The arrival of Xiao Lingyu and the others did not attract the attention of the foreign experts of the Nephrite Continent. After entering the cave, they did not come out, nor did they walk around.
Xiao Lingyu sat cross-legged in a secret room in the simple cave. Around him were piles of various immortal stones.
He spread his arms and his palms constantly emitted a suction force, absorbing the immortal spiritual energy in the immortal stones into his body. Next to the chaotic nascent soul with three flowers above his head, an energy vortex was formed.
Waves of high-grade chaotic energy were constantly released by the chaotic nascent soul and added to the energy vortex, gradually transforming the immortal spiritual energy in the vortex into high-grade chaotic energy.
During the first two cycles of the Nine Revolution Chaos Formula, Xiao Lingyu could rely on a large amount of spiritual energy to improve his skills. However, during the third cycle of the chaotic convergence period, spiritual energy could no longer support the cultivation. Only immortal spiritual energy could support the cultivation. The reason why Xiao Lingyu took such a huge risk to go to Yuehua Prefecture to snatch the immortal stones was to speed up his cultivation during the chaotic convergence period so that his skills could improve faster.
If he followed the normal cultivation method and meditated every day to absorb the thin chaotic energy between heaven and earth, just one chaotic convergence period alone would trap Xiao Lingyu for at least tens of thousands of years. Xiao Lingyu did not have the patience to waste time, even though the skills he obtained would be more stable and he would be able to use them as he wished.
Ge Yunfei was also meditating in the secret room. However, he did not cultivate his skills. Instead, he continued to study the Art of Imperial Treasure while sacrificing the pearl.
After staying in the cave for a while, Ling 'er felt very bored and flew into the starry sky alone.
For Ling 'er who was an illusory spirit herb, absorbing the energy in the immortal stones was not very useful to her. If she wanted to improve her skills quickly, she had to master powerful spells and familiarize herself with the various magical powers and magic treasures of the cultivation world. Secondly, she had to continue devouring illusory spirits.
There were also Phantom Spirits on the continent, but unfortunately, they were very few in number, and their strength was generally very ordinary. Most of the powerful Phantom Spirits were in the Hallucinatory Nebula, so Ling'er flew into the starry sky to find the Hallucinatory Nebula.
Xiao Lingyu had a lot of top grade immortal stones and immortal crystals, so it was not difficult for him to improve his cultivation. But now, he could only quickly absorb the immortal spiritual energy in the middle and low grade immortal stones, because his body could not withstand the impact of the large amount of immortal spiritual energy in the high grade or higher grade immortal stones.
If Xiao Lingyu really wanted to quickly increase his cultivation, not only was his body's endurance a limitation, but his soul realm was also a problem. Without a strong enough soul realm, how could he control the energy in his body?
In the Cultivation World, there was a common sense that almost everyone knew, and that was that a cultivator's power level could not exceed their soul realm by too much. Otherwise, they would be unable to control their power and cause their body to explode.
Therefore, not long after, Xiao Lingyu stopped increasing his power, and the amount of immortal stones he used was not even one ten-thousandth of his collection of immortal stones.
Then, Xiao Lingyu began to study the Divine Puppet Art. If the Divine Puppet Art was used properly, it could definitely greatly increase Xiao Lingyu's combat strength.
Five years passed quickly, and one day, Xiao Lingyu suddenly took out the puppet that had exhausted its energy.
The puppet was quite tall, about ten feet tall, and its body was made of special black iron, which made it look very mighty. Even if a middle grade immortal weapon was used to attack it, it could only leave a white mark on its body. It could even block the attack of a high grade immortal weapon a few times, and only a top grade immortal weapon could really cause it great damage.
Xiao Lingyu circled the puppet a few times, and then found a diamond-shaped iron plate on the puppet's back. He turned it once, and there was a crisp sound. Then, the iron plate moved down half a foot with a piece of black iron, revealing a fist-sized dark groove.
This dark groove was used to fill energy crystals. As long as the energy crystals inside were not exhausted, the puppet could function normally. Of course, with the support of energy, it could only allow the black iron puppet to function automatically, and it could not display its full power.
Generally speaking, for a black iron puppet with strength comparable to a Ninth Tribulation expert, a high grade immortal stone could allow it to fight for an hour, and a top grade immortal stone could allow it to fight for a hundred times longer.
Xiao Lingyu directly filled the dark iron puppet with an immortal crystal, because not only could the immortal crystal extend the puppet's fighting time, it could also increase its combat strength. After all, the immortal spirit energy in the immortal crystal was of a much higher grade than ordinary immortal stones.
After the immortal crystal was filled, the black iron plate on the puppet's back returned to its original position. Then, the black iron puppet stretched its arms and took a step forward.
Providing energy to the puppet was only the first step. This did not allow Xiao Lingyu to control it.
However, the second step of controlling the puppet was actually very simple for Xiao Lingyu, who had comprehended the Divine Puppet Technique. He only needed to quickly form a seal, and then use the seal to wrap a wisp of his soul and insert it into the puppet's glabella.
The black iron puppet, which was still trying to regain its freedom of movement, once again froze on the spot after Xiao Lingyu's soul entered its brain.
The secret room was too small for the black iron puppet to display its abilities, so Xiao Lingyu brought it outside.
"Punch!"
Under Xiao Lingyu's command, the black iron puppet punched a small mountain not far away.
Instantly, an energy fist formed completely from pure immortal spirit energy flattened the small mountain, leaving a deep and wide gully along the way.
"The power of this punch is definitely not weaker than the full-force attack of a middle-grade immortal weapon." Xiao Lingyu nodded in satisfaction, then shouted, "Move at full speed!"
The black iron puppet, which was moving at full speed, turned into shadows. Its heavy body appeared very light and agile. Its speed was slightly faster than Xiao Lingyu's Wings of Extreme Speed, but it seemed to be slightly slower than a real Ninth Tribulation expert.
The black iron puppet's defense and attack power were not weak, but its speed was slightly slower.
"Primal Chaos Seal!"
Xiao Lingyu controlled the black iron puppet to form a seal. However, this was only an attempt, and he did not expect to succeed. After all, the activation of the Primal Chaos Seal required the support of the power of Primal Chaos.
What Xiao Lingyu did not expect was that the black iron puppet could actually form a seal. However, it was not the Primal Chaos Seal. Although it also looked like a Yin-Yang fish, it was of the same color and looked very awkward.
"Blast it out!"
The black iron puppet suddenly pushed its arms out, aiming at a large mountain not far away.
What surprised Xiao Lingyu was that the strange monochromatic Yin-Yang fish actually flattened the mountain and continued to charge forward. It flattened five mountains in a row before its power was exhausted.
"This … how is this possible? This is much stronger than the real Primal Chaos Seal that I activated! "Xiao Lingyu exclaimed in surprise.
Xiao Lingyu called the black iron puppet back, and after a careful inspection, he discovered that the immortal crystal had used up one-third of its energy.
"It actually used up so much energy in one go. No wonder it's so powerful!" Xiao Lingyu understood.
In the next few days, Xiao Lingyu continued to train the black iron puppet. He only returned to the secret chamber when he was familiar with controlling it.
After returning to the secret chamber, Xiao Lingyu took out the golden skeleton and muttered, "If I can refine this golden skeleton into a puppet, it would be a good choice. However, refining a puppet requires a lot of special materials. It's not just a refining method … "
After thinking carefully, Xiao Lingyu's eyes suddenly lit up. "Don't I have the materials ready? I'll first dismantle the black iron puppet, then merge the golden skeleton into the puppet …"
When he thought up to this point, Xiao Lingyu took out the Dark Iron Puppet once more and started dismantling it.
It was very easy to dismantle it, but the black iron puppet's structure was very complete. It was not easy for Xiao Lingyu to add the golden skeleton into it.
After studying for a long time, Xiao Lingyu still could not find a reasonable way to add the golden skeleton into the puppet. What made him even more depressed was that it was difficult for him to reassemble the original black iron puppet.
There were many parts of the black iron puppet that could not be touched, but Xiao Lingyu had touched them. There were also some parts that could not be reassembled after being dismantled. Xiao Lingyu had also dismantled it.
"Now that things have come to this, it seems that I can only refine it again!"
Xiao Lingyu was not too depressed. Now that he had all the materials, and he had the guidance of the Divine Puppet Technique, it was not difficult to refine the black iron puppet again.
"If I want to refine it again, I have to do it thoroughly!"
His own Primordial Fire appeared in Xiao Lingyu's palm. After his Primordial Fire improved, the power of his Primordial Fire also increased significantly.
Then, pieces of black iron were enveloped by the Primordial Fire and slowly melted …
This went on for more than ten years before Xiao Lingyu completely melted all the high-quality black iron into liquid.
As for the golden skeleton, Xiao Lingyu's Primordial Fire could not smelt it at all. Even if he burned it for a few years, the golden skeleton would not change at all.
Although Xiao Lingyu did not refine the golden skeleton, he drew some talisman patterns recorded in the Divine Puppet Technique on it. Then, he poured all the liquid black iron onto the golden skeleton and continuously struck out the Divine Puppet Technique's seals.
"Shaping seal!"
A wave of chaotic energy flew out from Xiao Lingyu's fingertips and enveloped all the liquid black iron. Then, it surrounded the golden skeleton and began to shape its shape.
Under the shaping seal, the new puppet gradually transformed into the appearance of a human cultivator. After a full four hours, the puppet's shape finally reached the final stage. However, it failed because of a small mistake by Xiao Lingyu.
Although he had failed this time, he did not waste too many materials. Xiao Lingyu could remodel the puppet, and this was one of the advantages of the Divine Puppetry Art. No matter how many times he failed, he would not waste too many materials.
After more than twenty attempts, Xiao Lingyu finally completed the shaping of the puppet.
