A rich medicinal fragrance filled the air, intoxicating those who took a whiff of it would feel their True Qi surging and their blood boiling, giving them a feeling of being on cloud nine.
A ten-meter-tall black stone tablet stood in the center of the courtyard with three simple navy blue characters written on it.
Spirit Medicine Garden
"Spirit Medicine Garden, isn't it filled with spirit herbs?" A pseudo Transcendent Realm master who discovered the Spirit Medicine Garden stared in surprise.
Spirit herbs were Transcendent level treasures, he hadn't expected to have a chance to obtain one.
Without hesitation, this pseudo Transcendent Realm master immediately stepped forward to enter the Spirit Medicine Garden but was blocked by an invisible barrier.
"Watch how I break it," With a shout, this pseudo Transcendent Realm master immediately attacked.
After a few consecutive attacks, that layer of invisible protection was incomparably tough, blocking all of his attacks without breaking at all.
As time passed, more and more people arrived and after discovering the Spirit Medicine Garden, all of them became excited.
"Let's join forces, otherwise no one will be able to enter."
"Yes, let's join forces and break this barrier first. What we can obtain after entering will depend on our own ability."
"Good."
Immediately, everyone agreed and began attacking the invisible barrier, trying to break it.
One sword slashed down, the other slashed down like a grain of fire.
Chen Zong finally cut off the connection between the black wolf puppet's core and the pressure it faced suddenly lessened.
The remaining three puppet beasts didn't have any sentience and couldn't immediately adjust themselves, so when the pressure on them was reduced, Chen Zong broke through them one by one, cutting off their connection to their cores. Without a supply of energy, the four puppet beasts became motionless.
With a wave of his hand, Chen Zong collected all four puppet beasts.
"There's nothing else," Chen Zong swept his eyes around, but there didn't seem to be any new puppet beasts or anything else.
While he was feeling surprised, the wall in front of him cracked again, this time only one.
A figure strode out from the crack, surprising Chen Zong because this figure was different from the previous ones, it was in human form.
This was a humanoid puppet.
He was two meters tall and carried a long saber on his back. He looked like a general covered in black armor.
Its eyes were scarlet, and the red light it emitted was shocking. The cold aura it emitted was even more powerful than any of the previous Puppet Beasts. It brought Chen Zong obvious pressure.
The Puppet Warrior rapidly approached Chen Zong. Every step it took caused an astonishing momentum to reverberate in the surroundings. Every step seemed to be stepping on Chen Zong's heart, causing the rhythm of his heartbeat to become chaotic, affecting his Qi and blood, which in turn affected the circulation of his strength.
However, Chen Zong calmed down in an instant and got rid of this negative effect.
However, the Puppet General pulled out the long black saber on its back. The long and narrow saber was like a bolt of black lightning, carrying the force of a thunderbolt as it slashed down fiercely. The saber could split rivers and split mountains, cutting everything into pieces.
The horrifying strike sent chills down Chen Zong's spine. It was obviously a strike that had reached the level of a six-star warrior.
He hurriedly used the Floating Swan Movement Technique to quickly move away, narrowly avoiding the Puppet General's saber strike. A crack appeared on the ground, spreading out like lightning.
Chen Zong circled to the side and attacked with his two swords.
The core of this puppet general and the core of the puppet beast were located at about the same position. However, before Chen Zong's two swords could strike, the long saber swept over like a sweeping army. The whistling sound was filled with an awe-inspiring killing intent, and the terrifying chill caused Chen Zong's hair to stand on end.
The afterimage was cut off. Chen Zong appeared in the air and attacked directly.
The Puppet General's body was extremely hard. Chen Zong's two swords could not break it. He had to hit the core directly.
However, the Puppet General's strength was too shocking. Even if it only relied on its strength and speed without much skill, its power was infinitely close to a six-star warrior. It was extremely terrifying.
In terms of combat strength, Chen Zong was only a late-stage five-star warrior.
It would be difficult to defeat it if he fought it head-on. He could only fully utilize his advantage.
The two swords blocked the Puppet General's saber strike. Under the horrifying power, Chen Zong felt his two swords vibrate. The horrifying impact numbed his hands and arms, and his Qi and blood vibrated so violently that they almost collapsed.
Chen Zong took the opportunity to quickly retreat and dodge. He adjusted his Qi, blood, and True Power. His sharp gaze locked onto the Puppet General's core.
There was no doubt that the Puppet General was very strong. However, without enough skill, its limitations were obvious. The drawback was within Chen Zong's control. Otherwise, if it was a six-star warrior, Chen Zong might not be a match for him.
"The core is there, but the Puppet General will actively defend. If I want to cut off the connection between the core and the Puppet General, I have to break its defense first." Chen Zong's thoughts turned quickly.
In this way, he only had one attack, the strongest attack with all his strength. However, he still had to reserve some strength for the second attack.
After making up his mind, Chen Zong focused all his spirit and will to activate the Sword Intent.
A sword pierced through the air.
Eighty percent of the Unhindered True Power, the Star Scar Sword's own power, and the Sword Intent combined into one, performing the Point Star Secret Sword.
It was an extremely powerful sword attack. Its power had already surpassed the peak of five-star, approaching the peak of five-star.
This sword attack went straight for the core.
As expected, the Puppet General immediately waved its saber to block.
It was a powerful saber attack. Its power was infinitely close to the six-star level. However, it was not a real six-star level warrior after all. Being unprepared, Chen Zong's sword attack was shattered, but the long saber was also slightly pushed away.
All of a sudden, the other Star Scar Sword sliced through the air with the last twenty percent of the Unhindered True Power. It was like a deep blue shooting star.
The long saber was coincidentally pushed away. Although the Puppet General was powerful, it did not violate some rules. It was unable to wave its saber to block in time. This sword attack went straight for the core.
Under the impact of the skillful power, the connection between the core and the Puppet General was suddenly cut off. The saber that the Puppet General had just waved also stopped above Chen Zong's head. It blew Chen Zong's black hair into the air, and his scalp went numb. The shocking sharpness of the saber felt like it was going to cut his head open. It was extremely horrifying.
Almost, just a little bit. He might have been killed. Luckily, he was a little bit faster.
Waving his hand, Chen Zong put the Puppet General into his Void Ring.
Taking out the Zhen Pellet, he quickly recovered his Unhindered True Power. Chen Zong did not know if there would be other Puppet Beasts or Puppet Generals.
A cracking sound was heard. The wall in front of him cracked open again. However, nothing else came out. Instead, it seemed to be welcoming Chen Zong.
Calming his mind, Chen Zong walked towards the door and stepped inside.
His muscles tensed and his fingers relaxed, ready to erupt with astonishing power at any time, but he did not encounter any attack.
A light suddenly appeared in front of him. Another secret room, different from the previous one, was smaller and had two balls of light suspended in the middle, one black and the other white.
"Choose one of the rewards." The cold and stiff voice sounded again.
Chen Zong's eyes fell on the two different-coloured balls of light. Just like the previous Heaven and Earth doors, they should be different. Which one should he choose as the reward?
While he was thinking, another aura suddenly appeared. In the next breath, it became fierce and filled with murderous intent.
Chen Zong was shocked. It was the Ten Thousand Sifting Sect's Pseudo Transcendent. He had not expected him to also come here.
The Ten Thousand Sifting Sect's Pseudo Transcendent coughed up blood in anger, but he finally passed the Earth door's assessment and successfully entered this place. Seeing the two balls of light and hearing the voice to make a choice, he immediately saw Chen Zong's figure.
However, in front of the reward, the Ten Thousand Sifting Sect's Pseudo Transcendent did not attack Chen Zong first. Although his murderous intent had already locked onto Chen Zong, he took the initiative to rush towards the two balls of light. Chen Zong also moved. The reward was right in front of him and he was closer to it.
Whether it was the black or white balls of light, Chen Zong did not know what they were, so he chose the one closest to him.
Black Ball of Light
When Chen Zong's palm touched the black ball of light, it suddenly exploded, turning into countless specks of light that rushed towards Chen Zong. At the same time, the Ten Thousand Sifting Sect's Pseudo Transcendent also touched the white ball of light. The white ball of light then exploded, turning into countless specks of light that sank into the Ten Thousand Sifting Sect's Pseudo Transcendent's body.
Whether it was Chen Zong or the Ten Thousand Sifting Sect's Pseudo Transcendent Realm master, the two of them stood motionless in place, as if they had become two wooden statues.
It wasn't that they didn't want to move, but that they couldn't. The black and white balls of light had turned into extremely dense light spots, and all of them had fused into their bodies. Countless information also surged into their minds, making them seem like puppets.
Although the Ten Thousand Sifting Sect's Pseudo Transcendent Realm master was unable to move, his eyes could not hide the changes in his emotions. First, they were stunned, then shocked, and finally ecstatic.
He had never imagined that what he had obtained would actually be an inheritance, an inheritance of Puppetry Technique.
The information contained in this Puppetry Technique was extremely complex and profound. After learning it, not only would one be able to create puppets with their own hands, but they would also be able to control puppets. There was even hope that one could use this as a foundation to embark on a path not inferior to the Transcendent Realm.
This was a great opportunity.
Chen Zong's expression remained unchanged, his eyes as calm as a deep pool, as if he was brewing something. The black balls of light on his body began to flow naturally, like water ripples, seemingly flowing in and out of Chen Zong's body before covering the surface of his body, gradually thickening until they completely enveloped Chen Zong's body.
This was obviously a different reward from the Ten Thousand Sifting Sect's Pseudo Transcendent Realm master.
The two of them did not know what the other party's reward was, but one thing was certain, and that was that they had to completely accept the reward in order to restore their mobility, which meant death.
Whoever received the reward first would be able to restore their mobility first and would be able to attack the other. Even if Chen Zong's combat power was not as good as his opponent's, if he could restore his mobility first, he would be able to kill the Ten Thousand Sifting Sect's Pseudo Transcendent Realm master; after all, both of them were currently in a defenseless state.
It was a race against time, and both of them took the initiative to cooperate, doing their best to absorb and digest the reward.
"Hahahaha, Chen Zong, it's time for you to die." Suddenly, the Ten Thousand Sifting Sect's Pseudo Transcendent Realm master moved because he had successfully received all the rewards. All that was left was for him to slowly study and cultivate in the future.
Without hesitation, the Ten Thousand Sifting Sect's Pseudo Transcendent Realm master restored his mobility and immediately sent out a palm strike, wanting to strangle Chen Zong.
