Chen Yu was not only the founder of the School of Mo, but also the person with the highest attainments and the deepest cultivation.
Although he did not dismantle Gu Chen's puppet in detail, Chen Yu still vaguely felt a sense of danger.
The danger did not refer to the possibility of endangering others, but to Gu Chen's next experiment.
Gu Chen wanted to use himself as the subject of the first-hand experiment.
"It's the best choice for me to do it myself. It's convenient for me to grasp the first-hand experience gain."
Gu Chen smiled at Chen Yu, Ma Kun, and the others.
Then, he held the puppet in his hand and aimed the tip of the puppet's foot at his heart.
The awl-like spike was pressed against his chest.
Everyone in the Hall of Heavenly Works was horrified.
But Gu Chen was obviously not being polite to them.
As if to commit suicide, he had pierced the puppet into his own chest.
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun watched this scene with interest.
Someone in the Palace of Works shouted, "Are you crazy?"
However, Gu Chen did not seem to feel the pain of his heart being pierced. Instead, he looked relaxed and smiled. "How could it be?"
Then, everyone watched the puppet disappear in front of his chest as if it was buried in his body.
The next moment, Gu Chen's body of flesh and blood began to gradually change.
His body also began to swell and grow.
However, it was not his flesh and blood that was expanding. The surface of his body was cold and hard. In the end, he seemed to have turned into a huge puppet more than three meters tall with a metallic luster all over.
Zhang Dongyun's cultivation strength and eyesight were now far beyond that of ordinary people.
Even without the help of the Invincible City System, he could see that Gu Chen's heart was crystallized, and there was a steady stream of spiritual energy flowing from it, supplying his whole body and causing his body to constantly change.
The giant puppet that Gu Chen turned into continued to grow. Eventually, it was more than six meters tall and stood in the Palace of Works like a steel giant.
The puppet's facial features did not have the characteristics of Gu Chen himself, but were blurred.
It looked like the puppet that he pierced into his body was magnified many times. However, the steel puppet no longer had such a sharp spike at its feet.
Everyone in the Palace of Works looked at Gu Chen in shock. "Are … are you okay?"
"It's a little better than I expected."
The steel puppet did not speak, but Gu Chen's voice came from its chest and abdomen.
Ma Kun frowned. "It's not you inside the steel puppet, but only your soul?"
Gu Chen replied, "Strictly speaking, there is no distinction between us."
Ma Kun took a deep breath. "So, you mean to say that you have become like this?"
Although the visual effects just now seemed to be the case, to Ma Kun, no matter how he looked at it, such a change was a demonic cultivation, not a mechanism of the School of Mohism.
"Can you return to your original form at any time?" Chen Yu asked.
Gu Chen replied, "As expected, it should be. But before that, I'll test something else first."
After saying that, the huge steel puppet immediately moved its limbs on the spot.
His movements looked stiff and clumsy, unlike a real person.
But with just a few casual gestures, the onlookers could feel the great power behind them.
The steel puppet was extremely tall. Fortunately, the interior of the Hall of Heavenly Works was just as spacious, allowing it to move freely.
Gu Chen, who had turned into an iron puppet, leaped forward.
Although his movements looked stiff, the speed and distance of his leap in a straight line were extremely shocking.
Compared to his huge body, his speed could be said to be unbelievably fast.
Chen Yu, Ma Kun, and the others looked at each other.
"We can't compare him to humans, but compared to some large-sized demons, such a leap is at least at the Demon Royal Realm. He has begun to gather starlight, right?" Someone said in an uncertain tone.
Chen Yu said, "His strength is not bad either."
Everyone had different expressions, but most of them frowned.
Gu Chen himself, without considering his attainments in the School of Mohism, was only at the Fifth Realm in terms of his original demonic cultivation.
But after he turned into an iron puppet, the physique of a Tenth Realm human martial artist or great demon might not be comparable to his.
Considering the materials used to create the puppet, if their value was fully realized, the strength of this puppet's body was probably above that of many Martial Emperors of the Human Clan and Demon Royal Realm.
And …
"Based on those materials, it should not only be used to build the physique."
Before Chen Yu finished speaking, the steel puppet suddenly raised its hand.
Purple brilliance surged in the center of its palm.
The next moment, a purple light flew out and hit the target in the Hall of Heavenly Works, which was specially used to test weapons.
Gu Chen's aim was obviously not very good. The purple light did not hit the center of the target, but fell to the side.
But the target immediately shook violently, and the edge cracked on the spot.
"How much Purple Silver Iron did this guy add?" Ma Kun scolded angrily. "You don't know the cost of firewood until you're in charge!"
Someone whispered softly, "If he adds some more treasures that contain the mystery of the void, will this big guy be able to break through the void and move like a real Martial Emperor or Demon Royal?"
Hearing this, everyone frowned slightly. "I'm afraid it's really hard to say …"
While everyone was discussing, Gu Chen was also doing his best in various aspects.
Until the steel puppet's movements gradually slowed down.
"Is this the limit?"
Gu Chen's dissatisfied voice came from the steel puppet.
He quickly stopped, then suddenly raised his palm and cut off his other arm with the purple light.
Seeing this, everyone was shocked again. "What are you doing?"
"Don't worry. It can't feel pain." Gu Chen replied, "This is one of the advantages of the puppet that I expected."
The steel puppet's defensive power was indeed very high. It took a while for Gu Chen to cut off one of its arms with the purple light.
As the purple light consumed a large amount of energy, the gigantic steel puppet finally came to a complete stop and became motionless.
"The spiritual energy is consumed very quickly."
Everyone in the Hall of Heavenly Works was talking about it.
"Why did he cut off his arm in the end?"
"It doesn't seem to be purely testing attack and defense."
"Have the spiritual energy of so many rare and precious materials been completely exhausted?"
"I don't think so. It should be a temporary silence. I feel that the puppet contains the Five Elements Transformation Formation. After a period of rest, it can recover."
They gradually immersed themselves in academic research and discussed excitedly.
In the Daming Palace, a certain Castellan surnamed Zhang did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Compared with the current world, Gu Chen's style was a little distorted.
Although some inventions made by Chen Yu and the others were not in the right style, Gu Chen's was indeed a little ridiculous.
Moreover, there were still many problems in his research.
In the Hall of Heavenly Works, Chen Yu and the others also felt that something was wrong.
After the steel puppet fell silent, there were no other changes.
And Gu Chen himself never showed up.
"He … he can't change back, can he?" Ma Kun was horrified.
Chen Yu's brows were tightly knitted as he moved closer to Xu Xiaoshou and sized him up carefully.
Seeing the puppet that Gu Chen held in his hand with sharp vertebrae extending from its feet, Chen Yu had an ominous feeling.
When he saw Gu Chen pierce the sharp awl into his chest, he felt even more uneasy.
Fortunately, Gu Chen did not seem to die.
But now, he had to face another problem.
The puppet might not be able to change back …
Chen Yu looked up at the sky and thought for a long time. Then he said, "Get the Heaven's Wailing Frost."
Hearing this, Ma Kun immediately went to get it.
The others looked at each other.
The Heaven's Wailing Frost was extremely rare, and only a small amount was kept in the Hall of Heavenly Works in Chang 'an.
This thing was a big taboo for evil cultivators because it might affect the change of demon blood.
For demons, even if they transformed into human form, they might be forced back to their original form by the Heaven's Wailing Frost.
Of course, because the Heaven's Wailing Frost was too rare, they could only get some occasionally, but it could only work on low-level demons.
Before the total amount could not be increased, it was difficult for this thing to affect demons on a large scale.
After Ma Kun got the Heaven's Wailing Frost, Chen Yu smeared a little bit of it on the chest of the steel puppet, corresponding to the position of the human heart.
After a while, the huge steel puppet suddenly shrank.
Finally, Gu Chen reappeared in front of everyone.
Everyone looked carefully and saw that Gu Chen's arms were intact.
But the puppet in his hand, which had shrunk again, was missing an arm and fell to the side.
"Generally speaking, it's a success, but there are some omissions. As expected, I still have to test it to find out."
Gu Chen's spirit was a little weak, but his expression was calm.
Ma Kun said angrily, "You almost couldn't change back. I don't believe that it didn't affect your soul at all."
Gu Chen nodded calmly. "Yes, it does damage to the soul. If the puppet loses its power but doesn't return to its human form, the human's soul will be imprisoned and slowly consumed. After a long time, it will dissipate."
He glanced at Chen Yu. "Deacon, did you use the Heaven's Wailing Frost to help me recover? It seems that the Heaven's Wailing Frost is one of the nemeses, and I still need to make up for it. "
Everyone was angry. "Without the Heaven's Wailing Frost, you would have been dead!"
Chen Yu was calm. "After the steel puppet loses its power, the Heaven's Wailing Frost should be able to work."
Gu Chen nodded slightly. "That's right."
"Your progress is much greater than I expected, and the risk is much smaller." Chen Yu deliberated his words. "But it's still very dangerous. On the other hand, have you considered the problem of popularization?"
Gu Chen replied, "As we go deeper, I believe that there will be a way to further coordinate the combination of raw materials, which can make the puppet stronger and more economical."
Chen Yu said, "You still can't be too hasty. You need to act cautiously."
He was very gentle to Gu Chen, but Ma Kun and the others did not think so.
In Ma Kun's view, the greatest value of Gu Chen's strange puppet technique was the broken arm.
Because it meant that after a person turned into a steel puppet, the damage he suffered would eventually fall on the puppet. After the steel puppet turned back into a human, the injury would not continue to be fed back to the original person.
If it was popularized on a large scale, it might be a team with infinite strength, tireless, and most importantly, unafraid of casualties.
Even if it was not used as an army, but used in other large-scale projects, it would still have some value.
However, it might take more manpower and material resources to make such a puppet than to cultivate a superior cultivator of the same level.
Before the resources were abundant, it was hard to say how practical it would be.
The most popular direction was the children of the rich and powerful.
The talent of cultivators was more or less inherited, but it was not to the extent that the son of a mouse could only dig holes.
Other clans than the Human Clan attached more importance to bloodline inheritance.
The bloodline inheritance of the Human Clan's cultivators was relatively less.
The descendants of the top powerhouses might surpass their masters, but they might also have strong fathers and weak sons.
In this case, if the elders still had to take care of their descendants, it would become a matter of high investment and low output.
Although it was often said that if so many resources were fed to a pig, the pig could fly. Most of the time, this was just a joke.
But Gu Chen's invention might really make the pig fly.
From this point of view, Ma Kun was not very interested in Gu Chen's research.
Chen Yu could see the influence in this aspect, but he still helped Gu Chen with the idea of encouraging the younger generation.
As a new cultivation sect, the School of Mo still had many shortcomings.
If they wanted to develop further and more broadly, they needed to be tolerant of all kinds of ideas and attempts.
Gu Chen was a super genius of the School of Mo in this aspect.
His experiment today was already half successful. Completing the main framework was far from an idea.
Based on this point alone, Chen Yu was optimistic that he would become the second Divine Armament in the history of the School of Mo.
Speaking of which, Chen Yu was the only Divine Armament in the School of Mo's cultivation path so far.
The highest was Ma Kun, who was still at the Ninth Realm.
Gu Chen, on the other hand, was likely to surpass him.
"I have to admit that he has the potential. His talent is above mine."
Chen Yu and Ma Kun chatted in private. Ma Kun also admitted this point. "It's a pity that I don't like the direction of his research. If only this talent could be used to benefit more people."
Chen Yu smiled. "Although his thinking is a little unconventional, it has nothing to do with absurdity and evil. Let him be. I only hope that more and more geniuses like him will emerge."
Ma Kun nodded. "Yes, by then, the School of Mo will have truly matured. We won't need Your Majesty's support now."
He looked at Chen Yu. "Speaking of which, do you have an idea of the five realms of Divine Armaments?"
Chen Yu nodded. "Other than the Tenth Realm, which is called Heavenly Arts, I plan to name the next four realms as Hundred Refinement, Ghost Axe, Divine Arts and Exhaustion."
Ma Kun pondered over what he said. "Exhaustion … Is there a limit to human strength? It's obviously the Fourteenth Realm of the School of Mo, the peak of Divine Armament. Why is it called such a name? "
Chen Yu smiled and said, "Although the tenth realm is known as a heavenly work of art, it is more of my personal beautiful hope, or perhaps wishful thinking. Our tenth realm is still far from being a heavenly work of art. If we can also reach the fifteenth realm, I believe that we can truly seize the fortune of heaven and earth with our own strength!"
Hearing this, Ma Kun had a look of yearning. "Heavenly Arts? The real Heavenly Arts? I really hope that day will come! "
Chen Yu patted him on the shoulder. "It will."
