The Heart of Heavenly Craftsmanship
Chu Xingyun was shocked by Mowang Gong's reaction and hurriedly helped him up.
"What I said just now was just a simple reminder. It's not a great principle. Senior Mo, you don't have to be so courteous," Chu Xingyun said hurriedly. He did not know whether to laugh or cry.
However, Mo Wang Gong shook his head and replied, "There is no such thing as big or small in this world. Although your words are simple, they have solved a problem that has troubled me for many years and made me completely enlightened. You deserve this bow."
As Chu Xingyun said, the onlooker sees the game clearly.
Mowang Gong had placed too much importance on the white tiger, so much so that he had lost his mind. He had even forgotten the fundamental difference between a spiritual puppet and a living creature.
If not for Chu Xingyun's reminder, Mowang Gong would still be in endless confusion. He would not be able to discover his mistake, let alone find a solution.
"Buzz!"
At this moment, the entire space suddenly trembled.
In Chu Xingyun's vision, all the treasures in the smithing room disappeared. They turned into faint flowing lights and gathered in Mowang Gong's storage ring.
"According to our agreement, this storage ring is now yours," Mowang Gong smiled and handed the storage ring to Chu Xingyun.
Before this, Mowang Gong had said that as long as Chu Xingyun passed the three tests, he would give all his treasures to Chu Xingyun. Even the white tiger in front of him was no exception.
Now that Chu Xingyun had successfully passed the three tests, all the treasures in the storage ring belonged to him.
"Thank you, senior!" Chu Xingyun took the storage ring and took a deep breath to suppress the excitement in his heart. Only then did he split a part of his consciousness into the storage ring.
As soon as he entered the storage ring, Chu Xingyun felt a vast sea of Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth pressing toward him.
In his eyes, the entire space was astonishingly large. It was at least ten square feet. In the void in front of him, there were five flowing lights. They were a hundred meters long and had a misty color. As they moved and circled, they emitted endless pure Spiritual Energy.
These five flowing lights were the Mystic Spiritual Veins.
Below the five Profound Grade spirit veins were many stone platforms and wooden cabinets. Inside them were either spirit wood or spirit materials. There were so many types that even Chu Xingyun couldn't recognize them all.
However, this was to be expected.
Mowang Gong was the Ancient Martial Emperor.... His lifetime collection must have been from the Ancient Age.... and the treasures...... of treasures......
No matter how knowledgeable Chu Xingyun was, it was impossible for him to recognize all of them.
"As long as the Qitian Peak can pass this tribulation, with these rare treasures, it will definitely become an overlord." Chu Xingyun murmured in a low voice. In his heart, a sense of pride rose.
Withdrawing his consciousness, Chu Xingyun carefully put away the storage ring. He looked at Mowang Gong and asked, "Senior Mo, you've given me your lifetime collection. What do you plan to do after this?"
"I plan to stay." Mowang Gong immediately replied. His words made Chu Xingyun's gaze turn serious.
One had to know that Mo Wang Gong had left a trace of his soul in the Heavenly Craftsmanship Secret Realm for tens of thousands of years. His goal was to find the inheritor he liked and help him spread the Wood Armor Path.
At this moment, he had already acknowledged Chu Xingyun. It seemed meaningless to continue staying in the Heaven's Craft Secret Territory.
As if seeing through Chu Xingyun's doubts, Mowang Gong laughed and explained, "Right now, I'm just a part of my soul. If I leave the Heaven's Craft Secret Territory, I'll quickly turn into ashes. Rather than die meaninglessly, I'd rather stay here."
"After all, as long as I'm still alive and have a trace of consciousness, I can pass on the Wood Armor Path to anyone who enters the Heaven's Craft Secret Territory in the future. This way, it'll be of some use."
As he spoke, Mowang Gong waved his arm. A light rose, and a figure appeared in front of Chu Xingyun.
This figure was a human-shaped Soul Puppet. It was six feet tall and was surrounded by golden pearls and jade. Its skin was so real that it was almost no different from a human's. Even the tiny pores on its skin could be seen clearly.
"If it wasn't for the fact that there's no trace of life in this Soul Puppet, I'm afraid even I wouldn't be able to recognize it," Chu Xingyun sighed. He was once again impressed by Mowang Gong's exquisite skills.
Mowang Gong twisted his body and immediately turned into a wisp of green smoke, entering the Soul Puppet. The pair of lifeless eyes immediately emitted a wisp of divine light, revealing wisdom and depth.
"Hmm?"
Chu Xingyun was suddenly stunned. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the Soul Puppet's heart. He asked, "Senior Mo, the heart of this human-shaped Soul Puppet seems to be no different from the heart of the White Tiger."
As he spoke, Chu Xingyun took out the Soul Puppet's heart. The aura and fluctuation of the two were exactly the same. Even the dark golden brilliance was so similar.
This made Chu Xingyun somewhat puzzled.
In his memory, the Soul Puppet's heart was the source of Spiritual Power and the location of the soul.
Different Soul Puppets would definitely have different Soul Puppets' hearts. It could even be said that the difference was huge. Casually installing or replacing it could cause the Soul Puppet to mutate and even turn into a pile of scrap metal.
This was the foundation of the Way of Mechanical Wood Armor. It was impossible that Mowang Gong did not know about it.
"A normal Soul Puppet's heart naturally cannot be casually replaced. However, the Soul Puppet's heart in your hand is an exception."
Mowang Gong smiled mysteriously and continued, "This Soul Puppet's heart is the result of my painstaking efforts. It contains all of my knowledge and secret skills. The Spiritual Wood used is also a rarely seen Level Nine item. Just forging it into shape requires a hundred years of time. The difficulty is not lower than forging the White Tiger."
"As long as you have this Soul Puppet's heart, no matter what Soul Puppet or Mechanical Wood Armor it is, as long as you install it, you can immediately manipulate it at will without any abnormalities. I call this thing the Heart of Heavenly Craftsmanship!"
Hearing Mowang Gong's words, Chu Xingyun's heart trembled violently, and he felt his palm inexplicably sink.
Spiritual items were divided into three, six, and nine grades.
A Level 9 item was rarely seen even in a thousand years. Who would have thought that this seemingly unremarkable Soul Puppet Heart was actually a Level 9 item?
"This Heart of Heavenly Craftsmanship can almost be said to defy common sense. When the Nature Work Sect was at its peak, there had never been such a heaven-defying item." Chu Xingyun thought of the Nature Work Sect in his previous life. Although their skills were strong, they were far inferior to Mowang Gong.
It could be seen that the sect master of the Nature Work Sect in his previous life did not receive Mowang Gong's lifelong inheritance.
At this time, Mowang Gong suddenly said, waking Chu Xingyun from his memories, "Little guy, release a trace of spiritual power into the depths of the Heart of Heavenly Craftsmanship. There is something inside. See if you can recognize it."
He was taken aback at first, then he released a trace of spiritual power into the depths of the Heart of Heavenly Craftsmanship according to Mowang Gong's words.
Buzz!
Suddenly, Chu Xingyun felt his mind tremble. Even his soul had a strong sense of restraint, making it difficult for him to escape from the Heart of Heavenly Craftsmanship.
"This is the Soul Suppressing Stone?" Chu Xingyun said subconsciously.
"Yes, it's the Soul Suppressing Stone!"
Mowang Gong's face showed a touch of admiration, "The Soul Suppressing Stone is an ancient strange object that can suppress the soul. Therefore, I embedded the Soul Suppressing Stone in the depths of the Heart of Heavenly Craftsmanship so that it has the effect of suppressing the soul. Even a wisp of remnant soul can rely on the Heart of Heavenly Craftsmanship to survive for a long time."
Hearing this, Chu Xingyun suddenly understood.
Normally, even if a wisp of remnant soul could hide from heaven and earth and live in the secret realm, it could only exist for a thousand years at most. After a thousand years, it would immediately turn into nothingness, and the soul would dissipate.
But Mowang Gong was different. His wisp of remnant soul had existed for tens of thousands of years, and the reason was this Soul Suppressing Stone!
"The Heavenly Craftsmanship Secret Realm was originally created by me. Relying on the Heart of Heavenly Craftsmanship, I can let my remnant soul live for more than a hundred thousand years. Unfortunately, once I leave the Heavenly Craftsmanship Secret Realm, I will immediately turn into ashes. After all, no matter how powerful the Soul Suppressing Stone is, it can't go against the supreme rules of heaven and earth." Mowang Gong couldn't help but sigh when he said this.
The rules of heaven and earth couldn't be changed, and everyone had to follow them. Otherwise, why would he have to live in the Heavenly Craftsmanship Secret Realm and endure tens of thousands of years of loneliness?
"After the soul leaves the body, it will slowly dissipate. Even an ancient strange object like the Soul Suppressing Stone can't be preserved forever. It's the same for remnant souls. In other words, if you can prevent the remnant soul from dissipating, relying on the Heart of Heavenly Craftsmanship, can you live forever?" Chu Xingyun raised his head and looked at Mowang Gong, his voice carrying a trace of seriousness.
Mowang Gong was shocked by these words.
He pondered for a moment and replied, "A living being is divided into three parts, the body, vitality, and soul. As long as the soul doesn't dissipate, the body can be replaced by the body of a soul puppet, and the vitality can be replaced by the heart of a soul puppet. It can indeed live forever."
"However, after the soul leaves the body, it will definitely dissipate without a trace. This is an eternal truth, and no one can refute it."
After pondering for a moment, Mowang Gong added. His voice carried a trace of sternness, as if he was afraid that Chu Xingyun would mistakenly go astray and wanted to wake him up with a shout.
