Chapter 393: The Tian Puppet Master, The Talented Young Man
After a battle ended, the support puppets began clearing away the remains of the beast race.
A Small Spiritual Boat flew to the middle-aged butcher’s puppet, and a brand-new Knife-wielding Puppet stepped down. Although it didn’t have the same high specifications as the middle-aged butcher’s puppet, it was still a top-tier existence among Nascent Soul Stage puppets.
“Every time you come out, it pains my heart,” the middle-aged butcher said, switching his consciousness to that puppet as his beloved top-tier puppet was taken away by the Small Spiritual Boat.
“Should we buy another puppet as a backup? I heard a new model of the Knife-wielding Puppet has been released—the Tian Knife Puppet,” he suggested.
“Do you have spirit stones? With that money, you might as well save up to buy a Transformation Stage puppet. Now, you’re already a fifth-tier Tian Puppet Master,” Spirit Cut frowned, sensing his friend was veering off course.
“A Transformation Stage puppet is too expensive.”
“Let’s just make do with the Nascent Soul Stage puppet for now,” the middle-aged butcher said.
“Your fighting spirit isn’t enough; that legendary one is about to advance to a sixth-tier Tian Puppet Master and already has his own Transformation Stage puppet.”
“Now he’s even been received by the Grand Elder of the sect, claiming to be the first to become a sixth-tier Tian Puppet Master. The Grand Elder will personally craft him a Void Refinement Stage Puppet, and the top three will also get one—you need to work harder,” Spirit Cut encouraged.
“Really? How come I didn’t know about this?” The middle-aged butcher perked up immediately.
“You don’t even check the information in the game and only know how to kill demons and gather spirit stones to buy puppets,” Spirit Cut said, unfolding a light curtain that played footage of a puppet battle.
On the battlefield, a Swordsman Puppet wielded a Spiritual Sword, seamlessly blending into the Demon Army as if entering an empty realm.
With each swing of its sword, the puppet wiped out numerous beasts. Just then, the Swordsman Puppet suddenly lifted its sword, causing the ground to crack, and a Transformation Stage giant snake with its bloodthirsty mouth burst forth.
The puppet then unleashed an incredibly fierce sword light downward, cleaving straight into the giant snake’s mouth, splitting its head in two.
The Transformation Stage giant snake was vanquished.
All this happened in the blink of an eye, and afterward, the Swordsman Puppet continued to slay demons as if it had just completed a trivial task.
Although the puppet had no expression, the middle-aged butcher sensed a cold and heartless aura emanating from it.
“Do you see that? The most basic version of a Transformation Stage Swordsman Puppet.”
“Killing Transformation Stage Beasts is like slaughtering dogs,” Spirit Cut remarked. Given its fighting strength, if they could control a Great Ascension Stage puppet, with Spirit Cut’s current power, he could only think of fleeing.
“It’s even stronger than before; I can’t compare to it,” the middle-aged butcher admitted, watching the puppet on the light curtain, feeling that its performance had reached its peak.
At that moment, Xu Fan on Hidden Spirit Island was also observing the puppet’s actions.
“I have to say, he is truly a natural Tian Puppet Master. This skill can be called the realm of gods,” Xu Fan praised.
“This boy’s talent is superior to mine back in the Dream World,” Li Xingci said beside Xu Fan while holding a child.
“In just a few short years, this boy has reached the level I attained in my previous life.”
In that reincarnation dream in the Void Realm, Li Xingci had eventually reached the level of a seventh-tier Tian Puppet Master and had encountered few adversaries in that Dream World.
“He’s impressive, but he doesn’t have any spirit roots. I personally checked and found he’s an empty body. There’s no way to Reverse Fate; is this what they call heaven jealous of gifted individuals?” Xu Fan sighed.
“Is there no other way?” Li Xingci lamented, knowing that a Mortal Body’s lifespan is only one hundred and twenty years. Even with holy elixirs, one could only live up to one hundred and fifty years.
This short amount of time is almost negligible for a cultivator.
“There are plenty of methods, but our current capabilities fall short,” Xu Fan said, stroking his chin.
By then, the battle on the light curtain had ended, and the young operator guided the puppet back to the Steel Wall, standing still as he gazed into the distance.
“This boy is pitiful—he was among the last from the mortal kingdom to escape to the Steel Wall.”
“He watched helplessly as his entire family was devoured by the beast race. If the patrolling puppet hadn’t found him, he’d have lost his mind by now.”
“Only after he got the chance to kill the beasts did his spirits improve slightly.”
“Don’t be fooled by how he stands here now; his mind is still replaying the details of the recent battle,” Xu Fan remarked. Such deep hatred, paired with meticulous thinking, makes for a truly terrifying individual.
Li Xingci sighed as he looked at the puppet on the light curtain.
“Enough sighing. Let’s talk about the situation with the Moon Fox Clan,” Xu Fan said.
Ever since the Transformation Stage Moon Fox brought over the second batch of artifact masters, things had quieted down within the Rain Clan. This was because the Moon Fox Clan’s Great Ascension Beast Sovereign had emerged from seclusion and begun a thorough investigation into the disappearance of artifact masters within the clan.
So, Xu Fan devised a grand plan to snatch away all the lowly artifact masters of the Moon Fox Clan in one fell swoop.
As a major clan renowned for artifact crafting among the beast race, the Moon Fox Clan not only boasts a complete training system for artifact masters but also has three master craftsmen backing them.
The one taken by the Transformation Stage Moon Fox was merely the youngest of the three.
Xu Fan’s current plan was to bring over the other two master craftsmen to bolster the artifact crafting foundation of the Hidden Spirit Sect.
“The entire Moon Fox Clan is on high alert. Reports suggest it won’t be long before they suspect him, so we need to act quickly,” Li Xingci said.
“Can we buy half a year’s time?” Xu Fan asked, as the initial preparations for the grand plan required six months.
“Yes, they said with some preparations, we can delay it for seven months,” Li Xingci replied.
“Seven months is more than enough; it’ll give us time to refine the details,” Xu Fan chuckled.
“Master, is your plan reliable?” Li Xingci asked, feeling it was a bit too risky.
“Don’t worry. With Spirit Cut’s fighting strength capable of suppressing the Moon Fox Beast King, we’ll be fine even if the plan is exposed,” Xu Fan assured.
“As long as Master is prepared, I’m reassured,” Li Xingci said.
“Alright, go spend some time with your son. I need to prepare the items for the plan,” Xu Fan said with a smile.
The second clone and the master craftsman from the Moon Fox Clan were waiting for him.
In the underground space, Xu Fan, the second clone, and the Moon Fox Clan’s master craftsman were deep in discussion about how to craft a tool resembling a celestial tool.
At that moment, the light curtain displayed celestial scripts, written in the celestial script that Xu Fan and the Moon Fox Clan had mastered.
“If only the first clone were here; right now, this celestial script isn’t enough for a complete Celestial Script Formation,” Xu Fan said, looking at the celestial scripts on the light curtain.
Mixing in some ordinary runes might work, but it would significantly increase the risk of exposure.
Just then, the Moon Fox Clan’s master craftsman proposed another Celestial Script Formation, but Xu Fan rejected it.
