Long Live The Emperor!

Chapter 846: 13. Underground Anomaly, Crazy Plan (2 in 1)

Naturally, Xia Ji would not release all 30 puppets at once. Instead, he spent another day testing their strength.

As expected, due to the lack of spiritual energy, the power of these puppets temporarily stopped at the Dharma level…

After entering the land of spiritual energy, they only needed a short week or so to quickly advance to the Dharmakaya level.

In another week, he would be able to reach the level of divine arts.

And after a period of time…They could quickly grow to the highest level of power in this world.

Such a puppet could be described as a perverted monster.

They didn’t need to undergo any cultivation and were born in the Transcendence Realm. As long as they had Spirit Qi, they could continue to advance until they reached the ceiling of this world.

And this…

It was the Pangu puppet that Pangu had painstakingly developed.

While Xia Ji was growing up, Miao Miao was not idle. Her realm had improved by leaps and bounds. She had advanced from the initial Rank-5 martial artist to Rank-6. It had only been a few days.

The gap between their realms meant that the two of them could not act at the same time, at least not now.

After that, Xia Ji began to study array formations.

Once he could create a Spirit Gathering Array on his own, his remaining goal would become simple. He would have to find a place with abundant Spirit Qi.

Through spirit gathering, he could continuously increase his strength and help the puppet recover its strength.

However, it wasn’t easy to find an incomplete baneful land like Solitary Peak. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be difficult to add more puppets.

Autumn passed and winter came.

It was winter, and the weather was freezing.

Miao Miao’s realm had already broken through to Level Seven.

Xia Ji’s spirit gathering formation was still being studied. He understood the principle, but it was not easy to create a real formation plate.

It was only in the depths of winter that he finally managed to make his first array disc. However, this had already consumed a lot of the Array Dao Palace’s materials. In addition to the puppets he had used up, the Array Dao Palace’s materials could no longer last long.

Because he had researched the Spirit Gathering Formation on his own, Tingxue Academy had directly allocated a storage ring to him.

With the ring, Xia Ji brought the 30 puppets with him.

Then, it was time to go out and explore.

After all, with a sword immortal like Zi Chenxue at home, he no longer had to worry about anything.

Thus, Xia Ji began a short journey that would take anywhere from two to three days to half a month.

He had studied the surrounding terrain while sitting in the Academy.

Now, it was a field trip.

Along the way, even if he occasionally met other cultivators, he would not form a team and just brush past them.

He didn’t care what other cultivators were looking for or what treasures they heard.

His goal was very clear-to use the spiritual energy to improve himself and his puppets, and at the same time, to obtain more materials.

There was another meaning to upgrading the puppet, which was to use it to determine the current level of power in this world.

The winter was getting deeper and deeper.

Xia Ji sat cross-legged on a secluded cliff.

Behind him were thirty shadows.

The cliff was tens of thousands of feet high, and the spiritual energy under the rock wall was dense. It was like the deep sea waves surging between the black rocks, swallowing and spitting jagged rocks and dead branches.

At this moment, the spiritual energy was being guided by the spirit gathering array in all directions and gathered towards the center.

In order to give the puppet enough time to absorb the spiritual energy, Xia Ji had asked Zi Chenxue for a Fasting Pill in advance. At the same time, he had slowed down the speed at which he absorbed the spiritual energy…

He sat there for ten days.

Ten days later…

There were already 31 snowmen on the cliff.

Suddenly, one of the snowmen shook, and the snowflakes scattered, revealing the appearance of a youth behind it.

Xia Ji opened his eyes, and with a thought, the 30 puppets behind him scattered the snow, revealing the 10 trees and 20 black eagles behind them.

These puppets were actually flowing with an ink-colored luster.

“This is the fourteenth realm.

As expected, the Void Tribulant that was built on the foundation of the Blacktide was not as rigorous during the first tribulation…

Since the 14th level has already appeared, I still have to be extra careful.

After all, the black membrane of the 14th realm was something that could not be broken by anyone other than the 14th realm.

And I only have 30 ordinary level 14 experts.”

Xia Ji waved his hand, and the 30 puppets in front of him disappeared into his storage ring.

He raised his head to look at the sky. It was bright and sunny after the snow. The air was mixed with a hint of coldness. For a moment, silver flakes fell from the side, shining brightly in the golden sunlight.

“However, with these puppets, I can go to an even wider area to investigate…However, the time needed will also become longer…”

Time flew by.

After Xia Ji had his puppets, his control became much simpler.

Gather materials to create a Spirit Gathering Array.

With the “Spirit Gathering Array”, he would go to a place with dense spiritual energy to increase his strength and collect materials at the same time.

The cycle repeated.

He naturally remembered that Su Tian had said that the martial artists here needed to be in a mystic realm with extremely dense spiritual energy to break through to Level 12. He did not want to go to those places.

Since he could use the spirit gathering array to create a “secret realm”, why waste time fighting and killing those people?

Perhaps it was due to the strange changes happening under the ground, but Xia Ji actually encountered two fiendish lands that were still taking shape.

The ratio was about six to one to seven to one, which meant that they would encounter a fiendish land every six or seven times they went out.

To Xia Ji, these unformed fiendish lands were materials for mass-producing ‘puppets’.

However, no matter how many incomplete Transcendence Realm fiend demons there were, it was useless.

Every time he discovered a fiendish land, Xia Ji would directly fly into the air with the wind and release the black eagle puppet of the fourteenth level to kill them. He would also directly enter the fiendish land to retrieve the fiendish source.

As for the flesh and blood of those ancient mighty figures, he did not need them.

In this way, he had already gathered a hundred puppets.

Among them, 40 were plant-type.

Forty of them were bird-type, mainly black eagles.

The reason why he didn’t create them haphazardly was because he hoped that the puppets could form a team.

The plant puppets had the ability to conceal themselves. No matter where he was, as long as he placed the puppets at the important entrance, they would be a proper guard.

Black eagles were hovering in the sky, monitoring the cultivators who were approaching on their flying swords. They were either issuing warnings or letting Xia Ji know.

Apart from that, Xia Ji also made a strange puppet:Giant earthworm.

A total of 20 level 14 giant earthworm puppets were lying quietly underground…

In this way, a complete spatial protection system was formed to ensure that no one would disturb Xia Ji when he was working in the first area.

During his search, Xia Ji discovered something strange…

The sudden appearance of the Earth Fiend Qi had caused some effects.

demonize

However, there was an incubation period for this demonization. During this incubation period, the affected person would obtain powerful strength.

This brought about many people who saw it as an opportunity and began to chase after it crazily.

After a short period of time, the dynasty naturally reacted. However, this matter was hidden, and it was not good to expose it.

Thus, many people in the imperial court began to secretly investigate and deal with this matter.

However, no one knew what was happening in the depths of the earth. These changes caused more and more fiendish lands to form, and the speed was astonishing.

The imperial court finally realized that they could not deal with it, so they hurriedly sought help from the extraordinary sects and academies that were on good terms with the dynasty.

For a time, many Transcendents were mobilized.

But at the same time…

Xia Ji’s ” virtuous cycle of strengthening ” was also better developed.

The first step was to go to the land of spiritual energy that was nurturing the fiendish land.

The second step was to absorb spiritual energy and release the fiend demon.

The third step was to release the puppet and take away the fiend source.

The fourth step was to use the fiendish essence to create a puppet.

After that, he began a new round of investigation.

With each cycle, Xia Ji could increase his strength, strengthen his puppet army, and solve the problem of the Earth Fiend.

As for breaking through to the Dharmakaya realm, he was not in a hurry…

This match was different from the previous one. It was a prolonged battle.

In a protracted war, the most important thing was to lay a solid foundation.

If possible, he wanted to reach the All Creations level first. With 36 Elephants, he would be invincible. If he reached the All Creations level…He should be able to look forward to it.

And … He wanted to first obtain a puppet army of hundreds of thousands.

Next, he would use the fusion ability of the Dao runes of the alternate universe to fuse the golem army into his body.
