#73 - Chapter 73 Stone Puppet
As the stone golem's head exploded, Wu Yuankui was meditating with his eyes closed.
This was a stone cave, carved into a cliff face. The cave was only about two zhang in size, long and narrow, and very cramped.
When Wu Yuankui was brought here, he was quite surprised to see the cliff face covered with dense stone caves, unsure why so many prison caves were carved. After being locked inside, he realized that these stone caves were used to temper disciples.
Strong winds, cold air, heat waves, and yin energy would occasionally sweep through the stone caves, which was very beneficial for disciples to temper their minds and refine their magic power. Therefore, he simply accepted his situation and cultivated quietly, ignoring everything else.
When the stone golem guarding him broke down, he forcibly broke the iron door of the cave and flew out.
At the same time, Wen Jinghe of the Hou Tu Sect also escaped from his stone cave, and the two ran into each other.
Wu Yuankui immediately recognized that this person was not a cultivator from the Heavenly Devil Abyss, and instantly guessed that he was from the Hou Tu Sect. He didn't bother with pleasantries and slashed at him with his sword.
Wen Jinghe was also quite capable. At the critical moment, he summoned a cyan light shield, which blocked most of the force. He withstood the blow and used the momentum to dive down into the earth, using his earth遁 technique to escape.
However, since he was seriously injured, he only managed to dive thirty or forty zhang deep. Wu Yuankui could still sense his movements from the surface. Thinking that this person was a direct descendant of the Hou Tu Sect and might know some secrets, he followed him all the way.
Meanwhile, in the stone forest, Zhang Yuanjing let out a low "Ugh…" and woke up from a long series of nightmares, his head splitting with pain. Although he had been protected by that invisible force, his soul had still suffered some shocks.
He tried hard to recall for a long time before he remembered that there seemed to be two soul forces fighting outside his sea of consciousness. In the end, a black shadow won. But where was it?
Zhang Yuanjing jumped up in fright, then fell to the ground due to dizziness. He勉力 gathered a bit of magic power, supporting himself to sit cross-legged and meditate, examining his meridians and dantian internally, and his divine sense patrolled his sea of consciousness, but he found no suspicious signs. His soul was still his own, and he had not been seized. But where exactly was that black shadow hiding!
Before the great battle with "Old Yan's" soul, it must have been hiding on him, it couldn't have appeared out of nowhere. After the great battle, where else could it go besides possessing him?
He turned his head to look at the huge stone golem beside him. It stood still, its originally perfectly sculpted face turned into a blank slate. It was no longer controlled by a pseudo-soul. Could that black shadow be hiding on it?
He scanned it with his divine sense, but found no soul fluctuations. Moreover, the stone golem was motionless and didn't seem to be controlled by a pseudo-soul or remnant soul.
At this time, he saw the Yuan Ying stone golem whose head had been blown off, and couldn't help but be surprised again. Who destroyed it with a single blow? Could it be a great cultivator in the late stage of Yuan Ying?
Zhang Yuanjing sat on the spot, suspiciously thinking for a long time, but ultimately gained nothing. Fortunately, his soul was not injured. After this period of rest, he was able to walk and fly normally. He didn't want to stay in this strange place any longer, and summoned his flying sword to leave.
Suddenly, his gaze fell on the tall body of the huge stone golem. He thought that the stone golem had lost "Old Yan's" soul and had not been possessed by that strange black shadow. It was now a dead object. Could the true inheritance token control it?
This idea made him extremely excited. He immediately recited the true inheritance token incantation, and a团 of golden light escaped from his middle dantian, turning into a fist-sized, glittering stone core.
"Go!" Zhang Yuanjing pointed at the chest of the huge stone golem, using his mind to drive the stone core. The stone core only shook slightly before disappearing.
In the next moment, he "saw" that in the left chest of the stone golem, there was a complex formation arranged inside, and the stone core was in the center of the formation. The formation was triangular, with three brilliant spirit stones as the base, constantly supplying spiritual power.
"This is… high-grade spirit stones!" Zhang Yuanjing was speechless.
This was the first time in his life that he had seen high-grade spirit stones.
He had fifty middle-grade spirit stones given by Ling Zhijian of the Heavenly Devil Abyss in his storage bag, which was considered a not small fortune, but it was far from comparable to a high-grade spirit stone.
In the cultivation world, one middle-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for one hundred low-grade spirit stones, but several hundred middle-grade spirit stones may not be able to be exchanged for one high-grade spirit stone. High-grade spirit stones are too rare and have irreplaceable uses in formations, refining tools,傀儡术, and other aspects, so they are often priceless.
However, the outer circle of these three high-grade spirit stones in the chest of the huge stone golem had already turned dark gray, obviously损耗大半 and could not be used for long.
Zhang Yuanjing used his mind to sense the stone core. The stone core moved lively, obviously not losing contact with him because it had entered the formation in the stone golem's chest. He felt certain in his heart, and then sent a thought, "Extend your right fist!"
Sure enough, the stone golem immediately followed his instructions and punched out its right fist. The stone golem's posture was still the same as before, bending over and lowering its head to touch heads with Zhang Yuanjing. When this fist was punched out, it hit the headless Yuan Ying stone golem in front of it, smashing it into pieces and scattering it all over the ground.
Before Zhang Yuanjing could be happy, he felt a抽搐 in his soul, and his head felt like it was being pricked with needles. He couldn't help but shout and fell to the ground, clutching his head. After a dozen breaths, he finally recovered, his mind was blank, and his face was as pale as snow.
"Directly controlling the stone golem consumes soul power!" Zhang Yuanjing lay on the ground, bitterly smiling.
But thinking about it, it made sense. Normal puppet stone golems have formations built in their heads, integrated with pseudo-souls made of lonely souls and remnant souls. When controlling them, you only need to give instructions to the pseudo-soul, and let it mobilize spiritual power and complete the actions.
Now that there was no pseudo-soul, he could only use his own soul power, but his cultivation was too low. Just letting the stone golem throw a punch was an unbearable consumption.
Watching a stone golem with at least Yuan Ying strength, but unable to use it, Zhang Yuanjing was naturally depressed. Moreover, such a large stone golem could not be put into a storage bag. If he abandoned it, it would be a pity.
In the end, Zhang Yuanjing had to use a stupid method. He flew up and sat on the stone golem's shoulder, and then controlled the stone golem to step forward. Just walking consumed very little soul power, and the intensity was low, without the danger of instantaneous overdraft, so he could sustain it.
The direction of travel was the other side of the mountain. Below the mountain wall where the stone golem cave mansion was located, there was a teleportation array. Zhang Yuanjing wanted to use the true inheritance token to identify the teleportation array and see where it could teleport him to.
Because he couldn't fly, he could only let the stone golem walk around the foot of the mountain. The straight-line distance of only a dozen miles became more than a hundred miles. Fortunately, the stone golem was tall and had long legs, and walked very quickly. It only took more than an hour to reach the stone platform. And Zhang Yuanjing's soul power had been consumed by more than half.
He first communicated with the stone core with his mind, and took it back into his middle dantian, transforming it back into a团 of golden light, and then transformed it into the shape of a formation flag, guiding it out of his body.
As soon as the golden formation flag appeared above the teleportation array, a golden light shot out and entered the bottom of the great array, connecting the array base.
Subsequently, a message was fed back to Zhang Yuanjing's mind: You have activated the stone golem cave mansion teleportation array, you can teleport to the Hou Tu Hall Cheng Yuan Hall teleportation array, do you want to teleport now?
"Teleport!"
With a flash of white light, Zhang Yuanjing and the stone golem disappeared. After a breath, they appeared in the underground cave.
At this time, the golden formation flag also arrived in the Cheng Yuan Hall teleportation array. As soon as it showed its body, it connected with this array. Immediately, another message was fed back to Zhang Yuanjing: You have activated the Hou Tu Hall Cheng Yuan Hall teleportation array, you can teleport to the stone golem cave mansion teleportation array, the Spirit Beast Garden teleportation array, the Immortal Plant Nursery teleportation array, the 御风楼 teleportation array, the Flying Sky Pavilion teleportation array (activation is required to open teleportation), do you want to teleport now (default 御风楼 teleportation array)?
"Do not teleport!"
Zhang Yuanjing shook his dizzy head, walked out of the teleportation array, sat cross-legged, and began to调息. After about half a day, he felt that his soul had recovered almost, and then he got up.
The stone golem was still standing in the teleportation array.
He once again幻化 the stone core,导入 it into the stone golem's body, still riding on its shoulder, and commanded it to step forward.
Walking out of the passage, the mess in the main hall made Zhang Yuanjing愣. Especially the twenty-odd headless stone golems at the south side hall entrance, made him realize that the stone golems' heads exploding was related to the "Old Yan's" remnant soul being swallowed.
Perhaps, he used some kind of soul control technique to control the pseudo-souls of all the stone golems. Once his remnant soul dissipated, the pseudo-souls he controlled would also explode at the same time.
"The two stone golems guarding Martial Brother Wu should also be broken. I wonder where Martial Brother has gone?" Zhang Yuanjing thought with some worry.
He walked towards the purple jade gate on the north side of the main hall while thinking. At this time, he also found that the stone shelves placed against the north wall were still intact, and the hundreds of various spiritual weapons placed on them were untouched, and the restrictions were still flashing微光.
These things, whether it was Ling Xiao and other Heavenly Devil Abyss cultivators, or Wen Songnan and other Hou Tu Sect cultivators, were unwilling to waste time to take them, but they were cheap for Zhang Yuanjing, this Foundation Establishment cultivator.
He looked at the top row of more than twenty spiritual weapons with the strongest restrictions, guessing that they were the best quality ones, and chose a flying sword that gleamed with blue light, controlling the stone golem to reach out and take it.
The restriction made a crackling sound, and powerful energy was constantly hitting the stone golem's palm and arm, but the stone golem was not affected at all. The hand that reached out did not have the slightest hesitation, and硬生生 broke through the restriction's counterattack, grabbed the flying sword, and then缩手, took it back completely intact.
Zhang Yuanjing took it over and looked at it, and it was indeed a high-grade spiritual weapon. He sent in his magic power, and the flying sword trembled slightly, the blue light was like芒, capturing the heart, showing that the internal structure and restrictions were normal, and had not become dull due to long-term storage.
Subsequently, he did the same, and took down all of the twenty-odd spiritual weapons, three of which were top-grade, and the remaining twenty-one were high-grade.
He had no intention of摘取 the remaining spiritual weapons one by one, and quickly walked to the purple jade gate. The Hou Tu power in his dantian was indeed active again, like嗷嗷待哺的小鸟, chirping non-stop.
Zhang Yuanjing again changed the stone core into a token, and卡进 the凹槽 with the words "Token" written on it, and then pressed his palm on the凹槽 marked as "Cultivation Method", and输入 Hou Tu power.
This time, he didn't need to耍无赖 like last time, just barely sent all the magic power in his body into it, and the purple jade gate made a crisp and pleasant叮叮 sound, and then slowly opened, and a Zhu Zi long corridor extended at his feet, with carved beams and painted buildings,彩绘绮丽, the sides were courtyards paved with bluestone, planted with green trees and red flowers,错落有致, at the end of the long corridor was a hall built of golden巨石, with a plaque with green background and red characters, with the three characters "True Inheritance Hall" written on it.
