Chapter 1514 - 1076: Heading to the Ten Thousand Puppet Sect (2)

Chapter 1514: Chapter 1076: Heading to the Ten Thousand Puppet Sect (2)

As a Divine Being, one cannot kill without reason, but that does not mean that He is a good-tempered lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Jiang Yuan glanced at the Ink Jade Space; my goodness!

No wonder Sister Hai Shen is so confident; the first Immortal Soul Pill is more than halfway refined! At this speed, the side quest should be completed soon.

Since He said there was no need to worry, I wouldn’t fret unnecessarily either.

He replied to Hou Ze, asking him to be patient; he also calmed the anxious mermaids who were unaware of the details.

He clicked to enter the home decoration interface, eagerly dragged out the newly acquired Immortal Spring from the Storage Bag, inspected it several times, and finally placed it beside the pond.

Clicking confirm to save, the Immortal Spring is officially located on Conch Island!

It has a beautifully designed stone platform that exudes a sense of ancient charm; atop it is a winding, ancient tree trunk shaped into a domed structure with vibrant green sprouts. Directly below the tree trunk, on the stone platform, is a small groove filled with bright, luminescent spring water.

The system’s pop-up details show that drinking it can extend one’s lifespan by eight hundred years.

If it were before, Jiang Yuan would surely drink this Immortal Spring; but now his accumulated lifespan exceeds ten thousand years, and eight hundred is just a fraction he could earn by absorbing a few Evil Cultivators’ lifespans. He thought for a moment, clicked to collect, and the handful of spring water was stored in the Storage Bag.

Afterward, Jiang Yuan gave the first portion of Immortal Spring Water to the Celestial Path.

After all, it’s a Supreme Treasure handed down from his ancestors, stored in the Secret Realm for countless years, finally seeing the light of day.

This child is honest, didn’t sneak a sip even a little bit, agreed upon the trade and offered it in its entirety. Celestial Path, with its low Realm, naturally also has little lifespan; an increase of eight hundred years would be a significant benefit to him.

As expected, this wave of actions garnered full goodwill and a basket of gratitude.

After settling the Mermaid Race, there was nothing left to do at Conch Island. Jiang Yuan clicked to return to the main courtyard and immediately saw Yun Shu and Yun Ying, who wore worried expressions due to the temporary closure of the Floating Market.

"Sir, you’re back. The Undersea World’s shops closed abruptly; we received many orders and don’t know if business will be affected after the disturbance passes," Yun Ying said, quite worried. However, refining puppets requires careful precision and is a complex task; among hundreds of orders, which to do and which not, who might still claim their orders, remain unknown.

After all, they were all custom orders; she also feared that if too much manpower and resources were spent to refine them, the customers might perish in the turmoil and unable to pay the remaining balance, they would suffer significant losses?

Jiang Yuan glanced at the order list and said with a smile, "No need to worry. It’s likely that more than half of the ordering Sea Demons won’t appear in the Market again. No need to refine the custom puppets yet; just explain clearly once the shop can reopen to guests.

You two have some free time now; how about we take a trip to Mingqi Star’s Ten Thousand Puppet Sect?"

"Ah! Sir found the Ten Thousand Puppet Sect?!" Yun Shu exclaimed with both surprise and joy, instantly sweeping away the previous worry over the shop’s business impact. Delighted, she looked at Yun Ying and asked, "If we can find a Magical Treasure in the Ten Thousand Puppet Sect for puppets to cultivate, can we break free from the constraints of Spirit Stones and Immortal Jade?"

As a Puppet Master, Yun Ying meticulously calculated and believed the possibility to be quite high! After all, puppet bodies can harbor living souls; refining a Magical Treasure that can replace Spirit Roots to absorb and store Spiritual Energy isn’t impossible.

It could even allow puppets to ascend Realms like true cultivators!

With the professional confirmation from the Puppet Master, Yun Shu’s hand trembled with excitement, wanting nothing more than to immediately reach the Ten Thousand Puppet Sect to investigate.

"Such an existence should be at the Treasure Level of the Ten Thousand Puppet Sect," Jiang Yuan, fearing they might have overly inflated expectations, reminded them, "I have found the specific location of the Ten Thousand Puppet Sect, so let us first search for clues.

Mingqi Star has been occupied by the Demon Realm, filled with Demonic Energy everywhere, making movement inconvenient for others. So this time it will just be the three of us, traveling light, aiming to find clues and the Magical Treasure quickly!"

He thought that even if they could glimpse it from afar, the system could directly replicate the blueprint.

Then it would be no more than asking Leng Yutang, Fu Qingzhou, and Yun Ying to collaborate and try to refine it using Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. The worry, however, is if the Ten Thousand Puppet Sect had already evacuated before the Demon Realm’s invasion, its whereabouts unknown, finding it in the vast starry sea would be challenging.

No sooner said than done, Jiang Yuan took two Puppet Beauties through the Ancient Teleportation Array, directly arriving at the Observatory.

The current Observatory is far superior to its previous simplistic form; they operated it skillfully and selected teleportation to Mingqi Star.

Underfoot, the intricate Teleportation Array lit up and activated. As the wind roared around them, upon opening their eyes again, they stood on a dilapidated Teleportation Array. The surroundings were desolate, with a gentle breeze carrying yellow sand over them, leaving a layer of sand on the Teleportation Array.

"Is this the Little World invaded by the Demon Realm? It’s somewhat... terrifying." Yun Ying, having never left the Wilderness World, voluntarily discarded the painful memories from her time as a Demon Cultivator, hence only retaining the memories since surviving as a puppet body in a small courtyard.

Though she had traveled east and west with the sir and members of the small courtyard, having seen some parts of the world, facing this vast, desolate world, she was still overwhelmed.

The buildings collapsed, leaving only ruins, with approximately one-third buried in sand;

As they approached, it became evident that these buildings were originally grand pavilions, towers, and palaces. The withered trees stood with only bare trunks; the view was devoid of any greenery, and the heavens and earth merged into a gray-yellow expanse.
