Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 113 Causal Puppet

Dongfanghong's expression remained unchanged at Yi Dong's departure, but she was satisfied in her heart.

Obviously, Yi Dong was not fascinated by Ao Lingshuang.

Hearing Ao Lingshuang's apology, Dongfanghong laughed angrily.

“Leave immediately, from now on, you and I are no longer friends.

If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude."

As he spoke, Dongfanghong's natal flying sword flew into the sky, and dull thunder rumbled.

"Fellow Daoist Dongfang, calm down!"

Before Ao Lingshuang could do anything, Gu Jie released his natal flying sword.

The ancient Jindan cultivator was already able to store his natal flying sword into the sea of qi in his dantian.

Dongfanghong looked at Gu Jie.

"You have nothing to do here, leave first."

Gu Jie simply didn't listen to Dongfanghong's words.

"Fellow Daoist Dongfang, if you want to attack Fellow Daoist Ao, just kill me first."

"You really think I dare not kill you."

Although Dongfang said this, she had never killed anyone. Even when she was filled with anger, she did not take action. She just stared at Ao Lingshuang and Gu Jie fiercely.

Ao Lingshuang frowned, then said:

"Fellow Daoist Dongfang, I really have no ill intentions. Forget it."

As he said this, he shouted in the direction where Yi Dong left.
"Friend Yi, don't forget what you promised me."

After saying that, she walked out of the yard, with Gu Jie protecting her closely.

In the study, Yi Dong has begun to improve the control program of artificial intelligence.

He no longer cared about Ao Lingshuang's affairs.

No matter what she planned, Yi Dong would just stay in Zijin Mountain. What could the other party do to him?
Given the strength of the Purple Gold Mountain's formation, Yi Dong really didn't believe that the remnants of the sect wanted by the Immortal Kingdom could threaten his safety.

As for using other means of threats and inducements.

Apart from his four children, Yi Dong would care a little about them. I really can't think of anyone else who can make him care about them. How can he threaten them?

After leaving Zijin Mountain, Ao Lingshuang returned to his usual calm self.

Gu Jie kept saying something to her, but Ao Lingshuang said nothing.

“I originally wanted to control Yi Dong and slowly gain control over his five children.

Considering the long-term, the importance of these five promising immortal officials to the sect may be greater than controlling a prominent family in a state.

Now it’s difficult, Yi Dong is not affected by my magical power.”

Ao Lingshuang was thinking while flying.

Before coming to meet Yi Dong, she collected a lot of information about Yi Dong.

Since leaving the Taoist temple, Yi Dong has spent most of his time immersed in research on Zijin Mountain.

The only time he went out for a long time was to visit several intermediate Taoist temples to view their collections of books.

He is not lustful, and his only Taoist partner is Dongfanghong.

Yidong has no shortage of spiritual stones. Others may not understand the flow of funds in Zijin Mountain, but Ao Lingshuang does.

Zijin Mountain now spends nearly 100 million spirit stones every month to buy various puppet materials and formation materials.

Think of puppets.

Ao Lingshuang couldn't help but think of the cause and effect puppet he saw in the pagoda.

His own divine line could not reach those puppets at all, and his eyes could not see through them.

It is precisely because of this that she uses her spiritual sense to observe.

“Among the spirits, there seems to be no causal spirit.

Could this be the spirit body that Yi Dong developed himself?
Has his understanding reached this point?"

The rise of Zijin Mountain had long been noticed by the forces of Qingzhou.

They had also deduced Yi Dong's life trajectory millions of times.

The most important one among them is the Taichu Purple Apricot, also known as the Purple Cloud Fairy Apricot.

Originally, Taichu Zixing belonged to the Mu family, and the Mu family was given the name "Purple Air Coming from the East" because of this.

In the hands of the Mu family, that apricot tree was just an ordinary first-level spiritual plant, without any characteristics of the Purple Cloud Fairy Apricot.

However, when it came into Yi Dong's hands, it became a fifth-level spiritual plant - Purple Cloud Fairy Apricot.

Purple Cloud Fairy Apricot is not a unique existence in the Tiandu Spiritual World.

As far as Ao Lingshuang knew, many noble families in the fairyland had already begun to cultivate Purple Cloud Fairy Apricot.

In history, there were also cultivators who refined the Purple Cloud Fairy Apricot into their life-saving items, but the degree of improvement in their comprehension was obviously not as good as Yi Dong's.

Some people think that this is a problem of compatibility between Yi Dong and the Purple Cloud Fairy Apricot, and that the Purple Cloud Fairy Apricot is basically certain to have mutated, because ordinary Purple Cloud Fairy Apricots will not emit any purple energy.

But there are still some people who are unwilling to give up unless they try it themselves.

Yi Dong was just a piece of mud in the intermediate Taoist academy, but when he met Ziyun Xianxing, he immediately became a genius.

"Could it be that the Purple Cloud Fairy Apricot really improves one's comprehension that much?
It actually allowed Yi Dong to research a spiritual body that was not even recorded in the Taoist temple.

Moreover, the reason why my magical powers don’t work may also be because of the Purple Cloud Fairy Apricot.

If only I could get some information about that Purple Cloud Fairy Apricot tree."

Ao Lingshuang shook his head. There were no telling how many people wanted to study the Purple Cloud Fairy Apricot, even some of the Great Dao Golden Elixir masters in Qingzhou wanted to study it.

But that's just a thought.

As soon as Yi Dong's five children entered the upper Taoist academy, they showed great talent. Now, many people believe that it is only a matter of time before those five people become great Dao Jindan.

A great golden elixir can create a prominent family in the state.

The five great Dao Jindan may be even inferior to some of the declining ancient families.

The laws of the Immortal Kingdom are very strict, but most of the Dao Jindan are immortal officials. If they want to kill people and exterminate the clan, the law will become their weapon. If it is not necessary, no family will provoke the Yi family of Zijin Mountain.

Those noble families were able to pass down for thousands or tens of thousands of years because they would not easily make enemies with families of the same level.

This is not a time of chaos.

In times of chaos, destroying a rival family might allow one's own family to enter a new class.

However, in the fairyland, if a family is destroyed by all means, their inheritance will basically be taken over by the fairy officials.

If we are not careful and both sides suffer losses, the assets of both parties may become the official property of the fairy country.

Moreover, there is competition between local families and the meritorious families in Zhongzhou.

Many noble families do not want to see internal strife.

Under such circumstances, it is basically impossible to study the Purple Cloud Fairy Apricot of Zijin Mountain.

"No, there is someone who may know the news about Ziyun Xianxing."

Thinking of this, Ao Lingshuang stopped in the air.

Gu Jie, who was following her, also stopped.
"what happened?"

"Do you know Yi Hao?"

“Yi Hao?
Oh, I know. Yi Dong got this person into Qingzhu Taoist Academy through Instructor Kong's relationship, and then detected a spirit in him. He entered Qingzhu Taoist Academy the year we graduated.

Moreover, this person is also an important figure in the Yi family of Sanyang Mountain.

At the beginning, Yi Fan, Yi Hao, and Yi Dong all had some fame. Yi Fan and Yi Hao were famous for being admitted to the upper-level Taoist academy, and Yi Dong was famous for dropping out of the middle-level Taoist academy. At the beginning, some people in Quncheng called these three people Dragon Tiger Dog. "

"Do you know where Yi Hao is?"

“If you ask others, they may not know. Even few people in the Yi family of Sanyang Mountain know.

But my family is on good terms with Yi Jun, the person in charge of the Yi family in Sanyang Mountain, so I know some news about the Yi family.

I heard that Yi Hao and Yi Dong had become sworn enemies. Ever since Yi Dong's five children became famous in the superior Taoist temple, this man has not returned to Qingzhou.

Although Yi Hao is an immortal official, he is just a miscellaneous official, and his influence is not even as great as that of the chief of the superior Taoist academy.

He was naturally afraid that Yi Dong would use his children's connections to cause trouble for him or even directly hire someone to kill him.

Killing the immortal official will have serious consequences.

However, if the problem is characterized as a family feud, it is a completely different matter.

So Yi Hao doesn’t dare to show up in Qingzhou anymore.”

Ao Lingshuang was a little impatient.

"Just tell me where this person is."

Gu Jie wanted to talk to Ao Lingshuang for a while, but seeing this, he could only answer:
“From what I understand, he’s in Yuzhou.

Yi Fan found a second-level spiritual vein in Yuzhou and established a branch family in Yuzhou. Yi Hao is in that branch family in Yuzhou."

"Yuzhou?

Okay, let’s go to Yuzhou.”

“Fellow Daoist Ao, to be honest, Yi Hao doesn’t dare to return to Qingzhou, and he seems very cowardly.

But this person is not an ordinary Jin Xiu."

“I know that the contemporary Taoist Qiankun is naturally not an ordinary person.

We went to him to find out something.”

In Zijin Mountain, Yi Dong was looking at data in his study.

This is the operation record of the artificial spirit.

Originally, Yidong believed that artificial intelligence was like the programs in his previous life, and it would be what it was designed to be.

However, the artificial intelligence in the Dajue Puppet is able to learn on its own, and its core program keeps changing.

There is a feeling of automatic program upgrade.

Yi Dong has been trying to find out the reason, but to no avail.

"From the records, it seems that there was a logical contradiction in the running logic, and then the core program was rewritten."

Yi Dong thought that among the three major spiritual bodies in Buddhism, not to mention the Holy Lotus Body, the two bodies of Cause and Effect and Great Awakening were really extremely strange.

The changes of the Dajue Puppet will also change the artificial intelligence logic loaded into the body.

As for the Karma Arhats, the artificial intelligence is running in their bodies, but their actions seem to be not controlled by the artificial intelligence at all.

It is just like Yi Dong did not equip those causal Arhats with the function of repairing the pagoda, because Yi Dong himself did not understand the pagoda.

However, those Arhats of cause and effect naturally understood how to repair it.

Yi Dong did not provide materials to those Karma Arhats, so they repaired themselves very slowly but never stopped.

Another point is that Yi Dong originally gave the causal puppet a command to stay on a specific floor of the tower.

However, the three-headed Karma Arhat in the pagoda was not restricted by the orders at all. Not only did he run around on various floors of the tower, he could even command the Karma Vajra to act in the tower.

The various manifestations of the Karma Arhat are like those of wisdom.

The reason why Yi Dong has not destroyed the Karma Arhat yet is because these puppets are very obedient in front of him.

This kind of obedience has gone beyond the master recognition procedure designed by Yi Dong.

And Yi Dong never felt any sense of danger from the puppet.

Perhaps it was because those puppets were made by himself.

A puppet is one who listens to you.

As for whether this causal puppet that seems to have its own consciousness will rebel in the future, Yi Dong doesn't care much.

He set up many formations inside the pagoda, and the self-destruction device in the puppet was also running. Even if the Arhats of Karma rebelled and the self-destruction device could not be activated, they would not be able to threaten him by driving the ruined pagoda.

Besides, the transaction between himself and the Lijiang demon tribe was already dangerous, and Yi Dong could accept a little more danger.

From the beginning to the end, Yi Dong never considered the pagoda as the only option to save his life.
