Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 893 Puppet Clan
Ning Fa's pupils constricted sharply, and a storm raged in his heart.

He knew about this Mitian Valley; it was the place where those experts from the Spirit Realm and those mysterious races had their final battle, and it was also the place where the Xuan Tian spiritual treasure was suspected to be hidden.

In the end, Ancestor Jue Lei made a desperate gamble and went to Mitian Valley in an attempt to obtain the Xuan Tian Ling Bao in order to ascend to the upper realm.

Unexpectedly, the powerful Nine Immortals Society also set their sights on this place and even sent Baili Ming there.

Lost in his memories, the young man in black did not notice Ning Fa's strange behavior and continued, "Although Mitian Valley is not well known in the cultivation world, it is no exaggeration to say that it is the most dangerous place in the entire human realm."

At the time, I didn't know where this place was, but I had no other choice.

Because it was a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Nine Immortals Society who contacted me directly; this person was named Old Monster Tiansheng.

Although my strength at that time had reached the level of a top-tier cultivator, and I could even hold my own against ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

However, that old monster Tian Sheng was no ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator. Without any doubt, I was subdued and placed under a restriction, thus imprisoning myself.

Furthermore, the old monster Tiansheng threatened me with my family background, forcing me to go to Mitian Valley.

The reason they acted this way was not because they valued my abilities.

After all, the Nine Immortals Society has no shortage of top-tier cultivators; the reason they value me is precisely because of my Heavenly Puppet.

At this point, a bitter look flashed in the young man's eyes as he continued.

"Old Monster Tiansheng also told me the reason. It turns out that Mitian Valley was actually an ancient battlefield."

Many top experts once fought here, most of whom were masters from the Spirit Realm, including some Void Refinement experts.

This also caused the spiritual energy within the Mitian Valley to become exceptionally violent, filled with spatial turbulence and spatial storms.

Let alone Nascent Soul cultivators, even Deity Transformation cultivators would find it extremely difficult to delve into it.

The Nine Immortals Society had long coveted Mitian Valley and had never given up on it.

They later learned that some extremely special experts from the spirit world had participated in the great battle.

They come from a very special race in the spirit world, called the [Puppet Spirit Race].

The members of this race are all puppets who have developed sentience for various reasons, and the Heavenly Puppet is the core member of the Puppet Spirit Clan.

During their multiple entries into the Mitian Valley, the Nine Immortals obtained the remains of a member of the Puppet Spirit Clan.

According to the Nine Immortals Society's deduction, the true form of that puppet spirit clan member should be deep within the Mitian Valley.

This could potentially allow us to locate the original body through the special connection between the remnant limbs of the celestial puppet and its original form, which is very likely to be the depths of the Mitian Valley.

But that's secondary. The key point is that the remains of the Heavenly Puppet have existed in Mitian Valley for a long time and have been assimilated by the special spiritual energy of Mitian Valley.

Therefore, it is possible to use this route to cross some extremely dangerous areas and reach the inner valley of Mitian Valley.

However, simply carrying this remnant of the Heavenly Puppet is not enough to enter the inner valley.

After several setbacks, the Nine Immortals deduced that they needed a complete Heavenly Puppet. Only after absorbing the remnants of this Divine Transformation Heavenly Puppet could they possibly pass through those terrifying restrictions and enter the inner valley of Mitian Valley.

Therefore, the Nine Immortals Society naturally attached great importance to this, regarding it as their greatest hope, and wanted to obtain the complete Heavenly Puppet.

Later, they also learned that the Heavenly Puppet Scripture of the Blood Heaven Sect was actually passed down from the Puppet Spirit Clan in the Spirit Realm.

The powerful Blood Heaven Sect, a Nascent Soul sect, was actually secretly wiped out by the Nine Immortals Society for this very reason.

Therefore, they also obtained the Heavenly Puppet Scripture and some Heavenly Puppets.

However, these celestial puppets were only at the third rank at most. The Nine Immortals discovered that the third-rank celestial puppets could not absorb the remnants of the Nascent Soul celestial puppet at all. They speculated that it had to be at least the fourth rank, or even the mid-to-late stage of the fourth rank celestial puppets.

However, it is extremely difficult for a Heavenly Puppet to advance to the fourth tier; it's not enough to just have resources.

Even with the Nine Immortals Society's formidable strength and countless precious spiritual materials, and after spending ten thousand years, they still couldn't advance their Heavenly Puppets to the fourth rank.

That's when I came into their view, especially after my Heavenly Puppet advanced to the fourth tier, which attracted their high attention.

But at that time they did not act rashly, but observed me in secret, and even provided me with many conveniences.

It was then that I realized that the reason why I had such a smooth journey after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, and was always able to obtain rare resources quickly, was because the Nine Immortals Association was behind it all!

The purpose is to help me grow up as quickly as possible, cultivate the Heavenly Puppet to a higher level, and increase my chances of success.

Later, after I became a top-tier cultivator, the next step was likely to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

They finally made their move, lest I truly advance to the Nascent Soul stage and become uncontrollable.

At this point, the young man in black had a bitter expression on his face.

Ning Fa also frowned as he listened, once again feeling the terror of the Nine Immortals Gathering.

The young man in black took a deep breath and continued, "At this time, my Heavenly Puppet was only at the mid-stage of the fourth rank, which was still far from the late-stage of the fourth rank that they had expected."

However, the Nine Immortals Society couldn't wait any longer. They forced my Heavenly Puppet to absorb the remnants of the Nascent Soul Heavenly Puppet, and then forced me into the Mitian Valley. Ning Fa listened intently, eager to know what this person's experience was like in the Mitian Valley.

At this moment, the young man in black also showed a look of recollection and lingering fear in his eyes, and slowly said:

"That Mitian Valley was indeed extremely dangerous, but with my strength at the time, the many defensive treasures given by the Nine Immortals Society, and the routes they had already explored, I was able to overcome the dangers."

I successfully approached the inner valley of Mitian Valley, and with the help of the Heavenly Puppet, I broke through several layers of restrictions within the inner valley, truly entering it, and then…”

At this point, the young man in black suddenly stopped.

His brows were furrowed tightly, as if he still found it hard to understand what had happened after entering the inner valley.

At this point, Ning Fa's curiosity had been completely piqued, and he immediately asked, "And then?"

The young man in black was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "And then I don't know anymore. After that, I inexplicably appeared in another area outside the Mitian Valley, and I have no memory of what happened after entering the Mitian Valley."

Ning Fa was taken aback upon hearing this, and then he understood why the young man in black had that expression just now.

Then he continued, "When I came out, I was also very shocked by this, but I was under a restriction and had to continue to the inner valley."

But then I was very fortunate to discover the corpse of a Nascent Soul cultivator, and found an extremely precious Heavenly Mystic Pill on his body.

You should be familiar with the name of this pill. It is not only a rare breakthrough pill, but also known as the purification pill, which can dissolve various restrictions in a cultivator's body.

I was overjoyed to see this pill and immediately took it.

After the restrictions on my body were broken, I naturally refused to go to the extremely dangerous inner valley of Mitian Valley again.

Later, by sheer luck, they found another exit and escaped directly from Mitian Valley.

At first, the Nine Immortals Society did indeed believe that I had died in Mitian Valley, so I took this opportunity to escape Tianwu Continent and came to Jiulong Sea.

But to my surprise, decades later, the Nine Immortals somehow learned that I was still alive.

In order to find me, they slaughtered my entire clan, using an extremely bloody bloodline tracing technique, which ultimately led them to my location.

At this point, the young man in black could no longer control himself. His hands were clenched tightly, his face contorted with rage, and his eyes were filled with deep-seated hatred.

After a long while, he took a deep breath, his expression gradually calming down, and continued, "At that time, I also had a premonition, and I knew that I could not escape the great calamity, so I made a decision."

I used a special secret technique to integrate most of my spiritual power into this celestial puppet.

I deliberately provoked the experts from the Taichu Sect and the Wugou Sword Sect to surround and kill me. In the end, in full view of everyone, my physical body and nascent soul both self-destructed, creating the appearance of my demise.

Even if the Nine Immortals have doubts, my physical body is destroyed, and they cannot find me using that bloodline tracing technique.

Then I arrived at Golden Pool Island, which I had chosen long ago and which is surrounded by this area of ​​Northern Magnetic Yuan Light. What you see now is me after my spirit and the Heavenly Puppet have merged.

Ning Fa couldn't help but show a look of shock. He looked Baili Ming over again and frowned, saying, "How is this possible! You haven't even advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. How could you have survived for over 3000 years with just your soul essence?"

Baili Ming said calmly, "Because I am no longer the real me, but rather a puppet spirit formed by the fusion of my original consciousness with that of the Heavenly Puppet."

As a member of the Puppet Spirit race, the lifespan of the Heavenly Puppet is much longer than that of ordinary humans.

Later, I secluded myself in this remote place to cultivate and perfect the special cultivation technique I had comprehended. Eventually, I successfully cultivated to the late Nascent Soul stage.

During this process, the remnant limb of the Nascent Soul Heavenly Puppet that my Heavenly Puppet had previously absorbed also played a significant role.

However, when I later planned to break through to the Nascent Soul realm in one go, an unexpected change occurred.

I never expected that within the remains of that Nascent Soul Puppet, there was still a trace of his remnant soul, which also awakened thanks to my breakthrough.

He intended to remain hidden, but I discovered him, and we began to struggle for control of our bodies.

In the end, I prevailed and destroyed that wisp of remnant soul. But at that time, I didn't know that the wisp of remnant soul had already secretly harmed my soul.

When I later broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, the hidden hand under the remnant soul of that Heavenly Puppet erupted.

Not only did it cause my attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage to fail, it also caused the hidden danger of my previously split soul merging into the Heavenly Puppet to erupt.

This directly led to a part of my soul splitting off and forming an independent consciousness.

I fought this divided soul for another hundred years, and although I finally won, it still managed to escape.

Not long after, I sensed that the fragment of the soul had completely perished, so I felt relieved and didn't want to leave.

But unexpectedly, this place was still leaked, clearly because of that wisp of soul. Later, you guys came running after hearing about it.

After saying that, Baili Ming also sighed deeply, a look of desolation in his eyes.

It could be said that he was extremely unlucky. If it weren't for the remnants of the Divine Transformation Puppet's limbs and soul hidden within it, he might have already successfully advanced to the Divine Transformation realm by using this puppet's body.
