Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 378: Let’s ignore it for a while and catch them off guard tomorrow!
"Hmph! But after a short delay, the people from the Demon Feeding Valley arrived. It seems that the Demonic Path is really taking the so-called wanted order seriously..."

Li Ye recalled what had just happened and frowned slightly.

Although it was indeed Cangshanzi who suddenly appeared and disrupted his last attempt to seize the soul.

But in terms of time, the time it took for him and the old man to confront each other and fight was probably less than a quarter of an hour. Even if the time it took to break through the mountain gate formation of the Jindan small sect was included, it would not be much longer.

In this way, even if we count from the time he started to break the formation, it would actually not be more than two quarters of an hour.

Considering the distance between the sect and the Demon Feeding Valley, it would be impossible to arrive in such a short time under normal circumstances!
Unless it is such a coincidence that not only Cangshanzi passed by, but the Nascent Soul of the Demon Feeding Valley also happened to be nearby... but there is no such coincidence in the world!
During this great war between good and evil, do you really think that these Nascent Souls do not need to go to the battle or stay behind to guard the sect?
The only possibility is that the other party has been lingering in his own territory and waiting for an opportunity based on the pattern of his previous actions!
"Before even reaching the Nascent Soul stage, I've already become a member of the wanted list of these demonic Nascent Soul sects. There are even Nascent Soul elders who are willing to personally wait for me... Tsk! Why do I feel a little honored!"

Touching his chin, Li Ye's brows relaxed and a smile appeared on his face.

Even though he was being targeted by a major demon sect because of his efforts to accumulate spiritual veins, it was not a big problem for him.

Not to mention that this appearance was only used temporarily, and he had never used it in front of anyone else except those victims. He would just change his appearance when doing something else.

With his ability to change his body shape at the fourth stage of body refining, and the Wood God Cauldron to suppress his own aura, he can also make some changes in the methods used by his natal puppet.

Unless someone can use his blood or residual soul to perform a secret tracking technique, it would be extremely difficult to identify him based on his external appearance.

Li Ye had never shed any blood or soul. Even the mark left on his body by the messenger of Yanshen Sect had been sealed by Li Ye long ago and could not be sensed at all. So there was no need to worry about this.

Also, the natal puppet may not be very strong in terms of combat power, but after initially bringing into play the characteristics of the void wooden skeleton, its void power is still magical in terms of running away.

Combined with Li Ye's attainments in formations, talismans, etc., he has a good chance of escaping even if he is surrounded.

But this worst-case scenario, at this time, is unlikely to happen as he is only trying to break the spiritual veins of some Jindan sects.

What's more, Li Ye doesn't only have his natal puppet as a fourth-level combat force. If he really faces a strong enemy, he doesn't have to worry about hiding his identity. His Wood God Cauldron and the Great Yin-Yang Green Wood Divine Thunder are also not to be trifled with!

With two inheritances from the Huashen sect, he has no less than those Nascent Soul cultivators from the big sects!

Even when all the hundreds of arts he mastered were upgraded to the fourth level, he could respond in many more ways than ordinary cultivators.

Even though he is still in the Perfect Golden Core stage, if he really fights, as long as those who send out are not in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage or above, those Nascent Soul stage of the big sects may not be able to suppress him!
Li Ye naturally felt at peace.

As for the combat power of his natal puppet, Li Ye had a more detailed understanding after the battle with Cangshanzi.

In actual combat, he is roughly on par with an early Nascent Soul cultivator who has few means. If he can exercise some restraint in his actions, he can gain the upper hand.

Once they face those Nascent Soul Sects, which have no shortage of magical skills and secret techniques, as well as handy magic weapons, they may be inferior.

Of course, this is perfectly normal. Just the puppet itself being able to achieve this level of performance is already quite extraordinary. This is a unique puppet that cultivates both body and soul, and is completely integrated with the Tiangong Sutra. If every puppet could achieve this level, I'm afraid the Tiangong Palace would have dominated the mortal world long ago!
However, Li Ye's natal puppet has just been promoted to the fourth level. Strictly speaking, in addition to constantly practicing and refining the Tiangong Sutra to advance to higher levels, there is still considerable room for improvement.

According to the improvement ideas in the Tiangong Sutra, it is not that difficult to improve its combat power.

The mechanical components it possesses are of paramount importance.

For example, the abilities of the current natal puppet basically come from the Void Wood Skeleton and the fourth-level gauntlets and boxing gloves.

The Void Wood Skeleton is the foundation of his current Wood Element and Void Magical Powers, while the Gauntlets and Boxing Gloves give him the ability to perform the domineering Big Handprint, which is naturally stronger than simply increasing his combat power.

As long as Li Ye can refine more fourth-level magic weapon components, he will naturally be able to improve the combat power of his natal puppet to a higher level.

For now, Li Ye plans to search for the four elements of gold, water, earth and fire, and the fourth-level spiritual objects to make up for the five elements changes of his natal puppet.

Otherwise, only the Wood Element method is truly useful, but that would be too close to his true nature and not stable enough.

Fortunately, he had seized spiritual veins along the way and found quite a few good things in the treasure houses of those Jindan sects, and he had also collected some fourth-level spiritual objects.

Three of the four lines have been collected, so even if he goes to the auction to purchase them with the identity of a Nascent Soul, he can complete his plan!
"It just so happens that the various sects of the Demonic Path are quite sensitive right now, and are eager to take me down. Even if I act in the opposite direction, I'm afraid there's a certain possibility that I'll be confronted head-on, forcing a fight..."

Li Ye chuckled, "Why not ignore them for a while and go find a fourth-level spiritual object to upgrade my natal puppet to a higher level first!"

Once the battle between good and evil begins, it will be difficult to give up easily unless one side suffers heavy losses.

It's not just about interests, but also about the blood feuds accumulated over the years. When it breaks out, some of them must be settled before the matter can be resolved.

The demons can temporarily focus on searching for this troublemaker in their own territory, but if they distract themselves from him, won't this give the righteous sects a chance to launch a fierce attack?

Having suffered losses on other battlefields and Li Ye not showing up for a long time, any more precautions would be a waste of energy.

By then, they should put aside this insignificant figure and put their energy back into the real conflict.

"Hmm... and now the war is getting more intense. Both the righteous and evil nations have penetrated into each other's heartland. More and more sects are mobilizing forces to rush to the front lines to respond..."

"Perhaps due to my previous disruption, many of the Jindan Demon Sect members who hadn't been affected chose to remain on the defensive, preparing for an attack..."

"But if this continues, they will be driven to the battlefield by the Yuanying Sect... Then we can pick someone who is not valued by the Yuanying Sect and complete the final soul-stealing!"

Considering this, it is a prudent move to minimize the risk.
