Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 357 The Perfect Puppet

Dahua Peak, Bai Mei Dao Temple.

The White-browed True Lord's temple was originally located on the mountaintop. In order to show the grandeur of the master of the Dharma propagation temple, his temple was built in a magnificent and imposing manner, inspiring awe in people at first glance.

However, ever since Zhou Qing handed the Meat Fungus to him, Bai Mei has valued these two little guys more than his own life, and specially opened up a new training ground at the foot of the mountain, full of natural charm, suitable for the growth of spiritual creatures like the Meat Fungus.

That day, he was reading some basic scriptures to the two little ones, hoping they could at least gain some knowledge and awaken their spirituality sooner.

Around noon, he saw a sword light descend from mid-air. The light faded, revealing the figures of Saintess Xianglian and Zhou Qing.

Upon seeing Zhou Qing, the two meat-eating creatures, one man and one horse, seemed to have encountered their natural enemy and hurriedly scurried into a cave on the cliff behind Bai Mei's thatched hut.

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "These two little things run away as soon as they see me."

Bai Mei smiled and said, "The spirit of the flesh fungus has not yet been awakened, and it only has some basic reactions. You captured them yourself and left them with dangerous signals, so naturally they avoided them."

"Once their spirituality awakens and they understand the principles, they will naturally know to respect you, young friend."

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "That won't be necessary. I'd rather not take their flesh and blood for medicine in the future."

Bai Mei smiled and said, "Is there any progress in your plan, young friend?"

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "We have made great progress and are just about to have Fellow Daoist Bai Mei examine it."

White Eyebrows said, "Fellow Daoist, please demonstrate."

Zhou Qing stretched out his arms, but remained motionless for a long time.

"Fellow?"

White Eyebrows said.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I'm already demonstrating."

Ok?
Bai Mei was taken aback, then immediately realized what was happening.

He circled Zhou Qing twice in surprise, clicking his tongue in amazement, and said, "Young friend, your true form really hasn't arrived here?"

"I didn't feel anything unusual at all. It was exactly the same as you, young friend. How did you manage to do that?"

Zhou Qing said, "It was just a clever trick."

The biggest challenge in using a puppet to deceive a Nascent Soul cultivator is the inability to replicate an identical personal aura.

Zhou Qing racked his brains for a long time but still couldn't solve the problem. Finally, he thought, why bother with forgery? Wouldn't it be enough if the person actually showed up?

He then had the weapon refiner create another body, but with the internal organs removed, and equipped it with a positioning array.

In this way, he can place the opening of the Dao Heart World there.

His true form was at this end of the Dao Heart World, but his aura was directly leaked into his physical puppet body.

Because it is one's own aura, it naturally will not be detected as unusual.

This was a clever trick; it didn't truly overcome the difficulties, but it was enough to deal with the current situation.

After Bai Mei's verification, Zhou Qing's confidence soared, and he immediately decided to set off for Zhongzhou to see what methods the Four Great Dao Palaces had that gave them the confidence to restrict his escape light.

Zhou Qing immediately summoned Chen Xiao and explained his intention to go to Zhongzhou.

Chen Xiao was overjoyed and said, "The True Lord disregards past grievances and is willing to guide everyone back. This kindness is as thick as the earth."

"If the True Lord ever needs our help, we will surely repay him with our lives."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "We are all from the same lineage in the Western Continent, so why be so polite? If there's nothing else, how about we set off now?"

Chen Xiao said, "The sooner the better!" So Zhou Qing set off for Zhongzhou with Chen Xiao that very day.

Chen Xiao's cultivation level is only at the third level of Foundation Establishment. Zhou Qing then proceeded towards the Central Continent at the same speed, taking the opportunity to inquire about the situation in the Central Continent from him.

To deal with Zhou Qing's questioning, Chen Xiao received special training before setting off, including various responses and how to protect his primordial spirit to avoid being probed by similar truth-seeking arrays.

However, to avoid revealing any flaws, his words could not be entirely false.

Purely fabricated lies will inevitably have inconsistencies and are easily detected.

Therefore, Chen Xiao's response was only false at the crucial points.

This allowed Zhou Qing to uncover a lot of interesting information.

For example, the seven major temples in Zhongzhou gradually developed resentment towards the four major palaces.

Back then, the four major Dao Palaces collected all the high-quality spiritual herbs in the Central Continent and put them under their control. They promised the seven major Dao Fields that they would distribute the Golden Core Pills to them according to their quotas so that their Golden Core cultivators could break through to the next level.

However, the four major Dao Palaces themselves have many pills for Golden Core cultivators waiting to break through, so they naturally prioritize their own people. Therefore, when it comes to distributing them to the seven major Dao Palaces, either the share is reduced or the quality deteriorates.

The seven major sects dared not speak out against their anger, but they could not help but harbor resentment in secret.

Zhou Qing asked, "How do the four major Dao Palaces distribute the pills to the seven major Dao Fields?"

Chen Xiao said, "It is said that at the end of each year, the leaders of the seven major Daoist temples will go to the Daoist Palace and each temple will receive ten pills."

The end of the year... which means there are still two or three months left.

Zhou Qing then made a plan.

The two continued chatting as they traveled, but Zhou Qing deliberately slowed down, occasionally stopping for ten days or half a month to cultivate, citing some enlightenment he had gained.

Chen Xiao was anxious, but dared not urge them.

On one hand, they feared Zhou Qing's infamous reputation, and on the other hand, they worried that urging him too much would arouse Zhou Qing's suspicion.

If Zhou Qing becomes suspicious and turns back, he and the entire Chongshui Sect will suffer the same fate as the Huanqing Sect and the Chihuo Sect, and be sent to the Demon Abyss.

This time, the four major Daoist palaces set a trap to lure Zhou Qing to his death. Naturally, the initial choice was not him, but sects like the Illusionary Love Sect and the Crimson Fire Sect, which were on good terms with the Azure Cloud Sect.

These two sects initially thought that the war would soon spread to the Western Continent, so in order to preserve their sects, they moved to the Central Continent, which can be considered as betraying Zhou Qing.

But it's another matter if they actively lure Zhou Qing to his death.

Unable to persuade the two sects, the Purple Cloud Ancestor of Qingxu Dao Palace angrily banished them all to the Demon Abyss. Now, half a year later, there are probably no survivors.

Only then did they set their sights on Chen Xiao, promising that if he could indeed lure Zhou Qing to a specific location, they would not only pardon the entire Chongshui Sect, but also bring the Chongshui Sect under the control of the Four Great Dao Palaces, thus freeing them from their precarious existence.

That's why Chen Xiao resolutely accepted the task.

Since Zhou Qing refused to travel quickly, Chen Xiao had no choice but to fly slowly with him.

It took the two of them nearly two months to reach Liangjie Mountain.

Zhou Qing said, "I'm afraid that when you break through the barrier, the guards will notice. Although I'm not afraid of them, once they become alert, it will be much more difficult for you to break through to the Western Continent in the future."

Chen Xiao hurriedly said, "True Lord, do not worry, we have already taken care of this."

"Nothing in this world is immortal, and the barrier between these two worlds will naturally be damaged."

"This barrier is generated by runes. Once the runes wear down, some loopholes will appear."

"Over the years, our people have gradually discovered a few loopholes. I managed to slip out through one of them and avoid being detected by the guards."
