In the game "Covering the Sky," I can create nine kinds of immortal gold.

Chapter 136 Puppet Doppelganger

The Human World Elixir is a precious elixir formed after the body of the Celestial Master Yuan was nourished by the Qinling Dragon Vein for tens of thousands of years after his death.

It possesses the miraculous effect of prolonging life. Although it cannot compare to the elixir of immortality, it can easily add hundreds or thousands of years to the lifespan of these powerful immortals.

It might even help them break through their bottlenecks, achieve success in slaying the Dao, and become the king of the three immortal realms.

Although the Azure Emperor's Great Dao has not completely dissipated, the suppression of the Great Dao only increases the difficulty of severing the Dao, rather than completely cutting it off.

With enough strength, talent, and a bit of fortuitous encounter, it's still possible to successfully break through the Dao.

Old Madman, Wei Yi, and Jiang Taixu are examples. These three not only severed their Dao under the suppression of the Azure Emperor's Great Dao, but also became Saints or even Great Saints.

This doesn't even include Gai Jiuyou, who directly achieved the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor under the suppression of the Azure Emperor's Great Dao, and even made the ultimate leap.

Unfortunately, the Great Dao suppressed him too much. Although Gai Jiuyou had a high foundation, it was not as good as Ye Fan in later generations. Therefore, he ultimately failed and was injured by the Great Dao. He has been half-dead and sickly ever since.

In other words, Gai Jiuyou's final strength was almost an alternative path to enlightenment, which is why he was able to fight to the death of a Dark Supreme with the help of immortal fire during the Dark Turmoil.

If one is merely at the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, then one is simply no match for the Dark Supreme, even with Immortal Flame.

In short, the suppression of the Great Dao is like a touchstone. Successfully breaking through the Dao under its suppression means that one has the potential to become an emperor.

As for those who cannot break through the suppression of the Great Dao, they should just give up and go to sleep. They don't even have the qualifications to step onto the path to becoming an emperor.

"Ye Fan and I are both considered to be descendants of the Source Master, and we have a certain understanding of the Source Master. In my estimation, the third-generation ancestor who turned into a red-haired monster had at least the strength of the Immortal Level 3, and possibly even higher, reaching the Immortal Level 4 Saint."

These words startled even top-tier experts like the Peacock King and the Crimson Dragon Taoist.

They were only at the second level of Immortal Realm perfection, and the Path-Severing barrier was like an insurmountable chasm blocking their way. Now, upon hearing that the immortal pills they had been longing for were actually inside the stomach of a king or even a saint, they thought, "What's the point of playing this game? I might as well just go home and lie down."

Ye Fan also agreed with Zhang Taichu's guess.

"According to the records of the Origin Book, every Origin Master has the strength to kill a second-level Immortal under the right conditions. This place is the heart of the Qinling Mountains, and the great dragon vein of the Central Plains is hidden underground. It is the best place for an Origin Master to show his strength."

"Furthermore, it has likely now transformed into a Corpse-Dissolving Immortal, so its strength will definitely be even greater. It might truly become a king, or even a saint!"

Seeing that everyone's morale had been dampened, Zhang Taichu quickly tried to encourage them.

"Don't be too discouraged, everyone. We still have the Emperor Weapon, right? Even a true saint would have to back down when facing an Emperor Weapon. Not to mention that the Third Ancestor was mentally impaired after turning into a monster, so we still have a chance to kill him."

The powerful figures nodded slightly. The imperial weapon was their last hope; otherwise, they could have turned back now.

At this moment, Zhang Taichu used his top-tier Origin Heaven Divine Eye, and golden light shot straight towards the Eternal Dragon's Lair.

The Immortal Transformation Pool has not yet descended, so even the most powerful Origin Heaven Divine Eye cannot see it. However, the Eternal Dragon Cave is a thing of the human realm, which used to be hidden deep underground, but now it is about to come to the surface, and can be seen through.

With the help of Zhang Taichu's Origin Heaven Divine Eye, everyone was able to see the interior of the Eternal Dragon's Lair.

"This—this is! A dream-level divine essence!"

Under the illumination of the Divine Eye of Origin, everyone saw several small creatures whose bodies shimmered with strange light.

There are little phoenixes, little qilins, little fire dragons, and so on.

They could not possibly be real phoenixes and qilins, but rather transformed from other spiritual beings. With everyone's discerning eye, they quickly determined that it was a dream-level divine essence.

Another sacred product for prolonging life is no less effective than the elixirs of immortality, and may even be more powerful in extending lifespan.

This was incredibly attractive to the older generation, such as the Peacock King, and they were willing to risk everything to obtain it.

At this moment, Zhang Taichu put away the Source Heaven Divine Eye, not because his magic power was insufficient, but because he dared not look anymore.

Others may not know, but he does know that a nest of holy spirits is hidden in the Eternal Dragon's Lair.

They are called a nest because there are several spirit-possessed demons inside.

These monsters are very cute, like porcelain dolls, small and exquisite.

However, they are bloodthirsty and insane. Apart from themselves, the Holy Spirit race, they consider any other race as trash.

Because they are made from sacred weapon materials and imbued with spiritual energy, their combat power is extremely strong, far exceeding that of the second-level immortals. In other words, they are most likely third-level immortals.

The leader among them may have even reached the level of a half-saint or a king at the peak of his realm.

In the original story, none of the geniuses of Beidou, including Wang Teng and Zhonghuang, were able to fight back against these divine jade demons.

In the end, it was only through the Azure Emperor's murderous intent that this group of divine jade demons was annihilated.

Besides these demonic creatures, the strongest being in the Eternal Dragon's Lair possesses the cultivation of a quasi-Emperor.

It's unknown exactly which level of Quasi-Emperor he is, but it's definitely not an alternative path to enlightenment, and it's even less likely that he'll become an Emperor.

This thing is powerful enough to suppress even Emperor-level weapons; at the very least, an Emperor-level weapon that hasn't fully recovered is no match for it.

This guy was also the only villain in the early stages of "Covering the Sky" who couldn't even be dealt with by an Emperor's weapon. In the end, he was killed instantly by the Azure Emperor's killing intent and became a background character used to showcase the Azure Emperor's strength.

The Azure Emperor could kill it with a single move, yet it only needed a glance to kill two powerful immortals.

Zhang Taichu didn't want to accidentally disturb this person and then be instantly killed by a single glance, so he quickly put away the Source Heaven Divine Eye.

"In short, that's the situation. There are still twenty days until the Immortal Transformation Pool opens. Let's use these twenty days to discuss our strategy. Now let's go back, it's not safe here."

The Queen Mother of the West, the Holy Lord of the Jiang family, and the Peacock King discussed the matter for a while, and then returned to Qin City together to discuss countermeasures and how to distribute the spoils of war if they succeeded.

Zhang Taichu spent two days with the Holy Maiden of Yaochi before going into seclusion to cultivate puppetry.

Puppetry is a quasi-emperor level secret technique. Although it cannot compare to the divine scriptures and the secret techniques of the emperor, its characteristics are similar to the profound meaning of clones. Therefore, it can also serve as a theoretical basis for comprehending the profound meaning of clones.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed. Just as the Immortal Transformation Pool was about to open, Zhang Taichu finally comprehended half of the Emperor's script of the secrets of clones.

At this moment, he took out the long-lost Quasi-Emperor stone statue, which was the Quasi-Emperor forbidden artifact he obtained from the Feathered Immortal Valley.

This stone statue can summon numerous puppets of the highest rank in the game "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" to fight. It can be said that without a saint, this thing is unsolvable.

In the original story, the Black Emperor was able to use the Boundless Killing Array to annihilate a group of puppets because the quasi-emperor statues at that time were almost broken, greatly reducing their power.

Furthermore, it cannot be controlled and can only attack on its own, which is why it foolishly charged into the Boundless Killing Formation and was ultimately destroyed.

What Zhang Taichu needs to do now is not to fully activate the Quasi-Emperor Statue, as he doesn't have the ability to do so. Instead, he will use the Mystery of the Clone Technique to split off a small part of his soul, then use it in conjunction with the Quasi-Emperor Statue to summon King Puppet, and then use the split soul to reside in them.

Under the dual control of clones and puppetry, the repaired quasi-emperor statue successfully summoned two king puppets.

These two puppets are about three meters tall and look extremely imposing. The only flaw is that they have no facial features; their faces are completely blank, making them look very strange.

Zhang Taichu infused the two fragments of his soul into the puppet, and the next second they transformed into his two clones, taking on their own actions.

"Amazing! It has perfectly inherited the power of the king. As expected, the clone technique is much stronger after the upgrade. This is only half of the Emperor's Script. If it goes further and reaches the complete Emperor's Script, it should be able to control more clone puppets."

"With these two kingly clones here, this battle is much safer. But it's a real pity. I clearly have a feeling of it coming, but the profound meaning of the Divine Mark Purple Gold technique still can't break through the bottleneck!"

It turned out that when Zhang Taichu had just comprehended half of the Emperor's script, he clearly felt that the bottleneck of the Divine Mark Purple Gold Profound Meaning was loosening.

Deep down, Zhang Taichu actually values ​​the profound meaning of the Divine Mark Purple Gold the most.

In his view, this profound knowledge is the greatest contributor to his achievements today, and it is the foundation of his success.

It can not only capture Dao traces and steal a large number of cultivation techniques, but also improve the upper limit of comprehension, allowing him, who should have been mediocre, to have comprehension comparable to top geniuses.

If he continues to improve, he might even catch up with the Ruthless Great Emperor, the person with the highest comprehension in the world of "Covering the Sky".

If this goal can be achieved, then becoming an emperor or even a mortal immortal will be a certainty, let alone becoming one.

Therefore, Zhang Taichu valued the profound meaning of the Divine Mark Purple Gold the most.

Unfortunately, this profound mystery is too mysterious, and no related scriptures can be found to serve as its theoretical basis.

In other words, Zhang Taichu could only comprehend things on his own without any theoretical foundation, which is why his progress was the slowest.

Now that he's finally about to break through, that's why Zhang Taichu is so excited.

"It seems we need to perfect the clone technique as soon as possible, so that its progress reaches the level of a complete imperial script. At that time, not only will the power of this technique be stronger, but it may also allow the Divine Mark Purple Gold technique to make a breakthrough."

"Let's go with the monkey. His secret technique of plucking hairs to create an external avatar will definitely resonate with the ultimate technique of creating clones. Let me think about what I can offer in exchange—"

Zhang Taichu clapped his hands.

"I remember in the original story, the monkey also participated in the Qinling battle, and his goal was the immortal elixir and the dream-level divine essence in the Eternal Dragon's Lair, which was probably to prolong his uncle's life. In that case, let's exchange these two things with him."

Although the monkey in the original story taught this supernatural power to Ye Fan and Pang Bo for free, that was on the premise that the two sides had already established a deep friendship.

Zhang Taichu and the monkey have only met a few times, and their relationship is far from deep; it's just an exchange of benefits.

Just as he finished making his plans, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi came to find him and said that everyone was about to set off for the Immortal Ascension Pool in the Qinling Mountains.

Zhang Taichu took out two large black cloaks and draped them over the two puppet clones before stepping out.

"Who are they?"

"The clone puppet summoned by borrowing the Quasi-Emperor statue is one of the trump cards in this great battle."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was the only one among everyone who knew about the Quasi-Emperor Stone Statue. Upon hearing that it was this thing, she immediately realized its power.

"What is your strength?"

"King"

Upon hearing this, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi was completely relieved.
