Martial Universe: Inherit the Future, Quickly Become a Martial Ancestor!

Whoohoo!

Half a month later,

On the desolate land, a group of people rode on their swords, and more than thirty sword lights pierced the sky, leaving behind a series of magnificent afterimages in the vast world.

For the past two weeks, Lanhe and his group have been heading north, steadily advancing towards the core area of ​​the ancient battlefield.

They encountered several small-scale demon tides along the way, but those demonic beasts were no match for the people of the Immortal Dynasty. Lan Ying and her people casually dealt with a few waves, treating it as practice for the younger generation, and they also gained quite a bit of demonic beast materials.

On this day, as everyone was flying, a sound of wind breaking suddenly came from ahead.

Lan He's gaze sharpened slightly, and he raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.

In the distance, a figure sped across the sky and blocked their path in the blink of an eye.

He was a young man dressed in a dark robe embroidered with intricate star patterns that shimmered with light. He was handsome with delicate features, his eyes darting around with a mischievous and lively quality, yet his aura was quite strong, clearly indicating that he was at the Fourth Stage of Nirvana.

Lan He raised an eyebrow slightly.

The attire of the Kingdom of Gods.

To possess such cultivation upon just entering the Hundred Dynasties War, this person must be either the leader of the Divine Dynasty or one of its core figures.

The man stopped ten paces in front of the crowd. He didn't speak immediately, but first sized Lan He up and down, his eyes darting around several times, before smiling and bowing respectfully.

"May I ask if those ahead are friends of the Immortal Dynasty?"

Lan He nodded slightly: "Indeed, what advice do you have for me?"

The man grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth, and spoke in a lighthearted tone, as if he were chatting casually:

"I am Mo Leng from the Divine Dynasty. I apologize for stopping you here, but I have a lucrative business offer to discuss with you all. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Disciples of the Mohist school?"

Lan He raised an eyebrow, his gaze falling on that smiling face with a hint of scrutiny.

The Divine Dynasty is a direct subordinate dynasty of the Divine Sect, one of the eight super sects of the Eastern Xuan Region, and has always been renowned for its cultivation of spiritual power. Within the Divine Dynasty, the Mo family holds a position of unparalleled prestige, much like the Lan family of their Immortal Dynasty.

However, the Mohist school of the Divine Dynasty had always been fond of studying the art of puppetry, and their solitary nature meant they rarely interacted with people from other dynasties during the Hundred Dynasties Wars. Even in the records of the Immortal Dynasty, there are very few accounts of them.

"He's all alone, should we...?"

At this moment, Lan Ying leaned over and spoke in a low voice, her words carrying a hint of probing.

Lan He waved his hand gently.

"No need."

He looked at Mo Leng, a slight smile playing on his lips, his tone calm yet resolute:

"Since this friend from the Divine Dynasty dared to come alone, he must have his reasons. Moreover..."

He paused, his gaze falling on Mo Leng, a glint of insight flashing in his eyes:

"If I'm not mistaken, Brother Mo, the one who came isn't the real person, is he?"

"This spirit puppet is so exquisitely crafted that it almost fooled my eyes."

Lan He spoke calmly, yet each word was clear.

Mo Leng's smile froze for a moment, then quickly returned to its usual playful expression.

He scratched his head and clicked his tongue:

"Tsk, I've been seen through. The leader of this year's Immortal Dynasty team is indeed not simple."

He opened his arms wide, spun around, and laughed:

"That's right, that's right, this is a spirit puppet, a level four spirit puppet, barely able to unleash the strength of a fourth-level Nirvana Realm cultivator. I myself am still hiding a hundred miles away, afraid you'll attack me."

He spoke frankly, without a trace of fear on his face.

Lan Ying frowned slightly and whispered to Lan He, "A level four spirit puppet?"

Lan He nodded, his gaze lingering on the lifelike puppet for a moment, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.

In the Tianxuan Continent, the art of puppetry has always been the exclusive domain of talisman masters. Besides crafting spiritual treasures, the spiritual fire of talisman masters has another important function: crafting talisman puppets.

Talisman puppets are divided into three grades: low, medium, and high. Depending on the materials used, their power varies, roughly corresponding to the strength from the Great Perfection of the Yuan Dan realm to the Creation realm.

Above the talisman puppet is the spirit puppet.

These puppets have already developed a certain level of sentience and are divided into nine levels. Each level requires a massive amount of rare and precious materials and exquisite crafting techniques.

The fourth-level spirit puppet before us is comparable in strength to a fourth-level Nirvana Realm expert. In addition, its insensitivity to pain and fearlessness of death make it even more troublesome than an ordinary fourth-level Nirvana Realm cultivator if we were to actually fight it.

What's even more remarkable is that this puppet is so lifelike, its actions and speech are no different from those of a real person. If Lan He hadn't also cultivated spiritual power and had a perception far superior to others of the same level, he would have almost been fooled by it.

Lan He withdrew his gaze and looked at Mo Leng, his tone still indifferent:

"Since Brother Mo dared to come alone and willingly revealed his true identity, he's probably not here to fight. So, what is it?"

"Brother, you're very kind. However, I've already given my name. May I ask your surname and given name?"

Mo Leng clasped his hands in a fist salute and asked with a smile.

Lan He nodded slightly, his tone indifferent: "Immortal Dynasty, Lan He."

"Lan He... Brother Lan!" Mo Leng's eyes lit up, then he looked at the two people beside Lan He, "Who are these two?"

Lan Ying glanced at him and said calmly, "Immortal Dynasty, Lan Family, Lan Ying."

Qingfeng remained indifferent, merely nodding slightly and uttering four words: "Qing family, Qingfeng."

Mo Leng didn't mind their coldness and smiled as he cupped his hands in greeting: "Miss Lan Ying, Brother Qing Feng, it's an honor to meet you!"

Lan Ying raised an eyebrow: "You only just learned our names, what's with the 'I've heard so much about you'?"

Mo Leng remained unfazed: "I've long admired the Immortal Dynasty! I only just learned the name, but its reputation has been legendary for ages!"

Lan Ying was amused by his glib tongue and speechless, but she was too lazy to say anything more.

Mo Leng put away his playful smile and said seriously:

"Alright, alright, now that we know each other, let's get down to business."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the three of them, his tone becoming more serious:

"To be honest, I came here today to seek cooperation with the Immortal Dynasty."

Lan He raised an eyebrow slightly: "Cooperation?"

"right."

Mo Leng nodded, his smile fading and replaced by a serious expression. He said, "Our Divine Dynasty recently discovered the ruins of an ancient sect, the Ancient Heavenly Blade Sect."

"The Heavenly Blade Sect?" Lan Ying became interested and pressed for details, "What's their background?"

Seeing their interest, Mo Leng perked up and explained:

"In ancient times, this sect was said to have had many connections with the Sword Sect, one of the eight super sects in the Eastern Xuan Region today. Although it is not as behemoth as the Sword Sect, it is by no means an ordinary force."

"Based on the clues we found, there should be many good things hidden inside: elixirs, martial arts techniques, spiritual treasures, and perhaps even a complete inheritance."

He paused, a hint of helplessness in his voice:

"But now that ruin has been occupied by the Wan Kui Dynasty."

Lan He's eyes flickered slightly.

The Myriad Puppet Dynasty, one of the ten super dynasties, is directly under the Myriad Puppet Sect, one of the eight super sects of the Eastern Xuan Region.

That's the only super sect in the Eastern Xuan Region with a celestial puppet comparable to a celestial talisman master in charge. In terms of puppetry skills, the Myriad Puppet Sect can be considered the best in the entire Eastern Xuan Region, and the Myriad Puppet Dynasty, as its direct subordinate dynasty, naturally has a deep foundation in puppetry as well.

Seeing that Lan He did not immediately respond, Mo Leng continued:

"Every member of the Myriad Puppet Dynasty who enters the Hundred Dynasties War carries a spirit puppet with them. That means each of them is equivalent to two Nirvana Realm warriors. Think about it, everyone is originally at the Nirvana Realm, and the fight is evenly matched, but then they have an equally powerful puppet standing next to them. Who can withstand that?"

He shrugged, looking helpless.

"In our Divine Dynasty, only members of the Mohist school know puppetry. The others... are just ordinary cultivators. We are at a complete disadvantage in terms of numbers. If we fight head-on, we will definitely suffer losses."

Lan He listened quietly without interrupting.

Mo Leng sighed and said, "I originally wanted to ask other dynasties for help, but the Wan Kui Dynasty is one of the ten super dynasties after all. How could an ordinary dynasty dare to offend them? After thinking it over, I can only seek cooperation with other forces that are also among the ten super dynasties."

He looked at Lan He, his eyes filled with anticipation:

"I heard that someone in Yan City was inquiring about the Balance Spirit Fruit, and when I inquired, I found out it was someone from the Immortal Dynasty. That's why I rushed over immediately."

He grinned:

"So, Brother Lan, are you interested?"

He paused, then added, his tone carrying a hint of encouragement:

"Shall we pull off a heist?"
