Battle Through the Heavens: The Inner Struggle of Cultivation Brings Xiao Yan to Tears

"The Soul Palace and the Soul Clan even sent a three-star Dou Sheng late-stage expert just in case."

"If I hadn't happened to be there and hadn't been strong enough, the Xiao family might have been finished today."

As he spoke, a dark look flashed across Xiao Yang's face.

With a thought, Xiao Yang suddenly produced a storage ring in his hand.

“Uncle, this storage ring contains one eight-star Dou Sheng puppet, three seven-star Dou Sheng puppets, and ten six-star Dou Sheng puppets.”

"First, you should make these puppets acknowledge your master."

"When the time comes, find some trustworthy clansmen and give them a few six-star Dou Sheng puppets."

“These beast puppets don’t have much intelligence, so it’s essential to have two people watching over them all day long.”

"Although no one in the Xiao family can detect the approach of a Dou Sheng expert, the puppet can."

"Therefore, someone must always be on hand to control the puppets and keep an eye on the area around the Xiao family."

As he spoke, Xiao Yang secretly created a mission.

[Mission: Gift the Xiao family fourteen Dou Sheng Beast Puppets. Reward: One peak Dou Sheng puppet, one hundred Meteorite Stones, one hundred Copper Refined Iron Mothers...]

Looking at the mission rewards, Xiao Yang was overjoyed.

With those materials, he can refine even more beast puppets in the future!

In fact, what Xiao Yang lacks right now is not high-level magical beast materials.

What he lacks most are actually top-grade refining materials.

He doesn't have many materials for refining weapons.

If he hadn't retrieved some refining materials from the treasure vault of the Ancient Dragon Clan, he wouldn't have been able to forge such a powerful beast puppet.

Now, with these rewards, he can forge a few more.

Moreover, and most importantly, there was even a puppet at the peak of the Dou Sheng realm!

Chapter 500 Opening Up a Small Space

Xiao Zhan was stunned when he heard what Xiao Yang said.

A puppet at the level of an eight-star Dou Sheng?

In addition, there are more than a dozen puppets at the seven-star and six-star levels!

Did the ancient imperial clans possess such formidable fighting power?

At this moment, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but feel a little lost.

He took the storage ring from Xiao Yang and looked inside.

Inside the storage ring were more than a dozen puppets with exceptionally powerful auras.

These puppets all look just like Warcraft.

Xiao Zhan himself didn't recognize many of these magical beasts.

However, he could sense that these puppets, with their mere pressure, might be able to kill him outright.

As Xiao Zhan accepted the storage ring, a system notification sounded in Xiao Yang's mind.

[Mission: Gift fourteen Dou Sheng Beast Puppets to the Xiao Family. Reward: One peak Dou Sheng puppet, one hundred Meteorite Stones, one hundred Copper Refined Iron Mothers... Completed. Claim reward?]

Seeing this, Xiao Yang simply accepted the reward.

Looking at Xiao Zhan, who was still somewhat dazed, Xiao Yang continued.

"Uncle, although we now have quite a few high-level combatants."

"But these are all puppets."

"In other words, we ourselves are a weakness."

"My puppets are a bit stronger than ordinary puppets, and they also have some basic intelligence."

"But in the end, it still can't compare to the real person."

"When facing a strong opponent of the same level, at most one can only put up a fight."

If Xiao Yang was weak in the past, those puppets could defeat beings of the same level.

With Xiao Yang's current beast puppets, it's practically impossible for him to defeat an existence of the same level.

Which expert at the Dou Sheng level has poor cultivation techniques and fighting skills?

Especially high-ranking Battle Saints.

They all cultivate Heaven-rank techniques and use Heaven-rank combat skills.

Xiao Yang's puppets are indeed amazing; some of them can even perform combat techniques.

However, at most, they can only use high-level Earth-rank combat techniques.

Heavenly Rank combat skills are a huge hurdle.

Unless it involves directly turning a living person into a puppet.

Otherwise, ordinary puppets would not be able to use Heaven-Rank combat skills at all.

Even Xiao Yang and his beast puppets are the same.

After all, the beast puppets he crafted used the souls of the magical beasts in the magical beast ranch space.

The Warcraft Ranch space can indeed allow Warcraft to grow quickly.

But the price was the loss of these magical beasts' intelligence.

These magical beasts don't even have some of the basic instincts of animals!

Using their souls to refine them, you can't possibly create the most top-tier puppets.

Therefore, apart from some simple commands, these beast puppets need to be controlled by someone for reconnaissance and protection.

However, even so, the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages.

After all, the monsters in the Monster Ranch space are very easy to obtain.

Obtaining a true Dou Sheng corpse is incredibly difficult.

Even if they can't defeat a powerhouse of the same level, the powerful physical body of the magical beast, along with the top-grade metal that Xiao Yang incorporated, should be able to hold them off.

If one relies on overwhelming strength, killing some weaker Dou Sheng would be an easy task.

Especially the dragon-phoenix puppets that Xiao Yang gave me.

Those dragon-phoenix puppets possess a powerful spatial affinity.

Their movement through space is very simple.

It is entirely possible to quickly kill some weak Battle Saints.

Xiao Yang explained the advantages and disadvantages of these puppets to Xiao Zhan one by one.

After learning about the weaknesses of these puppets, Xiao Zhan also realized that it would be difficult to dominate the world by relying on puppets.

What truly matters is people.

Only when the Xiao family members truly become powerful can the Xiao family return to Zhongzhou openly and legitimately.

"I see."

"I will definitely talk to the other clansmen who control the puppets properly."

Xiao Zhan nodded solemnly.

Then, Xiao Yang handed over the pills he had prepared earlier, along with the pills that appeared when he refined the Xuan Dan, to Xiao Zhan.

Many of these elixirs were made using the alchemical process of fusion.

The most common of these were pills like the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill and the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill.

These elixirs were all refined using the alchemical process of fusion.

Although they were mass-produced by clones, they were all of perfect quality.

With these pills, the Xiao family can completely skip the Great Dou Master stage!

With Xiao Yang's current alchemy skills, even if he had his clone refine the pills, producing several hundred low-grade pills in a single batch wouldn't be a problem.

The pills that Xiao Yang took out once again shocked Xiao Zhan.

Among them, the most precious is a batch of nine-colored Dan Lei grade eight pills—the Heavenly Spirit Pill.

This is a elixir that improves one's aptitude!

Its medicinal materials are extremely rare, requiring even top-grade materials!

Even the Pill Tower and the ancient imperial clans do not have many such pills.

But Xiao Yang has a full twenty of them!

One of the bottles, containing ten pills, was obtained when he raised his proficiency in Rank 8 pills to an unparalleled level.

The rest were crafted by the clone during the time it spent on Dragon Island.

The Heavenly Spirit Pill has a very powerful effect.

As long as you take it, you can safely cultivate all the way to Dou Zong, and there is even a considerable chance that you can break through to Dou Zun!

Of course, the Heavenly Spirit Pill can only give a person the aptitude to cultivate to the level of Dou Zun at most.

Going any higher would be beyond what ordinary eighth-grade pills could achieve.

Unless it is during the early stages of pregnancy, taking some eighth-grade elixirs that improve one's talents.

This would make it more possible for people to cultivate to the level of a Battle Saint.

Moreover, the technique must also be excellent.

As for future modifications, Xiao Yang possesses the talent to cultivate to the level of Dou Sheng, which would definitely require a ninth-grade pill to achieve.

After handing the pills to Xiao Zhan, Xiao Yang explained the functions of the pills one by one.

Then he left.
