This divine sense was incredibly powerful, almost tangible. Despite the vast distance between them, Lu Li could still clearly feel that this divine sense far surpassed that of a first-grade divine sense.

Wow!

This divine thought invaded Lu Li's sea of ​​consciousness, causing it to spontaneously combust. He felt an intense headache and almost lost his mind. Lu Li hurriedly activated the Great Dream Pivot and, with the help of Duan Xuanyuan and the mysterious artifact spirit, barely managed to withstand it.

“Interesting junior, then let me answer your first question. If you ask for my name, I don’t remember it anymore, but they all call me ‘True Lord of Extinguishing Fire’.”

Chapter 237 Crude Crossbow

The True Lord of Extinguishing Fire!?

Upon seeing that the person in front of him was actually the legendary True Lord of Retreating Fire, Lu Li was immediately shocked and rushed forward, attempting to shut down the "One Heart, One Mind" technique.

How could the True Lord of Extinguishing Fire allow Lu Li to do as he pleased? He raised his hand and pointed, and Lu Li's body and soul spontaneously combusted at the same time.

The supernatural power of the puppet master—[Playing with fire]!

"You ants, how dare you be so insolent before us!"

The mysterious artifact spirit in his sea of ​​consciousness let out a muffled groan, and Duan Xuanyuan suddenly began to scream in agony.

"Ouch, it hurts so much! Waaaaah! If this continues, I'm afraid I won't live to see you complete the Five Reincarnations Body."

"Hang in there a little longer, just a little more."

Lu Li activated the permafrost machine, allowing the extreme cold power to spread throughout his body. However, this only temporarily stopped the flames on his body and could not alleviate the burning pain in his mind. Enduring the burning pain, he stepped forward and pressed the switch that everyone wanted.

With the supply of spiritual energy cut off, the "United Hearts" technique ceased to function, and the phantom of the True Lord of Retreating Fire also disappeared. However, the other party's androgynous voice echoed in Lu Li's sea of ​​consciousness like a curse, lingering for a long time.

"We'll meet again..."

After a while, the sound finally dissipated. Lu Li, covered in sweat, lay sprawled on the ruins of the Dharma King's Palace after the great battle, panting heavily.

Looking at the mechanism at his feet again, Lu Li was still shaken. The cultivation level of this True Monarch of Extinction was far beyond his comprehension.

What level is the opponent at? The Celestial Craftsmanship Realm?

Even a Celestial Craftsmanship Realm expert couldn't be this powerful. A mere phantom formed from a wisp of divine thought possesses such strength.

"I cannot discern the true level of its physical body, but judging from the illusory divine sense just now, it should be in the late Yellow Realm."

"Yellow Realm, what kind of realm is that?"

"The Yellow Realm is the fifth level of divine sense, ranking above A, B, C, and D. The sixth level is called the Profound Realm, the seventh is the Earth Realm, and the eighth is the Heaven Realm."

"From highest to lowest, they are Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow... I remember Ying Wange was also at this level."

"She was at the early Yellow Realm, while the divine sense phantom of True Monarch Tuihuo was at the late Yellow Realm, which means that his true divine sense was at least at the Profound Realm, and possibly even at the Earth Realm."

"Sigh...we've been targeted."

This wasn't the first time Lu Li had killed the leader of the Tongxian Sect. As the saying goes, "He who stands by the river will eventually get his shoes wet," which is why he didn't immediately come to cause trouble for the Dharma King, but instead planned to kill Ying Wange first.

It wasn't just because he wasn't aware of the Dharma King's strength at the time, but also because the Tongxian Sect was too complex, with its influence extending from the middle reaches of the river to various downstream basins.

At this moment, Duan Xuanyuan let out a long sigh.

"You've really gotten me into serious trouble this time."

"Hmph, you old codger, that's not what you said when you asked me to help you refine your Five-Reincarnation Body."

"Before that guy finds you, it would be a victory if you could refine me into a Five-Reincarnation Body, okay? I'm just afraid you won't live to see that day. Oh dear, how did I end up in this mess?"

Lu Li snorted coldly, and then began to disassemble the "All Hearts Desiring" doll. He took out the Spirit Core and the Memory Jade Tablet from it.

This memory jade tablet is at the fourth level and contains an entire Lesser Heaven of Disparity, which was personally constructed by the Dharma King and is of great value. Unfortunately, this Lesser Heaven of Disparity is connected to the Lesser Heaven of Disparity of the Tongxian Sect's main altar. Once it is opened, True Monarch Tuihuo can find him instantly.

Therefore, Lu Li had no choice but to make a tough decision and destroy the memory jade tablet along with the small disparate heaven within it.

Having obtained the four-turn, eight-type spirit core, Lu Li dared not be careless. He used the spirit map instrument to check it inside and out, repeatedly confirming that there was no contingency plan left by True Monarch Tuihuo in this item.

The deductive power of the three-turn, nine-form Taixu version of the Spirit Core is extremely powerful, comparable to the four-turn, three-form Spirit Core. The four-turn, eight-form Spirit Core in Lu Li's hand has more than four times the deductive power of the former.

Lu Li adjusted the position of the former, making it his left hemisphere, and then made the latter his right hemisphere, and re-divided the nuclei.

The left hemisphere has two cores, named A and B respectively, while the right hemisphere has eight cores, named C, D, E, F, G, H, I, and G respectively, for a total of ten sub-cores, which increases the deductive power to five times the original.

At the same time, after being equipped with this spirit core, Lu Li's divine sense advanced two levels, leaping from the lower grade of Grade A to the upper grade of Grade A.

This is already Lu Li's current peak state. Regardless of whether Lu Li transforms into his future self, his divine sense realm is still top-grade.

Lu Li, pretending to be in his future self, had a physical strength that was barely equivalent to a fourth-level puppet, and slightly lower than a top-grade divine sense.

When he borrowed the future behind him, his physical strength was equivalent to a fifth-level puppet, only slightly higher than the divine sense realm. The gap was much smaller than before, so the feeling of imbalance between his physical body and soul had basically disappeared.

With the issue of divination power largely resolved, the next step is to address the problem of spiritual materials.

Lu Li went to the Hecheng Chamber of Commerce and purchased a batch of spiritual materials, totaling 250,000 spirit stones.

Among them, ten sets of auxiliary materials needed to refine the Guixu Seal were collected, with a total value of 200,000 spirit stones. In addition, one set each of all the spiritual materials needed to refine the Tongyou Winding Path and the Meiyin Box was collected, with a total value of 50,000 spirit stones.

The cost of a fifth-grade puppet should theoretically be more than 20,000 spirit stones, since Lu Li would have spent 50,000 spirit stones to refine two third-grade puppets.

There are three reasons for this.

Firstly, what Lu Li bought were only auxiliary materials; the real bulk of the purchase was the Guixu uranium and Guixu plutonium. The Hecheng Chamber of Commerce didn't even sell these two spiritual materials to outsiders, but Lu Li happened to have them readily available.

Secondly, with the Guixu Array Plate as a base, a large amount of expensive main materials were saved.

Thirdly, among all the auxiliary materials, there were a few that he happened to have on hand and did not need to buy. These were things he had taken from the White Moon Palace. All he lacked were the remaining few items.

With these combined costs, and by only purchasing a portion of the auxiliary materials, Lu Li managed to reduce his average cost to around 20,000 spirit stones.

After doing all this, Lu Li still had 150,000 spirit stones left, for emergencies.

……

Ten days later, in the Boundless Realm of Innocent Children, in the Void Space.

A thunderous roar erupted, and Lu Li, standing at a great distance, was covered in dust and grime, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light.

He believed he had stood far enough away, yet he was still affected. The attack just now was a Blessing Returning to the Void Seal with 60% of its capacity, plus a small amount of Returning to the Void plutonium.

At this moment, he held a strangely shaped puppet, which resembled both a gun and a crossbow. It was entirely black and forged from a mixture of various spiritual ores. At the front, there were two square openings side by side, each two inches wide.

The crossbow was pitch black, without any decoration. Large areas of magic arrays, spirit glue, and spirit-guiding copper were exposed. At first glance, it looked very simple and could be mistaken for some crudely made mechanical artifact.

Lu Li called it the "Return to the Ruins Gun".

Chapter 238 Ancestor, come quickly! I will lead you to occupy the White Moon Palace!

This artifact was modified from the original Guixu Seal. Only Lu Li himself knew that, structurally, this object had reached the pinnacle of what he could currently achieve.

Although it looked quite ugly, the Lingtu instrument did not report any errors.

The addition of the second Spirit Core not only greatly enhanced his deductive abilities but also significantly improved the effectiveness of the Spirit Chart Instrument, allowing him to discover many errors that he had previously failed to detect.

Under such rigorous, meticulous, and even harsh inspection, this ugly-looking puppet was found to have no flaws.

Lu Li had tried other methods, such as adding an outer shell. This action seemed to have no impact, but it would cause heat dissipation problems for the magic array, eventually leading to the collapse of the magic array.

As I always say, as long as the instrument functions properly, we won't touch it.

It's ugly and crude, but it works, and that's enough.

They didn't even prepare a box to store the Guixu Seals; the two Guixu Seals were simply stuffed into the two openings.

Even with the support of two Spirit Cores, Lu Li still experienced many failures. In the end, he only had fourteen Ruin Uranium and half a Ruin Plutonium left.

With so few spiritual materials left, Lu Li could only refine two. He would use the remaining Guixu Uranium to operate the Reversal Heavenly Dipper Instrument.

The Guixu Gun is only at the fourth level of strength, which is not strong enough to support the firing of the fifth-level Blessing Guixu Seal. The reason is that Lu Li does not have any other better spiritual materials to refine a more solid and reliable Guixu Gun.

The embedded Guixu Array Plate, after years of tinkering by Lu Li, is now teetering on the brink of collapse. It has reached its limit in holding on until now. Lu Li has tried to salvage it, but this array plate is not something he can replicate.

This is not only a lack of deductive ability, but also a lack of craftsmanship. The mechanical artifacts that Lu Li has are not enough to support him in refining or repairing this array plate.

Lu Li was uncertain. He didn't know how long the array plate could last. Maybe twice, maybe once. Lu Li didn't know.

Moreover, Lu Li knew that Ying Wange's backup hidden spirit-gathering array used uranium from the Void, and he also made some changes to the two Blessing Void Seals.

After testing, it was found that as long as the target's hidden spirit-gathering array is hit directly, not only will the Guixu Seal explode, but the Guixu Uranium in the target's spirit-gathering array will also be detonated at the same time.

This was also a targeted and specialized approach that Lu Li took to deal with Ying Wange.

Therefore, Lu Li named it "Moonfall" with the suffix, and the full name of these two Blessing Return to Ruins Seals is "[Blessing Return to Ruins Seal - Moonfall]".

Of course, the prerequisite for detonation is hitting the target precisely.

The spiritual energy compression array concentrates the explosive power of the uranium from the void, making it a masterpiece of attacking a single point, but correspondingly, the attack range also becomes very narrow.

After testing, it was found that the Guixu gun had some issues with its accuracy; the bullet trajectory seemed to be slightly off to the left...

Duan Xuanyuan's assessment of this was:

"On the bright side, even if the enemy manages to seize his Guixu Gun, they won't be able to use it directly."

"You're right, I still want to make some changes. What exactly is the problem? The Lingtu Instrument isn't reporting any errors."

"Stop messing around. You don't have much Guixu uranium left, not enough for your test explosions. Even the heavens and earth are not perfect, so the Yanqi (a type of magical artifact) should also be incomplete. It's beyond human power to force things. That's enough, you've done your best."

"Yes, I've done my best... Perhaps this is the best I can achieve in this lifetime?"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't be so pessimistic. Don't die, my five reincarnations are waiting for you to refine them."

"The next Star Chariot will arrive in Chizi City in three days. There's still some time on the road. Let's refine the other two artifacts. I just hope she hasn't broken through to the Heavenly Crafting Realm yet. I hope everything is still in time."

……

Late at night, in the White Moon Palace, in the dungeon.

A figure rushed out of the dungeon, his body covered in blood and flesh, emitting a strong, acrid smell, looking utterly miserable.

His tongue had been cut in half, and his voice was hoarse and indistinct.

"Finally... out."

Boom!

Thunder rumbled in the sky, and the man trembled with fright. Gazing at the lightning that tore through the sky, he vaguely seemed to recall some unpleasant memories.

His eyes had been gouged out, and he could only rely on his divine sense to grope his way forward. He walked with a limp, taking each step with extreme caution. He even worried that he would be discovered by the sect disciples at any moment and then thrown back into the dungeon.

Fortunately, the Palace Master of Qingyang Palace left him a backup plan.

He stumbled and fell all the way, eventually scaling the wall to enter Yushui Girls' School. He passed through the bamboo forest behind the mountain, bypassed the outhouse, spotted a piece of land, and began digging on the spot with his bare hands.

Before long, he dug out a wooden box that was two feet square.

"When we buried this thing here back then, we didn't know if it would still be usable."

The dungeon was pitch black and filled with torture. His mind was on the verge of collapse, and he had long forgotten the concept of time. He was not sure exactly how much time had passed.

Upon opening the wooden box, one finds a rattan puppet, a crossbow, and a mechanical eye.

The crossbow and the mechanical eye are unremarkable, being a second-tier mechanical artifact, while the mechanical armor is a fourth-tier mechanical artifact named [Concealment Vine Armor].

The man quickly inserted the single mechanical eye into his left eye socket, then donned the rattan armor. Without needing to activate it or expend any spiritual energy, the armor began to operate on its own. Immediately afterward, the man's figure vanished into thin air.

With this four-turn puppet for self-defense, the man's tense nerves gradually relaxed, and flames seemed to burn in his mechanical pupils and dark eye sockets.

"People only laugh at me, Xuan Ya, for being lustful and repressed. Little do they know that my true purpose in infiltrating the girls' school was to bury this contingency plan here."

“Those scum searched me and took all the magical weapons I had on me, except for these two.”

"The backup plan that the Palace Master gave me back then has finally come in handy."

After saying that, he ran wildly and, with the help of his fourth-level automaton, successfully entered the Heavenly Pavilion. He took out a crossbow and silently shot and killed the inner disciple who was ascending to heaven in the private room.

He then snatched the Heavenly Mirror from the other person's face, entered the Lesser Heaven of the White Moon Palace, and connected to the Lesser Heaven of the Azure Sun Palace using the mechanical eye on his body.

He then entered all the information he knew, especially about Ying Wange's situation, including the time and place of his breakthrough.

The information was leaked to him by another elder in the White Moon Palace, who was also an inside agent, but was discovered not long ago and has not yet been able to come out.

After doing all this, Xuan Ya Yi's expression gradually became frantic, and he didn't forget to add a final sentence:

"Elders and Supreme Lords, come quickly! I will lead you to occupy the White Moon Palace!"

After entering the information, Xuan Ya's finger trembled, but his hand did not hesitate for a second when he pressed the button.

"I have not failed you, my mission is complete! Hahahaha!"
