Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 909: Chapter 656: Gold Core Puppet_2

Occasionally, he would take out hundreds of mid-grade spirit stones and place them into the Celestial God Thunder Array to fuel its energy consumption.

Meanwhile, Cloud Traversal True Monarch outside was entirely absorbed in the excitement of seeing the array skills on the verge of being broken, continuously bombarding the array with spirit artifacts.

But at a certain moment.

When He Song once again placed hundreds of mid-grade spirit stones into the Celestial God Thunder Array,

in front of He Song, the Taiyin Puppet, which had been lying quietly on a huge stone, silently absorbing the surrounding spirit Qi, Yin Qi, and the Power of Taiyin,

suddenly underwent a transformation.

...

The Taiyin Puppet was refined by He Song using the methods learned from the Art of Taiyin Puppetry he had acquired previously.

In the process of refining this Taiyin Puppet, He Song not only employed various secret techniques from the Art of Taiyin Puppetry,

but he also did not forget to lay out the Yin Yang Rebirth Array that he had obtained earlier, continuously providing the puppet with vast amounts of spirit Qi and Yin Qi.

Over the fifty years that the Taiyin Puppet gradually took shape,

it absorbed massive amounts of spirit Qi and Yin Qi daily, in addition to the Power of Taiyin.

Today, its development had finally borne fruit.

At this very moment, He Song, who had been guarding the Taiyin Puppet, waiting for it to fully take shape,

immediately noticed the change occurring in the puppet before him.

In He Song’s eyes, the Taiyin Puppet, which had been as still and silent as a corpse, now had an aura that was climbing steadily.

Before this, though the aura of the Taiyin Puppet had been growing, no matter how much it increased, it was always confined to the realm of Foundation Establishment.

Even though the aura of the Taiyin Puppet had long ago surpassed that of countless cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection,

and even though the puppet’s aura was not so far from that of a Golden Elixir Master who had just broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm,

at this very moment,

He Song suddenly sensed a change in the aura emanating from the Taiyin Puppet.

A whiff of Golden Elixir Qi.

Emerged from the body of the Taiyin Puppet at this moment.

Since He Song was himself at the Golden Core Middle Stage, he was no stranger to such an aura of Golden Elixir Qi.

Right now, He Song indeed sensed a trace of Golden Elixir Qi emerging from the Taiyin Puppet.

At the same time, as a trace of Golden Elixir Qi quietly appeared on the Taiyin Puppet,

the strands of spirit Qi and Yin Qi that were slowly seeping into its body started to become active.

It seemed that the Taiyin Puppet’s allure to these energies had risen by more than just a notch.

At this moment, around the Taiyin Puppet, tremendous amounts of spirit Qi and Yin Qi were rapidly entering its body.

And as this intensified,

A huge vortex, where spirit Qi and Yin Qi converged, quietly appeared within the array set up by He Song.

Inside this immense vortex of mingled spirit Qi and Yin Qi,

the Taiyin Puppet lay quietly,

while vast amounts of spirit Qi and Yin Qi began to pour continuously into its body,

the Golden Elixir Qi of the Taiyin Puppet became increasingly dense.

Even the aura around it surged dramatically.

On the side,

He Song, who had been paying close attention to the unfolding events, now had a glint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

Fifty years,

A full fifty years.

Fifty years ago, He Song had placed this Taiyin Puppet here,

letting it absorb the dense spirit Qi and Yin Qi within the Yin Yang Rebirth Array, as well as the Power of Taiyin.

After such a long period, it had taken a full fifty years for He Song to finally witness the fruits of his labor.

The fifty-year wait, for He Song, was not particularly lengthy.

Yet, this was the first time He Song had waited a full fifty years for the enhancement of his own strength.

Having spent fifty years to finally cultivate this Gold Core Puppet, He Song was naturally filled with anticipation.

As long as this Taiyin Puppet was fully formed,

henceforth, even when venturing out, his personal safety would see a significant increase.

And if He Song could continue to elevate the strength of this Taiyin Puppet using the Art of Taiyin Puppetry,

his own power would soar as well.

Once a Taiyin Puppet was refined, its strength could also grow rapidly.

Just as with the spirit puppets He Song created during the Foundation Establishment Realm, the Taiyin Puppet’s strength could also increase by integrating a large amount of precious materials.

However, once a puppet’s strength reached the Golden Core Realm, advancing its strength naturally became more challenging than with Foundation Establishment puppets.

Ordinary Foundation Establishment puppets, like the spirit puppets previously refined by He Song, simply required the integration of sufficiently strong materials and abundant spirit Qi support.

They could quickly attain Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, Late Foundation Establishment Stage, or even Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.

Such strength enhancement was no longer a significant issue for He Song.

However, this Taiyin Puppet, being a Gold Core Puppet, required something else for strength enhancement.

To elevate the power of a Gold Core Puppet,

besides needing to fuse its body with plenty of precious materials, it also required a vast infusion of spirit Qi into the Golden Elixir within it.

Then, using unique mana formulas, strengthen the pathways formed by the formulas integrated within its Golden Elixir and body during the initial refinement.

These pathways,

were deeply engraved inside the puppet’s body at the beginning of the Taiyin Puppet’s refinement.

That way, they could not be destroyed by external forces, ensuring that the puppet remained operational.

At the same time, these pathways formed by the mana formulas were also the reason the puppet could be controlled by He Song.

The formulas personally integrated by He Song ensured that he could easily control the puppet.

Only by achieving both aspects could the strength of a Gold Core Puppet grow.

Integrating a multitude of valuable materials into its body aimed to ensure that the puppet possessed a more powerful physique, able to contend with stronger cultivators.

Enhancing the Golden Elixir and the existing pathways from the beginning of its creation was to make the puppet’s offensive and defensive capabilities more formidable.

Only then could the strength of a Gold Core Puppet continue to advance.

However, for He Song,

providing the Taiyin Puppet with copious spirit Qi and merging it into the Golden Elixir within the puppet,

as well as enhancing the Golden Elixir and the internal pathways,

and purchasing a large amount of precious materials to fuse into the Taiyin Puppet’s body to strengthen it,

was not particularly difficult.

It just meant that the time consumed to infuse the vast spirit Qi into the Golden Elixir within the Taiyin Puppet was not short.

Even so, He Song did not mind it overly much.

If it took time, then let it take a bit longer, as long as the Taiyin Puppet was formed, there was no longer any need to stay within the Yin Yang Rebirth Array.

By that time, He Song could always take the Taiyin Puppet with him and let it continuously absorb dense spirit Qi, constantly becoming stronger.

As for the other two conditions, they weren’t overly demanding for He Song.

Enhancing the Golden Elixir of the Taiyin Puppet and the pathways was not a high degree of difficulty for He Song, who had mastered numerous skills.

With a bit of research, he could achieve results in just a few years at most.

And purchasing a large quantity of precious materials to fuse into the Taiyin Puppet’s body and enhance its physique strength,

merely meant spending more spirit stones.

For He Song, who could continuously earn ample spirit stones through his skills from the outside world,

these materials, though valuable, could always be obtained as long as he was willing to spend the spirit stones.

At most, he would simply have to attend more large-scale auctions or exchange meets between Golden Elixir Masters to get what he needed from other Golden Elixir Masters.
