Thinking of this, Ning Cheng put down all his thoughts and placed his entire mind on the human puppet he had taken out.
For other Dan Saints, perhaps it would be over here. He was different from others, just because he cultivated the Xuanhuang Origin Technique, Xuanhuang Without Form. Formless and phantomless, as long as there is something tangible, it will be unmistakably visible in his derivation, clear and unmistakable.
The only worry was whether he could comprehend the Puppet Technique and break the crystal ban on this medicinal garden before the sand leak ended.
Ning Cheng’s mind was completely immersed in the human-shaped puppet that he had blasted, and his divine sense broke through the obstructing prohibitions in the puppet little by little without the slightest concern. The Dark Underworld Devouring God had given Ning Cheng a huge help at this time. Some of the prohibitions that others had to slowly peel away were broken straight away under his tearing divine sense.
When Ning Cheng was caught in the midst of the Xuan Huang Wu Xiang’s deduction, the Xuan Huang Origin Qi almost completely surrounded him, and the means of refining the puppet gradually took shape in Ning Cheng’s mind.
At this moment, the entire Pill Garden was unusually silent except for the sound of leaking sand.
Ning Cheng was not only a Dan Saint, he was equally as strong as a weapon refiner. Although the Mechanic Puppet Technique was separate, it still belonged to a branch of weapon refining.
With the help of Origin Derivation, Ning Cheng opened his eyes once again after just the greater part of an hour. He knew that he could now completely refine a human-shaped puppet out of it alone.
However, there was no half surprise in Ning Cheng’s eyes, just because he could refine a puppet, did not mean that he could break this puppet crystal cover.
This was because he had figured out the method of refining the puppet, but not how the puppet provided Divine Spirit Yuan Qi, nor did he understand why the six humanoid puppets could recover quickly.
Without understanding all of these, even if he could refine the humanoid puppets, it would still be in vain. What’s more, the grade of the humanoid puppets he could refine now was too weak. It was not at all on the same level as the six humanoid puppets he had dealt with before.
I was afraid that even if he figured out how the humanoid puppet’s divine spirit energy was provided, or even how it was restored, he would still be unable to break the crystal ban that had been refined by puppet means in front of him through the puppet techniques he had learned in the past half an hour.
No matter in theory or in practice, he was unable to accomplish this daunting task. Unless he had the kind of time array disk he had spoken to Cang Wei about, unfortunately that kind of thing was too precious, or at least he had never seen one.
Ning Cheng sighed as he threw out all the other five ruined humanoid puppets in his ring. Again, he studied this pile of humanoid puppets for half a pillar of time.
Seeing the sand on the hourglass getting smaller and smaller, Ning Cheng’s heart was getting more and more anxious, he sighed and finally gave up on continuing to study the puppet art, instead, he transmitted a divine sense to the Crowded Ghost Vine King, “Crowded Ghost Vine, when you were wrapping around these puppets before, did you find anything unusual?”
The Wu Meditation Ghost Vine was immersed in the joy of its great increase in strength, as long as it could successfully cross the tribulation out there, it would become a Starry Sky Grade 9 Demon Vine. This was only how much time had passed and it was almost at the ninth level of Starry Sky. Compared to the long years of its own growth back then, it would be laughing out loud in its dreams now.
This followed behind its master, no, it should be called Master, this was what Brother Chasing Ox had greeted. As long as it followed behind its master, it might even have the chance to shape its dao and become a human form.
Now that Ning Cheng asked, how could it dare to be lazy, it hurriedly transmitted a divine thought over, it wanted to tell the old master all that it knew.
These humanoid puppets could absorb wood origin attribute divine energy, and they had a starry sky demon plant inside them, called the Invisible Stone Stem.
A lightning bolt instantly crossed Ning Cheng’s mind, as if something was about to be seized by him, he stood up abruptly and asked eagerly, “What is that Invisible Stone Stem?”
The divine thoughts of the Wu Hei Ghost Vine came again, “The Invisible Stone Stem is an extremely rare starry sky demon plant, and this demon plant is very bizarre. There is only one stone like seed, and the stone stem that sprouts and grows is invisible. The longest invisible stone stems can extend their formless roots hundreds of miles into the starry sky.
The easiest way to exterminate the invisible stems is to suck all the vital energy out of the seeds of the invisible stems. This way the Formless Stone Stem will die completely and will no longer be able to absorb Divine Spirit Yuan Yuan Qi, which is what I did.”
Ning Cheng laughed out loud, what was the meaning of getting it all out? This was it. He had thought of all the means, but he just hadn’t thought that this human puppet was powered by the seeds of the invisible stone stem. That great power had controlled the way these invisible stone stems grew when refining these humanoid puppets. So that they could only form invisible stems inside the puppets, and these stems were like the veins and meridians of the human body, providing the puppets with movement.
Even if he dried and shattered the puppet, as long as it did not absorb all the divine spiritual energy within the seeds of the invisible stone stems, it could absorb divine spiritual energy and bring the humanoid puppet back to life again. He had also seen the invisible stone stem seed inside the puppet, he had always thought it was some blasted puppet material, but he had never expected it to be a demonic plant.
This guy who had refined the puppet was a genius, not only a genius, but he also knew the invisible stone stem very well and could even control the way it grew. It was a pity to have met his Wu Xia Ghost Vine King. This was because his Wu Xia Ghost Vine King was not of sufficient level, if it was of sufficient level, no matter how many of these humanoid puppets appeared, they would not be enough for the Wu Xia Ghost Vine King to suck.
Ning Cheng looked up at the leaking sand, there was still about an incense stick left. If he timed it tightly, he should still be able to open the Dao Fruit Garden Gate on the fourth level of the Illusory Fruit Garden in time before the sand leakage was complete.
When he did not know the means of this crystal prohibition, Ning Cheng was not able to do anything about it. Now that he knew that this crystal prohibition was formed by invisible stone stems, he still had a way to deal with it even without the Crowded Ghost Vine, not to mention that he still had the Crowded Ghost Vine.
“Wu Hei, this crystal forbidden system is also formed by invisible stone stems, later on, I will use the formation to imprison the divine aura under this ground for a few breaths of time, you have to suck all these invisible stone stems to death in the shortest time possible.” Ning Cheng directly called out to the Crowded Ghost Vine King.
If the Crowded Ghost Vine King couldn’t do it, he could also break away these invisible stone stems, but I’m afraid that the time would be beyond one incense stick.
What the Wu Hei Ghost Vine King liked the most was the divine essence inside the seeds of the invisible stone stems, even if it couldn’t use it now, it could still be used when it was in its body, when it advanced to the ninth level of the Starry Sky Demon Plant.
While others could not find the existence of the Invisible Stone Stem for a while, the Crowded Ghost Vine King was not under half the pressure. So as soon as Ning Cheng called it out, it didn’t even wait for Ning Cheng to order it, its entire rootstalk stretched out, and soon the rootstalk of the Crowded Ghost Vine King covered the entire Crystal Restriction.
In just a few breaths of time, all the invisible stone stem seeds in this crystal forbidden system were locked by the Unmercurial Ghost Vine King. The crystal forbidden system emitted a buzzing tremor, and it was clear that these invisible stone stems also had some instinctive intelligence, as they sensed extreme danger.
Ning Cheng would not be half-hearted, a formation flag had long since been thrown out, and after just over ten breaths had passed, the divine aura around this crystal had weakened.
“Suck!” Ning Cheng let out a shout, and the Unmasked Ghost Vine King was frantically absorbing the wood origin attribute divine aura within the seed of the invisible stone stem.
The Invisible Stone Stems did not have much combat capability, and their greatest role was to assist. Whether it was to assist the humanoid puppet or to assist this crystal restraint. Aiding was their greatest skill.
Now that Ning Cheng had used the formation to isolate the underground divine vital energy, the Crowded Ghost Vine King was then so frantically absorbing the vital energy inside the seeds of the Formless Stone Stems.
In just less than half a column of time, this crystal restraint cracked open.
A few breaths later, with a “click”, the strange crystal restriction completely disappeared. The rich smell of divine Spirit Grass and the fresh fragrance of the Dao fruit were mixed together, making people feel new and fresh.
From the beginning until Ning Cheng opened this crystal prohibition, it could be said that the Puppet Technique could not be used at all. The glimmer of possibility left by that great power who had set up the Illusory Fruit Garden was a complete lie. He tricked people into wasting their time on researching the Puppetry Technique, and when an hour had passed, even if you had researched the Puppetry Technique, it would still be in vain.
Ning Cheng sighed, there really was a master for three people. He only had a Crowded Ghost Vine King, who could also teach him a lesson at this time, and had also helped him a great deal.
Breaking this crystal restriction, Ning Cheng did not even bother to think about it much and directly threw out one formation flag after another. He was going to remove this medicinal garden in its entirety, and he was not half embarrassed about it now.
It only took a few minutes for Ning Cheng to move this medicinal garden, and in a burst of clicking sounds, he directly moved this medicinal garden into the True Spirit World.
The Pill Garden was moved, and all the divine Spirit Grasses and Dao Fruits in the Pill Garden were moved. Ning Cheng, however, was dumbfounded, as the fourth level entrance gate of the Illusory Fruit Garden did not appear in front of him as he had imagined.
Looking at the leaking sand which was only less than half a pillar of incense, Ning Cheng’s heart was anxious. Even if he found the door to the fourth level entrance of the Illusory Fruit Garden, I was afraid that he would not have time to refine the pills to open the door.
Ning Cheng’s divine sense did not hold back half a minute as he blasted out one by one. The powerful divine sense attacking ability was evident at this time.
More than ten breaths later, a concealment ban appeared in Ning Cheng’s divine sense. Ning Cheng didn’t even think about it and threw a formation flag over. Now that he could not find his way there, he would not let go of any place that had the possibility of entering the fourth level of the Illusory Fruit Garden.
This concealment prohibition was not powerful and was revealed in a short time under Ning Cheng’s array flags. It was an orchard, a Dao fruit garden to be exact, as it was all filled with Dao fruit trees.
Ning Cheng rushed over and looked at the rows of Dao Fruit Trees in front of him in shock; he roughly scanned them and there were fifty to sixty of them.
What was going on here? There was no fourth layer, no fifth layer, and no sixth layer. After he had broken through the crystal ban on the third level, so many Dao Fruits trees had appeared straight away, and the levels of these Dao Fruits trees ranged from Dao Fruits of Shaping to Dao Fruits of Transformation. There were even more than ten of them, and Ning Cheng couldn’t even recognise what kind of Dao Fruits they were.
I was afraid that this was where the essence of the Illusory Fruit Garden lay, and where the real Illusory Fruit Garden was.
Ning Cheng looked back at the sand leak, which was estimated to be not even a quarter of a column of incense.
Not good, Ning Cheng instantly understood. These Dao Fruits Gardens were linked together, so I guess he would still be teleported out once the sand leak ended.
