Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family

Chapter 1817: 465: Peerless Genius of the Puppet Dao! Peach Blossom Fate! (part 2)

...

”Hm?”

In a mountain cave, Lu Changsheng, whose body was flowing with Yin Yang energies, opened his eyes and looked at the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror in his arms.

These days, although he had the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng guarding outside, his real means was the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror!

Lacking the Sun and Moon Token and bloodline medium, it couldn’t provide Lu Changsheng with the detailed images he wanted, but it could still sense and monitor the Qi mechanism within a hundred miles.

As long as there was a strong Nascent Soul spiritual pressure or the Qi mechanism of a Fourth Rank Demon King approaching, the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror would alert him immediately.

Even if a cultivator used miraculous treasures to conceal the Qi mechanism, as long as they got close, it would be hard to escape the detection of the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror.

At this moment, the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror sensed a strong fluctuation coming this way.

Lu Changsheng immediately focused his divine sense into the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror to observe the situation.

Three hundred miles away, he saw several blurred figures fighting and moving in his direction.
With A Wu controlling the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror, the image gradually became clear.

”Is this a puppet battle formation?”

Lu Changsheng saw a man controlling thirteen puppets encircling and attacking two Core Formation Peak cultivators, a man and a woman.

Although using the Sun and Moon Taiji Mysterious Light Mirror, he couldn’t clearly sense the magic power mechanism, but by linking the thirteen puppets together to form a formation map, he could tell this was a puppet battle formation.

”A late-stage Core Formation cultivator controlling thirteen puppets, and at least of third rank middle grade... Oh, the heroes of the world are indeed as numerous as carp in the river.”

When it comes to puppetry and puppet battle formations, Lu Changsheng was naturally familiar.

However, crafting puppets was very time and material-consuming, with low returns, so he hadn’t upgraded his research after initially acquiring Second Rank puppet skills.

But he knew that the divine sense of a late-stage Core Formation cultivator could control up to seven or eight third-rank puppets at most.

Even at Core Formation Peak, controlling more than ten third-rank puppets was impossible.

As for thirteen puppets, could the soul possibly have reached Nascent Soul level?

If it weren’t for his early experiences in the Soul Path Dreams, condensing the Great Dao Golden Core, and awakening the Taiyi Soul Body, Lu Changsheng’s soul could never have reached Nascent Soul level in the late stage of Core Formation.

Therefore, he was very surprised that this person could achieve such a feat in the late stage of Core Formation.

”Indeed, those daring enough to enter the Vast Sand Illusion Realm as Core Formation cultivators have some skill and means to barely contend against Nascent Soul, otherwise, they wouldn’t have dared to enter.”

Though puppet battle formations suit positional battles,

this person’s thirteen puppets were extraordinary.

Not only did they form a puppet formation map, etching out intricate and dense formation light patterns, but the coordination between the puppets in terms of offense and defense was seamless and fluid.

His daughter Lu Wangshu had studied puppet battle formations for quite some time, but she could only link the Qi mechanisms and then act together, which was quite rigid compared to this person’s puppet battle formation.

The man and woman being besieged seemed to be a husband and wife duo, with great synergy.

Yet, under the entanglement of the thirteen puppets, they were heavily injured and could barely hold on, expressing their willingness to compensate.

But the man controlling the puppets ignored them and even unleashed a set of needle-like magical treasures to attack them.

”Damn, does this person truly have a Nascent Soul level soul?”

Lu Changsheng gasped in surprise.

He suddenly understood how others used to view him when he fought Nascent Soul cultivators at Core Formation.

This man, a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, not only controlled thirteen puppets but could also concentrate on manipulating treasures to kill?

Could this be any more outrageous?

But the more Lu Changsheng watched, the more he detected some clues.

Among the thirteen puppets was a top-level third-rank main puppet, which seemed to be the leader of the others.

”This person likely cultivates some sort of puppet cultivation technique similar to the ’Ninety-Nine Mystical Talisman Scripture’ that allows puppets to be refined as lifebound puppets, thereby lowering the threshold for controlling them.”

Lu Changsheng pondered silently.

The Lu Family’s fourth-rank puppet skills came from Tianyuan True Monarch.

They were ingenious but not the most top-level.

So Lu Changsheng speculated that the puppet battle formation and puppet control techniques of this person likely belonged to some top-level puppet cultivation technique.

Only in this way could it be explained how a Core Formation cultivator could control so many puppets.

A moment later, seeing the couple perish under the siege of the thirteen-puppet battle formation, Lu Changsheng lightly shook his head, uninterested in exploiting the black market scenario.

Although the man’s puppets suffered considerable damage, with some even showing signs of wear, Lu Changsheng wasn’t in full condition and didn’t want to create further trouble.

He watched as the man cleaned up the battlefield, retrieved the twelve puppets, and flew toward him with the main puppet, prompting Lu Changsheng to immediately employ the Reversal Yin Yang Glazed Glass Wall to conceal himself and the unconscious Lu Ping’an beside him.

However, as the man passed by, he seemed to notice the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng guarding not far from the cave. He exchanged a glance with the puppet beside him, then released the twelve puppets again.

”Damn!”

Lu Changsheng hadn’t expected the other party to eye the Golden Peng.

But it made sense upon reflection.

Of this man’s twelve puppets, eight resembled beast forms, evidently crafted from Demon King bones.

Seeing a Third Rank Demon King, how could he let it slip by, especially a Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng with such an extraordinary presence?

”Screech!”

Spotting the situation, the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng let out a long, clear screech, soaring into the sky, and asked Lu Changsheng if escape or battle was the better choice, as it could now distract these intruders.

”Since trouble has come knocking, why flee!”

Lu Changsheng simply didn’t wish for unnecessary trouble, but he was not afraid.

Though not at his peak condition, he wasn’t a pushover for just any Core Formation cultivator!

Besides, he admitted he was somewhat tempted by seeing thirteen third rank middle-grade puppets.
