Chapter 234 Cultivation World 23
Si Lingle did not break the restriction, but only opened a gap in it so that she could enter.

Si Lingle looked around; it was a cave dwelling.

This cave dwelling consists of only one room, which is very simple: a stone table, a stone stool, and a stone bed.

Si Lingle walked to the stone bed, which had a spatial array on it.

After more than ten minutes, Si Lingle broke through the spatial array and entered the real cave.

In front of this cave dwelling stands a tall battle golem, made of hard metal and mysterious runes, exuding a cold yet powerful aura.

This combat puppet was made from precious materials, and the person who made it must have been an extremely skilled weapon refiner.

Si Lingle held the Qingchu Sword and slowly moved forward.

Suddenly, the combat puppet came to life, and its aura changed, its cultivation level becoming the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage.

The combat puppet drew a huge longsword from its side, the blade gleaming with a cold light, and slashed fiercely at Si Lingle with a whooshing sound.

This strike was powerful and heavy, as if it could split the air in two.

Si Lingle quickly dodged to the side, while simultaneously swinging her sword rapidly, drawing a sharp arc in an attempt to block the puppet's attack.

The sword and the knife clashed, producing a piercing metallic scraping sound and sparks flying everywhere.

Si Lingle felt a powerful force flowing through the sword, and her arm went slightly numb, but thanks to her superb swordsmanship and agile movements, she still stood firmly in place.

Seeing that its first strike missed, the combat puppet immediately adjusted its posture and launched another attack.

Although its movements were somewhat stiff, each attack contained immense power, and the flashing blades were dazzling.

Si Lingle nimbly weaved through the flashing blades, her eyes fixed on the puppet's movements, searching for an opportunity to counterattack.

She continuously wielded her sword, its energy crisscrossing, deflecting the puppet's attacks one by one.

After dodging the puppet's multiple attacks, Si Lingle finally found an opportunity.

Seizing the moment when the puppet's attack faltered, she lunged forward, her sword flashing like a nimble white snake as she thrust towards the puppet's chest.

This sword strike was extremely fast, carrying a sharp and fierce momentum.

The puppet seemed to sense the danger and tried to defend itself with its knife, but Si Lingle's sword was faster.

The sword tip struck the puppet's chest precisely, producing a crisp sound.

However, the puppet's body was extremely tough, and the sword only left a shallow scratch on its chest.

The puppet, in pain, roared angrily and swung its knife even more wildly.

Si Lingle quickly retreated, increasing the distance between herself and the puppet.

As the sword energy was released, many sword shadows appeared in the air.

These sword shadows each demonstrate different moves from Tai Chi swordplay, and they swirl around the puppet like nimble fish.

Then, all the sword shadows attacked the puppet, forming a dense sword net.

The puppet tried to swing its longsword to block the sword shadows, but there were just too many sword shadows, and it was overwhelmed.

Many sword strikes still landed on the puppet, the clanging sounds of the blows echoing incessantly, and the puppet was forced to retreat steadily.

Just when Si Lingle thought victory was in sight, the puppet suddenly changed.

Its runes shone brightly, and its power and speed increased instantly.

It brandished its longsword, shattering the surrounding sword intent, and then charged towards Si Lingle.

Si Lingle was caught off guard as the puppet suddenly became stronger.

She tried to dodge again, but the puppet was too fast and slashed her shoulder with its blade.

Si Lingle let out a muffled groan as her body was slashed and sent flying backward.

She fell heavily to the ground, feeling a sharp pain in her shoulder.

Before she could even stand up, the puppet had already rushed in front of her and raised its long sword to strike again.

Si Lingle hurriedly used her sword to defend herself, but the immense force almost made her arm go numb.

She gritted her teeth and tried her best to hold on, but she gradually became powerless.

Si Lingle quickly threw out a talisman, a sixth-tier talisman that exploded right next to the puppet.

Si Lingle herself was also blasted away by the talisman.

As the projectiles exploded, Si Lingle quickly scattered thorn seeds and spirit seeds, casting a wood-based spell that caused the thorn seeds to grow rapidly.

The thorns, like whips, lashed out at the puppet.

The whip drew an arc in the air and struck the puppet hard.

However, for a puppet that has just become stronger, such an attack is nothing more than a tickle.

The puppet continued its attack without a care. It swung its blade hard, cutting the thorny whip in half, and then charged towards Si Lingle.

Si Lingle quickly dodged, but the puppet attacked very fast. After Si Lingle dodged, it immediately switched hands and delivered a heavy punch. Si Lingle felt a tremendous force coming from it, and her body flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Si Lingle lay on the ground, panting heavily. She felt that her strength was almost exhausted, but her eyes remained firm.

She knew this was a battle she couldn't afford to lose; if she lost, she would be killed by this puppet.

She gritted her teeth and struggled to her feet.

He immediately activated the Spirit Seed, which landed at the joint of the puppet when the thorny vine whip struck it.

The Spirit Seeds quickly took root and sprouted at the puppet's joints, while the Spirit Grass Roots rapidly wrapped around the puppet's body, directly occupying the core of the puppet.

The puppet raised its long sword high, ready to deliver a fatal blow to Si Lingle.

However, it was already immobilized before the fatal blow could be delivered.

Si Lingle's sword pierced the core of the puppet like lightning, striking it precisely and producing a violent explosion.

The puppet's body began to sway, and the light from the runes on its body gradually dimmed.

The combat puppet crashed to the ground, unable to move any further.

Due to the immense physical exertion, Si Lingle had to plant her sword in the ground to support her body, panting heavily.

After the combat puppet fell, the door opened.

A ghostly figure appeared: "Passed the first test."

After speaking, the phantom disappeared.

Si Lingle took the pills and the spiritual milk, and after an hour of meditation, her injuries healed.

Si Lingle put away the combat puppet and then went inside.

Once inside, the door closed automatically.

After it was closed, the array beneath Si Lingle's feet suddenly lit up.

An illusion appeared before Si Lingle.

This illusion is the phantom from before refining a weapon.

Si Lingle watched intently, recording the refining process of the illusory figure.

This phantom is crafting a puppet.

Six months later, the illusion disappeared, and a refining furnace and various puppet materials appeared in front of Si Lingle.

Si Lingle understood; this meant she was to create a puppet.

Si Lingle released the Nine Netherworld Flame and began refining and forging the weapon.

Not long after Si Lingle began refining weapons, Old Demon Feng Hao captured another cultivator, broke the restrictions, and entered.

After entering, they also discovered the spatial array and entered the space.

Upon entering this space, the two found themselves in different areas, each facing the same puppet. These puppets automatically increased in rank based on the cultivator's level.

This old demon Feng Hao is in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and the combat puppet he is fighting is in the Void Refinement stage.

The cultivator captured by the old demon Feng Hao was in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, while the combat puppet's cultivation was at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul realm.

A human, a demon, and a battle puppet engage in a fierce battle.

The human and the demon also defeated the battle puppet.

They then saw the same illusion.

Neither the human nor the demon knows how to forge weapons.

Not all cultivators are proficient in the Four Arts, and the level of the Four Arts is not low.

Some cultivators focus on one art and feel that learning the other four arts is a waste of time.

This old demon Feng Hao is just like that. He focuses on cultivating demonic arts. As for the four arts, he knows a little about alchemy, but he is completely ignorant of the other three arts.

As for the cultivators captured by the old demon Feng Hao, they didn't know how to refine weapons.

They didn't want to see this illusion and wanted to break free from this space to leave, but they couldn't find a way to escape.

It took Si Lingle more than five years to create a combat puppet at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Si Lingle's weapon-refining skills have also broken through to the seventh level.

After creating the combat puppet, the phantom reappeared: "Passed the second test."

Si Lingle was then teleported to the real cave.

The phantom appeared and said, "This immortal lord's Daoist name is Zhongqi, a disciple of the Hundred Battles Sect. I entered the Dao through weapon crafting and later learned puppet crafting. Now I am looking for a successor to pass on the crafting of weapon puppets."

Si Lingle immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Disciple Yunhua greets Master."

The illusory figure smiled and cast a spell, which added some things to Si Lingle's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Disciple, this storage ring is a gift from your master as a formal apprenticeship gift. Cultivate diligently and ascend to the Immortal Realm." With that, the illusory figure vanished.

After Si Lingle received the inheritance, Feng Hao the Old Demon and another cultivator were teleported out of the cave.

Fortunately, the teleportation was random, and the cultivator's life was saved.

However, apart from his natal weapon, everything else on him was taken by the old demon Feng Hao.

Whether they survive or not depends on luck.

After receiving the inheritance, Si Lingle accepted the storage ring given to her by the Immortal Lord of Heavy Artifacts.

This storage ring contains tens of thousands of low-grade immortal crystals, twenty mid-grade immortal crystals, a lot of materials for refining puppets, three immortal artifacts, and ten bottles of immortal pills.

There are only two kinds of elixirs in the ten bottles: one is for treating and recovering from injuries, and the other is for cultivation.

She had obtained a bottle of the elixir for healing injuries when she cleared the sealed area.

She gave half of the elixir to her master as a sign of respect. This elixir was for saving lives, and Si Lingle would not use it unless absolutely necessary.

As for the immortal artifact obtained at that time, it was an offensive immortal artifact. Although the immortal artifact was powerful, it also consumed a great deal of spiritual power and divine sense to activate.

Therefore, Si Lingle would not use it lightly.

Si Lingle decided not to rush out and planned to stay in the cave for a while longer.

As for the immortal crystals obtained, Si Lingle fed them to the Reincarnation Realm, giving it a thousand low-grade immortal crystals, which repaired all the large cracks in the Reincarnation Realm.

Si Lingle continued to feed the Reincarnation Realm, adding another thousand low-grade immortal crystals, but the tiny cracks in the Reincarnation Realm were still not completely repaired.

Si Lingle stopped feeding it; she felt that even if she continued to feed it, the tiny cracks in the Reincarnation Realm wouldn't be completely repaired.

It feels like something else is needed to fix it.

[Master, if you want me to be completely repaired, you need to go to the Ghost Realm and find the Yellow Spring Stone. I need the Yellow Spring Stone to repair it.]
Suddenly, a child's voice appeared in Si Lingyue's sea of ​​consciousness.

It is the awakening of the spirit in the Samsara Realm.

"Alright, after we leave the Heavenly Palace, I'll go to the Ghost Realm to find the Yellow Spring Stone to repair you."

[How I miss my master.]
After exchanging words with the Samsara Realm expert, Si Lingle sat down to begin her cultivation.

After three years of cultivation, Si Lingle's cultivation level reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage.

After the upgrade, Si Lingle left the cave and went to find the exit. After finding it, Si Lingle went to a space in a fire world.

This space was filled with flames, even the ground was engulfed in flames, and these flames were quite powerful.

After the Nine Netherworld Flame arrived in this space, it became unusually active.

After flying for several days, Si Lingle sensed the unusual movement of the Nine Netherworld Flame.

Si Lingle headed in the direction that the Nine Netherworld Flame wanted to go, and soon she arrived at a huge lava cave.

Upon entering the lava cave, Si Lingle donned her defensive magical artifact and jumped into the magma.

Upon entering the magma, the Nine Netherworld Flame flew out from the dantian and pounced on a strange flame, quickly devouring it.

Si Lingle did not shut down the Nine Netherworld Flame; instead, she headed downstream towards the lava.

She discovered fire-attribute spirit lotion and fire-attribute spirit crystals. Si Lingle collected the spirit lotion, and there was a whole bottle of it.

Then they started mining spirit crystals.

Although the automatic excavator built by Si Lingle could withstand high temperatures, the temperature of this magma was even higher than that of the magma in the Qingxuan Lower Realm. Therefore, Si Lingle did not take out the automatic excavator, but dug by himself.

After digging for more than an hour, the Nine Netherworld Flame flew back and fell asleep in her dantian.

It took Si Lingle more than a month to finally finish digging out all the fire-type spirit crystals.

These fire-type spirit crystals are of very high quality; almost all of them are top-grade, and there are quite a few exceptional ones as well.

Si Lingle has made a fortune.

For a month, the Nine Netherworld Flame remained dormant. Having devoured too many other flames, it was about to advance after this period of slumber.

Si Lingle continued exploring this fiery space.

A scorching wind, carrying the pungent smell of sulfur, rushed towards them, and Si Lingle's robes fluttered in the heat.

Her gaze pierced through the swirling crimson mist and locked onto the center of the lava pool—a fiery red Crystal Lotus.

The crystal core condensed at the lotus heart pulsates like a heart, and each tremor causes the magma to boil, as if echoing the most primordial fire law in the world.

Si Lingle flew toward the Flame Soul Crystal Lotus, about to reach out and pluck it, when the ground beneath her feet suddenly cracked, lava gushed forth like a waterfall of blood, and a deafening roar exploded from the ground.

boom!
A five-zhang-long red-scaled dragon beast burst out of the rock, its spine covered with barbs, its eyes like two molten suns, and the saliva dripping from its mouth burned deep pits in the rock.

With a sweep of its tail, the magma surged like a giant wave, carrying rubble and hurtling towards Si Lingle.

Si Lingle retreated rapidly, wielding the Qingchu Sword. She swung the sword, and the sword energy transformed into a stream of light, slashing towards the dragon beast's reverse scale. However, with a "clang," the sword's edge only grazed the scale, producing sparks.

The dragon beast raised its head and roared, and strange blue-white flames burst from the gaps in its scales. It was the legendary "Earth Core Flame Marrow," and the air distorted into vortexes wherever it passed.

Si Lingle's expression changed slightly. She flipped her hand and summoned three Ice Soul Talismans. The moment the frost collided with the flames, it exploded into a cloud of steam, obscuring the dragon beast's vision.

Taking advantage of the situation, Si Lingle leaped to a high point on the rock face.

Si Lingle took out the array plate and, with the power of the lava veins, set up the Nine Revolutions Fire Array.

In an instant, the magma seemed to be summoned, transforming into nine fire pythons that coiled around the dragon beast. Meanwhile, the earth fire spiritual energy where the crystal lotus was located was drawn away by the formation, and the scales around the dragon beast gradually dimmed.

The dragon beast was enraged and tore at the fire python with its fangs, but Si Lingle seized the opportunity and unleashed the ice-type magic weapon, the Xuanbing Cone.

This item is forged from millennia-old cold jade and is specifically designed to counter fire-type demonic beasts. When a single piercing penetrates the weak point of the dragon beast's reverse scale on its lower jaw, the chilling aura spreads along its blood vessels, suppressing the strange fire around its body until it flickers unpredictably.

The dragon beast howled and rolled, and Si Lingle seized the opportunity to fly to the side of the crystal lotus. He gathered water and wood elemental spiritual power in his palm and put the crystal core into the jade box.

The lava pool collapsed with a roar, and Si Lingle quickly fled. As for the dragon beast, Jiu Jiu delivered the final blow and collected its corpse.
