Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 454: Worry about the East Sea, Wanting to Refine the Avatar

Speaking of the monks of the great sect.

Since the initial visit, Zhang Wanjun has occasionally received letters for communication over the years.

Although they were just greetings or discussions about ordinary practical matters and spiritual cultivation, and did not involve anything important, such interactions did bring the two closer together and they became good friends.

During this period, he even came to visit in person again.

However, this time Luo Yuzheng was not present, so she took the initiative to mention the matter of the boundary barrier, saying that the boundary barrier has become increasingly weak over the years, and even Nascent Soul cultivators can pass back and forth if they are willing to pay enough.

In recent years, both the trade between southern Xinjiang and other regions, as well as the trade between the East China Sea, Zhongzhou and Western Desert, have become quite active.

Cultivators from various domains, each with their own unique techniques and abilities, began to appear in southern Xinjiang.

However, Li Ye's four-country land was able to be like this. Although the boundary was weak, no cultivators from other realms showed up. He was really lucky.

Li Ye naturally knew what the woman meant, but he just smiled bitterly in response, saying that his area was blocked by the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. Even if the boundary barrier was no longer a major obstacle, the cultivators from the East China Sea might not choose this place as a breakthrough point to contact the southern border.

Unless the boundary barrier is weaker, enough for the cultivators of the two domains to pass through easily without paying too much cost, perhaps some Jindan and Yuanying cultivators are willing to take such a risk and choose this dangerous place as a clever strategy to come to Southern Xinjiang.

Zhang Wanjun burst out laughing when she heard this.

As the boundary barriers loosened and receded, and with the emergence of a Nascent Soul cultivator like Li Ye, the land of the Four Kingdoms was no longer as insignificant as before.

At least the Tiantuo Sect and the Seven Demon Mountains, who had some special ideas about the Four Kingdoms, had already regularly sent monks to this area.

It was not for any other purpose, but just to investigate the boundary barrier between Pingyang Mountain and this place.

However, later on, they discovered that Pingyang Mountain was a local tyrant in this place and there was really no movement at all. Li Zhenjun also rarely left the mountain gate. He could only be seen appearing in person to preside over the regular sowing.

It doesn't seem to make much sense to pay too much attention to the movements of someone who is so diligently practicing in the mountains.

Therefore, the mission of those monks sent to the four countries was basically completed, which was to pay attention to the status of the boundary barriers.

However, due to the existence of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains, this route is too difficult to take, even though there is still a part of the border of the four countries that may be close to the sea and can be passed through.

The locations in both directions are quite tricky. Unless they have no choice, the cultivators from the East China Sea would probably not be willing to pass through here. Over the years, only a few Foundation Establishment cultivators have appeared here.

Most of them would flee in one direction as soon as they arrived. Even if they were intercepted, the information that could be obtained would be very limited, and most of it would be information that had already been circulated.

It doesn’t mean much nowadays.

Zhang Wanjun just hinted at it and didn't say anything more.

However, seeing that she seemed to have other ideas, Li Ye guessed that as crossing the boundary barriers became easier and easier, the Tiantuo Sect might have thought of sending people to the East China Sea.

However, if they get into trouble and flee back, his four-country land will likely bear the wrath of the East China Sea forces!
This is also something that requires careful consideration as to how to deal with it.

At this point, Li Ye had some thoughts about cultivating a clone and having it go to the East China Sea to find out the details of the neighboring forces on his behalf...

Even if the boundary barrier had receded, it wouldn't be easy for a Nascent Soul cultivator to pass through. Even a Golden Core cultivator might encounter considerable resistance, making it difficult to pass through. It was just a few small fry in the Foundation Establishment stage, so Li Ye naturally didn't take it too seriously after learning some information from them.

But now the boundary barriers have become increasingly loose. Not only the East China Sea may pose a threat to itself, but also the Tiantuo Sect and the Seven Demon Mountains, which have ulterior motives for the East China Sea, may cause some trouble if they act rashly.

Li Ye naturally had to take some precautions, or simply change his identity in advance and establish connections with the nearby forces in the East China Sea. In this way, if the two sects suddenly did something risky, he could be prepared.

"After all these years, my puppet has searched several countries but still has no harvest. Otherwise, I could just send him there and there would be no need to make any other plans..."

Li Ye shook his head helplessly.

Although I know that simply trying my luck with magic in such a vast territory as Southern Xinjiang is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But considering the status of the Wood God Sect that dominated southern Xinjiang back then, even if all traces of the sect were wiped out, there should still be some hidden and stable secret realms left.

After searching through several countries without any results, perhaps I am just unlucky!
However, even if he wanted to cultivate another clone, simply splitting out a soul without a body with enough combat power to match it would still not be enough.

Over the years, he has never found suitable materials to refine his clone, so at this time, most likely only puppets can immediately become combat-ready.

But not every puppet can be compared with the natal puppet. Even if he spares no effort in training a fourth-order puppet and gives it to the split soul to use, its aura cannot be easily disguised as a real person like the natal puppet.

If we send him to the East China Sea in this way, it is only a matter of time before he is exposed in negotiations with others, which is extremely unfavorable.

"I thought I had a solid foundation in all arts, enough to handle all kinds of needs, but there's still something missing..."

Li Ye muttered to himself, stroking his chin. "Well, if we can cooperate and each take on some responsibilities, it doesn't seem impossible!"

"Using the puppet as the body's combat power, the poisonous insects and elixirs as the body's reactions and vitality, and then integrating it with a complete set of forbidden array runes, it's enough to achieve 70% to 80% of the effect of the natal puppet..."

The only problem is that if the skills are not sufficient, not only will it not be possible to form a complete system, but it will also reveal flaws at any time.

"Luckily I wasn't so worried!"

Laughing heartily, Li Ye glanced at the fourth-level skills on the panel. He already had some ideas in his mind, and he quickly perfected them while thinking.

It is difficult for him to gather the materials needed to make the puppet now.

Snapped!
Li Ye slapped his head with his hand. "What a pity! I've killed several Nascent Soul cultivators in the past without stopping. Their bodies were all destroyed by the divine thunder. Otherwise, if I had put them together, I could have at least refined a fourth-level flesh puppet..."

Even Xu Bo, who he had attacked with the least force and suppressed with the help of the evolution of the formation, was directly shattered into a pool of flesh and blood when the Wood God Cauldron suppressed and collected his Nascent Soul, leaving no trace of his body.

If you want to use it now, you can only make other plans.

Li Ye's thoughts were turning.

This matter probably depends on what the puppet clone has gained over the years...
