Chapter 404 The Heavenly Puppet Ancestor!

However, Gu Yuan felt no sympathy or pity, because this guy was no good to begin with. Gu Yuan knew that at least several hundred people had died at the hands of Nightmare Child.

Moreover, the nightmare gods and demons in the furnace are related to his fundamental supernatural powers, so Gu Yuan naturally wouldn't show any mercy.

Two days later, Gu Yuan sensed that Cang Yunfei and Cang Yuejiao in the other two rooms had woken up. However, both of them had suffered some injuries, and after figuring out the situation, they did not disturb Gu Yuan.

Instead, he stayed in his room and began to heal.

As for Gu Yuan's Nine Dragon Furnace, the Nightmare God and Demon had now been refined into a pill about the size of a pigeon egg, round and smooth, as clear and translucent as black jade, without any impurities.

Furthermore, it also has some strange and unusual patterns on it.

Upon closer inspection, it clearly gives off a dizzying feeling.

Gu Yuan opened the furnace lid, extinguished the true fire within, and then took out the black jade pill inside.

The pill felt slightly cool to the touch and was not heavy, rather light. However, it was quite hard, and all the impurities such as yin energy and demonic energy had been removed, leaving only the essence that was beneficial to Gu Yuan.

It is called a pill rather than a spiritual pill because Gu Yuan refined it, but in the end he only concentrated it, which is somewhat different from refining a spiritual pill.

Then, Gu Yuan raised his hand and released a stream of Taiyuan True Qi, which enveloped the black jade pill and began to silently wear it down.

As his Taiyuan True Qi was worn down, the essence in the Moyu Pill began to merge into the Mirror Flower Water Moon Divine Channel Seed.

The Mirror Flower Water Moon Divine Path Seed originally appeared as a small gray-white disc, somewhat resembling a precious mirror, radiating an inexplicable aura.

However, as Gu Yuan consumed and digested the Ink Jade Pill, and activated the Mirror Flower Water Moon Divine Path Seed to devour its essence, the seed immediately began to undergo some changes.

Its surface color began to darken, becoming grayish, and then a layer of subtle, imperceptible iridescent light appeared on the surface.

As time went by, the color of the divine seed became deeper and deeper, tending towards the color of black jade, and the seven-colored light on its surface also became more and more intense.

Three days later, the black jade pill had shrunk to the size of a bean.

Click! Click! Click!

Gu Yuan circulated his true energy and crushed it. The Mirror Flower Water Moon Divine Path quickly devoured and absorbed the black light transformed from the shattered Ink Jade Pill.

Then, the light on the surface of this divine power seed began to contract and expand, like a heart beating, as if it were beginning to brew something.

Gu Yuan knew that the Mirror Flower Water Moon Divine Path Seed had absorbed enough nutrients, and it would take some time to fully refine and transform it.

Once the transformation is successful, some kind of change may occur.

For example, there is hope that it can evolve from a top-level supernatural power into the prototype of a great supernatural power.

In fact, Gu Yuan could already vaguely sense the changes in this divine power seed. He had a premonition that if he used the clone technique, he could last even longer!

Furthermore, having multiple clones makes it even harder for others to detect their presence.

It's even possible that this supernatural power might undergo other, more incredible changes.

But at that moment, a figure appeared in Gu Yuan's mind.

This figure was entirely dark gold, covered with various crisscrossing, strange and mysterious red patterns, resembling a human, but with three heads and six arms, exuding an eerie and unpredictable terrifying aura. Its three heads, the one on the left, were grotesque and ferocious, like a hungry ghost from hell; just one glance was enough to send chills down one's spine and instill fear in one's heart.

The woman on the right was alluring and seductive, her gaze capable of making one's bones ache and flesh go weak. But Gu Yuan clearly noticed that deep within her eyes lay an indifference and coldness that regarded all living beings as ants.

As for the one in the middle, he was a handsome middle-aged man with a calm expression and a faint smile on his lips.

His entire figure exuded an eerie and terrifying aura, making people tremble with fear and feel a chill down their spines.

"Boy, you're not bad, you actually killed my disciple..."

The middle-aged man smiled and looked at Gu Yuan with a seemingly calm but actually greedy gaze, the kind of greed that made him want to devour Gu Yuan alive!

"So Nightmare Child was the senior's apprentice."

Gu Yuan frowned at first, then smiled, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "What, I killed your disciple, but you don't seem very angry now?"

He showed no urgency or fear, because he could see that the terrifying figure before him was neither a true body nor an avatar or a split spirit, but merely a wisp of divine thought.

In other words, Gu Yuan only needed to use some methods to kill this wisp of divine thought here.

However, this wisp of divine thought was hidden very deeply. Even Gu Yuan, who had been refining it in the Nine Dragon Furnace for so long, was unable to burn it to ashes. This shows that the cultivation level of this wisp of divine thought, or rather, its owner, is absolutely unfathomable.

This being might actually be a Yin deity, or even a powerful Yang deity!

Of course, Gu Yuan could also see that the fact that a wisp of divine thought could conjure up such a bizarre three-headed, six-armed form indicated that this person also cultivated the path of gods and demons, and that his attainments were extremely high.

"I have quite a few disciples, and Nightmare was one of the less capable ones. But now that he's dead, all is well and there's no need to waste time and energy on him."

The middle-aged man smiled and spoke, his words cold and ruthless. Combined with his eerie and mysterious three-headed, six-armed body, he gave off an indescribable sense of dread.

Upon hearing this, a strange glint flashed in Gu Yuan's eyes. He curiously cupped his hands in greeting and asked, "Oh? May I ask your Dharma name, senior?"

"I am the Heavenly Puppet Ancestor."

The middle-aged demonic cultivator did not conceal his identity.

The Celestial Puppet Ancestor...

Gu Yuan muttered to himself, he had never heard of this name before.

However, this Heavenly Puppet Ancestor, whose Dharma name contains the words "Ancestor" and who is also the master of the Golden Core demon cultivator Nightmare, and who even said that Nightmare was useless, is definitely not simple.

"Senior's appearance shouldn't be for revenge for his disciple, right? Please speak plainly, senior."

Gu Yuan said with a smile, but in his heart, he became secretly on guard.

Although what we see before us is merely a wisp of the opponent's divine consciousness, the opponent's true form is not simple and we need to be wary.

"Young man, I see that your foundation is extremely solid, your cultivation is pure, and even your physique is exceptionally strong. Yet, you have not yet advanced to the Golden Core realm. It seems you have grand ambitions. Why not become my disciple?"

The Heavenly Puppet Ancestor spoke in a seductive tone:
