Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 370 The Young Puppet
Chunli's confidence has some merit.

Zhao Wuxiang and the Divine Calculator were now being kept out of Yixian Lake. The scene before them overlapped with the entrance to Yixian Lake, and they couldn't find a way in for a long time.

Ke Yunyi's concerns were not without merit.

It was all because an inconspicuous young man from the Wen family arrived at the entrance on the ferry without alerting anyone.

He skillfully found the connection between the world in the painting and the real world, tore a gap from there, and then ripped out a hole.

The young man looked at the two people from the Overturning Heaven Pavilion in front of him with an arrogant expression and a tone full of disdain.

"They can't even break through this level of illusion; they're truly useless."

Despite the old-fashioned tone, Zhao Wuxiang and the Divine Calculator dared not harbor any resentment. Instead, they respectfully greeted Lord Pojun.

There are three Ascension Realm cultivators in the Overturning Heaven Pavilion, each with a different personality. Among them, Xiao Buyi is the most genuine martial artist. He dislikes formalities and treats his companions regardless of their cultivation level, as long as they are compatible.

But this does not mean that the other two ascending realm cultivators have similar personalities.

Take, for example, the mysterious Po Jun. Apart from the Pavilion Master, no one knows who he is. All that is known is that he cultivates the "Heavenly Puppet Path," and is most skilled at seizing other people's bodies and turning them into his own without their knowledge.

Compared to Zhao Wuxiang's "Wuxiang Dao", "Tiankui Dao" can control multiple people at the same time, including demonic beasts.

The strength of a puppet is limited by the strength of its host, but its advantage lies in the fact that these celestial puppets will not cause backlash upon death. Po Jun, on the other hand, possesses the strength of the Ascension Realm and can command multiple Dao Integration Realm celestial puppets.

This way, one can also conserve one's own spiritual energy. No wonder the Overturning Heaven Pavilion Master spent a lot of effort to subdue this person.

Clearly, the young man from the Wen family in front of him was a "heavenly puppet." He looked no different from an ordinary person, but in reality, his appearance had already changed.

The Celestial Puppet is not made from any precious material, but rather refined from someone's tendons, blood, bones, qi, and muscles. It has no life; even if it is shattered into pieces, it can gradually recover to its original state as long as the original body remains alive.

Compared to Xiao Buyi's awe-inspiring Vajra Dharma Form, the Heavenly Puppet is numerous, immortal, and even more persistent.

It is unknown how long this celestial puppet from Yixian Lake has been buried in the Wen family's home.

The arrogant young Tiankui ordered, "Later, the Wen family patriarch will separate Bai Ze from Tianzhu. At that time, I will be responsible for attacking Tianzhu, and you two will take the opportunity to destroy the Wen family."

"Remember, do not harm the nine-tailed fox's body. I intend to turn her into a celestial puppet."

As one of the rarest bloodlines among the ancient demon race, Po Jun has coveted Chun Li for a long time and has always wanted to refine her to see if he can create a puppet that can switch freely between human and demon forms.

Zhao Wuxiang and the Divine Calculator exchanged a glance, and the former mustered his courage and said, "Perhaps the two of us alone are... not up to the task."

"Hmph, that's why I said you two are both useless. If I weren't busy dealing with Tianzhu, I wouldn't need you to lift a finger."

"Lord Po Jun is right!" The fortune teller was extremely skilled at flattery, which meant he must have had a lot of dealings with Po Jun before.

Po Jun lightly flicked his sleeve and threw out a black puppet, which grew taller in the wind, instantly becoming ten feet tall.

The magical artifact is called "Xuanjia Puppet," which was forged by Po Jun from fragments of ancient immortal corpses. It is incredibly hard, impervious to water and fire, and indestructible by swords and blades.

The armored puppet was tall and unarmored, but its two fists were covered in a precious light, giving it an imposing presence.

Zhao Wuxiang couldn't help but compare himself to the puppet, thinking that unless he immediately refined the cultivation left behind by the Ascension Realm expert, he really wouldn't be able to do anything about this Xuanjia puppet.

It cannot be killed or destroyed; its troublesome nature is comparable to that of a mental demon.

The young Tiankui left behind his magical artifact and then headed deeper into Yixian Lake. He wasn't in a hurry to travel, but was waiting for Bai Ze and Tianzhu to separate.

Po Jun had his own reasons for acting this way. If he killed Bai Ze directly, he could release Tian Zhu, but if Bai Ze died, the Wen family would most likely launch a full-scale counterattack.

The other members of the Wen family are not a threat, but Wen Daoxian, who is at the Dao Integration Realm, and Ancestor Chunli are somewhat troublesome.

However, if Chunli were to use her magic to save Bai Ze first, they could restrain the Wen family patriarch without lifting a finger.

Although Po Jun didn't take those Dao Integration Realm cultivators seriously, Xiao Buyi was now dead, and the Futian Pavilion had suffered a great loss of strength. He needed to conserve some of his power.

War between the two great dynasties of Great Xia and Great Yan is imminent, and the righteous path is also planning to join forces to wipe out the Demonic Sect.

If it can save some effort, why not?

He was a man of deep thoughts, but he used a puppet that resembled a young boy, and his posture of standing with his hands behind his back looked rather strange.

Although Zhao Wuxiang and the Divine Calculator also found it strange, they only dared to follow obediently behind, not daring to utter a single word.

He was terrified that he might offend Lord Po Jun with a single word and be turned into a Heavenly Puppet as well.

……

On the Pillow Cloud Terrace, everyone had drawn up the battle formation diagram, and everything was ready.

Unexpectedly, Chunli suddenly stretched and said lazily, "How about we do it tomorrow?"

Yun Yi said helplessly, "Aunt Chun, I'm afraid things might change if we wait too long."

Wen Daoxian chimed in, "Our ancestor, please reconsider!"

"Sigh, young people really don't know how to cherish the elderly. Oh well, let's finish everything today."

Chunli yawned again, raising her hand to lightly cover her lips. However, as she lowered her hand, her expression changed, revealing an indescribable aura of a thousand-year-old fox spirit.

Her long, snow-white hair moved without wind, her raven-feather skirt was also ruffled, and the crimson between her brows was as solid as blood, as if it would drip at any moment.

The nine-tailed fox formed hand seals and unleashed its full power in the spell. Its nine tails instantly swelled up, swaying wildly in the wind, exuding an eerie aura.

The golden beast in front of her was first lifted into the air by a mysterious force, and then enveloped by a bell-shaped phantom, keeping its body and soul solidified.

Bai Ze found it strange and made a few soft whimpering sounds.

Immediately afterwards, it felt the power in its body begin to drain away rapidly, as if its soul was being gently peeled and torn off, and pain instantly spread throughout its body.

Chunli said sternly, "Little one, bear with it."

Unlike the Divine Calculator who used his supernatural powers to cause the "Heavenly Pillar" to reveal its true form, Chunli now had to separate the two that had already merged into one. Her movements were gentle yet decisive, for fear of accidentally hurting Bai Ze.

Time passed slowly, and before she knew it, she was covered in sweat.

Seeing this, Yun Yi thought to himself that Aunt Chun's words were easy to make, but in reality, it was far from simple. After all this trouble, let alone fighting with others, just recovering his cultivation would take quite a while.

Thinking about it this way, the moment when Tianzhu and Bai Ze completely separate will be the best time for Futian Pavilion to attack Yixian Lake.

At the same time, the young Tiankui gazed at the Pillow Cloud Terrace and had the same thought.
