People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 193 The Great Thousand Inheritance, Spirit Array Master
In this strange land shrouded in white mist, eerie flames occasionally flicker in the distance, only to vanish in an instant. A deathly silence envelops this unfamiliar land.

laugh!
In the silent land, the space suddenly became distorted. Immediately, two figures holding hands slowly emerged from the space. When they appeared here, the fighting energy in the two people's bodies started to circulate almost at the same time. Their eyes were cautious. Gaze around.

"Is this the space inside the stone tablet?"

After looking around and finding nothing unusual, Little Fairy Doctor asked in a low voice with some doubt.

At this moment, everything in sight was hazy and the view was greatly limited, but it was still possible to make out that this seemed to be an extremely vast square, completely different from the scene that Chen Xiao's consciousness had previously glimpsed.

"These mists limit the soul's perception, and this may be the first test. We must find the right direction first, or we will never reach the core."

The importance of direction is undeniable; if the direction is wrong from the start, then no amount of effort will be in vain.

In such a foggy place, ordinary people would rely entirely on luck to choose a direction, but for Chen Xiao and Little Fairy Doctor, there was a simpler and more direct method.

"Xian'er, use the Netherworld Poison Fire. The two strange flames will sense each other within a certain distance, and they will definitely be able to sense the direction of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire."

Little Fairy Doctor nodded slightly, and with a thought, a ghostly green flame leaped up in her palm.

Under their watchful eyes, the flames flickered and tilted towards the northeast, as if kneeling in obeisance to a superior.

"This way!"

Chen Xiao nodded, "Let's go together!"

Although the high priest had said that traveling together might increase the difficulty of the test, Chen Xiao was worried about being separated from Little Fairy Doctor in this unfamiliar place.

After all, if he really encountered danger, he could use his last chance to escape, while Little Fairy Doctor could only tough it out.

Even though he was a Dou Zun, his strength was still considerable, but compared to the top expert who created this small world, the gap was still huge.

Therefore, it is actually safer to act together.

Using their soul perception to probe their surroundings, the two sped off towards the northeast.

However, even at their speed, after flying for more than ten minutes, they still couldn't leave the area of ​​the square, as if the square had no end.

laugh!laugh!laugh!
Just then, a sudden sound came from the depths of the mist, followed by nine puppets with silver limbs emerging stiffly from the mist and surrounding the two of them.

"Each of these human-level Heavenly Demon Puppets should be comparable to a high-level Dou Zong!"

The quality of the Heavenly Demon Puppet is easy to identify; it can be distinguished by its surface color.

Without the slightest hesitation, Little Fairy Doctor flicked her finger and a burst of fighting spirit shot out, striking the puppet's body squarely.

In an instant, the puppet was struck as if by lightning and crashed into the mist. But soon, the puppet emerged from it again, its chest caved in.

Strangely, despite being attacked like this, the group of puppets still did not launch an attack.

"Xian'er, wait a moment."

Seeing that Little Fairy Doctor was about to make another move, Chen Xiao quickly stopped her.

Just then, a yellowed parchment floated out from the depths of the mist and flew straight toward the two of them.

Little Fairy Doctor caught it, glanced at it, and handed it to Chen Xiao.

"Nine Palaces Unite into One Formation, gathering the power of nine high-level Dou Zong, can unleash strength comparable to an ordinary one-star Dou Zun. It is based on nine puppets, and can be controlled by leaving talismans inside their bodies. It is limited to three days. Once the deadline is up, the puppets will suddenly rise up."

"The talisman is a special seal technique I created by relying on the inheritance I once received and combining it with the characteristics of the Dou Qi Continent. It is condensed by combining soul power with Dou Qi, and can control puppets and create arrays with a single thought..."

Looking at the description on the parchment and the method of condensing the talisman, Chen Xiao and Little Fairy Doctor were both amazed.

Chen Xiao, in particular, felt a strong sense of déjà vu about this.

Before entering this place, Chen Xiao heard the high priest talk about that powerful person who was skilled in array formations. He could easily set up a large array that could trap several top experts. At that time, Chen Xiao thought of the spirit array masters in the Great Thousand World on the Dou Qi Continent!

After all, the application of this kind of formation is fundamentally different from that of the Dou Qi Continent.

Now that he sees this so-called talisman, Chen Xiao is increasingly suspicious that the powerful figure once received the inheritance of a spirit array master from the Great Thousand World!
The Dou Qi Continent is vastly different from the Great Thousand World. The methods used by spirit array masters may not be applicable to the Dou Qi Continent. Therefore, it is quite possible to modify the spirit seals to make them suitable for the Dou Qi Continent.

"Nine Palaces Return to One Formation..."

Discarding his distracting thoughts, Chen Xiao looked at the nine puppets around him.

The effect of this formation is similar to that of the puppets in the ancient ruins in the original trajectory.

The difference is that the puppets in the ancient ruins are already finished products. They can be driven to form an array to fight enemies simply by erasing the original marks and leaving one's own soul mark.

The puppets in front of us are more like unfinished products waiting to be processed.

Or rather, an experimental subject.

If successful, Chen Xiao and Little Fairy Doctor will be able to bring the nine puppets under their command, gaining an additional combat power comparable to an ordinary one-star Dou Zun, and also mastering the principle of the Nine Palaces Returning to One Formation.

Conversely, they will gang up on you and beat you up.

"This trial is quite dangerous if you don't have the strength of a Dou Zun. You can only hope to pass the test. No wonder none of the Holy Maidens were able to get out," Little Fairy Doctor sighed softly.

Any Dou Zong expert would feel a headache facing nine killing machines comparable to high-level Dou Zong experts.

Chen Xiao chuckled and shook his head. "It's not that difficult. They are all alone, while we are traveling together. The difficulty should be different. Let's try to condense this talisman first. If we can master it, we will have another means in the future."

Chen Xiao suspected that this talisman originated from the spiritual seal of the Great Thousand World, and instantly developed great expectations for it.

The Little Medical Fairy nodded slightly.

Immediately, the two stopped talking, sat down cross-legged close together, closed their eyes, concentrated, and began to try to condense the talisman according to the method on the parchment.

Using their soul power as a guide and gathering their own battle qi, battle qi constantly fluctuated between their palms, as if it were condensing into a shape...

In less than ten minutes, Chen Xiao suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, stretched out his slender palm, his palm surging with fighting spirit, and then a strange ice-blue rune slowly appeared.

"This is the talisman?"

Looking at the rune, Chen Xiao felt uneasy.

As far as he knew, in that vast world, beginners with some talent in the profession of spirit array master could condense their first spirit seal in about half an hour when they first came into contact with spirit seal cultivation. Some people with even greater talent could be even faster.

The Dou Qi Continent is no match for the Great Thousand World, and this talisman cannot be compared with the Spirit Seal. However, the fact that a talisman was condensed so quickly was still beyond Chen Xiao's expectations.

"It must be because my soul power is relatively strong that it is easier for me to get started."

Sensing the rune in his hand, Chen Xiao could feel a strange power surging within it, but this power was not condensed. If he were to release it from his hand or inject it into the puppet's body, it might dissipate in ten days or half a month.

hum~
Just as Chen Xiao was studying the rune in his hand, Little Fairy Doctor beside him also made progress, and a purple rune was condensed in her palm.

"It seems a bit too simple..." Looking at the runes in her palm, Little Fairy Doctor's pretty face showed a look of astonishment.

"The reason may not lie in it, but in us. I am a Dou Zong with a Ling Jing soul, and you are a Dou Zun. In the Dou Qi Continent, or even in higher planes, we are not bad. On the other hand, this talisman is just a beginner's thing, so we will naturally find it easy to learn."

I can't think of any other explanation.

At most, it's just that the two of them have a good talent in this area.

However, given their abilities, it's impossible to determine their talent in such a short time when they're learning such basic things.

“That makes sense. According to the parchment, the Nine Palaces Formation requires nine talismans. Let’s complete that first.” Little Fairy Doctor nodded in agreement.

The successful condensation of the first talisman sparked considerable interest in both of them.

Even with sheer strength, they could have dealt with the nine suddenly appearing puppets and forcibly taken them into their possession.

However, in that case, the nine puppets would be unable to form an array to fight the enemy, which would be equivalent to a group of high-level Dou Zong.

Its value will be greatly reduced.

After all, the difference between a Dou Zun and a Dou Zong is too great!

The two exchanged a glance, then closed their eyes again to begin condensing the second talisman.

It was at this moment that both of them could clearly perceive that condensing the second talisman was much more difficult than the first.

It took Chen Xiao a full quarter of an hour to successfully condense it, while it took Little Fairy Doctor more than twenty minutes.

Moreover, this gap is gradually widening.

An hour later, Chen Xiao opened his palm, and six strange runes flickered incessantly in his palm.

In contrast, Little Fairy Doctor only had four items in her hand.

Two more hours passed before Chen Xiao finally condensed nine talismans, meeting the basic requirements of the Nine Palaces Returning to One Formation.

Looking at the nine flickering runes in his palm, Chen Xiao inexplicably felt as if he had mastered a completely new power.

"This talisman becomes increasingly difficult as we progress, but fortunately we have enough time."

Little Fairy Doctor also successfully condensed seven talismans, and had many feelings about it.

As more and more runes were condensed, she could sense that her soul power was being consumed more and more.

"It takes a lot of energy for us to figure things out on our own. If we don't make mistakes along the way, we can actually get to work much faster."

Chen Xiao chuckled in response.

During these few hours, both of them made several mistakes. In those instants, the talisman they were working on was completely ruined, and they had to start all over again.

Fortunately, it was eventually completed.

Little Fairy Doctor nodded with a smile, revealing a hint of anticipation.

"Quickly try the Nine Palaces Return to One Formation."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao also turned his gaze to the nine puppets standing guard around him.

Without much hesitation, Chen Xiao flicked his fingers, and a series of talismans flew out from his palm and landed directly on the puppets.

Strangely, the moment those runes touched the puppets, they invaded them, quickly erasing the remaining marks inside their bodies, and then took over their place.

At that moment, Chen Xiao immediately felt an inexplicable connection between himself and the nine puppets.

"Array up!"

As soon as Chen Xiao had the thought, the nine puppets moved with a roar and stood in various directions.

At the same time, he could clearly sense that there was a subtle bond between the nine puppets. Their power was constantly flowing and converging, as if any one of them could unleash the full power of all nine puppets at the same time!

"Xian'er, give it a try."

Little Fairy Doctor nodded with a smile, and lightly swung out a palm, using only the power of a one-star Dou Zun.

Chen Xiao immediately controlled the puppet to fight back head-on.

boom!
After a deep, muffled thud, the nine puppets were sent flying hundreds of feet before regaining their footing. Although they were in a sorry state, they were unharmed.

"Their power is slightly weaker than that of an ordinary one-star Dou Zun, but this difference can be overcome by their physical advantages. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are comparable to an ordinary one-star Dou Zun."

After personally verifying it, Little Fairy Doctor felt even more deeply.

Chen Xiao nodded slightly. The combined strength of the nine human-level Heavenly Demon Puppets was already more than enough.

"Including them, we now have twelve puppets. If we collect six more, we can form another array. However, this talisman is not yet condensed and can only last for about half a month. It needs to be continuously refined."

Reflecting on his gains over this period, Chen Xiao was quite satisfied.

These puppets combined constitute a formidable force, one that should not be underestimated even in the present-day Central Plains.

If Little Fairy Doctor is added to the mix, the forces that Chen Xiao can mobilize at any time are no less than any of the Four Directions Pavilions, enough to truly establish a foothold in the Central Plains!
"Let's delve deeper. I'm getting more and more excited for the challenges ahead."

They stored all the puppets in their storage rings and then proceeded hand in hand.

About fifteen minutes later, a familiar sound of wind breaking through the mist came from the depths of the fog.

Surprisingly, this time, what flew towards the two was a jade slip emitting a blue light.

"The Flame and Ice Array can be set up by condensing eighteen talismans according to this array diagram. When the array is completed, ice and fire will arrive simultaneously, with a time limit of five days."

This time, the jade slip only contained an introduction and diagram of the Flame Ice Array, without explaining the consequences of failure.

"This power is truly mysterious. As long as you set up the array according to the diagram, you don't need to prepare anything else, and you can activate both ice and fire powers," Little Fairy Doctor sighed softly.

In the Dou Qi Continent, people of different attributes have distinct characteristics; one can even roughly distinguish them by the color of their Dou Qi. It's rare to find someone who is clearly of the Ice attribute but can wield Fire attribute power, or vice versa.

However, these talismans and arrays can easily mobilize the power of two attributes, which is truly unbelievable from the perspective of the Dou Qi Continent.

Chen Xiao was also examining the array diagram in his mind, and he became even more convinced that the powerful person who created this small world must have received the inheritance of the spirit array master of the Great Thousand World!

The Nine Palaces returning to one formation still falls within the scope of the Dou Qi Continent, and can still be explained.

However, this Flame-Ice Array and its diagram belong to a completely new system!
