Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 512 Recreating the Puppet

Deep in the desert, evil spirits lurk, tracking the traces of life.

It was at this moment that a special message came in, catching his attention.

"Is this a distress message from other evil spirits? They've discovered life, but they themselves are severely injured?"

Upon instantly analyzing the message, a look of surprise appeared on Jiang Chen's face.

Since he turned the evil spirits into puppets, he has mostly stayed around Lanyun City and has not ventured deep into the desert. This is the first time he has received a message from other evil spirits.

"Most of the time, the evil spirits fight alone, wandering in the desert like lonely ghosts, attacking living beings and extinguishing life. Only under certain special circumstances will they gather together, and there is actually a special connection between them."

"I originally thought that I had changed the blood moon mark deep in the soul of the evil spirit and severed the connection with other evil spirits, but I did not expect that this connection still exists."

As the thought crossed his mind, Jiang Chen couldn't help but turn his gaze to the distance, where the message had come from.

"According to the message from that evil spirit, it must have encountered several demons. And those demons must have been quite strong to be able to seriously injure it. They are very likely a search team from the demon race."

"It seems I should go and take a look. Even if those monsters aren't part of the search team and don't have the Thunder Seal fragments, simply capturing that evil ghost would be a good thing. Perhaps I can try to transform it into a second evil ghost puppet."

With a sudden thought, Jiang Chen immediately changed his course of action.

Not long after, Jiang Chen found a demon whose body had been shattered into pieces of yellow sand, leaving only its soul.

"Woo woo woo..."

Sensing Jiang Chen's approach, the Fiend Ghost, now only a soul, became very excited and almost instinctively rushed towards Jiang Chen. Although it had not yet entered the second tier and was only at the top level of the first tier, it had already developed a bit of spirituality.

Seeing this malevolent spirit, Jiang Chen swallowed it whole without any hesitation.

Faced with this sudden change, the demons that were about to give chase were stunned. They did not expect that the evil spirits would kill each other, which was different from what they had anticipated.

At this moment, after temporarily suppressing the evil spirits, Jiang Chen's gaze fell on these demonic creatures.

"They are indeed a monster-hunting team, but they don't have any lightning seal fragments on them."

Upon careful examination, Jiang Chen found no fragments of the Thunder Seal, which slightly disappointed him. However, he quickly overcame this disappointment. It was already good enough to obtain a Fiend Ghost. As for the fragments of the Thunder Seal, he could look for them again.

In the following time, Jiang Chen controlled the third-tier evil ghost puppet to roam around, searching for fragments of the Thunder Seal while also searching for other evil ghosts. Because he had the idea of ​​creating other puppets, he would immediately shatter the forms of these evil ghosts and temporarily suppress them as soon as he found them.

In this way, about a month later, Jiang Chen suppressed six evil spirits.

At the same time, in order to modify the evil spirit and enhance its search capabilities, Jiang Chen's main body finally embarked on a journey in the desert. While splitting his thoughts, controlling the evil spirit, and searching for the Thunder Seal, his main body did not give up his cultivation and continued to pursue lightning and hone the Purple Lightning Sword.

“I don’t know if it will work.”

The Yin spirit manifested, and Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow as he looked at the six wisps of black energy before him. These six wisps of black energy were the souls of the evil spirits, two of which were at the second rank and four at the first rank.

"Star Puppet Seal." Recalling the process of transforming the third-tier evil spirit, Jiang Chen no longer hesitated and used his methods. Compared to before, his Star Puppet Seal is now much more mature. Most importantly, this Star Puppet Seal is closely related to the Blood Moon Mark. In essence, it is a kind of breaking and reorganization of the Blood Moon Mark, and the backlash is not so great.

While Jiang Chen was immersed in transforming the evil spirit, in a very distant place, True Person Xinyi was constantly tracking the traces.

"This guy does have some tricks up his sleeve. He was able to locate the demon race team relatively accurately in the desert. But that's fine too. The more capable he is, the more I will gain later."

Her gaze swept across the concealed wreckage, and Xin Yi Zhenren's eyes narrowed slightly. After tracking the other party for some time, she had become increasingly interested in them.

With this in mind, he locked onto a direction and quickly departed.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lei Qing was also silently searching for clues. In order to lure the person in the shadows into revealing their true colors, he deliberately activated the revival of several fragments of the Thunder Seal, making their unusual phenomena more obvious.

Jiang Chen was unaware of all this for the time being.

"It's done!"

At a certain moment, sensing the starlight taking shape deep within the soul of the evil spirit, Jiang Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

At this moment, the six wisps of black energy in front of him seemed unchanged, but their chilling aura dissipated slightly. As the Blood Moon Mark was broken and the Star Puppet Mark took shape, their desire for slaughter decreased significantly, and they were no longer simply driven by their killing instincts.

As these six evil spirits were transformed and formed, with the third-tier evil spirits at the core, a subtle connection immediately formed among the seven evil spirits, and even their auras showed a tendency to merge.

Noticing this change, Jiang Chen's gaze shifted slightly.

"Compared to before, the connection between these seven evil spirits has become closer, and it is much easier to transmit messages than before. No, to be precise, there was originally a special network of communication between the evil spirits, but for some reason, this network has been abandoned and its function has been greatly reduced."

As his thoughts raced, Jiang Chen guessed at a certain possibility. He hadn't understood it before, but after confirming that the Fiend Ghost might be a specially created weapon of war, these questions seemed clearer.

"I'm starting to think that there's a big problem with the source of that evil spirit. It's more likely to be some kind of special artifact than an intelligent being."

"If that's the case, given the characteristics exhibited by the evil spirit, the quality of this artifact is definitely not low; it might even be a Dao artifact."

As his thoughts drifted away, Jiang Chen thought of the source of the evil spirit again. This couldn't help but tempt him, after all, it might be a Dao artifact. It was quite strange, he had never even seen a Dao artifact before, but after coming to the Western Regions, he had come into contact with two things that might be Dao artifacts.

At that moment, the Purple Lightning Sword hummed and suddenly began to issue a warning.

"Am I being targeted?"

Quickly pulling himself back to reality, Jiang Chen frowned.

"No, to be precise, it's not me who's being targeted, but rather the third-tier evil spirit that's being targeted."

Upon careful perception and a constant clash of thoughts, Jiang Chen suddenly guessed what was going on. His Yin Spirit had traveled without leaving any trace, making it unlikely that he had been targeted. On the contrary, the Third-Order Fiend Ghost, who made frequent moves, was more likely to be targeted.
