Demonic Demoness Training Project

This is a fragmented map of the Boundless Realm. By comparing it with the map issued by the sect, it can be roughly determined that the region recorded in the jade slip is located in the northwest corner of the Boundless Realm. The sect has only conducted a preliminary exploration of that area and has not yet fully investigated it.

In addition, the jade slip also contained a passage:

[I have been trapped in this realm for a thousand years, devoting my entire life to the study of the Dao of the Soul. Now, my days are numbered. Therefore, I am distributing a hundred jade slips, hoping that those destined to receive them in the future will find them. I sincerely invite you all to my cave for a discussion, where I will impart all the knowledge I have acquired throughout my life.]

"It's so eerie, it feels like a sacrifice."

"Oh? Why do you see it?"

"Because this guy talks a lot like you, all that 'giving me everything' stuff, he might be trying to possess me."

"Am I really that worthless in your eyes?"

"really."

"Opportunities always come with dangers. Perhaps that senior really has ill intentions. I told you long ago that mortals who cultivate immortality rely on petty people to gain power. They are always timid and hesitant. You will never be able to contend with the immortal clans."

"No rush, let me take a look first."

Subsequently, Lu Li used the Earth Fire Cauldron to refine the body of the Gold Devouring Beast, from which he extracted a uranium pill. The beast was significantly larger than the Azure Nether Demon Fox from before, but only one uranium pill was produced.

Perhaps it was just good luck that he got two uranium pills at once. Such a thing is rare and hard to come by. At least with this uranium pill in hand, Lu Li had some confidence.

"Great, I can transform again!"

"You look happy?"

"No, no, I mean, I'm happy because with this uranium pill, I feel confident enough to go and see the place of inheritance, but when it comes to the Soul Dao inheritance..."

Lu Li suddenly thought of something and began searching in his sea of ​​consciousness. He quickly found a bunch of erhu diagrams, which he had snatched from the Venerable. He had only recorded them in his sea of ​​consciousness before and had not had time to examine them.

This included one four-turn cymbal diagram, two three-turn cymbal diagrams, four two-turn cymbal diagrams, and seven one-turn cymbal diagrams. Lu Li picked up the three-turn cymbal diagram and glanced at it, and immediately felt an unbearable pain in his sea of ​​consciousness, as if he were being pricked by needles.

At this moment, Old Duan jokingly said:

"The Four-Turn Reversal Diagram is here, why don't you learn it?"

Chapter 104 Female body clone, Mo Wan

"The Four-Turn Reversal Diagram is here, why don't you learn it?"

Lu Li rolled his eyes, chuckled coldly, and uttered four words.

"A question you already know the answer to."

The reason is simple: his current mastery of the Yan Dao is insufficient, and the configuration of the Great Dream Profound Pivot is not high enough. For example, the complex structure of the High Turning Yan Diagram is recorded as a complete and three-dimensional structural projection through jade slips. Just flipping through it almost caused the Great Dream Profound Pivot to crash. That's why he felt a headache coming on.

The next three cyclical artifacts don't give me a headache after reading them because they don't put much strain on my Great Dream Pivot, but Lu Li himself can't understand them at all. Trying to understand them now is just too hasty.

Lu Li could barely understand the second-stage artifact, but he didn't have a deep understanding of the Soul Dao and often didn't understand many details. If he wanted to refine it, he would need to put in some effort.

Further down the line, Lu Li could understand those first-stage puppets, and as long as he had all the necessary spiritual materials, he could replicate them in a relatively short time with his puppetry skills.

Among this pile of puppets, Lu Li found one particularly interesting, named the "Disaster-Blocking Puppet." The Venerable had used this to deceive him in the past.

This thing can be upgraded from level one to level three, and there is a complete set of advancement methods. A level three disaster-preventing puppet can disguise itself as a cultivator in the Creation Realm, and so on, the puppet can disguise itself as a cultivator one level higher.

The principle, simply put, is to use the methods of Qi and Soul to imitate the aura and spiritual fluctuations of a cultivator who has undergone a higher level of cultivation, thereby deceiving the enemy.

As for the appearance, shape, and makeup of the puppets, to make them even more lifelike and indistinguishable from living people, that depends on the cultivator's skill. This part is not recorded in detail in the puppet diagram.

Lu Li is now a puppeteer, and in theory he should use mortal mechanisms, but this disaster-preventing puppet is at least at the first stage.

"In that case, it seems I can cut corners even further on this basis... The Boundless Realm is too dangerous, and the so-called place of inheritance is probably a trap. If we have this puppet to explore the way, we can have an extra layer of protection."

The cost of a first-stage disaster-preventing puppet is about one hundred spirit stones. Sometimes, having a lower cultivation level has its advantages. Lu Li wanted to refine a disaster-preventing puppet, so he didn't need to imitate the aura and spiritual fluctuations of a powerful cultivator in the Open Source Realm. Therefore, he reduced the cost by another thirty spirit stones.

As for spiritual materials, the sect brought a large amount of supplies into the Boundless Realm, which can be purchased with spirit stones. It's a pity they didn't bring the pears with them.

Perhaps in the eyes of the higher-ups at Baiyue Palace, the Suxin Pear was something that was dispensable.

……

Five days later, the creation of the disaster-preventing puppet was nearing completion.

Having experience in refining ice muscles, Lu Li knew every muscle on his body like the back of his hand, so he easily completed the body sculpting step.

As for the cheeks, Lu Li really didn't know where to start; no matter how he pinched them, they didn't feel like a living person.

In a fit of anger, he had a sudden inspiration and made a face mold. Specifically, he applied soft clay to the face, dried the moisture to harden the clay, filled the mold with spiritual material that resembled human flesh, took out the face, made some minor repairs, applied makeup, and that was it.

Apart from his somewhat stiff expression, he was basically the same as him.

Finally, when it came to the makeup step, Lu Li wiped the face of the pretty woman in front of him and suddenly sighed.

"Sigh, I've disguised myself before, so doing this is pretty easy for me... But what man is so skilled at doing makeup for others?"

After finishing her makeup, Lu Li placed the mask onto the puppet. Looking at the puppet in front of her, which looked exactly like her, like a twin sister, Lu Li was somewhat dazed.

“Indeed…so beautiful. I’ve decided, I’ve decided to call you Lu Xiaoli. No, no, this name is too similar to me. I have to change it. Xuan Ya Yi…ah, that won’t do either. That guy was recently electrocuted, and most of the disciples from both sects probably already know.”

It wasn't that Lu Li had any particular quirk about naming things, but if this puppet were to encounter other cultivators, especially disciples of the Qingyang Palace, it simply couldn't reveal its own name. Lu Li had suffered a similar loss before, so he needed to think things through in advance this time.

"How about you call yourself Mo, with the surname Mo and the name Mo Wan? Mo is the 'Mo' in ink painting, and Wan is the 'Wan' in sleeves fluttering in the wind."

"Wait, Mo Wan... Demon Orb? Old man, are you kidding me?"

"Hehehe, disciple, don't you think this name sounds nice?"

"What's so appealing about it? Hmm, it does seem alright. Okay, I'll take this one. I'm too lazy to think about it anymore."

Lu Li looked the exquisite body up and down; every inch of its flesh and blood had been sculpted by his own hands.

After the incident of cutting flesh to fill breasts, Lu Li lost interest in sculpting chicks again, so he just went ahead and showed off as usual.

From the outside, they look like two pieces of white flour bun squeezed together, but the inside is actually solid.

Lu Li was thinking that if he were to accidentally be seen by a female disciple of this body when he returned to the academy in the future, it would be easier to explain.

At this moment, Old Duan suddenly urged:

"My disciple, how about we make two molds for the front and back as well?"

"You old bastard, I'll mess with your mother! I...I don't need that kind of thing!"

Lu Li's pretty face turned red, whether from anger or embarrassment, she noisily placed the puppet's core inside. The core she chose was a one-turn-one-type spirit core, and nearly 30% of the puppet's total cost was spent on this spirit core.

Its abdomen contains a Wind Spirit Core of Type 2, which is used to supply spiritual power to the Spirit Core and at the same time mimic the aura of a living person.

This puppet itself has little fighting ability, but it's quite good at deceiving people.

It is said that high-level cultivators can split their souls, making the puppet an independent body. Lu Li cannot do this yet; he can only remotely control this body with his divine sense, with a range of about fifty feet, which is equivalent to the range of his divine sense perception.

The puppet's eyes are equipped with a camera mechanism, and the images it captures are transmitted through the Spirit Core and received in real time by the Great Dream Mystic Council.

Yan Ou slowly opened her eyes, moved her body a little, and stared blankly at Lu Li, who was also staring blankly at her.

……

On the twentieth day after entering the Boundless Realm, the second batch of disciples returned, and it was finally Lu Li and the others' turn to explore the secret realm.

The second group of disciples who returned suffered even more casualties than the first group. They did not die at the hands of the enemy sect's disciples, but rather died in immeasurable eons.

This year's immeasurable calamity is more powerful than any previous year.

When it was Lu Li's turn to go to the front line, everyone had long lost their initial expectations. They all looked haggard and dazed. The immeasurable tribulation was eroding their bodies every day, causing them to be in very poor condition.

Even worse, some of them collapsed because their bodies couldn't hold on. Three of the forty outer disciples died, four were bedridden, and the remaining thirty-three all had varying degrees of physical deformities.

For most people, the immeasurable eons are a tremendous torment, but there are always a few people with special constitutions whose bodies undergo mutations and from which they gain immense benefits.

That day, Lu Li was gathering intelligence at the sect's headquarters and also checking the spiritual materials brought back by the frontline disciples. If there were any Ghost Face Flowers, he could just intercept and buy them. However, after searching for a while, he couldn't find even one Ghost Face Flower. He overheard some fellow disciples talking.

"Have you heard? The deacons of the two sects got into a fight in the core area."

"Holy crap, really? Why?"

"It seems that a fragment of an ancient artifact has been discovered, and the two stewards are fighting fiercely over it."

Lu Li's ears twitched slightly, and he stopped in his tracks.

Lu Li knew that the core area was the core of the entire Boundless Realm, where the concentration of Boundless Calamity was the highest. It was said to be the place where the Boundless Blessed Return to the Void Seal exploded.

These days, most of the disciples are active on the periphery, while only the stewards can rely on their physical strength to withstand countless calamities and venture into the core area to seek opportunities.

If he can't find the Ghost Face Flower in the outer area, then Lu Li will have to try his luck in the core area.

As for the ancient artifact fragments these two mentioned... could they be referring to fragments of the Boundless Blessing Return to the Void Seal?

If fragments of it could be obtained, it might be possible to deduce the craftsmanship, structure, and array patterns of the ancient Yanqi (a type of ancient Chinese artifact), and to refine the Fusheng Wuliang Guixu Seal.

Once a sect successfully forges this sixth-rank mechanical artifact, the entire downstream power structure will be completely reshuffled, and it may even affect the midstream sects. No wonder the two sects fought so fiercely over it.

"A monster has emerged in Qingyang Palace, named Ji Lie. He is less than five feet tall, yet he managed to withstand the immeasurable tribulation and enter the core area. When he reappeared, he had grown to more than ten feet tall, with white hair and a red face, looking like a demon.

"Is this really true?"

“One of our sect’s deacons was dragged into the core area and beaten to death by him.”

"Huh? Yanshi solo killed Kaiyuan, this kid is so fierce."

"He was originally just a poor scholar. I don't know what kind of luck he had, but he happened to have that one-in-a-million physique. For most of us, the Immeasurable Tribulation is poison, but for him it is a precious medicine for tempering the body. It's a pity that we are not fortunate enough to enjoy it."

"Get lost, don't act innocent after getting the benefits. Hasn't your 'chicken' gotten a bit bigger lately? Once you get out, just find a brothel, and you won't have to worry for the rest of your life."

"Haha, that's true."

After listening to their conversation, Lu Li just wanted to deafen himself. Why was it that when the other person was affected by the immeasurable tribulation, their brothers grew bigger and bigger, while his brothers shrank?

What's even more terrifying is that after he finished consuming the Nine Dragons Pill, he only stopped for two days, and the purity of the Yin energy in his body began to rebound, rising from 82% to 90% in one go. This frightened him so much that he quickly bought another half month's supply from the sect.

This barely stopped the growth of yin energy. For a moment, Lu Li even thought about giving up altogether. It was just two ounces of flesh anyway, so it didn't seem to make much difference whether it grew on the top or the bottom.

Gradually, his body became more and more supple, and his face became more and more attractive. Even Lu Li himself did not notice that he would occasionally make some small feminine gestures, such as playing with his hair. His behavior was slowly moving closer to that of a woman.

Now that things have developed to this point, even if he said he was a man in front of the other disciples, probably no one would believe him anymore.

Chapter 105 The Open Source of the Demonic Path

Even so, Lu Li often gritted his teeth and warned himself in his heart.

"No, I can't give up, I must stay true to myself... Yes, stay true to myself! As long as I believe I am a man, then I am..."

"Jie Jie Jie..."

Duan Lao smiled without saying a word. She intentionally controlled the operation of the Reversal Heavenly Divination Instrument. During the days when Lu Li was taking the Nine Dragon Pill normally, she would stop the operation of the Reversal Heavenly Divination Instrument so that Lu Li could accumulate Yang Qi in peace.

When Lu Li relaxed his guard and happened to miss a day or two of taking his medicine, she immediately activated the Reversal Heavenly Dipper Instrument, causing all the yang energy that he had painstakingly accumulated in his body to reverse in one go.

When asked, she said it was because she hadn't taken the pills properly, which caused the yin energy to rebound.

In this way, she not only secretly advanced the process of cultivating the Extreme Yin Body, but also avoided being discovered by Lu Li.

Putting aside the fact that Duan Xuanyuan's goal was to refine the Qingling female puppet, even from the perspective of his master, Duan Xuanyuan felt that he had not done anything wrong.

Cultivation is like this: cultivators try every means to transform their bodies, whether by using elixirs, magical artifacts, or by tempering their bodies through countless eons.

In making themselves stronger, they also became unrecognizable, to the point that they couldn't even recognize themselves when they looked back.

The closer one gets to the immortals, the further one is destined to be from humanity.

If a mortal wants to become an immortal and annihilate all the immortal clans in the world, he must always give up something.

Duan Xuanyuan always believed that he was a good master who had put in a lot of effort to secretly give this good-for-nothing disciple a push.

Thinking of this, Duan Xuanyuan couldn't help but hum a soft hum. She recalled a tune she had heard by chance when passing by the White House years ago. The tune now seemed a bit old-fashioned, but it was quite fitting for the occasion.

"The youthful glow of yesteryear fades, replaced by a graceful, feminine form... In the dead of night, I dream of my youth, and weep in my dream, tears staining my makeup red... Hmph hmph hmph~"

"You old geezer, what are you singing in my mind?"

"nothing."

After twenty days of torment, very few disciples still had the strength to explore the secret realm. Most disciples were in poor condition and preferred to stay in the rear and do hard labor rather than go to the front line to die.

The sect had anticipated this situation, and forcing these disciples to go forward would only be a burden. Therefore, they merged some smaller teams to ensure that each team had more than thirty members.

Originally a team of 400, only 150 were able to make it out, forming five teams.

The inner disciples were generally in good condition, because most of them came from prominent families and possessed magical artifacts bestowed by their families, which could better resist the erosion of the immeasurable calamity.

This led to a situation where there weren't enough outer disciples to do the hard work for the ten inner disciples. Newly promoted inner disciples like Lu Li were naturally marginalized, which eventually turned into the situation where "you are still inexperienced, so you can follow the team, but you have to listen to the arrangements of your senior brothers and sisters."

Just as Elder Duan said at the beginning, the so-called Holy Maiden of Glory has no real power at all; it's just talk, and the inner disciples don't take it seriously at all.
