Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master - Chapter 932 - 329: Scholar Meets Soldiers
Chapter 932: Chapter 329: Scholar Meets Soldiers
“This formation is of the Earth Element, yet it’s set within the Wangchuan Immortal City. The latter is indeed suspended over the Wangchuan River, which is primarily Water Element.”
“It is precisely because Earth and Water Elements are not harmonious that I could easily assist you.”
“If it were a Water Element Great Array, you’d probably have been ground to a pulp by the water vortex. Even if I tried my best, I might not have been able to save you.”
Sun Lingtong laughed heartily, straightforwardly saying: Senior Zeng’s strength is extraordinary, surely capable of protecting himself. He understood his benevolence, only to scare him into being more cautious in the future.
Speaking of this, Sun Lingtong took the opportunity to thank Zeng Jide, blocking a lot of his words.
Then, Sun Lingtong asked again, “Senior, senior, what exactly is this?”
This time, even Zeng Jide was a bit hesitant and perplexed.
He stared at the stone round core for a moment, still shaking his head, “I cannot discern its origin, but I can only speculate that it must be an Earth Element treasure from the depths.”
“This is one of the essences of the giant rock. I have just investigated, and this type of stone round core within the giant rock is not rare.”
Sun Lingtong, with hands behind his head, cheerfully said, “That’s wonderful! With so many round cores, let’s grab quite a few.”
“Hmm.” Zeng Jide stroked his beard and nodded.
They had already stolen them, and after stealing them, there was not much reaction.
Coupled with the mysterious treasure truly piquing his curiosity and subconsciously increasing its value estimation. All these made Zeng Jide itch for more.
“Since it’s come to this, taking more wouldn’t hurt.”
Zeng Jide personally made a move, his efficiency several times higher than Sun Lingtong’s.
One by one, the Earth-Lung Miasma nodes were taken, and the imposing aura of the giant rock quickly declined with it.
Altar Battlefield.
Thud, thud, thud…
After a series of deflating sounds, the previously tall and mighty Earth Evil God had shrunk to just slightly larger than a normal person.
What happened?!
Such an unexpected shift was beyond the anticipation of everyone present.
Luo Si took the opportunity to retreat, keeping a safe distance.
“The Earth Phase Array, there’s an issue with the barrier of the Earth-Lung Miasma at the Array Heart!” The body of the Lord of Wangchuan glared with rage within the tributaries.
A sense of foreboding arose in his heart; almost at the moment the problem occurred, the message was sent out. He wanted to mobilize the entire Wangchuan Immortal City, to protect the barrier of the Earth-Lung Miasma with all his might, eliminating all enemies!
The Earth Evil God glanced at his own Divine Body, feeling regret for the first time.
He forcibly bound Luo Si’s Nine Abysses Water Sack to himself; this spell, with a Magic Treasure as its base, held potent power. Once the Earth Evil God was weakened, the Nine Abysses Water Sack could immediately activate, making Him even weaker, leak after leak.
The double overlay of the Earth-Lung Miasma barrier at the Earth Phase Array’s heart and the Nine Abysses Water Sack caused the Earth Evil God to drastically reduce in size, his combat power plummeting.
Luo Si’s eyes sparkled with brilliance, his morale surged!
“It’s the nobleman, it must be him!”
“My alliance was not wrong. Senior Greybone’s guidance was immensely correct!”
“In this battle, the lifespan favors our side, we can win!!”
Luo Si went to battle again.
This time, it was distinctly different from before.
The Earth Evil God wanted to shake off the Nine Abysses Water Sack, but how could Luo Si let Him succeed so easily? He was determined to bind the Earth Evil God with the Water Sack!
Previously relying on the Earth Phase Array, the Earth Evil God thought He had endless support, brimming with confidence. But as it turned out, He had hoist by His own petard; the treasure at the array’s heart failed, which was akin to pulling the rug out from under His feet!
The impact was indeed huge.
Meanwhile, the authentic body of the Lord of Wangchuan in the Wangchuan Tributary had no further strength to fight—his string of beads had mostly shattered, and the recent Netherworld Flood Dragon Scissors’ silhouette was the last of his power!
Luo Si’s combat power declined significantly, heavily wounded, he wisely adopted a strategy of mobility combat.
The Earth Evil God’s methods were singular; full-speed pursuit, though still holding an upper hand, He couldn’t convert the advantage into victory, leading to a stalemate.
The Lord of Wangchuan watched the battle, quietly anxious, the hair on his chest stood with a sense of foreboding.
He wavered: “Should I not have coveted this cheap advantage, fragmenting my essence to forge a natural Divine Body? What if I had separated a Water Element Divine Separation?”
“Should I have not placed the Earth Phase Array’s heart that far away? Wangchuan Immortal City is beyond my reach, and the transmission loss is enormous. Actually, the Earth-Lung Miasma barrier hadn’t severely damaged, but its effects here were evident. If it were placed nearby…”
The Lord of Wangchuan shook his head internally: “No, if placed here, during the battle with Yin Jiu and others, it could have been found and destroyed by them!”
“The situation is gradually unfavorable to me, the lifespan is evolving, aiming against me!”
The Lord of Wangchuan had insights connected to this, fixing his gaze on the Netherworld Flood Dragon Scissors inside the Ice Coffin, his eyes filled with blood veins, so eager and angry as if he wanted to devour someone: “Damn it! Is there a way to swiftly reclaim this national treasure?”
Lifespan’s evolution is quite dangerous.
Especially now, after enduring numerous battles, his state was at the lowest.
The Netherworld Flood Dragon Scissors is a national treasure; it can suppress lifespan and greatly counteract the adverse evolution of lifespan while protecting oneself.
The Lord of Wangchuan was aware of his predicament, knowing that reclaiming the Netherworld Flood Dragon Scissors was crucial!
But ironically, the Netherworld Flood Dragon Scissors was trapped in the Ice Coffin.
Though the Ice Coffin was gradually worn down, it remained a bothersome barrier.
“Yin Jiu!!!” The Lord of Wangchuan roared internally, his hatred for the Ghost Fire Lord surged tremendously.
A strong tide of exhaustion and pain washed over Ning Zhuo’s will.
The Golden Core Wheel within the Five Elements Golden Core had dimmed, shrinking to the size of a soybean.
Ning Zhuo swiftly swapped it out, replacing it with a Golden Core still relatively full.
Unlike before, after the defense battle of the White Paper Immortal City, he had numerous Golden Cores at hand. None of these cores cultivated the Main Cultivation Method Ning Zhuo had mastered.
Leading to these dire situations of racing against time, Golden Cores became consumables lavishly used.
“The ninth hub.”
Ning Zhuo’s exhaustive exploration yielded stage results. In his mind, a rough sketch of a hub map had been drawn.
The solid foundation of the formation allowed Ning Zhuo to realize that there weren’t many hubs in this great array. With nine hub illustrations, he had covered most of it.
Should he continue exploring or take different actions?
Ning Zhuo didn’t know about the indirect breakthrough by Sun Lingtong on the other side, inadvertently altering Luo Si’s situation.
The longer he delayed, the more anxious Ning Zhuo felt!
He identified the map in his heart: “The guest star aligns to the north of the literary hub… implying the northern position on the hub map.”
“Though the map is incomplete, judging the north is feasible.”
Ning Zhuo altered his flying direction, swiftly heading to the northern part of the hub map.
In a certain area, the Literary Energy in his pouch suddenly shifted oddly. This time, instead of pointing in a single direction or stabilizing as a snow light sphere,
It transformed into countless rays of light, twisting and winding, like being pulled by invisible threads, spreading into thousands of strands in all directions.
Ning Zhuo’s eyes sharpened: “Clearly, there’s no hub here; why such a change?”
“The Heavenly Ghost Transformation Sacrifice Ceremony is a Confucian Cultivation Sacrifice; thus, the Literary Energy acts as the hub. The Array Heart should be that altar; this is the interior of the great array.”
“Could this be the invisible hub mentioned in the books? Previous hubs were all visible hubs. Using the visible to contrast the invisible, using the invisible to control the visible?”
Ning Zhuo’s heartbeat accelerated, his mouth went dry.
His formation knowledge was basic, relying solely on guessing. His Confucian Cultivation was sparse, but fortunately, he had previously consulted Wen Ruanyu.
The more he thought, the more he felt it must be here.
“I don’t have much time left.”
“It’s the final step, I must take a risk!”
Confucian Skill—Scholar Meets Soldiers!
This Confucian Skill was also taught by Wen Ruanyu, relatively simple and easy to master.
It can leverage Military Evil to counter other Confucian Skills.
Ning Zhuo had long learned the Art of Bearing Arms and Baleful Force, harboring many Military Evils, forming a great match with this Scholar Meets Soldiers Confucian Skill.
Rumble…
A dramatic change occurred!
