Xu Ping’s expression grew increasingly serious, for the next stage was the most critical.
"Forge!"
Xu Ping whispered under his breath, his hands swiftly changing the magic technique.
In an instant, the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth seed to respond to a mysterious and powerful force, surging in from all directions.
Within the secret chamber, the Spiritual Qi was so dense it almost beca tangible, forming distinct vortices in the air.
Accompanied by a faint, tearing-like sound and flickering spiritual light, a crimson armor erged, firmly embedded upon the skin of Xu Ping’s upper body.
This armor had smooth lines, emanating a mysterious and formidable aura, with every pattern seemingly containing endless power.
"Finally... it’s done!"
Xu Ping genuinely felt the power augntation brought by the soft armor, and a hint of a smile finally appeared on his previously tense face.
He had spent an entire year honing the ’Armor Refining Skill’ to a proficient level.
And now, at last, he succeeded in performing it.
He clenched his fist tightly, and a vast and mighty power surged from within his body, as if possessing the force to shatter heaven and earth.
"Not bad, not bad."
Xu Ping couldn’t help but burst into hearty laughter.
Upon initial experience, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the armor increased his power by at least thirty percent.
Even though, with his current state, breaking through to the third-rank upper grade level and adding the armor’s boost, he was still quite a ways from truly reaching the fourth-rank Body Refining realm.
But for him now, this was undoubtedly a trendous leap forward.
If he combined this armor’s formidable defensive power, he could surely match wits with a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
After conducting so ticulous tests, Xu Ping gained a more in-depth understanding of the armor’s various features, feeling satisfied as he prepared to dissipate the armor.
"Disperse!"
With a snap of his mana, the crimson armor embedded in his skin detached, transforming back into four Red Fla Golden Beetles.
"Sss sss!"
The Red Fla Golden Beetles emitted a series of excited hisses toward Xu Ping, seemingly flaunting their contributions to their master.
Xu Ping smiled faintly, flicked his fingers, and a large piece of Demon Beast Flesh shot toward the four Red Fla Golden Beetles.
Upon seeing the food, they cheerfully pounced on it, devouring it heartily.
"Now that the Armor Refining Skill is complete, next cos the breakthrough of the Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill to the sixth level."
"It seems I need to squeeze the Water Lake Rats a bit during this ti," Xu Ping sched to himself.
With only a few years left before the campaign against the Seed Puppet Sect, he must hasten to ensure the breakthrough of the Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill, leaving nothing to chance.
As for the expense of the Water Lake Rat’s vital essence, it can recover slowly over ti.
...
...
Ti flies; six years have passed like a fleeting mont.
Ancient Sand City.
Within the secret chamber, the ghostly blue flas continued to burn intensely, never ceasing.
After so many years of uninterrupted burning, Gu Yuntao’s body had been completely refined into a pool of viscous liquid.
This mysterious liquid fully fused with the puppet’s material, rging seamlessly as one.
Amazingly, this puppet, originally only a re imitation of the fourth rank, had undergone a colossal transformation.
It gradually morphed into the form of Gu Yuntao, with lifelike skin covering it, indistinguishable from a real person at first glance.
Moreover, the aura it emitted had already reached a genuine fourth-rank level.
Who knows how much ti passed.
"Crack!"
The puppet suddenly opened its eyes, a sharp light flashing through like lightning.
"Whoosh!"
In an instant, a vast Nascent Soul level aura erupted from the puppet, dispersing the burning ghostly blue flas in an instant.
The Spiritual Qi within the chamber also seed to be greatly disturbed, emitting intense howling noises.
"Hahaha... Infusing soul into the puppet... I have finally succeeded!"
Gu Yuntao’s lips curled into a high arc, finally bursting into a mont of supre laughter.
The laughter reverberated within the chamber for a long ti, filled with irrepressible joy and madness.
For the "Infusing Soul into Puppet" technique, he had expended countless efforts and long years, enduring unimaginable hardships along the way.
Now, it had finally co to fruition.
"Infusing Soul into Puppet" is a forbidden secret technique in the Seed Puppet Sect.
This technique allows a person’s body and Divine Soul to be wholly refined into a puppet, greatly enhancing the puppet’s grade while perfectly preserving human consciousness.
With this, the puppet’s imnse combat prowess can be fully unleashed.
Furthermore, as long as the Divine Soul remains intact, long-lasting existence can be achieved.
Of course, the secret technique is not without its drawbacks.
Once used, it essentially cuts off any future path of cultivation, a price far beyond what ordinary people can bear.
Gu Yuntao slowly lowered his head, examining his hands closely. Beneath the realistic and delicate skin surged a mighty fourth-rank power.
As he clenched his fist, the surrounding air was instantly compressed, emitting a deep and resounding explosive sound, as if the entire space was slightly distorted under this powerful force.
He attempted to circulate the Spiritual Power within, finding that the initially complex and maze-like network of ridians had now beco unobstructed, like a river running wild, with Spiritual Power flowing through unhindered.
"With my current strength, even in a direct confrontation with a Nascent Soul Cultivator, I would not fall behind in the slightest."
