The last is the way of the Puppet.
Clearly, ordinary third-rank top-grade Puppets cannot et the demand; at least quasi-fourth rank Puppets are needed.
The materials required for such top-tier Puppets are hard to gather, even for a superpower like the Hundred Bamboo Sect, which dominates in the Wind Country, let alone for Xu Ping himself.
Moreover, with his current level of puppet crafting skills, he still has a long way to go before he can forge quasi-fourth rank Puppets.
However, compared to the previous two thods, the puppet path is relatively easier to achieve.
After all, just because he has no ans to obtain materials for quasi-fourth rank Puppets doesn’t an the Seed Puppet Sect doesn’t.
As long as he successfully eradicates the Seed Puppet Sect, the accumulated materials of the sect can easily form a set for the quasi-fourth rank Puppet.
Then, he can ask Gu Yuntao for help in crafting.
In this way, he is likely to possess a quasi-fourth rank Puppet.
And the original "Divine Puppet Spirit-Enhancing Talisman" can therefore unleash great power.
Once the "Divine Puppet Spirit-Enhancing Talisman" is inscribed on the quasi-fourth rank Puppet, its power can definitely reach the Nascent Soul level, capable of severely wounding Nascent Soul Cultivators.
At that ti, his strong defensive power can entangle Nascent Soul Cultivators.
Combined with the quasi-fourth rank Puppet secretly launching an attack, it might even suppress ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators.
"No, that’s wrong!"
"Normally, shouldn’t the Puppet be in front to resist, and I sneak attack from behind?"
"Why is it reversed now?"
Xu Ping was montarily stunned.
But he didn’t care, reversed as it may be.
With his tough skin and thick flesh, he could withstand the struggle!
"Therefore, the Seed Puppet Sect must be destroyed!"
A cold glint, like the chill of the harsh winter wind, flashed in Xu Ping’s eyes.
Without eradicating the Seed Puppet Sect, the mysterious "Thousand chanism Skill" and the rare materials necessary for crafting powerful Puppets would be unattainable in the short term.
"It’s been nearly ten years now; I wonder how Gu Yuntao’s preparations are going."
Xu Ping pondered quietly.
Gu Yuntao acts with extre caution, and his confidentiality asures are flawless.
All these years, the other party has never revealed any relevant information to him, not even the slightest clue.
This left Xu Ping completely in the dark, unable to guess what Gu Yuntao was up to.
However, it’s likely related to Puppets.
Is it a new Puppet Array?
Or a fourth rank Puppet?
Various speculations swirled like drifting snowflakes in Xu Ping’s mind.
At this mont, Xu Ping’s Divine Sense stirred.
He turned his palm, and a super long-distance Sound Transmission Talisman, faintly glowing, suddenly appeared in his hand.
With a trace of Mana injected, Gu Yuntao’s slightly hoarse and bizarre voice erged from the talisman:
"Friend Yan, everything is ready. Quickly co to Ancient Sand City to discuss the matter of annihilating the Seed Puppet Sect."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ping’s eyes imdiately lit up, and he replied at once: "No problem, I will definitely arrive at Ancient Sand City within two months!"
Speak of the devil, Gu Yuntao has prepared the annihilation of the Seed Puppet Sect unexpectedly early.
"The sooner, the better!"
Gu Yuntao continued with that peculiar tone.
"I will hurry!" Xu Ping responded.
Though puzzled by Gu Yuntao’s strange tone, Xu Ping regarded changes in voice as trivial for cultivators.
...
After the spirit of the super long-distance Sound Transmission Talisman dimd, Xu Ping began to make preparations.
The Red Fla Golden Beetle must be taken along, as it greatly enhances his strength and defensive power.
As for the Water Lake Rat and Spirit Worm, after so consideration, he decided they should stay in the cavern to watch over that piece of mysterious withered wood, to prevent any unexpected situations.
"Water Lake Rat, co!" Xu Ping called the Water Lake Rat after so contemplation.
"Coming, Master!"
In just an instant, the Water Lake Rat transford into a lightning-fast stream of light and appeared before Xu Ping.
Its two blood-red eyes rolled about, and its face was full of ingratiating smiles.
"Master, do you have any instructions for little rat?" the Water Lake Rat asked, offering its service.
"I need to go out for a while. During this period, you must take good care of this piece of withered wood," Xu Ping instructed straightforwardly.
After speaking, he paused briefly, seeming to rember sothing important, and added:
"If while I’m out, you sense Celestial Wind Zhenren intends to massacre Hundred Spirit Mountain, you should intervene and eliminate him."
After all, once the Seed Puppet Sect is destroyed, Celestial Wind Zhenren might resort to desperate asures and act recklessly.
Xu Ping had to take precautions before leaving Hundred Spirit Mountain to prevent Celestial Wind Zhenren from taking advantage of the situation.
"Alright, Master, rest assured, you can count on !"
The Water Lake Rat patted its chest confidently, ready and resolved.
Though Celestial Wind Zhenren is a Late-Stage Golden Core master, with a third-rank upper grade Puppet aiding him,
the Water Lake Rat has attained peak strength after years of rigorous training, reaching the pinnacle of third-rank upper grade demon beast level.
Its potential and strength have greatly increased, far beyond ordinary peak third-rank upper grade demon beasts.
Eradicating Celestial Wind Zhenren is feasible.
After arranging everything, Xu Ping stealthily left Hundred Spirit Mountain.
...
...
A month and a half quickly passed.
Ancient Sand City, standing amidst the endless sands, is now shrouded in swirling dust.
Gales howl fiercely, resembling raging beasts threatening to devour everything in the world.
In Ancient Sand City, at the top of the towering pagoda, the atmosphere is sowhat heavy.
A dozen Golden Core cultivators have gathered there, each emitting unique fluctuations of Spiritual Power, intertwining and filling the space with an invisible pressure.
Xu Ping is among them, his gaze steady yet watchful, silently observing those around him.
"This Yuntao really has a way, managing to gather so many Golden Core cultivators," Xu Ping marveled silently.
From the surface, the gathered strength here probably rivals the Seed Puppet Sect.
Xu Ping’s gaze swept over the crowd, estimating each one’s power.
Among them, besides the familiar Yan Ming, a Late-Stage Golden Core cultivator, there was also a burly middle-aged man exuding the sa potent late-stage aura.
This man’s muscular body was clad in a black warrior’s outfit, his face rugged, eyes revealing a fierce decisiveness that couldn’t be easily underestimated.
