Otherwise, if I were to set up the Grand Formation by myself, who knows how long it would take.
This is also why I brought Lu Quanzhen over, to have a top-tier combat power stationed in the Immortal City.
As for Qian Zhuyan.
Of course, she will accompany us to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range.
If sothing happens and I need to return, I can also look after Hong Lian and Ling Zixiao.
"Alright."
Ling Zixiao, upon hearing that Lu Changsheng was finally going to break into the Nascent Soul stage, naturally would not refuse the opportunity to contribute, and she responded with a delighted expression.
After speaking, she suddenly asked Lu Changsheng: "Darling, did you encounter any Fairies or Witches during your trip to Yue Country? Or perhaps a transforming female Demon King in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range?"
Lu Changsheng: "???
"Dare to tease your husband!"
Lu Changsheng suddenly embraced his wife’s plump and charming figure, ready to administer the family discipline.
...
Several days later, Lu Changsheng left his Changsheng Hall and went to Qian Zhuyan’s Puppet Hall to see how busy she had been all these years.
As the Puppet Hall slowly opened, Lu Changsheng saw a woman in front of him, dressed in a Moon Soul Jue Xiao Long Sleeved Dress.
Her dark hair was not styled, cascading like an icy waterfall down to her waist, adorned with seven hair ornants resembling carved Arctic ice, gleaming beautifully.
Her features were as if sculpted from ancient mystic ice, expressionless. Although her azure eyes were open, they were as clear as a cold pond, devoid of any vitality.
"Master."
The woman called out to Lu Changsheng, though her voice was lodious, it was extrely cold, devoid of emotional fluctuation.
Not only was the woman calling him, but a giant, ebony puppet also greeted Lu Changsheng from afar, its voice hoarse and grating.
"Hm!?"
Lu Changsheng scrutinized the Ling Bo True Monarch’s Magic Body in front of him, but saw no signs of puppet modification, prompting him to ask, "Little Yan, how did you do this?"
"Soul split,"
Ling Bo True Monarch responded indifferently, her whole being like a millennium-old iceberg, ready to freeze others over.
"Soul split!?" Lu Changsheng exclaid in surprise.
He naturally knew what soul split ant, which is to divide the soul.
Like refining a Second Nascent Soul or using an External Incarnation technique, it requires soul splitting.
But the soul is extrely important for a cultivator; once split, it not only affects the soul’s origin source, but may also impact life span and potential.
"Not the kind of soul split you imagine, but I cut a bit of my Puppet Spirit Soul and integrated it into this body, to thoroughly control it."
Qian Zhuyan’s true form stepped forward, her voice cold and hoarse, showing that she had made so modifications to her true form.
Upon hearing it was just a cut of the Puppet Spirit Soul, Lu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Knowing her Puppet Spirit Soul could be replenished by Soul Crystals.
"Little Yan, I see you haven’t done any modifications to this Magic Body."
Lu Changsheng still couldn’t see what Qian Zhuyan intended for the Ling Bo True Monarch’s Magic Body.
"The Nascent Soul Body is rare and complex; I’m afraid to attempt any modifications lightly. Currently, I intend to control this body and connect it with my Puppet Body."
Qian Zhuyan left nothing hidden from Lu Changsheng, explaining her thought process thoroughly.
Her Puppet Body cannot be modified freely at the mont; it must be kept as core combat power.
Thus, there are two directions for modifying the Ling Bo True Monarch’s Magic Body.
One is to turn it into a common humanoid puppet, refining its body into a Puppet Body and replacing the Nascent Soul with an ice-attribute Demon Core, transforming it into an ice-attribute puppet.
This would be unworthy, inferior to beast-refining techniques.
The only benefit is that using this body, Fourth Rank ice attribute Techniques and Divine Abilities can be perford.
The other is her current plan.
Slowly integrate her Puppet Spirit Soul into the body, transforming it into her incarnation.
Then, she would find a way to modify it, tightly linking this incarnation with her Puppet Body, cultivating complentary Techniques and Divine Abilities, such as Teleportation and Substitution Technique.
Externally, the Ling Bo True Monarch’s Magic Body could even be disguised as the owner to draw others’ attention.
Of course, Qian Zhuyan had one more thing she didn’t ntion.
Long ago, when her soul was integrated into a puppet, unexpectedly, half of her soul turned into a Puppet Spirit by accident.
Although she perfectly controlled this puppet, it ant she could never leave it and had to constantly upgrade it.
Yet now, for so reason, she felt her Puppet Body... was sowhat unflattering, wanting to change her form.
Or try to perfectly split her soul and Puppet Spirit Soul, refining the puppet into an External Incarnation.
"The idea is not bad."
Lu Changsheng thought it held little significance, as long as Qian Zhuyan was with him, the Puppet Sea Technique would suffice.
But since she had a heart for scientific exploration and wished to delve deeply into research, he naturally wouldn’t stop her and was willing to provide so research materials and funding.
Recently, having advanced his Artifact Refining to the Fourth Rank, Lu Changsheng not only improved his Artifact Refining Technique but also deepened his understanding of the Divine chanism Hundred Refinent Technique.
He then proposed so suggestions about Qian Zhuyan’s Puppet Body, offering to help reforge so components later.
Thus, the two of them discussed the puppet path in the Puppet Hall.
Much later, Lu Changsheng stretched lazily and stepped out of the Puppet Hall, holding the Michen Banner as he headed into the depths of the Great Dream Marsh to seek the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale.
Upon reaching Mysterious Whale Island, Lu Changsheng flew several thousand more miles and called out to the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale.
Soon the sea roared and boiled, a colossal dragon whale with what appeared to be a small hat on its head surfaced, calling out to the diminutive Lu Changsheng above the water: "Master."
"Spiritual Whale, has anyone disturbed you recently?"
Lu Changsheng asked, concerned for Lu Lingjing.
"No one," Lu Lingjing replied, shaking her tail and sending waves crashing.
"How much Heavenly Dew have you collected recently?" Lu Changsheng continued to inquire.
"Uh, I don’t know," Lu Lingjing pondered for a mont, then answered.
"Give the Heavenly Dew you’ve collected,"
"There’s none left."
"???" Lu Changsheng was taken aback and asked, "Where’s the Heavenly Dew?"
"I ate it all," Lu Lingjing replied honestly, even feeling a bit unsatisfied.
She thought the collection plate was far too small, taking ages to condense just a little.
"???"
Lu Changsheng was at a loss.
He hadn’t expected her to steal it all when he asked her to help gather Heavenly Dew.
"Master, you said I could eat it if I wanted, so I did,"
Seeing her master’s incredulous look, the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale shrunk back and spoke up.
If her master hadn’t said she could eat it, she surely wouldn’t have.
Just like before, when she saw the Kunpeng Egg, she was so tempted but didn’t eat it, only drooled.
"..." Lu Changsheng rembered that he indeed said that.
At the ti, seeing the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale still injured, he thought Heavenly Dew would help her, so she could eat so to aid her healing.
But he hadn’t expected her to eat it all.
However, seeing the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale’s injuries mostly healed, Lu Changsheng didn’t bla her, only said helplessly, "This ti, eating it is fine, but next ti you must leave so... at least ten drops."
He finished speaking, raised his hand, and retrieved the Dew Collection Plate from the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale’s head, his Brahman Demon True Body appearing behind him, three heads and six arms lifting it to begin collecting Heavenly Dew.
After all, since he was here, he might as well gather a few drops before returning, right?
Lu Lingjing obediently watched as the Brahman Demon True Body held the Dew Collection Plate beside her.
