At the sa ti.
Inside the Stone Cone of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple.
Hua Xin sat cross-legged on an Angel Clan corpse, clad in white, her flowing ink-black hair and appearance bearing a striking resemblance to Fairy Yun Shang.
Her once ethereal soul body had beco much more substantial.
"It seems you’re not an ordinary person; your soul has recovered to the Divinity Transformation Realm so swiftly."
On a towering stone tablet, the White-robed Skeleton watched Hua Xin, a contemplative look on its face.
Hua Xin opened her eyes and carefully bowed: "It’s thanks to you, Senior, that I have been restored to the Divinity Transformation Realm."
In just a few days of acquaintance, the more she learned about the White-robed Skeleton, the more she felt its unfathomable depth.
It had effortlessly repaired her remnant soul to the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Crucially, the other party seed to be just a remnant soul itself!
She couldn’t imagine what kind of existence it was at its peak.
The White-robed Skeleton gave Hua Xin a deep look and said, "Since your soul has reached the Divinity Transformation Realm, it’s useful."
With a flick of his finger, the various Angel Clan corpses on the ground suddenly dismbered.
He took intact parts from different corpses and assembled them together.
Creating an Angel Clan body identical to Hua Xin’s form.
"Go in."
Hua Xin hesitated and said, "Senior, does this count as possession?"
She was reluctant to rebuild in the identity of the Angel Clan.
"No, it’s just a puppet; it will consu your soul power."
Only then did Hua Xin feel relieved, and with no other choice, she turned into a wisp of soul fog and drifted into the puppet.
She imdiately sensed the puppet’s strength; the body alone had reached the level of Heavenly Person Decline.
Additionally, the body stored so Holy Power, enabling the casting of so Angel Clan spells.
The overall combat power was no less than that of Heavenly Person Decline.
However, the White-robed Skeleton would not simply give her a puppet for free.
Sure enough, the White-robed Skeleton said, "Go out and find Jiang Fan, bring him back!"
"If he resists, shatter his Dao body and bring back his soul."
Hua Xin’s heart leaped with secret joy.
Was she finally being released?
Didn’t that an she had a chance to escape?
As she was pondering this, the White-robed Skeleton pointed with a raised finger, and nurous nine-colored Thunder Arcs erged in the air, converging on the puppet’s forehead.
Forming a seal of nine-colored Thunder Arc.
This was identical to that nine-colored crystal, containing a destructive power that even sages found hard to withstand.
In addition to that.
The seal suppressed Hua Xin’s soul in the puppet, making it impossible for her to get away.
The White-robed Skeleton said indifferently:
"If you don’t bring back Jiang Fan, you’re of no use either."
The implication was clear, if the mission failed, it would activate the seal remotely and kill Hua Xin along with the puppet.
Hua Xin was filled with awe; she knew there was no free lunch.
Moreover, the primary function of the seal was not to prevent her from escaping.
But rather to prevent the sages of Central Earth from obstructing her from bringing back Jiang Fan.
However, regardless, she was free now.
"Yes, Senior, I will not fail my mission," Hua Xin respectfully bowed.
The White-robed Skeleton waved its hand, sending Hua Xin out.
It looked up at the sky with sharp eyes: "Heavenly Realm, I will be back soon!"
As for Hua Xin, once she appeared in the outside world, she executed a few instantaneous movents and fled the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple.
Breathing in the long-lost air of freedom, an uncontrollable joy appeared on her face:
"I’m finally free!"
"Jiang Fan, you scoundrel, you trapped in the Ghost Soul Crystal for so long and even threw into the Thunder God Heavenly Palace."
"I’m here to settle the score!"
"Hmmph, you can’t even imagine in your wildest dreams, that I’ve already reached the strength of Heavenly Person Decline, can you?"
"When we et, don’t cry out of fear!"
Heavenly chanism Pavilion.
Jiang Fan looked down at the empty old site of the Heavenly chanism Pavilion.
With his current insight and experience, re-examining the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, he had vaguely guessed the nature of its underground world.
Now, all that remained was to verify it.
He ca to the Transmission Hall and found the previously disconnected array had been reconnected.
Undoubtedly, it was Tian Ge who had been here.
"She really ca for the Heavenly chanism Pavilion!"
"Risking such great danger to enter the underground world, what is she plotting?"
Jiang Fan pondered secretly.
Understand, that when she first arrived in Taicang State, her fate might not have been imprisonnt.
To minimize threats, Taicang State could have executed her before the arrival of the Ancient Giant, which was highly possible.
Tian Ge was practically gambling with her life.
With questions in mind, Jiang Fan stepped onto the array and entered the underground world.
Soon, familiar Yin Qi rushed toward him; the underground world was still as dark and gloomy as ever, filled with Yin Qi everywhere.
And as Jiang Fan ventured further into the deeper layers, the Yin Qi beca increasingly dense.
Until he reached the tenth layer.
Standing on the Transmission Array, he wasn’t in a rush to find Tian Ge.
Because, before that, there was a place he had to visit alone.
That was the cave residence Wu Manyue had once explored.
Not only did she discover the Puppetry Technique there, but she also acquired nurous Space Magic Treasures, making Jiang Fan envious at the ti.
Now, tis had changed, these treasures no longer held much appeal to Jiang Fan.
However, he still wanted to visit.
Because Wu Manyue had discovered a portrait of a woman raising chickens inside this cave residence.
And the woman in the portrait was the Ancient Saint of Cloud Desolation.
This detail was hard for him to ignore.
Raising his eyes, he scanned the surroundings, recalling that Hua Xin had once ntioned that cave residence was not far from the Transmission Array.
A quick glance around did not reveal anything unusual.
This was in line with his expectations.
The tenth layer was the territory of Ayushura King; if anomalies were easily detectable, Ayushura King would have discovered them in the past centuries.
How could it have been left to Wu Manyue to exploit?
But where was this cave residence?
After a brief thought, he probed his consciousness into the Heavenly Thunder Stone, searching for a long ti before discovering a small dusty pouch.
This was seized from Wu Manyue’s hands during a joint mission.
It held all sorts of Space Magic Treasures.
He imdiately took out a few items, sensing the aura on them, and continued searching around.
Soon.
At the foot of a black mountain not far away, he detected the sa aura.
He imdiately flashed over.
This mountain looked unremarkable, with nothing out of the ordinary.
But as Jiang Fan raised his palm, the mountain cracked, revealing a blood-red crystal hidden within the mountain’s core!
Nurous layers of array shone on its surface, sealing its aura within.
Jiang Fan exclaid: "Wu Manyue managed to find such a place?"
"Her treasure-hunting skills are top-notch."
Gazing at the entrance of the blood-red crystal, Jiang Fan summoned the Immortal King’s Undying Bell to lead the way, following closely behind.
Upon entering the crystal, he found the cave residence was quite small.
Several yards wide, over ten yards deep.
The interior had long been ransacked by Wu Manyue, leaving only a bare nail on the wall.
All that t the eye was the stone wall of blood-red crystal.
Jiang Fan’s mouth twitched: "She almost moved this entire crystal cave residence."
Still hoping to find clues about the Ancient Saint, it seed futile.
He turned to leave the cave residence.
But as he approached the entrance, he suddenly stopped.
"Sothing’s not right."
Jiang Fan turned back to asure the depth of the cave residence with his gaze, recalling the length of the crystal observed from outside.
He realized the cave depth was only two-thirds of the crystal’s length.
With this in mind, he went to the deepest part of the cave, gazing at the bare red crystal barrier, and raised his palm with a smack.
Crack!
The barrier shattered, revealing a hidden small space!
