Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

With a "bang," the heavy stone coffin smashed onto the ground, causing the entire ground to shake violently along with it, and even spreading a powerful energy shockwave; the over hundred Wen Bone Puppets carrying the coffin instantly turned to dust.

Looking at the massive stone coffin before him, Xu Zhangqing's pupils fluctuated violently: "It was really carried out?"

You have to know, this is a Secret Realm that only opens once every Five Hundred Years.

Moreover, only Golden Core Stage cultivators can enter.

Right now, it has stubbornly been emptied bit by bit by "One's Own People."

Out of safety considerations, Xu Zhangqing did not approach immediately, but instead awakened another batch of Wen Bone Puppets, attempting to pry open the tightly sealed stone coffin.

However, no matter how he tried, he could not do it.

First, this thing is too heavy.

Second, no loophole could be found.

Xu Zhangqing raised an eyebrow: "Just short of this last tremor, and you still give me a difficult problem?"

Of course, this situation was both unexpected and yet reasonable.

When it comes down to it, a stone coffin of such scale, the things inside are absolutely not simple.

If it could be opened easily, it would have been taken away by the experts who entered the Secret Realm before.

Fortunately, Xu Zhangqing himself masters many top-tier techniques, and he began various attempts.

For example, Spiritual Runes, Artifact Refining, Alchemy, and so on and so forth; every usable means was tried once.

The result showed that what truly worked was fundamentally not technique.

But rather……

After Xu Zhangqing tried many methods and pondered many means, but still could not open this stone coffin, helpless, he chose the "unorthodox path."

He first hid himself inside a sunken ship, then put away the Thunder Dragon Water-Avoiding Boat, and brought it into his Personal Space.

Using this thing's Swallowing Evolution ability, he wanted to see if there would be any effect.

The result was Never Expected, it really dares to ride ah.

No, it really is useful.

Accompanied by bursts of Thunder Power raging, the originally seemingly whole stone coffin, as if stimulated, actually triggered a series of vibrations.

Before long, the Spiritual Runes on top jumped with lightning along with it, as if activated.

Then "Click" sounds rang out in succession, becoming clearer and clearer, louder and louder.

Not Long After, the entire heavy stone coffin shook violently, the coffin lid automatically popped open, and the internal space was exposed bit by bit.

However, what surprised Xu Zhangqing was that inside here was not the foul Black Qi like in those small coffins, but instead cool like Wood Spirit Power, containing rich Life Force.

He rose into the air, floating mid-air, then looked down from above into the inside; the next second his pupils contracted, their size comparable to needle eyes.

"This is Ancestor Wen Bone?"

"So fresh, not at all like a Corpse!"

"Could it be, Ancestor Wen Bone didn't die?"

Looking at the "Corpse" in the stone coffin, Xu Zhangqing was shocked beyond measure.

The Ancestor Wen Bone inside the stone coffin still maintained the dignity a powerhouse should have.

He was not lying down, but sitting cross-legged in the coffin, spine ramrod straight, as if he would open his eyes the next second.

A dark gold Daoist Robe, though faded, had not the slightest damage.

The body was preserved near perfectly.

Features full, jawline sharp, even the hair strands at the temples were distinct root by root.

Only the skin tone bore a jade-like pale greenish-white, without a trace of a living person's blood color.

On the exposed parts of his body, special "Spiritual Marks" could be seen.

This is something more advanced and ancient than Spiritual Runes; it looks not complex, even very simple.

But actually, inside it contains Law Power of heaven and earth, every stroke earth-shattering.

At this moment, the Spiritual Marks covering his whole body writhed like living things, appearing exceptionally Strange.

His whole body possessed both dense Life Aura and rich Decay Qi.

As if this person was alive while simultaneously seeming to have died, and not a shred of Consciousness fluctuation could be felt, like only a shell remained.

The inner walls of the stone coffin were carved full of Spiritual Runes even more complex than those outside, seemingly drawn with Blood mixed with Netherworld Mud; even now they still glowed with Dark Red light, and were even absorbing Wood and Water Spirit Qi.

In the corner of the stone coffin, lay a Jade Pendant cracked into three pieces, unknown what use it had.

Xu Zhangqing's eyes shone terrifyingly bright: "If I refine Ancestor Wen Bone into my own Puppet, wouldn't that be Obtaining a great Assistance?"

Originally, his own Puppetry has already risen to Miao Shou Level, terrifyingly strong.

What's more, this Ancestor Wen Bone before him is merely a Corpse, and now inside his Personal Space, there is absolutely no need to Worry about Danger.

Thinking here, Xu Zhangqing did not hesitate at all, Decisively taking out three sticks of Soul-Separating Incense from the Lightly Vitality Gourd.

Incense inserted, Immediately mobilizing the five kinds of Spiritual Power in his Qi Sea, binding Ancestor Wen Bone's Four Limbs and torso, then pulling him up; first stripping off the clothes, then floating in mid-air.

Then drawing talismans out of thin air, using Binding Spirit Talismans to seal the other's Five Features and nine orifices.

Immediately after taking out Green Pattern Wood, he waved his hand to turn it into three wooden nails, driven into Ancestor Wen Bone's crown in a triangular formation.

At this time, the hair Xu Zhangqing left behind earlier played a role; he took out a portion, soaked it with Spiritual Power, then began winding it around the wooden nails.

Circle after circle, until the entire head was covered.

Immediately afterward, he took out the Three-Aperture Spirit Brush he had just obtained, stained it with his own essence blood, and then drew puppet runes on the body of the Puppet: Ke Hen Lao Zu.

The wrists were for the Silk-Wrapping Talisman.

The chest was for the Spirit-Guiding Talisman.

The glabella was for the Binding Thought Talisman.

The entire process took who knows how long; in any case, it was extremely tedious.

Naturally, Xu Zhangqing did not care at all; inside his Personal Space, he was extremely safe.

Anyway, with single-minded focus, he only thought of refining the body of the Puppet: Ke Hen Lao Zu into his own puppet.

When Xu Zhangqing set down the final stroke on the glabella of the Puppet: Ke Hen Lao Zu, a wisp of extremely faint golden light suddenly fell from the Void into the rune.

Special Effect 5: Rune Engraving Draws Heaven and Earth Law Power Response

Struck by the golden light, the Binding Thought Talisman actually automatically extended fine Golden Lines, which intertwined into a cluster with the Puppet: Ke Hen Lao Zu's original Spiritual Marks.

Even stranger, the vague phantom of the character "Lock" emerged within the Golden Lines; it actually bypassed the stage requiring Reinforcement, becoming extraordinarily stable.

Intangible Law Power lent a hand, as if Heaven and Earth had granted Recognition to this "waste" utilization.

Almost in an Instant, Xu Zhangqing and the body of the Puppet: Ke Hen Lao Zu generated a feeling of hearts and minds connecting.

As if a single thought, a single command, could make him act.

At the Same Time, the Attribute Panel popped up detailed information.

Puppet: Ke Hen Lao Zu

Effect 1: Power of Inscriptions

Effect 2: Power of Runes

Effect 3: Power of the Remnant Body

Special Effect 1: Shared Perception, puppet and Master hearts and minds connect

Negative Effect 1: Every seven days, must enter Zhuan Gu Zhong to prolong life

Negative Effect 2: Limited by Master's realm, puppet can only exert Golden Core Power

Xu Zhangqing raised an eyebrow: "Thought I'd obtained a powerful Assistance, didn't expect to be limited by my own strength."

Regret is regret, pity is pity.

What he truly cared about was the Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman that could withstand Thunder Tribulation head-on.

Therefore, Xu Zhangqing did not hesitate in the slightest, Immediately issuing the first command.

In an Instant, a Spiritual Mark on the Puppet: Ke Hen Lao Zu's Left Hand wriggled, then split open a crack, and ten strands of golden silk jumped out.

They outlined in the air, quickly Transforming into ten Spirit Talismans!
