Chapter 782: Chapter 358: Fourth Rank Puppet; Domain Invasion

Furthermore, with the proficient panel at his disposal, his future success rate in crafting Fourth Rank Puppets will far exceed that of average Fourth Rank Puppet Masters.

This means that he has reached a considerably high level in the art of puppetry.

"Now that the Fourth Rank Puppet is complete, let’s test the Puppet Array’s effectiveness!"

Xu Ping forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and with the newly crafted Fourth Rank Puppet, he arrived at the spacious area in the underground mansion specifically meant for testing.

With a wave of his sleeve, nine Quasi-Fourth Rank Puppets appeared before him, lined up neatly together with the newly crafted Fourth Rank Puppet.

"Activate!"

Gazing at the ten Puppets before him, Xu Ping’s eyes revealed a hint of anticipation.

He pinched a spell with his right hand, while his left palm faced upward, as a drop of golden essence blood slowly rose and hovered above his palm.

Boom!

In an instant, the blood in Xu Ping’s body surged, and a vast ocean-like life force rushed out from within him.

The ten Puppets simultaneously emitted a dazzling light which intertwined, gradually condensing into a complex array pattern.

"It’s done!"

With the Puppet Array taking shape, a hint of ecstasy flashed in Xu Ping’s eyes.

However, as he carefully sensed the power contained within this array, his brows gradually furrowed.

Because although the power of this Puppet Array was indeed enhanced compared to before, this enhancement had not achieved the qualitative leap he expected, nor did it meet his ideal requirements.

"It seems that one Fourth Rank Puppet is still somewhat lacking."

Xu Ping contemplated inwardly, with a hint of barely noticeable disappointment flickering across his brow.

He raised his hand, changed the magic technique, and the newly formed Puppet Array dispersed like a tide.

The ten Puppets returned to silence, standing quietly in the mansion.

Although the addition of one Fourth Rank Puppet did enhance the array’s power, this enhancement did not achieve the qualitative transformation effect he had anticipated.

Based on Xu Ping’s years of deep research and practical experience in puppetry, he had a clear judgment in his heart:

"Another Fourth Rank Puppet must be crafted."

"With this, the power of the Puppet Array can at least reach the near-top level of Mid-Stage Nascent Soul, with even stronger defensive power."

Thinking of this, Xu Ping couldn’t help but glance at the Storage Ring.

In that tiny space, two complete sets of Fourth Rank Puppet materials lay silently.

"I still have two sets of Fourth Rank Puppet materials, so I should be able to craft another one."

Xu Ping pondered silently.

For a typical Fourth Rank Puppet Master, even with two complete sets of precious materials, it requires excellent luck and nearly perfect execution to possibly succeed in crafting a Fourth Rank Puppet.

The difficulty of crafting a Fourth Rank Puppet is notoriously high throughout the Cultivation Realm.

But Xu Ping has absolute confidence.

The existence of the proficient panel grants him a remarkable advantage that is hard for others to achieve.

...

Time flies, four years have quietly gone by.

During these four years, Xu Ping devoted most of his energy to crafting the second Fourth Rank Puppet.

This day, in the Artifact Refining Chamber.

As the last roar of violent energy in the mansion subsided completely, the dazzling light from crafting gradually retracted, revealing a brand new Fourth Rank Puppet standing tall.

"The second Fourth Rank Puppet... is done!"

Looking at the new Fourth Rank Puppet, Xu Ping felt much calmer than the first success, yet a satisfied smile still hung on his lips.

The two sets of Fourth Rank Puppet materials predictably succeeded in crafting another Fourth Rank Puppet.

The accumulation of experience gave him more confidence in success and made his mindset more stable.

Xu Ping now eagerly wants to test the power of the Puppet Array.

The addition of two Fourth Rank Puppets will surely cause a qualitative leap in the entire array.

....

In the spacious area of the underground mansion of Cyan Cloud Peak, the ten Puppets lined up neatly again.

"Activate!"

With Xu Ping pinching his spell, the Puppet Array instantly formed.

This time, as soon as the array formed, an immensely terrifying pressure erupted with a bang.

The entire spiritual peak where the mansion stood seemed to sink slightly, and the invisible force field distorted the air.

"Impressive!"

Feeling this overwhelming pressure, Xu Ping’s smile grew even brighter.

This time, the Puppet Array indeed achieved the qualitative leap he had long awaited.

Now the power of this array can be compared to the true top-tier Mid-Stage Nascent Soul giants, just a bit shy.

More importantly, the defensive power of this array is extremely astonishing.

The ten Puppets coordinate with each other, forming a defensive network with virtually no blind spots.

"It’s just two Fourth Rank Puppets for now. If all ten Puppets were replaced with Fourth Rank Puppets, the power would definitely be able to wrestle with Late-Stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivators!"

Imagining this possibility, Xu Ping couldn’t help but feel a surge of strong expectation.

Once reaching that level, he would truly stand at the pinnacle of worldly power and possess genuine self-protection ability in this dangerous world.

After all, Divinity Transformation Cultivators are too transcendent and rarely take action in typical circumstances.

And the Late-Stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivators are almost the strongest existence walking in the world.

If he could have the strength to rival Great Cultivators, then in this Cultivation Realm, the entities that could truly threaten him would be few and far between.

But shortly after, Xu Ping found himself facing another dilemma.
