Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 587 - 336: Refining a Heaven Rank Nine-Tailed Fox Bear, Great Puppet Seal! Elder Zhou Yan!

A clear and intricate connection was established; with just a thought, Jiang Shu could manipulate the newly refined Nine-tailed Fox Bear.

With a wave of his hand, all nine fluffy tails on the Nine-tailed Fox Bear Puppet stood upright, resembling a peacock spreading its feathers, and due to being refined into a puppet, these tails no longer displayed the embryonic forms of the Great Dao.

But this does not mean that the power of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox Puppet has greatly diminished; on these nine tails, Jiang Shu has sealed the divine skills he cultivated, all related to the spirit, and if unleashed, they could spell great trouble for a Nirvana Realm True Monarch.

"Rustle... rustle... rustle..."

Primordial power surged like gentle waves, washing away all traces of Jiang Shu's presence within the cave mansion. After storing the Nine-tailed Fox Bear in a storage bag, Jiang Shu mixed and refined some discarded treasure into a sphere.

After using the Kunpeng Swallowing Technique to devour the soul of the Nine-tailed Fox Bear, his spiritual power nearly doubled. At full power, he could even manipulate two Heavenly Rank puppets while still in the Primordial Pill Realm.

"The spiritual cultivation system, in the Cang Mang Domain, which focuses on cultivating divine skills and primordial power, truly represents a lower-dimensional attack. Ordinary cultivators, if their spiritual power is naturally sparse, even with unique understanding in puppets, elixirs, talismans, and the path of artifact refining, find it difficult to truly comprehend the Great Dao."

"The prerequisite for comprehending these Great Dao requires spiritual power far surpassing that of the same realm. Manipulating a puppet at the same realm with one Heavenly Rank puppet versus three such puppets is like the difference between heaven and earth."

After storing away the concealing formation outside the cave mansion, Jiang Shu gazed as though through distant skies, observing the ongoing war between the Human Clan and the Demon Race.

For half a year, enhancing his strength, honing divine skills, and refining puppets, he scarcely rested a day.

Had it been an ordinary cultivator, they might have indulged a bit.

However, for Jiang Shu who is devoted to the Great Dao, such cultivation only made his spirit more invigorated.

Especially when he thought about the constant emergence of materials and resources in the Endless Sea as long as the war continued for another day. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Currently, he has only refined one Heavenly Rank puppet.

The path of puppetry is just beginning.

He still has ample opportunities to slaughter transformed demons and then refine them into puppets!

If successful, not only would he have an ace up his sleeve in the Cang Mang Domain, but also in the Star Ruins Realm. He wonders whether these puppets can be carried to the Jiuyu Alliance's Genius Trial Tower.

The thought passed fleetingly.

There are still eight years left; he's not in any rush.

He'll focus on enhancing himself in the Cang Mang Domain, ideally discovering Zhou Yan during the war and killing him.

This way, advancing to the Nirvana Realm would bring true peace of mind.

Although no news of Zhou Yan came when the war started, half a year on, surely some changes have occurred.

First, return to the sect to inquire about the seniors' status.

Determining the direction, Jiang Shu transformed into a streak of light, racing away.

To him now, Zhou Yan poses no threat whatsoever.

Even if Zhou Yan advanced to the Nirvana Realm, killing him would just take a bit more effort.

In fact, it might not need personal intervention.

The Nine-tailed Fox Bear Puppet alone suffices.

The only issue is that with the sect focused on preparing for the looming war, the investigation results are yet unresolved.

He and Zhou Yan, being fellow disciples, lack concrete evidence, making action somewhat troublesome.

Ideally, he should advance to the Nirvana Realm immediately after taking action.

Become a True Disciple.

The sect's true inheritors wield life-and-death authority, acting first and reporting later is not impossible.

As long as Zhou Yan truly committed the crime of killing fellow disciples.

Then even if the Peak Master comes, he'll have no grounds for blame.

At this moment.

Thirty thousand miles away.

Lu Qingling fought alongside her fellow disciples from the Outer Sect of the True Martial Sect against Condensing Seed Realm demon beasts.

Half a year into the war, some seniors, true disciples, and powerful Inner Sect disciples from the Eight Great Sects have entered the inner circle of the Endless Sea.

Most outer territories have gradually been occupied by the Eight Great Sects, so in relatively safe areas, it's mainly Inner Sect Primordial Pill Realm disciples leading Outer Tier Furnace Fire Realm disciples in honing themselves.

Enhancing themselves through combat.

The war doesn't just bring resources from demon beasts; it's also about the growth of disciples.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, Lu Qingling flipped her hand, and a primordial power divine skill erupted, directly smashing the skull of a Condensing Seed Realm demon beast.

Before the Condensing Seed Realm demon beast stood a female cultivator of the Furnace Fire Realm who trained eight divine skills. She retreated swiftly, her chest heaving, eyes wide and trembling slightly in both hands and feet.

Just now, she was a hair's breadth away from being hit by the dying strike of the Condensing Seed Realm demon beast, potentially losing an entire arm.

If not for Senior Sister Lu's timely intervention...

"Your attack was too slow. Once a divine skill is unleashed, no reservation should be held. Compared to demon beasts, our cultivators lack the physical strength, longevity, and even divine skill powers inherent in their bloodline."

"But why can we humans triumph in war? It's because of wisdom. The timing of divine skill release is wisdom, the combination of divine skills is wisdom, using elixirs, talismans, manipulating puppets, and wielding treasure is wisdom as well."

"Don't think about reserving power, holding back here and there. Just a little miss, and it could cost your life!"

Lu Qingling's voice was extremely stern. She's responsible for leading her fellow disciples and naturally hopes they quickly adapt to the battle's rhythm.

"These are demon beasts, not sparring among fellow disciples. Had I not intervened, your arm would be completely torn apart."

"You know what losing a limb means at the Furnace Fire Realm level, don't you? Unless you cultivate to the Nirvana Realm, can you reconstruct your body? But even you, with all limbs intact, might not reach the Nirvana Realm. Losing an arm, you still want to aim for it?"

"Just now, if you unleashed your divine skill with no reservations, you could have slain the Condensing Seed Realm beast. Although divine skill leaves your primordial power nearly drained, elixirs could restore more than half, and I and junior sisters would protect you."

"You're not fighting alone."

The more Lu Qingling spoke, the lower the head of the Outer Sect female disciples drooped. They've followed Lu Qingling early on, witnessing her become an Inner Sect disciple. Her words carry significant weight in their hearts.

"What your Senior Sister Lu said is quite right. The stricter the demands, the more concerning the care offered to you. After all, the war's situation could change daily, perhaps necessitating Primordial Pill Realm cultivators to enter the inner circle of the Endless Sea or head to the border city between the Cang Mang Domain and the Endless Sea."

"If your growth rate is slow, future crises will be magnified infinitely. Never fear resource consumption. Think about it, if you can kill the Condensing Seed Realm demon beast, can't you obtain an elixir to recover primordial power? Though you might not gain much resource in the exchange, your strength will improve, and your mastery of divine skills will grow, increasing your survival odds in this war."

"Only by surviving can you grasp opportunities."

As Lu Qingling opened her mouth to say more, a voice familiar to her echoed from the sky. She looked up, seeming to recall something, changing her expression, mouth slightly opened then quickly shut, turning to spiritual communication: "Senior Brother, Zhou Yan is back."

"He has advanced to the Nirvana Realm and become an elder of our True Martial Sect."
