Chapter 105: Enemies Approaching

“Then I will rely entirely on you, my young friend.”

The Old Tree cupped his hands towards Chen Ansheng, and then the space fluctuated for a moment, and a blue crystal flew in front of him.

“My young friend, this is a telekinesis stone that I crafted by combining the soul power laws from the Martial Immortal World. You may also refer to it as a spirit power stone, and I gift it to you as a meeting present.”

If Chen Ansheng were in his real body, he wouldn’t dare to take that blue crystal recklessly, but now that he was controlling a clone, he naturally took it without hesitation.

“Thank you, senior.”

Chen Ansheng had always been open to gifts; one had to show appreciation, right?

“I wonder what this telekinesis stone is useful for?” Chen Ansheng asked.

The Old Tree replied slowly, “It doesn’t have much use; this stone incorporates some superficial soul power laws and can amplify your existing spirit power by fifty percent.”

Chen Ansheng felt pleased and said, “Senior, your methods are admirable! By the way, senior, if I elevate my realm in the future, my spirit power will naturally increase. Will the telekinesis stone still be useful?”

The Old Tree responded, “Below the Immortal King realm, it will continue to have amplification effects for you. I see you are currently controlling a puppet; with the telekinesis stone, you could easily control two or three… Hey, wait, that’s strange, you are actually controlling a half-puppet?”

Chen Ansheng was taken aback and asked, “What do you mean, senior? What is a half-puppet?”

The Old Tree pondered for a moment and then understood, saying, “Your puppet technique is quite exquisite; no wonder you didn’t even know that you had a half-puppet.”

Hearing the Old Tree’s words, Chen Ansheng was even more perplexed and quickly asked, “Senior, could you clarify?”

The Old Tree smiled lightly and asked, “My young friend, have you ever used your puppet technique on a cultivator whose spirit power far exceeds yours?”

Chen Ansheng had only used the puppet technique a handful of times, and he didn’t need to think hard before the image of Zhong Li appeared in his mind.

However, this old man truly had some impressive skills—he could tell even when his real body wasn’t in front of him!

Putting that aside, Chen Ansheng replied, “I have indeed used the puppet technique on a Xuan Immortal realm cultivator. Of course, that was under her voluntary and unguarded condition; otherwise, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity.”

The Old Tree nodded slowly, “Hmm, just as I expected. But what you don’t know is that your puppet technique left some impressions on her immortal soul; she didn’t become a puppet but was swayed by your commands. Of course, if she used her spirit power to resist, she could defy your orders.”

“Is there such a thing!”

Chen Ansheng was stunned.

Then, the moments he spent with Zhong Li naturally surfaced in his mind.

“No wonder I suggested that she catch spirit beasts to eat, and she flew into a rage…”

“No wonder I scolded her and told her to eat sh*t, and she nearly wanted to tear me apart…”

“No wonder when Li Xiuyuan wanted to hit me, she ended up slapping him a hundred times…”

“No wonder she won’t allow me to suggest anything in front of her; and every time she looked ready to hit me, she immediately seemed weak and exhausted…”

At this point, Chen Ansheng finally understood: it turned out that his use of the puppet technique hadn’t completely failed, creating a rather interesting half-puppet!

“Damn it, the Demoness must be aware of this herself; she still dares to bully me with such ferocity, tricking me into making a deal with her. Now you’re done for!”

Now that Chen Ansheng understood this, he couldn’t help but recall the accounts of grievances noted in his revenge notebook. When he returned, he would have to deal with the Demoness properly.

Seeing Chen Ansheng in a daze with a cheeky smile on his face, the Old Tree asked, “My young friend, are you alright?”

Chen Ansheng came to his senses and quickly replied, “I’m fine, I’m fine. Thank you, senior, for your guidance. If you hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known that I was controlling a half-puppet. By the way, how did you notice it?”

The Old Tree smiled slightly and said, “I was originally a pure Law Cultivator, possessing a Law Soul and Law Eye. Your puppet technique is indeed exquisite, but when you manipulate it with soul thought, it causes the vibrations of the law threads, which is how I detected it.”

Chen Ansheng understood the old man’s meaning; in any case, such a small technique couldn’t escape this otherworldly Law Cultivator’s notice.

“Ahem…” At that moment, the Old Tree coughed weakly. He said, “My young friend, I need to rest for a while; let’s end our conversation here for today.”

“Alright.” Chen Ansheng nodded and said, “I have some purple crystals; I will throw some into the Spirit Pond later so you can recover.”

At this time, Chen Ansheng was not so wary anymore, because if this old man truly needed the immortal stones to preserve his life, he certainly wouldn’t kill him to cut off his own source of sustenance.

Let’s say, even if he were trying to deceive him, there was no need to be so afraid; his Cross-Boundary Stone had a soul protection effect. If the old man tried to control him with spells, the Cross-Boundary Stone would guard him, giving him enough time to react and escape back to the Immortal Realm.

“Thank you, my young friend.” The Old Tree slightly nodded and then said, “By the way, my young friend, this Spirit Pool can purify your physique to the holy level at most. Once I recover and repair the broken laws, there will be a chance for you to advance to the noble physique, or even the emperor physique.”

Highest holy level?

Chen Ansheng felt that was already satisfying.

The top-notch physique was the threshold for achieving the Immortal King. The holy level was the threshold for cultivators to break through to the peak Immortal King.

Thinking about becoming an Immortal King, Chen Ansheng still didn’t dare to imagine it, even if he had a physique of corresponding quality; it felt too dreamy.

For now, that was enough!

“I understand. Senior, please go rest now.”

Chen Ansheng cupped his hands to the Old Tree, and the wisp of fog within the Old Tree floated away, and he retracted his puppet.

Then, Chen Ansheng personally went to the edge of the azure water pond, maintaining the connection with the Cross-Boundary Stone through his spirit thought. If anything unusual happened, he would immediately take action.

“My lord, there is more in this chapter, please click the next page to continue reading; it gets even more exciting!”

After a moment, Chen Ansheng threw tens of thousands of purple crystals into the azure pond.

He entered the pond and carefully felt the changes in the water.

“It turns out it isn’t the immortal spirit energy that purifies my physique, but some unknown spiritual energy.”

Chen Ansheng could roughly sense that the immortal spirit energy merely substituted some unknown spiritual energy to help him enhance his physique. As for how the old man benefited from it to sustain his life, Chen Ansheng had no way of knowing.

……

While Chen Ansheng was cultivating in the azure pond, the Long Family was confronting a great enemy.

Outside the Long Family estate, several grand teams were flying through the sky.

“Old Ancestor, it’s bad! The Northern Ancient Holy Land has gathered several factions to attack our family!”

A cultivator from the Immortal realm hurried to report.

Long Que opened his eyes; with such a disturbance, how could he, as a peak Immortal, fail to notice it?

Moreover, Mu Wan had already secretly informed him about this matter a month ago.

“Go and hold the defenses of the forbidden law array. I will be there shortly.”

“Yes, Old Ancestor.”

Then, Long Que soared into the air and headed towards the Long Family ancestral hall.

“Three elder brothers, enemies are invading. Quickly come out and protect the family.”

As soon as Long Que’s voice fell, the ancestral hall trembled, and three statues cracked open, revealing three figures.

“Brother Que, what kind of formidable enemies are we dealing with that requires you to summon us out?” one of them asked with a serious expression.

“The old man from the Northern Ancient has broken into the Immortal Nine realm. He is here to attack our family, so I came to request the three elder brothers to emerge.” Long Que replied calmly.

“Immortal Nine!”

Upon hearing Long Que’s words, the three ancestors of the Long Family were all shocked and serious.

“Is there room for negotiation?”

Facing an Immortal Nine, the three naturally felt apprehensive. If they could avoid battle, it would be worth it, even if they had to pay a price.

“What’s the need for negotiation! We are not without the strength to fight. Please, three elder brothers, look.”

As he spoke, Long Que waved his hand, and four superb immortal artifacts floated in front of the three.
