What Cheng Ling used this time was not a regular arrangement. Judging from the experience of opening the exit several times in the past, the nine-square grid on Xuanwu's abdomen was indeed the key to opening the sect. The arrangement rules are different, and the opening positions of the entrances are also different.
The previous few times I opened it in a regular order, I entered the secret realm of cultivation that was a multiple of time. This time, just mess up the order! In fact, there are many ways to arrange the nine-square grid, and it is not just the regular order of one to nine, two to one, etc.
After struggling for half an hour, the arrangement was completely disrupted, and the new entrance appeared again.
Now only Jin Muchuan and Zhou Qingxi were waiting on the side, while the other monks all rushed to the position of the battleship. This is also one of Cheng Ling's strategies, to try to buy time. No one knows how long it will take to find Xuan Tiejing.
The three of them walked into the entrance and flew forward at high speed along the passage. In less than a stick of incense, Jin Musuo, who was in the lead, suddenly stopped. His aura was restrained, but his eyes burst out with a ray of light.
Cheng Ling looked up and saw a man standing not far in front of him. His eyes were closed and his hands were folded across his chest. There was no trace of vitality in his body, as if he was dead.
However, the three of them did not dare to regard him as a dead thing, and their six eyes carefully looked at each other's body. Finally, all eyes fell on his hands, and his expression changed. I saw fluorescent lights on both hands, and they were actually wearing a pair of high-grade spiritual weapon gloves. Judging from the posture of the treasure light, it was at least a top-grade spiritual weapon.
Would a person holding such a pair of spiritual weapons be a dead thing? But he couldn't feel any vitality in his body. What on earth was going on?
Cheng Ling thought rapidly in his mind, and suddenly remembered the humanoid puppets he met in Qianji Sect. Could it be that the "person" in front of him was also a puppet. He said to the two bosses: "Uncle, Senior Zhou, according to my estimation, this may be a puppet!"
The two were startled and asked at the same time: "Are you sure?"
"Well, at least 80% sure!"
"Then shall we break in?"
"Try his depth first. According to my estimation, with such a puppet guarding him, there must be something terrible in it!"
The two looked at each other, nodded, and immediately Zhou Qingxi was ready to step forward. However, Cheng Ling stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, you guys are raiding the formation for me from behind. I have experience in dealing with such puppets!"
Zhou Qingxi could only stop and said to him: "Be careful!"
Cheng Ling nodded slightly and slowly approached the front step by step. When he reached a certain distance, he saw that the puppet was still motionless. He slightly bent his fingers and flicked a small fireball towards the puppet.
"Boom~!"
There was an explosion, and the small fireball hit the puppet in the middle.
The puppet's eyes widened, and with a sudden movement, a figure rushed directly in front of Cheng Ling and punched him hard.
Cheng Ling was shocked and had no time to retreat. He could only use his hands to block the opponent's punch!
"Boom!" With a sound, he felt a sharp pain in his arm, and his body was knocked back sharply by the powerful impact. Jin Muhuan immediately moved his hands together and blasted a long series of spells. Zhou Qingxi stepped in front of Cheng Ling to prevent the puppet from continuing to attack.
Cheng Ling raised his right foot to block the retreating figure, connected his fingers with both hands, and purple thunder erupted from the ground, directly bombarding the puppet.
Zhou Qingxi punched and kicked the puppet, making him unable to move at all, while Jin Muxuan and Cheng Ling continued to send out spells and conduct long-distance attacks. The three of them worked together to face the enemy for the first time, and they cooperated very well.
The puppet was obviously a martial arts type, and every blow was harder than a thousand blows. Coupled with the top-grade spiritual weapon in his hand, he and Zhou Qingxi were fighting hand-to-hand with each other, making bursts of explosions.
However, he did not have such a strong defensive ability. He was constantly bombarded by Jin Muxuan and Cheng Ling, and gradually began to fall at a disadvantage. In less than a stick of incense, his body was shattered in large areas. However, there was no trace of flesh and blood on the broken bodies.
Jin Muchuan and Zhou Qingxi suddenly woke up. It turned out to be a puppet, and Cheng Ling was right again. At that moment, the two of them had no scruples anymore and were firing on all cylinders! Under the continuous blows of the three people, in less than a quarter of an hour, all the puppets were finally crushed.
At this moment, a white mist-like object overflowed from the puppet's head and disappeared deep into the passage in an instant.
Cheng Ling thought, this should be a split soul, its purpose is to control the puppet. Looking at the puppet corpse that was shattered on the ground, the split soul should have been given the command to protect this place. Once an intruder is discovered, they will stop it, but now after the puppet is destroyed, where will the separated soul go?
And he also thought that if he could collect the souls of these puppets, they could help him practice the Nine Meridians Tongxuan Dafa! At least there is no need to kill other human monks to obtain souls!
After the puppet shattered, Zhou Qingxi said: "Brother Jin, can you give me these gloves?"
Jin Muhuo smiled and nodded. The best spiritual weapons are not cheap. However, in this battle, Zhou Qingxi completely dragged the puppet out and exerted the greatest force, so it was not easy for him to step forward and snatch it away!
Zhou Qingxi was so happy that he immediately sat down cross-legged and started refining it with blood. Jin Muchuan and Cheng Ling also sat cross-legged to restore the fairy spiritual energy they had just consumed.
Two hours later, everyone was fully recovered. Jin Muchuan asked: "Cheng Ling, do you still plan to move forward? The puppet just now has at least the cultivation level of the Nine-Star Earth Immortal Realm!"
His face was solemn. When he entered the first level of the passage, he encountered a puppet from the Nine Stars Fairyland. It is conceivable that if he encounters the same puppet in the future, his cultivation level may be even higher.
Cheng Ling pondered for a while and said: "Uncle, the three of us work together, do you think we can defeat the Celestial Realm puppet?"
Jin Muhuo shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "I don't know, I've never met him before. As we all know, the highest level in the Star Realm is the Nine-Star Earth Immortal Realm. Once you break through the Heavenly Immortal Realm, you will ascend to the Immortal Realm, or the Holy Lord will come in person, and you can compete with the puppets of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. two."
"Holy Master? What kind of cultivation level is he?" Cheng Ling felt a sense of curiosity. The Holy Master of Wuling Sect had only met him once at a distance when he first entered the sect and had enlightenment. He didn't even know his appearance. See clearly, what kind of state it has reached is really a mystery!
Jin Muhuo said: "I don't know either, but with my current combat power, I have no chance of defeating him!"
"Oh? The Holy Lord is very strong?"
"Yes, the Holy Lord's cultivation has long reached the peak of the Nine-Star Earth Immortal Realm. The reason why he has not ascended is to wait for me to raise his cultivation to above the Earth Immortal Realm. Therefore, he has always suppressed his cultivation and refused to let go. Heaven has spied on it!”
Zhou Qingxi interjected: "I have heard my master mention the Holy Lord of the Five Spirits Sect. He is indeed very powerful and is not something we can compete with at the moment!"
Cheng Ling's heart moved and he couldn't help but ask: "What about Star Master? Who is stronger between them?"
Jin Muhao smiled and said: "How can there be such a comparison? The Holy Lord's talent is amazing, and he met many opportunities. He reached the Nine-Star Immortal Realm more than a thousand years ago. At that time, the Star Lord had just been born. Which one is better among them? Inferior, incomparable at all!”
"Oh? It seems that the star master's talent is also very strong. It only takes a thousand years to reach the nine-star fairyland!"
Zhou Qingxi said: "It's different. Every Star Lord of the Life Star is protected by the Xuanwu Star Lord, and has very rich cultivation resources. Unlike other sect disciples who have to rely on themselves."
Cheng Ling nodded silently. He finally understood some of the details. The Star Lord's Mansion is like an official sent by the royal family. It implements Star Lord's orders and, accordingly, gets a tilt in Star Lord's resources.
The other sects are different. They can only rely on their own inheritance and chance. This is like the difference between rich people and state officials on earth. As the saying goes: The poor should not fight with the rich, and the rich should not fight with the officials! In this way, the Star Lord Mansion has a unique advantage, and the other sects can only surrender.
After pondering for a while, he said decisively: "Two seniors, I want to give it a try. At least I want to see what the next puppet is like. If you can't resist it, it's not too late to go back!"
The two nodded silently, and Zhou Qingxi said: "I am a martial arts cultivator, so I should be the first to open the way!"
Cheng Ling had no objection. Zhou Qingxi got the best spiritual weapon gloves, which gave him stronger combat power. He stepped forward and dragged the puppet to attack, while he and Jin Muhuan cast spells from a distance.
It's just that the three of them walked a long way without seeing any new puppets, but came to a horizontal passage.
There are three portals standing in front of the passage. The one on the left has the word "法" written on it, the one in the middle has the word "武" engraved on it, and the one on the right is the strangest one, with the word "wine" engraved on it.
All three of them felt confused and didn't know which portal to enter!
Cheng Ling speculated: "Looking at this situation, these three portals correspond to different situations. One possibility is that there are related inheritances in them, and the other is that there are puppets that are good at different attacks."
Jin Muhuan glanced at it and asked: "You mean that the portal of Fazi may be a spell inheritance or a puppet that is good at spell attacks?"
"Yes!"
"Then what's the explanation for this wine?" Zhou Qingxi asked in confusion.
Cheng Ling twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "This..., I don't really understand it, but I don't think there is a method that is good at wine attack, and I have never heard of it, so I guess it is inherited. It’s more likely!”
Zhou Qingxi is silent!
Jin Muhuo said worriedly: "Why don't the three of us choose the same portal to enter, so that we can have someone to take care of us?"
Cheng Ling immediately objected and said, "It's not appropriate. There must be a reason for such a setting here. I know you are worried about me. My nephew thanks me in advance, but I still insist on choosing a different portal to enter!"
"Are you sure that your kid will escape unscathed?"
"I'm not 100% sure, but at least 70-80% sure! Don't worry, I won't make fun of my own life!"
"Oh, so it seems you want to choose the first portal on the left?"
"No, it's best for my uncle to enter the first door on the left. My nephew chooses the wine door. As for Senior Zhou, the door in the middle belongs to you!"
Cheng Ling had his own ideas. Even if his guess was correct, it contained the inheritance of the Nine Star Sect. But with the Golden Page, I really don’t care about these inheritances. It is better to choose a special "wine" portal, and maybe there will be unexpected gains!
