Chapter 2326

Liu Yan was only devoured by that strange stone, and after breaking out of the shell, he actually had his own body.

This matter is incredible no matter how you think about it.

Doesn’t this mean that the strange stone has the effect of a Life-Giving Fruit？ How against the sky is this？

Liu Yan slightly furrowed his brows and said softly, “I seem to know a little about my situation… I don’t know why, but I feel that this body of mine is a puppet body.”

“Puppet？” Yang Kai raised his brows.

Liu Yan nodded slightly： “Yes, there are many array diagrams and mysterious refining marks in my body. However, these marks are perfectly natural and have a long history. They should have been refined by a powerful person many years ago.”

Yang Kai’s expression changed slightly, as if he suddenly remembered something, and exclaimed in a low voice： “Spiritual-level puppet？”

Before, he heard Hua Qingsi say that the puppets of the Thousand Leaves Sect were divided into several grades. Besides the Earth-level and Heaven-level puppets he had seen, there was also a higher-level Spiritual-level puppet. And it was rumored that the Spiritual-level puppet already had its own spiritual wisdom. It could not only think independently but also gradually become stronger through cultivation. However, even in the heyday of the Thousand Leaves Sect, there were not many Spiritual-level puppets. And with the decline of the Thousand Leaves Sect, these Spiritual-level puppets also didn’t know where they went.

Yang Kai didn’t believe it very much before, but now Liu Yan’s situation can only be explained by a Spiritual-level puppet.

That strange rock was not something naturally formed at all, but something refined by a certain generation of expert in Qianye Sect. It should be regarded as the embryonic form of a spiritual-level puppet. After Liuyan’s soul entered it, it broke out of its shell and became what it is now, completing its final form.

In this way, it seems that the so-called spiritual-level puppet is not born with spiritual wisdom. Instead, it is formed by fusing the soul of a living being with the body of a puppet using a similar method.

Thinking of this, Yang Kai suddenly saw the light and became even more convinced that his guess was correct.

No wonder when Ye Chong mentioned that opportunity, he kept staring at Liuyan non-stop.

With his extraordinary eyesight, he could naturally see at a glance that Liuyan had no physical body and was just the incarnation of a weapon spirit. The embryonic form of a spiritual-level puppet in the cave was undoubtedly the best choice for Liuyan to reside.

In this way, if he hadn’t seen Liuyan at that time, he might not have mentioned this opportunity. It was precisely because he saw Liuyan that he would give some guidance.

But he didn’t point it out too clearly. Presumably, he himself was also a little reluctant. That strange rock was probably the last embryonic form of a spiritual-level puppet in this world. Maybe no one could refine it in the future. Naturally, he wanted to leave such a treasure to the descendants of Qianye Sect.

This guy is a bit wishy-washy and dragging in doing things. Yang Kai secretly slandered in his heart.

However, he quickly put this thought aside. In any case, it was true that Flowing Flame now had her own body. Although this body looked a bit strange, it was undoubtedly much better than her previous form.

Having a body and not having a body were definitely two different things.

Flowing Flame also seemed to gradually become happy, forgetting the various inconveniences that this small body would bring to her future life. She held her two hands in front of her eyes and examined them carefully, a smile on her face.

“How is the integration of your soul and this body？ Are there any signs of instability？” Yang Kai asked worriedly again.

After all, this body of the spiritual-level puppet was not naturally possessed by Flowing Flame. If the integration of the soul and the body was not perfect, it was very likely to bring serious consequences. Just like seizing a body, the reason why seizing a body was difficult and the success rate was very low was because of the problem of the integration degree of the foreign soul and the body being seized.

If a powerful soul wanted to seize a martial artist, it had to find the body that was the most compatible with its own soul. Even so, it was not necessarily possible to succeed in seizing the body. If there was the slightest mistake, all previous efforts would be wasted.

Hearing this, Flowing Flame shook her head and said, “There is no problem at all. I feel… as if I were just born. This body was tailor-made for me.”

Wasn’t it just like being born again? Yang Kai had witnessed with his own eyes her breaking out of that strange rock. It was equivalent to being reborn. However, what Liu Yan said made him feel much more at ease.

He was just afraid that the integration of this body and Liu Yan’s divine soul would not go smoothly. But now it seemed that when the great powers of the Thousand Leaves Sect refined that strange rock back then, they must have perfectly considered these issues and solved them through some special means.

Otherwise, they could have simply refined a humanoid puppet and then forcefully stuffed the soul of a living being into it.

It was precisely because of the experience of breaking out of the shell that Liu Yan’s divine soul and her current body could be perfectly integrated.

Yang Kai secretly admired them never stop.

“Hehe, I also have a childhood now.” Liu Yan’s small face was smiling like a flower.

“Be careful not to grow up and stay like this for the rest of your life.” Yang Kai poured a basin of cold water on her.

Liu Yan’s face immediately turned dark. She was stunned for a good while and then said freely： “Then I’ll accept it.”

……

One day of experimentation finally allowed Yang Kai to witness the power of the spirit-level puppet body. Now, Liu Yan could actually enhance her strength through cultivation, which was something impossible before.

Previously, Liu Yan was only in a transformed form and could only devour and fuse with fire-attribute natural treasures to enhance her strength. The True Solar Essence that Yang Kai had obtained in the early years, Liu Yan had been using, and almost half of the energy inside had been consumed.

But now, Liuyan can actually absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and use it for herself.

Not only that, but now Liuyan also has a powerful cultivation base of the third level of the Dao Source Realm！ This means that as long as a suitable cultivation method is found for her, she can cultivate and become stronger like ordinary people, and will eventually be able to promote to the Emperor Venerable！

Now she is completely an independent individual. At the moment when she was swallowed by the strange stone, the connection with Yang Kai before has been broken.

Liuyan has truly obtained a new life！

Yang Kai is truly happy for her from the bottom of his heart. He originally planned to wait until his strength became stronger in the future to search for the Life Birth Fruit and refine the Life Birth Pill to create a physical body for Liuyan. But unexpectedly, happiness came so quickly. The spiritual-level puppet body perfectly solved this problem.

Yang Kai gave Liuyan a space ring and put many source crystals, various healing pills, cultivation pills, and several secret treasures that he couldn’t use but were of good quality in it. Even the Emperor Treasure, the Silent Thunder Pearl, was given to her to use. Because the Silent Thunder Pearl doesn’t need to be refined much, and only needs to be filled with power to be used, which is extremely suitable for Liuyan.

This is the first time Liuyan has owned her own space ring and so many things belonging to herself. She is extremely happy and keeps playing with the space ring, enjoying it endlessly.

One day later, the two returned to the array base platform.

Yang Kai had no intention of continuing to explore this secret realm. He had gained a lot from this trip, so he was content with what he had. There was no enmity between him and the Thousand Leaves Sect. After all, this secret realm belonged to them. Yang Kai couldn’t possibly take away all the good things inside. It would be too unethical to do so.

Repairing this array foundation platform was not a difficult task for Yang Kai. It took him no more than two hours. The sword marks on the array foundation platform disappeared, and the entire platform looked brand new. Yang Kai took out several source crystals and placed them in the grooves on the platform. Then, he activated the source force.

After a flash of light, there was no one left on the platform.

In the Thousand Leaves Sect, at the unnamed valley.

The previous birds singing and flowers blooming had all disappeared. This place was in a mess, and the traces of the great battle could be seen everywhere. There were many corpses of martial artists lying horizontally and vertically in the valley. The ground was dyed red with blood, and the soaring bloody smell made people feel nauseous.

At the array foundation platform, Ye Jinghan’s face was as pale as paper, and her delicate body was covered in blood. A wound that was deep enough to see the bone spread from her shoulder blade to her entire arm, looking shocking.

Beside her, Hua Qingsi, Chi Yue, Ghost Ancestor, Ai Ou, Gu Cangyun and others all had a tired look on their faces. All of them had more or less injured on their bodies. Among them Hua Qingsi was the most seriously injured. It seemed that her internal organs were damaged, and there was no blood on her face.

At this moment, the Thousand Leaves Sect is facing the greatest crisis in its history — the deputy sect leader Shi Cangying has defected, cooperating with Qiu Ze, the Lord of the Amaterasu Palace and they have successfully broken through the Thousand Leaves Sect’s mountain—protecting formation in one fell swoop, massacring over a thousand disciples.

Ye Hen led several elders to fight bravely against the enemy, but they were outnumbered. Some died and some were injured. The sect disciples who could escape did so, and those who couldn’t were either killed or captured. A good sect has almost become a ghostly realm on earth in just half a day. Throughout Thousand Leaves Mountain, the traces of the battle can be seen everywhere, and there are countless buried bones.

Even Hua Qingsi and the others were involved. Although Hua Qingsi has touched the Emperor’s Will, there is still a big gap between her and Qiu Ze. After a fierce battle, Hua Qingsi managed to escape with her life. Under the support of Ye Jinghan she led Chi Yue and the others to hide in this nameless valley.

Here has become the last stronghold of the Thousand Leaves Sect.

Outside the valley, led by Qiu Ze, the powerhouses of various sects gathered together, eyeing the inside of the valley covetously.

“Is this the forbidden area of your sect？” Qiu Ze stood outside the valley with his hands behind his back, looking coldly ahead and asking the person beside him.

His face was not as ruddy as before. Although he had an absolute advantage in the battle with Hua Qingsi, he never expected that a mere Dao Source Third Layer Realm cultivator would almost injure him.

That woman is not an ordinary warrior！ There is a high probability that she comes from some top sect, otherwise she wouldn’t have such a powerful foundation.

If we were to say who Qiu Ze fears the most now, undoubtedly it is Hua Qingsi.

He is afraid of provoking someone he shouldn’t, but in the current situation, he can only cut the grass and remove the roots. Otherwise, once the news spreads and the sect behind that woman finds out, Tianzhao Palace will have no strength to resist. So he led people all the way to pursue and kill here, but was blocked outside by many magic formations in the valley. After trying to make a move and attack several times he was horrified to find that the array in the valley was not something he could crack.

So he could only ask aside.

When Shi Cangying heard this, a flattering smile piled up on his face, and he bowed and said, “Returning to Palace Master Qiu, this place is indeed the forbidden area of our sect. Throughout the generations, except for the sect master, no one is allowed to set foot.”

“You can’t either?” Qiu Ze looked at Shi Cangying faintly.

Shi Cangying said with a embarrassed look, “I have never gone in.”
