Chapter 516: 157 Four-tier Dao Body Puppets, Black Jiao Daoist Submits (10K Monthly Tickets Needed)_3
 

After a moment, the light in Su Yu’s eyes gradually faded and the fairy light around him dissipated, his aura and manner returned to its normal, ordinary state.

He looked at his mastery panel.

[Cultivation Technique: Celestial Body Refinement Realm (Level Three, Mastery 80.00%)].

The third level of Celestial Body Refinement Technique corresponds to the great realm of core formation of Mana cultivation techniques.

With the mastery reaching eighty percent, his level of cultivation is equivalent to the eighth level of the Core Formation Realm.

He then checked the mastery of the Five Elements Method.

After years of uninterrupted cultivation, the mastery of the Five Elements Method has reached 69%!

The seventh level of the Core Formation Realm is now within reach!

Thinking of the current tense situation of the large-scale war between the Human Clan and the Demon Clan in the Illusion Sea Marsh, although the total number of cultivators from various human factions is not small, overall it is still within controllable limits.

The Demon Clan forces are equally formidable, as it is not just the demons from the Illusion Sea Marsh that are fighting against humans now.

This is a contest between the cultivators of the Human Clan and the Demon Clan in the Daqian Cultivation World.

Su Yu estimates that it may take another ten to twenty years to reach a resolution.

For a small conflict between the Human and Demon Clans, this time is not considered long.

Although Su Yu himself did not participate in this war, the Ten Kings Immortal City is the closest, and a large number of Demon Clan resources first appear in the city, including materials from the third-order demon beasts and the Demon Clan.

Even if many forces do not trade all of their materials, the amount gathered from those leaked by different factions is still substantial.

Moreover, this conflict has caused prices of materials such as elixirs, talismans, formations and puppets in the Ten Kings Immortal City to rise.

While Su Yu was purchasing materials in the city, he was also selling various products he made, such as elixirs, talismans, and formation bases, over the past three years. His contribution value hasn’t increased, but he certainly earned a lot of Spirit Stones!

With a lot of resources accumulated, his life became increasingly prosperous.

With his breakthrough in body refinement technique, Su Yu left his retreat to buy spiritual wine in the city tavern and happily toasted a few cups upon his return.

In the evening, he continued his cultivation with the Upper Pure Primordial Dao Law.

“If I go to the Illusion Sea Marsh to fight with the Demon Clan, how could I be leading such a comfortable life? Ah, it’s so tiresome to fight day and night.”

…

The Residence of Mulberry Wood.

Gong Yue Immortal City.

Deep in the Immortal Palace of the Gao Family, an underground cave.

The Red Puppet was sitting cross-legged in the center of the cave, in front of him a piece of lower grade fourth-order pale golden Spirit Ore, as high as himself, enveloped by the essence of his puppet soul. The Spirit Ore began to crumble from the outside, gradually turning into powder and scattering into the air.

Wisps of pale golden Spirit Ore essence were consumed from the Spirit Ore and were devoured by the Red Puppet, incorporated into its body.

When nearly half of this massive piece of lower grade fourth-order Spirit Ore had been consumed, the aura of the Red Puppet suddenly changed.

In that instant, the Red Puppet felt as if the world around it had changed.

At that moment, the Red Puppet stopped refining the fourth-order lower quality Spirit Ore in front of it, opened its red eyes, and a cold light burst out.

It carefully felt the change in its body.

Compared to when he first got the Red Puppet, which was full of cracks, the cracks on the Red Puppet’s body have now healed, leaving no trace.

Although it’s not yet as strong as it was at its original fourth-order lower-grade level, it’s hard to tell without a close look.

Of course.

The greatest change was in the core of the Red Puppet itself.

In an instant, the essence of the Red Puppet underwent a qualitative change.

An indescribable power gathered.

If before the Red Puppet could only perceive changes in the energy of the world around it, now it felt as though its body had become part of the world.

The energy of the entire world within the cave was at its disposal!

The power of the entire world seemed to be at its disposal, it had become the true master here!

And the core of the Red Puppet was imbued with the power of the Fire Attribute, so at this moment, the entire cave turned to a fire-field inferno at a thought from the Red Puppet.

The Red Puppet carefully sensed the difference in this power from the third order and pondered secretly.

“It seems, this is the power of the Domain of Fire.”

The Core Formation Realm, the third-order puppets, they can only control a small amount of the world’s energy with their own Divine Sense and Mana, forming a so-called ‘Spiritual Pressure’.

But when the Red Puppet recovered to fourth-order lower grade power, its own Fire Attribute power seemed to have transformed into a Dao Domain.

Before, when the puppet soul transformed into the true fourth-tier treasure, the feeling wasn’t very obvious.

However, now that it has restored to its true fourth-order lower grade strength, the Red Puppet finds it easier to understand the differences.

Su Yu once read a lot of books about the breakthrough from the Core Formation Realm to the Nascent Soul Realm in the Library of the Earth Immortal Mansion, but most of those books focused on how to transform and create a Nascent Soul.

The difference between the power of the Nascent Soul Realm and the Core Formation Realm was not explained in detail in those books.

It’s not that it’s some secretive knowledge.

Rather—

Knowing the difference in power between the two realms in advance while at the Core Formation Realm doesn’t really bring any benefits.

Once one truly breaks through to the Nascent Soul Realm, one will naturally come to understand.

Su Yu’s mana cultivation is still some distance away from breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, but now, when his Red Puppet is restored to fourth-order lower grade, he has gained some insights into the difference between Core Formation and Nascent Soul Realms without needing a teacher.
