Chapter 369: Chapter 195: Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute and the Future of Wusheng Three Life Gates

The divination techniques of the Fate Technique, though unable to attack openly, are like an eye hanging high in the sky, able to part the clouds at any time to peer down at all things beneath. For someone like Old Six, the threat is truly immense.

Even though his fate had become quite extraordinary due to the three Undying Bones and five East Spring Ghost Kings, it would still require a hefty price for an ordinary Fate Technique Cultivator to even try to locate him. However, Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks is, after all, a thousand-year-old immortal sect with profound heritage.

Upon thorough investigation, however, nothing was found, and it seems Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks does not possess such technique inheritance.

"Yan Zhen has already reached the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment. Even if he’s not privy to the core of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, he surely knows something. It seems there’s an eighty to ninety percent chance that Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks does not have such a Fate Technique,"

Wen Jiu murmured softly, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth. This would greatly reduce the probability of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks discovering about him.

"Hmm?"

"Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute?"

Wen Jiu suddenly saw a peculiar object within his soul memories.

The Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute, a Golden Core Level Secret Technique of Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, can conceal a part of celestial secrets at the third tier, allowing short-term transference of one’s fate. It is a special technique to evade the probing of divination and Fate Techniques.

If it is only at the second tier, although it cannot temporarily transfer one’s fate, it can still ward off the probing and divination of a Foundation Establishment Perfection Fate Technique Cultivator. For Wen Jiu, this Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute seems tailor-made for him.

Certainly.

What Wen Jiu loves most is the function of the Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute at the third tier, which can transfer one’s fate temporarily. This short period means half a month or a month, which isn’t actually short.

When in the fate there is a calamity, the Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute can bear it on your behalf. If the puppet dies, the calamity will vanish. Or if there are other disasters in the fate, one can transfer their fate to the Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute to take on the burden.

For Wen Jiu, who only wishes to nourish corpses and seeks longevity through the Heterodox Dao, this is undoubtedly an excellent protective tool.

"It seems this is the unique solution Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks devised to resolve the problems of Fate Techniques. But viewing from Yan Zhen’s soul memories, there’s only one third-tier Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute in the entire Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks.

It appears to be extremely difficult to refine to the third tier. Refining it successfully is more challenging than nurturing a Golden Core Cultivator, and it takes a very long time. However, this is not a problem for me. The daily settlement panel can farm experience. Strictly speaking, there are no bottlenecks to improvement as long as methods to gain experience can be found. Once experience is full, breakthroughs can be achieved, making it excellent for nurturing the Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute."

The more Wen Jiu thought about it, the more restless he became because if he could nurture the Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute to the third tier and achieve perfection in the Corpse Fate Technique, the former could evade calamities and bear disasters for him, while the latter could foresee one’s own fortunes and misfortunes. Together, they are an excellent protective means, crucial in life-saving moments.

"For other cultivators, there will be various bottlenecks, such as the difficulty of refining to the third tier and the challenges of mastering a perfected Fate Technique. However, with the daily settlement panel, I simply need to farm experience slowly, so what if it takes a long time?"

"Strictly speaking, if there are many potential threats now, time is the last thing lacking."

With these thoughts, Wen Jiu couldn’t wait for the East Spring Undying Bone to head toward the Far West, moving as swiftly as possible to the main peak of the Moon Extreme Sect, where Yan Zhen’s Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute was located.

Despite some arrays being set outside, they did not obstruct the Spirit Array for Escape Techniques, making it feel like an unguarded area for the East Spring Undying Bone. As for other Foundation Establishment Cultivators, the strongest are only at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment and pose no threat.

Four hours later, under the scorching sun, the East Spring Undying Bone performed a Blood Corpse Escape into Yan Zhen’s cultivation residence.

The Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute sat cross-legged inside the cave abode on a meditation cushion, with a steady and lively aura. Without using Divine Sense to investigate, there would be no difference between this Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute and the real Yan Zhen.

However, when the East Spring Undying Bone used Divine Sense to probe, some anomalies could still be detected. Mainly because it is now an ownerless object, therefore someone could notice something amiss.

If it were owned, perhaps even an elder cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Perfection level would not be able to detect anything unusual.

Without hesitation, after putting away the Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute, Wen Jiu then controlled the East Spring Undying Bone to escape without alerting anyone or triggering any arrays. As the East Spring Undying Bone was heading to the Little Demon Realm, Wen Jiu continued to peruse Yan Zhen’s soul memories.

And inadvertently, he saw things he shouldn’t have seen. Over thirty years, this old guy Yan Zhen would be ’supplemented’ by Qu Wuyi once a month. The sensual images filled Wen Jiu’s eyes; there was a mole on the chest...

These scenes were truly hard to look at directly.

They really disturbed one’s Dao heart.

Hmm?

This Golden Core Cultivator seems to be sagging quite a bit.

...

Half a day later.

The East Spring Undying Bone quietly returned to Lengxi Mountain, but Wen Jiu did not immediately refine the Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute.

To be precise, Wen Jiu had no intention of refining it. The Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute cannot be refined with blood; it needs to merge with the soul. If it were truly used to ward off calamities, it would inevitably cause soul damage.

Therefore, Wen Jiu found an alternative method in the soul memories of Yan Zhen and the Golden Core Demon Cultivator, and that is to fuse with a zombie. If it were any other corpse cultivator, it would certainly be impossible. After all, if it fused with a corpse body, then the calamities borne by the Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute would belong to the zombie. But he is different because he practices the Yinzhou Heterodox Record.

His soul had long been fused with the Three Corpses, which are part of him just as much as his soul. On the surface, the Purple Spirit Puppet Substitute looks like it’s fusing with a zombie, but in actuality, it’s also fusing with himself.
