Miaomiao followed her original path and became a disciple of the East China Sea Sword Fairy Zi Chenxue. The difference was that she no longer needed to go overseas, but Zi Chenxue would follow them.
Miaomiao was also shocked by this sudden change.
In addition to Zi Chenxue, Xia Ji will also quietly give guidance and provide some supplements during practice.
In this way, Miaomiao, who was originally the daughter of destiny, had both a great opportunity and the guidance of a Taoist figure like Xia Ji, and her improvement speed was simply rapid.
…
The words are divided into two parts.
A few days later.
Xia Ji sat in the Formation Palace of Tingxue Academy.
In addition to the inheritance code, there are plenty of other materials in the Formation Palace.
And because of the extreme scarcity of formation masters, Xia Ji is currently the only one in the entire palace.
But what he wants is one person, so that no one will disturb him.
Da da da…
The sound of gentle footsteps sounded in the empty secret room of the academy.
In the secret room, a young man wrapped in a moon-white robe was pacing back and forth. His eyes were filled with contemplation, and the table beside him was illuminated by the brilliance of a small formation.
This table is also a treasure. As long as the unknown formation disk embedded in it is activated, a "interference-free formation area" can be constructed.
This is an extremely precious thing, and it can be regarded as one of the best treasures in the Formation Palace.
Such an area is perfect for research.
The source of evil appears to be cortical rocks, and the evil carrion is now blooming in that area.
In that area, the carrion that would have melted quickly on the outside actually slowed down its melting speed. It took a stick of incense to melt a layer of its skin, and ink-colored smoke could even be seen slowly moving around.
In the last round, Xia Ji spent a long time with Pangu and discussed many things...
In particular, he was very familiar with Pangu's puppetry and research methods.
Not only is he familiar with it, he also has many understandings of his own.
It cannot be said that he is immediately better than Pangu in this way, but at least they have their own merits.
At this time, the reason why he was pacing was because he had completed the research on the "evil source" and "evil carrion".
"The evil carrion is actually the frozen meat of the deceased, and the age of death of the deceased... can also be calculated."
"There are always some ancient substances in the human body. These substances will decay over the years. The approximate history can be calculated just by the degree of decay...
Pangu and I had completely mastered this point in the last era. "
"And the age of this rotten flesh... should only be 160,000 years old, which is considered relatively young."
"Well… "
One hundred and sixty thousand years, still considered young
Xia Ji realized that his thinking had completely changed.
"This coincides with the fact that this century is the first black tide catastrophe, and the previous century was the death catastrophe.
The exact reason for the creation of the Death God is not clear, but it is probably produced by the death of many powerful beings.
Their flesh rotted and sank to the earth.
Their souls decayed and merged with each other to form the Grim Reaper.
In this way, the essence of these evil spirits is the flesh and blood fragments of the ancient dead, but these flesh and blood have produced strange changes in the evil spirit.
After getting away from the source of evil, it began to disappear quickly because it lost its source.
So, does all this flesh and blood come from underground
how come
Does it have anything to do with the seventy-two evil places Su Tian mentioned
Why did Heaven design this disaster in the first place
This time, the source of evil in Gujue Mountain was caused by underground changes.
So, are the changes in the underground related to the way of heaven? "
Xia Ji pondered for a while,
Obviously, the above information has no answer for the time being, and any self-righteous random guess can only preset a misleading interval for yourself, commonly known as "self-diversion".
Xia Ji changed his mind and continued to murmur: "As for the source of evil, it is very special...
It just meets the requirements for making puppets, although it is not enough to make monsters at the level of witch puppets.
But it's enough to activate one... about thirty units of ordinary puppets.
There are a lot of materials here, which can also support my puppet making.
Combining the puppets with the formation is a good method... at least, it can greatly increase my exploration area. "
then…
Xia Ji started making puppets.
These puppets are not a hindrance. You must know that in the last game, without the Xuan Formation, Pangu could have destroyed the entire Wu family with tens of thousands of puppets.
Any puppet, as long as it is given a certain amount of energy absorption time, can naturally rise to the highest realm in the world...
Although after promotion, these puppets are quite ordinary and not very flexible in the same realm, but they are more powerful and obedient.
It's absolutely worth it to make this thing.
So Xia Ji started making puppets without sleep or food.
As for the puppet making techniques, he is already very skilled. After all, he has tried it many times in the past ten thousand years since the last game...
Pangu left him a huge number of puppets, and even witch puppets for him to study.
With an average production efficiency of five per day, he completed thirty puppets in six days.
The evil source is completely exhausted.
But the puppet production was also very successful, so precise that not a single one failed.
These are ten plant puppets and twenty bird puppets.
Due to the lack of storage rings, these thirty puppets were piled in the secret room, their eyes shining faintly.
They have been activated, and as long as Xia Ji gives an order, they will do it to the letter.
Naturally, Xia Ji would not release all thirty puppets in a swarm, but spent another day conducting a strength test.
Sure enough, due to the lack of spiritual energy, the power of these puppets temporarily stopped at the level of the Dharma...
And after entering the land of spiritual energy, it only takes about a short week for them to quickly rise to the Dharmakaya level.
In another week, we will be able to reach the level of supernatural powers.
And after a while... they can quickly grow to the highest level of power in this world.
Such a puppet can be described as a perverted monster.
They do not need to undergo any training. They are born in the Dharma Realm. As long as they have aura, they can continue to rise until they reach the ceiling of this world.
This…
It is the Pangu puppet that Pangu painstakingly researched.
…
While Xia Ji was growing up, Miaomiao was not idle either. Her realm advanced by leaps and bounds. She had been directly promoted from the initial fifth-level warrior to the sixth-level warrior. You must know that only a few days had passed.
The gap in realm means that it is impossible for the two of them to act at the same time, at least not now.
After that, Xia Ji began to study the formation.
Once he can independently create the spirit gathering array, the remaining goal will become simple, which is to find a place with abundant spiritual energy.
Continuously improve your own strength through gathering spirits, and help the puppet regain its strength.
However, unformed evil places like Gujue Peak are not very easy to find, otherwise it would not be difficult to add more puppets.
…
Autumn passes and winter comes.
In winter, it's freezing cold.
Miaomiao's realm has directly broken into the seventh level.
Xia Ji's Spirit Gathering Formation was still being studied. He understood the principle, but completely assembling a true formation was not achieved overnight.
It was not until late winter that he made the first preliminary formation disk. However, this had already consumed a lot of materials from the Formation Palace. Coupled with the previous consumption of puppets, the materials in the Formation Palace could no longer support the formation. long time.
Because he independently researched the "Spirit Gathering Formation", Tingxue Academy directly allocated a storage ring to him.
With the ring, Xia Ji took thirty puppets with him.
Well, it’s time to get out and explore.
After all, with a sword fairy like Zi Chenxue at home, he no longer needs to worry.
As a result, Xia Ji began a short-term trip that could last as short as two or three days and as long as half a month.
During the time he spent sitting in the academy, he had already studied the surrounding terrain.
Now it’s a diffuse field trip.
Along the way, even if he occasionally met other monks, he would not form a team and would just pass them by.
He didn't care about other monks looking for opportunities or hearing about the birth of important treasures.
His goal is clear: use spiritual energy to improve himself, improve his puppets, and obtain more materials at the same time.
There is another meaning to improving the puppet, and that is to clarify where the current ceiling of power in this world is.
…
Winter is getting deeper and snow is falling in the mountains.
Xia Ji sat cross-legged on a deep and secluded cliff.
Behind him were thirty jagged shadows.
The cliff is tens of thousands of feet high, and the spiritual energy under the rock wall is rich, like deep sea waves rushing between the black rocks, swallowing up jagged rocks and dead branches.
At this time, these spiritual energies are being pulled by the spirit gathering arrays in all directions, converging towards the center.
In order to give the puppet enough time to absorb, Xia Ji sought out the Bigu Pill from Zi Chenxue in advance, and at the same time slowed down the speed of absorbing spiritual energy...
He sat like this for ten days.
Ten days later…
Thirty-one snowmen have appeared on the cliff.
Suddenly, one of the snowmen shook, and the snowflakes dispersed, revealing the appearance of the young man behind him.
Xia Ji opened his eyes, and with a thought in his mind, the thirty puppets behind him dispersed the snow, revealing ten trees and twenty black hawks behind them.
And these puppets are actually flowing with an ink-colored luster.
“This is the Fourteenth Realm.
Sure enough, the virtual calamity based on Kuroshio was not so rigorous in the first calamity...
Now that the Fourteenth Realm has appeared, I need to be even more careful.
After all, this black film in the Fourteenth Realm cannot be broken through by those who are not in the Fourteenth Realm.
And I only have thirty ordinary Fourteenth Realm masters. "
Xia Ji raised his hand and waved, and the thirty puppets in front of him immediately disappeared and were put into the storage ring by him.
He raised his head and looked at the sky. It was bright and clear, and the sky was clear after the snow. The air was mixed with a hint of coldness, and for a while there were silver shavings falling from the side, shining brightly in the golden sunlight.
"It's just that with these puppets, I can explore a wider area... But it will take longer and longer... "
…
Time flies.
After Xia Ji had the puppet, the operation method became very simple.
Collect materials to make the "Spirit Gathering Array",
With the "Spirit Gathering Array", go to places with strong spiritual energy to improve your strength and collect materials at the same time.
What goes around comes around.
He naturally remembered what Su Tian had said before, "For warriors here to break through the Twelve Realms, they need to do so in a secret realm with extremely rich spiritual energy." He didn't go to those places either.
Since he can use the Spirit Gathering Formation to artificially create a "secret realm", why waste time fighting and killing those people
And perhaps because some strange changes were indeed taking place under the earth, Xia Ji actually encountered the evil land that was taking shape twice.
The ratio is about six to one to seven to one, which means you will encounter a bad place once every six or seven times you go out.
For Xia Ji, these unformed evil places are the materials for mass production of "puppet"...
However, no matter how many there are of incomplete demons in the Dharma Realm, it will not help.
Whenever an evil place is discovered, Xia Ji directly rises in the wind, and then releases the black eagle puppets from the Fourteenth Realm to kill, and directly goes deep into the evil place to take out the "evil source".
As for the flesh and blood of those ancient powers, he didn't need them.
After going back and forth like this, he had gathered a hundred puppets.
Among them, forty are from the plant family.
Forty of them are birds, mainly black eagles.
The reason why he did not mess up the production was that he hoped to form a team system of puppets.
The plant puppets are concealed. No matter where they are, as long as they are placed at important entrances and exits, they will be properly guarded.
And there are black eagles lingering in the sky, monitoring the monks flying approaching with swords, either to issue warnings, or to let Xia Ji know.
In addition, Xia Ji also made a strange puppet: a giant earthworm.
A total of twenty giant earthworm puppets of the Fourteenth Realm were quietly dormant underground...
In this way, a complete spatial protection system is formed to ensure that no one will disturb Xia Ji when he is working in the first area.
In the process of searching, Xia Ji also discovered some strange things...
That is the impact of these sudden earthly evil spirits:
Demonize people.
But this kind of demonization has an incubation period. During the incubation period, the people affected will gain great power.
This has led to many people taking this as an opportunity and starting to chase it crazily.
After a short period of time, the Dynasty naturally reacted, but the matter was hidden, and it would not be good to expose it.
As a result, many people in the court began to secretly investigate and deal with the matter.
However, no one knows what changes are happening deep in the earth. These changes have triggered the formation of more and more evil places, and the speed is staggering.
The imperial court finally realized that it couldn't handle it anymore, so it hurriedly turned to the extraordinary sects and academies that were applauded by the dynasty.
Suddenly, many extraordinary and powerful men were dispatched.
But at the same time…
Xia Ji's "virtuous cycle of becoming stronger" has also been better developed.
The first step is to go to the spiritual place where evil spirits are being nurtured.
The second step is to absorb spiritual energy and release evil spirits.
The third step is to release the puppet and take away the evil source.
The fourth step is to use the evil source to make a puppet.
Then, start a new round of exploration.
With each cycle, Xia Ji can improve his own strength, strengthen the puppet army, and solve the problem of earth evil.
As for breaking through the Dharmakaya realm, he is not in a hurry...
This game is different from the previous game, it is a protracted game.
A protracted war requires laying a solid foundation.
If possible, he wants to reach Wanxiang first. Thirty-six Xiangs can cross the border and be invincible. As for Wanxiang... he should be able to look forward to it.
And... He wants to harvest a puppet army of hundreds of thousands first.
Then the next step is to use the fusion ability of Tao Yun from different universes to integrate these puppet armies into his body.
