Seeking the Way of Immortality

"Yes, mechanical puppets." Wu Zheng said solemnly. In front of him was the 'Qilin Pavilion' that he had discovered at the beginning. However, there was still a distance of hundreds of meters between him and the 'Qilin Pavilion'. There were dozens of mechanical puppets of different shapes in this distance of hundreds of meters. The aura exuded by each puppet was no less than that of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. If you want to get there, you may have to spend some effort.

Qilin Pavilion is the cave of the 'Yin Yang Purple Qilin', the mount of 'Yin Yang Venerable' Fan Taiqing. According to legend, this Yin Yang Purple Qilin is a different species of Qilin, with one black and one white eye, a Yin Yang dual attribute monster, purple all over the body, noble and imposing, with a single horn on its head and four black hooves. It gathers the Yin and Yang of heaven and earth and integrates them into its body, and its own combat power is extraordinary.

Regarding the Yin Yang Purple Qilin, there are records on the three jade slips that Wu Zheng has on him, and there are also legends about the Yin Yang Purple Qilin in Dingzhou.

And Wu Zheng himself has the sacred Qilin beast by his side, so he is not unfamiliar with Qilin.

The reason why he wanted to enter the ‘Qilin Pavilion’ was not because of the things inside, but because he wanted to see the layout of the entire ‘Taiqing Secret Realm’.

Since it is a secret realm that combines the Eight Trigrams and the Eight Gates, only after exploring them one by one can we know which is the gate of life and which is the gate of death.

Wu Zheng didn’t know much about the Eight Trigrams and the Eight Gates. As for the formation, Wu Zheng couldn’t even enter it today, but in these years, Wu Zheng has been running around and has indeed seen many powerful formations.

Therefore, this time he still decided to take risks and understand the ‘Yin Yang Eight Trigrams Formation’ in this secret realm.

“Eight puppets, secretly matching the number of Eight Trigrams, arranged according to the innate Eight Trigrams, this ‘Yin Yang Venerable’ is indeed extraordinary in his attainments in the Eight Trigrams!” Wu Zheng murmured.

Wu Zheng took a step forward with his left foot. One step made a world of difference. The eight puppets in the entire corridor moved instantly.

There was no dullness or clumsiness of puppet metal at all. The whole action was smooth and seamless. Four human-shaped puppets instantly sat on four beast-shaped puppets. Four dark iron spears were arranged in four shapes, instantly covering Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng's mind was startled, and his body flashed like lightning, barely avoiding the attack of the four iron spears.

After the attack missed, the four human-shaped puppets, whose eyes were originally closed, suddenly opened their eyes, and eight divine lights burst out, turning into eight sharp swords, shooting towards Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng's mind moved, and the eight fingers of both hands flicked, and eight Gengjin sword qi shot out instantly, just hitting the eight flying swords.

The sword qi and the sharp sword melted into each other, making a sound of metal colliding.

Before Wu Zheng could react, the four unknown monster puppets suddenly opened their metal mouths, and for a moment, flames swirled, ice and snow drifted, and rushed towards Wu Zheng together.

Wu Zheng's expression changed, and the Purple Yang True Flame was activated, stretching the Purple Aurora Shield, absorbing all the flying flames and melting all the ice and snow.

For a moment, the air was filled with water vapor, and it was difficult to see clearly.

Wu Zheng's eyes were blocked by water vapor, but the puppets had no such obstacles. They just attacked by instinct. Before Wu Zheng could react, the four humanoid puppets suddenly stepped into the air and flew to the top of Wu Zheng's head.

The four dark iron spears were as fast as lightning, aiming at Wu Zheng's head, neck, and lower Yin Dantian Qihai in a flash.

Out of instinct, Wu Zheng had no time to dodge. He squatted deeply, and the Purple Aurora Spear instantly appeared in his hand. He flexed and extended his right leg, exerted strength on his left leg, and exerted strength on his waist. The Purple Aurora Spear quickly rotated along his waist. In just a blink of an eye, it had rotated from the waist to the top of his head, barely dissolving the attacks of the four dark spears.

Ding, ding, ding, ding!

"I didn't expect that the spear used by this puppet is also of the magic weapon level." Wu Zheng muttered in a low voice.

"What's this? A dignified master should at least have a magic weapon of the spiritual treasure level. These are all child's play." An old voice resounded beside Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng asked without turning his head: "Can these eight puppets be collected?"

Yes, the old voice came from Wu Zheng's purple spear, which is the legendary Shenxing Lingmu. Since the Shenxing Lingmu followed Wu Zheng, it rarely spoke, but every time it spoke, it must have met something he liked.

Wu Zheng also knew this very well.

"There is a way to collect it, but it is still quite difficult to suppress it instantly." Shenxing Lingmu thought for a while and said.

"Oh, how to do it?"

"I need these things to advance. You can't use me for a period of time."

"It's so dangerous here. Without you, I will face several times the danger." Wu Zheng said unhappily.

"Hehe, at worst I will give half of the benefits to your life magic weapon, how about that?" Shenxing Lingmu said awkwardly.

"Really?"

"That's right, when have I ever lied?"

"No." Wu Zheng refused at once, and the speed was absolutely decisive, without even a little room for refusal.

"Okay, you kid, you are so cruel, tell me, what else do you want?" Shenxing Lingmu gritted his teeth and said.

"Give me some advice in the near future, otherwise we will all die here." Wu Zheng said with a smile.

"Okay! When the time comes, I will leave a wisp of divine consciousness outside to assist you." Shenxing Lingmu thought for a while and said.

"Okay, deal!"

"Hey, don't leave me here alone!" Shenxing Lingmu shouted loudly.

Wu Zheng had already escaped from the encirclement of the eight puppets, leaving Shenxing Lingmu alone in the encirclement.

As soon as the magic wood left Wu Zheng, it took root on the spot, and the long spear spread out in an instant, inserting the branches deeply into the body of the metal puppet.

No matter how many tricks the puppet had, it was powerless for a while and obediently let the magic wood manipulate it.

Wu Zheng stood aside with his arms folded, carefully on guard.

In just a cup of tea, the magic wood had recovered to the size of an ordinary small tree, and there was no shadow of the puppet in the corridor.

Wu Zheng stepped forward, and the magic wood flashed and disappeared. In Wu Zheng's Dantian Qihai, an ancient small tree suddenly appeared in the nine golden pills, and an ancient and majestic small sword was circling on the tip of the small tree.

Wu Zheng smiled indifferently, pinched his sword finger, and walked towards the "Qilin Pavilion". Even if he didn't have a magic weapon in his hand, he was not a person who would be bullied.

At the entrance of Qilin Pavilion is a huge stone door with a lifelike Qilin carved on it. The Qilin is stepping on flames and seems to be flying into the sky.

The Qilin has a single horn on its head that seems to break through the sky. It is surrounded by a purple aura that is hard to see clearly. Its tail is similar to a cow's tail, but it has two eyes, one black and one white, which is weird and abnormal.
