Chapter 1725 Imitation True Immortal Puppet

"What...what kind of aura is this?!"

"Not a true immortal, yet... it makes one's soul tremble!"

"A completely new avenue... has been born?!"

Even the Heavenly Eclipse Ancestor, who had just stabilized his Tribulation Power True Immortal realm, showed a look of astonishment: "Who is this person who can do such a thing?!"

Deep within the starry sky, You Wuyai suddenly opened his eyes, revealing for the first time extreme shock and solemnity: "Since the opening of the path, all fruits have returned to one. Such a phenomenon is no less than that of a true immortal!"

Inside the training ground, the old man slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes had returned to normal, but upon closer inspection, it seemed as if there were starlight and sword shadows floating in the depths of his left eye, while the light of candlelight seemed to flow in the depths of his right eye.

His face still bore the marks of time, but at this moment, those marks seemed to be the patterns etched on the Great Dao, filled with endless majesty and antiquity.

He succeeded!

With his Void Refinement Body, and with the help of the Candlelight Eye and the Sword Domain Star River, he not only stepped into the Integration Stage in one fell swoop, but also carved out his own path, monopolized all the fruits, and became the first Integration Stage without anyone before him!

Its combat power is so strong that, with the blessing of the complete authority of one hundred fruit positions, it is in no way weaker than that of an ordinary early-stage True Immortal!

The old man looked at Zhang Xuan outside the void, a relieved smile appearing on his face.

"My nine divine realms have gained another heaven-defying combat power!" Zhang Xuan was overjoyed.

Next, he focused his attention on his next hole card and his second move.

He took out the Three Pure Immortal Realm True Immortal Puppet that he had obtained from the Golden Rainbow Sword Master and which was later sealed by the power of the Dragon Coffin.

The puppet's entire body was a dark golden color, and its material was of extremely high quality, unlike anything seen before.

The joints are engraved with intricate and complex Taoist runes that contain some kind of profound truths about the universe.

Even in its dormant state, it still exudes a heart-palpitating, powerful energy fluctuation and a faint, almost imperceptible, pressure of immortality.

Compared to the puppets that Zhang Xuan himself crudely crafted using his own immortal body, this puppet has a more exquisite structure, a more efficient energy circuit, and is made of unheard-of materials, clearly representing a higher level of puppet-making skills.

"The Three Pure Immortal Realms possess profound resources, and their puppetry techniques far surpass those of our realm. If we can decipher their secrets and replicate them, our Immortal Gourd Realm, and even the Nine Divine Realms, will gain several True Immortal-level combatants!"

Once he made up his mind, he immediately took action.

He first summoned his youngest son, Hu Zi, who was obsessed with puppetry.

Although Hu Zi was only at the early stage of the Void Refinement realm, his talent in puppetry was truly astonishing.

With the resources provided by Zhang Xuan and his own ingenious ideas, he was able to independently design and refine a complex puppet with the combat power of the early stage of the Fusion Realm!

Their ideas are imaginative and unconventional, often finding new paths beyond traditional techniques.

"Father!"

When Hu Zi saw the True Immortal Puppet next to Zhang Xuan, his eyes widened instantly.

Seeing his son's fascination, Zhang Xuan smiled slightly: "This puppet involves the laws of immortality, which you cannot solve alone. I will find powerful allies to help you study and comprehend it together."

"Thank you, Father." Tiger was overjoyed.

Soon, through the mediation of Zhang Xuan's Daoist companion, Fairy Miaoyin, three Mahayana-stage masters of various arts, who enjoyed great renown in the Xuanhuang Great Realm, were invited to come.

The leader was the Heavenly Craftsman Dao Lord, the number one weapon refiner in the Xuanhuang Great Realm, with unparalleled expertise in materials science and energy runes.

There is also Shenji Daojun, who is proficient in array formations and mechanical puppetry, and is especially skilled at breaking restrictions and complex structures.

Finally, there is Lingyun Daojun, who has unique research on soul imprinting and energy spiritual transfer.

These three can be described as the pillars of the Xuanhuang Great Realm in all arts and crafts. If Zhang Xuan did not have a transcendent status and close relationship with the Xuanhuang Great Realm, he would not have been able to persuade them to join forces.

Based on the profound knowledge and experience of the three Mahayana Dao Lords, Tiangong, Shenji, and Lingyun, and with the resources of the entire Immortal Gourd Realm mobilized to cooperate, they began to decipher and study this True Immortal Puppet.

However, the materials used to create the True Immortal Puppet were of extremely high quality, and how to refine it immediately stumped everyone.

The Celestial Craftsman tried countless methods, but could not analyze its specific materials, let alone melt and replicate them.

Its internal energy circuits and rune system are like a tangled mess, completely different from the rune systems circulating in the Nine Divine Realms and even the Xuanhuang Great Realm.

Many structures seem to defy common sense, yet they subtly conform to a higher level of Taoist principles.

Even after several months of deduction, the Divine Strategist Daoist was only able to figure out one or two percent of the connections.

The most crucial driving force was sealed by a powerful immortal restriction.

Lingyun Daojun tried various secret techniques to penetrate the soul, but none of them could penetrate even slightly; instead, he suffered repeated backlashes.

The research had reached a stalemate.

"Could it be that the skills of the Three Pure Immortal Realms are truly beyond our reach?" The Heavenly Craftsman Daoist frowned, feeling a sense of unease for the first time.

"No, there must be a way to break it!" Tiger's eyes burned with determination. "Seniors, I think we might be going in the wrong direction. We've been trying to fit its Dao into our own. Perhaps we should try to understand the Dao itself?"

Zhang Xuan was struck dumb by what he heard.

He manipulated the principles of the Great Dao, slowly infusing them into the True Immortal Puppet, carefully sensing the subtle traces of its energy flow.

At the same time, he recalled that when he fought against the Golden Rainbow Sword Master, the way his sword domain star river operated was surprisingly similar to some of the energy fluctuations of this puppet.

"The Dao of the Three Pure Ones Immortal Realm emphasizes the unity of heaven and man, and the natural way. Their puppetry techniques may not be the assembly of inanimate objects, but rather the embodiment of some kind of Great Dao law," Zhang Xuan slowly stated his conjecture.

Upon hearing this, the three Dao Lords, Tiangong, Shenji, and Lingyun, were greatly shaken and immediately understood the research approach.

Once the direction is right, progress will be rapid.

A few years later.

Through Zhang Xuan's continuous analysis of the principles of the Great Dao, and through the tireless deductions of the three Mahayana Dao Lords, the mysteries of this True Immortal Puppet of the Three Pure Realms were gradually revealed.

"Yes! Yes!" Shenji Daojun exclaimed excitedly, "These runes may seem chaotic, but if viewed from the perspective of the movement of the stars and the interaction of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements... they are simulating the laws of a world!"

“This material…” Heavenly Craftsman Daoist’s eyes flashed with brilliance, “is not a single mineral deposit, but a combination of multiple top-grade immortal metals, star cores and void crystals, and then smelted with special immortal fire, causing its interior to naturally form patterns similar to the meridians of the Great Dao. No wonder it is so miraculous!”

"That restriction on the core drive..." Daoist Lingyun focused his senses, "is not a pure soul blockade, but more like a combination of... bloodline resonance and law certification! It requires a corresponding immortal bloodline or a specific law imprint to activate!"

Based on the analysis results, Tiangong Daojun proposed a brand-new high-level spiritual material alloy formula.

It is made with ten-thousand-year-old star iron as the base, infused with void mithril to enhance spatial affinity, and infused with immortal immortal gold to improve strength and toughness, and supplemented with dozens of rare auxiliary materials.

Finally, the Zhou Tian Star Array is activated to gather stellar power for tempering.

To this end, Zhang Xuan mobilized all channels of the Myriad Elephant Merchant Alliance and sought to purchase from allies in the Nine Divine Realms, almost plundering the entire alliance's inventory of top-grade immortal gold and related rare and precious materials.
