Chapter 900 - 868: Subjugation
At the end of the grand hall, on that high platform.
There are five weapons of different shapes suspended in the air, lined up in a straight line, firmly attracting the attention of the five individuals including Lu Ping.
Even from afar, an aura of ancient and rustic nature strikes, emanating from those five weapons.
Clearly, those five weapons are far from ordinary.
From the aura, one can sense they are definitely not typical Tier Five Spiritual Artifacts, they can at least reach Tier Six level.
"The Five Elements Spiritual Treasures are indeed here."
The sensitivity of the Void Celestial Sword Spirit is very keen, murmuring to itself.
Lu Ping also gazed intently, observing those five Five Elements Spiritual Treasures.
At the same time, at the center position surrounding the grand hall, there stood puppet guards clad in silver armor, holding spears and shields, standing in an orderly manner.
They are tall and majestic, filled with a metallic aesthetic, standing there quietly.
In terms of quantity, there are at least over fifty of them.
And amidst them, there are two guards clad in golden armor, holding halberds, seemingly like leaders, not to be underestimated.
Judging by these two Golden Armor Puppet Guards, their strength is evidently higher.
At this moment, these puppet guards are guarding those five weapons, surrounding them firmly.
The perception of the Nascent Soul Cultivator is extremely sensitive; even from this distance, one can clearly feel the extraordinariness of those five Five Elements Spiritual Treasures.
Those five Spiritual Treasures don’t have fixed shapes but occasionally morph, turning into sword shapes at one moment.
Then they transform into an axe shape, and then into a bow and arrow shape.
"Are those five weapons the Five Elements Spiritual Treasures?"
Jiuhua True Monarch gazed with interest, observing those five weapons morphing into different shapes, displaying various styles.
Storing Five Elements Spiritual Treasures like these directly in this grand hall was somewhat unexpected for Jiuhua True Monarch.
"Those must indeed be the Five Elements Spiritual Treasures."
Xu Dezhi spoke: "When we initially investigated outside the relic, we discovered the location of the Five Elements Spiritual Treasures to be within this grand hall."
"Indeed."
Zhang Tianqun spoke: "What we need to do now is first subdue these puppet guards in front of us, and discuss the Spiritual Treasure matters later."
"So many puppet guards."
As Zhang Tianqun’s voice fell, Liu Taixuan surveyed left and right, seeing so many puppet guards, connecting the dots that they were at Golden Core Level. If one could control the refining methods of such puppet guards, wouldn’t it be possible to mass-produce battle power at Golden Core Level?
If this method could be mastered, this treasure-hunting journey would have been worth it.
Not to mention the Five Elements Spiritual Treasures.
"These puppet guards are not difficult to deal with."
Xu Dezhi spoke, glancing at those Silver Armor Guards, then focusing on the two Golden Armor Guards.
"We need to be cautious of these two golden puppet guards."
As the words fell, with the five individuals stepping in, the puppet guards began to activate one by one.
Originally standing still like statues, they suddenly moved, one by one turning their heads to look at Lu Ping and the others.
The once peaceful hall suddenly echoed with the sound of mechanical gears moving.
Over fifty puppet guards moved in unison, collectively focusing on Lu Ping and the others.
"Attack!"
Zhang Tianqun called out, first to deploy his Lifebound Magical Artifact.
Liu Taixuan and the others exchanged glances and took action as well.
The strength of these Silver Armor Guards is at the Middle Stage of Golden Core, not posing much difficulty for these Nascent Soul Cultivators.
All five took action simultaneously, each displaying their techniques and divine abilities, dealing with the Silver Armor Guards wielding spears and attacking.
It’s worth mentioning that Nascent Soul Cultivators battling opponents in the Golden Core Realm are completely suppressing them. Zhang Tianqun and the others could easily dismantle a Silver Armor Guard with just a casual strike.
The materials these Silver Armor Guards are made from are unknown; even though Lu Ping didn’t deploy the Thousand-Star Demon-Slaying Sword and attacked merely with a simple palm seal, a strike couldn’t shatter the Silver Armor Guard.
The defense of these Silver Armor Guards is very formidable. According to Lu Ping’s assessment, within the Golden Core Stage, no creature could breach their defense.
Such sturdy puppets of Golden Core Stage strength might be worth capturing for use in the Cyan Mountain Sect.
It’s worth a try.
Four Silver Armor Guards moved in unison, with simple maneuvers, wielding their spears and unleashing Golden Core Stage might, the pressure of the Golden Core stage swept over.
This attack seems simple, but in reality, it would bind creatures of the same tier if locked on, confining them where they stand and forcing them to deal with the spear’s attack.
The spear’s edge was restrained, capable of piercing through any Tier Five artifacts upon thrusting, possessing extremely strong penetration power.
Faced with such attacks, Lu Ping chose not to dodge; this Golden Core pressure was entirely ineffective against him.
With a wave of his sleeve, he unfolded the Qiankun Sleeve, a large sleeve sweeping over, enclosing three surrounding Silver Armor Guards within.
Rustling.
The appearance of the Qiankun Large Sleeve caught the eyes of Zhang Tianqun and others; with the large sleeve swiftly appearing, sweeping over four Silver Armor Guards, upon closer inspection, those four guards vanished, apparently enveloped in the sleeve.
"Universe in the Sleeve?"
Liu Taixuan narrowed his eyes with interest.
Beside him, Zhang Tianqun, Xu Dezhi, and Jiuhua True Monarch glanced sideways amidst defending against attacks from Silver Armor Guards.
Captured four Silver Armor Guards in one move, those guards entered the Qiankun Sleeve and were suppressed by its internal power, unable to move, naturally unable to resist.
After a while, due to isolation from Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi supply, they would lose their ability to move and revert to a statue-like state.
Lu Ping turned his gaze, locked on to six nearby Silver Armor Guards, and again unfolded his Qiankun Sleeve.
The large sleeve manifested, releasing Nascent Soul Power, overwhelming the Silver Armor Guards with its strength, leaving them powerless to resist.
Whoosh, as the sleeve retracted, six Silver Armor Guards were taken into the sleeve.
At that moment, Lu Ping set his sights on the two Golden Armor guards.
From aura perception, those two Golden Armor Guards’ strength had reached the Peak of Golden Core Stage, surpassing the Silver Armor Guard at the Middle Stage of Golden Core.
Who controls these puppet guards, even after such a long time, existing since ancient times, still capable of activity, exhibiting such power, which piques Lu Ping’s curiosity, wanting to capture and later explore further.
Compared to the Silver Armor Guards, the Golden Armor Guards also wielded a shield, enhancing their defense further.
