Eternal Life from Taking Care of Master's Wife

This is an exceptionally fragmented world, permeated with an ancient, vast aura.

Across the land, endless chasms split open like abysses, the deep black crevices seeming bottomless, their boundless darkness terrifying.

This world seems to have witnessed a terrible battle, akin to an ancient battlefield, shattered and fractured.

Within the Red Dust Celestial Ship.

Zhou Chen surveyed the Secret Realm world, secretly astonished:

"Could it be that a powerful figure has found this place and engaged in a final battle with the Puppet Emperor?"

Zhou Chen dared not be careless.

The Five Emperors Five-Colored Light on the Red Dust Celestial Ship had long been activated, the gold, green, blue, red, and yellow lights encircling the ship, circulating endlessly, like the rotation of the five elements.

Occasionally, flying creatures dashed toward them, only to be instantly crushed by the Five Emperors Five-Colored Light, turning into dust.

Though the Five Emperors Five-Colored Light is primarily defensive, its contained power is truly terrifying.

"Master, we’ve encountered an Array Barrier ahead. Forcing it open will cause the Secret Realm to collapse, taking jade and stone down together!"

Red Dust’s voice came, and the Celestial Ship stopped accordingly.

Zhou Chen looked over and indeed saw a barrier shimmering with radiant light.

After confirming there was no danger around, Zhou Chen carefully studied the Array Barrier before quickly coming to a conclusion.

"It seems that the Puppet Emperor set this as a test, requiring outstanding innate talent in the Puppet path to acquire his treasures!"

This Array Barrier is composed of Puppet Array Patterns, and the key to unlocking it lies within.

Only by understanding the Puppet Array Patterns left by the Puppet Emperor can one open this barrier.

Zhou Chen had learned a bit from the Treasure Map before, but that was merely superficial knowledge, just a lead.

After a stick of incense burned.

With Zhou Chen’s observation and research, he gained systematic knowledge of the Puppet Array Patterns.

He glanced at his personal panel and directly activated his ultimate move:

"Add Points!"

With the consumption of ten billion Wind and Moon Points, Zhou Chen seemed to have studied the Puppet Array for centuries, countless flashes of inspiration surging in his mind.

His insights into the Puppet path grew wildly like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

The previously obscure Array Barrier before him now appeared clear, as if he had unveiled the veil from an Unparalleled Fairy, revealing the enchanting scene without any cover.

Swish!

The Thunder Light Ruyi Hand was exerted, like solving a Rubik’s cube, Zhou Chen’s hands moved with lightning speed, rearranging and combining the Puppet Array Patterns.

When the final Puppet Array Pattern was set in place, the Array Barrier trembled, then opened a portal, inviting Zhou Chen in without hesitation.

Zhou Chen returned to the Celestial Ship, transformed into a stream of light, and rushed into the portal.

Afterwards, the portal closed.

"Damn it!"

"Just a step too late!"

A black-clad figure appeared suddenly, staring at the closed portal, eyes filled with fury.

He had also been researching the Array Barrier, knowing that force couldn’t be used.

Despite his knowledge in the Puppet path, breaking the array seemed indefinitely far away.

Yet, as he struggled in frustration, he suddenly sensed the commotion over here.

He came at full speed, but was still just a step late.

"But that’s okay!"

"What if you get it? You’re just collecting the treasure for me!"

The black-clad figure’s eyes glinted with malice.

While others hoarded grain, he stockpiled weapons.

Others were just his granary.

Once Zhou Chen came out, he would just rob him, wouldn’t that save countless efforts?

He might not know who the other person was.

But he didn’t think that person was stronger than him.

The Martial Emperor is rare.

At most, the other person is a King.

Even acquiring the Puppet Emperor’s treasure wouldn’t threaten him much.

No matter how powerful the treasure, it needs strength to wield it.

Cultivation remains fundamental.

...

"Inside here is entirely different from the outside!"

Zhou Chen’s eyes showed a hint of wonder.

After passing the Array Barrier’s gate, his view expanded, no longer the realm of endless destruction and desolation.

Rather, it was a hidden paradise with green grass, a profusion of blooming flowers, and countless Spirit Elixirs growing without restraint.

A barrier seemed to separate two completely different worlds.

"Roar!"

A thunderous dragon roar suddenly erupted from the bottom of Bibo Lake ahead.

The lake surface burst, splashing water everywhere, like a torrential downpour.

An enormous dragon, several tens of thousands of feet long, soared into the sky from the lake, its body a brilliant red-gold, as if cast in crimson gold, gleaming with dazzling light.

Its entire body was covered with closely-knit golden scales, but upon close inspection, each scale was as large as a millstone, shimmering with a gem-like luster.

The massive power distorted the space, the crimson-golden dragon eyes like two glorious suns, gazing down at Zhou Chen.

Like a divine dragon looking down on an ant.

"Hiss!"

Even standing inside the Celestial Ship, Zhou Chen could feel the terrifying power contained within the golden giant dragon.

Once released, it would surely be earth-shattering!

"This is the Puppet Emperor’s mount—Crimson Flame Dragon Emperor."

The Yaochi Empress’s voice gently echoed in Zhou Chen’s ears:

"Originally, it was a peak eighth-order Dragon Emperor, captured and forged into a puppet by the Puppet Emperor, its body fused with various Immortal Gold, comparable to a Great Emperor’s body!"

"Yet it’s only comparable, not truly at par with the Great Emperor!"

"However, even so, this Crimson Flame Dragon Emperor is an invincible being among Kings, even retaining some of its innate Divine Techniques from its previous life!"

"It was said to be damaged in a great battle back then, yet now it seems, after countless years, this Crimson Flame Dragon King has recovered!"

A powerful puppet not only possesses endless longevity, but its intelligence rivals humans, remaining utterly loyal to its master, never betraying.

Even if damaged, as long as its core remains intact, they can recover on their own by finding materials.
