Chapter 792 - 781: Scattering Beans into Soldiers
Ding Ling speculated accordingly.
Otherwise, there’s no way to explain this situation.
"The heavens and earth of this world are about to merge. Could that serpent be the Doomsday Python?"
Ding Ling couldn’t comprehend, it was unimaginable.
Even though he had experienced the Demon Realm, Divine Realm, and time travel in the Wind and Cloud World.
This was also the first time seeing such a terrifying thing.
A gigantic python capable of devouring even the Celestial Palace and Earth Dao.
"Was it naturally occurring? Or man-made?"
"Who is the protagonist of that silhouette in Zhang Jiao’s memory? Could it be Nanhua Old Immortal?"
Ding Ling was lost in thought.
After a brief appearance in the Three Kingdoms, Nanhua Old Immortal vanished.
Some say he went to the Immortal Realm.
Others say he died; some think he might be hiding in a corner of the Three Kingdoms World, overlooking all beings.
What is the truth?
It’s hard to know.
But if the Netherworld is swallowed by this python?
The consequences might be unimaginably terrifying.
With one step, Ding Ling covered hundreds of miles, with the Divine Meditation Technique and Qi Cultivation Skill empowering him, and various Full Level Taiping Sutra techniques at his disposal.
As Ding Ling advanced, wind, clouds, thunder, and lightning accompanied him, and in a flash, he covered over a thousand miles.
Incredibly fast!
"Indeed, these techniques can empower oneself. It’s just surprising that they increased the speed of the Sword Spirit several times, which I didn’t expect."
Thunder and Lightning Manipulation Technique.
Wind-and-Rain Summoning.
Scattering Beans into Soldiers.
Paper Cutting into Humans.
...
Various exotic techniques could be used freely by Ding Ling.
Instantly reaching full level.
Allowing Ding Ling’s understanding of these techniques to reach an extremely advanced level.
He flew over the depths of the swamp, looking at the towering mountains, and thought:
"I need to find Shekou and see what’s really going on."
The Sword Spirit is immortal.
This was Ding Ling’s confidence in exploring.
Of course.
If he encountered a terrifying being capable of destroying the Sword Spirit, Ding Ling would have to admit defeat.
So, he thought for a moment and picked up some mud from the ground, kneading them into beans.
Then the Divine Meditation Technique mapped out a twenty-thousand-mile radius.
"Found it."
Ding Ling soared a thousand miles into the cloud sea, overlooking the lower realm, and saw Shekou below.
The amount of Ghost Qi and Soul Qi being expelled from Shekou was extremely massive.
Standing here and seeing it up close.
The feeling was clearer.
Ding Ling for a moment felt as if he might be sucked in at any moment.
"Go!"
Ding Ling flung the ’beans’ in his hand.
Whoosh whoosh!
The beans fell toward Shekou like raindrops, and then transformed into powerful puppet soldiers.
These soldiers stood eight feet tall, wearing earth-colored armor, their expressions solemn and commanding, and under Ding Ling’s control, they wielded long spears, clattered their way into Shekou.
Ding Ling used his mind to control these soldiers.
As the soldiers passed through.
He could roughly sense the situation inside Shekou.
This was the heaven-defying effect produced by ’Scattering Beans into Soldiers’ combined with the Divine Meditation Technique.
Just relying on the Divine Meditation Technique made it impossible to sense the inside of Shekou.
Though this Divine Meditation Technique could sense a vast range, it could only perceive the surface, not the inner details.
Whereas the soldiers from Scattering Beans could charge into Shekou.
And they were infused with Ding Ling’s thoughts.
When Ding Ling moved his thoughts, the Divine Meditation Technique could be activated.
Thus each of these soldiers was equivalent to a weakened version of ’Ding Ling’.
Clatter clatter!
The soldiers ran quickly, in a moment they reached the depths of Shekou, seeing two main paths.
Ding Ling decided to divide the soldiers into two groups.
One group ran to the left, the other ran to the right.
The hundred soldiers on the left ran quickly, but never seemed to reach the end.
The path seemed to become wider as they ran.
As if reaching the depths of a mountain path.
While the hundred soldiers on the right ran for a full half-hour, finally arriving in an extremely vast space.
This space was vast, resembling a Grotto Heaven World, with an expanse of seemingly hundreds of miles in length and width!
The overall impression was: a deep green with a hint of blood red.
Through the soldiers, Ding Ling perceived using his mind.
He saw clearly that the blood-red object was actually an ’Alchemy Furnace’.
This Alchemy Furnace hung in mid-air, continuously refining unknown gases.
Each strand of gas refined.
Deepened the green.
The blood-red became more vivid, as if it might come alive at any moment.
Ding Ling controlled the soldiers to leap over a deep ravine, wielding spears, boom! Striking the Alchemy Furnace.
The Alchemy Furnace rattled, shaking twice.
But didn’t fall.
Ding Ling kept controlling the soldiers to strike it.
A hundred soldiers took turns attacking, moments later, the Alchemy Furnace fell down, flipping over on the ground! Whoosh!
The gas within the Alchemy Furnace spilt out.
The gas washed over the soldiers.
The soldiers seemed to receive immense fortune, quickly growing and towering, soon, all hundred soldiers rose to over two meters tall.
Not only became more imposing and strong.
Their armor and equipment also became shinier, sturdier, and synchronized with the heavens and earth.
Their eyes seemed more lively.
"...!!!"
Ding Ling was utterly astonished.
Controlling these soldiers became exponentially more challenging, his control difficulty soared over a hundredfold.
"Are these soldiers about to come alive?"
"How is this possible?"
Ding Ling decided to have these soldiers return.
Of course, carrying the Alchemy Furnace back.
The soldiers hadn’t truly come to life yet.
Still puppets.
So under Ding Ling’s mind control, they obediently divided into three groups, each carrying one ’foot’, lifting the Three-legged Tripod out of the area.
Ding Ling let ninety-nine soldiers return first.
Leaving one soldier to stay in the Grotto Heaven World.
Instinctively.
Ding Ling had a premonition.
This Grotto Heaven World, without the Alchemy Furnace, was bound to undergo a massive change.
Sure enough.
As the Alchemy Furnace moved farther from the Grotto Heaven World.
This Grotto Heaven World began to shrink and collapse.
After only a brief collapse.
It stopped.
Upon sensing again.
The Grotto Heaven World astonishingly shrank from being a hundred miles in length and width to fifty miles.
A fifty-mile area collapse and shrinkage.
"Just missing a furnace!"
"Yet it changed so much."
It seems this furnace contained Heaven and Earth.
Ding Ling used his mind to control the soldier to search for an exit within the Grotto Heaven World.
Discovering only the original path was open, other ’entrances’ were all sealed.
"There are paths."
But seemingly not paths for ordinary people to break in through.
Ding Ling thought for a moment, deciding to have the soldier return as well.
All these soldiers had absorbed a bit of the special gas from the Alchemy Furnace.
Ding Ling intended to study what this gas really was.
To make each mud puppet soldier transform so dramatically was simply incredible.
Clatter clatter clatter!
The other hundred-man team was still racing in the mountain path, seemingly never reaching the end.
