Chapitre 365: Chapter 364: Dou Saint Skeleton
"What are you looking at, Xiao Ming?" Just as Xiao Ming was examining the medicinal cauldron, he heard Zi Yan's voice from behind.
He turned around and indeed saw Zi Yan curiously looking around the room.
"Why did you suddenly come over? Aren't you playing with that pill beast?" Xiao Ming asked.
"Hmph, that little thing only knows how to hide in Sister Yi Xian's arms!" Zi Yan replied in annoyance.
'If you didn't drool over it, it would probably be happy to stay in your arms...' Xiao Ming glanced at her but didn't say anything. Instead, he pointed at the medicinal cauldron in front of them.
"This is the famous Deep Sea Spirit from the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking!"
"Deep Sea Spirit?" Zi Yan tilted her head, glanced at it curiously, and then lost interest, focusing on searching the pill room instead.
Zi Yan was only interested in medicinal herbs and pills, not medicinal cauldrons.
Xiao Ming stored the Deep Sea Spirit in his storage ring and joined Zi Yan in the search.
The presence of the Deep Sea Spirit in this pill room already indicated its extraordinary nature. They discovered a study-like area inside, most likely the place where the previous owner of the remains studied pill recipes.
They took down wooden boxes from the bookshelves, covered in layers of dust but still in relatively good condition. Xiao Ming opened each one of them.
After waving away the dust, he found numerous ancient pill recipes, manuscripts, and annotations. These were the painstaking works of the previous owner of the remains. He even came across a ninth-tier treasure pill recipe among them.
Naturally, Xiao Ming didn't hesitate to take them all, greatly enriching his own collection.
After thoroughly searching the Pill Palace, they left once again.
In the following days, Xiao Ming led everyone to scour the remaining places in the remains, including the Qi Method Hall, the Dou Technique Hall, and a series of other locations.
Although Xiao Ming couldn't guarantee that they didn't miss anything in the entire remains, he dared to say that most of the valuable treasures had fallen into their hands.
The collection of a Dou Saint powerhouse could be incredibly abundant!
All the items filled more than a dozen storage rings that Xiao Ming had prepared. With this enormous wealth, establishing a top-tier force would be effortless.
After looting the side halls, they finally arrived at a large hall.
"This is the main hall of the remains…" Qing Lin murmured.
The large hall was bronze yellow in color, its ancient aura spreading from every stone plate. The hall was extremely wide, and in the middle were ten huge light clusters suspended in midair. Within those lights, scroll-like objects could be vaguely seen.
Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, and the others felt their hearts racing as they gazed at the light clusters. Xiao Ming had told them that there should be a Tian Class Dou Technique stored here. Could these be the so-called Tian Class Dou Technique?
Their gazes swept over the clusters of light, each exuding a strange and oppressive aura. Xiao Ming's gaze eventually settled in the middle of the ten light clusters, where a stone seat was located. On the stone chair sat a completely jade-white skeleton, its hands forming a seal.
A Dou Saint's Skeleton!
Unconsciously, a burning desire had already emerged in Xiao Ming's eyes. This Dou Saint's skeleton, both in terms of its inherent value and the Tian Class Dou Technique it possessed, was enough to make one yearn for it. Those light clusters were merely distractions.
This Dou Saint's skeleton would be the key to Xiao Ming's breakthrough into the Dou Venerate realm and his rapid progress through it!
Xiao Yi Xian and the others also noticed the imposing skeleton in the center of the light clusters. However, their experiences over the past few days made them realize that this remains held many dangers. So, they surveyed their surroundings, looking for any threats.
Around the towering stone seat, more than a dozen figures sat in meditation. These figures had a lime-colored appearance, resembling stone sculptures from a distance. Their eyes were tightly shut, and their postures had preserved countless years of history.
"Puppets?" Seeing these statue-like figures that showed no signs of life, Xiao Yi Xian exclaimed in a low voice.
"Yes... and they are likely quite high-grade puppets. This feeling is similar to the Sky Demon Puppets. If I'm not mistaken, these dozen or so puppets should possess the strength of a Dou Venerate," Xiao Ming whispered. Although these puppets were motionless at the moment, that was only because they hadn't been activated yet. One could imagine that once these puppets were triggered, if they were unprepared, it would undoubtedly result in a fierce and brutal battle.
"These are Ancient Human Puppets. Through special means, the souls of powerful individuals were extracted from their bodies and sealed within the puppet's body. Such puppets not only possess consciousness but can also unleash Dou Techniques. They are far more formidable than ordinary puppets," added Venerable Tian Huo.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian and the others' expressions changed slightly. Several dozen Dou Venerate powerhouses - the lineup was enough to easily obliterate several forces like the Four Pavilions.
"So, what should we do next? Should I break the spatial seal in front of us?" Zi Yan touched the transparent yet sturdy spatial barrier that appeared before her.
"Wait a moment." Xiao Ming waved his hand, and more than twenty golden puppets of varying shades appeared before everyone. Upon counting, there were actually twenty-seven of them!
"There are so many Sky Demon Puppets!"
Xiao Ming had never revealed the number of puppets he had refined to anyone except Zi Yan. Although the others knew that Xiao Ming had refined Sky Demon Puppets, they had no idea there were so many. Their faces were filled with surprise and astonishment.
After the surprise, excitement emerged. With these puppets, the threat posed by the Ancient Human Puppets would be minimized!
"Later, I will control these Sky Demon Puppets to restrain the Ancient Human Puppets while you collect the light clusters. After collecting them, cooperate with me to eliminate the Ancient Human Puppets. The Dou Saint skeleton has something peculiar, so don't touch it," Xiao Ming instructed with a serious expression.
Upon hearing this, the experienced Venerable Tian Huo was the first to understand, and his face turned somewhat unsightly. "Are you saying that thing might still be alive?"
The soul of Venerable Tian Huo could endure in the depths of magma, relying on the existence of the Heavenly Flame for many years. Similarly, the soul of a Dou Saint could do the same. Some Dou Saints could even seize others' bodies directly with their residual spiritual imprints.
"No need to panic. Inside the Dou Saint skeleton, there is only a trace of the imprinted soul left by that powerhouse before his death. It is not a true Dou Saint. It is not impossible to defeat it, but the premise is that we don't awaken it in advance while dealing with the Ancient Human Puppets. Otherwise, the consequences will be uncertain," Xiao Ming said solemnly.
