Chapter 158: Chapter 157: The Puppet with Spiritual Wisdom

Translator: 549690339

The first battle came to an end with Yun Fan defeating Tiger Bone using his

Spiritual Treasure. This demonstrated the superiority of spiritually intelligent Spiritual Treasures. Even the traditionalist sects that held on to old customs started contemplating whether to accept these new-generation Spiritual Treasures.

The subsequent battles were similar to Yun Fan’s. It was clear that the better the coordination with the Spiritual Treasure, the stronger the power. Even mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivators who had a good relationship with their Spiritual Treasures could defeat late Foundation Establishment stage cultivators with poor relations with their treasures.

Ji Zhi smiled and nodded. This was a good start.

After a round of battles at the Foundation Establishment Stage and eliminating half of the cultivators, the competition for cultivators of the Golden Core Stage began.

“The next match is between a disciple from the Wei family of the Zhou Dynasty and a disciple from the Luban Sect of the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty.”

The commentator, Destiny Daoist, explained, “We can see that the Wei family disciple has taken out a long spear and is wiping it carefully against the ground. It may be an illusion, but it appears that this Wei family member takes great care in maintaining his spear.”

“…The Wei family disciple has taken out an incense burner and three sticks of incense, positioning them in front of the spear. After bowing thrice, he inserts the incense into the burner, and kneels down.”

Although he knelt on the ground, the Wei family disciple felt no shame. Instead, he proudly called out, “I, the unworthy disciple of the Wei family, humbly call upon the spear to aid us.”

The long spear twitched as if satisfied with the disciple’s respectful attitude.

Before the fight even began, the disciple from the Luban Sect was thoroughly confused by his opponent’s actions, asking, “Fellow Daoist, why are you doing this?”

Despite having no elders in the Body Integration Realm, the Wei family, which has lasted a thousand years, has produced several cultivators in the Divinity Transformation Stage. The Wei family currently has four such family members, so their Spiritual Treasures would naturally not be lacking.

This long spear is a high-quality Magic Artifact, sufficient for use even within the Divinity Transformation Stage.

Of course, it should not be allowed to use its full strength, instead it’s limited to release power at the Golden Core Stage.

The Wei family disciple explained, “Fellow Daoist is unaware that a few years ago, this spear was my grandfather’s weapon. After acquiring spiritual intelligence, it made a gentleman’s agreement with my family. After my grandfather’s passing, the spear would not betray us and it would select its own successor within the family. It required that my family show it the utmost reverence and care.”

Proudly, he declared, “The Spirit Spear is a unique Spiritual Treasure of the Wei family.”

The Luban Sect disciple performed a respectful cup-fist-in-palm salute. While he did not understand the notion of veneration towards a Spiritual Treasure like it was an ancestor, he still demonstrated due respect.

“We see that the Luban Sect disciple has also brought out his Spiritual Treasure, which is indeed a puppet. The puppetry skills of the Luban Sect are unparalleled in the world. Even if you use Divine Sense, it might be hard to tell the puppet from a real thing.”

The puppet was an exquisite female figure, with black hair, a purple dress, and a cold expression. To any onlooker, she seemed as cold as an ice mountain. “My lady, let us take them on together!” The Luban Sect disciple encouraged his puppet.

The ice mountain lady puppet nodded, seemingly having understood the words of the Luban Sect disciple.

This time, the Wei family disciple was confused, “Fellow Daoist, is this your wife?”

Proudly, the Luban Sect disciple responded, “Indeed, my lady has been spiritually intelligent for four years. We’ve fought together, shared weal and woe. With the approval of our elders, we’ve even celebrated our wedding and spent our wedding night together. Our deep emotional bond is indicated by these things. Right, my lady?”

The icy puppet’s cheeks turned slightly red in shyness.

The Wei family disciple performed a respectful cup-fist-in-palm salute again. While he did not understand the idea of considering a Spiritual Treasure as his wife, he still showed the basic respect due.

Destiny Daoist was at a loss for words on how to commentate for a moment.

On the viewing platform, the spectators all turned their gaze towards the Sect Master of the Luban Sect.

The Sect Master of the Luban Sect explained, “As you know, we Luban sect originate from the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty, where the political waters are murky and even parents or spouses may not be entirely trustworthy. Just as the Yin Yang Heaven Seal began to spiritualize treasures, our puppets became spiritually intelligent.”

“Our puppets have been cultivated since they were young and we’ve grown emotionally attached to them. After they gained spiritual intelligence, they felt even closer. So it was proposed that we should just marry them. If married, there would be no fear of betrayal. This idea was agreed upon by everyone, so all our disciples are now wedded. Many even have multiple married puppets in their harem.

“It’s actually quite good. You can adjust your wife to whatever style you prefer. If you like older people, just adjust their appearance, enhance their charm. If you prefer younger ones, adjust their height. If you enjoy bravery…”

East Sea Dragon King seemed interested, “Do you have any extra puppets? I want to buy one and study the art of puppetry.”

“I’m somewhat interested in puppetry too.”

Tianming, the Daoist, sidetracked: “Here’s a free piece of information for you all – it was his own idea to marry the puppet.”

The Master of the Luban Sect acted as if deaf: “We in the Luban Sect do not have enough sentient puppets for our own use, I was hoping to ask Sect Master Bai Hongtu to use the Yin Yang Heaven Seal to transform more puppets, but I can’t seem to find him.”

Only then did everyone notice that representatives from six major sects and nine imperial dynasties were sent to observe the conference, but people from Dao Sect, Body-incorporating Sect, and the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty were not present.

Ji Zhi contemplated, these powers seemed to have one thing in common – they all experienced a Heavenly Trial…

“Ah, could it be that you, Ji Zhi, forgot to invite them?” Jiang Li was the first to ask.

Ji Zhi frowned: “How could that be, I’m sure I’ve sent out the invitations.”

“Then it’s strange, why didn’t they send anyone?” Jiang Li lowered his head in deep thought.

Ji Zhi’s train of thought was interrupted and he didn’t continue on this.

“Look at you people of the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty, how ruthless you are, lacking even basic trust between humans, forcing the Luban Sect to wed a puppet.” Below the stage, Yuan Infant Period Cultivator Bai Hongtu was condemning another Yuan Infant Period Cultivator, Yu Yin.

“This is blamed on me too?”

Sword Lord seemed thoughtful: “The mentality of cultivators of this age really is different from our time.”

“No no no, the era has not changed, the Luban Sect is the exception.” Li Er hastily refuted.

The Sword Lord was also very interested in Li Er, who is after all a person that has crossed the Immortal Heavenly Tribulation. Had it not been for the disappearance of the Immortal Ascension Stairway, he would have ascended to immortality as well.

“Fellow Daoist Li Er, can you tell us what it feels like to cross the Immortal Ascension Stairway?”

Upon hearing the Sword Lord’s question, Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin stopped arguing.

“It’s difficult, too difficult. My crossing was purely a fluke.” Li Er sighed, “And the second Immortal Tribulation is even stronger than the first. I’m sure I can’t survive it. Probably only tough folks like Commander Liu and Elder Sumeru can do it. It’s a mystery how Human Emperor Jiang survived it fifteen times.”

The first Immortal Tribulation is a test for cultivators. After passing it, one can become an immortal.

If you don’t go to the Immortal Realm, the second Immortal Tribulation will descend, which is not a test, but a prod for you to go to the Immortal Realm as soon as possible.

Commander Liu has weathered two Immortal Tribulations and Elder Sumeru has gone through three, showing their formidable strength.

However, what puzzled Li Er was that the Immortal Tribulations come at long intervals. It took Elder Sumeru nearly nine thousand years to encounter three. It’s a mystery how Human Emperor Jiang attracted so many of them.

“In my grandfather’s name, Gun Ye, go get them!”

“Madam, our love is stronger than gold, it can cut through metal!”

A hundred-war spear and a puppet were fighting fiercely. The cultivators on both sides were waving their banners and cheering, while their Golden Cores were operating, their Spiritual Energy was endless, and their various mystical Divine Skills were endlessly displayed, leaving the crowd awestruck.

” Tianming, the Daoist, didn’t speak for a long time.

Before the conference began, Tianming, the Daoist, thought that commentating on matches between low-level cultivators was an easy task, as he had seen everything.

He really had not seen this scene before..
