Episode 96

  In the midst of a thunderstorm, strong winds and heavy rains poured down, with dark clouds rolling in. Only when a bolt of lightning flashed across, illuminating everything around, could one see the surroundings. In the sky above the small island, tens of miles high, the wind and rain were fierce, the thunder and lightning were intense. It seemed that only violent forces remained in this world. Suddenly, under a large patch of dark clouds, in a dimly lit area, a space about the size of a square inch appeared, with a faint golden light at first, which gradually grew larger and brighter, accompanied by a loud "whooshing" sound. A large block of colorful cloud burst forth, upon which stood ten or more figures, all wearing masks and holding deadly weapons. The first figure wore a green armor robe, riding on a beast that was like a snake but not a snake, like a dragon but not a dragon - it was actually a giant python. The person slightly lowered their head, scanning the surrounding sea area.

  "Elder, have you discovered anything?"

  Yi Xiu bowed his head and asked.

  "There are three islands here, none of them very big. Let's split up and search separately."

  "Yes!"

  The crowd split into three, six or seven people in a group, and flew to the three islands. The five-colored immortal cloud also opened in three parts, with flashing rays of light, rushing through this dark space, it was indeed wonderful.

  The dark clouds in the sky were still lingering, and there was nothing else outside. However, beneath the explosive sounds in the black domain, another dense cloud emerged quietly. It connected with the dark clouds here, making it impossible to distinguish whether it had just broken through the air or not. Only a gigantic egg-shaped object floated above the clouds, slowly opening up like a lotus flower blooming gradually, with countless rays of light emanating from it. In its center, about twenty practitioners in various colored robes stood on top of it, their figures only visible under the rays of light. Among them, one person wore a silver robe, with cloud-patterned golden boots stepping on a green stone that seemed to be emitting a strange aura, making people's hearts tremble with fear. The others were all dressed in green robes like the color of flower leaves, surrounding the person in the silver robe. That person said:

  "Hao, investigate it!"

  "Yes, milord."

  One person rushed out of the line, took out an object from his bosom, which was spherical in shape, crystal clear and transparent like jade. The one called Hao, with a thread of divine power, directly entered the crystal ball. In the silent and soundless interval, an island appeared inside the crystal ball, and it was actually a place that was not enough for Chang'e to live in!

  "The lord, the aura of the great array's disappearance is pointing to a small island in the north."

  "Go!"

  The lord spoke coldly and waved his hand, and all the cultivators followed him as he stepped on the clouds.

  Inside the cave, it is still unclear whether Chang'e and Hou Yi are the cause of this great calamity.

  "Insufficient brother, I thought they wouldn't come for your surname! Why? When your master refined you into a puppet, he didn't mention that sacred object. The value of the sacred object is not something a mere puppet can attain! Firstly. Secondly, I heard from Senior Sister Xu Zhen that Refining Master Ye's creation of puppets may not be the work of one person in a short period of time, but rather the accumulation of many years, so it must not be solely aimed at you alone. Thirdly, refining puppets probably requires a special physical body, and not everyone can do it. Perhaps Master Ye has taken a liking to your sturdy physique!"

  "Does this mean that the calamity of this era has nothing to do with a certain family's surname?"

  "Hmm! It must be so."

  "Chang Er, since it's like this, let's just let the sect capture us. One is used by the puppet, and it's definitely not beneficial to a certain family. The Yixiu Gate only wants to kill Tianye Shizun, and doesn't want to destroy the formation. Now that the formation has been destroyed, only a certain family has seen it. I think the master of the gate will not want me to be the puppet of the hidden repair, and lose what the formation is trying to achieve. Killing the puppet may be the choice of the master of the gate, but if a certain family is gone, then there's no hope for the formation! Moreover, Yixiu Gate is after all a prestigious sect with a long history, and there is still a hint of righteousness in its inheritance. Although many people in the sect are only interested in their own gain, there may be one or two who are upright and just. Compared to the hidden repair's actions that dare not see the light of day, Yixiu Gate may be a temporary place to hide."

  "It should be like this! What other way is there?"

  Chang Er and the Insufficient Ferryman made their way to the realm of the spirits, observing all the caves from afar. They saw that the cultivators had already arrived nearby, with more following closely behind. Suddenly, a voice said:

  "Insufficient elder brother, Yi Xiu Men's disciple has come, perhaps you've seen him before!"

  "Hmm! Who is it?"

  "There were three people who were the ones we met when we first came to the sect and went to Yi Xiu Xian Fu. They were those masked cultivators! At that time, their movements were suspicious, and you were still wondering about it. I was also looking for you at that time, and I knew from afar in the sea."

  "Ah, I remember now. No wonder there were a few familiar figures!"

  "Alright, younger brother is not enough, I'm here."

  "Hmm! Let's wait in the cave then."

  Insufficient words, he got up and walked to the entrance of the cave, sat down at the entrance, and guarded the entrance. Chang'er saw that his five senses were externalized, and his four sides went to feel, knowing that he was not enough, and his brother's mood was uneasy at this time. However, he guarded the entrance of the cave, but let her stay inside the cave, and didn't let Dingding'er just look at him, his eyes were warm, and his expression was gentle.

  According to the insufficient cultivation of refining the body, the six senses can only be attached to the body and used. Even if it is a strong cultivator who refines the senses, at this time, it is already the limit to release the senses outside for dozens of feet. However, the insufficient cultivation method is to cultivate the senses first, and the technique is ingenious. Being able to refine the body's cultivation to release the senses is already a great wonder, but the insufficient can release the senses hundreds of miles away, which is simply magical in itself! Moreover, it can even condense attacks, which is something that even the Small Round Completion cultivators cannot do! The other type of insufficient cultivation is actually difficult to categorize and define within the current cultivator's realm.

  But its divine work is inferior! Chang'er smiled and shook her head. The insufficient yuan Shen has not been condensed until now, let alone condensed into a nucleus, achieving the state of condensing yuan. Even if it's like a flowing liquid, the achievement of the law body still lacks half a step, and it hasn't been fully reached yet. According to the current theory of cultivation, the law body is cultivated with the yuan Shen being real and attached to the physical body, and the six senses are free to enter and exit, then one can ride on the clouds, drive the fog, practice the immortal method, and master the Taoist techniques. Although they are all immature, ordinary people in the mortal world all call them "immortals"!

  Chang'e saw that she was alone and sat quietly at the entrance of the cave, so he also walked over and sat down beside her.

  "Insufficient elder brother, if our sect arrives first then what?"

  "Let's just take things as they come and make decisions accordingly, what else can we do?!"

  He let out a sigh of regret.

  However, Chang'er, you mustn't compete with others. You've just achieved the Law Body, and your divine powers and combat experience are still weak, so don't take action rashly.

  "Yes, I know, brother, Qiaorong understands."

  The two of them then gazed out at the rain curtain, their mouths closed and not speaking. Suddenly, he raised his head to look up at the dark clouds above, a round object like a fireball flew out from those dark clouds, flying towards this small island.

  "Insufficient elder brother is in hiding, I'm afraid he's searching for both of us."

  "Don't worry!"

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, in just a short while, that spherical object flew out of the dark clouds and rapidly flew towards this small island. The outer shell of the egg was gradually engulfed in flames, causing the divine energy of the surrounding heaven and earth to become disturbed.

  Boom

  A loud noise shook the mountain and fell onto the sandy beach of the island, stirring up a fierce gale that swept around. Even the seawater seemed to have turned into a pack of wild wolves, surging forward in a frenzy. The flames on its shell gradually subsided until they were no longer visible. At this moment, without taking a closer look, the giant egg was entirely black, like a huge temple, bigger than the Like-Minded Pavilion of the Taizhen Immortal by nearly one circle, and with an even more majestic aura. Suddenly, a brilliant light burst forth, and the giant egg slowly began to open up like a flower, its petals like blades, shining with colorful lights, as if it were a breathtakingly beautiful sight. However, its power was such that at this moment, it was impossible to know what it was capable of, and one would not dare to have any thoughts about it. The entire flower opened wide, and more than ten people in green robes walked out, slowly dispersing and surrounding the cave entrance. Upon observing them, they seemed to be quite cautious.

  "Chang'er, hold on to your things tightly, I'm afraid a fight is about to break out. If the other cultivators from our sect arrive in time, that's fine, otherwise, you and I will have to hold them off for a while!"

  "I understand, thank you brother."

  Chang'er responded while feeling deeply surprised and delighted. Needless to say, her physical body was insufficient, but even her five senses had become incredibly powerful! It was truly unimaginable according to normal reasoning! It could be seen that the so-called Tai Chu Duan Ti Da Zhen's power was indeed capable of defying heaven!

  "Little lord, there is a cultivator in the cave."

  "Get out of here!"

  "Come out!"

  A middle-aged cultivator took a few steps forward and shouted loudly. His voice was calm and peaceful, yet it was as majestic as an order. The golden qilin didn't dare to disobey, and it led the way out of the cave, standing in the rain. When the middle-aged cultivator saw that the golden qilin didn't dare to come out, he took a deep breath and was shocked on the spot!

  "Array puppet! Array puppet! It's actually an array puppet! You... you... you're still alive!"

  "What is it?"

  The silver-robed man asked coldly at this time.

  "Ah, young master, this person is a disciple of Ye Wen's heavenly envoy, named Feng Cheng! Oh no! This person is actually the already refined Array Core Puppet!"

  "Hmm! What's going on? Utter chaos!"

  The man in silver robes slightly furrowed his brow and said.

  "This person is the main master's strict law-refining array core puppet! It was thought that he had been destroyed along with the law array, but unexpectedly, he is still alive!"
