The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 931 - 929: Spirit Puppet!

Chapter 931: Chapter 929: Spirit Puppet!

Inside Martial Intent Mountain, it was entirely a virtual battlefield.

But this virtual battlefield was exactly the same as the real one.

Lin Bai clenched his fists, feeling the power flowing within his body. Although there was a lot of it, it indeed existed.

Looking up, he saw the boundless desert of the Gobi, with wolf smoke rising everywhere, the fierce sun hanging high in the sky, and the scorching sunlight baking the earth.

From time to time, the shadows of many people flashed by, all of them warriors who had come to Martial Intent Mountain for training.

Lin Bai smiled slightly, curiously observing this heaven and earth!

He took a few steps forward.

Suddenly, Lin Bai saw a person not far ahead wearing a mask, wielding a sharp sword.

This person was very strange, with the words "First Grade Spirit Puppet" written on his mask.

"Is this a Spirit Puppet?"

"This Spirit Puppet actually looks just like a real person?"

Lin Bai curiously eyed this Spirit Puppet several times.

Suddenly, the Spirit Puppet, as if it had seen Lin Bai, swung its sharp sword, gathering a terrifying force of heaven and earth, and a scorching sensation, like flames, assaulted Lin Bai!

"So strong!"

Lin Bai immediately used his movement technique to shift away, dodging the power of this sword!

Thump, thump, thump—

Just as Lin Bai stepped back, the Spirit Puppet immediately charged forward, sword aura flaring with a sharp vigor, attacking Lin Bai.

Lin Bai watched as the Spirit Puppet charged over, unstoppable. With one hand clenched and an icy expression on his face, he whispered in a low voice, "Sword!"

In an instant, a faint sharp sword appeared in Lin Bai’s hand!

"Inside Martial Intent Mountain, even though it is my will incarnated, martial techniques and divine powers can still be used!"

"The main thing is that the memories are still intact!"

"Moreover, the treasure swords here can also be condensed with sword intention!"

Lin Bai glanced at the longsword condensed in his hand and immediately took a step forward, striking the Spirit Puppet in front of him with an extremely sharp sword aura.

No sooner had the sword aura struck than the Spirit Puppet burst apart like a papier-mâché figure before Lin Bai!

The Spirit Puppet shattered, leaving behind a crimson crystal the size of a fist in mid-air.

"Is this a Spirit Crystal?"

Lin Bai walked over, grabbed it, and infused the crimson Spirit Crystal into his hand.

"How do I absorb the Spirit Crystal?"

Just as Lin Bai wondered about this, the Spirit Crystal turned into a stream of heaven and earth energy in his hand, pouring into his body.

Immediately, Lin Bai felt a surge of power increasing within him.

"Just by willing it, I can absorb the Spirit Crystal?"

After absorbing the Spirit Crystal, Lin Bai furrowed his brows, "The heavenly and earthly power in this Spirit Crystal is so weak..."

"This Spirit Puppet was so easily killed by me, hence it probably wasn’t a formidable one."

"Since the Spirit Puppet had ’First Grade Spirit Puppet’ written on it, this must correspond to the cultivation of Ninth-Order Martial Intent."

"Which means, as I am now at Third-Order Sword Intent, the Spirit Crystals obtained from killing such a first-grade Spirit Puppet don’t offer me much help!"

"I should challenge Spirit Puppets of the third grade or even higher. That way, my cultivation of Martial Intent will progress faster!"

After pondering for a moment, Lin Bai continued to walk forward.

Being new to Martial Intent Mountain, Lin Bai was still unfamiliar with the place.

Therefore, Lin Bai needed to try out more.

An hour later, Lin Bai encountered another Spirit Puppet in this desert Gobi.

The mask on this Spirit Puppet read: Second Grade Spirit Puppet!

Lin Bai flew up with his sword, decisively killing the Spirit Puppet. After absorbing the Spirit Crystal, he found that the energy in this crystal was a bit more substantial than the first-grade Spirit Puppet he had killed before.

"It seems my guess was not wrong, the level of the Spirit Puppet corresponds to the nine ranks of Sword Intent cultivation!"

"Since my guess is correct, I should seek out Spirit Puppets above the third level to get greater help!"

"I can’t waste time!"

"To stay in Martial Intent Mountain costs a thousand points per day. Although I don’t lack these thousand points, I can’t just waste them! Moreover, I need even more points to cultivate the Mo Wen Sword!"

"Since that’s the case, let’s go find a Third Grade Spirit Puppet."

Lin Bai took a step forward, his figure as fast as lightning, shooting forward at breakneck speed.

At this moment, Lin Bai unleashed his full speed, nothing like his previous slow pace!

Half a day later.

Lin Bai had encountered more than thirty Second Grade Spirit Puppets in the Gobi, but he hadn’t come across a single Third Grade Spirit Puppet!

Moreover, Lin Bai felt that this Gobi was boundless, almost as if he could never walk out of it!

Of course, Lin Bai was not in a hurry and continued to search for Spirit Puppets.

Cultivation was, after all, a monotonous endeavor!

Hissss—

With a swift thrust of his sword, Lin Bai shattered the Spirit Puppet in front of him and absorbed the Spirit Crystal.

"Another Second Grade Spirit Puppet, why can’t I find any Third Grade Spirit Puppets?" Lin Bai said with a wry smile after absorbing the Spirit Crystal, looking out over the endless expanse of the Gobi.

At that very moment!

Lin Bai felt a vibration coming from his arm, and a token emerged from his palm.

"This is my Identity Token!"

The token that suddenly emerged from Lin Bai’s hand was none other than his Identity Token from the Miracle Ridge.

After the Identity Token appeared, it emitted a layer of white light.

Lin Bai gently tapped the white light, and immediately a woman’s voice came through: "Hello Lin Bai, I am Si Bao!"

"Si Bao? Aren’t you the spirit of the Physical Spirit Arena?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

Lin Bai knew of the existence of this spirit when he had visited the Physical Spirit Arena.

But Lin Bai didn’t expect that Si Bao could also appear on Martial Intent Mountain.

Si Bao replied, "My master Luo Qi has commanded me to manage all the illusory spaces on the Miracle Ridge, so we are connected."

"I see, so the Physical Spirit Arena was also refined by Senior Luo Qi?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"No, the master only refined Martial Intent Mountain. The Physical Spirit Arena was jointly refined by the master and the head of the Artifact Dao Sect," Si Bao replied.

"Alright. Si Bao, do you have something urgent to tell me?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

Si Bao answered, "Yes, there is a rescue message for all warriors in the Scorching Gobi. Would you like to listen to it?"

"There’s even such a function?" Lin Bai said with a slight smile.

Lin Bai felt that this illusory battlefield might not be as simple as he had imagined.

This Senior Luo Qi, who could refine both Martial Intent Mountain and the Physical Spirit Arena, must have an Array Dao level that was infinitely close to being an Array Master.

Si Bao explained, "Actually, your Identity Token should not be called an Identity Token, but a Sound Transmission Talisman, created by my master."

"It’s just that this Sound Transmission Talisman can only function in the illusory battlefield, and on the Miracle Ridge, it serves as your symbol of identity!"

"I understand." Lin Bai nodded slightly.

A Sound Transmission Talisman was an extremely powerful tool in the Martial World.

Some talismans could transmit voices across hundreds of thousands of miles. In Lingnan, this was quite common, but in places like the Miracle Ridge and Lingdong, where cultivation resources were scarce, they were rarely seen.

Even the Sound Transmission Talismans of the Miracle Ridge were confined to use within the illusory battlefield.

"Let me hear what the message is."

Lin Bai promptly said.

"Yes!"

Si Bao replied with a sound.

Immediately, a deep male voice came from Lin Bai’s Identity Token: "To all fellow daoists of the Nine Courtyards on the Scorching Gobi, I am Wei Yuhua, a disciple of the Spear Daoist Courtyard!"

"On Crocodile Beach to the southeast of the Scorching Gobi, a large number of Third Grade Spirit Puppets have appeared, including many powerful Fourth Grade Spirit Puppets. Although I have some teammates nearby, these Spirit Puppets are numerous, as if a Spiritual Tide has erupted, please come to support us swiftly!"

"Wei is deeply grateful!"

The message ended there.

But upon hearing it, a look of ecstasy appeared on Lin Bai’s face.

Lin Bai had been searching for a Third Grade Spirit Puppet in the Scorching Gobi without any luck, yet a group had appeared where Wei Yuhua was!

How could Lin Bai not be thrilled?

"Southeast! Crocodile Beach!" Lin Bai looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, determined his direction, and with his speed at full burst, he dashed off!
