Rebirth of the Useless Bastard Son

“What happened to the Core Formation evil cultivator we caught before?” Li Tianyan asked Tian Min.

“The sea of ​​consciousness of the evil cultivator is subjected to multiple restrictions. The technique of soul extraction is temporarily unavailable. The evil cultivator is also extremely cunning. Knowing that we cannot extract the soul, he refuses to explain anything,” Elder Tian Min shook his head.

“The sect leader sneaked into his sea of ​​consciousness and successfully broke through the two restrictions, but he could only view part of the memory.”

Evil cultivation skills were limited, and cultivating a Core Formation was generally difficult. Moreover, their methods were sinister, and resisting the thunder without a life-saving object was challenging. Therefore, there were very few Core Formation evil cultivators in Hengwu Continent.

More than a hundred years ago, a foundation-establishment evil cultivator had found a way to refine a zombie puppet. This person had successfully survived the thunder tribulation by relying on the puppet. Afterward, he gathered a group of evil cultivators, established the Shura Sect, and become the leader of the Shura Sect.

The Shura Sect had grown stronger over time and had even conquered the established forces near Canghai Sea. Any forces unwilling to surrender to the Shura Sect had long since disappeared.

However, apart from the original elders, few could enter the core of the Shura Sect, and only these individuals could be assigned puppets. Other evil cultivators seeking puppets had to make significant contributions to the Shura Sect.

The Core Formation evil cultivator captured this time had been one of the first followers of the Shura Sect’s leader.

“Later, the Shura Sect’s appetite had grown, and it had set its sights on the Five Regions. However, the major cultivating sects that controlled the Five Regions had strong foundations that the Shura Sect at that time could not have imagined. Moreover, there were alliances between the several domains. Because of these relationships, the Shura Sect didn’t dare to act rashly, so they came up with a plan.”

Before he finished speaking, Li Tianyan spoke first, “Let the evil spies infiltrate all sects, weaken the strength of the Immortal Sect and disrupt the alliances between the domains.”

Elder Tian Min nodded, “Yes. As for those puppets, the method of making them lay solely with the leader of the Shura Sect; no one else can spy on it. Even the Core Formation evil cultivators only know that the puppets are connected to Asura and are very difficult to create.”

“Asura?” Cheng Qi tilted his head and asked in confusion.

“Some people speculated that it was Asura from the Asura world, but the details were not clear yet. As for the core base of the Shura Sect, we could only check it after more restrictions were broken. At this time, neither the sect leader nor Elder Wu Gen could think of a way. If we acted rashly, I was worried that we would scare the monkey,” Elder Tian Min sighed.

Cheng Qi turned to look at Li Tianyan, as if asking him if he could unlock the restriction.

Li Tianyan naturally understood what he meant, but shook his head. The moment he caught the Core Formation evil cultivator, he had already discovered the restriction on the opponent’s sea of consciousness.

The reason why he could easily check Chi Zhuo’s memory was because the restrictions on Chi Zhuo’s knowledge of the sea were not cumbersome.

But the Core Formation evil cultivator was different. That guy’s restriction should have been imposed by a high-level Core Formation cultivator. If one failed to trigger the restriction, even his own sea of consciousness would be damaged. In the past, Li Tianyan didn’t care, but now, it was better to think of a safer way.

But speaking of puppets, Li Tianyan released a puppet covered in scars. This puppet was Cheng Qi’s opponent that day and was burned to pieces by the Yin Fire. Li Tianyan kept him, just in time to study it carefully.

Elder Tian Min saw the puppet and walked forward with great interest, “What did Tianyan find?”

“Not yet, but you can check it out.” His two puppets were intact before and Li Tianyan was reluctant to cut them open, so this one could be used for a try.

These zombie puppets were stronger than ordinary people, but otherwise there was no difference. However, their faces had become a little ferocious, and their original appearance could not be clearly seen.

Li Tianyan took out a dagger and scratched the puppet’s burned area. Even though it was injured like this, Li Tianyan still had to wrap his sword intent around the dagger to cut the puppet’s skin.

Cheng Qi saw Li Tianyan’s movements and curiously went over to watch. The puppet’s wound had been burned by Yin Fire, and there was no bleeding. Only when it was cut open by the dagger did black blood seep out from the body, and at the same time, a stench spread.

As Li Tianyan frowned, his mouth and nose were covered by a fragrant palm, and he suddenly felt better. After giving Cheng Qi a grateful look, Li Tianyan turned around and looked at the puppet intently.

There was nothing unusual about this blood. It just stank after being dead for too long. However, after death, the body did not rot, and the blood did not dry up. This person’s puppetry skills could be seen as outstanding.

Later, Li Tianyan checked the bones again and found that there were golden spots on the bones. He immediately cut open the heart and, sure enough, saw golden blood flowing out of the puppet.

“Why is this blood golden?” Elder Tian Min asked in surprise.

“Asura’s Essence and Blood.” Li Tianyan recalled he had seen a puppet forging method in a puppet gate ruin, which was slightly similar to the situation in front of him.

It involved soaking the living cultivator in a barrel of medicine to stimulate his potential or even let him release all his potential at once. Then, when the potential exploded, all the blood in his body, including his heart blood, would be replaced with the blood of an alien species. This process could make life worse than death.

As the blood in the whole body was replaced, the person began to slowly transform, finally becoming a zombie puppet similar to an alien species.

However, most people could not survive the blood replacement process, so the success rate of this puppet forging technique was very low.

If this puppet forging technique appeared in Tianyun Continent, it would be immediately classified as a forbidden technique, so Li Tianyan destroyed it after reading it. The puppet in front of him had the same effect, but the method was much simpler.
