532: Chapter 386 532: Chapter 386 The Guan Yu Puppet said, “My master isn’t foolish enough to come out and get hit by you.
Why don’t you just state your purpose for doing this!”
“Oh, come on, hey, I do what I want to do.
Am I supposed to give a puppet a reason?
An upstart refuses to come out and meet us, thinking he’s so well-mannered?”
The Guan Yu Puppet then said, “Why should our master want to see you?
We don’t even know who you are, and you probably don’t recognize our master either.
If we are strangers to each other, why should we meet?”
“Ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha!” The other elders couldn’t help but laugh.
Their laughter shook the entire space, making everything spin.
Inside the spacecraft, Ye Tian also felt his ship spinning, but he steadied himself.
“Enough with the nonsense, die!” The golden-rooted elder’s rage intensified after being mocked and ridiculed, and he slapped down on the Guan Yu Puppet.
With such a heavy blow, the Guan Yu Puppet couldn’t withstand the impact and plummeted toward the ground with great speed.
Landing with unstoppable force, it blasted a deep crater on the surface, and continued uncontrollably.
Perhaps because of its superior materials, the Guan Yu Puppet, despite being struck so forcefully, was unscathed; after steadying itself, it ascended back into the sky.
The puppet that had been blown hundreds of miles away was also flying back at this moment.
Two robots stood guard in front of the spacecraft, defensively emanating protection for their master’s energy.
The elder, thinking he had crushed the two robots, was not expecting that his vicious words would turn into a joke in everyone’s eyes!
“Hehe, hehe!”
The dozen elders laughed again, their laughter dripping with sarcasm and mockery.
The elder was completely enraged by this, as he had never been so humiliated in all his life.
He was ridiculed in front of those older folks and toyed with by the young man before his eyes.
The elder was even more furious, putting extra force into the spells he used, his current level of strength such that a single breath could have sent the two puppets flying.
He had repeatedly held back from delivering a fatal blow, of course not willing to let others profit from a dispute between the young and the old.
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu had just ascended when the elder struck them with force.
Unlike before, they didn’t passively take the blow; the puppets’ minds also came up with clever tactics.
They simply used their tools to fend off the attack.
Beyond that, they joined forces to launch a spell of lightning.
Then they emitted water, transforming it into large blocks of ice to hurl at the elder.
That wasn’t all; as the elder easily dodged the ice blocks and couldn’t be troubled by the lightning, they knew they were up against a formidable opponent, so they created fireballs and spewed thick smoke after firing them.
The robots performed so many actions in just an instant, and their combined efforts were quite effective; shortly after, the spacecraft hid within the smoke.
On the ship, Ye Tian knew that just two puppets were no match for a Great Power Holder, and with those strange peals of laughter, he realized his bad luck had drawn some of the most powerful figures of the Cultivation World.
He was puzzled; weren’t these people typically in seclusion?
How had he managed to encounter them all today?
Feeling especially unlucky, he had yet to realize that among those Great Power Holders were elders from the Immortal Sect and ancestors from his family lineage.
Observing the elder continuously emitting laughter, the robots were indeed an eye-opener for them.
Previously, their family had not known such a formidable puppet-crafting method, nor did those Immortal Sect elders who had fared through the Martial World in their youth.
In combat, along with one’s own abilities, various Magical Treasures were used.
Some were at a disadvantage due to their lack of wealth and would end up dead or crippled in conflicts with others.
Those who had made it this far and became ancestors had seen much in their time, but after so many years of isolation in seclusion, they were out of touch with the world.
Now, facing a young man who could wield puppets so skillfully, no matter if he was a descendant or not, they couldn’t help but admire him.
The elder with the golden Spiritual Root was no longer as angry as before.
It could be said that with age, people’s moods become ever-changing; he could suddenly become like a petulant child:
“Alas, you’ve got some skills…
but before this old man, you’re like flaunting a broadsword in front of Guan Yu, too ignorant of your own mortality!”
“Hey hey, why are you calling my name?
I, Guan Yu, am right here…”
The voice of the elder did not receive a response from the young person on the ship, but instead, it drew the voice of the puppet.
“Hahaha”
“Interesting!”
The dozen or so Great Power Holders found it increasingly amusing.
The Guan Yu they spoke of was merely one of the legendary Celestial Generals.
As for whether Celestial Soldiers and Generals truly existed in the heavens, they had never seen them, but if one could ascend to immortality, one would possess their own guard squad or subordinates to brave new ventures with.
What great event had caused the heavens and earth to shatter 10,000 years ago, they, as elders, were not yet born at the time.
All they had heard were the tales passed down from their ancestors; in an era where ascension was accessible, whether they were human, demon, ghost, Buddhist, or Taoist—cultivators from different nations could all ascend to the Heavenly Realm, thus forming various factions, vying for supremacy in the heavens.
Just like the denizens of the Heavenly Realm, after the cataclysm, it was unknown whether those beings had perished or fallen into The Mortal Realm.
The Mortal Realm then resumed its endless struggles for supremacy.
Ever since the rift in the heavens, people could no longer ascend, and could only vie for dominance within the Martial World.
Some other cultivators also returned to their own domains, recuperating and proliferating there.
By the time they were born, more and more Great Power Holders in the Cultivation World started to seclude themselves deeply in meditation, dying reluctantly as their lifespans ended, having no choice but to pass away; the glory of the past, in an instant, all became illusory!
Just like them at their age, after many years without an increase in cultivation, they had originally thought that seclusion would help them advance, but found that even in seclusion, they were still unable to enhance their cultivation.
Every cultivator faces many difficulties when advancing to the next level, with the challenges increasing as one approaches the end, particularly in the aspect of support.
Poor supply hindered the increase of their spiritual energy, preventing them from breaking through.
This time, they were attracted by the Rainbow Light, feeling that they had been saved.
After emerging from seclusion, they heard of a Supreme Alchemist and felt the Supreme Elixirs would benefit them.
Embarking on adventures while seeking resources, the old ones were more eager to find that Supreme Alchemist.
Could they provide them with elixirs capable of universally boosting their cultivation, as well as longevity elixirs?
It was for this reason that the Gold Spiritual Root Great Power Holder was so determined to find that young person and speak to him, hoping to acquire the golden energy items on him, as he had found the energy to enhance himself.
“Guan Yu, call upon this human to flaunt the broadsword for your viewing pleasure,” jested the puppet Zhang Fei.
“Hahaha, even Guan Yu here…” This was a conversation between two puppets.
The elder started to get angry again.
Living as long as he had, it had been years since anyone had spoken to him with such a disparaging tone.
When he was young, he really had encountered such characters, but he had killed them all, leaving them dead and gone.
“Guan Yu, you dare to take this name for yourself?
You’re nothing but a puppet, daring to falsely assume the name of a Heavenly God, such audacity for a puppet.”
As soon as the elder finished speaking, he continued to unleash spell after spell.
As one with the Gold Spiritual Root, he emitted strands of gold light, sharp as swords, assaulting the two robots.
The two robots defended against the attacks using various methods, resisting the strikes, while also continuously dodging.
But a Great Power Holder was still a Great Power Holder; despite the robots being highly advanced, they were hit by the gold light.
Perhaps because better materials were used, they didn’t break when hit, but instead, they emitted a very loud alarm bell.
“Beep beep beep, beep!”
The puppets, perhaps unaware of pain, suffered no bloodshed, only some chipped paint where the gold light had struck.
“Oh, this young man, his craftsmanship is not bad!”
Eruptions of amazed exclamations followed, as this was a technology they had never seen before.
If it were their own puppets, having been treated so by a Great Power Holder, they would have already been reduced to dross.
There wouldn’t be any parts left to mention.
