Chapter 968
Monarch Soul Divergence’s voice eventually broke the silence and he deeply said, “Have you ever heard of Divine Flow Clay?”
Han Li looked at the stone with surprise, “Of course I have . It’s also known as Illusory Paste, a rare material used to refine complicated magic tools, and is said to be able to create any artifact . It also has the unique property of restoring any damage that it suffers . Could this unremarkable thing be it? I’ve heard that Divine Flow Clay was white and as smooth as jade . ”
“Youngster Han, don’t be alarmed . This is truly Divine Flow Clay . However, ancient cultivators had mixed it with something else, and had peculiarly refined it into something known to them as Flexile Spirit Jade . Those that can recognize this material can’t number more than a dozen . I had found some information regarding this in an ancient cultivator residence and have long forgotten it . Have I not been reminded of something similar to it, I wouldn’t have remembered . ”
Han Li pensively asked, “Flexile Spirit Jade? What’s the difference between that and Divine Flow Clay?”
“Hadn’t you already discovered it? Not only will this material recover from deformation, but it can absorb the magic power of a cultivator’s strike . If an attack condensed with spiritual power were to damage it, it will decrease more than half the injury . The sole weak point is that the clay doesn’t offer any additional defensive power against direct attacks . But even so, its value is still no lesser than Auric Essence . ”
Han Li smiled when he heard this and asked, “So it was like that . Senior plans on weaving the Divine Flow Clay into the puppet's body?”
“Isn’t it obvious? When the puppet’s body is fused with Tailstar Silver and Divine Flow Clay, it will require no defensive treasures . There will be hardly anyone in this world that will be able to easily destroy it . ” Monarch Soul Divergence proudly said .
“Then let’s do it . ” Han Li spoke without the slightest hesitation .
“Yes, but for now, let’s set it aside and refine the other puppet parts first . I reckon that we’ll be finished with all the parts in a year . ”
“Alright,” Han Li agreed . With a wave of his sleeve, he swept away all the items in a mist of azure light . Afterwards, he slapped his storage pouch and took out eight jade boxes storing different materials before starting to refine another puppet part .
In the eyes of a cultivator, a year was merely a moment . Apart from Han Li refining the puppet parts during this time, his Six-winged Frost Centipedes had suddenly evolved after consistently taking a Snow Soul Pill every month . After they molted, their bodies grew several times larger, and developed yet another pair of wings . Not only did their speed greatly increase, but they were far more nimble as well .
But after they evolved, the pills were no longer effective . It appeared their next evolution was still far away .
One day, Han Li was inside the hidden chamber with closed eyes and a sparkling silver puppet floated in the air in front of him . His fingers continuously shifted, each of them connected to a different part of the puppet by a golden thread . Slowly revolving a foot above the silver puppet’s head was a bamboo tube that faintly glowed with green light .
After an unknown amount of time, his expression stirred and fingers came to a stop before eventually opening his eyes .
“It appears there are no problems . The puppet has been fused to perfection . It is very surprising that I was able to so smoothly join it together . ” Han Li stared at the puppet in front of him and revealed a trace of joy .
Monarch Soul Divergence’s voice sounded out from the tube . “That puppet is something that I had researched, and with my instructions, there isn’t a single possibility of a mistake . Now that everything else is finished, we can begin the soul fusion . ”
“Will Senior reconsider? This is the first time you’re using this soul division technique . It could greatly influence the possibility of your reincarnation if it goes awry, and will your soul be able to persist after you split it?”
Monarch Soul Divergence softly chuckled and casually said, “I’ve spent most of my life dedicated to the art of puppets . I am perfectly willing for my soul to become one . And even if I don’t use this soul splitting technique, the end of my lifespan will soon approach . I’ve also already given you the remaining layers of the Great Development Technique . I hope you will succeed it and pass it onto a new generation . ”
When Han Li heard this, he tensely frowned and let out a long sigh . “Since Senior has resolved himself, I won’t say any more . I hope for your success . ”
Monarch Soul Divergence now heartily laughed, and a green light suddenly emerged from the bamboo tube, splitting it in half to reveal a small silhouette glowing with golden light .
This small silhouette was a puppet that was several inches tall . It was intricately detailed and made of a material that was neither wood nor gold, modeled after a middle-aged man with a refined appearance .
Green light shined from the eyes of this miniature man and then it sat down cross-legged . As soon as it muttered an incantation, a speck of green light flew out of its mouth and expanded to the size of a fist, then floating back onto the miniature man .
When Han Li saw this, his lips opened but no sound came out .
