Chapter 244: Chapter 125: The Helpless Saintess, Rakshasa Puppet Technique Dominates a Nation_2
When Little Yu King heard this, a trace of guilt appeared in his eyes. After standing silently to one side, he looked at Lin Xuankong with some astonishment. Although Little Yu King had escaped to a distance, he had still witnessed Lin Xuankong suppress the Seventh-stage Brown Bear Demon People with a single palm!
At this moment, looking at the Demon Prison Cage in Lin Xuankong’s hand, he couldn’t help but recall the first time he met Mr. Mu. A Seventh-stage Great Demon hadn’t even been a match for him! To think he had underestimated him so much back then... The guilt in Little Yu King’s eyes became even more pronounced.
He took out a dozen drops of Heavy Water Spiritual Object from his robes and walked over to Lin Xuankong.
"Mr. Mu, earlier I was too reckless! I never imagined your strength would be so formidable, far beyond what I could compare to. Thinking back to that time, I’m truly ashamed!"
Lin Xuankong was also somewhat surprised by these words and couldn’t help but look at Little Yu King.
It’s not without reason that Prince Yu’s Mansion can dominate the Southern Border, he thought to himself. This Little Yu King was previously very arrogant, acting as if he looked down on everyone. But now that he sees I’m stronger than him, he accepts defeat readily! This Little Yu King isn’t an unreasonable person, nor is he the petty type to hold grudges over small matters. He certainly has some magnanimity!
With these thoughts in mind, he didn’t stand on ceremony. He accepted the Heavy Water Spiritual Object and said, "This Heavy Water Spiritual Object was originally mine, so I won’t be courteous. However, Little Yu King, your magnanimity is truly rare. I admire it. If it were me, I might still be concerned about my reputation and wouldn’t yield so easily to others!"
Little Yu King heard this and smiled. "To receive Mr. Mu’s praise, I feel a bit proud again!"
Lin Xuankong couldn’t help but smile gently, thinking to himself: This Little Yu King isn’t too annoying after all.
At this moment, Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er looked at Lin Xuankong and sighed. "Mr. Mu, what kind of Treasure do you want in exchange for your Refining Method? Why don’t you just say it? Ying’Er understands that the Refining Technique’s value is immeasurable... As long as you say it, I will agree to any condition!"
Lin Xuankong, seeing that the timing was about right, recounted the matter of the Flood Dragon Puppet in Prison Dragon City. Then he said, "I am very interested in this puppet Refining Secret Technique. If possible, we could make an exchange!"
"Mr. Mu wants to learn the Spirit Puppet Technique?" Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er’s expression changed.
"He wants to learn the Spirit Puppet Technique?" Little Yu King’s expression also changed beside her.
Lin Xuankong saw their reactions and couldn’t help but frown.
Why do the Third Princess and Little Yu King have such expressions? he wondered. The Spirit Puppet Technique, capable of refining even a Late Ninth Tier Flood Dragon demon into a puppet, must be extremely precious. Perhaps it’s an absolutely non-transmissible Secret Technique of the Great Xia Xiao Family?
While Lin Xuankong was pondering this, Little Yu King couldn’t help but speak up. "The Spirit Puppet Technique is easy to learn but hard to master. It’s an extremely special Secret Technique. If an ordinary Martial Cultivator uses this Secret Technique, problems are very likely to arise.
My father once learned the Spirit Puppet Technique from Emperor Xiao of Great Xia and even taught this Secret Technique to several of my uncles! Consequently, of my four uncles who were at the Seventh Layer of Cultivation, two died because they used this Secret Technique!
Mr. Mu, although your strength is great... this Secret Technique is extremely dangerous. If it’s not absolutely necessary, even if one learns it, few would dare to use it casually!"
Lin Xuankong was somewhat surprised. "This Secret Technique can even backfire on the practitioner?"
Xiaoo Ying’Er added, "It does indeed backfire on the practitioner. Back when my grandfather set up the Grand Array in Prison Dragon City to refine that Tier Nine Flood Dragon, a Mid-Ninth Layer powerhouse perished in the process! Later, it was my grandfather who had to risk performing the Spirit Puppet Technique himself to finally succeed in the Refining!"
A Mid-Ninth Layer powerhouse perished just from using the Spirit Puppet Technique?
Hearing this, Lin Xuankong’s heart couldn’t help but tighten.
There aren’t many Ninth Layer powerhouses in the entire Great Xia Dynasty. A casual blow from such an expert would probably obliterate me, turning me into Lin Sikong! Even such terrifying powerhouses can’t withstand the backlash from the Spirit Puppet Technique?
Xiaoo Ying’Er continued, "This Secret Technique was passed down from the Formless Buddhism Sect of the Rakshasa Kingdom. My ancestor learned it after becoming a Lay Disciple of the Formless Buddhism Sect during his travels in the Rakshasa Kingdom.
This Third Spirit Puppet Technique is the only one among the Formless Buddhism Sect’s eight Puppet Techniques that a Lay Disciple can cultivate. It’s not a core Secret Technique of the Sect, so it has the drawback of backfiring on the practitioner. If it were one of the Formless Buddhism Sect’s core Puppet Techniques, that wouldn’t happen!"
Speaking with some emotion, she continued, "The Formless Buddhism Sect of the Rakshasa Kingdom, relying on Buddhist Puppetry, refined a full eighty-one Late Ninth Tier Flood Dragon demons, known as the Eighty-One Celestial Dragon Guardians.
Setting aside the other powerhouses of the Formless Buddhism Sect, these Eighty-One Celestial Dragon Guardians alone established the Formless Buddhism Sect as the unparalleled number one Sect in the Rakshasa Kingdom, one that no one could oppose!
Even the Six Great Demon Sects of the Rakshasa Kingdom couldn’t contend with the Formless Buddhism Sect and were forced to unite just to secure a precarious foothold!
Furthermore, even the Rakshasa Monarch must obey the commands of the Formless Buddhism Sect’s Buddha Son, not daring to defy them!
The Formless Buddhism Sect’s Buddhist Puppetry is hailed as the foremost Secret Technique in the Rakshasa Kingdom. However, my ancestor was unwilling to become a monk. As a Lay Disciple, he could only learn the Third Spirit Puppet Technique. This particular technique doesn’t imbue the puppets with Buddhist Technique blessings and, crucially, carries the risk of backlash!"
Hearing this, Lin Xuankong couldn’t help but be filled with yearning.
The Formless Buddhism Sect, using the Spirit Puppet Technique, refined eighty-one Late Ninth Tier Flood Dragon Puppets! Known as the Eighty-One Celestial Dragon Guardians, they suppressed the Rakshasa Kingdom’s Six Great Demon Sects, and even the Rakshasa Monarch, ruler of a kingdom stronger than Great Xia, had to obey their commands... So incredibly strong!
