After Ming Ya left, Ming Zhi Tian finally recovered from the awkward atmosphere and smiled at Chen Bu Qi, "Mother, stay and live with us."
Chen Bu Qi said, "Your father was also worried about you, which is why his tone was a little harsh. Don't hold it against him."
Ming Zhi Tian shook his head, "Mother, let's not talk about him."
Chen Bu Qi sighed softly, "Alright, Mother will stay by your side until you are willing to forgive him. Otherwise, neither of us will go back."
Ming Zhi Tian couldn't help but smile, "Xue Er, my wife, prepare dinner."
"Yes," Yan Li Xue responded and immediately got busy.
Ming Zhi Tian said, "Mother, I also need to seize the time to cultivate. You see..."
Chen Bu Qi complained a little, "You're in such a hurry to leave just after meeting Mother..."
Ming Zhi Tian was also helpless, "I'm sorry, Mother, I have things to do and must become stronger quickly."
Chen Bu Qi understood a little and felt he was very much like Ming Ya. She patted his shoulder, "Go ahead. Whatever decision you make, Mother will always stand by you."
Ming Zhi Tian nodded, "Then I'm going."
Chen Bu Qi said, "Yes, Tian'er, go after dinner."
Ming Zhi Tian waved his hand, "There's no time to waste."
Chen Bu Qi could only watch her son's retreating back and shake her head silently, "He's becoming more and more like Ming Ya when he was little."
...
Ming Zhi Tian returned to the back mountain with Mo Li Shen Zun, and Piao Ling'er also followed.
Ming Zhi Tian immediately began to assemble the empty frames of the puppets from his storage bag and the mechanical equipment from Mo Li Shen Zun's storage bag.
More than half a day passed, and it was late at night. Ming Zhi Tian was still working hard.
After a night, Ming Zhi Tian had actually created thousands of puppets at the Awakening Realm and the first level of the Shen Luo Realm!
Mo Li Shen Zun nodded with slight satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad, little fellow. In just one night, you've achieved this. You truly are a descendant of a master craftsman."
"These mechanical puppets can be used to train your martial arts cultivation, and they can help you improve to around the sixth or seventh level of the Awakening Realm."
Ming Zhi Tian was stunned, "Only advanced by a few small realms? Didn't you say there was a way for me to break through quickly? What's the point of just advancing?"
Mo Li Shen Zun frowned, "You should have met me earlier. If that were the case, your current strength would be at least above the Divine Might Realm, not the Awakening Realm. You're not even considered a mere Great Power."
Ming Zhi Tian couldn't help but sigh, "Is it too late now?"
Mo Li Shen Zun shook his head, "Of course not. With my method of cultivation, it won't be difficult to break through to the Divine Might Realm in three to five years."
Ming Zhi Tian was stunned, "Three to five years? That's too long, in my opinion."
He then thought carefully, "Mo Li, is there a faster way for me to break through to the first level of the Shen Luo Realm?"
Mo Li Shen Zun nodded and shook his head, "There is, but it's too damaging to the body. Your physical body can't withstand it."
Ming Zhi Tian immediately summoned a saber and handed it to Mo Li Shen Zun, "Here."
Mo Li Shen Zun was confused, "What for?"
Ming Zhi Tian smiled slightly, "Cut me once."
Mo Li Shen Zun, not understanding, took the sharp saber, "What exactly are you up to, you little fellow?"
Ming Zhi Tian pulled up his clothes, revealing his fair skin, "Come on, you won't die."
Mo Li Shen Zun casually swung his saber, almost splitting Ming Zhi Tian in half.
Diamond-like blood seeped from the wound on Ming Zhi Tian's chest. The fiery wound, mixed with diamond blood, felt like flowing diamond solution. The embrace of the rock fire made it seem both precious and peculiar.
