The Mortal's Path to Immortality

While Cao Rui was practicing puppetry, a bold idea suddenly popped up in his mind: "I wonder if the magical power of the Jindan stage of the Shenyuan Jue can be integrated into the puppetry?"

As soon as this idea appeared, it spread in his mind like weeds.

Shenyuan Jue Jindan stage magical power, Cao Rui has started to practice it since he was promoted to the Jindan stage.

After a period of hard work, he has now reached a state of perfection.

This magical power has a nice name-seed magic.

It allows the practitioner to plant a divine consciousness seed in his soul.

This divine consciousness seed can not only explode at a critical moment and directly kill the person being cast, but also, in special circumstances, use the divine consciousness seed as a trigger, and forcibly control the other party's body and even consciousness when his own divine consciousness far exceeds that of the person being cast.

However, this magical power is not without cost, and each time it is cast, a part of the divine consciousness will be permanently consumed.

For this reason, Cao Rui has not really used this magical power yet.

No one is worthy of Cao Rui's use of this magic to control the other party.

"If I can integrate the puppet technique, I will save a lot of effort in refining the puppet's life."

"Directly grab his soul and enter the puppet, and then use this magic to control his soul..."

While thinking, suddenly a powerful divine sense came into Cao Rui's mind.

This divine sense came from Bai Qianhe, who told Cao Rui that he could go to him to receive the reward.

"So fast? In just two days, you have found the treasure I need?"

Cao Rui couldn't help but sigh: "The efficiency of the Demon-Slaying Alliance is really high!"

After speaking, Cao Rui immediately performed the escape technique and turned into a stream of light and flew out of the 68th floor.

Not long after, he came to the meeting hall.

At this moment, Bai Qianhe was the only one in the meeting room. He was concentrating on staring at the round mirror in front of him, as if he was thinking about something.

When Cao Rui entered the meeting room, Bai Qianhe turned around and looked at him.

"Here."

"This is one of your spiritual treasures, the Spring Fairy Vine, which is a top treasure that can amplify wood spiritual roots."

"It was just sent from the Alliance Treasury."

As he spoke, Bai Qianhe patted his storage bag, and a piece of Spring Fairy Vine with a restrained spiritual light appeared in his hand.

He waved his hand, and the Spring Fairy Vine floated towards Cao Rui.

Cao Rui took the Spring Fairy Vine and bowed to Bai Qianhe: "Thank you, Commander Bai!"

"You're welcome. This thing is in the Alliance Treasury anyway. If it falls into your hands, it will be a good thing to help you kill more demons." Bai Qianhe said.

"Refine this well. I hope you can join the raid in a few days."

"As for the other two kinds of spiritual treasures, I have asked the alliance treasury to help keep an eye on them. There is news about the spiritual treasure that reduces spiritual roots. It should be sent here soon."

Cao Rui bowed his hands and thanked him, then left with the Spring Immortal Vine.

Returning to the 68th floor of the First Army War Pagoda, Cao Rui temporarily stopped practicing the Heavenly Secret Puppetry Technique.

He turned to use the Spring Immortal Vine to improve his wood spiritual roots.

Cao Rui closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, mobilized the mana of his whole body, and slowly injected it into the Spring Immortal Vine in his hand.

As his mana penetrated into it, the Spring Immortal Vine began to emit a faint green light, as if it was activated.

Cao Rui could feel a strong vitality and spiritual power gushing out of the Spring Immortal Vine, flowing into his body continuously.

His body was gradually enveloped by green light, and the surrounding wood spirit energy became extremely active, gathering towards him.

Cao Rui's soul was perceiving all this keenly, and he could clearly feel that the wood spiritual root in his body was changing.

Although the spiritual root was an invisible thing and Cao Rui could not see it directly, he could judge the level to which his spiritual root had been upgraded by the attraction of his body to the surrounding wood spiritual energy.

He found that his affinity for wood spiritual energy was significantly enhanced, and the absorption speed was greatly accelerated. This meant that his wood spiritual root had been further improved.

As time went by, Cao Rui's body was completely immersed in the green light.

He could feel that his body was full of vitality and vigor, and every cell was cheering.

When another trace of the spiritual power of the Spring Fairy Vine was refined and absorbed by Cao Rui!

"It's now!"

Cao Rui suddenly stopped refining the Spring Fairy Vine!

Cao Rui's wood spiritual root was actually very close to balance.

This section of the Spring Immortal Vine only consumed about one-tenth of it to successfully balance the wood spiritual root!

At this time, Cao Rui's gold spiritual root, earth spiritual root, wood spiritual root, and all spiritual roots have reached a balanced state!

Cao Rui clearly felt that the speed at which his body absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had increased several times.

Now Cao Rui's spiritual root talent is almost the same as that of a cultivator with a strong spiritual root.

It is also easier to control the mana in the body for invisible transformation.

"The power of the Great Five Elements Sword Formation, the Five Elements Body Refining Technique, the Five Elements Rotation Formation, and the Five Elements Escape Technique must also be strengthened."

"One day, when the five elements of innate spiritual roots are gathered, you will have the same terrifying combat power as Senior Long... Golden Pill Destroys Yuanying!"

Cao Rui put away the remaining Spring Immortal Vine.

Began to continue practicing puppetry.

A few days later.

Cao Rui received Bai Qianhe's message, and the members of the assault team gathered in the meeting room, ready to set off.

Rays of light flew out from the various floors of the war pagoda and quickly gathered in the meeting room.

Cao Rui landed in the meeting room, and a figure passed by and stood beside Cao Rui.

It was Young Master Yunxiao, who was also selected as a member of the raiding team.

Bai Qianhe stood tall, and his eyes swept over the ten most powerful Jindan stage figures he selected.

"This raid is to find out the details of the demon clan."

"Come on, if possible, we will severely damage the foundation of the demon clan."

"I have communicated with the rest of the army in advance, and they will assist in the defense of our first army area during our raid."

"This time, we can do it boldly! Don't worry about the rear!"

"If we can solve the demon clan issue in one fell swoop, it will be the best..."

"Then, let's go."

Bai Qianhe flew away.

Cao Rui and the other ten Jindan set up the escape light and followed.

In the meeting room, the two deputy commanders and the remaining Jindan-stage cultivators quietly watched the assault team.

Soon, a group of eleven people rushed to the edge of the natural chasm.

All the cultivators dispersed their magic power, gathered their magic power by their own means, and rushed towards the depths of the natural chasm.

This section is the shortest section of the Hongqing natural chasm that the demons are looking for.

But the shortest is relative to the demons.

This is the first time that the Hongzhou cultivators have tried to cross this long dead zone.

Ten days later, Cao Rui and his group have reached the previously divided ‘frontier hunting zone’.

But walking through this area is only one-tenth of the distance of this natural chasm.
