Wang Weijun said, “Save it, there’s no need to increase the power of the formation. The substitute puppet is very powerful. Even a high-level cultivator in the Mahayana stage can’t do anything about it. Your Green Wood Formation is impossible to shake. It’s a pity, such a waste to use it on this little guy!”
The Mantra Banner inside Mi Xiaojing’s body kept vibrating. Then, a chain composed of true mantras formed and extended from Mi Xiaojing’s arm. At this moment, Mi Xiaojing sensed that something was wrong, and Wang Weijun noticed it too.
“Little guy, what are you doing?”
“I don’t know!”
Mi Xiaojing said inexplicably, and then his arm automatically lifted up, completely out of his control. The extremely fine true mantra chain shot out like an arrow, instantly entangling the substitute puppet.
The activation of the substitute puppet was originally fast, but in Hong Qing’s hands, it slowed down because he was not an Evolutionary Immortality cultivator.
Moreover, because the puppet had been forcibly modified, the speed of activation became even slower. Until now, it still hadn’t completed the activation. However, Hong Qing was not in a hurry because once the puppet started to activate, it would automatically protect the person activating it until the activation was complete.
The true mantra chain that extended from Mi Xiaojing’s body quickly entangled the substitute puppet, like a snake coiling around it. The speed was so fast that it reached its limit, and the true mantra chain directly pierced into the puppet.
Hong Qing also saw this change and widened his eyes in astonishment, not knowing what was happening.
The tip of the true mantra chain had already pierced in, and Hong Qing was astonished as he suddenly realized that his incantations and magical techniques were experiencing a delay. This was not a good thing. If he couldn’t complete the activation of the puppet, he would be in real trouble.
Hong Qing had already taken several healing spirit pills, but his injuries were still severe. The impact of the Green Wood Formation was extraordinary. It had almost shattered all the bones in his body and affected his internal organs as well. That was why he was spitting blood mouthful by mouthful. At this moment, his combat power was so weak that even Mi Xiaojing, let alone a Qi Refining cultivator at the Great Perfection stage, would not be able to withstand it.
At this point, Hong Qing was already extremely vulnerable. Even if he escaped, he would still have to worry about Mi Xiaojing’s pursuit.
He stared fixedly at the true mantra chains, which were impossible to see clearly, but after they formed into chains, they became golden threads that emitted a brilliant golden light under the reflection of the Green Wood Formation.
Hong Qing was shocked and terrified. What was this thing? He was truly afraid of Mi Xiaojing. How could he possess so many treasures?
Mi Xiaojing was completely stunned. The Green Wood Formation was still instinctively operating and consuming a large amount of his spirit stones, but he couldn’t move at all now. He could only watch the puppet.
In just a dozen breaths of time, the true mantra chains formed by the true mantras completely wrapped around the puppet. The whole puppet was shining with golden light, and Hong Qing couldn’t see anything outside anymore. All he could see was the golden light, which made his eyes squint.
Wang Weijun was also completely dumbfounded. He knew that this was the doing of the Mantra Banner, but he didn’t know why the Mantra Banner would behave like this. It could actually activate on its own, and once it did, he realized it was not good. His Elemental Infant was rapidly deteriorating, which meant that the Mantra Banner was absorbing his energy.
You should know that Wang Weijun had been diligently cultivating, and it was not easy for him to recover. He had finally made some progress, but now the Mantra Banner had reverted him back to his original state. He was so scared that he kept trembling.
Actually, Wang Weijun was not so much scared as he was angry. He was really furious. The Mantra Banner was truly abnormal. He had always thought that as long as his own strength grew stronger again, he would have a chance to break free from the control of the Mantra Banner. He never expected it to be like this. He was filled with frustration, disappointment, and anger. He was completely at a loss. He had been talking confidently just now, but now he didn’t say a word.
Mi Xiaojing didn’t know about all these changes. The only thing he knew was that a large amount of information was being transmitted back from the extremely fine true mantra chains, directly flooding his mind.
Due to the enormous amount of information, Mi Xiaojing was completely overwhelmed and dizzy.
It felt like communication. This time only lasted a few seconds, but it completely made Mi Xiaojing dizzy. There were stars dancing before his eyes, even more than when he practiced the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art.
Suddenly, Hong Qing’s vision cleared, and all the flickering golden light disappeared. His magical techniques and incantations began to flow smoothly, instantly boosting his spirits. He laughed heartily and said, “Kid… I’m leaving. Wait for my revenge!”
In an instant, the puppet exploded, and countless true mantras burst out, shaking the entire Green Wood Formation.
Mi Xiaojing couldn’t see Hong Qing anymore. He knew that this guy had already left the formation. It was magical that he seemed to understand how the puppet had done it.
What’s going on?
Mi Xiaojing was confused. Why did he know all this?
Wang Weijun was completely dumbfounded. He was even worse off than Hong Qing. His Elemental Infant was on the verge of collapse, and he couldn’t say anything or do anything. It was as if he would completely collapse with the slightest movement. This feeling was driving him crazy.
Mi Xiaojing couldn’t bear the consumption of spirit stones, so even though his head was spinning, he still performed a technique. The entire formation immediately began to calm down, and the green wood disappeared suddenly.
Mi Xiaojing couldn’t stand anymore and sat down on his buttocks.
There was no way. Mi Xiaojing needed to resolve this impact, so he began to recite the true mantras.A few minutes later, Mi Xiaojing finally regained his clarity. The dizziness was extremely uncomfortable, and even Mi Xiaojing didn’t want to experience it again. However, after his mind cleared, Mi Xiaojing found something extra in his mind: “Strange, what’s wrong?” He began to ponder.
He then discovered that there was a tiny dot on his Heart Tower. Since the Heart Tower would sink into his Dan Tian when he was cultivating, his Divine Sense also sank into the Dan Tian to check. A tiny puppet appeared on the Heart Tower, its appearance was very peculiar, exactly the same as Mi Xiaojing’s current posture, sitting cross-legged.
The puppet was made up of True Words. As Mi Xiaojing’s Divine Sense approached, he realized that the puppet’s appearance was his own, except it was golden, as if it had been coated with a thick layer of gold powder. If one looked closely, they could see the golden True Word Spirit Scripts, each tiny True Word Spirit Script forming this strange puppet.
Mi Xiaojing was puzzled in his heart, had he copied a death-substitute puppet?
After pondering for a moment, Mi Xiaojing suddenly woke up, realizing this was definitely not a place to stay for long. He immediately got up, took out a box, and cast a magical technique. Instantly, seven green shadows flew back and landed in the opened box.
