Chapter 439: Chapter 412 Settling Tianyang’s Wish_2
After bidding farewell to Master Guangyang, Li Fan returned to his room.
After pondering for a while, he gave up his plan to forcefully cultivate the Self-Sublimating Technique.
Like the [Art of Self-Founded Cultivation], this Self-Sublimation was indeed not something an ordinary person could achieve.
Looking at the later fate of the real Tianyang, he also did not choose this path.
“Puppets…”
Recalling the Transforming God Puppet from many years later, Li Fan gradually formed a plan in his mind.
The next day, Li Fan sought out a few of his senior brothers and told them that he wanted a puppet.
“Don’t worry, little junior brother,” second senior brother Ling declared, slapping his chest in assurance. “Lately, my mind is flowing like a spring, and the pen is blooming. I’ve written several books continuously. It’s arguably the peak of my career!” Ling Xiaoxiao said. “I’ll sell them at the market and choose the coolest puppet for you!”
Several days later, Li Fan got his wish, and received a Mechanism Puppet.
Ling Xiao looked pleased with himself “‘Little junior brother, this puppet is said to have the strength of a Golden Core Cultivator. I went to great lengths to buy it from someone!”
“Senior brother, you’re amazing! Thank you, senior brother!” After praising Ling Xiao, Li Fan picked up the puppet and ran off with his heels kicked up high.
“Little Junior Brother’s body is healing better and better every day.” Ling Xiao sighed.
In the secret room.
Li Fan placed the puppet before him and cut open a wound on his hand.
He let the fresh blood drip onto it.
At the same time, he started operating the “Transform into Others Freely” Technique, training and sensing the subtle changes occurring in the puppet.
Li Fan has given up on his plan to transform into himself.
But he hasn’t completely given up.
His plan can actually be regarded as a type of self-transformation under special circumstances.
And it’s even more extreme.
That is to completely abandon his own flesh and completely transform himself into a puppet.
Just like what the real Tianyang in history did.
However, Tianyang later chose to absorb terrestrial flame to temper and improve the puppet.
Li Fan’s answer, on the other hand, was to become a puppet first, and then transform into himself.
Without a doubt, this is a self-destructive behavior.
The gap between the upper limit of a Golden Core Puppet and a human body can’t be calculated.
But for Li Fan, who is eager to desperately increase his combat power, it is the best choice.
Cultivating [Self-Transmutation] with the puppet body, the difficulty dropped significantly.
Firstly, the precision of a puppet is far superior to that of a human body, making it easier to achieve [Unity of Man and Object].
Secondly, there’s no need to worry about injury to himself.
The repair of the puppet is much easier, as long as there are enough materials.
After the completion of the puppet’s [Self-Transmutation] cultivation, the combat power that can be exploded in the state of Unity of Man and Object, is several times stronger than that of a puppet as an [Essence Object].
“The first thing to do is to abandon the body and integrate into the puppet.”
Li Fan operated this method in “Transform into Others Freely”, and it was extremely smooth.
“It should be because the body of Tianyang is premature, and the divine soul and body are not very well coordinated,” Li Fan pondered.
In this way, without telling the others in the Body Transformation Dao, Li Fan began his own cultivation plan.
This plan is so bizarre that even Master Guangyang didn’t notice the changes occurring in his little disciple.
He just thought that he really liked the puppet that Ling laughed and bought for him, and that he almost never left it.
Just like that, time flies.
In the blink of an eye, six years passed.
The Zhua Immortal Bell sounded, and the cultivation recruitment order arrived.
The three brothers of the Body Transformation Dao, argued about who should respond to the recruitment.
At this moment, Li Fan, along with his puppet, suddenly appeared before them.
“Senior Brother Si Xing, Senior Brother Ling Xiao, Senior Brother Lian Chang.”
“I think I should go.”
Ling Xiao and the others were stunned to see the serious look on Li Fan’s face.
“Little Junior Brother, what are you talking about? This isn’t a joke…” Ling Xiao started to speak, but suddenly froze.
Because those words were actually spoken by the puppet following Li Fan.
“Thump! Thump!”
The puppet took a step forward, coming before the three of them.
“Going to war is a matter of life and death. If someone has to go, it should be the strongest among us!”
“Senior brothers, what do you think?”
Li Fan looked at the three senior brothers and asked softly.
“Tianyang! You’re being reckless!” Master Guangyang was the first to realize the changes in Li Fan.
His face turned pale. He wanted to step forward, but seemed to think of something and stopped.
Only the slight trembling of his hand showed the agitation in his heart.
“You…you knew this day would come?”
Master Guangyang stuttered to ask.
Li Fan merely smiled and did not answer.
Looking at his several senior brothers, he said, “Please teach me, senior brothers!”
The three senior brothers finally snapped back to their senses.
Looking at Li Fan, who had turned into a puppet, they had regret and sadness in their eyes.
For a while, they stood still, not knowing what to say.
In the end, the eldest brother was the first to move.
He called out his emerald-green Long Sword, as thin as a cicada’s wing, and pointed at Li Fan.
“Junior brother, actually such a thing should be left to me.”
“What’s the reason for a senior brother to have a junior brother risk his life?!”
Li Fan flashed and came to the eldest brother’s side, swinging his fists.
“Senior brother, you don’t think little of me!”
Feeling the approaching enormous force, Si Xing’s face changed slightly.
The long sword danced in an attempt to block Li Fan.
But the usually indestructible blade, when cutting Li Fan, left no trace.
Not only was this puppet’s body extremely hard,
It’s speed was even slightly faster than normal Golden Core Cultivators.
