Translator: 549690339
After returning to the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden, Lin Yi noticed that more than four days had passed. Zhi Ling, who had been terrified of the Green Giant Python previously, had apparently become fond of it now.
She’d even climbed atop the huge green snake’s head. On seeing Lin Yi return, she put her tiny paws on her hips and assumed an air of superiority and pride.
This unexpected development caused a hint of surprise to appear on Lin Yi’s face. Had Zhi Lings fearful demeanor transformed into a social butterfly’s? He waved at her and called out, “Zhi Ling, come down immediately. How could you be standing on the head of the Senior Spirit Beast?”
Zhi Ling squeaked and then slid down the snake’s back, the Green Giant Python even lowered its head to make the slope of its body more gentle.
After sliding down from the python, Zhi Ling jumped onto Lin Yi. She looked over the moon and showed no signs of her initial terror.
“Thank you for taking care of Zhi Ling for me,” Lin Yi said, bowing to the python. This seemingly cold Green Giant Python, in fact, exhibited warmth and gentleness too.
The Green Giant Python nodded slightly, raising its head in a lordly manner.
Lin Yi smiled and continued, “Senior Spirit Beast, I need to try to enter this
Paper Man. If there’s any danger, I hope you can help me out.”
Saying this, he took out a paper man that was modeled after a fair-skinned young man.
Upon seeing the python nod, he bowed towards the direction of the Cave Mansion out of concern, “Elder Dan God, I hope you can support me from the sidelines.’
Then, he had Zhi Ling stand next to the python. Looking at the Paper Man in his hand, he showed some disdain. After all, it was a handsome face of a notorious Flower Thief.
However, he had no other choices since he didn’t have the necessary materials for making a paper man at the moment.
According to the Secret Technique detailed in the book, successfully making a paper man was not guaranteed. If it failed, it would not only waste materials but might also pose a risk, as that cunning old man would undoubtedly have laid traps within it.
Fortunately, he only needed to inject some Divine Sense into it, not possess it with his Divine Soul. Otherwise, he might indeed have some reservations.
The method to control the Paper Man was also learned from the old book. Judging by the Flower Thief’s successful control, this method should not have any issues.
But speaking of which, the cunning old man’s Divine Soul had been hidden quite deeply in the Paper Man. The Flower Thief disciple hadn’t detected it at all. Both master and disciple coexisted inside a Paper Man, which was indeed quite disgusting.
Ruminating about the fate of the old man’s physical body, Lin Yi considered one possibility – the old man’s Foundation Life Limit had arrived without breaking through to a Golden Core. So, he used a Secret Technique to separate his Divine Soul from the body, enabling it to exist independently in the world.
What followed next was a story of a disciple bringing enemies to kill her master, successfully annihilating his physical body, and hiding his Divine Soul within the Paper Man, waiting for an appropriate chance for spiritual possession.
Usually, only after achieving a Nascent Soul can the Divine Soul be elevated to a Primordial Spirit, which allows it to exist independently in the world.
Immortality of the individual is tied to the existence of the Nascent Soul.
A Foundation Building Cultivator, however, is totally incapable of separating the Divine Soul from the physical body and enabling it to exist independently in the world. To possess someone improperly can only be achieved through some evil methods, like those used by Evil Spirits.
Lin Yi now had some understanding, no wonder the old man was terrified of the Exorcism Charm, his Divine Soul must have morphed into something neither human nor ghost.
It seemed that this old man had many secrets that Lin Yi would unearth bit by bit.
Lin Yi believed that the “Nice Person” title he won previously in the Secret Realm might have a pretty good effect. For every good deed done, he could earn Good Person points, which allow him to earn the trust of others by consuming these points.
The higher the level of the title, the higher the success rate of gaining others’ trust. If the success rate for the Foundation Building Realm reached one hundred percent, the old man might believe everything he said.
Lin Yi collected his thoughts, remained calm, and transmitted a part of his Divine Sense into the Paper Man. Then, he made his Divine Sense circulate within the Paper Man following a specific route mentioned in the book, and finally stationed it at the forehead.
Just then, the Paper Man abruptly opened its eyes. It looked at his hands in confusion before turning to Lin Yi to his side with an expression of joy on its face.
Lin Yi too had a similar expression on his face. He had successfully controlled the Paper Man. It seemed as if another scene had appeared in his mind – a perspective from the eyes of the Paper Man.
Strictly speaking, this Paper Man wasn’t his clone, but more like a Puppet. By infusing his Divine Sense into it, he could control it. If he was engaged in a fight or stuck in dangerous circumstances, with no mental capacity to control the paper man, it would just remain motionless.
The book also mentioned that the distance for controlling the Paper Man couldn’t be too far because Divine Sense was used to control it. If the distance was too great, the connection between Divine Senses would break.
Looking at the scene from the Paper Man’s perspective in his mind and controlling it out of curiosity, Lin Yi had it walk around and wave at Zhi Ling and the Green Giant Python.
Zhi Lings eyes widened, as due to their close connection, she could sense the familiar aura of her master emerging from the Paper Man..
