Chapter 382: #382 - Chapter 382: Magical Secret Technique "Substitute Puppet"

As long as he skillfully manipulates the ancient treasures, his strength will immediately increase considerably. Zhang Ling has already roughly tested the power of these magical items, and they are not ordinary treasures.

Activating the purple bell can release wind blade attacks, and it also has another function: emitting sonic attacks. When this sound wave enters the ears, it can cause the body's spiritual power to stagnate, creating a strong interference effect.

The wind blade attack is acceptable, but Zhang Ling values the sound wave that interferes with the cultivator. If used well, it might be able to eliminate the enemy with a single blow.

Although the gray stone ball is not an ancient treasure, it is as hard as a stubborn rock. When fully activated, it can transform into a giant rock with a diameter of five or six zhang. In terms of attack power, it is more than half as strong as the flying swords he re-refined.

Although this treasure's power is impressive, treasures like this stubborn rock and large seal have a common flaw: they consume a lot of spiritual power to control, and their speed is not very fast. Without means to trap the enemy, they can easily be dodged by high-level cultivators.

As for this black stone mirror, it is also an ancient treasure, but Zhang Ling felt that the stone mirror was somewhat special after experimenting with it.

Usually, injecting spiritual power has no effect, but every once in a while, the stone mirror will turn into a translucent state, looking like it is made of some kind of black jade.

Once the stone mirror has completely turned translucent, injecting spiritual power will release mirror light phantoms. A total of eight translucent black light mirrors can be released.

Then, the stone mirror will shoot out a black lightning bolt that bounces continuously off the eight black light mirrors, increasing its power with each bounce. This forms black lightning bolts within the area covered by the black light mirrors to attack the enemy.

If the enemy can be trapped within the mirror light, the power of this treasure will be even greater.

Zhang Ling was initially unsure of the power of the black lightning emitted from the stone mirror, but after experimenting, he found that it had a strong corrosive effect once it hit the enemy, making it difficult to fully defend against even with magical treasures.

As for what kind of divine power this black lightning was, after searching through ancient books, he actually found some clues. It seemed to be the Water Geng Divine Lightning, one of the Five Elements Divine Lightning.

Water Geng Divine Lightning belongs to Yin Sha Lightning and is a rare divine power. The characteristic of this divine lightning is that it can quickly corrode a cultivator's spiritual power.

Moreover, this ancient treasure seems to be incomplete. Why do I say that? Actually, Zhang Ling is not sure. Because in the jade slip he just read, that cultivator surnamed Xiao mentioned this treasure many times.

This stone mirror was obtained by this person from the Heavenly Abyss Secret Realm and seems to be a treasure left behind by an ancient sect. According to this person's speculation, this stone mirror may not be complete and there seem to be several other stone mirrors that can cooperate with each other to release even more powerful attacks.

Zhang Ling sighed with emotion, it seems to be some kind of complete set of ancient treasures.

He couldn't help but shake his head, not knowing if what the cultivator surnamed Xiao recorded was true or false.

Looking at the treasures in front of him, Zhang Ling flipped his hand, and a purple ball appeared in his hand. He squeezed it, and the ball deformed.

This ball looks like some kind of jade, but it feels extremely soft when squeezed.

Spiritual power was injected into it and the purple ball flashed, several identical purple balls appeared. Suddenly, one of the purple balls opened up with a whoosh, turning into a huge purple net.

This is an enemy-trapping magic weapon, snatched from that thin, tall man. He thought this treasure was good, so he refined it himself and kept it for his own use. If used well, once it traps the enemy, it will create an opportunity for him to eliminate the enemy with one blow.

Then, Zhang Ling put away these treasures. As long as he is skilled in using them, he can at least double his strength in battle.

Next, a yellow book appeared in his hand. This book looked quite dilapidated, and the cover was missing. But the content inside was basically complete. This is a wood-attribute demonic cultivation technique, which seems to be the main cultivation technique of the cultivator surnamed Xiao.

This person was able to cultivate to the late stage of the Golden Core realm, had many treasures, and had been to the Heavenly Abyss Secret Realm, so his strength must not be that of an ordinary cultivator.

Zhang Ling also became interested in this cultivation technique and began to study it.

Originally, he only wanted to take a quick look, but he didn't expect that his mind would be immersed in it, and several days passed in a flash.

This cultivation technique is indeed a top-level demonic cultivation technique, with several powerful demonic powers inside. Although most of them cannot be cultivated, Zhang Ling still gained some knowledge.

After studying this cultivation technique, he became very interested in one of the secret techniques. This secret technique is called 'Calamity Substitute Puppet', which allows cultivators to condense a puppet clone in their body to resist fatal injuries.

The principle is to use a spiritual power clone attached to their natal weapon to resist one attack. This secret technique is quite troublesome to cultivate, but once successfully cultivated, it is equivalent to having an extra life.

Seeing the introduction of this secret technique, Zhang Ling immediately decided to cultivate this secret technique.

Zhang Ling had seen this secret technique in some ancient books. It is a very profound demonic cultivation technique, and ordinary cultivation techniques do not record it. He didn't expect to obtain it unintentionally.

You must know that the cultivation world is full of dangers, and when fighting with others, no one can guarantee that they will win, especially when encountering cultivators with higher cultivation levels than themselves, they often face death without life.

Just like the nameless Nascent Soul cultivator he encountered on Waterlight Island not long ago, if he hadn't been lucky enough to hide in the Two Forms Gourd and deceive the heavens to escape with his life, he would have died long ago.

With this secret technique, Zhang Ling would naturally not let it go. Then he spent a few days studying this technique. When he was almost done studying it, he closed the cave and began to cultivate this secret technique.

...

Inside the cultivation quiet room, Zhang Ling sat cross-legged, and bright yellow spiritual light rose from his body. As the hand seals changed continuously, the spiritual light on his body became stronger and weaker.

From the outside, it seemed that he was just sitting in meditation and cultivation, but at this moment, the golden core in his dantian was shaking rapidly, releasing streams of pure spiritual power.

With a thought, this spiritual power became more pure as he cast the spell, turning into golden lines that quickly intertwined.

This scene lasted for an unknown amount of time. Zhang Ling suddenly opened his eyes, the incantation in his mouth continued, and the hand seals changed even more.

At the same time, the spiritual light on his body seemed to be drawn away by something, instantly rising sharply and then all gathering in front of him, turning into a golden human-shaped phantom.

Although the face of the phantom was blurry, the body shape was exactly the same as Zhang Ling's.

Seeing this, Zhang Ling quickly spat out several balls of essence blood and submerged them into the phantom's body. Immediately, the phantom solidified.

Due to the contamination of the essence blood, the phantom was also dyed blood red.

Zhang Ling's face also turned pale. Now, at the critical moment of casting the spell, he naturally could not stop. As he urged his mana, another layer of condensed yellow spiritual light appeared on his body.

All of this spiritual light flowed into his hands, forming mysterious yellow runes that submerged into the phantom.
