Chapter 21
Nalan Yan Ran's Rebirth! Double Rewards!
"Heavenly Demonic Puppet?"
Looking at the three large blood-red characters on the bamboo slip, Jia Xing Tian's eyes also narrowed.
Immediately after, with a hint of doubt in his heart, he slowly opened the bamboo slip.
Instantly, the fine blood-red characters revealed a bloodthirsty aura within, deeply etched into his eyes.
"The Heavenly Demonic Puppet, this technique is neither a cultivation method nor an ordinary Dou Skill, but a type of puppet art passed down from ancient times. To refine a Heavenly Demonic Puppet, three elements are required:
"Body, soul, Magic Core... Using the body as the vessel, the soul as the guide, and the Magic Core as the core, combined with many materials, one ultimately achieves a Demonic Puppet. Demonic Puppets are divided into three grades: Heaven, Earth, and Human. The difference in grade is determined by the refining materials and the refining flame. Their power is immense, yet they feel no sorrow or joy, no pain or harm. They are truly instruments of slaughter!"
His gaze slowly swept over the lines of blood-red characters on the bamboo slip, and the shock on Jia Xing Tian's face grew deeper and deeper.
This type of puppet art was something he had never heard of before.
However, Jia Xing Tian himself was unaware that he, at present, was actually a puppet, and one much stronger than the Heavenly Demonic Puppet recorded on this scroll.
He possessed his own intelligence and thoughts, and could continue to cultivate, which was far beyond even the Ancient Puppet Refining Techniques.
When his gaze left the last line of blood-red characters, Jia Xing Tian also let out a long breath.
If such a Heavenly Demonic Puppet could be refined, he would likely gain a loyal personal guard.
"Congratulations, Elder Jia, congratulations, Elder Jia!"
Looking at Jia Xing Tian's dramatically changing expression, several powerhouses of the Jia Ma Empire congratulated him in unison.
"This thing is good, but it's useless to me. What's there to congratulate!"
Jia Xing Tian shook his head, sighed softly, then put away the bamboo tube. He now understood that the fire-attributed Magic Core from before was also prepared by the Earth Demon Old Ghost for refining this Heavenly Demonic Puppet.
It was a pity that the Earth Demon Old Ghost never got to use it before his death, and now it was to be incorporated into the Jia Ma Empire National Treasury.
"In the coming period, we still have many tasks, and we cannot be careless!"
Jia Xing Tian's gaze swept over the numerous powerhouses in the treasury, speaking very earnestly. The Black Corner Region was incredibly vast. Even now, with the destruction of the Black Alliance, the Black Emperor Sect, and the Demonic Flame Valley, the Jia Ma Empire only occupied about one-fifth of the Black Corner Region's area.
"Yes!"
Hearing Jia Xing Tian, everyone respectfully replied in unison.
At present, they had also learned of the emperor's ambition.
Once the Jia Ma Empire became a superpower, those who had contributed to expanding its territory, like them, would also receive many benefits.
...
"Not bad! At this rate, the Black Corner Region will soon become my territory..."
In the Wind Realm, Shen Feng looked at a larger area added to the Monitoring Compass, feeling very satisfied.
His plan was to bring the entire Northwest Continent under his domain. This way, if any powerhouses entered in the future, he could be forewarned and formulate countermeasures.
"Madam Nalan is about to give birth!"
As Shen Feng sensed the anomaly in the bloodline crystal, an excited cry from the midwife also came from the imperial harem.
Seeing this, Shen Feng instantly disappeared from his original spot, reappearing outside Nalan Yan Ran's room.
"Madam, push harder, it's almost out!"
"Madam, I can already see the head!"
"Wah~ wah~"
Not long after, the clear cry of a newborn baby came from the room.
Everything went smoothly. Nalan Yan Ran barely experienced any pain during childbirth. After giving birth, she was still smiling radiantly, her complexion excellent.
"Husband, it's a girl!"
Nalan Yan Ran, like a gentle mother, held the baby, her eyes filled with tenderness.
"This child, I name her Mi Te Er Jun Lan!"
Shen Feng glanced at the child, smiling as he spoke.
"Very well! Jun Lan!"
Nalan Yan Ran had no objections, holding the child and repeating the name.
Shen Feng, after accompanying Nalan Yan Ran for a while, spoke to the system in his mind: "System, open the gift package!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining two hundred years of lifespan!" [Currently increased by 1800 years!]
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, all individuals recorded on the Myriad Generations Family Register, cultivation speed increased by 2%!" [Currently increased by 18%]
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining two Dou Sheng Star Ascension Pills!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining two small portions of Soul Origin!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20 Bodhi Pills!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining two Soul Restoring Pills!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining twenty thousand Dou Wang Star Ascension Pills!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining two intermediate Experience Pills!"
"Ding! All the above rewards have been fully distributed to the system space. Please check and claim them, host!"
As Shen Feng's soft command fell in his mind, numerous prompts immediately sounded.
Hearing these system prompts, Shen Feng's heart was instantly filled with great joy.
The rewards for these two births were equivalent to the rewards for gaining two more descendants, truly delightful.
Precious resources like the Dou Sheng Star Ascension Pills were awarded two at a time. With these two, Shen Feng had accumulated nine Dou Sheng Star Ascension Pills.
This time, the Soul Restoring Pill seemed to be appearing for the first time, so Shen Feng's attention was naturally entirely focused on it.
It was a pitch-black medicinal pill.
Soul Restoring Pill: Consuming this medicinal pill can fully restore the Soul Origin of any soul below Dou Di. As long as a trace of a remnant soul remains, it can be restored to its peak state.
"As long as a trace of a remnant soul remains, it can be restored to its peak state!"
Looking at this description, Shen Feng was somewhat shaken at this moment.
Although this item was of no use to him, on this Dou Qi Continent, there still existed some remnant souls of former top powerhouses.
For example, the former Yellow Spring Demonic Saint had a trace of a remnant soul residing in the Yellow Spring Stone Stele of the Nine Nether Deep Serpent Clan. This medicinal pill was effective for anyone below Dou Di, meaning that if the Yellow Spring Demonic Saint's remnant soul could obtain a Soul Restoring Pill, he could once again descend into the world.
Of course, with Shen Feng's current abilities, he was completely unable to subdue such a Half-Emperor powerhouse. Therefore, even if he could save him, he would not act. In case that old monster coveted the secrets on his person, it might be more harm than good.
"I'll keep it for now, who knows when I might need it in the future!"
Shaking his head, Shen Feng sorted and stored all the rewards this time.
Just then, Shen Feng's bloodline crystal again showed an anomaly.
"This is... Medusa is about to give birth!"
Sensing this bloodline connection, a trace of excitement couldn't help but appear on Shen Feng's face.
Queen Medusa's pregnancy this time had lasted a full two years.
That enchanting woman with a beautiful face and perfect figure, Shen Feng had not "cultivated" with her for two years, and his heart was itching with unbearable longing.
