Poison God's Heritage

Chapter 758: Remote Control

The Qi I accumulated inside me was pretty much enough to bloat a man to the point of exploding. Still, it was rapidly and hastily circulated and organized, not into my meridians and Dantian, but all around and between the tattoos on my body.

The Primordial Serpent God has taken the initiative in harnessing the Qi and spread it all over my body transforming a majority of it into my own Qi and aiding me in my own cultivation.

My stagnant Void Stage level of cultivation that couldn't go up no matter how many how many pills and herbs I ate and consumed has already broken through the first layer and is already almost at the peak of the Void Stage second layer.

However, I cannot do this here, I'll completely destabilize the Lord of Lord's pagoda's inner Qi workings.

"Congratulations on reaching Void Stage second layer. This means that the small experiment had worked," the Blue Sun said.

"What is this supposed to do?" I asked.

"You cultivation I've never seen something like this before, you recreated your own meridians and built a new set of them that allowed you to ignore the heavenly order. Though it indeed did help you reach where you are, man makes it and no the heavens, it is incomplete," she said.

"Then, how does the Primordial Serpent God complete it?" I asked.

"She does not," the Blue Sun said, "If she did it would revert everything you did. But she adds to it. She covers where you're lacking. Though you still can consume spiritual poisons and herbs to go up in rank, you can now use the body of the Primordial Serpent God to harness the worldly Qi like every other cultivator.

Both your abilities will now complement each other as she can use your own cultivation further to improve her understanding of her own poison Dao. Not only that, she will also grant you one of her abilities, try and focus your Qi into your eyes," the Blue Sun said.

The moment I did so, the Blue Sun's figure became more… visible. I mean the robes on her were suddenly no longer there.

The Blue Sun realized it immediately and a slightly angry expression appeared on her face as she turned my head away, "Not at me you fool. If it was anyone else their head would have rolled!" she said.

"I apologize, I really didn't mean any harm," I said.

She sighed and said, "This is the Primordial Serpent Sight. She can use it to see through all illusions and fakery, into one's own body. You can use it to not only diagnose one's body but also figure out their next move, based on how their muscles and how their Qi would move. Here, she said as she showed me only her arm, what do you see?"

My eyes shivered as they focused on her arm, Qi was moving slowly at first enough for no one to realize anything, her muscles slightly contracted and I had a feeling that her fingers were about to move. And they did immediately after.

"Do you understand?" she asked.

"I can see how blood is being pumped and how Qi is being controlled to recognize the next path or next move of anyone…" I said.

"Indeed, this is basically the first stage, once you improve it further, it will almost go into the range of future sight, although not as powerful, it will make anyone who tries to fight against you feel like they're moving in slow motion. This is but one of the many secrets that the Primordial Serpent God has.

If you want to learn more, you'll need to talk to the expert in the Primordial Beings," she said.

"The Dusking Sun?" I asked.

The Blue Sun nodded, "And since he thinks favorably of you, you'll really learn a lot. I'll even notify him. For now, we'll need to continue our research. You said that you can enter the bastion?" she asked.

"I can," I said as I summoned Shen Mo's body.

Which caught the Blue Sun's attention immediately.

"Interesting Avatar, but it is far too low leveled for us to use, it is barely at the level where it can sustain the Qi at the first area of the Thunder Domain," she said.

"Oh, this isn't for that. As I have said before, we won't even be taking a step into the Bastion. It'll be too tough to explain, let me just show you." I said as I sat the Avatar down and split my focus in two.

Difficult but manageable.

Once both I and Shen Mo's bodies were operating separately, I sat him down and moved my main body back at the white training space.

Back in Shen Mo's body I said, "Now, that the Min Body is out training, we'll start with entering the Bastion, can you please wear these on your heads? I said as I handed Tao Yang and the Blue Sun a helmet each.

We all wore the helmets and I said, "Please don't fight back, relax and let the helmet take your consciousness to the Bastion. It will allow us to control the Puppets I left inside the bastion. And we can use them to navigate the Bastion without worry or harm.

"Really?" the Blue Sun asked.

"Yes, I have been trying to finalize this project for the longest time. Although it is incomplete, it is still a great way to control and organize all sorts of troops under one's control directly if need be." I said.

The Blue Sun smiled, "I suppose this is how you'll invade the Sea of Demons?"

"Something along those lines, now relax please," I said as I pressed a button on the side of the helmet.

My vision immediately swam and morphed and I was back in a darkened place.

Looking around us, there was nothing but destruction and debris everywhere. The visual was slightly below optimal. But it was enough to see all around us.

I looked around and there were more than a thousand puppets standing still. Some of them had a lot of damage on them, but the majority were in perfect operating condition.

I had a sword and shield, so I was currently controlling a vanguard puppet. They are slightly slow but they have a high durability and are able to fight against brutes on equal terms if controlled properly.

"What is this?" one of the puppets asked. It was a Gunner puppet. With several fire arms strapped to its side. It also had a large twelve-chamber rocket launcher on its back. This was the Tao Yang from the voice.

"I suppose you already know, you're a gunner puppet, you can use all the weapons you're carrying however you see fit. But remember, your ammunition is limited so try not to waste more than you need," I said.

"Impressive," the Blue Sun said who was right next to us. It was the lightest form of puppets, the Sniper. It was fast and agile and held incredible firepower with the sniper it had. The only issue was its durability, even a white Rakshasa would be able to rip it apart if it caught it.

I explained how both their class works and how I'll be their shield. They agreed, and Tao Yang was the one who would be guiding us through the bastion as she was our scout.

"We'll need to collect some ammo, grab as many as you need, and place them in the puppet's side bag. The other puppets will remain here as our reserve lives," I said.

"What do you mean?" Tao Yang asked.

"We're going to do an undercover operation, there is a high risk of discovery and death, and if one of our puppets is terminated, instead of us returning back to the pagoda, it will transfer our consciousness back into another puppet of these ones. So, we can resume discovery."

"What are the risks?" the Blue Sun asked.

"Risks? Nothing more than bent and broken steel, it poses zero risk to us what so ever. Also all the damage taken will only be suffered by the puppets. As for our souls and mind they're well protected and saved from this," I said.

"This is an incredible invention… I can see how this can renovate cultivation in its entirety," the Blue Sun said.

"I know, I already thought on how to monetize this, to make puppets fight against each other to solve issues instead of cultivators using their own lives to solve grudges, not to mention tournaments and many more, but we'll think of that once we're done with our mission," I said as I took a step forward.

"I suppose I don't need to teach you how to use your weapons?" I asked.

"I already saw it used once, that is all I need," The Blue Sun said as she moved her puppet alongside me with incredible grace.

Tao Yang wasn't any slower as she was moving with us looking back and forward.

"This is… fun," she said.

"You haven't seen the fun part yet," I smiled.

"There is more?" The Blue Sun asked.

"Yes, say, Status Screen," (hehe I couldn't help it)

The Blue Sun and Tao Yang both did so. And a blue screen appeared in front of their eyes.

[Status Screen] .net

Vanguard Puppet.

Current Health: 100%

Current Shield: 100%

Right Arm weapon Durability 96%

Left Arm Shield Durability 99%

Current Energy: 94%

"Whoa, what is this?" asked the Blue Sun.

"That will help you keep track of the damage that occurred on your puppet and how your weapons are faring, the reason I asked you to stockpile on weapons from the nonfunctional puppets is so that you can use whatever is damaged as either spare parts, ammunition or as material to recover energy. Now, let's keep going! For the Legion!"

"What Legion?" the Blue Sun asked.

"Hah, don't worry about it, I just felt like saying that, let's go now!"
