Chapter 498: Puppets & Looking for a guide
While the strength and power he possessed with his disciple army, and the ladies weren't low, and they had terrific potential, he needed to boost their power in the short run.
From now on, he wouldn't be dealing only with Soul Formation Powerhouses and below, no he would be facing cultivators even more terrifying than that.
For that reason, he needed something that could fight against them, push them back, or even just block them in a fight.
These 13 corpses were the guys that had been beside him when Heaven's Rage hit, or those guys' properties that he had been able to rescue them with their cultivations intact.
As a matter of fact, 5 of them were the cultivators from Earth, and the 8 others were the puppets of the 5 Soul Land experts.
Apparently, 3 of the experts from Soul Land, had more than one puppet on Boundary Ascension Realm and above.
To be more exact, amidst the 13 puppets, there were four 1st level Boundary Ascension Realm, two 3rd level, three 4th level, from one 7th, 8th, and 9th level, and one 1st level Great Boundary Ascension Realm cultivator.
On earth, this was the line-up of the 5th to 8th organizations in world ranking order, and each one of them was considered even more dangerous than Nuclear weapons.
Normally after death, a cultivator's cultivation would start to dissipate slowly, until there was nothing left.
But Tianlong Yun had teleported these guys inside the Old Pouch and kept them in vacuum spaces. While that wouldn't totally block their cultivation from dissipating it would certainly slow it down.
He needed to turn them into puppets as soon as possible, in order to keep their cultivation intact. They wouldn't be able to increase their cultivation more than that, but it didn't matter.
He only needed to keep them like that for some more time, they would be his tram cards when he had to fight those really troublesome opponents.
In order to have a better success rate of his puppetry through his Soul Clones, he would need to give them a 'Conscience Sea Opening' pill.
This was a level 3 medicine that sects or clans would use on their descendants as soon as they were 4 to 5 years old.
Like this, they would be able to awaken the existence of their conscience sea sooner, and at the same time to start their cultivation earlier.
Due to its price and ingredients wasn't something that all people could find, or all alchemists could concoct but nonetheless, it was really famous and well sought in the Immortal World.
It was one of the most famous general pills in all the markets, as each sect, family, or clan wanted to raise a better and stronger generation.
Such a pill was clearly easy for Tianlong Yun to concoct though, as he was already using quite a few of them with his Shadow Clan disciples in Earth.
One such pill was given to the disciples for free at the beginning, but in fact, they returned the price of it later with their missions, and work.
Without losing time, Tianlong Yun immediately made 13 such pills appear in his hand through thin air and sent them flying to each corpse.
Together with the pill, each one of these corpses received even one of his Soul Clones, that would take control of their bodies.
It was certainly not easy to take control of 13 corpses at the same time, but since there was no kind of resistance it wasn't that difficult either.
Tianlong Yun just had to divide his attention into 14 different bodies at the same time! well, it was easier said than done, but he was able to achieve it without difficulty.
At the same time, he could feel that his breakthrough to the next level in Soul Cultivation was approaching, and he wouldn't be able to push it for long.
One thing he made sure of was wiping his Soul Clones with any information of the Soul Cultivation Technique beyond the Soul Master level.
Why!?
Really simple, it was possible that once one of his Soul Clones grows stronger through a weird turn of events that the main Soul Avatar, then it could replace it.
Meaning, that the original Tianlong Yun wouldn't be the same Tianlong Yun anymore, but a new variant of him.
What could be the consequences of this he didn't know, as fundamentally each Soul Clone represents him, and his original, but he didn't want to test that out.
It was better to keep things under control no matter what. In fact, there was a possibility for these puppets to progress in cultivation.
But that was only if his Soul Clones reached the same level of cultivation on Soul Cultivation, and were able to fully adapt with the bodies, it was just that the probability of that happening was really close to 0.
These guys were his trump cards from now on though, so he immediately ordered them to stay here, and continue cultivating until he needed them.
This way their rate of cultivation dissipation would get even lower, and he could have them resist for longer.
With that out of the way, he was ready to get outside, get out of this abyss, and then search for his wives. They had already suffered a lot as it was, he couldn't let them suffer anymore.
Until now he had been butt naked but it didn't seem like it was disturbing for him, still immediately as he stood up, clothes appeared in front of him.
Wearing a white hanfu, with no marks whatsoever, and with his red hair tied in a ponytail behind, he left the Old Pouch to get outside.
Outside it was the same darkness he had felt before this forest had turned into a big pit on the ground, but this time the pressure was almost inexistent for him.
Even though he had caused quite a ruckus the other day, there weren't many people around this place, besides a few small groups.
Most of them only had 2 or 3 members, and only one had 7 people or it would be more appropriate to say the group had 4 living guys, and 3 puppets.
To Tianlong Yun none of these guys mattered, even their life and death were meaningless to him, as he just had to find someone to guide him outside.
He didn't want to lose time so it would be better if he had some sort of guide to take him outside. So, one of these groups would surely become his guide, he was only thinking about which one.
The fact that he didn't care about them didn't mean that those guys didn't care about him either. After all, it was quite surprising for someone to suddenly appear out of thin air in their sense radar.
Nobody knew what kind of person was in front of them right now, and they didn't even know if he was a friend or foe, so everyone was attentive to him.
It didn't take Tianlong Yun long to decide on his guide though, as he started walking towards a group of ladies.
There were three of them, and while they weren't exactly top beauties, they weren't bad either. Since he would spend some time with the guide, he guessed he could find some pleasant company.
With that decided he immediately turned in their direction and started walking towards them. The ladies seemed to have sensed him, and immediately put their guard up.
Even though it was complete darkness they could use their senses to 'see' in that place, so in no time they understood that a devilishly handsome young man with red hair, and blue eyes were standing in front of them.
The one who seemed to be like the leader of the team got in front as she asked,
"Who are you, and what are you trying to do!?"
Tianlong Yun didn't want to cause trouble right now, so he guessed to take the safe approach, as he said with a weak voice,
"I am just a weak disciple from the Wei family in Shanghai, I came here with my fellow disciples, but I lost them on the way, and am looking for a way to get out.
Can you please help me?"
The ladies seemed to be looking at him with suspicion, as no matter how much they tried to probe this guy they were unable to sense his cultivation.
If he was truly as weak as he said, then there was no way for him to be able to do something like that, they should be able to see his cultivation.
Furthermore, their instincts were alarming these ladies that this guy wasn't someone they could mess with.
Just because the ladies could think of this didn't mean that others would do so too, though. As one of the guys from a 3-men group walked forwards and said with a loud voice,
"Little brother don't worry, I and my brothers will help you get out of here. But the problem is that we are here to make some fortune for ourselves, so it would be shameful for us to return emptyhanded."
His meaning was clear, could Tianlong Yun pay for their guide and escort through the abyss or not. If he could, they would take him outside, if not he would be left there, after being robbed of course.
The ladies didn't seem to say anything they just raised their guard more in the situation when the other group of 7 appeared at the same time and said,
"Little brother don't believe those guys! They are nothing more than some extorters, and bandits. You better come with us!"
Both groups seemed to be great Samaritans wanting to help him, but their look on his clothes and the ladies beside him were more than disturbing.
Looking at this situation, Tianlong Yun took a deep breath let out a sigh as he said,
"I was thinking to make this easy, and bloodless, but it seems like you guys have made up your minds
