Chapter 12: Chestnut in the Fire

All of this knowledge and experience about stand-in puppets are priceless treasures that ancient cultivators have summed up through the lessons of death, and they are spread from all walks of life, even ordinary cultivators can know a thing or two. But most people only understand it as a legend, and never imagined that one day, a real stand-in puppet will be placed in front of them.

At this time, a complete stand-in puppet was found in the cave of Xingyun Zhenren, and the shock to everyone's hearts can be imagined, and all the people involved in the competition for the treasure of the immortal mansion all went crazy uncontrollably, desperately using all their strength, and forgetting their lives to join the ranks of the scramble.

Especially those scattered immortals who were struggling to survive under the Heavenly Tribulation, their eyes turned red the moment they saw this magic weapon, and they completely fell into a state of madness.

In the face of this legendary treasure, no scattered immortal could calm down, and everyone's minds were focused on that small god-level magic weapon, thinking about how to snatch it into their hands. As for the other elixirs, immortal weapons, immortal spells and other items left by the Nebula real person, they were all temporarily left aside, and they couldn't attract much attention at all.

For these powerful scattered immortal-level masters, as long as they grab a stand-in puppet, they can survive the catastrophe safely, and after they ascend to the immortal realm, they will be an immortal, and those things will be a natural process, and if you want it, you can get it soon. At this time, if you lose the watermelon because you picked sesame seeds, it is really stupid, and it is completely a thing that outweighs the loss.

Indeed, the influence of the stand-in puppet on the scattered immortals is too great, especially when it comes to the tribulation, it has a decisive role, as long as you hold such a heavenly tribulation weapon in your hand, the success rate of the tribulation can immediately increase by several percent, not to mention that there is absolutely no problem, but it is also said that it is nine out of ten, as long as it does not suddenly encounter uncontrollable accidents, it can almost 100% guarantee the success of the tribulation.

With the help of this top treasure, the journey of the Tribulator will definitely change dramatically. The first point is that the mentality of the tribulation is different, less worry about the failure of the tribulation, and after devoting all your mind to fighting the tribulation, you can naturally exert your own strength in full or beyond the whole and increase the success rate of the tribulation.

Secondly, if you suffer little or no damage during the tribulation, you can naturally spend a lot of time on cultivation to effectively improve your own cultivation, or prepare magic weapons, pills and other conditions for the next tribulation, so as to increase the success rate of the next tribulation.

Because the scattered immortals have no physical body, they rely on the energy of the Yuan Infant to survive, and they are most afraid of being fatally injured, and once they are seriously injured, it will be very difficult to treat, and they can only rely on a long period of recuperation to recover slowly. Therefore, many scattered immortals spend hundreds of years just healing their injuries after each tribulation, and there is not much time left to really cultivate, and the improvement of cultivation is obviously much slower, and the difficulty of the next tribulation will naturally increase by a few points.

The more serious the injury, the longer the time to heal; the longer the time to heal, the less time to cultivate; the less time to cultivate, the lower the cultivation; the lower the cultivation, the more difficult it is to cross the tribulation; and the more difficult it is, the more serious the injury......

This vicious circle of dilemmas has always plagued the Scattered Immortal cultivators, making them exhausted to deal with them, and finally they have to die in despair under the Heavenly Tribulation, and they will be wiped out. All the scattered immortals are looking for a way to get out of this vicious circle that is like a nightmare that haunts them, but few of them can succeed, and the stand-in puppet that appeared in front of them at this time has solved this problem in an instant, how not to make them ecstatic, how not to let them go all out. If they are lucky enough to grab this treasure, the door of the fairy world will basically be open to them!

The magic weapon of the Nine Tribulation Substitute Puppet has a very peculiar property, that is, every time you resist a divine tribulation or a heavenly tribulation, a crack will appear on the body, once the nine cracks are born together, it will immediately fall apart and dissipate into invisibility;

Since the stand-in puppet left by the Nebula True Man still exists, it means that it can still play a role, and it can resist at least one catastrophe. In fact, when this supreme treasure was discovered at first glance, there were already advanced cultivators who had already counted the number of cracks - a total of seven, which meant that it could also resist two heavenly tribulations. With these two absolutely safe opportunities, coupled with their own efforts, for any scattered immortal, the ascension of the Tribulation is no longer an unattainable luxury, and the gate of the immortal realm, which has basically been closed, will be open to them again.

After instantly calculating the benefits and disadvantages, those high-level scattered immortals who were more than five or six tribulations recklessly joined the ranks of competing for stand-in puppets, and all kinds of top-level magic weapons were used one after another, and all kinds of world-destroying super spells were also fought out without hesitation. In an instant, the vicinity of Nebula Zhenren's cave mansion became a fierce and abnormal battlefield, and the scene was really chaotic to the extreme, and the slightest carelessness would end up being either dead or injured.

In the face of the scattered immortals who were snatching the red eyes, the cultivators who felt that their strength was not strong enough naturally withdrew from the center of the scramble early, stayed aside and watched the development of the situation, secretly waiting for the opportunity to take advantage. As for those Mahayana masters who were extremely strong and could completely confront high-level scattered immortals, they all withdrew from the chaotic situation and turned away in a dashing manner.

After all, they have successfully survived the catastrophe and obtained the ticket to the fairy world, and they can safely ascend to immortals after waiting for the auspicious light of the fairy world to descend, there is really no need to take risks in the final stage, if they accidentally suffer any fatal injuries and delay the ascension after that, it will be a real loss.

Even the masters of the Mahayana period took the initiative to withdraw and no longer mix with the desperate competition of those scattered immortals, and cultivators like Lu Yan who were still in the tribulation period and the merger period naturally couldn't even stand the side, and they were completely left to watch the excitement, and maybe a little bit of rubbing it would be the end of their bodies and souls.

And for this chaotic and dangerous situation, he naturally has an extremely clear understanding, and he has not interfered indiscriminately from beginning to end, and even out of the consideration of "the fire at the city gate will affect the fish in the pond", he retreated to the periphery and retreated, and retreated far away to a barren star field far away from dozens of planets in the center of the battle, completely dispelling the psychology of fighting.

The battle at the level of high-level scattered immortals is no longer something that a cultivator of Lu Yan's strength can interfere with, and it is the wisest choice to withdraw as soon as possible. What's more, along the way, he has seen so many Mahayana and Scattered Immortal-level masters fighting each other, and he has seen many quasi-immortal methods that he usually can't see at all, and he also feels that his eyes have been opened and he has gained a lot, and he is preparing to find a safe place to retreat and absorb these experiences, so as to improve what he has learned and lay a solid foundation for the future process of crossing the tribulation.

However, no one can tell the truth about chance, it's really luck, and you can't stop it. After a brutal battle among the many scattered immortals, the two Seven Tribulation Scattered Immortals - the Baicao Sanren of the Rejuvenation Valley and Wei Changfeng of the Divine Fire Gate gained the upper hand, one of them relied on a large number of elixirs, and the other relied on powerful magic weapons, and finally defeated many competitors and had the last laugh. If there had been no accident later, the owner of the substitute puppet would definitely be one of the two of them, and thousands of years later, there would have been a scattered immortal who had successfully ascended to the immortal realm.

It's a pity that the accident happened just when they didn't know it. After repelling many competitors, Wei Changfeng quickly took advantage of the opportunity of the Hundred Grass Scattered People to get the stand-in puppet first, and then exerted all his strength, used the Star Shifting Technique, and fled towards the endless void in a hurry.

Faced with this sudden accident, after Baicaosan people were stunned for a moment, they immediately reacted, and then they didn't even have time to deal with the injury, and after quickly sweeping away the remaining treasures, they also mustered up the last immortal spirit power and chased in the direction of Wei Changfeng's escape. And the direction they moved was the direction where Lu Yan was.

When it was really a person sitting at home, the disaster came from the sky, and Lu Yan, who was already far away from the dozens of planets in the center of the competition, was once again involved in it because of a sudden accident, which inexplicably triggered a series of major events that shocked the entire cultivation world.

After chasing dozens of planets, the Baicaosan people finally caught up with Wei Changfeng. And after the two of them met again, they didn't say much, and as soon as they made contact, they quickly got into a fight, both wanting to fight each other with all their might, and finally win the stand-in puppet.

The movement under the fierce battle between the two naturally alarmed Lu Yan early in the morning, and at the beginning, it was indeed so frightened that Lu Yan almost ran away, but after careful observation, he found that these two people were not only slow, but the power of the spells they issued was also greatly reduced, which was very inconsistent with the level of the Seven Tribulation Scattered Immortals.

After sneaking aside and continuing to observe for a long time, Lu Yan was finally convinced that both of them were already suffering extremely serious injuries and were already in the state of the end of the crossbow. Seeing this scene, he moved his mind again, as the so-called "snipe and clam fight, fisherman profits!" These two fought with each other, fighting and losing both, but gave him the opportunity to rob the stand-in puppet halfway, if it is operated properly, it may not be impossible to succeed.

Crisis, crisis, danger contains opportunities! After starving to death the faint-hearted, supporting the bold, and having the idea of profiting from the fisherman, Lu Yan immediately canceled his preparations to flee far away, and hid aside at great risk, ready to take the chestnut in the fire and grab the food at any time.
