447: Red Blood Gold

After much thought, Lu Chen finally decided there was no need to rush his departure.

He released all of his Ten Transformations Dao Soldiers, Hundred Transformations Dao Soldiers, and even his Dao Soldier Clones to search for the so-called opportunities on this third landmass.

Three days passed, and surprisingly, Lu Chen actually found two or three unusual items.

Among them, the most remarkable was the 'Crimson Blood Geng Metal'. This item could be used to refine Immortal Soldiers, and was an extremely precious divine material, even more extraordinary than the previous 'earth spirit essence'. It might even be able to directly nurture a 'Divine Power Dao Soldier' comparable to the Ascension Realm.

Furthermore, this kind of divine material possessed extremely prominent characteristics.

For instance, if this Crimson Blood Geng Metal was refined into an Immortal Soldier, it would possess the characteristic of cutting through anything and being able to drink blood.

Moreover, this blood-drinking characteristic was extremely exaggerated; below the Immortal Realm, anyone who saw this Immortal Soldier would surely have their Physical Body perish.

Of course, relying solely on 'Crimson Blood Geng Metal' as a divine material would not be enough to refine a true Immortal Soldier; other precious materials would certainly need to be mixed in. Therefore, Lu Chen guessed that 'Crimson Blood Geng Metal' should be able to nurture a Divine Power Dao Soldier.

There were two remaining precious materials, namely 'Bone Spirit Azure Gold' and 'Thin Gauze Colored Gold'. Lu Chen guessed that these two materials could only nurture Hundred Transformations Dao Soldiers, but they also each had their own characteristics, although their destructive power was not particularly outstanding.

But it was better than nothing.

"I was still a bit too impatient; the second landmass hasn't been searched yet," Lu Chen reflected to himself.

However, there was no rush; it would be the same to search it again later.

Furthermore, these divine materials and various other opportunities must all possess extremely extraordinary spirituality. If the Opportunity had not arrived, forcibly searching would definitely yield no results. Finding these three treasures had actually exceeded Lu Chen's expectations.

"The Holy Son truly has great opportunities!" Zhuang Hao was inwardly astonished upon seeing this.

Everyone knew there were great opportunities on the Immortal Path, but those who could find them were always few and far between.

For many Disciples of the Dongxu Immortal Mansion, from stepping onto the Immortal Path until they surpassed three thousand years old and could no longer enter the Immortal Path, during this entire process, they had never obtained any opportunities on the Immortal Path. This was the normal state.

Yet, their own Holy Son, simply by releasing his external Clone for a casual search, found three opportunities. With such Luck, who could compare?

After collecting the Dao Soldiers and divine materials, Lu Chen and Zhuang Hao continued forward.

Just as they were about to reach the end of the third landmass and the third Dao Inquiry Starry Sky Road was in sight, the Void rippled, and a young man with an ordinary appearance but profound Aura, faintly seeming to carry the traces of time, stepped out from the nothingness.

"Ancient Clan, Gu Wandai!" Zhuang Hao's expression tightened, and then he became eager to try, his eyes shining.

The twelfth on the Heaven's Pride Rankings was just right for a test.

Because the current eleventh, if nothing unexpected happened, should be their own Holy Son, Lu Chen, whom he definitely couldn't defeat.

Therefore, Gu Wandai, who was twelfth, was just right.

Oh, Gu Wandai should be thirteenth now, because the original eleventh was the Sacred Spirit Race's Heavenly Sword, who had been pushed down by the Sun Moon God Clan's Ming Wang, dropping to twelfth. With the ranking shifting back, Gu Wandai was thirteenth.

It didn't matter.

"Dongxu Immortal Mansion's Zhuang Hao, I know you," Gu Wandai glanced at Zhuang Hao, who was eager to try and clearly had his fighting spirit rising, "But I am not here for you."

He looked at Lu Chen, "I've long heard that Saint Lu's Puppet Technique is heaven-reaching, so I've specially come to seek guidance."

Seeing Lu Chen narrow his eyes slightly, Gu Wandai's heart trembled, and he quickly added, "I know Saint Lu's strength is formidable, even capable of fighting Immortals. Therefore, this time I seek guidance only on Puppets, nothing else."

Earlier, Lu Chen's True Dragon external Clone fought an Immortal, and he also killed over a hundred thousand Tongtian Realm cultivators. Even the Sun Moon God Clan's Ming Wang was personally killed by Lu Chen. Gu Wandai knew all of this clearly, so naturally, he wouldn't engage in a fight with Lu Chen again.

After all, if they really started fighting, Lu Chen could kill him with a single slap.

'Compete in Puppets? I know jack shit about Puppet Technique!' Lu Chen was speechless inwardly and could only wave his hand, "Fellow Daoist must have misheard. I am not skilled in the path of Puppets."

Gu Wandai choked slightly. 'Someone hailed as having heaven-reaching Puppet Technique, saying you don't know Puppets, who would believe that?'

"What would it take for Saint Lu to agree to compete?" Gu Wandai didn't waste any words but directly stated his condition, "If Saint Lu is willing to compete with me, I know of an Opportunity that I can give to Saint Lu."

Lu Chen immediately became serious, "Actually, I am also slightly proficient in Puppet Technique."

Gu Wandai's face was taut, and he forcefully suppressed the urge to roll his eyes, "Since that's the case, please, Saint Lu, enlighten me."

As his words fell, Gu Wandai waved his hand, and a dense mass of three hundred and sixty-five metal Puppets of various appearances appeared. Their cold texture and strange Aura gave off an exceptionally strong sense of oppression.

Even with Zhuang Hao's strength, he inexplicably felt pressure in front of these three hundred and sixty-five Puppets.

"Is someone ranked thirteenth also this strong?" Zhuang Hao inwardly marveled.

To be honest, if they were to fight, these three hundred and sixty-five Puppets would probably be difficult to handle.

Because from those Puppets, Zhuang Hao clearly saw many extremely extraordinary precious materials. And materials like these could not be shattered without an Immortal Soldier in hand.

However, this level, compared to their own Holy Son, was not just a little bit different; it was merely insignificant!

"Puppets?!"

It was rumored that Lu Chen's Puppet Technique was heaven-reaching, but in reality, it was his first time seeing Puppets, so he couldn't help but be curious and took a few more glances.

Before Lu Chen could make a move, Gu Wandai seemed to have remembered something and quickly emphasized again, "Saint Lu, let me state beforehand, we are only competing with Puppets. Your external Clone cannot be used."

Lu Chen nodded heavily, "Naturally, it won't be used."

That's part of the package, brother.

Whether it's Puppets or external Clones, they are all Dao Soldiers. How else would I fight?

At most, I'll make the Dao Soldiers look more like Puppets.

As his words fell, Lu Chen also waved his hand, summoning three hundred and sixty-five Hundred Transformations Dao Soldiers comparable to Tongtian Realm Great Power.

Unlike usual, these Hundred Transformations Dao Soldiers were all in the appearance of Golden Armor Dao Soldiers.

"My Puppets are forged from various precious materials and refined gold, making them indestructible. Brother Lu, be careful," Gu Wandai instructed, then waved his hand.

The next moment, three hundred and sixty-five Puppets surged out like a steel flood.

The power and Aura emanating from each Puppet were different, a blend of the characteristics of various precious materials, combined with a strange refining method, something never seen or heard before.

What was even more alarming was that each of these Puppets possessed strength no less than a peak Tongtian Realm Great Power. It was likely that even a Tongtian Realm cultivator with seven Dharma Idols might not be able to steadily defeat any single one of these Puppets.

However, Lu Chen merely glanced at them and didn't look further.

To be honest, before this, Lu Chen had some thoughts about Gu Wandai, because this guy's Puppets were also refined from his accompanying Spirit Treasure.

But looking at them now, they were just so-so, not as substantial as the Demon Clan.

With the quality of goods Gu Wandai nurtured, Lu Chen could casually kill a few Tongtian Realm Heavenly Pride from the Demon Clan, fuse them, and easily beat these Puppets. If he used them as Dao Soldiers, it would be a complete waste of Dao Soldier slots.

Of course, Lu Chen didn't lack Dao Soldier slots now anyway.

In short, they were somewhat useful, but not very useful.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

The Dao Soldiers did not use Dharma Idols, but only Divine Power, the power of heaven and earth rules, plus the Five Elements True Seeds, and physical strength. As soon as they engaged, they beat Gu Wandai's Puppets back step by step.

After a few exchanges, Gu Wandai's Puppets were almost torn apart by Lu Chen's Dao Soldiers.

And this was still the result of Lu Chen holding back, holding back, and holding back again.
