Inside the qiankun storage ring.
Xiao Yi was now truly able to properly admire the internal space of this ring, which was like an external cheat.
It must be said, the qiankun storage ring and the storage ring were both rings.
However, the internal space of the two differed greatly.
It is well known that even a High-Tier storage ring could only have one layer of Soul imprint added, in addition to a larger storage space.
And this qiankun storage ring, not to mention its Spirit Gathering function, just its internal space alone was astonishingly large!
"This space, it's probably as big as Wutan City..."
Xiao Yi looked around, feeling the environment filled with pure Spiritual Qi, and couldn't help but sigh.
Xiao Xuan, on the other hand, smiled slightly:
"Little Fellow, you are now a genuine Dou Zun Expert. Can your vision be a bit more long-term?"
"The scope of this space is far beyond your imagination!"
"And according to my perception, the space within this qiankun storage ring can also change in size according to the strength of its owner's Soul Power..."
"When your Soul reaches the Late Heaven Realm in the future, I'm afraid this space will be comparable to a Small World opened up by a Dou Saint Expert..."
"I didn't expect that little Half-Saint could obtain such a treasure..."
Xiao Xuan was also somewhat surprised at this moment, as he hadn't expected such a treasure to appear in a mere Half-Saint's relic.
"Alright, Little Fellow, with this ring in the future, whether you're fighting or cultivating, it will be twice the results with half the effort for you..."
Xiao Xuan also spoke again with great satisfaction, clearly very pleased with the ring.
Xiao Yi nodded, then fixed his gaze on the eight High-Tier Dou Zun.
After all, these were eight Eight-Star Dou Zun level Experts!
Such free Puppets, Xiao Yi naturally wanted to find a way to subdue them as soon as possible.
If he could succeed, this would undoubtedly be a huge boost to Xiao Yi's combat power.
Xiao Xuan saw Xiao Yi's expression and understood what he was thinking, speaking in a deep voice:
"Little Fellow, these eight Puppets were all created through Living Human Puppet Refining by that Refining Puppet Saint using a secret method when they were alive..."
"If you want to activate these eight Puppets, you probably first need to learn that Puppet Refining Technique using that bone..."
"However, since it's an item left by a Half-Saint level Expert, he must have left his Soul imprint on it. Rashly learning it now might lead to a backlash..."
Xiao Yi listened and smiled slightly: "Ancestor, you also said that the Refining Puppet Saint was merely a Half-Saint, not a true Dou Saint..."
"Even if he left a Soul imprint, even as a Half-Saint, he only had a Heavenly Realm Soul. Heaven Realm against Heaven Realm, I don't fear him!"
Looking at Xiao Yi's determined eyes, Xiao Xuan just smiled slightly and didn't try to dissuade him further.
After all, this kind of unyielding drive was the most precious thing flowing in the Bloodline of the Xiao Clan members.
"Good boy! I truly didn't misjudge you!"
Xiao Xuan said with a smile, full of praise.
Xiao Yi also smiled and nodded, then took out the bone that contained the essence of the Refining Puppet Saint's life.
The next second, the bone, flashing with golden runes, slowly emitted its light.
Suddenly, a powerful force surged from the bone, rushing directly towards Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi only felt his vision go dark, and when he opened his eyes again,
his Soul Origin had already arrived in another mysterious space.
In front of Xiao Yi, an old man in ancient yellow robes sat cross-legged, which was a trace of the Soul imprint left by the Refining Puppet Saint.
Noticing the arrival of Xiao Yi's Soul, the Refining Puppet Saint slowly raised his head, his pair of already withered pupils coldly scrutinizing Xiao Yi:
"I didn't expect that someone of such a young age could find this place..."
"However, if you want to obtain the Puppet Refining Technique that I researched my entire life, I'm afraid it won't be that easy..."
The Refining Puppet Saint snorted coldly, then slowly stood up. At the same time, the airflow around him seemed to solidify, directly lifting the Refining Puppet Saint.
The next second, a faint green light slowly lit up in the Refining Puppet Saint's originally dark and hollow eyes.
"To reach the Dou Zun Realm at such an age, and even achieve a Heavenly Realm Soul, is truly rare and commendable..."
"However, if you want my Puppet Refining Technique, you must be prepared to become a Puppet!"
The Refining Puppet Saint snorted coldly, then his figure flickered, instantly transforming into a faint green light and appearing beside Xiao Yi.
The green light emanating from his eyes did not weaken but intensified, staring intently into Xiao Yi's eyes.
The next second, Xiao Yi felt his Soul being forcibly plunged into a dark abyss.
And his Soul Power seemed to be slowly being corroded by the surrounding darkness.
"Is this old fellow planning to refine me into a Living Puppet...?"
Xiao Yi felt a sudden unease and whispered.
At the same time, Xiao Yi's Physical Body, which was inside the qiankun storage ring, suddenly opened its previously closed eyes, and a faint green light could be vaguely seen.
"It really was a backlash after all..."
Xiao Xuan, seeing this, also spoke in a deep voice.
However, even so, Xiao Xuan did not choose to intervene, because if he were to forcefully interfere at this moment, it might cause irreversible damage to Xiao Yi's Soul.
Since it had only just begun, Xiao Xuan still chose to trust Xiao Yi.
At this time, Xiao Yi's Soul was in that endless abyss, and just as Xiao Yi felt himself still falling endlessly,
a flame instantly appeared on his glabella!
The Fallen Heart Flame instantly enveloped Xiao Yi's Soul, protecting it and shielding it from the erosion of the darkness.
Xiao Yi exerted force, and his Soul instantly broke free from the abyss.
At the same time, the green-glowing eyes of Xiao Yi's Physical Body returned to normal.
And seeing that Xiao Yi's Soul had actually escaped his control,
the Refining Puppet Saint first froze slightly, then burst into laughter:
"Not bad, not bad..."
"You are the first Dou Zun in a thousand years to break free from my [Soul Devouring Curse]..."
"However, even with the protection of a Heavenly Flame, as long as you harbor the thought of taking my Puppet Refining Technique!"
"Then today, you are destined to become my Puppet!"
But Xiao Yi snorted coldly:
"A wisp of a remnant Soul, yet you dare to speak so arrogantly!"
The Refining Puppet Saint's mouth twitched slightly upon hearing this:
"Impudent ant, how dare you challenge the dignity of a Saint!"
Xiao Yi slowly stood up, the Fallen Heart Flame around him growing more vigorous:
"Saint?"
"You are merely a Half-Saint who perished countless years ago, yet you dare to call yourself a Saint?"
"Moreover, I am not the ant you speak of!"
"The situation now does not rely on Dou Qi, but on Soul Power..."
"And since you and I both possess a Heavenly Realm Soul, why should I fear you?"
"Then let's see if I become your Puppet, or if your remnant Soul completely dissipates between heaven and earth!"
