Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 2057: Chapter 680: 1,000 Zhuyan, Ancient Puppet Sect!

Qian Zhuyan knew that falling into Lu Changsheng’s hands meant that it was almost impossible for him to let her go.

She entered the [Vast Sand Illusion Realm] to help Shi Xuan break through to the Nascent Soul, so she could upgrade to a Fourth Rank Puppet and get her revenge.

The person in front of her was far more powerful than her, so she had no choice but to seize this opportunity.

Looking at the chaotic state of the puppet in front of him, Lu Changsheng asked her gently what was happening.

A moment later, Lu Changsheng understood the situation with the puppet in front of him.

From the Endless Wilderness, a Core Formation level power called [Qianzhu Sect].

During a childhood spiritual root test, she exhibited the anomaly of a Heavenly Spiritual Root and had a strong divine thought, so the head of Qianzhu Sect took her as a disciple and named her Qian Zhuyan.

At the age of twenty-one, she smoothly broke through to Foundation Establishment without needing a Foundation Establishment Elixir, shocking the entire Qianzhu Sect.

Later, under the guidance of the sect, she delved into learning Puppet Techniques.

Compared to cultivation in Heavenly Spiritual Roots, her talent in the puppet path was more astonishing.

In just two and a half years, she created a Second Rank Puppet, becoming a Second Rank Puppet Master, praised by her master as the greatest genius since the founding of Qianzhu Sect.

For the time that followed, she focused all her energy on the puppet path, and in just ten years, she created a Second Rank Superior Grade Puppet.

What influenced her to continue researching the puppet path was not talent, but her cultivation level.

Her master also said that she should prioritize her cultivation. Only by breaking through to Core Formation could she create a Third Rank Sect-stabilizing Puppet.

Due to spending too much time on the puppet path, she only reached the peak of Foundation Establishment at the age of ninety-one.

With the cultivation and resources prepared by Qianzhu Sect, she created a Third Rank Puppet at the age of ninety-eight and broke through to Core Formation in one fell swoop.

At this stage, the sect could offer limited help, so she began to give back to the sect, focusing her research on the sect’s puppet legacy.

In a hundred years, she not only created a Third Rank Superior Grade Puppet but also improved the sect’s Puppet Dao Treasure Book, leading Qianzhu Sect to flourish.

However, Qianzhu Sect’s development was too aggressive, and its puppet business attracted covetous eyes, especially from top powers in the Endless Wilderness, such as the Ancient Puppet Sect!

Like Qianzhu Sect, Ancient Puppet Sect also specialized in puppets.

Seeing Qianzhu Sect’s situation, they wanted to make them a vassal, demanding submission of Puppet Dao’s legacy and ninety percent of profits.

Qianzhu Sect was unwilling and negotiated with them.

No one expected that making them a vassal was just a guise, for they had already colluded with several other forces to carve up Qianzhu Sect.

On that day, Qianzhu Sect faced extermination.

Though Qian Zhuyan was exceptionally talented and a Puppet Master, able to resist against the peak of Core Formation with puppet battle formations, her cultivation level was only at Core Formation’s middle stage, far from being a match for Ancient Puppet Sect.

Watching her sect fall and facing imprisonment by Ancient Puppet Sect, she chose to self-destruct her Core Formation.

But at that instant, she recalled a theory she had studied early on regarding puppets—to transform herself into a ghost spirit using ghost cultivation methods, merge into the puppet core, and become a Puppet Spirit.

However, transforming a cultivator into a ghost cultivator is akin to rebirth; they are almost unrecognizable from their former self and can be viewed as a completely new life.

Not every cultivator can successfully convert to a ghost cultivator, as it requires the aid of Extreme Yin Land, ghost energy, among others.

But perhaps due to hatred and obsession in her heart, she succeeded.

At the moment of self-destruction, she used the Soul Transfer Technique to merge her soul into this puppet, escaping Ancient Puppet Sect’s pursuit.

To stay lucid and fulfill her vengeance, she only turned half of her soul into a Puppet Spirit.

However, puppets differ from humans and cannot enhance through cultivation. Instead, they can only upgrade the Puppet Spirit and improve puppet quality.
