  "...Bang!" Lie Tong only felt his mind suddenly exploding, his soul power and spiritual power merging. With the previous inability to break through, this time Lie Tong had made a full effort, but in one go, he broke through the Danhai Gate. The strong impact made Lie Tong's head feel like it was going to explode. He didn't know if it was physical exhaustion or an inability to bear the intense pain that caused him to faint directly.

  On the side, Qing Yi heard the sound of a thud and opened her eyes to see Lie Tong lying on the ground. She let out a cry of surprise and quickly checked on Lie Tong. But just as her hand was about to touch Lie Tong's body, she suddenly stopped. She stared at the spiritual energy that was crazily gathering towards Lie Tong's body in amazement, frozen in place.

  "Brother Qingyun has broken through the sixth layer of Kai Ling and reached Ju Ling?" Qing Yi exclaimed, taking a few steps back and sitting down, deeply afraid of disturbing Lie Teng.

  "The Great Way is vast and obscure, the Way gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things. All things are mixed with chaos, chaos gives birth to the Great Way. What is called the Way? Countless spirits are all the Way. The Way is just the Way, there is no so-called Way. I say this is the Way, and that's it. The Great Way has no shape, the Great Way is natural, and that's the Way."

  Every time Lie Teng fell into a coma, he would hear this song of the Great Way in his heart. When the song finished, Lie Teng felt refreshed and opened his eyes. Suddenly, he found that the scene before him had changed, becoming more delicate. Lie Teng lay on the ground, his eyes almost seeing the ants crawling on the leaves above, even hearing the sound of earthworms moving underground in front of him. Lie Teng was stunned, what happened?

  Lie Teng sat up, but didn't know that his body was emitting a faint glow at this time, and his ordinary face had an additional elegant temperament.

  Lieteng looked around and his eyes fell on the green-clad youth with a smile all over his face.

  "Congratulations to Brother Qingyun, you've reached the Gathering Spirit level." The woman in green didn't wait for Lie Teng to speak and said first, her face filled with joy as if she had broken through herself.

  "Congealing spirit? I've finally broken through the Danhai Gate?" Lie Teng was taken aback, thinking to himself, calming down, Lie Teng focused his mind to examine his body, suddenly, he discovered that he could actually see inside himself. A network of fine meridians crisscrossed throughout his body, and within these meridians flowed threads of spiritual energy. Lie Teng suppressed the excitement in his heart, slowly searching through his body, finally, he stared at the Danhai in his abdomen, momentarily stunned. A thick, large meridian, as big as a small finger, branched out from the Danhai, spreading throughout his body like branches and leaves. Lie Teng discovered that the spiritual energy within the meridians all originated from the Danhai, which seemed to be a massive container. As long as the Danhai existed, there would never be a situation where spiritual energy was depleted, unless it was consumed excessively, exhausting the stored spiritual energy within the Danhai. Lie Teng took a deep breath, stopping his internal vision, and with a movement of his mind, everything within a hundred meters appeared in his mind's eye.

  "Could it be... that this is the divine sense?" Lie Teng exclaimed, according to the "Puppet Technique", after reaching the Gathering Spirit stage, one would possess this divine sense. The higher one's cultivation, the wider the range of the divine sense. Lie Teng was overjoyed in his heart, for the first time feeling the sensation of increased cultivation, which gave his heart new vitality and filled his face with a smile. This was the first time since Emperor Lie Feng's passing that such an excited smile had appeared on Lie Teng's face, just like when he was a child and found out he could cultivate martial arts.

  Feeling the surge of spiritual energy within his meridians, Lie Teng felt that he could now shatter a boulder with a single punch, his strength having increased by an unknown number of times. However, this feeling did not last for long, as thoughts of the difficulty in breaking through to the sixth layer of the Soul Opening Stage weighed heavily on his mind. Cultivation was extremely difficult, especially when one's cultivation base was high, making breakthroughs even more challenging.

  Lie Teng took a few deep breaths, his eyes fixed firmly on the sky, his fists clenched tightly. In his heart, he secretly vowed: "Ji Ling, although there is still a great distance between us, I, Lie Teng, will strive hard until one day I can avenge my loved ones!" The thought of the imperial city's bloody rivers made his heart feel as if it had been cut by a knife.

  After calming down the emotions in his heart, Lie Teng looked at Qing Yi with a joyful face and said calmly: "Qing Yi, cultivate well." After finishing speaking, Lie Teng walked into the room.

  "Brother Qingyun has reached the Gathering Spirit stage, it seems that I, Qingyi, must also work hard." Qingyi clenched her fists tightly and said in a soft voice.

  Lieteng sat on the bed in his room, deep in thought. From Qingyun's memories, he recalled that there were twelve main peaks in the Puppet Sect, each with a powerful peak master who was an elder of the sect. Although he didn't know how strong they were, Qingyun's memories showed great fear towards them. Qingdie, on the other hand, was a disciple of another peak called Qixian Peak, known for her beauty and heavenly appearance, one of the few beauties in the Puppet Sect. As for Qingfeng, he was a disciple of Qizhen Peak, but his cultivation had reached the level of gathering spirits. The two often clashed due to their rivalry over Qingdie. From Qingyun's memories, Lieteng silently cursed him, thinking that even calling him "trash" would be a compliment. Most of Qingyun's memories were about Qingdie, and he didn't even have basic knowledge outside of the Puppet Sect. Fortunately, Qingyun's memories did contain some information about puppet crafting, which made Lieteng quickly take a look.

  Kuang Zong is famous for its puppets, and there are several methods of making puppets. However, Qingyun's memory is not continuous, so Lie Teng can't figure it out for the time being. Looking around the room he is in, Lie Teng's gaze finally falls on an ancient wooden table in Qingyun's room, with a black book placed casually on it.

  Lie Teng hastily got out of bed, picked up the black book on the table, and began to flip through it. The book was called "Refining Puppetry" and described how to refine puppets. Lie Teng casually flipped through it and found that the book only introduced the refining methods for the first three levels of puppets, which meant he could only refine puppets equivalent to the third level of the Congealing Dan period. However, this was enough to make Lie Teng feel like he had obtained a treasure, and he sat back down on the bed, carefully studying it.

  First-level puppet: Made from a corpse's skeleton, it has low strength, is stiff and lacks combat ability.

  Second-level Puppet: Extremely powerful, but the refinement process is extremely complex. Ordinary corpses or skeletons cannot become the body of a second-level puppet. The power of a second-level puppet depends on the cultivator's cultivation level and can be appropriately imbued with a soul that has had its memories erased.

  Third-level puppet: comparable to a strong Dan-stage cultivator, able to fly and escape with ease, attack is terrifying and unmatched.

  As he read the introduction to the puppet, Lie Teng's heart began to thump excitedly. If he could refine a second-level puppet, wouldn't that be equivalent to having two Spirit Gathering Cultivators? From Qingyun's memories, Qingfeng already possessed a second-level puppet. However, what made Lie Teng despair was that with Qingyun's current cultivation level, which couldn't even refine a first-level puppet, he still dared to provoke Qingfeng, who owned a second-level puppet. It was truly infuriating.

  Carefully reading how to refine a first-class puppet, Lie Teng couldn't help but want to try it out. Looking at the refining of a first-class puppet, it said that as long as an ordinary skeleton was added with the secret technique of the Puppet Sect, it would be successful, which was the simplest. Lie Teng suddenly thought of the skeleton his soul had possessed and hurriedly ran out to check if the small courtyard still had the skeleton. After thinking for a moment, he walked towards the door of Qing Yi's room and said: "Qing Yi, is that skeleton still there?"
