Chapter 580 The Remnant Soul of Haotian? Refining a Puppet Heavenly Dao

"Huh?"

Upon entering the Great Thousand World, the fragment of the Heavenly Dao exclaimed in surprise, "Sect Master Lu, how can the flow of time in your Great Thousand World be so fast?"

As is widely known.

The maximum time acceleration for objects in space is 10 times, but it felt like time was flowing thousands of times faster in Lu Tao's vast world.

This is absolutely outrageous.

Upon hearing this, Lu Tao's heart stirred.

He originally thought that the thing before him, as the Heavenly Dao, should be fully aware of his many abilities.

This even made him wary.

It turns out that even the Heavenly Dao seems to have a rather limited understanding of him.

"Could it be because many of the items I crafted later were crafted in the Lesser Thousand Worlds and the Greater Thousand Worlds, and the Heavenly Dao did not intrude into these worlds to investigate?"

Lu Tao pondered silently.

Leaving aside the early stages, many of the items he crafted were done right under the nose of the Heavenly Dao.

However, since he ascended to the level of a God-King and created the Lesser Thousand World, all the items he has created have been created and upgraded within the Lesser Thousand World.

And when the small world is upgraded to the large world, it goes without saying.

His ability to refine and upgrade items has basically never been shown outside of the Great Thousand World itself, except for the tribulation upgrades within the Great Thousand World.

It's obvious.

It seems that Heaven only knows that he is very strong and the Immortal Sect is also very strong, but it is not very clear about their true strength.

That's really interesting.

Lu Tao laughed and said, "That's how it is when it's refined. Otherwise, how could my Immortal Sect have developed so quickly?"

"I see!"

The fragment of the Heavenly Dao suddenly revealed itself; although its expression was not visible, it still exuded a very shocking feeling.

The fragment of the Heavenly Dao asked, "Sect Master Lu, may I sense this world?"

"Please go ahead."

Lu Tao gestured for it to do as it pleased.

Buzz!

The power of the Heavenly Dao permeated the air, and although it was extremely weak, Lu Tao could still sense a fraction of the complete power of the Heavenly Dao within it.

"Huh?"

The fragment of the Heavenly Dao seemed to have discovered something and couldn't help but let out another soft exclamation.

At the same time, Number 4 also transmitted a message to Lu Tao: "Sect Master, it tried to send a message out, but failed."

"Um!"

Lu Tao nodded silently and instructed, "Gather the power of the world to seal it off and prevent it from collapsing."

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Number 4 received the order and not only gathered his powerful world power around him, but also borrowed the world power of Numbers 1, 2 and 3.

The fragment of the Heavenly Dao paused slightly, as if realizing something, and hurriedly explained, "Sect Master Lu, I meant no harm. I was just curious about the power of this Great Thousand World and tried to send a message outward to see just how strong this Great Thousand World is, and whether the will of heaven and earth can act as the Heavenly Dao."

"No need to pretend anymore!"

Lu Tao said with a smile, "If I'm not mistaken, the so-called Puppet Heavenly Dao should be made from a part of Haotian's soul, right?"

"..."

The fragment of the Heavenly Dao remained silent for a few breaths before asking in a deep voice, "How did you see through it? I thought I had disguised myself very well, and everything I said was true."

All Lu Tao could say was—it all depended on the idol!

After the fragment of the Heavenly Dao appeared, Lu Tao secretly prayed every time it revealed information, trying to see if it was true or false.

If it were the complete Way of Heaven, the statue of the deity would naturally not be able to make such a distinction.

However, this fragment of the Heavenly Dao is less than one billionth of the complete Heavenly Dao, and it is about to disintegrate, so praying for these messages seems less difficult.

really!

As the fragment of the Heavenly Dao states, much of the information it conveys is true.

For example, the Daoist priest recreated Haotian, Haotian's daughter reincarnated, his wife perished, and he even created a Heavenly Dao puppet, etc...

Most of the other information is true, but the information about its own origin is completely wrong.

also……

The story about it asking Lu Tao for help and asking him to save all living beings is also false.

This was the first thing the fragment of the Heavenly Dao did after it appeared. Lu Tao discovered it and distrusted it from the very beginning, let alone what happened later.

Based on one's own guesses, combined with prayers.

Lu Tao was shocked to discover that the fragment of the Heavenly Dao was actually made from the remnant soul of Haotian.

It's obvious.

Even if Haotian himself were to perish in this world, no other living being could ever hope to become the Heavenly Dao of this world.

Unless it is refined into a vast world.

It is unknown what the Venerable One's true intentions are, but he is risking the resurrection of Haotian by refining Haotian's remnant soul into a puppet Heavenly Dao to rule this world.

But in the end...

Without a doubt, the Daoist Master miscalculated.

Haotian has indeed risen from the ashes. Not only has his main body been secretly dormant and finally successfully revived, but even the puppet Heavenly Dao has broken free from his partial control over countless years.

As a result, Dao Zun was also injured due to the Heavenly Dao's underhanded tactics.

"How you figured it out is none of your concern."

Lu Tao looked at the fragment of the Heavenly Dao with a smile and said gratefully, "Thank you for providing me with the method to refine the puppet Heavenly Dao. Otherwise, it would have been quite troublesome for me to create a Heavenly Dao."

"snort!"

The fragment of the Heavenly Dao dropped the pretense and sneered, "This refining method is nine parts fake and one part real, so it will never succeed. Moreover, even if it does succeed, the Heavenly Dao you refine will not be able to become the Heavenly Dao of this world."

"I know!"

Lu Tao nodded and said with a smile, "Because it lacks Haotian's soul, but didn't you deliver yourself to my doorstep?"

The fragment of the Heavenly Dao seemed to have heard a huge joke and laughed loudly: "I am just a wisp of remnant soul, and I can disintegrate at any time. Not to mention that you cannot refine the Heavenly Dao with me, even if you succeed, I am not only weak, but I will also not help you control this world."

"It's alright, it's alright!"

Lu Tao seemed unconcerned and chuckled, "A wisp of remnant soul is enough. The real problem would be if there wasn't even a wisp."

The words fell.

The four great worlds that had been prepared long ago, along with He Yuanshuang, Wu Ming, and others, directly suppressed the fragments of the Heavenly Dao.

As for its desire to collapse...

Of course, things won't go as planned!

Back then, even the mere Shi Shu could slightly slow down the disintegration of Lu Tao's clone. Now that they have all cultivated the perfect Chaos Dao, stopping its disintegration is not difficult at all.

Buzz!

Under the combined influence of the power of the world and the Great Dao of Chaos, the fragment of the Heavenly Dao froze, as if trapped in a state of time stillness.

Lu Tao immediately ordered, "Number 4, slow down the flow of time in this space to match that of the outside world."

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Number 4 only had a thought, and the passage of time changed dramatically.

Lu Tao then instructed He Yuanshuang and the others, "Shuang'er, Xiaoming, you two use all your strength to suppress him with the Chaos Dao. When I return, I will refine it into the Heavenly Dao."

"yes!"

The group looked serious and focused on their task.

Lu Tao nodded silently, then went straight into the cave and began to act together with his clone, the disciples of the Immortal Sect, and others.

Lu Tao took out the crafting method of the Puppet Heavenly Dao, prayed for every material used, and then kept the real ones and removed the fake ones.

also.

Lu Tao also took out countless strange materials obtained from the other thirty-seven Dao Saints, as well as many God Emperors and God Sovereigns, and had his disciples pray to the statues one by one.

See which of the materials can be used to refine the Heavenly Dao puppet.

Lu Tao seemed to be going through the process of selecting pill formulas again, constantly using prayers to choose the right materials.

There were many wishes this time, so Lu Tao made hundreds of prayer statues and had all his disciples pray together.

He himself enveloped all the prayer statues with his immense divine power, seeing all the prayers and discerning whether the materials were usable.

This job was extremely difficult for Lu Tao when he was still at a low level of understanding.

But now that he has reached the peak of the God Emperor realm, doing this simple task is naturally no problem for him; it is easy and simple.

final.

After Lu Tao sifted through the various materials, he discovered that they were all basically related to aura.

For example, the primordial energy, the chaotic energy, the mother energy of all things, the profound energy of the nine heavens, and so on.

After various energies are integrated into Haotian's remnant soul, a puppet Heavenly Dao can be crafted to replace Haotian and take charge of this world.

but.

There are many such scents, encompassing almost all the scents of the entire world.

It contains both the seemingly complex and rare primordial energy of all things and the primordial energy of darkness; as well as the relatively common energy of the seven emotions and six desires, the human energy, and the energy of everyday life.

Other precious auras were naturally obtained from the spoils of war obtained by killing Dao Saints, God Emperors, etc., while the common auras were deduced by Lu Tao and collected from the world of rules.

Finally, through continuous prayer, Lu Tao obtained the extremely perfect method for refining puppets according to the Heavenly Dao.

It has to be said.

Having previously killed thirty-seven Dao Saints and over a thousand God Emperors, the Immortal Sect had indeed reaped a very rich harvest, gathering all sorts of precious auras.

"No wonder I didn't notice any problems on the path to becoming a Dao Saint when I prayed before. So that's why."

Lu Tao nodded to himself.

Long before, Lu Tao had prayed for his advancement to Dao Saint and found that there would be no problem.

Therefore, he did not realize that the destruction of the Heavenly Dao would affect the arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation.

If the fragment of the Heavenly Dao hadn't mentioned it itself, Lu Tao wouldn't even have known.

at the same time.

Lu Tao was secretly relieved.

Fortunately, this fragment of the Heavenly Dao was careless and wanted to help Haotian one last time before it collapsed.

Lu Tao guessed that it must have discovered several Chaos Martial Cultivators from the Immortal Sect, guessed that he had some kind of opportunity, and that his cultivation speed was extremely fast.

Therefore, they wanted Haotian to come and capture them, who were only at the peak of the God Emperor realm.

Once you obtain the opportunity from Lu Tao, you will definitely be able to restore the Chaos Dao to perfection in a very short time. Coupled with the means to quickly improve your cultivation, you will soon be able to cultivate to the perfection of Dao Saint.

At that time.

If Haotian regains control of this realm and attacks the Dao Venerable from within his own inner world, his chances of victory will be extremely high.

The mark it left on Number 4 was used to locate Haotian.

Under normal circumstances, no matter where Lu Tao and his group were hiding, Haotian would have found them, but unfortunately, it underestimated Lu Tao.

It has to be said.

The fragments of the Heavenly Dao were actually quite risky, and Lu Tao knew that this was what the fragments of the Heavenly Dao had just mentioned—Haotian's arrogance.

Even though it was a puppet of the Heavenly Dao crafted from a remnant soul, even now that it has become a fragment, it still seems to retain Haotian's arrogant personality.

certainly……

Even if the fragment of the Heavenly Dao didn't risk contacting Lu Tao, Lu Tao would still be able to discover in a very short time that the Heavenly Tribulation could not be brought down after the Heavenly Dao disappeared.

At that time, he will also try to create a Heavenly Dao.

It's just that, relatively speaking, it will be much more troublesome.

Finding a way to refine the puppet Heavenly Dao, or obtaining the remnant soul of Haotian, would be much more troublesome than it is now.

"Phew—it seems that even if the Heavenly Dao perishes, my luck is still pretty good."

Lu Tao sighed inwardly.

Faith, merit, and other such things are indeed very useful.

Lu Tao stopped thinking about it and ordered his clone to begin refining puppets, small worlds, and small thousand worlds.

They were instructed to refine all the low-grade and high-grade materials they obtained from the powerful figures of the Heavenly Court and the Divine Dynasty into these items.

Even using some Saint-level materials, Lu Tao generously allowed his clone to use them to refine these three items.

Then give them experience points and level them up to the same level as the God Emperor.

Meanwhile, his true self continued his secluded cultivation.

His essence, energy, and spirit have all reached the pinnacle of the Divine Emperor realm; he is only lacking the true essence.

Buzz!

With time accelerated by 16.7 billion times, Lu Tao and the other disciples of the Immortal Sect all entered into secluded cultivation.

The entire Immortal Sect fell silent once again.

This time, I'm going into seclusion.

All the disciples of the Immortal Sect are doing their utmost to cultivate, and dare not slack off in the slightest.

The disappearance of the Heavenly Dao prevented the Heavenly Tribulation from descending, and the threats from Haotian and Daozun added immense pressure to them.

This pressure is unprecedented.

They hoped to cultivate to the peak of the God Emperor realm as soon as possible, so that they could help the sect leader before he could create the Puppet Heavenly Dao.

Time, like the seven emotions and six desires, comes quickly in the long journey of life, and seems to go quickly as well.

In the blink of an eye, millions of years have passed.

Buzz—

As a wave spread, Lu Tao, who had been dormant for seven or eight million years, awoke from his cultivation.

"call--"

Lu Tao exhaled a long breath, feeling the true essence within his body, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"Becoming a God Emperor at the Perfected stage is easy, simple, and quick!"

Lu Tao sighed.

From transcending tribulation to becoming a God Emperor, to cultivating to the perfection of God Emperor, compared to the previous major realms, his experience during this period can be described as weak.

This also led Lu Tao to feel that cultivation was both simple and quick.

Lu Tao knew that this was because time was accelerated too quickly. A time difference of 16.7 billion times was simply too exaggerated. Not much time had passed in the outside world, yet he had already completed a major realm of cultivation.

"It's time to refine the Puppet Heavenly Dao!"

Lu Tao stood up and instantly appeared in a certain starry sky in the vast world.

And here...

It is filled with countless puppets, worlds of rules, and the vast universe.

They are all intelligent beings, yet they are extremely quiet when piled up here.

They only stirred when Lu Tao appeared: "Greetings, Sect Master!"

The enormous chants of worship echoed throughout the entire starry sky.

Leaving aside the world of rules and the vast world, they appear to be nothing more than beads, hidden in the void, taking up very little space.

But the countless puppets, each possessing the cultivation of a perfected God Emperor, looked like an army of God Emperors from afar.

It fills the entire starry sky.

Looking out, even martial gods and celestial beings, let alone ordinary people, probably couldn't see the end.

But Lu Tao could tell at a glance that there were hundreds of millions of such powerful puppets.

If this gets out, probably no one will believe it.

Lu Tao stood before all the puppets, nodded slightly, and said, "All spiritual consciousness and the will of heaven and earth, withdraw!"

Buzz!

In an instant, the consciousness of countless puppets, as well as the will of heaven and earth of the world of rules and the vast world, were all collected by Lu Tao into the system space.

But their bodies remain in this starry sky.

Lu Tao glanced at the many bodies, then without lingering, he teleported to another void.

here……

He Yuanshuang and the others had been suppressing the remnants of the Heavenly Dao for more than two hours.

"My husband!"

He Yuanshuang spotted Lu Tao immediately, and the others greeted him excitedly as well.

Lu Tao laughed and said, "Bring it into the cave to suppress it, and I will refine the puppet Heavenly Dao!"

"good!"

Everyone was very excited and immediately worked together to transport the fragment of the Heavenly Dao to the weapon-refining room in the cave.

Buzz—

Instantly, Lu Tao took out the various collected auras and began to melt and fuse them one by one according to the refining methods of the Heavenly Dao...

Lu Tao refined the process meticulously, ensuring that any element could be successfully fused without any errors.

but.

As before, Lu Tao did not refine it perfectly, keeping its grade slightly lower so that the Heavenly Dao could be strengthened by gaining experience and leveling up.

In fact, with the puppet-making technique that Lu Tao had obtained through his prayers, he could have created a very powerful puppet-making technique if he had a good soul.

But unfortunately...

The fragment of the Heavenly Dao was far too incomplete. Without multiple upgrades from the system, its aura was far too weak. Even if it were to occupy the position of the Heavenly Dao in the Haotian world, it would still be unable to bring Lu Tao a perfect Heavenly Tribulation.

Unless it's upgraded through a system upgrade, allowing its aura to be enhanced multiple times, it won't work.

and.

System upgrades alone are not enough; other spiritual awareness and the will of heaven and earth are also needed.

Buzz!

As time passed, several months later, all the various scents blended together flawlessly.

Lu Tao nodded to He Yuanshuang and the others.

The group understood and immediately took control of the Chaos Dao, incorporating the fragments of the Heavenly Dao into it. They were very careful.

"Lu Tao, you won't succeed!"

The fragment of the Heavenly Dao merged into various auras, and sensing their state, it couldn't help but sneer.

In its view, the combination of these auras was indeed perfect, but if Lu Tao wanted to refine the Heavenly Dao that could attract a perfect Heavenly Tribulation based solely on these, it was simply a pipe dream.

Even so.

It still wanted to collapse, not wanting to give Lu Tao any chance of success.

Unfortunately, it couldn't achieve its goal.

Enveloped by numerous auras, it even lost control of its mind, being affected by these auras.

This made it very angry.

Lu Tao ignored the fragments of the Heavenly Dao and instead released groups of spiritual consciousness and the will of heaven and earth from the system space.

Go, merge into it!

Following Lu Tao's command, these spiritual senses and the will of heaven and earth rushed into the chaotic aura before them, as if they were moths to a flame.

In an instant.

One by one, spiritual consciousness and the will of heaven and earth, without any hesitation or struggle, abandoned themselves and actively merged into the body of the fragment of the Heavenly Dao.

Let his aura rise and rise and rise again.

"How is this possible?"

The fragment of the Heavenly Dao was stunned, as if it could not believe that so many spiritual consciousnesses and the will of heaven and earth would work together to make such a selfless act.

That's incredible.

As its own aura surged wildly, it vaguely realized that Lu Tao might actually be able to refine a powerful puppet Heavenly Dao with just a wisp of its aura.

This drove it to desperately try to collapse, but it still couldn't achieve its goal.

"Where did these things come from? How can they all obey your commands so obediently?"

The fragment of the Heavenly Dao roared wildly, but Lu Tao paid it no heed.

That's how it is.

Countless spiritual consciousnesses and the will of heaven and earth completely regarded themselves as nourishment, offering their 'spirituality' to the fragments of the Heavenly Dao.

Without complaint, they all merged into the fragments of the Heavenly Dao, taking the fragments of the Heavenly Dao as their primary consciousness.

final……

Several more months have passed.

With a buzzing sound from the weapon-refining room, the Puppet Heavenly Dao... was successfully refined!
