226 Gimmick Puppe (1/2)

It was absolutely silent in the cave. Even the sound of the wind was absent. The cave seemed like a completely sealed vacuum.

There was a dragonfly on the stone step. Mo Wen looked at the dragonfly thoughtfully, and then he stepped onto the flight of stone steps.

The moment he did so, a terrifying pressure came from above and violently crashed onto Mo Wen's body. It felt as though the galaxy had fallen onto the highest part of heaven and then banged down onto Mo Wen.

Mo Wen's body swayed from side to side and nearly fell from the stone steps. However, the next moment, a massive Inner Qi burst forth from his body. Two golden and black streaks of light swept out, causing the stones and sand in the surroundings to whirl and collide with the terrifying pressure.

After he had used all his cultivation to its extreme, his body was stabilized again. He stood upright on the stone step and then walked up one step after another.

The pressure seemed to increase a little with every step he took, but the increase wasn't much. It was almost negligible. However, while the increase for one step was not big, the increase for a hundred steps… a thousand steps… and what if there were an endless number of steps?

The steps before his eyes seemed endless, and regardless of how long he walked, he couldn't seem to find the end.

Mo Wen curled his lips, as similar assessments were very common, and he had seen them before in the Immortal Cultivation world. The purpose of the flight of steps was actually very simple. Firstly, it would eliminate those candidates with insufficient cultivation, as the pressure from above could only be withstood by those with at least Qi Nucleation realm cultivation.

If one couldn't even withstand the pressure, there naturally wouldn't be a need to proceed with the rest of the assessment.

Secondly, it would assess a person's patience and perseverance. Though the stone steps looked endless, it was impossible for them to be endless, as they were not in the perilous prohibited area but were in an assessment. There wouldn't be any unresolvable checkmate situation here.

Mo Wen walked up the stone steps one after another without any emotion on his face. His eyes were calm, and his actions were natural. However, the higher he went, the stronger the pressure was, but he didn't seem to feel it at all.

Not knowing how long he had walked, the path before him remained endless. However, when Mo Wen once again took a step, the scene in front of him suddenly changed, as if a layer of misty cloud had been pushed aside. The endless stone step path gradually disappeared from his eyes.

An enormous space appeared before Mo Wen. He swept his eyes across the surroundings and realized that the space was as big as two football fields. It was surrounded by ancient, white stone walls, and the whole space was empty without any furnishings.

Mo Wen knew that he should be in the space inside the stone tower, and the scene just now might only be an illusion.

He naturally knew the wondrous tricks of the Immortal Cultivators, so regardless of whatever appeared, there was nothing to be curious about.

A strange sound of clashing metal suddenly broke the silence of the space, and an equally strange sound of rhythmical footsteps immediately followed.

Mo Wen's eyes narrowed as he abruptly looked into a patch of darkness. In that darkness, something sparkling gradually walked out, accompanied by the clashing sounds of the metal.

Once the thing had completely emerged from the darkness, Mo Wen was able to see it clearly. It was a navy blue Metal Monster that looked like a robot with four limbs, a head, and eyes.

Its eyes were like rubies, and they emitted a cold and weird red light. Once the monster had appeared, its head twisted clumsily, and those red eyes fixed on Mo Wen. It then slowly moved in Mo Wen's direction.

”Puppet!”

Shock flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. Without a doubt, that thing was definitely a puppet. He had experienced puppets before when he was in the Divine Pill Sect, but very few people liked this kind of puppet thing because most of time, the puppet was equivalent to one's doppelganger; the higher the puppet's level was, the more spirituality it had.

However, Mo Wen was only a normal Registered disciple, so he was not qualified to have such a sophisticated thing. At most, he had an understanding of it.

In the Immortal Cultivation world, there was an inexhaustible supply of wondrous things, so there was a possibility of the emergence of anything. The puppet was considered a most common, ordinary thing. Many Immortal Cultivators had been proficient in puppetry and were able to manufacture puppets for different uses, but most of the time, they were there to assist in their master's fights.

Therefore, puppets usually had a very strong fighting capacity. The higher the Cultivation of the Immortal Cultivator, the stronger the puppet they owned.

This puppet in front of Mo Wen should be a low grade puppet, as he couldn't feel any strong fluctuation of spiritual pressure from its body.

Even so, the puppet before him remained difficult to deal with. After all, this thing belonged to the Immortal Cultivation world and not the secular world.

Once the puppet appeared, it obviously had locked onto its target. Its bloody red eyes were constantly focused on Mo Wen.

The next moment, a streak of blue light flashed on the puppet before two cutlasses suddenly shot out of its arms and appeared in its big robotic hands.

Almost simultaneously, two gleams of light flashed on the cutlasses. Two terrifying gusts of wind from the left and the right instantly swept across over a distance of dozens of miles.

Mo Wen's mouth twitched as those two gleams of the cutlasses were each equivalent to the attack of a top notch ancient martial arts practitioner of the Embryonic Breathing realm using all their might. Merely a Four stars assessment had the emergence of such a powerful puppet. Huatian Palace's Executor levels were indeed very stringent.

He didn't collide with the two gleams of the cutlasses. With such terrifying gusts of cutlasses' Qi sweeping across, he didn't intend to have that stroke of bad luck.

His feet used the Inch Travel Steps, and his figure flashed and moved horizontally seven to eight miles away. In the next flash, he was thoroughly out of the coverage region of the cutlasses' Qi.

However, he didn't stop. He took another step with an inch to 1,000 miles, then he leapt a distance of dozens of miles. With two steps, he was in front of the blue puppet.
