Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1235 - 23: The Debt-ridden Venerable’s Fighting Spirit—Did the Soul Test Bug Out? (11,000) (Part 2)

Putta is skilled at creating Daoist Soldiers with autonomous consciousness.

"The Tian Qi Soul Device, created by a master from the Purple God Mansion of the Yuanhai Ancient Country. I've heard that Putta acquired this master's legacy, and that he should be capable of making soul device fragments. Otherwise, Qing Yu Zi wouldn't have left so many soul device fragments. He even created the [Purple God Puppet], with combat power comparable to the Origin Realm."

"The mechanical divine power left by Putta..." Zhao Xing closed his eyes and felt. He had already entered the interior of the Purple God Relics.

Now he was within the coverage area of the Qing Yu Zi Dojo, and as an inheritor, he could sense the situation of Putta's inheritance trial.

"The one progressing the fastest through the trial is not a Mechanical Master from my dynasty?"

Zhao Xing saw a scene of palatial complexes, with many bald mechanical masters contemplating in different palace groups, creating and understanding.

Some were deep in thought, while others flew up and down in front of a hundred-meter mechanism, installing parts.

"To pass the second trial, there are nine palaces in total; fully completing them counts as passing the second trial. Among them, three people have already reached the seventh mechanical palace."

"These three are Junior Director Chen Ju, from the Golden Feather Royal Court 'Yu Feiyang', and Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate from the White Bone Sect."

"Among them, Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate's progress is surprisingly the fastest, entering the seventh mechanical palace ten years earlier than the other two!"

Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised. Sixty-five mechanical masters entered the second trial, the majority of whom were in the first three palaces.

Only nine people were in the fourth to sixth mechanical palaces.

In the seventh mechanical palace, there were only three, indicating a huge watershed between the sixth and seventh palaces.

"King Shenluo is in the sixth mechanical palace, yet Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate has reached the seventh palace. Isn't he bankrupt?" Zhao Xing was somewhat astonished.

With a thought, he zoomed in on the view before him, focusing on the seventh mechanical palace where Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate was.

He couldn't interfere with the other two inheritances, but listening and watching was not problematic.

Deep inside the seventh mechanical palace.

"Ka-ka-ka~" Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate jumped down from a high platform, glancing at his masterpiece. "The method and form are divine, the original array is truly exquisite."

In the depths of the mechanical palace, countless gems emitting an eerie blue light were embedded in the surrounding walls, illuminating the entire space like a dream.

Within the palace, various exquisite mechanisms were displayed, some rotating, some telescoping, emitting faint metallic friction sounds, akin to a unique symphony.

After watching for a while, Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate ran to the display area, fully focusing on studying a mechanical puppet.

The puppet's form was towering, entirely forged from a mysterious purple-gold metal, shimmering with a captivating sheen in the dim light.

Its joints were embedded with tiny, intricate gears, each densely inscribed with runes, seemingly surging with mysterious power as they circulated.

"The core array of this puppet is still not perfect, but imperfection is the key to passing the trial. The [Purple God Puppet Mechanism Array Diagram] left by Putta contains a total of thirty-six thousand types of scattered parts, and scattered parts are naturally imperfect!"

"Seemingly perfect scattered parts are indeed traps. Imperfection is the only way to create a Purple God!"

Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate's eyes, emitting a ghostly light, stared intently at the puppet, his gaze flickering with fanaticism and dedication. His hands, like nimble spiritual snakes, weaved across the puppet's body, at times tapping lightly, at times caressing, as if engaging in a silent dialogue with the puppet.

His workbench was filled with peculiar tools, including a crystal chisel that released strange energies, and a spiritual silk that could detect energy fluctuations.

"The debts I've incurred are like a burden of cause and effect, the pressure surrounds me like an ocean, drowning me in a sea of suffering, making it hard to breathe."

"Now, no one can stop me from reaching the shore!"

"As long as I can obtain the final inheritance, I won't have to return to the molten lava and refine artifacts day and night to repay my debts!"

Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate growled.

"Everything I've lost, I will reclaim!!"

Zhao Xing listened and watched, unable to help but laugh and cry.

"This guy gets himself pumped up like this every day?"

"Poverty makes people stronger, indeed."

Back then, he had tricked Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate, leading to an overwhelming amount of debt from the Jing Emperor Period, so much that it couldn't be repaid in a lifetime!

Originally, Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate was the next Sect Master of the White Bone Divine Sect, but after that incident, even the position of Sect Master was given to another heir.

He didn't even manage to become Deputy Sect Master, which his junior brother Red Bone Heavenly Venerate took away from him.

But unexpectedly, fifty-eight years ago, a turn of events occurred!

First, his junior brother Red Bone Heavenly Venerate died, then he received orders allowing him to temporarily leave the molten lava forging space and participate in the contest for inheritance.

Of course, there was a certain life risk involved.

His junior brother Red Bone had died competing with Great Zhou, akin to snatching food from the mouth of a tiger.

However, Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate agreed without hesitation.

Instead of working off his debts perpetually in a dark, subterranean environment, he'd rather take a chance and push himself.

Thus, after Great Zhou signed a peace treaty with the Outer Alliance, Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate entered the relics.

He chose Putta's legacy trial, driven by the motivation to be debt-free, and one step at a time, he reached his current state, leading everyone!

"The sixteenth thousand eight hundred and fiftieth time, stuck at one of the key components, the 'Eye of Origin' array diagram. This time, I can do it, I definitely can!"
