The expenditure of spiritual power was immense! Mo Li Shen Zun needed three days to recover.
Yuan Bi Long, along with Xiao Ning and Ming Zhi Tian, returned to the hidden Yuan family. For three days, Mo Li Shen Zun recuperated here.
Meanwhile, Ming Zhi Tian was not idle. He continued to study the art of mechanisms, attempting to find flaws that could lead to a breakthrough.
During this time, he invited the Yin Yang ancestor, Yuan Qi Long, for a chat, hoping to glean the secret techniques of the Ten Thousand Layer Pass.
However, Yuan Qi Long smiled and shook his head, "Apologies, young friend Ming, these are secrets that our Yuan family ancestors have never shared. Please forgive me."
Ming Zhi Tian did not press further, "It's alright, I was just asking."
Three days later, Mo Li Shen Zun's spiritual power had fully recovered. Ming Zhi Tian, who had been hesitant to disturb him before, could no longer suppress his curiosity and asked,
"Shen Zun, has the Yin Yang family truly been annihilated by you?"
Mo Li Shen Zun frowned slightly, "Are you doubting this venerable one?"
Ming Zhi Tian waved his hand, "Just curious."
Mo Li Shen Zun casually gestured, and an image appeared out of thin air. In the image, Mo Li Shen Zun's hands were filled with primordial spiritual power. As he clasped them together, the entire Yin Yang family, spanning over a hundred kilometers, instantly turned to dust.
Ming Zhi Tian was stunned, "Is this the power of a Shen Neng Zhe? It seems I must cultivate diligently and ascend to the Shen Wei realm as soon as possible."
Mo Li Shen Zun cast a look of disdain, "The Shen Wei realm is your ambition? You will not progress beyond that."
Ming Zhi Tian felt content, "To possess such might as Shen Zun, I believe that is sufficient."
Mo Li Shen Zun shook his head, "Do you think this venerable one's current strength is his peak? No, though I am now at the first level of the Shen Wei realm, I am less than one ten-thousandth of my full power."
"!!"
Mo Li Shen Zun continued, "Do you believe this venerable one's divine abilities rely solely on this meager Shen Wei realm? No, quite the opposite. If not for the limitations of the Shen Wei realm on my spiritual power, why would I need three days to recover? In your eyes, three days is not much time, but to me, three days is too wasteful. I could use these three days to accomplish more meaningful tasks."
"For example... breaking through my cultivation. Of course, I am still a puppet now, so all this is in vain."
Ming Zhi Tian vowed, "I promise you, I will help you return to your peak."
Mo Li Shen Zun gave a disdainful smile, "What use is it to return to my full glory? My regret remains, and cannot be mended."
Ming Zhi Tian naturally understood what he was referring to, "Have you forgotten what I do?"
Mo Li Shen Zun, not understanding, asked, "What?"
Ming Zhi Tian smiled faintly, "Since I could revive you, it means..."
"!"
Mo Li Shen Zun seemed to realize something, "You mean..."
Ming Zhi Tian nodded, "Exactly. As long as you provide me with a corpse, I can perfectly replicate them in a puppet state for you. I can even set them to have a free form, uncontrolled by anyone. Then you will be reunited with your beloved."
Mo Li Shen Zun asked with uncertainty, "Can it truly be done?"
Ming Zhi Tian nodded vigorously, "Of course. As long as you wish it, you can meet at any time."
Mo Li Shen Zun suddenly felt afraid, afraid of losing more, "No, I cannot lose her again. Before I return to my full strength, I cannot see her. Little one, promise me."
Ming Zhi Tian was puzzled, "Promise what?"
Mo Li Shen Zun said, "Not now. I do not have the ability to protect her. When I return to my peak, then I will need you to help this venerable one revive her. This is my only regret."
