Chapter 236: What? This thing can be used to fight Saint Child? (4000 words)

"Master... why are you here?"

Upon hearing Dugu Qingqian's voice, Li Zuoyue shivered and quickly hid the Soul Dueling Machine in his hand behind his back, smiling awkwardly.

"What are you hiding?" Dugu Qingqian glanced at him and asked.

"Nothing... nothing!" Li Zuoyue felt a little guilty. Recently, Master seemed to have a big problem with Junior Brother Wang Xiu, and this Soul Dueling Machine was created by Junior Brother Wang Xiu. If it was discovered, who knows how angry Master would be!

"Give it to me!" Dugu Qingqian reached out her hand, her tone calm but imposing.

Li Zuoyue swallowed his saliva and finally succumbed to the power of his master. He handed over the item.

"Hmm?"

Dugu Qingqian took the Soul Dueling Machine and raised an eyebrow, her expression slightly serious.

On this palm-sized token, there were incredibly complex and mysterious patterns engraved, giving people a sense of extraordinariness.

"What is this?" Dugu Qingqian asked.

"Soul Dueling Machine!" Li Zuoyue answered truthfully.

"What is it?" Dugu Qingqian raised an eyebrow, never having heard of it.

"It's... a new mechanism puppet developed by Junior Brother Wang Xiu. It can be used to hone one's Dao techniques!" Li Zuoyue hurriedly explained, "I'm not slacking off, I'm using this thing to sharpen my swordsmanship. The effect is very good! Much faster than practicing sword every day..."

"Nonsense!"

Upon hearing Wang Xiu's name, Dugu Qingqian became angry, especially when Li Zuoyue said something so absurd. Her cold and proud face showed a hint of anger. "How many times have I told you?"

On the path of cultivation, one must avoid being overly ambitious and seeking shortcuts!

Especially in my swordsmanship, in order to reach the pinnacle of the sword, one must step on solid ground, have a firm Sword Heart, overcome countless difficulties, and endure bone-chilling cold...

Only then can one achieve success!

By relying on external forces, even if there is some temporary achievement, how far can you go?"

"Master..." Li Zuoyue wanted to defend himself, but was scolded from head to toe by his master. He shrunk his neck and tried to explain.

"You really disappoint me!" Dugu Qingqian looked at Li Zuoyue, shaking her head slowly, her eyes filled with disappointment.

"But Junior Brother Wang Xiu..." Li Zuoyue tried to say.

"How dare you mention him?" Dugu Qingqian said angrily, "I told you not to associate with him! He is the future Saint Child, a twelve-colored Nascent Soul. Even if he only cultivates for an hour every day and spends the rest of the time studying these strange techniques, his future achievements will surpass yours..."

"Have you ever thought about how far you can go by following him?"

Li Zuoyue felt frustrated. "Why should I compare myself to Junior Brother Wang Xiu? We are not rivals! If I can't compare to him, then I can't... "

"Nonsense! The Great Dao is like a river, with countless boats competing. If you don't advance, you retreat. Do I need to repeat such a principle?"

As a swordsman, one should have a proud sword spirit, an invincible Sword Heart, and overcome all difficulties.

By willingly falling into such decadence, how can you become a great talent?"

Li Zuoyue muttered softly, "But you have been competing with Senior Brother Luo for a lifetime and have never won..."

As soon as these words came out, Dugu Qingqian's face stiffened, and black lines appeared on her forehead.

In an instant, Li Zuoyue felt himself enveloped in a thick killing intent, his scalp tingling and his whole body trembling.

"Cough, Master! This Soul Dueling Machine is really useful. I dare not deceive you. Why don't you try it yourself?"

Li Zuoyue shivered and quickly changed the topic.

"Hmph! I am wholeheartedly devoted to the sword. I will never touch such strange and clever things!" Dugu Qingqian raised her head, her proud spirit shining through. Her slender legs were as straight as a sword, shining in the sunlight.

"Uh, I heard that there is an imprint left by Junior Brother Wang Xiu himself in this Soul Dueling Machine..." Li Zuoyue's eyes darted around as he said this.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Qingqian suddenly turned her head. "Is that true?"

Li Zuoyue nodded.

Dugu Qingqian asked, "Can it be used for fighting?"

Li Zuoyue said, "Of course, as long as you can defeat it, you can hang it up and fight!"

Indeed.

He believed that as long as the Master put aside prejudice and felt the magic of the Soul Dueling Machine, he would definitely be able to quickly experience its mysteries.

"Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Dugu Qingqian picked up the Soul Dueling Machine, a fighting spirit gleaming in her eyes.

Li Zuoyue: "......"

She looked at it back and forth for a while, then suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, Master?" Li Zuoyue's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she changed her mind again?

"Well, how do you use this?" After hesitating for a long time, Dugu Qingqian asked awkwardly.

"......"

...

On Dragon Head Peak.

In the main hall of the council.

Zhuo Canglang looked around, and almost every high-ranking member of the Immortal Gate had a Soul Dueling Machine in their hands.

"Oh no... just a little bit more!"

"I've been stuck on level 66 for a long time, always just a little bit short!"

"Heh, useless, I've already reached level 67!"

"......"

It was very lively here, everyone was having a great time.

They were talking back and forth, just like in a market.

"Cough cough cough..."

Zhuo Canglang cleared his throat, signaling everyone to stop.

However, people just looked up at him and then lowered their heads to continue.

"Fox demon, you're amazing!"

"This demon is too tough, tough as nails... how did you pass the ancient demon elephant on level 65?"

"The demon elephant has immense power and strong defense, but it's not invincible. Try attacking its weak spot!"

"It really works!"

"......"

Zhuo Canglang: "......"

Helpless, he coughed loudly again.

Attracted everyone's attention.

"Junior brothers, stop and talk about your experiences!" He spoke first.

Upon hearing this, everyone reluctantly put down their Soul Dueling Machines.

"What can I say? I haven't had such a thrilling battle in at least two hundred years. It's like going back to my youth!" an elder sighed.

"This Soul Dueling Machine created by the Saint Child is simply marvelous. We don't have to worry about dying, we can fully immerse ourselves in the battle. Honestly, if I had such a treasure when I was young, I wouldn't have stopped at this level!"

Another person sighed, causing everyone to resonate.

"The most important thing is the rewards after each level. It can accelerate our understanding of the Dao and bring new insights into our Divine Abilities. This is the most precious thing, comparable to the supreme elixir!"

Someone exclaimed, their eyes shining, having experienced that extraordinary feeling.

"It's similar to the Divine Demon Wall painting, but even better! It can be popularized..." the head of the Shadow Vein praised.

The Divine Demon Wall painting is an ancient relic that only appears in the Holy Realm.

And it is not fixed in the mortal world, not every group of geniuses who enter have such an opportunity.

Even if one has the opportunity to encounter divine and demonic murals, those with slightly inferior aptitude and insufficient opportunities still cannot comprehend anything from them.

However, the Soul Dueling Machine is different. No matter how mediocre one's abilities are, as long as enough time is spent within it, the improvement in strength is evident.

Moreover, the inscriptions of the Dao in the Soul Dueling Machine are clearly visible, making the comprehension of Dao methods smoother.

Most importantly, it seems that the Soul Dueling Machine can be mass-produced, which is an advantage that divine and demonic murals cannot match.

"If every disciple of the Immortal Gate were to use the Soul Dueling Machine, in the long run, the revival of the Three Purities would be a given. We could even surpass the past glory and reach new heights!" A beautiful female leader was very excited, her chest heaving and her face flushed.

Everyone sincerely praised and recognized the significance represented by the Soul Dueling Machine.

It is enough to allow the Three Purities Immortal Gate to return to its peak.

"The only regret is that the strongest power that can be displayed in this Soul Dueling Machine is only at the Nascent Soul stage... Our cultivation is suppressed within it, and we cannot use all our means!" A female leader expressed some disappointment.

"I heard that the Soul Dueling Machines produced by the Manipulation Lineage are all like this. Only the Soul Dueling Machines personally made by the Saint Child can meet the needs of cultivators above Astral Projection!"

Wang Xiu has only made a few of those high-level Soul Dueling Machines.

They were not able to be popularized.

"It's already very good... There's no need to expect more!"

"But there is one problem. With such a treasure, if the Saint Child sets the price and sells it for only five hundred spirit stones, it will probably be difficult to make a profit," someone suddenly frowned.

When this was said, everyone was stunned, thinking that this was reasonable.

No matter how you think about it, the cost of the Soul Dueling Machine would never be just five hundred spirit stones.

"Hahaha... This is where the Saint Child's vision lies!"

Laughter came from outside the hall, and Gongshu Wumao, the leader of the Manipulation Lineage, walked in with big strides, surveying the crowd. "I believe everyone has already realized that if the Saint Child really wants to earn spirit stones from this, even if it is sold as a Supreme Grade Spirit Weapon, there will be many people who want such a treasure... But the Saint Child said that the original intention of developing this Soul Dueling Machine is to sharpen the Great Dao of many disciples and quickly improve their strength! If the price is set too high and the disciples cannot afford it, what is the point?"

After a pause, Gongshu Wumao continued, "Of course, you can rest assured that after many days of research and discussion between me and the Saint Child, we have developed a mature system! The material cost of manufacturing the Soul Dueling Machine has been minimized. Selling it for five hundred spirit stones will definitely not make a profit, but there will be no loss either."

In the end, the most precious thing about the Soul Dueling Machine is the crystal core chip inside.

The material of the chip was made by Wang Xiu using the stones that carried the divine and demonic murals, fused with other materials, and then refined with various inscriptions.

Everything else is secondary, and many substitutes can be found to minimize the cost.

A total of 108 divine and demonic murals were carved on ancient stone walls hundreds of zhang high, and for now, the core materials are sufficient.

When they are exhausted, Wang Xiu estimates that he will be able to find other materials to replace them.

Upon hearing Gongshu Wumao's explanation, everyone suddenly realized.

Zhuo Canglang couldn't help but sigh, "The Saint Child's righteousness!"

Putting themselves in Wang Xiu's shoes, even if they didn't set an exorbitant price for the Soul Dueling Machine, they would definitely not sell it at such a low price.

This is a true gold mine.

Enough to make ancient forces at the level of the Immortal Gate tremble.

"Saint Child's righteousness, we admire it!" Everyone spoke in unison, their words full of sincerity and admiration.

"However, we still need to discuss with him later. It's fine to sell it at this price within our own sect, but we can't let outsiders take it so cheaply," Zhuo Canglang calculated in his heart.

Even if they don't ask for an exorbitant price, they can't let outsiders take it so cheaply.

"By the way, Senior Gongshu!" a leader suddenly asked, "How many levels are there in this Soul Dueling Machine?"

Upon hearing this question, many people became interested and perked up their ears.

Gongshu Wumao said, "The version you all have in your hands has three difficulty levels: [Easy], [Difficult], and [Hell], with one hundred levels for each difficulty. Only after clearing the previous difficulty can the next one be unlocked."

"What?"

"No way?"

"A total of three hundred levels? Each level is harder than the previous one?"

Everyone was shocked. Their strength was not weak, but they were currently stuck at around dozens of levels.

Originally, they thought they were doing well, having killed dozens of powerful beasts ahead.

But now they learned that they couldn't even pass the simplest difficulty.

"Saint Child has clearly divided the difficulty of each level. The level you are stuck at roughly means... where your strength ranks among those of the same realm!" Gongshu Wumao slowly spoke, and then added with a meaningful tone, "By the way, if you are willing, after clearing the simple difficulty, you can summon the imprint left by Saint Child and have a match with Saint Child personally!"

"Is that so?"

"Does that mean we can compete with Saint Child at the same realm?"

"Saint Child is really confident. It means he believes he is already at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, fearless of challenges from anyone in the world?"

"Haha, what are you joking about? Twelve-colored Nascent Soul, don't I have the qualifications?"

"That's right, I, Three Purities Saint Child, am worthy of it! Below all living beings, above no one..."

"In that case, I'm even more motivated to strive through the levels and reach Saint Child..."

"I also want to give it a try. What's the difference with the twelve-colored Nascent Soul!"

Everyone was excited, their fighting spirit surging.

They didn't expect that they could still fight against Saint Child.

This was too exciting!

"How old are all of you combined? You actually want to compare with a junior? Are you not concerned about losing face?" Zhuo Canglang raised an eyebrow, showing displeasure.

Then he turned around and left, flicking his sleeve.

The people looked at each other in silence.

The scene fell into silence.

Zhuo Canglang quickly returned to his own palace.

Then he hurriedly took out a Soul Dueling Machine and opened it, saying, "Charge, Wang Xiu, let me see... how big the gap between you and me really is!"

...

On Thunder Sound Peak.

"What did you say? After clearing the simple difficulty, you can have a battle with Wang Xiu?" Ji Yan was surprised when he heard the news.

"Yes, father!" Ji Kunpeng nodded and handed over a Soul Dueling Machine, saying, "Why don't you give it a try?"

"Haha, what a joke. With my status, how could I think of challenging my son-in-law? What would others think if it got out?" Ji Yan said with dignity.

"Rest assured, father. As long as you don't say anything, it won't spread, and no one will know..." Ji Kunpeng said.

Ji Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "Is that so?"

Ji Kunpeng nodded, "Of course!"

"Haha, you little brat, trying to sow discord between me and my good son-in-law... You can leave now, I won't fall for it!" Ji Yan glanced at him and insisted.

"Ah!" Ji Kunpeng pouted and prepared to leave.

"Wait!" Ji Yan suddenly spoke, "Leave the Soul Dueling Machine! Suddenly, I'm interested in puppetry and want to study it!"

Ji Kunpeng: "..."

...

The same scene was happening in various branches of the Three Purities Immortal Gate.

Overnight.

Wang Xiu suddenly became the "enemy of the Three Purities" once again!
