I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 177 - 123: Martial Arts Puppet Self-Destructs, Ancient Relic Emerges! (Part 2)
At the moment Long Ba and Feng Jiu self-destructed, he lost sight of the scene and was unaware of the situation above ground.
He wasn’t sure if the Ghost-eyed Child survived or if he was searching for him all over the city.
What he could do was keep digging tunnels, ensuring his own safety.
"It’s close... first dig five thousand feet deep, then dig outwards beyond the array..."
Lin Chen silently thought.
He was uncertain whether the Ten Thousand Ghosts Bewitching Array could cover the underground.
At this depth of several thousand feet underground, he found it difficult to determine his position.
...
Several days later.
Deep down at five thousand feet, Lin Chen stopped his actions.
"Hmm, the depth should be about right... time to dig towards the direction outside the array..."
Lin Chen barely sensed a little and could roughly determine he was digging in the southeast direction.
So he continued to dig in the same direction.
Another day passed, and Lin Chen stopped digging forward.
Stowing away the Black Hoe, Lin Chen smacked his lips and exclaimed:
"This Martial Spirit Black Hoe given by Elder Jiang, its offensive and defensive power is still unknown... but its efficiency in digging is superb!"
"Paired with Earth Escape Technique, it’s twice the result with half the effort!"
He looked at the countdown on his arm that was about to reset, silently waiting.
As the countdown reached zero, Lin Chen’s vision shifted.
...
Great Xia Country, Martial Arts Palace.
Lin Chen returned, covered in ash and dirt.
Upon seeing Lin Chen’s appearance, Wang Lishan and others finally relaxed their tense hearts.
"You’re back! It’s good to be back..."
Lin Chen looked at the laughter around, feeling a bit gloomy at heart.
"Don’t mention it, Uncle Wang, this time I really went overboard..."
Lin Chen sighed and recounted his experiences in the Cultivation Realm.
Wang Lishan, Wang Xinyu, and others listened with their hearts pounding in fear.
"It’s okay, you came back alive, that’s what matters..."
Wang Lishan consoled, adding:
"Given the current situation, your digging tactics were effective... there should be no immediate threats."
"As for the next plan, it will be predicted by the think tank."
"I reckon, the worst scenario is just you staying underground for some time..."
Hearing Wang Lishan, Lin Chen nodded slightly, feeling a bit helpless.
Indeed, there should be no threat to life now.
After all, thirty miles deep underground, even a Golden Core Perfection cultivator’s Divine Sense can’t detect him.
Even if the Ghost-Eyed Old Monster digs three feet deep trying to find him, it wouldn’t go as far as digging fifty thousand feet, right?
The worst scenario is just Lin Chen living underground for some time.
If worst comes to worst, breakthrough to Martial Spirit...
Oh no, breakthrough to Martial Venerable before coming out again!
"Sigh, if I really have to wait until breakthrough to Martial Venerable, I might have to stay underground for a few years..."
Lin Chen silently thought.
Wang Lishan made a few phone calls on the side.
After hanging up, he said: "As for the Martial Arts Puppet, you don’t have to worry... new Martial Arts Puppets are being hastily produced!"
"Let’s take advantage of this opportunity to produce a batch for you... it’s best to form a puppet army, which will greatly assure your safety!"
Hearing this, Lin Chen’s eyes lit up.
Indeed, if he had a hundred... oh no, just ten Martial Arts Puppets with the power of Long Ba and Feng Jiu,
perhaps the situation would reverse, with the Martial Arts Puppets chasing the Ghost-eyed Child.
It’s said that all fear originates from insufficient firepower... that’s probably what it means?
However, the cost of the Martial Arts Puppets is exceedingly high.
Each cost billions in Great Xia currency.
If Lin Chen truly has a puppet army built for him, it would take significant investment.
...
In the following days, Lin Chen continued his steady practice inside the Martial Arts Palace.
Nothing unexpected happened; he returned home once during that time.
After eating the home-cooked meal made by his aunt, Lin Chen felt much happier.
His Qi and Blood Value further increased, getting closer to the Martial Spirit standard of three thousand Qi and Blood Value.
Meanwhile, Lin Chen’s practice of Earth Escape Technique was approaching Minor Achievement Realm...
Seven days passed quickly.
Lin Chen brought along new equipment and... new Long Ba and Feng Jiu, ready to fight again in the Cultivation Realm!
Inside the Martial Arts Palace.
Lin Chen looked at the two new puppets in front of him, showing a satisfied expression.
"Whether in appearance or material, they are identical to the previous Long Ba and Feng Jiu!"
"Even the speaking tone and memories seem the same..."
Wang Lishan laughed hearing this: "Of course, the core database of the Martial Arts Puppets is stored within the Martial Arts Palace!"
"Having Martial Arts Puppets exactly the same, saying it’s excessive to have as many as desired... but gritting our teeth to build about a hundred for you is feasible."
After a pause, Wang Lishan continued:
"Additionally, the improved version of the new generation Martial Arts Puppets has begun development... primarily optimizing the Kinetic Energy System and materials."
"Once the new Long Ba and Feng Jiu are made... their power will rise another level, reaching the Fake Pill Period in the Cultivation Realm shouldn’t be a problem..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen showed a peculiar expression.
He could already imagine the terrifying dominance of Martial Arts Puppets in the Cultivation Realm.
Just imagine, a Core Formation Stage cultivator struggling to finally kill Long Ba.
Only to find, standing behind Long Ba are hundreds more Long Bas...
Not until then does he realize that Long Ba is a codename, representing an entire army... 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
After re-equipping his arsenal, Lin Chen prepared for the next crossover.
With the countdown resetting on his arm, his vision shifted once again.
...
Deep underground, at some unknown location.
After smoothly returning, Lin Chen began a new round of digging.
