Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 818 - 68: Another "Yue Jinghua

While inquiring about the Corrosive Corpse Pill, Yue Jinghua also subtly pried into information regarding the Dark Demon Army.

The Demon Clan’s vanguard was rather dull; they did not question "Dark Demon Sixty-Seven’s" identity and roughly explained their background.

All these demons came from the Chen Plane adjacent to the Star Plane. Unlike the relatively stable political situation of Canglong Continent on the Star Plane, the Chen Plane had been in a state of civil war for years.

Up to five hundred years ago, a branch of the Demon Clan called the Emperor Demon Clan rose. Ying, the current Demon Lord, with the strength of a single person, swept across half of the Chen Plane, gradually unifying the fragmented forces and marrying the daughters of the three relatively powerful demon tribe Clan Leaders.

Ying of the Emperor Demons unified the three major Demon Clans, and finally, at the age of three hundred, unified nearly eighty percent of Chen Continent’s territory and established Emperor Demon City.

Just at the height of Ying’s power, he carelessly went into Deviation while practicing, damaging his form and spirit, forcing him to sleep to restore his Primordial Spirit.

After Ying fell asleep, his three Demon Empresses schemed against each other. Their three children, Jile Crown Prince, Second Prince of Dark Shadow, and Third Princess Xingluo, each established their own forces, dividing the Chen Plane into several major powers, and respectively established the renowned three great Demon Lords, Jile Army, Dark Shadow Army, and Xingluo Army of the Chen Plane.

To prevent his three sons from fratricide, Ying left an edict before his slumber, "Ten thousand years ago, the Human Race’s Tianwu Family betrayed and seized the territory originally belonging to the Demon Clan. Among the demon children, whoever first captures the Four Symbols City, the springboard to the Star Plane, and destroys the Heavenly Witch Tablet, will obtain the Demon Clan’s first Divine Skill, the Nine Revolutions Star Creation Technique."

Ying also dispatched three great Demon Generals, Black Feather, Hong Lei, and Blue Flash, to follow the three Emperor Demon Princes and Princesses, assisting them in capturing Four Symbols City.

Nine Revolutions Star Creation Technique? Yue Jinghua was startled upon hearing it, reminded of her own Nine Revolutions Star Creation Technique and Nine Revolutions Moon Creation Technique.

The Nine Revolutions Creation Technique comprises the Nine Revolutions Sun Creation Technique, Nine Revolutions Moon Creation Technique, Nine Revolutions Star Creation Technique, and Nine Revolutions Star Creation Technique. Yue Jinghua had obtained the second and third fortuitously, yet she wondered what the Nine Revolutions Star Creation Technique was about.

The Demon Clan, Human Race, Holy Beast Clan, and even Divine Clan occupy the Four Great Planes. Ying of the Emperor Demon Clan could unify most of the Demon Clan territory on his own, suggesting that the Demon Technique is quite formidable.

However, Yue Jinghua did not currently have the ability to venture to the Chen Plane.

Soon after receiving the information, "Dark Demon Sixty-Seven" was summoned by Captain Hong Lei, instructing her to join more than ten people from the Dark Demon vanguard the following afternoon and proceed to the Elephant Water area to greet the Pill Master sent by the Second Prince of Dark Demon.

Although Hong Lei was the vanguard captain for the Second Prince of Dark Demon, she had followed Ying of the Emperor Demons in countless battles over the years.

She had visited Canglong Continent in previous years and had interacted with the Human Race, so she did not entirely dismiss the Human Race Dark Practitioners.

Although she did not approve of the Second Prince of Dark Demon’s despicable plan to poison Four Symbols City, unfortunately, she had to obey as a subordinate.

Before Yue Jinghua left, Hong Lei called her again, causing Yue Jinghua’s eyelids to twitch involuntarily, "The Second Prince heard that you obtained some Witch Origin Soil from the Divine Ruins and intends to refine several Witch Puppets. How is your refinement process?"

Yue Jinghua immediately thought of the several unremarkable clay dolls she found in the Dark Demon Sixty-Seven’s ring. Could these be the Witch Puppets refined from Witch Origin Soil?

The Divine Ruins was a forbidden zone for Dark Practitioners, Holy Beasts, and the Divine Clan, yet for the Demon Clan filled with Evil Qi, it posed no restrictions. This Dark Demon Clan vanguard was taking a circuitous route through the Divine Ruins to evade the guards of Four Symbols City.

Dark Demon Sixty-Seven, as the only Artifact Master in the Dark Demon Army, inadvertently discovered a magical soil while stationed at the Divine Ruins and took some back. These were the clay dolls Yue Jinghua had found earlier.

"Thank you, Master Hong Lei. The Witch Puppets are only in their early stages and will take some time to succeed," Yue Jinghua calmly replied before leaving Hong Lei’s tent.

She immediately returned to Dark Demon Sixty-Seven’s tent. Earlier, she had found no information about Witch Puppets in the Dark Demon Ring. With Hong Lei’s reminder, she searched the tent again, finding a set of notes left by Dark Demon Sixty-Seven on making Witch Puppets.

After translating with the Golden Silkworm, Yue Jinghua learned that Witch Origin Soil was a legendary magical soil formed over years after the Sky Witch Clan scattered their blood on the barren land during the God and Demon War.

When clay figures made of this precious soil are fused with a trace of a Primordial Spirit, they can form robust, lifelike Witch Puppets.

"Lifelike Witch Puppets?" Yue Jinghua was intrigued upon hearing this.

These Witch Puppets, in essence, are a type of doppelgänger doll. They possess human body shapes and can even speak and walk.

After reading Dark Demon Sixty-Seven’s notes, she took out a clay figure that was not yet completely refined.

Dark Demon Sixty-Seven was utterly unfortunate; his few Earth Puppets were already seventy to eighty percent completed. But his ordinary cultivation level did not allow him to cultivate a Second Primordial Spirit, so the clay figures were shapely but lifeless.

He originally planned to present these Witch Puppets to the Second Prince of Dark Demon. However, after encountering Yue Jinghua confiscating his Hidden Deer Antler, he hurriedly left the main base of the Dark Demon Army without a moment to spare and fell under Yue Jinghua’s sword.

Yue Jinghua counted carefully and found that Dark Demon Sixty-Seven had left three Witch Puppets.

"I’ve already cultivated a Second Primordial Spirit. Why not try merging the Primordial Spirit into a Witch Puppet?" With this idea, Yue Jinghua fused her Second Primordial Spirit into a Witch Puppet.

The originally fist-sized clay figure began to swell rapidly, as if inflated, as Yue Jinghua merged her Second Primordial Spirit.

Its roughly sculpted features swiftly became delicate and smooth.

In the blink of an eye, the Witch Puppet turned into an almost identical "Yue Jinghua," with her height and appearance.

Yue Jinghua was startled and stared at the "Witch Puppet," who stared back at her in a daze.

As she took a step forward, the Witch Puppet also followed her step.

"You..."

"You..."

Yue Jinghua quickly realized that by dividing her spiritual power, this Witch Puppet could completely mimic a human in speech, movement, and thought. It could even use her various Dark Techniques, acting like her shadow and deceiving everyone.

Even those close to her, like Shalman and Qian Luo, would find it difficult to distinguish the Witch Puppet from Yue Jinghua.

She collected the Witch Puppet, ecstatic.

Having this Witch Puppet was equivalent to having two "Yue Jinghuas." She decided not to disclose to anyone that she possessed a Witch Puppet, feeling that one day, this Witch Puppet might be her lifesaving talisman.
