Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1302 - 9: Who Knew You Could Break the Rules Like This?

Fortunately, King Shenluo was already bald, so he was spared from this trouble.

But now, the two of them had become more cautious, not daring to whisper even in small voices. They kept a part of their attention on Zhao Xing at all times, waiting for his instructions.

They only dared to walk where Zhao Xing walked, even mimicking his walking movements.

It was as if a group of cats walked through the snow, with the latter ones stepping into the footprints of the ones before them.

"It should be just ahead." Zhao Xing looked into the distance.

A hill with a high terrain suddenly appeared ahead, with a Shimen emerging from the mountain.

The Shimen was already in ruins, with many cracks appearing on it, and parts of the roof and palace walls were exposed around it.

The door and the palace walls were once intricately carved, but now the details were blurred, leaving only some vaguely human-like outlines.

Their eyes seemed to carry a ghostly gaze watching every being that neared.

The door frame was made of black giant stones, covered with dark vines emitting a faint glow. These vines seemed to be alive, occasionally twisting slightly and producing a faint rustling sound.

"Here it is, Jixi Dojo." Zhao Xing gestured for the five behind him to stop and slowly descended to the ground with him.

[Wait here, I'll send an avatar to check.]

[Ji Yun, if there's any movement on the Heavenl Fate Golden List, especially if ancient text suddenly appears, we must retreat as quickly as possible.]

Ji Yun wrote anxiously in the air: [Suddenly appearing ancient text? What does that mean? The names on the Heavenl Fate Golden List represent people. Could something like resurrection occur here?]

Zhao Xing didn't respond immediately but instead used the nearby plants and trees to create dozens of advanced Flying Grassmen.

Now his grassman avatars could cast spells, using the [Grass and Trees are Soldiers Skill] to create some non-top-level grassmen.

"Swish swish~"

The surrounding black vine branches formed one after another into Grassmen.

They silently flew towards the Shimen ahead.

Strangely, the Grassmen were all grotesque-looking, with a completely black color scheme, adding to their eerie presence in such a strange place. Zhao Xing still hadn't answered Ji Yun's question, causing even the battle-hardened few to feel uneasy.

As Zhao Xing sent Grassmen to explore the ruins within the dojo, he finally turned back and wrote to answer Ji Yun's question.

[Yes, the Primordial Qi Tide and the incomplete dojo are two factors that can turn past illusions into reality here.]

[We might as well call these things influenced by changes in heaven and earth 'Heavenly Puppets.']

[The Heavenly Puppets appear based on the incomplete dojo. The Dao resonance within the dojo retains the will of its master. The Heavenly Puppets can accommodate the will of the former Jixi Taoist, and possibly include his powerful Rule Realm disciples as well, which we can call Earth Puppets.]

[If inexplicable names appear on the Heavenl Fate Golden List, then the Heavenly and Earth Puppets have showed up.]

[Don't overthink it, just retreat. If they get a hold of you, it'll be troublesome.]

Upon hearing this, King Shenluo seemed somewhat excited—Heavenly Puppets? Such craftsmanship truly is marvelous.

He couldn't help but yearn for it. If he could study the Heaven and Earth Puppets, perhaps he could break through to the Rule Realm here!

With Zhao Xing's keen soul, he immediately sensed King Shenluo's excitement: [Shenluo, don't get any ideas. You can't capture the Heaven and Earth Puppets, don't think of studying them.]

What a joke! Heavenly Puppets possess part of the power of the Establishing Tao Realm, and Earth Puppets also have part of the power of the Rule Realm.

Could such a thing be researched by the small Fate Palace Realm?

He was afraid King Shenluo might get reckless.

Ye Yuxong gestured in front of King Shenluo: [I'm asking you, don't act rashly. It's common for you Mechanical Masters to be mesmerized by puppets.]

King Shenluo glared at him: [I heard you, mind your own business!]

Zhao Xing continued to control the avatar moving forward.

Entering the dojo area, they were greeted by a desolate square.

The ground was paved with massive bluestone slabs, most of which had shattered, and a kind of blood-red moss grew from the cracks, glowing eerily in the dark, as if blood seeping from the earth.

In the center of the square stood a huge stone platform, its surface covered with deep scratches and dried bloodstains, surrounded by some broken stone statues.

The heads of these statues were missing, leaving only incomplete bodies twisted as if enduring great agony.

Inside the dojo, some halls had appeared, though most had collapsed halfway.

There were many huge holes in the walls of the halls, showing utter darkness inside, occasionally illuminated by pairs of green eyes flickering in the shadows.

Strange symbols glowed weakly on the roofs of the halls, seemingly narrating an ancient and terrible curse.

"Boom!"

One of Zhao Xing's avatars suddenly exploded, even its soul power was obliterated.

Simultaneously, the real Zhao Xing outside snorted coldly, shattering the illusion within his soul.

He quickly wrote:

[Rule One: Do not look directly into the eyes in the darkness.]

[In the darkness of the dojo, there are often green or blue eyes watching.]

[Do not meet their gaze. Once you do, you'll find your sight unable to avert, as these eyes gradually infiltrate your consciousness, making you see your deepest fears. Your soul will be consumed by terror, and your body will be frozen in place.]
