Chapter 1382 Strength Regaining Method

Wang Wei teleported to the Origin Seal Continent, and as soon as he appeared, he sensed a sharp sword energy followed by Yan Hai suddenly appearing before him.

"What happened to you? What did the sect contact me and tell me your Soul Lamp was about to go out?"

"I — Wait, how do you have my Soul Lamp?" Wang Wei asked. He made one in the lower dimension even before he started cultivating, but he never made one for the upper-dimension branch.

"Boy, is this what's important right now?"

"I'm just curious."

Yan Hai looked at him: "Do you want another beating? In your current state, I don't even need the Ancestral Stick to show you my majesty."

"Ancestor, relax," Wang Wei swiftly said before explaining everything.

"That bold nun always complained about how she had a tumultuous fate with Taoism, but it seems true," Yan Hai muttered. "Now, I feel bad for dismissing her." She removed these thoughts from her mind:

"I'm glad you're alive, kid."

"Yes, it's always good to be alive," Wang Wei nodded.

"So, why are you here?"

"I remember I sent a few talented people with Human Fiendgod Bloodline to ascend. The sect should have taken good care of them, correct?"

"That's right."

"I need you to secretly contact the sect and one of them to come out. Don't use the previous contact method — it would be best to ask them indirectly."

"You came here for this?" she asked with a frown.

"He has a tight watch over me, so I cannot risk contacting the sect," Wang Wei explained. "And I don't know enough about our secrets for any form of true secret contact.

"True." Yan Hai nodded. "But why do you need these people?"

"I need to borrow their bodies," Wang Wei said. "You see my situation, and the fastest way to regain my strength is to take over another body. The best body is those people with the same bloodline, and only they currently have the Human Fiendgod Bloodline."

"In that case, I can't help you."

"What?"

"We have strict rules about taking over clan members' bodies."

"Ancestor, this is an emergency — the rules can be slightly bent."

"No," Yan Hai responded, her voice firm.

"Ancestor," Wang Wei replied, his voice slightly raised.

Yan Hai shook her head: "I know you're thinking that I'm being old-fashioned and rigid, but that's not true — I'm doing this for the good of the sect."

"What do you mean?"

"Do you know what our sect's greatest advantage is over the other Overlords?"

Wang Wei wanted to say more, but he had to stop after seeing the impatient look on her face. Regardless, he warned her one last time before teleporting away. At his hideout, Wang Wei had to contemplate another solution to regain his strength. An idea suddenly popped into his mind, so he contacted the Flame Blacksmith and Puppet Demon through the Void Illusion Realm.

"I need a well-made puppet," Wang Wei said. "It must be done to the exact proportion of my body, down to my [Existence]. Is that possible?"

"You want a New Life Puppet?" Puppet Demon asked.

"What's that?" Wang Wei asked, not familiar with that term.

"You know how there are two schools of puppetry?"

"Yes, external and internal puppetry," Wang Wei nodded. The former focused on making and controlling puppets, while the latter turned their bodies into puppets.

"The ultimate goal of all Internal Puppetry is to create a New Life Puppet or a puppet based on their [Existence]. Such a puppet can grow and evolve without changing the parts — just like flesh and the soul."

"On paper, this sounds easy, but your tone indicates it's not," Wang Wei commented.

"Of course, it's difficult," Puppet Demon said. "In the history of Puppet Dao, the number of people who have succeeded probably can be counted on two hands."

"Is that so?" Wang Wei frowned

"His explanation is flat-out wrong," Flame Blacksmith suddenly added.

"What do you mean by this?" Puppet Demon swiftly asked.

"Any puppeteer who has mastered the technique of [Existence Reconstruction] could make a puppet based on someone's [Existence]," he explained. "New Life Puppets is about fusing the essence or concept of [Puppetry] into your [Existence]."

"I see." Wang Wei understood that New Life Puppets was a method for Puppeteers to enter the Taboo Battle Realm, hence why so few people have succeeded.

"So, can you build my puppet?" Wang Wei asked, ignoring the Puppet Demon's embarrassment.

"Although it's not my expertise, with his help, it should not be an issue," the Flame Blacksmith nodded.

"Excellent. How long will that take?"

"Is it urgent?"

"I need it as soon as possible."

"In that case, let me calculate. If we have abundant resources, hire a few more puppeteers, and with your full cooperation, it should be done in about 2500 yuan epochs."

Wang Wei's lips immediately twitched: "Can't it be faster?"

Flame Blacksmith frowned — this was the fastest estimate he deduced. "How fast are we talking about?"

"I'm talking in a few hundred years."

"Are you mad?" he asked with a raised voice.

"How about a few thousand years?" Wang Wei swiftly added. However, the only answer he received was a hard stare.

"We have Time Formations, don't we?"

"The best of those are between 10 to 12 times the normal time, so unless you have access to a Wonder of Heaven and Earth, it won't make much of a difference," the Flame Blacksmith retorted.

Wang Wei sighed. This plan was not feasible. 'So, what else can I do?'
