Starting with the Magic Absorption Technique: I swept through the fantasy world.

"I don't need it, you can keep it yourself."

"The Soul-Slaying Pearl has more uses than just these."

Wang Mu shook his head. "Feng Ji, you are a cultivator. This bead is more useful to you."

Although Feng Ji was very pleased, he still placed the bead in Wang Mu's hand. "Your Majesty, this Soul-Bearing Bead can not only greatly enhance a person's spiritual power, but its greatest function is to repair damage to the soul. Besides, you are also a cultivator."

Wang Mu was somewhat tempted by this, because the fragments of the emperor's soul in his mind had not yet merged into one.

At this moment, Feng Ji said again, "Besides, I don't need it at all. There are plenty of good treasures in our Holy See. Moreover, I am a princess of the Phoenix Clan. In the later stages, it is not entirely based on spiritual power and spiritual energy, but on my understanding of the secret techniques of the Phoenix Clan princess."

Wang Mu had no idea that the Phoenix Princess was lying, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll keep it."

Seeing him put away the Soul-Slaying Pearl, Feng Ji said earnestly, "Your Majesty, you must promise me that you will keep this Soul-Slaying Pearl safe and sound and not tell anyone about it."

"Ah."

Feng Ji suddenly remembered something, grabbed Wang Mu's hand and said, "You mustn't sell it."

This Soul-Bearing Pearl is definitely not simple. Wang Mu nodded and put the pearl away.

The two returned to the path and found a place to rest. Feng Ji suggested that they rest there for the night, but there was no concept of night in this space.

Wang Mu set up a tent for her and arranged a magical formation around it. The two chatted by the fire for a long time until Feng Ji went into the tent to rest. He stayed outside to meditate and regulate his breathing.

After resting, they continued along the path. They didn't know how many days they had traveled, but fortunately, there was water and magical beasts along the way. Wang Mu had tested the water and the magical beasts and found them to be non-toxic, so the two of them had no shortage of food and water.

One day, they came to a place where there were towering mountains on both sides, each thousands of meters high, stretching into the clouds. Their whereabouts were unknown.

Between the two mountains lies a long valley that stretches as far as the eye can see. What is most surprising is that the valley is teeming with magical beasts. For some unknown reason, all sorts of magical beasts gather in the valley and refuse to leave.

Upon closer inspection, Feng Ji immediately recognized that these magical beasts were all puppets.

"Oh no, how could this be?"

Wang Mu also noticed the anomaly. "Feng Ji, these magical beasts should have died long ago. They've all become puppets now."

Feng Ji silently watched the puppets in the valley, among which there were occasionally a few human figures.

Although the puppets in front of us are of different levels, ten or a hundred would be fine, but there are hundreds of thousands of puppets in this valley, densely packed together. Strangely enough, these puppets do not leave the valley, but just walk around inside.

After watching for a while, both of them noticed something strange about it.

At this moment, Wang Mu said, "Let's go and take a look."

"it is good."

Wang Mu and Feng Ji stepped into the valley, and after walking for a while, they saw several puppets coming over.

Facing several level 5 or 7 puppets, he struck them down with his palm, killing them instantly. Just as he was about to go further in, a large number of puppets suddenly rushed towards him.

He killed dozens of them and advanced about four or five meters, but more and more puppets surrounded him.

"Your Majesty, come back quickly!" Feng Ji shouted anxiously upon seeing this.

Just to test the puppets in the valley, Wang Mu killed a few more before disappearing outside the valley.

"The Emperor."

"I'm fine," Wang Mu said before going to check on the pursuing puppets.

Hundreds of puppets chased them to within half a meter of them and then stopped. At less than two feet away, they were like a wall, and the puppets ignored them and did not come out.

Wang Mu couldn't help but burst into laughter, "These puppets are quite interesting."

Laughter instantly dispelled Feng Ji's tension. Seeing many puppets spinning around in circles like headless flies, he also laughed and said, "Yes, it seems like something is trapping these puppets in the valley."

"Should I go in and try a few more times?"

"I'll go as well."

"Okay, but be careful, don't rush ahead, stay behind me."

"Ah."

The two walked a few steps into the valley, and the puppets rushed forward to attack.

Wang Mu stood in front, striking out with several palms, and many puppets fell down. Feng Ji followed behind, using his spiritual power to kill a few more. Killing these puppets was not difficult.

Soon after, hundreds of puppets appeared. The two looked at each other and retreated to the outside of the valley. The puppets that had moved forward stopped, and some even turned back.

Outside the valley, Wang Mu looked up at the high mountains on both sides, and before he knew it, the mountainside was covered by a cloud of black mist.

Feng Ji naturally saw it too. The mountain was over a thousand meters high, and the cliffs were as sharp as if they had been cut by a knife. Even for a strong person, it would be very difficult to climb up. Looking at other places, it seemed that there were no paths left.

After a while, she said, "It seems that this valley is the only passage."

"Yes, we have no choice but to force our way through."

"But there are just too many puppets in the valley. No matter how many we kill, we can't kill them all."

"Let's go into the valley and fight for a while first. Maybe we can observe some clues and come up with a solution."

After speaking, Wang Mu took out a long sword from his spatial ring.

"I'll go as well."

Wang Mu nodded.

The two entered the valley again, and the puppets swarmed them. Wang Mu's sword flashed and felled a large number of puppets in an instant. Feng Ji followed behind, killing a few stragglers from time to time.

After walking more than ten meters forward, there were more and more puppets. Fortunately, these puppets were not of high level. Although Feng Ji was having some difficulty, there was no danger.

After observing this in secret, Wang Mu felt relieved and fought for a while. Suddenly, he discovered that the puppets that had been killed in front of him could stand up again if their heads were still attached to their bodies, as if they were immortal and rejoined the battle.

Feng Ji also noticed this situation. It turned out that the puppets at the entrance of the valley were just an appetizer. Once you went in more than ten meters, the real danger of these low-level puppets was that they were not dead.

After a fierce battle, the two were about to be surrounded by puppets, so they had no choice but to retreat outside the valley.

Once outside, Wang Mu secretly calculated that although he had killed over a thousand puppets, he probably had only actually killed about a hundred.

"Your Majesty, what should we do? There are so many puppets, we can't kill them all no matter how hard we try."

Feng Ji was naturally anxious, because he didn't know how many days had passed inside.

“Puppet…” Wang Mu seemed to have thought of something and muttered to himself.

After a while, he said excitedly, "Since they are puppets, we can turn these puppets into our puppets."

Feng Ji was taken aback. "Your Majesty, do you mean...?"

"I'll first capture a puppet and try it out with a secret technique to see if it can become our puppet and be used by us."

Upon hearing this, Feng Ji was instantly horrified. According to the historical records of the Holy See, the Dark Church originally possessed puppetry techniques, but unfortunately, they were lost ten thousand years ago. At this moment, he thought that what Wang Mu was talking about was the lost puppetry techniques of the Holy See.

"Your Majesty, let's hurry and capture the puppet."
