In such a situation, using a Golden Core Demon Beast as a puppet can indeed make it exert even greater strength.
After all, monster beasts are inherently physically strong.
Moreover, the monster beasts in the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons are all, from the moment they are born, corroded by a large amount of Yin Energy, possessing little Spiritual Intelligence, and acting almost entirely on instinct.
In this way, the monster beasts in this Realm of Ten Thousand Demons are not only physically stronger than monster beasts from other places.
After being refined into puppets, they will also retain the combat instincts from their lives, instincts already imprinted in their bones.
One can imagine just how formidable a Golden Core Puppet with ingrained combat instincts from its life and an extremely powerful body would be.
And this is precisely the reason He Song wants to search for such Golden Core Demon Beast corpses in the vicinity of several Immortal State Capitals.
If it were truly possible to use Golden Core Demon Beast corpses from the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons for puppet crafting.
Then even without using Blood Energy to stimulate the puppet's fierce nature.
The strength of the puppets refined by He Song would not be inferior to those puppets whose fierce nature is stimulated by vast Blood Energy.
In fact, they might even be stronger.
One must know.
But in terms of Combat Power, the bodies of many monster beasts are actually more suited for combat than the bodies of cultivators.
After all, although puppets refined from cultivator corpses also have extremely powerful physical bodies and are even more agile.
But as cultivators, they always primarily focus on Combat Techniques.
When engaged in Great Wars with other beings, the combat instincts within their bodies are far weaker than those of monster beast puppets.
Therefore, even if the physical body strength of both sides is almost the same, there will still be a difference in actual Combat Power.
This time, He Song.
If he could really find one, or even several Golden Core Demon Beast corpses, then perhaps the Yin-Yang Creation Formation he had just modified could be put to use.
However, before that.
This time, when He Song went out, he also needed to search in the surrounding Immortal Provinces for places with dense Yin Energy that could be used to set up the Yin-Yang Creation Formation.
Thinking This Way, He Song sat upright on his Low-Grade Spiritual Flying Boat and sped away into the distance.
---
Thus.
Until several months later.
After rushing about for some time, He Song finally arrived, travel-worn, in Mist Cloud State Prefecture, which is closely adjacent to Fallen Phoenix Province, half a month before the Auction was about to begin.
Smoke Cloud Prefecture is an Immortal Province governed by the Nether Saber Sect.
And it is closely adjacent to Fallen Phoenix Province of the Golden Snake Sect, where He Song was previously located.
However, Smoke Cloud Prefecture directly borders the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons, while Fallen Phoenix Province is situated behind Smoke Cloud Prefecture.
The reason this prefecture is named Smoke Cloud is primarily because within the Territory of Smoke Cloud Prefecture, many places are covered in smoke clouds.
These smoke clouds are nothing else but the dense Yin Energy from within the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons.
Under the shroud of this Yin Energy, most of the Territory of Smoke Cloud Prefecture is enveloped in smoke clouds, hence the name Smoke Cloud Prefecture.
When He Song, after much travel, finally arrived at Mist Cloud State Prefecture.
He actually did not reveal his own Cultivation Level, but as before, concealed it at the Foundation Establishment Stage Great Perfection.
Smoke Cloud Prefecture borders the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons.
Cultivators who are able to come to This Location, or who have settled here for a while, are generally not to be trifled with.
He Song had only just arrived at This Location when he witnessed several instances of killing and treasure-snatching Outside Smoke Cloud Prefecture City.
He Song even discovered Righteous Path Cultivators publicly using Demonic Artifacts.
The scene of black mist spreading and Demonic Energy surging did not cause much of a Ripple among the people in the Vicinity.
It seemed.
The matter of using Demonic Artifacts in Smoke Cloud Prefecture did not seem to lead to the same awkward situation of universal condemnation as in other places.
On the contrary, even if Demonic Artifacts were used publicly, Righteous Path Cultivators in the Vicinity would not be too surprised.
At most, they would simply assess the Cultivation Level of the Cultivator using the Demonic Artifact and then turn their heads away, no longer paying attention.
At this, He Song's heart stirred.
It seemed that in this chaotic region bordering the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons, Cultivators were already accustomed to such things and did not consider them to be Major Events at all.
Speaking of which, it is actually Normal.
In Smoke Cloud Prefecture, adjacent to the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons, the survival pressure faced by Cultivators is extremely immense.
Here, if one's strength is even slightly lacking, there is a danger of Body Death and Dao Dissipation.
Compared to other places, Cultivators in Smoke Cloud Prefecture naturally place greater emphasis on their own strength.
And Demonic Artifacts are particularly known for being strange and sinister.
If using Demonic Artifacts can significantly increase one's strength, then Cultivators in Smoke Cloud Prefecture naturally have no mental burden in using them.
Moreover, if you don't use them yourself.
If your Enemy uses them, wouldn't you be at a great disadvantage?
After understanding this point and being Aware Of that even if Demonic Artifacts are used publicly in Smoke Cloud Prefecture, there will be no significant consequences.
He Song then had some Thoughts about those Demonic Artifacts known for being strange and sinister.
Perhaps he could also go and see if there were any Demonic Sect Spirit Tools suitable for him in Smoke Cloud Prefecture.
If there really were.
And if it could indeed Generate a significant increase in He Song's strength.
Then he could also try it out.
Thinking This Way, He Song's Figure soon entered Mist Cloud State Prefecture.
However, he actually did not forget to change his Appearance and Aura, and several hundred li Outside Smoke Cloud Prefecture City, he left behind a Heavenly Divine Thunder Array.
These two things were what He Song relied on for this trip, so naturally he could not forget them.
After doing these things, He Song naturally quickly entered Mist Cloud State Prefecture and casually found an Inn to stay in.
Smoke Cloud Prefecture.
This Border Region Immortal Province, closely connected to the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons, and with a large amount of Yin Energy even within its Territory.
Under the rule of the Nether Saber Sect, it actually appeared to be quite orderly.
Although He Song had noticed several instances of killing and treasure-snatching before entering Mist Cloud State Prefecture.
He had even discovered Cultivators openly using Demonic Artifacts.
But after entering Mist Cloud State Prefecture, He Song did not discover such things again.
This Mist Cloud State Prefecture, although located on the outer fringes of the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons, with a large number of Cultivators coming from afar to settle down here, preparing to enter the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons.
It could be described as a mixed bag, with people from all walks of life present.
However, with the Nether Saber Sect actually dispatching several Golden Core True Lords to oversee the area.
This Mist Cloud State Prefecture was still as peaceful as the Immortal State Capitals He Song had seen before.
At most.
It was just that in Mist Cloud State Prefecture, there were a few more Shops of all sizes, and the number of Cultivators living on the edge was also slightly higher.
But with several Golden Core True Lords in command, even these Cultivators living on the edge and seeking Fortuitous Encounters in the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons did not dare to act rashly.
Therefore, after entering Mist Cloud State Prefecture, He Song quickly went out to get a feel for the Situation within Mist Cloud State Prefecture.
Within Mist Cloud State Prefecture, there were as many as a dozen Golden Core True Lords.
The majority of Golden Core True Lords in This Location were Rogue Cultivator Golden Cores.
Because it was adjacent to the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons, almost every year, vast and incomparable Resources flowed out from the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons, entering Mist Cloud State Prefecture.
And through Mist Cloud State Prefecture, they flowed towards the Nascent Soul Upper Sects in the Vicinity, and even further afield.
Therefore, the number of Rogue Cultivator Golden Cores born in Mist Cloud State Prefecture was also considerable.
With such vast Resources constantly flowing, naturally there would be no shortage of lucky individuals among them.
Currently, within Mist Cloud State Prefecture, there were as many as eight Rogue Cultivator Golden Cores.
These eight Rogue Cultivator Golden Cores were all accumulated over many years, and each governed a Golden Core Family.
Of course, among these eight Rogue Cultivator Golden Cores, there were also some who had joined the Nether Saber Sect.
Among them, four Rogue Cultivator Golden Cores, although nominally Rogue Cultivators, were actually non-official members of the Nether Saber Sect.
Once the Guardian Perfected Person of the Nether Saber Sect at This Location spoke, they would naturally also move out accordingly.
Regarding the number of Guardian Perfected Persons of the Nether Saber Sect at This Location.
It was also slightly higher than in other Immortal State Capitals.
Generally Speaking, the number of Guardian Perfected Persons in an Immortal State Capital ranges from two to three, depending on the specific Situation, but it is almost never less than three.
And because Smoke Cloud State Prefecture was adjacent to the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons, and the circulation of various Resources was immense.
Therefore, the number of Guardian Perfected Persons of the Nether Saber Sect at This Location had reached as many as four.
Four Guardian Perfected Persons, plus four non-official personnel.
The Golden Core True Lords deployed by the Nether Saber Sect at This Location, added together, numbered as many as eight.
So many Golden Core True Lords in command here naturally made Mist Cloud State Prefecture extremely safe.
Because no one knew.
When one was causing trouble, whether there was a Golden Core True Lord idly unfolding their Divine Sense, investigating everything in the Vicinity.
If there really was such an idle Golden Core True Lord, they would probably be directly Slaughtered as soon as they made a move.
In such a Situation, wouldn't it be throwing away one's life for nothing?
With as many as eight Golden Core True Lords, who could guarantee that there wasn't an eye in the Sky watching them?
In Addition to these eight Golden Core True Lords and the other four Rogue Cultivator Golden Cores, the Golden Core True Lord in the Treasure Gathering Pavilion at This Location was also naturally counted among them.
Adding them all together, there were already as many as thirteen Golden Core True Lords.
One Immortal State Capital, with as many as thirteen Golden Core True Lord existences within it.
With such Strength, even pacifying the Golden Core Forces in the Vicinity would be as easy as turning one's hand.
From this, one could see just how much the Nether Saber Sect valued This Location.
Perhaps it was because of the vast and incomparable Benefits of This Location.
Or Perhaps it was to guard against the monster beasts in the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons.
Or perhaps, it was both.
In any case.
In this Mist Cloud State Prefecture where He Song was Currently located, there were as many as thirteen Golden Core True Lords just openly visible.
Moreover, He Song could not guarantee that there were no Golden Core True Lords in this State Prefecture, like himself, who had concealed their Cultivation Levels.
If those were included, the number would probably be even higher.
In a Situation with so many Golden Core True Lords in Existence, He Song would naturally not hesitate to maintain a low profile.
And this was precisely the Reason why he concealed his Cultivation Level, only revealing Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.
The number of Golden Core True Lords at This Location was truly excessive.
Even for He Song.
Even in a Siege Situation, he could not guarantee he could retreat unscathed.
After Completely ascertaining the number of Golden Core True Lords in Mist Cloud State Prefecture, and the Territories of those Golden Core Families.
He Song naturally had a Bottom line regarding the Situation at This Location.
Currently.
The Treasure Gathering Pavilion Auction Grand Assembly, held once every ten years in Mist Cloud State Prefecture, would also begin in half a month.
Currently, in Mist Cloud State Prefecture, quite a few foreign Cultivators had also arrived successively.
There were even some Cultivators who had seized the opportunity to quietly emerge from the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons, hoping to sell all the Treasures they had accumulated over many years at this Auction.
Therefore, Mist Cloud State Prefecture had become increasingly lively in this recent period.
Cultivators like He Song who were at Foundation Establishment Great Perfection were naturally not uncommon in Mist Cloud State Prefecture.
But this actually also made He Song's Existence seem less conspicuous.
Thus, for several consecutive days, He Song went out every day to gather various News.
At the same Time, he also summarized his Gains from the previous months in his heart.
Several months prior, He Song had Departed from Fallen Phoenix Prefecture and traveled to many places, searching everywhere for Places of Dense Yin Energy.
Places like this, containing dense Yin Energy, were actually not easy to find.
The Existence of Yin Energy, in addition to Nether Springs, could be caused by many Reasons.
In a place where a large number of living beings had died, there might be Yin Energy underground.
In a Year-round dark corner, there might also be Yin Energy underground.
A certain place...
But unfortunately, the amount of Yin Energy in these places was inconsistent.
In some of these places, the Yin Energy was only a thin layer, while in others, it was vast and immeasurable.
And the Place of Dense Yin Energy that He Song sought naturally needed to be vast enough to support the Yin-Yang Creation Formation's large-scale extraction and be maintained for many years.
Only in this way could the puppets sealed into the Yin-Yang Creation Formation by He Song have enough Yin Energy to absorb and successfully reach the Golden Core Stage.
And Precisely Because Of This, even though He Song traveled to many places and searched everywhere for places with dense Yin Energy.
He did not gain much.
After this search of several months, He Song had only found three Places of Dense Yin Energy.
However, after Entirely shrouding these three Places of Dense Yin Energy with the Mist Veil Formation.
These three Places of Dense Yin Energy naturally became the places where He Song would deploy the Yin-Yang Creation Formation in the future.
The Mist Veil Formation is a Foundation Establishment concealment Grand Formation.
Even if other Cultivators investigated with Divine Sense, it would be unlikely they would find them.
In this way, in the future, He Song only needed to revisit these three places to use them as his puppet crafting locations.
In Addition.
In these past months, He Song had actually also traveled around the Vicinity of several Immortal State Capitals, gaining some Understanding of them.
Unfortunately, He Song's Idea of finding Golden Core Demon Beast corpses in these Immortal State Capitals this time had come to nothing.
In these Immortal State Capitals, there were no Golden Core Demon Beast corpses that He Song desired.
After searching everywhere without success, He Song had finally had to come to This Location.
