My Farming-Style Cultivation Is Way Too Steady - Chapter 410
Chapter 409 The Ancestor Puppet!
With a loud bang, the heavy stone coffin crashed to the ground, causing the entire ground to shake violently and a powerful shockwave to spread out, instantly turning the hundreds of bone puppets carrying the coffin into dust.
Looking at the enormous stone coffin before him, Xu Changqing’s pupils dilated violently: “They really carried it out?”
You should know that this is a secret realm that only opens once every five hundred years.
Moreover, only Golden Core stage cultivators are allowed to enter.
Now, it has been completely emptied out little by little by “our own people”.
For safety reasons, Xu Changqing did not approach immediately. Instead, he awakened another batch of bone-patterned puppets in an attempt to open the tightly sealed stone coffin.
However, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t succeed.
Firstly, this thing is too heavy.
Secondly, no vulnerabilities can be found.
Xu Changqing raised an eyebrow: “We’re just one step away from a close call, and you’re giving me a hard time?”
Of course, this situation was both unexpected and reasonable.
Ultimately, a stone coffin of this size must contain something extraordinary.
If it could be opened easily, it would have been taken away by the experts who entered the secret realm before.
Fortunately, Xu Changqing possessed many top-notch skills, and he began to experiment with various techniques.
For example, we tried every possible method, such as runes, weapon crafting, and alchemy.
The results showed that what actually made a difference was not skill.
Instead…
After Xu Changqing tried many methods and devised many approaches, but failed to open the stone coffin, he had no choice but to resort to the “evil path”.
He first hid himself in a shipwreck, then put away the Thunder Dragon Water-Avoiding Ship and brought it into his personal space.
I’m going to try and see if this thing’s ability to devour and evolve will have any effect.
To my utter surprise, it actually dared to ride it.
No, it actually works.
As lightning raged, the stone coffin, which had been a single, solid object, seemed to be stimulated and began to tremble.
Soon after, the runes on it began to crackle with lightning, as if they had been activated.
Then, a series of “click” sounds rang out, becoming clearer and louder.
Before long, the heavy stone coffin suddenly shook, the lid popped open automatically, and the interior space was gradually exposed.
However, to Xu Changqing’s surprise, it was not the foul black gas found in the small coffin, but rather cool like the power of wood spirit, containing a rich life force.
He soared into the air, floating above it, and looked down inside. The next second, his pupils contracted, becoming as small as pinholes.
“Is this the Carving Ancestor?”
“So fresh, it doesn’t look like a corpse at all!”
“Could it be that Ancestor Carved Marks is not dead?”
Xu Changqing was shocked when he saw the “corpse” in the stone coffin.
The old ancestor with the marks inside the stone coffin still maintained the majesty befitting a powerful being.
He wasn’t lying down, but sitting cross-legged in the coffin, his spine ramrod straight, as if he would open his eyes at any moment.
Although his dark gold Taoist robe had faded, it was completely undamaged.
The body was preserved almost perfectly.
Her face was full, her jawline was sharp, and even the strands of hair at her temples were clearly defined.
His skin was a pale, jade-like color, devoid of any human color.
The exposed parts of his body show distinctive “marks”.
This is something more advanced and ancient than runes; it doesn’t look complicated, in fact, it’s quite simple.
In reality, it contains the power of the laws of heaven and earth, and every stroke is earth-shattering.
At this moment, the marks covering his entire body seemed to writhe like living things, appearing exceptionally eerie.
Its entire body exudes both a strong sense of life and a strong sense of decay.
It was as if this person was alive at the same time, yet also dead, and there was no trace of consciousness; it was as if only a shell remained.
The inner walls of the stone coffin were covered with more intricate runes than those on the outside, seemingly drawn with blood mixed with Netherworld mud. They still glowed with a dark red light and were even absorbing the spiritual energy of wood and water.
In the corner of the stone coffin, there was a jade pendant broken into three pieces, its purpose unknown.
Xu Changqing’s eyes shone with a terrifying light: “If I refine the Mark Ancestor into my own puppet, wouldn’t that be a great help?”
His own puppetry skills had already reached the master level, making him terrifyingly powerful.
Moreover, the old ancestor with the marks in front of him is just a corpse, and he is currently in his personal space, so there is no need to worry about danger.
Thinking of this, Xu Changqing did not hesitate and decisively took out three Soul-Separating Incense sticks from the green gourd.
As soon as the incense was inserted, the five kinds of spiritual power in the Qi Sea were immediately activated to bind the limbs and torso of the Mark Ancestor, and then he was pulled up, first taking off his clothes, and then floating in the air.
Then, he drew a talisman in the air and used it to seal the other person’s five senses and nine orifices.
He then took out a piece of green-patterned wood, and with a wave of his hand, it transformed into three wooden nails, which he drove into the skull of the Carved Ancestor in a triangular pattern.
At this moment, the hair that Xu Changqing had left behind came in handy. He took out a portion of it, soaked it with spiritual power, and then began to wrap it around the wooden nail.
Circle after circle, until it covers the entire head.
He then took out the Three-Aperture Spirit Brush he had just obtained, dipped it in his own blood essence, and then drew puppet runes on the body of the Carved Ancestor.
The wrists are decorated with silk-wrapped runes.
The heart area contains the Qi-guiding rune.
The space between the eyebrows is marked with a binding rune.
The whole process took an unknown amount of time; it was extremely lengthy.
Of course, Xu Changqing didn’t care at all; he was perfectly safe in his personal space.
In any case, he was single-mindedly focused on refining the body of the Marked Ancestor into his own puppet.

As Xu Changqing placed the final stroke on the forehead of the Mark Ancestor, a faint golden light suddenly fell into the rune from the void.
Special Effect 5: Rune Inscription Induces a Response from the Laws of Heaven and Earth
When the Binding Rune was struck by the golden light, it automatically extended fine golden lines, which intertwined with the original engravings of the Engraving Ancestor.
Even more surprisingly, the faint outline of the character “lock” appeared in the gold thread, bypassing the stage that required reinforcement and becoming exceptionally stable.
With the help of invisible laws, it was as if heaven and earth had approved this utilization of “waste”.
Almost instantly, Xu Changqing felt a connection with the body of the Mark Ancestor.
It was as if a single thought or command could set him on his feet.
At the same time, detailed information pops up in the properties panel.
Puppet: The Carved Ancestor
Effect 1: Power of the Mark
Effect 2: Runic Power
Effect 3: Remaining Strength
Special Effect 1: Shared Perception, the puppet and its master are in perfect harmony.
Negative Effect 1: Every seven days, one must enter the Bone Tomb to extend their life.
Negative Effect 2: Limited by the master’s cultivation level, the puppet can only exert the strength of a Golden Core cultivator.
Xu Changqing raised an eyebrow: “I thought I had gained a powerful ally, but I didn’t expect to be limited by my own strength.”
However regrettable, it is still a pity.
What he really cared about was the Xuan Yuan Golden Light Talisman, which could withstand the lightning tribulation.
Therefore, Xu Changqing did not hesitate and immediately issued the first order.
Instantly, a mark on the left hand of the Mark Ancestor began to wriggle, then cracked open, and ten strands of golden thread jumped out.
They sketched in the air and quickly transformed into ten talismans!
