#806 - Duan Qinglie
As Li Chengfeng's deductions deepened, his gaze became increasingly profound, as if he could see through the mysteries of heaven and earth.
His aura also became overwhelming, his pressure overflowing, and in the future world, his existence was enough to deter everything, already a top-tier presence.
Zhu Hai sat cross-legged to the side. Li Chengfeng's strength was now incomparable to what it once was, so he didn't dare to disturb him easily.
The current Li Chengfeng was already enough to directly control him, preventing him from being even slightly negligent in the future.
The Qiankun Giant Serpent had transformed into a small snake the thickness of chopsticks, three feet long, and was lying on Li Chengfeng's body.
It felt the Dao rhythm on Li Chengfeng's body, which was also an improvement in its own realm.
The Qiankun Serpent couldn't help but sigh, "How difficult it is for a primordial creature to improve its strength and transform into human form. But by staying by Li Chengfeng's side, I can feel unprecedented progress."
The Qiankun Giant Serpent snuggled tightly beside Li Chengfeng, deeply believing that the unique Dao rhythm on Li Chengfeng's body contained the power to defy fate.
This power was undoubtedly extremely tempting for a primordial creature like it. Therefore, it chose to lie on Li Chengfeng's body, carefully sensing the aura that could change its destiny.
At the same time, Li Chengfeng was deducing cultivation techniques at an astonishing speed, while his Substitute Puppet was safely sensing the enemy's presence in the secret realm.
The Substitute Puppet knew that with its knowledge, deducing cultivation techniques would only be a waste of time, so it chose another way to deal with this trial.
In this contest against time, Li Chengfeng chose to hide himself, thereby exhausting the opponent's patience.
He keenly sensed that the mysterious "Intent" had quietly approached, but he did not act rashly.
He used illusionary techniques to cleverly hide his tracks, and the other party also seemed to be waiting for him to make the first move.
This was a contest of patience, to see who could last until the end.
Li Chengfeng's Substitute Puppet was a little anxious, because it was only one bead away from collecting all the beads, while the opponent only had one of its beads.
As long as the other party didn't show up, Li Chengfeng couldn't be considered successful.
Such a situation was undoubtedly the most advantageous for the other party.
However, Li Chengfeng did not panic because of this. The purpose of this trial was to temper his heart in the mortal world, not to compete for the Holy Maiden or the beads.
As long as he could last until the end of the trial, he would have completed the main body's mission.
Thinking of this, Li Chengfeng closed his eyes peacefully, his aura gradually becoming deep and distant, as if he had merged with heaven and earth.
Not far away, a faint shadow was constantly changing at every special angle. This was "Intent," and it was Duan Qinglie, who cultivated the Great Heart Intent Technique.
Duan Qinglie had been hiding for a long time, and he felt that he had a dominant advantage in this trial.
As long as his beads were not obtained by the other party, then the other party would be considered to have failed the trial.
Even if the other party obtained twelve beads, what use would they be? As long as he was careful and looked for an opportunity to kill with one blow, because he was "Intent," he could hide his aura, making it difficult for the other party to find him.
This trial would depend on who had stronger patience. Therefore, he was not in a hurry, but quietly waiting for an opportunity.
He and Li Chengfeng's Substitute Puppet had the same idea, so they were stalemated here, neither willing to make the first move.
However, this stalemate gave Li Chengfeng's main body ample time to deduce cultivation techniques.
As the deduction deepened, Li Chengfeng's eyes became bright and energetic.
He discovered that as long as these thirteen cultivation techniques were combined, they would become a supreme cultivation technique. Of course, what he was deducing was based on his own insights and understanding, incorporating his own Minor Destiny Technique for fusion.
He was trying to deduce a set of cultivation techniques that belonged to him, in order to cope with this trial.
He didn't know what kind of whimsical cultivation technique the other party would eventually fuse these thirteen cultivation techniques into, but he was only using the twelve cultivation techniques in his hand, based on his understanding of various cultivation techniques, plus the power of Minor Destiny integrated into them for completion.
He wanted to see if this could deduce a brand new cultivation technique.
Even if it was wrong or right, he would try.
Deducing cultivation techniques was as easy and comfortable for Li Chengfeng as a daily meal. He had everything under control and was not impatient at all.
At this time, thirteen runes slowly rotated in front of him. He had already condensed all thirteen cultivation techniques into these runes, and then began the tedious process of combination and separation. This was his usual deduction method.
The runes merged with each other and broke apart, as if performing a silent dance.
Li Chengfeng's Minor Destiny Rune was like a greedy hunter, constantly devouring those broken runes, and then he would create new runes based on his understanding and insights.
In this way, his Minor Destiny power was also constantly increasing.
Soon, a brand new cultivation technique was thoroughly understood in his mind.
Then, Li Chengfeng performed reverse deduction, and soon understood the cultivation method of "Intent."
Of course, the "Intent" cultivation method he understood was not necessarily exactly the same as the other party's cultivation technique, but it incorporated his unique insights and understanding.
He immediately fed this understanding back to the Substitute Puppet, and the Substitute Puppet quickly understood what he meant.
So, the Substitute Puppet began to quickly cultivate the secret method to deal with "Intent."
Li Chengfeng knew that "Intent" was emptiness, which had the same effect as his own divine sense cultivation method.
Therefore, he taught the Substitute Puppet one of the moves in the divine sense cultivation method that dealt with "Intent"—the Battle Soul Technique—and let it quickly cultivate it.
However, the Battle Soul Technique could not be successfully cultivated overnight.
What the Substitute Puppet was cultivating was actually just a needle specifically for dealing with "Intent."
Li Chengfeng was not in a hurry. He believed that as long as he cultivated slowly, he would eventually achieve something.
Later, his eyes were bright, as if he had a deeper understanding. It was a pity that he was not the main body.
If the main body were here, he would definitely be able to capture the other party's hidden tracks in an instant, because the main body possessed the Eye of Truth and countless secret techniques.
In comparison, as a Substitute Puppet, there were still too many insights, cultivation, and learning that needed to be done, otherwise it would be impossible to keep up with the pace of the master's main body.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, he was just a Substitute Puppet after all, a product of tempering the heart in the mortal world.
Despite his emotions, he did not give up cultivating.
He closed his eyes and began to concentrate on cultivating. His divine sense quickly boiled, forming a divine sense array.
This array simulated the cultivation trajectory of the thirteen cultivation techniques, like a lightning rod, condensed with the power of love, and its power was very terrifying.
With the secret method passed down by Li Chengfeng's main body, the Substitute Puppet's confidence in dealing with "Duan Qinglie" greatly increased, and he was no longer so anxious.
At this time, "Duan Qinglie" was already unbearably anxious.
