“Supreme?”
Mu Jiutian’s eyes widened the moment he saw Lin Wudao. His cold face was filled with disbelief.
Soon after, he rubbed his eyes hard and confirmed that it really was the Supreme he had seen before.
In an instant, Mu Jiutian’s eyes revealed an unprecedented surprise and excitement.
Whoosh!
After suppressing the excitement in his heart, he immediately arrived in front of Lin Wudao at his fastest speed.
“Mu Jiutian greets the Supreme,” He knelt on the ground and kowtowed piously.
What was that? This person was the Supreme?
Seeing Mu Jiutian’s sudden action, Ji Ruyue was not the only one who was stunned on the spot. The pupils of the surrounding onlookers constricted as well.
Their eyes revealed unprecedented respect and awe.
Lin Wudao was not wearing the Heaven Evasion Cloak or the Mask of the Heavens this time. Therefore, other than Mu Jiutian, no one had seen his true appearance.
In fact, this doppelganger of his that had entered the City of Heavens had also been disguised. It was only a given that he could not show his true face.
“Ji Ruyue greets the Supreme!”
After Mu Jiutian, Ji Ruyue also came to her senses. She immediately knelt and kowtowed in an extremely respectful and pious manner.
“Greetings, Supreme!”
“Greetings, Supreme!”
The rest of the people present, whether they were simply passing by or doing other things, all knelt and kowtowed Lin Wudao. They did not dare to show any disrespect.
It was the same for Great Emperors, Celestial Emperors, and even the high and mighty True Celestials.
Not only was the person wielding a supreme talisman a Supreme in the City of Heavens, but he was also a symbol of power. This was a supreme existence who had proven his Dao to be eternal. It was far beyond their imagination.
If they were not careful and angered the Supreme, not only would they die, but the faction they were in would also be annihilated!
Only when one reached a certain level and height would one understand how terrifying a Supreme was.
“Mu Jiutian, accompany me to a place.”
“Yes, sir.”
Without any hesitation, Mu Jiutian waved his hand and took out an ancient and majestic divine boat. It stopped in the void.
“Ji Ruyue, if you’re free, come along too,” Lin Wudao glanced at Ji Ruyue and pondered for a while before saying.
“Yes, Supreme!”
Upon hearing this, Ji Ruyue immediately felt flattered and hurriedly replied.
Soon after, under the envious and yearning gazes of the surrounding people, Mu Jiutian steered the divine boat and tore through the sky.
In the blink of an eye, they disappeared.
“I didn’t think that the Supreme would come to the City of Heavens again,” Someone said excitedly.
“Mu Jiutian is really lucky to be able to obtain the favor of the Supreme. In the future, he will probably be the Supreme’s exclusive guide.”
“This is fate. Being envious is useless.”
“I heard that Mu Jiutian’s family has encountered a huge change. If the Supreme were to speak up for him, he could resolve it with just a word, right?”
“Not only Mu Jiutian, but Goddess Ji Ruyue is also about to reach the heavens in a single step too…”
Many Great Emperors and Heavenly Emperors sighed with envy.
Although Lin Wudao did not hear it with his own ears, he could imagine it. “Supreme, are we still going to the Ninth Avenue?” On the divine boat, Mu Jiutian asked carefully.
“Yes. I remember that the last time I came, I saw a shop on Ninth Avenue that specializes in selling all kinds of puppets, right? I think it’s called something puppet…”
“Supreme, it’s the Divine Puppet Pavilion,” Mu Jiutian replied respectfully.
He was very familiar with the First Heaven of the City of Heavens. He knew all the shops here like the back of his hand.
“Yes, the Divine Puppet Pavilion. Let’s go there and take a look.”
“Yes, sir.”
After learning of their specific destination, Mu Jiutian immediately steered the divine boat toward Ninth Avenue.
Not long after, they arrived at the Divine Puppet Pavilion.
Looking around, the location of the Divine Puppet Pavilion was not far from the Myriad Treasure Tower where Qian Ruming was. They were both on the same street.
However, compared to the bustling Myriad Treasure Tower, the Divine Puppet Pavilion appeared extremely deserted. It could even be described as empty. Lin Wudao stood there for a long time, but he didn’t see any guests. Behind the counter in the shop, a young man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes was sitting cross-legged on a jade bed, quietly cultivating. His face was as calm as an ancient well, like an old monk meditating.
“Supreme, the owner of the Divine Puppet Pavilion is called Feng Jiuyou. He became a Great Emperor about a thousand years ago. He has unimaginable talent and attainments in the way of the puppets. The puppets that he created are the best of the best. They are extremely powerful. However, Feng Jiuyou is different from the other shop owners in the City of Heavens. He doesn’t accept any divine stones, divine crystals, or divine sources. He only wants lifespan. It is said that he is a madman. To develop stronger and more perfect puppets, he sacrifices his lifespan to refine them. Currently, his lifespan seems to be running out. He still has about five thousand years left,” Mu Jiutian introduced.
Hearing this, Lin Wudao nodded.
What Mu Jiutian said was similar to what he saw with God’s Spiritual Eye.
“Let’s go in and take a look.”
After sizing the place up, Lin Wudao stepped into the Divine Puppet Pavilion.
At this moment, Feng Jiuyou, who heard the commotion, also woke up from his cultivation.
At first, when he glanced at Lin Wudao, he didn’t notice anything unusual. However, when he saw Mu Jiutian and Ji Ruyue beside the latter, his expression changed.
Both Mu Jiutian and Ji Ruyue were famous people in First Heaven. Although Feng Jiuyou had never interacted with them, he knew about them. Seeing them so respectfully accompanying Lin Wudao, Feng Jiuyou suddenly understood that the seemingly ordinary Lin Wudao in his eyes was definitely a big shot.
After all, Ji Ruyue was a True Celestial! Someone who could make her lower her status and serve him carefully was beyond his imagination.
For a moment, Feng Jiuyou couldn’t help but feel nervous and terrified. Although he was a Great Emperor realm expert, he could only be considered a weakling of the lowest status in the City of Heavens. Anyone on the streets would probably be stronger than him.
“Honorable guests, what can I do for you?” Feng Jiuyou asked carefully.
Mu Jiutian and Ji Ruyue didn’t speak and just stood quietly at the side. Only Lin Wudao kept looking around and sizing up the Divine Puppet Pavilion. Inside the Divine Puppet Pavilion was a whole new world. All sorts of puppets came into sight, including war puppets, substitute puppets, metal puppets, wood puppets, water puppets, fire puppets, and so on.
Lin Wudao was dazzled.
The better the quality and the stronger the puppet, the higher the price.
“I heard from Mu Jiutian that you are the most talented and accomplished person in the way of the puppets in the First Heaven of the City of Heavens.
The puppets you create are all of the best quality.”
“Guest, you flatter me too much…”
Feng Jiuyou looked nervous.
“Boss, are all your puppets one-time consumables? Are there puppets that can be used repeatedly and continuously upgraded? If I lose it after using it once, it will be a little troublesome,” Lin Wudao looked around and asked.
Hearing this, Feng Jiuyou’s spirits were lifted.
“Yes. I’ve just created a new batch of gadgets called the undead knight, it should be able to satisfy your needs.”
Rumble!
As he spoke, Feng Jiuyou waved his hand, and a black puppet about three meters tall instantly appeared on the ground.
This puppet was a tall and sturdy savage warrior with a violent aura.
It was wearing armor and holding an ancient black spear. At the same time, it was riding a wild warhorse, emitting a cold and murderous aura.
Whoosh!
As Feng Jiuyou cast a seal, the silent undead knight and its warhorse suddenly came to life under Lin Wudao’s surprised gaze.
A vast killing intent, accompanied by a dense evil aura of hell, surged out like a flood.
It gave people the feeling that a peerless killing god had rushed out from hell and specially came to the human world to reap the lives of all living beings.
In addition, this puppet was also extremely powerful, reaching the Divine Mansion realm.
“Honorable customer, this is a new product that I recently developed. Its greatest feature is that it can be reused and can be continuously upgraded and strengthened. On top of that, the combat strength of the undead knight is invincible within a major realm. Although it is only at the early stage of the Divine Mansion realm, it can defeat and kill all cultivators in the Divine Mansion realm.”
Speaking of the undead knights, Feng Jiuyou’s face revealed a proud expression. He was very satisfied with his work.
“Yes, it’s indeed not bad. However, isn’t the undead knight’s weakness very obvious?” Lin Wudao smiled.
In response, Feng Jiuyou nodded awkwardly.
“Yes, I’ve only just started developing it, so the technology isn’t too mature yet.
At the moment, the undead knight can only be upgraded to the Demigod realm at most. Once it surpasses the Demigod realm, it will be useless and will need to be reforged. In addition, the leveling up of the undead knight also requires the infusion of life force.”
Using lifespan to increase combat strength?
Lin Wudao was surprised.
This undead knight was quite similar to the 12 mourners under his command.
“How much is this thing?”
“One for a thousand years of lifespan,” Feng Jiuyou answered carefully.
A thousand years? One?
Hearing this price, Lin Wudao fell silent.
Good things were indeed expensive. Ordinary people couldn’t afford it.
“How do I level up the undead knight?”
“Oh, it’s like this. I’ve carved a magical life array on the undead knight. As long as you place your palm on the undead knight’s body, you’ll be able to inject life force into it. The higher the cultivation realm, the more life force is required,” Feng Jiuyou explained.
After saying that, he immediately placed his palm on the undead knight. Through God’s Spiritual Eye, Lin Wudao could clearly see that a surge of life force was continuously flowing into the undead knight.
Immediately after, the aura on its body gradually became stronger. Not long after, it had reached the Divine Strength realm!
At this moment, Feng Jiuyou had already lost 500 years of his lifespan..
