Chapter 3508: They All Must Die!
Jade tablets are the most common tool used by cultivators to record information, and this jade tablet was of particularly high quality, surpassing many Dao Venerable realm treasures. Even after so many years, it remained intact.
Lin Moyu took the jade tablet in his hand, his soul stirred slightly, and he received the information inside.
"Today, 180 puppets were manufactured, including 120 third-grade, 40 second-grade, and 20 first-grade."
"The first-grade ones are handed over to the friends from the Great Dao Formation Sect to set up formations, while the second and third-grade ones will have formations set up by us from the Dao Puppet Sect."
"The great battle continues, and puppet materials are already insufficient. Our manufactured Black Slaughter Puppets have made great contributions, slaying several more powerful beings from the Black Blood Realm."
"It's a pity that the materials for making Black Slaughter Puppets are too scarce to mass-produce. Otherwise, we would surely win this battle."
"The people from the Great Dao Formation Sect are too protective, unwilling to give us their strongest formations. They don't have enough formation masters, and their efficiency is extremely low. This sect doesn't consider the bigger picture, they deserve to die!"
...
The information was somewhat chaotic, mostly this person's complaints, and the ending was very rushed.
Lin Moyu could imagine that at that time, the battle must have reached this place, and he either retreated or went to join the fight, leaving this jade tablet behind in haste.
From the various complaints, a lot of information could be analyzed.
The owner of the jade tablet was a formation master from the Dao Puppet Sect.
Puppets also needed formations. Without formations, puppets were just immobile lumps.
Although the Dao Puppet Sect was skilled in making puppets, they were not as good at formations as the Great Dao Formation Sect.
During the Origin Catastrophe, the owner of the jade tablet felt that the Great Dao Formation Sect should have shared their best formations for puppets, allowing the Dao Puppet Sect's formation masters to set up corresponding formations to enhance the puppets' combat power.
But the Great Dao Formation Sect was unwilling to hand over their formations, so this formation master from the Dao Puppet Sect cursed the Great Dao Formation Sect fiercely in his heart, even feeling they deserved to die.
Looking at his tone, there was even a sense of self-righteousness.
However, what he truly thought in his heart is unclear.
Lin Moyu put away the jade tablet. The information in the jade tablet, for him, only helped understand some things that happened in the past. Its real use wasn't very significant.
Looking around, there were also many traces of battle here, indicating that the battle back then had reached inside.
So whether this formation master from the Dao Puppet Sect ultimately made it out alive was hard to say.
Near a pile of rubble, Lin Moyu saw another jade tablet.
The broken stones next to the jade tablet were a bit dark in color, like bloodstains.
Lin Moyu went over and picked up the jade tablet, and the broken stones immediately turned to powder.
The jade tablet was no longer complete, mostly shattered. If there was information recorded inside, it must have been damaged.
As his soul stirred, fragmented information came through.
"The formation of the Black Slaughter Puppet has flaws, why didn't they say so earlier, why?"
"Dead, all dead, no one can escape."
"Haha, idiots from the Great Dao Formation Sect, you didn't give us the formations, so let's all die together!"
"You want to leave? I won't give you the chance!"
The recorded information was even more chaotic and extremely frenzied.
However, from the tone, Lin Moyu could tell that this person was the owner of the previous jade tablet, that formation master from the Dao Puppet Sect who liked to complain.
It seems he didn't manage to escape and ultimately died here.
And before he died, he also vented his hatred towards the Great Dao Formation Sect.
The formation masters from the Great Dao Formation Sect wanted to escape, but he stopped them, and they died here together.
Great Dao realm powerhouses, because their Dao hearts are firm enough, once they decide on something, it's very difficult to change.
So a firm Dao heart also has two sides; sometimes it can make people become stubborn.
"So, the formation of the Black Slaughter Puppet had flaws. No wonder they lost their reason."
"If the Great Dao Formation Sect didn't reveal this, it was indeed a bit too much."
"Could it be that the ones who finally attacked here weren't external enemies, but the Black Slaughter Puppets? If that's true, then their deaths were quite unjust."
Lin Moyu sighed lightly. The events of the past were long gone, the dust had settled, and nothing could be changed.
His gaze continued to scan the interior of the building, searching for traces left behind from the past.
This was the center of the entire puppet factory, arguably the most valuable place. And since the people here back then couldn't escape, if there were any materials or treasures, they would only be left here.
Lin Moyu looked around but didn't find anything.
Feeling slightly disappointed, he suddenly saw a glimmer of light seeping out from a small hole.
The light was very faint, but Lin Moyu accurately captured it.
There were many small holes on the ground, all made by weapons inside the building.
These weapons had very strong attack power, products of the combination of formations and technology, probably made by the Dao Puppet Sect.
There had been a great battle inside the building back then, and these weapons had been used, forming many fist-sized holes in the ground.
Lin Moyu walked to the hole and looked down, seeing that there was actually another layer below.
"That's right, back then those formation masters from the Great Dao Formation Sect also had to set up formations for the puppets. To prevent the formation masters from the Dao Puppet Sect from learning, they must have sought other places."
"It makes sense that there's a second layer here."
He had searched around earlier and hadn't found an entrance to the next level, obviously this entrance had been deliberately sealed.
Lin Moyu punched the ground, and cracks immediately appeared on the surface.
However, the cracks were only on the surface. To break through this layer of ground, his strength was still a bit lacking.
Not just him, even Su Pu would find it very difficult.
The Skeleton Hell appeared in response, and the Hell Fiends all crawled on the ground, beginning to gnaw at the surface.
If they couldn't break it, then they would eat it.
The Hell Fiends could eat anything. Although their realm wasn't high enough, they could still eat away the ground, just at a slower speed.
If speed wasn't enough, then they would make up for it with numbers. A large number of Hell Fiends lay on the ground, biting non-stop, one mouthful after another, constantly making grating sounds.
Under the continuous gnawing of the Hell Fiends, the ground began to show obvious concavity, and a hole was rapidly forming.
Lin Moyu wasn't in a hurry. While the Hell Fiends were gnawing at the ground, he continued to scan the surroundings, trying not to miss any detail, ensuring true thoroughness.
There were still many divine runes inside the building. These divine runes were once part of a powerful formation. Unfortunately, this formation could no longer exert its power now, only maintaining the most basic function of protecting the building from the erosion of time.
Lin Moyu tried to learn divine rune knowledge from the broken formation, but it was quite difficult. He could only do his best to try.
After a full half day, the ground was finally gnawed into a hole over five meters in diameter, revealing the situation of the next layer.
Lin Moyu entered and his pupils suddenly contracted. Several Black Slaughter Puppets were lying around.
But upon closer inspection, these Black Slaughter Puppets had long been smashed, and the spirits inside had long since died.
There had also been a fierce battle here. Being underground, it was better preserved, and many bloodstains could still be seen.
There were even several bloodstains from the mouths of the Black Slaughter Puppets.
Then Lin Moyu saw a section of a corpse. The corpse still emitted a powerful aura; it was the body of a Heavenly Venerable realm being.
