The Six Paths Puppets

Zi Yan loved the ability of the Animal Path the most. With this ability, if she encountered someone she couldn't defeat, she could simply call for backup.

Next was the ability of the Preta Path. After being optimized and improved by the system, the Preta Path, which originally could only absorb chakra, could now absorb Dou Qi as well.

Unless the enemy's strength far surpassed that of Xiao Yixian and the others, or they used soul attacks or physical attacks, they could use the Preta Path's ability to absorb the enemy's attacks.

After the Preta Path came the Human Path. The Human Path's ability leaned towards soul attacks, allowing the user to forcibly read the target's memories or extract their soul.

However, the Human Path's ability could only be used on those weaker than the user. It couldn't be used on those stronger, so it was considered more of a supportive ability.

The Naraka Path's ability was also supportive, allowing the summoning of the King of Hell to repair damaged Six Paths Puppets.

As for the Asura Path, it was similar to a robotic puppet, capable of installing various high-tech weapons within its body.

Since Xiao Yixian and the others weren't skilled in crafting puppets, the task of creating the Six Paths Puppets naturally fell to Xiao Feng.

Although creating the Six Paths Puppets was an easy task for Xiao Feng, crafting puppets that would satisfy Xiao Yixian and the others was not so simple.

After all, Xiao Yixian and Queen Medusa were both Dou Ancestor-level experts. If they encountered enemies that required the summoning of the Six Paths Puppets for assistance, the enemies' strength would undoubtedly be formidable.

Therefore, the Six Paths Puppets crafted by Xiao Feng needed to at least withstand attacks from Dou Ancestor-level experts, or even Dou Venerate-level experts, to meet the combat requirements of Xiao Yixian and the others.

In the world of "Naruto," Nagato used the corpses of other ninjas to create the Six Paths Puppets.

Although Xiao Feng could also use the corpses of Dou Ancestor-level experts to create Dou Ancestor-level puppets, such corpses weren't easy to come by.

Originally, Xiao Feng had a total of four Dou Ancestor-level corpses. One was used to create the Sky Demon Puppet, another was used to resurrect the Heavenly Flame Venerable and the remaining two were far from sufficient.

Xiao Feng also couldn't just go around killing Dou Ancestor-level experts from other factions to create the Six Paths Puppets, as that would only provoke widespread anger.

After careful consideration, Xiao Feng ultimately decided to use eighth-tier Xuan Yin Stones to craft the Six Paths Puppets for Xiao Yixian and the others.

The so-called "eighth-tier Xuan Yin Stones" were stones capable of withstanding attacks from Dou Venerate level experts.

The Six Paths Puppets crafted from eighth-tier Xuan Yin Stones would have defenses comparable to eighth-tier magical beasts. Even if their strength and speed were slightly weaker, they would still be on par with Dou Ancestor-level experts.

Of course, eighth-tier Xuan Yin Stones weren't easy to obtain. They were located in the deepest part of the Abyssal Chasm, where the Yin energy was most concentrated.

The Yin winds there were extremely terrifying, making it difficult even for Dou Venerate-level experts to withstand.

Under normal circumstances, not to mention Dou Ancestor-level experts, even Dou Venerate-level experts couldn't brave those Yin winds to forcibly mine eighth-tier Xuan Yin Stones.

Xiao Feng was no exception, but he didn't plan to brave the Yin winds to reach the bottom of the Abyssal Chasm. Instead, he intended to use the power of the Stone-Stone Fruit to directly tunnel his way to the deepest part of the Abyssal Chasm.

"Whoosh!!!"

After having breakfast with Queen Medusa and the others, Xiao Feng immediately took out the Imperial Arm [Dimensional Matrix] and teleported himself to the edge of the Abyssal Chasm cliff.

"Sizzle..."

As Xiao Feng willed it, the incredibly hard Xuan Yin Stone beneath his feet turned into something like quicksand, causing him to sink into it.

Xiao Feng followed the Xuan Yin Stone vein downward, diving nearly ten thousand meters before finally stopping.

At this point, Xiao Feng could feel a tremendous resistance in the Xuan Yin Stone vein ahead, likely indicating the presence of eighth-tier Xuan Yin Stones.

It wasn't that the power of the Stone-Stone Fruit had failed, but rather that Xiao Feng's own strength was too weak. The power of the Stone-Stone Fruit was proportional to his strength.

Previously, when Xiao Feng used the Stone-Stone Fruit's power to manipulate Mo Gang Stone and Xuan Yin Stone to craft treasures and puppets, he had already noticed the difference between the two.

Mo Gang Stone was only a fifth-tier crafting material. When Xiao Feng manipulated it, it felt as easy as squeezing a balloon.

When Xiao Feng manipulated sixth-tier Xuan Yin Stone, it felt slightly more difficult, but still relatively easy, like adding a bit of water to the balloon.

When Xiao Feng started manipulating seventh-tier Xuan Yin Stone, it felt like adding some sand to the balloon, making it a bit more strenuous.

Now, as Xiao Feng attempted to manipulate eighth-tier Xuan Yin Stone, it felt like the balloon was filled with nearly dried cement, making it extremely difficult to control.

Xiao Feng spent several hours extracting several hundred tons of eighth-tier Xuan Yin Stone from the vein in that area.

After obtaining enough eighth-tier Xuan Yin Stone, Xiao Feng didn't linger. He used the Imperial Arm [Dimensional Matrix] again to teleport himself back to the headquarters of the Supreme Alliance.

Under the expectant gazes of Queen Medusa and the others, Xiao Feng announced that he would be going into seclusion to craft the Six Paths Puppets and locked himself in the crafting room.

Unfortunately, what Queen Medusa and the others didn't know was that after entering the crafting room, Xiao Feng summoned ten shadow clones, handed the task of crafting the Six Paths Puppets to them, and then went out to have some fun.

"Whoosh!!!"

With the appearance of a purple Bagua array pattern, Xiao Feng suddenly appeared in Ya Fei's private room.

Seeing that Ya Fei wasn't in her room, Xiao Feng quickly used his spiritual sense to scan the entire Miter family, soon discovering Ya Fei working in the patriarch's study.

Since Ya Fei had taken over as the head of the Miter family with Hai Bodong's support, she had to handle a lot of affairs daily and was usually quite busy.

To give Ya Fei a surprise, Xiao Feng chose an unconventional approach, using the Stone-Stone Fruit's power to tunnel underground and head towards the patriarch's study.

Hidden in the shadows, protecting Ya Fei, Esdeath immediately noticed the head emerging from the ground.

Just as Esdeath was about to eliminate the intruder, she realized it was Xiao Feng and quickly hid again.

At this moment, Ya Fei was focused on her work and didn't notice the sudden appearance of a head in the room.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng showed a mischievous grin and quietly sneaked under Ya Fei's desk.

The first thing that appeared before Xiao Feng was a pair of long, jade-like legs, as if carved from ivory.
