Speaking of the Eight-Star Kunwu Sword, this sword can be traced back to ancient times.
The giant stone man gripped the sword as if it were an ant. "Who are you?"
He could tell that Sheng Ning was a Foundation Establishment cultivator with five elemental roots. In ancient times, spiritual energy was abundant, and cultivators with five elemental roots were everywhere.
Nowadays, resources on the mainland are scarce, and spiritual energy has become thin.
That's why everyone was focused on cultivating only one spiritual root.
Therefore, Sheng Ning appeared exceptionally different in front of the giant stone man.
Why do you save these ordinary people?
Sheng Ning frowned as she looked at the colossal stone figures before her, which were as tall as mountains. "If I don't save them, am I supposed to just watch them die?"
What she said is certainly correct.
The giant stone man looked her up and down, then sighed, "The tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind. You are too ostentatious, and you will surely bring disaster upon yourself."
Sheng Ning, holding a long sword, curled his lips upon hearing this, "Death is inevitable for everyone; it may be as light as a feather or as heavy as Mount Tai."
"Everyone will die. I will, you... maybe not, but I still want to say that the world is already in chaos, so why can't I make it even more chaotic?"
"It's better to reshuffle the deck than for so many people to be complaining now."
Sheng Ning rarely reveals her inner thoughts.
In her view, the best life is one where everyone in the Invincible Sect is doing well, the people have enough to eat, and everyone lives in peace and contentment.
However, the appearance of some things ruined this beauty. Since no one stood up to defend her, she would be the one to take the lead.
After all, she had already died once.
Death is not so terrible.
What's terrifying is everyone's numbness after being exploited, the people having no food, and so many cultivators who genuinely want to cultivate being exploited by the four major sects.
The Stone Men, as guardian demons, are a species whose origins are unknown and whose cultivation levels are difficult to discern.
Even Wu Hula Hu, I've only ever heard of them.
Sheng Ning had just said so much, but the giant stone man stood right in front of him unmoved. He immediately said, "Hey, as the guardian of the demon race, quickly capture them all!"
"That despicable human dared to lay a hand on the offerings to the Demon Lord! She's asking for trouble!"
Before he could finish speaking, the giant stone man suddenly turned around, raised his hand, and flicked his charred body with his fingers.
"First of all, I'm not called 'Hey,' I have a name, Little Stone!"
"Secondly, you're too noisy; it hurts my ears."
With just that one blow, the body that had just been punched by Lu Qingan was instantly torn to pieces.
However, Wuhulahu does not live by relying on his body.
His body was torn to pieces, and a gray ghost floated in mid-air.
"Whose guardian are you anyway? If you keep acting like this, believe me, I'll have the Demon Lord tear off those broken stones from your body!"
His entire soul was trembling as he breathed heavily.
Sheng Ning watched him bouncing around and laughed, "Villains die from talking too much. The more a villain talks, the faster he dies."
"Does Lord Wu also wish to die so soon?"
Wuhulahu was so shocked by the smile on her face that her soul trembled again.
After all, Sheng Ning was someone who had infiltrated the Demon Clan.
When she infiltrated the demon realm, the saintess did not say that they should be allowed in.
Thinking of this, Wuhulahu immediately shut his mouth and put on a cool and aloof act.
That's ridiculous; he's not the talkative villain he is.
Seeing that he had shut his mouth, Sheng Ning then looked up at the giant stone man and said, "There is no spiritual energy fluctuation on your body."
In this world, all things with consciousness have evolved to possess consciousness over millions of years.
Just like Chirp, even though it is just a small branch on the divine tree, it has gained divine consciousness.
How could a giant stone man, capable of manipulating so many rocks, not possess spiritual power?
"Chirp chirp!"
"Because he is not the product of the natural world, but rather someone is manipulating things behind the scenes."
Bai Ze's voice clearly explained Sheng Ning's doubts.
He took a few short steps and came to the stone man's feet. He pointed to the stone man's ankle and said, "In ancient times, there were people who specialized in puppetry."
"A puppeteer who has reached a certain level of skill can assemble puppets from anything."
"He is one of the puppets. It is not an ordinary person who can manipulate rocks to form a puppet of such a shape."
His voice was childish, and his little face was sunburned red under the scorching sun.
Afraid that he would get a tan from the sun, Sheng Ning searched her storage bag and pulled out an umbrella to hold over his head. "Puppet master?"
"Because puppetry is prone to backlash, no one has practiced it for a long time, and puppets have long since disappeared from the continent," Lu Qing'an said, having taken off his concealment talisman and approaching the giant stone man's feet.
He went to the ankle that Bai Ze had pointed to and, sure enough, saw a small stone there that was different from the rock.
This is the origin of controlling puppets.
Unexpectedly, there were puppeteers on the mainland who practiced puppetry. Lu Qing'an took two steps back and looked at the giant stone man.
"Who is your master?"
“My master told me to wait here for the savior, and I waited for him a few days ago.”
The giant stone man's words were like a huge rock smashing into the calm surface of a lake.
Bai Ze rubbed his ears in disbelief, then controlled Qiu Qiu to take to the air and stand facing the giant stone man's crimson eyes.
"Who is it? Who is the savior your master speaks of?"
Seeing his excited expression, the stone man said expressionlessly, "But I'm not sure, because she said she knows everything about this world."
"She said she could save the world, but she's just a Golden Core cultivator."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Ning frowned. She found an unused talisman, dipped her finger in cinnabar, and then her finger flew across the talisman.
Soon after, she arrived in front of the giant stone man on her sword. "Is it her?"
The giant stone man raised his eyelids slightly, nodding with obvious weariness. "It was her. She uttered the words our master once spoke. She is... the savior..."
“I have no more energy,” the stone man gasped. “My master told me to wait here for the savior, and then he went west.”
"I gave her everything, my mission is complete..."
The reason why puppets can move like humans is because the puppeteer infuses their own energy into them.
The owner of the giant stone figure had long since passed away. Before leaving, he consulted the oracle and placed the giant stone figure here.
At that time, the demons had not yet incorporated this area into the demon realm.
The stone men waited for many more years before finally witnessing the arrival of their so-called savior.
“You are too ostentatious, and you cannot...can save the world. My master said...that only a savior can..."
Having exhausted its last bit of energy, the giant stone man didn't even finish uttering its last words before the red light in its eyes completely vanished.
Huge stones were scattered all over the ground.
Fortunately, Lu Qingan set up a barrier in time to prevent a tragedy from occurring.
