Chapter 186: Replace a Concession Token
After regaining control of the Plane, Fang Che took out materials, melted them down, and used them to condense various formations, finally obtaining a circular tool.
Subsequently, Fang Che buried most of the tools in the newly expanded area, and placed a small portion in the area where formations had been previously arranged.
Once all the tools were buried, Fang Che mobilized energy to activate them.
The tools instantly concealed their traces, and as the Plane vibrated, the tools connected with the original formations, further enhancing the Real Domain's concealment ability!
Then, Fang Che placed the newly refined Concession Token and statue together, positioned them in a fixed spot, and infused them with energy.
The statue and the Concession Token slowly disappeared and merged with the formation.
Immediately after, the area where the statue disappeared emitted an even richer curse energy, and at the same time, the effect of the Concession Token also improved.
At this point, Fang Che discovered that he had arranged enough Concession Tokens to replace one of the Emperor Plane's tokens, while ensuring the effectiveness of the Concession Token would not decrease.
Fang Che immediately went to the location of the eight Emperor Plane Concession Tokens and set up a formation.
As the formation was activated, eight spherical tools, each encasing a Concession Token, 'drilled' out of the formation and floated in mid-air.
Fang Che observed the eight spherical tools and found that one of them was constantly shaking, while the other seven spherical tools remained stable.
The one that could be replaced at this time was the constantly shaking spherical tool; its position was already unstable.
Fang Che recalled the refining method and materials for this spherical tool, then used his own Concession Token as the core to refine a brand new spherical tool.
This tool had the Suppression of the Plane Will and the seizure of the Plane Will's formation removed, so it was quickly refined successfully.
Removing these two formations was also to prevent his Real Domain from being affected.
Furthermore, the original Suppression and seizure abilities on the tool had already been automatically destroyed after Fang Che seized the Plane Will.
Now, by not adding these two abilities, Fang Che could better integrate with other tools.
If he were to add the two abilities, it would instead affect the replacement process.
After refining the brand new spherical tool, Fang Che infused it with energy, confirmed that the tool could be used normally, and then placed this new tool on the formation.
The next second, the formation exhaled a gentle breeze, blowing away the shaking spherical tool and guiding the brand new spherical tool to its precise position.
Subsequently, the new spherical tool and the old seven spherical tools sank into the formation and disappeared.
At this moment, the first Concession Token replacement was complete; there were no peculiar changes in the Real Domain, and the formation was not affected.
Everything seemed as if it had never happened, except for an extra sphere on the ground.
Fang Che picked up the extra sphere, released energy to vibrate the tool, and the tool instantly melted, allowing Fang Che to retrieve the Concession Token inside.
At this time, the Concession Token was still as good as new, without any signs of use.
Fang Che threw the Concession Token into his Niwan Palace and silently thought: Observe.
Illusory eyes appeared out of thin air, carefully observing the condition of the Concession Token.
A moment later, based on the improved method, Fang Che confirmed that the Concession Token was not tainted with any aura related to the Real Domain, making it safe to sell.
Afterward, Fang Che threw the Concession Token into his storage ring, then re-atomized his body, spreading throughout the entire Real Domain to continue controlling it and prepare for future advancement.
After cultivating for a period, Fang Che returned to the Emperor Plane, collected new materials from the Iron Hand Group, purchased some cultivation resources for Curse Masters, and then returned to the Niu Jiao Ren Plane.
Upon returning to the Niu Jiao Ren Plane, Fang Che discovered that Niu Xuanhai had performed another ritual.
Fang Che dispatched a Voodoo Doll to collect the sculptures and materials from the underground cave into the Real Domain, then refilled the cave, and went to find Niu Xuanhai.
Niu Xuanhai was currently hiding in a large village. Fang Che passed under the village wall and quickly found Niu Xuanhai's whereabouts.
To Fang Che's surprise, Niu Xuanhai was already wearing the uniform of a patrol team and was patrolling with others.
Seeing this, Fang Che did not immediately go to meet him. Only after Niu Xuanhai finished his patrol and returned to his residence did Fang Che manipulate the Voodoo Doll to appear before Niu Xuanhai.
Fang Che directly threw out a pile of cultivation resources, then wrote on the ground: "How did you get into the patrol team?"
Niu Xuanhai put away the materials and smiled: "Recently, inspections have been strict. After hiding for a while, I found my father's old comrade-in-arms;
I risked telling him that I was ostracized by the villagers, then stole a pile of resources, awakened as a Warrior Professional, and then fled the village;
My father's old comrade-in-arms was good to me. He told me to continue appearing under a false identity, and then he arranged for me to join the patrol team. With the help of my father's old comrade-in-arms, I was able to survive."
Upon hearing this, Fang Che pondered for a moment, then took out a pile of precious tools and continued to write on the ground:
"These are good things for your development. I will provide you with some more materials. Use these materials to set up formations that hide the Curse Master Professional, which can deceive more Professionals."
Niu Xuanhai immediately put away these materials and excitedly promised:
"I will work hard to get promoted. In the future, I will definitely be able to hold more rituals to help you out of your predicament."
Fang Che ignored these words and continued to write on the ground: "Besides holding rituals, I also need you to help me collect materials from Other Planes."
After being strengthened, Fang Che's Revenge Evil Mirror could use materials from Other Planes to find traces of Other Planes.
However, Fang Che had never used this ability before, nor had he ever searched for materials from Other Planes.
Because ever since he seized Other Planes, Fang Che discovered that materials from Other Planes would be immediately detected by him upon entering the Real Domain.
The Emperor Plane was stronger than Fang Che, and the Plane Will of the Emperor Plane could also pinpoint materials from Other Planes.
Moreover, the Emperor Plane could definitely find traces of Other Planes through these materials.
If Fang Che were to collect materials from Other Planes from the Emperor Plane, he would be competing with the Emperor Plane for resources, and by then, Fang Che wouldn't even know how he died.
After coming to this Niu Jiao Ren Plane, Fang Che had also been searching for materials from Other Planes through the Voodoo Doll.
As for the idea of asking the Horned People for help, Fang Che had never considered it.
Because Horned People of higher status would not be fooled by Fang Che, and those of lower status, even if fooled, would not be able to find resources from Other Planes.
And for Niu Xuanhai, a stranger among the Horned People, to become a patrol member in an unfamiliar place, his father's comrade-in-arms must have great power.
If he could get this person's help, Niu Xuanhai would quickly develop, and thus, Fang Che actively asked Niu Xuanhai to search for materials from Other Planes.
+++
Chapter 187 Obtaining Materials from Other Planes
Niu Xuanhai, who had offended the Voodoo Doll and needed to find materials from Other Planes, answered without hesitation:
"No problem, I will buy some materials from Other Planes from my father's comrades. He had invaded Other Planes before and obtained things from them."
Upon hearing this, Fang Che controlled the Voodoo Doll to write on the ground: "What is the cost to purchase these materials? I can provide it to you."
Niu Xuanhai replied: "I'll go ask for you right now."
After saying this, Niu Xuanhai immediately took out a communication token.
Seeing this, Fang Che controlled the Voodoo Doll to reach out and stop Niu Xuanhai, then wrote on the ground: "Don't expose me. Think of an excuse yourself."
Niu Xuanhai smiled: "No need to worry. The things my father's comrade obtained from Other Planes are all unusable, they are scrap.
He has always been trying to sell these things for cultivation resources. He even asked me for help before, but I didn't have the connections, so I didn't agree to him.
Now that you are willing to buy, I can use the opportunity to sell these resources to leave this place and perform a few more rituals."
Fang Che immediately relaxed, nodded slightly, and no longer stopped Niu Xuanhai.
Niu Xuanhai injected energy into the communication token and said: "Uncle, I contacted some Horned People I know today.
I packaged what you said about selling resources and told them, and they are very interested in these resources."
A voice of concern quickly came from the communication token: "My materials are not very useful, don't sell them to friends."
Niu Xuanhai replied: "Don't worry, Uncle, those people are all fair-weather friends, and they haven't seen my true appearance.
Moreover, none of them are locals. I'll just run away after I trick them, and they won't be able to find me."
After Niu Xuanhai finished speaking, a rather excited voice came from the communication token: "Come to me, and I'll talk to you about selling the resources."
"Yes, sir." Niu Xuanhai put away the communication token and asked the Voodoo Doll: "How much do you want?"
The Voodoo Doll immediately wrote on the ground: "As much as you have, I want it all. Of course, don't ask for too much this time, I'm worried he'll suspect you."
Fang Che only needed one material from Other Planes to lock onto them.
However, Fang Che was not sure how many Plane materials Niu Xuanhai's father's comrade had. To avoid waste, buying all the materials was the best option.
Anyway, Fang Che had many Concession Tokens, and selling some of them would ensure he wouldn't lack resources.
Niu Xuanhai saw the message Fang Che wrote and smiled: "I'll go see my father's comrade now. Please wait a moment."
Then, Niu Xuanhai quickly left.
After Fang Che waited patiently for a while, Niu Xuanhai quickly returned to the room.
Niu Xuanhai held up a token and showed off: "My father's comrade's business is helping a certain patriarch.
He gave me a temporary pass token that can go anywhere. Once I complete this business, he will also give me a permanent pass token.
Not only that, wherever I go, the local officer will help me conceal my identity to prevent my whereabouts from being discovered!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Che was in a good mood.
With this token, Niu Xuanhai could go to various places to capture Professionals to complete rituals, and someone would help him conceal his identity, greatly reducing the possibility of exposure.
Then, Fang Che controlled the Voodoo Doll to write a message on the ground: "Have you given me the materials from Other Planes yet?"
Niu Xuanhai looked outside, and seeing no one around, he took out his storage ring and poured out a pile of fragmented items.
Then, Niu Xuanhai took out a list and placed it next to the items, answering in a low voice: "The list contains the materials they need."
After Fang Che controlled the Voodoo Doll to check the list, he directly took out the materials marked on the list.
After taking out all the materials, the Voodoo Doll put away the pile of materials from Other Planes, then wrote on the ground:
"I'm leaving now. When we meet next time, you can help me collect more materials from Other Planes."
Then, Fang Che controlled the Voodoo Doll to burrow underground.
And Fang Che, on the other hand, mobilized the power of the curse master gem and returned to the Real Domain.
Upon returning to the Real Domain, Fang Che atomized his body and spread out, then, from the perspective of a Plane, observed the materials Niu Xuanhai provided.
He discovered that these materials emitted three different auras, indicating they came from three different Planes.
Fang Che re-condensed his body and separated the materials from the three Planes.
Then, Fang Che took out paper and pen and quickly wrote down the items needed to strengthen the Revenge Evil Mirror.
The current Revenge Evil Mirror required sacrificing limbs as a price to search for Other Planes.
Based on previous experience in finding people, after paying these prices, it was impossible to recover through items.
Originally, Fang Che hadn't expected to find materials from Other Planes so quickly. Therefore, what Fang Che had previously needed the Iron Hand Group to collect were materials for refining Concession Tokens.
Now, he had to write another list of materials needed for Concession Tokens.
After writing down all the materials, Fang Che returned to the Emperor Plane and went back to the Iron Hand Group.
As soon as he returned to the Iron Hand Group, Fang Che found that the Iron Hand Group had been put on alert, and many patrol sentries had been added.
And just then, a Professional at the entrance ran up to Fang Che and said: "Fang Che, Vice Leader Li Xing is looking for you. You should go see him."
Fang Che nodded and asked: "I see many sentries have been added. What happened to the Iron Hand Group?"
The Professional who reported to Fang Che replied: "The group is preparing to help a group of people advance soon, so they want us to guard against others causing trouble."
Fang Che nodded in sudden understanding: "So that's it. I'll go find the Vice Leader now."
Then, Fang Che arrived at Li Xing's office and knocked on the door.
After the door opened, Fang Che was about to salute, but Li Xing stopped him and pulled Fang Che's hand, leading him into the room.
Li Xing closed the door and activated a bunch of formations, then said somewhat nervously: "The Leader is injured."
Upon hearing this, Fang Che's expression became serious.
The Leader of the Iron Hand Group, Su Ye, was the strongest in the nearby area, with a strength reaching the seventh-tier.
Before Fang Che's advancement, the problem the Iron Hand Group had mentioned was where Su Ye's opportunity to advance to the eighth-tier was, which clearly meant he had already met some of the requirements for eighth-tier advancement.
Su Ye had experienced many things to achieve his current strength and had enough enemies.
If the news of his injury spread, it would not be good for Fang Che.
Fang Che immediately asked: "Is the Leader alright?"
Li Xing replied worriedly: "It will take at least half a month to recover. For now, we can only announce to the outside that we are helping a group of people advance to hide the secret of the Leader's injury."
Fang Che nodded in sudden understanding, then comforted him: "Half a month will pass quickly, senior, you don't need to worry."
"I'm not worried about that." Li Xing sighed and said: "Do you know, the Leader was injured while searching for an opportunity to advance!"
+++
Chapter 188: Strengthening the Evil Mirror of Revenge Again
Fang Che did not expect that the leader, Su Ye, was actually injured while searching for an Opportunity to advance.
It seems that even if one obtains the desired answer from the Plane Will, it does not mean everything will go smoothly.
Li Xing continued, "The location of the leader's Opportunity is relatively close to other top-tier Planes; after the leader crossed the Void Realm to get there, he was attacked by two experts from a hostile Plane; the leader paid the price of being injured to struggle and kill one Professional, and then, with the help of a Concession Token, successfully escaped that Plane. Speaking of which, we still have to thank you."
Fang Che heard this and immediately asked, "Do you still need a Concession Token? I can spare one here."
Li Xing's eyes lit up, and he smiled, "The reason I told you about these things today was to ask you to purchase a Concession Token from the Soul Master; since you possess a Concession Token yourself, we are naturally happy to purchase it. I wonder what you need?"
Fang Che handed the Concession Token he had previously replaced to Li Xing and replied, "I want all kinds of Materials."
"I will sign a contract with you right now." Li Xing took the Concession Token, quickly picked up pen and paper, and wrote the contract.
Fang Che watched from the side for a moment and found that this contract was the same as before, only the resources the Iron Hand Group was willing to provide were much higher than before.
It seems that Leader Su Ye's injury has stimulated the Iron Hand Group.
To protect their leader and help him obtain his Opportunity, the Iron Hand Group is very willing to expend resources.
This is good news for Fang Che.
Li Xing finished writing the contract, handed it to Fang Che, and said, "In the future, we hope to purchase more Concession Tokens. If you have any spare Concession Tokens, you can sell them to us. The price will definitely not be lower than today's!"
"No problem." Fang Che agreed to Cultivate readily and released a stream of energy, which merged into the contract.
Li Xing also took out the iron hand gang badge and pressed it onto the contract; the contract took effect instantly.
Subsequently, Fang Che took out the list of Materials for strengthening the Revenge Evil Mirror, handed it to Li Xing, and said, "Please help me collect these Materials, Senior. The Materials I needed before should also continue to be searched for."
"No problem." Li Xing agreed, took the list, glanced at it, and said, "I have quite a few special items for strengthening Curse Tools here, but as for the other Materials, I cannot gather them all in a short time."
Fang Che heard this and said, "Then just give me the special items for strengthening Curse Tools first; the other Materials can be given to me in the future."
Li Xing took eight jade pendants specifically for strengthening Curse Tools directly from his Storage Ring and said, "Originally, these items were to be distributed, but now that the leader is injured, in order to gather treatment Materials, the distribution of these items has stopped to be exchanged for healing medicine; now that the leader's healing medicine has been gathered, I can give all these things to you. I will handle the matters regarding the other Curse Masters."
Fang Che took the Materials and thanked him, "Many thanks, Senior. Then this Junior will take his leave now. Regarding the other Materials, I ask that you please collect them as soon as possible."
In fact, after using these special items to strengthen the Revenge Evil Mirror, the strengthening Materials required by the Revenge Evil Mirror would change.
If he continued to use the previously required Materials to strengthen the tool, the strengthening effect would be weakened.
However, to avoid outsiders discovering that Fang Che could precisely determine the strengthening Materials required for Curse Tools, Fang Che still needed to put on a disguise.
As long as Fang Che's ability was not exposed, wasting some Materials was no big deal.
At this time, Li Xing had already obtained the Concession Token and had no other matters requiring Fang Che's help, so he smiled, "Go ahead. I will help you collect the Materials you need as soon as possible and place them in the mailbox at your door."
Fang Che bowed and said, "This Junior takes his leave."
Leaving Li Xing's room, Fang Che returned to his residence, opened the mailbox, put away the Storage Ring inside, and then went out to purchase some Materials needed by Curse Masters before returning directly to the Real Domain.
Upon returning to the Real Domain, Fang Che immediately placed the special items and the Revenge Evil Mirror together and cast the [Spiritual Flash] skill.
The special items immediately merged into the Revenge Evil Mirror, strengthening it.
After using the special items, the abilities of the Revenge Evil Mirror underwent huge changes:
[When an enemy launches a mysterious attack, it can immediately display all useful information about the enemy on the mirror surface; if information about the target one needs to find is attached to the Revenge Evil Mirror, one can discover the target's location without paying any price; if Materials from Other Planes are placed on the Revenge Evil Mirror, one can discover the coordinates of Other Planes. After discovering the Plane coordinates, one needs to pay the price of physical weakness for fifteen days.]
After being strengthened, the price of using the tool to search for Planes changed from losing limbs to temporary weakness, which was now usable.
Subsequently, Fang Che took out the three Plane Materials he had previously selected and placed them on the Revenge Evil Mirror in turns.
After placing the first one out, a map of a Plane instantly appeared on the Revenge Evil Mirror; next to the map, the distance of this Plane from Fang Che was also displayed, as well as the method to connect to this Plane.
Immediately afterward, Fang Che's body became weak.
Fang Che recorded the information on the Revenge Evil Mirror, arduously moved his palm, and placed the second Plane Material on the Revenge Evil Mirror.
However, this time, no map of a Plane was displayed; instead, two entangled Plane auras emanated from it.
Fang Che guessed that this Plane must be under attack by another Plane; otherwise, it would be impossible to release the auras of two Planes simultaneously.
Not long after the Niu Jiao Ren Plane was sealed by the Iron Hand Group, the Plane they had invaded was discovered by another Plane. This luck was truly terrible.
At the same time, Fang Che was also somewhat disappointed; if he could discover that invaded Plane, Fang Che would have a chance to discover the Intruder Plane.
Unfortunately, the ability of the Revenge Evil Mirror was still too weak and needed further strengthening.
Afterward, Fang Che picked up the last piece of Material and placed it on the Revenge Evil Mirror.
The information for the last Plane was also displayed.
This Plane was not currently being invaded, and Fang Che could go over to devour the Plane.
Afterward, Fang Che closed his eyes, condensed the maps of the two Planes in his Niwan Palace, and with the help of his eye ability, searched for a way to merge the Planes into the Real Domain.
The method of Fusion for the first Plane was quickly found.
When it came to the second Plane, the situation changed.
After observing the second Plane with his eye ability, what he saw first was not the method to merge it into the Real Domain, but the method to refine a Curse Tool!
This tool was named: Creation Coffin.
This was a tool Fang Che had researched using his eye ability before he had even Awakened as a Professional.
The ability of the Creation Coffin was that after Fang Che sustained fatal injuries, it would teleport him into the coffin and absorb the surrounding curse energy to help Fang Che heal his physical injuries.
According to Fang Che's previous conception, it would require Materials above Tier 5 to refine the Creation Coffin.
And now, after obtaining this Plane, his eye ability automatically improved the Creation Coffin, replacing the refining Materials with a Plane!
+++
Chapter 189: Snake Man Plane
After replacing the materials for refining the Creation Coffin with a Plane, its capabilities have also greatly improved.
Now, even if Fang Che dies, his body can be teleported over to help him revive!
Fang Che was very envious of such an ability.
With this resurrection ability, Fang Che would be able to act freely in the future, no longer needing to hide and sneak around.
After Fang Che carefully understood the method and materials for refining the Creation Coffin, he lay on the ground, patiently waiting for his body to recover.
Time flew by, and forty-five days passed in a blink of an eye, and Fang Che's weakened body finally returned to normal.
Fang Che took out two materials that could invade Planes, and then took out a pile of miscellaneous materials, and according to different proportions and sequences, he fused these materials together to refine two spheres.
Afterward, Fang Che atomized his body, spread it throughout the Real Domain, mobilized Plane energy, and injected it into the two spheres.
The two spheres absorbed the Plane energy and instantly transformed into two Plane coordinates.
Through the Plane coordinates, Fang Che could directly teleport to these two Planes.
Fang Che threw the Plane coordinates into the Real Domain to hide them, wrote down the auxiliary materials for refining the Creation Coffin, and then returned to the Emperor Plane.
Subsequently, Fang Che returned to the Iron Hand Group and found that the Iron Hand Group's security level had returned to its previous normal standard.
Fang Che returned home, collected the various materials from his mailbox, and then went to Li Xing's residence and knocked on the door.
A moment later, Li Xing opened the door, and Fang Che immediately bowed: "Greetings, Senior, this time I still need your help to collect some resources."
"Dispense with the formalities." Li Xing smiled slightly and extended his hand: "Give me the list of materials you need."
Fang Che immediately took out the list and handed it to Li Xing.
Li Xing checked the contents of the list and quickly opened his storage ring, taking out various materials.
Before long, Li Xing had produced all the materials Fang Che needed.
Fang Che asked curiously: "Is the group not short of materials now?"
Li Xing replied: "Before the leader left, he discussed with the academy side and received materials supported by the academy;
These materials you need are on the support list and can be given to you all at once;
However, the resources you needed before will have to wait a while longer."
Fang Che nodded and said: "Understood, Junior will wait patiently, if there's nothing else, Junior will take his leave first."
Li Xing smiled and said: "Go ahead."
Subsequently, Fang Che cupped his hands in a bow, collected the materials on the ground, turned, and left.
Leaving this place, Fang Che returned to the Real Domain, processed the materials for refining the Creation Coffin, and then headed to the Niu Jiao Ren Plane.
After using the Voodoo Doll to collect the materials and sculptures from the two mine tunnels, Fang Che then manipulated the Voodoo Doll to dig several underground caves in a deserted area, buried the materials that needed to be processed, and then went to Niu Xuanhai's residence to wait patiently.
Not long after, Niu Xuanhai finished his patrol and returned home.
The Voodoo Doll immediately threw out a pile of cultivation materials and wrote the location of the new underground cave on the ground.
Niu Xuanhai put away the materials, checked all the text, took out a list, placed it next to the Voodoo Doll, and said:
"This is a value list of materials from Other Planes, what do you want?"
After Fang Che manipulated the Voodoo Doll to check the list information, he threw down a pile of resources and wrote a message:
"I want all the materials from Other Planes, but don't rush to sell them. If others suspect your sales channels, that would be troublesome;
Additionally, you can keep the materials from Other Planes; I will come to collect them after some time."
Fang Che was currently in a hurry to refine the Creation Coffin and was not in a hurry to collect materials from Other Planes.
Fang Che now hoped that Niu Xuanhai could survive safely, because only if Niu Xuanhai was alive could Fang Che's long-term interests be guaranteed.
Niu Xuanhai checked these messages and said: "Don't worry, I will act more cautiously."
Upon hearing this, Fang Che manipulated the Voodoo Doll to burrow underground.
Subsequently, Fang Che returned directly to the Real Domain.
Immediately after, Fang Che activated the Plane used to refine the Creation Coffin and directly teleported there.
As soon as he arrived in the Plane, Fang Che felt a rich Curse Master energy.
As a Curse Master, Fang Che felt comfortable as soon as he sensed this energy.
Fang Che adjusted his state to avoid getting lost in the Curse Master energy, then threw out the Voodoo Doll to understand the situation of this Plane.
Before long, Fang Che discovered the Professionals of this Plane, which were various pythons, all of whom had awakened professions that could assist Curse Masters.
The leader of the pythons was a Snake-man with a snake tail on his lower body and a normal human upper body. This Snake-man possessed the Curse Master profession, and his strength had already broken through the second rank.
The Voodoo Doll continued forward, encountering more python tribes, and the leader of each tribe was a Curse Master.
After exploring the entire Plane, Fang Che discovered that the strongest person in this Plane was a 3rd Rank Snake-man Curse Master.
He was also the only Third-Order Professional in this Plane.
Fang Che judged that this Third-Order Professional should have been a Professional forcefully elevated by the Plane Will after the Plane encountered the Horned People invasion.
The reason was also very simple: if the Plane had normally developed to a state capable of accommodating Third-Order Professional strength, everyone who met the promotion standards could take advantage of the Plane's development to complete their promotion using the simplest materials; it was impossible for only one person to be promoted.
Additionally, there were many Snake-men in this Plane who met the Third-Order promotion standard, and the Plane was not lacking in materials for promotion.
The only reason they were not promoted at this time was that the Plane Will forcefully elevated the realm of a single Professional, leading to incomplete Plane promotion rules, which in turn prevented other Professionals from being promoted normally.
And this was good news for Fang Che.
When the Plane Will forcefully elevates the realm of a single Professional, it falls into a period of weakness for some time, unable to communicate with the Professionals in the Plane.
If Fang Che arranged some things at this time, even if the Plane Will could discover them, the Professionals would not.
Fang Che manipulated the Voodoo Doll to move around, and whenever it reached a suitable place, he would take out the materials for refining the Creation Coffin from the Real Domain and bury them there.
When all the materials were buried, Fang Che came to a certain material burial area, tore off the Substitute Puppet's talisman, and handed it to the Voodoo Doll, for the Voodoo Doll to distribute the Substitute Puppet.
Subsequently, Fang Che began to dig a hole and set up a Transformation Array.
After digging an underground cave and setting up the Transformation Array, Fang Che hid to the side.
Not long after, a Snake-man with a Curse Master profession brought his pythons to the cave entrance.
"All of you, go into the underground cave." At the Snake-man's command, the pythons jumped into the underground cave one after another.
Finally, the Snake-man also jumped into the underground cave.
As the Snake-man entered the underground cave, Fang Che, in the shadows, stopped the Transformation Array, reverted to his original appearance, then came to the cave entrance and activated the Transformation Array.
A flash of light passed, and all the arrays within the underground cave were activated.
Fang Che took out a language translation loudspeaker and emotionlessly announced to the Snake-man: "My name is Fang Che. Today, in conjunction with your leader, I will trap and kill all of you. You can curse me as much as you like."
+++
Chapter 190: Stop Other Snake People from Approaching
After Fang Che finished speaking, he put away the megaphone and revealed his face to the Snake-people.
At the same time, Fang Che used the power of the Substitute Talisman to control the Snake-people Chieftain to begin the slaughter.
The Snake-people Chieftain took out a flute-like chieftain tool and began to play it softly.
The surrounding Snake-people were affected by the Curse Tool and the array Fang Che had set up, instantly collapsing to the ground, unable to move.
"Crack~"
The Snake-people Chieftain swung his tail, easily crushing the heads of the collapsed Snake-people.
The living Snake-people around were terrified and tried to escape, but their bodies couldn't move.
"Chieftain, why are you collaborating with outsiders to harm us?"
"Chieftain, you…"
The Snake-people shouted loudly, but the Snake-people Chieftain remained indifferent, continuing the slaughter.
A moment later, the remaining Snake-people cursed loudly, venting their fear.
After all the Snake-people were dead, Fang Che immediately used the Substitute Talisman to weaken his control over the Snake-people Chieftain.
The previously expressionless Snake-people Chieftain's face instantly contorted, and he looked up, glaring at Fang Che with venomous eyes, cursing loudly: "You damned thing…"
Fang Che watched the Snake-people Chieftain expressionlessly, listening to his curses.
Once the cursing energy released by the Snake-people Chieftain reached the standard, Fang Che immediately poured in the molten aluminum.
When the molten aluminum reached the Snake-people Chieftain's neck, Fang Che used the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book to kill him, and the Substitute Talisman controlling the Snake-people Chieftain instantly returned to Fang Che's Niwan Palace.
A moment later, the molten aluminum covered the Snake-people Chieftain's head, filling the tunnel.
Fang Che mobilized his curse energy and wrote the four characters 'Creation Coffin' on the cooling aluminum.
The next second, the nearby area trembled slightly.
This was because the materials previously buried by the Death Sculpture and the Voodoo Doll were resonating!
This was also an important step in refining the Creation Coffin.
Afterward, Fang Che went to the next area where materials were buried, continuing to control the Snake-people Chieftain to kill, accumulate cursing energy, and resonate with the materials.
After some time, the Voodoo Doll integrated all the Substitute Talismans into the body of the Snake-people Curse Master.
Fang Che immediately controlled the Voodoo Doll to dig a tunnel.
Whenever Fang Che had thirty Substitute Talismans free, he would control the Voodoo Doll to come and collect them.
After more than half a month passed in this manner, Fang Che discovered that some Snake-people were moving in his direction.
Fang Che was not surprised by this situation.
This Plane also had communication tokens, so if the Snake-people couldn't be contacted, other Snake-people would definitely come to investigate the situation.
For this problem, Fang Che could only try his best to stall for time.
Fang Che controlled the Voodoo Doll to approach these Snake-people, throwing a tracking tool in their path and injecting energy into it.
The next second, traces of the Snake-people's movement instantly solidified on the ground, but they disappeared shortly after.
The Voodoo Doll picked up the tool, and Fang Che immediately released energy through the Voodoo Doll to connect to the tool.
Immediately after, Fang Che saw a new set of Snake-people movement traces.
Fang Che controlled the Voodoo Doll, and based on the Snake-people's movements, quickly arrived at the tribe where these Snake-people were located.
The Voodoo Doll dropped a Substitute Talisman next to the Snake-people Chieftain, and after the Snake-people Chieftain stepped on it, Fang Che instantly controlled him.
Fang Che controlled the Snake-people Chieftain to leave his home and go to where other Snake-people were gathered.
Then, Fang Che controlled the Snake-people Chieftain to say: "Order all Snake-people who are out to return; no more activities outside."
The Snake-people were confused, and one Snake-person asked: "Chieftain, what happened?"
Fang Che controlled the Snake-people Chieftain to reply: "I feel favored by the Plane Will and am about to advance to the third rank; I need my tribesmen to protect me."
Upon hearing this, many Snake-people showed excitement on their faces.
If their Chieftain advanced to the third rank, he would gain most of the Plane's benefits, which was crucial for the Plane's development.
The Snake-people quickly took out their communication tokens and contacted the Snake-people outside, telling them to return immediately.
At this moment, one Snake-person asked: "Some friendly tribes couldn't be contacted earlier, and Snake-people have been sent to investigate. Do they also need to return?"
Fang Che controlled the Snake-people Chieftain to nod: "Let them return as well. I have already contacted the friendly tribes, and there are no problems on their side."
That Snake-person nodded and also took out a communication token to relay the message.
After the Snake-people finished transmitting the information, Fang Che continued to control the Snake-people Chieftain to command:
"To prevent the news of my advancement from leaking, from now on, other tribes' Snake-people are forbidden from passing through our area, and you should not disturb me casually."
Many Snake-people nodded in agreement: "As you command."
Fang Che continued to control the Snake-people Chieftain to command: "When other friendly tribes send messages, you will answer for me; if other tribes cannot contact friendly tribes and ask us for help in checking on them, then you will find an excuse to explain the communication interruption, and try not to let them come over; if they insist on investigating, then stall for time. In short, the matter of my breakthrough cannot be told to any Snake-person, understand?"
Many Snake-people answered with firm expressions: "As you command!"
Fang Che controlled the Snake-people Chieftain to nod in satisfaction, then controlled him to turn and leave.
The Snake-people Chieftain showed no emotional changes on the surface, but inwardly he was anxiously shouting.
Unfortunately, no Snake-person could hear the Chieftain's inner voice.
Fang Che allocated a portion of his energy to keep this Snake-people Chieftain obediently in his room.
Afterward, Fang Che constantly monitored other areas through the Voodoo Doll; whenever Snake-people passed by, Fang Che would use the Substitute Talisman to control their tribe's Chieftain.
Most of the Substitute Talismans were used to control distant Snake-people Chieftains, reducing the number of talismans available for close range.
However, Fang Che could only sculpt one tribe's Death Sculpture with molten aluminum at a time, so he didn't feel overwhelmed.
It just required the Voodoo Doll to frequently place Substitute Talismans and frequently perform Observe of the surrounding situation.
After another month passed smoothly, Fang Che approached the Snake-people tribe that had first sent Snake-people to contact friendly tribes.
After digging the pit, Fang Che controlled the Snake-people Chieftain to leave his home and approach the gathered Snake-people.
Many Snake-people looked at their Chieftain with confusion.
One Snake-person curiously asked: "Chieftain, didn't you say you were favored by the Plane and about to advance to the third rank? How are you still only at second-rank strength?"
Fang Che controlled the Snake-people Chieftain to smile and reply: "I'm about to break through. Go gather all the tribesmen and follow me to the east for the advancement ceremony!"
Many Snake-people did not suspect anything and excitedly went to contact the other Snake-people.
Subsequently, all the Snake-people of the tribe arrived in front of the tunnel Fang Che had dug.
"Go down," the Snake-people Chieftain commanded, and many Snake-people quickly entered the tunnel.
Immediately after, Fang Che controlled the Snake-people Chieftain to enter underground, then emerged from the shadows and activated the array inside the tunnel.
