First Plant Puppet

His original Heavenly Destruction Physique cultivates his main strength, while the puppet technique cultivates his second one.

He can already leapfrog the levels with his original physique, but now if he cultivates back to the fairy state with his other cultivation base then he feels he could crush anyone in the realm above him.

Two cultivation techniques aren't as simple as one plus one, it means double the spiritual reserves expand countless times, the speed of energy absorption increases countless times, but sadly Dante realised that he couldn't use ordinary energy absorbed to fill his puppet cultivation base.

However Dante also realised that the energy absorbed from his sole puppet was much more pure than the energy he originally absorbed. This is already incredible in itself. Keep in mind his physique is already unique in the world and can absorb the purest energy of heaven and earth.

This also explained why he gained so little from the puppet despite the low level of his second cultivation base. The technique only took the purest energy from the puppets.

As Dante finished his secondary cultivation, he had a happy smile on his face. He was already at the peak of the Body refining Realm, and almost able to step into the bone refining realm.

This is equivalent to his peers already not to mention his main cultivation base is already in the fairy state.

Of course this also provided him with the perfect excuse in the future to hide his strength.

With the combination of the Chaos Eyes and the secondary Cultivation base, he can quickly put a façade that his strength hasn't advanced leaps and bounds compared to his peers. Or it would inevitably cause suspicion.

While the Armstrong Family aren't afraid even if everyone on the continent teamed up, it would inevitably draw from their background weakening them in the future. The losses aren't worth the quick pride that Dante might feel with the exposure of his true physique.

Nonetheless it was smart to cover up his true strength, it could also assist Dante in finding puppets in the future. But with his identity it wouldn't be difficult anyway.

As Dante finally awoke from his day dreaming, he realised his time in the forbidden forest was almost up, he only had a little less than a day in the forest before he had to leave.

Using the remaining time, Dante planned on trying to find some more puppets within the forest. Before entering his father had already provided him with a map of all the beasts below the rank of saint, specifically depicting their location.

The original intention was so that Dante could avoid those above the Fairy State, however now those at the Fairy State had become Dantes targets.

Sure there might be beasts and plants with more potential at the lower levels in the forest, but the safest and quickest bet was to target those in the fairy State. After all, it requires some type of talent to become a fairy.

Less than half an hour after travelling towards his first target on the map, Dante finally reached the prospect for his next puppet.

Rather than being a beast, his next target was a wall of vines planted against a jagged cliff.

This vine is known as the PurpleThorn Vines, the one in front of Dante right now was a set of plants at the 9th stage of the Fairy State only one step away from being promoted.

This was also the reason why it was Dantes first target, from birth the PurpleThorn Vines are equal to a Rank 4 Physique, with the ability to evolve after absorbing the blood of those it captures.

The Vine in front of Dante for example had absorbed a bit of dragon blood, successfully promoting it to the physique equal to Rank 3.

This is a Physique that can't be ignored in any clan. It has the potential to atleast reach the ancient state with a small chance of being promoted to a Saint, which is enough to be the backbone support of even a Antique Clan.

Dante didn't bother to cover his tracks as he walked in the sky towards the center of the vines. He has had extensive education since a young age, naturally this includes the studying of various plants and beasts.

The PurpleThorn Vines major weakness is in its very core, it's the main 'heart' of the vines. If you can get a hold of that you can easily control the life and death of the vines.

With each step Dante took, flicking vines flew towards his body, sharp needles almost piercing his skin. However right before they pierced the skin they were stopped in their tracks by a thin spiritual shield in front of Dantes body.

Despite the Vines powerful Physique providing it with the ability to leapfrog some small realms, it was nothing compared to Dante despite him only being a Stage 1 fairy state cultivator.

He could easily defeat the peak of the Spirit state, let alone a measly Fairy State.

Dante easily strolled towards the heart of the vines and grasped it firmly in his hand. His spiritual energy easily pierced through and began transforming it into his puppet.

Naturally there was very little resistance on behalf of the vine and after a quick couple of minutes it coiled up Dantes arms lovingly.

''Ok behave, I need a belt'' Dante Motioned towards the slightly loosening robe and the Vine understood immediately, it coiled lightly around Dante forming a beautiful contrast with his clear white robe.

''Good''

Before Dante could appreciate the look however, he immediately felt the energy transferring to his body.

First Stage of Bone Refining

Second Stage …

Third Stage ,,,

And finally stopped steadily at the Fifth stage of Bone Refining.

It was at this point that Dante realised the shear amount of energy that is needed for each advancement with his second cultivation Base.

But the improvements were even more noticeable, he had already experienced the Bone Refining once, in which it tempers and recreates each of your bones into the best formation possible.

But this time Dante could truly realise that he was far from Perfect, his body was molding faster than he could realise. Each bone crumbling and rebuilding stronger and firmer.
