Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

Chapter 1178: Chapter 447: Sudden Crisis (Part 3)

Ning Zhuo first dissipated the ice surrounding Yuan Dasheng.

This surface layer of ice originated from the innate attribute of Snow-colored Girl·Hui, providing ongoing healing support to Yuan Dasheng’s spirit.

The ice block within Yuan Dasheng, however, was a problem Ning Zhuo couldn’t resolve previously, filled with the power and principles of the Yin attribute.

This time, just by using his five senses, Ning Zhuo perceived many previously undetectable details.

By employing some Mechanical Techniques, the results he observed were several times greater and much more profound than before.

As he had anticipated, the mana of a Yin attribute clung like a parasite to Yuan Dasheng’s internal mechanisms and even caused severe erosion to his spiritual nature.

The internal mechanisms of Yuan Dasheng had already been terribly corroded.

"His mechanical body has suffered severe damage; it would be best to abandon it. But there’s a major problem with his spiritual nature."

"The mana of a Yin attribute binds the spirit and the mechanical body together, intertwining them."

"If I directly strip away the mechanical body, the mana of a Yin attribute would shrink back into his spiritual nature, causing even more severe damage to Yuan Dasheng’s spirit."

Ning Zhuo fell into deep thought.

To solve Yuan Dasheng’s predicament, there were mainly two approaches.

One was to directly counter the mana of the Yin attribute; the other was to increase the strength of the mechanical body, using skillful power to allow more erosion of the body for some degree of transfer.

"But regardless of the approach, the first step is to find a way to strengthen the mechanical body, assisting Yuan Dasheng’s spirit to bear more pressure."

Ning Zhuo gazed into the distance with a contemplative look: "The Yin Yang Two Principles are even more fundamental and extensive than the Five Elements. I should find a related Xingyun Trial to see if there’s a possibility of breaking the impasse."

Ning Zhuo then looked at the Mengye Tiger.

With the ice block dissolved, dust rose from Mengye Tiger’s body, swirling around him, emanating a strong vibe of divine power.

Instantly, Ning Zhuo’s expression became several degrees more serious.

"Trouble."

"Previously, the ice block was healing Mengye Tiger, but unexpectedly it made the divine power seal on him even stronger. What’s the reason for this?"

Ning Zhuo quickly conducted an examination.

The improvement in military skills allowed him to sense the strict discipline within the dust, filled with the undeniable majesty of the gods. If the method was incorrect and the divine majesty was offended, there would surely be a more violent backlash.

Deploying Mechanical Techniques, Ning Zhuo immediately achieved a breakthrough that he hadn’t seen before!

His expression changed dramatically as he observed that Mengye Tiger’s spiritual orb had lost its luster, becoming heavy and sluggish, even showing some degree of sandification.

"Great misfortune!"

"Mengye Tiger’s spiritual situation is even more dangerous and dire than Yuan Dasheng’s."

"In just a few more days, he would be fully sandified, his spirit completely annihilated."

With an improved foundation in Artifact Refining, Ning Zhuo grasped Mengye Tiger’s mechanical body more clearly.

Instead, the mechanical body suffered little damage, even showing some improvement. This can be compared to the stones in Shuyu Court that transformed into beautiful jade.

Ning Zhuo’s heart sank to the bottom. Compared to Yuan Dasheng, Mengye Tiger’s condition was truly precarious.

At this moment, he fully realized the cost of defeating the Lord of Wangchuan.

"How may I comprehend this divine power?"

"I can’t even resolve a portion of it."

"Any tentative intervention would almost certainly accelerate the sandification of the spirit, or even result in catastrophic damage."

What to do?!

This problem urgently needs resolution and cannot be delayed.

Ning Zhuo cannot rely solely on himself.

"I need to find a cultivator proficient in this area."

"Qingwu Langjun?"

When Ning Zhuo thought of this deity, Zhu Fenxiang’s image appeared before his eyes.

"Qingwu Langjun aspires to travel further on the path of Martial God; can he resolve the Earth Element Divine Power?"

"Furthermore, he is not a cultivator, born as an Artifact Spirit; can he truly apply his knowledge across fields?"

In comparison, Zhu Fenxiang seemed more probable.

"Even if Zhu Fenxiang can’t do it, the Zhu Family is a renowned power in the Flying Cloud Country, skilled in summoning gods."

"However, reaching out to her would undoubtedly strain my relationship with Situ Xing further."
