Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

Chapter 1184: Chapter 450: Ning Zhuo’s Protective God (2)

He realized that this was not the ordinary, commonly known fundamental Divine Summoning Technique, but rather the unique Divine Summoning Technique of the Zhu Family!

"Why did Zhu Fenxiang teach me the Divine Summoning Technique from her family?"

Even the Earth Guardian True Monarch was listening, the Divine Statue Avatar gazed playfully at Zhu Fenxiang: "The Zhu Family’s Divine Summoning Technique, just like that, passed on to an outsider?"

"It seems the relationship between Zhu Fenxiang and Ning Zhuo is quite deep, very good, very good."

He was reminded of the scene He observed earlier using the Divine Arts [Silent Observation of Dusty Fate], and immediately gained more understanding, "No wonder I saw many female cultivators fighting fiercely over Ning Zhuo, Zhu Fenxiang among them."

"Oh, and her mother as well."

The Earth Guardian True Monarch doesn’t casually gather followers.

Zhu Fenxiang is also of considerable importance to Him.

Thus, He has gathered a lot of in-depth knowledge about the Zhu Family.

After Zhu Fenxiang finished her invocation, the Divine Statue Avatar nodded repeatedly: "Very good, Zhu Fenxiang, you did very well."

Zhu Fenxiang quickly bowed, humbled, unwilling to take credit, merely listening to the commands of the God.

Ning Zhuo’s expression was somewhat complex: "I didn’t expect that my visit here would cause Fellow Daoist Zhu such a cost..."

Zhu Fenxiang turned slightly, looked at Ning Zhuo, smiling, showing no hint of disappointment: "Fellow Daoist Ning Zhuo, as the saying goes, teachings are not lightly given. Teaching you my family’s Divine Summoning Technique indeed used up my only authority."

"Later, when family members arrive, please cooperate and explain the specific reasons to them."

"My family’s Divine Summoning Technique is not limited to this level, and indeed contains more profound content. But next, if you wish to gain more, you’ll have to pay a price."

Upon hearing that, Ning Zhuo’s face lit up with joy, bowing in gratitude.

He fears no price, only the lack of a channel.

Ning Zhuo sincerely said: "Fellow Daoist Zhu’s great kindness is remembered by me, and there will be a return in the future."

Zhu Fenxiang smiled, nodding slightly and staying silent.

Although she hesitated just a moment ago, she already overcame her disappointment and thought through it clearly.

Ning Zhuo is truly worth befriending well!

He is a genius who passed the Three Questions of the Heart at the Evil Slaying Hall, a truly righteous character deserving of confidence.

Ning Zhuo refused Ban Jie’s reconciliation gifts, and still troubled Ban Ji, and recently won in the small trial in Xuan Armor Cave, eliminating Ban Ji, both showing his powerful background and his unyielding fighting spirit.

Such people, standing with Situ Xing, would be truly fearsome.

Now, Zhu Fenxiang has brought him over, jointly opposing Situ Xing, an excellent business venture!

"Moreover, while I can’t see it, the God seems to have uncovered Ning Zhuo’s depths. Without hesitation, He even requested to become Ning Zhuo’s Protective God!"

"With such behavior from the God, am I foolish?"

"I must act decisively, striving to befriend Ning Zhuo!"

"As for passing on the Zhu Family’s Divine Summoning Technique..."

"This treatment is usually reserved for a spouse, but indeed I have the right!"

"Of course, with the current unusual situation, I will report to the family afterward and explain the circumstances. Certainly, the family will understand! This is just a small matter."

After such a thought process, Zhu Fenxiang immediately took action.

Ning Zhuo pondered, quickly comprehending the Zhu Family’s Divine Summoning Technique.

His insight surpassed others, aided by various means for learning, he immediately gained.

As achievements continuously emerged, new problems also arose.

Moments later, Ning Zhuo asked Zhu Fenxiang three critical questions.

After listening, Zhu Fenxiang showed a strange expression, deeply gazing at Ning Zhuo, marveling that he grasped the core essence of the Divine Summoning Technique so swiftly.

However, she immediately recalled Ning Zhuo’s impressive performance while both practicing and learning in Xuan Armor Cave, where he won first place, and found his performance quite normal.

The Earth Guardian True Monarch separated by the Yin Yang Two Realms, transmitted divine power to maintain the avatar, originally impatient.

However, seeing Ning Zhuo’s performance, He restrained Himself.

Zhu Fenxiang thoroughly explained the answers to Ning Zhuo.

After listening, Ning Zhuo considered it again and asked another question.

Zhu Fenxiang’s heart shook slightly, shook her head: "Fellow Daoist Ning Zhuo, this question involves deeper layers of the Divine Summoning Technique, which I cannot answer."

Ning Zhuo quickly thanked her again.

"Alright, now it’s time to practice the Divine Summoning Technique." the Divine Statue Avatar urged.

Ning Zhuo then attempted the first time, but since it was his first time using the Divine Summoning Technique, he failed halfway through.

Zhu Fenxiang’s heart shook again. Ning Zhuo’s first progress far exceeded her expected upper limit.

Thus, Zhu Fenxiang held high hopes for Ning Zhuo’s future performance.

However, the Earth Guardian True Monarch’s avatar waved: "Alright, alright, no need to try anymore, it’s sufficient."

With that, He took the initiative to respond.

In the next moment, a mysterious connection was established between Ning Zhuo and Him.

Zhu Fenxiang: ...

Although she had already thought through her attitude and strategy toward Ning Zhuo, at this very moment, she couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of her eyes.

Is this right?!

She recalled her previous hardships, countless iterations of the Divine Summoning Technique, gradually pushed her relationship with the Gods, only achieving her wishes when utterly exhausted.

Now, she witnessed with her own eyes, the Earth Guardian True Monarch actively cooperating, not minding an incomplete Divine Summoning Technique, "impatiently" establishing the connection.

"This isn’t how the Divine Summoning Technique is supposed to be performed!" Zhu Fenxiang felt deeply pained.

With the success of the Divine Summoning, the Earth Guardian True Monarch’s Divine Statue Avatar laughed aloud, beckoning: "All of you, step back, I will fully engage to rescue this Mechanical Puppet."

The Divine Statue Avatar’s eye gleamed with divine light, firmly locking onto the Mengye Tiger.

He extended His small hand, grasping at the Mengye Tiger from afar!

Rustle, rustle, rustle...

The yellowish sand mist enveloping Mengye Tiger instantly boiled, drastically transformed into billions of Earth God Sand!

The Divine Sand continuously shot out, coalescing into a nearby mass.

The yellowish sand mist on Mengye Tiger kept emerging, seemingly endless.

The newly emerged sand mist was immediately transformed into Earth God Sand and separated away by the Earth Guardian True Monarch’s avatar.

Ning Zhuo understood: "The Earth Guardian True Monarch didn’t forcefully confront but transformed the sand mist into Divine Sand under His control, a rather elegant solution."

The yellowish sand mist on Mengye Tiger is just a stream without source, becoming increasingly sparse, eventually dissipating completely.

Mengye Tiger no longer had shackles, completely regaining freedom.

However, he still remained motionless, as if in a coma-like state.

The Earth Guardian True Monarch’s Divine Statue Avatar showed a hint of realization: "This Mechanical Puppet already possesses Spiritual Nature. No wonder Ning Zhuo tried every means to rescue him."

Beside him, Zhu Fenxiang’s pupils shook.

She hadn’t noticed this hidden aspect before, and once pointed out by the Earth Guardian True Monarch, she turned to Ning Zhuo, sincerely saying: "A Mechanical Artifact with Spiritual Nature is extremely rare! With future growth, it will definitely reach the Spirit Treasure Level! Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Ning Zhuo!"

Ning Zhuo smiled: "I ask Fellow Daoist Zhu to keep this confidential."

Zhu Fenxiang nodded: "Of course, of course."

As Ning Zhuo grew stronger, she was increasingly pleased.

After all, the relationship between them has now changed from before.

Ning Zhuo examined Mengye Tiger, then stored him in the Storage Waist Belt: "This Mechanical Puppet’s Spiritual Nature is faint and needs a long rest, fearing it won’t be useful in this Feiyun Conference."

Zhu Fenxiang nodded: "Concerning Spiritual Nature, such methods are rare. However, I know, there is an approach within the Myriad Images Sect that happens to suit such situations."

Ning Zhuo was overjoyed, eagerly asking.

Zhu Fenxiang, straightforward in nature, said directly: "Xuanhuang Mother Qi."

"Years ago, deep in the Cloud Sea of Myriad Phenomena, a mass of Profound Sky Yellow Cloud was born. The great powers of the Myriad Images Sect accidentally detected it, spending ten years successfully capturing it."

"Afterward, the great powers cut a portion of Profound Sky Yellow Cloud, refining it into strands of Xuanhuang Mother Qi."

"This item is extremely precious, currently held by Danxia Peak."

"Perhaps, Fellow Daoist Ning Zhuo can search for connections and obtain it by trade."
