Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

Chapter 1357: Chapter 535: Qi Fortune Self-Rescue (2)

Qin De struggled desperately, only to find that he had no strength at all.

Previously, he was thoroughly sealed and imprisoned by Ning Zhuo.

"No——!" A massive wave of fear surged in his heart. He didn’t want to die. He had barely escaped Cloud Prison, barely achieved Nascent Soul, and barely saw hope.

His own power was as if nothing; he could only resort to begging.

He implored resolutely, "Stop! Stop! Don’t burn me, don’t burn me anymore."

His voice emerged from the flames, hoarse and weak, like a dying candle in the wind.

"What a mess. It’s like it’s constantly changing hands." Ning Zhuo frowned, confused, yet he did not stop.

The flames continued to burn.

"You can’t burn me! You can’t burn me! I am... I am from Myriad Images Sect! I am a Golden Core Cultivator! I am... I am also a Confucian Cultivator! You can’t burn me!"

Ning Zhuo raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "A Confucian Cultivator? Huh, he finally remembered?"

He was about to stop slightly, but the Mechanical Ring contracted again, warning him not to be complacent!

Thus, Ning Zhuo instantly became alert and remained unmoved.

The Buddha Scripture flames seemed to burn even stronger.

The trees in Yi Lin rustled in the wind.

Shao Qian Nong closed his eyes to divine, reaching the critical point.

He knew the progress in his heart: "Just a little bit more."

The Ban Family, Clan Ancestral Hall.

"Just a little bit more." Three Supreme Family Elders had been closely monitoring the changes in Ning Zhuo’s Qi Fortune.

"If Ning Zhuo dies, what about our clan’s King’s Command Human Tribulation?"

"How would I know? The appearance of a King’s Command in our clan is also a first in history. And the King’s Command is so special!"

"I only know that this tribulation is terrifyingly frightening; we just need to watch quietly."

"Perhaps Ban Ji doesn’t need to take action; his human tribulation will dissolve on its own? Or perhaps a new human tribulation will be born?"

"Looking at it from another angle, is this the true essence of the King’s Command? Even if not taking action, disasters will resolve themselves?"

At this time, within the strange phenomenon of the Clan Fate Mechanism Chain, the lid of the pale coffin had almost closed completely, with just a little more to completely bury Ning Zhuo’s Qi Fortune arm!

Suddenly, a flicker of Buddha Light surged from Ning Zhuo’s Qi Fortune arm.

The three Supreme Family Elders immediately sensed this change, each with varied expressions.

"It seems he has realized it now, and is employing some Buddhist technique."

"This young man mainly practices not Buddhist Skills; it seems it should be a treasure he has."

"No wonder it’s the King’s Command Human Tribulation, such treasures abound, even influencing perilous deaths!"

The Supreme Family Elders scrutinized closely, finding the Buddha Light striving to penetrate the coffin but not effectively.

Clearly, the speed at which Buddha Light penetrates couldn’t keep up with the coffin lid’s closure.

Bluestone Cave Mansion.

In the Cultivation Room, Qin De’s primary consciousness rapid in speech for survival: "I have many secrets, much intelligence, all of which I can tell you, allowing you to rise above others."

"I am a Confucian Cultivator, I know countless Confucian Cultivation classics. You can take them outside and sell them for money!"

"I am also a Demon Cultivator, and I know the Demon Sect’s Techniques. Top-grade cultivation method, yes, I have an ultimate level cultivation method, whoever gets them will surely become the Leader of Ten Thousand Immortals."

Ning Zhuo turned a deaf ear!

He sensed that the Buddha Heart Demon Seal within his Divine Sea had been triggered, emitting a splendid Buddha Light.

This is a Township Fortune Treasure, and each activation is extremely significant.

Ning Zhuo dared not be careless, focusing entirely on refining the strange Nascent Soul before him.

Outside the Myriad Images Sect.

"Not good, not good, not good!" Xiao Juxia pinched his fingers to divine, shaking his head repeatedly, a rare panic in his expression.

This time, he braved risks, infiltrating the Wanxiang Sect’s Main Mountain Gate, precisely because he calculated the opportunity to reap results due to the fate found here.

The destined person is exactly Qin De.

But at this moment, Xiao Juxia calculated that the "bountiful fruit" Qin De bore might end up with nothing gained in the end!

"Ten Thousand Methods of Falling Demon Technique is an ultimate-grade cultivation method; every improvement requires a huge consumption of Qi Fortune. This time, at Myriad Images Sect’s Feiyun Conference, is the convergence of fortune, reaching the point of destined results."

"Such opportunities are rare, reaching the final result is even harder!"

"The critical point is only a foot in the door away. Even if it means abandoning this body, one must push through successfully."

Thinking this, Xiao Juxia became decisive, immediately taking out a Rope Dragon Burning Luck Lamp.

The lamp stood three inches, made of red copper; the lamp base presented in lotus petals, twelve petals layered, each engraved finely with flame patterns. The lamp pillar straight and tall, its surface twined with a yellow rope.

The rope woven extremely masterfully, like a lively dragon, vivid and lifelike.

Xiao Juxia gripped the lamp body, his Divine Sense activated.

In the next moment, lamp oil surfaced within the Rope Dragon Burning Luck Lamp, rising rapidly.

As a consequence, Xiao Juxia’s essence blood, mana, even life span, reduced drastically.

By the time lamp oil rose to one inch high, Xiao Juxia had become emaciated, full head of white hair, deeply lined face.

He immediately stopped, gently blowing a mouthful.

The rope dragon used as a wick had long soaked in lamp oil, now igniting spontaneously, a spark flickering at the dragon’s head.

Pa.

A crisp sound, the flame suddenly burst, then shot to an inch high.

The accumulated lamp oil within the lamp body fell visibly fast.

Xiao Juxia’s expression changed slightly: "Fiery fire roasting oil, Qi Fortune self-saving! This is entirely spontaneous action; Qin De’s situation is most likely quite dire."

"Sigh, hopefully my action hasn’t gone unrewarded..."

Simultaneously.

Ban Family Ancestral Hall.

The Supreme Family Elders were surprised to find Ning Zhuo’s Qi Fortune manifestation changed again.

Yellow demonic Qi surged from the Qi Fortune arm, a Demon Star beginning to manifest amid the demonic Qi.

Under the demonic Qi’s influence, the Buddha Light radiating from the Qi Fortune arm quickly dimmed, no longer able to support. Consequently, the speed of the cloud-like white coffin’s sealing sped up significantly.

Bluestone Cave Mansion.

"Hmm?!" Ning Zhuo became suspicious.

He found the Buddha Heart Demon Seal in his Divine Sea trembling, previously emitting Buddha Light, now had Demon Charm emerging as well.

The Demon Charm grew increasingly intense, evidently interfering with the Buddha Light, Buddha versus Demon, causing the power of the Buddha Heart Demon Seal to plummet rapidly.

Ning Zhuo was witnessing for the first time the Buddha Heart Demon Seal exhibiting simultaneously both Buddha Path and Demon Path powers.

Sudden unease surged in the big-headed teenager’s heart: "Strange! This magic treasure accommodates both Buddha and Demon paths, it ought to be unified, why then does internal conflict arise now?"

Meanwhile, in the crematory fire was the demon infant Qin De, still begging—"Spare me. I’ll give you all my cultivation techniques, secret collections. Besides ultimate-grade methods, I also created the "Saint..."

At that moment, a star suddenly shone from Ning Zhuo’s Qi Fortune arm.

Ban Family Supreme Family Elders detected abrupt tension, one of them exclaimed, "Ning Zhuo’s Demon Dao Fortune Star, has completely lit up!"

If Ning Zhuo heard the continuation, recognized "Saint Thief Scripture," he might immediately deduce Qin De’s identity, potentially deciding to pause, taking risks for Sun Lingtong.

Because he knew, after cremation, only Spiritual Nature remains, and all traces of "Saint Thief Scripture" will be burnt to ashes!

"Young master, young master!"

Ning Zhuo’s Divine Skills was suddenly alerted, causing him to lose focus for a moment at this crucial juncture.

All because Qing Chi was transmitting a plea through Life Hanging Thread—"Master, we almost can’t hold on anymore, can you help me?"

This immediately drew Ning Zhuo’s attention!

Ning Zhuo felt quite guilty towards Qing Chi and genuinely wished to take good care of her.

Previously, Qing Chi accepted Ning Zhuo’s dispatch, thus agreeing to Sun Lingtong’s invitation, joining a certain Xingyun Trial together.

This trial involved both parties creating and battling talismans on stage.

At this moment, Qing Chi and Sun Lingtong encountered a tough opponent.

"What do you need me to do?" Ning Zhuo knew even if distracted, it wouldn’t slow the cremation of the Nascent Soul, thus decisively transmitting thoughts through Divine Sense.
