Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

Chapter 1395: Chapter 554: Don’t Be Afraid, Little One!

Ning Zhuo had actually considered using the Divine Power Life Thread earlier. But the next moment, he suppressed this thought.

Revealing his trump card for the Nanming Fire Furnace wasn’t worth it.

Because the Life Hanging Divine Power is highly taboo.

Think about it from another perspective—if someone around you mastered this divine skill, wouldn’t you worry that one day they might take control of you?

Ning Zhuo also thought about the two major issues he needed to resolve to use this divine power.

The first issue is being able to lock onto a target.

The range for releasing the Life Hanging Thread is limited, but once planted, it can detach from Ning Zhuo and stretch over a long distance.

The second issue is avoiding exposure.

Right now, under the Void Eaves Courtyard, the external world and the formation’s inner space are interconnected. Ning Zhuo can also see the Vermilion Bird Artifact Spirit in the pink light pillar.

This allows him to lock onto the target.

Divine powers aren’t trivial things.

Previously at the White Paper Immortal City, Ning Zhuo was able to use the Spirit Communication Realm along with the Divine Power Life Thread to pull back Sun Lingtong, who had fallen into the array space, from afar.

This successful tactic proved that the Life Hanging Divine Power could cross the boundaries of formation, planting onto the target.

The first issue, resolved.

The second issue, Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin provided enormous help.

Last night, with her powers greatly increased, she used Monster Path methods to aid Ning Zhuo in concealing.

She told Ning Zhuo, "Monster Path carves out its own path, making it difficult for most cultivators to understand and practice. Thus, Monster Path methods often have miraculous effects."

Under the cover of Monster Path methods, even when the Life Hanging Thread is cast, it won’t be recognized.

For this, Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin personally performed a divination and reached this conclusion.

She even calculated a "safety period"—according to her exact words—it would be safe for three days; past this time, it would be exposed.

Ning Zhuo, of course, had complete trust in Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin.

If it hadn’t been for his mother’s sacrifice and constant care, Ning Zhuo wouldn’t have achieved such glory and accomplishments today.

"Mother’s divination skills are strong, she definitely wouldn’t harm me."

"Mother also spoke of tribulations and fortune."

"If I strive for the Nanming Fire Furnace, I can dispel part of the tribulations. It’s a win-win situation."

"At the same time, the tribulations also mean that fate has linked me with the Nanming Fire Furnace."

"Let’s do it!"

With that thought, Ning Zhuo boldly cast the Divine Power Life Thread.

On that day, being cautious by nature, he still used the pillar of Vast Energy as a cover on the surface.

Otherwise, not putting on an act wouldn’t be too good.

The power of divine skills is naturally extraordinary.

Generally, a cultivator’s lifebound techniques are developed during the Foundation Establishment Stage. By the Golden Core Stage, these lifebound techniques reach great success. By the Nascent Soul Stage, corresponding divine skills emerge.

Of course, this applies to most cultivators.

For Gods, it’s different.

Even a weak God might master certain divine skills.

For example, the Land God basically possesses the Earth Element Technique. Mountain Gods often have the Moving Mountain divine skill, particularly being able to move the mountain where their dojo resides.

In today’s Golden Age of Cultivation, cases of some exceptional talents mastering divine skills in advance also exist.

Ning Zhuo’s Divine Power Life Thread was obtained from the Three Sects Elders.

He also learned a divine skill named Stone Cast Earth Treasure by stealing it. This divine skill is a business-oriented skill, which Ning Zhuo has yet to fully develop.

Divine skills have their own limitations, and the Life Hanging Thread is no exception.

But when Ning Zhuo applied it to Yuan Dasheng, Mengye Tiger, and others, it worked every time. Now applied to the Vermilion Bird Artifact Spirit, it was the same, directly controlling the latter.

The Danxia Peak and Alchemy Hall side were still hoping for kindness, recognition, trust.

Ning Zhuo skipped these tedious steps and took immediate action!

"From now on, you are mine." The young man was filled with joy. He utilized the divine skill to utterly conquer the Vermilion Bird Artifact Spirit.

Everything happened so quickly, so forcefully, so dominantly that the Vermilion Bird Artifact Spirit, just when it started to react, couldn’t even let out a howl before Ning Zhuo’s powerful control silenced all anomalies as if strangling them.

Vermilion Bird Artifact Spirit: ???!!!

"What happened to me?"

"What on earth is going on?!"

"I can’t control myself anymore."

"Ah, someone save me?!"

From the Life Hanging Thread, continuous transmissions of the Vermilion Bird Artifact Spirit’s fear and shock were felt.

Too terrifying.

Too frightening!

As Ning Zhuo, the main culprit, felt an undercurrent of joy in his heart, "This Artifact Spirit is so spirited and full of emotions, indicating a high level of spiritual nature."

Ning Zhuo immediately used the Life Hanging Thread to communicate with the Vermilion Bird Artifact Spirit.

In this respect, Ning Zhuo had ample experience. After all, the examples of Yuan Dasheng and Mengye Tiger were right in front of him.

The Vermilion Bird Artifact Spirit, out of fear, almost trembled.

Ning Zhuo conveyed through the Life Hanging Thread: "Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, I’m your good friend."

To cover up the truth and prevent detection by the Danxia Peak side, Ning Zhuo comforted with a gentle tone while forcibly controlling the body of the Vermilion Bird Artifact Spirit.

What kind of "good friend" takes control of someone’s body right away?!

The Vermilion Bird Artifact Spirit screamed, desperately wanting to call for help.

Ning Zhuo sensed this impulse: "Don’t shout, don’t scream. Shh! Shh! Shh!"

"You are too tense, little Vermilion Bird Artifact Spirit."

"I am very gentle."

Vermilion Bird Artifact Spirit: Who would believe that?! I can’t even shout!

Even more scared, alright!
