Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

< Chapter 80: Pushing Open the Buddha's Gate >

Ning Zhuo immediately reviewed each instance when the Buddha Heart Demon Seal was activated, summarizing their commonalities.

He quickly discovered that every time the seal was activated, it occurred when he was anxious and unsettled, his mind in turmoil.

When he was officially taking action, using the heart seal to command the mechanical monkeys into a frenzy.

When Zhu Xuanji saved Yuan Dasheng.

When Ning Zhuo broke into the backyard bedroom and saw the unconscious Yuan Dasheng, almost wanting to take action immediately.

When he succeeded in subduing Yuan Er, but Yuan Er refused to hand over Yuan Dasheng, making Ning Zhuo so anxious that he wanted to act.

"Is this the clash of fate, making my mind unstable? Emotions nearly losing control, if mistakes are made, it would definitely give Yuan Dasheng a new chance to survive."

"On one hand, I rely on rationality, forcing myself to remain calm. On the other hand, the Buddha Heart Demon Seal has been secretly supporting me, saving me at least four times."

"Guiding others into demonhood, guiding oneself into Buddhism!"

Upon discovering this truth, Ning Zhuo broke out in a cold sweat once again.

It turned out that this matter had hidden many dangers that Ning Zhuo had not detected at all. If he hadn't learned about the theory of fate from Han Ming, he might not have understood it for a long time.

"From this, it seems that the Buddha Heart Demon Seal should be a treasure that can guard fate. Triggering the Buddha statue to guide oneself can avoid the emotional disturbances caused by the clash of fate, strictly preventing personal mistakes."

Ning Zhuo secretly rejoiced. Through this matter, he discovered yet another function of the Buddha Heart Demon Seal.

"However, this way, my innate talent becomes uncertain."

Behind the door, the room was filled with coffins. Not only were there coffins on the floor, but even the walls had coffins standing upright, and the ceiling had several coffins suspended by iron chains.

This scene was beyond Ning Zhuo's expectations.

"At least it's not the obstacles and puppets of the Dao or Demon gates."

At this moment, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit wore a serious and solemn expression, its gaze piercing through the air, staring intently at Ning Zhuo.

Despite its reluctance to provide hints, it had no choice but to transmit key information to Ning Zhuo's mind through the Life Hanging by a Thread technique.

"Use the Mirror Platform Spirit Technique to sense the spiritual essence inside the coffins through their lids. Once successful, the coffin lid can be opened."

"Choose one to send for fire cremation, obtaining a spiritually imbued mechanical creation."

"You can also transmit an external corpse to the fire furnace, gaining a corresponding mechanism."

"Note: This mechanism requires careful maintenance and can be transported in and out of the Lava Immortal Palace!"

Upon receiving the information, Ning Zhuo immediately began to try.

His Mirror Platform Spirit Technique had indeed reached the third layer, and communicating with some of the coffins on the ground was not difficult.

Soon, he managed to open several coffins, discovering inside them a Fire Serpent, Fire Fluff Mice, and a Flame-shadow Flower.

Everything possessed spiritual essence.

Ning Zhuo then attempted to contact the coffins embedded in the four walls. The communication was difficult, but he could vaguely sense that they still contained beasts and spiritual plants from Mount Huoshi. However, their power and foundation were of a higher level than those on the ground.

"It seems that the bodies in the hanging coffins must be the most advanced," Ning Zhuo thought, tilting his head. He used the Suspension Ring to hoist himself up.

He placed his hands on the surface of the hanging coffin, fully activating the Mirror Platform Spirit Technique. This time, the response was faint, very vague, and weak.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit monitored Ning Zhuo's every move closely, its claws clenched, looking extremely tense.

After his investigation, Ning Zhuo surveyed the surroundings, finally fixing his gaze on an upright coffin embedded in the wall. "Given my current spirit refining level, the Fire Serpent in this coffin is the best target."

As he thought about this, Ning Zhuo tilted his head, extended the line, and lowered himself to the ground, walking to the target coffin.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit grunted, eager to see Ning Zhuo sense this coffin.

But Ning Zhuo stopped and fell into contemplation.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit grew more anxious, letting out a low growl and spitting out a flame, as if urging Ning Zhuo to proceed.

While Ning Zhuo stood still, lost in thought, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit sensed something amiss and began scratching the ground with its hind claws, visibly agitated.

What intrigued Ning Zhuo was a part of the information he received: "You can also transmit an external corpse to the fire furnace, gaining a corresponding mechanism."

The more Ning Zhuo pondered, the more curious he became. "If I capture a Golden Core stage beast alive and send it to the Lava Immortal Palace, would I obtain a mechanism far exceeding the standard?"

Of course, he didn't have a Golden Core stage beast at hand.

Ning Zhuo naturally thought of Yuan Dasheng!

Yuan Dasheng's soul was attached to the Righteous Bone Gold Frame, making it difficult to deal with. Ning Zhuo had planned to extract the bones for creating mechanisms.

But now, a ready-made opportunity was right in front of him.

He didn't need to handle Yuan Dasheng's corpse himself; he only needed to bring it inside and hand it over to the Lava Immortal Palace for processing. In return, he would receive a corresponding mechanism.

This thought excited Ning Zhuo more and more.

On one hand, it saved him a lot of trouble and eliminated a significant amount of risk. After all, the sooner Yuan Dasheng's corpse was dealt with, the better.

On the other hand, Ning Zhuo had always believed that his own proficiency in mechanism techniques was not particularly high. He trusted the skills of the three sects' elders much more.

"Bring Yuan Dasheng's corpse inside!" Ning Zhuo made his decision.

But how?

Ning Zhuo pondered this question.

Logically, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit should have provided an answer at this moment.

However, at this very moment, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was tightly covering its own mouth. No matter how much the fire whip lashed it, it stubbornly held back and did not respond!

Ning Zhuo then exited the Immortal Palace and returned to the outside world.

He approached Yuan Dasheng's corpse, thought for a moment, and poured the essence blood he had previously extracted back into the ape corpse.

He took out two storage bags filled with supplies and placed them on and inside the ape's body.

Then, he lay down beside the corpse, one hand touching the ape corpse, while sensing the trial disciple's mark.

In the next moment, he was back in the room behind the Buddha, with Yuan Dasheng's corpse beside him.

He succeeded!
