Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 52 The Unfortunate Taoist Baisun, Corpse Projection
Speaking of Taoist Baisun, perhaps few people have heard of him.

But when it comes to the martial arts he created, it must be quite famous.

That is... the Mysterious Nether Divine Palm!
This martial art is extremely cold and vicious. Once you are hit by it, the cold energy will be like a maggot attached to the bones, penetrating deep into the meridians and becoming almost impossible to remove.

Lu Zhangke and He Biweng, who had practiced the Mysterious Dark Palm, used this move to attack Zhang Wuji, leaving Zhang Sanfeng helpless and forced to lose face and ask for help from Shaolin Temple.

But unfortunately, Shaolin Temple did not give face.

In the end, it was Zhang Wuji himself who had a fortuitous encounter and mastered the Nine Yang Divine Art, which was able to dispel the true energy of the Mysterious Nether Divine Palm.

In this world, Taoist Baisun once helped the Yuan Dynasty and was a great threat to the Ming Dynasty.

His cultivation had reached the level of Grand Master, which was extremely terrifying.

At that time, Zhang Sanfeng was only a Sanhua Grandmaster, and had not even reached the peak of his powers. However, after a fierce battle, he defeated Baisun Taoist.

This caused Taoist Baisun to escape, and he later met three masters from the Ming Kingdom. They took advantage of his injuries to capture Taoist Baisun and imprisoned him on the ninth floor of the Heavenly Prison.

And that was forty or fifty years ago.

After being imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for several years, news of Taoist Baisun's death spread.

Unexpectedly, this Taoist Baisun is not dead!
Instead, he used his powerful art of feigning death to deceive countless people.

I'm afraid he wants to use this to escape from the ninth level of the Sky Prison.

But he probably didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty was very unruly. Even if you died, they would not touch your body.

It's like that Ba Siba, who has turned into a pile of bones and is still on the ninth floor of the Heavenly Prison.

However, Taoist Baisun is also very powerful. I don’t know what method he used, but he was able to maintain a trace of life in his suspended state, and it has not dissipated until now.

If Zhou Ming had not sent it into his personal space, he probably would not have noticed it.

But to be honest, it was just his bad luck.

The fake death plan failed and he continued to be trapped on the ninth floor of the Heavenly Prison.

A few years later, Gu Santong was imprisoned.

Gu Santong is a ruthless person.

As mentioned before, if one practices the power-absorbing technique to a high level, it can absorb all of a person's physical essence and soul memories, leaving nothing behind.

Zhu Wusi would send a master in every two years to test Gu Santong's martial arts, but now there is not a single corpse to be found in the ninth floor of the prison.

The whereabouts of these masters are self-evident.

Being a cellmate with such a ruthless person, do you think Baisun Taoist, who was already seriously injured and had been starving for more than ten years, would be moved?
Of course I didn’t dare to move at all!
He kept faking his death to deceive Gu Santong.

In a blink of an eye, it’s been twenty years!
"However, since you've been faking your death for so many years, just continue to die!"

Zhou Ming thought.

Then he collected all the chains on the ninth floor of the Heavenly Prison.

These chains can be used to lock up Ba Siba, Baisun Taoist, and Gu Santong, so you can imagine how strong they are.

They are all treasures.

By the way, use these iron chains to tie up Taoist Baisun tightly.

I think when Taoist Baisun was alive, he was just wearing a few chains.

Now, Zhou Ming gave him ten times the reward!
The treatment is even better than before!
"Pity……"

The ninth floor of the Heavenly Prison has been sealed off. Otherwise, you could go to the eighth and seventh floors of the Heavenly Prison and maybe find some treasures there.

It's getting dark.

The emperor had already returned to the palace, and the defenses in various places had returned to their previous state.

Fortunately, the Tianlao is located next to the Dongchang.

The East Factory was located at Donghua Gate. Once one passed through this gate, they were out of the Imperial City. Zhou Ming easily left the Imperial City and returned home.

a few days later.

In front of Qianjin Pavilion.

A figure moved back and forth, practicing martial arts, whether it was fists, palms, kicks or fingers, each move was extremely profound.

Suddenly, he stopped, and golden light burst out from his whole body, turning into a layer of golden armor covering his body. He suddenly slashed out with a palm towards the lake in front.

The palm emitted golden light and turned into a palm print half a meter in size, rushing into the lake.

Countless water waves suddenly exploded.

The next moment, the golden light faded, revealing an old face, but still with a somewhat elegant appearance.

If Zhu Wusi was here, he would probably be able to recognize at a glance that this person was his mortal enemy... Gu Santong!
A figure floated down.

Zhou Ming held a pen and paper and wrote, "The experiment was successful! Although the corpse does not possess true Qi after being projected, it can cultivate true Qi under my control. As long as the projection is not canceled, the true Qi will not dissipate..."

However, it was ultimately controlled by him, so the martial arts he could display were only those he knew.

Furthermore, while placing a corpse in a portable space could preserve it, it could not be restored. Therefore, the power that the projection could exert was also quite limited.

Perfect Qi can only be used on living things.

A corpse is naturally considered a dead object...

"Next, it's the experiment of controlling distance..."

Gu Santong moved, rushed forward, and disappeared into the distance on the lake water.

"Previous projections would dissipate as soon as they left my immediate vicinity. But this time, I placed an object with a mark on it, which allowed me to maintain its existence. This corpse projection isn't completely inanimate; its movements can be controlled...

In this way, perpetual motion is achieved. Theoretically, as long as the marked item on the projection is not lost, it can be controlled at an infinite distance!"

"Next, conduct experiments on innate abilities..."

Zhou Ming closed his eyes, but he was actually controlling Gu Santong who had already walked away.

After a moment, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"Whether it's the portable space, the perfect energy, or the mark, none of them can be released through projection. However, the projection skill can be released through the mark. In other words, I can completely use the mark on Gu Santong to release other projections..."

Thinking of this, Zhou Ming suddenly had a lot of cool ideas in his mind.

"Even Gu Santong's body is like this, then if it is Taoist Baisun..." Zhou Ming thought again.

No matter how powerful this projection is, Gu Santong is dead after all. Even if Zhou Ming thinks of more ways, it is impossible to show its full strength.

But Taoist Baisun is still alive!

Since he is still alive, the old injuries accumulated in his body and the slim chance of survival now can all be recovered in the future.

If it is restored to its peak state, then even if the projection can only perform at 20% of the original state.

But with Zhou Ming's control, he will definitely be able to demonstrate grandmaster-level combat power.

However, given Taoist Baisun's current condition, it would be extremely difficult for him to recover.

"That's all, take your time."

Zhou Ming thought to himself, and then controlled Gu Santong to come back.

"Let's accumulate more Qi. There will be a big battle tonight!"

Because of what happened in the past few days, Zhou Ming left marks on many people in the palace.

After a few days of spreading, people who didn't have the mark before now have the mark on their bodies.

Therefore, Zhou Ming found that person.

The eunuch of the imperial palace, Cao Feng... or rather, the leader of the black stone, the Wheel-Turning King!
