Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

These apprentices witnessed firsthand how Cui Ming went from initially needing to inquire in detail about the basic principles to later being able to quickly understand the complex array principles proposed by Zhuge Yunhui.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he can draw inferences from one instance to another and propose optimization solutions that even Zhuge Yunhui would need to ponder for a moment.

In just a few days, Cui Ming made rapid progress in the art of formations, reaching a level of proficiency.

Such rapid progress was beyond Zhuge Yunhui's wildest imagination; had he not witnessed it with his own eyes, he would never have dreamed that such an extraordinary person existed in the world.

Many apprentices, when talking privately, couldn't help but feel the same sentiment.

"The difference between people can sometimes be greater than the difference between a person and a dog..."

"I didn't even blink, so how come the gap between me and Elder Cui suddenly seems like an insurmountable chasm?"

"You'll never imagine how outrageous the difference can be between an ordinary person and a genius unless you see it for yourself..."

With the joint efforts of Cui Ming and the Wuhou Sect, a complex formation was created, centered on illusion and trap formations, and containing multiple trigger traps.

Once triggered, the entire magic circle will act like a giant hand, enveloping the entire venue and its surrounding area.

The formation is usually dormant and will not affect the normal progress of the conference.

Once activated by Cui Ming in a specific way, it can instantly form a cage, trapping the enemy invisibly, while simultaneously guiding the defensive forces set up inside the venue to carry out precise strikes.

The entire formation is powered by a single energy core provided by Cui Ming, thus putting the entire venue under his control.

Meanwhile, the construction of the entire Divine Opportunity Field is progressing rapidly and vigorously after the formation was thoroughly planned to obscure the vision of ordinary people.

In just one month, a tall and magnificent venue rose from the wasteland on the edge of town, a construction speed that far exceeded ordinary people's imagination.

The appearance of this God's Fate venue resembles a giant stone palace that has existed here since ancient times.

This feeling of being one with nature is thanks to the Qimen formations used by the Wuhou School.

With their help, the energy of the entire venue was perfectly integrated into the surrounding mountains and rivers, creating a natural visual and perceptual illusion.

Unless one is an extraordinary person who understands the principles of Qimen Dunjia and Bagua, even if they approach it, they are very likely to ignore it or subconsciously avoid the place.

However, only Zhuge Yunhui himself knew that completely concealing such a massive building within the natural energy field was an extremely difficult task.

However, the process of guiding and arranging the energy flow was unexpectedly simple and smooth.

After careful observation, Zhuge Yunhui concluded that the key to this success lay in the entire construction process led by Cui Ming.

From the foundation to all the structures above, and even the subsequent array arrangements, the placement of mechanical puppets, and so on, everything is interconnected.

Everything was arranged perfectly by Cui Ming, and everyone, under his guidance, brought their skills to the fullest.

This made Zhuge Yunhui very uncomfortable. He even had the illusion that everyone was like a puppet in Cui Ming's hands.

All you need to do is step forward and complete your assigned part when you are needed.

Simple, efficient, rigorous...

This is Zhuge Yunhui's heartfelt feeling.

But then... Zhuge Yunhui felt relieved. Wasn't this a good thing? It was twice as effective with half the effort, and he also had more time to spend with his wife, Tian Xiaodie.

Shaking his head, Zhuge Yunhui cleared his mind and immersed himself in the work of building his own formation.

Cui Ming raised an eyebrow, and the blue light in his hand dissipated...

'Zhuge Yunhui is truly remarkable; I almost let him break free of my control...'

But it didn't matter anyway, Cui Ming twisted his neck to relax his whole body.

The earth vein stones provided by the Earth Wanderer Clan are truly a universal key to the construction industry.

Once ground into powder, the earth vein stone can not only be used to stabilize foundations and shape walls, but also serve as a natural medium for guiding and storing the earth's energy.

As for the other types of formations, various rune nodes were pre-set in them during the construction and shaping process of the Earth Wanderer Immortal.

In addition, the bionic camouflage puppets created by Cui Ming were placed in various parts of the venue, perfectly blending with the walls, ceiling, steps, and so on.

Furthermore, it is camouflaged by attaching itself to the surface of the building, further integrating the entire venue into the surrounding environment.

The final result is this enormous venue, which is 80 meters long, 60 meters wide, and 20 meters high.

From a distance, it blends seamlessly with its surroundings, as if this venue, built in just one month, was sculpted directly from a single natural boulder.

The people in charge of the Tiangong Hall who participated in the construction of the venue were their top-notch twin weapon refiners.

They are the older brother, Zhao Pingshan, who wears glasses and has a relatively calm personality.

He has a younger brother named Zhao Tianhai, who is quite unconventional and fearless.

Although these two are twins, their personalities are very different, and it is easy to tell at a glance which one is the older brother and which one is the younger brother.

Originally, both of them had some objections to merging into the Divine Machine Alliance.

Ever since he participated in the meeting with the Tang Clan, Old Master Meng Ye has been praising Cui Ming to the skies in front of the Tiangongtang disciples every day.

They are the kind of children that everyone admires, so how could the two brothers, who are already outstanding among their peers, possibly stand it?

The key thing is that this guy is going to pull off some kind of "divine ingenuity and ingenuity assessment conference" soon.

The two brothers were thinking, "Shouldn't we teach these frogs in a well a good lesson?"

But in the blink of an eye, they discovered that Cui Ming had selflessly contributed his various designs and skills for everyone in the alliance to review and appreciate.

The two brothers also watched it...

The older brother, Zhao Pingshan, sighed, patted his younger brother, Zhao Tianhai, on the shoulder, and said, "We still need to practice."

But his younger brother, Zhao Tianhai, was not convinced. He kept muttering to himself, "What's so great about him? He'll contribute a thousand or a dozen of his own and make a name for himself!"

Zhao Pingshan thought the same thing, but one said it aloud while the other kept it in his heart.

However, all of this changed completely after the joint construction of the Shenji Airport.

When they first met, the two brothers were a little surprised to see Cui Ming.

But then came a warm welcome, and the two brothers were entrusted with important responsibilities. All matters, big and small, of Tiangongtang were handed over to the two brothers to manage.

If they have any questions, they can directly contact Cui Ming for assistance.

But in the days that followed, the two brothers discovered that this Master Cui was truly no ordinary person.

All sorts of ingenious ideas kept popping up.

Who would have thought a house could be built like this? It directly utilizes the earth's energy to assimilate building materials, creating a seamless whole. As long as you follow Master Cui's blueprints, it would be difficult for you to build a split-type building.

The two brothers privately estimated that if they were simply building an empty shell of the same size, given Cui Ming's disregard for cost and the fact that he mobilized a large number of mechanical arms and puppets to work day and night, it would be extremely difficult.

It might take less than seven days to complete, but most of the time in this month has been spent on the various interior decorations and the construction of the defense system for the venue.

So the two brothers were puzzled. It was just a conference venue. Why was it being treated like a military fortress?

But when the two brothers came to Cui Ming with questions, they found that their Master Cui was able to control several large mechanical arms working together while also correcting various blueprints.

He could even distract himself by controlling the Shadow Spider puppet to ask the two if they had any questions.

The two brothers exchanged a glance, shook their heads, and silently walked back to their workstations.

Perhaps what this genius thinks is different from what ordinary people like them think.

The two brothers were completely convinced by Cui Ming's relentless work ethic.

Chapter 118 Ten Thousand Taels of Gold (3k)

The core defensive force of the entire God Opportunity Arena is not ordinary guards, but the ubiquitous bionic soldier bees and shadow spiders created by Cui Ming.

They are distributed in the mezzanine of the building structure and in the hidden compartments of the dome.

Even inside many of the decorations, soldier bee nests and secret passageways are hidden.

As Cui Ming's power of devouring pills broke through to a new stage, he was able to break free from the primitive method of relying on hidden threads to control puppets.

He is now able to use the power of Dan Shi, which he has pre-injected into the puppet, as a bridge to achieve a certain degree of mental control.

However, this new control method is not yet fully mature.

Further testing is needed because Cui Ming discovered that this method of remote mind control has a slight delay.

For Cui Ming, who requires extremely precise control, this is still not as reliable as direct control via concealed wiring.

However, since he already possessed the ability to control things infinitely, just in case, Cui Ming still filled the venue with energy transmission lines to allow the power of Dan Shi to run.

In this way, Cui Ming can control the puppet even without using the hidden wires.

With Cui Ming's meticulous modifications and setup, the entire venue resembled a conference venue for the Divine Machine Alliance.

In reality, it is a massive complex composed of countless mechanical puppets.

Zhuge Yunhui even jokingly told Tian Xiaodie that he suspected the venue was actually a giant mechanical puppet covered in a layer of stone.

He wouldn't be too surprised if he saw it suddenly stand up and walk around one day.

Moreover, in Cui Ming's design, the outer layer of stone on the venue was enhanced by the earth's energy, making it far harder than ordinary granite.

Even a full-force attack from an ordinary superhuman would likely fail to leave a mark on it.

Even for a master of the Vajra lineage who focuses on cultivating external martial arts, breaking through the outer shell of the venue would probably take some effort.

Therefore, these were the Earth Wandering Immortals, Tang Sect Craftsmen, Wuhou Sect sorcerers, and Heavenly Craftsmen who participated in building the Divine Opportunity Field.

During this month, I witnessed firsthand the birth of this legendary building.

From leveling the foundation and guiding the earth's energy, to using mechanical arms to assist in constructing the framework and inscribing runes, and then to installing internal mechanisms and debugging the defense system.

Every inch of this venue embodies the hard work and wisdom of everyone involved.

This is more than just a building; it is a symbol of the strength and ideals of the Divine Machine Alliance.

However, during the month that Cui Ming led the members of the Divine Machine Alliance to devote themselves to the construction of the Divine Machine venue.

In Sichuan Province and its surrounding areas, undercurrents were surging and never ceased.

Especially the Quanxing gang, this group of eccentric individuals who have always been lawless and acted strangely, have been unusually active recently.

Thanks to Cui Ming's earlier arrangements, most of the Quanxing disciples in Sichuan Province were under surveillance or control.

As long as they don't deliberately cause trouble, Cui Ming usually just monitors their movements and doesn't actually kill them.

However, as news spread that Cui Ming, the head of the Tang Clan's Craftsmanship Hall, had spearheaded the formation of the Divine Mechanism Alliance, and as the "Divine Mechanism Hundred Craftsmanship Assessment Conference" grew increasingly grand, the situation changed.

Many Quanxing disciples from other places or who had been hiding deep within the sect began to gather around Sichuan Province, as if they had smelled some kind of opportunity and fun.
