Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

"These souls are probably about to scatter."

......

Down the mountain, at the Shenji Alliance's position.

Zhang Xuan noticed something unusual about the ghosts ahead.

The initial advance was slow, and the counterattack from the undead was also relatively normal.

But at this moment, those souls were like puppets with broken strings; some stood still and trembled, while others attacked wildly and even accidentally injured their own kind.

"They've gone out of control."

Li Muxuan said in a deep voice.

"It must be Hall Master Cui who made the move."

Zhang Xuan made a quick judgment.

"Attention all troops, do not advance rashly. Heavy puppets maintain the light network suppression, and the Xuanji Armor squads advance steadily."

"The spirits of the dead have changed, making this the perfect opportunity for a complete eradication."

The Divine Machine Alliance's formation steadily advanced.

The souls of the Quanxing sect, deprived of the continuous replenishment from the Yellow Springs Grand Array, were quickly crushed into fragments by the earth's vein energy after their connection with the array was severed.

Zhao Pingshan looked towards the mountainside through the visor of the Xuanji Armor and muttered to himself.

"Master...you're not up to something big again, are you?"

Chapter 239 A Life Worth a Wedding Dress

on the platform.

Cui Ming's twenty-four short swords hovered at the edge of the vortex, continuously being washed by the energy emanating from the nameless flying sword.

The sword was originally a dark blue color, which was the color that appeared after the power of the pill was attached to it.

At this moment, the deep blue was tinged with streaks of crimson.

That was the power of the Dan Shi purifying those impure soul energies, transforming them into nourishment for the sword body.

Cui Ming did not allow Wuming to directly inject the absorbed energy into the short sword.

Instead, he was instructed to first absorb the energy into the flying sword.

After the initial refinement of the supernatural power, it was then transported over via Wuming's own flying sword.

This method is slower, but safer.

He doesn't lack that little bit of time.

The one who was truly anxious and frustrated was the one hidden deep within the great formation.

Cui Ming once again used the power of Dan Shi to sneak back into the array node.

Hide and seek is over; it's time for the ghost-catching game.

Cui Ming manipulated the power of Dan Shi, stimulating the node space hidden by the leader of the Yin-Yang Masters.

As expected, Cui Ming's Devouring Power had not yet gotten close.

The Onmyoji leader, who was hiding in the spatial node, frantically tried to escape.

It tried to approach the corpse, but was blocked by the power of Dan Shi that Cui Ming had arranged in advance on the key path.

It immediately turned to flee, but every path leading to the newborn body was met with a dark blue Dan Devouring Power.

"You can't escape."

Until it panicked and ran into a series of predicaments.

Cui Mingcai transmitted a thought through the telepathic link.

"I have already cracked your formation and have mastered most of it."

"The rest are just minor details used to lull you into a false sense of security."

The Onmyoji leader's soul suddenly froze.

A moment later, a sharp thought came through.

"What exactly do you want?! The strange soul of this mountain?"

"I...I can share half with you!"

"No! Seventy percent! Seventy percent is yours! Give me a chance to live!"

Cui Ming did not answer.

They simply continued to quietly reinforce the blockade.

"Eighty percent!"

Koji's soul roars.

"Ninety percent! You take ninety percent!"

"I can use an array to refine those twenty-odd short swords to their ultimate level for you!"

"I'm giving you all the array formation insights I've treasured in Japan for three hundred years!"

Cui Ming remained silent.

As Koji begged for mercy, the power of Dan Shi silently approached its final resting place.

"You...you're trying to kill us all?!"

Despair permeated Koji's thoughts.

"I, Ryūjū Kōji, have lived for a full 137 years! I have experienced the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa eras, and witnessed the most chaotic period in your Eastern lands!"

"I know many secrets! The schemes of the island nation's supernatural world, the Onmyoji families behind the military, and... and the deeper uses of the Yellow Springs Formation!"

"This grand formation isn't just for creating formation spirits! It's for prolonging life! Don't you want to live forever?!"

Cui Ming's fingers paused slightly.

"Immortality?"

He finally spoke.

Koji grasped at this straw as if it were his lifeline.

"That's right! Immortality!"

"Do you think the Yellow Springs Array is as simple as just plundering souls to create array spirits?"

"That's a superficial usage! The true Yellow Springs Grand Array uses the sacrifice of ten thousand souls to help an individual embark on the path to immortality!"

When this was mentioned, Koji's thoughts became urgent and fervent.

"Don't you Eastern peoples pursue the dual cultivation of body and mind, and ascend to immortality?"

What we Onmyoji pursue is divine possession—to become a vessel for the descent of the gods!

The core secret of the Yellow Springs Array is to create a physical body capable of bearing the descent of a god!

I've been researching for seventy years, and I'm only one step away from completion! Please spare my life! I'll give you all my research findings!

Cui Ming remained silent for a long time.

You mean...

His tone was flat.

"You've spent seventy years researching, only to create inferior physical bodies that allow you to be reborn time and time again, yet you've never succeeded?"

Koji's thoughts faltered.

"Your theory simply won't work."

Cui Ming continued.

"Or rather, you simply don't understand what cultivation, immortality cultivation, or the dual cultivation of body and mind are."

You are simply killing and reshaping your body, which is essentially no different from the body-refining techniques practiced by supernatural beings.

You claim to have studied for seventy years, but in reality, you've just been doing the same thing over and over again for seventy years without making any progress.

Koji's soul trembled violently.

"What do you know..."

His voice lowered, carrying a hint of hysteria after the truth was exposed.

"You don't understand anything at all! You don't understand anything!"

"The fear of watching your own body decay and age day by day, and being powerless to stop it..."

"You have no idea what price you have to pay to survive..."

Cui Ming did not respond further.

He confirmed it.

This Onmyoji leader, Koji, never truly understood the essence of cultivation.

He merely figured out a clever way to possess another's body over the long years in order to survive.

He hadn't even unlocked one-tenth of the true potential of this great formation.

Now, what Cui Ming needs is to extract everything about the Yellow Springs Array from the mind of this Onmyoji leader.

There are probably many more valuable things in Koji's mind.

It was only because his imagination was so scarce that he took a risky approach and went astray without realizing it.

"nameless."

Cui Ming spoke during the mind-to-mind connection.

"Speed ​​up. The point where he's hiding is three feet below the vortex, two inches to the left."

As soon as Cui Ming gave the order, the twelve flying swords simultaneously changed direction, their tips pointing directly at the location Cui Ming had indicated.
