Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

"Just now, a junior brother tried to help the wounded, but his hand went right through the wound."

"It seems that we can only make contact with each other when we activate our cultivation techniques and enter a state of reverse regeneration."

Cui Ming nodded.

This is the normal state of the dead; they have no physical form and cannot interfere with the material world.

However, the Reverse Life Triple Technique seems to be able to make up for this.

It seems that this triple rebirth technique truly has...boundless potential.

"You should rest here and not wander around."

Cui Ming gave instructions.

"Let me discuss and come up with a plan before we make any further plans."

The disciples' spirits all responded in agreement.

Cui Ming and Zuo Ruotong walked out of the side hall, with Wuming following behind them.

The three arrived at the square in front of the main hall. By then, the sky was beginning to lighten, and the east was turning a pale white.

The day's fierce battle finally came to an end, and a mountain breeze brought a touch of coolness.

It also dispelled much of the anxiety brought about by the great war.

"Master Zuo."

Cui Ming carefully considered his words before speaking.

"I will find a way to deal with these disciples. But there are a few things I need to explain in advance."

Upon hearing Cui Ming speak, Zuo Ruotong's face turned serious.

"Please speak, Master Cui."

"First, the mountain must be closed immediately!"

"The impact of the war here is too shocking."

"And solving the problem of the soul's body will take a lot of time."

"This is not something that can be resolved in a day or two; it may take months or even longer."

"During this period, they must remain hidden and not be exposed to the world."

"Otherwise, Master Zuo should know what the Sanyi Sect will face."

Zuo Ruotong nodded.

“Of course. It just so happens that you built a bunker for my Sanyi Sect before, which can provide them with temporary shelter.”

"Secondly, I need to study their soul state, which may require some... probing."

"This won't hurt them, but it might involve some private matters. I need their cooperation."

"That's no problem either. They are all sensible children and will cooperate with Master Cui."

Zuo Ruotong expressed her understanding, as this was necessary to resolve the situation.

"third..."

Cui Ming paused and looked at Zuo Ruotong.

"After this incident, no matter what the outcome, Master Zuo should be mentally prepared."

"They are, after all, the dead, and different from the living. Some things can never be undone."

Zuo Ruotong remained silent for a long time before slowly nodding.

"I understand. As long as they can continue to exist, and I can occasionally see them and know that they are still here, I will be content."

Cui Ming nodded.

"There's one more thing. May I take a look at your Triple Rebirth Technique from the Three Ones Sect...?"

Upon hearing this, Zuo Ruotong looked at Cui Ming.

Cui Ming immediately began to explain.

"This is not because I covet the secret techniques of your Sanyi Sect."

However, since the current situation is a result of the combination of this Yellow Springs Formation and your Three Ones Sect's Reverse Life Triple Technique…

"So, to resolve this matter, I'm afraid we'll have to..."

"can."

Before Cui Ming could finish explaining, Zuo Ruotong readily agreed.

Zuo Ruotong's swift action left Cui Ming speechless.

“If it weren’t for you, Hall Master Cui, our Sanyi Sect would never have been able to survive this calamity safely.”

"It's just a technique that can't reach the heavens; it can't be called a secret method."

Zuo Ruotong made a self-deprecating remark.

"With Master Cui's talent, he might even be able to pave a new path for our Sanyi Sect."

As she spoke, Zuo Ruotong handed over a secret manual.

Cui Ming silently accepted the famous "Reverse Rebirth Triple" novel from the world of supernatural beings, and for a moment he was somewhat dazed.

They quickly realized that Zuo Ruotong had probably prepared this a long time ago.

Cui Ming understood that Zuo Ruotong had staked everything on him.

In the distance, the sun finally rose above the horizon, its golden rays bathing the mountaintops and dispelling the gloom of the night.

At the Shenji Alliance camp at the foot of the mountain, numerous puppets were busy cleaning up the battlefield.

Everything is returning to order.

Cui Ming took a deep breath and turned to look at Wuming.

In the telepathic connection, he asked.

"Does Ryūjō Koji have any specific methods regarding the creation of a soul vessel in his memories?"

Wuming closed his eyes slightly and responded after a moment.

"There is only one way, like Ryūjū Kōji, to rely on the Yellow Springs Array to create a body that is most suitable for oneself. However... this move seems to have very serious consequences."

Cui Ming seemed to be deep in thought.

The body that Ryūju Kōji had created was still inside his Devouring Sac, and theoretically it could serve as a vessel.

But it was made by Koji using countless souls. Would there be any problems if the souls of the San-i Sect disciples lived in it?

Moreover, a body can only hold one soul, and with more than a dozen disciples here, it is clearly not enough.

or...

Could it be made into something similar to the spirit of a magical artifact used in cultivation?

The Divine Machine Alliance excels at crafting artifacts, and with their skills, they might be able to forge artifacts suitable for souls to reside in.

Or perhaps...

Cui Ming looked at the information about the Yellow Springs Array that Wuming had transmitted through his thoughts and fell into thought.

"Never mind, let's go back first and talk about it later."

Cui Ming thought to himself.

"This matter is not urgent and requires careful consideration."

He looked at Zuo Ruotong.

"Master Zuo, I will go down the mountain to make some arrangements first, and then come back to discuss this with you later."

"Leave the affairs of those disciples to me with peace of mind."

Zuo Ruotong clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Hall Master Cui."

Cui Ming nodded and led Wuming toward the mountain path.

After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and looked back towards the side hall.

The spirits of the disciples were peering through the window in this direction. When they saw him turn around, they all bowed respectfully.

Cui Ming nodded slightly, then turned and left.

The morning light was just right on the mountain path.

Cui Ming touched the food pouch in his arms, pondering his next plan.

A body with high potential, a dozen or so souls that need to be housed, and the complete structure of the Underworld Array...

The gains from this battle were far greater than expected.

However, careful planning is needed to translate these gains into tangible benefits.

Wuming followed silently behind him, then suddenly asked a question in the telepathic link.

"Are you really going to help them?"

Cui Ming continued walking and answered after a moment.

"Of course. These people were willing to die for their sect, and even in death they maintained their integrity. They shouldn't just disappear like that. Besides..."

He paused, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Whether it's a blessing or a curse remains to be seen.

Cui Ming already had an idea, and once everything was arranged, he could devote himself wholeheartedly to research and development!

Cui Ming's deep-seated passion for scientific research is constantly growing.

Without saying a word, the two hurried along the mountain path where the fierce battle had taken place the previous night.

Traces of battle can be seen everywhere along the way: shattered stone slabs, charred trees, and dried bloodstains.

Several corpses of Japanese ronin and ninja lay on the roadside, and the disciples of the Sanyi Sect were cleaning them up. When they saw Cui Ming and his companion, they all bowed and paid their respects.
