Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

However, these extraordinary individuals were adept at self-promotion and packaged themselves as gods.

But that purple energy was indeed strange.

It can assist in constructing evil formations like the Yellow Springs Formation, allowing people to reshape their physical bodies and control their souls.

This ability is extremely rare even in the world of supernatural beings.

Cui Ming took out another sac, which contained a small amount of tissue samples from Ryūjū Kōji's body.

It seems I need to take some time to study this carefully and see what the connection is between this body and the purple energy.

After leaving the basement, Cui Ming returned to his study and took out the manual for the Triple Rebirth Technique.

For the past three months, he has set aside one hour each day to practice this technique.

Progress has been extremely slow.

Even now, he has only just touched the first threshold, and there is still a long way to go before he can truly master it.

But Cui Ming wasn't in a hurry.

He has practiced many different things and has a clear understanding of the difficulty of various techniques.

A technique like the Reverse Rebirth Triple Level is something that an ordinary extraordinary person would probably only be able to grasp at the basics after a lifetime of practice.

It's already considered fast that he was able to get to the basics in three months.

More importantly, he discovered that this technique was extremely compatible with him.

The Reverse Rebirth Triple Cultivation emphasizes the dual cultivation of body and mind, taking one's own body and mind as the foundation, drawing in the Qi of heaven and earth to temper the physical body.

When one cultivates to a high level, the physical body can be transformed into Qi and changed at will.

Within Cui Ming's body was the power of Dan Shi, mutated by radiation.

This force is domineering and corrosive, but it also gives him energy reserves and recovery abilities far beyond those of ordinary people.

When cultivating the Reverse Rebirth Triple Stage, he only needs to absorb the energy from the energy core and integrate it into himself.

For ordinary people with supernatural abilities to cultivate the Threefold Reversal of Life, they must first cultivate Qi within their bodies.

Then, through the practice, these Qi are gradually transformed into Qi that generates the Threefold Reversal.

Finally, this transformed Qi is used to slowly integrate into the body to improve physical condition and reverse the transformation of the physical body into Qi.

Only in this way can one ensure an inexhaustible supply of vital energy and an unbroken life force.

The higher the level of cultivation, the faster the transformation will be.

In the blink of an eye, the transformation is complete, and the second stage of the Reverse Rebirth Triple Stage is achieved.

But this first step, which stumps many extraordinary people, is a piece of cake for Cui Ming.

The radiation energy within his body is itself the most violent energy, easily suppressed by mere external energy.

Furthermore, with the energy core supplying him with power, he can absorb energy without restraint.

The Divine Machine Alliance has no shortage of energy right now.

Uranium mine energy plants, earth vein energy piles, energy cores, and various energy storage devices can all provide him with a continuous source of Qi.

He can take as much as he wants in one go, whenever he wants.

However, cultivation is not about absorbing as much or as quickly as possible.

The Reverse Rebirth Triple Stage emphasizes "refinement," which involves refining and integrating the absorbed energy into oneself, making it a part of oneself.

This process cannot be rushed.

Cui Ming sat down cross-legged and began his cultivation for the day.

He formed hand seals and, following the instructions in the manual, guided the power of the Dan Shi within his body to circulate along a specific route.

The Qi flowed slowly along the meridians, and a slight burning sensation was felt wherever it passed.

This is normal, indicating that the meridians are being gradually strengthened.

An hour later, Cui Ming opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

The progress has been made a little bit more.

At this rate, he should be able to truly step into the first level in another six months.

After mastering the first level, one can obtain the power of the dragon and elephant, greatly increasing physical strength and making one difficult to harm with ordinary swords and blades.

At the same time, one's control over one's own Qi will become more refined, enabling one to do many things that were previously impossible.

But what Cui Ming really wanted was the third layer.

Zuo Ruotong's battle left a deep impression on him.

The body transforms into a ball of Qi, changing shape at will, ignoring physical attacks, and can be manipulated at will to attack enemies.

And to levitate oneself in the air and gain the ability to fly is a truly divine skill.

If he can reach the third level, and further enhance his ability to transform Qi into form…

Then creating any kind of mechanical puppet would be a piece of cake.

Functions that require complex mechanisms to achieve can also be directly simulated using Qi.

Moreover, all the components are their own Qi, so wouldn't they be able to be used at will?

He himself is a walking arsenal.

If he has enough Qi, he could easily transform into a Gundam on the spot!

"almost."

Cui Ming felt a surge of excitement as he imagined this scene.

In the afternoon, Cui Ming began to study improvement plans for the Soul Nourishing Robe.

The existing Soul-Nourishing Garment is woven from silk threads mixed with earth vein stone powder.

Once the spirit wears the armor, it can absorb energy from the energy core through the array on the bunker walls to maintain the stability of its soul.

But there are many problems.

First, the energy replenishment rate is too slow.

Those departed souls wear soul-nourishing garments, which can barely sustain their energy consumption. If they move around frequently, their energy will be quickly depleted, requiring a long period of recharging.

Second, the Soul-Nourishing Robe is too fragile.

Although the silk threads are tough, they are still just clothing. Once torn in battle, the energy transmission will be interrupted, and the soul may dissipate instantly.

Third, the souls of the dead cannot leave the bunker for too long.

Once outside the bunker's array coverage area, they could only rely on the energy stored in their Soul Nourishing Robes to function, which would last for at most half an hour.

Cui Ming's goal is to allow these souls to move freely and even participate in battles.

His idea was to combine the principles of the Soul-Nourishing Robe with the Mysterious Armor.

The Xuanji Armor itself is a complete energy system, with an energy core, energy circuit, and output device.

If the function of the Soul-Nourishing Robe is integrated into the Mystic Armor, allowing the Mystic Armor to provide energy for the deceased souls while protecting their bodies from harm, then the problem will be solved.

Specifically, a small array needs to be inscribed inside the Xuanji Armor to establish an energy link with the wearer.

The energy core of the Xuanji Armor can provide stable energy, which is transmitted to the souls of the dead through the array to maintain their existence.

At the same time, the hard outer shell of the Xuanji Armor can protect the souls of the dead from physical attacks, and the formation can isolate external interference.

As long as the Xuanji Armor remains intact, the spirits of the dead can continue to exist and move.

But there is still one problem.

The Mysterious Armor is for people to wear, not for souls to wear.

The dead have no physical form and cannot wear ordinary mystical armor.

They can only attach themselves to it, or let the Xuanji Armor become their vessel.

Cui Ming thought of Ryūjū Kōji's body, which was a perfect vessel in itself.

If that body is combined with the Xuanji Armor, and the soul of the dead is allowed to reside in it, it would be equivalent to giving the soul a temporary physical body.

There was only one body, but there were more than a dozen dead souls.

Cui Ming shook his head and put the idea aside for the time being.

Another approach is to make the Xuanji Armor itself a vessel for the souls of the dead.

Leave space inside the mecha and inscribe an array to house souls, allowing the dead to reside within.

In this way, the spirits of the dead can control the Xuanji Armor, just like controlling a puppet.

This approach is feasible, but several technical challenges need to be addressed.

Synchronizing the soul with the mecha, ensuring stable energy transfer, and handling emergency situations after mecha damage...

Cui Ming sketched in his notebook, and it took him two hours to finish.

By nightfall, he already had a preliminary plan.

"The trials will begin tomorrow."

He closed his notebook and rubbed his sore eyes.

Late at night, Cui Ming went to another basement.

There lies a man here—Liang Ting.

This Quanxing master has been in a coma ever since that battle.

Cui Ming used the power of Dan Shi to seal his consciousness, preventing him from waking up.

I've been busy with other things lately and haven't had time to deal with him yet.

Cui Ming stood by the bed, looking at Liang Ting's strong but pale body.

This is also a big problem.

Liang Ting is a top expert in the Quanxing Sect, and his strength is no less than that of Wugensheng.

If we could control him, he would be a formidable force.
