Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

Therefore, this set of techniques was always hidden deep in the memory of the man with the mustache. He dared not practice it at all, for fear of ending up dead and perishing.

But after Cui Ming learned about this technique, his eyes lit up.

Hey!

I love this kind of powerful energy! The stronger the side effects, the better it suits him.

In addition, there are accompanying teleportation and soul-binding techniques such as the Soul-Shocking Strike.

This directly increases Cui Ming's attack and survivability even further.

"This is what a complete inheritance should be... It's a pity that normal people can't inherit it."

Cui Ming is now very much looking forward to what surprises the Reversal System will bring him after he cultivates this Chaotic Mind Technique.

Suppressing his excitement, Cui Ming memorized the mantra of the Mind Disruption Technique.

Looking again at the vacant-eyed man with the mustache and the half-finished bald man who was sometimes quiet and sometimes restless, he already had a plan in mind.

The matter here is settled; it is not advisable to linger.

However, Cui Ming would absolutely not dare to bring these two living puppets back to the sect.

Although the Tang Clan's main business is assassination, they are not some kind of evil or heretical sect.

If the sect leader were to find out that he was making living puppets, even if he were from the Quanxing sect, he would still get slapped a couple of times.

If we keep this a secret, as long as we don't get caught red-handed, nothing will happen.

Therefore, Cui Ming decided to hide the two living puppets in the mine.

So birds cleared the way, traveling day and night, choosing only the least traveled paths.

That's why these two precious samples were placed in the mine.

He was then entrusted to Yong En and Xuan Su for guarding, and they were told to keep a close watch on him and to kill him immediately if anything went wrong.

After settling in, Cui Ming set off again, speeding towards the Tang Clan.

On his way home, he spared some of his attention to begin practicing the "Disruptive Mind Technique" he had just acquired.

It must be said that this method is indeed very strange.

The initial steps require guiding one's own soul, employing a self-punishing method of splitting the soul.

If an ordinary person were to cultivate this practice, they would be extremely prone to mental confusion, and might even experience auditory and visual hallucinations.

However, when Cui Ming guided the soul according to the method...

[Host detected practicing a special mental cultivation method...]

The negative effects have been reversed...

[The host's spiritual energy has increased, mental agility has improved, and mental strength has been greatly enhanced...]

The system never disappoints.

Cui Ming felt a cool sensation in his mind. The obscure, distorted state that used to cause mental instability when he was practicing the Chaotic Mind Technique was now completely smooth.

The cultivation technique, which should have been excruciating and mind-wrenching, was continuously nourishing his soul.

With each complete cycle of energy circulation, Cui Ming's soul would become stronger.

During his cultivation, he clearly felt that his mental strength was steadily improving and his perception range had nearly doubled. Within a radius of tens of meters, every rustling sound and movement appeared in his mind.

More importantly, his self-control reached a new level.

Chapter 33 Returning to the Tang Clan

"His talent for multitasking seems to have become even stronger..."

With a slight thought, Cui Ming simultaneously manipulated the six mechanical arms behind him to perform completely different actions.

The six mechanical arms moved independently, as if each had its own thoughts. All their movements were smooth and natural, without any sense of sluggishness or delay.

Even his brain can now think about three different things at the same time, without interfering with each other, and can even provide convenience for each other.

This means that the number of puppets that Cui Ming can control simultaneously will see a qualitative leap in the future.

Moreover, he now finds that his control over each puppet is now more precise and nuanced, as if it were his own arm.

What used to be a complex tactic that might have required all our strength to maintain, can now be accomplished with just a thought.

"This mind-disrupting technique is practically tailor-made for me!"

Cui Ming was overjoyed.

Moreover, he vaguely sensed that the resistance of his own soul had also been greatly enhanced.

If he were to encounter a similar attack like the Soul-Shocking Thrust again, even without the system's reversal, he was confident that he could withstand it without being affected.

The power of his terrifying stab is probably far greater than that of the original version by the man with the mustache.

a few days later.

Weary from his journey, Cui Ming finally returned to the Tang Clan's mountain gate.

He deliberately neglected to tidy his appearance, letting his clothes get dusty, and with just the right amount of fatigue and a hint of urgency on his face, he went straight to the council hall to request an audience with the sect leader, Tang Bingwen.

In the council hall, Tang Bingwen dismissed his attendants and looked at Cui Ming, who clearly showed signs of exhaustion, and asked in a deep voice.

"How was the trip?"

Cui Ming seemed to have finally caught his breath and began to recount his carefully crafted explanation.

"Reporting to the sect leader, the mine that I was ordered to investigate has indeed been occupied by the Japanese ninja."

He spoke a little quickly, making it seem like the matter was urgent.

"Using the affinity attached to the pill, I controlled a large number of animals in the nearby mountains and forests. They served as my eyes and ears, and I first investigated the sentry posts and patrol patterns around the mine."

Next, by gathering information from the surrounding area, they discovered the hazards of the ore, and to verify this, they had no choice but to enter the mine to explore...

"So...you took care of them all?"

Seeing that Cui Ming still seemed to want to continue, Tang Bingwen realized that this candidate weapon refiner had most likely solved the problem at the mine.

Cui Ming was taken aback, then softly agreed.

"These ninjas were quite strong and coordinated well, clearly well-trained. Although it took some effort, I managed to annihilate them all."

Tang Bingwen pinched his brow in distress and sighed.

"Go on."

"Just as the disciple was preparing to go deeper into the mine, another group of ninjas arrived to provide backup. One of them was a leader who was quite strong."

Choi Myung-blindly skipped over the fierce battle and control process with Young-eun, directly attributing the credit to his own strategy and puppet mechanisms.

"The disciple used the complex illusionary environment of the mine to set up illusionary traps, maneuvered against him, and finally won by a narrow margin. He also managed to extract important information from him through various means."

Cui Ming looked at Tang Bingwen with a serious expression.

"According to the leader's dying confession, the Japanese are mobilizing manpower on a large scale, and the vast majority of the Japanese supernatural community are gathering to prepare to attack our country."

Finally, he took out the sealed lead box, opened it a crack, and revealed the uranium ore that glowed with a faint light.

"Sect Master, this is ore from the mine. According to my tests, it contains extremely strong malevolent energy. If an ordinary person comes into contact with it for a long time, their flesh and blood will wither and their internal organs will fail, leading to death without any cure."

"But the energy it contains is unimaginable. If we can control it, it may become a powerful weapon for our Tang Clan."

He closed the lead box.

"This disciple suggests that our Tang Clan take this opportunity to bring this mine under our control."

The ninja clan that originally controlled the mines was no longer able to supervise them due to the war.

However, my Tang Clan can declare this place to the outside world as an extremely dangerous place, preventing others from spying on it.

We will secretly study the properties of this ore. If we can control it, it will surely be of great help to our Tang Clan.

However, due to the perilous nature of the mine, it would be tantamount to suicide for ordinary disciples to go. But this disciple possesses a special constitution that allows him to harness the malevolent energy for his own use. If the sect leader trusts him, this disciple is willing to take responsibility for this matter.

Cui Ming's words were half true and half false, highlighting his own merits and abilities while cleverly concealing Yong En's existence and the living puppet.

He then brought up both the dangers and value of uranium ore, positioning himself as the only suitable person to handle the matter, thus leaving room for future use of the mine for further refinement and experimentation.

After listening to Cui Ming's words, Tang Bingwen unconsciously tapped his fingers on the armrest of his seat.

"The location of the mine is not within the sphere of influence of my Tang Clan."

Tang Bingwen spoke slowly.

"Although this mission was taken over from Xiaozhan, you were the one who uncovered every crucial detail, from the initial mountain stronghold to the ninja in the mine, and then to the movements of the Japanese supernatural world you mentioned..."

He paused, then changed the subject, his tone becoming somewhat sharp.

"This matter is of great importance and involves many aspects. You can make your own decisions regarding the mine, but how can you guarantee that the information you obtained from that ninja leader is absolutely true?"

Cui Ming was also prepared; his tone was calm but full of confidence.

"This disciple dares not speak presumptuously, but the method used is rather special, combining the effects of the pill-devouring mutation with... cough cough, the illusion array technique borrowed from Tang Tomb."

"By directly targeting the other party's mind, one can explore their memories. If the sect leader has any doubts, this disciple can demonstrate it on the spot. The sect leader can designate an insignificant person, and this disciple can then explore that person's memories."

A glint flashed in Tang Bingwen's eyes. He was indeed quite curious about Cui Ming's unheard-of method and also harbored a desire to verify it.

"Since that's the case..."

He pondered for a moment, then summoned a disciple on duty and whispered a few words to him.

The disciple accepted the order and left, returning a moment later with a servant.

"This is the one. Let's see what you can do."

Tang Bingwen pointed to the servant who looked terrified.

Cui Ming nodded and stepped forward to the servant's side. The six mechanical arms behind him slowly unfolded, and countless carving knives emerged from the tips of the mechanical arms.

Before the servant could react, the six mechanical arms swung rapidly, carving countless tiny runes around his feet.

The flexibility of the mechanical arm further impressed Tang Bingwen.

Before long, the array was completed, and the servant was trembling like a leaf.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a routine inquiry."
