Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

Upon hearing this, Yong En frowned slightly and subconsciously tightened his grip on the sword hilt.

“My Lord, Yon has sworn to serve you for the rest of my life. My past family... is no longer related to me, and I will have no more attachment to it.”

She tried to show her determination; as the most loyal priestess by the side of the god, she could not let the god worry about her.

But Cui Ming simply shook his head and did not continue to explain.

He withdrew his hand and said calmly.

"If the knot in one's heart is not untied, the sword's spirit will eventually be tarnished."

"I need a sword that is always sharp, and at that time, I also happen to be going to Japan... to do something important."

Cui Ming's words carried an unquestionable tone.

Yongen looked into Cui Ming's deep eyes and silently lowered her head.

Since the deity has already given the divine will, as the first priestess under the deity's command, she must naturally carry out the deity's will to the end.

"Alright, we should head back now."

With a flick of his wrist, Cui Ming lifted up the mechanism box.

Since discovering that he could use the mechanism box instead of walking, Cui Ming became more willing to rely on it for movement.

After eliminating the last potential threat, Cui Ming quickly led Yong En back to his base.

Along the way, seemingly ordinary trees, rock crevices, and even withered branches and fallen leaves conceal various mechanical puppets.

Since successfully modifying the half-human puppet Gao Gen, Cui Ming's research on half-human puppets has become increasingly thorough.

Even before Gao Gen was fully conscious, Cui Ming used the experience he had gained from Gao Gen to strengthen and modify some of the elite rats under Xuan Su's command.

Not only were their claws and teeth made sharper and their movements faster, but they were also equipped with some small mechanisms.

In particular, there are poison needles imbued with radiating true qi, and matching small mechanical emitters.

After this modification, the mice finally gained some combat capabilities.

These poison needles are extremely fragile; they shatter almost instantly upon impact with their target, releasing the radiating energy within them.

Once contaminated, the radiating true qi will cling to the target's qi like a maggot, constantly eroding it.

If it gets into the flesh, it will erode the meridians and internal organs.

If it cannot be expelled in time, once the radiated true qi penetrates deep into the body, even a Great Immortal would be powerless to reverse the situation.

After passing through the numerous puppet barriers, the two finally entered the stronghold's territory.

Upon entering, the scenery suddenly opened up.

In stark contrast to the primitive and wild mountains and forests outside, the interior of the stronghold is furnished with a strong modern style.

The smooth, mirror-like metal floor reflected the bright, soft light from above.

It is no longer the blue light emitted by the radiation of true qi in the past, but a stable and pure white light.

Thanks to the successful development of the micro energy core, Cui Ming was finally able to live a good life.

Chapter 66 The Longhu Mountain Meeting

Time flies, and it is now 1936.

During this period, Cui Mingming, with Yong En on his face, frequently traveled between Tangmen Qiaogongtang and remote mining strongholds.

They devoted almost all their energy to construction and improvement.

Meanwhile, Gao Gen secretly tracked down and dealt with some of the most notorious members of the Quanxing gang.

Of course, sometimes you will inevitably encounter people who do not deserve to die or who have fled to Quanxing for other reasons.

He happened to witness them dealing with Quanxing, and according to Yongen's original plan, he would have killed them to end it all.

However, Cui Ming had a better idea.

Hypnosis, brainwashing, memory reshaping, mild modification, backdoor installation...

After receiving the comprehensive service, these Quanxing individuals naturally "comprehend" the tenets of true nature.

They became true members of the True Nature, and could use their individual abilities to shine brightly for the True Nature within the whole nature.

Therefore, the Quanxing faction has been continuously hunted, "turned" and "subdued" by Cui Ming over the past six months.

Cui Ming is now at least very familiar with all aspects of the activities within the Quanxing Sect, if not completely knowledgeable about them.

You should know that among these people, they may not be the strongest, but their functionality is top-notch.

However, there is now one thing that forces Cui Ming to put aside his adept "infiltration" work.

The Tang Clan has an important matter that requires his attention.

Thanks to the successful development of the micro energy core and the rapid formation of the mass production factory in the mine.

Energy issues have been greatly alleviated, and research is progressing rapidly.

Exoskeleton armor has undergone several improvements and is now lighter, stronger, more stable, and more durable.

The development of puppet prosthetics has also reached full maturity.

The product series already covers:

The standard version provides only basic support to assist with daily work and life needs;

Combat version, with concealed weapon mechanisms and a flying hook lock, which enhances individual combat capabilities to a certain extent;

Finally, there's the core model, a powered puppet prosthetic designed specifically for Inhumans.

This prosthetic limb is considered the pinnacle of Tang Sect's Divine Mechanism Techniques, and can only be activated by the user using their own Qi.

Once successfully activated, it provides considerable power, speed, and defensive capabilities.

According to the tests and assessments within the sect, he is almost comparable to Senior Brother Li Ding when he is not wearing the Black-tailed Armor and the Mysterious Armor.

This means that a person who is not good at fighting can, after being equipped with such prosthetics, achieve the same results as an ordinary martial artist who has trained for several years, thanks to the amplification provided by the prosthetics.

Moreover, this is not the limit. If research and development continues, it is truly unimaginable what the consequences could be.

Therefore, these prosthetic limbs can only be used by disciples within the Tang Clan who have undergone rigorous selection, and are strictly prohibited from being circulated outside the clan.

Cui Ming further imposed numerous restrictions on this.

First, after each powered prosthesis is distributed, the user will directly input their own Qi into the micro energy core.

It should be noted that in the Tang Sect, cultivating Qi Poison requires combining external objects with one's own Qi in order to succeed.

Therefore, the Qi of each member of the Tang Clan cannot be exactly the same; there will be subtle differences to varying degrees.

If it is not suitable for the user, this set of puppet prosthetics will instead trap the user, locking their limbs and sealing off major acupoints throughout their body.

However, if an outsider attempts to forcibly disassemble the work and try to reverse-engineer the blueprints...

Cui Ming stored a trace of Dan Shi power and a tiny amount of uranium ore within the core energy and transmission structure...

Once dismantled, the device storing the power of Dan Shi and uranium ore will shatter.

The scene of the first experiment combining uranium ore and danshinone flashed through Cui Ming's mind...

That was probably the closest he ever came to death in his entire life.

Cui Ming shook his head, hoping that no one would do anything reckless, otherwise they would definitely learn a lesson they would never forget.

Early the next morning, a group of people had already assembled in front of the Tang Clan's sect.

Cui Ming was in the first position, with Tang Miaoxing beside him, followed by Tang Tongbi, Du Fosong, and other key members of the new generation of the Tang Clan.

Several disguised mechanical puppets, resembling ordinary cargo, had already been packed and loaded onto the truck.

There are also some large iron boxes that are heavily protected, containing the key information for this operation.

Samples of different models of puppet prosthetics and related demonstration objects.

Their destination was the Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi Province.

The reason for this large-scale operation is that the Tang Clan has decided to promote the business of puppet prosthetics to the world.

Otherwise, how can one gain a foothold in this world of supernatural beings?

This move will inevitably affect the interests of other sects, especially those related to institutions and forging.

Ultimately, the Tang Clan came here to transform and survive, not to sabotage others' businesses.

Therefore, necessary talks were required. The Tang Clan paid their respects, formally established their alliance, and informed the major sects.

Whether they agree or disagree, it doesn't change the outcome of the Tang Clan's entry.

Therefore, in any case, it is still necessary to convene a friendly meeting of these major sects.

The most prominent among them is the Wuhou School of Zhejiang, whose Qimen Dunjia and Shenji techniques have a long history, not to mention that there are heroes like Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying in history.

Secondly, there is the Shandong Mohist School, which, although not a prominent school of thought in ancient times, has a lineage in the art of divine mechanism;

Furthermore, Shaanxi Tiangongtang was skilled in forging and machinery, and had closer ties with the secular world.

Rather than waiting until the product is launched and then fighting to the death in the market, it's better to make things clear from the beginning and set boundaries.

What the Tang Clan seeks is not to engage in a life-or-death struggle with these families, but rather to demonstrate their stance.

With the Tang Clan's transformation imminent, the puppet prosthetics they have developed will be a boon to the country and its people, especially to the disabled superhumans and ordinary citizens.

This is a win-win situation for the world, and we hope to find a possibility for cooperation.

The decision to hold the talks at the Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain was made after careful consideration.

Firstly, Longhu Mountain is the ancestral home of Taoism, holding a transcendent status, and its role as a mediator is acceptable to all parties.

Secondly, and most importantly, it's out of respect for the current supreme master, Zhang Jingqing.

With its prestige and strength as a guarantee, it is enough to suppress many unnecessary disputes and make the outcome of the talks more credible.

"Is everything ready?"

Cui Ming turned around and glanced at everyone.

Tang Tongbi nodded steadily, Du Fosong checked the various materials he carried, and Tang Miaoxing took a deep breath, his eyes filled with a mixture of excitement and seriousness.

They all knew that this trip was related to the fate of the Tang Clan for the next few decades or even hundreds of years.
