Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master - Chapter 1497

Chapter 1497: Chapter 614: Divine Skills Connecting the Divine (Part 2)

Wen Suzhen spoke softly, “Your constitution is unique; your Upper Dantian is gone, and your Divine Sense has merged with your Golden Blood body. Ordinary Magic Treasures are unsuitable for you, but this path is perfect. If successful, you will reach a new realm, able to condense the Golden Blood into a pill; once dispersed, it will be like a Great Nourishing Spirit Pill, enhancing the body, extending mana, nurturing soul thoughts, stabilizing the Qi Mechanism, almost omnipotent.”

Qiu Lei was more direct: “We’ve invested so much, we need some assurance. You will sign the Contract to serve the Flowing Cloud Peak’s various forces for thirty years. Thirty years, that’s nothing to a Golden Core Cultivator.”

The Flowing Gold Guest shook his head repeatedly.

“I know the wonders of Divine Skills, but I need a life to use them!”

“You’ve funded me hoping I would fight Ning Zhuo. But I’ve already been beheaded twice.”

“A third time?”

“The third time, will Ning Zhuo spare me?”

Silence fell in the Cloud Cave.

The Flowing Gold Guest’s chest heaved, his face turned blue, and his voice became hoarse: “You’re just onlookers. You haven’t experienced being beheaded!”

No one responded.

It was as if the Flowing Gold Guest’s old wounds were torn open, and the fears buried within surged to the surface again.

His fingers instinctively touched his neck.

It was already restored, but in his mind, an icy scar seemed to linger there, cold at the slightest touch.

The Flowing Gold Guest stared at everyone, speaking slowly: “You’re asking me to risk my life; I won’t do it. I’m also a member of the Myriad Images Sect; unless through the Martial Arts Hall, you can’t do anything to me!”

Lei Wangyue’s face darkened as tiny arcs of lightning danced around him.

The Golden Hairpin Old Woman took a deep breath, her gaze icy.

Ye Qingming was also present, sitting next to a Green Tea Lamp, her demeanor gentle, her tone like a gentle stream: “Fellow Taoist Flowing Gold Guest, we can see your fear of Ning Zhuo. There’s no shame in fear. Ning Zhuo, how could he be a regular genius? If it were me, I might not fight again after the first beheading.”

“Just for that, your bravery surpasses mine, fellow Taoist Flowing Gold Guest.”

The Flowing Gold Guest’s expression eased slightly.

Ye Qingming continued, “But you must realize you can’t retreat anymore. You’ve been defeated by Ning Zhuo twice, and Flowing Cloud Peak’s forces have also been defeated by him twice. How do people view you? How do they view us?”

Jin Mantang laughed heartily, patting his belly: “We’ve taken the business this far and lost everything. If we don’t turn it around, we’ll become the laughing stock on Flowing Cloud Peak.”

Flowing Gold Guest retorted coldly, “That’s your joke, what does it have to do with me?”

Xu Duanchao, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: “Do you think you have another path?”

His voice was cold, like a knife scraping bone.

“If you don’t fight Ning Zhuo, Ning Zhuo will continue to use you. If you don’t accept our opportunity, you’ll remain the beheaded Flowing Gold Guest. If you accept, there still is a chance for a comeback.”

The Flowing Gold Guest’s face twitched slightly.

He resented this statement.

But he knew the statement held truth.

Even now, on the streets, people covertly called him “The Beheading Guest.” In the Transmission Shadow Jade Scrolls, the scenes of him being beheaded by Ning Zhuo and conceding replayed repeatedly. Every spreading instance felt like a slap, not just on his face, but also on his Dao Heart.

Lei Wangyue made a final cut: “The sect rules of the Myriad Phenomena Sect are such that we can’t do anything to you. But you’re old enough to know; to deal with someone, why restrict oneself to the Martial Arts Hall? There are many ways; I could discuss them with you for days, right?”

The Flowing Gold Guest’s eye twitched.

He gritted his teeth, “Thirty years of loyalty is absolutely impossible!”

Qiu Lei frowned slightly, “Then what do you propose?”

The Flowing Gold Guest was silent for a moment, then slowly said, “I can accept your funding and agree to fight Ning Zhuo again. But the Contract needs to be altered.”

Lei Wangyue sneered: “You’re negotiating terms?”

The Flowing Gold Guest looked up, finally showing a hint of fierceness in his eyes: “If you can find someone else to fight Ning Zhuo, why waste words with me here?”

The atmosphere in the Cloud Cave became tense.

This statement precisely hit the soft spot of everyone present.

Flowing Gold Guest is a pawn, but he’s currently the most suitable one. Replacing him might not push Ning Zhuo to accept the battle. Only Flowing Gold Guest carries two previous battles with Ning Zhuo, making a third straightforward, avoiding external criticism.

Additionally, the major forces of Flowing Cloud Peak wouldn’t achieve acceptance even if they won through someone other than Flowing Gold Guest.

Ning Zhuo’s declaration after the second battle acted as if Flowing Gold Guest was challenged specifically!

Wen Suzhen sighed, “So be it. The thirty-year loyalty can be amended. You need not pledge loyalty to the forces; you only have to promise one thing.”

The Flowing Gold Guest looked at him.

Wen Suzhen said, “We each shall assist you to achieve the Quasi-Divine Realm, and in return, you must do one thing for each participating party. The conditions cannot violate your Dao Heart’s essence, cannot deliberately send you to die, and cannot control your Divine Soul with the Contract. How does that sound?”

Jin Mantang interjected immediately, “That’s good. The deal is clear, one task each, straightforward and agreeable for everyone.”

Lei Wangyue, though displeased, only snorted coldly without further pressure.

Ye Qingming nodded lightly, “A one-task agreement sounds better than loyalty and is easier for outsiders to accept.”

The Golden Hairpin Old Woman looked at the Flowing Gold Guest, “If you still don’t agree, then it’s not caution but rather you’re simply unredeemable.”

Qiu Lei’s gaze was sharp, “Don’t blame us then.”

The Flowing Gold Guest took a deep breath, staring at the golden page Contract.

After a long while, he finally reached out, touched the Contract, and infused Mana.

The golden page vibrated, the dense blood patterns faded, forming a new text. The thirty-year loyalty was erased, replaced by the “one task per party” agreement.

Watching this, the Flowing Gold Guest still felt uneasy. But beyond the unease, a streak of greed began to quietly burn.

Quasi-Divine Realm!

“If the Golden Liquid Returning Pill Body can truly push to the Quasi-Divine Realm…”

In his mind, Ning Zhuo’s face appeared again.

The white-robed youth, with calm demeanor, wielding the Flame Saber, under the gaze of all, severed his head, also shattering his renown.

The Flowing Gold Guest’s fingers slowly tightened.

“Ning Zhuo,” he growled inwardly, “If I truly achieve the Quasi-Divine Realm, come the third battle, it’s your turn to fear me!”

Without further hesitation, he signed the Contract.

With the signing, the atmosphere in the Cloud Cave instantly shifted.

The previous oppression, coldness, and probing were swept away by a gust of cloud wind. Everyone ceased unnecessary talk, each solemnly presenting their real trump cards.

The first to open was the Golden Stone Alliance’s treasure box.

The Golden Hairpin Old Woman personally lifted the lid, revealing not gemstones or brilliance, but a pale gold stone the size of a fist. Its surface was covered with natural Pill Patterns, spiraling inward like a Golden Core embedded in stone.

“Taibai Pill Origin Gold.”

The Golden Hairpin Old Woman’s voice held a hint of pain: “This has been buried in the Gold Stone Earth Lungs for three hundred years, bathed in Starlight to produce Pill Patterns. Refining it into your Golden Blood will make it not only sharp but also capable of solidifying into a pill.”

The Thunder Cloud Association offered a bottle of Purple Gold Thunder Marrow.

Opening the stopper, inside was lightning like liquid, the spark not blue or purple, but gold tinged with purple.

Lei Wangyue said, “This is the essence of Tribulation Thunder accumulated beneath the Tribulation Crossing Platform. Your Golden Blood is too smooth, lacking the refinement of tribulation. This marrow entering your body will hurt as though you wish to tear out your flesh, but withstand it, and your Golden Blood will endure the thunder without dispersion.”

The Suspended Pot Residence presented a set of gold needles as thin as cow’s hair.

Wen Suzhen held the needles with solemn expression: “These are the Life-extending Golden Needles, sealing residual medicinal properties of the Nine Orifice Blood Gold Embryo. Later, I’ll seal three hundred and sixty-five blood apertures around your body with these needles, requiring your Golden Blood to condense internally without leaking.”

The Territorial Expansion Alliance’s Qiu Lei didn’t take out a treasure box, but poured from his sleeve a handful of dark golden sand.

As the sand hit the ground, it transformed into a small mountain range.

“Earth Lung Hidden Gold Sand,” Qiu Lei explained. “Harvested from the depths of the Earth Veins of Heavy Array Peak, infused with residual warmth from the Fire Vein. This sand spreads into an array, making it feel as though you tread upon a gold vein, with Gold Qi continually fed into your blood.”
