Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master - Chapter 1508

Chapter 1508: Chapter 620: Collusion

Ning Zhuo had not completely refined the Blood Ash Tinder, so its use was limited in time.

“If the related rituals can be completed, perhaps it can be fully refined.”

“However, this ultimately belongs to the Red Robe Guest. Wanting to trade for it may require a lot of sacrifice.”

After trying it out for a while, Ning Zhuo put away the Blood Ash Tinder.

“Battles are never won with just a single treasure.”

“Flowing Gold Guest will surely have many new tactics in the third battle. The Blood Ash Tinder can counter its blood, but may not be able to overcome its entire setup. What is truly valuable is perfecting my combat system.”

Focusing solely on countering is, in a sense, missing the point.

In this regard, Ning Zhuo and the various factions from Flowing Cloud Peak supporting Flowing Gold Guest this time are in agreement. Both parties are determined to steadfastly follow their paths.

Ning Zhuo chose to delve into the Empty Valley Sound Green Mechanism Tube inheritance.

This mechanism inheritance has been continuously improved, updated, and optimized over generations, becoming very complete, with most content reaching a stage where it cannot be improved further.

Thus, the inheritance naturally includes Mechanical Techniques.

The Empty Valley Transmission Skill can make mechanical artifacts transmit sound commands to each other, greatly reducing the burden on the controller’s Divine Sense. This skill is not the hardest to learn but prioritizes foundation, requiring the mechanism’s own sound holes, reeds, and bamboo structure to be responsive.

The Green Machine Vibration Spring Skill can sharply increase the mechanism’s actions, with explosive power, but at the cost of increased reed wear, suitable for desperate situations, not for frequent use.

The Bamboo Hole Hidden Sound Skill can pre-seal a sound command within the mechanism, which activates under specific circumstances. Its biggest challenge lies in “concealing without leaking, triggering without confusion.” If the sound command is too shallow, it scatters with any disturbance; if too deep, it’s difficult to trigger, wasting effort.

The Green Bamboo Continuation and Supplement Skill can temporarily mend the mechanism’s framework, especially suitable for bamboo structure, supports, wings, and similar damage. This technique doesn’t truly repair but temporarily substitutes with mana to force it to continue on the battlefield, at the cost of severe mana consumption.

Harmonization Skill can unify different mechanism rhythms, Valley Roar Gathering Skill can combine multiple machines’ strength into one strike, Empty Valley Return Nest Skill can recall scattered mechanisms, and Ten Thousand Bamboo Heavenly Music Skill is an excellent enhancement method for large-scale mechanism groups.

Ning Zhuo was already familiar with the content of these Mechanical Techniques.

The young cultivator couldn’t uncover the latest intelligence on Flowing Gold Guest, only estimating: “Flowing Gold Guest will surely continue to target my Mechanical Bird Group next time. There has been precedent with the Alarm Whistle, and the Golden Stone Opening Skill has also appeared. The probability of Flowing Cloud Peak’s various factions continuing to target me is extremely high.”

“My time is too tight, and energy scattered on many fronts; I cannot master all Mechanical Techniques.”

“Alas, the appearance of the Sun Raising Yang Locking Cloud Altar disrupted my pace, otherwise I could have been much more composed.”

“But now it’s as if I’ve been rushed into the battlefield by Chun Yangzi, and the pace has greatly accelerated!”

“Trying to do too much can lead to inefficiency. First, choose what’s easiest to yield results.”

Ning Zhuo ultimately selected three techniques to focus on practice.

They are: Empty Valley Transmission Skill, Bamboo Hole Hidden Sound Skill, Green Bamboo Continuation and Supplement Skill.

The young cultivator first practiced the Empty Valley Transmission Skill.

Twelve Mechanical Birds were released by him, split into three rows, hovering within the Martial Arts Array Space.

Ning Zhuo’s fingertip fell on the strings; the Ancient Zither lightly sounded, and a clear tone was sent into the body of the frontmost Neck Spear Crane. The Neck Spear Crane’s bamboo structure trembled, and a thin resonance sounded from inside the reed, the sound command transmitting along the resonance from one mechanical bird to the others.

The first time, the rear mechanical birds were half a beat slow.

The second time, the third Neck Spear Crane flared its wings prematurely, almost crashing into the side Sleeve Stabbing Kite.

The third time, the Holding Festival Pheasant mistook the remaining sound, landing a breath too early.

Ning Zhuo was undaunted, repeatedly adjusting pitch, rhythm, residual sound, compressing the Ancient Zither’s sound until only a thread of Empty Valley Echo remained. That echo entered one machine, then transmitted to others, like a breeze passing through a bamboo forest—as the front bamboo sounded, the rear bamboo responded.

By the nineteenth time, all twelve mechanical birds finally synchronized in turning.

Feathers spread, bamboo structure gently resonated, despite different models, Neck Spear Crane, Sleeve Stabbing Kite, Holding Festival Pheasant achieved basic synchronization in this transmission sound.

Ning Zhuo nodded slightly.

After continued practice, he then attempted the Bamboo Hole Hidden Sound Skill.

Ning Zhuo played the Ancient Zither, urging the rhythm, pressing a “Side Sweep Evasion” sound command into it.

After releasing the mechanism, he deliberately used chaotic sounds to interfere, then had a small Mechanical Puppet launch a side attack.

Sleeve Stabbing Kite’s flight paused, seemingly disrupted by chaotic noise.

Yet, as the Mechanical Puppet approached, its abdominal bamboo hole suddenly emitted a slight resonance. The hidden sound activated itself, and Sleeve Stabbing Kite slanted past the puppet’s blade, tail feather’s metal strips slicing in reverse, sparking a cascade along the puppet’s shoulder.

While practicing, Ning Zhuo pondered: “This Mechanical Technique tests the cultivator’s battle experience greatly. The more experienced one is, the stronger their combat intuition, allowing them to set up means in advance to counter strong enemy maneuvers. Quite fascinating!”

The last was the Green Bamboo Continuation and Supplement Skill.

Ning Zhuo deliberately broke a leg bone of a Holding Festival Pheasant, then forced it to run. After only three steps, the broken bone crackled with crisp sounds, causing its form to buckle.

Ning Zhuo raised his finger to point, a thread of azure mana sprouting like a bamboo shoot, quickly extending from the fracture, forming a semi-transparent temporary bamboo bone. That bamboo bone was not firm, but very resilient, supporting the mechanism frame’s upper and lower sections, allowing Holding Festival Pheasant to stand firm again.

Next moment, Holding Festival Pheasant abruptly leaped forward, its posture slightly awkward but still capable of completing a charge.

Ning Zhuo continuously practiced the three techniques until the night deepened.
