Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

Chapter 180: Chapter 173: Discovering the Traitor?

The “Cloud’s End Memoirs” that Ning Zhuo exchanged for, he finished reading quickly.

The book, from Luo Yunzi’s perspective, narrated the story of his misfortune, wandering across the land amidst hardships, and his travels to various places.

The story was quite interesting, and Ning Zhuo also felt many local customs and traditions from different places in it.

But regarding topics like destiny and techniques to change fate, it only touched the surface without any in-depth exploration.

And this was already the best literature that Ning Zhuo could exchange for in the Complete Book Pavilion at the moment. The other few books that involved destiny, after Ning Zhuo read their brief introductions, were even worse than “Cloud’s End Memoirs.”

“Content related to destiny is not well-known, only circulating within a small range.”

“At present, the one who masters this kind of secret the most is undoubtedly the Heavenly Track Mansion.”

“Although the Heavenly Track Mansion is a super sect, its population is sparse and extremely mysterious. According to Luo Yunzi’s self-description, he once studied at the Heavenly Track Mansion, but there was no mention of the Heavenly Track Mansion in ‘Cloud’s End Memoirs.’

“However, Luo Yunzi could change someone else’s fortune within a certain time and range.”

“Bringing wealth, official career, romantic luck, and so on to people.”

“But all these spells had drawbacks; once they touched specific taboos, the results would be even worse.”

Ning Zhuo sighed inwardly.

His previous plan had failed, and he could not rely on “Cloud’s End Memoirs” to make the prototype of the Life-hanging Divine Ability achieve a qualitative change.

But it was not without gain either.

At least he learned that changing another’s fortune had many drawbacks.

“So, Meng Kui’s Mountain Gaze Divine Ability can create different fortune fields, but what are its drawbacks?”

Ning Zhuo pondered this question.

For him, Meng Kui was also a competitor vying for the Magma Fairy Palace.

The reality was cruel.

It would not cease to be a competition just because Meng Kui was in the Nascent Soul Stage, while Ning Zhuo was only in the Qi Refinement Realm.

When the final moment arrived, Ning Zhuo would inevitably face Meng Kui, a Nascent Soul.

“But if I could find out the weaknesses of his divine abilities before then, it would undoubtedly increase my chances of winning.”

Ning Zhuo continued his arduous cultivation.

His Divine Sea cultivation level could no longer advance.

His Qi Sea cultivation level had also reached its limit, but his mana needed purification.

His Essence Sea cultivation level still had room for improvement; Ning Zhuo made considerable progress in cultivation speed through consuming large amounts of spirit food and spirit pills.

“However, even if the Essence Sea cultivation reached the peak of the sixth layer, I still couldn’t break through the current bottleneck.”

Ning Zhuo was almost certain that the difficulty behind the second demon door was consistent with the Buddhist and Daoist sects. If there were no unexpected events, he would still be stuck.

“Behind the second door is a special checkpoint, awarding the Five Elements Spiritual Conversion Disk. The better I am at the Five Elements Generating and Overcoming, the higher quality conversion disk I can get.”

“Referring to the coffin room of the first Buddhist sect, there might be only one chance to choose, so I have to be extremely cautious.”

“I must heighten my proficiency in the Five Elements Generating and Overcoming as much as possible. Before that, I won’t choose the Five Elements Spiritual Conversion Disk.”

The Five Elements Generating and Overcoming required diligent practice, and so did the Cremation Prajna Spirit Liberation Sutra even more.

According to Ning Zhuo’s evaluation, this cultivation technique was the key to breaking his current predicament!

After all, compared to the Daoist and Demon Sects, the Buddhist Sect was his advantageous path.

Thus, Ning Zhuo focused on the Cremation Prajna Spirit Liberation Sutra, followed by the Five Elements Generating and Overcoming, and lastly, the Demon-infused Bloodline Technique.

He even timed his eating, drinking, waste elimination, and sleeping to the fraction of a second.

Ning Zhuo worked so diligently that those around him were in awe.

“I always thought I was hardworking, but compared to Brother Zhuo, what do I count for!”
