Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

“The formation we originally entered is known as the Jade Drip Formation. As the saying goes, ‘The golden door yet to be opened, the jade drip still falls. Cascading beneath the carriage, therein rest we find.’ With the Unparalleled Demon Nest not eradicated, we could only suppress and seal it. This night has continued uninterrupted since the Blood Slaughter Dynasty, never ceasing. Only the venerable ancestors’ guardianship has kept this night from returning to the world, sparing the common folk from calamity. The virtues of the venerable ancestors shall shine eternally!”

Ning Zhuo spoke everyone’s thoughts, and the others showed solemn expressions, echoing the sentiment.

The suppression of the Unparalleled Demon Nest began in Emperor Wu’s Era and has continued till today—how many years has it been?

These Dharma Bodies within the Luminous Mirror never flagged, stifling the calamity of the demon beasts to prevent it from spilling out. This is a great service to all clans in the present world!

The Jade Drip still drips, the night has not passed, but it is these people who, over thousands of years, have continually struggled to grant the world its brightness.

Jingyu Immortal Princess looked at the bowing Ning Zhuo and smiled faintly, “Young friend Ning Zhuo, please rise. As the rivers flow and the waves follow in unending succession, to have your recognition means a lot to us predecessors. It is, in a way, our explanation to the generations that follow.”

Suddenly a Dharma Body appeared: “Hahaha, I heard just now. With this recognition, I feel that guarding this place, even if through endless years, has been worth it!”

The laughing figure was dressed in a gray robe, pale-faced, with fangs and green eyes—a zombie. Despite his terrifying appearance, he had a grand demeanor with a clear, calm gaze.

Sun Lingtong let out a sound of surprise: “Is, is that not Master Sima Zhong?”

Ning Zhuo immediately became respectful, performing a bow toward the newcomer.

Sima Zhong was a world-renowned historian in this realm. Back then, he served as a Historian, recording the words and deeds of the Monarch. Due to his adherence to impartiality and truth, he was secretly harmed by the Monarch, thrown into prison without freedom.

For the sake of restoring historical truth, Sima Zhong sacrificed his own life, using a living person’s body to cultivate into a zombie, thus gaining extended longevity. Throughout his life, he wielded a sharp pen with impartiality, exploring historical relics, restoring the original truth, and earning the admiration of countless generations.

It was unexpected that Sima Zhong also left an image within the Luminous Mirror.

Sima Zhong’s green eyes and fangs scanned Ning Zhuo up and down, taking a liking to the impression of this young man with a big head: “A true talent indeed. Every age has its own new lifters of waves. Seeing you outstanding juniors brings me joy.”

He glanced over Ning Zhuo’s waist and then took another look at Zhu Xuanji before bursting into laughter again: “Very good, very good.”

“You three, along with Linghu Jiu, before you leave this place, each take with you a Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Water Essence.”

Ning Zhuo once again expressed his thanks.

Zhu Xuanji also bowed deeply in thanks.

Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Water Essence was a cultivation resource of the Nascent Soul Level, and even as a member of the Royal Family, Zhu Xuanji could not help but feel pleasantly surprised upon acquiring such a treasure.

Sun Lingtong, inside the Ten-Thousand-Li Travelling Dragon, rubbed his head and chuckled, thinking to himself, “To receive a gift upon meeting, truly an excellent senior!”

He was quite familiar with Sima Zhong, all because his master, while still alive, had instructed him to study Sima Zhong’s works diligently.

Sima Zhong had extensive experience in excavating ancestral tombs and unearthing historical relics.

Sun Lingtong and his master, in their travels, often applied the knowledge from Sima Zhong’s works to increase their wealth.

At this time, the Five Elements Divine Master also manifested a form: “Aside from the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Water Essence, if you desire other materials, you must take action yourselves.”

“These endlessly emerging Demon Beasts are each a treasure trove.”

“You may rely on your own abilities to slay demons and acquire treasures!”
