Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master -
Chapter 1091 - 406: You Really Are Material for the Righteous Path!
What is a Divine Shedding Treasure?
It’s when a god uses their power and Divine Skills, causing things to undergo a fundamental change, becoming completely different in nature, and filled with divinity.
Gods are divine and enlightened.
Gods are entities that grasp the principles of heaven and earth, executing its laws.
Gods often possess Divine Skills and can also establish a dojo.
A dojo contains rich principles, capable of altering a region and creating a unique environment. A god in their own dojo can unleash their strongest powers.
However, because a dojo constantly conveys principles, the foundational stand of the god is also exposed. Encountering an enemy with extraordinary insight, prolonging the battle in their own dojo might inadvertently aid the enemy, allowing them to discover the god’s flaws.
A Divine Shedding Treasure is a similar case.
For example, this half mirror left behind by the Underworld Judge. It’s infused with a certain Divine Skill, packed with principles that haven’t yet dissipated, temporarily congealed into a physical form.
To put it simply, it’s like a secret book with a time limit. Over time, the principles will gradually disperse, and the Divine Shedding Treasure will eventually disappear.
But before that, the Divine Shedding Treasure can enlighten almost all cultivators. Naturally, the higher the cultivator’s insight, the more they gain.
Sun Lingtong and Ning Zhuo are no strangers to Divine Shedding Treasures.
Because in the Netherworld, at Grey Bone Elder’s corpse collection site, they obtained many Divine Shedding Treasures from the corpses of fallen ghost gods.
But these are both similar and different to the ones left by the Underworld Judge.
The similarity lies in that they both stem from gods being summoned, infused with Divine Power, utilizing Divine Skills, and leaving remnants after defeat.
The difference is, the former are papermen, whereas the latter uses a wooden statue of a god as the base carrier.
These papermen originate from White Paper Immortal City, tracing back to the handiwork of the Refining Void Level Arcane-Pure Scholar of Great Cultivation. They are exceptionally advanced, showing no signs of dissipating so far.
But at the same time, they are hard to comprehend.
The half mirror left behind by the wooden god statue has already begun to show signs of dispersing. Conversely, its secrets are open to others for enlightenment.
After some thought, Ning Zhuo decided: "Boss, your insight is stronger than mine, you should comprehend this Divine Shedding Treasure first."
Given their close relationship, Sun Lingtong naturally didn’t hold back with Ning Zhuo, nodding directly: "Time is limited, it’s indeed best if I start."
"However, to ensure more productive outcomes, you should first teach me Awl-Thorn Vigilance Art and lend me the Ideograph Brush."
Ning Zhuo nodded without hesitation: "Of course!"
The relationship between the two isn’t just life-and-death simple; Ning Zhuo even shares the Cremation Prajna Spirit Liberation Sutra with Sun Lingtong.
Ning Zhuo taught carefully, and Sun Lingtong learned quickly.
During continuous practice, Ning Zhuo steadily corrected him. By the third attempt, Sun Lingtong had mastered it perfectly on his own.
"I’ll practice a few more times, then discuss with you." Sun Lingtong dismissed Ning Zhuo, deciding to ponder on his own.
Ning Zhuo went to the other side of the array space and started playing with musical instruments.
Many demon cultivators have music skills, with numerous demon cultivation techniques manifesting through sound. In fact, the Buddhist Sect has Lion’s Roar, Heavenly Dragon Zen Chant, Big and Small Thunder Sounds; the Taoist sect has Celestial Resonance of the Cloud Scriptures, Xuandu Shocking God Law, Green Sea Tide Birth Song; Confucianism has Song of Vast Righteous Spirit, Spring and Autumn Echo; the Military Family has War Drums that Drive Foes Forward, Breaking Formation Song, Ten-sided Ambush Sound.
The Buddhist Sect emphasizes fierce dispelling of evil and merciful purification, Taoist sect focuses on invoking natural forces, Confucianism stresses order and human culture, the Military Family values practical battle and morale-boosting.
In comparison, demon music skills appear elusive, mind-bending, capable of inciting negative emotions and desires.
Next, Ning Zhuo continuously employed the Soul Burning Boat Crossing Technique, applying righteous punishment to all souls Sun Lingtong had bought.
He acquired many demon music skills.
For instance, the Nine Nether Ocarina. When played, it requires the cultivator’s Essence Blood and soul to infuse. The sound is mournful and poignant, like a thousand souls weeping together. Those affected are overwhelmed by negative emotions, their fighting spirit crumbling, and they weep blood and tears incessantly.
Then there’s The Pipa of Wondrous Melody. Strumming the strings produces a captivating low moan, the music sounds luxurious and enchanting, able to lull others into lowering their guard, immersing in an illusory pleasure before ultimately dying in extreme joy.
Also, the Nightmare Bone Flute. This requires a specific Bone Flute Magical Artifact to perform. The flute’s sound is sharp, twisted, and ever-changing, like a cacophony of chaotic whispers, screams, manic laughter, and crying layered atop each other, directly impacting the listener’s consciousness, embedding chaotic and vivid terrifying illusions.
...
These experiences felt like ones Ning Zhuo had personally undergone, vivid and deeply impressed.
"There seems to be a lot of options, but actually, there are few applicable ones." Ning Zhuo smiled, troubled.
The style of these means is heavily steeped in demon cultivation, hardly aligning with Ning Zhuo.
Ultimately, Ning Zhuo chose the zither.
Torn Silk Torture Zither!
This music skill uses extensive string sweeping, emitting extremely sharp zither sounds, like a burning hot mystic iron awl, hammering straight into the ear canal, piercing through the cranial cavity!
The unleashed sound waves transform into invisible blades, possessing armor-shattering power. When impacting, each wave can slice the enemy to death, exceedingly cruel and full of demon cultivators’ fierce flair.
Ning Zhuo sat on a cushion, closed his eyes, imagining he had an ancient zither. His hands hovered, fingers flying, plucking and sweeping the imaginary strings.
Meanwhile, he covertly activated the Torn Silk Torture Zither music skill.
This isn’t a cultivation technique, but similar to a spell. Just that Ning Zhuo didn’t have a physical instrument or matching cultivation technique, so temporarily used Five Elements Mana as a substitute, inducing the five-colored sound blades of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
