Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

Chapter 971: Chapter 349: A Chess Player’s Vision

Ning Zhuo took the initiative to send a visiting card, waited for a day, and saw no response, he knew what that meant.

He was not surprised at all. Because before taking this action, the big-headed boy had already anticipated this possibility.

"It seems Yu Heye doesn’t take me seriously."

This reaction is reasonable.

In Yu Heye’s eyes, Ning Zhuo is just a newbie Foundation Establishment Cultivator attracted to the Feiyun Conference.

Where did this little nobody come from?

He didn’t even know Ning Zhuo!

Even Liu Fu hasn’t properly investigated Ning Zhuo. Who would cover the cost of such an investigation? How much is appropriate to spend for just a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?

Although Ning Zhuo has shown some means, is it worth it?

So far, it is not worth Yu Heye’s side paying more attention.

"Moreover, the deeper you cultivate the Reverse Five Elements Demon Technique, the stronger the combat power, but the harder it is to control, with an increased probability of deviation."

"Only those with outstanding realms can restrain such a chaotic state."

"Yu Heye is already at the limit of his cultivation, according to intelligence, he has long been overwhelmed, spending the majority of his daily cultivation time controlling his Dantian, adjusting his state, to avoid deviation."

"In this situation, his attention naturally will not be on me."

Yu Heye’s side disregards Ning Zhuo and does not investigate him, but Ning Zhuo would not make such a mistake.

He even bought a part of the Reverse Five Elements Demon Technique to come back and study.

The main mountain gate of the Myriad Images Sect naturally does not have a Complete Book Pavilion, but among the Sixteen Halls, there is one hall called the Inheritance Hall, whose functions are similar to those of the Complete Book Pavilion.

The greatest advantage of the Reverse Five Elements Demon Technique is its combat power. For any cultivator who practices this technique, the early progress in cultivation is both fast and fierce, and their combat power often exceeds that of peers.

There are two drawbacks.

First, the probability of deviation in the Reverse Five Elements Demon Technique is very high, far exceeding cultivation techniques of the same grade.

Second, the upper limit of the Reverse Five Elements Demon Technique is relatively low, it can only be cultivated up to the Nascent Soul Stage. This is a technique that only reaches the Nascent Soul Stage.

Ning Zhuo’s Five Elements realm is very profound, and after just reading it once, he understood this Reverse Five Elements Demon Technique.

This kind of Demon Skill mainly cultivates the Middle Dantian Qi Sea and the Lower Dantian Essence Sea, focusing on replacing Spiritual Energy with Essence Blood, using the body’s internal organs instead of external Five Elements Spiritual Mechanism.

Under normal circumstances, even Ning Zhuo transforms external Spiritual Power into his own Mana through the Five Elements Technique. Whatever spell category, it’s based on the cultivation technique. A Wood Element Technique results in Wood Element Mana. Ning Zhuo’s Five Elements Qi Regulation Art results in Five Elements Mana.

The Reverse Five Elements Demon Technique derives from the internal organs. The Five Elements are categorized by the five internal organs, from which the cultivator extracts the spiritual mechanism, outputting through essence blood, is closer to the Mana source used by cultivators.

This essence blood can quickly transform into Five Elements Mana, likewise, Five Elements Mana can transform back into essence blood, replenishing the body.

This cultivation mechanism means the Essence Sea is another Qi Sea; the Qi Sea can also be regarded as a special Essence Sea.

Adding two Dantians together naturally makes the practitioner of the Reverse Five Elements Demon Technique exceptionally powerful. This essence blood flowing from the five internal organs can quickly transform into Mana of the individual elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, agilely commanded like an arm.

Mana of individual elements like metal, wood, water, fire, and earth can also back-convert into essence blood, strengthening the body, enhancing melee power.

Therefore, practitioners of the Reverse Five Elements Demon Technique are usually capable of both ranged and melee combat.

But also due to the principles of this technique, practitioners are prone to deviation.

The reason is very clear—independently generated Mana transforming into essence blood is not self-produced, to assimilate requires long-term nurturing.

Transforming essence blood into Mana will dramatically reduce the underlying strength of the body. The body is the foundation, and excessively drained essence blood equates to severe injuries, bringing negative impacts in many ways, causing chain worsening.

Moreover, the mutual generation and restriction among Five Elements Mana are complexly connected, the Mana stored in the Qi Sea Dantian is inherently threatening, requiring a cultivation technique to harmonize, arrange, and prevent internal conflicts.

Just like Ning Zhuo’s Five Elements Qi Regulation Art forms a Five Elements vortex in the Qi Sea Dantian to transform and coexist.

The Five Elements Mana of the Reverse Five Elements Demon Technique is not only stored in the Qi Sea Dantian but also mixed within the body! After all, the conversion of essence blood and Five Elements Mana isn’t instantaneous, even if brief, it needs some time.

Mixed Five Elements Mana and essence blood together in the body, that’s a big issue!

If not handled well, it’s like a powder keg, a little carelessness and it might explode. Even if it doesn’t explode, the minor frictions, slight mutual consumption accumulated will also be a continuing torment to the body.

So, cultivators who have successfully cultivated the Reverse Five Elements Demon Technique often carry internal injuries.

After Ning Zhuo paid the price and mastered the entire Reverse Five Elements Demon Technique, he gained much more confidence in dealing with Yu Heye.

It also added a significant portion of experience utilizing the Five Elements for him.

"Although my Five Elements realm is quite profound, I have very little practical application experience. After all, the time spent cultivating has been too short."

"Perhaps I should massively collect some Five Elements related cultivation techniques to enrich my experience library."

"With this accumulated knowledge, I will eventually have the capability to self-create Five Elements cultivation techniques."

Ning Zhuo had this insight from the heart and thought of this goal.

His Five Elements realm is exceedingly advanced, being able to create spells in combat, but creating a cultivation technique is much harder than creating spells. Yet, with rich theoretical and practical experience, he could fill the largest gaps and create his own cultivation technique.
