Divine Lord Lu Turns Ruthless
Little B, greed is indeed a driving force for human progress.
However, we can't let our current goals be delayed.
The real priority is to get my hands on the "Heavenly Art True Scroll" and the "Taiwei Puppet Profound Scripture," and fill up all the "Multiskilling" Trait Slots!
Lu Ping decisively chose A.
[You chose A.]
[With a flick of your wrist, a Green Jade medicine bottle appeared in your palm.]
[You flicked the cork off the bottle, and a rich, vibrant energy spread throughout the hall.]
Upon smelling the medicinal fragrance, Gongshu Ke on the high platform noticeably quickened his breathing slightly.
"I happen to have one of the Creation Life-Restoring Pills on hand."
You pressed the cork back in and shook the bottle in your palm.
"One hand presents the elixir, the other the scripture."
[Gongshu Ke stared at the Jade Bottle in your hand for two breaths, then took out two Jade Slips and sent them flying to you with a burst of Spiritual Power.]
[You also sent the Green Jade medicine bottle over at the same time.]
The Jade Slip and the medicine bottle passed each other in mid-air.
[You caught the two Jade Slips, probed them with your Divine Sense, and confirmed that they were indeed the complete "Heavenly Art True Scroll" and "Taiwei Puppet Profound Scripture."]
[Once you got what you wanted, your smile grew even wider.]
However, even after the deal is done, some old scores still need to be settled.
[Just as Gongshu Ke gripped the medicine bottle, before he could even examine it, you had already put away the Jade Slip and uttered those four words to him.]
I’ll Make Three Points.
[I’ll Make Three Points, and they will take effect.]
[Upon uttering the Soul-Seizing Four-Character Instruction, Gongshu Ke on the high platform froze abruptly, the light in his eyes quickly fading, and he fell into a state of blank disorientation.]
The entire Thousand Machines Hall seemed to have been paused.
[You tapped your finger repeatedly, and dozens of Formation Flags shot out, disappearing into the surrounding area of the main hall.]
[Great Five Elements Heaven-Trapping Formation, activate!]
[A five-colored light flashed within the hall and vanished in an instant, instantly isolating the entire hall from the outside world, transforming it into a self-contained prison.]
[Then, you form a hand seal and gently wipe your face in front of you.]
[The Great Sun Primordial Void Seal Method is activated, erasing all Karmic Threads in this place.]
[Having done all this, you stood with your hands behind your back in the center of the hall, quietly watching Gongshu Ke on the high platform.]
Time passed little by little.
[After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Gongshu Ke's eyelids twitched slightly, and he finally snapped out of his dazed state.]
[Make a mental note of this time.]
[Very good. Currently, with your Early Spirit Transformation Stage cultivation, the duration of your strong control over Spirit Transformation cultivator of the same level using "I’ll Make Three Points" is about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.]
[Back when you were Foundation Establishment ant, you used this move to forcibly control Transformation Great Demon at Demon-Severing Cliff, and it only took a few breaths.]
[It seems the duration of control over this divine skill is indeed closely related to your own cultivation level.]
[On the high platform, Gongshu Ke, who had just come to his senses, glanced down at the medicine bottle in his hand, then looked up at you standing in the center of the hall.]
When he spoke again, his tone had returned to its initial flatness.
"What did you do to me?"
[Before he finished speaking, he suddenly froze.]
[Gongshu Ke's eyes flashed with a blue light, his previously wooden and dull expression changed drastically, and a terrifying pressure emanated from his body, pressing down on you.]
"Who dares to touch my pawn...?"
The voice was layered and overlapping, carrying an air of superior indifference.
[Salty Fish, in effect.]
That oppressive aura is nothing more than a gentle spring breeze to you.
[You let out a scoff.]
[You've already trapped this coward with the Great Five Elements Heaven-Trapping Formation -Trapping Formation, and you're still putting on airs?]
[The descending Divine Sense clearly sensed something amiss, and sent a wisp of its consciousness out of the main hall, only to crash into the boundary wall of the Great Five Elements Heaven-Trapping Formation.]
[The grand formation forms its own realm, easily blocked by ordinary teleportation talismans. Furthermore, you erased the Karmic Thread using the Great Sun First-Emptiness Seal, severing this divine thought's connection to its original form, turning it into a caged beast.]
[You know perfectly well that villains die from talking too much. Naturally, you won't waste time talking to a mysterious divine thought; your Trait instantly maxed out.]
[An incense burner flew onto your shoulder, and tens of thousands of Spirit Stones rained down on Gongshu Ke, also passing through that divine thought.]
[VIP: I'm the Client, this agreement is effective.]
[Work from Home, effective.]
[Bully at Home, effective.]
[Their absolute combat power, unmatched among their peers, overwhelmed them.]
[Men and Women Working Together Don't Tire; this is effective.]
[Friday Syndrome, in effect.]
[33x combat power, fully stacked.]
Lu Ping's eyes darkened slightly as he looked at the notification that his combat power was fully stacked at thirty-three times.
The Bully at Home, granting invincibility among those of the same level, was triggered, as was the 33x combat power.
Gongshu Ke is undoubtedly a Nascent Spirit Transformation, thus triggering invincibility among those of the same level.
Therefore, what is above the Spirit Transformation realm is naturally that mysterious divine thought.
[This time you didn't use the Star River Myriad Blades from your Dantian; you simply raised your right hand, Myriad-Blade Gang Qi swirled around your body, unleashing a surge of Killing Intent.]
[Then, the Gang Qi enveloped Gongshu Ke. The formless and intangible Gang Qi instantly entered Gongshu Ke's body.]
[Gongshu Ke's skin and flesh rapidly faded, revealing his underlying copper-crystal skeleton.]
[This Gongshu Ke has transformed into a humanoid Mechanism Puppet!]
[Your Thousand Mechanisms Killing Intent follows a treacherous, Unending Until Death path.]
[Reverse Engineering, in effect.]
[You have an uncanny understanding of the Restrictions within the puppet's body.]
[The galactic Gang Qi, imbued with Killing Intent, surged forward, violently twisting along the core control Restriction!]
[Before even a scream could escape, the divine thought residing within the puppet's body was shredded to pieces and instantly annihilated.]
[Your Salty Fish Sacred Body is inherently the least afraid of battles between spirits and souls.]
[You still possess the Thousand Mechanisms Killing Intent; dealing with a mere wisp of divine thought is naturally a piece of cake.]
[When you were still Foundation Establishment ant, you dared to devour a fragment of the Heavenly Demon Chunwu's soul at Demon-Severing Cliff. This is merely a wisp of divine thought as a backup plan, naturally unable to withstand your devastation.]
[As the invading divine sense was obliterated, the core Restrictions within the puppet shattered.]
[Gongshu Ke's mechanical body lay paralyzed in the main position, the bronze crystal armor on his chest cracking open to the sides, revealing a Spirit Crystal core covered in runes.]
[You stepped onto the platform and looked down at the Spirit Crystal.]
[A faint wisp of soul light floats within the Spirit Crystal.]
You sighed inwardly.
[Judging from this, the real Gongshu Ke was most likely imprisoned in this mechanical body after his soul was extracted and refined, serving as a puppet for countless years.]
[The dignified Sect Master of the Thousand Mechanisms Sect met such an end; he can be considered a tragic figure.]
[You join two fingers together, Spiritual Power emanating from their tips, and probe towards the puppet's chest, preparing to shatter the Spirit Crystal and release the remnant soul.]
[Your Spiritual Power has not yet reached the surface of the Spirit Crystal.]
[Suddenly, the Spirit Crystal shone brightly, and a weakened Primordial Spirit emerged from within it.]
[The features of that Primordial Spirit were unmistakably those of Gongshu Ke himself!]
[Gongshu Ke's Primordial Spirit opened its mouth and let out an extremely weak cry.]
"Fellow Daoist, please stop immediately... Do not destroy this physical body!"
[Options pop up.]
[A: Let's hold off for now and listen to the dying words of this Thousand Mechanisms Sect Master.]
[B: Don't believe a single word the villain says. No matter what he shouts, just stab the Spirit Crystal with one finger and send him down to join that divine thought!]
[C: You pull out a screwdriver and a soldering iron, press down on Gongshu Ke's head and laugh wildly: "Don't move! This grandmaster graduated from Blue Star Lanxiang Technical School, specializing in repairing second-hand scrapped mechs! Today I'll install an eight-cylinder turbocharged engine for you for free, guaranteeing to turn you from a half-paralyzed wooden man into the Thousand Mechanisms Sect Transformer!"]
