The Celestial Person Blueprint Li Chen spoke of was a major innovation in the Puppet Dao's life-modification engineering.
Since the development of the Puppet World Heavenly Net, the cultivation world here had fully entered the process of modernization. Close cooperation among renowned Puppet Masters and expert Grand Artisans had greatly advanced their overall strength.
This blueprint had originally circulated within a particular school as a derivative method that went beyond the Creation-Promotion Secret Art. Its predecessors had successfully studied that secret art and devised an innovative modification blueprint of their own.

The Puppet Dao's life-modification techniques were founded on the Creation-Promotion Secret Art. Almost all had developed from methods such as Melt Gold, Temper Bone; Knead Clay, Transform Flesh; and Five Elements Organ-Shaping, which had initially been ways of refining Mechanism Wooden Puppets, clay puppets, or other puppets.
Later, they gradually incorporated the Spell Dao's profound yin corpse-refining methods, developing human puppets, corpse concubines, and similar creations. Classic blueprints such as the five elements treasure body had also emerged.

Even memories, primordial spirits, and blood-essence genes gradually became transplantable, no longer limited to tangible things such as limbs and organs. Like the Puppet Dao as a whole, they had broken completely free of mechanism puppet techniques and turned toward the entire field of investigating nature.
This method was a classic example of
