Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

Chapter 1389: Chapter 551: Setting the Strategy for Flowing Clouds

Ning Zhuo is naturally cautious and reliable. Upon hearing Meng Yaoyin say this, he immediately wanted to abandon the Nanming Fire Furnace.

Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin, however, shook her head and said, "Disasters and fortunes are fraught with unexpected dangers. By taking advantage of the opportunity presented by the Nanming Fire Furnace, you can better control the situation."

Ning Zhuo lowered his head to think, and after a few moments, he nodded, "Mother, you’re right."

With the calamity opening now, at least he has time to prepare. If it were to open suddenly in a critical future situation, it would only add to Ning Zhuo’s troubles, leaving him with little strength to handle it, resulting in dire consequences.

This is a variable.

Or rather, it is a hidden danger.

Triggering it in advance is more conducive for a cultivator to control the situation.

Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin: "According to this calamity calculation, Little Zhuo, the most suitable force for you to join would be Flowing Cloud Peak."

"Flowing Cloud Peak?" Ning Zhuo was surprised.

Myriad Images Sect has Eight Main Peaks: Heavy Array Peak, Ten Thousand Beasts Peak, Danxia Peak, Purple Thunder Peak, Sword Cry Peak, Hundred Herbs Peak, Fuyao Peak, and Flowing Cloud Peak. The problem is, the first seven peaks all have a master, but the eighth, Flowing Cloud Peak, has long had no master.

The eighth peak is extremely chaotic, with various organizations and small factions intertwined and entangled. The Peak Master is only a temporary position, held by the most outstanding cultivator, and not truly recognized by the sect.

When considering which force to join, Ning Zhuo first excluded the eighth peak, Flowing Cloud Peak.

But Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin’s suggestion pointed directly to this peak.

Ning Zhuo inquired further: "The eighth peak is not a unified force. Every Feiyun Conference bursts forth numerous small organizations that storm this peak. They battle fanatically with the old forces on the peak, ultimately deciding a relative victor, whose leader temporarily assumes the position of Peak Master. But doing so is actually illegitimate, as the ’Peak Master’s position’ has never been truly recognized by the sect."

"No, Mother, you’re aware of this situation. Your intention is..."

Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin shook her head: "This is not my intention. It is the result I deduced from the calamity calculation. You can certainly join one of the forces, participate, and the more actively you engage, the more you can mitigate this calamity. If you can find a leader and assist him in becoming the temporary Peak Master of the eighth peak, that’s acceptable too. The greater your role, the faster your calamity is consumed."

Calamity is intertwined with fortune. The sooner Ning Zhuo consumes it, as long as he withstands the trials, the benefits he gains will be greater and his progression more significant.

Ning Zhuo nodded silently, keeping this suggestion firmly in mind.

With calamity looming, it is always a hidden danger that must be resolved somehow.

Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin: "My advice to you is to first strive on Flowing Cloud Peak, exhausting this calamity as much as possible. Then, during the final phase of the Feiyun Conference, choose the force or faction you desire, join it, to coordinate with your strategy and plans in White Paper Immortal City."

"There is one more thing."

Ning Zhuo’s heart trembled: "One last thing?"

Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin reached out, touched Ning Zhuo’s head, and after soothing him, said, "This matter is also a regret of mine during my lifetime. If you can accomplish it, it would greatly aid your entry into Myriad Images Sect."

At this point, Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin paused: "Perhaps... let’s postpone it for now."

Ning Zhuo: "Mother, what is it? I will do my utmost to help you compensate your regret!"

Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin looked deeply at him: "I have another Separate Mansion somewhere in Flying Cloud Country, where many of my relics are stored. Once you go there, you will learn about it and then decide."

Ning Zhuo then asked for the location of the Separate Mansion.

But Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin shook her head: "When the time comes, you will learn of it naturally. Knowing it now would be more harmful than beneficial to you."

Ning Zhuo disliked enigmatic people, but the current enigmatic person is his mother, and he reluctantly pouted: "Alright."

Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin slightly lifted her head, her gaze seemed to penetrate the formation looking into the distance: "I’m going into a deep sleep now."

Ning Zhuo’s eyes reddened, softly calling, "Mother!"

Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin tapped his head with a finger: "Do you think divination doesn’t exhaust energy and spirit? Digesting Wu Hen’s principles requires deeper retreat."

"This is all for a longer-lasting companionship as a reward!"

"Mother..." Ning Zhuo was persuaded, his nose felt sour, still holding too much unwillingness. Such an encounter, for him, was indeed too brief.

Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin, however, slowly closed her eyes, leaving only one sentence: "Little Zhuo, you’ve grown up, it’s time to walk your path. Remember, your path must be chosen by yourself."

In the next moment, she fell silent again, as before, in utter stillness.

"Mother!" Ning Zhuo called out, receiving no response.

He lowered his head and reached out, using the back of his hand to wipe in front of him, then, with a face full of solemnity and seriousness, he returned Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin’s Mechanical Body to the Storage Waist Belt.

The young boy instinctively touched his Mechanical Ring, which remained motionless.

After a long while, Ning Zhuo managed to calm his emotions, reflecting on this rare mother-son reunion.

Meng Yaoyin’s assistance was indeed tremendous for him!

She not only provided help regarding the Nanming Fire Furnace but also explained the profound meanings of fortune and fate. Although these were fragmented pieces of knowledge, they already broadened Ning Zhuo’s vision greatly.

"Since Mother is proficient in the cultivation technique of divination, I will seek her teachings when she wakes up next time."

Unconsciously, Ning Zhuo had this thought again.

Yet instantly, he shook his head and sighed.

He already understood that heavy treasures weigh heavily, a person’s Life Plate has a limit to its capacity.

"I hold too many treasures now, the Life Plate’s endurance is limited, excess may not be beneficial."

"Moreover, the cultivation technique of divination is quite special. Most cultivators who can obtain it have a component of destiny involved."
