63: Chapter 63 Puppet (2 more updates) 63: Chapter 63 Puppet (2 more updates) As Lin Xing pushed open the coffin lid before him, a girl dressed in splendid attire with hair cascading down like a waterfall lay silently inside.
Looking at her long eyelashes, her delicate, flawless skin, and her exquisite face, one might think the girl lying there was truly alive.
However, as Lin Xing’s gaze moved to the girl’s hands and noticed the clearly non-human joints, he was once again reminded that the girl inside the coffin was not a human but a puppet left by Bai Yun.
Bai Yiyi jumped onto the edge of the coffin and looked at the lifelike puppet girl inside, exclaiming in surprise, “Did that old man really intend to reincarnate into this thing?”
Lin Xing walked over to a small table nearby, picking up so notes and partial pages to read.
The partial pages were left by an entity known as Bai Yun, and the notebook was a mix of content, including an old teacher’s diary, his experiences studying the evil land in a well, and so nonsensical ramblings.
Although Lin Xing had investigated this place in many previous ti reversals, he often hadn’t had enough ti to thoroughly read through the content.
Now Lin Xing had ample ti to peruse the notes and partial pages, especially so diary entries from the old man that provided him with a deeper understanding of the whole affair’s causes and consequences.
After descending from the mountain, the old teacher hurriedly traveled day and night, eager to return ho.
One night, while staying in a dilapidated temple, he encountered a divine statue that manifested.
The statue introduced itself as Bai Yun, telling the old teacher that he was an Immortal in his previous life and had been banished to the mortal realm for violating celestial laws.
Bai Yun, his good friend from the Immortal World, had co to offer him great fortune to aid his reincarnation and return to the ranks of the Immortals.
When the old teacher woke up, he realized it was all a dream.
However, the dream felt so real that it reignited his ambitions to achieve Immortality.
Following Bai Yun’s instructions, he searched under a tree in the temple’s backyard and astonishingly found a hidden chamber.
Inside, he discovered what was claid to be half of the Heavenly Book and a puppet girl left by Bai Yun.
The content recorded in the Heavenly Book was about how to use evil lands and malevolent spirits to cultivate a reincarnated avatar and re-embark on the path of Immortal Dao.
Looking at the content of the notes, Lin Xing thought to himself, “Who exactly is this Bai Yun?”
He then quickly glanced through the old teacher’s research notes on that half of the Heavenly Book.
Lin Xing found that for over ten years, the man had been secretly cultivating sorcery in Wang Family Town, keeping the puppet girl in a well to nurture her with the evil land’s malevolent energy.
He even covertly kidnapped passing rchants and foreigners for sacrifices, aiming to transform the puppet girl into an Immortal body suitable for his own reincarnation.
“Just another lunatic from Mirror World, recklessly obsessed with becoming an Immortal,” Lin Xing sighed, putting down the notes and picking up a partial page nearby—the so-called half Heavenly Book left by Bai Yun.
“All evil practices related to human sacrifice and malevolent energy…”
Seeing the various cruel and wicked thods in the text, even Lin Xing, with his steadfast mind, felt a strong sense of discomfort.
“Such a lack of morality,—can this truly be a thod left by an Immortal?”
The more he read, the more absurd it seed, so Lin Xing quickly flipped through the pages, only to find sothing familiar.
“Is this…
the Secret Technique to unlock the Immortal Gate?”
Looking at the content recorded on the partial page, Lin Xing compared it with the Secret Technique he had learned from Jiang Hong and found them to be exactly the sa.
Even the descriptions about unlocking the Immortal Gate were virtually identical, stating that another secret realm possessed infinite wealth, yet its natives were weak…
However, the old teacher had attempted this door-opening Secret Technique many tis over ten years ago and had never succeeded, so he had long given up.
Nurous speculations surged in his mind, yet all lacked further empirical evidence.
Lin Xing had no choice but to temporarily suppress his endless doubts and continued to look at the remaining pages.
Soon he discovered that the last fragnted page detailed a technique called the God Attachnt Skill.
“Is this the thod that ultimately transfers one’s consciousness into the Puppet Girl?” he wondered.
He glanced at the thod of practicing the God Attachnt Skill and imdiately felt its complexity.
“To cultivate this God Attachnt Skill, one must first spend three years detaching one’s mind from the body, allowing the consciousness to leave the body at will, referred to as ‘forsaking the body.'”
“Then another three years are needed to refine the thoughts to reach outside the body, achieving mind-to-mind communication, called ‘soul traveling.'”
“Finally, another three years are required to adjust one’s thoughts to match the target body, like transforming from an old man to a youth, or a strong man to a young girl, called ‘heart tuning’…”
The more Lin Xing read, the more he realized the difficulty of cultivating the God Attachnt Skill.
At the sa ti, Bai Yiyi was peeking out from the backpack, reading about the God Attachnt Skill along with Lin Xing.
As she read, she felt as if her thoughts were moving along effortlessly, and the difficult stages described in the book seed like a walk in the park to her.
Forsaking the body, soul traveling, heart tuning…
In a flicker of thought, she had already broken through the barriers.
In the blink of an eye, it seed she had mastered the God Attachnt Skill…
With a light snap, as the cat toy fell to the ground, Lin Xing exclaid in surprise, “Master Bai?
What happened to you?”
Whoosh!
Hearing the noise behind him, Lin Xing swiftly turned around, only to see the Puppet Girl sitting upright in the coffin, looking at him and asking, “Lin Xing, why are you shorter?”
Lin Xing stared in astonishnt at the Puppet Girl: “Master Bai, how…
how did you get into this puppet?”
“Ah?” the Puppet Girl looked down at her current body, frantically feeling it before exclaiming in disbelief, “I…
I just practiced according to the God Attachnt Skill written on that fragnted page, and just like that, I succeeded.”
Watching her hands clench and release repeatedly, the Puppet Girl suddenly burst into laughter: “Who would have thought that one day, I, the ancestor, would finally escape this puppet’s body.”
She swiftly stood up, looked toward the sky above the well, opened her arms and laughed wildly, “From today on, I, Bai Yiyi, am reborn as a human.
I will definitely cultivate an unparalleled martial arts skill.
Later I seek revenge, redress grievances, first unify the Taiching Sect, then sweep through the Martial Arts realm and shake the world…”
She was reveling in her excitent, when suddenly the Puppet Girl cried out in pain and fell forward.
anwhile, the cat toy sat up, rubbing its head in astonishnt, “Why am I back again?
Oh, my head really hurts.”
Lin Xing helped the Puppet Girl and put her back into the coffin, then pondered and said, “According to what’s written in these fragnts of the Heavenly Book, could it be that your thoughts, Master Bai, are too weak to control this puppet for an extended period?”
“, a peerless Martial Artist, and the pride of the Taiching Sect, how could my thoughts be too weak?” Bai Yiyi refused to believe it and imdiately attempted the God Attachnt Skill again, transferring her consciousness into the Puppet Girl.
Once again, the Puppet Girl leaped up, then sat down quickly.
Bai Yiyi insisted stubbornly, “It must be because I’ve spent too much ti in this doll’s body, and my thoughts have been worn down.
If I train more, I will definitely adapt to this new body.”
Bai Yiyi tried repeatedly, only to find that sending thoughts into the Puppet Girl’s body still didn’t suffice.
However, after repeatedly studying the fragnted pages and the notes, Bai Yiyi finally found a compromise.
That was to keep her thoughts in the doll’s body, commanding the Puppet Girl using the thod of heart-to-heart communication.
But she could only issue so simple commands and perform coarse movents this way.
To perform complex, fine operations like martial arts still required her full effort in the Puppet Girl.
Even so, Bai Yiyi was thrilled, for she now had a usable human body.
The Puppet Girl, holding the cat toy, said to Lin Xing, “For now, let’s keep it like this, I’ll practice more and surely be able to stay longer in the Puppet Girl’s body.”
