Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1416

Chapter 1416: Chapter 732: Wanling Palace

The palace, though small, exuded an ancient and mysterious aura.

"Collect!"

With a light command from Gu Sheng, a peculiar wave of power emanated from the bronze palace, shattering the black threads connecting to the puppets as if struck by lightning.

The old man’s expression changed drastically.

"What?!"

The next moment, Gu Sheng and the six puppets disappeared simultaneously from the spot, leaving behind the furious roar of the red-robed elder echoing within the restriction.

In the Divine Craft Maze Palace, the six puppets stood motionless.

Gu Sheng exhaled deeply and looked around.

It was an ancient stone chamber, with complex and inscrutable runes carved all over the walls, and a bronze throne placed at the center.

Yue Shen Gong’s shadow drifted out from Gu Sheng’s Sea of Consciousness and settled onto the throne.

He carefully examined the puppets, his brows furrowing more and more tightly.

"Just as I suspected..."

Yue Shen Gong’s voice carried anger.

"This is the ’Spirit Puppet Rebirth Array,’ originally created by my wife for automaton puppets to grant action to non-living things. I never expected it to be used on living people!"

Gu Sheng was startled by these words.

"Senior, do you mean this array wasn’t supposed to be used this way?"

"Of course not!"

Yue Shen Gong angrily slapped the armrest of the throne.

"Automaton puppets possess no soul, this array merely simulates the operation of life. But when used on living people, it forcibly extracts their souls, leaving only their bodies as puppets! This is the way of evil!"

Gu Sheng walked over to a puppet, observing carefully.

Faint runes could be seen on the puppet’s skin, its eyes hollow and lifeless, yet it still maintained the muscle memory from when it was alive, executing martial techniques fluidly.

"Senior, is there a way to break this array? To save these people?"

Gu Sheng asked gravely.

Yue Shen Gong was silent for a moment before suddenly extending his hand to the bronze throne.

The entire Divine Craft Maze Palace emitted the sound of mechanisms in motion; the stone chamber began twisting and transforming, the runes on the walls flowing and reorganizing.

"This is..."

Gu Sheng watched the changes around him in surprise.

"One of the true functions of the Divine Craft Maze Palace—’Return All Techniques to the Source.’"

Yue Shen Gong explained.

"It can trace any array or cultivation technique to its original form."

With a light sound, an ancient manuscript flew out from the suddenly appeared bookshelf, landing steadily in front of Gu Sheng. On the cover, ancient characters spelled out ’The Record of Spiritual Mechanism Metamorphoses.’

"This is my wife’s manuscript from back then."

Yue Shen Gong’s voice carried a tone of reminiscence.

"Inside is recorded the original version of the ’Spirit Puppet Rebirth Array’ and... the method to break it."

Gu Sheng’s fingers gently caressed the yellowed pages of the ancient book, his eyes reflecting a sense of reminiscence.

In a past life as the Immortal Emperor, although not specialized in arrays, the knowledge accumulated over countless ages allowed him to dabble in all paths of the heavens.

This puppet array, though intricate, was merely a drop in the ocean.

"I see..."
