Chapter 1528: Chapter 1082: The Grand Project

Huh? Dreamweavers can leave the Dream Realm and act independently?

Jiang Yuan’s Nightmare Technique level is too low to create dreams, so he’s quite curious.

"Of course!" Yan Zheng responded with a smile: "After all, I am a Dreamweaver of the Soul Emergence Realm, and having personally crafted this Dream City so perfectly, all it needs is a little boost from the Nightmare Technique every one or two months to continue smoothly.

If needed, I can even create and control three giant dreams simultaneously. But they must have a physical base and enough power to sustain them."

Upon hearing this, Yun Shu sincerely admired and exclaimed: "The Nightmare Technique is truly powerful!

I always thought that creating dreams meant you had to be within them. I was previously puzzled, imagining the risk if a Divine Soul entered the dream to weave it and the body got attacked; wouldn’t that be dangerous? Turns out there’s no need to stay for long."

Yun Ying volunteered: "If Mr. Jiang arranges it, I can replace your puppet. Although the one I refined is ordinary, I am a genuine Puppet Master."

Her words left no gaps because as a Puppet Master, she can naturally assist in transferring a soul to a new body, but only with Mr. Jiang’s consent. If he’s truly useful, she could even follow his orders to custom-make a new puppet for him.

"Miss Yun Ying is actually a Puppet Master?" Yan Zheng was quite shocked but quickly realized that she must have had body-related issues, with her soul surviving by entering a puppet body.

No wonder she seeks clues about the Puppet’s Heart; even if she only finds defective pieces, she can dismantle them for research, possibly leading to a restoration and refinishing. Then she could become a Puppet Cultivator, continue her cultivation journey, and perhaps even achieve Mechanized Ascension!

Thinking of these possibilities, Yan Zheng suddenly became somewhat excited.

Mr. Jiang seems like a good-natured young man, generous and with a good temperament. If he shows genuine character through further understanding, would committing to work under him mean obtaining a new body with a Puppet’s Heart?

"Indeed, but I am not from a Major Sect, and my cultivation technique is quite ordinary, just a modest Puppet Master." Yun Ying glanced at Jiang Yuan and smiled: "Fortunately, I met Mr. Jiang, who generously helped me, not minding my shortcomings and taking me in. Other tasks might not be within my ability, but replacing a body isn’t a big issue."

These few words sparked hope in Yan Zheng’s heart.

Besides her, there are souls of many cultivators within the city. They are all kind-hearted individuals, deceived into such a plight, and if they could obtain a complete puppet body, they might manifest some power.

The unknown path is slow to progress, but at least there’s a glimmer of hope now.

"I still need to trouble the three of you to carefully distinguish and pick out the puppets that belong to the city residents, marked with an additional layer of nightmare power to appear deep purple. Please make sure not to place our bodies too far apart, ideally stack them together closely," Yan Zheng instructed, explaining many details before pushing open the bamboo tower door. Outside, a thick purple mist shrouded the surroundings.

"No need to worry, just keep moving forward. We’ll split into two groups. I’ll find an excuse to inquire about the Puppet’s Heart."

Jiang Yuan took two Puppet Beauties along, walking into the dense fog for about a dozen steps.

As the fog cleared, they discovered they were sitting atop an endless "mountain" formed by discarded puppets.

"Oh my! There’s so many of them!"

"Exactly like Qing Niao’s memory! But seeing it up close, all these humanoid-like puppets truly look a bit terrifying."

Jiang Yuan had already witnessed this astounding scene before, and the thought of finding his way through tens of thousands of discarded puppets made him almost want to summon all his avatars.

The task seemed enormous!

"Hang on, I’ll call Qing Niao and the others to join us in the search." He considered it and decided that each avatar has its own role, so why not have a team-building session in a little courtyard, "The first Major Sect of the Little World, accumulating ’junk’ for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, will obviously have a substantial quantity.

The benefit is: even if they’re discards, a lot of them will have precious refining materials that can be recycled; the drawback is: trying to find something related to the Puppet’s Heart among so much scrap is like searching for a needle in a haystack."

As a Puppet Master, Yun Ying had never dared to dream of such a grand scene—the sight itself was full of broken limbs and half-bodies, with piles of puppet parts accumulating like mountains everywhere!

Just picking up scraps here, she could forge a puppet army for Mr. Jiang!

"No wonder they’re as rich as a nation being the first Major Sect; it’s unbelievable how wealthy they are!" Despite her shock, Yun Ying was limited by her mechanical body and couldn’t show a strong reaction, so she cursed and shouted excitedly: "Can you believe it? These casually discarded parts are all top-notch refining materials! When I crafted my own body, I couldn’t bear to use such high-quality materials!"

Pausing for a moment, she felt her expression was wrong and quickly explained: "Not ’couldn’t bear,’ it’s that I simply couldn’t afford to buy them! They casually throw them away; it’s a complete waste!"

No wonder City Lord Yan said her Puppet Master was able to seal souls using a discarded item.

At the time, I didn’t believe it; could something that seals souls be an ordinary thing? And they said they didn’t want to be accused of murder, leaving souls sealed within... Now I believe it; these precious materials are rich with spiritual energy, and with a little refining, they can seal souls."

Yun Shu spotted two discarded puppets wrapped in purple light, stepping over countless human faces and broken limbs to pull them out and examine them, loudly calling: "Yun Ying, come quickly! Can you find suitable parts from these puppets to craft yourself a better new body?"
