Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1124 - 204:

This was not merely manipulation through the entwining of silk threads, but rather a form of driving force under the operation of rule deduction.

Li Zhiyuan recalled the three Stone Gates at the entrance of this secret realm: Puppetry, Beast Mastery, and Array.

These three elements constituted the fundamental rules here.

The ancestor of the Faceless Man was indeed a remarkable existence, able to set up this place, meaning he had at least mastered and integrated these three elements.

This also served as a reminder to Li Zhiyuan that if he wished to continue researching down this path, he couldn't overlook the aspect of "Beast Mastery."

However, could Wei Zhengdao's Black Skin Book Secret Technique potentially replace the "Beast Mastery" aspect?

Yu Cangsheng could become a teacher here relying on the Yu Family's ancestral knowledge; Li Zhiyuan didn't believe Wei Zhengdao's most powerful secret technique would be inferior to the Yu Family's Beast Taming Technique.

Is there a possibility that the Beast Mastery aspect was adopted as a compromise due to the difficulty and scarcity of skills like taming humans and spirits?

Li Zhiyuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Seeing this, the Faceless Man stood up straight, indeed, you still feel distressed and perplexed.

He misunderstood; the young man wasn't lost but was forcing himself to interrupt the learning and thinking process.

This high tower is truly a treasure trove at every corner.

Every detail is imbued with the astonishing thoughts and innovations of the ancestors.

The scholar turned around, preparing to walk down.

Li Zhiyuan, through the bell, could supplement him to a certain extent.

Just like before, during the confrontation between the old Taoist and Yu Cangsheng, the role the Faceless Man took on at the top of the tower.

The dead are ultimately dead, even if they stand up again to fight, their inherent limitations remain significant.

Yu Cangsheng had long noticed this point; he was far from being a match for the old Taoist, but had it not been for the Faceless Man's support at that time, Yu Cangsheng might have had a chance to defeat the old Taoist on his own.

Because the deduction logic of the high tower is somewhat too rigid.

Rigid, like the black-skirted woman who "killed" Yu Miaomiao as soon as she appeared, using only that one move from start to finish.

Probably according to the tower's logic, as long as it's effective, keep using it.

Like that previous teaching game, the current high tower is like my past self, and my current self is like Zhao Yi back then.

Holding the bell is akin to temporarily lending my mind to the high tower for deduction together.

This is not the model Li Zhiyuan desires.

At this time, Xu Zhenrong and Zhen Sha'an at the bottom of the tower, having acquired a classroom environment, significantly boosted their strength, creating a grossly unfair situation.

Li Zhiyuan: "That old Taoist, is he the strongest existence in this tower during his life?"

Faceless Man: "That's right, he should have occupied a floor alone."

After a pause, the Faceless Man continued: "It's not that he's not strong enough; it's that he's already dead, and I can only..."

Li Zhiyuan raised his hand, interrupting the Faceless Man's words.

The old Taoist was already the strongest, yet he still couldn't reverse the situation.

Therefore, even if the scholar descended now, his strength could increase the allies' side but still wouldn't be enough to restore balance to the situation.

Since choosing to act, one must aim to win, not merely prolong the struggle for a bit longer.

Li Zhiyuan gave his orders through the bell.

The scholar's steps paused for a moment, then continued toward the stairs.

When his order conflicted with the rules inside the high tower, the scholar adhered to the behavioral logic provided by the latter.

This won't do.

Li Zhiyuan chased after him, following closely behind the scholar.

The Faceless Man reminded: "Go to the top of the tower, it's easier to oversee the whole situation from there."

Li Zhiyuan: "It's unnecessary to oversee a situation destined to be lost."

The Faceless Man found his words reasonable, but what does it matter?

Seeing the young man following the scholar downstairs, he immediately floated to follow.

Li Zhiyuan knew he didn't have much time; if he couldn't intervene with the scholar before leaving the tower, there would be no chance to do anything afterward.

The young man began forming a Seal, activating the newly learned Nuo Puppetry Technique.

Wisps of black aura rose from the scholar's body, and a faint mask phantom appeared on his face.

But the next moment, accompanied by the shaking that had already been resonating within the tower, an additional slight shiver occurred.

The black fog on the scholar's body dissipated, and the mask on his face collapsed.

This path is impassable.

To control the scholar through the Nuo Puppetry Technique, he would first need to suppress or even break the rules of the tower, which was clearly impossible.

As for approaching from the Array perspective... apart from creating a small hole like before when stealing a book, he couldn't truly disturb the array here.

Out of three methods, two have been nullified.

He doesn't know Beast Taming Technique.

In this situation, Li Zhiyuan had to prematurely use the substitute originally meant for experimentation.

The young man focused his eyes and began Walking Yin, simultaneously operating the Black Book Secret Technique.

In an instant, the environment inside the tower vanished, replaced by a steep cliffside.

The scholar and a woman sat there, seemingly enjoying the view.

Under the sunset, everything was tinged with orange frost, the scenery picturesque.

They, admiring the view, seemed to enter the painting as a pair of gifted scholar and beautiful lady.

After dark, the night sky was filled with stars.

The two of them sat there unmoving.

It was not until late at night that the scholar moved; he lifted the woman.

The woman had several specially textured Jade Pendants hanging on her, emitting a chilling aura.
