Chapter 252: Chapter 184 Puppet Map_3

"Foolish." Lao Yun remarked sarcastically.

Zhou Xuan placed the Bone Teeth two meters away again. This time, no matter how he beckoned, the Bone Teeth wouldn’t fly back to his hand.

"The distance is too far."

Lao Yun explained, "For all Tangkou that use tools as weapons, the incense fire techniques are similar. The technique at the level of the fourth incense is called the Divine Weapon Return Hand. For storytellers like you, as the level advances, you can also make gavels return to your hand. It’s the same principle.

But the return hand has a distance limit. As your incense fire level increases, the return distance extends.

At the fourth incense level, the return distance is within ten meters, at the fifth incense level, it’s fifteen meters, and it increases accordingly after that.

However, your fourth incense is fake. While the technique works, the return distance is significantly weakened. I estimate it to be around one meter."

"One meter is fine."

Zhou Xuan wasn’t disheartened.

At the level of two incense, being able to make the Bone Teeth return to hand was already quite an achievement, even if the distance was short.

Feeling pleased, he walked one meter toward the direction of the Bone Teeth and beckoned with his hand.

The Bone Teeth returned to his hand.

He then resumed tattooing.

"What tattoo are you working on?" Yun Ziliang asked.

"The Heavenly God Map."

"Another of your own creations?"

"Of course."

This time, Zhou Xuan spoke with confidence. Indeed, this "Heavenly God Map" was a creation of his.

"I’ll have a look at its effectiveness later." Yun Ziliang closed his eyes again to listen to music.

Before starting the tattoo, Zhou Xuan carefully examined his right hand to ensure every detail would be accurate.

Tattooing the Divine Image relies on inscribing the form of the God onto human skin.

Each tattoo has its unique needle movement technique.

Yesterday, after sensing the aura of "Tian Jun" and "Zhu You," Zhou Xuan began to understand how these needle movements were derived.

"It’s the direction of the aura flow when the God appears."

For example, when Tian Jun appears, the surrounding environment first morphs into a spirit realm. Therefore, when tattooing the White Tiger Head, the outline of the pattern must be carved first, and it cannot be solid. The lines must have a certain lightness to convey the feeling of the spirit realm.

Next comes the summoning sound of the Soul Shepherd City in the spirit realm. Corresponding to the White Tiger Head tattoo, the tiger’s mouth must be tattooed...

Having identified the pattern,

Zhou Xuan could now tattoo the Sukuna Hand.

The Sukuna Hand first exudes a faint blue glow, followed by the fingers gaining immense strength, and then the palm surges with the Heavenly God Aura...

Following the tattoo process, one must first outline the figure to make it ethereal and then carve out the powerful fingers...

After perfecting the needle movement method in his mind, Zhou Xuan began to meditate on the "Sukuna Hand."

Of course,

this approach was merely Zhou Xuan’s hypothesis and self-constructed plan. It did not succeed on his first attempt.

The Sukuna Hand burned the human skin as soon as five fingers were tattooed.

"The method’s wrong?"

Yun Ziliang asked from the side.

"Adjust it."

Zhou Xuan adjusted the intensity of the needle on the fingers to make it more solid. With a single stroke of the Bone Teeth, it nearly pierced through the human skin.

This time, the fingers were completed without the skin burning, but once the tattoo reached the palm, the skin ignited again.

"Adjust it."

Zhou Xuan was immersed in the world of tattooing, unable to extricate himself.

From morning to noon, and from noon to afternoon, even missing Little Fuzi’s call for lunch, he tattooed all the way until 3 p.m...

"Has the young master lost his mind?" Little Fuzi asked Yun Ziliang.

"You wouldn’t understand. Without madness, there can be no survival. Those who achieve the Great Dao are all obstinate people. How many pieces of human skin has he burned through now?" Yun Ziliang asked.

"Fourteen pieces," Lv Mingkun answered.

"Fourteen failed attempts. It seems hopeless—what?"

Yun Ziliang was beginning to doubt Zhou Xuan, but suddenly, a surge of imposing energy struck like an invisible wave, rushing toward his face.

Instinctively, he crouched down, noticing that Lv Mingkun had done the same.

"You felt it too?" Yun Ziliang asked Lv Mingkun.

Lv Mingkun didn’t respond but pointed at Zhou Xuan instead.

Yun Ziliang looked over and saw Zhou Xuan standing at the shop entrance, his figure seeming larger than life, his eyes wild with the ferocity of conquest.

"Go!"

Zhou Xuan flicked his hand, and the Bone Teeth shot forth like a bolt of lightning, leaving a streak of white light in the air before embedding itself firmly in the wall of the corridor.

"Return!"

With a light crook of his little finger, Zhou Xuan caused the Bone Teeth, which was seven or eight meters away, to violently detach from the wall and fly back into his hand.

"This aura—it’s definitely at the level of the fourth incense."

Yun Ziliang remarked.

"I felt it too," Lv Mingkun added. "Little Junior Brother’s Heavenly God Map truly succeeded."

Zhou Xuan stood at the door again, lowering his head to look at the pocket watch in his hand.

The watch ticked softly as he stood frozen in place.

After nine minutes, Zhou Xuan closed the watch’s lid and slipped it back into his pocket.

"Barely ten minutes."

His gaze returned to normal as he grinned brightly at Yun Ziliang and Lv Mingkun. "It worked! It worked! The Heavenly God Map tattoo triggered divination and boosted my incense fire to the fourth incense level. Unfortunately, the duration is a little short."

"Xiao Zhou, you’re actually complaining?" Yun Ziliang stomped his foot in exasperation. "Advancing from two incense to four incense—ordinary people would need at least ten years to accumulate incense fire! Yet you managed it with a single tattoo map, and you’re still dissatisfied? You’re insufferable!"

"Little Junior Brother, next time, make me a Divine Image too—I want to improve as well."

Having witnessed the empowering effect of the tattoo map firsthand, Lv Mingkun couldn’t help but feel tempted.

"You won’t get the chance in this lifetime." Yun Ziliang waved dismissively at Lv Mingkun.

Fifth Senior Brother protested, "Lao Yun, what do you mean by that? Just because I poke fun at you all the time, you’re cursing me now?"

"Lao Wu, don’t you see it yet? All of Xiao Zhou’s tattoos feature figures from the Heavenly Dome."

Yun Ziliang began counting fingers as he explained to Lv Mingkun, "Look, since Xiao Zhou started creating soul maps, there are six tattoos in total: the Nianhua Buddha, Heavenly Official, Tian Jun, Zhu You, the Queen, and that Wordless Heavenly Scripture, which features the No-words Heavenly Master from the Heavenly Eye Temple. All six are God-level beings from the Heavenly Dome."
