A shocking thought popped into Gongshu Wumao's mind. If that's really the case... then this boy's talent in the Artificer Path might be no less than Mo Wuwei's!

Gongshu Wumao's heart skipped a beat. Could this young man before me be the greatest prize of this trip to the Divination Sect?

He took a deep breath, his eyes shining with a sharp glow. With a flick of his finger, mana shot out, softly wrapping around a Puppet Bird and drawing it into his palm.

As he began to observe it closely, he was instantly stunned.

"This structure is..."

Gongshu Wumao's eyes shone with an intense light. He clutched the Puppet Bird tightly, as if he had found a priceless treasure.

Seeing her master's expression, Mo Wuwei grew curious. After getting Wang Xiu's consent, she also took a Puppet Bird to examine.

A moment later, the same astonished expression appeared on her face. "Why is it so simple?" she exclaimed. "Master, what is this internal structure called? Why have I never seen it before?"

Gongshu Wumao's breathing grew ragged. "It's not just you; I've never seen it either! Never before... such an exquisitely ingenious design. This can only be described as a truly grand concept... Only an unparalleled genius could come up with it!"

Previously, the Manipulation Sect disciple, Lin Yue, had also marveled at the simplicity of the Puppet Bird's design. But his experience was leagues below Gongshu Wumao's. He only understood that such a simple design required extremely advanced techniques from an Artificer, but he had no idea just how advanced they needed to be.

Turning the complex into the simple, achieving mastery that appears effortless—these principles, no matter which path one follows, represent an unimaginably high level of attainment. Every outstanding figure, regardless of their field, ultimately strives for this.

Although Gongshu Wumao had never seen the design within the Puppet Bird before, he could immediately perceive its ingenuity. The design's three mere components were entirely new, things never before seen in this era. Yet they maximized the inherent energy of the materials and, through their interaction, amplified their individual performance five, even ten times over.

This was nothing short of a miracle!

According to contemporary Artificer theory, this was simply impossible. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Gongshu Wumao would never have believed it was possible, no matter what anyone claimed.

In fact, even if the components had been dismantled and laid out before him prior to seeing the finished product, he could never have conceived of such a mind-boggling design philosophy.

The mind of whoever created this... it must be wired completely differently from everyone else's, right?

At the same time, however, an unprecedented wave of joy surged through his heart. This design had opened the door to a new world for him.

So puppets can be made this way? This approach can actually work?

"If that's the case... the Chiyu Crossbow Beast's power system can be constructed in a completely new way, the core Formation component of the Purple Crest Stream Horse can adopt a more load-efficient solution...

"No. 74 Wind Thunder Dog's Spirit Resistance Mode can be completely overturned...

"And the Back-Carried Spirit Energy Cannon of the Mysterious Iron Crystal Beast, previously just a concept, can now be realized..."

In an instant, Gongshu Wumao's mind was flooded with possibilities. He trembled with excitement, crying and laughing as he muttered a stream of technical jargon that no outsider could possibly understand. He looked like a madman.

Even Mo Wuwei was completely bewildered. At this moment, she couldn't follow her master's train of thought at all and was left utterly confounded.

Only Wang Xiu, listening to Gongshu Wumao's ramblings, stroked his chin, deep in thought.

The next moment, Gongshu Wumao suddenly dashed out, heading straight for the dozen or so processing furnaces in the Netherworld Forest.

Then, with a thud, he fell to his knees
