In the heart of the volcano, the remnants left behind by the sages yearned for their successors.

Risking her life, his mother obtained the Immortal Palace Seal, handing it to Ning Zhuo before her passing.

“The Buddha Heart Demon Seal!”

To transcend into either Buddha or the Demon.

With this seal grasped firmly, he could inscribe a heart seal and command the creation of puppets.

While ordinary individuals struggled under the weight of just controlling a few, the burden was exceptionally light for, Ning Zhuo, who effortlessly commanded tens of thousands with a single gesture.

“Mother, I will fulfill your wishes and obtain the Immortal Palace!” He vowed.

Indeed.

Immortal Puppets; capable of spiritual secrets; their work skillful and rational.

A new realm is opened up, and things are in sync with the heavens.

The ancient bell echoes the laws. The moon dances under the clear light.

Embodied with myriad strengths, who in this world dares oppose?

***

In the heart of a volcano lies a mystical Mechanized Palace, a relic left behind by ancient sages, patiently awaiting its successor. In a desperate bid for its treasure, a mother sacrificed her life to claim the palace’s sacred seal, entrusting it to her son, Ning Zhuo, in her final moments.

This is no ordinary artifact; it is the Buddha-Heart Devil Seal.

It holds a profound truth: to enlighten oneself is to become a Buddha, yet to guide others may turn one into a devil. By wielding this seal, one can etch spiritual marks and command intricate mechanisms with ease, bearing only the lightest burden. While others strain under the immense mental weight of controlling even a few of such devices, Ning Zhuo effortlessly commands thousands with a single thought.

“Mother, I will honor your wish,” vowed Ning Zhuo. “I will claim the Mechanized Palace!”

Thus begins his journey:

A tale of spiritual bonds and ingenious marvels,
Where craftsmanship reveals cosmic truths,
And innovation opens realms of possibility.

An ancient bell resonates with eternal laws,
Its chime dancing under the moon’s serene glow.
With a form embodying infinite potential,
Who on earth could stand as his equal? Collapse

      The webnovel translation for that novel is only slightly better than MTL.

        Ranobes' ratings have been the most reliable rating for me so far along with boxnovel's. If you know sites with a better rating besides these two not counting Royal Road, plz share

          yea, me too. most other site overhype even the trashiest novel becuase "author worked so hard, if you don't like it go write your own" logic.

          LNP probably
          Any site that allows people to just one star without leaving reviews is unreliable.
          At least, LNP allows people to explain why it sucks. Here people just pop a one star without any reasoning

            Yup that site and I dont agree with it rules. Most of the times people don't feel like writing 100 words essay to explain the reason for their rating, worse it needs to be individually apporoved by the admin.

        Idk, most top 4.5+ novels here are extremely good.
        Tho, it doesn't mean that most good novels here are 4.5+. You're kinda right about novel being able to get no recognition due to being unlucky. Even then for the most part, rating here can be trusted

    Old rules, folks: so that everyone can enjoy it, please spoiler tag your answers, and if people have a hard time, I'll give you some tips to help.

    The riddle is as follows:

    What is it, what is it, I'm a mythological being, but I'm so famous that even a statue of me was made and still exists today, a master at deceiving even the wisest, but I was defeated by a man who committed incest. What am I?

            I never read this work, but as you asked for a recommendation. I recommend this novel here: "净土边缘".

            It's only in Chinese, I think, but on the 69shu website you can read it without too many problems. The general premise is simple, humans desecrated the tombs of the gods and because of this a great catastrophe befell them, but with every misfortune came good luck. It's a novel with a cosmic horror feel, a little similar to Lotm.

            The MC is not someone bad, he is more like a good neutral, if he can help, he will help, but if it is beyond his capabilities, he will not do it. It's quite smart, although it doesn't use it much, unfortunately.

            I would say a C+ with the potential for a B+, from what I've read.

    Open letter to all demonic cultivators who gave this masterpiece 4 or 3 star:

    I will hunt you down. I will scour every cities in the world for you. Search every planet in the cosmos if I have to. I will trick you and deceive you, lie, cheat and steal to find you, tempt you out of your hiding place, and chase you until you have nowhere else to go. Remember, you can run but you can't hide.

      Translator shouldn't try to improve the title; they should focus on providing a fair and accurate translation. This way, the author's intent remains intact.

      "仙工开物" literally means "Immortal Puppet Master." There are other possible variations, but this is the most accurate one given the context.

        Wouldn't "Mysteries of the Immortal Puppet Master" be better? The current title seems stiff and wrong.
        Also, the original title of "Reverend Insanity" was "Daoist Gu" The translator changed it.

    It's like TLM but with a xianxia twist, meaning the protagonist is a mechanic who creates gadgets (artifacts/talismans) and robots (marionettes) and uses them in combat. From my perspective, Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master succeeds where TLM fails. Here, as a reader, you feel much more involved in the creation of the robots and gadgets. You understand how they were made and the logic behind them. Perhaps this might deter some readers, as many people are lazy to read chapters full of descriptions and fictional theories. This is a 5/5 for TLM orphans and for anyone who enjoys the mechanic/inventor trope. You can go ahead without fear.
