Exploring Immortality Cultivation

Wang Qi had been acting a bit strange lately.

Alone, with only the distant support of the defective Immortal, Senior Sister Mi, the half-crippled Mahayana Cultivator Zhen Chan, and Little Dragon, the half-baked Transformation from the Dragon Clan, he managed to solo the most elite group of the Demon Clan in the four seas. It makes no sense to say that the Immortal Alliance is just slightly stronger than the Demon Clan!

With just about ten Void Refining Cultivators and three to five individuals at the Carefree Stage who have learned the Heart Demon Curse and the Divine Plague Curse Technique, exterminating the Sea Clan shouldn't be too difficult.

Previously, he believed the Immortal Alliance wanted to preserve a portion of Demon Clan under the concept of "born in suffering and die in comfort" [Of course, Wang Qi personally did not agree with this statement. Look at the many marginal countries on Earth, suffering for hundreds of years without even the slightest hope for a bear(car brand)].

But now, he finally understood.

What the Immortal Alliance was wary of, was never those demons from the sea.

They were concerned about the starry sky.

The Undying Beasts and Demon Gods that lay dormant within this Sun System, when combined, might even be more serious than Shenzhou Hou Tu. In the face of such terrifying power, caution was unavoidable.

Who knew what those Giant Demons were thinking? Who knew if they left of their own volition or were sealed away? Who knew if they could break the seal? If the Human Clan completely overshadowed the Sea Demons, would they break out of their seal and reappear in Shenzhou?

This was also why the Xuanxing Temple had to be extremely cautious and keep themselves hidden. In this era, the capabilities of an observatory were unimaginable. Xuanxing Temple basically tried every observational method researched in Modern times: visible light, infrared, ultraviolet, cathode rays, and other electromagnetic waves, along with Gravity Waves, various inherent Spirit Waves… and their power was frightening. An optical telescope with a hundred-meter radius on Earth was already an engineering marvel. Yet here, intangible optical Arrays spanning tens of miles were no problem. Under such conditions, it would be strange if they couldn't detect those demons.

No wonder there wasn't a single open observatory visible!

No, it was more than that. It seemed that high-powered astronomical devices were all regulated items!

If this information got out, perhaps thousands of years of Human Dao Order, the atmosphere of Immortal Dao cultivated by Modern methods over thousands of years could collapse!

The expression of Little Dragon was still somewhat horrified, "How did you find out?"

"Do you know the advantages of Standard Magical Artifacts, Daoist Fellow Yue Luo? Once enough are refined, the average cost will keep decreasing. And this production process is also the evolutionary process of the artifact," Feng Luoyi said, "In this Sun System, there are things that aren't just from your ancient tribes."

"What?"

Feng Luoyi then took out a set of diagrams: "This object is called an Artificial Heavenly Body, a special kind of Standard Magical Artifact. So far, our Immortal Alliance has launched... three hundred thousand, covering almost every corner of this Sun System."

"The Demon Clan sleeps, but there are Laws to conceal them. Normally they are invisible..."

"Tsk." Wang Qi couldn't help but laugh out loud at this. If you don't have enough understanding of something, or don't even know it exists, how are you supposed to guard against it?

An ancient soldier would be wary of swords and chariots, but would he know to guard against a bombing?

The same concept.

In terms of "strength," Modern tools indeed fall far short of these ancient Great Demons. However, the Human Clan's only advantage is Spirit Wisdom. Because of this Spirit Wisdom, they chose the path of cooperation and division of labor, which has led them to discover the path to truth. On the path of "Dao," they have embarked on a completely different journey and have also reached a significant height.

It was simply too easy to discover these demons.

Yue Luo Liu Li bit her lip and said, "Since you've already found out, then there's no need for further words. Let me use the Dragon Dao. That awakened Parasitic Beast is not something you can imagine."

"Sure, I know. Hundreds of years ago, many of us joined forces and barely managed to kill an Immortal. Half of us were seriously injured and it took us years to recover. And that Immortal's soul was hidden among our clan," Feng Luoyi said, "My impression of Immortals is quite significant, there's no need to tell me."

"Then you should know how terrifying an awakened Parasitic Beast, an Undying Beast, really is?" Yue Luo Liu Li said, "This is for your own good, too. The Tianhe Dragon Army has hunted Parasitic Beasts countless times and they are definitely stronger than you."

Feng Luoyi pointed to the spirit pistol in Wang Qi's hand, "We have our experiences too."

"Amateurs," Little Dragon snorted disdainfully, "Just like before, I only trusted that this kid was not a Parasitic Beast, still unsure if he was serving the Undying Beasts, so I released some information... I just didn't expect that you knew quite a lot."

Elder Feng's eyes lit up, "Is there a way to confirm this?"

"There is." Yue Luo Liu Li first nodded, then shook her head, "Anyway, this is for your benefit. The Human Clan has come so far not without difficulty, and we don't wish to make room for you in the Yinghuo and Taisui, or to add another planet outside the Demon Prison."

Feng Luoyi laughed, "Are you threatening me?"

"That's a fact," Little Dragon said calmly. "Even an Undying Beast wouldn't be stronger than the Holy Emperor. Moreover, the main body of our Dragon Clan is no longer in Shenzhou. The Holy Dragon Abyss is merely the Holy Emperor's dwelling and the hatching ground for our newborns—this is only because the Holy Emperor insists on it. He says we shouldn't forget the seas of our homeland. But in reality, with the power of our Dragon Clan, hatching inside the Sui Star would be just as feasible. For us, the downfall of Shenzhou is simply the loss of a batch of eggs. For you, however, the situation is quite different."

Losing eggs to the Dragon Clan is at most equivalent to the Human Clan experiencing a miscarriage, the kind where there's no harm to the body and one can get back on their feet and combat the same day. With the Dragon Clan's ability to Transformation in myriad ways, reproducing a pile more would not be a difficult task.

Feng Luoyi said, "Perhaps we could consider a different approach to this conversation…"

Yue Luo Liu Li, who had already adopted a rogue's countenance by this point, said, "Feel free. After all, I'm not in a hurry. The Holy Emperor is merely temporarily trapped, and he doesn't take common Undying Beasts seriously. The ones who should be worried are you."

Feng Luoyi shook his head, "Perhaps you have underestimated the speed of our Human Clan. Maybe I should demonstrate our strength."

Just then, a panel popped up in front of Wang Qi, and the voice of Zhen Chan came through, "Ladies and gentlemen, a Demon God is rapidly approaching, less than five miles from this Dao!"

Feng Luoyi replied seriously, "Thank you, Daoist Fellow."

"Mr. Feng, you should think of a solution…"

Feng Luoyi stood up and said to Yue Luo Liu Li, "Daoist Fellow Yue Luo, please join me outside to observe."

"I do want to see what methods your Human Clan has up its sleeve." Yue Luo Liu Li immediately followed, and Wang Qi also exited the cave.

The newcomer was a Green Shark Demon God. He noticed Wang Qi and the humanoid Yue Luo Liu Li from about a mile away from the island. The Demon was first taken aback, then overwhelmed with joy, "Holy Clan's traitor! You really conspired with the Human Clan, take my—what is tha…"

The Green Shark's eyesight wasn't great, but he still spotted the firelight descending from the sky.

Space-based, Heavenly Sword.

The last syllable which the Green Shark Demon God hadn't uttered was vaporized into nothingness by the might of the Heavenly Sword. The powerful force turned the air into plasma and caused a large expanse of the sea to boil explosively. The invisible superheated steam surged in all directions, with a part of it enveloping the island. All the water in the cells of the grass and trees on this tiny island boiled, the trees exploded into splinters, and the blades of grass disintegrated.

As soon as the Fire Meteor appeared, Wang Qi guessed what Teacher Feng, this pyromaniac, wanted to do. He hastily employed the Heavenly Song Defensive Move "Desire to Surpass the Star Sea Light Does Not Pass Through," diverting the powerful magnetic storm, and used Gang Qi to shield against the superheated steam.

Not until the temperature around them dropped and mist filled the air did Wang Qi release his Defensive Move.

"Heavenly Sword, Dark Slaughter. A Heavenly Sword Slash that Cultivators below the Carefree Stage can master without Refining. If cultivated properly, a single slash can exterminate a Mahayana Cultivator, and even injure a newly ascended Heavenly Immortal," Feng Luoyi casually explained. "Therefore, one slash of the Heavenly Sword 'Dark Slaughter' can serve as a standard unit."

"Without a master, the Heavenly Sword possesses only its own strength, and thereafter, it can only recover through cultivation. But in the hands of a Great Grandmaster, 'Dark Slaughter' type Heavenly Sword strikes will each have the force of one slash."

"For Dongfeng, if unmastered, it could present the power of five slashes. If wielded by someone at the Half-step Leisure stage after Nirvana, each strike would possess the strength of seven slashes."

Although the principles behind the Heavenly Sword involve those of a nuclear bomb, its nature differs. It is not a one-time weapon. Furthermore, unlike Earth's nuclear weapons, the Spiritual Power of the Heavenly Sword is controllable. That means its force can be concentrated within a very small area, instead of like a nuclear weapon, where the majority of its power is absorbed by the atmosphere and dispersed over a vast area.

Even with the Sea Demon's formidable physique and those minimal residual forces, Wang Qi estimated that the so-called Heavenly Sword Slash equates to condensing the power of over five million tons and below fifteen million tons of TNT equivalent into a single line!

"Additionally, these few slashes of the Heavenly Sword are not the limit of our Immortal Alliance. One must understand that the real secrets are not revealed so casually," Feng Luoyi said with a smile. "And more powerful Heavenly Swords are similarly deployed throughout this Sun System."

Yue Luo Liu Li angrily retorted, "Is this a threat?"

"Not a threat. I just want to inform Daoist Fellow Yue Luo that we, the Human Clan, are no longer a weak race that needs the support of the Dragon Clan," Feng Luoyi held out her hand, and countless images surrounded both Wang Qi and Yue Luo Liu Li. With a sweep of his Spiritual Sense, Wang Qi discovered that these images…

Damn. They. Were. All. Sword. Boxes!

Tens of thousands of Sword Boxes!

"These all belong to unclaimed Heavenly Swords," Feng Luoyi said. "To be honest, you ancient races are far too terrifying, so we have to keep some methods for self-protection. As for my personal preference, I hope these Heavenly Swords never have to be unsheathed."

Yue Luo Liu Li gritted her teeth, "How is that possible… If, as you say, these 'Dark Slaughter' standard weapons are just low-level Heavenly Swords, then you should have stopped fearing Immortals centuries ago! And how could you possibly refine so many…"

"I told you, the advantage of Standard Magical Artifacts lies right here. The more you refine, the lower the relative cost of each one becomes," Feng Luoyi said with a smile. "Please don't underestimate the 'speed' of the Human Clan."

The speed of Big Industry production, and the explosive speed of Technology. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read at m.qidian.com.)
