Chapter 419: Welcome to Guanghan Province (Part 2)
"Because the architectural style is very similar to our Cultivation World, so I remember it very clearly...
"Now that I think about it, it might be related to the Forbidden Land."
Wang Jixuan responded: "Alright, I'll find an opportunity to go and take a look later."
The Three Realms Wanderer continued:
"The Forbidden Land, from this name, one could infer that it might mean the prohibition of cultivation.
"Why forbid cultivation? Wouldn't you need to have cultivation first before you can prohibit it?
"And considering that the Yina Civilization originally wanted to expand externally but was blocked by Advanced Civilizations, this might also be related to the Forbidden Land.
"This information is crucial.
"That Tianluo and Dark Sect, you need to find a way to infiltrate them; it's our only chance to uncover the truth."
"Already infiltrating," Wang Jixuan laughed, "I'm not stupid."
The Three Realms Wanderer sighed: "Even if discovering the truth renders resistance futile, let's at least be a ghost who understands, unlike me, who struggled for six thousand years and ended up dying without understanding what went wrong."
"Alright, then go peacefully."
"I'm just asleep," the Three Realms Wanderer hmph-ed, "If your third life ends as well, I'll strive for a fourth."
Wang Jixuan shook his head.
He wouldn't give the Three Realms Wanderer another chance to kill and collect souls.
The sound of water in the bathing room stopped, Wang Jixuan casually tucked the Stone of the Past into his Storage Magical Treasure.
He still had some time, so he decided to first focus on accompanying Lingtong.
...
"Sigh," Mu Dan sighed softly.
She was with Gao Huating, staying on a battleship near the Moon.
The decoration inside the battleship was simple and clear, with silver-gray toned metal objects everywhere, and all those moving around were Advanced Mechanical Bodies.
The screen in front of Mu Dan and Gao Huating was displaying Wang Jixuan and Lingtong's vehicle.
Gao Huating was enjoying the delicious food prepared by the chef on the ship, smiling and asking:
"Is the Queen missing the teacher?"
"Mm-hmm," Mu Dan replied weakly, and clicked her tongue softly, "Don't you miss him?"
"Uh," Gao Huating's pretty face turned slightly red, but she quickly calmed down.
Although her appearance hadn't changed, her cultivation had reached Golden Core, and she was eyeing Nascent Soul. She was naturally unbothered by such teasing.
"I only have respect for the teacher, yes, the kind of respect a student has for a teacher."
"Wow, would you call Mr. Wang uncle then?"
"What?" Gao Huating was momentarily caught off guard.
"It's from an Earth Golden Age TV series, where the apprentice calls the master 'Aunt,' and ends up marrying his own 'Aunt,' tsk tsk tsk."
Gao Huating rolled her eyes slightly, lowered her head, and continued eating, ignoring the other person.
Mu Dan continued lying on the table, watching the images on the big screen.
Gao Huating asked: "Did you complete the tasks the teacher assigned?"
"Finished," Mu Dan smacked her lips, "Wasn't it just about getting a batch of high-level robots, a batch of the most powerful combat robots, and then assembling ten trapped arrays? That was completed in three days."
She proudly declared:
"In front of our Mechanical Civilization, success once means endless success.
"As long as the craft is feasible, mass production can be achieved in half a day.
"And all combat experience is universal, any enemy response is within our calculations... Moreover, most enemy reactions toward our fully automated dynamic formations are inferior to our 'ideal enemy' large model settings."
"Wow, sounds impressive," Gao Huating softly praised.
Mu Dan looked at Gao Huating: "It's you, now you are the Earth Civilization's image ambassador. Always hiding here and not showing your face, aren't you afraid your fans will riot?"
Gao Huating muttered softly:
"I'll have them release a statement later saying I've died due to illness.
"I've been an idol for over eighty years; continuing further would be problematic, right?
"It's explainable with cosmetic technology for eternal youth, and my voice not declining can be attributed to science, but how do I explain my lifespan?
"Previously, there were suspicions of me being an artificial person."
Mu Dan hummed: "Let them suspect, Earth doesn't run on their words."
"I'm tired too; I've had so little time to focus on cultivation all these years."
Gao Huating sighed slightly:
"Of course, if everyone needs me to continue contributing, I would play a supporting role and shine nevertheless.
"Keep a keen eye out; we don't want the enemy to arrive without us knowing."
"Don't worry."
Mu Dan smiled triumphantly:
"I've scattered over six hundred thousand space probes and Spiritual Energy detectors around Earth and Mars, unless the enemy comes out of the Saturn Ring's space anomaly point and then takes time to fly over.
"If that's the case, we'll have more time to prepare."
"Don't underestimate the mechanical army led by this Queen; we can already slay the powerful Pillar Blade Beast... The officer is descending."
Gao Huating also looked up.
The droplet-shaped spaceship slowly moved towards the Moon Base.
"Should we move closer?"
"Move closer for what? They're on their honeymoon, they won't need us. We'll enter the near-lunar orbit to keep watch for them."
"Oh, alright."
"Why do I feel like you're a bit disappointed."
"Not at all, I just feel like my past self couldn't help with anything."
Mu Dan let out a chuckle.
She was about to tease Gao Huating a bit, hoping to see her face blush with shy embarrassment, but before she could speak, the alarm beside them suddenly lit up.
Mu Dan leapt over swiftly, moving almost instantaneously, and the magnetic device instantly activated, slowing her down promptly, as she stood before the large screen, swiftly sliding her fingers.
Within a few seconds, she had completed countless data exchanges and checks.
"What's wrong?"
"Space anomaly," Mu Dan replied tersely, "on Earth's surface... the area where the battle occurred before... it's not a space transmission, the space wave frequency is very low, like it's probing."
Gao Huating walked over and stared at the screen for a while.
The data was overwhelming, and many were symbols exclusive to mechanical civilization, she, not being a professional, couldn't really understand it.
"Is it an enemy?"
"Can't be determined, we can't trace back."
Mu Dan said:
"Tianluo Group mentioned before, in areas they've traversed with the Dark Sect members, next time they can teleport, with approximately a three-month interval."
"These three months are set according to Earth's rotation cycle."
"I specifically asked back then."
Gao Huating calculated the time: "Isn't it soon?"
"Focus on monitoring this location, I've already sent a message to the officer, it's good the officer is hiding on the Moon afterward, those people haven't been to the Moon yet."
"Mhm," Gao Huating nodded vigorously.
Now she could finally be of some help!
Like, if she was needed to use her singing to persuade the enemies to be kind, she could give it a try.
...
Weak space fluctuation?
Wang Jixuan calculated the time.
It was exactly halfway through the three-month period.
Which means, three months' time is just enough for those two factions to make a round trip.
This time, how much power will the Dark Sect members deploy? Tianluo Group promised to apply for more people to come and support, but such verbal promises aren't very hopeful.
Should we evacuate the humans around the space fluctuation area?
Wang Jixuan thought for a while, then gave Mu Dan the right to handle the situation.
Mu Dan was now very professional; he, as the officer, seemed a bit redundant.
He watched the ever-changing scenery outside.
Since he was piloting a military spaceship, they landed directly inside the crater for military purposes.
The surface, these crater-pitted areas, were now all covered by layers of light films.
These light films had nothing to do with Spiritual Energy, they were technological products.
The spaceship passed through six light films consecutively, and below, there were field robots holding guiding light pillars, directing the spaceship to the specified location.
From the spaceship broadcast came a synthesized electronic voice:
"Welcome to the Earth United Government's directly governed area, Guanghan Province."
Wang Jixuan raised an eyebrow lightly.
The name was quite poetic.
He looked at the Stone of the Past which again shone with seven-colored rosy clouds, feeling a bit more expectant.
Before the enemy arrives, let's deal with this first.
"Give me half a day," Wang Jixuan turned to Lingtong, "how about we have a lunar exploration?"
"Exploration?"
"It's not some intimate game, it's literally, very straightforward."
Lingtong coolly said, "Don't say such things outside, I also want my face preserved."
"Yes, officer."
"No need to be so formal."
Wang Jixuan:...
Women's minds are like needles at the bottom of the sea, quite hard to fathom.
