NOVEL NEXT Chapter 426: The Heavenly Net Group's Overture
Right now, Hui Zhi feels quite good.
This is her second time in this Forbidden Land. The last time she led a group here, it was quite a shock and also a great opportunity for her.
By slaying nine Dark Sect members, Hui Zhi received praise from her Upper Leader, not only gaining a chance to cultivate for three years in the 'Yunze Tower', but also receiving two Immortal Pills that can revive flesh from bones, along with a Spiritual Treasure Longsword.
Therefore, Hui Zhi voluntarily requested to come here again, using the pretext that she had been here before, and had the Upper Leader arrange for her return.
There was nothing else, just a simple desire to earn more accomplishments.
The long-distance transmission lasted for nearly half an hour.
Even though Hui Zhi is a 'great cultivator' of the Unification Realm, she somewhat couldn't bear the sustained feeling of Primordial Spirit distortion, and now feels a bit nauseous, wanting to vomit.
Nevertheless, Hui Zhi maintained the demeanor befitting a Leader.
She stood on top of a skyscraper, surveyed the surroundings, released her aura, and then called on her three companions and two other teams of fellow cultivators to meditate and rest together.
Hui Zhi transmitted her voice:
"Everyone can enjoy the wonders here.
"The extent to which they have advanced their Mechanical Skill is indeed rare.
"We rarely set foot in this Forbidden Land; perhaps the scenery here can provide us with more insights."
The other members of the Heavenly Net Group nodded in agreement, while the two team leaders exchanged pleasantries with Hui Zhi.
Hui Zhi naturally knew that the strength of these two leaders was above hers, so her attitude was exceptionally respectful.
This is how cultivation works.
If your fist is large, you naturally become the Daoist;
If your cultivation is weak, you must keep a low profile.
Don't be fooled by their appearances as middle-aged men and women — this is just necessary disguise; in reality, most are elderly Daoists or old women.
Hui Zhi is actually relatively young. She joined Tianluo due to her own reasons.
Buzz—
A faint buzzing echoed from all directions of the skyscraper as a flock of Floating Ball drones swarmed upwards.
Suddenly, everyone was marked with a red dot.
Most of the Heavenly Net Group looked curiously at these machines.
Hui Zhi took the initiative, speaking loudly: "Please report that an old acquaintance has arrived by agreement, and request Wang Zheng to reveal himself for a meeting."
The drones did not respond, but they did not attack directly either.
The scene became somewhat awkward.
Hui Zhi cleared her throat and continued: "The enemy may act ahead; we came first at a significant cost."
Someone nearby reminded: "These seem to be Mechanical Puppets, not living beings, they probably can't deliver messages."
Hui Zhi smiled and nodded, feeling slightly embarrassed, and prepared to use the Thousand-Mile Transmission technique.
Suddenly, a gentle laugh was heard.
A clear sound of wind chimes rang nearby, a comet streaked across the Sky Dome, descending directly here, transforming into a captivating figure.
Hui Zhi instinctively glanced at the people around, her gaze seemed to say:
'See, this is a cultivation method derived from the Outer Golden Core.'
However, Hui Zhi clearly sensed that among the seven or eight male cultivators present, the gaze upon this figure not only held surprise but also a kind of admiration towards the opposite sex.
Indeed, it was so.
The newcomer had deep blue long hair, casually draped and slightly curled, meant to create a charming look, but paired with her delicate and unique oval face, offered a sense of sacred purity.
Hui Zhi inwardly sighed, truly a rare woman;
Even in her original cultivation Xu Realm, she probably would be admired by cultivators, perhaps even bringing misfortune due to her beauty.
The newcomer was believed to be named Amina; Hui Zhi had met her before and was deeply impressed.
Hui Zhi stepped forward, clasped her hands in greeting, and spoke softly: "Fellow, we meet again."
Worried that the other might not recognize her disguised appearance, Hui Zhi continued:
"Since our last parting, we gathered strong allies and came here to counter the Dark Sect's challenges.
"Where is Wang Zheng now? We have important matters to discuss with him."
Amina gently nodded: "He will come soon; please follow me, let's head further from the city to avoid disturbing the civilians."
"Alright."
Amina casually opened subspace, revealing two self-floating Moonships, each with two High-level Mechanical Bodies dressed in maid outfits.
Hui Zhi turned to her group as if to say, and the party boarded the Moonships, flying to the outskirts.
Amina stood at the ship's bow, initially not intending to converse with the Heavenly Net Group but unable to refuse when some showed interest in her Spiritual Energy, they came forward to inquire.
Recalling Wang Jixuan's advice, Amina didn't deny them and responded briefly.
For example:
"Fellow, your Spiritual Power within solidifies but doesn't resemble Mana, truly amazing... Can you perform magic?"
"Magic? We need fixed Spiritual Energy Circuits to perform magic."
"Spiritual Energy Circuit? Can you demonstrate it for us?"
"Hmm... like this?"
"Marvelous, indeed! To nurture an Outer Elixir within as an Artifact, greatly extends life expectancy, though the path of cultivation ends, one's own battle strength rivals the Divinity Transformation Realm, might even contend with Unification Realm cultivators like us, such a wondrous method, truly a master of Artifact Refining!"
"May I ask, Fellow, how many Spiritual Energy Circuits have you mastered? Thirty, perhaps?"
"Oh, I have less than a thousand."
The Moonship fell into an unspeakable silence.
