Chapter 427: True Feelings Revealed (Part 2)
"Although our Heavenly Net Group is large, the evil demons from various realms have been increasing year by year, and the number of elixirs and treasures distributed by the Immortal Realm each year is fixed, it's really..."
Wang Jixuan murmured, "Is it a fierce internal competition?"
Hui Zhi nodded slowly.
She smiled bitterly, "The guarantee I can offer only involves myself. If you don't believe me, I will make a Heavenly Dao Oath right now. How you decide, I won't insist..."
"Can punishment be waived as long as there is a contribution?"
"It depends on how much the contribution is," someone nearby said, "Fellow, you're dealing with a rather significant cause and effect. This Star Domain isn't just full of wonders; even the ways of using Spiritual Power here, I don't understand them."
Wang Jixuan chuckled awkwardly.
The Daoist stood up and cupped his hands towards everyone.
He said solemnly, "I swear to Heaven, I am by no means an evil demon. I haven't easily transmitted any magic in this realm, just to fight against some evil beings. Tens of thousands of years ago, I created this Secret Technique based on the Outer Golden Core's Core Circuit. I can give this Secret Technique to your Upper Leader."
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Wang Jixuan continued, "But it must be paid in installments."
"Pay, pay in installments?"
"Exactly," Wang Jixuan said with a smile, "You fellows must have some way of contacting that Upper Leader, you can try contacting them."
Hui Zhi asked, "How exactly?"
"The method to create the Core Circuit, I will divide it into four parts: the General Principles, the Upper, Middle, and Lower parts. Taking out the General Principles is to give your Upper Leader some assurance."
Wang Jixuan then said:
"The other three parts, I need to wait until I can gradually establish myself in Tianluo, get an identity in Tianluo, and then hand them over for your Upper Leader.
"Also, please, when conveying the message, say a few good words for me."
Daoist Wang sighed, with a sorrowful expression, lowered his head and cupped his hands, and said slowly:
"I am not arrogant or conceited, it's just that... I have been like a floating duckweed, drifting for thousands of years, enduring hundreds of thousands of years, to finally have a chance of becoming an immortal.
"Yet it was extinguished by an Immortal's finger, the distress and helplessness at heart is indescribable.
"Now I'm just at the Crossing Tribulation stage, perhaps I can establish myself in the Xu Realm, but in this vast world, in front of Immortals, I'm still insignificant. My life is just a single one, all I want is to use this Artifact Refining reliance to barely safeguard my life and protect my Tao Fruit.
"I ask you fellows, seeing that I too hail from a certain Xu Realm, to say a few good words for me, I...would be immensely grateful!
"As for how to ambush the Dark Sect, please discuss it with my disciples, I will do my utmost wholeheartedly.
"With an unsettled Mental State, I'm going to cultivate for a while."
After saying this, Wang Jixuan turned and left.
His words were sincere and genuine, without any falsehood, because it was indeed an outpouring of true emotions.
Among these twelve cultivators, half were somewhat sentimental, thinking of themselves, it was all just to become immortals, for life expectancy, for family and friends, risking their lives across various realms...
Hui Zhi took out a Jade Talisman and began to write silently to the Upper Leader.
An old Daoist beside transmitted, "Do we really have to do as he says? Won't the Upper Leader blame us for being incompetent?"
"Help if you can," Hui Zhi sighed, "Fellow Wang Zheng has had a really hard time. According to the Heavenly Mechanism Record, he has indeed struggled in this realm for 600,000 years, gone through three lifetimes, hardships and strange encounters, incomparable to us."
"Alright then."
Everyone didn't say much, but a few female cultivators stepped forward, jointly signing, as a plea.
Beside them, Wu Man and Zheng Shiduo exchanged a glance, filled with emotion.
The acting skills of his teacher (Wang) are indeed exceptional.
...
"Phew."
Wang Jixuan hid inside a camper van, set up a few Barriers, and exhaled gently.
He leaned over to the monitor beside, watching the situation in that room, turned his head and asked Shen Qionglin and Gao Huating beside him.
"Was I in place just now?"
Shen Qionglin gave a thumbs up.
Xiao Huating's eyes were red, and she said softly, "So you have been under such great pressure all along."
"Eh," Wang Jixuan scratched his head.
He actually wanted to explain that his unrestrained years of wandering for 6000 years in his second life were not really suffering.
Overall, his current life was quite smooth, with ups and downs, but compared to those Great Demons who turned into Demons out of hatred, it was not too painful of an experience.
But...
Misunderstanding just let it be, too lazy to explain.
Shen Qionglin squinted slightly and asked in a low voice, "Are you really planning to go to Tianluo?"
"Hmm," Wang Jixuan nodded, "Becoming an Immortal is my only pursuit."
"What about Lingtong? She waited for you for eighty years."
"I feel guilty for her," Wang Jixuan pressed his lips tightly, "If she wants to come with me, I will use every means to bring her along. At worst, I'll delay a century to accompany her."
Shen Qionglin shook her head: "That's unnecessary. She's now one of the commanders of humanity; she has her own life. But what you're doing is quite heartless."
Master Wang felt a bit awkward but didn't argue, he simply said: "I wonder if we can negotiate for three to five years' time over there."
Shen Qionglin said: "They didn't answer the third question."
"Yeah, I'm worried about that too," Wang Jixuan said, "However, if this world loses its Spiritual Energy, then the Blade Beasts would also disappear. How much power does the Heavenly Net Group have to eliminate the Blade Beasts? Would the Immortals intervene directly? Considering the current development of Earth Civilization, would losing Spiritual Energy have a significant impact?"
"Very little impact; we've always been following the route planned by General Fu Jian."
Shen Qionglin briefly said:
"I just suggest you ask this, you can bargain with them from this angle.
"For example, you behave as if you really care about the Spiritual Energy of this world, saying it's your Dao inheritance, and losing it would cause you deep pain. They're likely to compensate you to appease you.
"Your Core Circuit can mass-produce experts in their eyes. Even if the power is slightly inferior, the sheer numbers are terrifying, especially since they can live for thousands of years.
"To the Heavenly Net Group, that's too fitting."
Wang Jixuan shook his head: "I have a different view on this."
"Oh? Why?"
"There are countless Artifact Refiners in the Immortal Realm, what advantage does my little technology have?"
"Does the Immortal Realm have 0.1-nanometer silicon crystal engraving technology?"
"Uh, Artifact Refining doesn't follow that path; it's mainly about materials and the Artificer's Mana."
"Isn't that it?"
Shen Qionglin laughed and said:
"The unique technology of the Immortal Forbidden Land, capable of leading to collective Ascension, combined with the Magic Method of Cultivation and Artifact Refining. Even if you're not the only one, you're definitely the highest completion, a very rare sample.
"But I thought about it just now, the Core Circuit's technology is too overpowered. The Heavenly Net Group will probably refrain due to order, rules, and will eventually not spread it widely.
"You just need to maintain this advantage, and becoming an Immortal won't be difficult."
Wang Jixuan fell silent.
He asked: "Do I need to take a factory with me?"
"You could move parts of Cloud City, don't you have subspace?"
"True."
"Mu Dan can go with you, leaving an avatar program in Human Society, just like having a split personality."
Shen Qionglin calmly gave her opinion.
These things, she had already planned for Wang Jixuan half a month ago.
Master Wang laughed and asked: "And what about you? If I could take your brain with me, we'd definitely be able to dominate."
"I'm not going," Shen Qionglin said calmly, "My ideal is to accelerate Earth Human Civilization towards collective Ascension. Your pursuit of individual eternity doesn't align with my understanding of civilization and life."
"Beautiful, and what about you, Hua Ting?"
"I want to go with the teacher," Xiao Hua Ting mumbled, "I'm a cultivator, after all."
"Alright," Wang Jixuan nodded, supporting himself with his knees to stand up, "You guys keep an eye on things, I'm going to make some arrangements. It's best to catch a Dark Sect Member for interrogation to verify with what the Heavenly Net Group says."
Shen Qionglin said: "These cultivators are quite simple-minded, ninety-five percent haven't deceived you."
"Where does your percentage come from?"
"Intuition."
"Alright," Wang Jixuan sighed, "I suspect Dark Sect Members will show up soon, our arrangements might not be enough, let's assume there are a hundred Great Cultivators on their side first."
"How about giving them a baptism of the latest type of nuclear bomb in space?"
Shen Qionglin's eyes sparkled with inquiry.
She also wanted to gather some cultivator parts for research.
"Don't worry, everything is ready, I'm going over to Cloud City to make more preparations."
Wang Jixuan stood up to leave, about to take a step.
Buzz!
The earth suddenly rumbled.
Not far from the place where the Heavenly Net Group was resting, the air seemed to be suddenly emptied, and a mass of swirling black light flickered rapidly.
Speak of the devil and the devil appears!
