Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 1064 - 1062: The Tour

Next, Jing Xiu led Zheng Wentian into a workshop, where they saw thousands of cultivators lined up in neat rows.

They were seated in mid-air, and a large quantity of materials, mined and sorted by mechanical soldiers, were sent along a conveyor belt to their front.

The thousands of cultivators simultaneously performed the technique of Ghostly Spirit Hundred Refine, causing the materials before them to automatically fuse under the influence of Daoist magic, amalgamating into pieces of Taibai Essence Gold marked with runes.

Taibai Essence Gold is the most basic magical treasure material, yet its strength and toughness are extremely high. With just a bit more processing, it can become the main material for Ninth Realm Magical Treasures.

Watching thousands of pieces of Taibai Essence Gold being manufactured in an instant, Zheng Wentian was astounded. The key part was that several seconds later, he saw more materials being sent to the cultivators, and another thousand pieces of Taibai Essence Gold were completed within seconds.

"Where did you find so many cultivators?" Zheng Wentian asked in shock, "Moreover, they all know the Zuo Family's Ghostly Spirit Hundred Refine. Are they all from the Heavenly Forge Academy?"

Jing Xiu smiled faintly without answering, continuing to lead Zheng Wentian to observe further.

Then they saw batches of Taibai Essence Gold rising into the air along the assembly line, their surfaces covered with Yuan Magnetic Earth Evil Runes, capable of anti-gravity flight. This technology, used in the manufacturing of Donghua City and various human bronze flying vehicles, employs Immortal Dao technology to easily use spiritual mechanisms to achieve flight, levitation, and other capabilities.

Achieving flight like this with Demonic technology would require consuming vast amounts of energy and space, but Immortal Dao technology easily allows the entire Donghua City to float in mid-air.

Taibai Essence Gold was sent into a massive underground space, where hundreds of cultivators together performed the Ghostly Spirit Hundred Refine to further process these Taibai Essence Gold pieces into various components.

Some components included parts for Void Crown shields, parts for stellar throne warships, elements of a newly designed shuttle-shaped floating sword cannon, and accessories for humanoid mechas employing Immortal Armor and soldier evil techniques, components for the planned space migration ship, among others.

Afterward, these parts were thrown into a pond of silver water, consisting entirely of nano-machines. The parts thrown in were assembled one by one, some directly completed to become new mechanical soldiers, joining the production line.

Others were taken to consume Longevity Dao Fruits, such as the Void Crown, stellar throne warships, humanoid mechas, and so on, becoming new mechanical familiars.

Just in the past two-plus months, over twenty thousand of the third version of the Void Crown were manufactured, and after improvements by many cultivators, not only do they have Yuan Magnetic Earth Evil Runes aiding flight, but also come equipped with Immortal Dao array protective fields, and are installed with the Demonic phase transfer armor.

Each component has been turned into a familiar, granted with Tang Ruhai's defensive power.

This combination of Heavenly Demon, Immortal Dao, and Heavenly Tribulation of Nine Disasters technologies in twenty thousand Void Crowns would be enough to make any enemy feel hopeless—they might be defeated faster than they can be produced.

'With our current wisdom and knowledge reserves, it's difficult to truly integrate the technologies of Heavenly Demon, Immortal Dao, and Heavenly Tribulation of Nine Disasters essentially within a short time.'

Jing Xiu looked with satisfaction at these continuously manufactured mechanical weapons, praised inwardly: 'Yet even a simple combination of these three technologies yields amazing results.'

Zheng Wentian couldn't discern many of its intricacies; what shocked him most was the number of cultivators.

"I must have seen at least eight or nine thousand cultivators just now, right? Where did you get so many cultivators?"

Donghua City admits only a few hundred students each year, so seeing Jing Xiu suddenly presenting so many cultivators was understandably shocking to Zheng Wentian.

Jing Xiu replied, "It's all thanks to Brother Zhou's Heavenly Tribulation of Nine Disasters having a significant effect, greatly enhancing average aptitude, allowing more people to cultivate the Dao. Currently, at this facility, there are 120,000 cultivators working and studying."

Zheng Wentian exclaimed, "120,000 people??"

Jing Xiu chuckled, "In another month or two, the number should break a million. By then, the number of mechanical familiars should also surpass one million."

Listening to this number left Zheng Wentian in disbelief—if this continues, won't all humanity become cultivators?

Zheng Wentian quickly asked, "Does it relate to the training you mentioned before?"

Jing Xiu nodded, "Let's go take a look at the training classes."

As the number of trainees continues to expand, a school has been established using mechanical familiars within the Mechanical Base, sufficient to accommodate over ten thousand individuals for learning, resting, and dining.

However, the size of the school still falls short of the expanding personnel, so Jing Xiu has arranged for mechanical soldiers to construct another base over ten kilometers away to accommodate more students in the future.

As the two walked toward the school, they passed by a large tract of farmland, observing Heavenly Demons and cultivators farming together in the fields. Zheng Wentian was astonished, "Are they farming?"

Jing Xiu nodded, "They're using the Daxia royal family's Heavenly Sword Swordsmanship to adjust the climate while combining it with Demonic agricultural technology, attempting to produce more food. The goal is to free more people from agricultural labor and convert them into cultivators."

"But agriculture is just one of several methods; I heard Teacher Ying Hui has already established a third team specifically to cultivate a Dao technique from Heavenly Tribulation of Nine Disasters called spiritual breath. If successful, spiritual mechanisms can replace food in daily respiration…"

"That is breeding demons. We're attempting to use Demonic cloning technology to clone demons, and if mass cloning can be achieved, then Taibai Essence Gold can all be upgraded to Blood Talisman Immortal Steel using demon essence blood…" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Seeing a group of individuals fighting on the ground, Jing Xiu glanced at Zheng Wentian's shocked expression, explaining, "They all practice the Dao technique from Heavenly Tribulation of Nine Disasters passed down by Brother Zhou; they're particularly resilient when prone on the ground. Although it looks odd, it shouldn't have side effects, and Principal Yun Chonghe is considering promoting it for public use."

The two walked and observed, eventually reaching the school.

Zheng Wentian pointed at a girl surrounded by many people with dog ears and asked, "What is that? Are you researching demon bloodline awakening?"

Seeing the dog-eared girl, Jing Xiu's face darkened, "No... that's just one of our students. She's been held back eight grades already and never graduated, so she's stayed in the school and gradually became a school bully."

Jing Xiu shouted, "Elsa! Who let you out to play? Get back to studying!"

Zheng Wentian glanced at Jing Xiu beside him in surprise. The Jing Xiu he remembered was gentle, quiet, and virtuous—how did she become so fierce now?
