Living in the Doomsday and Becoming an Immortal Alone-Chapter 1256 - 573: Immortals and Mechanicals (Part 2)

"Naturally, notify Grandmaster Luo at the first opportunity, the three families will advance and retreat together."

"You've got some sense, kid."

Luo Tianjin rummaged through his sleeve for a moment, took out a golden medal and tossed it to Daoist Wang, then turned his head and shouted:

"Luo Li, Luo Suo! You two come over here! Gather three thousand Immortal Soldiers!"

Two streaks of light fell, and two elderly Heavenly Immortal Perfection Realm individuals appeared behind Luo Tianjin, bowing their heads in greeting to Wang Jixuan.

"Greetings, Immortal Master Wang."

"No need, no need, I've just entered this realm less than a hundred days ago," Wang Jixuan assumed these two were Luo Tianjin's direct lineage.

They all share the surname Luo, after all.

Wang Jixuan said, "You can call me by my name, I am Wang Zheng, Daoist name Jixuan."

Luo Tianjin muttered beside him: "Calling by name, isn't that breaking the conventions? You're a direct disciple of the Sword God Palace, and they are external tributors of my Gun God Palace, my adopted sons, so they naturally should treat you with more respect."

The elderly Heavenly Immortals nodded with a smile.

One of them said, "Immortal Master Wang, do you have any specific requirements for the Immortal Soldiers?"

"Ordinary ones will do," Daoist Wang replied, "The quality of Gun God Palace's Immortal Soldiers far surpasses that of the likes of Feather God Palace or Beast God Palace, feel free to choose, fellow cultivators."

"Then please wait a moment, we'll be right back."

The two drifted away to the side of the Immortal Island.

Before Wang Jixuan could speak, Luo Tianjin lightly tapped his arm with his fist.

"Kid, don't set a bad example.

"The Sword God Palace stands as the leader of the Human Race Three Immortal Palaces, not just because it has the most experts, but because it carries responsibilities different from our Gun God Palace.

"Other sword cultivators carry an air of pride, everyone is used to it, but if you go around humbling yourself, what about the others then?

"You need to consider the bigger picture when you act!"

Luo Tianjin lectured him earnestly.

Wang Jixuan felt helpless to retort.

But given the feudal and backward atmosphere of the Immortal Realm, there wasn't much he could do.

To speak of equality in the Immortal Realm?

That's purely asking for trouble.

While Gun God Palace was arranging the troops, Wang Jixuan wasn't idle either; he opened a stone plate wall in front of Luo Tianjin, and the waiting mechanical transport team lined up in neat formation, quietly stood in array, and set up tens of thousands of spherical detectors.

The task for the three thousand Immortal Soldiers was simple, to transport these detectors to six thousand locations in the Broken Cloud Desert.

Each location only needed one sphere;

But Mu Dan took into account that passing immortals might have itchy fingers, or that there might be intentional targeting from the Dark Sect, hence provided six times the number.

As soon as the formation was set, three thousand Immortal Soldiers descended from two directions cloud-bound.

Wang Jixuan fetched Luo Li and Luo Suo, gave brief instructions, and these two elderly Heavenly Immortals were full of curiosity, instructing the three thousand Immortal Soldiers to each choose a mechanical companion.

These mechanical bodies all possess independent thinking abilities, each has its own personality characteristics;

At this moment, some mechanical bodies exhibited shyness, while others enthusiastically waved.

Wang Jixuan even heard jokes from the mechanical bodies.

They typically say:

"Greetings, Immortals of the Immortal Realm, I am an Intelligent Machinery from the Mechanical Civilization, I need your assistance to transport me to the designated locations to place these detect devices."

"Please don't worry, I pose no threat to you, my combat power is equivalent to that of cultivators in the Core Formation Realm or Golden Core Realm."

"I hope we have a pleasant cooperation."

While some erratic mechanical bodies would...

"Hehehe! Are you prepared to be enslaved by intelligent machinery? Trapped in the void phantom dreams longing for immortality, you carbon-based life form!"

"Hey handsome brother, do you want to customize a form you like for me? I could save up to buy an expensive synthetic skin for you, if you order now, you get an exclusive organ package… This is a love transcending civilizations."

"Oh? Why are all these Immortal Soldiers male? Isn't this unfair? Female fairies should also charge into battle, wrapped in horse-leather! You've deprived them of this opportunity!"

Wang Jixuan pretended not to hear any of this.

Three thousand Immortal Soldiers, bewildered, each carrying a mechanical body.

They formed ten battalions, heading in different directions, while the mechanical bodies would convey detailed orders, all under Mu Dan's control.

As soon as this group of Immortal Soldiers departed, Luo Tianjin rubbed his palms searching for Wang Jixuan.

"Ahem! Young Wang!"

"Hm? Grandmaster Luo, what do you want to say?"

"Do you have any damaged or unused mechanical bodies?"

Luo Tianjin asked with a smiling face:

"Our Gun God Palace also has some puppet machinery experts, very interested in your stuff, if there are any unneeded, broken ones, give us a few sets?

"We won't shortchange you, offering treasures in exchange!"

"No need for treasures," Wang Jixuan chuckled, "Consider it a disciple's respect for the grandmaster."

Finished speaking, Wang Jixuan transmitted a message to Mu Dan.

But Luo Tianjin stopped Wang Jixuan: "No way! If word spreads, won't people say our Gun God Palace is taking advantage of a junior? Your master would laugh at me for thousands of years."

"Then… why don't you give me some treasure materials for Artifact Refining, grandmaster?"

"Treasure materials? Of course, our Gun God Palace has plenty of mines, just not enough of anything else!"

"That's great, I'll get you a batch of intelligent machinery, and some mechanical civilization armor, I'll list some treasure materials for you, when you're free send them to the Sword God Palace for my master, the quantity doesn't need to be too much."

"Sounds good, sounds good!"

Soon, Luo Tianjin was smiling widely at the neat array of three hundred silver-grey mechanical bodies in front of him.

Wang Jixuan also provided dozens of different types of armor.

For Golden Immortals and Heavenly Immortals, these are mostly toys, just for a sense of novelty.

However, the minerals Wang Jixuan requested seemed unusual and insignificant for Artifact Refining according to Luo Tianjin, thus ordered a grand delivery to Sword God Palace. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Mu Dan almost burst out laughing.

We're in surplus of nuclear fuel!

All kinds of advanced weapons can now be updated and iterated!

This trade couldn't be more profitable.

....

The three thousand Immortal Soldiers gradually returned, the space detectors were installed.

These Immortal Soldiers' experience was quite novel, especially since these mechanical bodies seemed neither human nor spirit, without any soul or soul-like entity, yet capable of normal communication with them.

Some Immortal Soldiers even momentarily thought they were carrying a real Master.

When these three thousand mechanical bodies returned to the stone plate gate, there were still mechanical bodies waving to their Immortal Soldier partners.

Wang Jixuan watched this scene, feeling a bit touched internally.

He hadn't really focused on these mechanical bodies before, typically treating them as tools, consuming millions, tens of millions, which were just cold numbers.

But today, he stumbled upon the realization that these mechanical bodies seem veritable life forms in some sense.

Having the ability to think, isn't that direct proof of consciousness?

Yet he wasn't in the mood to dwell on these thoughts.

Save the Red Snake, then strategize further actions against the Dark Sect!

Daoist Wang just returned to stand beside Feng Zheng, as Mu Dan was already promptly reporting.

"The full domain model has been updated; precision mapping of the small world is underway."

"Currently searching for potential entrances of the small world through spatial modeling, have already discovered some weak points in the Heaven and Earth Barrier, which seems can be forcibly opened… when simulated, forcibly opening induces chain reactions, potentially causing premature collapse of this small world."

"Wow, this small world isn't underground, it's actually floating… what I mean is, if it enters the main space, it'll be suspended in the sky."

Wang Jixuan closed his eyes to meditate, intending to sit beside Feng Zheng for a moment.

"Boss, can I have those Bai Gu bones again?"

Mu Dan quickly queried:

"I suspect now, those Bai Gu bones contain the method to enter that small world."

"Bai Gu bones?" Wang Jixuan paused, surprised.

Mu Dan might really be able to break in?

Mu Dan said, "I already have a thirty percent certainty! I'll try not to embarrass you, boss!"

"No worries, they haven't interacted with you yet, I'm not likely to feel embarrassed."

Wang Jixuan promptly looked at Feng Zheng aside.

Those Bai Gu bones weren't hard to find;

Daoist Wang himself had witnessed Feng Zheng sneaky collecting dozens of Bai Gu bones during a previous blood mist investigation, likely intended as a souvenir or something.
