Living in the Doomsday and Becoming an Immortal Alone-Chapter 1278 - 584: Immortal Palace Assembly! (Part 2)

"There's no clue for now," Hei Yao said softly, "but I always feel that there's definitely Wang Jixuan's trace behind all this. He might have some sort of prophetic ability..."

Cang Ze leaned back in his chair.

His young and handsome face, combined with his shoulder-length hair, always gave off a scholarly vibe. Yet at this moment, the cracked skin and the muscles full of immense power made him seem like a manic body cultivator.

These two styles formed a strange harmony on him.

"That group of deceitful monsters didn't attack us during our first entry; the second time, they besieged us ferociously, without hesitation and without asking any reason.

"How did Wang Jixuan become one with the deceitful monsters? He had just gone in."

Cang Ze sighed softly:

"This defeat was indeed unclear."

Hei Yao crossed his arms and pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Could it be related to the Red Snake?"

"Wang Jixuan's partner?"

"Yes, the Red Snake has been buried here for a long time, likely using the Evil Qi for cultivation."

"Perhaps."

Cang Ze narrowed his eyes slightly:

"I'm starting to experience the sense of helplessness you mentioned.

"Dealing with Wang Jixuan, it seems we're mysteriously restrained everywhere, yet contemplating deeply, some logic seems hidden within."

"It's because of Mu Dan."

Hei Yao said quickly:

"Mu Dan is truly the tricky one.

"She is capable of integrating all types of information and providing the most effective and effortless advice.

"I've been developing a similar mechanical intelligence, but currently, it's still unable to achieve Mu Dan's computational capabilities, and we have consistently faced issues with mechanical rebellion.

"When more than three thousand mechanical thinking bodies are mounted on the same network, it's almost inevitable for mechanical rebellion to occur; their thoughts become uncontrollable... Mu Dan is a special spiritual body, which seems to be the crux of the problem.

"In simple terms, the mechanical civilization that Mu Dan currently oversees, even within the cultivation system, is extremely rare and abnormal."

Cang Ze frowned: "You can complain about these later with me."

"This isn't a complaint," Hei Yao corrected, "It's an awe that becomes more incredible the more you understand."

"Alright, then what are your thoughts now? We should best let both sides fight, reigniting ancient warfare."

Cang Ze squinted with a smile:

"Master Heavenly Dao advised me to heed your opinions more often."

Hei Yao shrugged: "The leaders of these Immortal Palaces aren't foolish. Unless there's sufficient profit motivation or their interests are severely threatened, they won't easily drag their respective forces into the fray; the loss of several experts isn't an issue for them, and they're likely to dismiss it after a momentary lapse."

Cang Ze said: "Then let's give them sufficient profit-driven incentive."

"Hmm?" Hei Yao was somewhat puzzled, "Aren't all the treasures inside that small world broken? And they seem to be contaminated by Evil Qi, not resembling any Heavy Treasure."

Cang Ze thought for a bit and said slowly: "I mean, we put some treasures inside, or create some rumors. With the Heavenly Dao Stele's help, maybe we can make it seem real."

Hei Yao asked: "What if they trace it back to us after checking the accounts?"

"Isn't there a flower-like scapegoat outside?"

Cang Ze said with a squinting smile:

"Such a promiscuous person, sitting alongside me as an equal, I've long found her unpleasant.

"Her Dao Heart is already disturbed, her actions are out of bounds; the best outcome for her is nothing less."

Hei Yao's face stiffened slightly.

He nodded gently and said in a low voice: "Vice Sect Hierarch, please allow me to think about what bait to use."

"You may go rest," Cang Ze waved his hand, "I actually have a draft plan ready, will send someone to execute it later, so don't worry about it."

"Yes."

Hei Yao bowed his head in agreement: "If we can capture more mechanical bodies controlled by Mu Dan later, please leave as many as possible, the more we capture, the better."

Cang Ze nodded with a smile, then closed his eyes to rest.

Hei Yao turned around and exited the barrier, his mind becoming increasingly complicated.

He couldn't understand why Cang Ze, having a plan and arrangement for this matter, called him over to ask his opinion.

What kind of Art of Subduing is this?

Hei Yao had previously taken pleasure in manipulating people's hearts; now in a lower position, he felt as if lost in a fog.

Before leaving the Dark Sect's Treasure Ship, Hei Yao turned to look at Zhi Hui sitting in Huachi.

He didn't say much, turned and continued to observe the black clouds ahead, while the two elderly Heavenly Immortals followed closely.

The booming sound of war drums echoed from afar.

Hei Yao looked up, able to see two large white clouds coming from the north and west, with figures moving atop them.

The Immortal Realm's Eight Great Immortal Palaces were missing only one.

Will this battle really happen?

Hei Yao remained skeptical.

...

Meanwhile, in the Immortal Palace.

Wang Jixuan paused his narrative and looked at the group of Golden Immortals in front with a smile.

A Golden Immortal posed like a thinker;

Another Golden Immortal was sitting cross-legged, seemingly in the process of enlightenment;

Yet another had given up halfway, pretending to be entranced by the scenery outside the window to avoid eye contact with Wang Jixuan. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

In general, few understood.

Luo Tianjin slapped his thigh, yelled, "Good!"

The few elderly folks around him shuddered.

Luo Tianjin laughed heartily: "This technique is marvelous, beyond description! Yes, go ahead, you'll certainly achieve unprecedented accomplishments!"

The other Golden Immortals smiled and nodded along.

The scene resembled the Emperor's New Clothes, with no elder willing to admit they didn't understand Wang Jixuan's mechanical thinking principle.

Master Wang himself didn't fully grasp it; Mu Dan narrated and he relayed, covering everything from binary code to assembly language, from bionic neural networks to various languages for trial and error.

In any case, he presented it comprehensively, with no falsehood.

Wang Jixuan cupped his hands: "Honorable elders, may I join hands with this prince to jointly transform this small world?"

Luo Tianjin looked at the senior-most elder of Sword God Palace, who in turn looked at the leader of God Slaughter Palace, all three nodding.

The white-haired, white-robed elder of Sword God Palace said gently:

"This matter can be settled; proceed wholeheartedly. Should you need anything, our three families will fulfill.

"Jixuan, you are a disciple of Sword God Palace, earning face for us, gaining praise, our sect will decidedly reward you and your master handsomely.

"Yet, be mindful of one matter—the Luoshan Hermit, who is an ancient princess of the human race, a war hero with vast Divine Skills; serve her diligently with utmost care."

Wang Jixuan: ...

Serve?

This term was a bit much.

They were simply business partners; how did the conversation start sounding like a club rendezvous?

Wang Jixuan could only agree with a smile.

He asked: "How do the elders plan to handle the few Immortal Soldiers outside intent on attacking us?"

"Rest assured, we won't let them step into that realm even half a foot!"

"The Immortal Realm is long peaceful; now with great calamities, some blood needs to flow, as sacrifice to the tribulation."

Immediately, murderous intent filled the Immortal Palace.

Wang Jixuan relaxed in his heart, replying with a salute to the immortals.

He had already explained, these mechanical bodies aren't affected by Evil Qi and can modify the illusion within that small world.

Actually, he omitted a few points;

Like Mu Dan started developing devices to store Evil Qi, preparing to use it as Poison Gas Bombs; and Mu Dan began cultivating medicinal herbs that could grow in Evil Qi, genetic modification is trivial for her, and Wang Jixuan's grasp of Time Principle can help speed up breeding.

As Wang Jixuan exited the Immortal Palace, looking up, dark clouds rolled everywhere.

Northwest and southeast, two major forces confronted each other from afar, seemingly ready for battle.

Master Wang glanced a few times, then smiled and shook his head.

It seems unlikely to fight; the Human Race faintly surpasses the Hundred Races side; why would the Hundred Races initiate combat?

Rather than being concerned about this, he might as well care about Professor Shen Qionglin's mental well-being on Earth to see if he can bring Xiao Shen over to study the sustainable utilization of Evil Qi.

Wang Jixuan had just planned to retreat to the back of the Immortal Island when his mind shifted to his Bone Puppet, two transmissions simultaneously entered his ears.

"Jixuan! Could we discuss something!"

One was Luo Tianjin, as Wang Jixuan expected.

The other, however...

Uh, Teacher?

"Disciple, I was asked by someone to come to you for inquiry."
