Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1186 - 15: Ancient Hill, Qingyu Boundary Star
"Squeak~"
The tightly sealed metal surface suddenly cracked open, forming a three-meter-high, two-meter-wide portal, with hot air billowing out from inside.
"Cough, cough... I’m fine."
King Shenluo emerged somewhat awkwardly from within.
"Zhao Xing? How did you also come in here?"
The place hadn’t been fully explored yet, its danger level was still unknown, so someone as talented as Zhao Xing shouldn’t have come in this early.
The rules here prohibited entering through any duplication techniques.
So Zhao Xing could only enter in person; if he were to die, it would be a huge blow to the Nong Family, something even Ji Che wouldn’t be able to accept.
"Let’s not talk about me first." Zhao Xing took out an Earth Element Fruit from the Pure Essence Space and gave it to King Shenluo to eat. "What happened to you, why were you suddenly blown away?"
There wasn’t anything particularly remarkable nearby.
After all, this was a city, and even if it was the residence of a powerful figure, it wouldn’t be filled with treasures; there should be many living areas, residential zones.
"I was blown away from the temple in the city center," said King Shenluo. "It’s that Purple Light Temple, where Wu Yuan took the treasures."
"Blown away this far?" Zhao Xing was a bit stunned; he was now flying a thousand meters high and couldn’t even see the Three Gods Square at the city’s center.
"Yes, it’s outrageous. My Huge Divine Weapon is a high-quality treasure, a giant mechanism possessing five Rule Domains, and I’ve comprehended two domains myself, completing the Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder. Yet, I was still blown away for kilometers... cough, cough." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
"What did you do?"
"I tried to break the temple’s barrier."
"..."
Zhao Xing was left speechless, thinking to himself, this guy’s appetite is really not small, trying to swallow an elephant.
However, thinking it over, it made sense. For a Mechanic like King Shenluo, encountering a new type of barrier or some intricate mechanism, believing his strength not to be weak, would naturally want to try and break it.
The Mechanical School’s purpose here was just for this kind of thing.
Great Zhou was always considered number one globally, and Mechanical School mechanics had that kind of arrogance.
Encountering these kinds of ruins, who would want to proceed by the rules? Of course, everyone wants to try and see if they can just take it directly.
The result was clear, King Shenluo’s attempt failed, and he was blown out.
"Rise!"
With a thought, King Shenluo’s fallen Huge Divine Weapon sprouted two mechanical tentacles, supporting itself up, transforming into a tripod with a giant sword standing on top.
"Clack, clack, clack~"
The mechanism rotated, and several rope-like beams of light shot out from it, passing through King Shenluo’s body like tentacles.
"What is this for?"
"Warring Soul realignment, just got displaced by the shock earlier," said Luo Tian awkwardly. "You know, every mechanism has a Warring Soul. I follow the Shenluo Sect; my Warring Soul, Life Soul, and Central Soul are all integrated."
"If it’s not realigned, I can’t wield the Huge Divine Weapon’s power."
Zhao Xing suddenly understood that the Central Soul of Shenluo and Wuliang Juzi were cultivated through different techniques of mechanics from various disciplines.
It’s just like the Minister of Agriculture’s Seasonal Order and Pure Essence Soil within his body.
While the Shenluo inside a mechanic’s body is located in the Central Soul, thus called Central Shenluo.
Contrary to the Wuliang Juzi of the Daoist Soldier Sect, which permeates every part of a mechanic’s body, like the Five Elements Particles.
The power of the Shenluo Sect is often greater and more grandiose, but when injured, it takes time to repair.
While the Wuliang Juzi of the Daoist Soldier Sect, with power hidden in the unseen, if it were the Daoist Soldier Sect, the Huge Divine Weapon being blown away earlier would not cause any concern to its mechanic. They’d just stand up and keep going as if nothing happened.
"Feeling great."
King Shenluo waved his hand, the tentacles retracting into the Huge Divine Weapon, and Zhao Xing noticed he suddenly became full of vigor.
The Huge Divine Weapon also seemed much brighter, no longer appearing as if covered in a layer of dust.
"Zhao Xing, let’s go together."
"Alright." Zhao Xing also saved his energy, sitting inside King Shenluo’s Huge Divine Weapon.
Boom~
The Huge Divine Weapon and Pang Yuan Mechanism soared into the sky, with impressive might.
Zhao Xing found that the flying posture of the Huge Divine Weapon was quite unique.
It didn’t seem like it was flying, but rather wriggling in the air.
The sword tip of the Huge Divine Weapon extended forward, while the tail retracted.
In between this contraction and extension, it had already flown over several kilometers.
"Actually, my core part can be anywhere, not necessarily in the middle," King Shenluo spoke of his Lifebound Divine Weapon with great pride. "It can be on the sword tip, the hilt, but I prefer it in the middle."
"You’re impressive for having mastered all Seven Domains," Zhao Xing praised.
"Hehe, thanks to you," King Shenluo laughed, "but my current Rule Domains vary in level. My own domains are only third-grade, and the Rule Domains brought by the Huge Divine Weapon, I can only exert fourth-grade domain capabilities."
"King Shenluo has great ambition," Zhao Xing remarked without flattery.
If King Shenluo were to delve deeply into any one Rule Domain, perhaps the Rule Domains that came with the Huge Divine Weapon could be raised by two more grades.
But he wanted it all, and he had figured out something about all of them.
"Mechanics of the Shenluo Sect, our personalities are somewhat influenced by our profession. We’re accustomed to going big, always feeling incomplete without one Rule Domain."
"In the future, as Mechanical Divine Soldiers become bigger and bigger, missing one domain won’t make them seem grand."
In just a few sentences, Zhao Xing and King Shenluo had already arrived at the Three Gods Square of the Purple Light Ruins.
"Boom~"
The Huge Divine Weapon landed on the ground.
Not far away, Chen Ju glanced over and frowned, saying, "Can you make less noise."
King Shenluo pursed his lips but didn’t retort.
In terms of strength, seniority, and status, the dean of Mo Shou Academy, Chen Ju, was above him.
However, the two belonged to different sects.
Chen Ju was now a Junior Director and naturally had his tasks after entering.
