With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal-Chapter 618 - 551: The Young Commander with the Tiger Tally, Autumn Musters on the Battlefield!

Chapter 618: Chapter 551: The Young Commander with the Tiger Tally, Autumn Musters on the Battlefield!

Meng Chuan pondered for a moment, his hand unconsciously tapping the table as he slowly inquired:

"General Shicheng, has the current concentration of demonic energy increased?"

This matter was of utmost importance.

Red Ferocity was already at peak Three-Limit strength, capable of contending alone with a title-level Great Demon.

Any further increase in strength would force the group to abandon the mission without hesitation.

Just as breaking through the Four Limits in Martial Arts achieved the Martial Arts Grandmaster, a chasm apart from a Three-Limit Martial Arts Master.

The same logic applied to Celestial Demons; if Red Ferocity were to make another breakthrough, only General Shicheng could contend with it.

Hearing Meng Chuan’s concerns, Shicheng nodded and said:

"To be honest, I’m worried about that too.

Red Ferocity is a conceptual-type Great Demon, always hiding deep within and never showing itself.

It is suspected to be within the [Temple], and it is directly related to your mission to investigate the Temple."

The word "Temple" was transmitted to the ears of the group through sound transmission.

Meng Chuan nodded slightly, understanding in his heart.

His implication was that the guise Red Ferocity wore could likely point to the Immortals and Buddhas tainted by demonic power in the Temple.

"However, the situation is relatively optimistic. Red Ferocity has merely instigated his subordinate Celestial Demons to riot multiple times, and the concentration of demonic energy has not changed. Seeing is believing, please come with me."

With that, Shicheng rose and led the group out of the tent.

He led Meng Chuan and the others to the observation room for the demon nest equipment.

Before entering, everyone, including Shicheng, changed into dust-proof clothing and put on shoe covers.

While changing, Shicheng casually explained:

"To maintain precision in equipment detection, we need to keep the environment at a constant temperature and humidity, free from strong electromagnetic interference, and clean with no dust. Hence, even a Great Saint coming inside must change into dust-proof clothing."

The group nodded, following the rules as required.

Once dressed, they followed Shicheng and swiped a card to enter.

Meng Chuan closely followed General Shicheng into the room, stepping in second.

At a glance, the entire room was full of technological vibes. Having played the ’wild man’ role on the mountain for so long, he had not seen such a sight for quite some time...

Blue cold light filled the room, with countless detector wires interwoven like a silver web.

Looking up slightly, he saw the center of the room, where a giant holographic projection floated.

Green text on it clearly recorded various parameters.

He couldn’t understand most of the data but could make out the first line reading:

[Real-time Demonic Energy Concentration: 3.765 nanodemon units]

Nanodemon unit is the unit of measure for demonic energy concentration.

The leading number indicates the demonic scale level.

Exceeding 3 points proves the existence of a title-level Demon Nest Master inside the demon nest.

Each 0.1 point increase triggers a strong alarm from the equipment.

This alerts the defense personnel of significant changes in the demonic energy concentration within the demon nest, corresponding to the strength changes of the Demon Nest Master.

If rising from 3 to 4, it signifies a leap in scale level.

It means the Demon Nest Master inside has advanced from the equivalent of a Three-Limit Master to that of a Four-Limit Grandmaster.

A reading beginning with 5 nanodemon units means its strength matches that of a Martial Arts Venerable.

Such Celestial Demons cannot simply be called Great Demons.

Instead, they enter the line of "Celestial Demon Commander," capable of quickly destroying an entire city, requiring the defense armies of the entire province to be on high alert.

With each subsequent increase in nanodemon units, the strength and status of the Demon Nest Master enhance accordingly.

Finishing his inspection, Meng Chuan curiously pointed at the light screen:

"General Shicheng, is this the newest demonic energy concentration detection equipment?"

Meng Chuan noted that this equipment was undoubtedly much more advanced than what he’d seen before.

It seems that besides the flourishing development of Martial Arts, technology has not halted its progress either.

Researchers like his cousin Meng Yiyi and others are also contributing significantly on the unified front against Celestial Demons behind the scenes.

Shicheng nodded:

"That’s right, the update and iteration speed of equipment related to demon nests has always been fast.

The cylindrical demonic energy concentration monitoring equipment you saw before was phased out and replaced at the beginning of the year."

The nation has always implemented a "Three Infinity" policy regarding the development of high-tech equipment to counteract Celestial Demons:

[Unlimited funding for research, limitless provision of research talents, infinite scrutiny of research discipline.]

The last point is clearly to prevent anyone from being driven by greed.

A review committee led by a Martial Arts Celestial King, trusted 100% by the nation, was specially established.

It sufficiently demonstrates the deep disdain for corruption in scientific research.

Having spent a long time on the mountain, witnessing this room full of high-tech products did indeed make Meng Chuan feel somewhat unaccustomed.

As they walked out, after the previous scene, he had a deeper understanding of the importance of technology.

However...

Ultimately, machines are lifeless matter, and as the team leader, Meng Chuan still had to consider team safety more thoroughly.

He couldn’t resist softly asking:

"General Shicheng, is it accurate?"

"You mean the detector?"

"Yes."

"It’s about 80 to 90% accurate; some Celestial Demons can conceal their strength and suppress their demonic energy concentration, you know."

"..."

"Look at you, getting worried over nothing. That accuracy is quite high, much better than the previous generation.

And think about it; without losing a single soldier, you can approximately grasp the critical intelligence of the demon nest. Isn’t that good?

Plus, you needn’t worry too much. I’ve personally scouted it, and its strength doesn’t surpass that of a Martial Arts Master. Be bold and go for it!"

After discussing business, Shicheng’s tone lightened considerably.

Hearing this, Meng Chuan felt inwardly relieved and asked again:

"Aside from Red Ferocity, what is the strength of the other Celestial Demons?"

Shicheng’s expression became serious again:

"The total number of Celestial Demons is at least over 100,000, with middle to upper rank accounting for about half a percent based on multiple estimations.

I won’t be entering the demon nest, but besides the defense forces stationed here, my soldiers will accompany you inside.
