#382 - Imprisoned, but doing research
Wang Ji Xuan always felt like the air had a taste.
He sat down cross-legged, pressing his hands on the stone slab in front of him, his spiritual sense, which had been suppressed within his body, began to slowly seep into the stone slab through the contact between his body and the slab.
The others stood or sat near him, concealing his movements.
They chatted idly from time to time, also to mislead others.
After more than twenty minutes, Wang Ji Xuan opened his eyes, his expression a little solemn.
Good heavens;
This ancient civilization really had some tricks up its sleeve.
In Wang Ji Xuan's perception, the formations here were completely unfamiliar, although the principles were similar to the Five Elements Formation he knew, the formations here were more complete and more complex.
If the formations in their cultivation world were equivalent to weaving a simple and practical linen garment;
Then the formations here were equivalent to dozens of layers of cicada-wing treasure robes stacked together.
Although the construction principles were interconnected, both being clothes (formations), the complexity was completely different.
"Can't you unravel it?" Amina asked.
"I can unravel it, it just takes some time," Wang Ji Xuan said, "Moreover, the most important thing here is actually finding the design ideas of this kind of formation, and deducing the shortcomings of various types of formations from the design ideas. There is no perfect formation in the world. One reason they made the formations so complex is to ensure stability."
Nielda Tamon said in a deep voice: "We actually have a lot of time."
Amina said: "Or, I'll go and soften her up first, and ask her to activate the planet barrier first?"
"You can," Wang Ji Xuan said, "I probably need two days to comprehend this thing, forget it, conservatively estimate at least five days."
Nielda Tamon nodded: "I'll guard here."
"Guarding or not doesn't really matter," Amina said dejectedly, "We are useless in the face of those drone's red lights."
"Should have brought Mudan down."
Wang Ji Xuan muttered.
With Mudan's computing power, the time to unravel this formation would be greatly reduced.
Immediately, Wang Ji Xuan lay down directly, pretending to be sound asleep.
Nielda Tamon went to a corner to find a book to read.
Wu Man and the others each found a corner to rest, without asking much.
Amina didn't go directly to 'surrender' either. She waited for about half a day, as if she had made some kind of determination after careful consideration, and walked to the gate of the palace, saying to the light membrane that sealed the gate:
"I want to talk to you, Ms. He Ruli."
A faint phantom appeared outside the door.
It was He Ruli's projection.
"Can you represent him?"
"No, I can only represent myself," Amina's expression was a little complicated, "I want to know more details about Hei Yao and the others contacting you."
"Why?"
"He is my biological father."
Amina said softly:
"However, he has about a hundred children like me, and he sent us to various spiritual cultivation forces.
"The reason I can become the leader of a branch is not only because my resonance with the core circuit is the highest, but also because he fueled the flames behind the scenes."
He Ruli thought for a while and finally nodded slightly: "Perhaps you can help me persuade the great pioneer."
"The word 'great' sounds a bit ironic when it comes from your mouth."
"Is that so?"
He Ruli smiled, slightly raising her chin:
"Have you forgotten that I was a member of the opposition back then?"
Amina was speechless for a moment.
Several bronze puppets appeared outside the palace gate with a large number of drones. Amina let her hands hang down naturally and walked out of the formation's light wall that had opened a gap.
Before they left, He Ruli watched Wang Ji Xuan's reclining figure and sighed softly.
The ignored Nielda Tamon pursed his lips slightly, without saying much.
He continued to read the books here with great interest.
… …
At the same time;
The surface world.
Wang Ji Xuan's other soul and the Second War Puppet's hiding place, Daoist Wang's mind moved back.
His spiritual sense slowly extended like flowing water;
Wang Ji Xuan had a sense of elation, like he had been snorkeling in the deep sea for several hours and finally floated to the surface.
He didn't simply come out for a breath of fresh air. He tried to retract his spiritual sense as much as possible, locked onto the nearest pseudo-spiritual slave, and began to search, feel, and compare.
Soon, Wang Ji Xuan discovered.
Most of the various technologies used by the pseudo-spiritual slaves should come from this ancient civilization, and were not originally created by Ye Zi and her group of spiritual cultivators.
In other words, the reason why the Blade Beasts now have such a climate is also due to the various technical blessings provided by the force led by Hei Yao.
Interesting.
The Ina civilization was defeated by internal factional struggles;
The spiritual cultivation civilization is also taking the same old path.
That's great, I suggest increasing the firepower.
Wang Ji Xuan carefully studied the structure of the pseudo-spiritual slaves for a while, and then turned his attention to the Gari Nuo lurking here, tentatively exploring it.
To Wang Ji Xuan's surprise, the spiritual energy circuit in this Gari Nuo's body was also very complex, but this complexity was a superimposed complexity, with a kind of natural wildness and unkempt 'beauty'.
It was not the same path as the spiritual cultivators and the Ina civilization.
The Ina civilization had a unique understanding of aesthetics, and an almost demanding obsession.
Just as Wang Ji Xuan was about to withdraw his mind and return to his main body to continue studying the Ina civilization's 'new type' formation, a familiar beautiful figure broke into the edge of his spiritual sense.
Ye Zi, wearing high heels, appeared in the passage at the edge of the laboratory. She didn't go to inspect the laboratory, but went straight to the cave where the Gari Nuo was located, her face cold and her eyes murderous, as if she was about to kill someone at any moment.
Ye Zi like this, without the usual affectation and disguise, made Wang Ji Xuan's eyes light up instead.
Quite sassy.
A few minutes later, Ye Zi broke into the cave where the Gari Nuo was located, holding a crystal core in her hand and throwing it at the Gari Nuo's feet.
Ping!
The crystal core shattered directly.
The Gari Nuo was still wearing human skin at the moment, the black suit on his body was a little wrinkled, but he didn't intend to change it.
The Gari Nuo asked: "Why are you angry?"
"They have already gone to the ruins of the ancient civilization!"
Ye Zi said angrily:
"If they activate the planet barrier, we will all be trapped here to death!
"Now, immediately, we must carry out a sweeping offensive against the human world!
"The spiritual cultivators who entered the ruins of the ancient civilization will definitely not only be Amina, the remaining two hypocritical politicians of the Wings of Light must also send representatives!
"Why do you refuse this proposal!"
The Gari Nuo said in a deep voice: "Because according to our judgment, a full-scale attack now, unless we forcibly awaken the ten Beast Gods, we don't have much chance of winning."
It added: "And awakening the ten Beast Gods would be too great a loss for us."
"Don't you not care about the lives of ordinary Blade Beasts?" Ye Zi's eyes became very sharp.
The Gari Nuo said: "What we care about is whether we can maintain continuous high pressure on human civilization."
"Once the planet barrier is activated, your teleportation doors will become ineffective."
"Our current strength is fully capable of defending against their offensive. Next, we only need to wait for two time nodes."
The Gari Nuo said slowly, his voice still as harsh as a screwdriver scraping glass.
"The first time node is when the five pillar Blade Beast groups arrive here from nearby planets after completing interstellar teleportation.
"This should be completed within three orbital periods. By then, we will have enough power to destroy them.
"Even if this plan fails, as long as we ensure that our existing power does not leak, then when the second time node arrives, all the sleeping Beast God adults will awaken.
"By then, we can easily achieve the results we want."
Ye Zi frowned: "You underestimate the power of the cultivators too much."
"He is just an individual."
"He is a civilization, he represents the ultimate form of spiritual energy."
Wang Ji Xuan, listening in the dark, secretly said 'overpraised'.
He is now trapped by the formations created by the Ina civilization.
To be honest, the Ina civilization has embarked on a spiritual energy path with its own characteristics on the basis of the cultivation civilization, and Daoist Wang must admit this.
The Gari Nuo was silent for a while, and gently shook his head at Ye Zi: "Our decision is to temporarily not launch a full-scale offensive against the human world."
Ye Zi closed her eyes and gently exhaled.
She suddenly laughed, very happily, and with some elegance, she bowed slightly to the Gari Nuo.
"I hope that when you are defeated by the cultivators, you will not shamelessly come to seek our help again. Our other cooperation is still unaffected."
The Gari Nuo did not try to persuade her to stay.
Obviously, it already had self-esteem and some stubborn emotions.
Ye Zi turned and left, this time not returning to her palace, but going to the underground passage where she entered and exited this place.
Wang Ji Xuan observed Ye Zi's back from afar with his spiritual sense.
Just as he was hesitating whether to test Ye Zi, Ye Zi suddenly stopped and looked at a corner on the side.
Wang Ji Xuan's spiritual sense retracted as if electrocuted.
Ye Zi tilted her head and stared at that corner, carefully investigating it for a while, and then left with some suspicion.
'What sensitive spiritual sense.'
Daoist Wang thought for a while, and still gave up the impulse to lure Ye Zi down.
He was worried that if Ye Zi left here today, she would no longer appear here in the future, and it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find her. If she left this planet, it would be even more troublesome.
But the only way Wang Ji Xuan could think of to lure Ye Zi into the Cloud City was to use himself as bait, asking her for help, using her infatuation with 'Big Brother'.
This is a bit despicable.
The Daoist also really disdained to do so.
Mainly, it was also because of Yezi's repeated calls of 'Big Brother' that the Daoist couldn't quite bear it.
Wang Jixuan used his spiritual sense to watch Yezi enter the shuttle from afar and leave.
He thought for a while, then connected to the communication network of Kali Nuo, simply listening and watching, without any other thoughts.
After his observation, the Blade Beasts would not launch an offensive against the human world at this stage.
That was enough.
He would first deal with the remnant spirit of this ancient civilization, and then gradually clean up this spiritual cultivator force that was secretly causing trouble.
And most importantly:
Find the part of his memory that he had lost, the specific experiences of the Wanderer of the Three Realms, he needed to investigate thoroughly.
… …
Time flew by, and four days had passed.
Wang Jixuan and his party were trapped in the hall, with no chance to go out, but fortunately, they had no worries about food and drink, and Lhasa and the others each had their own bathrooms.
They didn't have to worry about their living conditions.
Amina began to play the role of 'lubricant,' constantly talking between the ancient remnant spirit He Ruli and Wang Jixuan.
Gao Huating had woken up, but she was also confined and could only look at this side from the opposite palace with a depressed expression.
They couldn't even communicate.
However, this situation would soon be improved.
Wang Jixuan had almost cracked the protective formation here, and by the way, he used the formation here in reverse to slowly extend his spiritual sense, allowing him to observe the slightest disturbance within a few kilometers nearby.
After all, he was the source of the spiritual energy technology of the Ina civilization;
Even without the memories of the Wanderer of the Three Realms, cracking these formations was only a matter of time.
Daoist Wang did not act rashly.
He began to study other types of formations, using the guardian formation of this hall as a springboard, locking his spiritual sense onto two bronze puppets and began to study these things.
Puppets at the peak of the Integration Stage!
Integration, Tribulation Transcendence, Great Ascension;
Even in the cultivation world, the Integration Stage was a master.
The puppets here actually had this kind of strength. If he could get the technology to make these puppets… Hehehe, a great opportunity.
By the way, Wang Jixuan was also quite interested in their energy transmission method.
In the previous battle, Wang Jixuan had discovered that the spiritual power within these puppets was almost endless!
The spiritual energy of the entire city was interconnected!
This energy transmission method made Wang Jixuan very concerned.
If he could do it…
He could completely set up a large spirit gathering array in the rear, and bring equipment that could replenish energy remotely, wouldn't he be able to continuously charge into battle?
What a wonderful use!
Moreover, it was obvious that these bronze puppets were not living things, nor did they have self-awareness, and they had no reaction to Wang Jixuan's investigation.
He's in!
Daoist Wang's spiritual sense easily penetrated into the bronze puppet's body, his expression first relaxed, then became solemn, and then his face was speechless.
What did he see?
The most advanced chips in the surface human civilization, now probably equivalent to one nanometer or so, but there are actually many limitations;
And within these bronze puppets, there were hundreds of 'chips,' each chip gathering a large number of spiritual energy circuits, and the manufacturing process far exceeded the silicon-based chips of surface humans!
Extremely complex;
Completely unreasonable.
Wang Jixuan could be considered a master of refining artifacts. It was not difficult to understand these restrictions, but the difficulty lay in the scale of the restrictions within the other party's body.
Without decades of research, it would be difficult to understand the manufacturing process of this thing.
And if you want to master this manufacturing process, it is beyond human power.
Immeasurable Heavenly Lord!
Holding a carving knife always has its limits;
The artifact refining industry of the immortal cultivation civilization will still have to develop towards high-precision CNC machine tools in the future!
The Daoist smiled awkwardly, thought for a while, and changed his strategy.
If he couldn't thoroughly study the detailed parts, then he would swallow it whole and see what role that module could play, and if he had the opportunity later, he would deduct its 'circuit board.'
Once he entered the field of refining artifacts, Wang Jixuan's interest suddenly increased.
He immersed himself in research, and unknowingly another day and a half passed.
Just as he wanted to continue pondering, the ancient remnant spirit seemed to have run out of patience and took the initiative to appear outside the hall door, unlocking the formation of the hall where Gao Huating was located.
Two bronze puppets, one on the left and one on the right, 'protected' Gao Huating, escorting her towards the opposite palace.
"Brother Wang, Brother Wang?"
Zheng Shiduo called out, and Wang Jixuan opened his eyes and sat up from the recliner.
