#457 - God bless you
After calming down and thinking about it, the fervent excitement in Wang Jixuan's heart gradually disappeared.
A road never imagined before;
A start never conceived.
In fact, he hasn't even reached the Immortal Realm yet, he's only embarked on the 'Zhongnan Path' leading to the Immortal Realm, and then…
The Avatar of the Heavenly Dao suddenly popped up, saying that the future needs him, or rather, needs Peony's help, wanting him to use his personal abilities to help Peony increase her computing power.
Wang Jixuan really wanted to grab the Heavenly Dao by the throat and roar:
You're the one who used Heavenly Tribulation and Heavenly Punishment to kill me, you bastard?!
But he was too shocked at the time… even if he had thought of it, he probably wouldn't have dared to do it.
Cultivators have an inexplicable fear of the Heavenly Dao.
Wang Jixuan calmed down for a long time, then let Peony out for some fresh air, and specially called Amina, Red Serpent, and Xia Huating together, instructing them a few words.
“Later, you can go and grind tasks, and most likely, the tasks won't be too difficult for our people.”
“Peony will be the vice-captain of our squad from now on. Even if you don't want to listen to her suggestions, you must listen. Believe me, her simulations and calculations are very useful.”
Peony blinked: “Ah? I've been promoted?”
Xia Huating chuckled.
Red Serpent pouted unhappily: “What is it? Teacher is actually starting to support Peony.”
Wang Jixuan: Is this me supporting her? It's the Heavenly Dao that needs her help!
Amina asked softly: “Is there any other special reason?”
“I'm not sure about this either, it's just a kind of intuition, and cultivators' intuitions are often a response to the heavens.”
Wang Jixuan winked at Amina, and Amina understood and didn't ask any more questions:
“In short, everyone should listen to Peony's opinions more in the future. Peony can now openly operate outside and can remodel this place.”
“When the time is right later, I will go to Yin Tangzhu to discuss setting up a big data center.”
Peony was quite happy at first, but when she heard Wang Jixuan say this, she couldn't help but tilt her head slightly.
She vaguely guessed something.
However, being as loyal as she is, she would only choose to obey her superior's orders on such matters. Whatever the superior says is what it is.
Just a little awareness of a loyal wingman.
…
Wang Jixuan changed into a light cyan practice suit and took the initiative to find Shao Lao's courtyard.
Yin Lin was indeed here too, sitting in a wheelchair, talking animatedly.
Shao Lao sat aside with a smile, holding a cup of tea in his hand, with an incense burner placed not far away, looking relaxed and carefree.
When Wang Jixuan arrived at the courtyard gate, the gate opened by itself, and Shao Lao greeted from inside: “No need to be formal, just be casual here, come in quickly.”
Wang Jixuan still made a Daoist salute, adhering to the etiquette of a disciple, and deliberately appeared a little restrained after entering.
Yin Lin laughed: “Haha! News came from over there that the three big mushrooms you left behind killed several more Dark Cultists! We won a great victory in this ambush against the Dark Cultists!”
Wang Jixuan nodded with a smile.
He was vaguely worried that if the nuclear bombs he left behind affected the ecology of the Qiyu Realm, would it generate extra karma.
In this regard, the Heavenly Dao doesn't care about the life or death of living beings, only whether the world is affected.
“Don't give me extra contributions,” Wang Daochang said sincerely, “Cultivation resources are still more reliable when earned by hand. My little squad will earn contributions later.”
Yin Lin said: “Okay, I'll arrange it for you… That demonic beast you raised, why does it look so strange to me? It has a human air about it.”
“She was originally human, but she sacrificed in the battle with the demonic beasts. By chance, her remnant soul seized the remnant body of that demonic beast, and that's how she became a demonic cultivator.”
“Oh? So that's how it is.”
Yin Lin said solemnly:
“In that case, she is also a righteous person. Her strength is not bad. Later, I can arrange a candidate title for her and your disciple, so that you can do some simple errands.”
“Thank you, Tangzhu.”
“Hey, it's a small matter, a small matter. You will learn from Shao Lao in the future, and you will be Shao Lao's registered disciple. It just so happens that I am also Shao Lao's registered disciple. You and I are also fellow disciples, ah ha ha ha!”
Yin Lin raised his eyebrows at Wang Jixuan.
Wang Daochang, how could he not know the good intentions of this Tangzhu, took the opportunity to get up and salute: “Disciple is willing to follow the teacher to practice and learn!”
“Good.”
Shao Lao personally helped Wang Jixuan up.
This apprentice acceptance ceremony, which was disturbed by 'Heavenly Eyes Opening', was finally completed.
Shao Lao said solemnly: “Now accepting you as a registered disciple is not because your aptitude is not good enough or your blessings are not deep enough, but because I am not sure whether you will soar into the sky after entering the Immortal Realm. Therefore, I can only accept you as a registered disciple, so as not to become an obstacle to your future opportunities and blessings. Later, I will teach you the Immortal Realm's weapon refining method and guide you in some cultivation methods.”
“Thank you, teacher!”
Wang Daochang's heart was also a little excited.
Shao Lao changed the subject: “The matter of the Heavenly Dao's attention has been reported to all the Daluo and Taiyi of Tianluo. Everyone is discussing it, but it is estimated that nothing will come of it… Tianluo has nine departments, one of which is the Qingtian Mirror, but unfortunately, after the fall of the last generation's chief Daluo of the Qingtian Mirror, no one can directly accept the Heavenly Dao's instructions.”
Wang Jixuan nodded lightly, recording all this information.
Maybe it will come in handy one day.
“Teacher,” Wang Jixuan asked, “Disciple has many things about the Immortal Realm that I don't understand, may I ask the teacher?”
“Just speak.”
Shao Lao waved his hand gently, and a pile of immortal fruits appeared on the table.
Immortal fruits are originally objects of the Immortal Realm. When they arrive in this True Realm with low spiritual energy concentration and weak quality, they immediately began to emit white mist.
Before Wang Jixuan could move his mouth, Yin Lin had already leaned over from the side, grabbing with glowing eyes.
Shao Lao glared at Yin Lin fiercely.
Yin Lin pretended he didn't see it, and soon stuffed his mouth full, comfortably letting out a groan.
Daochang smiled and took two cherry-shaped fruits from the side. This immortal fruit was very sweet, and the entire Dao body was activated, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy skyrocketed, and the rich immortal spiritual energy contained in the fruit directly began to strengthen Wang Jixuan's Yuan Shen and Dao body.
This is the benefit of cultivating in the Immortal Realm.
Some immortal fruits can allow cultivators in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm to produce obvious benefits in improving their cultivation.
— Wang Jixuan didn't know that these fruits brought by Shao Lao were not something ordinary cultivators could eat in the Immortal Realm.
Wang Daochang was not the type to eat alone. He left two bunches of grapes and sent them back to Amina and Xia Huating first, and also instructed them to leave a few more for Zheng Shi.
After that, Wang Daochang sat back in front of Shao Lao and began to accept the Immortal Realm's weapon refining method.
The cultivation methods of the Xu Realm all originate from the Immortal Realm.
Those immortal teachers who preach in the Xu Realm — for example, the ancestor of Wangxian Valley who passed down the Qingping Art — have a more common name in the Immortal Realm.
Missionary.
The Missionary is one of the three immortal positions of the Ascension Platform, and the other two are the Immortal Reception Envoy and the Altar Guard Envoy.
The Ascension Platform and the immortal positions of the Ascension Platform are all under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao.
The various forces each occupy a different number of Ascension Platforms, monopolizing the cultivators who ascend from the lower realm, so they will all follow the rules set by the Heavenly Dao.
Therefore, the weapon refining method that Wang Jixuan is learning at this moment is essentially the same path as the weapon refining path he has taken before, which is equivalent to obtaining the advanced method.
After discovering this problem, Wang Jixuan decisively asked whether his Qingping Art had a sequel.
Shao Lao pondered slightly, and then asked Wang Jixuan to learn the weapon refining method for the time being. Later, he would take the Qingping Art to the Immortal Realm to find the force that spread the Qingping Art.
“This way, if I can find the ancestor of your Dao lineage, I will let him come over and personally guide your subsequent cultivation.”
Wang Jixuan: …
Shao Lao did not forget to remind:
“The Dark Sect and my Tianluo are both major forces in the Immortal Realm, detached from worldly affairs.”
“Although we don't ask about worldly affairs, all forces will give us some face.”
“Your Wangxian Valley ancestor is just a missionary of one party, and his strength will not be too high. If he is still alive, you must remember not to be too respectful, otherwise it will be a joke if it is passed back to the Immortal Realm.”
Wang Jixuan: …
Ah, this?
His ancestor, ah, that is.
Shao Lao seemed to see Wang Jixuan's thoughts and said with a smile: “The ancestor of all laws lies in Qi, and one Qi evolves into the five elements. They all respect the ancient power Yuanshi Tianzun as the ancestor.”
The newest and most complete novels are all on 69shu.com!
“Hey, good.”
Wang Jixuan nodded in agreement.
His mentality was still a bit unable to change for a while.
But soon he put these behind him.
There was no other reason. The advanced skills of weapon refining that Shao Lao taught were like a thunderbolt from the blue, opening the door to a new world for him.
The most important thing is that the core circuit can continue to be optimized!
As his strength continues to improve and his weapon refining skills continue to accumulate, the core circuit can be more perfect, and the strength of the spirit refiner may be raised to a higher baseline!
The wonder of this way is wonderful beyond words.
…
There is no Jiazi in the mountains, and cultivation does not count time.
Shao Lao arrived in the Youbao Realm to teach and protect Wang Jixuan, and in the blink of an eye, it was more than ten months.
Wang Jixuan spent more and more time with Shao Lao, and even simply retreated with Shao Lao.
Messages kept coming, both good and bad.
First of all, their team collectively brushed tasks and gained a lot of benefits.
Indeed, as Wang Jixuan said, as long as they went to take on tasks, they were always small tasks. They didn't spend much time going, and there was no danger on the return trip. Not only could they cleverly avoid the killing grounds of the Tianluo crowd and the Dark Cultists, but they could also get some extra rewards in addition to some contribution points each time.
For example, some spiritual medicines, immortal herbs, or precious materials and beautiful jade.
Some information from Earth has also been sent over.
The time flow on the two sides is slightly different. Wang Jixuan's side is a bit slower, probably due to the influence of gravity on the curvature of space-time? Wang Jixuan wasn't too clear about this.
Roughly, one hundred hours pass here, while one hundred and fifty hours pass on Earth.
As for how to return to Earth, Wang Jixuan had already found a way.
He only needed Yin Lin to approve a note, and he could activate the Myriad Realms Teleportation Array and rush back to the Immortal Forbidden Land where he originally was.
However, according to the news from Tian Luo, Dark Cultists had been deploying and wandering in the Immortal Forbidden Land where Earth was located.
It would be impossible to return to Earth in a short period of time.
The Heavenly Dao asked Wang Jixuan to help cultivate the peony, but there was no progress on this matter.
It wasn't that Wang Jixuan didn't try hard, but Yin Lin's side was too cautious and hadn't agreed to expand the territory in the Youbao Realm.
Therefore, he had no way to let the peony plant the seeds of mechanical civilization.
For the sake of caution, Wang Jixuan couldn't say that this was requested by the Heavenly Dao, so he could only wait for an opportunity and find a suitable reason.
Wang Jixuan would occasionally couldn't help but complain to the peony.
Was there a cultivator as strange as him?
Engaging in cultivating immortals in a technological civilization like Earth;
Engaging in technology in a place of cultivation like the Youbao Realm.
There really was no one else like him.
In these dozen or so months, because Wang Jixuan was immersed in refining weapons and cultivation, the number of times he met Amina was very few, and each time it was a team meeting to make a summary report.
Amina didn't care about this. She had a long life, and her nature was essentially indifferent.
Wang Jixuan also seemed to have forgotten the agreement between the two.
He needed to become stronger.
He needed to become stronger in all aspects.
Wang Jixuan vaguely felt that this peace was destined to not last too long.
Tian Luo was constantly bringing news from the Immortal Realm. When Yin Lin discussed and inquired about some things with Elder Shao, Wang Jixuan could mostly hear it.
Some changes seemed to have occurred in the Immortal Realm.
An Immortal Palace suddenly collapsed and fell from the Nine Heavens, emitting billowing black air, suspected to be the cave abode of an ancient mighty figure, but it was filled with ominous things.
A large force suddenly had three Golden Immortals break through overnight, but all of them went into Qi Deviation during the breakthrough process, one died and two were seriously injured.
The Crystal Palace of the Ancient Dragon Clan seemed to be about to appear in the world. The creatures in the four seas of the Immortal Realm were restless. A large number of dragon species began to accelerate their cultivation, and three inches of immortal liquid appeared in the Dragon Transformation Pond, which had been dry for many years.
The bright red immortal liquid seemed to be the dragon blood that had lost its spiritual power.
And so on.
Wang Jixuan didn't actually understand all kinds of news, but he could feel Yin Lin and the others' worries and uncertainties.
Something big was about to happen in the Immortal Realm, but no one could say exactly what it was.
On this day, Elder Shao called Wang Jixuan to his side and instructed, "An Immortal Realm treasure needs me to refine it, which will take about three months. This clone of mine will sleep here, and you must take good care of yourself."
"Yes, teacher, please rest assured, this disciple will never neglect cultivation."
"Good."
There was a lot of emotion in Elder Shao's eyes.
He slowly said, "Your talent in the Dao of Refining Weapons is several times higher than your talent in the Great Dao of Cultivation. You are a natural master of refining weapons. All that is lacking is time to grow."
"Ah, thank you for your praise, teacher."
Wang Jixuan almost blushed.
Elder Shao shook his head: "What I am worried about now is whether you still have this time. The Great Tribulation is coming, the Great Tribulation is coming... Forget it, let's not mention this matter. Before I start refining the treasure, I will ask if the messenger of the Qingping Technique has been found. If he has been found, I will arrange for him to come and teach you cultivation."
"Thank you, teacher."
Wang Jixuan could only repeat his thanks.
Elder Shao waved his hand with a smile, and his clone bowed his head and fell asleep.
Daoist Wang took a few steps back, left the room, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Just right, he would go find the peony to tinker with, design a brand new body for the peony. Anyway, as long as he didn't touch the peony's core chip or the peony's system, there shouldn't be any problems.
Daoist Wang had only taken two steps, and hadn't even left Elder Shao's courtyard's array barrier when his spiritual sense suddenly jumped slightly.
Dang—
A bell rang, slowly spreading from the northwest corner of the Tianluo camp.
