#484 - Prepare for both situations
Not every civilization has a dignified graveyard like the Ina civilization.
Without the Dao rhythm of the Great Avenue of Time released by the Stones of the Past, no man-made structure can withstand the erosion of time.
This should be inside a natural satellite.
The entrance to the ruins is on the planet's surface, and the ruins themselves are buried in the satellite's strata, which can prevent tomb raiders like Obsidian from entering.
— Obsidian was able to sell this information to the Blade Beasts, so naturally, they tried and failed to get in.
The first thing that entered Wang Ji Xuan's eyes was a broken alloy wall.
The alloy was riddled with holes, as if tiny insects had gnawed countless gaps, and behind it was a vast, dark, collapsed hall.
The Immortal Sense of the Otherworldly Soul Puppet slowly unfolded, and the details inside and outside the ruins came into view.
He quickly gained something, finding two or three spiritual veins that had been mined for a small portion.
This was already a great harvest.
Daoist Wang took out the portable subspace slate, and asked Mudan to deploy mechanical bodies and various machines to begin protective excavation.
Afterward, Wang Ji Xuan strolled toward the ruins of those buildings, walking around and looking for any texts that might exist.
He found some murals.
The artistic works depicted on the murals only had faint traces left, but one could vaguely see that they recorded the scene of this civilization participating in the victory over the Ina civilization.
Did this place decline because of the revenge of the Spirit Cultivators?
Or was it too severely damaged after the decisive battle with the Ina civilization, causing internal and external conflicts to erupt, leading to its demise?
He put his hands behind his back.
The puppet wearing left and right helmets looked a little strange;
and at this moment, his expression still had a bit of sadness, which made him look even stranger.
Buzz, the portable storage ring vibrated slightly.
Wang Ji Xuan took out the Stone of the Past, and a faint light appeared on it. A wisp of lonely soul drilled out of the hole in the Stone of the Past, looking around blankly.
It was the Three Realms Rover, who had been asleep for a long time.
"Where did you bring me to?"
"A ruin whose name I don't know."
Wang Ji Xuan continued to stroll with his hands behind his back.
The Three Realms Rover stared at Wang Ji Xuan's back for a few moments: "Otherworldly Soul Puppet? What's going on with this pressure?"
"Didn't you see what happened outside in the Stone of the Past?"
"I didn't see it," the Three Realms Rover's old face was full of resentment, "I also woke up a few times, but each time my vision was blocked by a thick barrier, and I couldn't detect anything outside at all."
Wang Ji Xuan smiled and briefly introduced the origin of this puppet.
The Three Realms Rover's expression went from surprise to shock, and from shock to numbness, and all the light in his eyes disappeared.
"Alas! I never imagined that this poor Daoist has been searching for six thousand years, tossing and turning in two lifetimes, and it turns out that the Heavenly Dao I yearn for..."
"Stop sighing."
Daoist Wang said with emotion:
"I've tossed and turned through three lifetimes, and the sense of disillusionment is even more severe."
The Daoist raised his hand to invite, and the two lifetimes strolled through the ruins.
Wang Ji Xuan asked: "Do you have any impression of this place?"
"I have some," the Three Realms Rover looked around, "It should be a civilization that originated from the Turin planet, one of the major competitors of the Ina civilization back then. This should be one of their psionic research bases."
The Three Realms Rover raised his hand and gently pushed, and a shallow vortex appeared in the air.
"Look."
The Three Realms Rover pointed to a place not far away.
A huge array began to activate, but the light went out halfway through activation.
"Ah, it's been too long, there are no Stones of the Past here."
The Three Realms Rover shook his head regretfully.
Wang Ji Xuan asked: "You deliberately released the psionic technology back then, right?"
"That's right," the Three Realms Rover smiled triumphantly, "I still understand myself... At that time, I was also afraid that the Ina civilization would become too dominant, leading to the dictatorial rule of the entire star field by the Ina civilization, creating what, one, two, three, four classes of people, that would be continuous karma."
Wang Ji Xuan smiled and said: "So between one-time karma and continuous karma, you chose the former."
"How would I know that the Ina civilization would be so fragile? I failed to ascend, and they actually collapsed, and blamed me for it."
The Three Realms Rover waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to talk about it anymore.
He sighed softly, his eyes full of emotion.
The Three Realms Rover asked: "Let's get back to your side... What are you going to do? The current situation is already extremely complicated, and you have already been targeted by these major forces."
Wang Ji Xuan was silent.
He was constantly thinking about something.
The Three Realms Rover thought for a long time and asked: "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Yes," Wang Ji Xuan's eyes flickered with cold light.
The Three Realms Rover's Adam's apple bobbed up and down a few times, and he frowned and said: "You wouldn't be thinking of swallowing me, would you? This, if you need it, it's not impossible, but my soul power is just a tiny bit..."
"Why would I swallow you?"
Wang Ji Xuan couldn't help but laugh and scolded:
"Isn't the person I trust the most in this world myself? I was thinking, don't just decadently wait for yourself to disappear, sew up a wisp of your soul and continue to shine!"
"You should have said so earlier."
The Three Realms Rover chuckled:
"You guy is really something, you've actually started to exploit your past life!"
"How can you call it exploitation? It's just making the best use of waste."
"Huh?" The Three Realms Rover glared his bull's eyes.
"Cough," Wang Ji Xuan said quickly, "It's... rehire, the meaning of rehire."
"Humph!"
Wang Ji Xuan smiled, and began to pace back and forth, thinking about the layout later.
Indeed, all his current resources combined, if you don't count the Bone Senior in the Stone of the Past, are not worth mentioning in front of ordinary forces in the Immortal Realm.
And his main body's cultivation is only at the Mahayana stage, and although the puppet has the battle power of a True Immortal, it is just a speck of dust in the Immortal Realm.
What can he lay out?
And what can he change?
Actually, there is something.
Back then, the Moon God Palace went all the way from the endless starry sky to the Immortal Realm, so if he created a Sun God Palace, could he replicate such a legendary event?
It's just that he will always be watched by the Heavenly Dao of Tianluo and the Dark Sect, and any actions he takes will probably not be able to hide from their eyes.
From this point of view, the second life of the Three Realms Rover has strategic significance.
"Stop walking, you're making me dizzy."
The Three Realms Rover frowned and said:
"Just tell me what you want me to do, but you have to help me stabilize my soul first, I'll probably dissipate after coming out a few more times, the kind that even a Great Luo Immortal can't save."
"That's simple, I just recently comprehended some Buddhist teachings."
Wang Ji Xuan's Otherworldly Soul Puppet flicked his fingers lightly.
The Black Dragon Otherworldly Soul appeared, and two scales flew out from it, turning into light spots and merging into the Three Realms Rover's forehead.
The Three Realms Rover was immediately wrapped in a glow.
A lotus platform condensed out of thin air, holding up the Rover's figure, and his originally faint soul was rapidly solidifying, looking like it had a physical body.
After a while.
"Just, that simple?"
The Rover checked his own state in disbelief.
Wang Ji Xuan pretended to be profound, shaking his head and swaying his head: "The realm of immortals is beyond what ordinary people can imagine."
The Rover's face was dark, and after holding back for a long time, he couldn't help but give a middle finger.
"Let's talk business! Stop showing off there! If it weren't for a shameless immortal who pointed me to death back then, would I be like this?"
"I haven't thought it through yet, let's discuss it."
Wang Ji Xuan took out a map, asked Mudan to call out the construction diagram of the Three Realms, and began to re-introduce the Moon God Palace to the Rover.
The Rover probably understood.
Wang Ji Xuan's next actions will be inconvenient, and someone is watching every move;
Developing another force can also be considered not putting all your eggs in one basket.
"Actually, it's just constantly upgrading the Spirit Cultivators, right."
The Rover simply summarized:
"I really have to do this, after all, I came up with this thing. Later, I will retreat in Cloud City, and cooperate with Earth civilization to create a civilization that can sweep across the various Sub-Realms and True Realms!"
"It's enough for the Spirit Cultivators to generally upgrade twice."
"It's not that simple."
Wang Ji Xuan reminded:
"Try not to involve Earth civilization as much as possible."
"You're wrong to think that way," the Rover said, "It's not whether you involve Earth or not, but whether Earth civilization has the opportunity to get on this high-speed train of development."
"If you look at it from the level of civilization, your reasoning is valid, but the basic unit of civilization is the individual human being."
Wang Ji Xuan still insisted on his own point of view.
"For ordinary people living on Earth, the present is a rare peaceful society.
"Their civilization level has not yet reached the eve of the birth of collective consciousness, is it too much to ask them to risk their lives for the illusory development of civilization?
"Let Earth go."
The Rover said: "Then I'll cooperate with the mechanical civilization that Mudan created?"
"That's possible."
"Your loyal wingman, and the entire mechanical system she created, is three points more clever than the Spirit Servants of the Ina civilization back then."
"It was just by chance."
Wang Ji Xuan thought of the action of breaking the Blade Beast crystal core that time.
At that time, he was so excited to rub against a little bit of spiritual energy, but now he is seizing two spiritual vein mines here, and he doesn't feel much.
"Then I can leave with peace of mind later."
The Rover showed a tired look: "I don't know how long I can last, I'm really too tired."
"The able are overworked, Shao Lao and the others are also researching the improvement and upgrade of the core circuit. If there is a breakthrough, I will find a way to pass the information back."
The Playboy snapped his fingers: "There's another question."
"Speak."
"If I see any wronged souls that catch my eye, can I grab a few to warm my bed?"
Wang Jixuan's forehead was covered in black lines, and the corner of his mouth twitched frantically.
The Playboy narrowed his eyes: "You wouldn't be concerned about your own personal conduct, would you?"
"I'll hit you!"
Daoist Wang delivered a flying kick, and the Playboy almost exploded apart.
......
Joking aside, it's actually a good move to have the Three Realms Playboy stay behind to build up a second force.
Wang Jixuan put away the Stone of the Past, allowing the Three Realms Playboy to reside in a jade talisman. Later, he only needed to hand the jade talisman to Wu Man, who was staying behind on Earth, and he wouldn't have to do much else.
It was all about saving trouble.
The Daoist then wandered around the ruins a few more times.
He thought he'd be able to find some treasures, but he didn't expect to gain anything except for the spirit vein.
Without the blessing of spiritual power, nothing could withstand the erosion of the Great Dao of Time, and those treasures had all turned to dust.
'Being able to collect a few million spirit stones isn't bad either.'
Daoist Wang comforted himself like this.
Just as he was about to leave first and clear out the Blade Beast swarm in this area, Mudan brought good news.
"Boss, there are about sixty Blade Beast pillar groups converging here from all directions."
Mudan pondered for a few moments:
"Do you want to leave first?"
"Leave? Why leave? Didn't I come out to further weaken the Blade Beast civilization? They're all gathering here for me to beat them up, so I can only accept their kind offer."
"Uh, isn't your puppet's recovery ability relatively poor?"
"That's under normal conditions, not when fighting Blade Beasts."
Daoist Wang perked up:
"I'll go clear out these Blade Beasts on the surface first and recharge a bit!"
"Alright," Mudan asked, "Can we make a promotional video of your battle with the Blade Beasts?"
"Whatever... What's the point of making a promotional video?"
"Hmph, we have to let humans remember who wiped out the Blade Beasts. You can't waste your effort for nothing."
Wang Jixuan gave a thumbs up.
Mudan's petty attitude was really quite similar to his.
......
At the same time.
In a True World not far from the Youbao Realm, at the Dark Church's base.
The fighting outside the Dark Church's base had just subsided.
The Tianluo Sect, which had a slight advantage, had to abandon its favorable situation under the command from the Immortal Realm.
The Myriad Realms Teleportation Array lit up slightly, and more than a dozen figures emerged one after another.
They were all enveloped in the same immortal power.
The leading female immortal had a cold expression, fierce eyes, and a strong aura. Her lips were slightly pursed, revealing an unyielding hatred.
The female immortal said in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist Black Obsidian?"
Black Obsidian, who was looking around, immediately replied, "I'm here, Fellow Daoist, please give your instructions!"
"Yes," the female immortal nodded slowly and said coldly, "My senior brother died tragically at the hands of that evil demon. I will never let this matter rest. However, I'm afraid it will be difficult to accomplish anything with my strength alone. You should garrison here, and I will come to you later for assistance."
Black Obsidian's face was solemn as he bowed deeply: "I am willing to serve the Immortal Master like a dog or horse!"
The seven or eight Spirit Cultivators behind him also bowed deeply.
The female immortal didn't say much. She threw out a jade talisman, summoned the deacon of the Dark Church's branch here, briefly gave a few instructions, and then hurriedly activated the Myriad Realms Teleportation Array, starting to detour back to the Immortal Realm.
When the female immortal was alone, the anger on her face quickly disappeared, replaced only by contemplation and helplessness.
The light red mission was indeed exceptionally dangerous.
'Senior brother, should I avenge you? That place is clearly a tiger's den, a battle between Heavenly Daos. If I enter, I'm afraid it will be difficult to keep my body intact.'
'The karma involved is beyond what a small immortal like me can bear.'
'If Senior Brother had any affection for me, he probably wouldn't want me to take such a risk for him.'
The female immortal kept pondering, and soon she had an idea.
She glanced back.
Thoughts surged in her heart, but in the end, it was just a soft sigh as her figure quickly disappeared into the passage.
That Black Obsidian was destined never to see this True Immortal again.
