Chapter 190: #190 - The Red Snake's Path

“Lights on! Lights on! Stop the music for a second!”

Zhou Zhengde waved his hands excitedly, and the flashing lights in the private room immediately stopped, as several people gathered around, curiously watching.

Wang Jixuan hung up the call and quickly replied to Ling Tong with a message: [In a meeting, will call back later].

— Daoist Master was mainly worried that Ling Tong would see the environment he was currently in, affecting her perception of him as a righteous person.

Afterward, Wang Jixuan looked at Zhou Zhengde curiously.

Before pressing the confirm call button, Zhou Zhengde really thought he was dreaming.

His great-grandmother, his father's own grandmother, had passed away when he was a teenager… how could it be…

The projection screen protruding from Zhou Zhengde's wrist watch flickered slightly, revealing an old woman's face.

Behind the old lady's head were dense instrument lines, and there were obvious mechanical cracks at the connection between her neck and chest.

A cyborg.

And a relatively primitive type of cyborg.

Wang Jixuan's face showed realization.

In Fu Jian's memories, he had seen this old cyborg many times, it seemed to be the first generation cyborg, named Zhang Huanying, a firm classmate, comrade-in-arms, and supporter behind Fu Jian, and one of the founders of the D5 Comprehensive War Zone.

Fu Jian used He Yuan Dan to save his old comrade-in-arms?

Little Fu is quite sentimental.

Zhou Zhengde stammered: "Great, Great-Grandma?"

“Mm…”

The old woman showed a kind smile.

She didn't open her mouth, but a gentle voice had already come out, with a bit of electronic synthesis, and said slowly:

“In the blink of an eye, you've grown so big. I've already heard about your father's death. As a senior technician, he made his due contribution to the cause of human survival, and I am proud of him.

“Zhengde, my genetic successor, I am very happy and gratified to see you again.”

Wang Jixuan: …

Although he didn't quite understand, this old woman named 'Zhang Huanying' had a natural sense of officialdom when she opened her mouth.

Zhou Zhengde held his head high and chest out: “To see you again! I really am!”

He choked up, his eyes a little red.

“Good child.”

Zhang Huanying showed a kind smile: “Are you making your own contribution to the cause of human survival now?”

Sha Man whispered: “Is family chat in the D5 war zone so suffocating?”

Wei Na quickly covered Sha Man's little mouth.

Zhou Zhengde cleared his throat: “Yes, Great-Grandma, I am working hard! I have recently turned to the political direction. In the war with the Blade Beasts, my leg suffered an insignificant injury!”

“I am proud of you, child.”

“This is just following your teachings!”

Zhang Huanying sighed, leaning on the hospital bed, her cloudy eyes with a bit of reminiscence:

“I've been in hibernation for too long this time. Previously, my brain had already irreversibly atrophied… The commander-in-chief said that a young man named Wang Zheng woke me up… He inherited…”

The old woman immediately became alert and did not continue to reveal information.

“Wang Zheng is right next to me!”

Zhou Zhengde took a deep breath and quickly adjusted his state.

He did not take it upon himself to decide, and looked up to ask: “Can you show your face?”

“Of course.”

Zhou Zhengde immediately raised his wrist watch and aimed it at Wang Jixuan.

Daoist Wang nodded calmly, showing a polite smile.

Zhang Huanying looked at Wang Jixuan, her gaze with a warm feeling, she said softly:

“Thank you, young man, I have already seen some of your information. You are a flame, a flower, a guiding star shining above humanity, a response from the vast starry sky to the desolate cries of human civilization. It is our great fortune to have your help. I hope that the journey of human civilization can enter a new stage with your help and guidance, so that we can continue to exist in our home, our homeland, this beautiful planet.

“To be able to wake up from hibernation and see a glimmer of dawn in the long night, this is the greatest happiness for me.”

“The moment I saw you, I could confirm that we have hope to defeat the Blade Beasts and take back our home.”

Wang Jixuan: …

One minute ago: What's so difficult about dealing with a peer of Little Fu's.

One minute later: Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, how is he supposed to respond to this? He can't just recite a poem, can he?

“Well, okay.”

Wang Jixuan glanced to the side, Shen Qionglin and others did not recognize this old grandma, while Wei Na was lowering her head and sneaking towards the door.

Wang Jixuan immediately said: “Doctor Wei Na! Aren't you Zhengde's childhood sweetheart? Do you know this lady?”

Wei Na froze, her face full of smiles, her chest held high, she tugged hard at the hem of her mini skirt, and quickly sat upright on the sofa at the door.

She hurriedly said: “I'm just an ordinary doctor, so there's no need…”

“Oh, my little Wei Na.”

Zhou Zhengde had already turned around, Zhang Huanying's projection was facing Wei Na.

Wei Na raised her hand and tidied her hair at her ear.

“Grandma Zhang, I am so happy that you can regain your health…”

“Heh heh heh heh, the little one's mouth is still so sweet.”

Zhang Huanying smiled kindly, with a few more glimmers in her eyes.

That should be the flashing projection screen in front of her.

“Long time no see, little Wei Na, I still remember the heroic look when you beat Zhengde to tears. You have become a noble and hardworking doctor, and I am deeply touched by your spirit of dedication.

“However, in your personal life, you seem to be going astray.”

Zhang Huanying frowned slightly, her voice still so gentle and peaceful, as if with a guzheng accompaniment.

She sighed softly:

“Child, I don't want to bind you with my traditional and conservative ideas, but behavior that is called open but is actually self-indulgent is just evading your responsibility to the group.

“In order to defeat the Blade Beasts, we should adjust our thinking to the group mode.

“This is not an era where individuality can be fully respected unconditionally. Grandma Zhang doesn't want to preach to you, but we are both women, shouldn't you carefully consider these issues?”

Wei Na immediately nodded: “Yes, Grandma Zhang! I will seriously and carefully consider and overcome all difficulties, and strive to enter the palace of marriage as soon as possible!”

“You are a good child, Grandma Zhang believes that you will make excellent choices with a sense of the big picture, correct values, and a reasonable maintenance of your own personality…”

Wang Jixuan couldn't help but raise his hand to his forehead.

Just then…

“Where is Comrade Wang Zheng? I want to have a simple and cordial exchange with him. I have not fully thanked him for his contribution to mankind.”

“He's here! Eh?”

Zhou Zhengde looked at Wang Jixuan, who had retreated to the wall.

The Daoist Master gave a thumbs up, and then used the fastest hand speed of his life to form a seal, and his body directly drilled into the wave marks that appeared in the cement floor.

Qiankun Wuji, let me go!

Escape!

‘Good Fu Jian, actually repaying kindness with enmity! Using Pindao's elixir to awaken such a terrifying existence!’

Wang Jixuan really broke out in a cold sweat.

This first-generation cyborg is more terrifying than the Supreme Elders in Wangxian Valley who are stuck at a bottleneck and are about to die!

He originally wanted to go back to practice, but he remembered one thing, and took the elevator to the surface barracks.

Stepping out of the elevator, the afternoon landscape of the Sari Desert came into Wang Jixuan's eyes. The sky in the desert is always clear and cloudless, and the breeze blows over the dunes with fine dust, leaving shallow traces like waves.

Wang Jixuan looked into the distance for a while, until several autonomous machines with silver-white bodies raised their hands in salute, then he retracted his gaze.

An autonomous machine took the initiative to inquire:

“Officer Wang Zheng, do you have any orders to issue?”

“Let Mudan come and find me.”

“Understood, officer, your order is the highest priority.”

As Wang Jixuan walked forward, several autonomous machines occupied the four corners around, vigilantly looking in all directions, also making him, who was not very conspicuous, become a little eye-catching.

Huh?

Wang Jixuan's spiritual sense captured a little abnormality.

He remained calm, the sword pellet flew out of his palm, and the flying sword silently unfolded and burrowed into the ground.

If a Foundation Establishment stage Qi Refiner was just learning to control a sword, they probably wouldn't be able to do these tricks.

After walking fifteen steps, Wang Jixuan pointed his sword fingers upwards, and a small cloud of smoke exploded from a sand dune in the distance, and the flying sword poked a foot-long 'scorpion' into the air.

A miniaturized Blade Beast?

The flying sword vibrated gently, and the soul of this small Blade Beast was destroyed.

Wang Jixuan controlled the flying sword and threw the corpse of this small Blade Beast in front of a patrol team on the edge of the camp, and instructed with a voice transmission:

“It should be a new species sent by the Blade Beasts to monitor us, report it immediately.”

The soldiers saluted at the same time, but when they looked up, they didn't see anyone, so they muttered a few awesome words.

Wang Jixuan walked into Red Serpent's new hangar with his hands behind his back.

A large number of shielding instruments have been added here, trying to provide protection for Red Serpent.

Inside the hangar, a sub-king-level Blade Beast, eighteen meters tall, lay on the ground in a slightly enchanting posture, watching a Golden Age soap opera on the projection screen.

The king-level crystal nucleus in her body is absorbing spiritual energy from the air and the earth at all times.

Wang Jixuan wandered to Red Serpent's vicinity, Red Serpent's terrifying mouthparts closed, and a somewhat blurred human face condensed on the petal-shaped conjunctiva.

She took the initiative to communicate with Wang Jixuan with her mind.

The newest and fastest novel is first published on !

“How's the front line? Is Deep Sea okay?”

“It's okay, it's still fighting, the intensity is far less than yesterday.”

Wang Jixuan responded with a voice transmission, with several thoughts flowing through his mind.

That kind of glowing stone is the secret of the Blade Beasts, and now… they also have a Blade Beast.

Although these stones cannot be moved and will shatter at the slightest touch, they can take Red Serpent to the forty-ninth floor.

The difficulty lies in how to let her pass through the narrow path left when the nest was filled.

Wang Ji Xuan briefly described the mysterious glowing stones.

Red Serpent eagerly agreed, "I can cooperate at any time. Just clear the path."

"Shen Qionglin should be researching this later. She'll also be researching spirit-powered mechs. You guys can communicate more."

"That newcomer?"

Red Serpent chuckled.

"She's quite unique and pretty strong."

Wang Ji Xuan carefully examined Red Serpent, the image of Red Serpent being suppressed by that Beast God Sect's S+ spirit-powered user flashed before his eyes.

Jin Gu Gang's special situation gave him some inspiration.

The combination of a human soul, a human body, and a Blade Beast crystal core could actually produce amazing combat power.

Wang Ji Xuan didn't understand the Blade Beast modification method,

nor did he know how spirit practitioners awakened.

But he had…

the demon cultivation transformation method!

The cultivation world had a long-standing enemy: the Demon Realm.

The major sects often joined forces to wipe out the great demons that invaded the human realm. When the Demon Realm invaded, the Demonic Sects and heretical paths usually sat back and watched, and occasionally there were situations where demons and devils joined forces.

What Wang Ji Xuan wanted to use now was the authentic transformation method passed down from the Demon Realm.

But he really couldn't be sure whether it was feasible to use the crystal core's spirit energy to perform the transformation method, and if it was feasible, what kind of results would it produce.

Mana, demon power, spirit energy.

These concepts were essentially the same, all evolutions of [Qi], but there were differences between them.

Cultivators operate according to the circulation of different cultivation methods, comprehend nature, and generate mana;

Demonic creatures absorb the essence of the sun and moon and the essence of nature, transforming into demon power within their demon cores.

The spirit energy produced by the Blade Beast crystal core was actually very similar to demon power. — Wang Ji Xuan initially regarded Blade Beasts as demonic beasts.

Red Serpent was Deep Sea's beloved and closest relative, and also a good friend who fought alongside him. What if cultivating the demon race's transformation technique produced some uncontrollable problems…

"Is there something difficult?"

Red Serpent's voice sounded in Wang Ji Xuan's heart, lazy and relaxed:

"Don't be polite with me, I feel very comfortable just being able to live one more day. It's all thanks to you, or I would have died long ago."

Wang Ji Xuan wasn't a wishy-washy person. He had already made up his mind.

He had to cultivate a few high-end combat forces in the limited time he had.

Wang Ji Xuan said solemnly, "I have a relatively risky experimental project here."

"Hmm? Risky?"

"It's just that I'm not sure if it will work, and I don't know what the consequences will be."

Daoist Wang told the truth, deliberately concealing the effects of the transformation technique.

— He was afraid of giving Red Serpent some expectations, and that those expectations would eventually be dashed.

Red Serpent didn't think much of it and said:

"Don't worry, I can do it. Can it be more peculiar than it is now?

"Recently, everyone has been developing bio-armor around me, wanting me to have the ability to fight against King-level Blade Beasts, but I also have a good idea of my own strength… Alas, Jin Gu Gang from the Beast God Sect was able to defeat me directly…

"If it can make me continue to become stronger, then that would be great."

"Teacher Wang, just tell me what the experiment is!"

"Let me think, how should I make you understand…"

Wang Ji Xuan sat down cross-legged facing Red Serpent and thought carefully.

The transformation method was divided into two types.

The first was for demonic creatures to cultivate on their own, similar to the Void Refinement Foundation Establishment stage of cultivators, requiring the demonic creature to complete the [Demon Body Transforming into Dao Body] on its own, and then transform into a human form.

The cultivation of demonic creatures was originally the accumulation of Dao practice. If they wanted to transform, they often needed hundreds or even hundreds of years of cultivation accumulation.

Although Red Serpent had a crystal core providing spiritual energy within its body, it was still infinitely far away from the Dao Body itself.

The second method was the 'enlightenment' method that almost every sect had, which helped spirit pets transform.

However, the enlightenment method required profound cultivation, at least the Nascent Soul Realm to be able to perform it.

Moreover, Blade Beast transformation? What would it transform into?

A rough image of a ferocious mantis demon appeared in Wang Ji Xuan's mind.

'Well, this should also be a kind of happiness for Deep Sea.'

He pondered quietly, conceiving a transformation method suitable for Red Serpent, a transformation plan that combined formations, enlightenment methods, demon core transformation methods, and the utilization of Blade Beast crystal cores, gradually taking shape in Wang Ji Xuan's heart.

Peony and the black seashell arrived at the same time, and seeing Wang Ji Xuan in contemplation, they didn't dare to rashly step forward to disturb him.

About half an hour later.

Wang Ji Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, his body leaning back slightly.

Red Serpent's transformation should be possible.

D5 Comprehensive War Zone, Northwestern Front.

"Hmm, hmm, hmm ~"

Zheng Shiduo stretched his back and stood behind the glass window on the top floor of a watchtower, using his eyesight to observe the bare mountains in the distance.

Not far behind him, Wu Man sat in the corner, holding a book of philosophy, reading with relish.

Zheng Shiduo muttered, "Uncle Tai said that Teacher Wang got me a pill, but I don't know what it is specifically."

Wu Man didn't even raise his head and said, "Everything Teacher Wang does has a deep meaning."

"Maybe," Zheng Shiduo said with emotion, "It's only been so long, but Teacher Wang is too strong. You said…"

Thump!

Wu Man's eyes suddenly widened, Zheng Shiduo's voice was like hearing it through headphones, suddenly becoming unclear.

He forcefully covered his chest, his forehead covered with cold sweat, got up and leaned against the wall, breathing heavily, and looked up at the direction of the distant mountains.

There seemed to be a figure there, quietly looking down at this place, but Wu Man squeezed his eyes and looked again, but didn't see any figure at all.

"Team… Team Zheng…"

"Huh? What's wrong with you?"

"Hurry… back to camp…"

Wu Man's voice trembled slightly, his eyes rolled back, and he slowly fell to the ground.
