To be precise, it wasn't demonic energy, but a kind of... a kind of...
Wang Jixuan couldn't quite describe it either.
This sudden burst of aura was very weak. To call it demonic energy was too wicked, to call it immortal energy was not up to par. It was somewhat like the state of a grass or tree spirit before attaining enlightenment, or perhaps another type of power that Wang Jixuan had never encountered.
He suppressed the suspicion in his heart and continued upstairs, actively probing with his spiritual sense.
Inside .'s music studio;
Gao Huating, wearing home clothes and playing an electronic keyboard, was humming a soft tune.
The notes she played were transmitted to the receiving devices on each floor of the fortress through the broadcasting tower set up inside the fortress.
Wang Jixuan had previously discovered that this underground diva, ., was actually cultivated by the fortress officials to give the residents some encouragement.
Because the fortress laws explicitly prohibited entertainment activities in order to save the already scarce per capita resources in the fortress era, she was an 'underground' diva.
Apart from this, Gao Huating had no other special characteristics.
However, the source of this faint spiritual energy fluctuation tonight was clearly Gao Huating.
Wang Jixuan returned to the room, lay on the bed, and closed his eyes to rest, carefully observing Gao Huating with his spiritual sense.
'Strange, her soul is unharmed, her body is healthy, she is just an ordinary human.'
A few minutes later, Gao Huating's singing stopped, and the faint spiritual energy fluctuation also quietly dissipated. She said in her sweet voice:
"Hope is like the starlight in the night. Although it may be obscured by dark clouds from time to time, we can always see that little starlight when we wait patiently and search carefully."
"The next song is dedicated to the hero Black Storm in the fortress."
"Everyone who can face the current life and make their own contribution to social development is a hero of this era, and also my hero."
She quickly took a sip of warm water with a straw, turned on the projection screen next to her, looked for accompaniment, and picked up the microphone.
Accompanied by the intense drum beats, Gao Huating swayed her body lightly, and when she opened her mouth, she was full of high-spirited fighting spirit, and her eyes became very sharp...
"Oh? Changed style?"
Wang Jixuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Soon, he noticed a little bit of spiritual energy gathering towards Gao Huating again.
What exactly is this?
Wang Daochang put his hands behind his head and gradually fell into contemplation.
The cultivation of various creatures in the cultivation world, asking immortals, seeking demons, chasing evil, transforming into demons, is not like this.
'The system of spiritual cultivators?'
'It's useless to guess so much. Let's observe this neighbor more later.'
Wang Jixuan dismissed the idea of reporting this matter to Fu Jian.
First, he was not Fu Jian's subordinate, so he didn't need to report everything to Fu Jian.
Secondly, Gao Huating's singing always carried a kind of power that could soothe people's hearts. She herself didn't do anything evil, and actively sang for everyone. If she was inexplicably arrested for research, her mentality might collapse.
'That's right, her singing can soothe people's hearts. Is it also related to this situation tonight?'
Wang Daochang smiled dumbly and thought to himself:
'This spiritual energy fluctuation is pure, upright, and peaceful, without any hostility. In all likelihood, it's not a bad thing. Maybe it's really the beginning of human spiritual energy awakening, and she is some kind of natural holy body for cultivation.'
He stretched his waist, observed the situation in the third-floor warehouse with his spiritual sense for a while, and found that the No. 4 spiritual cultivator was already talking happily with Shen Qionglin.
The stone slab wall began to absorb spiritual energy (spiritual energy) from the air again.
Wang Jixuan set up a formation and sat in meditation, sighing in his heart, wondering when his mountain protection formation plan would be completed, and planning the alchemy matters for tomorrow.
Before long, he began to enter a shallow meditation.
When Gao Huating returned to the residential building at night, Wang Jixuan even thought about whether to 'formally get to know' her and take the opportunity to investigate the abnormality in her body at close range.
But Wang Daochang looked at the time...
It was almost dawn.
Gao Huating's personality was simply the two extremes with Doctor Wei Na. If a man suddenly stopped her, it was estimated that she would scream and run away.
Let's talk about it later;
It also depends on whether she has other abnormalities. Simply this current situation does not need too much attention.
...
Fu Jian left in a hurry just after dawn to rush to the front line to assign tasks and deploy the battle line.
Mu Dan returned to Wang Jixuan's residence at two o'clock in the morning. When she saw Wang Daochang was cultivating, she tiptoed to the corner and knelt down.
Early the next morning.
Shen Qionglin took the documents prepared overnight and waited at the door of the dormitory early.
Wang Jixuan woke up from meditation, asked Mu Dan to make two breakfasts, and called Shen Qionglin in.
"You are quite active."
"I have to actively report my work to the organization," Shen Qionglin shrugged.
She specially dressed up today, changed into a brand-new white coat, and wore a slim-fitting black turtleneck sweater inside, plus a pair of black trousers.
Although Shen Qionglin was petite, her proportions were also excellent.
She said with a smile: "It turns out that spiritual cultivators are really not gods, as you said, nor are they god-level civilizations. They are just more powerful than us humans in terms of energy utilization. This is accumulated by the development time."
"Sit down, don't be too restrained."
Wang Jixuan closed the spirit release array, deducted the used crystal cores in the spirit release array next to him, and threw these crystal cores into the trash can next to him.
He simply said: "Let's make a long story short, I will be very busy these days."
"Yes, I know, alchemy."
Shen Qionglin handed over the folder, like a college student reporting semester homework to a tutor:
"The first page is a summary of the extraction, you can just read it, I will introduce it to you here."
"The spiritual cultivators have very tight mouths. I used a lot of methods, and not a bit of information about their core interests was revealed."
"However, in the process of chatting with him, I inquired about a few more important questions."
"First, the special blade beast holding the scepter and controlling the beast language user is called Jialiluo by the spiritual cultivators. There are about seven Jialiluo on Earth. Their priority of ruling the blade beast group is second only to the pillar-level blade beasts."
"Second, there is a high probability that there is a star gate on the side of the No. 5 pillar-level blade beast. It is the teleportation array created by the spiritual cultivator civilization. That is the path they took to get here."
"Space is a wasteland for blade beasts."
"They are still relying on various relics left by the spiritual cultivator civilization to teleport. In addition to fighting and destructive power, they are not good at building."
"This actually foreshadows that the blade beasts may really want to cultivate a group of humans to inherit the spiritual cultivator civilization and become vassals of the blade beast civilization."
"Third, almost all the weaknesses that blade beasts can be used have been corrected by the blade beast self-evolution mechanism. This is bad news."
Shen Qionglin gasped.
Wang Jixuan asked: "What about the weakness of this Jialiluo?"
"They are equivalent to extremely powerful telekinetic spiritual energy users. Their bodies are relatively fragile. As long as they can find their location and use space weapons to snipe them at a fixed point, it is possible to kill them directly."
"Space weapons?"
"Space laser cannons, etc., are said to be very expensive."
Shen Qionglin shrugged:
"I am not an expert in this area, so I don't know about this. I will continue to report."
"Fourth, the spiritual cultivators inadvertently revealed a few messages."
"For example, they deliberately made some reservations about the infusion technology they gave to the Six Elders, and did not give the pre-program. The complete infusion technology should first carry out the early transformation."
Shen Qionglin pointed to the flashing symbol on her body:
"It should be similar to this. This is the direction I want to study."
"The number of spiritual cultivators is already small. In their heyday, a small number of spiritual cultivators ruled a large number of spiritual slaves. It is said that there were many, many planets and countries."
"If it is their peak period, even without suffering heavy losses, they should be an SSS-level existence, and an awakened SSS-level existence that can independently fight against the current pillar-level blade beasts."
"This is also why the pillar-level blade beasts that are chasing them are twelve in number, twice as many as them."
"However, this is what he said himself, and he may be boasting."
"The pillar-level blade beasts do have many shortcomings, but each shortcoming requires the awakened Six Elders, such a powerful spiritual energy user, to have the opportunity to trigger it."
Wang Jixuan nodded lightly and put the folder aside.
He directly asked: "What is the current state of the three spiritual cultivators on the Six Elders' side?"
"It is said that the three of them are in the best condition and are recovering the fastest."
Shen Qionglin simply said:
"We all know that there are three thermonuclear warheads in the Six Elders' residence. Once detonated, the entire Silence Ball will directly perish."
"But during my conversation with the No. 4 spiritual cultivator last night, I suddenly thought of something."
"The stone slab can be teleported to transport people to the subspace they created. If the warhead is detonated, the Six Elders are sent into the stone slab at the moment the nuclear bomb is detonated, and the stone slab is preserved by the spiritual cultivators."
"The Six Elders may not die."
Wang Jixuan frowned slightly: "Did No. 4 say this personally?"
"No, I guessed it. Maybe there will be some restrictions."
"Maybe the Six Elders really hid this move."
Wang Jixuan sat there thinking carefully:
"Report this matter directly to the Commander-in-Chief. Mu Dan has the contact information there."
"Is there any other news?"
"It's all in the document, there is no other valuable news."
Shen Qionglin simply said:
"He gave me a little technology, which is to make up for the shortcomings of my own spiritual energy awakening."
"He also frantically hinted to me that as long as I can take him out of here, he can give me power even stronger than the Six Elders."
"I actually don't understand a bit. What makes him think that everyone else is foolish, greedy, and can be manipulated by his few words?"
Wang Jixuan smiled without saying a word.
Mu Dan had already returned to the room with two buckets of instant noodles.
A thought flashed through Wang Daochang's mind, and he immediately had an idea.
“Next, Professor Shen, you'll be responsible for fooling this guy. I have a little suggestion for you.”
“Please, speak,” Shen Qionglin said without any ceremony, taking the instant noodles and slurping down a couple of mouthfuls. “My academic attitude right now is to be obedient and listen, waiting to pick up the scraps of your wisdom.”
Mudan clicked her tongue. “That description is a bit disgusting, especially while eating.”
Wang Jixuan smiled and said, “What is Number Four most afraid of right now? The Beast Speaker is about to attack. So, why don't we put on a show? We can make up some fake battle reports to fool him. His effective sensing range is limited. We can use a few hundred actors to create the illusion that we are about to be breached. See if he can spill any technology.”
Shen Qionglin squinted and smiled. “You're so bad.”
Mudan added simply from the side, “But you like it?”
“No way,” Shen Qionglin said, slurping noodles, rarely making a joke. “I'm just saying what I feel. I wouldn't dare challenge Commander Ling Tong's destruction cannon… although she probably couldn't beat me in a one-on-one fight right now.”
A question mark slowly appeared above Wang Jixuan's head.
How did it get to Ling Tong?
What's going on?
… …
Gao Huating showed abnormalities.
Number Four Spirit Cultivator began to drop gold coins outwards.
The special points in Fortress 76 continued to increase.
Wang Jixuan didn't have time to worry about these things for the time being. He had just caught his breath before he threw himself back into the intense and chaotic great cause of alchemy.
He originally thought of helping the top combat power of the D5 Comprehensive War Zone stabilize their souls and maintain their brain activity little by little.
But Fu Jian and the others were too impatient.
There was no way around it. D5 was facing immense pressure.
The main source of pressure was always the Blade Beasts, followed by the ruling faction of the Spirit Energy Capital.
Daoist Wang thought it through:
Anyway, helping these high-ranking officials and top-tier combat power can indirectly protect mortals. It won't be a bad thing in any case, and you don't have to bear any karmic burden or suffering.
He worked hard to refine pills for three days, and eighty-one Crane Origin Pills were continuously sent to various war zones. Thirty of these Crane Origin Pills were sealed and stored as extremely valuable strategic resources.
With the blessing of these eighty-one Crane Origin Pills, Fu Jian's back was straighter than ever before!
However, the outside world does not yet know about the Crane Origin Pills.
The entire human world is now being moved by several pieces of news released by the D5 Comprehensive War Zone.
[Seven Half-Human Mecha Exclusive Mechas Successfully Encircled and Suppressed a King-Level Blade Beast.]
[The D5 Comprehensive War Zone was attacked by Spirit Energy Cultivators of the Beast God Sect. The Spirit Energy Cultivators of the Beast God Sect accepted the Blade Beast transformation and possessed powerful power, causing a large number of losses to the D5 Comprehensive War Zone.]
[Fu Jian, the last hero of the Fortress Era, questioned the Spirit Energy Capital's ineffective supervision and internal chaos.]
[The Commander-in-Chief of the D7 War Zone stated that the Spirit Energy Capital should accept the joint supervision of the Nine Comprehensive War Zones to prevent the Beast God Sect incident from happening again.]
And so on.
Fu Jian is gradually launching an attack on the Spirit Energy Capital. The entire plan is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the Beast God Sect has become the best political excuse.
The Nine Great War Zones have also begun to show a division of positions, namely the 'Spirit Energy Faction', the 'D5 Faction', and the 'Neutral Faction'.
Now, the D5 Comprehensive War Zone has begun to fully shift to military affairs and enter a stage of full combat readiness. Some fortresses have activated protocol soldiers and begun to recruit a large number of temporary combat personnel in the lower city, and conduct certain military literacy training.
Outside the D5 War Zone, new groups of King-Level Blade Beasts are moving rapidly underground.
It is estimated that in more than half a month, up to eleven groups of King-Level Blade Beasts will appear outside the D5 Comprehensive War Zone.
Correspondingly, there is also some good news. The King-Level Blade Beast groups are converging towards D5, greatly reducing the pressure on the three nearby Comprehensive War Zones, and the counterattack against the Blade Beast occupied areas has achieved initial success.
Next, as long as the D5 Comprehensive War Zone can hold on, humanity will be able to achieve success on a broad front.
But what Fu Jian and Wang Jixuan are thinking about is not just holding on.
They want to fight out.
Just as Wang Jixuan was concentrating on refining pills:
The promotion of the first three formations of the Seven Star Sword Formation has already been promoted within D5.
The exclusive mechas of the Half-Human Mechas have begun to undergo temporary strengthening and upgrades.
The three terrifying mechas that were sealed were activated again and sent to the area where the Blade Beast groups are about to converge.
What Wang Jixuan found a little ridiculous was…
That Beast Speaker didn't know if it was intentional, or if he simply had no decision-making power. The direction he said at the time only had the original King-Level Blade Beast group. The area where the newly added King-Level Blade Beasts gathered was on the northeast line of the D5 Comprehensive War Zone.
The battle lines cannot deceive people, and the mobilization of a large number of Blade Beasts also takes time.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for them to suddenly jump out of a certain area out of thin air.
In order to deal with the upcoming war and the threat of the Beast Speaker;
After Wang Jixuan finished refining the pills, he cultivated for several days and finally made a decision that violated his Patriarch's teachings.
Use the means of cultivators to directly help the Buddha Hall squad improve their strength!
It is impossible to pass on the Dharma.
Wang Jixuan would not consider any method that was not under his control and might allow Spirit Energy Cultivators to master and utilize their own 'Mottled Qi'.
In the current situation, he can only use some demonic quick-success methods.
This way, even if something happens, it will not damage the prestige of his Wangxian Valley.
If his concept can be successfully realized this time, not only will the strength of the Buddha Hall squad be greatly increased, but the day of Red Serpent's transformation will also be greatly advanced.
So, at noon on the eighth day of this preparation, Wang Jixuan set up the [Blood Refinement Shura Formation] in the surface hangar, signaled Red Serpent to wait aside, and had Zheng Shiduo, Ji Xiao, Ji Yale, and the other eight people step forward in turn.
“Don't be afraid, chant Buddhist scriptures and maintain your true nature. The reason I had you study Buddhist scriptures so hard before was actually for today.”
