“More or less, you guys just returned, and the vibrations started here. I tried to separate the stone slabs, but even after separating them, each slab was still vibrating at a high frequency. Various kinds of light appeared inside, and then all the light began to converge. Number Four hasn't responded since.”
Shen Qionglin explained quickly, following behind Wang Jixuan, who had just gotten off the plane, and hurried into the elevator.
Only Mudan, Wu Man, and Zheng Shiduo actively followed.
The others, upon hearing that it was related to the Number Four Spirit Awakener stone slabs, obediently didn't follow. They needed to rest; this mission had drained most of their energy.
However…
Black Shell looked at the Number Five Spirit Awakener stone slab wall that Wang Jixuan had thrown onto the transport plane, as well as the young girl who looked nervous, and was slightly troubled.
The strange objects stored in the ancient basin's Fortress 76 are becoming more and more numerous.
The importance of this place has, to some extent, almost surpassed headquarters!
The stone slab wall emitted a faint golden light.
That voice sounded in Black Shell's mind again: “Hey you, the flat-headed old man? The one who turned himself into a machine, yes, you!”
“What's up?”
“Send my stone slab over there. Shouldn't you ask me about matters related to Spirit Awakeners?”
“You, wait for orders.”
Black Shell replied impatiently, yawned wearily, turned around, and walked towards the semi-human mechs he had brought out.
“Meeting! What the hell were you guys fighting? If it weren't for Wang Zheng fighting to the death, you'd all be done for!”
“Instructor, this has nothing to do with us! We went to snipe and blew up a bunch of their armored vehicles!”
“Yeah, Instructor! You can't impose your incompetence on us.”
“You're the incompetent one! If you talk nonsense again, I'll take apart your spare parts and let you be 90% modified ahead of schedule, you believe it or not!”
A group of combat chicks (Ji) were laughing and joking.
The Number Five stone slab emitted a cold snort.
This Spirit Awakener's mentality was actually not bad, and he didn't take it to heart, just muttered: “These humans are really stubborn.”
The young girl asked softly: “Sir… can I carry you…”
“No need, they will seek me out when they are confused.”
Number Five stone slab said leisurely:
“We should be more patient with low-level civilizations. They don't understand my power, so they can't fully understand the meaning of my existence. This is normal.”
The girl muttered softly: “But why does it feel like you're saving face.”
Number Five stone slab: …
“Forget that you are also a member of a low-level civilization. I haven't trained you well yet. From now on, your mentality must begin to change. We are not gods, but we also need to look at them with compassionate eyes.”
“Okay, sir, I want to write a letter home, is that okay?”
“Find them.”
…
Fortress third floor, corner warehouse.
Wang Jixuan sensed a residual Qiankun fluctuation before even entering, and secretly thought something was wrong.
A sweep of his spiritual sense revealed Director Chen Wuchou and several old men in white coats, as well as the stone slabs scattered all over the ground.
These hundred or so stone slabs flickered with a faint light.
The blade beast blood in the nearby blood pool still maintained a lot of activity. The demonic energy refined by Wang Jixuan had not been completely used up, and some demonic energy still remained on these stone slabs.
There were also cranes and other things not far away.
Wang Daoshi looked at Shen Qionglin, whose expression was rarely tinged with unease.
“You, messed with him?”
“Messed with him,” Shen Qionglin did not shirk responsibility, “I wanted to study it in depth and observed a lot of interesting data. Just as I wanted to conduct a more in-depth experiment, just as I had some new experimental ideas and inspiration, the abnormality appeared, which is what I said before.”
Zheng Shiduo asked: “What happened to Number Four? What did you do?”
“It's that blood pool, some black energy was added inside. Number Four Spirit Awakener must have been very painful at the time, he was very afraid of this kind of thing.”
Shen Qionglin said simply:
“Removing his threats, bewilderment, and worthless emotional venting nonsense, there are three pieces of valid information.
“One, the poison gas made by Teacher Wang can harm their souls, but other Spirit Awakeners should have circuits to deal with Teacher Wang's methods.
“Two, he did lie to Teacher Wang about some things, and also transmitted information out. He guessed that Teacher Wang was coming to find him at the time, and should be about to take action.
“Three, he has contacted a group of powerful Spirit Energy users, and I will soon be captured back to the Spirit Energy Capital.”
As Shen Qionglin spoke, Wang Jixuan had already squatted in front of those scattered stone slabs.
The Qiankun fluctuation remaining on the stone slabs…
Although the stone slabs had no new damage compared to before, no matter how you looked at it, it seemed like something was missing from these stone slabs.
Wang Jixuan said: “Director Chen, can you piece them together?”
Chen Wuchou said quickly: “Yes! We didn't dare to destroy the scene, so we haven't moved it. Commander-in-chief asked us to wait for you to come back!”
“Piece it together and take a look.”
Wang Jixuan muttered:
“This guy may have escaped using a golden cicada shell, this kind of residual fluctuation… Hmm? What did he say? Second and third points.”
Shen Qionglin repeated it in detail and described the demeanor of the Number Four Spirit Awakener when he said these words.
That was a morbid demeanor, with a kind of pleasure of revenge about to be achieved.
Wang Jixuan frowned and pondered.
Mudan was planning what to eat later to replenish nutrition for her superior, completely ignoring these things.
Zheng Shiduo slapped his forehead: “Damn! I know! Meng Jin and his group were led over by Number Four Spirit Awakener! That bastard plotted against us!”
Wang Jixuan啧ed and said: “I was also careless. I wanted to ask for information about Number Five Spirit Awakener at the time, but was instead plotted against by Number Four.”
“It's just a possibility,” Shen Qionglin shrugged and asked with interest, “It seems that your trip was very exciting, did you get anything good? I can help you research it for free.”
“Yes, let me think about how to tell you.”
Chen Director had already reassembled the stone slabs.
Although it emitted light, these lights were emitted by the stone slabs themselves and were not integrated.
Wang Jixuan used his spiritual sense to investigate and quickly noticed a difference.
The Number Four Spirit Awakener's stone slab no longer had that hidden Qiankun feeling.
This wall was like it was dead.
Wang Jixuan came to this conclusion.
Mudan said: “Commander, if there's nothing else here, I'll go help you tidy up your residence, you need to rest later.”
Wang Jixuan said: “Okay, go ahead, let Xia Huating wait for me in the studio.”
“Okay, Commander.”
Mudan took off the helmet of the Invisibility Armor, and her golden long hair fell down. This set of simulated skin could even simulate some fine sweat, the details were perfect.
She whispered to Shen Qionglin: “Advance notice, the things the Commander brought back may make Professor Shen extremely excited.”
Excited?
Shen Qionglin smiled noncommittally: “He is already exciting enough for me—I mean in terms of scientific research.”
However, after Wang Jixuan ordered the maid corps to carry down the Number Five Spirit Awakener stone slab and hand over the information they obtained from the secret base to Shen Qionglin, Shen Qionglin did get excited.
The specific performance was:
She kept raising her hand to push the glasses that had already been taken off, her speaking speed became very fast, her thinking began to be very active, and she kept turning around the Number Five stone slab.
“Huh? You actually got another one! Is this cabbage?”
“It's just a small matter,” Wang Daoshi, who had already taken off the X armor, couldn't help but smile, “You will definitely have no shortage of research materials in the future.”
Shen Qionglin turned around and rushed to the operating table in the corner, shouting: “I'm going to look at their promotion experiment materials, this is what I've been looking for!”
Wang Jixuan didn't know how to evaluate it for a while.
The source of the promotion experiment [Spirit Awakener] is here, but she went to study the promotion technology that was castrated by the first three Spirit Awakeners…
Abandoning the root and pursuing the branch, nothing more than this.
The newest novels are on !
The Number Five Spirit Awakener's stone slab emitted a golden light, and that crisp female voice appeared again:
“Number Four actually escaped.”
“Escaped? What do you mean?”
“He moved away from his own sub-space,” the Number Five Spirit Awakener's voice was a bit hesitant, “Generally speaking, Spirit Awakeners will not give up their own sub-space unless absolutely necessary. This is equivalent to our home, and we also have our private collections.”
Her stone slab wall shone a beam of golden light, hitting the Number Four Spirit Awakener's stone slab wall.
The two stone slab walls seemed to establish some kind of connection.
Soon, the Number Four stone slab wall was activated again, and the milky white halo continued to extend outward, covering dozens of square meters. The illusion of waves lapping reappeared.
The white beach, the waves constantly lapping at the beach, the clouds in the distance, the two moons in the sky, these still exist.
Only, that spire disappeared out of thin air.
A wisp of black energy remained in the area where the spire was originally located, which was the demonic energy that the Number Four Spirit Awakener could not resolve.
According to Wang Jixuan's current understanding:
The core circuit is the Spirit Awakener's cultivation method; the spirit energy circuit is the Spirit Awakener's spell.
The Number Four Spirit Awakener did not have a spirit energy circuit to resolve the demonic energy, other Spirit Awakeners may have.
In general, this is actually the limitation of the Spirit Awakening civilization.
“Is there a way to locate him?” Wang Daoshi asked.
“This can't be located unless he takes the initiative to contact me,” Number Five said nonchalantly, “But you also know, I have some grudges with him.”
Wang Jixuan asked puzzledly: “What kind of grudges do you have?”
“How should I say it.”
There was more emotion in Number Five's voice, a kind of sarcasm:
"Old fogeys like him have always tried to suppress the rise of us newcomers, while they themselves, intoxicated by the brilliance of the core circuits, presumptuously demand that we all be as unprogressive as they are."
"And yet, they don't understand technology, nor do they bother to learn it. They simply occupy high positions in our social system and then dictate terms."
"Otherwise, why do you think the Blade Beasts went out of control?"
"Before the Blade Beasts had problems, seven or eight of us newcomers had already warned them that the Gari Nos could switch nodes in the Blade Beast's neural network. Only by clearing out all the Blade Beasts and re-producing them could we ensure a stable cycle for the Blade Beasts. But the council, composed of these old fogeys, felt that the Blade Beasts were creations of our civilization and couldn't possibly possess power exceeding ours. Then, they symbolically killed a few Gari Nos."
"And then, disaster struck."
Wang Ji Xuan then asked, "You have the Blade Beasts mining on different planets. What kind of ore are they mining?"
"My knowledge is not comprehensive, because I didn't obtain very high authority in our civilization."
Number Five said simply:
"The Blade Beasts are weapons of war, responsible for plundering all the resources we need."
"In addition, there are the crystal cores themselves."
"I don't know when it started, but on our homeworld, crystal cores began to be widely used as energy cores, and the spiritual energy in our air is constantly decreasing. The only source of crystal cores is the Blade Beasts."
"As long as the Blade Beasts are spread out, they can self-replicate. In essence, the Blade Beasts are crystal core factories... Actually, there's no harm in telling you, but I don't have concrete evidence. This is just my conjecture."
"Back then, our highest levels were probably using the Blade Beasts to collect souls, the souls of all living beings, to break open the space-time barrier, so that we could step into the realm of gods and become true gods. As for how it was achieved specifically, I didn't pay attention to that. That wasn't the path I chose."
Wang Ji Xuan: ...
So in the end, they were also trying to ascend.
It's just that they took the wrong path to ascension.
"Where could Number Four have gone?"
Wang Ji Xuan pondered, stroking his chin. Suddenly, cheers came from Shen Qionglin's team, obviously they had made good gains.
The Daoist Priest didn't care about that.
The Number Five Spirit Hermit proactively suggested, "If you really want to know, I can contact the other three. Besides going to rely on them, Old Sophie doesn't seem to have any other place to go."
Wang Ji Xuan said, "Didn't he say he and Number Six were good friends?"
"Number Six? According to the numbering you gave, Number Six is Yama."
The Number Five Spirit Hermit was obviously stunned for a moment:
"Number Six's spire has already collapsed. Her core circuit had already begun its cycle of reincarnation. She had a bit of a dispute with us back then, and then decided to self-destruct, releasing the core circuit. Old Sophie and Yama weren't familiar at all."
"Yama said at the time that she had already discovered where the treasure on this planet was hidden. The problem now is that we can't get close; we can only let the core circuit search for it itself."
"No," Wang Ji Xuan said with a look of disgust, "Is Number Four even lying about this?"
Zheng Shiduo sighed, "It's really not easy to not have a single truthful word in his mouth!"
"Forget it, let's not think about it for now. Speculation is useless. We'll deal with things as they come."
Wang Ji Xuan sighed softly:
"A golden cicada shedding its shell, the price this guy paid shouldn't be small. He really is an old swindler... Let's rest first. We'll have a meeting at the studio tonight."
The Number Five Spirit Hermit asked, "Really don't need me to ask them?"
Zheng Shiduo said, "The three of them are hostile to us. They probably won't tell us, right?"
"That's right. Old Sophie probably wouldn't dare to go to them. His little fortune would be directly devoured."
The Number Five Spirit Hermit muttered, then yawned as well, retracting the golden light.
"Take me to your studio too. This place has a stench of Old Sophie. I don't want to be stored here... Take care of my spirit thrall too. Those are my orders for now."
Wang Ji Xuan patted Zheng Shiduo's shoulder: "I'm leaving it to you, the resourceful Captain Zheng. Take good care of our distinguished guest."
"Ah? Me? Okay, I'll try my best to take care of him."
Zheng Shiduo couldn't help but ponder secretly whether his Brother Wang had some intention with this arrangement, and whether he should use his unique skills.
At the same time.
In a certain dark space.
A spire was forcibly embedded in the hard rock layer, and a voice inside constantly murmured.
"Where can I go... Where can I go... Damn it! They didn't kill that devil. He's coming back... Heh heh heh heh... You all die, you bastards all die! Die!"
Strands of black gas slowly spread outward from the spire.
