Blade Beasts can exist for a long time without eating or drinking, as they don't even have a complete respiratory system and rely entirely on spiritual energy for survival;
And as long as they find an opportunity;
For example, if the population in this starry sky increases to a certain extent, the Blade Beasts can make a comeback.
They gain spiritual energy through slaughter, and when spiritual energy is sufficient, they can rapidly proliferate.
In today's occasion, Mu Dan naturally wouldn't spoil everyone's enthusiasm.
"That's the case; you have a good chance, you know."
Zhou Zhengde laughed, glancing around and asking softly, "Where's that Elder Shao?"
"Elder Shao is resting in a nearby ship," Wu Man replied, "This meeting is for us to discuss our future development plans, so we didn't invite Elder Shao to attend."
Wang Jixuan made a gesture:
"Let's get straight to the point.
"There are three issues today; the first is that I need to transfer a batch of the Mechanical Army.
"No one opposes this, right?"
The group simultaneously shook their heads.
Wang Jixuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "The second issue is relatively simple, just to tell you all that once we leave this Star Domain, it will take at least a hundred years for us to return."
The crowd fell silent.
The Spirit Cultivators already have long lives;
For ordinary people, a century is but an instant.
Shen Qionglin laughed: "I should still be alive when you return."
"Certainly," Wang Jixuan murmured a few times, "And the third issue is to determine our subsequent development plans."
The move of Three Realms Wanderer, Wang Jixuan wouldn't elaborate much on.
He simply stated his idea—to imitate the Moon God Palace and strike step by step from the Endless Starry Sky to the Immortal Realm, establishing power there.
"What the enemy lacks and we possess is our advantage."
Wang Jixuan said:
"Our current biggest advantage is the Mechanical Body centered around Mu Dan. In the future, we must continue with mechanical cultivation. If this path can be mastered, it will undoubtedly have a major impact on the Three Realms.
"Additionally, regarding my Core Circuit technology, I've decided on mass production.
"But this is only after we've found a base and established ourselves."
Shen Qionglin raised his hand and asked, "Why not directly develop our forces in this Star Domain?"
"It may attract the Dark Sect Heavenly Dao's attention."
Wang Jixuan said:
"I'm somewhat partial and have feelings for Earth, so I'd prefer not to involve the civilians here.
"It might seem a bit double-standard, but it's just a personal bias."
The Daoist gave a calm smile; the crowd smiled wryly.
Zheng Shiduo stroked his chin, muttering: "If we venture out alone, it might be easier to remain hidden, developing our forces might instead be a hindrance."
"We need to make it so that we can't easily proceed."
Wang Jixuan said seriously:
"There are two reasons for this.
"Firstly, to set up a target for the Dark Sect Heavenly Dao, effectively preventing Earth Civilization from becoming their target of attack.
"Secondly, to demonstrate our greater value to Heavenly Net Heavenly Dao. We need to find ways to bind ourselves mutually with them.
"Going it alone, we wouldn't be able to take on many tasks issued by the Heavenly Dao.
"Heavenly Net is also a thorn in the side of the Dark Sect Heavenly Dao, but both exist and thrive in the Immortal Realm, don't they?"
Zheng Shiduo slowly nodded.
The gathering had no more doubts.
With Wang Jixuan's explanation, their objectives became very clear.
—To develop a faction, gain Heavenly Net Heavenly Dao's protection, oppose the Dark Sect Heavenly Dao, and incidentally use mechanical cultivation techniques to give the Cultivation World a little shock.
Wang Jixuan said, "Is there anything else unclear to anyone? Feel free to speak."
Gao Huating raised her hand: "Teacher, should I learn some knowledge about mechanics?"
"No need for you; your cultivation path holds great promise."
Amina asked, "Do we need to recruit more Spirit Cultivators? Recently, there has been a group of Spirit Cultivators, having heard of the Blade Beast Civilization's defeat, returning from beyond the Star Domain, about forty or fifty people."
Wang Jixuan shook his head: "What good are these deserters? We need elite fighters who can handle pressure, not those who will hold us back."
Nierdamon said in a resonant voice, "Can I, after settling matters here, come to find you all? I want to see more of the world after the Blade Beasts are defeated."
"You are welcome at any time."
Wang Jixuan spread his arms wide:
"You're an excellent warrior, and also quite a remarkable vanguard general.
"We should need talents like you in the future!"
Wu Man hesitated to speak.
This young man clearly also wanted to follow Wang Jixuan, but the Earth Civilization's Spiritual cultivation forces needed his command.
Only the status of a direct disciple of Black Storm could suppress others.
"Wu Man, you can come along with Nierdamon when the time comes."
Wang Jixuan proactively suggested, bringing an immediate nod of happiness from Wu Man.
Then Master Wang sighed lightly: "Besides this, we need to discuss where to set the first base. I suggest choosing a Xu Realm."
"I suggest starting from the True Realm!"
Zheng Shiduo pointed outside the porthole:
"This time we must mobilize thirty-six subspaces, carrying over six million mechanical bodies; each subspace can develop into a base, equating to a seed of Mechanical Civilization.
"In three years, we can proliferate; in ten years, we can build ships, and in fifteen, we can directly pacify the world!
"With this setup, at the very least, it should start in the True Realm!"
Yet Gao Huating noted, "We absolutely cannot overlook the battle prowess of Immortals. In the Xu Realm, few Immortals are active, but in the True Realm, there are Immortal Avatars. Our weapon systems can only harm Cultivators at the Unification Realm and below."
Mu Dan also said, "If a True Immortal comes along causing constant destruction, we would indeed be in a passive position."
Zheng Shiduo pointed to Wang Jixuan: "Our Wang here also has a True Immortal Realm Puppet."
"And if a Heavenly Immortal comes?"
"Uh, I can force a seven-second taunt."
Zheng Shiduo's voice weakened as he spoke, ending with scratching his head, and everyone smiled wryly.
"Then we'll basically settle it this way," Wang Jixuan rose and said, "Bid each other farewell, Mu Dan, start loading the troops. I'll go find Elder Shao… Elder Shao is already looking for me; he must have something to discuss."
The crowd simultaneously stood up and agreed.
Once Wang Jixuan left, this group immediately began debating fiercely.
Throughout the space station:
Subspace Gates continuously opened; inside was mere land and scenery with lakes, where the mechanicals entered and began to kneel, entering standby mode.
Quite a few mechanical bodies sat cross-legged, hands clasped, playing Buddhist scriptures, adding a somewhat eerie touch.
It's a pity, however, that mechanical bodies lack souls; their chanting cannot generate any Wish Power.
...
"Teacher, were you looking for me?"
Wang Jixuan's main body appeared before Elder Shao.
Engaged in contemplating how to exit the cabin without utilizing the Escape Skill, Elder Shao smiled at the sight and then lightly furrowed his brow.
Elder Shao sized Wang Jixuan up and asked with a frown, "Why has your strength advanced so swiftly? In just three months, how have you improved again? Cultivation shouldn't be rushed."
"Disciple understands," Wang Jixuan cupped his hands, "perhaps this is due to excessive killing, and the Devil Skill absorbing too much Blade Beast Soul Power."
He briefly explained his past hundred days, wandering various places, slaughtering Blade Beasts.
Casually, Wang Jixuan took out a storage ring, containing several pieces of Top-grade Spiritual Stone Jade Marrow, and respectfully handed it over.
"Teacher, these are what the disciple collected from various places in this Immortal Forbidden Land, please kindly accept them."
"Ah!"
Elder Shao smiled, waving his hand:
"I haven't taught you much genuine skill, so how can I accept such valuable items from you?
"Keep them for yourself; consider it a gift from me."
Wang Jixuan smiled wryly and didn't insist further.
Elder Shao motioned for him to join for a stroll; the two walked slowly along the corridor of the spaceship, discussing the latest turmoil in the Immortal Realm.
Heavenly Net and the Dark Sect were still covertly contending, each suffering casualties, yet the conflict wasn't intense, as both sides were accumulating strength.
The Heavenly Dao Stele of the Dark Sect Headquarters had not issued new tasks concerning 'Wang Zheng;' previous unfinished tasks were all nullified;
Heavenly Net secretly dispatched numerous experts to guard the Immortal Spirit Road.
However, they couldn't ensure that some won't slip through the net, so it was decided to add more personnel to secretly protect Wang Zheng.
"Teacher," Wang Jixuan asked, "what exactly is this so-called Infinite Tribulation?"
"Not clear; the end of each epoch of the Immortal Realm is the Infinite Tribulation."
Elder Shao shook his head:
"Let's not discuss this; there's also good news for you."
"What good news?"
"Your Ancestor Master has already been found—the lineage that founded the Qingping Technique. They have dispatched a teacher to guide your cultivation, and you should expect them tomorrow or the next day."
Wang Jixuan's Dao Body trembled.
