Chapter 168 Insidious VS Cunning
“Is the blade beast a creation of spiritual practitioners?”
"Sorry, I can't answer."
"Are psykers intentionally infused with humans by the spiritual cultivator civilization?"
"Sorry, I can't answer."
"You're kidding us, right?"
"Sorry, I...uh."
The shadowy old man saw the trace of black energy surrounding Wang Jixuan's sword finger and quickly changed his words:
"I'm not playing tricks on you, please calm down, mysterious practitioners!" "What I must say is that I am just a gatekeeper who protects inheritance. The information I have is limited, and some of the information is not as civilized as spiritual practitioners. Permission is unspoken because I am just a gatekeeper.
"It's a...civilized encryption."
Wang Jixuan said leisurely: "Are you a gatekeeper or a spiritual practitioner? This needs to be verified by ourselves, rather than relying on your empty words."
"How could a powerful spiritual practitioner like me be coerced by you using such dirty spiritual energy?"
The shadow's face became clearer, and the old man squeezed out a bitter smile and continued: "You can't understand me, just like I can't understand you.
"I am a false thinking body born based on the universal spiritual energy formula, a bit like the mechanical bodies created by several human civilizations over there.
"My mission is to guard this stone slab... You can actually enter the stone slab and take a look. When your hand touches the stone slab, I can guide your soul into it, and then you will understand everything I say."
"I won't go," Wang Jixuan refused decisively, "I can let my trusted teammates go inside."
Zheng Shiduo stood up decisively.
He has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time!
As long as he can get in, he will be what Teacher Wang calls a ‘trusted teammate’!
Well, it seems like this isn't actually too important... But now, it's his turn to stand up!
"Sorry, he can't."
The shadowy old man directly refused:
“He is already the spiritual slave of other inheritance slates and has been marked with the inheritance of other spiritual practitioners. This breaks the rules and also destroys the tacit understanding between spiritual practitioners.
“Spiritual slaves are spiritual slaves. They can only serve, serve and dedicate themselves to spiritual practitioners, but cannot accept the inheritance of spiritual practitioners.
"That's why I closed the door immediately after I found him."
"Spirit slave? Who?"
Zheng Shiduo pointed at his nose in surprise: "Me?"
The old man Xudan smiled slightly sarcastically: "It seems that your human civilization has not shared this part of the information. This is normal, human nature is like this, and the civilization of spiritual practitioners is also an advanced civilization developed similar to human civilization. . These are all things I have the authority to disclose.”
Wang Jixuan snorted: "Don't be pretentious and try not to use rhetoric."
The old man Xuying smiled bitterly: "It's really difficult to communicate with you. Why do you reject this inheritance?"
Wang Jixuan's face turned cold: "Huh?"
The old man changed the topic and continued:
"The following is all the information I can reveal.
"The six stone slabs correspond to the inheritance of the six spiritual practitioners. These six inheritances are extremely important to you. After completing the entire inheritance ceremony, the six adults can wake up and save your planet. Inheritance is an extremely complicated matter. thing.
“So far, you are the only one who has activated this inheritance stone that I am guarding.
"There are six stone slabs, each side has one hundred and twenty small stone slabs. When all the small stone slabs are put together, the door of inheritance will be triggered by the right person.
"Prior to this, three inheritance slates have been triggered, and I am the fourth.
"Furthermore, the inheritors of the three stone slabs have sensed my awakening at this moment, which may cause you some trouble."
Fu Jian suddenly said: "There is a riot in the Psychic City. They have sent out all the emergency forces and are rushing here, but don't worry."
"That's what I meant."
The old man Xuying looked at Wang Jixuan with a smile: "So, you must accept this inheritance now, and even use the shortest possible time to obtain the inheritance mark and embark on the road of becoming a spiritual practitioner, so that you can offset the past. The pressure brought by the three inheritance mark owners.
"Don't hesitate. This is your chance to move toward advanced civilization. Don't you want to gain more power? A mysterious practitioner."
"Of course I want to gain power, but..."
Wang Jixuan shook his head:
“I don’t have to rely on charity from others.
"And in just this brief exchange, you told several lies."
"Lying?" The old man Xuying was a little confused, "Since I can refuse to answer you, why should I lie?"
"Do you think I will waste my time trying to figure out your thoughts?"
Daochang Wang's eyes were a little sharper, and he looked directly at the phantom old man:
"First, you are not a mechanical thinking body based on a universal formula.
"You are life, a soul, a incomplete soul, the aura contained within you.
“Second, as long as the hand touches the stone slab, it should be more than just the soul entering it.
“I sensed the power of space fluctuations.
"Obviously, one way is to let the soul enter the spire, and the other way is to let the whole body enter the spire.
"Third, what you just said about "Completing the inheritance" and "Awakening" are contradictory. Inheritance is to impart one's knowledge or ability, but you just mentioned "Awakening". There is a high probability that the six spiritual practitioners will get into some trouble. situation, right?
“You need some sacrifices? Or is it a new body? "
The phantom old man was silent, his face expressionless.
Wang Jixuan snapped his fingers and said calmly: "I no longer expect you to tell the truth. You just want to trick me into entering and then use the things inside to deal with me. Now, I will give you two choices..."
"No need."
The old man Xuying said coldly:
"You're more difficult to deal with than I thought.
"However, I didn't lie to you about one of the three things you said.
"You just wanted to get information from me, but you didn't think about making a contribution to me. My response to you with lies is a punishment for your insincerity.
"I didn't do anything wrong."
This old man gained a sense of majesty out of thin air.
Wang Jixuan nodded: "That's right, there's no need to talk?"
"I will let the inheritance slate enter a period of silence to avoid being contaminated by you with this dirty, evil, and unknown spiritual energy!"
The old man Xuying stared at Wang Jixuan: "I am very curious about you, which is why I took the initiative to communicate with you.
"In fact, you missed a huge treasure, a treasure that can make you the master of the planet! You will become a sinner of this civilization and this planet!
"Since you reject my call, then this planet will just wait for death. You cannot fight the Blade Beast. You have no idea of the Blade Beast's true power."
The old man Xuying sneered and seemed to continue to output, but his facial expression suddenly froze.
He turned his head sharply and looked at the spire projected on the stone wall behind him.
In the steeple, a wisp of black energy was flying up and down. It seemed to be...a dragon...
"What did you do! Damn it!"
He roared, and his body turned into a beam of light and hit the spire. All the light on the stone slab quickly faded.
Before Wang Jixuan could react, the slate wall itself suddenly disintegrated into rectangular blocks and fell freely to the ground.
Is this the so-called silent cycle?
There was no response to the injection of spiritual energy.
A stream of black energy suspended in the air, condensed into a half-meter-long dragon, and returned to Wang Jixuan's shoulder.
Taoist Wang clicked his tongue with some regret: "It's a pity, I only saw a little something."
Director Chen hurriedly asked: "What did you see?"
"It's very complicated," Wang Jixuan looked at Fu Jian, who immediately understood.
Fu Jiandao: "We will discuss these later. Immediately disrupt the order of these stone slabs and store them separately. The emergency force of the Psychic City will arrive at the D5 border in an hour and a half. Deal with them first."
The messenger's call came from outside the warehouse door: "Commander-in-Chief! Six Lao from the Psychic City has sent a communication request!"
Director Chen wisely suppressed his thirst for knowledge.
"Let those six old bastards wait! Wang Zheng, follow me," Fu Jian warned. "The loyal wingmen are responsible for collecting these things. Ordinary people with souls should not touch them." "Yes!"
…
In an off-road vehicle heading to the Archon's conference room.
"What did you find?" Fu Jian asked.
"A lot of stuff."
Wang Jixuan leaned on the passenger seat and raised his hand to rub his eyebrows:
"That old thing should be the remnant soul of the spiritual cultivator. There is a lot of space inside the spire, and each floor is very large. There are eleven to thirteen floors in total. I only browsed half of it.
"The core of the minaret is on the highest floor, where there is a sarcophagus. The sarcophagus lies across a lake. The lake is a strange formation.
“Inside the sarcophagus should be the spiritual cultivator, where the remaining soul is.
“I have seen similar sarcophagi in the Fire Melted Memory Fragments, but the patterns on the two are different.
"On the second floor from the top are two sets of walls that can be inlaid with crystal nuclei, and some other upper walls. I have seen such walls in Ji Xiao's memory...the core object of the psychic infusion ritual.
"As for the things on the third and fourth floors, you may not be able to imagine them, old master."
Fu Jian sneered: "You underestimate my mental capacity."
"Crystal cores, densely packed crystal cores! Each one is as big as the crystal core of a general-level blade beast. They are just laid out in one layer, with more than a dozen layers spread up and down."
"That's it?"
"Isn't it shocking enough! What a treasure this is!"
Wang Jixuan rubbed his nose:
“When I saw this scene, I couldn’t help but feel moved.
“However, I am certain that he wanted to trick me into going to the steeple and then kill me.
"Just below the two crystal core layers, I saw a group of skinny figures. They looked like mummies, and some of them had begun to wake up. It should be the remnant soul of this spiritual cultivator prepared to kill us.
"Fortunately, I kept an eye out and went to investigate secretly... Otherwise, when these mummies fully wake up, a group of powerful psykers might emerge."
Fu Jian was silent, thinking.
The off-road vehicle arrived at the lift platform and began to rise at a constant speed.
They were rushing to the Archon's office on the first floor.
Wang Jixuan simply summed it up from the bottom of his heart:
[The 'scientific name' of a psyker is a spiritual slave, which is a slave developed by a spiritual cultivator using the infusion of spiritual energy.
The inheritance slate of spiritual cultivators should have six sides. The D5 War Zone currently has one side. It is conservatively estimated that the Psychic City has at least three sides. The biggest secret of the Six Elders is this thing. The Psychic City is built on the inheritance foundation of spiritual cultivators. superior.
There may be three 'inheritors' selected by spiritual practitioners, but these three inheritors have never shown up, and the six elders are just powerful spiritual slaves who were pushed out.
An awakened psychic like Huo Rong is himself a high-level spiritual slave.
Awakened psykers have powerful combat capabilities and can utilize 100% or even 120% of the psychic energy in their bodies.
Spiritual practitioners are a completely different cultivation civilization from those who cultivate immortality. 】
but……
Wang Jixuan compared them carefully again.
Assuming that the 'mummy' in those spires all have the strength of Huorong, that inheritance stone slab will indeed have the capital to fight against a single pillar-level blade beast.
However, according to Wang Jixuan's induction, these 'mummy' bodies have high or low spiritual energy reserves. Not all of them are S-level psykers, most of them are A-level. They can't defeat the group of pillar-level blade beasts...
Ah, is that why spiritual practitioners established a spiritual capital?
It’s hard to say for sure.
Blade beasts and spiritual practitioners are mortal enemies;
After the blade beast discovered the suspected spiritual cultivator, it immediately took a fight to the death.
Next, if D5 can withstand the offensive of eight king-level blade beasts, the blade beasts may continue to increase their power until he, the 'suspected spiritual cultivator', is eliminated.
Things are starting to become clear.
The answer to where the blade beasts come from is beginning to emerge.
Wang Jixuan began to think about how he could get rid of the blade beast's current pursuit...
For him, the best situation is to let the blade beast target the psychic city and exert its force...
Fu Jian took the initiative to break the silence in the car: "This information cannot be disclosed to the outside world, otherwise it will cause panic. Spiritual practitioners and psychics cannot be the same existence as saviors."
"Understood," Wang Jixuan simply said what he had thought in his heart.
Fu Jian nodded calmly and said with a wry smile: "They are even so arrogant that they never want to discuss this with the frontline warriors who are actually fighting against the blade beasts."
"Spiritual practitioners only want to cultivate spiritual slaves. They may still be a slave society."
Wang Jixuan closed his eyes and rested: "I don't know much about other spiritual practitioners, but this old man gave me the impression that he was just talking nonsense and had no credibility at all.
"Old Fu, we have to take the initiative to fight back."
Fu Jian asked with great interest: "How to fight back?"
"Blade beasts and spiritual practitioners are mortal enemies, and we have to take advantage of this. Can the two sides start a war in the D5 war zone?"
"Yes, but there will be a certain amount of pressure, especially on the blade beast side. More king-level blade beast groups may join in attacking us in the future."
"I'll try to help you."
Wang Jixuan said quickly:
"How about we take the initiative to sneak attack the S-class psykers and the king-class blade beasts? I feel a little uncomfortable being passively defensive all the time."
"Sneak attack? You mean, use your sword formation?"
"The sword array is just a means."
Wang Jixuan smiled and said: "The spiritual cultivator reminded me. Next, I will try to transform the Buddhist temple team to improve their strength and let them besiege S-class psychics and directly attack the forces of the six elders. , then I will kill Xing Dian, and I will direct the battle against the psykers.
"Leave the group of king-level blade beasts to Lingtong Shenhai and the others, and you will take command here.
"The bladed beasts require a large army to fight, so I'm not very good at it, but the psykers, I should be able to do it."
Fu Jian smiled: "Why do I suddenly feel a fighting spirit in you that I have never felt before?"
"Because I am a mysterious practitioner and represent a certain cultivation civilization!"
Wang Jixuan's eyes were full of brilliance: "Maybe it's because of the atmosphere of the fortress, but now my collective sense of honor is overwhelming.
"The civilization of spiritual practitioners is indeed unique in some aspects. For example, the inheritance stone they made is a portal that connects a secret realm, which is the subspace.
“If I beat them, maybe I can learn something from them and make up for my own shortcomings.
"This is very likely to increase my success rate in facing that powerful enemy in the future!"
Fu Jian frowned and asked, "Do you also have a destined enemy? Like a spiritual cultivator or a bladed beast?"
"Ah, no, this powerful enemy of mine has nothing to do with you."
Wang Jixuan pointed at it:
"It's called heaven, and it's also called mortal life. I want to fight it again."
Fu Jian sneered: "You'd better fight with the Six Elders first... Don't speak later, put on your helmet and stand behind me. Your task is to observe the Six Elders. If my consciousness collapses in the future, they will leave it to you." to deal with it.”
Wang Jixuan:......
Just you, still want to collapse?
If the poor Taoist abandons the principles of a righteous monk and uses extreme means to refine your soul into a blood evil puppet and your mechanical body into a magic weapon, I will ensure that you can live longer than the combined life span of the six elders. !
squeak--
The SUV stopped and the office was in front.
Wang Jixuan took the black helmet held by the autonomous mechanical guard at the side, followed Fu Jian, and faced the six elders.
