Chapter Index

    Headache.

    It was an excruciating pain, like my brow was about to split open.

    However, judging from the current situation, the problem is no longer too big.

    ‘That celestial being, Wuliang, has finally pulled through.’

    ‘This combination of medical, demonic, evil, and righteous techniques should be used with caution in the future; it almost cost me my life to be reincarnated.’

    “Ah, there’s no Yama’s Palace in this world, so it must be a matter of seizing a body on a chosen day… How can cultivation be called seizing a body? That’s just making full use of a fresh corpse.”

    Wang Jixuan faced his true self.

    He’s one step closer to succumbing to demonic possession, which is certainly a bad omen.

    With his soul shattered and his foundation damaged, he cannot engage in combat for the next hundred days, otherwise his injuries will worsen.

    These injuries can all be repaired.

    In this battle, he protected over 100,000 people at Fort 76, and now he can live a carefree life, directly asking the military for resources.

    With this achievement, he should be able to make it to the Foundation Establishment stage, right?

    The Blade Beast has been in this world for a hundred years, which means that the spiritual energy of this world has existed for a hundred years. Does that mean there are many hundred-year-old medicinal herbs?

    These herbs are unusable with modern technology, so wouldn’t it be perfect for him to get his hands on them? Once he reaches the fourth stage of Foundation Establishment, the Returning to Void Realm, he’ll be able to get a medicine cauldron to refine pills.

    If he had a century-old elixir, the aptitude of his Dao body could be greatly improved!

    Of course, that’s all for later; we should rest and recuperate first.

    My internal condition is a complete mess.

    Master Wang opened his eyes slightly, trying to see what had bumped into his chest earlier, causing him a strange pain.

    He lowered his head slightly, and what came into view was that ponytail and light purple hair tie.

    Ling Tong was still sitting in the chair, her body lying on the bed, her forehead hitting his chest, as if she were unconscious.

    Master Wang’s heart was stirred by a slight ripple.

    From the perspective of cultivating one’s mind in the mortal world, he doesn’t actually mind starting a relationship, but that would have to be at least after reaching the Golden Core stage.

    At that time, the increase in cultivation effect of Yuan Yang would be negligible.

    Being in a relationship doesn’t mean you’ll lose your virility.

    The image of Dr. Wei Na flashed before Master Wang’s eyes, leaving him with a somewhat complicated feeling.

    In this world!

    Even without being in a relationship, there’s a high chance of losing your virility! And if you were in a relationship, it would be even worse!

    The Yuan Yang is a very peculiar thing. As long as it exists, it can be continuously refined into ‘essence’ to replenish itself and greatly enhance’spirit’. After the Yuan Yang is refined, as long as you ingest blood and qi food and supplements, or even if you don’t care about it, the Yuan Yang will be restored to its fullness in a certain period of time.

    If this thing is lost, it’s truly gone forever; there’s no way to get it back no matter what.

    Wang Jixuan saw many men and women in the fortress whose yang energy was depleted and whose yin energy was excessive. This was due to excessive indulgence, which basically ruined them. Even if they had talent and comprehension, it would be difficult for them to cultivate.

    He quietly pondered his future cultivation plans, attempting to extend his spiritual sense. His spiritual sense could now see a range of three hundred meters, but the headache that had just subsided intensified once again.

    Perhaps this is one of the advantages of demonic arts and the Soul Devouring Technique?

    ‘I seemed to have gone mad in the final stage of my demonic cultivation; the silver needle pierced my brow to the root, and I think I briefly saw something.’

    Wang Jixuan closed his eyes, concentrated, and pondered carefully.

    The Supreme Star, ever adaptable and ever-changing.

    Wisdom is clear and bright, and the mind is at peace.

    A series of blurry images surfaced in Wang Jixuan’s mind.

    He forcefully devoured the soul of the mimicry beast ‘Preacher’ with his own soul. Fragments of ‘Preacher’s’ memories had attempted to impact his main soul, but he shattered them directly.

    These fragments seem to be…

    Wang Jixuan observed carefully.

    A dark cave, glowing crystals, larvae circling the glowing crystals, and…

    It seems that the moment this ‘Preacher’ Blade Beast matured, it suddenly looked up, as if it were in space looking down at a planet and seeing beams of light appearing on the vast land.

    Those beams of light represented powerful individual Blade Beasts.

    —This is the moment when the Preacher Blade Beast receives the ‘knowledge’ of the Blade Beast clan.

    The areas surrounded by these beams of light are humanity’s various war zones.

    Among these pillars of light, twelve golden pillars stood out, being incredibly large.

    They are evenly distributed in the central area of ​​the territory occupied by the Blade Beasts, just like twelve emperors commanding a large number of Blade Beasts.

    The main group of Blade Beasts are all asleep;

    In other words, are all these powerful individual Blade Beasts asleep?

    Why do they slumber? They could wipe out humanity in one fell swoop, so why do they choose to let humanity linger on? Are they trying to raise pigs? But the Blade Beasts don’t seem to need to devour human souls and flesh to increase their power.

    Their power source should be those luminescent crystals.

    Master Wang was completely baffled.

    Just in case, he checked his soul again, crushed the fragments of the ‘preacher”s’ memory once more, and exhaled them as a breath of turbid air.

    ‘Actually, following the path of demonic cultivation, devouring the souls of blade beasts to enhance one’s primordial spirit power, isn’t bad either.’

    ‘The memories of blade beasts are monotonous and cannot exert a strong impact on cultivators, unlike the souls of mortals, which can easily confuse a cultivator’s memories and drive them insane.’

    ‘Forget it, this method is too risky. Cultivation should never be rushed. In the cultivation world, the righteous path always suppresses the demonic path, the fundamental reason being that progress must be gradual.’

    ‘Let’s cultivate honestly and properly… Hmm, if I can’t keep living in the fortress anymore, then I’ll take this shortcut: hunting bladed beasts to cultivate.’

    Thinking this, Master Wang’s spirits recovered considerably, and his headache gradually subsided.

    Although he was still weak all over, he could move his arms without any problem.

    Wang Jixuan opened his eyes again, lowered his head, raised his right hand, and tremblingly touched the back of Ling Tong’s head.

    Master Wang was going to regulate her breathing.

    Ling Tong became alert and suddenly opened her eyes, her dark pupils turning towards Wang Jixuan. Then, as if remembering something, she immediately closed her eyes again and began to pretend to be asleep.

    Wang Jixuan: ……

    Since that’s the case.

    Master Wang suppressed a smile, placing his right hand on Ling Tong’s swan-like neck. He infused her with his breath to regulate her body while gently massaging her skin, his thumb lightly rubbing against her skin, which resembled a hard-boiled egg.

    Women are truly amazing creatures.

    Her face was noticeably flushed.

    “What are you doing?” Ling Tong asked softly.

    “I’ll help you recover,” Wang Daochang said, pressing his thumb down obediently. His voice was hoarse. “I’m a great contributor, so treat a contributor well.”

    “oh.”

    Ling Tong turned her head slightly, her ponytail facing Wang Jixuan, her face pressed against his chest through a layer of clothing, and said indistinctly:

    “I’m going to rest for a while, I’m sleepy.”

    “Go to sleep,” Wang Jixuan said gently.

    He then frowned and pondered.

    This doesn’t make sense, does it?

    He’s a patient, and she’s there to care for him! Why is he giving her a massage when his own injury hasn’t even healed yet?!

    Never mind, she’s probably tired too.

    Wang Jixuan massaged her for a while, and after confirming that she was alright and just tired, he went to sleep without worry.

    In a daze, Wang Jixuan heard a conversation outside the door.

    Zhou Zhengde has been here.

    “Those psionicists have all been sent to the front lines. Wei Lin is with Uncle Feng right now. There won’t be any psionicists at Fortress 76 for the time being.”

    Young Master Zhou said:

    “I will do my best to deal with the psionicists and try to make Fortress 76 a blind spot for the psionic capital.”

    “However, doing so will definitely provoke a strong backlash from the 13th Institute.”

    “We predict that they will try every means to cause trouble here. At least two half-human mechs will need to be stationed here permanently. When Ling Tong goes back to repair the mechanical arm suit, Shen Hai and Chi She will both need to stay here.”

    A deep-sea voice rang out: “No problem, we will always have enough respect for heroes.”

    “What should we do with the underground nest?” the red snake asked.

    “The current strategy is to clear the area thoroughly, then use explosives to demolish it, and finally carry out landfill operations.”

    Zhou Zhengde said:

    “I also need to trouble you two to clean up as soon as possible. Captain Zheng is the main force going forward. A batch of pressure suits has been deployed to the front line, and we can clean it up within a week.”

    “The reconstruction of the lower town is the next challenge.”

    “I stayed up all night to finalize the Lower Town reconstruction plan. This is actually an opportunity to change the ecology of Lower Town, to provide more rights protection for Lower Town residents as much as possible, and to open up talent mobility channels between Lower Town and Middle Town and Upper Town.”

    “However, it will definitely be difficult to implement this. It will take time to promote it step by step, and it is closely related to the residents’ quality and skills.”

    Sister Wan laughed and said, “You’ll have plenty of time to think things through carefully in a quiet little room, young man, and aim your gun at the commander.”

    “That wasn’t… an impulsive act…”

    “Hahaha!” That was Uncle Tai’s hearty laughter.

    The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

    Wang Jixuan understood that Zhou Zhengde was going to be tried and imprisoned in a military prison.

    However, Master Wang was not worried about this at all.

    What is Zhou Yanei’s background?

    Aren’t those military prisons all his own property? Maybe Zhou Yanei can even find a blind date there after he goes in.

    Zhou Zhengde came to Wang Jixuan’s bedside. At that time, Wang Jixuan was able to wake himself up, but the Taoist priest disliked that awkward and hesitant feeling of parting.

    Is he going to compose a poem for Brother Zhou?

    Just go early and come back early.

    Zhou Zhengde sat by the bed for a few minutes, then, as if he had gained a great deal, he embarked on the next political struggle with high morale.

    In the following thirty-odd hours, two more groups of people came to visit.

    Returning from the lower city, Zheng Shiduo, who was on his shift rest, described the horrific scene in the young queen insect’s nest in an exaggerated tone, boasting about how awesome the Black Storm was.

    Commander Dongfang Zhenghong and Minister of the Interior Zhou Meiying arrived together.

    On behalf of the Central Plains Basin Theater Command and the D5 Comprehensive Theater Command, Dongfang Zhenghong and Zhou Meiying, representing the Commander of Fortress 76, expressed their commendation and condolences to Black Storm.

    They delivered a large amount of supplies, including, but not limited to… three fist-sized general-level crystal cores!

    And a nutritious soup personally cooked by Zhou Meiying.

    Master Wang truly cherishes these three general-level crystal cores.

    He didn’t need to worry about it; Uncle Tai had already taught himself and took out several demon-suppressing talismans from Master Wang’s cabinet, sticking them on the crystal core.

    As for that nutritious soup… Wan Xiaoqi secretly drank two sips, then gagged for two hours, not knowing why.

    As the saying goes, good medicine tastes bitter.

    This indirectly proves that the soup is truly nutritious.

    Master Wang pretended to be unconscious and continued to recuperate, to avoid being forced to drink the soup again if he woke up now.

    He didn’t want to wake up, and besides needing to rest because of a real headache, there was actually another reason.

    Ling Tong will be leaving for a while, probably more than a month, and Sister Wan will be going with her.

    She needs to return to the front lines to “treat” her robotic arm. The connection between the robotic arm and the robotic spine has malfunctioned and requires a professional team for repair. There is a lack of large-scale equipment here to protect Ling Tong’s skin and organs.

    As soon as he wakes up, Ling Tong has to say goodbye and leave temporarily.

    That would be better if he just stayed asleep and she left on her own.

    Otherwise, there would be a farewell or something… The Taoist priest doesn’t like pretentiousness and rambling.

    Thus, Master Wang rested for two more days, and his headache was relieved by more than half. As long as he meditated for twelve hours every day, his soul injury would be restored in a month. It would be difficult to make any progress in his cultivation in the next month or so.

    Urged by Sister Wan, Ling Tong was about to return to the headquarters for treatment.

    She changed into a military uniform, opened the door to Wang Jixuan’s room, and whispered to Wu Man, the boy reading beside her:

    “Please allow me a few minutes to be alone with him.”

    “Yes, sir,” Wu Man put down his book and let the electric wheelchair take him away.

    Ling Tong closed the door, lowered her head and leaned against the door panel, remaining motionless for more than twenty seconds.

    Master Wang was inexplicably a little nervous, but his expression remained that of someone fast asleep, and there was no sign of anything amiss.

    What is she going to do? Say something sentimental? That doesn’t seem like her style; her personality seems to be…

    Ling Tong suddenly took two steps forward, walked to the bedside, and leaned down without hesitation, as if to give him a headbutt.

    Master Wang almost opened his eyes and dodged.

    Ling Tong’s delicate face stopped in front of him, her left mechanical arm resting on the pillow, her right mechanical arm pressed against the wall, the shortest distance between their noses was only a dozen centimeters.

    Strands of long hair slipped down from behind her ears.

    Her long hair was loose at that moment, jet black and glossy.

    Ling Tong kept her eyes open, pursed her lips, and quickly pecked Wang Jixuan’s lips, her lips lightly touching his.

    She immediately stood up, as if she had violated some great taboo.

    “Just testing the feeling, like in the novels, don’t misunderstand… Take good care of your injuries, see you later, Deep Sea and Red Serpent will protect you.”

    She turned to leave.

    Master Wang wanted to call out to her, but a strange feeling swirled in his heart, causing indescribable ripples in his mind.

    Although, but…

    How can a grown man be so passive!

    Hey! You little brat, come back here to me!

    Wang Jixuan opened his eyes and was about to shout when he found that the innocent-looking boy was already sitting next to him.

    The sunlight outside the window was just right, and Ling Tong’s presence had already disappeared.

    “Commander Ling Tong left twenty-five minutes ago, sir. You showed signs of waking up as soon as she left.”

    Wu Man asked with a smile:

    “You still have a little lipstick on your lips, do you need a tissue to wipe it off?”

    Huh? Wasn’t that just now?

    Wang Jixuan realized that he had indeed been momentarily dazed.

    Master Wang calmly sat up, stretched as if nothing was wrong, and looked at Uncle Tai and Wan Xiaoqi who were busy outside the door.

    Why are they packing their luggage?

    “To ensure the safety of you and me, we will be transferred to the safest fortress, the seventh floor.”

    Wu Man explained:

    “There are no more psionicists inside the fortress, so it’s relatively safe there.”

    “Mr. Zhou Zhengde is at the front-line military court, clashing fiercely with the people from the Thirteenth Institute. He is worried that the Thirteenth Institute will retaliate against Fortress No. 76, and the outer expansion area is no longer safe.”

    “This site will serve as a decoy point, where a few mechanics will be stationed to mislead the people from the Thirteenth Institute.”

    “good.”

    Master Wang thought of those beams of light, large and small.

    A powerful herd of bladed beasts;

    Corrupted psionicists;

    The road ahead is indeed fraught with challenges.

    Fine, let’s figure out a way to mass-produce the Demon-Slaying Dagger as soon as possible, and give these psionicists a little shock from orthodox cultivation!

    Master Wang was full of fighting spirit at this moment.

    “By the way, sir.”

    Wu Man took out a holographic player:

    “Listen to this, it’s a new radio recording I made. Someone is thanking you.”

    “What?” Master Wang was a little confused, but Wu Man had already pressed the button on the media player.
