Chapter 356 - Scheduling Battle
Under the urgings from cultivators of the Jiuhua City Shop and Half City Shop, a group chat named High-level Artifact Masters Communication Group was established on QQ.
Jun Yangzi: [Hello! Daoist friends.]
Duan Yue: [Hello! Daoist Friends from Jiuhua City! I heard that you’re studying runes, magic, and technology? How is it going with your research?]
Li Haoran: [F*cking great!]
Duan Yue: […]
Jun Yangzi: [ Mind your language! Okay? Don’t use the cuss words you learned from Grand Theft Auto!]
“It just slipped out…” Li Haoran looked embarrassed beside his master.
As the Master of the Yuanheng Pavilion, a shop selling all kinds of rare treasures, Tang Yuan was a high-level artifact master himself. “How are you planning to study it?”
Not only Tang Yuan, but many cultivators with high-level artifact-making skills in Half City joined the group as well. Even Gongyi Xiu of the Yundian Upper Realm took the opportunity to shamelessly slip into the group. There were many artifact masters in this group already.
Jun Yangzi: [We divided the research into three categories, which are life, warfare, and small-scale fights involving spiritual spells and treasures. We’re studying crystal energy cars, a new communication jade, magic spells in Harry Potter, etc. As for guns and magic instillation, we’ve produced some mature products.]
Obviously, the Wuwei Daoist Alliance, which had entered these areas quite early, had begun some advanced research projects.
Looking at the long list that Jun Yanzi showed them, the artifact masters in the Half City Shop were very surprised. [Daoist Friend Jun Yangzi, how should we begin if we want to study the interior structure of the Heavenly Mirror or the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array?]
[I mean…] Duan Yue asked cautiously, [Many of our factions plan to put great resources into this research and want to make a high-quality imitation of the Heavenly Mirror. Do you think we can do it?]
Jun Yangzi: [You can learn the artifact-making method of the Shu Mountain Faction. According to my observations, these two factions have similar artifact-making methods, and you can get some inspiration from them.]
Duan Yue: [The problem is that the shop over here doesn’t have the Legend of the Sword and Fairy yet!]
Yun Yangzi: [I asked the Shop Owner, and he said that the game will be released soon in the shop in your city. Before it comes out, you can bring your questions to me.]
Duan Yue: [Thank you very much!]
Jun Yangzi chuckled and said, [Don’t mention it. Your skills in artifact-making are much higher than ours, and I hope you can help us in the future.]
“How did it go?” At this moment, the faction masters were all standing behind Duan Yue.
“Good!” Duan Yue leaned back on the computer chair and looked at the screen. “Despite the conflicts in the Legend of Mir 2 with us, these guys are quite nice and straightforward. We can share our research results and help each other, so I guess the research process won’t be too slow.”
After all, the two parties were far apart in real life, and they didn’t have any conflicts of interest excepting for fighting each other in the game. More importantly, some of the guys didn’t play the Legend of Mir 2, so the people from the two regions played and drove cars together in Grand Theft Auto 5.
“Good!” Tianxu Daoist clapped his hands in appreciation and said, “After the project is done, we will each have a Heavenly Mirror!”
Duan Yue’s face twitched as he said, “It’s only an imitation, and I’m sure it will cost lots of resources!”
“For such a f*cking good item, I don’t care about how much it will cost,” Wang Lingxiao said with a snort.
Then, he saw everyone staring at him.
Wang Lingxiao asked, “Why are you staring at me like that? Did I say something wrong?”
Everyone replied, “Faction Master Wang, you’re right. For such a f*cking good item, we shouldn’t worry about how many resources it will cost.”
They nodded repeatedly.
“Let’s join in the group chat in QQ and watch Shu Mountain again tomorrow!”
[Your computer time is up.]
Duan Yue stood up and dusted his butt, “Let’s go! Let’s go!”
“It’s disgusting that we are not given even one extra minute!”
…
As a warrior, Nalan Hongwu watched certain episodes of Wind and Cloud each day, such as the episode where the Sword Saint used Sword 23 and the two episodes where No Name (Wu Ming) recovered his cultivation strength and mastered the technique named “Innumerable Swords Returning to Root”.
In the courtyard of the Nalan Family, Nalan Hongwu pointed out his index and middle fingers, and a surge of overwhelming sword energy shot out from his body!
The big courtyard was filled by murderous spirit.
“The Heavenly Sword is too high and too mysterious, and I’m afraid that I can’t reach the realm of No Name, who can make tens of thousands of swords submit to him. As for Sword 23, it’s a bit too risky and dangerous to understand this sword technique since it’s something beyond the mortal world.”
The sharp sword energy swept across the courtyard and shattered the plants and trees into dust.
Sword One.
Sword Two.
Sword Three…
One by one, he cast the Saint Spiritual Sword Techniques smoothly.
As the sword energies moved faster, they almost knocked down all the walls around the courtyard and left many deep cuts in the ground.
…
Meanwhile in the Morning Star Sea Realm, the cultivators who were not artifact masters were also busy.
In the cloudy sky above the sea outside Half City, many cultivators hovered in the air.
“Tianxu Daoist!” Wang Lingxiao stood in the air with his hands clasped behind his back. “The previous battle is not finished yet. I must show you the truth as for which is more powerful, the Nanming Li Fire Sword or the Heavenly Lightning Dual Swords!”
On the other side, the Haoran Faction Master also hovered in the air, coldly gazing at the cultivators of Half City. “You’re all learning the unorthodox evil spells. Which one of you rebuffed my claim and said that Grand Orthodox Qi is garbage and the Youquan Blood Demon is the f*cking greatest? Stand out!”
The cultivators of Half City were silent. After all, many of them had just reached the early or middle stage of Divine Ocean Realm and were not as powerful as the old monsters in the inner city; how could they rival the Haoran Faction Master?
Even Black Demon, the most active one among them who had even imitated some power of Youquan Blood Demon, now looked embarrassed.
At this moment, a soft chuckle came into their ears. “Faction Master Xie, it’s beneath you to bully the cultivators of the early and middle stage of the Divine Ocean Realm. Do you want to fight Big Sister instead? The elders of your Haoran Faction can join you and battle me together if you want.”
Xie Longchi, the Haoran Faction Master was surprised, and his face changed color. How come this demonic woman is here?
With someone more powerful supporting them, Black Demon and the others were emboldened. “I did say that Youquan is the most powerful. What now?”
…
– Two hours later –
The hair of people like Wang Lingxiao and Tianxu Daoist were disheveled with some missing, and their clothes were ripped and torn. “Daoist Friend… Wang! Wait…. until I recover my breath! Then, I will reason with you!”
How come this Daoist has such a deep understanding of the mysterious concept of Yin and Yang? Wang Lingxiao was also out of breath. “Humph! We’ll stop today with a draw. But it’s not because the Heavenly Lightning Dual Swords are more powerful; it is because I haven’t fully understood the essence of the Nanming Li Fire! I’ll fight you again after watching the movie tomorrow!”
On the other side, the disheveled Haoran Faction Master yelled, “The Grand Orthodox Qi exists forever!
“To…Tomorrow, if you dare, don’t run after you get offline! I haven’t fully comprehended the theory yet. The Grand Orthodox Qi didn’t lose to your unorthodox evil spells!”
Seeing the Haoran Faction Master fleeing with the elders, Ning Bi narrowed her eyes and instantly healed that one bloody scratch on her face with a brush of her hand; the others didn’t notice when it appeared.
“These little guys of Haoran Faction have improved a lot lately. Interesting.”
She murmured to herself, “It seems that I’ve got to work harder and obtain the secret skill scroll of the Divine Light of Orochi from the King of Fighters… Otherwise, I’ll disgrace myself by losing to these guys later on.”
