Tie Dan opened his eyes and found himself back in Yanzi Cave.
No, it wasn’t Yanzi Cave. The cave was empty, and in front of the cave entrance, where the mural of Xuan Nu used to hang, there was now a very familiar, yet seemingly unseen, door.
A dream? No, more like a Primordial Spirit Illusion Realm...
It’s said that great cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage can project their Primordial Soul, roaming Outer Heaven with their Yin God. Even lower-level cultivators, and even ordinary people, can project their soul with the aid of special magic artifacts, talismans, and spells.
However, because the Primordial Spirit of soone who hasn’t ford their Nascent Soul is too weak, it cannot control itself and is easily dispersed by the Gang Wind, leaving one as a lost soul. Or the Dao Body could be seized by other demons, so one should avoid such reckless acts.
Of course, there are so Witchcraft Curse Techniques that specifically target the Primordial Spirit, calling the soul out of the body to kill. What I encountered in Marquis Zhongshan’s military tent was probably such a spell...
Now falling into this deep illusion of soul projection again, it seems my body’s condition is already quite bad...
Tie Dan hesitated for a mont and, having no other way, simply pushed the door open.
It was a room he had never seen before, seemingly a four-person dormitory with bunk beds.
A boy about his age, height, and even appearance and voice, wearing a vest and shorts, stood with folded arms in the room.
"Tie Dan, we need to talk."
Tie Dan looked at him in confusion. What was this thing? What kind of monster wanted to seize his body?
"My na is Chen Xuantian. I’m from another world, and through quantum communication technology, I’ve resonated with your brainwaves, linking our consciousness together."
What nonsense... Can he be trusted?
The Kun atop Chen Xuantian’s head nodded.
So Tie Dan decided to trust him for the ti being.
And Chen Xuantian opened a laptop, directly playing an animation of Tie Dan’s dream,
"I’ll put it simply: our connection is too close, far beyond the level of a dream! Every ti you experience a potentially fatal injury, my brain also suffers the sa stimuli, and my body, influenced by you, is on the verge of death!
So to avoid dying because of you, I need your help! And I also need to help you! So my request is simple!"
Chen Xuantian shoved the laptop into Tie Dan’s hands, clasped his fingers, and stared seriously with a prayer-like gesture,
"Don’t die! Don’t die! I’m begging you, man! Don’t die, Tie Dan!!"
Tie Dan, "..."
Tie Dan looked at the Kun, and the Kun was using its fin to pick its nose...
So Tie Dan lowered his gaze and looked at the laptop, where a dream of a child and a wolf pack running was being played.
Chen Xuantian saw he cared, nodded, and skipped that part,
"If you don’t want people to know about your past, I won’t watch it. Anyway, as long as you don’t seek death, you can do whatever you want."
Tie Dan was silent for a mont,
"I will live. Wolf Head told to live."
Chen Xuantian breathed a sigh of relief,
"Well then, I’m counting on you, brother. I know the situation on your side is really tough, surviving is really hard, but I don’t know how much I can help you. But if you need anything, just say it."
Tie Dan stared at him for a while,
"...What is a turbo?"
"Oh, it’s a rotary power machine that converts the energy of a flowing dium into chanical work."
Chen Xuantian tapped on the keyboard, pulling up blueprints and videos,
"An engine works by burning fuel in the engine’s cylinder, thereby outputting power externally. To enhance the engine’s output power under a definite engine displacent, the most effective way is to supply more fuel for combustion.
However, while it’s easy to supply more fuel to the cylinder, providing an adequate amount of air to support complete fuel combustion is hard with traditional engine intake systems. Hence, the turbo system is designed to boost the engine’s performance."
Chen Xuantian fast-forwarded the video, trimming and editing screenshots of the ridians from Tie Dan’s past cultivation techniques, constructing a 3D model using software, simulating the operation chanism of True Qi and Essence Blood in the ridians, explaining to Tie Dan,
"I think the principle of cultivators refining qi can be simply analogized to this. The Dantian is like an engine, and the Essence Blood is the fuel, but to burn the Essence Blood and enhance output power, it requires sufficient True Qi to support complete combustion and unleash brilliant energy.
To make an analogy, though you’re currently like a two-cylinder small car with Foundation Establishnt displacent, through cultivation technique improvents and design optimization, the addition of three turbos would give you explosive power and torque acceleration comparable to a small rocket, enabling you to effortlessly outrun those Nascent Soul displacent four-cylinder naturally aspirated old cars, and even rival eight-cylinder Divinity Transformation war chariots!
But of course, your body is too weak and hasn’t fully grown yet. The material strength of your turbo chassis engine isn’t enough, so if you push too hard on the gas, it’s easy to blow the engine, and normal people would be out of luck.
However, you still have the Blood Jade Technique to reshape your body, so as long as you don’t die, we can test and optimize the data in actual battles, ultimately making you the king of this track!"
Tie Dan, "..."
Although he didn’t understand what Chen Xuantian was saying, it sounded pretty impressive...
"Then what about robots?"
Chen Xuantian’s expression darkened and he replied sternly,
"I don’t know."
Tie Dan, "..."
"In simple terms, it’s an artificial humanoid machine. Just think of it like a magic treasure puppet."
Chen Xuantian brought up the footage of the robot to take a look and scratched his head,
"I’ve never seen anything so advanced; the best we could make on our side might be sothing like R2D2, nowhere near as advanced as these, blood-and-flesh humanoid intelligent machines. Moreover, isn’t your world based on a cultivation setting? Why would sothing with such an inconsistent the pop up all of a sudden..."
It’s not really about the the, but rather...
Tie Dan, "How do you kill it?"
Chen Xuantian fast-forwarded the video of ’Zhongshan Gong Stone Dragon’, replayed a few segnts, contemplated,
"If they’re artificially made chanical equipnt, they can be produced in whatever quantity, it’s just a matter of cost. But if you just want to destroy it, one way is to find the energy core, another is to locate the control chip, both of which should be able to render the body ineffective.
Additionally, didn’t you hear that woman ntion so plot and script? It seems there’s a programming setup behind it, needing regular updates and backups, likely also for receiving the latest instructions. They really made their move just when you guys acted."
"Updates?"
Chen Xuantian pointed at the giant who was sitting still, eyes glittering.
"Robots don’t need sleep, so it might be connected to the cloud, updating its system, doing data backups. This ans there should be an information center and database in this world.
This is probably wireless communication, and there might be orbital satellite communication systems above. But with this level of technology, the robots might be so super-advanced technology, quantum communication or sothing... Oh!"
Chen Xuantian suddenly seed to realize sothing, his expression becoming serious.
"So that’s it! It appears your world has so black technology we desperately need over here! No wonder they’re always pushing to make progress... Damn, I even studied for ages on how to cultivate after all..."
Although Tie Dan didn’t fully understand, seeing the robot Stone Dragon and the revived fragnted female body later, he more or less got it,
"You’re saying the Stone Dragon is just a puppet, but there’s a mastermind, a systematic, organized, army-like organization behind it. Possessing skills far beyond human understanding, and having their own plans..."
Who else could it be? No need to guess. The Demon Palace.
No matter how much you fight, how much you lose, the Demon Palace will not be destroyed.
Because those nobles seated high in the Three Constellations are re puppets, skin sacks, puppets on the stage.
Under those gorgeous jade-clad, beautiful skins hide cold ’Stone Dragons’, iron-cold demons performing orders.
No human heart, no humanity, only execution of orders, following updated commands and plans relentlessly and rcilessly slaughtering the living like harvesting crops and raising livestock.
Demon Palace.
Must die.
"You better not think of charging all the way to the Three Constellations Royal Capital just yet. Their technology is too advanced, and the one controlling them might not even be on Earth."
Chen Xuantian saw Tie Dan’s expression and knew what he was thinking,
"Let’s focus on how to keep you alive first. Earlier, your spirit was severely damaged, and I had to take temporary asures to escape. But now your situation is dire, and if we don’t repair your Dao Body, we’ll both die.
Although we share consciousness and can communicate subconsciously, you can’t fully understand the knowledge from my side yet, and I can’t fully grasp the cultivation techniques you’ve learned.
We have to work together to form a Core, cast a sword, and rebuild the Dao Body to survive."
Tie Dan understood as well.
There are too many people who need to be killed, and with his current strength, he can only sacrifice himself for one sword, then escape with his tail between his legs. He can hardly accomplish anything.
He must survive and continue to grow stronger to kill everyone who needs to be killed.
"One more question."
Tie Dan frowned, pointing at the Kun that was listening and nodding on the side,
"What exactly is it?"
Chen Xuantian smirked,
"How should I know... It looks like a rare beast native to your place, right?"
The Kun jumped up and tapped the keyboard,
’Not a rare beast, but a Kun!’
Chen Xuantian,
"It’s even using Wubi..."
The Kun not only knew Wubi but also drew pictures, using its fins to bash the keyboard and licking the screen with its tongue, modifying and designing Dao Body on the ridian techniques that Chen Xuantian previously captured and modeled in 3D.
Chen Xuantian and Tie Dan exchanged glances and shrugged, so the two humans and the fish each leveraged their expertise to research, communicate, and complete the final draft!
"Wow——!"
The gourd mouth opened wide, and golden light blood!
Tie Dan! Leaped out!
Again and again! Once more!
Reborn in blood! Reconstructed Taoist Body! Sword Formation and Casting! Golden Core breakthrough!
Taibai Sword Embryo!
