Chapter 757: Wang Ming Immortal Talent: Ten Thousand Mechanism Demon Monster!
Mechanism Cave Abode.
Cultivation Secret Chamber.
The walls, cast from brass, reveal a large number of mechanism components; there are gears rotating slowly, and levers acting in coordination.
The secret chamber's heavy copper door is already tightly shut, without even a sliver of a gap.
The sound of mechanism components operating fills this secret chamber, constantly adding to the atmosphere of grim gravity.
Seeing Ban Ji sits cross-legged on the prayer mat in the very center; he is expressionless, his eyes tightly shut.
His cheekbones are high, and the light shining down from above casts dark, mottled shadows on his face; there are slight beads of sweat on the tip of his aquiline nose.
Suddenly, a whisper comes from the void.
Seeing Ban Ji's heart jolts instantly: "It's here!"
His body reacts instinctively at this moment; his thin, gaunt back suddenly arches, and the veins on his neck bulge.
The whisper is intermittent, entering his ears like strange, long fingernails scraping around inside his skull.
Seeing Ban Ji grinds his teeth and opens his eyes; bloodshot lines are filling his eye sockets at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The whisper quickly becomes continuous, and to Seeing Ban Ji, the sound grows louder and louder.
His reason is constantly diminishing, and his right foot suddenly feels an unbearable, bone-deep itch!
Seeing Ban Ji curls his right leg, extends his fingers, and subconsciously begins to scratch.
It is an unbearable itch!
Seeing Ban Ji's fingertips are fitted with steel hooks; he tears through his boot and scratches desperately.
Soon, his right foot is mangled, revealing pale bone. For Seeing Ban Ji, the pain brought by this is like a traveler dying of thirst in the desert encountering a few drops of water!
But soon, the whispering sound becomes as loud as a copper gong, constantly and forcefully pouring into Seeing Ban Ji's ears.
"Shut up! Shut up!" He strikes his ears with both palms wrapped in demonic light, and his eardrums are instantly destroyed. But even after losing his hearing, the whispering only weakens slightly; it still reverberates in his cranial cavity, knocking against his temples until they gradually bulge, and veins throb on his forehead.
At this time, Seeing Ban Ji is already lying on the ground, his body constantly twisting under the dual assault of excruciating pain and intense itching, like a lone boat struggling desperately in a stormy sea.
His head feels like it is splitting, and the intense itch on his right foot feels like a venomous snake climbing up his lower leg.
He subconsciously uses his heel to constantly beat against the floor tiles, causing blood to splatter, mixing flesh and bone fragments into a paste that sticks to everything nearby.
The originally white leg bone now surges with a brownish-yellow turbid light, actually undergoing a transformation, turning into strips and blocks of mechanisms!
Immortal Talent—Ten Thousand Mechanism Demon Monster!
This is not a sequela of Seeing Ban Ji cultivating the demonic art "Greedy Mechanism Demon Heart Art," but rather the Immortal Talent Ten Thousand Mechanism Demon Monster activating.
A cultivator possessing this Immortal Talent will be constantly irrigated with the principles of mechanism arts, the Demonic Sect, and the Strange Dao.
In Seeing Ban Ji's field of vision, chaotic and disorganized runes begin to appear.

Seeing Ban Ji cannot understand these runes at all, and he shuts his eyes tightly amidst his roaring.
The darkness is only temporary.
Soon, various runes appear like living maggots, piercing through the darkness and presenting themselves in Seeing Ban Ji's field of vision once again.
The flesh and blood of his entire right lower leg have turned into translucent gel; not only has the leg bone transformed into a mechanism, but it also emits a powerful suction force.
In this cultivation secret chamber, there are multiple brass mechanisms placed about. These mechanisms are pulled by an invisible suction force, crashing one after another into Seeing Ban Ji's severed limb.
Bang, bang, bang, clang, clang, clang————
The mechanisms collide with each other one after another, being firmly sucked in and tightly clumped together.
The brownish-yellow turbid light spreads rapidly, dismantling and reconstructing these mechanisms.
After a dozen breaths.
Seeing Ban Ji's right lower leg is already unrecognizable. Gears are embedded in the leg bone, and chain saws pierce the fascia. Gelatinous flesh wraps around various foreign objects like living wax.
At the same time, Seeing Ban Ji's magic power, like countless threads woven into a net, permeates every corner of his right lower leg.
His entire right leg has swollen into a giant object that would require two adults to embrace. The outermost layer of skin has turned into brass, and a large number of gears are rotating within the leg bone, while at the right knee, blood mist is constantly being spat out.
Because of his roaring, Seeing Ban Ji's throat has become hoarse.
His eyes are vacant, his pupils somewhat unfocused from the torture.
At this moment, the jade pendant at his neck suddenly explodes with an inch of green light.
As the green light enters his brain, Seeing Ban Ji's gradually chaotic consciousness suddenly becomes clear.

He barely opens his eyes to check; various runes almost occupy his entire field of vision. Between the gaps of these runes, he sees his right leg and sees the purple intent spreading upward from his knee along his thigh.
"Sever it for me!"
Seeing Ban Ji swings his palm ruthlessly, his magic power erupting like a blade, cutting directly into his right thigh, actually severing it completely.
ottkΛno¢o
Blood flows across the severed leg, causing Seeing Ban Ji to gasp, his teeth clenched tightly.
His gaze is like a vulture, staring at the wound, and he discovers with disappointment that there is still purple intent remaining, which is continuing to erode his flesh and blood in all directions.
As the purple intent intensifies, the bone-deep itch returns!
And the right lower leg he actively severed is swept into the corner by his magic power.
The already unrecognizable right leg, now seemingly without suppression, lets itself go, erupting with an even more powerful suction force, pulling all the remaining mechanism creations in the cultivation secret chamber toward it.
The sound of gears meshing is as dense as a rainstorm, and the levers strike like hammers again and again. The right lower leg begins to swell rapidly once more, and the chaotic aura spreads outward, gradually carrying a hint of danger.
Seeing Ban Ji pants heavily, covered in sweat.
The whispering in his ears grows increasingly intense, and the runes before his eyes become so dense that they occupy his entire field of vision, with the few remaining gaps rapidly disappearing.
At this critical moment, Seeing Ban Ji, relying on his last shred of clarity, forms seals with both hands.
Divine Art—Blind Foolishness!
A large mass of gray smoke descends from thin air, falling onto Seeing Ban Ji.
The gray smoke rapidly condensed, transforming into a bone-porcelain-like grayish-white shackle that pierced through Seeing Ban Ji's upper body. Two chains extended from his eye sockets into his cranium, then pierced out through his ears.
The Divine Art quickly takes effect.
The bizarre runes in Seeing Ban Ji's field of vision become blurred, as if covered by a hundred layers of grease.
The bloodshot lines in his eye sockets decrease by more than half, his pupils become unfocused and turn gray-white, and saliva mixed with blood drips from his foolishly smiling mouth onto the floor tiles.
The previously unbearable itch recedes like a tide, and although the excruciating pain that had been suppressed rises, Seeing Ban Ji is unable to perceive it in his current state.
The wound is not treated, but the blood has stopped, all because the flesh and blood at the wound have transformed into brass-textured mechanism armor plates.
Seeing Ban Ji lies in a pool of blood, his right leg from the knee down empty. He smiles foolishly, his ten fingers still digging tightly into the floor tiles, his nails completely turned back.
And his severed leg is still trembling constantly, its form like a bubble, constantly expanding and contracting, its appearance also changing constantly in bizarre ways.
The severed leg finally turns into a giant object the size of a carriage, its surface filled with various mechanism components. They are mixed together without any regularity, yet they are able to operate.
Bang.
With a soft sound, a human-like mechanism palm suddenly extends from the side of this ugly and bizarre giant mechanism object.
The palm is still sticky with bizarre gel; its five fingers tap on the floor tiles, and after groping around, it seems to sniff out the location of its prey, turning its direction and lunging directly toward Seeing Ban Ji's main body.
But its momentum stops abruptly the next instant.
It is dragged down by the giant mechanism monster behind it, and its reach is extremely limited.
But the palm does not give up; it has a beast-like desire from its origin, and it drags its giant body, moving desperately toward Seeing Ban Ji's main body.
At first, it does not move at all.
But soon, its body trembles slightly, constantly shedding various broken mechanism fragments that attach to the palm, letting it slowly grow larger.
The palm gradually gains strength and truly moves a tiny bit, approaching Seeing Ban Ji's main body.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
The Blind Foolishness Divine Art reaches its time limit, and the condensed gray smoke shackles turn back into gray smoke and dissipate.
Seeing Ban Ji regains his reason and suddenly opens his mouth, gasping for air.
The excruciating pain is like a sharp iron awl, chiseling fiercely into his nerves, but the fact that there is only pain and no sensation of itching makes the experienced Seeing Ban Ji ecstatic.
He endures the excruciating pain, quickly checks himself, and scans his surroundings.
A giant, bizarre mechanism monster seems to be looking down at him. The palm has become as large as a python, still an arm's length away from Seeing Ban Ji.
But it does not move at all, staying in its original place without the slightest aura.
Seeing Ban Ji's heart skips a beat, and then a smile appears on his pale face.
The smile expands rapidly, and finally, he lets out a triumphant laugh of having survived.
"This activation of the Immortal Talent, I have successfully survived it!"
Ten Thousand Mechanism Demon Monster.
This Immortal Talent has made Seeing Ban Ji different since he was a child.
At first, the activation interval of the Ten Thousand Mechanism Demon Monster talent was long, and the principles instilled into Seeing Ban Ji were minimal.
The young Seeing Ban Ji only thought it was a nightmare.
But when he entered school, he showed an almost intuitive understanding of the cultivation of mechanism arts.
According to common sense, mechanism arts involve calculation, but Seeing Ban Ji only had to take one look to feel from the bottom of his heart: the result is like this.
And every time he calculated it, the result was consistent with his intuition. In fact, intuition even surpassed calculation; after all, calculations can also be wrong.
This excellent performance immediately attracted the attention of Seeing Ban Ji's parents.
And as the activation interval of the Ten Thousand Mechanism Demon Monster decreased and the principles increased, Seeing Ban Ji showed symptoms of fainting and convulsions. And after every "illness," his "intuition" for mechanism arts would grow by a large margin.
Seeing Ban Ji's parents could not solve the "strange illness" and could only seek help from the family.
The family researched deeply and discovered many mysteries of this talent: it is not any talent recorded, but it is of great importance. It not only teaches mechanism arts but also imparts knowledge of the Demonic Sect and the Strange Dao.
And this knowledge acts directly on Seeing Ban Ji's body, rather than being instilled into his Spirit Sea, which caused him to develop an almost intuitive "understanding."
Understanding is only the appearance; it is Seeing Ban Ji's body itself knowing what is going on.
Fainting is also only an appearance; the reality is that Seeing Ban Ji cannot bear the principles of these three aspects, so his body can only spontaneously protect itself, causing Seeing Ban Ji to faint and avoid the instillation of principles.
But this instillation cannot be completely exempted, and as the Ten Thousand Mechanism Demon Monster activates more frequently, the intensity of the instillation becomes more ferocious.
After discovering this, the Ban family completely valued Seeing Ban Ji.
At first, the Ban family thought this was a drawback of the talent, a sequela, but after discovering the reality, they were shocked—this is not a defect at all, it is clearly just that Seeing Ban Ji cannot keep up.
The talent was confirmed as an Immortal Talent, and the Ban family centered around Seeing Ban Ji, secretly tailoring a cultivation path for him.
The "Greedy Mechanism Demon Heart Art" was carefully selected, and the Ban family paid a heavy price for it.
This demonic art specializes in the Spirit Sea, in order to improve Seeing Ban Ji's learning ability. Instead of passively using his body to bear the irrigation of principles, it is better to learn actively.
This was a correct move, allowing Seeing Ban Ji to adapt quickly, his strength climbing step by step, and his cultivation of mechanism arts and the Demonic Dao advancing by leaps and bounds.
After Seeing Ban Ji reached Foundation Establishment, the Immortal Talent was once again significantly enhanced!
Seeing Ban Ji began to struggle to cope.
The Ban family naturally would not give up the future hope possessing an Immortal Talent and helped with all their might. To alleviate Seeing Ban Ji's predicament, they provided a lot of help from all aspects.
And to completely solve this defect, they sought help from the outside while maintaining secrecy.
An accidental opportunity led them to encounter the Wandering Immortal Dun Yi, who was traveling the world. This strange person's cultivation reached the Void Refinement level and was famous throughout the world, almost recognized as the strongest divination cultivator of the current era.
The Ban family's Supreme Elders piously begged, and Dun Yi calculated for Seeing Ban Ji once, calculating that the latter's Immortal Talent was unique—it was a King's Mandate!
"All talents throughout history are bestowed by Heaven."
"The Way of Heaven is to diminish the surplus and replenish the deficiency. Looking at history, no king has ever been born from mechanism arts or the Strange Dao."
"Heaven has placed a piece here. Of course, it is certainly not just this one place."
"In the future, if Seeing Ban Ji succeeds, he will be the King of Mechanism Arts and the Strange Dao."
"It is reasonable for you to name this Immortal Talent Ten Thousand Mechanism Demon Monster."
The Ban family's Supreme Elder did not understand and asked: "Since that is the case, why are there principles of the Demonic Sect involved in the instillation?"
Dun Yi sighed leisurely: "This is a great tribulation hundreds of years later; the demonic rises and the righteous wanes, which is the great trend of the two worlds. Since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the world has been at peace for a long time, and the righteous path has covered everything, reaching the peak of prosperity. Prosperity leads to decline; the tide rises and falls, which is the cycle of Heaven and Earth."
The Supreme Elder asked again: "The cultivation world has lasted for nearly a thousand years; this great tribulation will inevitably be a turmoil of Heaven and Earth. Will a Fourth Emperor be born?"
Dun Yi said: "The Heavenly Secrets are chaotic; how can we calculate it? It is just that this time, even if it is only a king, he is the most special one in history."
This answer made the Supreme Elders of the Ban family present feel refreshed.
What is the most special?
Mechanism arts and the Strange Dao becoming king—isn't that the most special?!
In other words, our clan's Seeing Ban Ji possesses a King's Mandate and is very likely the future king who will unify the world?
Is our Ban family very likely to overcome the development shackles of hundreds of years and leap to become one of the most powerful royal relatives in the world?
The Supreme Elder knelt on the ground and continued to seek advice from Dun Yi.
Dun Yi only left behind a pile of precious materials: "Our fate is exhausted. This pile of precious materials can be used with the Clan Ancestor Mechanism Chain to calculate Seeing Ban Ji's path to becoming king. Just follow the results of the calculation and proceed step by step to achieve the King's Mandate. At worst, it will be a pattern of dominating a country." ===== CHAPTER 758 =====
