Chapter 758: Unlike Ning Zhuo: I have come to uphold justice

This conversation between the Ban family's Supreme Elders and Dun Yi changed Ban Ji and also changed the entire Ban family.

After the Supreme Elders discussed fiercely for three days and three nights, they made a major decision—to fully support Ban Ji in becoming king!

They secretly mobilized the Clan Ancestor Mechanism Chain, closely linking the fortunes of the Ban family and Ban Ji, forming the closest connection where one prospers and one suffers together.

This became the family's biggest secret!

They constantly consumed Dun Yi's precious materials to divine the path forward for Ban Ji.

Ban Ji also grew rapidly on the calculated path, and even though he cultivated the demonic path and often had unconventional actions, he always maintained a good relationship with the family.

For this session of the Flying Cloud Assembly, the Ban family and Ban Ji had already started preparing more than ten years ago.

Whatever was calculated, they prepared for.

Of course, because the time interval was long, sometimes the results calculated first and those calculated later were contradictory.

Divination is just a kind of calculation and deduction; the results of the real world's operation will also change due to many unexpected factors.

A few years ago, the Supreme Elders used the Clan Ancestor Mechanism Chain to calculate that the starting place of Ban Ji's King's Mandate was at the main mountain gate of the Wanxiang Sect. The time was this session of the Flying Cloud Assembly.

All kinds of divination since then have had this result.

Qing Huangzi's inheritance 【Empty Valley Note Green Mechanism Tube】, Che Zhuzi's Void Spider Silk, and Blind Foolishness Gong's Blind Foolishness Divine Art are all Ban Ji's cultivation resources, the fuel for the formal eruption of the King's Mandate————

In addition to the Xingyun Small Trial, there are various tasks when formally arriving at the Flying Cloud Assembly.

The family also thoughtfully arranged the order for Ban Ji to obtain these opportunities. Frequent divination caused the family's fortune to constantly fall, secretly consuming massive resources and paying a very heavy price.

The Ban family looks glamorous on the outside, but their various payments for Ban Ji almost emptied the clan treasury.

Fortunately, this is the final investment period; once the King's Mandate formally erupts, it will show its power. At that time, sitting at home, blessings will come from the sky. Everything will go smoothly, and even with slight setbacks, one will be able to turn bad luck into good, and gain blessings from misfortune.

The Ban family's decades of cost-no-object investment will also enter the harvest period.

Mechanism Cave Abode.

Ban Ji is covered in sweat, gritting his teeth, cutting off the mechanism foreign object at the end of his right leg.

Some blood splattered, but the wound was immediately sealed by magic power, stopping the bleeding almost instantly.

Ban Ji performs healing methods.

His technique is extremely proficient, almost becoming an instinct.

There is no way around it; he has experienced this situation too many times.

Soon, his right leg grew back, and the newborn piece of skin was significantly whiter and more tender than other parts.

Ban Ji moved his lower leg, ankle, and toes, and stood up weakly.

He walked to the mechanism gathering object the size of a carriage in front of him, cautiously took out a scroll, and poured magic power into it.

The scroll gushed out countless tiny runes, which surrounded the surroundings, forming a three-dimensional magic array that wrapped the mechanism gathering object.

Subsequently, Ban Ji muttered in his mouth, increasing the magic power input, causing countless runes to bloom with brilliance, and the magic array activated with full force; the brilliance was stinging to the eyes, but it disappeared immediately.

Along with the disappearance of the magic array was Ban Ji's right lower leg.

The scroll became heavy, several times heavier than before. Countless runes formed circles, and in the center was a picture of a carriage-like mechanism, with a giant iron hand growing under the mechanism. The entire mechanism emitted wisps of purple intent.

And these purple intents have already begun to permeate and erode the surrounding runes.

The runes are temporarily firm, but Ban Ji knows very well that these runes can only last for a few months at most before they collapse. At that time, Ban Ji will have to use the magic array to seal it again.

Of course, this is no longer his business, but the Ban family's business.

Since more than ten years ago, Ban Ji began to use various methods to suppress his Immortal Talent Ten Thousand Mechanism Demon Monster. Let it only be enabled every once in a while to exert its power.

Every time the Ten Thousand Mechanism Demon Monster acted up, Ban Ji's body would alienate, forming a bizarre and terrifying mechanism gathering object.

These mechanism gathering objects are essentially irrigated with the principles of mechanism arts, the Demonic Sect, and the Strange Dao. They look bizarre and harmful, but their actual value is quite high.

They are equivalent to secret manuals and classics, recording the principles of three aspects, bestowed by Heaven!

Because of the Immortal Talent Ten Thousand Mechanism Demon Monster, these principles bestowed by Heaven were carried by Ban Ji's physical body.

In ten years, the number of these flesh-and-blood classics has approached ten thousand.

Ban Ji has not successfully read a single "classic."

"If it were just the principles of mechanism arts and the Demonic Sect, ordinary people could read and learn them. But it happens that the Strange Dao is mixed in————sigh!"

Ban Ji sighed deeply, rolled up the sealed scroll, and temporarily put it into his bosom.

His eyes flashed with sharp light, and he thought to himself: "This time, surviving the activation of the Immortal Talent was much easier than before."

"It's all thanks to the Blind Foolishness Divine Art."

"Hehe. Everyone thinks that I mastered the Blind Foolishness Divine Art to deal with enemies. In fact, using it on myself was my original purpose!"

According to the previous degree, Ban Ji would have to cut off at least two legs, and sometimes even sever his lower body at the waist, to finally survive a round of irrigation of principles.

But this time, Ban Ji severed his right leg, and it wasn't even the whole thing.

The help the Blind Foolishness Divine Art brought him was indeed huge, for all to see!

"For my sake, Father almost exhausted the family wealth and risked his old face to enable the Clan Ancestor Mechanism Chain many times to calculate the path forward."

"The Blind Foolishness Divine Art really has a miraculous effect on me!"

"Then the previous 【Empty Valley Note Green Mechanism Tube】, Void Spider Silk————"

Thinking of this, Ban Ji's face turned gloomy.

He gritted his teeth, and a cold killing intent permeated from the bottom of his heart: "Unlike Ning Zhuo, these two opportunities will be temporarily deposited with you."

"Hmph, when the time is ripe, I will come to take them myself."

"My human tribulation, I will break it myself!"

"At that time, taking your life along the way is also fine."

"And before that, the inheritance of the Nine-Layer Profound Soldier Armor is the most important. If I can obtain this soldier armor, I am afraid I can have a positive influence on the mechanisms that my flesh-and-blood body bizarrely transforms into when the Immortal Talent activates, or even control them!"

Time is limited, and this inheritance is clearly more important.

Ban Ji could only put Unlike Ning Zhuo aside first.

The next day.

Ban Ji arrived at Soldier Armor Peak early.

This mountain peak stands above the sea of clouds, looking like a giant bronze blade pointing obliquely at the sky from a distance.

The towering mountain body is composed of countless layers of ink-green rock. Red-gold mineral veins seep out between the rock crevices, like blood grooves after a weapon is quenched.

The main mountain ridge is as sharp as the back of a knife, and hundred-forged rock plates derive from both sides; although the rock plates are also ink-green, they carry a gray-white luster.

Red-gold mineral veins mostly appear between the mountain bellies. Looking from afar, it is like golden water flowing down from the peak of the mountain, finally gathering in the mountain belly, accumulating into golden rivers and golden lakes.

The inheritance place of the Nine-Layer Profound Soldier Armor is not on the mountain peak, but in a cave in the mountain belly—Profound Armor Cave!

"It's Ban Ji!"

"It really is him."

"What bad luck, how did I run into him here?"

"Steady, the Xingyun Small Trial for the Nine-Layer Profound Soldier Armor has been held in every session; although there is competition, it is not fierce."

"Yes, there are rarely deaths in the Profound Armor Cave, and as long as you reach the third level, every cultivator can obtain a piece of armor."

Many cultivators recognized Ban Ji.

Ban Ji also obtained a stone tablet; although his momentum was not as strong as Unlike Ning Zhuo and Situ Xing in the first wave, he could be considered to have stood out.

More importantly, many rumors circulating at the Wanxiang Sect mountain gate recently involved Ban Ji and Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Ban Ji leaned against the mountain wall, listening to everyone's discussion about him, and narrowed his eyes, revealing an amber cold light from the slits of his eyes.

As time passed, more and more cultivators gathered at the entrance of the Profound Armor Cave.

They were also sizing each other up and exchanging greetings, silently calculating the strength of their competitors and their own position among them.

Naturally, there were not many cultivators who could attract Ban Ji's attention.

"Ao Pan. Golden Core body cultivator, good at whip techniques. His tendons and meridians stretch like a flood dragon and can be extracted from the body to shred magic treasures."

"Zhang Wangxing. Foundation Establishment level body cultivator, combined with low-grade talent, can cause his entire body's flesh and bones to undergo violent deformation, changing inexplicably."

"Tie Zheng. Golden Core level martial cultivator, good at saber techniques, cultivating twelve Golden Core level saber beasts."

"Lu Zeng. Golden Core level mechanism cultivator, good at making various mechanism components, can adapt to massive mechanism creations."

Regarding the Xingyun Small Trial for the Nine-Layer Profound Soldier Armor, naturally, there is not only this round. Ban Ji surveyed, and there were only four people who could alert him.

Because the Nine-Layer Profound Soldier Armor itself is at the Spirit Treasure level, and every piece of armor is at the Magic Treasure level, which is quite practical, it attracted the participation of Golden Core level cultivators.

For some Xingyun Small Trials, the publisher will strictly require cultivation. For example, Qing Huangzi's Xingyun Small Trial only required Foundation Establishment level cultivators to participate.

The two small trials of the Confucian cultivator group secretly took care of Unlike Ning Zhuo, limiting the cultivation range to the Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment stages.

The Xingyun Small Trial for the Nine-Layer Profound Soldier Armor is limited to the Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core range.

But in reality, Qi Condensation stage cultivators rarely come to participate. The biggest prize here, the Nine-Layer Armor piece, is at the Magic Treasure level, which is a bit too high-grade for Qi Condensation cultivators and not very applicable.

There are so many Xingyun Small Trials; Qi Condensation cultivators naturally choose those that are suitable for them, helpful, and have a high chance of success. There is no need to come to Profound Armor Cave to join in the fun.

It is not that there have been no cultivators who came to take risks.

But the result of joining in is often becoming a laughingstock and becoming entertainment for others.

Ban Ji silently evaluated his true opponents: "Only four people have threats; there are many people, and the chance of running into them is not high."

"Even if we run into each other, we should restrain ourselves and eliminate others; this is the wise move."

Ban Ji's own cultivation is at the peak of Foundation Establishment, but he has Golden Core level combat power. So, facing Golden Core cultivators, he is not afraid at all.

While he was observing others, others were also observing him, seeing Ban Ji leaning against the mountain wall with an aloof posture, narrowing his eyes to size up others; he indeed had a certain bearing.

Whether it was his Ban family background or his stunning combat record against Golden Core cultivators in the past, others valued him quite a bit.

Many experts were also evaluating and thinking about objects to avoid in the upcoming Xingyun Small Trial.

Suddenly, Ban Ji's eye slits widened, he changed his standing posture, turned around, leaned against the mountain wall, his eyes blooming with sharp light, gritted his teeth, and stared fixedly at mid-air.

Seeing Ban Ji facing a great enemy, everyone was also shocked, following his line of sight, and turned around to look.

They saw a white-clothed youth riding a mechanism python made of green bamboo, wandering over.

The youth's head was slightly large; it was Unlike Ning Zhuo.

The mechanism he was riding was the Forest-Piercing Green Python Shaft from the inheritance 【Empty Valley Note Green Mechanism Tube】.

"Unlike Ning Zhuo! How did he come here?!"

"Did he guess I was here? Or was my information leaked?!"

In an instant, Ban Ji's expression changed drastically, revealing a hint of anger.

"The mechanism python he is riding, looking at its workmanship and style, should be Qing Huangzi's inheritance?"

"Hateful! This should have been mine!!"

Thinking of this, a surging hatred revealed itself in Ban Ji's eyes again.

The cultivators became restless at this moment.

"It's Unlike Ning Zhuo!"

"Although this child is not from our country, he is talented and has a broad future; he is a top-tier genius of this session."

"Unlike Ning Zhuo came here for the Nine-Layer Profound Soldier Armor, or specifically to snipe Ban Ji?"

"Hahaha, no matter the reason, there will be a good show to watch."

Under the eyes of everyone, Ban Ji could not leave————did he still want the Ban family's face?

Ban Ji did not know the secret of his King's Mandate. He saw the Ban family pay so much for him, and he kept it in his heart.

So, he would consider the Ban family.

Unlike Ning Zhuo landed on the ground, bowed to the surrounding cultivators, and introduced himself with a smile.

Most cultivators returned his smile or nodded to show goodwill. No one wanted to offend a genius cultivator with a bright future. According to the practice of previous sessions, almost all cultivators who emerged in the first wave were absorbed by the Wanxiang Sect.

After Unlike Ning Zhuo greeted them, he walked straight toward Ban Ji.

The crowd watching the show immediately took the initiative to make a path.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was expressionless and stood in front of Ban Ji: "Fellow Daoist Ban Ji, we meet again."

Ban Ji gritted his teeth, his killing intent was chilling, and he wished he could do it on the spot and smash this white-clothed boy into ashes.

But this is the Wanxiang Sect's main mountain gate, and there are rules; he cannot do it, and he dares not do it.

Ban Ji only said fiercely: "Unlike Ning Zhuo, this time is not like on Green Bamboo Peak. You actually came to block me again; who gave you the guts? Why do you think you can defeat me? Hehe, you will eat the bitter fruit for your arrogance!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo immediately showed a solemn expression: "Eat the bitter fruit? I walk straight and sit upright, upright and clean, what evil things have I done? How can I eat the bitter fruit?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo frowned and said righteously: "On the contrary, it is you, those who do many unrighteous deeds will surely die! You plotted to harm me for the sake of coveting my Golden Core mechanism puppet. You must know, I came to deal with you this time, not just for myself, but for the thousands of innocent people who have been persecuted and plotted against by you!"

"Your Ban family wants to take out heavy gifts to settle the matter?"

"Hmph, how could I, Unlike Ning Zhuo, be a person who forgets righteousness for profit? You underestimate me too much!"

"I came this time to deal with you, to stop you, to let you know what is eating the bitter fruit, what is called evil not overcoming righteousness, and what is called justice will surely win!" ===== CHAPTER 759 =====
