Chapter 636: Aftermath of Ascension, Preparing for Exchange

The tens of millions of players trapped in the Western Kunlun world woke up one after another. Under the efforts of the Central District and major monopoly consortiums to cover it up, this major accident was finally concealed!

It was just that the satellite array group that appeared before the Earth-Moon had formed a stable satellite array after controlling most of the outer space weapons, controlled by 360 powerful AIs, which once made the Central District government and many consortiums vigilant, fearing a machine intelligence crisis!

But after the accident at the Western Kunlun Research Institute of Fantasy International that day, the government personnel who rushed to the scene at the first time seemed to have found some clues in the remains left at the scene!

Escorted by a team of the most elite law enforcement martial cultivators, both the Nine Condensation Tripod, which served as the Western Kunlun server, and the Innate One Qi Chaos Primordial Fetus were sent to the government's research institute.

Subsequently, the Central District government's attitude toward the Zhou Tian Star Dou Array underwent a 180-degree turn. Think tanks of monopoly consortiums speculated that the government might have discovered something at the Western Kunlun Research Institute, very likely some key permissions to control the Zhou Tian Star Dou Array.

It was rumored that it was a ninth-grade magic treasure, a legacy of the mysterious True Immortal who walked out of Western Kunlun!

At the same time, there was news that the Heavenly Spirit Pearl that appeared in the Western Kunlun world this time might be a top-tier spirit treasure not inferior to the Western Kunlun Mirror, the core of the Western Kunlun world.

This disaster was also caused by the breaking of the seal by a peerless great demon sealed within it!

That mysterious True Immortal holding the spirit pearl broke into the Western Kunlun Research Institute, obtained the Western Kunlun Mirror, and used the power of the two great spirit treasures to seal that peerless great demon!

The True Immortal finally left behind the Zhou Tian Star Dou Array, passed down many cultivation methods from outside the heavens, carried the spirit pearl, and ascended away, leaving behind three sources of transcendence in this world: first, the Western Kunlun Mirror; second, the Zhou Tian Star Dou Array; and third... the Bronze Gate that sealed the Heavenly Demon.

What the government obtained this time was the star artifact of one of the Nine Luminaries Star Lords, the core star gods of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Array, which could control an important array eye of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Array.

Therefore, the government also became ambiguous again toward the many Corpse-Dissection Immortals trapped on the extraterrestrial moon, and never again proposed that the two sides join forces to tear apart the Zhou Tian Star Dou Array and let them enter Earth!

Holding a red umbrella, the woman who looked like a heavenly fox walked barefoot on the roof of a skyscraper in the city, looking up at the moonlight overhead, which was half-real and half-illusory, hazy amidst the light pollution of the city.

She stared at the man in green robes standing on the edge of the building not far from her and laughed in a low voice: "That ancient immortal quasi-sage has finally left! The ancient cultivators who appeared in this world were indeed related to that quasi-sage, and they disappeared together! And those other Weird Cultivators who traveled to this time point and tried to open the Bronze Gate are all dead!"

"Aren't you taking advantage of the ancient immortal's ascension to leave, preparing to seize that ninth-grade star artifact and control part of the permissions of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Array? Why did you turn around and let the government of this world get their hands on it?"

The man in green robes sighed helplessly: "We were playing little tricks under the nose of that ancient immortal; it was truly too arrogant! The origin of that ancient immortal is likely more terrifying than we imagined. I waited patiently until after he ascended before going to snatch that star artifact. I didn't expect that just as I broke into the Western Kunlun Research Institute, I saw an ancient bronze mirror floating beside that ancient immortal, standing on the spot and looking at me, and there was also a True Immortal with particularly long eyebrows beside him."

"I was really... almost died!" Scared to death! The man in green robes felt lingering fear in his heart.

"People like us, even if we travel to the past with the help of the Western Kunlun Mirror, are probably like ants in front of these big shots!"

The man in green robes slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, still carrying a trace of shock, and said slowly: "Moreover, the ancient bronze mirror floating beside that ancient immortal is likely the Western Kunlun Mirror! It actually gave me a feeling that they were very familiar, as if they were on equal footing and had the same status!"

"Impossible, what kind of great power is the Western Kunlun Mirror! It runs through the past and future and can make people travel through time and space at will; it is a genuine treasure of the Immortal Dao. Later generations' Star Palaces, places of Samsara, and Bronze Gates, although they can all use it to travel through time, no one dares to say they can master this precious mirror. They are just borrowing a trace of its power!"

"If that ancient immortal could be on equal footing with it, how could he disappear in history? Replaced by that saint of the Supreme Louguan Dao?" The demoness absolutely did not believe it.

"Anyway, although that ancient immortal ascended! But before he ascended, he likely used the Western Kunlun Mirror to travel to several time points. If we rely on the fact that we can use the Western Kunlun Mirror to travel through the past and future, we will inevitably suffer a big loss!"

"Even the legendary True Person Elder Changmei, who had already ascended, left a few figures in the future with the help of the Western Kunlun Mirror before ascending. That ancient immortal likely used the Western Kunlun Mirror to look at the future and traveled several times!"

"If we think we can take action on the timeline without any scruples, I'm afraid we will encounter that ancient immortal when we take action!"

"Just like when I wanted to seize the star artifact this time, and ended up seeing those two big shots!" The man in green robes was very fearful and whispered: "Fortunately, I was well-behaved. When I discovered the figures of the two big shots, I honestly helped the Central District government obtain the star artifact."

"Thinking about it now, the reason that ninth-grade star artifact could become the government's biggest trump card and stabilize the situation for a long time in the future is likely that the ancient immortal deliberately indulged it. Maybe that star artifact was deliberately left behind!"

"Moreover, the Western Kunlun Mirror itself has a great consciousness! The one who truly controls the Zhou Tian Star Dou Array in the future might be this supreme treasure. It is somewhat ridiculous for us to want to use the Western Kunlun Mirror to seize its own things!"

The demoness's face gradually became solemn, and she whispered: "Behind the Weird Cultivators is that existence in the Bronze Gate! The place of Samsara is the lackey of the Lord of Samsara!"

"Speaking of which, is our Star Palace really a force jointly founded by those Daoist traditions that cultivate with the help of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Array and those star gods who reincarnated as humans and left behind Daoist traditions? Behind us, is there no big shot laying out a layout?"

Speaking of this, both of them couldn't help but tremble.

The man in green robes opened his mouth slightly, his expression stagnant: "If there is also a big shot behind us, it is likely Western Kunlun..."

Speaking of this, he obediently shut his mouth. The arrogance of a traveler and the pride of a rising star of this generation of the Star Palace faded from his face, replaced by a trace of fear and panic!

………………

Yuan Yuan Chaoguang pushed open the sliding cover of the life-support pod, sat up half-naked, and subconsciously looked toward the window.

He frowned slightly and said: "No, why do I feel that scene is very familiar! Hiss... I seem to have had a very realistic dream!"

"Cultivators, the Heavenly Demon Secret Talisman tattoo on my body, the collector's edition life-support pod, nano true qi, immortals descending from Western Kunlun through my life-support pod, the Dao vanishing and the demon growing, the extraterrestrial heavenly demon descending into the world!"

"What is all this! I even dreamed that the Arasaka Group was captured, and a group of ancient people like Western Kunlun cultivators traveled here!"

Fragments of memories emerged in Yuan Yuan Chaoguang's mind, and he felt that the past few days had become blurred as if in a dream! But there seemed to be a trace of inexplicable spiritual light in his mind, making those emerging memories gradually clear.

"Virtual network cultivator?"

"By using the collector's magic artifacts in the Western Kunlun world, smuggling into reality to become control programs, mastering powerful technological weapons! Possessing powerful strength like a cultivator through 'magic artifacts'!" Yuan Yuan Chaoguang recalled that this seemed to be the truth he asked from a female cultivator in his dream.

But then he laughed: "How can this be true? If the collector's magic artifacts in Western Kunlun all possessed this kind of power, wouldn't the price have skyrocketed? If the monopoly consortiums in reality were relying on ninth-grade magic artifacts to control the whole world..."

"Then wouldn't I be a consortium candidate? I also have a sixth-grade... no, it seems to be a seventh-grade magic artifact! What is it called? Green Scale Boat? Profound Underworld Boat?"

"My memory seems to be getting worse and worse! Is it because I play too many games! Did I get cyberpsychosis?"

Yuan Yuan Chaoguang shook his head, got up, and walked toward the window. He pulled open the curtains, ready to stretch and look at the scenery outside the window. At this moment, countless siren sounds rushed toward him...

A spaceship, intertwined with green and black, with a fierce demonic aura, its surface covered with prismatic armor plates, and its whole body made of a black polymer material, looking very advanced, was floating outside his window.

The energy structure like dragon scales floated on the surface of the spaceship's armor from time to time, and the engine at the tail, like another round wheel, emitted a faint icy light flame.

The hull, composed of several prismatic surfaces, exuded a fierce heavy industrial mechanical aesthetic, and the ram at the front had already crystallized, with a sense of beauty that made one's blood boil amidst the ferocity.

The spaceship was flowing with a faint light, and the hatch was facing him!

A cold electronic voice suddenly emerged in Yuan Yuan Chaoguang's mind: "Eighth-grade spaceship Profound Underworld, permission locked—Ten-year-old riding a green ox, real name Yuan Yuan Chaoguang! Citizen number:..."

"You have been gifted the task reward Profound Underworld by Jade Chen Daoist, created with your seventh-grade magic treasure Profound Underworld Boat as the core program, built with the Zhou Tian Star Dou Array, and loaded. Do you want to lock the highest permission of this ship?"

Yuan Yuan Chaoguang opened his mouth wide without any image, his pupils dilated. He first slapped himself and muttered: "It doesn't hurt, so it really was a dream!"

"The Profound Underworld can bless you with an energy defense shield within a straight-line distance of 3,000 meters! Self-harm detected, do you want to lift the defense?" The electronic voice in his mind prompted like this.

"Lift, lift!" Yuan Yuan Chaoguang danced like a big monkey.

Seeing the faint white light on the surface of his body disappear, he reached out to touch the spaceship in front of him, feeling the frosted touch on his fingertips, and he trembled with excitement: "It's real! It's actually not a dream? Profound Underworld! Lock the permission immediately; I'm going to get rich!"

When his mood slowly calmed down, Yuan Yuan Chaoguang couldn't help but feel emotional. It seems that it was the Profound Underworld left for him by Jade Chen Daoist before his ascension that kept his memory from being cleared by this time reset.

That experience, which was like a dream, Jade Chen Daoist who looked like a white-haired youth, Sword Immortal Yan, the eldest lady of True Martial Technology, the female immortal with a drone, and that female cultivator of the Zhengyi Dao, an adventure was like a dream. Only the spaceship at hand could remind him that this was not a dream!

"Mr. Yuan!" Someone opened the door and broke into his house as if entering an uninhabited place: "We are investigators from True Martial Technology, and we want to ask you some questions!"

The investigator in a black suit and sunglasses had a cold voice and looked at the spaceship parked outside the window with a solemn expression.

At this time, another group of people jumped down from the airship in the sky. The leader opened a certificate and said to the investigator of True Martial Technology: "Central District Prosthetic Control and Virtual Crime Investigation Bureau! This Central District citizen is under our protection. You can leave!"

A group of people carrying various weapons and having undergone advanced prosthetic modification forced away the field agents of True Martial Technology and smiled gently at Yuan Yuan Chaoguang: "Mr. Yuan! There are some situations we would like to understand from you... I don't know if it's convenient now?"

Yuan Yuan Chaoguang stared, watching this scene, and had a feeling in his heart—

Perhaps his peaceful life would never return from now on!

…………

Brother Qian Chen appeared on the void cloud platform, still holding the imitation Western Kunlun Mirror in his hand.

The simple and unadorned bronze mirror surface dimmed slightly after leaving the world opened up by the Western Kunlun Mirror, but it soon brightened again, and the mirror surface exuded the ancient aura of time.

Under his feet was a nine-grade red lotus, like flames soaring, hazy and misty. Brother Qian Chen stood on it, as if he did not belong to the world!

This natal magic treasure had finally become a spirit treasure. Brother Qian Chen even felt that by slightly mobilizing its power, he could take the entire void cloud platform into it. Within the red lotus, it could almost open up a small world, capable of holding millions of people!

"A spirit treasure!" Brother Qian Chen's eyes were moist!

He finally had his own spirit treasure. Stimulated by the Western Kunlun Mirror, he deeply remembered how poor he was.

Walking into the Pingshu Blessed Land, the few white deer raised by the four of them immediately ran toward Brother Qian Chen with their hooves. Their weight loss results were remarkable, and they finally had a trace of immortal aura. Before they could go up and ask for food, Ning Ning Shimei Si was the first to step out of the green stone gate.

The twenty-two Yellow Turban Divine Generals behind her had already possessed the True Martial robots, turning into tangible Dao soldiers, surrounding her.

At this moment, with these twenty-two Dao soldiers as the array eyes, a divine domain was faintly opened up around Si Princess Qingcheng. Within the divine domain, countless thought heavenly flowers bloomed and extinguished, reflected in her eyes, which was a divine Dao Dharma body that could not be described strictly.

"Ning Ning Shimei's divine Dao Dharma body has improved again, and it seems to be nearing small success! If she refines it for a few more decades, she might be able to impact the Yang Spirit and achieve the status of a Yuan Jun!" Brother Qian Chen smiled and bowed.

Si Princess Qingcheng had worry in her eyes and sighed: "Although my Primordial Dao can cultivate both immortals and gods, it is ultimately based on the Immortal Dao. My own cultivation is still that Heavenly Bestowed Divine Talisman and natal true talisman. Now my Heavenly Bestowed Divine Talisman has received feedback from the divine Dao and is about to be promoted to the third grade, turning green and purple. But my own cultivation has only just achieved the natal true talisman in the Qiongming World through the Luo Tian Great Ritual."

"To go further, I lack the heat. My own cultivation has not yet become an Yin Spirit; how can I suppress a third-grade divine talisman?"

Ning Ning Shimei was worried, her face drooping, and she wrinkled her nose: "To avoid deviating from the path, I might have to ask my father to seal part of the power of the divine talisman with the Heavenly Master Seal!"

Brother Qian Chen smiled and threw the bronze mirror in his hand to her: "Here! Return the item to its original owner. Ning Ning Shimei truly has great luck. Originally, this might have been a hidden danger, but who told us to encounter the real Western Kunlun Mirror in this Samsara task?"

"This divine artifact imitated by the Great Fangshi has benefited greatly from encountering the real Western Kunlun Mirror. The so-called lack of accumulation and heat is just a lack of time to polish."

"But with this bronze mirror, what Ning Ning Shimei will lack most in the future is likely time!"

As he spoke, Brother Qian Chen raised the ancient mirror, using its light to fix Si Princess Qingcheng in place. Si, the junior sister, was shrouded in the mirror's light; she was dressed in white and slightly wrinkled her delicate nose, as if she had sensed something. Suddenly, she exclaimed in surprise, "This mirror can already accelerate time! One day in the outside world is one month in the mirror's light. To cultivate like this for two years is equivalent to sixty years for an ordinary person!"

"After refining this mirror, not only can you move through time to cultivate, but you can also use the trace of spiritual light obtained from the Western Kunlun Mirror in the mirror to lock your spirit and cultivate at thirty times the speed of an ordinary person, while your lifespan passes as normal. After Ning Ning Shimei obtains this mirror and polishes it for a few years, she can be promoted to an Yin Spirit!"

Si Princess Qingcheng turned around and threw the ancient mirror back into Brother Qian Chen's hand, shaking her head: "No, such a precious thing, why not leave it for Yan Yan Shixiong to use, so you can be promoted to a Primordial Spirit as soon as possible!"

Brother Qian Chen shook his head slightly: "For me to prove the Primordial Spirit, time is no longer effective!"

He sighed with his hands behind his back: "If I want to prove the Dao now, I can take that step at any time. However, because I inherited the karma of the Supreme Louguan Dao, my cultivation path has a very serious hidden danger. I must prove the Immortal Dao nine times before I can attempt to solve it! Therefore, this thing is useless to me!"

"It's Yan Yan Shixiong Yan, Ning Ning Shimei Ning, and the others who might have use for this treasure."

"I gave this item to Ning Ning Shimei long ago. Although there is an opportunity to encounter the main body of the Western Kunlun Mirror and go further, it is also Ning Ning Shimei's opportunity. So Ning Ning Shimei, don't push it away. Use this mirror as soon as possible to cultivate into an Yin Spirit! In the future, when Ning Ning Shimei Ning breaks through the Core Formation bottleneck and Yan Yan Shixiong Yan is promoted to the Yang Spirit, they might also have use for this treasure!"

Since Brother Qian Chen had said so much, Si Princess Qingcheng could only accept the precious mirror, secretly deciding in her heart to treat this treasure as property of the team, and whoever needed it for cultivation could borrow it!

At this time, Yan Yan Shixiong Yan and Ning Ning Shimei Ning also walked out of the green stone gate!

Ning Ning Qingchen held Feng Shi; the pale gold feathers and the black hair hanging down from Ning, the junior sister, formed a sharp contrast. The aura around Feng Shi was perfectly rounded, possessing a pure aura like the sun, which made Brother Qian Chen slightly startled.

He had not expected that before Ning Ning Qingchen had even reached the first rank of Core Formation, Feng Shi would have already refined her own demon core into a Solar Divine Fire Pill that was nearly first rank.

This hen had abundant Yang energy. Before, she had refined the Demon-Breaking Golden Needle, nurtured a trace of Sun Divine Fire in her inner core, and eaten I don't know how many spirit pills from Brother Qian Chen. Now she had purified her inner core and become a great demon of human count!

"The Guanghan Ice Soul is Taiyin, and the demon core Feng Shi has cultivated is clearly Taiyang. They cultivate together, yet they benefit and complement each other! With Feng Shi's help, as long as she obtains another portion of Ice Soul Bingpo Bingpo Hanguang Gang and Taiyin True Sha, Ning Ning Shimei Ning will also be able to form a first-rank pill!" Brother Qian Chen silently calculated the opportunity for Ning Ning Qingchen to form her pill and discovered that five years later, she would have a chance.

However, she had to find the Gang and Evil before that!

Although Ning Ning Shimei Ning's foundation was quite good when she reached Foundation Establishment, it was not enough compared to them, the true disciples of the Daoist sects. Therefore, she must condense Sha and refine Gang to have a chance to make up for her foundation and form a first-rank pill!

"It just so happens that I have obtained the authority of the Samsara Envoy, so it won't be so pit-like to exchange for some materials from the Lord of Samsara!"

"The harvest this time is not small. If Ning Ning Shimei is ruthless, she can also exchange for a few buckets of Ice Soul Bingpo Bingpo Hanguang Gang Qi. I will add some more here, and exchanging for materials for Core Formation is not a problem! Gang and Evil Qi are ultimately hard to find. Ice Soul Bingpo Bingpo Hanguang Gang Qi might only be found in the Great Bright Realm of the North Pole or the Cold Plains of the South Pole. If you force it, you might delay the Core Formation!"

Brother Qian Chen calculated in his heart, thus eliminating many tribulations for Ning Ning Shimei Ning and paving a path. ===== CHAPTER 637 =====
