Chapter 790: War Preparation

Beside him, Cui Yu said: "What's wrong with you? Suddenly started deep in thought."

Little Wei Yuan's spiritual sense turned, discovering that after chatting with Immortal Yan Shi for a long time, only one breath had passed here. Thus, his heart was awestruck; immortal means were indeed hard to fathom. No matter how much he did in the Azure Void, no matter how strong the military was, if he couldn't ascend to immortality, it would ultimately be an illusion.

Little Wei Yuan then said: "Just now the Palace Master had some instructions, and I need to go and prepare. We will discuss military matters later. Oh right, don't just focus on military affairs and delay your cultivation. If you need any elixirs, go find Uncle Xu to refine them; Uncle Chuhe has the medicinal herbs, all on my account."

Cui Yu responded casually, absent-minded. Once he sent Little Wei Yuan out of the main hall, he turned around and summoned the generals, continuing to be busy with military affairs.

Now, besides the five hundred thousand heavy armored elites, the Azure Void also had three hundred thousand breastplate standing infantry, totaling eight hundred thousand. The reserve soldiers who guaranteed a certain training time each year were two million, and daily affairs were piled up like a mountain. Cui Yu was also a person who couldn't let go, so he could only try his best to do more.

Little Wei Yuan returned to the Immortal City, sat down in the quiet room, and carefully examined the Dao method bestowed by Immortal Yan Shi.

This Dao method was named "Xuanhuang Bell," which could gather the power of a world and transform it into a Xuanhuang ancient bell, capable of shaking the life-bound spiritual fire of sentient beings with spirits. In the hands of an immortal, one bell sound could make all sentient beings in the entire world fall into a coma.

The Xuanhuang Bell was called a Dao method, but in reality, it was a combination of array and Dao technique. The original immortal technique version required setting up three hundred and sixty-one arrays in a small world, each array having different functions. After gathering in one place, a qualitative change would occur, and the power would increase in a straight line, capable of completely shaking the entire heaven and earth of a golden small world.

It was just as the saying went: "An immortal flicks a finger, and the world returns to silence."

During this period, Little Wei Yuan crammed on immortal knowledge and finally knew why immortal small worlds were marked with various colors such as gold, silver, blue, and green. Originally, thousands of years ago, the grading of immortal small worlds was varied, each with its own standards, and the names were more explosive than the next—chaos everywhere, primordial mist filling the sky. Just listening to the names, one couldn't distinguish which was high-level and which was low-level.

Later, the ancestor of the Tai Chu Palace appeared, fighting with immortals for the first time in Master Yu Jing, picking several small worlds with the longest and most explosive names to slash in a row, only to find that one was weaker than the next; they were all primary worlds. At that time, the ancestor's cultivation was not high and could not endure long battles, and the killing moves were consumed on low-level small worlds, resulting in that immortal cutting off its tail to escape.

After suffering such a big loss, the ancestor of the Tai Chu Palace created the "Double Pupils of Breaking Delusion," directly observing the essential rank of the small world and marking it with different colors, clear at a glance, simple and crude.

Since then, the Double Pupils of Breaking Delusion had been integrated into the basic cultivation method of the Tai Chu Palace, and basically everyone who cultivated to Master Yu Jing brought their own Double Pupils of Breaking Delusion.

Because the Double Pupils of Breaking Delusion were truly easy to use and the threshold was not high, the alien races also secretly learned it, and it soon became popular. As a result, now in the eyes of immortals, all small worlds brought their own colors, and whatever name they took didn't matter; even if they took one, no one looked at it. Some immortals who were afraid of trouble simply used numbers as code names, one, two, three, four, five, and so on.

A golden world was a small world where heaven and earth could already support a Master Yu Jing completion cultivator, and there were likely more than one completion cultivator.

The level of an immortal small world generally stopped here. If it could go one step further, it would be the seven-colored immortal world where the immortal's main body was located. At that time, this world would have to break away from the immortal's control and form a world of its own.

In the eyes of immortals, this was rebelling and establishing independence, and no matter how high the price, it had to be suppressed.

After being modified by Yan Shi, the Xuanhuang Bell was greatly simplified. Now it was composed of nine small arrays, corresponding to the Five Elements and Four Symbols, each extracting different world power, gathering and merging at Little Wei Yuan's place, transforming into a Xuanhuang ancient bell.

This Dao method was to extract the power of the Mind-Reflection World, and only a World Lord could use it, so it was a proper Master Yu Jing middle-to-late stage Dao technique. The power of the Xuanhuang Bell lay entirely in how the Mind-Reflection World developed; the casting itself was not difficult. Little Wei Yuan only used one day to understand all the arrays and replicated them in the Human Renjian Yanhuo.

Casting the Xuanhuang Bell required simultaneously controlling nine types of Dao power, and also required nine additional spiritual senses to assist and cooperate, totaling eighteen spiritual senses controlling simultaneously, which was equivalent to handling eighteen tasks at the same time.

This was far from Little Wei Yuan's true strength, so Little Wei Yuan handed both the Master Yu Jing version and the original version of the Xuanhuang Bell to the girl Yin-Yang for optimization, seeking to exert his maximum strength.

After handing over the task, Little Wei Yuan was still a bit uneasy and specifically exhorted that there was no need for too many arrays, at most two hundred and fifty-six. Little Wei Yuan was still a bit strained when operating five hundred and twelve tasks at the same time.

Just one Xuanhuang Bell was still far from enough.

Wanting to hold off the attack of a Master Yu Jing completion plus a group of Master Yu Jing, even if only for one stick of incense, was not a simple task. When Master Yu Jing made a move, the power was heaven-destroying and earth-shattering, often deciding life and death in an instant. Being able to hold for one stick of incense basically meant being able to hold for a day, or even several days.

Little Wei Yuan didn't dare to be careless. If he lost, it was a small matter, but if he implicated True Lord Yan Shi, and this thickest thigh had an accident, the sky would collapse.

Little Wei Yuan descended to the central city, this time landing in the West City. The West belonged to Metal, dominating killing, so many research institutes related to war and military had moved here one after another. It was said that researching here, spiritual thoughts flowed like a spring. Since Little Wei Yuan returned from absorbing the world fragments, more than a year had passed. Much of the knowledge he obtained from the world beyond the heavens had been gradually absorbed and transformed, so the appearance of the central city had changed greatly. Although it was still dominated by the immortal mountain style, many tall buildings integrating the styles of the two worlds had appeared.

Little Wei Yuan went to the "Heaven and Earth Opening Research Institute," which was the oldest research institute in the Human Renjian Yanhuo and also the largest comprehensive research institute. Several research institutes of the same period had declined in competition, leaving only the "All Beings Equal War Research Institute" thriving.

Although most of the old research institutes had declined, new research institutes were constantly emerging.

Little Wei Yuan looked to the side and saw a magnificent building standing there, covered in glass, reflecting the sky light, with a curved surface spiraling upward along the building body and gathering at the top. Inside was a magnificent steel structure, self-contained, with an extremely avant-garde shape, even by the standards of this world, it was already somewhat rebellious.

That was the "Sky Net Research Institute" that had risen in the last two years.

At the beginning, when Little Wei Yuan first entered the world fragments beyond the heavens, he caught a few black birds, and the girl Yin-Yang analyzed the data architecture leading this world from the black birds. A group of people became interested in this and started to study it in depth; this was the prototype of the Sky Net Research Institute.

Since then, these people had constantly absorbed various knowledge that Little Wei Yuan put into the Human Renjian Yanhuo, mainly the various works of Tinghai and Immortal Yan Shi, plus Little Wei Yuan constantly catching black birds and collecting knowledge from all sides of heaven and earth, gradually integrating the knowledge of the two worlds, establishing a perfect system, and starting to run wildly on an autonomous Dao.

The underlying architecture of the various systems newly launched by Little Wei Yuan was the masterpiece of the Sky Net Research Institute.

It was just that the architectural style of the Sky Net Research Institute was incompatible with the entire Human Renjian Yanhuo, and Little Wei Yuan also felt it was somewhat dazzling, always feeling a sense of inexplicable killing intent, not knowing where it came from. But Little Wei Yuan had repeatedly investigated inside and outside the research institute, and every living person was very normal.

Little Wei Yuan only stopped for a moment and then entered the Heaven and Earth Opening Research Institute. Now the research institute was already a huge building complex, one after another, connected head to tail, becoming a tight ring. Little Wei Yuan went directly to the Gene Engineering Research Branch. As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he saw a group of people arguing.

"Our office area is too small, we must add a building."

"Distribute housing! Distribute housing!"

"Why do we only have three elders in the Academic Review Elder Council? Agriculture has seven!"

"Exactly! What era is this? Without our gene engineering, does agriculture still have a future?"

"Holding onto the past! Stuck in a rut! Stubborn! Occupying a position without doing work..."

In the center of the crowd stood an old man, in formal attire, sweating on his forehead, holding his hands high, trying his best to explain and calm the dissent, but the group of young people around him refused to listen and were still arguing endlessly.

It wasn't until Little Wei Yuan arrived that this group of people stopped arguing. Little Wei Yuan entered the Gene Research Branch to check recent results, especially the virus research project he had ordered.

Over the past year or so, most of the gene knowledge Little Wei Yuan had recorded had been absorbed and transformed, but the cracking of that mysterious gene fragment had made no progress.

Now the research institute, based on Little Wei Yuan's work experience at the Umbrella Corporation, using the viruses of this world as carriers, had already developed several biological particle gene weapons. But no matter how they studied, these weapons were always lacking something, not as powerful as a mouthful of poisonous smoke from Sun Yu's Dharma Form.

The researchers racked their brains and finally found a reason: human genes themselves were too weak, and the weapons lacked a powerful basic gene structure. And the immortal plants had too high a status; analyzing their genes far exceeded the existing capabilities of mortals. As long as they wanted to crack them, they would attract heavenly thunder.

After listening to their demands, Little Wei Yuan, who also had a foundation in gene engineering, thought for a moment, his figure flashed, and he had already arrived at the sea.

He summoned, and the Shadow Dragon immediately flew out from the clouds, landed in front of Little Wei Yuan, wagging its head and tail, and said respectfully: "World Lord, what are your orders?"

Little Wei Yuan looked it up and down and asked: "Can you lay an egg?"
