As I was about to collapse under their assault, the Taiyuanzi system activated passively and triggered an automatic protection mechanism, forcibly taking control of my body to kill them…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu glossed over the fact that the system had been invaded by unknown energy and might have mutated, and even skipped mentioning the system’s overdrive synchronization mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The self-protection mechanism is indeed a fundamental function of the Taiyuanzi system, but when we initially configured the system on the Zero-Type Sleep Pod, this feature was never meant to activate under normal circumstances. It seems directly replacing the consciousness of an alien inhabitant unintentionally triggered it.” Dr. Chen nodded thoughtfully as he listened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...I thought I wouldn’t be able to return to Blue Star anytime soon, so I decided to strengthen myself as much as possible for self-preservation, and planned to join a cultivation sect in Tongzhou…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...When I met the Golden Core elder of the Four Symbols Sect, he released a burst of firelight from a pearl in his hand, which directly penetrated my body and reactivated the sub-system’s self-protection mechanism. Then, after seeing a vast expanse of white light, my consciousness suddenly returned to Blue Star.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, in the same room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven or eight experts in varied attire each held a thin electronic notebook, taking turns asking Wang Yu questions about the other world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Comrade Ding, when you arrived in the other world, did you notice any difference in gravity compared to Earth? Did you feel heavier or lighter? Or was there any unusual odor in the air?” asked an elderly man with white hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, everything felt normal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Comrade Ding, have you ever seen these plant forms in the other world?” Another expert, a middle-aged woman, showed him her electronic notebook, where images of bizarrely shaped plants flashed rapidly, asking him to identify each one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve never seen any of them,” Wang Yu replied honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You mentioned before that you saw many ancient weapons like swords and knives in the other world, many of which could cut through iron like mud. Can you visualize their shapes, colors, and surface patterns as clearly as possible?” Another burly elder gestured to a nearby assistant, who placed a pale red translucent helmet on Wang Yu’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Wang Yu’s astonishment, a multicolored beam shot from a glass aperture on the helmet’s top, projecting a three-dimensional hologram of a silver longsword one meter in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly elder immediately leaned forward, eyes wide, using a silver rod to point at the holographic blade, making it rotate slowly so he could examine it from every angle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a minute later, Wang Yu wore the same helmet, but now before his eyes appeared a massive, foul-boned fish with a single horn and swirling black aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an adjacent huge room, over thirty men and women from various fields sat along a long table, organizing newly collected data from the other world, occasionally arguing fiercely over some issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu sat on a chair, pressing both palms against a white display button; lines of black clerical script slowly appeared on the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were the miscellaneous texts and classics he had collected in the cultivation world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, behind a one-way observation glass in the adjacent room, General Xu and Dr. Chen watched Wang Yu through the glass, speaking in low tones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind them stood seven or eight researchers in white lab coats, monitoring advanced precision instruments and reporting continuously to the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blood pressure fluctuations normal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heart rate normal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pupils show slight abnormal changes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Body temperature normal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fourth day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Wang Yu’s display, lines of the Yinshui Gong incantation began to appear, followed by strange spirit patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the glass, General Xu and Dr. Chen watched Wang Yu with solemn expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, deep beneath the massive base, inside a heavily secured giant server room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An operator, guarded by several fully armed soldiers, watched the Yinshui Gong incantation displayed on his small screen and typed it word-for-word into a giant monitor using a specialized keyboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the bottom of the giant monitor, several glowing characters flashed repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Taiyuan Simulation Function Preparing…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at his temporary quarters, Wang Yu lay on his bed, closed his eyes gently, and murmured:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Activate overdrive synchronization mode.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…Overdrive synchronization mode failed… System reset, fusion level one hundred percent… Reset system? Reset system?…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wooden, mechanical voice echoed in Wang Yu’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu lay motionless on the bed, offering no response. After a long while, the mechanical voice grew fainter and finally vanished entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did a faint sigh escape his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fifth day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a specially designed room filled with metal spheres of various sizes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu stood in the center, eyes half-closed, arms open; the metal spheres rose one by one from small to large, then fell one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When his face grew pale and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, he suddenly opened his eyes—before him, a large metal sphere marked “50kg” shot upward, then crashed down to the ground a moment later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu sat heavily on the floor, staring at the golden metal sphere, his face filled with shock and delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good, good. Your magnetic field can lift one hundred jin of metal—that qualifies you as a D-class ability user. More importantly, you still have untapped potential; with specialized training at the base, ascending to C-class isn’t out of the question.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier you said you could only lift ten or so jin in the other world. It seems your Golden Technique has been amplified manyfold in our world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhao Jun, you’re in charge of Comrade Ding’s ability training from now on.” Dr. Chen clapped his hands in praise, then turned to a muscular man in a white tank top standing in the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, Doctor. My own telekinesis is also D-class, and since it’s the same category of psychic ability, guiding Comrade Ding to further develop his power won’t be a problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, training against an opponent with the same level and type of ability is the best way to simultaneously refine and enhance both sides’ powers.” The big man looked at Wang Yu with eager eyes and nodded firmly, then waved one hand toward the same metal sphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metal sphere instantly floated up with a “whoosh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu felt uneasy under the big man’s gaze, cleared his throat, and said to Dr. Chen:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Doctor, when will my game pod arrive?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Star River game pod will be delivered to your room tonight. Also, the base has already selected two groups of personnel.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Starting tomorrow, one group will learn the Four Beasts Technique and the Black Tiger Breathing Method from you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The other group will be guided by you on how to perceive spirit patterns and practice Yinshui Gong through breath cultivation,” said Dr. Chen solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1273,"2026-06-20T15:44:30.991Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","0242252f2ff8bb941d6b5807d6ebe8f5860de78026d733446d315171532f3b47","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-69","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-67",530,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-immortal-path-among-the-stars-cover.jpg"]
