Chapter 619: Chapter 280: Senior Sister Red Snake_2

Red Snake blinked: "Is it going to be this formal? Do I need to stand up and bow to you three times?"

"Are you planning to get rid of me? Just make me a cup of tea and that will do."

"Alright then, Mr. Wang, just you wait!"

Red Snake got up to find Mu Dan, and after a busy moment, came back carrying a cup of tea for the ceremony.

They didn’t quite understand why making a cup of tea constituted completing a certain ceremony;

But when Wang Jixuan took the tea from Red Snake’s hand and took a gentle sip, his demeanor, eyes, and bearing changed instantly.

"Sit down."

Master Wang slowly said:

"The skills I teach you today must never be used to wantonly kill the innocent. If your mind loses control and you forget who you are, I will personally step in to straighten you out!"

An intense sense of oppression emanated from Wang Jixuan.

He used his Mahayana Soul to place some kind of imprint on Red Snake.

Red Snake, feeling a burst of insight, knelt down seriously, imitating how it was shown in those Golden Age martial arts comics, and bowed deeply to Wang Jixuan.

"Teacher, please rest assured! Red Snake will definitely not betray humanity!"

The sunlight outside was just right, and the sunlight conducted from the surface was still very warm.

Wang Jixuan asked Red Snake to sit down and began to impart some insights into demon cultivation, something he had in abundance now.

In the corner, Deep Sea watched this scene with a slightly complex expression.

He understood the reasoning.

Why did he suddenly seem a generation younger?

...

The next day.

"Those three old guys from the Bright Wings communicated briefly with me yesterday."

Oh well, still had to come over and talk to him.

No.5 said simply:

"They said they’d give you one last chance to take the initiative, lower your stance, and contact them. Judging from their intent, they want to cooperate with you.

"It’s highly likely they noticed my injuries have suddenly improved a lot, and my strength has recovered somewhat."

The Daoist who was carving the array base paused his work and asked with a frown: "And then?"

"There is no ’and then.’ I got tired of their rhetoric, and finding no common ground, I simply severed the communication."

No.5 leaned against the door frame, arms crossed, with a slightly helpless look on her palm-sized pretty face:

"They still refuse to face reality, clinging to their dreams of the old era.

"They even insist on displaying their high status in the Spirit Cultivator Civilization through details like seating arrangement and chair style.

"However, as much as I dislike them, you still need to consider holistically.

"The three of them control the Capital of Spiritual Energy, which is home to tens of thousands of spirit slaves, and they can bestow even more abilities upon these spirit slaves... This is indeed a force that cannot be ignored."

Wang Jixuan continued to lower his head, focusing on carving the array base.

He was thinking too, but after a moment of reflection, he couldn’t help but shake his head.

The Daoist chuckled: "Do you know what the most important thing is for us cultivators?"

"What?"

"Spirit and conviction."

Wang Jixuan spoke softly:

"If one’s spirit and conviction are damaged, cultivation will likely become mediocre and stagnate, ultimately achieving nothing.

"If these three Spirit Cultivators, regardless of anything else, are respected and consistent in words and deeds in your Spirit Cultivation Civilization, even if our ideologies differ, cooperation isn’t utterly impossible.

"But if they can’t even persuade you and act without virtue, faith, emotion, or integrity, how could I tarnish my spirit and conviction by aligning with them?

"I strive to break through the void and reach the Upper Realm.

"I can’t have reached there only for the Grandmaster of our sect to call me over, saying — Wang Zheng, come here, let me check your memory to see if you’ve shamed our Tao. Then, my legs tremble, and I kneel, begging the Grandmaster for mercy."

No.5 couldn’t help but laugh.

She leisurely remarked: "So, the memory you showed me before, was it when you were struck by lightning and died, trying to break through the void to the Upper Realm?"

"Yes, unfortunately, I failed, and thus began this journey of trial."

Wang Jixuan sighed softly:

"That was indeed a painful memory of mine, and you are the only one who knows about it, so don’t spread it around."

"Then I should feel honored, huh."

No.5, seeing Wang Jixuan’s actions, took the initiative to ask:

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"You seem really busy, juggling this and that."

"It’s not too bad. Wu Man has been sharing a lot of my burdens," Wang Jixuan remarked casually, "If you want to help, go to your subspace and see if there’s any leftover scraps that contain spiritual energy. Bring me some; I’m going to craft a magic artifact."

"Magic artifact?"

"I’ll gift you one based on the total value of the materials you provide."

"Hmm?" No.5 blinked, said nothing, and transformed into a butterfly fluttering away.

Not long after.

No.5’s dedicated spiritual servant, Xiang Tiantian, came running with a huge stone box. Upon opening, it was packed full of ’leftover scraps’.

Wang Jixuan’s eyelid twitched several times.

Mistake;

He had just bragged a bit.

According to the rules of the cultivation world, even if an artifact refiner wants to hoard materials, they can only keep up to 20%. If all these get refined into various magic treasures, setting aside the burden on his war puppet, No.5 would receive more than ten formidable magic treasures.

Hmm...

In life, adaptability is key.

Maybe, change from keeping 20% to returning 20%?

Xiang Tiantian timidly said, "Sir, my master said, feel free to use these; they’re all things she doesn’t care for."

Wang Jixuan: ...

Well then, now he felt even more guilty.

He gathered his spirits, thanked Xiang Tiantian, and called Mu Dan over to carry the box.

Wang Jixuan suddenly thought of something and glanced toward the neighboring school.

Formation, magic artifact, Old Sophie’s core circuit, spiritual awakening...

A flash of inspiration sparked in the Daoist’s heart, giving birth to a bold idea, though he felt it was a rather rash one.

What he just thought of was...

Could he use the formation, combined with the core circuit at hand, and Shen Qionglin’s awakening technique for a collective awakening of their spiritual ability users?

This really was a bit rash;

But it might have amazing results.

Wang Jixuan pondered for quite a while, but decided to finish his routine tasks before considering such a risky move.

He looked at the nearby Demon Suppression Tower design plans...

’Try to tackle both fronts, don’t put all eggs in one basket.’

’If the [widespread awakening] approach fails, then train a few trustworthy artifact refiners, let them self-produce magic artifacts, equip frontline spiritual ability users, won’t that greatly enhance their strength?’

The Daoist was invigorated.

Time was limited with so many tasks; he had to distribute every hour wisely.

Thus, Wang Jixuan instructed Mu Dan to make an alarm and divided the twenty-four hours into six segments: war puppet healing, dual cultivation, artifact refining, alchemy, school teaching, running the Demon Suppression Tower, then decisively throwing himself into the great endeavor of building strength.

If the focus remains locked here;

In this small studio, the clock on the wall rotates like flowing water, Wang Jixuan’s figure seems to pace back and forth, gradually vanishing.

He continuously brainstorms in front of the alchemy furnace, producing batch after batch of elixirs;

He’s busy in the newly opened corner of the studio, creating various simple magic artifacts;

His main body and war puppet are sometimes shrouded in white gas, while Jiao Long’s alien soul regularly hunts the residual soul of Blade Beast.

Shadows repeatedly appear in the studio, only to quickly disappear.

Wu Man appears the most frequently; this young man deeply trusted by Wang Jixuan is also his capable assistant, already a promising little talisman maker.

Red Snake and Shen Qionglin appear here almost as often as Wu Man.

Red Snake has been officially recognized as a named disciple by Wang Jixuan, and with no combat duties, constantly stops by to chat daily.

Shen Qionglin primarily comes for Red Snake, reporting the progress of his research projects, deeply involved in the Demon Suppression Tower project.

This went on for over half a month.

When the awakening status of the Sixth Pillar near the D2 Combined Combat Zone reached 85% and stabilized at that value for three days;

When the entire human society tightened, various resources, firepower, densely transported to the anticipated engagement zone.

As Wang Jixuan’s Demon Suppression Tower plan progressed smoothly, reaching tower construction;

Two waves of uninvited guests appeared near the 76th fortress simultaneously.

On a dune to the south, a man and a woman in ragged clothing silently gazed towards the 76th fortress location, with massive spiritual energy surging within them, bodies covered in scales, each with a special crystal core in their abdomen.

High in the northern sky, a space battleship slowly descended towards the 76th fortress, a man and a woman, spiritual ability users in Space Fortress military attire, discussed their upcoming plans.
