Chapter 676: Chapter 307: Beneath the Calm_2

The Daoist smiled dryly: "That can be imagined."

"The Jile Sky is the technology they left behind."

No.5 lowered his head to look underground, and said softly:

"This planet is somewhat different, I’ve been observing for a long time.

"Generally speaking, places where the air is filled with Spiritual Energy are places where the earth contains some special minerals. These minerals emit Spiritual Energy and can be collected by Blade Beasts.

"But this planet is different, there is no such mineral underground... or rather, not on a large scale, yet Spiritual Energy continuously flows from the earth’s crust outward.

"The Spiritual Energy emerging from different regions is more or less similar."

No.5 paused:

"In other words, there should be something hidden underground.

"Considering the situation with the Jile Sky within the Pillar Blade Beast, I suspect that beyond this planet’s surface world, there is a special world.

"Belonging to an ancient civilization, a massive Jile Sky."

Wang Jixuan: ...

"Actually, I feel quite good about Xiao Huating’s past self."

"There is no goodwill without reason," No.5 said calmly, "I have been watching her, what reason does she have to benefit us?"

Wang Jixuan asked: "You mean, she has some ulterior motive?"

"Maybe."

No.5 lightly shook his head:

"Because we are comrades now, and you indeed haven’t let me suffer, I have acknowledged you as a friend.

"That’s why I am telling you these guesses and secrets.

"Actually, there’s one more thing... Although I was deceived by the Bright Wings at the beginning, I also did some things that you might not like... when I was at the Snow Mountain Base..."

"No need to say that."

Wang Jixuan raised his hand to signal her to stop speaking:

"The part of Spiritual Ability Users controlled by Xing Dian, the source is from your side; Ji Xiao and Ji Yale, their tracks were exposed and hunted down, it was the information you gave them.

"I know all this.

"At that time, our positions were hostile, so I understand.

"Now we are friends, no need to let these cause any gap. This time, fighting against the Sixth Pillar and forcing the Spiritual Ability City to lower its head, you’ve done enough."

No.5 noticeably breathed a sigh of relief.

She displayed a serene smile, quietly gazing at Wang Jixuan.

No.5 suddenly asked: "How does it feel to indulge in desire?"

"Not bad..."

Wang Jixuan commented with a puzzled smile:

"Don’t tell me, at seventeen thousand years old, you’ve only been in love a few times."

"Hmph, I have had love experiences too," No.5 slightly raised her chin, then pouted, "But I’m not interested in these, I just want to become stronger and break through the limitations of the Core Circuit."

Wang Jixuan: ...

Goodness;

An ancient fairy in the mortal world!

He calmly diverged from this potentially awkward topic and briefly spoke of his exchange with Xiao Huating’s past self.

No.5 heard about her involvement—Spirit Cultivator trial, transforming into a true ancient civilization inheritor—No.5 showed no smile; her expression instead grew more solemn.

"I always feel there is a conspiracy here."

"Actually, it’s fine," Wang Jixuan spread his hands and shrugged, "What can they conspire for?"

"Your cultivation method?"

No.5 shook her head:

"I don’t know about this. My initial impression of the ancient civilization wasn’t good.

"The civilizations that destroyed this ancient civilization, a small part vanished naturally in the river of time, and the large part was conquered by our Spirit Cultivation Civilization.

"Spirit Cultivation Civilization is essentially the inheritor of the ancient civilization.

"In any case, you should stay cautious. They can indeed harbor ghosts in their hearts, especially since they know your background."

Wang Jixuan pondered for a moment.

Right now, No.5’s words indeed left him somewhat unsure.

No.5 turned her head to glance at the corridor, gracefully stood up, and courteously bowed to Wang Jixuan.

"Thank you for your care during this operation. I hope we continue to work happily together in the future."

Bang.

Her form reverted to that of a yellow-haired loli, her lips curling up as she raised an eyebrow at Wang Jixuan, her voice carrying a hint of childishness.

"Your girlfriend is coming over, so I’m leaving first! I’ll head back to the Pillar Blade Beast side overnight; their firepower defense line will take a few more days to be effective.

"Come to think of it, it is quite strange.

"Even if the interstellar gate can’t open within these months, how could the Blade Beasts be so quiet? It’s completely against their nature, so you better be careful."

Before she finished speaking, she had already turned into black butterflies and fluttered away.

The Daoist looked at the folding chair, thought for a moment, and then casually put it back in place.

Hmm, it’s best to avoid misunderstandings if they can be avoided.

Suddenly, No.5’s voice reminded: "You haven’t checked Old Sophie’s spire yet. I just took a turn inside, and there are a few severely injured Advanced Spiritual Slaves. I went ahead and took them for you!"

The Daoist shook his head.

This guy probably came over just to say that!

Wang Jixuan had some impression of those three Advanced Spiritual Slaves; he didn’t have much opinion on them, and it was fine to let No.5 take them away.

The War Puppet thing, one is already enough for now.

Clang.

The alloy door opened.

Lingtong, still dressed in battle gear, returned to their love nest. The Daoist, smiling warmly, approached, beginning to show concern for the lieutenant colonel lady.

The usual attentiveness of a gentleman.

...

If the Blade Beasts are calm for three to five days, that’s normal;

If calm for seven to eight days, there’s a touch of eeriness in that calm.

Yet Wang Jixuan had been cultivating peacefully inside Fortress No. 76 for more than half a month, with still no reports of large-scale movements by Blade Beasts. The biggest challenge humans faced, instead, was the Spiritual Ability City opening large-scale cloning experiments...

"Something’s off."

Wang Jixuan gathered many ’heroes’ within Fortress No. 76 for a brief meeting at the school.

"Have the Blade Beasts really not made a sound?"

Mu Dan quickly scanned the intelligence from various places again and said seriously: "Yes, Sir, it’s very calm everywhere."

Lao Zheng muttered: "Could these Blade Beasts have a bit of an M attribute? Enjoying being hit, every time hoping for even more severe hits in retaliation?"

"Brother Zheng, restrain your divine skills," Ji Xiao said with tears and laughter, "If the Blade Beasts hear your mockery and attack directly, what do we do?"

Wang Jixuan asked: "What about deeper underground?"

"There are deep-level detections and various seismic wave detections in all Blade Beast activity regions."

Mu Dan explained:

"Each fortress has detectors at the very bottom that can detect large-scale Blade Beast activities.

"At present, the Blade Beasts indeed have retreated their offensive.

"This may be related to the orders we issued using the Pillar Blade Beasts, they might be simply following orders."

"No way."

No.5, who had returned from the Pillar Blade Beast side, seriously refuted this notion:

"If there was only one Pillar Blade Beast on this planet, the orders might be effective.

"But the other Pillar Blade Beasts are merely in a state of bodily slumber.

"The Jile Sky within them is not affected by the Sleeping Circuit, continuously operating. Each Jile Sky has a special Galino, which can directly command the Blade Beasts."

What on earth is the enemy up to?

Wang Jixuan said gravely: "Perhaps the Blade Beasts are indeed waiting for the planetary barrier’s energy to dissipate, so they can bring reinforcements from outside."

Wu Man suggested: "How about I go to the Blade Beasts and scout? I can now understand their communication."

"That’s too dangerous," Zheng Shiduo quickly said, "Regardless of what they communicate, it takes large-scale mobilization of Blade Beasts to execute."

"Forget it," Wang Jixuan slapped his thigh, "Stop overthinking, it’s useless to overthink, everyone continue pushing forward with all plans, weapon improvements, large-scale production, talisman popularization, scripture promotion!"

The group worked hard to boost their morale.

Dongfang Zhenghong, who hadn’t spoken all along, asked: "If we were the Blade Beasts, what would be the top priority now? Total revenge? Or find a way to reclaim the Pillar Blade Beast? Or, find a way to deal with enemies capable of threatening other Pillar Blade Beasts?"

"The last one," No.5 shrugged, "That’s definitely what they would do."

Wang Jixuan chuckled: "So this means they just want to kill me now?"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Mu Dan suddenly raised her hand.

"Sir, the communication device you gave to that Galino is being activated... and they’re sending a communication invitation!"

"Look, speak of the devil."
