Chapter 1069: Observing
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
Looking at the two men who were trying hard to ‘commit suicide’, Fang Xingjian shook his head and thought, ‘The reason these two old men are trying so hard is probably that they’re being pressured by me.’
Although this method of integrating the Great Dao’s Testimony was a little stupid, it did give Fang Xingjian some enlightenment. He did not continue watching the two of them wiping out their own consciousness and instead arrived on a platform with a single move.
There were three heaven-blessed cultivators cultivating martial arts here. Although Fang Xingjian already had Blood Sea as his experiment material, he was still extremely curious about the life forms known as heaven-blessed cultivators. He also wanted to test his conjectures about the world’s consciousness.
When Fang Xingjian was observing the Three Mountains Four Peaks’ situation, Xiao Shen was also actively researching the weapons he had just gotten his hands on.
As their energies had been completely depleted, he was unable to test out these weapons directly. He could only channel in Gang Qis or use the means of shattering void space to slowly observe the internal and external structure of the armor.
‘Mmm... these materials... I’ve never seen them before. Are they the new steel materials that the imperial court developed?
‘What are these threads?
‘This linking structure seems to be able to strengthen a person’s strength... But how does it move?’
The more Xiao Shen researched, the more he exclaimed about these weapons’ profoundness. Before coming into contact with these suits of armor, he found it hard to believe that such weapons could exist in this world.
Be it the material, structure, the various principles behind them, or the remarkable prints and appearances, Xiao Shen found it hard to understand them. If it was not because he had witnessed the performances of these two weapons on the battlefield previously, he would almost think that they were merely decorations.
The part he was most concerned about regarding these two weapons was the source of their powers.
On the battlefield, he had been unable to sense the powers of these two sets of armor. The other Tiangang Realm experts could only sense Wang Tian’s Xiantian Realm, Eunuch Wang’s Disha Realm, and Zhao Yinglan’s Tiangang Realm.
It was because they could not sense the powers of these two weapons that the allied forces charged in while underestimating their opponents.
Xiao Shen was extremely curious about what had propelled these two weapons. He instinctively felt that this was a very important point.
It was a pity that amongst the two sets of armor that Xiao Shen had snatched, there wasn’t one with the higher specifications version of the Universe Knight System. What they used were not the mixed driving forces from a quantum vacuum and antimatter engine. Right now, both of them had completely depleted their energies, making it even harder for him to detect what was so special about them.
However, Xiao Shen was a heaven-blessed cultivator after all. Despite there being many principles he did not understand, the world’s consciousness knew about them.
After a few days, he was feeling that his head was spinning, that he understood less and less, and that he was getting increasingly giddy from conducting the research. However, just when he was going through all that, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind. The exoskeleton armors no longer seemed that hard to understand.
‘Although these weapons are completely different from martial arts’ theories, they still use the energies contained in the world.
‘The transmission of energies isn’t done through the body, meridian channels, and acupuncture points but all sorts of strangely shaped metal.’
This was a heaven-blessed cultivator. Heaven-blessed cultivators were martial arts cultivators who could receive reinforcement from the world’s consciousness. Not only could they learn all sorts of martial arts that were blessed by the heavens but they could also directly receive the knowledge channeled in by the world’s consciousness.
Therefore, regardless of whether this world had martial arts, heaven-blessed cultivators would still be destined to become experts.
Xiao Shen followed this unique feeling and soon found the origin source for the energy of the exoskeleton armor he was holding.
It was a small cube on the back of the exoskeleton armor. Xiao Shen’s Gang Qi slowly invaded into the cube. Countless supporting connections were linked to a piece of stone that was inscribed with densely-packed prints. They appeared very mysterious. In the center of the prints, there were a few big words.
‘Potentate Engine?’ Xiao Shen read it out slowly. ‘Is this where the profoundness for this set of armor lies?’
If it could be said that what Xiao Shen saw was a motor, energy furnace, nuclear reactor, or something similar, then he would probably sink into doubt and bewilderment again.
However, a piece of mysterious stone that was inscribed with densely-pack prints was a lot easier for him to understand.
There had been too many similar things in legends and mythologies, like the heavenly stone, divine stone, heaven-mending stone, and world-annihilating stone. When he saw the stone and the words inscribed on it, all sorts of possibilities automatically popped up in his mind. He looked at this piece of stone with a scorching gaze and thought about how he could make use of the mysterious powers in this mysterious stone.
Just as Xiao Shen was being led into a blind alley by the means that Fang Xingjian had left behind, Fang Xingjian had already arrived onto a flat platform, and his gaze swept out toward the three heaven-blessed cultivators here.
These three people had been found after the Three Mountains Four Peaks spent a tremendous amount of effort, undergoing great difficulty. They had then been brought here personally by Xiao Shen.
One of the middle-aged men had a cold gaze, and the pernicious aura he emitted soared into the sky. He had on dignified and extravagant clothes, but there were pent up frustrations in his eyes.
If Fang Yong werhere, he would be able to recognize that this person was Prince Xin’s third son who had managed to escape—Fang Tao.
Ever since Fang Tao awakened as a heaven-blessed cultivator, his cultivation had soared by leaps and bounds. After being brought to the Three Mountains Four Peaks by Xiao Shen, he received the nurturing from various grandmasters in martial arts and could freely use all sorts of heavenly and earthly treasures. Consequently, he improved at a tremendous rate. Right now, he had reached the pinnacle of the Disha Realm and cleared 72 acupuncture points.
Beside Fang Tao was young Loree who had followed Xiao Shen to check out the killing scene that the Sharp Swords troop had left behind. Right now, Disha Qis were also seething throughout his entire body. 72 streams of auras seethed intensely like there were 72 dragons howling incessantly.
All of Loree’s family had been beheaded as his father had participated in the imperial court’s power struggle. He was the only one who managed to get away as he had been away for his studies. From then on, his goal had always been to overthrow the Great Jin Dynasty. Earlier on, he had been supporting the rebel Liang Bo in taking over the Min Region. After Loree awakened as a heaven-blessed cultivator, he was brought to this place by Xiao Shen.
The last person looked like a young lady who was about 17 or 18 years old. Her skin was fair and smooth, and she looked like a young miss who had lived a comfortable and sheltered life over the years.
However, this young miss was also seething with pernicious auras throughout her entire body at the moment. Her 72 acupuncture points crazily engulfed all sorts of Disha Qis from the world.
She was Prince Ding’s most doted and youngest daughter, Fang Yuan. Since young, she had been taught by Flying Heavenly Sword Nong Buyi, who was a Tiangang Realm expert. Still, the aptitude she showed had always been mediocre.
It was only recently when she awakened as a heaven-blessed cultivator that all her accumulated foundations erupted. She became the first person out of the trio to reach the pinnacle of the Disha Realm.
At this moment, the three of them were cultivating concurrently while wearing proud expressions. They had proud dispositions as if they were proud children of the heavens.
Clearly, their improvements during this period of time had made them extremely confident of their aptitude as heaven-blessed cultivators.
After all, they were able to master everything they learned very quickly and comprehend martial arts variations that were stronger than the original version. They could see through all moves instantly, making it hard for them not to feel confident when they displayed such great aptitude.
“I feel that I can already strive to attain the Tiangang Realm,” Fang Yuan said, clenching her fist. “I wonder how the battle with the feudal vassals’ allied forces turned out. I don’t wish to find out that the battle is already over after I’ve come out from seclusion.”
