Chapter 309: Mecha and the New World
Chapter 309: Mecha and the New World
Main Universe.
Star River Island Villa.
Fang Xing lay on the sofa, sprawled out elegantly, his entire being exuding a lazy aura, like a salted fish.
'Over at my Cultivation Avatar, various forces know that I can rival the Pengma Island Lord, and they've all been well-behaved...’
'After the Teleportation Array opens, it'll be a daily influx of wealth... There's also a group of Core Formation Cultivators managing the Spirit Herb Garden and the Bazaar.'
'Next, I just need to refine pills and take them, then cultivate diligently for a few decades...'
'I'll only need to go over when Fire Cloud Lord attacks, to keep things under control!'
He had cultivated to become a Martial Saint to better enjoy life.
With everything calm for now, it was time to have some fun.
"Xiao Lan!"
Fang Xing immediately leaped out of the villa and stood in mid-air, gazing at his private spaceship as it ascended. "Let's go... to the Entertainment Planet. I want to test the power of this Martial Saint's Vajra Body!"
...
Several days later.
The blue private spaceship hovered outside the Star Sea Corporation.
Fang Xing jumped out of the cabin, full of vigor: "As expected, the Martial Saint's body is extraordinary, with an unyielding life force... It's truly powerful!"
He walked into the laboratory and saw Dr. Wang hard at work: "Doctor, how is it?"
"The tests have been conducted, and it's confirmed that the two samples you sent last time are of extremely high value. One is suspected to be from a Demon God's progeny, and the other from the Demon God Incarnation himself... Furthermore, although genetic sequencing is impossible, there's definitely a bloodline connection."
Dr. Wang pushed up his glasses: "Are you planning to use these two as the main materials for the mecha?"
"Yes, that's right."
Last time, Fang Xing had only sent two samples; most of the materials were still in his possession.
When it was time to start building the mecha, he would definitely stay here to oversee the process, living in the factory.
Otherwise, all sorts of accidents could happen.
"These two samples don't seem to be on the Federation's list of Demon Gods..."
Dr. Wang lowered his voice, hesitating.
"You don't need to worry about the source. Just build the mecha to the highest standards."
Fang Xing waved his hand dismissively.
Having reached the Martial Saint level, he was already part of the Federation's upper echelon.
Even the Bluesky Federation couldn't investigate him whenever they wanted.
Moreover... as a high-ranking official, he had access to private channels, and some matters weren't considered major issues but were rather part of an unspoken rule.
"I'll do my best..."
Dr. Wang sighed: "But boss, once the scale becomes too large, it'll be impossible to hide it for long..."
"It's fine. I'll be there, won't I?"
Fang Xing smiled slightly and went to the office. After reviewing a few documents sent by Victoria and Xi Ling, he thought for a moment and made a call.
On the other end of the line was Han Chunfeng!
"Haha, it's Little Fang!"
Han Chunfeng was in high spirits lately, having overcome numerous challenges to finally create a Martial God-level mecha—the Moon Goddess!
From then on, their Nine Swords Academy would have two Tenth Stage-level powerhouses.
Even among the elite universities, they would stand out.
If it weren't for the presence of the Eleventh Stage founding principal at Sacred Armor University, they could have competed for the top university ranking.
"It's like this. Through some special channels, I've obtained two Demon God materials..."
Fang Xing spoke up: "I don't know if Nine Swords Academy is interested in setting up a dedicated research institute here?"
Demon God materials were somewhat taboo, so he planned to involve more people, spreading the risk.
"Eh? You always manage to get your hands on good stuff."
Han Chunfeng thought for a moment: "In principle, I support it. After the Upper House Council discusses it, we can start the project... Also, we can send personnel right away. She's been wanting to meet you for a long time."
"Is it... Nan Gong Xue?"
Fang Xing smiled wryly.
"Haha, it's Snow Girl. She should also be considering what to do after becoming a Martial Saint... And you, you've dug yourself a hole."
Han Chunfeng hung up with a smug look.
But Fang Xing sighed and exhaled a long breath: "Forget it... Anyway, the overall outcome is good. The twists and turns along the way are insignificant..."
...
Several months passed in a flash.
Fang Xing stayed in the laboratory of the Star Sea Corporation, and as the boss, he naturally received the best treatment, comparable to the villa, with a dedicated cultivation room.
In the cultivation room.
He sat cross-legged, and streams of aura power gathered, faintly forming the shape of a mystic beast.
"To fully unleash the power of a Martial Saint-level mecha, it's best to master the Beast Diagram..."
The Will Rune Scroll, secretly passed down in Bluestar University, consisted of three diagrams.
Fang Xing had already perfected the Starry Sky Diagram, and he had also made progress in the Beast Diagram.
According to the Proficiency Panel's estimation, once he reaches the Master level, he should be able to fully comprehend the Beast Diagram as well.
As for the last diagram, the Nameless Diagram, Fang Xing still finds it incomprehensible.
However, with the help of the Proficiency Panel, he should be able to gain some insight into it once he reaches the Master level.
"Understanding the Nameless Diagram... This is a prerequisite for piloting a Martial God-class Mecha. Although, it's just one of many prerequisites..."
To pilot a Martial God-class Mecha, one must not only be a Martial God themselves but also build the Mecha! These two major prerequisites alone have stumped countless martial artists.
In comparison, understanding the Nameless Diagram is just a minor condition.
Fang Xing's aura continuously gathers, transforming into a hazy beast, and various roars of wild beasts echo within the secret chamber, gradually fading into silence.
"Daily routine of comprehending the Will Rune Scroll... Aside from that, there's the Star Martial Six Absolutes."
He looks at another section of the attribute panel.
After the Eighth Stage, the Star Martial Six Absolutes gradually become insufficient, and apart from the simplified version of the Buddha Palm and the Martial Qi Origin, new ultimate skills are needed to promote the advancement of this martial art!
After all, an Eighth Stage Martial Saint cannot rely solely on the Buddha Palm to conquer the world; they would easily become exhausted after a few moves.
It is essential to master several conventional martial arts!
"Martial arts are graded, with D-grade and C-grade being the lowest, followed by B-grade, A-grade, and S-grade... Above S-grade are various secret ultimate skills... Standing at the pinnacle of all secret ultimate skills are the unparalleled martial arts!"
The most suitable one is the best.
Although Fang Xing has also seen martial arts like the Star-Extinguishing Sword, the Void-Severing Blade, and the Nuclear-Flattening Palm in the Book of Ten Thousand Spirits, they are clearly not suitable for him.
The Star-Extinguishing Sword requires the prerequisite profession of the Sword Saint! The Void-Severing Blade needs a spatial ability user! The Nuclear-Flattening Palm must be used in conjunction with high-level mecha!
"It's better to learn several S-grade martial arts; with enough quantity, there will be a qualitative change..."
Fang Xing stands up, takes a quick shower, changes into casual clothes, and begins his inspection of the factory.
In the Mecha Construction Chamber, he can see a pitch-black giant skeleton through the glass.
Through the Great Sun Furnace's perception, at the core of the skeleton, is the seed core he has already refined into his innate spirit treasure!
"The seed of the biological mecha has sprouted... and then, from nothing, it constructs its skeleton, flesh, and blood... The skin membrane is replaced with armor, and a large amount of inhibitor is injected... Of course, the Will Runes must also be engraved..."
Although there are countless challenges in the process, in simple terms, the construction of the Demon God Mecha is just these few steps.
Fang Xing's martial will surges out, sensing every inch of the mecha.
"Height: 103.4 meters... Among the various Martial Saint-class mechas, this one is relatively medium-sized..."
"On the skeleton, 'Ksen Alloy' is attached... Along with the inhibitor and the engraved Will Runes..."
As he carefully comprehends, his eyes suddenly widen, "Level 2 Alert, immediate evacuation!"
"Yes!"
Dr. Wang immediately presses a crimson button, and the glaring warning lights flash.
The employees who were originally working on the scaffolding immediately react as if facing an enemy, quickly fleeing using light body techniques or gliding boards.
The heavy multi-layered protective doors close tightly.
37 seconds later, the black skeleton suddenly raises its right hand.
Crack!
Several steel cables are snapped, and its right hand opens, as if reaching for Fang Xing, but it freezes in mid-air.
"Has it gone berserk?"
Dr. Wang adjusts his glasses and watches the scene through the glass.
He sees layer upon layer of white light radiating from the black skeleton.
The robots that remain in place fall one after another, like wheat being harvested.
—Death Authority! It even bestowed the concept of 'death' upon these robots!
"It's not a rampage, just an unconscious twitch, an innate reflex..."
Fang Xing shakes his head. Through the refined core of the mecha, he can sense the precise timing of this reflex, similar to a frog's jumping reflex, which can reduce casualties...
Even when building a proper mecha, there is a possibility of casualties in the factory.
And for biological-type mechas, the casualty rate rises even more sharply.
However, with Fang Xing's help, this situation is suppressed.
Without the occasional glitches of the Demon God Mecha, the work becomes much safer, and the mecha construction progress significantly increases.
"Boss, it seems you have a high degree of compatibility with this mecha... You can already sense the release of its innate power."
Dr. Wang flatters.
"Hmm, I might have some talent in this aspect."
Fang Xing nods, earning a wave of admiring and astonished gazes.
Suddenly, a figure entered the room.
The person had two braided pigtails, wore thick-rimmed glasses, and held a notebook, giving off a rustic-style scholarly vibe.
It was none other than Nan Gong Xue!
"Fang Xing! I've finally caught you."
Nan Gong Xue gazed at the chaotic interior of the factory, and at the pitch-black half-metallic skeleton, her eyes filled with a fanatical gleam. "Explain to me, where did these Demon God materials come from? The Domain Foreign Demon God of Death Authority, we in the Bluesky Federation have never encountered such a being... It might not even exist among the known Domain Foreign Demon Gods... This is a Demon God lost to history!"
Seeing Nan Gong Xue's expression, Fang Xing felt a headache coming on.
This Vajra Realm expert had an abnormal obsession with ancient Demon Gods.
"These... I obtained them through the black market, smuggled from aliens..."
He shrugged, offering an explanation.
"Hehe..."
Nan Gong Xue's expression clearly said, "Do you think I'm a fool?"
"What else could it be?"
Fang Xing spread his hands, "Could I have conjured them out of thin air? Even if I colluded with the Demon God Sect, they would never provide materials of the Demon God Progeny and Domain Foreign Demon God... That would be a desecration and a grave disrespect!"
"You seem to understand the psychology of those Demon God believers quite well..." Nan Gong Xue nodded, "Even if they obtained the remains of an enemy faction's Demon God Progeny, they would immediately offer them as a sacrifice to their master..."
"Alright, alright, I'm going back to rest."
Fang Xing yawned.
Nan Gong Xue smiled slightly, removing her glasses, and as she did, it was as if a seal was lifted, her entire demeanor changed, and her beauty even surprised Victoria. "Then... shall we have dinner together? I recall you still owe me a candlelight dinner."
"Er..."
After some thought, Fang Xing made a decision, "I guess it's not impossible..."
...
The next day.
Fang Xing woke up and rubbed his waist.
"Sigh... I'm already over fifty, I can't deny my age any longer..."
"I was fine at the entertainment planet's wine pools and meat forests, but a female Vajra Realm cultivator almost broke my back..."
"Does the Nine Swords Academy really teach this? It's truly terrifying..."
He habitually glanced at his attribute panel and noticed that his Martial Will Rune, Great Sun Bodhimanda Mantra, and even his Buddha Palm had all increased in proficiency.
And there was an even more surprising discovery:
Name: Fang Xing
Age: 52
Occupation: Immortal Warrior
Eighth Stage: Martial Saint
Martial Will Rune: 166/200 (Master)
Dragon Tiger Post: 800/800 (Grandmaster)
Star Martial Six Absolutes: 1022/1100 (Grandmaster)
Dragon Elephant Vajra Unbreakable Divine Technique: 800/800 (Grandmaster)
Great Sun Bodhimanda Mantra: 350/400 (Master)
Heavenly Mother Virtue Golden Lotus Twin Guardian Scripture: 1/400 (Master)
Buddha Palm: 57/100 (Proficient)
Gates of the Multiverse: 1/100 (Locating)
...
"The limit of the Star Martial Six Absolutes' proficiency has increased again... Does this mean there's no limit to martial improvement?"
"After using the Buddha Palm a few times, its proficiency increased rapidly, and it'll probably reach the Master level soon..."
"Of course, the most crucial thing... is that the Gates of the Multiverse has opened again."
Fang Xing was filled with anticipation.
So far, the Gates of the Multiverse had opened twice. The first time, it led to a Cultivation world, opening the path of the Immortal Warrior for him.
The second time, it opened to a Demon God world, and the biggest benefit so far was the source of materials for the Martial Saint and the future Martial God Mecha.
So, where would the third world lead to?
"If the previous speculation holds, the world that the Gates of the Multiverse opens to is related to the 'energy' used. Opening the Cultivation world was completely accidental, as the energy was already attached to the Gates of the Multiverse..."
'The second time, a Demon God world opened because it devoured the Master of the Gate School, using the power of the Void Gate to directly connect to a Demon God, and it was even a Domain Foreign Demon God from this universe...'
'This is far less impressive than the first time, crossing universes, and it highlights the gap in power.'
'The third time the Gates of the Multiverse opens, the main energy source will likely be from some offerings of the Gate School and the obelisk... It probably won't open to another universe's great world like the Cultivation realm, but rather a smaller world?'
'But after all this time, it should be better than the second Demon God world, right?'
Fang Xing looked at the progress bar of the Gates of the Multiverse, his expression filled with anticipation...
