Chapter 475: Opening the Celestial Eye in the Immortal World! Fifth Zhuge (Part 2)

Unfortunately, without the strength of the Immortal Hall, we'd have to find another way.

"Knowing the problem, we should find a solution."

On their way back, Lin Fan slowed down and started thinking of a strategy, "First, we need to separate the satellite, or rather, Baba Tower's entire system, as an independent entity."

"And it should exist as a neutral force, not making enemies. That way, others won't mess with it arbitrarily."

"Secondly, it's best if the products of this force are convenient for the majority of people. Without it, everyone will be inconvenienced."

"In that case..."

"People will naturally protect the satellite and related equipment."

"After all, if it doesn't concern them, they'll stay out of it. But if it's related to everyone's interests, they won't dare to mess with it."

"But how can we make the satellite relevant to everyone's interests, or in other words, convenient for all?"

"..."

"Right, there's another problem."

"A neutral force also needs sufficient strength; otherwise, someone might come and take over the next day."

Damn! The more he thought about it, the more troublesome it became.

Lin Fan felt his head throbbing.

But in the end, it was all about strength.

"If we don't take a break, there's only one way."

"Find a trustworthy force to collaborate with."

"But..."

"Who should I look for?"

"Who can be trusted?"

"..."

Farewell, Baba Tower.

"The Sect Master is amazing! The satellite has been successfully launched, the signal is connected, and it has officially started operating. All data is perfect, and all functions are normal..."

Baba Tower chattered on and on.

But Lin Fan couldn't bring himself to be happy. He was considering the possibility of collaboration...

Who would be a suitable partner? He didn't have any 'friends' in the Immortal World.

He had plenty of enemies, though!

For example, the forces backing the Seven Immortals in the lower realm, and even the Immortal Hall, were potential enemies.

Should he let Baba Tower find a partner?

That would be even more absurd!

It would be a miracle if they weren't mistaken for a member of the Mechanical Race and killed.

Among his limited 'connections'...

"Brother Gatling is one, but he ascended not long before me. Although he has strong talents and is also a traverser, a show-off, even if he could break through to the True Transcendent or even the Golden Immortal, that would already be his limit, right?"

"It won't work."

"The Buddha Sect behind him..."

"I don't trust them much."

"The Ten Thousand Flower Sacred Ground?"

"You're joking, right? They can barely take care of themselves, and I'm not familiar with the Ten Thousand Flower Sacred Ground in the upper realm."

"The Dragon Clan?"

Lin Fan pondered for a moment.

If Ao Bing returned to the Dragon Clan and acknowledged his ancestry, and they took the opportunity to build a good relationship...

Would that work?

Baba Tower chattered on, but Lin Fan showed no reaction, causing Baba Tower to turn and look at him, "What are you thinking about? Isn't this something to be happy about?"

"You should understand the benefits of the full map vision, right?"

"Although we've only taken the first step, it's a great one!"

"You're thinking too simply," Lin Fan shook his head and then shared his concerns and the potential problems they might encounter during the process.

"So, now..."

"Can you use your immense computing power to calculate how these problems should be solved?"

"This..."

Baba Tower paused for a moment.

Then, hesitantly, he said, "Your idea is correct; there are indeed many problems."

"Collaboration is also a good approach. A joint venture, where they provide the funding and take responsibility for protection, while we handle the technology and operations, of course, on the basis that they don't interfere with our operations..."

"But I can't provide an answer regarding the collaboration partner."

"I know too little about the Immortal World, and I'm almost completely unaware of your connections."

"If I insist on calculating, I can only come up with a messy result."

"As for your idea of making it relevant to everyone's interests, I think a 'mobile phone', or 'Immortal Device', is a good choice."

"Oh?"

Lin Fan pondered, "You mean..."

"In the initial stage, we don't need to open up too many messy functions." Baba Tower explained, "Just the most basic communication functions will do, like voice and video calls."

"We might also add a group chat function."

"Group chat can facilitate internal communication within a certain force or organization."

"The advantage of the Immortal Device itself is its convenience and portability. Compared to the Sound Transmission Talismans used by cultivators, the Immortal Device is far more convenient."

"That's true," Lin Fan nodded.

Baba Tower's idea was good.

Although Sound Transmission Talismans could transmit sound over long distances, the Immortal World was vast! A Sound Transmission Talisman that could connect across a continent was already considered high-quality. To connect across continents or even throughout the entire Immortal World? That would require a huge Sound Transmission Talisman!

It would have to be specially 'massive' with hundreds and thousands of layers of array formations meticulously arranged on it.

The price was also extremely high! And it could only be used one-on-one!

Sound Transmission Talismans came in pairs, and each pair could only connect two people. To connect with more people, additional pairs would be needed. In other words, cultivators would need as many pairs of Sound Transmission Talismans as they had friends they wanted to keep in touch with.

In the Immortal Device, as long as the satellite is in place and there's a signal, a single device can connect the entire Immortal World!

Indeed, this is in the interests of everyone.

If the Immortal Device is effective, who would still use the traditional Sound Transmission Talismans?

So, Baba Tower's idea is sound.

But the process...

Lin Fan stroked his chin, "With your technology, do you still need to use satellites?"

"It shouldn't be necessary, right? After all, it's universal technology..."

"Why not develop some more advanced signal transmitters?"

"Sure."

Baba Tower spread his hands, "But the cost-effectiveness is not ideal, especially in the current early stages of development in both our worlds, that thing is even more expensive."

"Ridiculously expensive!"

"Satellites are the most cost-effective, simplest, and easiest choice, without a doubt."

Lin Fan asked, "Then can't we first create a 'pilot' project?"

"These cultivators are all old-fashioned, they don't know what's advanced and what's outdated. Let's set up a high-end signal transmitter and get the Immortal Device running within a certain range."

"Let the people in that range experience its benefits, and naturally, others will want it too. When they want it, we'll say it's 'difficult', that satellites are hard to build, and there are those who cause destruction..."

"So, progress is slow~"

Baba Tower was surprised, "It seems like it might actually work, exploiting the dark side of human nature... Hmm, I have to say, you humans are indeed the dirtiest."

Lin Fan: "..."

"Nonsense! Watch out, or I'll sue you for slander!"

"But, from what you're saying, can it be done?"

"..."

"Can it be done?"

Baba Tower made an initial estimate, "With the legacy left by my old master, I can buy a slightly better signal transmitter, which should cover about half of West Bull Prosper."

"But it's just a transmitter and receiver."

"At most, it can have a radar effect, but opening the 'Heavenly Eye' is still impossible."

Speaking of which, it's just a signal transmitter.

But in reality, it also needs to handle receiving and even interactive functions, and with such a large range, it's not cheap!

That's a product of advanced civilization.

"There's another issue, although my old master left a legacy, I'm not authorized to use it. I need Luo Feng's approval."

"Also, to what extent do you plan to develop the Immortal Device?"

"We need to prepare the goods in advance."

Although it requires Luo Feng's approval, based on Baba Tower's understanding of Luo Feng, the possibility of rejection is almost zero.

"The prestige should be slightly higher."

Lin Fan pondered, "I think a regular touchscreen won't do. Let's go all out and directly create a controllable virtual projection."

"Technically, there shouldn't be any difficulties for you, right?"

"Of course not."

"But what about charging?"

Baba Tower added, "Use micro nuclear batteries? That's possible, but it will increase costs, and the industrial foundation here is too weak, requiring some time."

"No, no, no, what I mean is..."

"Cultivation with technology, limitless power."

Lin Fan shook his head and smiled, "I have an idea. For example, what if we combine technology and cultivation, creating an entirely new 'cell phone' and name it the Immortal Device?"

"For instance, its carrier could be a spirit stone."

"Using the spiritual energy within the spirit stone as energy, we can even set up a small spirit gathering array to continuously 'replenish energy'."

"Then, combining chips and formation arrays to create a 'controllable virtual projection'..."

"This way, the Immortal Device is essentially a spirit stone."

"When in use, with a thought, the projection appears, and it can be operated by both hands and divine perception."

"That way, it's so cool!"

"It's perfect!"

Lin Fan, not being from the 'Future World', could only imagine future technology through films or novels.

But...

He vividly remembered the controllable projection technology from Iron Man.

It felt so cool and practical! If taken a step further, not only could it be controlled by hands, but also by divine perception, it would be even more awesome and satisfying!

"That's right."

Baba Tower explained, "From a technological perspective, achieving these functions is feasible. I just need some time, after all, the industrial foundation here is weak. Even if I bring some resources from Earth, I'll need time to upgrade."

"If cultivation and technology were combined..."

"Currently, I can't give a definite answer."

"It depends on my analysis, understanding, and progress in formation arrays."

"That's easy!"

"No need to rush."

Lin Fan smiled, "Regarding formation arrays, I'll leave a clone to assist you."

"..., for Luo Feng's side, tell him that if he needs anything, he can find Tian Xiaoxiao."

"And you?"

"Me? Of course, I'll find a way to establish a collaboration."

Lin Fan spread his hands.

Although...

In reality, after chatting with Baba Tower, many things were discussed, but a collaboration partner is still not in place.

Need to think more.

Mainly...

Need to find a trustworthy and powerful force!

The word 'trustworthy' carries significant weight.

...

Among the Ten Thousand Continents, Wan Dao Continent is one of the top-ranked continents in terms of Immortal count, overall strength, and economic development.

If West Bull Prosper is considered a remote land, Wan Dao Continent is like an imperial capital.

In one corner of Wan Dao Continent, there stands a Celestial Pavilion.

This pavilion is the headquarters of the Celestial Pavilion in the Immortal World.

The pavilion has nine floors, each floor towering at a height of a thousand zhang. Standing on the ninth floor, one feels as if they could pluck stars from the sky and challenge the heavens.

In the deepest part of the ninth layer, a Daoist in green robes was deducing the future.

His eyes were tightly shut, and his entire body trembled.

Suddenly, he abruptly opened his eyes. "Pfft!"

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his aura instantly weakened, almost to the point of disappearing.

"Master!"

A young disciple, standing by his side, was shocked and immediately stepped forward to assist.

"Don't come closer!"

The Daoist in green robes spoke with difficulty, "Heavenly Retribution. At this moment, I'm entangled by cause and effect. If you touch me, you'll be implicated..."

"But Master, you..."

The young disciple was extremely worried.

The Daoist in green robes managed a smile, "It's fine."

"I won't die."

"The situation in the Immortal World is becoming increasingly complex. Our Celestial Pavilion is in a precarious state, though not on the brink of collapse, there are still many crises. This time, I've risked my life to deduce the future and have finally glimpsed a glimmer of heavenly secrets!"

"Even if I die, it will be worth it."

"Moreover, I'm still alive, aren't I?"

A golden era!

The Immortal World is in chaos, and the heavenly secrets are not revealed.

Even someone as powerful as him finds it incredibly difficult to fathom the heavenly secrets nowadays."

This time, it was a matter of life and death, coupled with good luck, that he managed to glimpse a glimmer of heavenly secrets, and naturally, he was delighted.

"You, go to West Bull Continent now."

"West Bull Continent?"

The young disciple was taken aback, "What's there?"

"To seek an opportunity for our Celestial Pavilion."

"If we can seize this opportunity..."

"Even if our Celestial Pavilion doesn't have the same status as in the Immortal Martial Continent, we can still become a top-tier, even surpassing the best, in the Immortal World!"

"This is an opportunity I've almost risked my life for."

"We mustn't let it slip away!"

"This matter..."

"I entrust it to you."

"Wu Zhe, are you up for it?"

The young disciple trembled, "Disciple... will do my best!"

The young disciple's name was Wu Zhe.

His father's surname was Wu, and his mother's surname was Zhe.

When his parents fell in love, they decided to combine their surnames, hence the name Wu Zhe.

And he perfectly inherited the bloodlines of both his parents.

Not only was he incredibly smart, but he could also deduce the future to a certain extent.

Later, he was valued by the Celestial Pavilion and became the personal disciple of the Grand Master!

But...

Lin Fan's previous guess about the Celestial Pavilion was not wrong.

The Immortal World is vast and diverse.

Strong cultivators are as numerous as clouds, and there are many competitors.

While the Celestial Pavilion is powerful in the lower realms, even sacred lands give them some face, but in the upper realms, they've barely managed to maintain a mediocre position.

Even their headquarters in the Ten Thousand Dao Continent is on the verge of being lost.

Strength is secondary.

The main issue is...

The land they're on is rented.

The landlord wants to raise the rent, cough cough...

Fortunately, the Celestial Pavilion still has some income, and over the years, they've also provided many with fortune-telling services and sold intelligence."

Some people have benefited from their services.

So, they can still maintain stability for now, but who knows how long that will last," he sighed.

That's why the Grand Master risked his life to deduce the future this time.

Fortunately...

He saw hope.

Even though it was just a glimmer of heavenly secrets, and even though it was vague, at least there was a direction.

...

Wu Zhe set off that night.

After paying a high price and using the super teleportation array multiple times, he arrived in West Bull Continent on the third day.

"..."

"Master only said that the Celestial Pavilion's opportunity lies in West Bull Continent, but how vast is this continent? It won't be easy to find it."

"This opportunity is related to fate."

"Fate is the manifestation of destiny."

"If there's no fate, searching the entire West Bull Continent might still result in a missed opportunity."

"But if there's fate..."

Wu Zhe hesitated briefly and then smiled.

Immediately, he took off one of his shoes, closed his eyes, and threw it into the sky.

Thud!

The shoe fell, landing right on top of his head.

He didn't get angry, but reached up and felt the shoe, noticing that the toe pointed to the left front. He laughed, took off the shoe, and put it on.

Divination by shoe-throwing~

High-level 'charlatans' often only need the most straightforward divination methods...

...

Wu Zhe continued on his journey.

When he encountered mountains, he climbed, and when he encountered water, he waded through. Whenever he reached a crossroads, he threw his shoe again to ask for directions.

Wu Zhe traveled in a manner completely unlike a 'Divine Calculator', and he didn't even seem like a cultivator.

After an unknown number of shoe-throwing divinations, he stopped at the foot of a series of mountains.

"A formation?"

"Is there a sect here?"

He looked into the distance.

He noticed that on the highest mountain, near the peak, there was a palace built into the mountain, with three bright openings.

It resembled a slightly crooked 'heart'.

"..."

It was as if fortune had smiled upon him.

Wu Zhe instantly confirmed that this...

...was the place where the opportunity awaited.

He scanned the area with his divine sense.

He discovered a stone tablet at the entrance.

"Moon Embrace Sect?"

He was taken aback.

Then, his pupils suddenly constricted.

"It's actually..."

"Moon Embrace Sect?"

He was born in the Immortal World, and while he didn't know much about the lower realm's Moon Embrace Sect, he was aware that recently, the Moon Embrace Sect had caused quite a stir, but in the end, an ancient Venerable, who everyone thought had long passed away, had suppressed them...

And it was all because of the lower realm's Moon Embrace Sect! He never expected that a branch would appear here as well.

"The people below..."

"Have they ascended?"

"It's not surprising."

He suppressed the shock in his heart, straightened his clothes, and then cupped his hands, speaking loudly towards the entrance, "Wu Zhe of the Celestial Pavilion has come to pay respects. I hope a senior will meet me."

...

After a moment, two women with similar appearances, about eighty percent alike, arrived on clouds.

"Someone from the Celestial Pavilion?"

"Follow us, our master is waiting for you."

"..."
