This is the strategic value of Gongshu Ling, even among Legendary Heroes, she stands at the pinnacle, clearly surpassing the previous Gongsun Yang.
But what Xu Yang valued most was not these.
It was...
Xu Yang bent down, looking at Gongshu Ling who was shorter than his waist, and asked with a light chuckle, "Can I take a look?"
"Take a look?"
"Look at what!"
Gongshu Ling, who had just received a Spirit Stone and was smiling broadly, beca instantly alert upon hearing this and imdiately guarded her chanical arm, as she realized Xu Yang's gaze was fixated on it.
Xu Yang didn't mind, and said with a light laugh, "I just want to take a look. I have so understanding of chanical Techniques and would like to discuss them with you."
Hearing this, Gongshu Ling was also a bit surprised: "You understand chanical Techniques?"
Xu Yang smiled: "A little bit, just a little bit!"
Of course, this was an understatent; his understanding was far from "a little."
Devoted to deducing the Heavenly chanics thods, he had diligently studied various laws and arts, not only delving into the four main streams of Pills, Talismans, Tools, Formations, but also Puppet chanisms, reaching the realm of peak transcendence. If not for the world's laws prohibiting it, he could have changed his profession to chanical Master or Puppet Master in a minute.
Hearing him say this, Gongshu Ling let down her guard and reluctantly handed over the gigantic chanical arm: "Just a look, be careful, don't break it!"
After saying this, she finally pulled her small hand out of the chanical arm.
Xu Yang took the arm and saw its attribute information.

Equipnt Introduction: Overbearing chanism Hand, the emblem of the Gongshu Family Master (Exclusive equipnt for Gongshu Ling; other users will have attribute bonuses halved and the effects of Overbearing chanism and Gongshu's Dragon will be lost and unusable.)
...
Admiring the attributes and actual construction of the Overbearing chanism Hand, even Xu Yang couldn't help but praise, "Indeed ingenious!"
"Of course!"
Upon hearing this, Gongshu Ling quickly snatched back the chanism hand, and with an air of pride, she said, "This is our Gongshu Family's creation, second only to chanical City, the emblem of the Family Master, the crystal of our heart's blood. How could it not be ingenious, how could it not be extraordinary."
"Ha!"
Xu Yang laughed and, without agreeing or disagreeing, changed the subject: "How did you co to be at the Sky-reaching Tower?"
"It's all because of that tyrant!"
Upon hearing this, a fierce look appeared on Gongshu Ling's face, and the Overbearing chanism Hand creaked ominously: "That tyrant was treacherous and untrustworthy. My Gongshu Family built a tomb for him, but he sought to silence us by killing, sending many Qi Refiners and armies to attack our Gongshu chanism City. This forced the Family Master to take drastic asures, leaving only a few of us brothers and sisters to escape. Still, we were hunted by those Qi Refiners, and when our lives were hanging by a thread, we were guided to the Sky-reaching Tower..."
"Qi Refiners?"
Xu Yang muttered thoughtfully.
Judging by Gongshu Ling's performance and the introduction of Gongshu chanism City, their strength was no weaker than his now.
And yet they were still defeated by the Qin Army, indicating that "Qi Refiners" were no ordinary foes, perhaps involving high-level cultivators.
This also indirectly showed sothing: although the defenses built by Gongshu chanism Skill were formidable, they were not invincible. As long as one's strength was sufficient, even a chanical City could be forcefully breached.
Therefore, while strengthening the city's defenses is necessary, the enhancent of strength must not be neglected.
Xu Yang had reached a point where he could no longer progress; to advance further, he either had to seek a Breakthrough thod, or obtain the rewards for the Newcor King and the Dual Crown King, and then complete the tasks required to ascend to a Second Rank Lord.
The forr was a matter of chance, not worth contemplating at the mont.
As for the latter…
Xu Yang glanced at the Newcor List and the Reputation List, finding that his ranking had jumped to the top of the Newcor List and one hundredth on the Reputation List.
The first was completely understandable; in this battle, he had defeated the enemy forces, slain the legendary fierce general Gongsun Yang along with nurous Epic Heroes, and, with the subsequent spoils of war, acquired two Second-Order Divine Artifacts and the arrival of the legendary hero Gongshu Ling. It was only natural for him to top the Newcor List.
The Reputation List was a similar case. Although there were a hundred people ahead, they only temporarily led due to their years of accumulation and potential. With his capabilities, surpassing them would be effortless, and if nothing unexpected occurred, the rewards for the Dual Crown King would be securely his.
Hence, planning for advancent was the next step.
Despite the constant warfare of recent tis, it was child's play in the grand sche of things, barely worthy of notice. Even those of the Eighth or Ninth Order would find it difficult to determine the direction of this world.
At a minimum, becoming a Lord of the "Earth Immortal" at the Tenth Order, or reaching the Eleventh Order of Heavenly Immortal, could possibly unveil the truth behind the Sky-reaching Tower and the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss.
Xu Yang had reached the limits of his progress. Once he received the Dual Crown King reward, he must imdiately advance.
In fact, he could already undertake the advancent task.
Because advancent in this world differed from the norm, where once you broke through, it was a personal matter. Here, a Lord's advancent was a joint breakthrough with his territory, unrelated to the Foundation Establishnt Golden Pill or the like. Completing the task was all that was needed to advance.
After constructing the Taiping Temple, Xu Yang had received his advancent task.
However, this advancent task…

Task Introduction: Bid the Great Han Farewell!
...
Beauty has layers, and society has its strata, making differences in all things inevitable.
This advancent task was no different, with varying levels of difficulty. The tougher the challenge, the greater the reward, shaping a Lord's growth and future.
Why, after defeating so many opponents and acquiring so many Special Troops and Epic Legendary Heroes, was Xu Yang still ranked just at a hundred on the Reputation List? Could there truly be so many geniuses in the world to rival this 'cheat-mode player'?
Of course not; it was just that these people had intentionally chosen 'level suppression,' purposely avoiding advancent to strengthen their foundation and aim to complete the highest difficulty and most rewarding advancent task. This included the direct descendants of major forces.
Thus, they could temporarily surpass Xu Yang.
But it was only temporary. Xu Yang, too, aid for a perfect advancent, yet had no intention of wasting ti suppressing his level.
What to do?
Quite simple, fight!
Warfare, slaughtering, plundering—these were the quickest paths of developnt in this world.
So...
