Wang Jixuan took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
In the Cultivation World, it’s a rule that those who witness share in the bounty.
A trace of white mana transford into Spiritual Energy;
Gao Huating, curled up asleep on the sofa, and Zheng Shiduo, dozing by the window, were both nourished by this Qi, gaining subtle benefits in their dreams.
When Wang Jixuan cultivated arduously in the mountains, every ti he made a breakthrough, there would always be disciples from various peaks coming to congratulate him. Performing such acts beca second nature to him.
Mu Dan sniffed and asked, "Sir, why do you have a strange fragrance on you?"
"Really?"
Wang Jixuan raised an eyebrow with a light smile.
Don’t you understand the phenonon of the initial completion of Foundation Establishnt and the ergence of the Tao Foundation?
To be completely immaculate, untouched by dust, with a strong Primordial Soul, and organs like jade, these are the roots for achieving the Tao.
With the completion of Foundation Establishnt, one can cease eating grains and live solely by nurturing Spiritual Energy.
Wang Jixuan stretched lazily, the various phenona around him slowly faded and his appearance returned to normal, showing a hint of contentnt on his face.
He glanced at the sleeping Gao Huating and whispered, "Let’s go to the Command Center on the third floor."
"I put earplugs in for them, Sir, so you can tell anything directly."
"Tell you what?" The Daoist was slightly puzzled.
"It seems like you have a lot you want to share, Sir."
"How could it be," Wang Jixuan assud the posture of a seasoned elder, "It’s just a small achievent in the first stage of cultivation, not worth ntioning."
Except, the smile at the corner of his mouth was sowhat uncontrollable.
When he reached the Command Center on the third floor, and t with Dongfang Zhenghong and Zhou Zhengde, the smile on his face finally subsided.
Dongfang Zhenghong raised his hand in a military salute, and Wang Jixuan returned the gesture with a cupped hand salute.
Zhou Zhengde chuckled and said, "Why are we all being so formal?"
"It’s just necessary etiquette," Dongfang Zhenghong cleared his throat and said imdiately:
"The signals of the high-level Spiritual Ability Users who escaped were lost. They have gone underground, and we’ve deployed nurous drones to search below ground.
"Who knows if they’re brain-damaged, not even understanding our basic setup and protection level, they tried a sneak attack. Their transport aircraft were locked on before they had landed.
"Very outdated holographic stealth technology."
Wang Jixuan laughed and said, "That’s good. Let them be lost then. Escaping with an S-rank is terrifying."
"Take a seat and let’s talk," Zhou Zhengde waved his hand. Several female communication soldiers brought in chairs, and the three sat down in front of the large screen.
Wang Jixuan asked, "How’s D3 going?"
"The initiative remains with us; the situation is basically under control."
Dongfang Zhenghong sighed:
"This is a delayed counterattack by decades.
"The mont the war broke out, various combined combat zones started to pay close attention.
"After achieving so results, every combined combat zone began to further account for Spiritual Ability Users, using the excuse of discovering Brain-eating Worms; in so places, they directly resorted to assassination.
"A major offensive situation against the Spiritual Ability City has begun to form!"
Zhou Zhengde clicked his tongue and said, "It’s said that high-level chanical bodies loaded with Seven Star Sword Formation modules, wielding large Spiritual Energy swords, have made an appearance, posing a direct threat to high-level Spiritual Ability Users."
Wang Jixuan nodded and said solemnly, "The Spiritual Ability Users who attempted to ambush us actually have so skill. Is there a chance they’ll go to support D3 after taking a hit on this side?"
Zhou Zhengde explained, "No need to worry, we’ve prepared sufficient reserve forces over there, with four combined combat zones acting simultaneously."
Dongfang Zhenghong added, "We’ve received intelligence that the Destruction Team, Judgent Team, and Investigation Team, along with the combative forces of the Spirit Managent Committee, have deployed a large number of elite troops. Their target should be here and shouldn’t change as per logic."
"They want to establish a battlefield here since we opened one at D3."
Zhou Zhengde said:
"A highly skilled strategy."
"Well..."
Wang Jixuan couldn’t help but laugh:
"Is it possible that they’re actually here to kill ? Not considering strategic aspects at all?"
He lightly drew his right hand’s sword finger, and a Soul Capturing Charm unfolded, a virtual image of a strong man appeared on it.
Wang Jixuan only displayed it briefly and crushed the strong man’s Residual Soul with ease, igniting the Soul Capturing Charm with a bit of True Fire.
The surrounding communication soldiers watched curiously, not daring to make a sound.
Daoist Wang explained:
"They deployed nine squads, plus over ten S-class Spiritual Ability Users, with three mbers from the fifteen-mber eting of the Spirit Managent Committee overseeing, and the deputy head of the Destruction Team, Angel, an Awakening S-class leading, at least three other Awakening S-class besides him, on par with Huo Rong.
"This truly is the elite of the Spirit Managent Committee.
"Today’s batch of Spiritual Ability Users I encountered were just their advance force, mainly probing us."
Dongfang Zhenghong quickly took note of this information: "I’ll have them send in higher-end combat forces imdiately! Do you want to hide sowhere else?"
"No need to hide," Wang Jixuan said, "Their target is , and this place is D5. They are in the dark while we are in the open, which puts us on the back foot everywhere. My idea is to arrange a duel."
"A duel?" Dongfang Zhenghong was sowhat puzzled.
Those Spiritual Ability Users, no matter how low their intelligence, wouldn’t naively step out to face their bombardnt openly, would they?
Zhou Zhengde suddenly said, "I have an idea, not sure if it’s feasible."
"Just say it, Mr. Zhou."
"Mr. Zhou? Where did all these strange titles co from?"
Zhou Zhengde gestured at the map a few tis:
"We can openly have you move, and see if we can lure them out!
"Also, that Puppet Xing Dian you captured... I heard Captain Zheng say you can control Xing Dian’s body, whereas the intelligence states that they want to eliminate the traitor Xing Dian.
"The traitor Xing Dian! What a great opportunity!
"Why don’t we have Xing Dian publicly appear, defect to our side, and admit to the cris of Spiritual Ability City? Xing Dian, a disciple of the Six Elders, was the controller of the D2 Combined Combat Zone for so ti and has significant influence over D2!"
Wang Jixuan leaned back in his chair.
Goodness, Xiao Zhou has made quite a bit of progress recently.
This line of thinking is pretty good.
"Mu Dan, don’t arrange the plastic surgery for my War Puppet yet!"
Mu Dan quickly responded, "Understood, Sir. We were just beginning to design the surgical plan."
Dongfang Zhenghong looked comforted as he gazed at Zhou Zhengde, and said earnestly: "This matter can be pushed forward quickly, and simultaneously, our defenses at Fortress 76 shouldn’t be lax, the strategic position here is very important."
Wang Jixuan laughed and said: "Looks like I will have to leave Spirit Cultivator No.5 alone for a few more days."
He thought of the Mountain Protection Array he was fond of and saw that Wu Man had almost completed the Array Base.
This lad, he truly works when given the task.
Then go ahead and set up the Mountain Protection Array and teach Wu Man how to control the array.
Thus, Fortress 76 would indeed beco his future ’Mountain Gate,’ greatly enhancing its safety.
"Let’s act in three hours. For the public appearance, arrange sothing special for ."
Wang Jixuan transmitted his special arrangent, to which Dongfang Zhenghong showed a cryptic smile.
Zhou Zhengde sighed emotionally: "Alas, the feeling between you and Lingtong Major is getting deeper. I don’t et my girlfriend even once in half a year. Should I start dating too?"
"Has Dr. Wei Na got a new romance?"
"Well, I didn’t ask."
Wang Jixuan blinked, "I have a friend nad Mai Xiaoi, currently losing weight, about two years older than you, roughly your age, and hasn’t had a relationship... How about giving her so life lessons?"
Zhou Zhengde: ...
"I’m very faithful in relationships!"
"Her figure should be pretty good after she loses weight; she even bears so resemblance to Dr. Wei Na by about thirty percent in looks."
"Alright, since you recomnded, I’ll consider approaching her."
Wang Jixuan snapped his fingers and started running, reminding as he left.
"Mu Dan, rember to leave Mai Xiaoi’s contact information for Brother Zhou!"
Mu Dan, being a chanical Body, easily controlled his emotions, nodding calmly at this mont.
"Understood, Sir."
Zhou Zhengde rubbed the tip of his nose, feeling there was sothing fishy here.
Three hours later.
From the second to the thirteenth layers of Fortress 76, a thin light mbrane covered the area.
Wu Man and Zheng Shiduo stood in front of a huge Stele, sweating profusely as they chewed on the hundreds of words of mantra Wang Jixuan left behind.
This was just the basic defensive array.
Soon, Wang Jixuan would add Killing Arrays and Trapped Arrays for repelling the invaders.
Bringing his War Puppet with him, Wang Jixuan flew in a stealth transport aircraft to a military fortress on the border of the D5 Combined Combat Zone.
In his seat, he opened a small screen, watching the slim figure standing on the lecture stage in the screen.
The image flowed, the fra of the projection screen quietly disappeared, and that figure morphed from detailed pixels into a tangible entity, standing gracefully and charmingly.
