Inside the Divine Palace, there was no luxurious setting as Wang Linchi had imagined to match mbers of the Nine Extres Sect. Instead, it was quite unassuming, just an ordinary village.
However, the way Wang Linchi saw it wasn't so simple. The overall layout was as he had imagined—a large maintenance base for the Transford Humans.
Here, Wang Linchi also t two other Transford Humans with codenas prefixed with 'B' and 'C'.
'B' type was for production and manufacturing, while 'C' type was for repair and maintenance.
Together with 'A' type, the command-execution type, they ford a strong triangle. With one doing fieldwork and two doing logistics, the Nine Extres Divine Palace had beco a covertly powerful force.
Wang Linchi also discovered that the Transford Humans of the Nine Extres Sect were not unique. If one were to die, they could manufacture a corresponding Transford Human as a replacent. However, it wouldn't be entirely new but of the sa model type, carrying the mories and personality of the preceding Transford Human.
In the eyes of mbers of the Nine Extres Sect, this was resurrection, but in reality, it was simply switching to another person.
All of this had Wang Linchi thinking, This is a kind of unique player in its own right.
If one didn't realize the truth of their own death and instead saw a re-erging mber of the Nine Extres Sect, they would only believe they had co back to life and thus, they would fear nothing.
The one who created the Nine Extres Divine Palace, the Nine Extres, was truly not an ordinary person.
After infiltrating the Nine Extres Divine Palace, Wang Linchi quickly beca a peripheral figure. This was mostly because all the 'A' type Transford Humans were busy with repairs and maintenance, and Wang Linchi had nothing to do. After the first day of examination, he was let go.
From this perspective, it seed that mbers of the Nine Extres Sect didn't think there was anything wrong with themselves, nor did they consider it illogical for a normal person to undergo these completely abnormal examinations.
Found it... Wang Linchi quickly found what he wanted on the bookshelf.
He was searching for who this generation's Nine Extres was.
Emperor Xuwen, Li Wen'an...
Wang Linchi was genuinely surprised when he saw this na.
That's because this person was the prematurely deceased forr emperor who had promoted Wang Linchi. Even on his deathbed, he bestowed upon Wang Linchi an advanced usurping power package. Li Wen'an could be credited for Wang Linchi's current achievents.
But he never would have thought that the man was the Nine Extres.
Moving further, he quickly saw the Holy Monk of Pure Land, Shenxiu; the Evil Cutting Ghost Blade, Willow Buqi; and a series of other nas. Wang Linchi counted them up; including Li Wen'an, there were seven identities in total, spanning from the End of the Dharma Era to the Ancient Era.
So, this Nine Extres Divine Palace is from an ancient lineage, Wang Linchi couldn't help but remark. I'm just a little confused—what's the connection between all these people?
How were the Nine Extres selected, and did they know that they were the Nine Extres?
By rights, these people should all be prodigious talents. Even Li Wen'an, whose abilities I found puzzling, gained his distinction due to his willingness to delegate authority, a trait revealing his extraordinary character. I admit that I myself couldn't match that.
Was that the strange feeling I had back then? Wang Linchi soon recalled the strange feeling he had when he first t Li Wen'an. Now that I think about it, it was probably due to the issue with the Nine Extres.
In every dynasty, there's only one Nine Extres, and most of them appeared at the end of the era. What's the reason for this? Wang Linchi quickly finished reading the records of these seven people.
The records left in the Nine Extres Divine Palace were more like biographies, mostly depicting their positive images.
After a detailed analysis, the overall content was about them turning the tide against overwhelming odds. To put it colloquially, their stories were classic tales of flaunting power and then proving everyone wrong.
Only Li Wen'an, having encountered Wang Linchi who was power-leveled by the system, seed sowhat ordinary compared to the previous six.
It seems like there's not much use after reading all this, Wang Linchi was a bit confused.
As for gleaning sothing from these accounts, that would be rather absurd.
All these records were beautified. Minor problems were glossed over, and major issues were written about with carefully chosen words, leaving only an image of them as paragons of virtue and glory.
I don't know about the others, but I certainly know Emperor Xuwen's situation, don't I? Many of those deeds were mine, yet the Nine Extres Divine Palace attributed them to Emperor Xuwen. Once this dynasty ends, these records will beco official history.
Is Nine Extres so concerned with history because it involves fundantal power? Wang Linchi couldn't help but consider this.
From altering history to having a Nine Extres in every dynasty, if Wang Linchi couldn't derive clues from these events, then his brain was pointless... Well, alright, I don't actually have that organ anymore; it turned to stone long ago.
As for the ga character, though it had a brain, the problem was that it wasn't his.
A ga character is just an outfit; the mind of the outfit belongs to the outfit and not to the actual 'person' beneath it.
After putting back the biography, Wang Linchi began to further investigate the village, which was actually a large base for Transford Humans called the Nine Extres Divine Palace.
Now it could be confird that the fall of the dynasty was indeed linked to the Nine Extres Divine Palace.
At least, that's how it appeared in Wang Linchi's eyes.
So, he needed to find sothing that would allow civilization to fall apart without changing cognition; he was very interested in such things.
According to the mbers of the Nine Extres Sect, the whole process was a sacrifice.
Unfortunately, he didn't find any signs related to sacrifice, and he wouldn't dare ask any other mber of the Nine Extres Sect.
If he opened his mouth, he would risk exposure.
How could a mber of the Nine Extres Sect not know about this?
Therefore, the only thing he could do was to extract information from the mories of Armor Thirty-Three, which had been disassembled into many parts.
It didn't matter that he didn't possess the Soul Search skill. Wang Linchi had a substitute product now. He had packed it with quite a lot of stuff earlier, thinking about adding enough DLCs to the underworld. For example, the Six Paths of Reincarnation, used to supplent the Seventy-two Divisions. He simply erased the captured mories of Armor Thirty-Three.
What ca next was simple: just throw it into the newly constructed frawork of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, let the subject fall into an illusion, and start fantasizing anew.
When the ti ca, Wang Linchi could observe and understand what these concepts of "dynastic fall," "sacrifice," and the like truly ant.
If the technology were mature enough, Wang Linchi might be able to peek into mories from generations ago through the mory of Armor Thirty-Three.
This needed so adjustnts, which should take about ten minutes. However, viewing mories from Ancient Tis wasn't the priority. What was important was to first understand what this group of Nine Extres Sect mbers were up to, how they conducted the sacrifice, and so on. The past wasn't going anywhere, but the future was always changing, so it was essential to grasp enough information.
What Wang Linchi wanted to do was, naturally, to exploit this information gap.
「...」
"What do you think of Yuan Lin?" Zhang Cheng asked his sister Zhang Qing'er, pointing at Yuan Lin, who was buried in his work.
Zhang Qing'er glanced at Yuan Lin. He had a sturdy exterior. Though he was not handso, his deanor made him look quite charming.
"I'll leave it to Father and my brother to decide," Zhang Qing'er said, which implied that she had taken a liking to him.
Otherwise, she would have said that she wanted to serve her parents at ho for a few more years.
Having received his sister's reply, Zhang Cheng was delighted. Ever since Yuan Lin started working for them, the developnt of the Northern Jiang Army had visibly improved.
He and his father unanimously believed that Yuan Lin's abilities surpassed those of Wu Yong; this was nothing short of a godsend for them.
So they brought his sister over that very night, intending to let the two of them interact for a while.
Then, Zhang Xuan, as the elder, could absolutely decide on their marriage.
Although Zhang Qing'er wasn't stunningly beautiful, she was a delicate and lovely girl with a gentle and virtuous nature. Even though she ca from a farming family, after her father Zhang Xuan and brother Zhang Cheng started their uprising, she had lived a comfortable life, which had also allowed her looks to flourish. Therefore, they didn't worry that Yuan Lin wouldn't be interested in her.
"That's good to hear. You head back to the command tent first, and I'll go sound out Brother Yuan," Zhang Cheng said. He knew that for such matters, both parties had to agree.
If Yuan Lin was unwilling, they wouldn't force him, to avoid damaging their good relationship.
Yuan Lin was indeed one of their core subordinates, but even core subordinates needed to be continually won over. It wasn't that he could be neglected because he was already loyal; on the contrary, they needed to put in more effort.
Zhang Cheng handled this aspect very well. Otherwise, how could a re playboy have beco the Young Marshal of the Northern Jiang Army? He certainly possessed genuine capabilities.
He opened the tent, laughing heartily. "Brother Yuan, you've worked hard! Big Brother here brought you so bird's nest soup with trella. Take a break and drink the soup to refresh yourself. It's not too late to continue working after that."
Of course, he couldn't co empty-handed; he naturally brought sothing with him.
Every ti he ca to see Yuan Lin, he would bring sothing and show concern, using this as a way to win him over.
He understood the difference between material offerings and rely promising benefits.
