Chapter 64: Chapter 62 Divine Machine [Myriad Phenomena]

The exploration continues.

The group moved at intervals, staying inside the Divine Strategy Tower for more than two days as Lin Qianxuan advanced the plot.

During those two days, they had already reached the seventy-third floor of the Divine Strategy Tower. Gongsun Yue’s injuries had also partially healed, and Gongsun Ying’s Divine Strategy Limbs were repaired.

Here, Gongsun Yu finally found traces left by his teacher.

[Gongsun Yue (holding a calculation paper, appearing pleasantly surprised): It’s the teacher’s handwriting!]

On the seventy-third floor, there were calculation papers everywhere, alongside various tools scattered all around.

They seemed to have been searched through.

Lin Qianxuan pushed the plot forward.

[Gongsun Yue discovered traces of her teacher’s research everywhere here. Relying on her knowledge of Wang Zhi, she found a hidden compartment where he had stored six Memory Balls, each with a number and date. They seemed to record the progress of experiments.]

The six Memory Balls were numbered from one to six.

Gongsun Yue held the first Memory Ball in her hand, pondering.

Gongsun Ying and the others also approached.

[Gongsun Yue (pondering): It seems like the teacher deliberately left this behind, but the Memory Balls are encrypted. The teacher used the Celestial Star Encryption Technique, which has 95,383,526 encryption types. How do I decipher it… wait, I know, this will work, the teacher intentionally left it for me…..]

Gongsun Yue’s eyes changed as she quickly calculated the key for the Memory Ball and decrypted it.

Soon, an elegant middle-aged man wearing glasses appeared in the Memory Ball.

[They said that turbid qi research is too dangerous, and they wouldn’t allow me to continue. Of course, I didn’t comply, so they didn’t allow me to continue using the previous lab and directly sent me to the Divine Strategy Tower to maintain the Divine Machines here. I think the environment here is quite suitable for researching turbid qi.]

This man was evidently Wang Zhi, and then came the scenes of his lab.

That was before it got searched. Behind him, there were dozens of jars containing dark gray gas, which was clearly the turbid qi.

The scene ended there.

“Experiment log? Gao Ming’s habit of writing diaries with Memory Balls wouldn’t have come from learning from you, would it?”

Seeing this familiar scene, Lin Qianxuan couldn’t help but make a quip.

Then, Gongsun Yue activated the second Memory Ball according to its number.

[The Turbid Catastrophe is becoming more severe, but the monarch remains as stubborn as ever, seemingly having his wits clouded by the turbid qi… I’ve discovered that a significant portion of the turbid qi’s composition is actually the same as that of the world’s pure qi. This discovery shocked me… Indeed, before the dawn of time, the world was all murky; turbid qi is the root of everything, and pure qi was merely separated from it, or rather, pure qi is merely orderly turbid qi. If the turbid qi becomes orderly, it can transform into pure qi material… This is incredible. I plan to construct a Divine Machine capable of inverting the turbid qi entering the human body, turning it orderly and converting it into pure qi. Creating this Divine Machine would solve the Turbid Catastrophe effortlessly.]

“Was he planning to create this Divine Machine from this point?”

Lin Qianxuan mused.

The second Memory Ball ended, and Gongsun Yue activated the third one.

[The 3,753rd experiment also failed; the contaminating power of turbid qi is too strong, and no material can withstand it, not even divine material nurtured by Divine Energy. However, I won’t give up; the Divine Martial Emperor seemed to have once delved into turbid qi without harm to himself. I have a bold idea…]

“No way? Is he really that imaginative?”

Lin Qianxuan’s eyes widened slightly.

This Professor Wang Zhi won’t be trying to make this Divine Machine using the Divine Martial Emperor’s corpse, right?

Apparently, Lin Qianxuan wasn’t the only one with the same suspicion.

[Gongsun Ying (shocked): Professor Wang intends to…]

[Gongsun Yue (also a bit surprised): Our teacher’s past research was indeed unconventional, but he shouldn’t go that far…]

Grave robbing, making Divine Machines using others’ corpses.

Such actions are taboo among taboos in this world.

Being found will directly lead to execution.

After all, no martial artist would wish to be exhumed and used after death.

With hesitation, Gongsun Yue opened the fourth Memory Ball.

[Weak turbid qi has also appeared near the Celestial Craft Institute, sigh… I secretly ventured to the Imperial Mausoleum using the Concealing Breath Pearl. At first, I intended to use the Divine Martial Emperor’s bones to craft this Divine Machine, but to my surprise, I couldn’t find the Emperor’s remains. It’s highly possible that he’s not dead. So where did he go? However, I discovered something else inside the coffin: the Emperor’s Armor of the Divine Martial Emperor was placed there. This armor had been nurtured by him for over two thousand years, making it a Divine Machine. If I use it to craft that Divine Machine…]

“He really intended to forge a Divine Machine from a corpse! No, wait, the key point is that the Divine Martial Emperor isn’t dead?”

Lin Qianxuan blinked.

The Divine Martial Emperor still isn’t dead?

Then where did he go?

A monstrously powerful being who lived for over two thousand years, unfathomable in might.

And he still isn’t dead.

[Gongsun Ying (astonished): The Divine Martial Emperor is actually alive!!]

[Gongsun Yue (frowning): The teacher truly…]

The focus of Gongsun Ying and Gongsun Yue was evidently different.

[Lou Zheng (skeptical): The Emperor is actually still around; why would he allow the current monarch to act so recklessly? Just watching as the Great Qian Country he established becomes what it is today?]

One of the squad commanders, Lou Zheng, found it even harder to accept that the Divine Martial Emperor abandoned the Great Qian Country.

The rest shared a similar sentiment, their expressions uniformly disheartened.

Lin Qianxuan felt he could somewhat understand Emperor Shenwu.

He was obviously tired of being Emperor.

A supreme and invincible existence, he sat on the throne for over two thousand years, safeguarding the stable development of this country.

He was weary of this game.

This wasn’t being Emperor; it was being a nanny!

If Lin Qianxuan had a vast country full of mortals to rule, he probably couldn’t last decades.

At first, it might be somewhat fresh, but gradually it would become increasingly tedious.

The mere thought of all the troubles was likely painful.

With such talent, Emperor Shenwu clearly disliked being bound by mortals.

Nevertheless, he maintained it for over two thousand years before leaving.

Who knew his descendants would be so disappointing, squandering the legacy in just two hundred years?

In their varying moods, Gongsun Yue opened the fifth Memory Ball.

In the scene, Wang Zhi held an object the size of an adult’s head, resembling a brown pinecone, with joy on his face.

[I succeeded, I made it, it’s simply a miracle, no, it is a miracle. I haven’t fully understood it; many parts of the blueprint are still theoretical, and the function to reverse turbidity is incomplete. Currently, it can at most convert turbidity into the most basic pure Spiritual Energy. I could say the success is entirely due to the Emperor’s Armor nurtured by Great Emperor Shenwu back then, allowing it to be easily restructured according to my wishes. But precisely because of this, it requires a tremendous amount of Divine Energy to activate and start, far beyond imagination. Besides Emperor Shenwu of the past, I can’t imagine anyone possessing so much Divine Energy…. hmm, perhaps Yue’s sister could…..]

“Really succeeded? Where’s the thing?”

Aside from Lin Qianxuan, everyone else was also very curious.

Immediately, Gongsun Ying had Gongsun Yue open the last Memory Ball.

In the image, Wang Zhi appeared exhausted.

[The Celestial Craft Institute also has people tainted by turbidity, but the dean colludes with the Turbid Intent cultists, forbidding information from being released and even preventing students from escaping. I told him my results on turbidity research, and he informed the Divine Martial Guard to capture me, intending to seize the Divine Strategy. Hehehe… I’m afraid I’ll die soon. The Divine Strategy is hidden at the sun core beneath the Divine Strategy Tower, the most secretive location. Gao, when you come, just go and retrieve it. The key is your birth date.]

[Gongsun Yue (sorrowful): Mentor…..]

[Gongsun Ying (stern): Professor Wang is upright and unswerving, worthy of the fame of a Grand Scholar.]

Upon knowing the location of the Divine Strategy, the Rebel Army immediately split into two paths. Shen Hongshan led those knowledgeable in the Divine Machine Art and a group of warriors to continue exploring upward for usable Divine Strategies.

Meanwhile, the game characters and the Gongsun sisters headed directly to the underground of the Divine Strategy Tower to find the Divine Strategy capable of reversing turbidity.

As the scene changed, everyone arrived at the bottom of the Divine Strategy Tower.

Here, only a massive indigo sun core wrapped in transparent material was present, its diameter seemingly around ten meters.

The indigo light illuminated the surroundings, brightening the entire space.

Such a massive sun core, its energy supply was unknown.

[Gongsun Yue (searching intently): This is the Divine Strategy Tower’s energy chamber. Typically, no one would come here unless there was a malfunction with the sun core. If I were Mentor, where would I hide it…..]

In the picture, Gongsun Yue and everyone else were searching, but the space was vast, finding nothing.

Suddenly, Gongsun Yue stopped.

She stared intently at the sun core before her.

[Gongsun Yue guessed the location of the Divine Strategy’s storage.]

[Gongsun Yue (excited): That’s it! The Divine Strategy is constructed by Emperor’s Armor, not easily damaged; even though the temperature inside the sun core is extremely high, it wouldn’t melt. Hidden here, no one would think of it.]

[Gongsun Ying (astonished): The Divine Strategy is placed inside the sun core?]

[Gongsun Yue (nodding): I believe so, but we need to calculate the exact position, otherwise, it’s hard to retrieve…. hmm, it should be this position, seven and a half segments forward…..]

After calculating, Gongsun Ying immediately manifested her Primordial Spirit and reached out to the indigo sun core.

Her Primordial Spirit began to burn near the sun core. However, Gongsun Ying’s movements were swift, and in an instant, she retrieved an item from within.

It was the brown pinecone.

Despite the prolonged exposure to the sun core’s high temperatures, it showed no change.

[Gongsun Yue (worried, looking at Gongsun Ying): Sister, are you okay?]

[Gongsun Ying (regulating her Primordial Spirit): I’m fine, but this sun core’s temperature is truly terrifying. Even a slight touch made my Primordial Spirit feel burned. It’s said that Emperor Shenwu could fully immerse his Primordial Spirit in the sun core back then, using its high temperature to refine his Primordial Spirit; I wonder how he managed it.]

After the conversation, everyone’s gaze turned to the pinecone.

[Gongsun Ying (handing it to Gongsun Yue): Yue’Er, open it up.]

[Gongsun Yue (nodding): Okay.]

Gongsun Yue fiddled with it, inputting Gao’s birth date. Then the pinecone flashed with light, unfurling layers of leaves, transforming from a pinecone into a brown lotus with dense ancient patterns like veins on the leaves, or perhaps not. At the center of the lotus were the words [Universal Phenomenon].

[Gongsun Ying (examining): Is this Divine Strategy called Universal Phenomenon? How do we use it? Let me try infusing it with Divine Energy!]

Gongsun Ying took the Universal Phenomenon from Gongsun Yue and infused it with Divine Energy. After infusing Divine Energy, the bottom of the lotus began to emit a faint cyan glow, but that was all.

After a while, Gongsun Ying stopped.

[Gongsun Ying (frowning): I’ve infused eighty percent of my Divine Energy into it, yet it still hasn’t changed. More Divine Energy feels like it’s disappearing into the sea, utterly ineffective.]

[Gongsun Yue (astonished): Sister, even you can’t do it?]

[Gongsun Ying (shaking her head): Forget it, we’ll try again later. Even without this Divine Strategy, I believe we can still end the turbid calamity.]
