In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone

#310 - Gazer

The Daoist Priest hadn't anticipated that the after-effects of sending the heroic spirits away would be so profound.

He originally just wanted to rest for half a day to clear his mind, without even meditating or cultivating, to digest this wave of sentimental emotions.

Unexpectedly;

Four or five days passed without him recovering!

It was only when Zhou Zhengde noticed Wang Jixuan's listlessness and hurriedly submitted a report to request Ling Tong's transfer back from the border defense that Daoist Wang gradually broke free from these emotions.

He hadn't experienced this in his previous life;

Wang Jixuan originally felt that all he lacked was worldly experience, and his sweet cohabitation with Ling Tong had already made up for this point;

But now he suddenly realized;

There is no limit to the insights of the Dao heart.

Experiencing what he hasn't experienced, and trying what he hasn't tried, can all generate different insights, thereby allowing him to better understand the essence of the Dao.

This time, the insight was that life is as fragile as it is resilient.

However, he really should cheer up.

Taking advantage of this hard-earned period of stability, he should seize the time to improve his cultivation and break through from the Core Formation Realm into the Golden Core Realm!

There was something Wang Jixuan had been keeping to himself.

His original plan for 'breaking the precept' was supposed to be after reaching the Golden Core Realm, when his primordial yang would be completely useless;

But…

Due to a confluence of circumstances and a surge of emotions, he didn't suppress his desires and broke the precept ahead of time in the Core Formation Realm.

The impact would not be too significant;

Entering a dual cultivation life ahead of schedule would, in the long run, be beneficial to his own cultivation.

The morning sun shone through the curtains onto the single bed in the dormitory.

The Daoist Priest, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, opened his eyes, and the alloy door cooperatively made a clicking sound as a tall woman wrapped in a gray trench coat turned and entered.

Ling Tong brought breakfast from the cafeteria.

She placed the lunch box on a nearby cabinet, gently took off her trench coat, untied her ponytail, and revealed a pure black silk nightgown that was both form-fitting and elegant. The simulated coating of her mechanical arm also had a subtle color difference from her fair skin.

Wang Jixuan wondered if it was his imagination, but he felt that his girlfriend had become increasingly charming lately.

In every aspect.

"Are you going out today? Mr. Storm,"

Ling Tong skillfully began to arrange the breakfast, gently reminding him:

"They are all a little worried about your condition. Perhaps visiting the studio would better stabilize morale… Ah…"

Before she could finish speaking, Wang Jixuan had already hugged her slender waist from behind, quietly feeling her body temperature.

The Daoist Priest asked, "I can actually abstain from grains now, there's no need to specially prepare breakfast for me."

"I always have to do something for you, we are lovers,"

Ling Tong said softly, her right hand covering the back of Wang Jixuan's hand, her left hand stroking his cheek.

"I feel like you're always giving to me unilaterally;

"My current physical indicators have already exceeded those of a third-generation machine. They say I'm like a body-enhancing type of esper.

"And I haven't given anything, not even any decent training."

Wang Jixuan said with a smile, "No, no, you've given a lot. Last night I almost couldn't handle it, wow!"

The Daoist Priest covered his ribs and staggered back a few steps.

"That's domestic violence!"

"Hmph," Ling Tong glanced aside, "You can't say things like that randomly unless it's in a specific environment and atmosphere."

Daoist Wang immediately looked aggrieved.

Ling Tong brought the breakfast over, took the initiative to kiss Wang Jixuan's forehead, and said softly:

"Let's talk about serious matters. Those espers have all been sent over, and the chip replacement surgery has been done. They are now under the command of the war zone. Do you want to show your face and give them a speech?"

"A speech?"

Wang Jixuan sat at the table, pondering slightly:

"No, I'll keep my distance from them. There must be spies among the people they sent over.

"I can't possibly do a memory search on two thousand people one by one.

"Ah, leave those S-rank and A-rank ones here, I'll check their memories when I have time. As for the others, let Lao Fu freely allocate them after Five modifies their psionic imprints."

Ling Tong quickly made a record.

She asked again, "We had previously started promoting Buddhist scriptures among the espers on the front lines. Should we stop that now?"

"There's no need to stop that. Buddhist scriptures are different from cultivation methods."

Wang Jixuan smiled and said:

"When I taught these to the espers on the front lines, I already assumed that this stuff would spread to Esper City.

"If they chant Buddhist scriptures in Esper City every day, maybe it can change their state of mind.

"I didn't pass on the Buddhist scriptures that can effectively restrain demonic energy."

Ling Tong carefully recorded everything. She pondered slightly and decided to give the commander in front of her a brief report.

During the few days of Wang Jixuan's depression, the situation outside had been constantly fluctuating.

Overall, it was beneficial to the D5 Combined War Zone.

In the battle of the Sixth Pillar's awakening, the Blade Beasts suffered heavy losses, and Esper City suffered heavy losses. The combined war zones that were originally wavering between D5 and Esper City all drew a line between themselves and Esper City.

This was considered a rare major victory.

Moreover, the appearance of the Four Spiritual Cultivators and the negotiations on the aerospace carrier allowed all forces to recognize the essence of the spiritual cultivators, dispelling that sense of deification.

This was an unexpected gain beyond the major victory.

A new term was circulating among the high-level officials of all forces.

[Black Storm Legion].

The director of that live broadcast at the time used a whimsical description to accurately describe Wang Jixuan's current status.

Ling Tong sat sideways at the table, every frown, every smile, every move was so lovely in the eyes of the Daoist Priest. She continued to report to Wang Jixuan:

"The turmoil in Esper City is relatively frequent.

"The Esper Management Committee has changed its name to the Resource Management Committee, absorbing the Naturalists and creating a parliament-like system. They have already held their first meeting.

"They will next select thousands of C-rank and hundreds of B-rank espers to advance their esper ranks."

Wang Jixuan asked, "Didn't they say before that only A-ranks could advance?"

Ling Tong shrugged, "According to our analysis, it should be that spiritual cultivator named Wanda, the white-haired old man in ancient robes, who will use blessings to enhance these espers, promoting the power and omnipotence of spiritual cultivators."

"Won't this Wanda suffer losses in strength as a result?"

"There should be some special psionic circuits? We're not too sure. Intelligence from the Naturalist faction has been completely cut off."

The Daoist Priest pondered for a few seconds, "Then I'll ask Aunt Qingting later."

"Aunt Qingting seems to be on the promotion list as well," Ling Tong said, "They want to create a new batch of A-ranks and S-ranks in batches. According to the news they actively released, a large number of awakened espers will also be born."

Wang Jixuan: …

Look, these spiritual cultivators are getting anxious and starting to strengthen their psionic slaves on a large scale.

This behavior is either to consolidate their own rule or to prepare for an active offensive next.

The Lightwing Council has already reached certain agreements with the Blade Beasts;

It's hard to say, but the Lightwing Council and the Blade Beasts might collude one day…

"They can promote theirs, we can promote ours," Wang Jixuan turned to ask, "How are the reactions in the major war zones?"

"They're all good. The War Alliance reconstruction work is progressing rapidly."

Ling Tong hesitated slightly:

"There's some news you might not like.

"There are some aristocratic families in every war zone. This is unavoidable. The situation in D5 is relatively idealized and rare.

"The higher-ups of the D2 Combined War Zone intend to facilitate a political marriage between Xiang Tiantian and Zhou Zhengde.

"Zhou Zhengde originally had a political marriage arranged and was engaged, but now the engagement has been canceled. The reason is that the woman's side regretted it, which will not affect Zhou Zhengde's reputation, and everyone is waiting for Zhou Zhengde's reply."

Wang Jixuan blinked, "Aren't he and Xiang Tiantian in the middle of an ambiguous relationship?"

"They are being ambiguous, but Zhou Zhengde doesn't seem to want free love to be mixed with political factors."

Ling Tong also somewhat agreed with this:

"Captain Zhou is an idealist, we've known that for a long time.

"But he will most likely succumb in the end."

The Daoist Priest chuckled, "Let's not interfere in this kind of thing and let him choose for himself. He's a middle-aged man, he has his own ability to judge."

"Alright," Ling Tong praised softly, "The super-large terrifying mecha piloted by the Commander-in-Chief will hold an exhibition recently, and I want to go see it a bit."

"I'll accompany you," Wang Jixuan suddenly said affectionately, grabbing her soft hand, bringing it to his mouth and nibbling on it, "I might not have much time to accompany you later, I'll spend more time with you during this time to create some memories… By the way, do you want to pilot this kind of mecha?"

Ling Tong's eyes instantly became incomparably bright: "Can I do it?"

"Of course you can, as long as we cultivate diligently."

"Cultivate?"

"It's like this," Wang Jixuan suddenly used force, Ling Tong was caught off guard and fell into his arms. Before she could struggle, she had already fallen into the deep affection trap of a certain Core Formation cultivator.

The curtains in the room were quickly drawn by spiritual sense.

It was another day of intensified dual cultivation.

…

At noon, the Daoist Priest went out of the residential building, shuffling in slippers.

He was full of energy and refreshed.

He couldn't understand why those married men had to be labeled as pushovers;

Was there any difference between his current life and being married?

Spiritual sense spread out, Wang Jixuan gently raised his eyebrows.

Inside the third-floor research institute, Shen Qionglin, who had returned from studying at the Pillar Blade Beast's location, was engrossed in modifying a new batch of psionic mecha.

In the seventh-floor school, Wu Man was leading dozens of new students, learning the 'top secret' scriptures.

In the adjacent studio, the Treant Beta was playing video games with Wan Xiaoqi. Medicinal herbs grew from his head from time to time, and Sister Wan and Uncle Tai next to him helped Beta trim the branches.

Slab storage area number five was completely empty. Number Five was currently still at the Pillar Blade Beast's location, guarding it. She would inevitably return here later, as there were still over two thousand spirit slaves awaiting her inspection.

Zhou Zhengde was strolling with Xiang Tiantian, and they were chatting animatedly, with a sparkle in Xiang Tiantian's eyes.

Very good;

It seems everyone has a bright future.

Wang Jixuan thought for a moment and went to Shen Qionglin's location first.

In the recent battle, Wang Jixuan not only saw the super-large mecha representing pure mechanical civilization but also the potential contained within the Pillar Blade Beast.

Isn't the Pillar Blade Beast just a large mechanical body powered by spiritual energy?

Rounding it off, isn't that Shen Qionglin's spiritual energy mecha project?

Wang Jixuan had someone drag Shen Qionglin over at the time, and now, it seems Shen Qionglin has also opened a door to a new world, with a grand plan in mind.

Previously, Shen Qionglin didn't really think much of the spiritual energy mecha project.

In her project team, this project was mostly used to produce some results and continuously obtain resources.

Wang Jixuan waited for a while, and Shen Qionglin finally sensed Wang Jixuan's presence. She let the discussion group continue their discussion and sneaked out of the research institute.

"Oh?"

Shen Qionglin sized up Wang Jixuan.

Daoist Wang was currently wearing casual clothes, with large shorts paired with a pair of flip-flops, giving off a mysterious handsomeness of a young landlord.

"You're willing to come out of your comfort zone?"

Shen Qionglin's expression carried a hint of disdain:

"I couldn't find you before when I was looking for you. I wanted to do more research at the Pillar Blade Beast's location, but I was driven back by the military!

"Hmph, they scanned it with a bunch of equipment and didn't even share the data with me!"

The Daoist snapped his fingers, and Peony, who was rushing over from a distance, immediately started jogging forward.

Peony couldn't help but complain as she approached: "Commander, you didn't even call me when you came out. Director Lingtong brought us most of the news!"

"I was in seclusion to restore my state of mind."

Wang Jixuan said with a smile:

"Write down Professor Shen's requests and issue an application in my name.

"This is our side's top genius in Blade Beast research, how could she be driven back?"

Shen Qionglin smiled with satisfaction.

Peony blinked and, after sending a message to the general headquarters, whispered: "Isn't it because Professor Shen insisted on using a large laser cutting machine to dissect the Pillar Blade Beast that she was driven back?"

Wang Jixuan glared at Shen Qionglin.

Shen Qionglin calmly looked at the sky, her hands in her pockets, as if nothing had happened.

Wang Jixuan frowned and said: "The Pillar Blade Beast is only unconscious, not dead. Besides, we might still be able to use it next time if we have to fight."

Shen Qionglin said somewhat helplessly: "I was just making a proposal at the time."

"Yes, yes," Peony said with a smile, "It's just that her eyes were glowing green when she made the proposal, it was especially scary. Several of the old professors at the meeting almost had heart attacks."

"Anyway, I'm not wrong."

"Alright, alright," Wang Jixuan said, also feeling a little helpless.

Are talented scientists all so difficult to coax?

"Do you have any new design ideas here? Did the Pillar Blade Beast give you any inspiration?"

"Ah, there are many," Shen Qionglin said quickly, "I can quickly come up with an improved version of the spiritual energy armor, the full-coverage armor type. Guess what I found at the Blade Beast's place! Polycrystalline core spiritual energy co-frequency harmonization technology! I can now use the spiritual energy of several crystal cores at the same frequency. Three sub-king level crystal cores can have the spiritual energy output efficiency of one king-level crystal core!"

She spoke animatedly, and because her speech was too fast, Wang Jixuan was a little confused.

Roughly speaking, it was very fruitful.

But this doesn't seem to have any direct relationship with him, a Core Formation cultivator.

Shen Qionglin took out a tablet, motioned for Wang Jixuan to sit down next to her, and began to constantly introduce the technical ideas she had just obtained.

From near and far, many figures actively ran over.

The increasingly stable humanoid Red Serpent, Deep Sea with dark circles under his eyes, the triumphant Black Shell, Dongfang Zhenghong carrying several paper folders…

Just the batch of spiritual energy users who came to Lingneng Capital for compensation had too many things waiting for Wang Jixuan to decide.

…

D2 Comprehensive War Zone, the Pillar Blade Beast's unconscious no-man's land.

The massive Blade Beast was embedded in the earth, and a layer of light gray halo floated directly above it, which was the projection of the hibernation circuit.

Number Five was temporarily staying here, considered a guard, waiting for humans to build a defense line.

Brilliant lights could be seen in all directions around the Pillar Blade Beast, and a large number of military camps and firepower traps were under construction.

This scene was reflected in a pair of deep eyes. The owner of the eyes pondered constantly, slightly lowered his hat, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Are you underestimating us too much, cultivators."
