Wang Jixuan dismissed the idea of providing support.

He needed to take some rest;

he couldn't handle all the enemies alone, or he would exhaust himself to death.

The last bad news, in his view, was actually good news.

Because Meng Jin was seriously injured, the Spirit Management Committee's Court suffered heavy casualties among its core elite, the Six Elders were furious and jointly announced a [psionic crusade] against the D5 Combined Combat Zone.

This so-called psionic crusade was not a formal declaration of war. Instead, it called on all Spiritual Ability Users to resist the D5 Combined Combat Zone. The Spiritual Ability Users in D5 were to unite and revolt, and so on.

For this level of threat, D5 did not give any response.

Fu Jian was eager for the low-level Spiritual Ability Users to cause trouble, so as long as any Spiritual Ability House caused trouble, Fu Jian could create a pure, non-psionic Combined Combat Zone within a few hours.

Wang Jixuan smirked.

After returning, continue to reinforce the Mountain Protection Array, with Killing Arrays and trapped arrays all planned.

Those two pieces of good news put Wang Jixuan in a much better mood.

One piece of good news was that because the area where the Fake Interstellar Gate exploded this time was underground in human territory (unlike last time in the Blade Beast territory), the drones sent out had retrieved a large batch of materials.

About 35% of the gate was snatched back from the Blade Beasts.

These materials had already been sent back to their Fortress No. 76.

Wonderful.

The harvest this time was indeed enormous!

The last piece of good news...

"An SS-rank member of the Nature Faction wants to meet me?"

Master Wang instinctively became somewhat cautious.

Mu Dan said, "It's Ma's teacher. The information also came from Ma, saying that they want to meet with the commander secretly to start comprehensive cooperation."

"I naturally trust Ma; our bond has been one of life and death."

Wang Jixuan crossed his arms in deep thought, glancing at his War Puppet.

The War Puppet needed some time to re-cultivate the Alien Soul to be fully operational;

he couldn't possibly confront an SS-rank Spiritual Ability User with his main body at close range. If the other party set a trap for him, there would be no place to cry.

"Reply to Ma, telling her I'm seriously injured here and can't meet for now. It will take about seven or eight days to recover."

"Understood, commander."

Master Wang stretched out lazily and urged, "Have them return when there is no mission. We should go home immediately if there's no battle task; it's too dangerous outside."

"Eh... The team wants to go to the frontline to provide support. Should I file an application for them?"

"Let them go, but tell them to be careful. And, make sure to protect my girlfriend."

"Understood."

Wang Jixuan's gaze shifted to the dark red flame circling around his arm.

Now, it's time to tinker with you.

...

The Buddhist Temple Team quickly headed to the battlefield of the Super King-level Blade Beast;

The fighter jet squad escorting Wang Jixuan back to Fortress No. 76 was impressive, with no disturbances along the way.

It was just that when Wang Jixuan was studying the flame, he accidentally activated something, causing a massive fire ring to suddenly expand at ten thousand meters high, scaring the crew members nearly to the point of ejecting from the jets.

Before the transport plane landed, Wang Jixuan had already made some progress.

The flame continuously changed its shape in his palm, sometimes transforming into a 'matchstick man' sitting cross-legged, sometimes forming a honeycomb pattern displaying hundreds of spiritual energy circuits, and sometimes becoming a solidified flame sculpture exuding a complex, mysterious, and obscure Daoist charm.

'This core circuit is interesting.'

Master Wang closed his palm, making the core circuit disappear, and then it emerged again on the back of his hand.

He already roughly understood how to make this thing 'recognize its master through blood';

But Wang Jixuan also realized;

If he were to use this core circuit, he could transform into a new Spirit Cultivator, but it wouldn't grant him the power of a peak Spirit Cultivator instantly.

A new Spirit Cultivator needs time to grow and requires continuous fusion with the core circuit.

Moreover, there is a high probability that it will affect his cultivation path.

The limit for a Spirit Cultivator is set;

But for a Cultivator in the Immortal path, the limit is to Ascend to Immortality!

How to handle this thing?

Wang Jixuan scratched his head, pondering while waiting for Mu Dan and the Mechanical Maids to return to the workshop, unable to make up his mind.

He was inclined to use this thing to cultivate a powerful fighter for himself.

Wu Man, Lao Zheng, even Zheng De, Wei Na, Commander Dongfang, any of them would do, as they were trustworthy and leaned towards human interests.

But he had to solve two problems first;

First, how to make this thing stop clinging to him;

Second, how to ensure it acknowledges a master according to his wishes.

These could only be resolved once No.5 woke up, and negotiate with No.5 about it; No.5 surely wanted this core circuit as well, but Master Wang did not intend to give it away.

He had no time to waste and restoring the War Puppet's combat power was of utmost importance.

Wang Jixuan instructed Mu Dan to bring a pile of Crystal Cores, setting up the Spirit Gathering Array, releasing the Dragon Python Alien Soul from the War Puppet's body, and then breaking the Crystal Cores one by one.

The main body absorbed the spiritual energy;

The Alien Soul hunted the Blade Beast Residual Souls;

Gradually, the Dragon Python Alien Soul grew from a 'little earthworm' to a 'big worm', its Jiao Long's head looking fiercer, with its scales even more distinct, and a faint golden light flowing under the gray scales.

This Alien Soul had now been imbued with a touch of Buddhism.

Master Wang was uncertain whether this was good or bad.

He had heard of people cultivating both Buddhism and Taoist practices, and even about the coexistence of Daoist and Demon practices, but not about the coexistence of Buddhism and Demonic practices, as Buddha Light and Demonic Qi nullified each other, just like '1' and '-1', adding up to zero.

In his very active mind, Wang Jixuan thought about reversing the Dragon Python Swallowing Sky Technique, transforming it from Devil Skill to Buddhist Law.

But this was a massive undertaking that required secluded, long-term comprehension, not just renaming the "Swallowing Sky Technique" to "Heavenly Healing Technique".

He could only explore as he went along.

Thus, after Mu Dan shattered hundreds of Crystal Cores, the Dragon Python Alien Soul had reverted to its original size, with about a tenth of its strength restored.

The flesh wings under the Jiao Long's ribs had slightly receded, and its dragon head had gained a bit more majesty.

Wang Jixuan controlled the Alien Soul to burrow back into the War Puppet's body for rest.

The intense fatigue had already faded;

The War Puppet's combat power had also been restored by about twenty percent.

At the very least, it could move without obstruction.

Wang Jixuan glanced at the dark red flame on his wrist and didn't dare delay any longer, instructing Mu Dan to invite 'Tree-man Ancestor' Beta, to grafting Spirit Grass, plucking hair, and start refining Dan Pills.

This Dan refining session resulted in a minor chamber explosion.

He managed to refine over sixty Soul Nourishing Pills and twenty Solid Foundation Pills, placing them on a tray in front of No.5's stone plate.

A certain yellow-haired loli rushed out, attracted by the scent, eyes gleaming, devouring the pills and visibly enhancing her Qi.

In a daze, Wang Jixuan once again saw that tall, long-haired version of No.5, with that cold and proud aura, which did resemble the 'True Fairy' titled goddess in the female cultivator beauty rankings of the Cultivation World.

Master Wang had only seen that beautiful female cultivator a few times before he became a Sect Elder during a certain sect duel, back when they were opponents...

Yes, the True Fairy was beautiful, but she wasn't a good fighter, crying after just a few moves.

Back to business, back to business.

"Are you feeling better?" Wang Jixuan lifted his hand slightly. "Handle this thing."

No.5's eyes darted. "How do you want to handle it?"

"I want to cultivate a new Spirit Cultivator I can trust," Wang Jixuan explained simply. "You should give up on the idea of a dual core, it would waste resources."

No.5 snorted, "You obtained this, so logically it should be yours. I won't break the rules."

"That's good."

"But it's already recognized you," No.5 shrugged, "Unless you die, it won't choose another human to host."

Master Wang: ...

"No other way?"

"None. We don't have experience in this regard," No.5 answered plainly, "Each person who gets a core circuit integrates with it eagerly."

Wang Jixuan asked, "So how do you integrate with this thing?"

"Just swallow it."

"Swallow?" Wang Jixuan looked at the flame with a frown.

"What are you hesitating about... Oh, I can hardly resist snatching it from you, let me help!"

No.5 suddenly acted without warning, leaving only a flash of residual image as she slapped Wang Jixuan's arm, making him bring the flame to his mouth!

Master Wang glared and dodged, twisting his head forcefully as the flame grazed past his ear and flew backward.
