"Do we have any news about those Dark Sect members?"
"Commander, we haven't detected their energy fluctuations yet."
"How's the defense setup?"
"It's initially complete, and the planetary defense system has been activated. Although the Alliance is willing to cooperate with our military actions, the enemy this time isn't Blade Beasts, hence General Ling Tong has not approved the Alliance to join the battle. We are deploying the Mechanical Army to the fullest extent possible."
Mu Dan paused in his report and continued:
"Commander, are we not relocating this time?"
"Of course we will relocate, but only after ambushing them once."
Wang Jixuan's main body looked up, temporarily putting down the engraving knife and array base materials.
He gazed out the porthole.
A faint golden halo was starting to appear behind the gigantic lobster.
The Blade Beast Group under this Pillar Blade Beast was imitating accordingly.
The scene was indescribably strange.
Master Wang shook his head to revitalize himself and looked at Mu Dan, who had changed back into a maid outfit.
Wang Jixuan explained: "If I can avoid fighting, I would, but now we must show the Dark Sect some strength so that they know that loose immortals and Dark Sect members from the mortal world pose no threat to me. If they are coming, send the experts from the Immortal Realm."
"Uh, if experts from the Immortal Realm come, won't we be doomed?"
"That would depend on the contest between the Heavenly Daos of both sides."
Wang Jixuan squinted slightly:
"From the moment the Dark Sect Heavenly Dao issued a Death Order on me, I've been seeking ways to extricate myself from this chaotic situation.
"I considered the Stone of the Past and, in desperation, consulted Senior Bai Gu.
"This did give me a path — develop forces and strike into the Immortal Realm.
"But right now, we must resolve the most fatal issue, that is, anyone can come and have a go at me."
Mu Dan looked enlightened: "I roughly understand, in the Immortal Realm, Tianluo and the Dark Sect are evenly matched, both sides can restrain each other's experts. Elder Shao has mentioned many times, so we just need to intimidate the Dark Sect's loose immortals in the mortal world and other assorted experts, and that will put a damper on the fervent Dark Sect members."
"That's about right."
Wang Jixuan snapped his fingers:
"Continue with the deployment, try your best to stay away from this planet, and make sure people aren't affected."
Mu Dan replied: "I can only say I'll try."
Wang Jixuan asked: "Aren't they only sending a few dozen people? Can they still reach this planet?"
"Elder Shao also mentioned that seemingly, someone from the Immortal Realm is coming, though it's uncertain if they're a Heavenly Immortal. If they're below a Heavenly Immortal, Elder Shao's avatar can handle it."
Mu Dan worriedly said:
"For existences above Immortals, I still have no clear combat data.
"The transition from mortal to Immortal is a metamorphosis, energy levels may enhance a hundredfold, which could cause severe geological disasters on a habitable planet.
"Earth once suffered a decades-long climate disaster when it was hit by a small asteroid 'Gentle' released by Hei Yao; later we developed a planetary climate control system, spending twenty years to barely restore the climate.
"The energy expended during this time is immeasurable.
"If an Immortal's strike has the power equivalent to that small asteroid, we can't control the scope of battlefield repercussions."
Wang Jixuan was silent for a few seconds.
He said: "Then research another plan, see if we can select a more remote battleground."
"Okay."
Mu Dan agreed, closed her eyes, and started calculating.
Wang Jixuan looked out the porthole, his main body continued engrossed in arranging the Prohibition, with most of his mind focused on the Alien Soul.
Gather the Spiritual Energy of the world, amass the Wish Power of living beings.
All beings are equal, everything can become Buddha.
'So, what's the benefit of dancing with shackles? Is it Daoist peace at heart? Or those trivial titles that aren't important?'
Wang Jixuan quietly contemplated this issue.
He actually has the answer.
It's for the pursuit of Dao in his heart, for he was once also a weak creature.
...
Time passed second by second.
The refining progress of Wang Jixuan's Third Puppet became faster and faster.
The colossal body of the Pillar Blade Beast started shrinking circle by circle, while its internal Spiritual Power enhanced bit by bit.
During this process, some incredible phenomena occurred.
The Third Puppet's group of affiliated minions, while imitating the Pillar Blade Beast in meditation and learning Buddhism, a small batch of core High-level Blade Beast Group started to mutate.
They manifested some light golden patterns on their bodies;
their Crystal Cores were wrapped in layers of Buddha Light;
even, they could respond to the Pillar Blade Beast mutually, as if becoming its believers, followers, providing it with faith power.
Wang Jixuan was indeed a bit surprised when he realized this situation.
The adaptability of Blade Beasts is incredibly high.
Gradually, Wang Jixuan also sensed a somewhat urgent atmosphere.
Human fleets were designing ambush circles;
several Pillar Blade Beast Groups, already controlled by Wang Jixuan, were pushing 'corpses' of Pillar Blade Beasts, heading towards wider starlit skies, gradually distancing from this yellowish planet.
Elder Shao continuously switched back and forth between closing eyes to scout for news and opening eyes to relay situations.
The fighting in the Immortal Realm was intensifying, but everything was under the control of both parties' Heavenly Dao, and for now, no experts 'leaked' to the main battlegrounds of the Lower Realm.
In the You Bao Realm, the situation was nearing its concluding phase.
Yin Lin Hall Master was leading a group of experts, pursuing those Dark Sect members heading towards this realm, which is one reason Wang Jixuan couldn't shift positions directly at the moment.
