The Jie Sect was divided into inner and outer sects.
The inner sect consisted of the Grandmaster of Heaven's personal disciples, including the Daoist of Many Treasures, the Golden Spirit Saintess, the Incongruence Saintess, the Turtle Spirit Saintess, Zhao Gongming, and the Three Sky Goddesses.
There were also the Seven Immortals.
Aside from them, there were third-generation disciples such as Wen Zhong, Yu Yuan, and the Fire Spirit Saintess, as well as fourth-generation disciples such as Yu Hua and Hu Lei.
As for the outer disciples of the Jie Sect, there were countless of them.
The Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island, the Ten Heavenly Lords, the Stone Goddesses … the Grandmaster of Heaven's Jie Sect's doctrine was to seize a chance of survival for all living beings … he advocated education without discrimination, and had preached everywhere in the past few years, with any living being who listened to his preaching being considered his guru's disciples in name.
Jiang He followed the Daoist of Many Treasures to a cluster of buildings outside the Biyou Palace of the Jie Sect, which was where the outer disciples of the Jie Sect were stationed.
"Martial Uncle of Many Treasures!"
"Grand-master Jiang He!"
A Grand Luo greeted them when they arrived in front of a temple, introducing himself as Luo Xuan and the Fire Lord. Aside from being an outer disciple of the Jie Sect, he was also one of the Righteous Deities of the Celestial Court.
Jiang He gave Luo Xuan a few more glances.
The name Luo Xuan was unfamiliar to him, but he was very familiar with the Fire Lord. In the myths and legends of Earth, the Fire Lord was considered to have a minor role.
Luo Xuan led the way and said, "Those three Demi-Saints came last night, saying that they had slain a machine race's Demi-Saint and several Grand Luo, and are here to claim the bounty."
Soon, Jiang He met the three warriors.
All three of them were special beings of the universe.
One of them was a tall and voluptuous woman, and from her back, she was definitely a great beauty.
Even so, her face was green and her ears were pointy, making her look like a character from Avatar.
There was also a bumpkin.
His skin was yellowish-brown all over.
Jiang He had mistaken him for a Stoner, and only learned that he was an earthen spirit after some explanation.
The so-called earthen spirit was essentially similar to the Stoners.
The Rock Race beings were born in the "mountain rocks" of the Rock Race's domain, and were nurtured by the "mountain rocks". The "earth spirit" was born in a place rich in earth element and the grand dao of earth.
"Elemental Dao Spirit?"
Jiang He was surprised. There were indeed all sorts of wonders in the universe.
He knew that some places where the Great Dao of Elements was extremely rich could give birth to 'Elemental Spirits', but these creatures couldn't be considered living beings at all. They didn't have spiritual intelligence, so it was difficult for them to cultivate.
Not only did the young man before him possess sentience, he had even cultivated to Quasi-Saint realm and formed a physical body!
Jiang He's gaze then fell upon the third Demi-Saint.
This person was wearing a black robe and a black mask.
Noticing that Jiang He was looking at him suspiciously, he promptly took off his mask to reveal a face glinting in silver metallic luster.
"Mechanical race?"
Luo Xuan cried out involuntarily from the side.
Then, the flames on his body rose and his Daoist Rhymes bloomed. His magic treasure tore through the air as he glared at the Demi-Saint of the machine race and growled, "How dare you, a Demi-Saint of the machine race, come to my Jie School and behave atrociously. Do you really not know how to write the word death?"
Daoist Duobao's expression darkened.
On the other hand, Jiang He smiled faintly and waved Luo Xuan off, studying the machine Demi-Saint from head to toe and smiled. "You wouldn't be stupid enough to come here and throw your life away after cultivating to this level … what's your name?"
"My name is Nine-Five-Two-Seven."
"…"
Jiang He was speechless.
Are you messing with me?
What kind of name is that?
Seemingly noticing Jiang He's confusion, the Daoist Duobao communicated to him through acoustics, "The machines have always been like that. Everyone's surname is represented by numbers, and their patriarch's name is Zero."
Zero?
Many thoughts flashed through Jiang He's mind at once.
Did the machines all come from robots?
There was no way those robots would have appeared out of thin air. They must have been made by someone.
Other robots could be said to have been created by the Mech Race's Ancestor, but what about the Mech Race's Ancestor, Zero?
Nine-five-two-seven quickly began to talk about his "past".
"My father was just an ordinary miner …"
"Hold on!"
Jiang He cut him short and exclaimed in surprise, "Aren't you machines supposed to be lifeforms? Why do they have parents? And what the heck is a miner? "
"My lord … my father was a miner robot, and he created me, which is why I call him father."
"That's fine. Continue."
Nine-Five-Two-Seven's father was a miner robot, the lowest of robots that did not have self-awareness even among the machines.
Curiously, however, the miner robot developed self-awareness.
As his self-awareness gradually improved, he secretly learned how to make robots, and used the precious ores he had hidden to create Nine-Five-Two-Seven.
Soon, the cat was out of the bag.
The mining robot was captured, its consciousness was destroyed, and it was' executed '.
At that, a complicated emotion appeared over Nine-Five-Two-Seven's pure-silver face and he said hoarsely, "The ores my father used to create me were extremely precious, which gave me great combat ability when my consciousness was just born. I slaughtered a path of blood and escaped from that mine …"
"After I became powerful, I returned to the mine for revenge, only to find that an Eternal God was behind the mine …"
In the machine race, Eternal Gods were equivalent to Golden Immortals among humans.
"I destroyed that mine, causing me to be chased by that undying … until a few thousand years later, I finally had the strength to retaliate and kill that undying … however, at this time, I found out that behind him was a huge god country …"
"…"
This was a f * cking fantasy novel …
Jiang He was a little entranced by the story.
The protagonist had a deep grudge at the start, fighting monsters for revenge, and then being hunted down along the way …
"You are now a Demi-Saint, and according to what I know, there are not many Demi-Saints among the machine race. Any Demi-Saint would be favored by a Saint and become a frontier official, ruling over a constellation."
Nine-Five-Two-Seven gritted his teeth and said somberly, "That enemy of mine was Zero's grandson … I've already killed him, and there is no place for me among the machine race."
Pfft.
Jiang He could not help laughing out loud in the end.
He quickly stopped and said, "I'm sorry, I really couldn't help it … how about this, let's talk about the bounty …"
One by one, the corpses were taken out from the storage space by Nine-Five-Two-Seven.
Four Grand Luo.
One Demi-Saint.
As promised, Jiang He rewarded the three Demi-Saints with corresponding rewards and an extra set of mediocre-grade acquired soul treasures, saying, "Please help me spread the word, everyone. It's only when more elites are mobilized that the leaders of the machine race would feel heartache …"
And yet, the three Demi-Saints did not leave, and instead followed behind Jiang He.
Thud!
Nine-Five-Two-Seven promptly knelt on the ground and exclaimed, "Lord Jiang He, we hope to follow you. Please take us in …"
After killing Zero's grandson, they did not dare to leave the Three Realms' domain at all …
Although Zero, the progenitor of the Machine Race, was not a Saint Realm expert, the two Saints of the Machine Race were created by him, so they could be considered his sons …
In fact, his status was even higher than a Saint among the machine race!
Jiang He waved them off impatiently, saying, "Get lost. I don't lack servants … the Jie Sect accepts all sorts of people, so why don't you just join them?"
Still cursing, he returned to the secret room and returned to his farm.
His strengthened Fist of the Six Paths of Reincarnation and Esoteric Nine were about to mature, and Jiang He was not in the mood to take in slaves.
