Spectre's Mechanical Body
The ancient battlefield was, of course, exciting. Even without the allure of divine weapons, just going to that mysterious place was a rare experience.
Xia Fei had always been a very curious person, so he was very much looking forward to the ancient battlefield where the two peak races fought, hoping that he could go and take a look.
The old demon lord replied, "Though the ancient battlefield has been abandoned, it hasn't been closed. It reopens every ten years, and most of these silver compasses have been melted down and forged into divine weapons, so there aren't many of them left."
"Only a few of the most powerful clans in the circle have compasses that lead to the ancient battlefield. Once the ten-year period is up, these clans will send people to the ancient battlefield, hoping to find the treasures left behind from ancient times.
"In the Primordial Era, the equipment used by the warriors was of the highest quality, and many of them have already been lost to time. If any clan could find one or two of these relics on the ancient battlefield, that would be a great stroke of luck. Our Lionheart Royalty originally had seven such compasses, but during one of our operations, we were ambushed by the enemy. The seven-man squad was almost completely wiped out, and only one person made it back alive. That's why this compass is the Lionheart Royalty's last pass.
Xia Fei nodded. "No wonder you want to send this compass back to your clan. It's because this is your last pass. If even this compass is lost, the Lionheart bloodline will be kicked out of the ancient battlefield. Still, there's something I don't understand. You're one of the top clans of the Demon Race, so why do you care about a tiny ancient battlefield?"
Oro smiled mysteriously and strangely said, "There are some things that you won't understand unless you see them for yourself."
Xia Fei mulled over the old demon lord's words, and it seemed that he was referring to something else. In any case, the ancient battlefield was a very mysterious place, and it was a very important place to the Lionheart Royalty.
The ten-year period had yet to come, and Xia Fei had yet to obtain the activation password. No matter how mysterious this silver compass was, it was useless now. Xia Fei put the compass away and stared at the Bloodswallow Gem.
'A Law Emperor warrior, here I come!' Xia Fei excitedly said in his mind.
…
Kane's Castle in the Sky was not a suitable place for cultivation and promotion. Xia Fei activated the compass and sent himself and Seth back to the Hidden Realm where the mechs were hiding.
This operation in the Exiled Grounds could be considered to have ended satisfactorily. Finding Hyacinth to work for Xia Fei, killing Quinn, taking in a Law Emperor as a slave, and obtaining four transcendent artifacts, the rewards could not be said to be low.
"What … what is this place?" Seth was extremely surprised. The Automaton race had built a flourishing mechanical civilization in the Hidden Realm. There were countless robots and gigantic buildings, and anyone who came here for the first time could not help but be amazed. Seth was no exception.
"You'll be staying here for the time being until I assign you a new mission," Xia Fei casually said.
As for how to deal with Seth, Xia Fei had yet to come up with a plan. With his strength, he would not be of much help to him. Seth was the local tyrant in the Exiled Grounds, so he could be Xia Fei's guide, but once he left the grounds, he would no longer be that important.
Upon learning of Xia Fei's return, Sentinel Goddess Sophie, Avril, Lil Pea, Dimsky, and Warstar all came to welcome him, but they did not see Phantoms. They had no idea where that wandering soul had run off to.
"This is Seth, my new slave. Find a place for him to stay, and I'll make arrangements for him in the future," Xia Fei said to Warstar.
Warstar nodded and led Seth out of the meeting room, arranging a comfortable room for him. There were some things that Seth did not need to know. He only needed to carry out his orders and do his job as a slave.
It did not take long for Warstar to return, a look of shock on his face.
"Your slave is very powerful. He's a Law Emperor?!" Warstar came to Xia Fei's side and sternly asked.
Xia Fei nodded. "That's right. Seth is indeed a Law Emperor and has grasped the power of the Law of Rock."
Avril was startled, looking at Xia Fei with eyes full of worship.
Which woman did not wish for their man to be powerful? The fact that Xia Fei had so easily brought back a Law Emperor slave was enough to prove just how powerful he was. He also had hundreds of millions of mechs as his subordinates. Xia Fei's strength was probably something that even the Panhuman Alliance President Tai could not compare to.
Dimsky appeared very worried as he sternly said, "Xia Fei, a Law Emperor slave is of course very useful. There won't be any problems if you stay in Steel City, but if you leave this place, you must take Seth with you, or else we won't be his match."
Dimsky was a scientist, and his thoughts were meticulous. His worry was not without reason. Law power represented the ultimate combat power of the universe, and even General Warstar was not Seth's match. The moment he rebelled, there would be trouble. Though robots were not afraid of death, Avril was still living in the Hidden Realm.
Xia Fei smiled. "You don't need to worry about that. Since I dared to bring him here, I naturally have something to rely on. Seth won't dare to do anything."
Dimsky paused for a moment before asking, "I naturally believe you, but what do you plan to do with such a powerful slave?"
Xia Fei lit a cigarette. "I plan to send Seth to Charlie's side when the time is right. A Law Emperor won't be of much use in the Law Realm, but it'll be a different story if Quantum Holdings has a Law Emperor overseeing it."
Warstar nodded repeatedly, somewhat excitedly saying, "The Hidden Realm has a powerful fleet and army, so safety won't be a problem. On the other hand, Charlie's side is indeed lacking an expert. If you send Seth over, I believe that no one in the entire Pan-human Alliance will dare to have any ideas about your company."
Dimsky did not agree with Xia Fei's plan. He stroked his chin like an old man and said, "Even without an expert overseeing it, Quantum Holdings will still be able to do as it pleases in the Pan-human Alliance. After all, the company's strength is there for all to see. Besides, the company has a connection with us, and we have spies in the Alliance who can reinforce Charlie at any time. In my opinion, why don't we send Seth to be Miss Avril's personal bodyguard? That way, she'll be able to take care of her wherever she goes."
Dimsky was indeed an extremely intelligent robot. He knew that Xia Fei was actually most concerned about Avril, which was why he had made this suggestion.
Xia Fei shook his head and softly said, "I'll have to personally protect Avril's safety."
The living room was silent. Sophie and the other robots did not understand love, but they could sense an indescribable feeling in Xia Fei's words. It was very sincere and very tempting.
Avril was stunned, and her two eyes gradually became crystal clear. She leaned her head on Xia Fei's shoulder, looking incredibly happy.
…
Though Xia Fei was deeply in love with Avril, he was still used to leaving his personal matters for last. As for the use of the Bloodswallow Gems, he would first discuss it with Phantom before carrying it out. The Law Emperor stage was far too important to Xia Fei, and he needed to be careful.
Avril was already used to this. Men should focus on proper matters. If Xia Fei was someone who could not move his legs at the sight of a woman, Avril might not even look up to him.
"I'm going to Sophie's for a bit. Wait for me," Xia Fei said to Avril after leaving the living room.
Avril firmly nodded. "Yes, I understand. I'll make you some zhajiang noodles with your favorite cucumber strips and tomatoes."
Xia Fei smiled and scratched his head. "That'll be great. My stomach sure is disappointing. I've eaten all sorts of delicacies, but I just can't forget zhajiang noodles."
Following Sophie to her room, Sophie seemed to be deep in thought. She pursed her lips and said, "Sometimes, I really envy you and Avril. Why is it that when Father programmed our logic, he gave us intelligence but didn't program love?"
Xia Fei laughed. "Love isn't that simple. Most of the time, it's a kind of dependence, a kind of chemical reaction. Perhaps it's not that Progenitor didn't program love for you two, but that he couldn't."
Sophie was slightly taken aback. "Is love really that complicated?"
"Very," Xia Fei answered simply. He did not want to discuss the problem of love with Sophie, for Xia Fei did not know much about it.
"Just what are you and Phantom up to? Why didn't he come to see me? "Xia Fei changed the topic.
Sophie chuckled. "You should solve that problem yourself."
As they spoke, the two arrived at Sophie's room.
The alloy door opened automatically, and Sophie gestured for him to enter. Xia Fei strode in and shouted, "Phantom, where the hell have you been?"
Robots did not need to rest. Sophie's room was more like a laboratory. The furnishings were messy, with machines and instruments everywhere, as well as piles and piles of materials.
Xia Fei took two glances, but where was Phantom in the huge room?
All of a sudden, Xia Fei noticed a skinny robot that was less than a meter tall in the corner. It had a very thick aura of Phantom.
Xia Fei could not help but walk over, while Sophie smiled and stayed by the door to observe.
After carefully inspecting the robot, Xia Fei said in a deep voice, "I didn't think you two would actually complete the fusion of a robot and a soul. Phantom, why aren't you saying anything? "
* Slap slap slap! *
Xia Fei reached out and knocked on Phantom's head a few times, only to see that the robot had a very aggrieved look on its face, yet it did not say a word.
Sophie walked over to Xia Fei and said with a smile, "Based on the remnant information in the database, Phantom and I have come up with a preliminary fusion technique, but this technique isn't perfect. Phantom's consciousness has already entered the machine, yet he can't speak or move. It's just a simple fusion."
"This technique still needs some time to be perfected, and when that time comes, Phantom will be able to obtain a new body, a sturdy steel body."
Xia Fei nodded repeatedly. Phantom was his mentor and helpful friend, and if Phantom had a body, it would be of great help to Xia Fei. There were many things that Phantom would not just need to talk about but could actually complete for Xia Fei.
Take pharmacology, for example. With a body, Phantom could concoct potions for Xia Fei in his free time, and there was no need for Xia Fei to do it himself. He could become Xia Fei's personal pharmacist.
Phantom's achievements in pharmacology were extraordinary, so there would naturally be no problem for him to concoct potions. Xia Fei could save this time and devote it to cultivation. As the saying went, everyone had their own specialties. Xia Fei was progressing in all aspects at once, and the most distressing thing was that he did not have enough time.
The robot, which was less than a meter tall, was exquisitely made. Its face was puckered, not moving at all.
