Li Yao's opinion was supported by most of the Yuanying.
Right now, the situation of the enemy was unknown. If too many Cultivators in the Building Foundation Stage and the Core Formation Stage were sent over, it would be terrible if they were captured by the Immortal Cultivators and interrogated by interrogation methods such as' soul-searching '.
"Fellow Cultivators!"
Jiang Hailiu's eyes were glittering. His voice was as loud as a bell. "There is no doubt that this is the most critical moment for the Heaven's Origin Sector, the Blood Demon Sector, and the Flying Star Sector! After we pass the test, we will be able to claim the extraordinary strength in the relics of the Pangu civilization. We will also be able to decipher a lot of techniques from the minor apocalypse of the Imperium of True Human Beings, which will improve our comprehensive capability by fifty years, a hundred years, or even a hundred years. Also, we will have a golden buffer period of one to two hundred years for our future development!
"If we fail to pass the test, the army of the Imperium of True Human Beings will very likely show up in front of us thunderously in a couple of years!
"It will be a catastrophe for the three Sectors. We will be fish on the chopping board, and our fate and future will be in the hands of other people!
"Whether we were friends or foes in the past, and whether we have different opinions and concerns on our future development, at least right now, we all share the same goal, which is survival!
"Fellow Cultivators, let's fight for our survival. Kunlun belongs to us and must not be taken away by the Immortal Cultivators!"
…
Three days later, deep inside the Grand Desolate Plateau, on the enormous concave surface of the Heaven's Artillery that was more than dozens of kilometers in diameter, countless refiners and workers were busy working like ants and bees.
Sparkle was waiting to be launched in the deepest part of the Heaven's Artillery.
In the preparation room below the Heaven's Artillery, Li Yao put on the most advanced mustard-seed combat suit of the Federation with the help of Ding Ling Dong.
The combat suit had been integrated with the biochemical technology of the Blood Demon Sector. Super tensile synthetic spider silk had been implanted in the critical parts. The material was as thin as the wing of a cicada and almost weightless, but it could provide a higher defense ability than special ceramic plates. Furthermore, when the suit was damaged, the synthetic spider silk would release a special sticky substance and block the damage automatically. Shua!
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Li Yao didn't even need to take a breath. He easily punched hundreds of times. The air was rubbed by his fists and turned into a twisted orange. However, the extensibility and flexibility of the mustard-seed combat suit didn't decrease at all.
Sensing the spiritual energy flowing in and out of the microfiber pores of the mustard-seed combat suit, Li Yao calculated in his head for a moment and smiled. He was very satisfied with the new material.
As he expected, such a mustard-seed combat suit boasted the unique technique of locking and stabilizing spiritual energy. It could automatically adjust the size of the fiber holes and help the Cultivators find the best way to disperse their spiritual energy, thereby reducing the consumption of spiritual energy and increasing their endurance.
Li Yao estimated that the combat suit could prolong his combat duration by at least 10%. Together with the air circulation and temperature adjustment functions of the mustard-seed combat suit, it was most suitable for the environment of outer space where the temperature difference was huge. It was indeed a super combat suit that was more expensive than the Crystal Suit!
For the 'final battle on Kunlun', the entire world of Cultivators had put in their best efforts. It was needless to mention the three Yuanying that set off for Kunlun in the first batch. The other Yuanying experts had also generously offered their most valuable magical equipment for them to take with them. The mustard-seed combat suit was just the most common one, too.
Li Yao checked the magical equipment that he had brought with him again. He truly felt like a tycoon who was armed to the brim!
As the captain of Sparkle, he boasted dual talents in fighting and refining, and he could perform maintenance on starships and star beacons in emergencies. Naturally, he was one of the first explorers.
Other than him, the second member was the Fire Ant.
As a demon emperor, the Fire Ant boasted remarkable combat ability. But more importantly, he was one of the best specialists in the refinement of demonic plants in the Blood Demon Sector. During the decades he served as the leader of the Blade of Chaos, he had studied cells and genes deeply, too.
Also, in the past decades, he had secretly developed countless relics of Chaos. He was one of the best practical archaeologists, or simply known as a grave robber!
Also, because of the deep connection between Ba Yanzhi and the Pangu civilization, there was a dead body of a Pangu in Ba Yanzhi's Mausoleum of Chaos, which had fallen into the hands of the Fire Ant and was currently being studied.
The Fire Ant's understanding of Ba Yanzhi and the Pangu civilization was much higher than that of most Yuanying. Perhaps even Li Yao was not as knowledgeable as him. It was only natural that he became the second explorer.
The third member, on the other hand, was Professor Mo Xuan.
Compared to Li Yao and the Fire Ant, Professor Mo Xuan's combat ability was slightly weaker. But his special body made of liquid metal gave him remarkable self-protection abilities. He could always run if he could not win!
The biggest reason why he was chosen had nothing to do with the relics of the Pangu civilization but the Imperium of True Human Beings.
In the battle to suppress the riot of the Immortal Cultivators, Professor Mo Xuan and the other four star spirits had broken into Xiao Xuance's flagship and absorbed tremendous computational ability of the star child. They had a certain understanding of the crystal processors and the soul system of the Imperium of True Human Beings. In the few years that followed, they had developed several techniques that were similar to the crystal processor virus!
If they ran into the Immortal Cultivators of the Imperium of True Human Beings on Kunlun, chances were that the crystal processor virus of Professor Mo Xuan would work wonders!
Besides, Professor Mo Xuan was a spectral Cultivator in a very special form. He was weightless. If he was brought along, the other four star spirits, who were Li Yao's four senior brothers and the 'Four Kings' of the Refining Department of the Grand Desolate War Institution, would also be brought along!
The four of them had been melded with Sparkle when they were in the Flying Star Sector and could control it freely. After so many years of training, their skills in piloting a starship were even more adept and impeccable. They did not need more crew members to exploit the performance of Sparkle to the maximum!
As a result, while the four star spirits collected astronomical parameters near Kunlun and cleared the sailing routes and jump points with Sparkle, Li Yao and the other three Yuanying would be able to explore Kunlun. Two birds with one stone and a lot of time would be saved.
The three main members of the exploration team on the list all boasted various abilities and had cooperated with each other multiple times. Their tacit understanding with each other was very high. Very soon, they were approved by all the Yuanying.
"I'm sorry. I'm going out again after only a few months of peace at home!"
Li Yao could not hide the eagerness in his eyes. He suddenly thought of his wife. Scratching his head, he said to Ding Ling Dong somewhat embarrassedly, "You won't blame me, will you?"
Ding Ling Dong chuckled and punched his chest heavily. "Alright, stop pretending. I know you very well. You've been itching for a long time, haven't you? We're both people who don't like to stay at home. What's there to blame you for? "
Li Yao was greatly moved. He grabbed Ding Ling Dong's hands and said solemnly, "I'll be back!"
"Of course. If you don't, I'll go to Kunlun and drag you back!"
Li Yao and the rest of them were just the vanguard. They were there to set up star beacons, clear sailing routes, and scout the enemy for the main force.
The real main force would go to Kunlun on Burning Prairie. Ding Ling Dong, as a bellicose, was naturally one of them.
She rubbed her fists, too, and wished that she could grow wings and fly to Kunlun right now. Therefore, she understood Li Yao's feelings very well.
The two of them were both fanatical Cultivators and did not have much romantic interest. Talking and laughing, they left the preparation room and went to the maintenance room nearby.
The most important magical equipment of the battle, the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, which had been fully upgraded, or rather, reforged with the best technology of the three Sectors, was going through the final examination!
The most distinguished Exos of the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Flying Star Sector were gathered around the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit and adjusting the tiniest performance parameters, trying to make it flawless and invulnerable.
Li Yao activated the surveillance light beam and saw all the performance parameters. He couldn't help but marvel at the significant improvement of the parameters. There was truly no end to the world of refining. Before, he had thought that the performance of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit had been maximized. He didn't know that there was still so much room for improvement.
The brand-new Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was still in translucent black, but dark gold stripes had been embedded inside the black plate, making it look intimidating like the stripes of a tiger.
Therefore, the Crystal Suit had been named Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit? Dark Flame Gold!
In terms of appearance, the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit? Dark Flame Gold was not much different from the past. The biggest feature of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was the Cosmos Rings that had been embedded to the shoulders, chest, back, and legs. A lot of components of the Crystal Suit were stored inside the Cosmos Rings.
With a telepathic thought, Li Yao could retrieve a lot of components from the Cosmos Rings at any time and bind them to different forms through the field of spiritual energy.
From the high-mobility form, which was streamlined and had the highest speed, to the melee form, which was full of vibration blades and combat spikes, to the heavy firepower form, which was made of more than a hundred and eight Triple-headed Six-Barrel Rotary Cannons … The Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit could be changed from one form to another. The Dark Flame Gold crystal suit could switch between five different forms freely and was highly adaptable to the battlefield. It was an out-and-out all-purpose crystal suit!
Li Yao was very satisfied with the Crystal Suit. The only shortcoming was that the flying sword that enshrouded Little Black had been broken. There was no place on the brand-new Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit to accommodate Little Black.
He was more or less unhappy about that.
Thinking about that, Li Yao summoned Little Black from his Cosmos Ring.
The little guy that looked like a meatball had been eating and sleeping for the past few months. It would swallow a lot of crystals every day. After it was full, it would either go back to the Cosmos Ring and sleep or float in midair in a daze.
In the past, Black Wing could still move as fast as lightning. But after the seal was removed, it could do nothing. Even when it was flying, it seemed to be wriggling in midair.
Li Yao had no choice but to let it be. After all, he did not have to worry about food. It was not a big deal to keep the little guy by his side.
"Little Black, do you still remember the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit? In the past, you liked to melt into the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit and fight side by side with me. Do you think there's a way to melt into it? "
Li Yao asked expectantly.
But out of his expectation, the black meatball extended a few tentacles and sensed the surroundings. Then, every tentacle shook and retreated lazily.
