"You even know about 'Cultivators'?"
Xiahou Wuxin was even more curious about Li Yao's background, but he did not ask further. Organizing his thoughts, he said, "The so-called 'Judgment Day' was in fact a destructive attack launched by the Immortal Cultivators against the civilization of Cultivators of the Martial Meritocrats Sector. In the earthshaking battle, the entire planet was burnt to the ground. Almost all the cities were razed to the ground, and the resistance warriors of the Martial Meritocrats Sector were all butchered.
"However, in the legends, part of the warriors still persisted in their resistance. They either split up into unpredictable guerillas in the broken walls and the enormous underground cities, or they fled out of the Martial Meritocrats Sector to the depths of the universe after seizing the warships of the Immortal Cultivators, where they dealt with the Immortal Cultivators on a vaster battlefield.
"At that time, the Heavenly Rails and Manjusaka had not been established yet. The super barriers that covered the entire planet did not exist. It was relatively easy for them to escape.
"The survivors of the Martial Meritocrats Sector who fled to the sea of stars called themselves' Starlight '. It is said that they had been contacting other magnates in the sea of stars who were against the Immortal Cultivators, trying to overthrow the reign of the Immortal Cultivators together with the resistors left in the Martial Meritocrats Sector. At the very least, they were trying to destroy Manjusaka and liberate the entire planet!
"Because you were so familiar with the magical equipment of the Martial Meritocrats Sector just now as if you had used it before, I speculated that you were from Starlight."
Bulging her eyes, Xin Xiaoqi looked at Xiahou Wuxin and then at Li Yao. She mumbled, "Cultivators? Immortal Cultivators? "
Han Te and the Coloured Glaze looked at each other and exclaimed in delight at the same time, "So, the Cultivators do exist. There is even a sizable resistance organization!"
Li Yao smiled in his heart, realizing that there was not just a 'sizable resistance organization' but also a powerful country!
Pondering for a moment, he asked again, "Are you sure that 'Starlight' exists?"
"Yes."
Xiahou Wuxin nodded and said, "Because in the orders that 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky' gave me, the most important one was to investigate the information about 'Starlight' and the 'Cultivators'. The intelligence about them is of paramount importance and must be dealt with more than any mutated beasts or test materials. I think that 'Starlight' must've caused a lot of trouble for the Immortal Cultivators and is still fighting to this day."
Li Yao asked, "Then, have you seen anyone from 'Starlight'?"
"No."
Xiahou Wuxin said, "Most of the intelligence about 'Starlight' was collected by me in secret, but I've never seen a living Cultivator. Come to think of it, the organization has existed in the space zones near the Land of Sins and the Martial Meritocrats Sector for at least hundreds of years. Since it has not been completely annihilated by the Immortal Cultivators, it must've been extremely secretive. How could a nobody like me have discovered it?
"However, I'm told that they once tried to sabotage a few other Elysian Worlds. Perhaps they intended to sneak into 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky' through the 'towers' of those Elysian Worlds, but they all failed. After the organization suffered a few serious strikes, it became even more silent and dangerous.
"Right. A few months ago, I also received a notice from 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky' that 'Starlight' was probably planning an unprecedented sabotage operation. All the Elysian Worlds were asked to be more vigilant and be more prepared."
"An unprecedented sabotage operation?"
Li Yao's crystal eyes glittered, and his soul grew even more excited. "It seems that a storm is coming!"
"Then, do you know how to sneak into 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky'?"
A Boxing Champion asked coldly.
"I know a thing or two, including part of the structure inside the City in the Sky."
Xiahou Wuxin's lips curled into a weird smile.
"How do you know?" Li Yao asked curiously. "Wei Xiaotian and the rest of them wouldn't have told you such important things, would they?"
"The Immortal Cultivators only regard me as an old dog. Naturally, they would not tell me any critical information about 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky'."
Xiahou Wuxin grinned hideously. "However, the death rate of the 'trial-takers' and the 'experimenters' in the Land of Sins is very high. Some of them are even dragged into the nests of the mutated beasts, where their bodies are nowhere to be found. The Immortal Cultivators will not go through the trouble of searching for their bodies.
"Some of the corpses whose brains were still fresh, and some of the guys who were heavily wounded by the mutated beasts but still alive, fell into my hands. In the darkness hundreds of meters below the ground where all communication is cut off, 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky' won't know what happened no matter what."
The awe-inspiring tone in his voice caused everyone to shiver after exchanging glances with each other.
Xiahou Wuxin sniffed and said, "I knew that I would be kicked to the curb one day. Would I really just wait to be killed? An eye for an eye. Since the Immortal Cultivators could treat the sinners in the Land of Sins as test subjects, it would be karma for me to apply all the methods I learned from them to them! "
"Master," Xin Xiaoqi mumbled, "I've been wrong about you all this time …"
"Not exactly."
Xiahou Wuxin smiled bitterly. "Although I've been planning in secret all the time, I never had the courage to completely break up with 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky'. After all, the more intelligence I elicited from those guys, the more scared I was of the enemy that I was faced with. Even if we could really blow up 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky', how were we going to face the Imperium of True Human Beings behind it? That was why I hesitated to this day! "
"I don't know what the Imperium of True Human Beings is exactly."
A Boxing Champion said calmly, "However, if it stands in my way of exploring the path of 'strongest', I will still try my best to blow it up! As for the success or failure, it is not important. It is not worth wasting computational ability to consider. "
Xiahou Wuxin looked at Xin Xiaoqi, Han Te, and the Coloured Glaze whose faces were full of stubbornness, and then at Li Yao and A Boxing Champion who were cold. His eyes were burning red again as he said in a low voice, "Perhaps you are right. I've been a dog for fifty years, and it is not until today that I realize how satisfying it is to hold one's head high and be a righteous person!
"Whether we succeed or fail, we will have a great fight. Even if we are really killed, we will at least be able to meet … the people who have passed away a long time ago confidently, right?"
"Rest assured."
There was unparalleled confidence in Li Yao's voice. Flames of fury that could burn through the crust of the planet and pierce through the sky were triggered out of his soul. "As long as I am here, it will not be us who will be killed but our common enemy! Leader Xiahou, bring out all the magical equipment in this place. Let me think carefully about how to put on the most suitable equipment for all of you! "
For three hours, Li Yao seized every second. He did not waste even the blink of an eye. He was completely devoted to the modification and upgrade of magical equipment.
Three hours later, all the mechanical arms on the multipurpose maintenance platform were truly worn out and broken by him. His job was done!
Focusing on Xiahou Wuxin's specialties in flying swords, he had modified a Crystal Suit known as' Infinite Sword Suit 'for him. The thousand tiny flying swords had all been cleansed by his soul, and every rune array had been redrawn with spiritual threads. Their speed and damage had been more than doubled!
In the meantime, Xiahou Wuxin had been soaking in the medical cabin to recover. After his wounds were mostly healed, he put on the most aggressive 'Infinite Sword Suit'. He looked like a completely different person from the wounded, dying man a moment ago!
Xin Xiaoqi had chosen the path of agility, unpredictability, and even stealthiness. Li Yao had also fully upgraded the ejector magical equipment on her hands and feet. He melted it into a high-speed reconnaissance Crystal Suit, truly turning Xin Xiaoqi into a wild cat that was jumping up and down. She was so happy that she was shrieking with snot popping out of her nose again.
As for Han Te and the Coloured Glaze, they had not systematically learned how to use the Crystal Suit. If they put on the Crystal Suit recklessly, not only would their combat ability not be enhanced, they would also become burdens that would hinder them.
Li Yao therefore selected two power battle suits that had the muscle enhancement function for them. He also added nine defense rune arrays to their armor to ensure that the two little fellows could keep themselves alive in the fierce battlefield and provide enough firepower with the guns that were thicker than their thighs.
As for Li Yao himself, he had other plans in mind.
Now that he had acquired the 'high-molecular layer-by-layer scanning maintenance magical equipment', and he had a Cosmos Ring that could transport it out, he had to consider leaving the planet of the Martial Meritocrats Sector as soon as possible and combining it with his body of flesh and blood that was waiting to be fed.
If he stayed on the planet of the Martial Meritocrats Sector, he would be monitored from the sky all the time. Hiding below the ground forever was not a solution, either.
Therefore, the best way to completely sabotage it was to completely consolidate the Divinity Transformation Stage after it was melted with his body of flesh and blood and then sneak into "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky" in secret.
The body of the clumsy, thick, and black tracked spiritual puppet was too cumbersome and too big of a target. Chances were that it had already been locked onto by the Immortal Cultivators.
Therefore, Li Yao assembled a spiritual puppet in the shape of a spider for himself with the remaining materials in the secret warehouse. It was somewhat similar to the beast puppet "Tarantula" that he had produced when he passed the qualification test of refiners years ago.
Yes. Li Yao had installed a remote crystal processor in the clumsy tracked spiritual puppet, allowing the five pairs of wheels to still crush the enemy. But his own soul was hiding inside the "Tarantula" and pretending to be a beast puppet.
As a result, even if the Immortal Cultivators traced the clues to the Village of Peace based on the video files on the battlefield and locked onto the spiritual puppet for cleaning and maintenance purposes, they would not be able to find the real Li Yao!
