Inside the underground fortress of the Divination Institute, a group of craftsmen came to a high observation platform. They could see layers of glass walls slowly descending.
At the same time, an intense light shone down from above. Even though there were more than ten layers of glass walls, they could clearly see the figure of the mystical creature inside.
Long Daisen stood still on the observation platform. He suddenly asked, "Does it have a name?"
Yu Dajiang said in a deep voice, "That depends on whether it can succeed or not. If it can't, it will only leave behind a meaningless codename."
Long Daisen said, "Let's hope it can succeed."
Yu Dajiang thought he was worried about his safety. He said, "Brother Long, don't worry. These glass walls have been reinforced by the Divination Institute. It's enough to protect us. If it succeeds, even if I can't control it, the Divination Institute will suppress it."
Long Daisen said, "If we rely on Xuan Zun to suppress it, it won't be considered a success."
Yu Dajiang said, "But the path to the top is open." He looked ahead. "It'll be fine as long as it succeeds once."
If it succeeded once, it could succeed many times. Some things could be tried to make up for.
At this moment, all the craftsmen put on a pair of glasses. Yu and Long Daisen also put on their glasses and looked ahead.
In order for a living being to take the initiative to attempt the upper realm, the living being must first have the potential to do so. The General Hospital had investigated the three puppets and found that they did not possess great power from birth. Instead, they gradually reached that level as they grew. In other words, these mystical living beings could break through the unreachable upper realm through growth.
They had previously replicated this creature, but it died after a few days. This was because the puppets lived in the Third Epoch, and the Dao mechanism of the Turbid Tide was different from the Dao mechanism of the Third Epoch.
Therefore, they did not need to copy it exactly. After hundreds of failures, they finally transformed it into a creation that was suitable for the current Heaven and Earth.
Of course, this could not be done without the indirect support of some upper echelons.
In theory, as long as this creature could survive, it would be able to grow and reach the level that they wanted to reach.
After consulting a certain upper cultivator, they modified the consciousness of this creature. At this moment, as long as a certain signal was sent out and a certain amount of guidance was carried out, it would be able to force this creature into the upper realm.
At this time, a piece of jade on the top of the jade wall lit up and opened to both sides, revealing a hole. After a while, a beam of light shone down and shot straight into the innermost layer of the glass dome. The figure of a Daoist appeared inside. This was a portrait of a certain Xuan Zun. Using this, it could stimulate this creature to seek for life spontaneously.
Long Daisen glanced at it, but the portrait was blurry and he couldn't tell who it was. When he wanted to take a closer look, he felt a wave of dizziness and a ringing in his ears. He felt as if there was something stuck in his chest and he couldn't help but take two steps back.
Yu Dajiang supported him and said, "Brother Long, that's the Xuan Zun's portrait. We can't look at it for too long."
Long Daisen shook his head and said, "I know. It's just that I've never seen it before, so I thought about it a little more clearly."
Yu Dajiang chuckled. Master craftsmen like them all had a strong desire for knowledge. He was also like this in the past, so no one could laugh at each other.
Long Daisen waited for the dizziness to subside before he asked, "May I know who this is?"
Yu Dajiang said, "I don't know, but it should be from a certain Xuan Zun. Otherwise, if we casually use the Xuan Zun's portrait, these powerful beings would sense it. This would be disadvantageous to our Tenki-in Hall."
Just as the two of them were talking, there was a movement in the glass barrier. As the Xuan Zun's portrait shone into the water, the half-human, half-crocodile creature suddenly became anxious.
It was afraid of the portrait, and an uncontrollable fear spread out from its body. If the Xuan Zun really came, it wouldn't be like this. Instead, it would just crawl on the ground and not dare to resist. However, it was precisely because it was just a portrait that it produced a strong desire to live.
However, the first thing it thought of was not to chase after the level of life, but to find a way to escape.
The spiritual light all over its body floated back and forth, and it scuttled back and forth within the glass jade barrier, looking for a way out. It hit the barrier that usually blocked its way, and a series of muffled rumbles could be heard.
As it moved, the master craftsmen couldn't even see its figure clearly. They could only see a mass of water that was stirred up like a raging tide. Moreover, they noticed that the light blue water showed signs of boiling at this moment, as if the observation platform under their feet was trembling slightly.
However, the master craftsmen present were very calm. They had already been informed of the possible scenes that would appear, and these were all expected.
That mystical creature also had a certain level of intelligence. After making all of its efforts and realizing that it was unable to escape from this place, it no longer tried. However, that ever-present sense of threat was oppressing it, and the threat to its life forced it to resist.
During this process, it opened its mouth and let out a sharp whistle. Separated by several glass walls, no sound could be transmitted outside, but everyone felt a wave of discomfort. It was a transmission that originated from a kind of spiritual and mental transmission.
Yu Dajiang revealed a happy expression, and said excitedly, "It's here."
Long Daisen could see through his glasses that after the creature stopped and faced the Xuan Zun, the spiritual light on its body bloomed like a newborn sun. Sharp teeth grew out of its mouth, and some kind of transformation appeared on its body. However, soon, a dazzling light enveloped its entire body, and the light blue water all turned into a mass of gold.
At this moment, a strange feeling rose in the hearts of everyone present. They couldn't describe it, but they felt as if a newborn baby was entering the world, as if the morning sun was rising after a long night. The old things were being abandoned, and a brand new everything was coming.
They couldn't see the specific changes there, but they could clearly feel it in their minds.
On Zenith Peak, Daoist Yu Hang revealed a somewhat surprised expression. He originally thought that this Tenki-in Hall's attempt to let the creator break through to the upper level was just an experiment, but now he really felt a trace of possibility.
Not only him, but the two Xuan Zun guarding Baizhen Mountain and the Glass Jade Heavenly Palace also sensed this change.
However, this Tenki-in Hall's operation this time was reported in advance, and they were aware of it, so they didn't do anything out of the ordinary.
At that moment, the two of them were watching coldly from the sidelines. They could not say that they disliked or liked the fact that the creations were chasing after the upper echelons. The path that Tian Xia was currently taking was a path that was filled with countless changes. With every step forward, a variable would appear. They were naturally able to calmly deal with the changes in various matters.
The light in the glass barrier lasted for two full days without weakening. During this time, the master craftsmen only hurriedly ate some pills and drank some tea that boosted their energy. None of them left, and they were all waiting for the final result.
On the third day, the light finally slowly faded away.
The master craftsmen stared at it. At this moment, what appeared in front of them was a huge monster.
This mystical creature was several times larger than its original appearance. Many fine and thick scales grew out of its body, covering its back and arms. A sharp horn also grew out of its forehead.
This creature originally looked very young, like a teenager, but now, it seemed to have suddenly entered the prime of life. Its upper body was incomparably robust, and the lower half of its crocodile-shaped body could be said to be sturdy. Its four thick crocodile legs firmly supported its body, and the spiritual light on its body was like a floating veil that circled around its surroundings.
It was almost seventy to eighty percent similar to those crocodiles!
However, before the master craftsmen could rejoice, the creature's face suddenly revealed a pained expression. Its body trembled violently, and it seemed to be howling. Then, a bulge appeared on its body, and countless cracks appeared. Its body began to swell, and it became wobbly. The spiritual light around it shook violently, showing signs of instability.
Before the master craftsmen could react, they felt a tremor under their feet. A spiritual light erupted from the glass barrier, but immediately, the Xuan Zun painting bloomed with a gentle light, suppressing it.
After a few breaths, the spiritual light dissipated. The master craftsmen present widened their eyes, revealing a tragic scene in front of them. The glass barrier was full of scattered flesh and broken bones. After a while, they turned into fine gravel-like fragments.
Yu Dajiang revealed a disappointed look and said, "It failed."
Long Daisen frowned and said, "It seems like … something is still missing." He looked at the pile of sand-like fragments, and a faint idea flashed through his mind, but he could not grasp it.
Yu Dajiang shook his head and said, "It's most likely a world that is not compatible with the time of the Third Epoch. We don't know about the changes in the world under the Turbid Tide. If only … if only we had the Ipar technique from Young Master An. Ipar has been in contact with the Hou for a long time, and we can understand a lot of things through it."
Master Craftsman Long asked, "Then is the young man from the An family still unwilling to agree?"
Craftsman Yu said, "This young man is the same as Old Master An. He's very stubborn."
Long Daisen thought for a while and said, "No matter what, it seems like we succeeded for a moment. It's not like we didn't gain anything."
Yu Dajiang nodded and said, "Brother Long is right. As long as the higher-ups are willing to support us, we can still continue."
When Daoist Yuhang sensed the sudden disappearance of the aura on Zenith Peak, he knew the outcome of the matter. He summoned a disciple and ordered him to report to the higher-ups.
In the Golden Court Dao Palace, Chongting Zhi received the news immediately and said, "Did it fail?"
The disciple who sent the message said, "How should I reply to the Tenki-in Hall?"
Chongting Zhi said, "It doesn't matter. Let them try again."
Tianji Creations were going to be prosperous in the next few decades, so as long as the Tenki-in Hall was willing to try, he was willing to support it.
The Tianji Headquarters could not give up either, because they had invested too much manpower and resources. In addition, they saw a glimmer of success, so they could not stop now.
