Da Qi State's capital, Dongling.
The entire Tiandang Mountain in the east of the capital had been transformed by the Da Qi State's royal family into a secret building within the mountain. The entire mountain had been hollowed out, and a large number of mechanisms and fortifications had been built inside with the latest technology.
At this moment, in the depths of the mountain, the only remaining top-notch Taoist priests in the Da Qi State were gathered. They could be said to be the group of people who had the deepest understanding of Taoist techniques and technology in the entire Central Plains.
At this moment, a young man was lying on an operating table. However, half of his face, limbs, and chest had been replaced with metal.
In front of the glass window outside the operating room, the State Preceptor of the Da Qi State, Ji Xingling, asked, "How's Baizuo?"
Next to the State Preceptor, a man covered in a black robe, revealing only a pair of silver-white hands, replied, "80% of his body's tissues have been replaced with the Ancestor Alloy. All the parameters are good, and he can still activate his Vision Domain ability.
"The most important thing is that the Ancestor Alloy has greatly improved Baizuo's bodily functions. The geocentric engine in his abdomen allows him to directly extract the power of the Star Core. "He can also perform anti-gravity and super-gravity operations."
This man was the current Palace Master of the Longevity Demon Palace and also the current Chairman of the Longevity Group. Ever since the Da Qi State had taken over the entire Longevity Demon Palace, they had been supporting them in various research.
The young man who was called Baizuo was obviously one of their great achievements over the years.
"Invincible defense, the fastest speed in theory, endless energy, the assistance of gravity manipulation, the ability to evolve in the environment, the ability to reshape the Ancestor Alloy, and the Evolution Blood in his body, he has the ability to continuously evolve himself according to his opponent."
"According to the calculations of the first team, even if he were to fight against Zuo Qingcang at his peak three years ago, he would have a 60% chance of winning."
Ji Xingling nodded and continued to ask, "Then, has the theory behind the Ancestor Alloy and the geocentric engine been deciphered?"
"… Not yet, but this doesn't affect our application. Furthermore, Baizuo now has the experience of several hundred martial arts experts. He can definitely unleash 100% of his combat abilities."
"Wait a minute." Ji Xingling touched the glass in front of him and pointed in the left direction. He saw the young man on the operating table looking in their direction. "This glass shouldn't be able to see us."
"Uh … Yes, this is a one-way glass. The other side is facing the light, so he shouldn't be able to see us here." The black-robed man said, "But Bai Zuo's right eye has been replaced with an infrared eye. He might be able to sense our energy."
Ji Xingling nodded. "Increase the dosage of the medicine. Add a set of electromagnetic interference devices to the chest and limbs to ensure safety."
"Understood."
Ji Xingling looked at Bai Zuo on the operating table with a deep fear in his eyes. In order to obtain a weapon that could restrain Zuo Qingcang, they might have really created something that should never have been created.
Three years ago, he and Cao Xi, the Emperor of the Da Qi state, had explored the Ancestor's Mausoleum together. Most of the things inside had been destroyed by the passage of time. There were no secret manuals, no magic treasures, and no shocking secrets.
Just as Cao Xi was feeling impatient, they opened the jade coffin of the Ancestor of the Da Qi state. There was no emperor's body in it, only a golden armor.
That armor was used by the Ancestor of the Da Qi state to conquer the world. It was the invincible Dragon Armor of the Celestial Emperor.
The power of this armor was almost endless. The geocentric engine could extract the energy of the earth's core. The magnetic crystal armor could vibrate the void and manipulate gravity. The special alloy that made up the main component of the armor was called the Ancestor Alloy by the researchers of the Da Qi state. It was a special material that breathed like a living thing. It would constantly absorb various trace elements over time to improve its strength, repair its parts, and even evolve to adapt to the environment.
There were also the Black Magnetic Seven Demons Sword, Primordial Light Limitless Saber, Immemorial Thunder God Cannon, Ancestral Dragon Spine, and other weapons and equipment. Even if an ordinary person wore it, he or she would become a top expert in the world.
If a Void Refinement Stage expert wore it, he or she would have the power to overturn rivers and seas and destroy cities and countries. When Ji Xingling wore the Celestial Emperor Armor of the Celestial Emperor, his combat power could be increased by more than ten times. It was equivalent to Ling Huchong obtaining the Sword of Light. His destructive power was simply unimaginable. If he encountered Dongfang Bubai, he could kill him with one sword.
However, if that was all, they were still not 100% sure that they could defeat Zuo Qingcang.
Therefore, in order to better unleash the power of the Celestial Emperor Dragon Armor and to integrate the power of current technology and dao techniques into it, Cao Xi personally appointed a research and development team consisting of Ji Xingling, Longevity Devil Palace, Thunder Firmament Peak, and several other top teams. They spent three years to reforge the Celestial Emperor Dragon Armor and created this thing called Defeat.
They had used the Daoist arts of the Longevity Devil Palace to recast the Ancestor Alloy. They had used the electronic storage technology of the Thunder Firmament Peak and the most advanced electromagnetic Daoist arts and reaction programs, which had enabled Bai Zuo's reaction speed to reach the nanosecond level. They had also used Ji Xingling's light-darkness sensing technology to develop the indestructible magnetic vibration weapon. They had used countless cutting-edge technologies, rare magical equipment, and materials. Bai Zuo before their eyes could be said to be the essence of the combination of ancient Daoist arts and modern technology.
Ji Xingling and Cao Xi were more and more shocked by the data obtained from several combat experiments.
Gradually, the goal of defeating Zuo Qingcang had become secondary. They were shocked by the power of Defeat. Now, being able to completely control this final weapon was the number one goal of the Da Qi State.
After looking through today's experiments, Ji Xingling led the Longevity Devil Palace's Palace Master, Jia Youzhi, out of the base.
However, halfway through their journey, a researcher rushed over with a large stack of documents in his hands.
"What's the matter?"
"Sir, the government of Atlantis has published two research papers. Based on our conjecture, these are probably written by Zuo Qingcang."
"Zuo Qingcang?" Ji Xingling's gaze changed. He snatched the documents from the researcher's hands and started reading them. The more he read, the more surprised he became.
"Mutated ability … Artificial Life Clusters … Could this be the secret of how the Southern Sacred Gate seized the Life Clusters?" Ji Xingling frowned and said, "Could it be that Zuo Qingcang has already grasped the method to create artificial Life Clusters? "However, if this is the case, he will at most be able to create a large batch of Daoist priests who are at the Life Cluster level. Cultivating the Heavenly Palace and creating the Milky Way require one's intelligence and knowledge."
When he saw the part about artificial Life Clusters, he was only slightly surprised. Even if Zuo Qingcang had really grasped the method, he would definitely not be a match for Bai Zuo if he were to mass-produce Life Clusters. He would just have more cannon fodder.
