In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone.

Chapter 179 Return to the Void! The Fourth Stage of Foundation Building!

The red snake stopped talking and angrily stabbed the corpse a few times with its knife-like limbs.

Her voice rang in Wang Jixuan's heart:

"I'm so angry! My sister wanted to be a human so much but ended up being a monster. They are human but they turned themselves into monsters!"

Wang Jixuan smiled but said nothing.

The souls of these six people are hidden in the crystal core. We can take the bodies back for research later. Due to the characteristics of the crystal core, these souls cannot escape on their own.

However, to be on the safe side, he still got six demon-sealing talismans.

'The crystal core is transplanted into the human body, and the brain-eating worm controls the human brain, forcibly enhancing the strength of the psychic.'

"The blade beast has something to offer."

Wang Jixuan's mind was slightly fluctuating. He looked up at the wind and sand that were everywhere, and felt a little more uneasy in his heart.

It seemed as if there were vertical pupils watching coldly everywhere.

During this period of time, he was thinking about how to deal with the spiritual practitioners, but he never forgot that the spiritual practitioners were losers, losers who were defeated by the blade beast civilization.

The real powerful enemies are still these evil beasts.

"Everyone, hurry back. Leave the bodies of these soldiers to the troops arriving later."

Wang Jixuan ordered:

"Mudan, cut off the heads of these six guys, burn the brain-eating worms inside to death, and take back the bodies for research."

"Yes, sir!"

The transport plane slowly descended from the sky.

Just as Wang Jixuan was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and hurried to the wreckage of the plane that had been rescued by Chi Snake, and pulled out Uncle Tai and several surviving researchers.

When they returned to Fortress No. 76, the transport plane flew slowly at low altitude, and the sub-king-level 'Human Soul Blade Beast' Red Snake ran wildly on the ground.

The fortress garrison troops who came to support almost sounded the alarm that the blade beasts were attacking the city.

The members of Shen Qionglin's team who had just arrived at D5 all looked pale, obviously frightened by this scene.

They had never seen such a scene!

When Wang Jixuan returned to Fortress No. 76, on a nearby sand dune, a scorpion-shaped blade beast only centimeters long hidden in the sand aimed its tail at the red snake that was entering the hangar to hide.

The bugs burrowed into the sand and quickly disappeared.

……

Two hours later.

Wang Jixuan sat in the dormitory on the seventh floor of Fortress No. 76 and slowly exhaled.

The Taoist priest didn't worry about how to accommodate Shen Qionglin and her team, as there were plenty of professional talents here.

He was interrupted in his attempt to break through the barrier just now, which caused him some damage. Now he must focus on catching up!

The spiritual consciousness is released and searches everywhere.

The level of martial law at Fort No. 76 has now equaled or even exceeded that of the General Command.

The instructor of the second-generation semi-human mecha Black Shell was staying in the command center on the third floor with Dongfang Zhenghong, observing the battle situation on the six fronts through the screen wall.

Both men had serious expressions on their faces, and it was obvious that the situation on the front line was a bit tense.

The Beast God sent psychics to suddenly join the battle, creating tremendous pressure on the local battlefield.

Fortunately, D5 responded promptly, and Commander-in-Chief Fu Jian rushed over to take charge and was organizing an effective counterattack.

The spiritual consciousness swept over;

Zhou Zhengde was meeting with the consul to study the renovation of the lower city. It seemed that they were going to launch some political activity related to Fortress No. 82.

Wang Jixuan was not interested in these and did not read them much.

Shen Qionglin and the group of white coats she brought with her are now undergoing physical examinations in the surface military camp to test whether they are carrying unknown antigens.

Fortresses are enclosed spaces where infectious diseases are prone to outbreaks.

Although the major comprehensive war zones are consciously updating the people's "antibodies" in a timely manner, those who have returned from other war zones, especially those who have come out of biological laboratories, still cannot reassure everyone.

This inspection is a necessary process.

The Buddhist temple team has returned to their respective residences to rest.

The maids of the Peak Maid Group also began to do some daily maintenance.

The neighbor next door should be on vacation and is still sleeping in broad daylight. Maybe he is staying up late to record a song again?

That is, her sleeping posture is not very pretty, and she is so old, but she is still wearing a nightgown with a bear pattern...

Well, don’t look at anything inappropriate.

Wang Jixuan quickly retracted his spiritual consciousness, and then let it extend naturally. He deliberately avoided a virtual singer next door and maintained basic vigilance.

"peony."

He closed his eyes and said:

"Notify the Buddhist Hall Squad and your team members that combat power may be needed on the front line. If they are willing, they can take a short rest and then apply to the higher authorities to rush over to provide support.

"It's enough to have you stay by my side.

"As long as no one calls, you don't need to wake me up."

"Okay, sir," Mudan blinked, "What if there are other emergencies?"

"Unless someone I know is injured and needs rescue, don't call me for anything else."

"understand!"

Peony said gently:

"It is really a blessing to be recognized by the commander."

Wang Jixuan smiled but said nothing.

Loyal wingmen often flatter their superiors.

——Her humor system includes this.

Wang Jixuan began to enter a state of meditation with his mind calm and focused. Images kept flashing through his mind. They were scenes of him practicing hard in the mountains in his previous life.

He was recalling what he had thought at first.

If you do it again, you will always have some different ideas and find out what is missing and fill in the gaps.

Gradually, stars appeared around Wang Jixuan again, and he seemed to be in a starry sky.

Mudan knelt on the cushion in the corner, habitually pretending that she was charging. Her long eyelashes were stitched together to connect to the fortress network, using this as a starting point to link to the information network of the D5 integrated war zone.

She was helping Wang Jixuan keep an eye on various areas and protecting the people Wang Jixuan cared about in her own way.

For example, Lingtong, Shenhai, Wanjie, Wan Xiaoqi, Zhou Zhengde, Wei Na and so on.

This is the hidden purpose of the loyal wingman. ——That’s what Mudan thinks.

at dusk.

There were no more strange phenomena around Wang Jixuan, and the spirit-releasing formation he had set up was also closed. The stars in the sky had returned to his body, hiding a sea of ​​stars within him.

Wang Jixuan was immersed in the state of Tao and for a moment he was reluctant to leave.

The Return to Void Realm has been successfully entered.

The foundation of Taoism has been initially perfected. All that needs to be done later is to lay a solid foundation, improve the Yuanhun and Dao body as much as possible, and then let the spirit, soul, body, essence and Qi begin to unite, and then you can enter the Ningdan realm.

The Condensation Pill Realm is a big hurdle.

If you can condense the golden elixir, you can embark on the golden elixir path and call yourself a golden elixir Taoist.

By then, cultivators can cross the void, call the wind and rain in a local area by raising their hands, their magic can reach the mysterious world, and the power of Taoism will be greatly increased!

However, Master Wang is still a little far from the Golden Core Realm.

He lost sight of enlightenment and took out the sword pill that he kept close to his body and began the final step of refining the sword pill.

This flying sword is about to be born.

It was this distraction that allowed Wang Jixuan to hear the conversation outside the door.

Zheng Shiduo came to find him but was stopped by Mudan.

"Brother Wang is still being promoted?"

"Yes, the promotion is confidential, please don't spread it."

"I know, I know. My application has been approved. It seems that the front line really needs people. Should our Buddhist temple team go to support? What about the defense here?" Mudan explained: "Mudan will be here, and the application of the maid group has been rejected. According to Mudan's understanding, the military does not seem to lack us robots!"

"Okay," Zheng Shiduo reminded, "We'll leave now. If you have anything, just contact me directly."

"Be careful, Mr. Pervert." Mudan waved her hand in response.

"Why don't I feel anything when you scold me? That's strange," Zheng Shiduo scratched his head and left quickly.

The Buddhist temple team has been fully equipped and is ready to continue its expedition.

Wang Jixuan did not give them any further instructions and continued to concentrate on enlightenment and refining his flying sword.

Although the flying sword is very powerful, it requires the body and soul to nourish it. After it is trained, it must be placed in the sea of ​​​​qi. If the flying sword is damaged later, it will greatly affect oneself.

This is probably what the so-called life-and-death interaction is like.

He didn't know that Mudan had already prepared a piece of good news for him.

The half-human mecha team led by Ling Tong has won a great victory, defeating a king-level blade beast at a very small cost!
Although it is the weakest king-level blade beast around D5.

While the war was about to end, Ling Tong was facing a choice. The 'mastermind' who gave her the opportunity to choose was none other than the devil commander-in-chief who was stationed at the front line in another direction.

……

at dusk.

The battlefield where Lingtong is.

Looking down from the air, a large number of armored clusters drove away from the edge of the mountain of blade beast corpses, and one firepower mecha after another was hung under the transport plane and transported back to the rear base.

The second-line troops who were specifically responsible for clearing the battlefield began to enter the battlefield. They also had to be wary of sudden attacks from blade beasts that might be seriously injured but not dead.

Now, the crystal cores confiscated here, as well as all valuable items from the blade beasts, will be transported back to the D5 headquarters in accordance with the latest temporary laws implemented in the D5 war zone.

The Psychic City can no longer intervene.

In a large supply vehicle driving back to the rear base camp.

Lingtong was lying on the operating table, receiving treatment from the logistics team. There were some charred areas on the right robotic arm, which were injuries caused by pressure overload in the previous fierce battle.

She had never thought before that she could really fight against a king-level blade beast.

With the support of more than ten magical instruments such as the Bagua Plate, and with the help of the psychic modules loaded on their exclusive mechas, and using the Seven-Star Sword Formation, the seven of them, who were not the strongest half-human mechas, actually defeated a king-level blade beast!
This tactic is replicable!

Lingtong was very excited about this.

Therefore, although she is usually serious, there is always an indelible smile on her face.

"Sir?"

A young female mechanic handed me a cup of coffee with a straw.

Lingtong raised his head and took two sips, with fatigue showing in his eyes.

She asked, "How's Fort 76?"

"Everything is fine. Much better than the condition of your robotic arm."

Sister Wan responded without even looking up, staring at the series of data that kept sliding, and said quickly:
"Don't worry about Wang Zheng. They defeated six Beast God Sect psychics before and are now resting in the fortress."

"A psychic from the Beast God sect?"

Lingtong moved the fingers of the robotic arm, and a series of projections appeared in front of her.

This is the information submitted to the headquarters regarding the Beast God Sect:
[The Beast God sent psychics to appear at the border and cooperate with the blade beasts to attack. We suffered heavy casualties. Details. (4 hours ago)]

[A Beast God psychic was found near Fortress No. 76. It is suspected that the other party was attacking the confidential target C23. It has been repelled. Details. (3 hours ago)]

[The latest autopsy shows that all the Beast God psychics have had a crystal core injected into their bodies, some in the stomach, some in the large intestine. Testing their organs revealed that these crystal cores were forcibly inserted into their abdomens, and then the wounds healed on their own. The organs of these psychics have mutated, and they have giant brain-eating worms in their brains. It has been confirmed that this is the first example of blade beasts transforming human bodies. It is recommended to notify all war zones as soon as possible. (3 minutes ago). ]

[It has been confirmed that the total number of Beast God members who defected from the Psychic City is more than 8, and the number of Beast God members who defected from other secret bases in the Psychic City is more than . Attached is the list. ( days ago).]

Lingtong read the first three messages carefully.

She looked a little solemn.

Sister Wan smiled and said, "Don't be stressed. We have a secret weapon: the miracle maker."

"Blade beasts transforming humans," Ling Tong said simply, "This kind of thing has indeed happened. It was only a theoretical possibility before."

"Doesn't this indirectly prove that the Blade Beast is being cornered?"

Sister Wan yawned, her eyes were bloodshot, and she muttered:

"In the past, we didn't have this kind of treatment. Now that the brain-eating worms have been discovered and the blade beasts have lost their surveillance of humans, they are now speaking and transforming psykers.

“Who knows what big things these monsters might do later.

"Didn't they say before that blade beasts can devour and fuse with each other? Although this phenomenon only occurs in low-level blade beasts, it has not been found in mid-level and high-level blade beasts so far.

"But who can say death?"

Ling Tong asked: "Does the other side of the battlefield need our support?"

"Please, you have to rest now."

Sister Wan said helplessly:

"You have accomplished a feat and made a great contribution, now you must recover your strength.

“Close your eyes and get some sleep. If Wang Zheng calls me, I’ll tell you that you’re dating the god of dreams.

"Or, I'll give you a shot of a harmless sleeping potion."

"It's better not to make such jokes. He is a very serious person."

Ling Tong closed her eyes, and a hint of fatigue appeared on her delicate face. She was about to fall into a deep sleep...

"Urgent message from the Commander-in-Chief!"

Lingtong jumped up from the operating table almost as a conditioned reflex, with the robotic arm still connected to wires. He stood tall and proud, and raised his hand to salute the projection screen in front of him.

A dozen logistics personnel in the transport vehicle immediately gathered behind Ling Tong and saluted in a somewhat chaotic manner.

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Fu Jian nodded slightly, looked at Ling Tong, and said simply: "Cut into the encrypted voice channel built into the robotic arm."

"Yes!"

Lingtong tapped her fingers quickly, and Sister Wan hurriedly took out two earphones and put them into Lingtong's ears.

Fu Jian's voice soon sounded:
"Thank you for your hard work in this battle. With seven relatively cheap 15-meter-class exclusive mechas, you defeated the king-class blade beasts. Your names have been written into human military history."

Ling Tong immediately replied: "This is the result of the concerted efforts of everyone in the war zone!"

"That's what you earned through hard work and risking your lives."

Fu Jiandao:
"Don't worry about this direction. I have already activated a small part of the mechanical army. The Beast God's psychics only caused us some chaos. The situation has stabilized now.

"Lingtong, I need you to answer a multiple-choice question now."

"Commander-in-Chief! There are no multiple-choice questions in Lingtong's world. Soldiers only have to follow orders!"

"No, you have to choose and consider it comprehensively."

Fu Jian said in a deep voice:
“The first path is for you to continue to fight on the front lines. Because Wang Zheng has helped you strengthen your body, your overall strength is now comparable to that of a 65%-plus modified half-human mecha.

“In this match, you made the greatest contribution and were the team’s anchor.

"The second way... become my candidate for succession."

Lingtong was stunned.

"If you choose the second path, I will immediately arrange for you to give lectures throughout the war zone to educate the public about the dangers of the Psychic City.

“If you want to be a hero that humans trust, you must first become a hero that humans admire.

"In addition, you will become the chief instructor of the Seven Star Sword Formation and teach the half-man mecha teams in other war zones in the future. Your rank will be promoted to major general within five years."

Fu Jian paused, and sitting behind his simple desk, he interlaced his fingers and pressed them against his nose, and whispered:

“We didn’t see hope before, but now we do, and some plans must go forward.

“In today’s era, becoming a hero of humanity is a very cruel choice for an individual.

“I personally don’t want you to choose this path, but as the commander-in-chief, I must consider making you my successor.

“When can you give me a reply?”

Lingtong opened his mouth slightly.

She hesitated, a rare moment of indecision in her life.
