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

Chapter 277: Psychic Retreat
Give back the gift...

You're so polite.

I could just give him eight or ten boxes of the "scraps" piled up in this subspace, and that would be like repaying this small favor, right?
Wang Jixuan was lying in the sarcophagus and couldn't help yawning. Number Five had already leaned over and looked over at him.

"How to do it?"

"You can just rest," Number Five's voice was clear and moving, but his expression was very cold.

This made Wang Jixuan wonder if this guy had two personalities, one lively and active, the other noble and indifferent.

"Can I trust you?"

"Like I trust you."

"Okay," Taoist Wang slowly closed his eyes, and with the attitude of 'make the best of it', he pretended to fall asleep.

Of course he couldn't just fall asleep!
The most basic vigilance is still necessary.

The surrounding light and shadows flickered, the sarcophagus was activated by No. 5, and streams of warm currents gathered from all directions.

The spire trembled slightly.

The large number of crystal cores buried under the base of this spire, the stored crystal cores hidden and arranged in various parts of the subspace, and some rare spiritual minerals that can naturally emit spiritual energy, are all contributing a little spiritual energy at this moment.

Faint points of light converged toward the spire;

The light from the suspended stone slab in the studio is like a breathing light effect, brightening and dimming rhythmically, and more and more spiritual energy is converging towards it.

The warm currents that flowed into Wang Jixuan's body grew from streams to rivers;

Good opportunity!
Wang Jixuan quickly cheered up, struggled to sit up from lying flat, and sat cross-legged in meditation.

The black and gray skirt fluttered, and a pair of white and slender legs stepped into the sarcophagus.

Number Five frowned and looked at Wang Jixuan: "Aren't you going to lie down?"

"Hmm?" Wang Jixuan opened his eyes and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Number Five said calmly, "Absorbing spiritual energy. My injuries have improved a lot, and my body can now accommodate more spiritual energy. By the way, I'll share some with you... If I'm not lying down, my absorption efficiency will be much lower. Unless you teach me the method to make spiritual energy flow along a fixed route."

"That requires us to completely trust each other."

Wang Jixuan looked inside the sarcophagus and tried to shrink into the corner.

"You should be able to lie down here if you become smaller."

"Why don't we just lie side by side?"

"Stop, it's easy to cause misunderstandings," the Taoist priest said honestly, "We are partners, there is no need to be so ambiguous."

"What kind of outdated ideas are these... There's no one else here, and I'm not interested in your body, let alone doing something despicable like stealing someone else's spouse."

The Taoist priest did not answer, but just looked at her with a smile.

Number Five was speechless, and finally turned into the 'low-power standby' appearance of the yellow-haired lolita, lying in the sarcophagus, with her two little feet stepping on Wang Jixuan's legs.

Streams of spiritual energy passed through the spire and continuously gathered towards the two of them.

These spiritual energies have been purified, are very pure, and are not endowed with any attributes.

Wang Jixuan originally wanted to proceed step by step, but when faced with such an opportunity, he naturally couldn't let it go.

Well, it’s not too late to push your realm up first and then proceed step by step!

The Taoist priest quickly entered into a state of cultivation, and in just a few moments, the Qi sea in his body was filled again from an almost exhausted state.

He originally wanted to take the opportunity to experience the specific function of the sarcophagus and comprehend the spiritual energy circuit.

Now I don’t have the time to comprehend and should concentrate on doing my old job of cultivating immortals.

It seems like he can directly enter the middle stage of Nascent Soul Realm today?
According to the rules of cultivation, the higher the realm, the slower the breakthrough. The Dao body needs to be tempered and the Yuan soul needs to be nourished. In the realm of Dan Ning, both also need to continue to merge with the Qi Sea.

Wang Jixuan had walked this road once. This time, he did not copy the answers, but put the reference answers at the bottom of the test paper and traced them one by one. After tracing, he would think about it again to see if there was any room for filling in the gaps.

After the Taoist priest's health recovered, he took advantage of the excellent cultivation environment here without hesitation to temper his Taoist body, nourish the wronged souls, and promote the integration of the two with the sea of ​​​​qi.

Faintly, Wang Jixuan also felt a wonderful Taoist charm and smelled the fresh fragrance of flowers.

The core circuit of a spiritual practitioner is a fragment of the Tao, a nearly perfect enlightenment stone;
Wang Jixuan sensed it carefully, and unconsciously began to comprehend... the core circuit of No. 5 Weilaminatuk. He gained insights easily.

This return gift was unexpectedly generous.

……

Peony sat by the slate wall, somewhat bored.

She held a philosophy book, playing the role of a cultured and high-quality maid, but in fact she was collecting information, processing intelligence, and ensuring that her superiors would not be put in a passive position.

A piece of news caught her attention.

The war in the D3 integrated war zone ended with the sudden retreat of the psychics.

Before the other side retreated, they showed an attitude of wanting to fight with us, but they withdrew directly from the underground within half an hour.

By the time the front-line commander reacted, those guys had already escaped without a trace.

run away?

Why is that?
Mudan didn't quite understand. Logically speaking, the Psychic City should have launched a massive attack at this stage, taking advantage of the Pillar-level Blade Beasts about to awaken, and forcing D5 to bow down...

"Why are the Six Elders' decisions so strange?"

Mudan didn't quite understand this, but she didn't take it too seriously.

She was unable to access the network of the Psionic City, which was physically isolated from the outside world.

No matter what, this news must be reported to the superiors.

"peony!"

Zheng Shiduo's greeting came from outside the window.

Mudan walked to the window, smiled politely, and asked Zheng Shiduo on the roof of the next building: "Is there anything wrong, Captain Zheng?"

"Is Teacher Wang coming over tonight?"

"The commander has not yet finished dealing with the spiritual practitioner's problem. It seems that he cannot get through. Let everyone follow the schedule. Later, the commander will give everyone lessons when he has time."

"it is good!"

Zheng Shiduo stared at the slate wall for a long time, wondering, "Where is Sister Lingtong?"

"I'm going to shoot a speech video."

"Well, there are a few of her fans here, um, uncles and aunts, who want to ask her for an autograph."

Mudan smiled and said, "This shows that Commander Lingtong's propaganda is beginning to bear fruit."

Zheng Shiduo chatted with Mudan for a while, checked the time, and ran to invite the new students to have a meal together in the lower city of the fortress.

They are not going to the 46th floor to fall into collective depravity;
It's simply because there is a large enough venue for dining there, and they can also hold karaoke, an ancient but long-lasting entertainment activity.

Mudan returned to her own exclusive position and continued to organize the information.

Ding.

[Mai Xiaomei: Da Mudan, is your boss busy? I'm on my way back and have something to discuss with him. It's not urgent, but it's quite important.]

Aunt Dragonfly has sent her teacher back?
The action was quite swift.

Mudan speculated that the important matter mentioned by Aunt Dragonfly should be related to the sudden retreat of the City of Psychic Power in D3.

[Da Mudan: You can come directly to the studio. The boss is still busy.]

[Mai Xiaomei: To be on the safe side, you should raise your alert to the highest level. There are many unusual signs in the Psychic City. The three spiritual practitioners hiding underground have just summoned several SS-level psychics from the Natural School, who are my teachers.]

[Big Peony: Got it. Can this message be sent to the commander-in-chief at the same time? ]

[Mai Xiaomei: You don't have to bother. His intelligence network is much stronger than you think. He must have known it.]

[Big Peony: OK, have a good trip. ]

After closing the chat box, Mudan increased her efforts in collecting information, and relevant information gradually gathered.

D3 Xingrui Wilderness Psyker retreated less than half an hour later;

A large number of transport planes appeared at the thirteen branches of D2, D3 and D, and the fleet rushed to the north. Obvious flames appeared in these branches.

In the next two hours, several secret bases opened up in the Psychic City shut down the 'Doomsday Response System' and disappeared from the map.

The answering system is something that all fortresses must operate automatically;
The answering system was shut down, most likely because the building was completely without power and humans had left the building. Satellite images showed that a large number of aircraft were converging from all directions toward the Arctic Circle.

There are dozens of bases outside the Psychic City. These bases are scattered in high-latitude areas. Satellite images show that these bases are brightly lit to welcome those aircraft.

The several major integrated war zones related to this matter remain silent at this moment.

There has been some speculation about Peony.

The awakening level of the pillar-level blade beasts continues to increase;
The Great Psychic Retreat;

Looking at these two things together, we can probably conclude that the City of Psychic Power must want to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between two tigers.

This is not the decisiveness of a hero cutting off his arm or a lizard cutting off its tail;

This is nothing but the cowardice of not daring to face the blade beasts, and the despicable act of wanting to use the blade beasts to suppress the other forces in the human camp.

"These guys really deserve to die."

Mudan was secretly sulking.

She glanced at the stone slab that was still absorbing spiritual energy from the air, calculating the time it would take for her commander to enter it, and felt a little worried.

"Well, if Commander Ling Tong comes, then we can try to call him."

Mudan made up her mind.

However, she waited until the next morning, but Lingtong still didn't come over.

Lingtong is not the clingy type. She fully trusts her partner and respects his freedom, especially since Wang Jixuan has many secrets.

Near noon, there was finally movement on the stone slab.

Mudan saw two figures jumping out and hurried forward to greet them, catching the war puppet that Wang Jixuan was holding with both hands.

"Sir... eh?"

Mudan blinked and looked at Taoist Wang intently.

The Taoist priest is indeed in a different state now.

He had just broken through the minor realm. His skin glowed with a fairy light, his eyes were sharp, and his whole body exuded an aura that was hard to conceal. His eyes were deep and dark, and a faint light flickered in the darkness.

"Hmm?" Wang Jixuan asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"

"Nothing, I just feel something is different about the sir."

"My breath is still unstable after the breakthrough," Taoist Wang performed two methods to conceal his breath.

Mudan lowered her head and helped the war puppet to the corner, and began to report a series of events that happened there.

"The Great Retreat of the Psychic City?"

Wang Jixuan was slightly puzzled:
"Are they just going to give up D2 and D3? They have worked hard for decades, spent so much manpower and resources, and now they are just throwing them away?"

"Yes," Mudan said with a smile, "They should want to avoid the sharp edge, preserve their manpower, and then rely on the blade beast to kill D5."

Wang Jixuan sneered: "They should be sure that the Pillar Blade Beast will wake up."

"And they are certain that the Pillar Saber Beasts will attack the integrated battle zone."

"That's fine," Wang Jixuan shook his head, "They are a bunch of cowards, it's good that they give in."

Mudan said: "The senior officials of the D3 integrated war zone rushed here overnight. Commander-in-Chief Fu Jian is receiving them. However, they were treated very poorly. The commander-in-chief only gave them two Heyuan Pills."

"Yes, the treatment is clearly divided into high and low levels. This saves me some trouble."

The Taoist priest stretched lazily, scanned everywhere with his spiritual sense, patrolled inside and outside the fortress, and prepared to go back to find Lingtong.

Meanwhile, he was busy healing No.5's injuries, and received a gift in return from No.5, which led to a direct breakthrough to a small realm. Even his most important plan - true dual cultivation - was delayed.

This is not good;

We have to make up for it quickly!

"I'll take a break first," Wang Jixuan said, "In the classroom, let them study hard with the monitor and the study committee member."

"Hey!"

Mudan stopped Wang Jixuan who was about to jump out of the window and said quickly:

"Auntie Dragonfly has something to discuss with you. She's on her way and will be here in two minutes."

"Okay then, I'll wait for her for a while."

"Hmph," a light snort came from the stone slab. Spiritual practitioner No. 5, who had short blond hair and was about 1.4 meters tall, jumped out from the stone slab and put the stone slab into his bracelet.

She was surrounded by stars;

That was the aura dancing for her.

Number Five was a little indignant: "You ran out without even saying hello, you are so polite!"

"I see you are still practicing, so I'm sorry to bother you," Wang Jixuan asked with a smile, "How is your strength recovering?"

"About 20 percent," No. 5 raised his face, "Now, even if those three old guys come directly at me, I can still protect you."

Taoist Wang gave a thumbs up: "Great!"

He then asked, "What if a pillar-level blade beast attacks us?"

"I should be able to help you escape," Number Five admitted decisively, "My subspace, as well as the subspace left by old Sophie, can help you escape."

The Taoist nodded and asked again: "Can you reactivate the dormant circuit now?"

"The conditions for activating the sleeping circuit are very harsh, and there is a cooling time. It wears out every time it is used. There is also a limit on the number of times it can be activated at the same time. Otherwise, we would have put these guys to sleep long ago."

When it comes to matters of life and death, No. 5 also answers very seriously:

"If the six of us work together, we can strengthen the circuit... I can now feel that a pillar-level blade beast is indeed on the verge of awakening."

"Is there any other way to prevent it from waking up?"

"I don't have that, but you can ask Xiao Hua Ting," Number Five said directly, "She might have some surprises."

"I leave this to you, Peony!"

"Yes, I'll ask later."

Number Five reminded: "It's best if you go by yourself."

"That'll have to wait until I'm done with my work," Wang Jixuan slumped on the sofa, crossed his legs, and calculated the time it would take him to reach the Jindan and Yuanying realms.

It would take him at least three months to prepare for the Golden Core Breakthrough;

This is already a case of forcing one's way forward without regard for the weakness of one's Taoist foundation.

As for the Nascent Soul...it takes a long time for the Golden Core to evolve into the Nascent Soul...

The Taoist priest looked up at his war puppet and began to think about how to significantly enhance its strength.

Just as I was thinking about this, Mai Qingting flew directly into the seventh floor, with the thin wings behind it vibrating at high speed, and rushed over here in a hurry.

Auntie hasn't arrived yet...

"Wang Zheng!"

Auntie Dragonfly gasped, rushed into the window clutching a communicator, and shouted directly: "My teacher wants to communicate with you!"

"Then let it go, don't get excited."

"She is in the spaceship of the three spiritual practitioners under the Psychic City! The spiritual practitioners must want to see you!"

Wang Jixuan turned his head and looked at No. 5.

Number Five answered seriously: "I didn't betray you. I wish I could enjoy your healing ability all to myself."

"Please reply for me," Wang Jixuan shook his head. "I have a partner now and don't want to contact other spiritual practitioners. If you have any questions, you can negotiate with my spokesperson in the spiritual civilization first."

After saying this, Wang Jixuan put his hands in his pockets, walked briskly down the stairs, and left.

Aunt Dragonfly was stunned.

Number Five hadn't reacted yet.

"Spokesperson? Who?"
