Fire Monster

Chapter 343 Invincible Defense
"I never thought that the Mechanical Talisman would become my greatest advantage."

Zhao Guanshan still did not exit the statue space, but continued to stare at the statue of the female immortal and continue to ponder, but this time he was not using the Lushan Claw.

He wants to add some.

Although all the previous fire of wisdom had been consumed, with the number of newly added mechanical martial artists in Linjiang Prefecture and Zhenhai City, especially in Zhenhai City, the government was the leader and they worked hard for 300 days, concentrating all their efforts on promoting the research and promotion of mechanical talismans.

This attitude and atmosphere towards the mechanical industrial revolution cannot be matched by Linjiang Prefecture in any way.

To put it in an analogy, Zhenhai City is already equivalent to a certain Eastern country in 2025, and Linjiang Prefecture is at best Vietnam...

When Zhao Guanshan left the mechanical talisman, he didn't have to worry about the rest.

Look, in just a few days, the fire of wisdom generated by the mechanical talisman once again filled the statue space.

During this period, Zhao Guanshan never went out. He was either looking at the female fairy with lustful eyes, or looking at the next person with lustful eyes.

Well, actually, he was not that despicable, but the dimensionality reduction attack on the woman in Tianlong Taoist Palace sounded the alarm for him. He was really worried that the remaining three competitors would try to steal his home in the style of Laoliu. Earthlings don’t fight against Earthlings?
Haha, no one knows the cunning and insidiousness of the people on Earth better than him.

Even if the female fairy appeared several times to explain the matter to him and reassure him, he still felt uneasy.

He couldn't even take care of his cultivation.

"What's the point of you standing guard like this? If the other three want to challenge you to a duel, you won't be able to help. You won't be the one who makes the final decision."

Occasionally, the female fairy would make a few sarcastic remarks.

Zhao Guanshan simply ignored it.

Finally, when the fire of wisdom was fully stored, he took the lead without saying a word and used all the fire of wisdom to light up the fourth rune branch.

That is to say, the inner compatibility between a martial artist who masters the mechanical talisman and the mechanical body that resonates with him increases.

Lighting up once increases the fit by 1%.

The increased degree of compatibility will further boost the strength of the mechanical warrior, thus forming a virtuous circle.

In this way, Zhao Guanshan had been staring at the statue space for six full months. Anyway, he had made up his mind that he would not leave unless the evil god came to provoke him.

And these six months were indeed a time when Zhenhai City's research on mechanical talismans was booming. All kinds of insights, experiences, theories, practices, and even related subjects were booming. Then, Zhenhai City finally succeeded in applying the resonance of mechanical talismans to their most advanced warships.

This super battleship is said to be made of high-level material of Destiny 2080 and uses two seventh-level spirit supply towers to supply spiritual energy. It can be said to be the culmination of the knowledge of Zhenhai Dao Palace over the past hundreds or thousands of years!

When it was successfully resonated and applied by the Mechanical Taoist Talisman, it meant that at least 70% of the knowledge of the Zhenhai Taoist Palace was contained in the Lihuo Taoist Talisman.

The fire of wisdom that was formed was like a volcanic eruption.

"With so much energy, we should take this opportunity to swallow up another competitor and seize another immortal soul!"

The female immortal was excited, but she didn't know that the one Zhao Guanshan was really guarding against was her!

Let women be the boss, huh?

There is no way to live like this.

Almost every time a part of the fire of wisdom was produced, Zhao Guanshan would use his maximum authority to invest all of it into the fourth rune branch. The first three branches were ignored, not because they were not important.

But when Zhao Guanshan realized that he still had three competitors, and these three people were not only fellow Earthlings, they also owned huge Taoist palaces such as Fuyun Taoist Palace, Cangwu Taoist Palace, and Tianlong Taoist Palace. With such powerful backers, how could he compete?
So it is better to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses.

With his crazy additions and additions, and with the crazy replenishment of the ocean of knowledge in Zhenhaidao Palace.

Zhao Guanshan actually lit up the fourth rune branch as many as fifteen times in one breath.

In other words, it is a mechanical warrior, and the internal compatibility with the mechanical body that resonates with it reaches 15%.

It still doesn't sound like much, and even for those mechanical martial artists, such as Yang Mao, Wang Chen, and outstanding mechanical martial artists like Qin Tu, at most their comprehensive combat effectiveness can be doubled. At best, if they reach the extreme in every aspect, use the best materials, and the best mechanical body, then they may be able to obtain twice the combat effectiveness.

To be specific, Yang Mao and Wang Chen were previously equivalent to sixth-level Qi Refiners, but now they are probably quasi-seventh-level Qi Refiners.

I'll just die of fullness.

But, but, that’s because they were not Qi Refiners to begin with.

If you are already a Qi Refiner, especially one above level five, then it is almost like obtaining a magical weapon that is your own.

But this is just an ordinary Qi Refiner.

But what about Zhao Guanshan? He is the biggest beneficiary.

Before, when the fourth rune branch was lit up to 1%, he transformed into a golden-armored giant and was able to fight on equal terms with the real body of the fallen immortal on the opposite side.

It’s 15 percent now, so it’s not too much to have a quick kill.

So now, even the female fairy is silent.

What's interesting is that Lihuo is her power and the Taoist tradition she left behind, but now after adding the mechanical Taoist talisman, she feels unfamiliar with it. How should I put it? It seems that the powerful thing about Bai Yueguang is that even if she comes, she can't do anything about it.

Now, she should be quite conflicted.

Of course, there's no point in worrying about it, as she has no say in the matter.

After the degree of compatibility reached 15%, the increase in the amount of the fire of wisdom began to decline, which also proved that the ocean of knowledge in the Zhenhai Palace had been drained.

Only then did Zhao Guanshan exit the statue space with satisfaction. The moment he returned to reality, he heard the Lihuo Immortal statue gasping...

Well, it was vibration and resonance. He could even sense the high-pressure spiritual energy flowing inside the statue of the Fire Immortal, which covered the entire Zhenhai City within a radius of 300 kilometers.

The compatibility is 15 percent. Plus, this book was grafted from his statue, and with all kinds of BUFFs, in one word, awesome!

"Are you satisfied now?"

The angry voice of the female fairy sounded in his ears. Zhao Guanshan smiled slightly. She had already said it. It was useless for her to worry about it. If you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. Oh, it was grafting!

This statue of the Lihuo Immortal is in perfect resonance and symbiosis with her immortal soul, which is equivalent to one being the body and the other being the soul, thus achieving resurrection in this sense.

"But I did save you, didn't I? I kept my word, and you repaid me with your love. I think this will be a great story."

"Don't brag for now. Whether you admit it or not, your current achievements and strength are all brought to you by Linjiang Prefecture and more than 10 million mortals in Zhenhai City. Think about how this will end. What is the difference between what you are doing now and the destiny disguised by those fallen immortals?"

"I am warning you, Zhao Chengfeng. You can rely on the Mechanical Dao Talisman to kill the Fallen Immortal today and obtain the qualification to jump out of the Ring of Destiny. Believe it or not, one day, based on Zhenhai City and Linjiang Prefecture, a mechanical cultivation world with Mechanical Dao Talisman as the main school will evolve. Then, there will definitely be unparalleled talents who will step on your shoulders today, with more amazing talents than you, with higher and more outstanding understanding and potential than you, to carry forward the Mechanical Immortal Cultivation School, and thus a Mechanical Immortal Palace will definitely be established outside the ring in the future."

"Then, congratulations, by then you will witness with your own eyes what it means to see him entertain guests, see him build a tall building, and see it collapse. Do you really think that karma's pursuit is a joke?"

"Hehe, thank you for your reminder, but if I don't do this, I won't even have the chance to transcend the tribulation and ascend. As I said before, I just want to build an external safe environment for my normal practice, that's all."

"Besides, I don't think I'm invincible. I'm only invincible on defense now. Because of what you said, I can no longer move your statue. So, as long as I leave the range of a thousand miles around the statue, I will be immediately beaten back to my original form. Overcoming the tribulation and ascending to heaven, jumping out of the ring of destiny, you're overthinking it. I can't ascend with your statue."

Zhao Guanshan is quite clear about this.

"I'm relieved that you can have such an understanding, because I really don't have more memories, and I can't point you a way. I just hope you don't go astray."

"Next, you can go and practice. I will take over the Lihuo statue for the time being."

Zhao Guanshan nodded. He absolutely believed this because they were really in the same boat.

As long as we can avoid being defeated by the other three competitors, the rest of the things will not be a problem at all.

Just as Zhao Guanshan was preparing for a ten-year retreat for cultivation, a woman with a gloomy look walked out of the Tianlong Taoist Palace's stronghold in the spiritual world.

Then, all the witchers who saw her were extremely respectful, simply because she was the fifth headmaster of the Tianlong Taoist Palace.

Chu Qiulan, a former celebrity, was once known as the number one fairy in Tianlong Taoist Palace and had outshone everyone for three hundred years.

But she has been in a bad mood recently and it is said that she had a big fight with some of her close female friends.

Among her four confidantes, one is even about to be promoted to the ninth-level Qi Refiner.

As a result, one of them called her a bitch in public, one broke off their friendship, one said nothing, sailed out to sea, and was never seen alive or dead. The last one treated her sincerely and never left her.

At this moment, Chu Qiulan came to the spiritual world and went straight to the Fuyun Taoist Palace's stronghold in the spiritual world.

It is said that over the years, under the command of several great immortals, especially the immortal Mei Xun, the situation in the spirit world has not improved much, but the three major Taoist palaces of Fuyun, Cangwu and Tianlong have really been connected. Within the range of their three major strongholds, they killed the spirits and demons and made them flee in panic, and recovered several Skull Mountains.

So Chu Qiulan dared to go on the road alone.

A few days later, Chu Qiulan met a man in the spiritual world stronghold of Fuyun Taoist Palace.

The man was no more than thirty years old, tall, and had an extraordinary appearance. What was rare was his calm temperament and a rare cynicism. After all, in this era, ordinary people's cynicism could be said to be unaware of the seriousness of the situation. For a high-level Qi Refiner to be cynical, it was either because of his nature, or because he was extremely confident.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, why are you so anxious to see me?"

The man smiled and spoke.

"You know why I'm here. My Lihuo secret key has been stolen! We agreed before that since we are fellow villagers, you should help each other and at least not stab me in the back!" Chu Qiulan's face was gloomy, and he was almost gritting his teeth.

"So you suspect it's one of the three of us?"

"Isn't it? Who else could it be except you three!?"

"Haha, you don't even understand the situation. What's the point of coming to see me? Go back and be careful on the road. You no longer have the Fire Key. It's like a pig's foot that has lost its grandfather. From now on, you should be careful in what you say and do, and maybe you can have a good ending. Really, this is my last advice to you as a fellow villager."

After the man finished speaking, he walked away. However, the moment he turned around, his brows slightly frowned. Another fellow villager who doesn't follow the rules is here?

He is really a dragon crossing the river.
