I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 310 A Thousand Machines Across the Universe (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

During the descent, each of them used their unique abilities, and although it was thrilling, they all landed safely.

Before they could even see their surroundings, the massive body of the dragon-spine centipede crashed into the center of the group. Mo Liao was too close and was knocked to the ground by the shockwave. The centipede turned its head and used its giant mandibles to bite the back of his neck.

At the critical moment, a streak of azure light pierced through the air, and Jiang Yi's green vine whip struck the giant jaws of the dragon-spine centipede with pinpoint accuracy. The puppet felt no pain, but it was deflected three inches and missed its bite.

Mo Liao seized the opportunity to roll away from the dragon-spine centipede.

As gravel flew, the golden-eyed stone lion burst from the ground, instantly teleporting onto the back of the dragon-spine centipede using Sand Shadow Escape, its claws plunging fiercely into the cracks in the centipede's carapace.

Hongli retreated to Jiang Yi's side to observe the situation, while Baozhu also came running over, panting. Ever since Shen Puning learned the Kun Emperor's "Nine Mountains Collapsing Heaven Fist," she liked to personally take to the field to test her own fist techniques.

Shen Puning charged forward rapidly, his fist carrying the force of a mountain as it slammed into the monster's abdomen, but with a muffled clang, the carapace remained completely intact!

"This centipede's carapace is made of Golden Core level material; ordinary things can't penetrate it!"

Mo Ling pushed aside the rubble that was pressing down on her and got up, calling out to remind everyone.

However, the next moment, Xin Wushuang's arrow left the bowstring, and three golden rays shot towards the abdomen in a triangular pattern. After a few muffled sounds, the arrows all broke through the armor and penetrated more than three inches deep.

As the Shang Dynasty flute rang out suddenly, the swarm of insects coalesced into chains, binding the centipede's three pairs of legs, causing the monster's charge to veer off course.

Brownish-brown battle marks crept up Shen Puning’s neck and cheeks as he unleashed the Nine Peaks Collapsing Heaven Fist.

Shen Puning threw a punch, and her fist suddenly burst out with a dazzling yellow light, as if nine mountains appeared as phantoms under her fist, and the power to suppress everything exploded!

boom!
The void twisted, and waves of air surged like a tide.

Before the force of the punch even arrived, the centipede's abdominal carapace had already begun to crack inch by inch. When the fleshy fist slammed solidly into the centipede's abdomen, the carapace could no longer hold on and exploded like paper, sending fragments flying everywhere.

The centipede's ten-zhang-long body was struck as if by lightning, and it flew backward with a bang, crashing through the rock wall and finally embedding itself in the mountain a hundred zhang away, its hundred legs twitching.

Shen Puning's punch caused Shang Shixu's flute to tremble and go off-key. Mo Liao opened his eyes in shock, and Mo Ling also showed an incredulous look.

However, the dragon-spine centipede did not completely lose its ability to move. Even though it was almost cut in half at the waist by a punch, its upper and lower body and hundreds of legs were still twisting as the mechanism and gears turned.

After observing for a moment, Duan Jin exclaimed, "Its core is under the third carapace on its abdomen."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xin Wushuang's arrow, enveloped in golden light, precisely pierced the gap in the third armor plate, its fletching humming and vibrating.

Click!

The puppet's core exploded under the impact of the arrow, the centipede's body suddenly stiffened, its hundreds of legs drooped down like broken strings, and the metallic luster of its sword spine shell faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Duan Jin immediately went over to check on the condition of the dragon spine centipede. After confirming that the centipede would not move again, she turned to look at Jiang Yi.

"My lord, may I..."

Duan Jin wanted to take the Dragon Spine Centipede back for research, but Jiang Yi didn't agree immediately. Instead, she looked at Shen Puning and the others, since she hadn't even made a move yet, so how could she accept the spoils of war?

“I’ll trade you something else,” Jiang Yi said.

嘤~
Hongli looked up and shouted, "It can also pay to buy it! Fox is rich now!"
Shen Puning, Xin Wushuang, and Shang Shixu didn't care about this and nodded in unison. As for what to exchange, they would talk about it later.

Duan Jin smiled broadly and thanked the three people in turn. Jiang Yi went over to help her send the dragon spine centipede into Youxian Ferry.

Mo Ling and Mo Liao, both covered in injuries, stood by watching Jiang Yi and the others. Mo Liao couldn't help but say, "They're all so strong, especially that fat one... that Shen Puning, is she born with superhuman strength?"

Mo Ling turned to look at her younger brother, "Now you know what it means to be out in the dark, right? From now on, when you're out and about, talk less, observe more, and plan before you act!"

With the crisis over, everyone finally had time to look around and see where they had fallen.

Several beams of light flashed like sparks, instantly illuminating this underground space.

"Wow~~ How spectacular!" Shen Puning looked up and scanned the scene, her face full of surprise.

The surrounding rock walls resembled giant towers, with layers of staircases spiraling upwards, each step inlaid with a different type of bronze door, black iron door, jade door, stone door...

The materials vary and the patterns are different. Some doors are covered with celestial runes, while others are decorated with reliefs of interlocking gears.

These doors are not static; rather, they rotate slowly along a mysterious trajectory, driven by the internal mechanisms of the mountain!
Click…click…click…

The deep, grinding sound of gears coming from underground made the entire space tremble and breathe as if it were alive.

The bronze gate high above slid horizontally, intersecting with a black iron gate. Below, the jade gate floated like a moon, casting a shimmering halo on the stone steps. There was also a massive red copper gate covered with spikes, like the blazing sun overhead, which crashed down on the dome, sending sparks flying.

"The sun and moon revolve, the stars shift..."

Duan Jin's golden eyes shone brightly as his stone hand touched the rock wall beside him, feeling the surging metallic spiritual energy within. "This is no ordinary mechanism; it is the 'Thousand Machines Universe,' crafted by the Heavenly Craftsmen in imitation of the Zhou Tian Star Array."

Mo Liao's pupils flickered as he asked Mo Ling beside him, "Is this the secret that the Heavenly Craftsmen left behind deep within this labyrinth? What lies behind these doors?"

“There is a stone tablet here.”

Shang Shixu spoke up to remind everyone, and he squatted down under the stone tablet, softly reading the words on it.

"Choose a door to enter, and whether you gain or lose fortune depends entirely on fate."

"Blessings...and losses?" Shen Puning asked in surprise, "There will be losses after entering? Will there be misfortunes? Why does the Heavenly Craft Sect seem like a charlatan sect? What do you think, Wushuang?"

Xin Wushuang thought about it seriously, "I won't go in."

Shen Puning put her hands on her hips and said, "I want to go in and take a look. What if I find something amazing?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi laughed and said, "That's what all gamblers who lose everything think at first."

"Aren't you going in, Ayi?"

"No, I want to be a happy gambling addict!"

Shen Puning and Jiang Yi exchanged a glance and then grinned slyly.

Whoosh!

Hua Gu rushed down from above like a cannonball, knocking Jiang Yi off balance, making him tremble with grievance.

"Okay, okay, we didn't leave you on purpose, you just suddenly fell down."

Having calmed Hua Gu down, it was time to make a choice.

Although everything in the Jianbingtai Secret Realm should belong to the Mo family, since the family head allowed Jiang Yi and the others to enter, Mo Ling and Mo Liao had no right to stop them from acquiring the things here.

Besides, it was Jiang Yi and the others who saved the siblings just now.

Xin Wushuang was persuaded by Shen Puning and decided to choose a door to go through. Shang Shixu was also curious about what was behind the door, so he first released a group of insects to explore each door one by one to see what secrets it held.

"Come on, everyone, come out."

Jiang Yi released the Zhenshan and Yaoling swords, which were still in Youxian Ferry, and had them stand in a row in front of her along with Hua Gu and Hong Li.

As soon as Yao Lingjian appeared, he was furious. He ran to the front of the line and squeezed Hua Gu aside, insisting on being the first one.

Hongli bared her teeth and brandished her claws in anger, but Huagu grabbed her tail and pulled her back, telling Hongli to let it go.

Zhenshan also looked displeased. Duanjin glanced at him, and the stone lion warrior, who was as tall as an iron tower, immediately lowered his head, looking dejected.

Jiang Yi clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention, "We only said to choose a door to enter, not that it has to be a person who chooses it, so you all have a chance. Don't fight or scramble, just choose the door you like."

"Hua Gu, bring everyone the photo stones and storage bags. Once inside, move everything you can carry. If you can't move it, try to move it. If you still can't move it, check if there are any words or pictures on it. If there are words or pictures, take a photo. If there are no words or pictures, just leave it."

Mo Ling:? ? ?
Mo Liao: !!!
"Sister, she's so clever! Let's use puppets to select more doors too!"

Mo Ling rolled her eyes mercilessly, "Do your puppets have intelligence?"

"Oh no...then we've suffered a huge loss!"

Shen Puning and Xin Wushuang followed suit, giving Baozhu and Wanli storage bags and recording stones, and letting them each choose a door.

"It seems we need to put raising more demon spirits on the agenda." Shen Puning looked at Jiang Yi's many subordinates with envy.

Hum!

Baozhu bumped her head into Shen Puning's leg, jumping up and down while whimpering.

Shang Shixu wanted to laugh, but he suppressed his smile to maintain his refined persona. However, he secretly released a few of the Silver Mist Insects given to him by Longri Zhenjun, preparing to see if the Silver Mist Insects could also open a door on their own.

"set off!"

At Jiang Yi's command, all the demons, birds, and beasts scattered. The Heart-Piercing Mirror in Jiang Yi's bosom trembled, and she realized that she had forgotten about it.

"Duan Jin, take the Heart-Piercing Mirror with you."

Jiang Yi had a gut feeling that Duan Jin might have a crucial gain here, and with Duan Jin by her side, Zhu Xin Jian could also help her record and analyze.
