Doomsday Sequence Caravan: I Have a Mechanical Heart

Qiu Ling and Qiu Lei didn't have many supplies; including clothes, they only filled two backpacks. Each carried one, and tearfully said goodbye to Yun He.

Su Mu also gave up the idea of ​​continuing to wander around here, but even just Qiu Ling was a considerable gain.

"Alright, alright." Yunhe was also quite reluctant to part with the two little ones, but he still smiled and comforted them, "When you grow up, remember to come back and see me."

"Yes." Qiu Ling nodded vigorously. "Grandpa, when I grow up, I will definitely come to see you with my brother."

"Okay, okay." Yunhe smiled and agreed, tears welling in her eyes. "It's getting late, let's go."

"Then we'll be going." Su Mu and the other person clasped their fists in greeting to Yunhe.

"Let's go." Yunhe nodded.

"Goodbye, Grandpa." Qiu Ling and Qiu Lei followed Su Mu and the other man, turning back to look at each other every few steps as they left.

Yunhe arrived at the village street, arms crossed, watching the departing Su Mu and his companions with a wistful expression. Only after they disappeared from sight did he let out a deep sigh, then flew towards the Taoist temple atop the distant mountain. A melodious song rang out.

"Though my body dwells amidst the floating clouds, my heart shines like the bright moon; rivers eventually flow into the sea, and a single spark can start a prairie fire."

"Green hills bury proud bones, the vast sea wanders the immortal soul; in the primordial chaos, there was no self, only a boundless expanse between heaven and earth!!"

Su Mu, who had been walking away, stopped and looked back at Yunhe. A solemn look flashed in his eyes. He never expected that there would still be cultivators in this world who possessed a strong sense of righteousness!

more than an hour later

They arrived at the beach on the north side.

Su Mu put Qiu Lei and Qiu Ling down. "This is our boat, get on."

"Okay," Qiu Ling replied, holding Qiu Lei's little hand tightly. She was a bit better, more mature than others, and her expression was calmer. But Qiu Lei was only four or five years old, and his eyes were full of tension. He held Qiu Ling's hand tightly, afraid of being left behind.

As they stepped onto the platform, before even entering the cabin, Ling Hao approached them, giving Qiu Ling and Qiu Lei a surprised look before asking, "Su Mu, what's going on with you two?"

"Let's go inside and I'll explain in detail." Su Mu rolled his eyes at him, knowing what he was about to say.

A moment later, the group arrived at Ling Hao's room. Su Mu told Ling Hao about Qiu Ling and her brother, and then added, "This little girl is also a Transcendent."

"And it's also about understanding the sequence of human nature."

"What???" Ling Hao's voice rose several decibels upon hearing this. His gaze towards Qiu Ling was now filled with fervor.

"Stop." Su Mu saw through Ling Hao's thoughts. "Qiu Ling and Qiu Lei, come with me."

"Don't even think about it."

"Alright then." Ling Hao smacked his lips, wanting to say something but ultimately remaining silent, nodding somewhat helplessly. "However, if you don't want to bring it, remember to give it to me."

"Okay." Su Mu nodded in agreement, seeing the expectant look on his face. But in his heart, he thought, "Then you can look forward to it."

He stood up and walked outside. "I'll go arrange accommodations for the two of them first."

"I'll go repair the hull later."

After lunch, they left the island and followed the safe route into the deep sea, continuing their journey eastward.

Su Mu sat cross-legged on the bed, holding the book "Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao" in his hand, reading it intently.

An Xin leaned on his shoulder and watched along with him.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, but they had only read a few pages.

"The content here is too profound," An Xin shook her head in frustration. "I can't understand it at all."

"It's alright, if you're tired," Su Mu said softly, glancing at her. "Just rest first."

"I'll watch for a while longer."

"I'll teach you once I've learned it."

"Okay," An Xin replied, and lay down next to Su Mu to rest.

Although Su Mu read slowly, he understood it.

This Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao demonstrates the method of circulating energy throughout the body using spiritual power. Although he wields the power of the Mechanical Heart, the principle is the same.

As long as he can channel that power through the meridians throughout his body, he can strengthen himself and increase his physical strength.

After memorizing the locations of those meridians, he began to try to guide the power of the mechanical heart to circulate within his body.

It was very difficult to understand at first, and it would frequently get blocked.

But after more than ten attempts, he finally completed a meridian circulation. Afterwards, he felt his body was a little stronger, and the energy of the Mechanical Heart was also used more smoothly.

He was overjoyed. "It actually works! I wonder how much my strength will improve after all my meridians have been cleansed."

Just as he was about to close his eyes and continue his cultivation, a strange power suddenly erupted from the mechanical heart within his chest. Immediately afterward, the color of the mechanical heart began to change.

The color rapidly shifted from red to gold, and mysterious starry river and cloud patterns began to appear on the surface of the mechanical heart. It emitted a hazy, deep blue light, yet possessed an extremely dazzling and subtle quality.

"This?" Su Mu stared blankly at the Mechanical Heart, not understanding why there was such a sudden change.

After the starry river and cloud patterns were fully formed, he felt a buzzing sound in his mind, and the next moment his consciousness was pulled to the center of a mysterious starry river.

Su Mu looked around blankly and found nine vast star rivers around him, each containing countless dazzling stars that were slowly revolving around him.

An ancient and ethereal aura wafted over, causing him to catch his breath.

The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his consciousness returned to reality.

He slowly exhaled, calming the turmoil in his heart, and murmured, "What just happened? How could a galaxy appear?"

As he spoke, he sensed the mechanical heart again and found that it was beating more strongly than before, and his blood was gradually turning golden red.

Immediately afterwards, the dragon soul that had been flying beside the Mechanical Heart seemed to be suppressed. It no longer dared to absorb the energy of the Mechanical Heart, but instead circulated within its body and finally stopped at the center of its brow, curling into a golden dragon pattern.

Then it disappeared again.

Su Mu sat there, his brows furrowed, unable to understand why his mere cultivation of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao had triggered such a strong reaction from the Mechanical Heart.

He's even a little afraid to continue cultivating now, for fear that something unexpected might happen.

After some deliberation, he decided to try again. If it caused an anomaly in the Mechanical Heart, he decided to stop practicing this technique.

He quickly activated the mechanical heart's energy flow through that meridian again. After waiting quietly for a while and seeing that the mechanical heart no longer reacted, he felt relieved and continued his cultivation.

Time flew by, and it was already evening.

Su Mu opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them.

After an afternoon of training, his physical strength increased significantly, reaching sixty times that of an ordinary person.
