Chapter 289: The First Test Explosion
The battle had just ended.
Ma Huaizhen sat upright in his wheelchair and calmly scanned the group, including Gongsun Bingzi.
"So, are you all suggesting we give it a try?" he asked.
The wind and snow blew fiercely ahead, freezing the blood on the ground. A group of cultivators were busy clearing the battlefield. Meanwhile, the leaders of the cultivation alliance were having a meeting.
The Cen family, the Lu family, Cloud Mist Fairy Mansion, Qingyang Academy, and Chongde Ancient Garden...
Qiao Wan knew that this matter needed to be discussed by everyone.
In another world.
This concept was not unfamiliar to the cultivators, especially to the disciples of the Buddhist sect. However, no one had ever been there, and no one had seen anyone come back after ascending.
After ascending, would they arrive in another world? This was an unsolved mystery.
Cen Zicheng doubted this, furrowing his brows. "But we can't be sure if this is another trick from the demon realm."
"In any case, we have to try," Ma Huaizhen, another man, said in a serious tone. "Given the current situation, we won't last much longer without trying."
His words hit the minds of everyone present, and Cen Zicheng's face turned pale for a moment.
They had just lost the previous battle.
The people below still held onto the hope that they would eventually win a battle, but those in higher positions knew the truth in their hearts.
As the attacks from the demon realm intensified, the cultivator alliance was becoming worn out. Now, the demon realm has divided its forces into three paths and is determined to conquer the Dragon Stone Path, bringing destruction to the world of cultivation.
Although what Ma Huaizhen said was not polite, it was indeed the truth.
Without trying, they wouldn't be able to hold on much longer. If they tried, it could either open up a new path or accelerate their demise.
In the end, they were bound to lose, so they might as well give it their all.
However, Ma Huaizhen had no intention of completely copying the civilization of the world that Qiao Wan mentioned.
Looking at the blood-colored horizon, Ma Huaizhen's eyes were deep.
When people arrive in a new place, they often struggle to adapt, let alone when trying to bring things from a different world.
If they were to blindly copy everything, chaos would ensue, and that would truly lead to their downfall.
Unfortunately, among these people, there was one who didn't think this way.
Lu Pihan sat below with his head lowered, coughing softly. The lowered eyelashes blocked the fire that blazed in his eyes.
The systems of another world...
This system is enough to overturn the stagnation in the cultivation world today.
Ma Huaizhen is sophisticated and smooth. Although he has a good relationship with Ma Huaizhen, Lu Pihan has a touch of romanticism.
Although born into the Lu family, only Lu Pihan knows how disgusted he is with this world.
Communism.
The man couldn't help but cough violently again.
This belief landed in his heart and immediately began to take root and sprout.
At this chaotic time, it's a great opportunity for change. He is willing to sacrifice everything for this beautiful world he envisions.
Gongsun Bingzi paused briefly and echoed, "Let's start with a trial at Qi Feidao's place."
Unconsciously, the high-ranking figures in the cultivation world have mastered the special skill of "trial testing."
After the meeting, Ma Huaizhen briefly communicated with Qi Feidao and gave him specific instructions.
"No matter what method you use, you must, must win over the current Qiao Wan."
The most important thing is to rebuild the connection between Qiao Wan and the world of cultivation.
At the moment, Qiao Wan doesn't really have a stance. Her feelings towards the demon realm and the world of cultivation are not that different. If the demon realm takes the lead...
Qi Feidao : Roger that. What specific methods can we use?
Ma Huaizhen : Figure it out on your own.
Qi Feidao , teasingly: How about the leader tries to seduce her?
Ma Huaizhen , calmly replies with six words: Feeling bold? Ready to die?
In truth, if we can truly win over Qiao Wan , it's not impossible for Ma Huaizhen to abandon his principles and seduce her willingly. (Wait a moment...)
Now, let's focus on Qiao Wan's side.
Creating an illusion immediately isn't an easy task, even for Elder Martial Brother Qi Feidao from the Mathematics Department.
Regarding this, Qi Feidao specifically called the younger martial sisters from the Mathematics Department to work on researching the feasibility of "holographic training" and "spirit power cannonballs" as mentioned by Qiao Wan . They even turned the notice into an air raid warning.
In a world, there was something called "firearm", but it had never been used in battles before. Qiao Wan had been thinking that the presence of cultivators and spiritual power actually hindered the progress and development of technology in this world. After all, with the cheat of spiritual power and cultivators, who would choose to pursue technological advancements?
Humans, who couldn't fly, dreamed of flying and thus created various flying tools to overcome their limitations. However, cultivators didn't need airplanes.
The disciples from the Mathematics Department in the Confucian sect had sensed that something was wrong, but they couldn't pinpoint what it was. They could only explore the mysteries from outside the door, unable to enter the realm.
Until... Qiao Wan appeared.
The big question that Qi Feidao and others had been pondering was how to combine firearms and spiritual power.
"Water."
Qiao Wan placed a glass of water in front of Qi Feidao and the others, and then sat down.
One of the young people looked up and smiled, saying, "Taoist Friend Qiao, you're here."
Qiao Wan knew this person. His name was Fu Xuan, and he had been working for Qi Feidao in Chongde Ancient Garden since they started fighting. After the war broke out, he began defending the city with Qi Feidao.
Watching the abacus beads clicking and clacking in front of her, Qiao Wan couldn't help but be amazed every time she looked at them.
This warm scene really reminded her of the hardworking and simple people of the Heavenly Kingdom.
When there was no war, Qiao Wan would find some free time and write down mathematical formulas and symbols. She would then teach them to the disciples of the Mathematics Department. Together with the disciples from Ma Huaizhen's side of the Mathematics Department, they worked hard to develop a special version of hot weapons for the cultivation world.
"Oh," Qiao Wan exclaimed, as she caught sight of the cup of tea in front of her. Qi Feidao, with his twinkling eyes and a beaming smile, looked especially charming. There was even a hint of... enchantment? With his scruffy beard, he had a rather carefree and flirtatious aura.
Qiao Wan blinked, unsure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Taoist Friend Qi seemed... cleaner somehow, and his smile had a mysterious charm that was hard to resist. Especially when he looked at her, his eyes curved like crescent moons, radiating pure joy.
Qiao Wan wasn't foolish, and she could sense that something was off.
To put it bluntly... his smile was quite dashing, like a peacock spreading its feathers.
And when she met the young man's playful smile, Qiao Wan's mouth twitched.
So, why was Taoist Friend Qi captivating her with his peacock-like charm?
Suddenly, she felt overwhelmed by the pressure.
Not only Qi Feidao, but also those young boys and girls, they treated her like a warm spring breeze, like bright sunshine. They spoke to her gently, regardless of gender. Whenever they saw her, they would give her a flirtatious glance.
Confused Qiu Ergou and Deng Saner, who was still half-asleep, looked at each other in bewilderment.
Qiu Ergou, with the thought of "Even though I don't know what's going on, I'll still follow along," gave a flirtatious glance to Qiao Wan.
Qiao Wan, who strangely enjoyed being the center of attention, was puzzled: (д)?
She felt like she had mistakenly wandered into a group of enchanting fairies. The cultivators around her were eagerly trying to "squeeze out" the knowledge from her mind. Some cultivator seniors even stared at her head with deep meaning, resembling characters from future science fiction stories. It seemed like they had the intention to pry it open and take a look.
At the same time, there were wave after wave of increasingly fierce attacks from the outside.
Although everyone had a smile on their faces, they knew very well in their hearts.
If they didn't figure it out soon, it would be too late.
Just as the next wave of attacks from the demons was about to come to the demon realm.
The first atomic... oops, I mean spiritual energy bomb of Masui City has finally been successfully developed.
All the cultivators of Masui City immediately entered a long period of waiting.
Whether it can explode or not, and whether the aim is accurate or not, is still unknown.
But before they had a chance to test the explosives, another wave of strange birds from the demon realm arrived.
According to Qi Feidao, these strange birds are the vanguard, attacking wave after wave, indiscriminately, devouring food and supplies, and scouting the layout of the city, before the main forces arrive.
From far away, they used a "telescope" to spot the incoming strange birds.
Qi Feidao's expression turned serious, as he commanded, "Order, sound the air defense alarm, tell everyone to find shelter and not go outside."
With a slight smile on his lips, Qi Feidao said, "Perfect, let's use these first."
Raising his hand, he immediately ordered others to bring up these spiritual energy cannons!
"Form up!"
As Qiao Wan listened to the familiar wailing sound of the alarm, she felt a bit confused.
Looking at the spiritual power cannon that was being transported, she had a complex expression on her face. She aimed it all towards the sky.
The sword cultivators, who were practicing their formations and techniques, were already prepared. Unlike the previous large-scale formation, Ma Huaizhen and Qi Feidao had dispersed everyone and reorganized them into a scattered formation that was more suitable for the new situation of the spiritual power cannon.
The sword cultivators formed disciplined teams, standing in precise formation, with a serious military presence.
Qiao Wan calmed herself and immediately had her transformed giant puppet Buddha carried out.
Qiu Ergou and other puppet masters skillfully controlled the strings of the puppet, their fingers moving swiftly.
After deploying the spiritual power cannon in the depths and on the sides of the battle formation, Qiao Wan and a group of senior sword cultivators, waving flags with the word "cold," rushed forward first!
This is a strategy called "Firepower Assault" that Ma Huaizhen has developed on his own through many years of battle experience.
Qiao Wan and the swordsmen are bait to lure the enemy into the range of their firepower.
Standing on the sword, Qiao Wan looked into the distance and saw a large flock of strange birds approaching, causing her heart to race.
Trying to suppress the dizziness, Qiao Wan waved the flag in her hand and shouted, "Everyone!"
"Listen to my command!"
In response, there was a tremendous roar.
"Great!"
Their power was awe-inspiring, conquering all obstacles!
At the same time, the Souvenir Stone was also brought onto the battlefield for Ma Huaizhen and the others to monitor the battle in real-time.
A disfigured and disabled man sat upright, his gaze fixed on the image on the Souvenir Stone.
This was a decisive battle.
In the distance, dark clouds loomed, obscuring the sun.
Qiao Wan drew her sword, and the cold light reflected in her eyes, shining brightly. With determination, she shouted, "Everyone, attack!"
