Chapter 655: Starry Sea with Eyes Everywhere
After a trip to the Eden World, Lao Jiang returned to the Kumu Realm at the quietest moment of midnight.
Most of the noisy Eden players evacuated again. It was said that the Heart of the Swarm DLC in the wasteland had a high rating, and they were constantly recruiting new soldiers to join the battle, which attracted a lot of people over there.
The battle in the wasteland was in full swing, and the rescue campaign for the City of Elysium had just ended. Thanks to the Edenites, the Black Hand's strategy was a complete victory.
Before the swarm of insects that rushed out of the sea destroyed the City of Paradise, most of the citizens inside were rescued, so that Rogge's human resources were more abundant.
But the overall situation remains not optimistic.
Lao Jiang could see the general situation clearly through the "real-time live broadcast" of the wasteland branches of the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree. This was only the first wave , and their queen had already mobilized a large army to land from the coastline on the other side of the wasteland.
There is a large wasteland city-state called Oasis of Order over there, but according to the comparison of military strength between the two sides, that large city-state obviously cannot withstand a wave of Zerg.
This crucial strategic information was discovered by Lao Jiang at the first opportunity, but he could not tell Rogge.
This is the agreement between him and the Heart of the Wasteland.
This war, which concerns the dominance of civilization, is generally a civil war in the wasteland. Outsiders like Lao Jiang cannot participate too much. He should just be a bystander.
Anyway, the heart of the wasteland has been integrated into the Seven Treasures Tree. No matter whether the insects win or humans win, Lao Jiang has the right to mobilize the power of the wasteland.
If you think about it with a dark mind, it is actually more beneficial to Jiang Zemin if the Zerg wins.
That means that he will have an extra swarm of insects under his command that are good at fighting numerical warfare. As long as the number expands to a certain limit, Lao Jiang can even flood the entire Ku Mu Territory with insects.
All those powerful people in the Immortal Alliance will end up being nothing more than a pile of insect shit.
Of course, this is just a nice thought. The world level in the wasteland is too low, and the Zerg cannot evolve any powerful power there.
There is no way it can reach the scale of the world-destroying Zerg led by the Queen of Blades. At most it will be the scale of Starship Troopers.
It’s okay to bully lower-level civilizations.
If it were really brought to the Ku Mu Realm, I'm afraid the monks would suck out its brains.
"This efficiency is too low!"
Jiang Xia hid on a mountain top on the Disaster Island and injected the injections purified from the scraps of monsters brought back from the Eden World into his body one by one.
But it was a long time before his evolutionary power gave him some new tricks.
Lao Jiang flexed his five fingers and stroked the layer of fine scales growing on his arm. It felt similar to dragon scales and was fairly solid. However, the efficiency of its evolution was a little too low.
With so many monster characteristics gathered together, he only grew some scales. If it weren't for the fact that this magical power acts on the gene itself and has no evolutionary restrictions, it can be said to be a useless magical power.
He frowned.
I feel that this thing is not as good as the genetic medicine that was just sent over by the Black Hand Society.
The medicines made with the gene fragments of the "gods" of the Spartan world are very effective. Boss Jiang said they are good after using them.
It made all the data of his already formed body increase a lot, but considering the current state of Lao Jiang's physical enhancement, those miraculous genetic drugs were basically better than nothing for his enhancement.
But if you think about it seriously, the physical strength of a Mohist weapon maker like him is enough to fight with a serious spiritual cultivator in a boxing match. So what else does he need?
“Try this.”
Boss Jiang secretly took out a small tube of serum from the ring. This was the blood sample he had obtained from his master sister when he had tricked Shi Yan into making more clones in case of emergency.
The purified serum is produced after being processed in the world of Eden .
This would be like being a thief, unplugging the cork, using a special syringe to draw out the serum, and injecting it into his body. Old Jiang had been envious of Shi Yan's natural ability to control the true fire of the sun for a long time.
Before, it was not possible to openly use the serum to give to Rogge to make genetic medicine. After all, it was something related to innate supernatural powers and was in the realm of cultivation. It was difficult to identify and utilize it with purely technological means.
Now that he had the power of evolution, he could try to see if he could "inherit" this great power from Shi Yan.
Don't tell me.
After the injection of this tube of serum, Lao Jiang immediately felt a warm feeling inside his body, as if a stove was lit. As time went on, he exhaled hot air when he opened his mouth.
“Yes!”
Boss Jiang's eyes lit up as he continued to wait for his magical power to be activated. He did not waste any time and took out the giant's relic that he had brought back from the Eden World and played with it.
Although Zhongshu had introduced the origin and function of the armillary sphere to him, Jiang Xia always felt that Juzi's intention in leaving this thing behind was definitely not simple.
This thing is definitely not just a star coordinate calculator, nor can it be just a real-time monitoring within the star range.
Boss Jiang looked carefully at the small armillary sphere in his hand. He was puzzled and finally decided to seek "off-site support". He first carefully held the Tianbao Lingyu that Dong Yao and Dong Gaogong had given him.
This thing can block the secrets of heaven and prevent people from spying on it with secret methods, just like a mind jammer. He took out Mo Jun's puppet from the ring and injected a trace of spiritual energy into it.
Just like an underground party meeting, Lao Jiang asked stealthily:
"Master, are you all right? Is it convenient to talk now?"
"Hold on."
Mo Jun's hoarse voice sounded from the puppet, saying:
"There are several possessed demons who are trying to devour me. I will get rid of them. Tell me what you want. I will listen while you fight."
"Oh, it seems that the law of the jungle really applies in the Demon Suppression Tower. The leader is suffering."
Lao Jiang first expressed his feelings, and then briefly told Mo Jun about his experiences in the world of Eden, especially the armillary sphere left behind by this great man.
He wanted to know the true usage of this thing from the master.
The headmaster was silent for a few breaths, then he panted and said:
"Well, I think I know. The master must have left this item for you. When you were learning how to make a star array with me, do you remember me telling you the basics of how the star array works?"
"Remember, the star array is the coordinate point. It is similar to the principle of wormhole travel in the Eden people's navigation technology. By opening a star gate between two coordinates, you can travel back and forth freely."
Lao Jiang repeated it, and Mo Jun hummed with satisfaction.
And then:
"For the star array to work, the coordinates of both sides must be determined. However, with so many stars, how can we have so much time to calculate the coordinates for you, and then leisurely use the star array to connect the two places?
If this wonderful thing fell into the hands of others, it would at most be an observatory for observing the sea of stars.
But in the hands of a cultivator like you who has the ability to travel through time and space, it will open the door to the entire star field for you. From now on, the entire path to the stars will no longer be blocked in front of you.
What this armillary sphere gives you is the billions of secret worlds that have been calculated by Juzi and the navigation center in this cosmic coordinate system.
You only need to follow its direction, use my Mohist star-pulling technique as a guide, and then activate your shuttle magic, and you can reach any place you want to go without the help of the star array."
"This... isn't this equivalent to Ju Zi opening up the full map vision for me?"
Lao Jiang blinked and said:
"This is cheating. Master, please teach me the Mohist stargazing technique as soon as possible. I can't wait to travel around in this sea of stars."
"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet."
Mo Jun seemed to be in a fierce battle, causing his speech rhythm to lag. After a few breaths of silence, he said to Jiang Xia:
"It is now known that Juzi is still among the stars, accumulating strength for the great event of Kumu Realm. He left this thing to you, perhaps also wanting you to use it to find him.
Whether you want to communicate in advance or entrust an important matter, with this item, you will be able to find the footprints of the giant in the starry universe.
Follow the trail and catch up.
If we can really meet Ju Zi, we will tell him the current situation of Ku Mu Realm, and then send greetings to Ju Zi on behalf of me and all the senior brothers and sisters, and tell them that we have not forgotten the responsibilities he left behind.
Then ask him to return to Kumu Territory and take charge of the overall situation."
"good."
Lao Jiang agreed immediately.
"Listen carefully, I will teach you how to find the celestial coordinates of the place you want to go in the sea of stars displayed in the armillary sphere.
There is also the Zhoutian Star Array, although it has been destroyed.
But you still have the pictures and texts recorded on it, so you can use the method I taught you to make the star array to recreate it. If you have the help of this Zhoutian star array in your future actions, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
Over there, while Mo Jun was fighting with the evil monsters in the Demon-Suppressing Tower, he orally taught Lao Jiang the introductory formula of the Mohist Star-Guiding Technique.
This thing is very complicated to learn and must be learned step by step.
Mo Jun was afraid that Lao Jiang would hear too much at once and would not be able to understand it, so he first told him the introductory formula and let him learn how to travel back and forth between the planets around Ku Mu Realm without the aid of the star array.
After you become proficient in this exercise, you can then learn how to locate stars at ultra-long distances.
Anyway, the armillary sphere is already in hand, and the directions of the celestial bodies are under Lao Jiang's control. Although time is tight, there is still time to squeeze out some study, and it is necessary.
With this kind of thing, haste makes waste. If you really rush into it, it's easy to run into problems.
Boss Jiang also understands the danger.
He almost fell into the Taiyin Cold Abyss before, and he had to be well prepared before each trip back and forth between the stars.
"Master, you go ahead and do your work. I will start practicing right away. Once I have mastered the skill, I will come to you to learn the next stage."
Jiang Xia said to the puppet leader in front of him:
"And the matter of interrogating Xiao Feng, is it going smoothly?"
“Not yet.”
Mo Jun replied:
“There is a barrier between the eighth and ninth floors of this Demon Suppression Tower.
There are many demons, monsters, and evil cultivators of all kinds on the eighth floor, as well as monsters trapped here. If they are not subdued first, trouble is bound to arise from someone's excessive talk.
There is no need to rush this matter. I will proceed with it properly.
Once I have found something, I will contact you immediately. When I am not here, you must keep a low profile when you return to the mountain gate to avoid criticism."
"I have already prepared for this, so don't worry, Master."
Lao Jiang replied, and spoke a few words to the headmaster, then severed the connection with the puppet and put the puppet into the storage ring and kept it properly.
He stood up on Scourge Island.
He moved his hands, and when his five fingers were clasped together, a ray of red-gold fire flashed by, which made Boss Jiang's eyes full of surprise. It really worked.
This evolutionary magical power is not useless. Shi Yan has not yet obtained the Sun True Fire magical power, but she already has a weak ability to control fire. She needs to obtain more serum, learn this magical power again and again, and then turn it into a part of her genes.
As long as Sister Shi Yan can give enough blood, Lao Jiang will definitely be able to master the Heavenly Fire Magical Power.
"In that case..."
Jiang Xia stroked his chin, and a bold idea emerged in his mind.
"If I can get some of Lin Lord's scales and blood, wouldn't I have a chance to get Lin Lord's dragon body incarnation? And little Gu Miao's noble dragon form of Qinglong Jiaozi...
Tsk tsk, if you think about it this way, there is a lot of potential!"
His heart was filled with emotions at the thought, and he wanted to go find the Lord of Scales right now and ask for some of the fallen scales, but he quickly suppressed this arrogant thought with reason.
If I really go to ask for it, I'm afraid I'll be beaten to death by Lord Lin's claws.
We still have to take it step by step.
"First, while the West Sea is still in chaos, go and take over the other spirit realms under the Dragon Palace."
Boss Jiang lit a cigarette to calm his excitement. He looked at the vast sea in the dark night and made up his mind. When Liu Chu woke up, they would return to Mo Shuang Mountain.
The time for staying in Xihai has entered the countdown, and those things that need to be done must be done quickly.
If we really have to wait until the West Sea stabilizes again, there won’t be such a good opportunity.
"I wonder how many more leaves you will produce this time, and how many more flowers you will give me."
Jiang Xia, in his primordial spirit state, looked at the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, which was no longer bare, in his sea of consciousness. He stroked the branches and trunk made of starlight, looked at the flowers that had already bloomed, and said:
"I wonder how graceful you will be when all seven branches bloom and are covered with leaves?"
