Chapter 19 Test Subject

As Wu Ji's remains fell into a deep sleep again, all the illusions, including the incarnation of Thunder God, disappeared, as if it was a dream that had never existed.

Qi Xuansu was not in a hurry to leave this place, and carefully observed the alienated remains of Wu Ji through the formation.

As the saying goes, if you read three hundred poems, you can recite them even if you can't write poems. Qi Xuansu has come into contact with so many things in the creation, including the "Emperor Shitian", the culmination of the Eight Departments' Engineering, and the "Eternal Life Stone", the culmination of the creation engineering, so Qi Xuansu really saw a little bit of the door. There are obvious traces of creation transformation on it, not only the totem of Wujiao, but also the talisman of Taoism, which has the advantages of both. It is undoubtedly the work of Yao Zu.

Obviously, Yao Zu's transformation is a multi-purpose, first of all, it completely eliminates the possibility of Wu Ji's resurrection, and secondly, Wu Ji is regarded as the core of the formation of this pass, eliminating the need to connect with the earth or reserve divine power, and to squeeze out the last bit of Wu Ji's value.

It fits the family motto of the Yao family very well. If you lose, you will bear a grudge. If you win, you will counterattack.

Obviously, this is the counterattack of Yao Zu.

Qi Xuansu felt a little familiar. Everything in front of him seemed to have the same origin as his "Heart of the Immortal Stone". If the "Heart of the Immortal Stone" is the epitome and essence of the creation project, then the transformation of Wu Ji's remains is one aspect of the creation project.

Qi Xuansu had an idea from this. Can he obtain Wu Ji's magical powers through Wu Ji's remains? It is this kind of illusion ability that is so powerful that it is completely real.

At this moment, Qi Jiaoyao's voice came from above: "Qi Tianyuan, come up quickly, this passage is about to be closed."

Qi Xuansu looked up and saw that the passage he opened up with the Broken Void Realm was shrinking, like the flesh and blood of some living creature, constantly wriggling and gradually healing.

Could it be that the whole city is the remains of Wu Ji?

Qi Xuansu thought so and knew that he could not stay any longer. He rose from the ground and left before the passage was completely closed.

After all, whether he could obtain Wu Ji's ability was secondary. His main purpose was to explore the secret of the "Heart of the Longevity Stone".

After Qi Xuansu returned to the ground, he found that the gray-white fog that had originally enveloped the city had dissipated at some point, revealing the true face of the city. This was a special city filled with temples of different sizes, built against the mountain. The temples were built with large pieces of stone, but the doors and windows were made of metal, and various Taoist talismans were cast on their surfaces, which seemed to be the technology of the Tianji Hall.

There were various creations inside and around these temples, including but not limited to firearms, crossbows, mechanical puppets, zombies, etc., but because of Qi Xuansu's Jianxiu Shanbing and other permissions, these creations did not move and were in a static state.

Qi Xuansu came to a mechanical puppet and found that this puppet was different from the puppet in Tianshui Yixin Tower. It seemed to be an earlier version. After careful observation, Qi Xuansu suddenly punched. There was a series of explosions, and the armor on the surface of the mechanical puppet began to disintegrate into scattered parts such as helmets, helmets, armor, and boots. However, under the armor, it was not a core as Qi Xuansu thought, nor was it empty, but a dried corpse.

Qi Xuansu now knew why he felt that this puppet was wrong. It turned out that it was essentially an extension of the corpse, a very low-level "Emperor Shitian" prototype, and then put on a set of armor. The mechanical puppet that Qi Xuansu saw in Tianshui Yixin Tower was mainly based on mechanical skills and divine power. It also absorbed some of the alchemy of Westerners and could even have a simple conversation with Qi Xuansu. It was completely different.

Qi Xuansu carefully examined the mummy again and found a sutured wound on its chest. After opening it, the chest cavity was empty, without a heart, only a stone.

This is certainly not the "heart of the immortal stone". At best, it can only be said to be a "heart of stone", which is a very low-level prototype of the "immortal stone".

What is this? Is there any point in adding the prototype of the "immortal stone" to the prototype of the "Emperor Shitian"?

Qi Xuansu had a hunch that Yao Zu seemed to be experimenting with something, and these creations reflected some of Yao Zu's ideas.

Could it be that Yao Zu's original idea was to embed a complete "immortal stone" into the body of "Emperor Shitian"? "Emperor Shitian" itself is comparable to an immortal. If the "immortal stone" that can create an immortal is added, wouldn't it create an immortal of one catastrophe?

There is no doubt that Yao Zu can refine the "Eternal Life Stone". As early as the era of Wu Xian, two "Eternal Life Stones" were refined. Even Chen Shuhua could secretly refine a "Eternal Life Stone". How could Yao Zu, who was far superior to Chen Shuhua in terms of power, resources and realm, not be able to refine the "Eternal Life Stone"?

However, according to the situation when Qi Xuansu directly manipulated "Emperor Shitian" last time, "Emperor Shitian" did not become a first-tribulation immortal. The most intuitive performance was that he did not form a crushing trend against Qingwei Zhenren. No matter how many immortal objects Qingwei Zhenren mastered, he was not a real immortal, let alone a quasi-first-tribulation immortal like the national teacher. If "Emperor Shitian" was really a first-tribulation immortal, against Qingwei Zhenren, the result could only be one force over ten skills.

From this point of view, Yao Zu's attempt should have failed, and he failed to implant the "Eternal Life Stone" into the body of "Emperor Shitian". This is why the direction changed later, and he completely turned to mechanical art, so there was a new version of puppets in Tianshui Yixinlou.

As for these failed experimental products, Yao Zu did not destroy them, but simply threw them into the Lingshan Cave.

It gives people a feeling that Yao Zu treats Lingshan Cave Heaven as a storage room, where all kinds of useful and useless things are piled up here, and they come in to look for them when they need them. No wonder he doesn't let others in.

Although this experiment failed, it can also give us a glimpse of Yao Zu's thinking. Qi Xuansu even has a bold guess that after the failure of implanting the "Eternal Life Stone" into "Emperor Shitian", Yao Zu must have summed up the experience of failure. Yao Zu believes that "Emperor Shitian" is essentially a dead person, which is inconsistent with the "Eternal Life Stone" that emphasizes immortality, resurrection, and longevity, and is not suitable as a carrier of the "Eternal Life Stone". So Yao Zu changed his thinking and used living people as the carrier of the "Eternal Life Stone".

However, the "Eternal Life Stone" has various negative effects. Even the second-generation "Eternal Life Stone" of the enlightened six witches has the disadvantage of too high a threshold. In essence, it is still prepared for immortals.

Therefore, Yao Zu completely changed his thinking, using the second-generation "Eternal Life Stone" as a blueprint, lowering the threshold, and allowing the "Eternal Life Stone" to grow with the host.

This is probably the origin of the "Heart of the Eternal Life Stone".

Compared with the "Immortal Stone", the threshold of the "Immortal Stone Heart" is as low as it can be. Not to mention people with innate ability, even people with acquired ability can implant the "Immortal Stone Heart" as long as their bodies are mature. However, there are gains and losses. The "Immortal Stone Heart" cannot make people directly become immortals. Apart from some life-saving functions, it seems that it is not worthy of the word "immortality".

However, the "Immortal Stone Heart" gives the host unlimited future and possibilities. The "Immortal Stone Heart" grows together with the host. When the host is called an immortal, there is no difference between the "Immortal Stone Heart" and the "Immortal Stone".

This reminds Qi Xuansu of two words - furnace tripod.

The furnace tripod for refining the "Immortal Stone".

However, these are all Qi Xuansu's guesses, and there is no substantial evidence, because the Li family also has the "Immortal Stone Heart", and it cannot be said that the Li family regards Li Changge as a furnace tripod, which indirectly denies Qi Xuansu's guess.

What kind of reasons and inside stories are there in this, we need to continue to explore to know.

In other words, this also confirms Qi Xuansu's original idea. Lingshan Cave Heaven really hides the secret of the "Heart of the Longevity Stone".

You can't see these original versions of mechanical puppets outside, let alone the remains of Wu Ji.

Qi Jiaoyao also came over, took a look at the stone heart in Qi Xuansu's hand, and asked, "What is this?"

Qi Xuansu asked back, "You have been here for so long, don't you know?"

Qi Jiaoyao said as a matter of course, "I had the authority in the past, and I wouldn't provoke these creatures, how could I know?"

Qi Xuansu used five fingers to force the stone heart directly into powder.

Obviously, whether it is texture or magical power, this primary imitation cannot be compared with the original.

Qi Xuansu picked up another piece of armor part, looked at it carefully for a moment, and found nothing, so he had to put it down.

Qi Jiaoyao was already a little impatient: "Are you going to leave?"

"Let's go." Qi Xuansu said.

There were no more obstacles, and the road was smooth. Qi Xuansu and Qi Jiaoyao left this place quickly. Outside was another vast plain, which was also a battlefield. Yao Zu and the Yao family did not completely clean up the battlefield here, but just opened a road from it.

Qi Jiaoyao had walked through it more than once, and introduced it to Qi Xuansu: "There is nothing here, but this place was once the place where Zu Tianshi killed Wu Ji. The thunder energy is strong, and thunder often falls. Be careful of being struck by thunder."

Qi Xuansu then looked up.

Sure enough, the sky above was not just a dark cloud, but a gathering of thunderclouds, in which lightning surged and wandered, appearing and disappearing from time to time, like a dragon poking its head out from time to time, as if it would fall at any time.

Qi Xuansu held the "Qingyun". Thunder and lightning did not recognize people, but recognized Zu Tianshi's sword. Anyway, he was not afraid.

Qi Jiaoyao saw Qi Xuansu's actions and immediately understood, and immediately approached Qi Xuansu.

This shameless spirit is quite like Xiao Yin's style. No, strictly speaking, among the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren around Qi Xuansu, only Zhang Yuelu in the middle is more reserved and respectable, and can be said to be untainted by mud. As for the other two, no matter old or young, it is hard to say.

Qi Xuansu ignored her and continued to move forward.

Thunder and lightning continued to fall, connecting the sky and the earth. But they always avoided the vicinity of Qi Xuansu.

The plain was vast, with corpses everywhere, and there was only a long road that could not be seen at a glance.

After walking for a long time, it was almost night, and Qi Xuansu suddenly stopped and looked up.

Qi Jiaoyao followed Qi Xuansu's gaze.

In the sky, two figures were fighting fiercely.

They wandered between the lightning, and countless rubble floating in the air was shattered by the aftermath of their fight, and visible ripples spread out.

One of them kept swinging out crescent-shaped sword energy, which fell like rain.

The other person summoned large patches of cold flames. At first glance, these flames actually looked like a human face, with the tail of the flames like hair, constantly piling up and covering the sky and the sun.

Qi Xuansu had seen this scene before.
