The First-Generation Mechanical Body Is Born!
As far as Cheng Xiaotian knew, many geniuses died in Martial Emperor City every year, but Martial Emperor City was, after all, Martial Emperor City, with countless geniuses, so the death of a few did not change the overall situation of Martial Emperor City!
However, from another perspective, these fallen prodigies could be a catastrophe for those aristocratic families!
Imagine a family that has been passed down for dozens of generations, and finally, a peerless genius is born. All the Lineage's resources are poured into this genius.
Everyone is waiting for this prodigy to become a big shot in the Future, leading the entire Lineage to create a brand new miracle!
However, even under these circumstances, this prodigy was rendered completely useless due to irreversible damage before he could even become a powerful figure!
This isn't just about one person becoming a cripple; it could completely destroy an entire aristocratic family!
Four Continents is a place where might makes right!
Don't just look at how Vast Heaven Holy Land is making huge profits and think that I'm making huge profits too, or that I can be invincible like that!
First of all, you need to know that the premise for Vast Heaven Holy Land's various ways of making huge profits is that Vast Heaven Holy Land is absolutely invincible in the Four Continents!
Some have calculated that if all the forces across the Four Continents were to wage war against the Vast Heaven Holy Land, the Vast Heaven Holy Land might not be able to wipe out all the cultivators across the Four Continents!
If we kill at most 90%, the resources of the Vast Heaven Holy Land will be almost exhausted!
Of course, this refers to the resources of the Vast Heaven Holy Land itself, not those obtained through killing and looting!
Therefore, in the Four Continents, no matter what you want to do, you must first have enough power!
Why aren't others envious of Vast Heaven Holy Land's many profitable ventures?
If you're even slightly envious, the big shots of the Vast Heaven Holy Land will gouge your eyes out!
Who are you envious of? Have you had enough of living?
So it's not that people aren't envious of Vast Heaven Holy Land's resources, it's that people dare not be envious of Vast Heaven Holy Land's resources!
But in a Lineage, if you don't have an absolutely powerful figure in charge, no matter how many properties you own, are they truly your own?
Are you sure you're not someone else's pig?
Once the pig is fattened up, isn't it time to slaughter it?
Therefore, any Lineage that wants to ensure its continuity must first ensure that it has sufficient fighting power!
Therefore, when a Lineage produces a prodigy, the Lineage will spare no effort to nurture him!
The Martial Emperor City has lost a prodigy; they can recruit another...
But if a Lineage loses a prodigy, that Lineage could be completely ruined!
For example, a prodigy who has been nurtured by his Lineage for over a decade and excels in every way!
They eventually entered the Martial Emperor City, and thus the Lineage's status rose accordingly!
But then one day, this prodigy suddenly became useless...
Unless such an outstanding prodigy emerges in the future, the Lineage face disintegration!
A prodigy can determine the fate of a Lineage; this is not just an empty saying!
In the past, once a prodigy was ruined, it was almost irreversible!
But now... mechanical bodies have given these prodigies a whole new opportunity!
If you are good enough, even if your body suffers irreversible damage, you can still reach a height that everyone looks up to with the help of a mechanical body!
Which powerful organization hasn't seen some regrettable, fallen prodigies?
How many aristocratic families have been reduced to mere prey to others because of the fall of their own prodigies!
But today, everything has a brand new opportunity!
The most excited of all were some of the disciples of the Vast Heaven Holy Land!
Every year, many disciples of the Vast Heaven Holy Land lose their cultivation due to various dangers!
Although Chu Xinghe would risk his life to refine all kinds of pills for his junior brothers and sisters to change their fate against all odds!
But as I said before, Chu Xinghe's pills are not omnipotent. Even the three most miraculous pills in the world cannot save every junior brother and sister!
But now, with the birth of mechanical bodies, these junior brothers and sisters finally have the opportunity to stand up again!
So at this moment, although Chu Xinghe not calm, he was genuinely happy for his junior brothers and sisters!
Don't be fooled by those ghostly hands that look like they have polio!
But are Ouyang Ming and Wu Erke really joking with you?
The two now have a completely new idea, so according to their idea, they can create all kinds of powerful mechanical bodies for the crippled genius!
The strength of these mechanical bodies is in no way inferior to their previous combat power!
Of course, the only downside is that the mechanical body consumes far too much energy!
After all, no matter how perfectly a mechanical body is crafted, it can never be exactly like a real body. Therefore, the only drawback of a mechanical body might be its battery life!
In the past, a cultivator could fight and recover at the same time, and could probably fight continuously for three to five days.
However, even with the highest-grade Ten-Colored Spirit Stones, a mechanical body would probably only last for one day of continuous combat before it was almost completely depleted!
But this is already excellent enough!
Moreover, Wu Erke indicated that he and Ouyang Ming would be conducting research in different directions!
Ouyang Ming is in charge of researching how to conserve energy and how to improve the combat capabilities of mechanical bodies!
Meanwhile, I continued to research and develop technologies focused on extending battery life...
If there are breakthroughs in the Future, it's not impossible for mechanical bodies to have combat endurance comparable to that of normal cultivators!
I have to say, Ouyang Ming and Wu Erke are incredibly efficient!
In just a few days, the two worked together to create the first generation of mechanical bodies!
Chu Xinghe was speechless when he saw this thing!
From a distance, this first-generation mechanical body looked like a giant Iron Man!
Zhang Wei is a disciple of the Vast Heaven Holy Land. Several years ago, Zhang Wei's Qi Sea was damaged in a battle in a secret realm. Even Elder He could only shake his head and sigh after seeing the extent of the damage!
In the years that followed, the Vast Heaven Holy Land spent countless resources every year trying to warm and reactivate Zhang Wei's Qi Sea.
However, the result was far from optimistic...
By now, Zhang Wei himself has already given up!
Zhang Wei has repeatedly expressed his wish that the sect would allow him to leave and return to his Lineage!
Because Zhang Wei knew he was already a useless person!
In other words, if this were the Vast Heaven Holy Land, a disciple like Zhang Wei would have been abandoned countless times by now!
However, Chu Xinghe refused Zhang Wei's requests time and time again!
Chu Xinghe addressed Senior Brother Zhang Wei!
You shed blood for our Vast Heaven Holy Land! As long as you live, the Vast Heaven Holy Land will never abandon you and your Lineage!
Moreover, it's not just Senior Brother Zhang Wei; from now on, for all disciples of the Vast Heaven Holy Land, if they are injured while on a mission, the Vast Heaven Holy Land will always cover for each and every one of them. The Vast Heaven Holy Land will never abandon or give up on any disciple!
Over the years, Zhang Wei himself had almost given up!
He knew his story was over... he was destined to be a useless person for the rest of his life!
Today, when Zhang Wei heard about mechanical bodies, Zhang Wei wasn't particularly excited!
Over the years, Junior Brother Mu Bai has come to me countless times, saying that he has developed a new medicine that may be able to cure you, Senior Brother!
Initially, Zhang Wei was also excited and hopeful...
But repeated disappointments gradually extinguished the little hope that Zhang Wei had left!
Today, Zhang Wei didn't have much hope for this mechanical body.
But Zhang Wei still came!
At this moment, looking at the strange mechanical body over there, Zhang Wei didn't think much of it. Instead, following Ouyang Ming and Wu Erke's instructions and with the help of his junior brothers, he entered it step by step!
Once Zhang Wei entered, Zhang Wei suddenly noticed something was wrong!
Just as Ouyang Ming had finished preparing everything, this strange thing seemed to connect with his soul in an instant!
Zhang Wei tried to move according to Ouyang Ming's instructions!
In an instant, Zhang Wei discovered that he could easily manipulate this thing with his mind!
So, right before everyone's eyes, Zhang Wei, who had long lost his fighting ability and Spirit Power and had become crippled for countless years, controlled the huge mechanical body and stood up on the spot!
It's important to know that Zhang Wei's damage wasn't limited to his Qi Sea; Zhang Wei entire body was also severely injured. For many years, Zhang Wei had been confined to bed, and even Zhang Wei over required the help of his fellow disciples!
But today, the moment Zhang Wei entered the mechanical body, he suddenly found that he seemed to be able to move!
Wrong!
It's not that I can move on my own anymore!
Instead, the mechanical body that he controlled was now able to move!
But isn't it the same if a mechanical body can move as if it can move on its own?
Over the years, Vast Heaven Holy Land has tried countless methods to help Senior Brother Zhang Wei stand up again!
When various medications failed, Ouyang Ming even devised some magical artifacts to try and help his Senior Brother Zhang Wei stand up!
However, Senior Brother Zhang Wei's Spirit Sea is damaged, making it impossible for him to use any spiritual treasures!
But today, Zhang Wei discovered that through the dual connection between the Eternal Life Jade Talisman and his mechanical body, he could actually control the strange mechanical body!
With a series of "crackling" sounds, Zhang Wei stood up in front of everyone!
"Senior Brother Zhang Wei... take a few steps..."
Ouyang Ming spoke up from the side, and as Ouyang Ming finished speaking, Zhang Wei tried to move around. At this time, he wasn't actually moving; as long as he thought about moving, his mechanical body actually moved!
"You can make your movements bigger! Try punching... attacking!"
Wu Erke also chimed in with a reminder!
As Wu Erke finished speaking, Zhang Wei also tried throwing a punch!
To be honest, although this first-generation mechanical body was much smoother than the polio-stricken ghost hand when it made a move, it was still crooked and awkward!
Even though he was crooked and twisted, Zhang Wei, who was inside the mechanical body, was still teary-eyed and adorable!
He can move now!
I, Zhang Wei, can move now!
Even though it's with the help of this big iron lump!
But I can actually move now!
I'm no longer a useless person who can only lie there...
I can move on my own now!
For an ordinary person, being able to move, jump, and run might be a perfectly normal behavior, but for someone who has been bedridden and disabled for countless years, it is simply the most precious thing in the world!
Even though this mechanical body was still incredibly clumsy, it truly enabled Zhang Wei to stand up from being a cripple!
