An Emperor-Level Machine Puppet Not in the Records
Upon hearing her words, the fugitives opened their eyes and looked at each other with surprise and uncertainty.
The Blue-skinned People Elder, supported by the other fugitives, slowly approached the back of the driver's seat and asked, "What happened?"
"You see."
The girl in a vegetative state pointed to a display screen on the control panel, which showed footage taken by the Spaceship's onboard observation system, allowing the pilots to clearly see the situation behind the Spaceship.
At that moment, an astonishing scene was displayed on the screen: the enormous Void Storm that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see had split in two, leaving a huge passage in the middle for the Spaceship to pass through.
Moreover, the marks left by the splitting of this Void Storm did not seem to be a natural phenomenon, but rather as if someone had used unimaginable power to divide the storm in two.
"Prophet... we..."
The girl in a vegetative state also noticed something amiss and asked hesitantly.
"Don't worry about it."
The Blue-skinned People Elder said in a deep voice, "Let's head to Eden first. At least for now, this being doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards us."
"Yes."
This Void Storm, which was originally a dead end, became a barrier for the Spaceship's navigation within the Void River after it was torn apart. The violent Energy Storm repelled all other chaotic energy within the Void River, and a calm route was formed in its center. After passing through this Void Storm, the Spaceship encountered no further obstacles. Following the guidance of the Blue-skinned People Elder, the Spaceship finally arrived at the legendary "Eden".
In the Void River, which was filled with chaotic energy, the energy of the Void River was guided by some Mysterious Power and gradually calmed down, transforming into a spherical barrier. Within this barrier, a tranquil area appeared, just like a bubble that was accidentally born in the river.
Bai Qiuran and Tang Ruowei saw the Spaceship arrive in front of the "bubble" and then plunge into it. At the same time, a small opening appeared in the bubble to allow the Spaceship to enter.
"Looks like we've come to the right place."
After entering the Spaceship, Bai Qiuran rode the Clear Autumn Waters to the front of the "bubble".
"To establish a base in such a dangerous place, what a brilliant idea!"
"This energy barrier is very strong."
Tang Ruowei stretched out her hand, and a phantom image appeared beside her—it was the palm of her Consciousness Demon Clone.
The Breast Enhancement Bodhisattva, now stronger than even the Imperial Heaven Realm Immortal Emperor, reached out and pressed against the "bubble" barrier, only to be repelled by a tremendous repulsive force.
She could certainly destroy the barrier with all her might, but if her destructive actions were to unleash the power accumulated within the bubble barrier over the years near the bottom of the Void River, not only would the contents of the bubble be annihilated by the energy, but she herself would also be unlikely to escape unscathed.
"Master, how do we get in?"
When faced with a problem, Tang Ruowei decisively passed the question to Bai Qiuran.
"That's fine."
Bai Qiuran stretched out her finger and drew several mysterious Divine Script on the surface of the bubble barrier, then activated the Magic Incantation.
"Let time turn back."
A transparent wave emanated from the Divine Script runes, and then, strange phenomena began to appear on the bubble barrier in front of Tang Ruowei.
The energy that had been flowing gently across the surface of the bubble began to flow back at an absurd speed. A second later, a passage large enough for a medium-sized Spaceship to pass through appeared in front of the two of them.
"It was when that Spaceship just passed by..."
Tang Ruowei was stunned for a moment, Bai Qiuran grabbed her hand.
"Let's go inside."
The two rode their swords and entered the bubble through the opening that allowed the Spaceship to pass through.
Upon entering the bubble, an astonishing sight appeared before the two.
Inside the bubble was a peaceful Void, and within this Void sat a colossal Machine Puppet. Blue light flowed across the Machine Puppet's body, and countless enormous patterns formed Runes that appeared all over its massive form.
However, unlike other Machine Puppet, the material on the surface of this Machine Puppet does not have a golden sheen, but rather an ancient, whitish bronze-like appearance.
The Machine Puppet's face was benevolent, looking like a worshipped God Statue. It had twelve arms, with the two uppermost arms reaching upwards, their palms gently supporting the top of the bubble.
An endless stream of blue energy flowed from his palm, maintaining the circulation of this bubble barrier.
His other ten arms stretched out like a peacock's tail, gently cradling one enormous City after another in their palms.
There are nine City in total, m•hetushu•com. com City, because there is one more City that is held near the chest of the Machine Puppet with its arms, and that City is also the largest.
"That is..."
Tang Ruowei stared at the Machine Puppet, her face full of surprise.
"Emperor-level Machine Puppet? But it's not listed in the database of the Machine Puppet body we were given."
"It's possible that its existence was erased by the Machine God."
Bai Qiuran replied, "Of course it's possible. The Machine God itself believes it has crashed into the Void River... Let's go, let's go check out those City."
As the story unfolds, while Bai Qiuran and Tang Ruowei have found the headquarters of the mysterious force hidden within the Machine Puppet Territory, the secret agents dispatched by the Machine God —the pool of Silver-white Liquid Machine Puppet —have also arrived in the world of the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou.
Relying on its Immortals- level combat power, the silver-white Machine Puppet easily attacked several Cultivators from the Cultivator Alliance, disguised itself as them, blended in, and slowly climbed up layer by layer.
During this process, he also learned a lot about this world. This world has experienced several great calamities. The main material beings in the world are divided into two types: the Monster Race and the Human Race. The Monster Race established a unified Monster Kingdom many years ago, while the Human Race recently established a unified Cultivator Alliance.
The Cultivator Alliance he belonged to happened to have intricate connections with the legendary Immortal Ancestor.
According to the intelligence he gleaned from the minds of Cultivators at all levels, the current Alliance Leader of this Cultivator Alliance, Jueyunzi, also serves as the Sect Master of the Azure Nether Sword Sect. Within the Azure Nether Sword Sect, a legendary figure is enshrined— the Qingming Sword Ancestor.
This Sword Ancestor is said to be the strongest swordsman of the Human Race, and also the last reliance of the Human Race in the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou. The fact that the human race in the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou has survived several calamities is all due to the shadow of this Sword Ancestor.
It is said that in every calamity when Human Race was unable to withstand the onslaught, it was this Sword Ancestor who stepped forward to turn the tide and prevent the collapse of the great empire.
There are also rumors that some people have seen Immortals descend from the Immortal Realm and treat this Sword Ancestor with utmost respect, as if he were a junior. Therefore, the silver-white liquid Machine Puppet speculates that this Qingming Sword Ancestor is very likely the Immortal Ancestor mentioned by the Immortal Emperor Le Zhentian. In that case, Jueyunzi, the Alliance Leader of the Cultivator Alliance, becomes the best target to get close to him.
