Bronze Giant, Mountain-Moving Strongman

Rumors from the outside world can never compare to the truth seen with one's own eyes.

It wasn't until she stepped into the Hundred Lands Mountain Range that Bixiao truly understood the truth of that statement.

This is a world completely different from the outside world.

A place where humans, gods, living beings, and nature can live in harmony.

Centuries-old trees are everywhere here, unlike the desolate settlements of other races.

But this does not mean that there is no order here.

On the contrary, the golden terraced fields and orchards that can be seen everywhere perfectly adorn every mountain forest and river.

Moreover, as Qiongxiao and Bixiao gazed into the distance, factories and villas came into view.

Those were purely man-made objects, yet they appeared remarkably harmonious placed among these mountains and forests.

"Is that the Bronze Beast!?"

Pointing to a colossal bronze giant, Bixiao's eyes gleamed with eager anticipation.

The Bronze Beast is a specialty of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, a secret treasure that has never been released to the outside world.

Even Xingtian City, renowned for its ingenuity, mechanisms, and mechanical technology, could only produce replicas of autonomous puppets or Puppets. Bixiao had seen such lifelike Puppets in Longbo Square.

She even has a simple doll in her hand right now.

But compared to that bronze giant moving mountains and building dams, those Puppets were truly just toys. "This Bronze Beast is far more magnificent than the legends say!"

Looking up at the enormous bronze giant, Qiongxiao suddenly remembered a legend about Bronze Beast.

It is said that the reason why the Bronze Beast did not flow into the outside world was not because the Three-Eyed Clan was stingy.

Rather, it's because these Bronze Beast were all created by the Dao Ancestor, and the Three-Eyed Clan only possessed the right to use them.

Whether out of respect for the Dao Ancestor or out of tradition over the past hundred years...

The Three-Eyed Clan would never, and would never allow these Bronze Beast to enter the outside world.

Of course, the Three-Eyed Clan only forbids the Bronze Beast from entering the outside world.

In fact, a significant portion of Xingtian City's autonomous puppet and Puppets technology originated from the deciphering of the Bronze Beast.

The one who made the most outstanding contribution was undoubtedly Wu Zhen from Xingtian City.

As a pure seeker of the Dao, Wu Zhen's thirst for knowledge was in no way inferior to Li Boyang's.

Not to mention that Li Boyang never explicitly forbade others from deciphering his technology.

Even if Li Boyang were to speak up personally, Wu Zhen would definitely decipher and study the Bronze Beast in private.

"Those bronze coins you used before... were they made of the same material as this bronze giant, right?"

Suddenly remembering the bronze coins she had spent on shopping before, Bixiao blinked in amazement.

Bixiao had her eye on those bronze coins that possessed immense practical value and could even be used to forge magical Law Treasure.

Consider the monetary value of those bronze coins.

Then look at that bronze giant not far away, which is even taller than a mountain.

Bixiao suddenly felt that what she was seeing was not a bronze giant, but a super gold mountain that could move.

"I advise you not to covet that bronze giant!"

Seeing through Bixiao's little scheme at a glance, Qiongxiao tugged at her and said in an annoyed tone.

Do you know what it's called outside?

"That's a true Mountain-Moving Strongman, someone who can easily lift a mountain peak."

"Let alone you and me, even my eldest sister might not be able to get any advantage from him."

The bronze giant... or rather, the Mountain-Moving Strongman, seemed to have heard the two sisters' words and suddenly glanced down in their direction. That single glance startled the outsiders beside the sisters, who gasped in surprise.

Because the face of that Mountain-Moving Strongman was actually a mask—a mask covered with complex Talisman Seal Script.

Extending outwards along those intricate patterns.

Only then did everyone realize that the seemingly decorative patterns on the Mountain-Moving Strongman were actually formed Formation.

The Mountain-Moving Strongman are able to move mountains, but they do not rely on pure strength.

Its interior contains a complex and sophisticated mechanical structure, which in turn forms a series of three-dimensional composite Formation.

Furthermore, the Talisman Seal Script and even Talisman Incantation etched on its surface indicate that the abundant Yuan Qi stored within it far exceeds the level of a normal Heavenly Deity. Or, to be more precise, this Mountain-Moving Strongman is an artificial, combat-type Heavenly Deity.

Apart from those who Dao Proving truly succeeded in Dao Proving One, no one dares to say that they can reliably defeat such a powerful artificial war god.

"Is this a deterrent?"

"This must be a deterrent!"

"This is definitely a deterrent!"

Amidst a chorus of exclamations, the Mountain-Moving Strongman's eyes suddenly shot out two beams of light.

Anyone swept by those two beams of light felt a chill that emanated from the depths of their being, as if they had been seen through from the inside out. And indeed, the Mountain-Moving Strongman scanned almost everyone.

Only after confirming that none of the outsiders were illegal immigrants did the Mountain-Moving Strongman turn back to their work of moving mountains and overturning peaks. This is the first screening mechanism for outsiders in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, and it is indeed a silent deterrent.

Even powerful cultivators like Qiongxiao and Bixiao couldn't escape the gaze of that battle light.

Fortunately, the beam of light only verified the information of the "Navigation Map" and its holder.

Otherwise, given the sisters' personalities, they would have already exploded.

Even so, watching the Mountain-Moving Strongman's retreating figure, Bixiao couldn't help but fall into a long silence.

"This show of force... it definitely worked."

As she glanced casually at the crowd nearby, Bixiao noticed that many of them had become noticeably more well-behaved.

Especially those with ill intentions, their eyes darting around, seemed to be considering retreating.

Unfortunately, before those people could retreat back to [Mystic Garden Gate], one luxurious ship after another sailed downstream towards where they were now.

Using the Navigation Map, Bixiao had already learned about the existence of those ferries in advance.

Outsiders who come to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range can only cross the exaggerated Thread of Sky ahead and reach the true core area of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range by taking these ferries.

During this process, outsiders also have to go through several checkpoints for screening.

The Three Gorges Dam at Thread of Sky), the Lord Yanyao of River Pillow Peak, the ever-rotating Heavenly Palace No. 1- Qiongxiao and Heavenly Palace No. 2 satellites in the sky... and the various mountain monsters, deities, and bizarre architectural projects and vehicles encountered along the way, all constantly challenged everyone's worldview. The deeper they ventured into these Hundred Lands Mountain Range, the more clearly Qiongxiao and Bixiao realized just how terrifying the Mountain Folk's resources truly were.
