War Weapons, I'm a Respectable Man

After Tang Tian finished speaking, the hall fell silent.

Everyone knew that what he said was true.

If the puppets and mechs truly develop independent intelligence, and cause chaos, the Puppet Sect will undoubtedly bear the blame.

If they are sanctioned by the Fairness System, they may face hefty fines or even be unlinked from the system.

The fine is alright.

If the system were to be unbound, it would be a complete catastrophe, and everyone's dream of Longevity immortal would be shattered.

Without the assistance of Fairness System, it would be too difficult for them to embark on the path to Longevity solely through their own cultivation; none of them had the confidence to do so.

Conversely, if research and development in the field of artificial intelligence stagnates, and other forces break through the technology to endow inanimate objects with intelligence,

The advantages of the Puppet Sect would vanish, and product sales would plummet.

They might even go from being the undisputed leader in the field of mechanical puppets to becoming just another ordinary sect.

Just as everyone was frowning in worry, the newly appointed elder Zhong Lingxiu, smiled confidently and slowly spoke:

"The field of intelligence is our sect's core strength, and many of our products rely on it. There is absolutely no reason for us to stop researching it."

However, we can take a two-pronged approach: on the one hand, continue to delve into technologies that imbue inanimate objects with intelligence; on the other hand,...

Simultaneously, methods for controlling intelligence are being developed to ensure that even if a product unexpectedly develops sentience, the system host can easily control it, eliminating the risk of loss of control.

She paused slightly, her gaze sweeping over everyone in the hall, her tone growing increasingly firm:

"In addition to consolidating core advantages, exploring new product categories is also a top priority."

In the Eastern Region, only the Eastern Desolation has no demonic sects; the other four regions all have righteous and demonic factions, and the conflict between them is fierce.

As the system becomes more widespread, many cultivators from demonic sects will inevitably be unable to bind to it.

At that time, the balance of power between the two sides will inevitably be unbalanced, and in order to avoid defeat, the demonic path will most likely take the initiative to provoke a war between the righteous and the demonic.

At that time, the consumption of Law Treasure, elixirs, talismans, and other resources will be enormous, and there will definitely be a shortage of supplies.

However, these are not our areas of expertise. But we can change direction and develop War Weapons.

For example, transforming airships into mobile fortresses equipped with various terrifying offensive and defensive weapons, coupled with intelligent control, would undoubtedly make such a powerful weapon of war highly sought after once it is invented.

Upon hearing this, everyone present was immediately intrigued, their faces beaming with excitement.

Cao Xuan looked at Zhong Lingxiu with eyes full of admiration. "I knew I was right to promote you to the new elder!"

The leadership of sects in the new era should be infused with fresh blood; otherwise, they will be eliminated by the times sooner or later.

Your suggestion is truly enlightening, giving us a clearer understanding of the direction for future development.

He glanced at everyone and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have any objections to Elder Zhong's proposal?"

Tang Tian was the first to shake his head, praising, "Elder Zhong's suggestion is excellent! He truly lives up to his role as the person in charge of marketing and publicity."

They had a keen market sense, immediately grasping the core issues and pointing out the future direction for development.

The suggestions regarding the field of intelligence are also excellent. They allow us to avoid overreacting and to move forward steadily, completely preventing our Puppet Sect from falling into a passive and lagging position.

Sun Shang nodded in agreement, his tone tinged with a mixture of emotion and expectation:

"It's really time to replace some of the old-timers in the sect's leadership with some new people. Our thinking is just not keeping up with the times."

Now that I have reached the Peak of the Void Return Realm, I am planning to go into seclusion to break through to the Dao Integration Realm. It is time for me to relinquish this position of Grand Elder.

Only by bringing new members into the sect's leadership can the Puppet Sect gain a foothold in the new era and avoid falling behind.

These words sent a jolt through everyone present.

Sun Shang was always fair in his dealings and had extremely high prestige, earning the deep trust and respect of everyone in the sect.

Upon hearing that he was going to step down, everyone quickly tried to dissuade him:

"Elder, you are the backbone of our Puppet Sect. The sect is in dire need of manpower right now, how can we do without you!"

"Elder, the sect cannot do without your presence. Please reconsider!"

Sun Shang gently shook his head, his tone firm. "I am already at the Peak of the Void Return Realm, and breaking through to the Dao Integration Realm is just around the corner."

According to the sect's rules, once one advances to the Dao Integration Realm, they must relinquish their elder position and become a Supreme Elder.

"By stepping down early, I can allow the new generation to take over as soon as possible, helping the Puppet Sect keep up with the times. At the same time, I can focus on preparing for my breakthrough without any distractions."

Seeing that Sun Shang was determined to withdraw, Cao Xuan stopped trying to persuade him and said in a deep voice:

"Since Elder Sun has made up his mind, then let us grant his wish."

Our Puppet Sect leadership really needs to select some outstanding talents to join in order to keep up with the times.

He paused slightly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, and then said firmly:

"Elder Zhong's suggestion just now hit the nail on the head. From now on, our Puppet Sect will focus on three main directions:"

Firstly, we will continue to optimize and upgrade the mechs and mechanical puppets;

Secondly, we will continue to delve into technologies that endow inanimate objects with intelligence, and simultaneously improve control methods;

Third, explore new fields and conduct specialized research and development of War Weapons.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present nodded and echoed in unison, "Sect Leader is wise! We have no objections!"

Inside the Blood Devil Secret Realm, Liu Yi sensed that Bai Qianqian had emerged from seclusion, so he also ended his own seclusion and stepped out of the stone house.

He looked Bai Qianqian up and down, a smile playing on his lips, "It seems you've not only fully recovered from your injuries, but your cultivation has also improved."

"Big brother has such discerning eyes."

Bai Qianqian's eyebrows curved into a smile as she pointed to a grove of Bloodline Fruit in the distance, her tone full of admiration.

"Big brother is truly amazing! He even thought of planting Bloodline Fruit to earn Energy Points. No wonder you never lack Energy Points."

Liu Yi laughed loudly, "Bloodline Fruit are already rare treasures that cultivators can hardly obtain, especially martial arts cultivators."

After cultivating to the Great Dao Body and giving birth to offspring, using this fruit to temper their bloodline will enhance their cultivation aptitude.

It will definitely be very popular, which will allow you to earn a huge amount of Energy Points.

He paused slightly, then invited, "Come with me into my Portable Daoist Sanctum. Little Yellow has been in seclusion for so long; it's about time he came out."

Having said that, he led Bai Qianqian into her Portable Daoist Sanctum.

No sooner had I stepped inside than an arrogant voice rang in my ears:

"Haha! I really am a genius dog!"

Now, having broken through to the Mid-stage Divine Acupoint Realm, he has condensed 215 Divine Aperture.

Who in the world has more than me?

I'm going to be the ancestor of all dogs!

Bai Qianqian chuckled at the familiar tone, a wave of warmth washing over her.

"Little Yellow is still as funny as ever; he hasn't changed a bit over the years."

Liu Yi chuckled awkwardly, "Little Yellow is still so narcissistic; it must have picked up bad habits on the system's social media platform. I'll go teach it a lesson."

Before he finished speaking, he appeared in Little Yellow's room in a flash.

Little Yellow, wearing brightly colored floral pants, stood with his front legs on his hips and his back legs pushing off the ground, spitting as he boasted to himself.

Seeing its narcissistic expression, Liu Yi couldn't help but slap it on the head.

"You vain Little Yellow! Who taught you that?"

Little Yellow cried out in pain, clutching its head and jumping up, blurting out, "I learned it from you, Master! I..."

It had barely finished speaking when it suddenly realized it had misspoke, and immediately pounced forward to hug Liu Yi's leg, rubbing its head against his trouser leg affectionately.

"Master, master! I misspoke! I didn't learn it from you!"

Liu Yi patted its head again and said irritably:

"You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth! Don't slander me out of thin air; I'm a respectable person!"

Little Yellow nodded vigorously, fawningly saying, "Master is right! It's all my fault!"

Seeing its sincere remorse, Liu Yi waved his hand. "It's good that you know you're wrong. Qianqian is here, hurry up and come with me to see her."

As soon as he finished speaking, Little Yellow immediately dashed out of the room and ran towards Bai Qianqian.
