Liang Shi's Progress

On the way back, Yi Xuan discovered that the miniature robots possessing the two Mystic Gate members had lost contact. Yi Xuan had anticipated this situation and could only shake his head helplessly.

After returning to the Azure Cloud Sect with his master, Yi Xuan inevitably faced a barrage of questions from the Supreme Elder and Supreme Elder Li.

Apart from Shi Zhenghao and Junior Sister Ning, no one else in the entire Azure Cloud Sect could ever guess the origin of the Cultivation Method in Yi Xuan's possession, even until their deaths.

No matter how the other two elders questioned him, Yi Xuan simply replied that he had found him in a cave.

Fortunately, Xiao Anhe interrupted their conversation in time, bringing the matter to a close.

Having received such a great benefit from Yi Xuan, the Old Madam and the Supreme Elder Li shared a surprisingly similar opinion with Xiao Anhe: they could not let Yi Xuan suffer any losses.

As for the elders of other sects, since the three supreme leaders of their sects have all spoken, they can only keep their opinions to themselves.

Moreover, Yi Xuan was no longer the easily manipulated boy he was twenty years ago. After the incident at the Gazing Immortal Sect, those elders who had advocated stripping Yi Xuan of his position as the sect leader's successor were in a very difficult position.

He was clearly a useless person, who would have thought he would have a day when he could turn his life around?

From that time on, the sect elders who had targeted Yi Xuan were always extremely cautious whenever they saw him, fearing that Yi Xuan might find something to use against them. The Golden Core Gazing Immortal Sect who had been wiped out were still fresh in their minds.

A person's social standing determines their perspective.

When Yi Xuan was stripped of his position as the sect leader's successor, he harbored deep hatred for those sect elders.

However, since his technology got on track, Yi Xuan's hatred for them gradually faded. To this day, those Golden Core elders are no longer worthy of Yi Xuan's attention.

After getting rid of the other two Supreme Elders with Xiao Anhe's help, Yi Xuan went straight to No. 2 Base.

Before leaving, Yi Xuan also went to the Azure Cloud Sect's Scripture Pavilion and copied all the Cultivation Method therein, preparing to have No. 01 optimize these Cultivation Method in batches later.

Of course, because there are so many Cultivation Method, even a supercomputer that has undergone several rounds of updates would not be able to optimize all of Cultivation Method in just one or two days.

Fortunately, No. 01's performance is powerful enough. Including this Cultivation Method optimization task, Yi Xuan assigned him several huge tasks at the same time, but No. 01 still seems to handle these complex tasks with ease. Of course, this is also inseparable from the assistance of several other artificial intelligences in the Primordial Series.

After spending about half a month at No. 2 Base, Yi Xuan focused his attention on the Seeking Immortality Space Station, while occasionally keeping an eye on the construction of the underwater base and Chu Longcheng, who was meditating on the moon.

As for the images of Chu Longcheng after his ascension, Yi Xuan watched them countless times and even had No. No. 01 analyze them nearly ten thousand times.

Ultimately, they gained nothing. It wasn't No. No. 01's fault; it was simply that Yi Xuan's understanding of this world and universe was insufficient. Moreover, even the Book of Technology was powerless in this matter. For now, Yi Xuan could only slowly explore the mysteries of this universe through the Seeking Immortality Space Station.

Just as Yi Xuan was fully focused on the Seeking Immortality Space Station experiment, news from the Xia Kingdom interrupted Yi Xuan research.

Liang Shi told Yi Xuan that he had made a crucial breakthrough in his technology.

After all, having followed Yi Xuan for so long, the technology that Liang Shi called a key breakthrough was definitely not simple.

Therefore, Yi Xuan immediately went to the capital of the Xia Kingdom.

Although it has only been a little over two months since I left, the capital of the Xia Kingdom has undergone a complete transformation, with many people on the streets even picking up their mobile phones.

Not one of those bulky brick-like phones that can only make calls, but a true smartphone.

Looking at the large-screen smartphones in the hands of passersby, Yi Xuan even felt a little dazed, unsure whether she had really traveled through time.

If it weren't for the internal True Qi flowing within him reminding him, Yi Xuan would have even thought that he had never left Earth and that everything he had experienced in the Cultivation Realm was just his imagination.

Fortunately, there are still some places in the capital that are out of place in a modern city. For example, people occasionally fly overhead, and many old buildings still remain in the city.

Without lingering in the city, Yi Xuan headed straight for the Imperial University.

Liang Shi, who was sitting in the principal's office, was surprised to see Yi Xuan suddenly appear.

When he sent the message to Yi Xuan, he never expected his master to return so quickly.

In his mind, Yi Xuan should still be in the Eternal Sea at this time. Even if he received the news, he would definitely have to deal with the matters in the Eternal Sea first, so it was impossible for him to arrive so quickly.

However, as his apprentice, Liang Shi did not ask any questions, but instead took Yi Xuan to the experimental base he had built at the university.

The two truly lived up to their master-disciple reputation. Yi Xuan had habitually built his base underground because he was worried about being discovered by the cultivators of this world. And by sheer luck, building the base underground actually did have a certain shielding effect against the Divine Sense of cultivators.

Following suit, Liang Shi also planned an underground experimental base at the beginning of the construction of the Imperial University, a habit that can be said to be inherited from Yi Xuan.

Yi Xuan followed Liang Shi and quickly entered the experimental base. The moment the elevator doors opened, Yi Xuan was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

This hall was several times larger than that of No. 2 Base, and it was filled with cultivation chambers, which were used to cultivate all sorts of creatures.

Yi Xuan even saw quite a few humans floating in the incubation chambers.

However, Yi Xuan was not the kind of saint who knew that this was unavoidable on Liang Shi's scientific research path. Moreover, he believed that his apprentice knew what was important and would not cross the line of what is human.

Liang Shi noticed that Yi Xuan had taken a liking to the culture chambers, so he quickly explained, "Master, those human subjects are all death row inmates from the Xia Kingdom, I am..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yi Xuan raised her hand to interrupt him, "I believe you can handle things properly!"

After saying that, he began to look around the rest of the hall.

In this hall, not only were there various robots assisting in experiments, but Yi Xuan also saw many young people dressed in Imperial University uniforms.

It seems these must be the Imperial University students selected by Liang Shi to join his research team. I didn't expect that they would already meet the requirements for entering the laboratory so soon after enrolling.

Seeing that Yi Xuan had not pursued the matter of the human body, Liang Shi did not offer any further explanation.

Instead, he led Yi Xuan deeper into the area, passing through several large doors until they arrived at a place that looked like an observation room.

Upon entering, Yi Xuan immediately saw the projected image in front of him. The creature in the image was completely unfamiliar to the entire Cultivation Realm, but Yi Xuan found it strangely familiar.

He looked at Liang Shi in disbelief. "The Scorpion King?"
