Mu An on the Offensive

"Technology Assistance System? What's that?"

Having weathered a lifetime of storms, Mu An had long since learned to remain calm even when Mount Tai collapsed before him.

So at this moment, he felt no tension, only curiosity.

Are they Demon Race?

Now, my mental capacity has declined significantly, and even with my high talent in formations, I can no longer provide much help to the Cultivation Realm.

What is the purpose of the Demon Race seeking me out?

"Don't worry, I'm not Demon Race! I'm Technology Assistance System, my mission is to guide the inheritors in developing technology!"

"Technology? What's that? Is it some kind of magic?"

"No! Technology and cultivation are completely different! They are different power systems!"

"Another power system? Can it defeat the Demon Race?"

For Mu An, who has already seen through life and death, resolving the crisis of the Demon Race is now his only obsession.

So that was his first reaction.

"Uncertain!"

"Uncertain? If it can, it can; if it can't, it can't. How can it be uncertain?"

"It's just uncertain, like cultivating immortality! Can cultivating immortality defeat the Demon Race?"

The system's question immediately stumped Mu An.

Yes, can cultivating immortality defeat the Demon Race?

Ordinary cultivators naturally couldn't do it, and even he, who had mastered the combined attack formation, didn't know if Heavenly Immortal could defeat Demon Race.

However, it is undeniable that if one's strength is sufficient, one can certainly defeat the Demon Race.

But what kind of strength qualifies as powerful?

He didn't know!

Is he True Immortal? Golden Immortal? Daluo Golden Immortal? Or perhaps the legendary strongest being of this world, the Immortal Emperor?

At this moment, Mu An understood what the uncertainty the Technology Assistance System meant.

"You mean, as long as the technology you're talking about is powerful enough, it's possible to defeat the Demon Race!"

This time, the Technology Assistance System did not respond, but instead generated a scene directly in Mu An's mind.

The image shows an enormous headless giant moving around in a very dark environment.

He was surrounded by countless bizarre creatures.

Although he had never seen Demon Race before, Mu An knew at first glance that those creatures were undoubtedly Demon Race.

Because he had learned about it from the ancient texts of the immortal sects.

Although the illustrations in the classic texts were not as lifelike as those in reality, he was still quite certain.

Under Mu An's watchful gaze, every movement of the headless giant was accompanied by the death of Demon Race!

These seemingly powerful Demon Race were no match for the giants.

It was quickly cleared away.

Yet, the giant showed no signs of fatigue.

"This... this is technology?"

At this moment, Mu An was so shocked that he could hardly speak.

Compared to the headless giant in his mind, the formations he had researched seemed as childish as children playing house.

He was unsure whether his combined attack formation could withstand the arrival of the Demon Race.

But he knew that the giant in his mind could definitely do it.

"That's right, that's the power of technology! And it's just the tip of the iceberg!"

"What?"

Mu An was unusually absent from the Immortal Sect that day; he needed enough time to process the Technology Assistance System.

This situation terrified the sect leader of the immortal sect.

He thought the array master had passed away in his sleep.

So he flew to where Mu An lived.

Unexpectedly, from afar they saw Mu An sitting leisurely in his small courtyard.

A rare, radiant smile appeared on his face.

Master Mu! What joyous occasion has made you so happy?

Since everyone has already arrived, it wouldn't be appropriate not to say hello.

So the sect leader of the immortal sect decisively came to Mu An's side and asked with a smile.

"Have you developed another new formation?"

"Sect Master, you jest. I'm already this old; what kind of formations could I possibly create? I'm just passing the time! Oh, by the way, you've come at the perfect time! I have something I'd like to ask you!"

"You're too kind! Please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything!"

Seeing that the sect leader had said this, Mu An no longer stood on ceremony.

"I remember there were several abandoned hills behind the sect!"

"Yes, is that what you want?"

"Could you give me those hilltops? I want to spend my last few years there in peace and quiet, preferably without anyone bothering me!"

The sect leader found Mu An's words very strange.

The place that has been arranged for Mu An is so much better than the one behind the mountain, and she is rarely disturbed.

But since Master Mu has made a request, he can't possibly refuse to fulfill it.

So the sect leader simply waved his hand and designated several hilltops as forbidden areas.

No one may enter without his order as the sect leader.

That afternoon, accompanied by the sect leader, Mu An arrived in the village.

Then they immediately issued an order to the sect leader to leave.

Although I don't understand why, making Master Mu happy is probably the most important thing.

The sect leader could only leave with a heart full of doubts.

Mu An quickly chose a cave and went to its deepest part.

Looking at the empty cave, he nodded in satisfaction and immediately activated the Technology Assistance System.

At this moment, outside this planet, something resembling a water droplet seems to have received some kind of signal.

Vanished instantly.

Mu An only felt a blur before his eyes, and something like a water droplet appeared in front of him and began to melt.

As the water droplet's outer shell completely melted, a very ordinary square box appeared before Mu An. Then, aided by the liquid produced after the melting, it gradually sank into the earth until it disappeared completely.

"Is activation complete?"

"The Technology Assistance System has been activated! Please begin researching level 1 technologies and unlock subsequent technology trees!"

Mu An couldn't understand a single word the Technology Assistance System used.

Fortunately, the Technology Assistance System is quite mindless.

As long as the available resources meet the requirements, research and development can proceed directly.

The liquid formed from the melting water droplets, under the control of the Technology Assistance System, transformed into underground minecarts, constantly traversing beneath the immortal gate to collect the resources needed for first-level technology.

One day later!

"Resource collection complete! Shall we begin research and development of the multi-functional industrial machine?"

Two days later!

"Multi-functional industrial machine tool development completed! Resources are currently sufficient! Shall we begin development of the multi-functional furnace?"

One month later!

"Pangu Robot development complete! Resources are currently sufficient! Shall we begin development of the V2 lithography machine?"

One year later!

"Controlled nuclear Arc Reactor development complete! Level 1 technology development complete! Level 2 technology tree unlocking! Level 2 technology tree unlocked! Warning! Insufficient resources. Please gather sufficient resources to proceed with Level 2 technology tree development!"

In just one year, with the help of Technology Assistance System, Mu An accomplished what Yi Xuan had taken years, or even decades, to achieve.
