Free Web NovelChapter 8873: Chess piece (1)
To be honest, Zhao Hai didn’t like this feeling, because it made him feel very powerless. He felt like he was a chess piece being manipulated by someone. He didn’t like this feeling, the feeling of not being able to control his own fate. However, he knew that he had no way to change this situation. His current strength was not enough to let him jump out of the chessboard. He could only be a chess piece, and he had to be a good chess piece. Otherwise, he might be abandoned.
Zhao Hai knew very well that from the moment he appeared in this world, he had been branded. He was a member of the self-cultivation world and an enemy of the Shadow Realm. Although he could surrender to the Shadow Realm, Zhao Hai could not do it. He would rather stay in the self-cultivation world because he knew very well that if he surrendered to the Shadow Realm, he would always be regarded as a traitor on the other side of the Shadow Realm. He would not end well.
Therefore, he could only stay in the cultivation world. He believed that as long as he kept getting stronger, he would be more and more valued. In the end, he would know what this game of chess was about. Maybe he could even participate and become the one playing the chess.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. Then, he looked around and returned to the Black Tortoise Island to continue his closed-door cultivation. He had to familiarize himself with his power as soon as possible because he was very clear that if he wanted to fight the giant behind the shadow Realm, he had to be familiar with his power. Only by fully familiarizing himself with his power could he possibly fight the giant. Otherwise, he would only die.
Zhao Hai had only just realized that knowing the truth could sometimes be a very painful thing. If he didn’t know anything, he might have had an easier time. However, compared to that kind of relaxation, he preferred the current situation. He was not someone who gave up easily. He wanted to use his own efforts to change the current situation. He believed that he could do it, so he had to work hard. Double the effort.
While Zhao Hai was cultivating in seclusion, Wen Yuming and the others had already begun the second step of making a large-scale magic weapon. The trial of a large-scale magic weapon was divided into three steps. The first step was to make the mold, then make a small-scale magic weapon of the same scale. Finally, they could make a real large-scale magic weapon.
The purpose of making a model was to see if there were any parts that needed special attention and improvement during the making of such a large-scale celestial device. Then, he could make a smaller celestial device of the same scale to test if the celestial device really had so many uses. After that, he could make improvements to the celestial device and finally make a real large-scale celestial device to ensure the success of the making of the large-scale celestial device.
It was not easy to make a large-scale celestial device. Just refining it was not a simple task. For example, those who had made large-scale celestial devices in the sea exploration sect could not guarantee that they could successfully refine every large-scale celestial device, so there were so many steps.
Wen Yuming and the others were actually making models of those magic tools. Perhaps in some people’s eyes, this was completely unnecessary. Weren’t magic tools already finalized? Why did he make a model? In fact, this was to let people see this large magic artifact more directly. They wanted to see its appearance and internal structure to see if there was anything unreasonable. If there was really something unreasonable, they would have to make improvements.
It was not easy to design and make a celestial device. Although these celestial devices all had magic formations, the outer shape and internal structure of the celestial device were also very important. Whether the outer shape of the celestial device was easier to make, whether it was easier to make magic formations inside, whether it was more in line with the principles of mechanics, whether the celestial device could withstand attacks such as impact and falling, all of these were very important. No matter what shape a large celestial device was designed to be, They were all celestial devices and could attack. They might even collide with the enemy’s large celestial device or attack the enemy’s formation. At this time, collision and smashing were the most common moves of large celestial devices. If the design was not good, one attack could damage the large celestial device, which was not something people could bear.
Large celestial devices were not small celestial devices. It was easy to make them, and the materials used were few. Large celestial devices were too big, so it was not easy to make them. They needed a lot of materials. If it were an ordinary force, they would have to empty all their resources to make a few. Therefore, they had to be very careful when making large celestial devices. They wanted to succeed on the first try. Even if they succeeded on the first try, they must succeed on the second try. Then, everyone who participated in the refinement would be punished.
Although the blood slaughter sect was now a big sect, they wouldn’t waste it casually. Otherwise, they would be punished. Fortunately, they had the reality illusion realm. However, although the reality illusion realm was almost as real as the outside world, it was only almost the same. It was still impossible to achieve the same reality as the outside world. Therefore, Wen Yuming and the others were still very careful and didn’t dare to be careless.
Wen Yuming and the others were actually making models now. They just wanted to see if the current celestial devices ’designs were reasonable and if there was anything that needed to be improved. Of course, this model wasn’t made randomly. If it was really made randomly, there was no need to make it. There might not be any arrays engraved on this model, but in other aspects, it had to be exactly the same as a real celestial device. Of course, it had to be reduced to the same scale.
This wasn’t difficult for cultivators. It didn’t take long for Wen Yuming and the others to complete the model. Then, they began to carry out various experiments on these models. It was nothing more than to see if the person was the standard to enter, if the position of the weapon was suitable, and if it would affect the battle. In the process of the experiment, all the data had to be recorded and then modified. Then, they would experiment again, and finally, the model could be truly finalized.
After the shape was fixed, it was time to make a second one. This time, it was still a magic weapon of the same proportion, but it had to be engraved with a magic formation. Then, it would be tested to see the attack power, speed, and defense of the magic weapon. After the test, the detailed data would be recorded and then improved.
These two tasks took up a lot of Wen Yuming and the others ’time. Fortunately, the bloody massacre sect had already formed their own routine of upgrading their disciples’ life-bound magical artifacts. They didn’t need to keep an eye on them. Hence, they could focus all their attention on this matter. As for the matter of upgrading the blood slaughter sect’s life-bound magical weapon, it was all handed over to Hu Wei and the others.
Although Hu Wei did not look like much, she was a very meticulous person. Although she was not a member of the divine Secrets Hall, because of Zhang Hongliang, she was considered half a member of the divine Secrets Hall. In addition, he was now in charge of the collection of soul seals, so he had to cooperate with the divine Secrets Hall. There would not be any problems if this matter was handed to her.
Many of the disciples of the bloody massacre sect were now upgrading their life-bound magical treasures. Of course, there were also some people who were training their use of their incarnations in the illusionary realm every day. After some people finished their training, they would be sent to the line of defense at the border to prepare for the possible attack from the Shadow Realm.
The reason for this was because the Shadow Realm had recently made a move. The Shadow Realm’s line of defense had increased in number. This was not good news for the blood slaughter sect. Therefore, the blood slaughter sect had also increased the number of troops at the line of defense. Furthermore, the soldiers who were originally guarding the line of defense had all been withdrawn. The soldiers who were sent over now were all soldiers who had undergone the upgrade of their life-bound magical artifacts.
Of course, Zhao Hai had also sent some of the upgraded dead spirit clan and alien clan over. Zhao Hai had also noticed that the new soldiers at the Shadow Realm’s defense line seemed to be beast slave soldiers. There was no need to let the disciples of the bloody massacre sect take the risk.
However, Zhao Hai also noticed that the newly transferred beast slave soldiers from the Shadow Realm seemed to be a little different. These beast slave soldiers were completely different from before. These beast slave soldiers were completely red in color. Their muscles were bulging, and they were extremely tall. Their fingers were like hooks, and they had fangs in their mouths. They didn’t look like humans at all. On the contrary, they looked more like wild beasts. Although they didn’t have that much fur, their skin looked like ... From this, it could be seen that these creatures had good defense. Most importantly, Zhao Hai felt something unusual on these beast slave soldiers. However, Zhao Hai had not discovered what was wrong. He would probably only find out when they fought.
It was precisely because of this that Zhao Hai was very careful. With more troops at the defensive line and elder formation there, Zhao Hai had nothing to worry about. He waited quietly for news to see if the Shadow Realm would send these human and beast slaves to attack them. If they did, Zhao Hai wouldn’t be surprised. Although he predicted that the next attack from the Shadow Realm would be very fierce, before they launched their attack, he would have to wait for the news to arrive. It was entirely possible for them to harass and test the waters, so Zhao Hai was not surprised.
However, if it was just an ordinary probe, their defensive line would be able to withstand it. There was no need to worry too much. If the people from the Shadow Realm really attacked, it would not be a bad thing for the bloody massacre sect. They could also see the actual situation of the Shadow Realm from these attacks. They could see whether they really wanted to attack or just probe. At the same time, they also wanted to see if the people from the Shadow Realm had discovered the combat power of their defensive line. From their reactions, he could learn a lot of things. This would be useful for the future war between the two sides. It was also a way to collect information.
