Chapter 470 Transformation

After drawing one gold and three silvers, Lu Ang finally arrived at the Shangtong Fairy City in the Jiqiao Domain.

It was still the same as before. Looking down from the sky, the whole city seemed alive, with various buildings rising and falling, constantly changing their shapes, and various huge puppet beasts swimming and playing in the air...

If it weren't for the obvious wood texture on the buildings and puppets, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a cyberpunk world.

As soon as the Dream Journey Flying Boat docked, Lu Ang got off the boat with a few Yuanying Daoist friends he had just met. Most of these people were merchants from various fairy realms. They transported the specialties of their respective fairy realms to the largest production and manufacturing base in the entire fairy cultivation world for sale. According to them, the prices would be much higher.

After listening to their stories of getting rich and completing the entry registration, Lu Ang said goodbye to them, found an empty alley, restored his original appearance, and once again walked into the majestic equipment-making building of Mo Men.

He took out the jade token that Mo Men had given him last time. Soon, the surrounding scenery changed and turned into the same room as last time. Even the humanoid puppet looked the same as last time.

Obviously, this tall building itself should also be a large and extraordinary magical instrument, and it also has the function of recording customer data.

As soon as they arrived at the reception room, before Lu Ang could speak, the beautiful soft cloud puppet spoke first: "Please wait a moment, your message has been sent back to the headquarters, and Elder Shen Lian is on his way."

After saying this, he waved his hand, and a wine pot and six side dishes appeared on the silk table. The hospitality was very organized.

Although the Mo Men sect had always had a good reputation and Lu Ang was not afraid of them poisoning him, he did not want to eat these things. He just sat down on the chair and waited quietly without asking any more questions.

I really want to know what the Strike Freedom Gundam has become after they modified it, and whether it can fight against the Return to Void.

But no matter how you think about it, the reality-based Gundam has only that upper limit. It's unlike those fantasy-based Gundams, such as Butouden, EVA, or Gurren Lagann. They have too many limitations, and no matter how much they are modified, there is still a limit.

After waiting for about half an hour, Elder Shen Lian in a red robe and white beard appeared in the room, looking the same as before.

He looked Lu Ang up and down, his eyes slightly suspicious, and his tone was a little uncertain: "You...how did you become a Nascent Soul?"

"Of course I have my opportunities." Lu Ang didn't want to explain to him. He couldn't explain it clearly. He just took out the black wooden sign that the leader of the Mo Sect had given him. "It's been three years. I wonder how the magic weapon I commissioned your sect to modify is going?"

Seeing the wooden sign, Elder Shen Lian confirmed the identity several times with red light flashing in his eyes. He said, "Your magic weapon, the long gun, has been transformed. After many tests, it is now a third-grade magic weapon. It can kill enemies ten miles away. It is extremely powerful..."

As he spoke, he opened his right hand, and a silver-white sniper rifle with red copper color appeared in his hand. A palm-sized red crystal was inlaid on the handle of the gun, emitting a scorching breath.

This is the second-order Heimdall I Gauss sniper rifle prototype that was used to test Mo Men's craftsmanship last time. I didn't expect that after their modification, it could be upgraded!
Of course, its appearance has also changed a lot. At first glance, you can tell that it is no longer powered by the original high-energy battery, but has become powered by the red crystal. The dense magic array patterns on the gun body also make its originally monotonous silver-white gun body more gorgeous.

Elder Shen Lian was still introducing: "We have also imitated its original supply mode, which is a small-power continuous shot and a concentrated energy mode that requires the concentration of mana. Moreover, this Fire Cloud Crystal can store a total of twelve concentrated energy bombs. The fastest one can fire two with a snap of the fingers. Moreover, even foundation-building cultivators can use it. If you attack from a long distance, you can injure or even kill Jindan cultivators of different levels..."

After taking the sniper rifle and feeling it for a while, Lu Ang was sure that this sniper rifle was indeed as he said, it had been modified very well and the effect was unexpectedly good.

Unfortunately, he no longer has any use for a magic weapon of this level. A random blow from the Purple Lightning Hammer is more powerful than those energy bombs. He can only reward it to disciples of the sect who have made meritorious services in the future.

"How many spirit stones does this cost?" Lu Ang didn't intend to get it for free, so he asked the price directly.

"Well... then give 150... uh, no, the customer just gives some spiritual materials." It was obvious that Elder Shen Lian still remembered that he had high-level materials and chose to maximize profits.

Lu Ang randomly picked out three third-level spirit stone minerals from the ring and handed them over. These were all collected by the Dayu court from various major magical families in recent years. They had also been appraised by the auction house and were undoubtedly third-level materials, leaving no chance for the other party to pick up a bargain.

Elder Shen Lian took two of them and pushed the other one back: "These two are enough."

Putting away the sniper rifle, Lu Ang went straight to the point: "How is my large puppet?"

"This... is a long story." Elder Shen Lian looked serious and a little embarrassed.

Lu Ang's heart skipped a beat and his brows furrowed slightly, but his tone remained calm: "It's okay. I have plenty of time. You can start from the beginning."

Elder Shen Lian began to explain: "We in Mo Sect attach great importance to your giant weapon. Ju Zi himself is very interested in it. Many other elders have also dropped their work to help. We in Mo Sect also have some foundation. We are not afraid of wasting all kinds of spiritual materials and have transferred them all to carry out experiments..."

"It wasn't smooth at the beginning. After all, this Giant God Soldier is too huge. This kind of hugeness is different from those large puppets. This Giant God Soldier has too many parts and materials that no one has ever seen before. We can't replace them roughly. We can only analyze them one by one to figure out what these parts are used for and why they are made of that material."

"To be honest, it is much more difficult than modifying this long gun. Fortunately, several batches of similar creations have arrived from the outer sea. Through the analysis and imitation of these small creations, we have gradually accumulated some experience, and the progress of analyzing your Colossus has been greatly accelerated."

"Later, Lord Juzi gave the initial transformation plan and chose to modify the material at all costs. The materials of the Giant God Soldier, especially the outer armor, were all changed to a fusion of multiple fifth-order spirit golds and sixth-order spirit golds. Not only can it resist most attack spells below the sixth order, but it can also have great defensive capabilities against sixth-order spells, and it can also self-repair by devouring other spirit golds." "In addition, we also replaced the pipes and joints under the outer armor with the best demon materials, and optimized the original design of the Giant God Soldier to a certain extent, greatly increasing its movement agility, making its movement speed absolutely no less than that of a fifth-order peak body cultivator. Coupled with its huge size, even a powerful cultivator with magical powers such as the Law of Heaven and Earth will not be at a disadvantage."

"However, regarding the next transformation, there have been some disagreements among our elders. The disagreement lies in the way this giant god soldier should be used. One faction believes that this powerful giant god soldier should be controlled remotely by the user like those powerful puppets, or injected with the souls of powerful monsters to allow it to attack autonomously."

"The other faction believes that it should be used just like its original function, allowing those with low strength, or even mortal warriors, to control this giant divine weapon and fight against high-level cultivators, or even cultivators in the Return to Void Realm. They proposed to find a way to increase the capabilities of the optical computer inside so that it can better assist the controller in combat."

"Of course, I belong to the second type. After all, when you came to us, you were just a foundation-building cultivator. If you followed the first plan, with your spiritual power, how could you possibly control the soul of a sixth-level monster and use this giant weapon?"

"After all, this thing is not our own thing. In the end, it still has to serve the needs of our customers. Fortunately, Juzi and I have the same idea. In the end, my faction won a great victory. The final plan was formulated by Juzi himself. He wanted to make a real magic weapon that allows low-level cultivators to cross three or even four or five levels to defeat powerful enemies."

"But the concept is good, but it's not that easy to formulate. We can find a way to improve the defense, speed, and flexibility of this giant god soldier to the Return to Void level. The same goes for its weapons. With all kinds of high-level spiritual materials thrown at it, combined with its original abilities, it won't be difficult to transform them into magic weapons that can threaten Return to Void cultivators."

"It's also very simple to protect the driver. By continuously strengthening the cockpit's defenses and adding the amplification of the formation, it won't be difficult for it to resist a Return to Void-level attack for an hour. Even attacks from the divine consciousness, soul, curse, and void can be resisted!"

"The key lies in the operation! No matter how strong we build up the strength of this giant god soldier, it will be useless if the driver can't react to keep up with the speed of the Return to Void Venerable. Especially those Return to Void Venerables, who doesn't know dozens of escape methods? You can't even see them, so how can you talk about attacking them?"

"This problem put all of us in a dilemma. Of course, we have also thought about modifying that magical optical computer. It is indeed magical. In terms of computing power alone, it is not much worse than the Tianyantai, the treasure of our sect. It is truly a rare thing. Unfortunately, after fiddling with it for a long time, we still haven't found a way to copy it, let alone strengthen it."

"Also, I've thought about injecting the souls of completely domesticated and completely dead monsters as an aid, along with that magical optical computer, to help the driver find the enemy, lock onto the enemy, and attack, making the driver's operation more convenient."

"But the problem remains. Even if it is a blank slate, a completely obedient demon beast soul, it is extremely difficult to control it with the consciousness of a low-level driver. It's not that it is impossible to control it, but it consumes a lot of energy. Often, within a few breaths, the consciousness of the foundation-building driver will be completely consumed, and eventually the sea of ​​consciousness will be impacted, turning him into a fool."

"Even the Golden Core can't last for about twenty breaths. The Nascent Soul may last longer, but it's meaningless. If a Return to Void Venerable can see through the truth and want to delay time, they have countless ways to exhaust your consciousness."

"According to Juzi, the real meaning of this giant soldier is only long-term driving combat without consumption. Other tricks are useless."

"Later, we tried many other methods, such as artificial meridians. Through the practice of special exercises, we allowed the driver's spiritual power to assimilate with the spiritual power flowing in the body of the Giant God Soldier, turning it into our own body and achieving complete control. It was successful, but the reaction was still too slow. The driver's original reaction speed was still the same, and it was simply not suitable for actual combat. The damage to the meridians was too great, and it could not be used for a long time."

"There is also the divine consciousness interweaving method. We specially found the five brothers of the quintuplets and trained them with the divine consciousness secret method. With their natural empathy, we expanded the cockpit and let them control a part of the giant god soldier respectively. The effect this time was quite good, but after repeated tests, the old problem still exists. Although the reaction has improved a lot, it is still far from returning to the void. The divine consciousness secret method is also difficult to practice. For someone like you, we can't let you practice the art of clones, right? Maintaining a clone also consumes a lot of spiritual power and divine consciousness."

"We have tried many methods repeatedly, but the problem has not been solved. We have to give up temporarily. In addition, the demons in the north have made some unusual movements. They are afraid that the defense line will be breached, so they beg Juzi to bring people to repair the magic circle and the domain defense magic weapon. The transformation of the giant god soldier can only be temporarily stopped."

"But the puppet faction still refuses to give up. They want to wait for the giant to come back and then attack us. As our faction has wasted too much manpower and resources without any results, they want to change the transformation plan and use the giant god soldier directly as a giant puppet god soldier..."

……

After listening to his long introduction, Lu Ang finally understood Gaoda's current situation.

It's very simple. The plan is not mature yet and the products have not been modified yet. Of course, they cannot be delivered for the time being.

Come to think of it, in the world of cultivation, it is not uncommon for a magic weapon to take several years, even more than ten years, decades, or even hundreds of years to refine. The Mo Sect is relatively efficient, having tested so many plans in just three years.

Actually, Lu Ang didn't have to drive the Gundam himself to kill everyone. The memory of being smashed to pieces by Fei Pengzi who rushed into the cockpit and hit him in the previous flashback simulation still remained in his mind, and he couldn't bear to look back.

If the Gundam is truly made into a beast soul puppet and given a command, it will act freely according to the command and attack the enemy. This would be a good choice and a good thing to serve as the foundation of a sect.

When I ascend to heaven, I will leave this thing in the sect. Even if the sect is in decline, those ordinary Return to Void cultivators may not dare to bully me.

Of course, it is true that he dislikes this thing because of its weak combat power. But to be honest, Lu Ang is no longer afraid of those who have returned to the Void. Unless he encounters a lot of them at once, it is still easy to deal with them by using various means and using Chaos as a trump card.

The world of film and television is lacking such high-end talents every day.

So, after a little hesitation, Lu Ang made a decision: "In this case, it doesn't matter if you transform it according to the puppet method, as long as I can fully control it."

"Ah?" Elder Shen Lian was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted: "Yes, a child of destiny like you will surely be able to ascend to the Return to Void realm soon, and you don't need this thing to protect you."

After a pause, he changed the subject: "How about this, you don't need this thing, why don't you sell it to me?"
