Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 76 Epilogue
The cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi training gathered on the parapet, with more than ten cultivators in the late stage of Qi training as the majority.

And among the cultivators in the late stage of Qi training.

The leaders were Bu Tianran, Ran Zhuyu and Qian Ming.

Perhaps he felt Xie Shen's gaze.

Among them, Bu Tianran suddenly raised his head and looked towards the city wall above. His eyes happened to meet Xie Shen's.

At this moment, Bu Tianran's whole body trembled, and he pretended to kneel down and kowtow.

But Xie Shen waved his hand and released a strong wind, which helped Bu Tianran up from the ground.

He looked down at her and said, "On the battlefield, there is no need for so many etiquettes. Just focus on fighting the enemy!"

"Eh!"

Bu Tianran responded quickly.

He stopped kneeling and just saluted Xie Shen from a distance, saying, "Disciple Bu Tianran, greetings to the ancestor!"

At the same time.

On the stack wall.

The other cultivators who heard Bu Tianran's voice also reacted quickly and saluted Xie Shen together with their fists clasped.

Everyone said in unison: "Greetings to the Grand Ancestor!"

"Ah."

On the city wall, Xie Shen nodded to the monks in response.

In front of all the cultivators, Xie Shen waved his hand again and summoned his natal flying sword magic weapon that was nurtured in his purple mansion, and he flew into the air on the sword.

Seeing the situation, Li Xiu hurriedly reminded Xie Shen: "Don't be anxious yet, let the spiritual light array consume those thalamus sentinels."

"Please wait a little longer."

Since he was waiting, he simply started chatting with Xie Shen.

"Compared to a modified human, it takes significantly longer to train a monk."

"Especially for cultivators in the late stage of Qi training."

"With the same combat power, the resources they consume are at least 5-10 times that of cyborgs."

"But even so, I am still willing to train monks."

"I understand this." Xie Shen said, "After all, the parts of a modified human body require energy and resources to maintain at any time."

“And then they have to recharge.”

“This is another invisible expense.”

"Comparatively, monks have much less trouble."

"It is equivalent to," Xie Shen described, "a one-time investment that results in permanent combat effectiveness."

"Usually, you only need to give them something to eat and drink."

"When the critical moment comes, they can take the weapons and go to the battlefield."

"Yes." Li Xiu continued, "And the most important point is that the growth space for monks is much greater than that for cyborgs."

"If cyborgs want to improve their combat capabilities, they must rely on technological development."

“It’s a very long process.”

"But monks can practice on their own and become stronger and stronger over time."

On the battlefield south of the base.

While Li Xiu and Xie Shen were chatting, more thalamus sentinels rushed forward one after another and were strangled to death by the spiritual light formation.

——The thalamus sentinels charged forward regardless of their lives, causing the light emitted from the spiritual light array to gradually become weaker and weaker.

So Li Xiu said, "It's almost done. If we delay any longer, the spiritual light array may not be able to hold on. You should lead the others!"

"can."

High in the sky.

After Xie Shen responded, he immediately activated the spiritual power in his body and guided it to release all the golden spiritual energy at once.

In an instant, hundreds of golden lightsabers surrounded Xie Shenzhou again.

night sky.

The golden light released by the hundreds of flying swords illuminated the entire surface base as bright as day.

Such magical power immediately boosted the morale of our monks.

"rush!"

On the stack wall.

Following Xie Shen's order, all the cultivators rushed into the battlefield on the south side.

next second.

Xie Shen followed closely behind with his flying sword.

Wherever the flying sword passed, it was like a dead tree or rotten wood, and no thalamic sentinel that was touched survived.

in this way.

It took Xie Shen and other monks less than a quarter of an hour to get close to the thalamus core.

The battle instantly entered a white-hot stage.

There was no hesitation.

The monks on the field used various methods, either using guns or casting spells. In just a moment, all the thalamus cores were blasted into a pool of minced meat.

at the same time.

Xie Shen also controlled countless golden spiritual energies and split the super-giant thalamus core into countless pieces.

——Although the thalamus cores are weak in combat, their vitality is surprisingly tenacious.

on the ground.

Those thalamus cores that had turned into countless pieces of flesh began to wriggle and gather together again, gradually returning to their original state.

During this period, thalamic sentinels would hatch out from time to time, waiting for opportunities to attack the monks who were close by.

Seeing this, Xie Shen hurriedly ordered: "Keep your distance, and then continue to use magic to deal with them."

At this point in the battle, the monks' advantages were evident:
If it were a cyborg or a mecha, such a long battle would inevitably exhaust all the energy in its body.

But the monks are different.

They can absorb spiritual power from the natural environment while fighting, and can even take out the elixirs they carry with them to replenish their own consumption.

Therefore, in a protracted war, the monks are far ahead of the mechanical troops.

The battle lasted from late night until the early hours of the morning.

By dawn, all the thalamus cores, including the super-giant thalamus core, finally stopped coming back to life.

Their strength has been completely exhausted.
After the battle, Li Xiu commanded the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and count the casualties of the battle. Let's not talk about the cyborgs and ordinary human soldiers, after all, they can be resurrected through resurrection.

Just talking about monks:

This time, nearly 30 cultivators in the early stage of Qi training died directly at the hands of the thalamic sentinels.

More than 70 other monks chose to commit suicide due to severe injuries in order to refresh themselves.

Then there were the cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training, whose casualties were less than 10.

There were no casualties among the cultivators in the late stage of Qi training.

...

After the super giant thalamus core was killed, the Sentinels were not seen outside the surface base for several months.

This allowed everyone in the base to breathe a sigh of relief.

By the end of 6151, the surface human base was officially renamed "Qingyang Sect".

...

The mountain gate of Qingyang Sect.

On the metal corridor.

"Ancestor, just turn right ahead." Bu Tianran followed behind Xie Shen and gave him directions from time to time.

Except Bu Tianran.

At the end of the team, there were Ran Zhuyu and Qian Ming.

After walking for nearly a hundred steps, the four of them suddenly felt a heat wave coming from the 'Strange Fire Chamber' in front of them.

The sudden rise in temperature made Xie Shen frown unconsciously.

Then, he mobilized the spiritual power in his body to strengthen himself and dispel the heat that made him feel uncomfortable.

"Old Ancestor has great means!"

Seeing Xie Shen using his magical powers, Bu Tianran hurriedly followed suit and activated the spiritual power in his body.

next second.

He only felt a cool air spreading from his purple palace to his limbs and bones.

——As expected of a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training, Bu Tianran learned Xie Shen’s spell to dispel heat after only one look.

"good."

Xie Shen saw it and praised: "You learned the 'Heart Purification Mantra' after just one look. Your comprehension can be considered above average."

"You are too kind, ancestor." After hearing this, Bu Tianran quickly followed suit and said modestly.

Conversation room.

The four of them had turned the corner and were in a sealed metal room with five bonfires burning.

A ventilation duct dedicated to ventilation is installed above the metal room.

There were two cultivators in the early stage of Qi training in charge of guarding the five burning bonfires.

When the two saw Xie Shen coming, they hurriedly bowed to him and said, "Disciple Feng Qianyi/Quanshan, greets Grandmaster Xie Shen and Master Bu."

"Ah."

Inside the room, Xie Shen responded with a light sound, and then looked towards the five bonfires.

At the same time.

Bu Tianran hurriedly introduced: "These are the five balls of 'strange fire' that our sect raises."

"One of them was added last year."

"All in all, I only kept it for about a year."

"As for the other four groups, we started raising them when the surface base was just built."

“It’s been almost four years now.”

"Too slow." Xie Shen stared at the four balls of strange fire for a long time.

He said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone: "These four fires share the same spirit gathering formation?"

"Ah."

Bu Tianran said helplessly: "There is nothing we can do about it."

"After all, there are no spiritual veins near our Qingyang Sect."

"The spiritual energy that the Spirit Gathering Array can gather is only so much."

"Deploying one or four will have the same effect."

"I know that." Xie Shen said calmly, "I don't mean to blame you. I just think the cultivation speed is too slow."

"So, I plan to retreat directly in this room and cultivate the strange fire myself."

Xie Shenchong said to Bu Tianran, "From now on, you will be responsible for arranging all my food, clothing and other expenses. Is that ok?"

——As a cultivator in the late foundation building stage, Xie Shen would not have any problems even if he did not eat or drink for a long time.

but.

Monks are also human beings and have appetites.

Therefore, when conditions allow him to enjoy delicious food, Xie Shen will not actively refuse.

In the strange fire chamber.

Hearing what Xie Shen said, Bu Tianran hurriedly bowed and agreed, taking charge of all the trivial matters.

the end.

He also took the opportunity to ask Xie Shen: "Old Ancestor, may I ask how to cultivate the 'Strange Fire' you just mentioned?"

Xie Shen understood what Bu Tianran meant as soon as he heard it.

He explained: "Remember: there is no shortcut to cultivating strange fire."

"This process is simply a slow process."

"If you send a Qi Refining cultivator to cultivate a strange fire, especially a cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining."

"That will take at least 50 to 100 years."

"The reason is that the spiritual power of the cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage is of low purity and small in total amount."

"But it's different if it's a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

"The spiritual power purity of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is more than ten times that of a Qi Refining cultivator."

Xie Shen finally said: "So if I do it myself, it will take no more than three years for the strange fire to be cultivated."

"Disciple is grateful for your advice." After hearing what Xie Shen said, Bu Tianran, Qian Ming and Ran Zhuyu all looked thoughtful.
