Siheyuan, my new life

Zhou Xuan casually continued, "Out of curiosity, I once visited a level-five technological plane world called Eminencesteinsis. I saw with my own eyes the space fortresses and interstellar warships that my second brother just mentioned. I also once hid in the void and watched the scene of the conflict and fighting between the Eminencesteinsis plane world and another adjacent technological plane world. To be honest, the large-caliber laser cannons equipped on those space fortresses and interstellar warships are indeed quite powerful. If several space fortresses and interstellar warships were to concentrate their firepower, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would probably be in danger of perishing. However, this requires a prerequisite, that is, the target Great Luo Golden Immortal is restricted to a fixed position and can only withstand the attack by relying on his own magic weapon and cultivation."

At this point, Zhou Xuan's face revealed a hint of sarcasm: "Anyone who has cultivated to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm possesses considerable combat experience. Who would be foolish enough to stand there and directly withstand a barrage of laser cannon fire? A simple teleportation would likely be enough to escape the firing range, allowing for a piecemeal attack. Even the most sturdy space fortresses and interstellar warships cannot withstand a blow from behind by a magical artifact. Each space fortress covers at least tens or hundreds of square kilometers, with some giant fortresses covering thousands of square kilometers. Such massive structures cannot be constructed using high-grade materials. Out of curiosity, I once infiltrated a security center in the Eminence-Stansis technology world..." The highest-level laboratory discovered that the so-called memory metal used to construct space fortresses and interstellar warships was merely a nickel-titanium alloy, not even in the same league as the materials used to forge magical artifacts. To give a more concrete comparison, it could at most reach the strength required to forge mid-to-high-level magical artifacts. However, it must be admitted that even reaching the level of forging mid-to-high-level magical artifacts is quite impressive. After all, constructing a large space fortress would require hundreds of millions of tons of that memory metal alone. Therefore, the metal refining and processing capabilities of these technological worlds are commendable. I examined the highest-level armor in the Eminence-Stansis technological world in that laboratory; its defensive capabilities should be comparable to, or even surpass, high-grade magical artifacts.

The other guardians nodded slightly after hearing this. The materials needed to refine a top-grade magic weapon are only a dozen or so. Apart from the main material, which requires a few kilograms or tens of kilograms, the other auxiliary materials are calculated in ounces. However, if you think about building a large space fortress covering thousands of square kilometers, the memory metal alone would require hundreds of millions of tons. If it were the materials for refining a top-grade magic weapon, even in their heyday, it would probably not be an easy task to gather such a quantity of materials.

Zhou Tian put down his teacup and smiled calmly: "Although we haven't found the real mastermind yet, it's easy to guess that it's definitely related to that 'worm' underground. After all, that worm has devoured the world will of the Blue Star plane, which can be considered a form of merging with the Dao. Although this worm is deliberately targeted by the Great Dao of this universe because of its devouring of the world will of the Blue Star plane, and dares not openly appear, this worm has never been content to live a life of hiding underground like a rat. This guy went to great lengths to use deception to first seize the innate five elements body of this plane, then gradually improve the cultivation of this body, and finally use this innate five elements body to devour the world will of the Blue Star plane, thereby avoiding the targeting of the Great Dao of this universe, and then attempting to ascend to the upper realm. If he did that, even if he ascended to the upper realm, he would become a force to be reckoned with. Unfortunately, he was too clever for his own good." "It can only be said that the worm named Xing Lan was too greedy. He attempted to seize the body of a hundred-generation innate Five Elements Body, thus deliberately manipulating dozens of generations of innate Five Elements Body to cause premature and untimely deaths. However, what this guy never expected was that our master's unintentional act completely extinguished this worm's fantasy. Our master occupied the body of Lin Yu, who had just sacrificed himself on the Northern Dynasty battlefield, thus ending that worm's delusional ambitions. According to my analysis, Lin Yu, who possessed the innate Five Elements Body and sacrificed himself on the Northern Dynasty battlefield, was probably also controlled by that worm underground. He cannot directly target such a unique being as the innate Five Elements Body, otherwise he would be severely punished by the Great Dao of this universe. However, with the current capabilities of the Blue Star plane's world will, it is quite easy for him to create a little accident and kill someone by proxy. Even if the Great Dao of this universe notices, it cannot pursue the matter, after all, it was not this worm who did it personally."

Several guardians nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, remaining silent. Zhou Tian continued, "I was fortunate enough to receive an imperial decree from Master Qinglian Daoist. Qinglian Daoist originally intended for Master to achieve success in his cultivation in this Blue Star plane world and then ascend to immortality. However, at that time, he was unaware of the matter of that 'worm' underground. It was only later, through Hongmeng Daoist of the Great Dao of the Universe, that he learned of this matter. In order not to affect Master's cultivation, he specially sent me an imperial decree. Because the Blue Star plane world had suffered deliberate destruction from that 'worm' underground, almost all of it..." Some spiritual veins have been completely destroyed. Even if one ascends to the upper realm, it will require a huge cost to repair them. Therefore, I was instructed to inform the master at the appropriate time that once his cultivation reaches the Tribulation Transcending stage, he should ascend directly to the upper realm. He must not delay his own cultivation progress in order to deliberately seek ascension to the upper realm. After receiving the decree from Daoist Qinglian, in order to prevent that scoundrel underground from causing trouble and taking some underhanded measures against the master, Zhou Di and I made a special trip to the palace where that scoundrel underground resided and gave him a warning.

Zhou Huang asked, somewhat puzzled, "Big brother, with your and second brother's strength, even if that bug has already devoured the world will of the Blue Star plane, completely annihilating it would only be a matter of putting in a little more effort. How could you possibly tolerate that bug continuing to exist?"

Zhou Di snorted: "That bug has been punished by the Great Dao of this universe, and his cultivation has only been suppressed to the early stage of Great Saint. Even if my elder brother doesn't take action, I can handle a bug with such a cultivation level. However, Daoist Qinglian reminded me that this guy named Xing Lan is an inner disciple of the Qingyun Sect in the Upper Realm. The Qingyun Sect has considerable strength in the Upper Realm. In order to avoid causing trouble for my master after his ascension to the Upper Realm, they spared this guy's life."
