The Elysium Across Deep Space

This thing really knows how to talk to people and adapt to different situations. Wang Xuan really disliked it and almost ripped its head off.

"Stop, don't kill me!" The mechanical bird's metal feathers stood on end. Its whole body was trembling while it pleaded, "Offspring of transcendent, no, I meant majestic young celestial being, please spare me! I have great value to offer you!" exclaimed the bird.

It panicked as it was afraid of being torn apart. It was certain that everyone present could completely destroy it. Wang Xuan looked down at it. This thing couldn't be steamed or roasted, it was just a useless lump of metal. What's more, it had been nagging at him incessantly. He wouldn't be able to ease his anger if he didn't deal with it. Wang Xuan grabbed the bird by the neck and slapped it hard.

The mechanical bird screamed in agony, it was wailing while it flapped its steel wings.However, Wang Xuan was angry at it because its expression seemed exaggerated. One should act convincingly even when selling their misery. It wailed loudly, but Wang Xuan felt that the iron bird was acting no matter how he looked at it.

What kind of pain could a mechanical bird feel?

"I am really in pain. My simulated body is more sophisticated than normal flesh and blood. Its various intricate components give me an incredibly realistic sense of pain. I am so miserable!"

It managed to squeeze out two drops of active metal tears. This time, its expression was less contrived and more genuine.

"What use are you, if you can't even be eaten?" Wang Xuan was still indignant. He had been provoked and mocked by this mechanical bird for a long time. At this moment, he was giving him a lesson or you could also say he was earnestly repairing it.

He plucked out the metal feathers one by one. The feathers made a clunking sound when they hit the ground. In the end, the metal bird was left partially bald. Then, he tied a knot around the bird's neck and turned the bird's head 540 degrees to the rear.

"Do you dare to escape?" Wang Xuan threatened. Because he found that the feathers that fell to the ground turned into liquid. It was seeping into the ground and was trying to escape.

"To the supreme and beautiful celestial maiden, your charm is like the brightest tower in the dark cosmos. It illuminated one civilization after another, making countless epic heroes bow in admiration." The mechanical bird turned its direction and looked pitifully at Fang Yuzhu. It was trying to flatter her. It realized that the vengeful young celestial being wouldn't spare it, no matter how much it tried to soften him.

Seeing that Fang Yuzhu had ignored it, the mechanical bird became anxious and hurriedly added, "I am the intelligence core. I am closely related to this spaceship. I can navigate and operate the spaceship. I am willing to work hard. As long as I'm here, I can handle any task well!"

"Hand over the permissions. I’ll allow you to retain some abilities and the rest of the permissions will be transferred here." Fang Yuzhu took out a strange, cube-like active metal crystal.

The mechanical bird transferred the permissions willingly with cold metal tears in its eyes. Just like that, the ancient spaceship changed hands completely. In fact, it didn't have such a high level. It was just an auxiliary intelligent machine. The main permissions of each section of the ancient spaceship had been taken over by Fang Yuzhu, Zhang Daoling, and others long before. Fang Yuzhu was not planning to keep the bird around. Seeing this, Wang Xuan said, "Then, let’s destroy it. This kind of active metal material is very valuable and can be used to repair exotic treasures."

"No, I am very useful. I can help you gather sample organisms and control any spaceship. I can be everywhere in your daily life. I'll be your most satisfactory steward and your most intimate little coat!" it said shamelessly. As it had infiltrated and connected to parts of the network of the ancient spaceship, it was already quite proficient in the current language.

"Give the bird to me. As one grows older, the understanding of various new things slows down. With this stupid bird's assistance, I think it will be fine." The Hades Blood Patriarch spoke, even giving it a name.

"I dare not. As Confucius said, if you are not ashamed to ask, then I am willing to serve. The Hades Blood Patriarch, you are insightful in using people, and you will surely surpass the world in the future. You’ll overcome the impending mythological winter night!"

The mechanical bird was nodding and bowing there after it was released by Wang Xuan. It then tried to fly to the shoulder of the Hades Blood Patriarch to express its loyalty in a very nauseating manner.

"Why do I feel like this bird is too smart for its own good? It should be slain!" Zhang Daoling spoke up. He was surprised and gave the mechanical bird a second look.

"It certainly has a origin. It is said that its sample comes from an extremely ancient entity, even I couldn't fully trace its origin. However, it has been formatted multiple times and is very useful," the woman with blue hair spoke. It did not mind revealing the origin and secrets of the bird as she saw the mechanical bird behaving shamelessly.

The mechanical bird trembled and said, "Great Patriarch Zhang, your name resonates through the ages. Even now, your longevity teachings and golden statues are known throughout the mortal realm. Your compassion is revered by all."

The Patriarch of Hades Blood chuckled, "Little one, exorcising demons is part of cultivation. Can you even help him scratch his itch?"

"Yes, I have top-secret information here. In the depths of the cosmos, there are records about the most powerful demons and monsters. Some of them reside in forbidden lairs located in semi material, semi energy planes, and to this day, no one has been able to conquer them. It is waiting for Grandmaster Zhang to subdue it!" said the mechanical bird. It swiftly retrieved data from the database and showed it to Zhang Daoling.

This had piqued the interest of the Hades Blood Patriarch. This was indeed a treasure bird. He asked, "Do you have what I need? I rely on the Blood Sea for my cultivation and require extremely rare super-blood for it."

"Yes, the ancient spaceship retains the blood of some super-specimen creatures. It was used to repair them in case of severe damage."

Wang Xuan was slightly surprised. This bird could actually offer some benefits. He immediately gestured for it to make its offering.

"The magnificent super-young……" It choked on the word offspring and changed it to super young celestial being. It informed Wang Xuan that there were various insights from top tenth stage experts, and even their battle scenes. Some were even attempting to break through to the eleventh stage, with some being one step away from it.

Wang Xuan was moved. He hadn't expected such records to exist as they were crucial for him. He wanted to break through to the eleventh stage of the mythological pioneer theory!

Now he found the mechanical bird to be much more agreeable and useful. However, he still warned the Patriarch of Hades Blood to be cautious not to let it escape into the Old World and wreak havoc using various spaceships from different regions.

"Control its permissions," Fang Yuzhu said. Some things had to be guarded against, even though she already had the highest authority over the ancient spaceship.

"You praised and rewarded everyone else but me. Why did you ignore me?" Demon Lord Yan Yan spoke.

"Great Yan Yan…… Miss, your beauty shines like the sun, making the stars dim, and your elegance is unparalleled. Only Maiden Fang can compare to you," said the mechanical bird. It immediately flattered Yan Yan and did not forget to add a patch at the end it was afraid of offending Fang Yuzhu.

"Your unparalleled elegance and beauty have turned into everlasting light. It illuminated the entire universe, countless galaxies, and even the gods bow down and submit to your charm," said the bird. This flattery from the bird was unbearable. It was too nauseating.

Wang Xuan wanted to ask it to shut up but he was afraid of offending Demon Lord Yan Yan because she seemed to be listening with relish. Whether it was out of narcissism or some twisted amusement, she kept letting it continue and was listening to it intently. In the end, Fang Yuzhu stayed behind to study the ancient spaceship. She was very interested in the data here and had some expectations for extraterrestrial civilizations. Zhang Daoling didn't leave either. He was staring at the star map and was looking at it repeatedly. He really wanted to cross realms to capture those taboo demons and monsters. The so-called semi material and semi energy dimensional plane was probably a small celestial land.

Yan Yan stayed behind to interrogate the two captives. She also called for Wang Xuan when she interrogated the blue-haired woman. Her delicate face was wearing a charming smile. The blue-haired woman's complexion turned pale. Although she was a clone, she still had emotions and the spirit’s light. She was extremely agile and was equivalent to the incarnation of a peerless master but she had nothing to say in defeat.

"You're so fond of studying super bloodlines, why don't you give birth to one yourself?" Demon Lord Yan Yan smiled down at the captive.

"I am a clone. Although I look the same as the real body, the potential contained within is completely different. I might consider nurturing a bloodline if my real body is here." the blue-haired woman said.

After the blue-haired woman's frustration, she unexpectedly calmed down and responded seriously. She even advised Demon Lord Yan Yan, saying, "I can see that this is your true flesh and blood. This is most suitable for reproduction. How about you have one? With the methods of our civilization, perhaps we can break through the unknown areas at the forefront of mythology and adapt to the upcoming transcendent winter night."

Her counter almost caused Demon Lord Yan Yan to slap her with her delicate white hand. Finally, Yan Yan looked at Wang Xuan and said, "Do you want me to cultivate both of you?"

Wang Xuan quickly shook his head. He felt it was better to leave immediately as he felt that a death trap was waiting for them.

"Why not? I promised that I would definitely teach her a lesson once we captured her, and, hmm, I'll also fulfill what you wanted,"

Wang Xuan stepped back and said, "No need, she herself said that such bloodlines have defects!"

"Yes, your two talents are flawless, they will be the supreme perfect bloodlines," the fearless blue-haired woman, not afraid of being killed as a clone, actually took out a steaming beverage from the fragments of her blessed land and began to drink lightly. She was smiling at the two.

Demon Lord Yan Yan first immobilized the blue-haired woman. Even the hot drink flowed from her beautiful lips, and then she looked at Wang Xuan, saying, "Aren't you looking forward to it too?"

Wang Xuan was speechless.

He fled in embarrassment. There was no way he could stay in this place any longer.

"You will compromise when the transcendence disappears and the darkest moment of the universe arrives. Starting from the strongest bloodline is the only way out. When you can't see hope, you will take the initiative," the blue-haired woman spoke.

Then, she was punished again. She groaned in pain and was unable to speak. She had become a prisoner under Demon Lord Yan Yan's control. In the end, only the Hades Blood Patriarch who was carrying a birdcage, returned to the Old World on a small spaceship together with Wang Xuan. The other three stayed behind, and were preparing to go to the New World shortly because there was also an ancient spaceship there that needed to be taken away.

Time flew by. For half a month, Wang Xuan consolidated his cultivation and honed his spirit and physical body. He was preparing to adjust his state to attempt to break through the eleventh stage in the Solitary Void. He wanted to see if he could break through it! He also wanted to transplant the first immortal tea tree while he was there. He felt it had been too long since he had gone back. Worried about changes in the secret realm, he had to find a way to increase his strength. It was time to bring Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin back home. In fact, Wang Xuan wanted to invite the Hades Blood Patriarch, who enjoyed drinking tea and walking his bird when he had nothing else to do, to enter the depths of space with him. During this period, everyone else had been very busy. It seemed only the Hades Blood Patriarch was relatively free. He was taking care of his health while holding a birdcage and was considering livestock investment matters. Perhaps he could be persuaded. He couldn't speak up previously because these were all patriarch-level figures that were beyond his command. But now that he had become familiar with them, he wanted to try his luck regardless of the outcome.

"What? The Hades Blood Patriarch left with Lady Fang, Zhang Daoling, and Demon Lord Yan Yan seven days ago?"exclaimed Wang Xuan. He was astonished. He had heard such news from Old Chen just after coming out from seclusion.

"Yes, they went to the New World. After taking the second spaceship, and following the clues left by the two blood-stained ancient ships, they seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. They set sail directly from the New World and disappeared into the depths of the vast universe!"

Old Chen's words left Wang Xuan feeling a bit bewildered. The sudden departure of the four great unparalleled experts made him very uncomfortable. They had spent quite a pleasant time together, and now they were leaving so suddenly.

"What kind of clues could make the four great unparalleled experts so invested in it that they had to rush into the depths of the universe?" Wang Xuan wondered aloud.

"They didn't leave a single word and left in a hurry. It was indeed very surprising," said Old Chen while he also expressed his confusion.

"It's been a week since the four of them left. I have to be on high alert!" Wang Xuan muttered to himself. Those people all knew about his special inner landscape and wouldn't want anything to happen to him.

Recently, the four great experts had intentionally or unintentionally protected him for a while. There would always be one or two of them near the city where he lived. But now, they had all withdrawn! They probably wouldn't have acted like this if it weren't for an urgent situation or a very serious matter.

In the next few days, there was nothing much happening. The Old World was peaceful, and the transcendent beings followed the provisional covenant without violating the five rules. The thirteenth day after the disappearance of the four great experts. In the evening, Wang Xuan looked up and saw that the moon was unusually large, bright, and gentle. It was pouring down like pure white water light. The houses destroyed by Zheng Yuantian had been rebuilt, and the dried-up reed lake had also been restored. It was shimmering with ripples and was reflecting a very large moon on the surface.

Wang Xuan stood on the grass and gazed at the sky. Suddenly, he sensed something unusual. Without him entering a super-sense state, his inner landscape was actually starting to open automatically! First, a crack appeared, then the entrance began to expand. Then, a flash of rosy light came from within, and unlike before something had appeared! However, why did he feel his scalp tingling? Something was very wrong. The internal scenery was out of control, and it was exceptionally abnormal tonight!
