Mu Dan volunteered, "Commander Ling Tong! I’ll help you!"
Lingtong hurried away with Mu Dan, and Ms. Wan snapped her fingers at Wang Jixuan:
"Follow me, and I’ll show you around the senior engineer’s big house at the headquarters, but you’d better not go into our master bedroom. We do have our marital privacy, you know."
Wang Jixuan agreed with a smile.
For three consecutive days, nothing happened at the General Command Center of the D5 battle zone.
Wherever Wang Jixuan went, as long as there were no emergencies threatening his life, his main melody consisted of three things:
Meditation, meditation, and deep meditation!
At the current stage, even forging the simplest flying sword was somewhat forced in terms of cultivation.
But "forced" did not mean "impossible"; it simply meant that it required more time and effort.
The first step in forging a flying sword was to use one’s spirit to gradually nurture the materials brought by Lingtong.
Nurturing differed from forging, in that the former needed more time; the longer, the better. It also required a rich environment of Spiritual Energy, intentionally guiding it to seep into the main and auxiliary materials, gradually enhancing their spiritual nature until they exuded a treasure light.
Wang Jixuan didn’t know how long this process would last.
Half a month? A month?
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; it was fine to take it slow with the first flying sword.
The moment the flying sword was created, his own combat abilities would naturally see a significant improvement.
Although the interior of the General Command Center was quiet, outside there was a gathering storm.
A Blade Beast strike force emerged from beneath the 82nd Fortress and was discovered and eliminated by the military.
A war of words between Spiritual Ability City and the D5 Combined Combat Zone kept escalating, with the former accusing D5 of intentional exclusion, and the latter claiming that Spiritual Ability City had failed to fulfill the basic covenant of protecting humanity.
Even Fu Jian released a photo of a button.
That button was used to detonate the nuclear bomb at the Six Elders’ residence.
Of course, Spiritual Ability City was unaware that all this was part of Fu Jian’s ploy.
Behind the escalating situation, an assassination campaign planned by the Spiritual Ability User Death Soldiers was steadily advancing; what Fu Jian now awaited was just how many assassination targets there would turn out to be.
According to the investigation results Wang Jixuan obtained in these three days... at least eight mid-level generals needed to be directly purged.
The Space Fortress also began intervening in this internal conflict among humans.
However, before the Commander of the Space Fortress could say much, Fu Jian berated him fiercely, leaving the Commander with no choice but to privately gripe about Fu Jian’s stubbornness and bad temper.
By now, almost everyone was certain of two things.
First, Fu Jian was on the verge of collapse.
Second, Fu Jian was determined to take the Six Elders down with him before he died.
As a result, every major combat zone and the people of Spiritual Ability City were panicking, compounded by the fear induced by the Brain-eating Worms, leading many to cry out in despair—
Humanity’s end was near.
Nevertheless, none of this affected Daoist Wang’s Cultivation.
As the materials were gradually imbued with spiritual essence, his cultivation level steadily increased.
After entering the mid-stage of the Returning to Truth Realm, Wang Jixuan was capable of attempting fasting; however, he had not yet started, as enjoying food and drink provided a rare delight amidst daily Cultivation.
Mainly, Ms. Wan’s cooking was truly delicious.
If the one cooking for him had been Zhou Zhengde’s mother, then it would certainly be preferable to start fasting sooner rather than later.
On the fourth day of Wang Jixuan’s surreptitious Cultivation at the General Command Center, a message arrived for Mu Dan. It was from Dragonfly Lady, but this time it wasn’t to pass on any intelligence.
