As Qixing Company fully commits to developing its Nascent Soul-class mecha, the entire world of immortal cultivation undergoes an unprecedented transformation in mecha technology. Super sects and leading mecha companies across major immortal cultivation planets invest vast resources in an attempt to break through the limits of peak-level Golden Core-class mechas and advance towards the legendary Nascent Soul-class mechas.
The Zixiao Immortal Palace's Thunder Armor is rumored to have completed preliminary testing, capable of unleashing Nascent Soul-level psychic energy in a short burst. While not yet stable, it's enough to shock the entire cultivation world. The Tianji Pavilion, renowned for its expertise in mechanical devices and mechas, is about to unveil a new theory for the construction of Nascent Soul-level mechas, claiming to significantly optimize energy efficiency, making them more durable and powerful. The Wanling Sect, however, is taking a different approach, attempting to fuse spirit beast training with mecha technology. Using "beast souls" as their core, they aim to create self-aware combat mechas. Theoretically, if successful, they could possess combat methods that mimic the instinctive reactions of cultivators.
Under such a tide of the times, the entire world of cultivation has fallen into a frenzy of technological innovation.
At the same time, discussions in the virtual world - the Spirit Realm battlefield are becoming increasingly heated.
"Have you heard? Several mecha companies are developing Yuanying-level mechas."
"Yeah, a lot of experts have been discussing psychic energy stability recently, and the official forum of the Spirit Realm Battlefield is almost flooded with comments."
"Whoever can master Yuanying-level mecha technology first will definitely soar to the sky in the future!"
"By the way, I heard that guy 'Zero' recently upgraded his mecha and it became really abnormal. Could it be that he is also researching the Nascent Soul mecha?"
Speculations and conspiracy theories abounded, and forums were abuzz with discussion. Some even speculated on who would truly master the Nascent Soul-class mecha. Just as this wave of enthusiasm continued to ferment, a long-silent, mysterious figure quietly emerged online.
——496.
"drop--"
In a remote corner of the Spirit Realm battlefield, Xiang Fan (ID: Zero) huddled inside his slightly shabby mech, adjusting the weapon systems with one hand while casually nibbling on cheap instant bread with the other. Faint electronic light flickered within the cockpit as he concentrated on tinkering with a core component, completely lost in his own world.
However, the next moment, a private communication request suddenly popped up on the screen.
Sender: 496
Xiang Fan's pupils shrank slightly, and he almost dropped the bread in his hand. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately sat up straight and clicked "Accept" without hesitation.
496!
That was his master, a true mecha master, a legendary figure who had created countless legends in the virtual world. Although he had never formally accepted him as a disciple, Xiang Fan knew that the foundation of his mecha technology almost entirely came from this mysterious man.
The call connected, and a figure appeared on the screen—a black windbreaker, a hood covering his face, a tall, straight figure with a certain aloofness. His ID name, **496**, loomed large on the screen. His presence, like a symbol, had left an indelible impression on countless people in the Spirit Realm battlefield.
"Hey, brat, you've been very active lately."
496's voice was a bit lazy, as if everything was under control, but the majesty that could not be ignored was still there.
Xiang Fan was startled and quickly sat up straight, bowing respectfully: "Master! Long time no see!"
496 on the other side of the screen smiled faintly, looking at him with a half-smile: "Do you still remember that I am your master? Wasn't it you who rejected my formal acceptance of you as my disciple last time?"
Xiang Fan suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said sheepishly, "Well...it's mainly because I don't like being noticed..."
496 shook his head and said meaningfully, "Hey, kid, you're too low-key."
Xiang Fan didn't dare to say much. He sat upright and listened attentively.
"However, I didn't come to you today to reminisce about the past." 496 said slowly, his voice slightly lowered, with a hint of unquestionable solemnity.
Xiang Fan was shocked and immediately put away all his joking attitude. He held his breath and concentrated: "Master, please speak."
496's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "What do you think of Nascent Soul-level mechas?"
Xiang Fan paused for a moment, then fell into deep thought. He didn't answer immediately, instead carefully recalling a recent and significant encounter with Ye Tiandi's mecha. After a moment's pause, he slowly recounted the details of that encounter, particularly his observations of the mecha's internal structure during the encounter, and how he subsequently used these insights to improve his own Mecha Zero.
Having said that, he did not hesitate to package up the overall structure diagram, various system data, drawings and parameters of the new No. 0 mecha and sent them directly to 496.
"Master, these are the results of my recent research." Xiang Fan said seriously, his tone carrying a hint of cautious anticipation. "Although it hasn't fully reached the Nascent Soul stage, it should at least be close to that level."
496 received the data, and there was silence on the screen for a full ten seconds.
"...Tsk tsk, little brat, I didn't expect you to grow up so fast." 496's voice was filled with surprise.
As he scanned the blueprints, he uttered a series of low, smacking sounds. "The design of this engine core is quite ingenious. The circuitry of spiritual energy flow perfectly aligns with the energy flow patterns of high-level cultivators... Did you come up with this idea yourself?"
Xiang Fan scratched his head embarrassedly: "Actually, it was based on Emperor Ye Tian's mecha, but... it was slightly modified."
"Slightly?" 496 chuckled and shook his head. "You've completely revolutionized this."
His gaze lingered on Xiang Fan's design for a moment, his tone slightly grave, "The biggest bottleneck of Nascent Soul-class mechas has always been the issue of psychic output power and operator load. While your proposal hasn't completely solved the load issue, your engine design has already theoretically met the psychic output requirements of a Nascent Soul-class mecha."
