Li Yuanxiu sneered to himself: "Let them struggle slowly, we are already one step ahead."
He deliberately released some false news about the delayed research progress, causing Qixing and Qingyu to mistakenly believe that Taicang's progress was slow, thereby paralyzing them.
At the same time, he has begun to optimize the combat intelligence of the AI Gu so that the mecha pilot can truly become one with the mecha.
"This time, I want to completely change the mecha landscape in the world of immortal cultivation." Li Yuanxiu muttered to himself with a sharp look.
The R&D departments of the three companies are currently in a state of frenzy, with all laboratories operating in a 24-hour non-stop mode.
Qixing Company: Engineers have been working overtime for seven days and nights, with three already rushed to the infirmary due to psychic energy depletion caused by overwork. Qingyu Company: The numerous psychic scientists and refiners employed by the company are arguing with each other due to differing factions regarding the construction of Nascent Soul-level mechas, slowing research progress. Taicang Company: While seemingly the most peaceful, they have actually completed the first round of experiments combining artificial intelligence with Gu Dao, achieving a 90% success rate. However, Li Yuanxiu maintains a low profile, misleading the outside world into believing they are lagging behind.
The technological battlefield of the entire cultivation world was completely ablaze.
This is the eve of the Nascent Soul-level mecha revolution!
Deep within the starry sea, a massive steel fortress drifts silently amidst the nebulae. This fortress possesses no records of interstellar routes, its existence forgotten by all immortal sects and technological powers. Only a select few possess this secret.
In the heart of the fortress, within a vast mechanical temple, countless mechanical monks busied themselves in an orderly fashion. Clad in metal armor, their eyes flashing a cold red light, they had long since renounced flesh and blood, striving towards the ultimate goal of mechanical ascension.
Here, the "Nascent Soul-level Mecha" is just the most basic research result. Their real goal is to develop the God Transformation-level or even the Void-level Mecha!
A monk in a black mechanical robe stood at the highest point, his gaze cold as he surveyed the information flow on the psychic network. No one knew his name, but all the mechanical monks addressed him as "Lord."
"Nascent Soul-level mecha? Haha... the research of these mortals is really too backward." The Lord's voice was low and mocking, and the mechanical sound effects made his voice particularly cold.
As he waved his hand, images appeared in the air, showing the progress of the research on Nascent Soul-class mechas by the major companies and sects in the world of immortal cultivation.
Qixing Company – has yet to break through the bottleneck of psychic energy transmission, and progress is slow. Qingyu Company – struggles within the traditional mecha framework, lacking any innovation. Taicang Company – is experimenting with AI-based Gu technology, a unique approach, but is still in the exploratory stage.
"Foolish worms...are you still trying to pry open the door of God with primitive means?" The Lord sneered.
At the same time, in the mecha test site of the fortress, a huge Nascent Soul-level mecha was slowly rising.
Its appearance is far larger and more majestic than all the existing Nascent Soul mechas. The whole body is made of radiant metal, and its surface is covered with complex rune circuits. These runes can autonomously absorb the free spiritual energy in the universe and maintain the mecha's super-long combat state.
In the control cabin of the mecha, Ye Tiandi sat there quietly, connected to the mecha's neural synchronization system. His semi-mechanized brain was running at high speed, reading the mecha's combat data.
"Let's start the test." Ye Tiandi said in a cold tone.
In the testing grounds, ten peak-level Nascent Soul-class mecha AIs began to besiege Ye Tiandi. Their attacks poured down like a torrential rain, a crisscross of rune beams, psychic swords, and explosive warheads, creating a deadly zone.
boom!
Ye Tiandi's mecha instantly entered combat mode. His psychic reaction speed had far exceeded the human limit. With the assistance of the AI Gu, his mecha completed a series of extreme evasions at an incredible speed, and at the same time killed two enemy planes with a backhand!
"Combat efficiency increased by 32%, energy consumption decreased by 19%, and mecha synchronization rate exceeded 97%... Not bad." Ye Tiandi read out the data casually, and then activated the mecha's ultimate form -
"Nascent Soul Liberation Mode"!
With the full release of the energy core, Ye Tiandi's mecha entered the super-Nascent Soul level mode. His spiritual energy index instantly soared to the standard of the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and he easily tore apart all the remaining opponents!
"The Nascent Soul-level mecha has been perfected. Next, it's time to advance the research and development of the God Transformation-level mecha." Emperor Ye Tian slowly put away his sword and looked indifferently at the broken wreckage of the AI mecha in the experimental field.
The Lord looked at Ye Tiandi's data report and nodded slightly: "Very good, your mecha has completely surpassed all the technologies in the world of immortal cultivation."
Ye Tiandi said in a deep voice: "But this is not enough. The Nascent Soul level is just the foundation. The real goal is to become a Spiritual Transformation or even a Void Refining Mecha."
"Indeed." The Lord slowly stood up, his mechanized body making a heavy metallic friction sound. "The Nascent Soul-level mecha is only the first step in the world of immortal cultivation. The true evolution lies in a higher realm."
He looked into the depths of the laboratory, where a terrifying mecha, unprecedented in appearance, was slowly taking shape.
Its spiritual energy fluctuations have reached the standard of the Void Refinement Level, and its entire body is covered with ultra-high-density spiritual pattern circuits, as if the laws of the entire universe are condensed on it.
"A Void-level mecha... is the ultimate goal of my Mechanical Ascension Sect," the Lord said slowly. "When this mecha is completed, the rules of the entire cultivation world will be rewritten by us."
Emperor Ye Tian nodded slightly, his eyes cold and firm.
"I am willing to be the first cultivator to drive a virtual-level mecha." He said in a deep voice.
The Lord looked at him, a cold smile playing on his lips. "Very good, but your cultivation is not enough... Go, take your mecha into a more extreme combat environment, and slaughter those ignorant people who try to challenge the Mechanical Ascension Sect."
Ye Tiandi said nothing more. He turned and entered the teleportation cabin. The next moment, his mecha disappeared into the teleportation light array and entered an unknown battlefield deep in the starry sea...
The top leaders of the Mechanical Ascension Faction watched all this silently.
A monk covered in metal tentacles whispered, "Lord, should we eliminate those companies and sects that are researching Nascent Soul-level mechas? Their technology will eventually pose a threat to us."
The Lord smiled faintly: "No need, they are just frogs in the well, just let them do whatever they want... When they develop the Nascent Soul-level mecha, our Void-level mecha will be enough to crush the entire cultivation world."
"What about Taicang Company?" another mechanical monk asked, "Their AI Gu solution seems interesting."
A red light flashed in the Lord's eyes, and he whispered, "Continue to observe them. If they can grow to the point where they are worthy of our use, let them live. Otherwise... let Ye Tiandi deal with them."
The entire Mechanical Temple was in deathly silence.
In this fortress deep in the starry sea, a technological revolution that surpasses the cognition of all immortal cultivators is quietly taking place.
However, the major forces in the world of immortal cultivation are still immersed in their "Nascent Soul-level mecha research", completely unaware that they are just a group of observed experimenters.
