Chapter 588: Chapter 161: Operation Mechanism
Mechanical Puppets were arranged into two long columns, silent and motionless.
Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong stood at the very front of the two columns of Mechanical Puppets.
They both used their Divine Sense to control these Mechanical Puppets.
The Mechanical Puppets moved forward with the team while unscrewing their heads several times and then removing them.
By the time they reached Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong, they had all become headless figures, carrying their mechanical heads in their hands.
The duo took out several Divine Splitting Mirrors, and using their Divine Sense and Mana, they modified these Mechanical Puppets slightly before finally inserting the Divine Splitting Mirrors into them.
The mirrors of the Divine Splitting Mirrors were nearly like crystal, clear as a pond, reflecting a vast blue light as if stars were flowing.
The frames of the mirrors were jade-like and radiant, beautiful like the green waves at dawn, with the corners slightly turned up, resembling ancient clouds painted by old masters, profound and lofty. Divine Sense penetrated into the frame to see the internal meridians, resembling the roots of an ancient tree.
This is one of the treasured mirrors recorded in the Foundation Establishment Chapter of the Mirror Stand Spirit Communication Technique, capable of receiving and dividing Divine Sense.
Among all the treasured mirrors, the Divine Splitting Mirror was the cheapest to produce. This was a thoughtfully designed aspect by the Three Superior Sect Techniques masters. The reason was that among all treasured mirrors, the Divine Splitting Mirror had the highest demand.
What Ning Zhuo was doing now was installing Divine Splitting Mirrors into all the Mechanical Puppets.
These four hundred plus Divine Splitting Mirrors were what Ning Zhuo and the other had been diligently creating day and night without sleep for a few days.
The whole setting process did not take up too much time.
Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong tried to control them and both showed delighted expressions. Ning Zhuo emitted his Divine Sense, and he only needed to project it onto the nearest Mechanical Puppet to amplify it slightly in the Divine Splitting Mirror.
Ning Zhuo could not only connect with and control this Mechanical Puppet, but the surplus Divine Sense was divided into six or seven parts and spread around.
These fractions of Divine Sense were attracted by the other Divine Splitting Mirrors, amplified a bit after entering them, and then were divided again and projected outward.
After several rounds of this projection, Ning Zhuo managed to control a large number of Mechanical Puppets.
He fully stimulated his Divine Sense, spreading it far and wide, quickly covering over four hundred Mechanical Puppets.
“I’ll try, I’ll try.”
Sun Lingtong thought it looked amusing and began his attempt without waiting.
His Divine Sense could also be put into the Divine Splitting Mirror, but although the total amount was larger than that of Ning Zhuo, it was amplified only half as much by the mirror, and the divided Divine Sense was at most three or four parts.
The Divine Splitting Mirror was also helpful to Sun Lingtong in controlling the Mechanical Puppets, but not very much.
After all, the Mirror Stand Spirit Communication Technique and the Divine Splitting Mirror were a matched set.
This made Sun Lingtong deeply sigh once again: The creators of the Three Superior Sect Techniques were of exceptional talent, bringing forth the rarely seen Three Superior Sect Techniques that not only allowed simultaneous cultivation in three Dantian but even considered as a single aspect, offered a wealth of content that was thoroughly complete.
Ning Zhuo was both excited and exhausted.
To rush into making enough Divine Splitting Mirrors, he had been working non-stop for several days, almost without sleep.
Both Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong had deep dark circles under their eyes.
Ning Zhuo yawned: “Let’s sleep first, big brother. I’m so tired I can hardly keep my eyes open.”
Sun Lingtong nodded: “You sleep first, I’ll stay up.”
Being outside, he and Ning Zhuo coordinated to rest and cultivate at different times, always maintaining vigilance.
Ning Zhuo nodded naturally.
From childhood, Sun Lingtong would let Ning Zhuo sleep first while he kept watch during the night. Ning Zhuo had grown accustomed to this arrangement.
Young people sleep very well.
Ning Zhuo, having reached a certain level of exhaustion, lay down on the bed and immediately fell asleep.
After sleeping soundly, he opened his eyes and his gaze gradually became bright and spirited, sweeping away the previous fatigue.
He immediately switched with Sun Lingtong for rest, then with the Ten-Thousand-Li Travelling Dragon around his waist, he lifted the tent curtain and stepped out to see the afternoon sun.
He went to see Liu, Guan, and Zhang’s Three Generals training soldiers. Seeing them train tirelessly, he used Divine Sense to greet them and then left the camp.
Ning Zhuo also needs to train!
But after Ning Zhuo’s investment, the Three Generals Camp was already at full capacity. The camp itself wasn’t large enough for Three Generals to rotate on.
Ning Zhuo thought for a moment and then went to the Red Flower Camp.
Now, entering and leaving Red Flower Camp, he simply showed his waist token. Sometimes, he had not even reached the camp gate when the soldiers noticed him and immediately opened the gate for him on their own initiative.
In the Red Flower Camp, Mu Lan was also training soldiers.
In fact, after the ambush battle, these military forces returned to Canglin Immortal City for recuperation and were actively recruiting and buying horses, replenishing troops, and rigorously training, using every moment to their advantage.
At this time, the amount of sweat shed might well decide the future life or death on the battlefield.
Therefore, whether it was generals or soldiers, they were willing to diligently and rigorously train. It was well known that they would still head to the frontline.
Compared to the Three Generals Camp, the Red Flower Camp was much more spacious.
On one hand, the standard of the Red Flower Camp made the campsite very large, much higher than the newly established forces like the Three Generals Camp. On the other hand, although Red Flower Camp also replenished troops, they were carefully selected, and numbers were not arbitrarily increased.
This was because the complexity of the Red Flower Battle Formation far exceeded most other battle formations. In such a case, merely increasing the number of people would actually be cumbersome, preventing the formation of a solid battle formation and significantly lowering the overall combat strength of the entire military.
Seeing Ning Zhuo arrive, Mu Lan immediately stepped aside, letting her deputy general continue the training, while she herself came forward to greet Ning Zhuo.
“Ning Zhuo… Young Master.” Mu Lan was expressionless, but her flashing eyes revealed her inner unrest.
