How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!

"Array?" Zhu Ban's eyebrows suddenly furrowed: "You mean to say, this energy source is actually an Array Stone?"

"Yes!" Lin Xiaosu replied.

"Qianlong also has people researching arrays. They proposed the same idea as you, but after testing this energy source, they dismissed the idea, because this energy source isn't an Array Stone. The entire field is also very different from common arrays," Miao Yin Heavenly King interjected.

Lin Xiaosu said, "Two words to answer! Rare!"

"Rare?"

"The array is rare, and the Array Stone is rare too!" Lin Xiaosu said, "This Array Stone combines the power of the Five Elements. It's not a single attribute; it's an all-attribute Array Stone. I've never seen an all-attribute Array Stone before either."

Array Stones have natural attributes.

For instance, the most common elements are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, which naturally complement and counteract each other.

It's extremely difficult for them to appear on a single stone simultaneously.

Therefore, the vast majority of Array Stones are of single attributes. Double-attribute Array Stones, under the compression of the Heavenly Dao Power over billions of years, will ultimately also become single-attribute. For example, fire can counter wood. An Array Stone with both fire and wood attributes, over the long time span, will destroy the wood attribute, ultimately leaving only the fire attribute.

Only when the Five Elements gather, complementing and countering each other, reaching a dynamic balance, can they maintain the attribute of all Five Elements coexisting for a long time.

In short, an Array Stone with Five Elements attributes is equivalent to a naturally made integrated circuit board.

After this explanation, everyone was in a cloud and fog...

Blue Demon spoke, "You mean there's a way to replicate Energy Stones?"

"Yes!" Lin Xiaosu said, "If you can't find an all-attribute Five Elements Array Stone, you can use five different attribute Array Stones as a substitute. Theoretically, it can serve the same purpose."

"Old Zhu!" Miao Yin Heavenly King said, "Are there any Array Stones in the materials library?"

"There are some, but... but it's not certain we can gather all five attributes."

"No problem!" Lin Xiaosu said, "I brought some with me, you all get ready, I'll go get them!"

He turned around and left.

Blue Demon followed.

In an instant, the two left the Mechanical Bureau, went to the riverside, and entered Blue Demon's cabin. Blue Demon was full of suspicion: "Did you really bring Array Stones with you? How come I didn't know?"

Yesterday, she had brought him into her boudoir.

His clothes were thin.

His bag was light.

Did it really contain Array Stones?

However, when Lin Xiaosu took out the small bag from under the bed and handed it to her, she was stunned.

The bag was much heavier than when she carried it yesterday.

Opening it, there were indeed many peculiar stones inside.

Red, green, blue...

"I swear by my still existing virginity, yesterday your bag was definitely not this heavy!" Blue Demon looked up, staring at him.

Lin Xiaosu slapped his forehead: "Senior Sister, only two people in this world know about my skills in hiding things! One is Chang Ye, and the other is you! You wouldn't go around making this known to everyone, would you?"

"Not wouldn't, but absolutely won't! I promise!" Blue Demon patted her chest.

"Let's go! Witness the spectacle!" Lin Xiaosu and Blue Demon walked back side by side.

Lin Xiaosu's skills at hiding things.

Are known by more than just two people, but in fact, nobody truly knows.

Even Chang Ye, even Blue Demon, only knew the surface.

Chang Ye didn't know where he hid the Lan Mo Stone at the time, and Blue Demon doesn't know where his Array Stones are hidden today.

In fact, the Array Stones are hidden in his Secret Realm Space.

And it's definitely more than just this small half-bag.

The number of Array Stones he hid would shock people.

There are tens of thousands!

Where did they come from?

Speaking of which is a taboo, they came from the Abyssal.

He altered the array setting in the Abyssal, trapping and killing over a hundred Array Masters in one go. How could he not have gained anything? Most of the Array Stones that those Array Masters collected from the Bridge Realm Bai Races were put into the Inner Layer Space, and now they have become Lin Xiaosu's trophies.

Outsiders wouldn't know.

The Bridge Realm wouldn't know, the actual sabotaging not only cut off the Bridges Realm's inheritance in array but also carried out a massive plunder of the very foundation of arrays: Array Crystal Pillars.

His hand made a scoop in the air under the bed, and from the Secret Realm Space, he retrieved five Array Crystal Pillars, one for each of the Five Elements, making them a gift for Qianlong.

The two returned to the Mechanical Bureau.

Entered a special space.

This is the experiment zone.

The Wing Blade was here, still in the same state as when Blue Demon brought it back—its first form.

Lin Xiaosu asked, "Is everything ready?"

Miao Yin Heavenly King said, "Rest assured, the Wing Blade's control system has been decrypted and is now under Qianlong's control."

Speaking of control systems, that's the work of another person in Qianlong.

This person is the only Heavenly King renowned for technology among the eighteen kings of Qianlong: Brain King.

Brain King, as soon as he got the Wing Blade, took just three days and nights to crack the Wing Blade's control core, adjusted the program settings, and optimized them even beyond Nine Headed Snake's original settings.

"Brother, let's start!" Ding Dong's eyes gleamed brightly.

He was highly excited.

Zhu Ban also spoke: "We can start!"

"Alright!" Lin Xiaosu walked towards the Wing Blade.

Ding Dong put on a pair of gloves, very peculiar control gloves.

The scene was frozen.

The atmosphere was highly oppressive.

Wing Blade, a kind of divine artifact with great power over Qianlong coming from Nine Headed Snake.

If a certain substitute could truly be developed, or even creatively promote its transformation, then in this field of Wing Blade assault, Qianlong could actually implement suppression on Nine Headed Snake.

This is a historic moment.

This is a contest between two superpowers.

This is more about the national grand strategy.

Lin Xiaosu stretched out his hand, inserting five Array Crystal Pillars into the hole under the Wing Blade's rib.

The Wing Blade's eyes suddenly lit up.

In the arena, an unknown person let out a surprised "Hmm."

Everyone's eyes shone brightly like autumn water.

The most excited was Zhu Ban.

This old stubborn and rigid man displayed a side never shown in his daily life...

The Array Stone is effective!

With a flick of Ding Dong's finger, the Wing Blade rose!

A snap of his middle finger, and the Wing Blade soared into the sky!

Suddenly, four fingers snapped simultaneously.

The entire Wing Blade emitted a red glow, suddenly transforming...

The sound was crisp and melodious, endless.

In the next moment, the Wing Blade in the air turned into a disk.

"Live ammunition shot!" Zhu Ban commanded!

A small missile pierced the air, aimed at the disk formed by the Wing Blade.

An astonishing situation occurred.

The disk whirled, emitting a strange energy field, and the missile suddenly halted from its high-speed launch, stopping ten meters from the disk!

"Detonate!"

With a booming explosion, the missile detonated, a fierce shock wave enveloped the entire arena. However, only half felt this shock wave, creating a dividing line with the disk at the center. Behind the disk, everything remained unharmed.

"Plasma protection?" Miao Yin Heavenly King exclaimed.

"It's not plasma protection, this is array protection!" Lin Xiaosu said: "The Wing Blade's second form is array protection!"

Blue Demon was stunned: "Is this the perfect combination of modern technology and ancient arrays?"

This sentence plunged Lin Xiaosu into deep thought.

Modern technology, at its peak, indeed resembles other paths.

The Earthly Dao emphasizes bloodlines.

However, modern technology can achieve genetic transformation, causing mutations in bloodlines.

The Heavenly Dao emphasizes cultivation.

Yet, the special abilities achievable by the Heavenly Dao can seemingly be attained through modern technology as well.

Some special lethal magic, like Miao Yin Heavenly King's subsonic attacks, can be produced by modern technology; whether they are strong or not is another matter, but they can achieve them, that's fact.

Technology is boundless.

The power of technology has no end.

Could this be the reason the heaven, earth, and human paths contested, and humans won in the end?

Humans possess technological power!

Humans ceaselessly develop technology...

For instance, this Wing Blade, purportedly an achievement of Ancient Times, was that Ancient Era the era of the three paths contesting?

If the Wing Blade were to unleash its third form.

If this third form were exactly as Ding Dong predicted, then the Wing Blade would gain the means to compete with Enlightenment Realm experts.

Its destructive power is no less than Enlightenment Realm experts!

This is merely one Wing Blade.

What if there were thousands?

What if there were even more formidable black technology than the Wing Blade?

Upon reflection, anything truly seems possible!

He too entered a certain state...

Eagerly wanting to witness the third form!

Ding Dong tested the second form for the fifth time: Laser destruction.

High-intensity lasers shot at the disk, the spectrum directly twisted, rendering the laser ineffective against it.

With testing reaching this point, the second form had achieved perfect success.

And the Wing Blade, depleting its energy source, reverted to its original shape, landing, its glowing dimming slowly.

"Recharge energy and proceed to the third form test!" Zhu Ban's eyes reddened, excitement overwhelming.

Lin Xiaosu replenished the Array Crystal Pillar.

Ding Dong concentrated intensely.

His hand gestures were unusually complex, a sharp grip.

The Wing Blade underwent transformation, a strange change.

The wings folded, morphing into a sword shape.

The head retracted, forming into a sword tip.

Quickly, it matched the exact shape in the concept drawing, yet just as the Wing Blade fully activated.

The Wing Blade plummeted from the sky!

"Damn!" Ding Dong cursed: "The controller burned out!"

Array energy surged like electricity, the array energy highly concentrated, the controller couldn't handle it, burned out.

The third form revealed its shape yet didn't demonstrate its power; the core issue lay not with the Wing Blade itself but rather the controller.

"Young man!" Zhu Ban revealed a rare smile: "Though the third form did not succeed, your concept has been validated, and in the second form, you've achieved complete success. Well done! Truly excellent!"

"Your bland approval is useless?" Ding Dong exclaimed: "I've always said, this ancient technology, any modern supplements are ultimately not the right path!"

Zhu Ban's smile froze.

This brat, isn't he getting a bit arrogant due to his achievements?

Miao Yin Heavenly King frowned slightly.

Ancient technology, modern supplements, aren't the right path.

This sentence stirred something within her...

The whole Wing Blade's power relies on two aspects, one being the energy field, the other the control system.

The problem with the energy field was initially the biggest challenge, Lin Xiaosu solved it, using the Array Crystal Pillar.

Though Array Crystal Pillars are hard to find, with Qianlong's strength, acquiring some isn't impossible, at least a hundred times easier than initially finding those All-attribute Energy Stones.

But what about the control system?
