Mount Tianwang, the highest peak of Saturn.
The towering altitude was like scraping the sky. Endless clouds were floating beneath the peak. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, the vast land could not be seen. One could only see the sea of clouds; white and dark clouds spread across the horizon. Blade-like wind was blowing throughout the year; it was like the legendary aura wind, leaving countless scratches on the mountain walls that were thicker than Earth’s metal.
This was the slashing wind that hindered ordinary men from climbing up Mount Tianwang. It would be impossible to pass through this wind without special equipment or an ultimately powerful martial strength.
There was hardly any useful natural resource here, all it had was rocks; even the snow wouldn’t cover this mountain.
There was nothing of value here at all, almost no one would come. The slashing wind and the fact that the peak wasn’t even rank in the Federation’s first twenty made the situation even worse, no one would even look at this place.
This was the place where Saturn’s Founding Society base was located.
Mount Tianwang was quite an inaccessible place. It had the special wind that didn’t exist on other planets and rocks of no value; people eventually stopped coming here.
The huge mountain peak maintained its original geography, as if there was no trace of artificial carving. However, for a man with excellent ability to observe, it could be found under close observation that there were several strange and huge rocks here.
Those were the entrance to the Founding Society at Mount Tianwang. The personnel dressed in white special clothing hurried through the corridor on each floor of the base. Everyone seemed only paying attention to the datasheets in their hands, as if everyone around them were air.
Occasionally, there would be some small discussion groups of two or three people, and they would be nervously discussing while walking.
White clothes, white hats, and some sort of white gas masks; almost everyone’s face was hidden under it.
Looking at their facial expressions, they were no different from ordinary scientific researchers. It was hard to imagine that they were a group of mad scientists who artificially created the so-called Copper Solar Constitution and the creatures that did not belong to this world.
A series of inhuman screams were heard from different laboratories. Many researchers were observing the situation inside the room through transparent tempered glass.
“This is one of our newly developed insect warriors.”
In the long corridor located three levels below the entrance, there was a group of men and women who were not in those uniforms. Some of them were in casual clothing and some of them were in formal suits, they looked more like tourists visiting places of interest.
In the center of the crowd stood a young man with silky skin and glimmering eyes. Under careful observation, he had an aura that was impossible to be owned at such a young age. Without practicing for a few decades, it would be impossible to own such a honed aura.
This man’s appearance was very young; his skin was soft like a child’s, even his eyes looked so innocent. He seemed to be curious about everything.
The introducer looked straight at him. The people around him also focused most of their attention on him.
The Founding Society members who occasionally passed by did not pay much attention to this martial artist. The only thing they cared about was how the various data reflected in the reports.
However, for the people who accompanied this martial artist, they had to entertain him carefully. He was Nezha! The Elysium martial artist whose position was even higher than the Eight Immortals.
He was one of the top martial artists; second only to Monkey, Yang Jian, and Guanyin!
This was an era where martial artists were the ones to be looked up to. Even the arrogant Founding Society would pay some respect to someone like Nezha.
In particular, a lot of things seemed to be happening to Elysium during this period, and some of their strong martial artists died. The Founding Society showed even greater interest in them.
There were not many strong martial dao masters in the Federation. Any one of the strong ones would be an invaluable resource for the Founding Society. If they could analyze one of them or could conduct some experiments, they would get a lot more data than they could get from ordinary people.
But would it be so easy to find a martial dao master? It wouldn’t! Especially for organizations like the Founding Society, it was difficult for them to collect martial dao masters.
After Lan Caihe’s death and surgery, the Founding Society got a lot of information. They also came to know the various inferential mistakes they had made previously, and they revised a lot of their information based on that. If they could get another body of a strong martial artist for their research again, then it might be possible to make an insect warrior which could be controlled and even have self-consciousness.
To achieve this, Dr. Ronna, who led the team, was confident. Therefore, it was crucial to lobby Nezha who represented the Elysium in his visit, so they would believe in the project and would agree to give the Founding Society one or two martial dao masters for this.
In a glass room stood an insect warrior who was turning its head, looking at Nezha’s team standing outside the room. There was a martial dao master standing beside it. This was a guardian who could rarely be found in the Founding Society, they couldn’t risk making him a research experiment.
“Before becoming an insect warrior, this martial artist had only the strength of an eleven-star. Please take a look at it now.” Dr. Ronna smiled and looked at the bulked up insect warrior, who turned to do some maths on a blackboard. “It has the strength which can top any of the fourteen-star! I believe that any of the fourteen-star martial artists in the world, even if they completed the Nirvana Marrow Transformation Great Inborn, as long as they have not become a fifteen-star, will definitely lose to our insect warrior.”
The insect warrior completed a series of difficult calculations at a high speed. Nezha was surprised. Lan Caihe didn’t have this ability. At that time, he no longer has any ordinary abilities except for his aggressiveness. He became a monster that eats even raw meat.
“It’s invincible among fourteen-stars?” Nezha was doubtful as he looked at Dr. Ronna.
“Yes!” Ronna further messed up his own blond hair, “Our research on insect warrior is definitely more advanced than the so-called biochemical beast! This batch of insect warriors is also equipped with the special ability of regeneration. Of course, the cost of making these has increased a lot, so it can’t be applied to produce a large batch of insect warriors yet. But I believe it can be done in the near future. If the Elysium agrees to our proposal, I could guarantee a huge improvement in strength for the martial dao masters who go through our process. This also plays a vital role to help us breakthrough our research, studying how we can directly make an insect warrior a martial dao master without actually converting a martial dao master.”
Nezha looked at Ronna and smiled. The insect warriors were indeed good, but they want to upgrade the fifteen-star and below martial artists into martial dao masters, just by converting them into insect warriors? These scientists are crazy, they are really looking down on our secrets as martial dao masters!
If science can explain everything in this world, then scientists have long become God from the Bible.
There are many things in this world which couldn’t be fully explained even by science. For example, a martial dao master! Nezha looked again to the fourteen-star insect warrior behind the glass. This was indeed an insect warrior with its thinking ability; some sort of wisdom could be seen in its eyes, and it was clear that it had self-consciousness.
A roar came out from the insect warrior.
Nezha raised his eyes at the roaring insect warrior behind the glass and smiled softly. It really has the ability to think; it’s angry just because of my disdainful look. This is really unexpected.
“It’s invincible among fourteen-stars?” Nezha turned to Dr. Ronna with a faint smile.
“Yes! It’s invincible among fourteen-stars!” Ronna looked confidently at Nezha.
“Little Demon, kill it.”
Nezha looked at a woman beside him emotionlessly. The fourteen-star martial artist pushed open the door and walked into it. The insect warrior sensed her hostility, it roared again and stamped the steel floor under its feet until it was deformed. It charged like a cannonball at the woman who aged around twenty-something years old.
Dr. Ronna closed his eyes subconsciously as he didn’t want to see how this beautiful woman being killed by the insect warrior. His eyes were half-closed, and he saw their fourteen-star martial artist that they had carefully developed lose its head entirely.
The woman named Little Demon looked at her pale green warrior suit, not a single splash of blood could be found on it. She licked the blood on her fist and walked out of the room with a faint smile.
“How was it?” Nezha didn’t look at Ronna but he focused on the woman named Little Demon.
“It’s really not bad.” Little Demon nodded, “For some thirteen-star martial artists who have the ability to challenge someone one-star above them, they don’t stand a chance in defeating it. Except for a few genius fourteen-star martial artists, it does have invincible strength.”
Nezha nodded, satisfied. It seems that the Founding Society’s research on insect warriors has made great progress. If they can convert all four of the remaining Immortals into insect warriors, it could actually greatly improve the Elysium’s strength.
Nezha’s innocent eyes suddenly had a glimmer of cruelty. With the emergence of the monster-like Emperor of Inferno, the Elysium’s Eight Immortals who were once the strongest on Saturn were clearly outplayed by the Inferno. If this goes on, all eight of them will be killed by the Emperor of Inferno sooner or later.
This doesn’t meet Elysium’s principle of gain! Since the Eight Immortals can’t keep up with their strength improvement, then they are getting more and more useless to Elysium. It is better to simply bring them all to the Founding Society where they can contribute once again to Elysium.
Ronna looked at Nezha, who was contemplating, and he was secretly happy. It seems that things are going well! If that’s the case, it would be great! These guys who seem to have thinking ability, it’s just a gift to them from the Founding Society. It wouldn’t be hard for us to recover this gift. By that time, who will be the owner for those strong insect warriors, Elysium or the Founding Society? Only the Founding Society will know the answer to it!
A phone call interrupted Nezha’s thoughts. The projection screen showed the natural cemetery forest; an Elysium’s martial artist was covered in blood and laying in the grass, panting, “Report, report… we have found new metals and energy. But Qin Fen from the military suddenly appeared. He killed Han Zhongli and Tie Guaili, injured Lu Dongbin and He Xiangu, and he took away the new energy and new metals. And something appeared here……”
The projection was distorted again. Nezha violently hit his phone but received no response from it. His powerful strength could kill people instantly, but he couldn’t fix a phone which was a scientific product with his strength. The only thing he managed to do with his violent blow was smash the phone.
“Qin Fen? Han Zhongli and Tie Guaili are dead? It’s Qin Fen again? He Xiangu and Lu Dongbin better be alive if they are lucky. Our insect warrior project needs their help. I didn’t expect Qin Fen to be this strong. Looks like I’ll have to do this myself.” Nezha waved his arm abruptly; he suddenly raised his eyes and turned to look at the corridor, “Lu Dongbin, He Xiangu, why are you two here? Who’s the guy beside you?”
“He is Qin Fen.”
