Chapter 1072
The Reactivation of the Decoy Plan
Li Xiao was completely bewildered because Chu Xuan's train of thought had jumped far too far.
One second they were commenting on the Zerg aliens' combat capabilities, and the next second this person suddenly told them to advance directly to the Golden Core stage, and even to do so with Chen Zilong.
Thinking to himself, Li Xiao subconsciously looked at Zhan Lan, Zheng Zha, Chu Xuan, and other veterans from the Demon Team.
Sure enough, the entire Demon Team was looking at him and Chen Zilong with strange eyes.
After working side by side for so long, we at least know each other's names.
Because of the battle, they even speculated about each other's enhancements and abilities.
Chen Zilong's Great Celestial Technique has no distinctive features, but Li Xiao's Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill is far more eye-catching.
It's like a 300-watt light bulb, and you can imagine how dazzling it is at night.
Just as Li Xiao had thought.
After Chu Xuan spoke, Zhan Lan finally had time to spare her mental energy to connect with her teammates because she was taking a break.
Zhan Lan spoke first: "The exchange for the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill is an internal energy cultivation method with an A-level side quest value, but I don't remember this skill being able to condense a golden core."
Of course, unless their concept of the Golden Elixir is different from ours, but I think that's highly unlikely.
Amyya then asked, "Is it possible to jump directly from the internal energy cultivation system to the cultivation system?"
Chu Xuan's voice remained calm as always: "The two have similar energy attributes, so that's a possibility, but that's not enough. If I'm not mistaken, they should have also obtained the ruins, and they are the ruins of cultivators."
The possibility of this happening is even greater given the simultaneous deaths of Zheng Zha from the Central Continent Team and Xiao Honglu from the cultivation system.
Li Xiao realized what was happening while the Demon Team was discussing.
(During the team battle, in front of the Demon Team, I and Chen Zilong were made to undergo the Golden Core Tribulation.)
What is Chu Xuan trying to do?
If the Demon Team turns against us, my two main players, Chen Zilong and I, could be severely injured instantly.
Even if the Zhongzhou team doesn't get wiped out thanks to their previous success, they will still suffer heavy losses. They might even be able to break through the base they've finally managed to stabilize.
I understand now, Chu Xuan did it on purpose.
He was testing the Demon Team—no, not the Demons, but the Senzhou Team that had been observing from the shadows!
Would they let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip by? So, is this another of Chu Xuan's signature bait schemes?
At this moment, the aliens and fully automated weapons are displaying their formidable power.
If the Senzhou team were to observe this, they would notice a problem: can they really defeat us in a limited time by relying on the Zerg army?
Once this problem arises, coupled with Chen Zilong and I undergoing the Golden Core Tribulation, let's not even talk about whether the Demon Team will turn against us.
The probability of Morizuka Team acting as a third party will increase significantly.
besides!!!
The rate of alien reproduction cannot be controlled, but the construction of a universal factory can start from a single point.
If I'm not mistaken, the metal barrier was formed as a single unit and launched simultaneously during the attack.
So, is it Chu Xuan of the Demon Team deliberately waiting for the alien to mature?
What exactly are those two trying to do?
And yet, it will never be laid bare and explained openly.
How was Chu Xuan so certain that the Demon Team wouldn't betray them?
Thoughts flashed through my mind in an instant.
Li Xiao's gaze swept across the room, finally settling on the church.
(It's Brother Jie!)
Chu Xuan must have had Brother Jie do something to control the Demon Team? Or has he already hypnotized them?
Or perhaps it's overclocking mode?
………Understood!
It was an exchange of weaknesses between the two sides.
Whether it's overclocking or integrating the Philosopher's Stone into the body, both are methods of control employed by the other party.
Only with two Chu Xuans can they ensure that the opponent will not cause harm to their team.
But is that really the case?
What Li Xiao didn't notice at that moment was...
He hasn't unlocked the third stage of his genetic potential, yet he's displaying wisdom and a way of thinking comparable to Zhan Lan or even Xiao Honglu.
Before Chen Zilong could figure out what was going on.
Li Xiao looked at Chu Xuan in his own team and nodded directly:
"Okay, Chen Zilong and I will advance!"
"and many more!"
These two sentences appeared almost simultaneously.
Chen Zilong stared wide-eyed at Chu Xuan and Li Xiao.
His face practically screamed a message.
(Did you two forget to let me know when you had your meeting???)
(How come I don't know anything about this?)
Chen Zilong, bewildered, spoke:
"Chu Xuan, in this situation you want us both to advance to the Golden Core stage?"
"Although Li Xiao and I will become stronger after advancing, isn't this a bit too risky?"
As he spoke, Chen Zilong winked, practically making it clear that he didn't trust certain people.
The members of the Demon Team watched with twitching lips.
After all, we're all so close together, who are you trying to fool with that funny face?
Zhongzhou Chuxuan, seeing Chen Zilong ignore this person's performance, calmly said:
"After three hours, both the aliens and the automated weapons will enter a cooldown period."
At that time, the Zerg controlled by the Senzhou team will inevitably become even more frenzied, and even if there is a nuclear bomb to clear the field, it can buy time to regroup.
However, your physical strength and mental state, as you have shown so far, are extremely worrying.
And don't forget that you and Li Xiao both have Philosopher's Stones inside you, solidifying your bodies.
"Given the current environment, this kind of opportunity is extremely rare."
"Secondly, I also want to test whether the lightning tribulation can affect the interdimensional portal opened by the Zerg."
"Even if you can't, you can still use the wide-range destructive properties of lightning tribulation to buy more rest time for the others!"
The words Chen Zilong didn't say were all stuck in Chu Xuan's throat.
Finally, this person could only look to Li Xiao for help.
Li Xiao nodded seriously, and Chen Zilong finally agreed.
Then Chu Xuan threw a vial of scarlet medicine at Li Xiao.
"This is a temporary bloodline potion that I extracted using Tyrannosaurus Rex genes."
Li Xiao understood Chu Xuan's meaning after only a moment's thought and nodded.
Seeing the puzzled looks on Zhan Lan and the others, Li Xiao understood something else.
Demon Chu Xuan and even others believed that Chu Xuan of the Central Continent Team used the Tyrannosaurus Rex gene to enhance the Xenomorph.
However, Zhongzhou Chuxuan's purpose was for this potion, or rather, for the double A-grade defensive magic weapon, the Thousand Scale Armor, which Li Xiao had thrown into his spatial ring to gather dust!
He hadn't forgotten that only those with dragon blood could use the Thousand Scale Armor, but the question was, was a Tyrannosaurus Rex considered a dragon?
Well, maybe I should count!
Zhan Lan and Demon Chu Xuan reacted quickly, and the two of them figured it out in an instant. Although they did not know about the existence of the Ten Thousand Scale Armor, it did not prevent them from making inferences, especially after they determined that the Central Continent Team had entered the ruins.
None of those still alive are fools.
The others, who were not involved, closed their eyes again and began to rest. As for what each of them was thinking, that remains unknown.
Li Xiao and Chen Zilong then began to adjust themselves.
"Two kilometers is too close, so I suggest that you two advance to the Golden Core stage at the same time. With your physical strength and the Philosopher's Stone, you can withstand even the increased lightning tribulation."
Upon hearing Chu Xuan's words, Li chuckled.
This is clearly because they're afraid that by having the two brilliant minds from the Senzhou team undergo tribulations one by one, they won't be able to attract them.
Only when two people undergo tribulation together can there be enough attraction.
Even Li Xiao and Chen Zilong need to put on an act.
Because of the prolonged battle, his internal cultivation technique broke through, triggering a tribulation of lightning, forcing him to risk undergoing the tribulation in this dangerous situation.
After all, this makes perfect sense, doesn't it?
However, Chu Xuan was not lying. Using lightning tribulation to temper the physical body can indeed maximize the benefits, especially when it can continuously recover.
But that depends on the situation.
Having decided to advance to the Golden Core stage, there was no need for hesitation. One from the south, one from the north, the two sat cross-legged atop the metal walls facing each other.
Time began to pass quickly.
The number of aliens increased rapidly.
An hour later, at the peak that Chu Xuan mentioned.
Outside the automated positions, the area was completely filled with densely packed Zerg aliens.
The aliens in the sky pushed the battle line ten kilometers away.
So much so that the air finally quieted down.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Before Li Xiao were the aliens and insectoids locked in a fierce, clearly defined battle.
Before Chen Zilong was a relentless wave of gunfire and cannons.
Screams and gunshots became the main theme of this space.
Faced with this situation, after Chu Xuan's voice rang out...
The two suddenly opened their eyes, took a deep breath, and then took out two pills from their respective spatial rings.
The elixir floated into the air and finally entered the mouths of the two people.
In front of the church, Zhan Lan and Zheng Zha exchanged a glance upon witnessing this scene.
They were just thinking about a question.
That means that the Golden Core in the cultivation system is not so easy to achieve.
Generally speaking, only after reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment can one use their personal will to compress and condense the spiritual energy within their body, and then trigger the tribulation lightning.
Therefore, it is obvious that Chen Zilong and Li Xiao from the Zhongzhou team are not.
Zheng Zha pondered, "Is it a pill from the cultivation system?"
Zhan Lan nodded and said in a low voice:
"It looks like a pill that's a level higher than the Foundation Establishment Pill. As for the other one, I guess it's something that helps with breaking through to higher realms."
"So, we can be sure now, right?"
Zhan Lan nodded at Zheng Zha.
Rubbing his hair, he said, "I think Chu Xuan must have figured it out a long time ago, otherwise..."
As Zhan Lan spoke, her fingers unconsciously brushed against the overclocking equipment she wore behind her ear.
Then they all fell silent.
Just as much as the Central Continent Team showed in front of them, so did they in front of the Central Continent Team.
But in the very next moment...
Zheng Zha suddenly sensed something and his mind stirred.
A hand formed from black flames beside him and reached out to the side.
A pale white dot of light appeared in the sky and was enveloped in black flames.
When the white object came into contact with the black flames, it made a hissing sound.
"This is... spiritual energy?"
"Is there spiritual energy in the world of Resident Evil?"
As the first wisp of spiritual energy appeared, more and more specks of white light began to appear in the darkness.
Suddenly, Zhan Lan remembered something and called out to those behind her, "Amya, share your gaze with me, look up!"
Within the mental link, the all-knowing eye's gaze shifted rapidly.
Both the Central Continent Team and the Demon Team then realized something.
That is, the world of Resident Evil does not have the spiritual energy needed for cultivation.
At this moment, all this spiritual energy was actually flying out from the holes from which the insectoid race was emerging.
Having recovered his composure, Saito realized what was happening upon seeing this scene and exclaimed:
"I was wondering why Chu Xuan suddenly made them form their cores. The spiritual energy in the place where these insectoids are located is so rich."
So aren't these black hole connections essentially free springs of spiritual energy?
As he spoke, he nodded to himself, "For these insects to grow this big, the spiritual energy concentration in the insect world must be quite high."
"Wait, if we look at it this way, these aren't actually insectoids, but rather the demon race from those cultivation novels?"
"hiss!"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao, who was standing next to him, also gasped: "Now that you mention it, it's actually quite possible."
"So we're not actually facing the Zerg, but the Demon Race???"
Saito shook his head: "I don't know either. This is when Chen Zilong's super wisdom is needed, but unfortunately he's busy right now."
Cheng Xiao nodded in deep agreement.
Hearing the analysis from the two clowns of the Central Continent Team, Demon Zhan Lan had to explain after a wry smile:
"Whether it is spiritual power or true essence power, it is a kind of free energy in space, especially at the junction of space."
"You can think of it as a world where the Zerg live having a hole opened up, so a lot of spiritual energy rushed in, just like the siphon effect from high water level to low water level."
"I think Chu Xuan from the Central Continent Team proposed this plan because he noticed the abnormal concentration of spiritual energy."
"After all, this arena is like a closed depression where all spiritual energy will automatically sink and not dissipate."
"The formation of the Golden Elixir in this environment is no less than that of some legendary blessed lands."
Zhan Lan's voice was not quiet; it could be said that both teams could hear it clearly.
Saito nodded: "I see. Hmm, wait, what's the plan?"
"You didn't mention any plans just now?"
The outside disturbances have long since faded away from Chen Zilong and Li Xiao.
The two pills in his mouth turned into two liquids, one cold and one hot.
One goes down, and one goes up.
The condensed golden elixir transformed into a stream of heat that flowed directly into the dantian, which contained a large amount of true energy.
The Dust-Breaking Pill then transformed into a cold liquid that rushed into the brain.
As the medicinal power of the Condensing Gold Pill touched the True Yuan Power, the two instantly boiled, and the brain felt as if a great bell was ringing in the ears.
It was just a fleeting moment.
Chen Zilong's eyes suddenly widened.
Because he noticed that everything around him was moving rapidly away.
Whether it's the metal building beneath them, the robots beside them, the constantly roaring automated guns, or the Zerg in the distance.
They all pressed the mute button instantly.
Just like the first exchange in the God Space, mysterious voices began to resound from all directions.
Heaven and Earth set their positions, and the Easy Way operates within them.
Its course is unpredictable, its position constantly shifting.
The sun and moon represent change, and the combination of strength and gentleness.
From the transition between chaos and enlightenment, clarity naturally arises!
From the moment the sound appeared, Chen Zilong's world was filled with countless mysterious and incomprehensible words and ideas.
The feeling, as far as his wisdom could describe it, was that before he could even understand the meaning of the previous sentence, the next sentence would rush in and be shoved into his head.
It was at this moment that Chen Zilong realized one thing: he was still quite far from mastering the Great Celestial Immortal Technique.
But at this very moment, this distance is being propelled forward by some force.
Perhaps it was the outrageously dense spiritual energy surrounding us, or perhaps it was the elixir obtained from the ruins.
Regardless, this was only the beginning, but Chen Zilong had a strong premonition that the Golden Core would be formed! (End of Chapter)
