Chapter 120: Magical Treasure Design Manager
"Flying sword?" Xu Zhengyang was slightly tempted upon hearing that.
Although Xu Zhengyang’s Spirit-Devouring Wild Flame was also a long-range attack method, and its power was notably formidable—
Its drawback was equally obvious.
That was, the Spirit-Devouring Wild Flame lacked in speed, which imposed certain limitations during combat.
Precisely because of this—
Xu Zhengyang immediately said to Yang Hong, “If that’s the case, then the Azure Peak Sword Sect is indeed worth a visit.
Moreover, you and I are both not far from undergoing our first tribulation.
We might as well take this opportunity to witness what a tribulation truly looks like so that we can be better prepared.”
“Mm.”
Yang Hong nodded, then reluctantly bid farewell to Xu Zhengyang, “Senior Brother Xu, I’ll head back first.
Master only gave me half an hour this time.
If I return late,
I’m afraid I’ll get beaten again…”
As he spoke,
Yang Hong waved at Xu Zhengyang, then activated a Paper Crane Talisman to ascend into the air, while saying to him, “I’ve really had enough of this Paper Crane Talisman! Not only is it slow, but it’s also extremely unstable!
If I can enter the Sword Tomb,
I’ll definitely tame a sword that can fly me around!”
Xu Zhengyang laughed at his words and said to Yang Hong, “Even if you can’t bring one out, it doesn’t matter.
Once I reach Foundation Establishment,
I’ll personally forge a flying magical artifact for you.”
“Really?!”
Yang Hong’s face lit up with joy upon hearing that. He immediately cupped his hands and thanked Xu Zhengyang, “If that’s the case, I’ll thank Senior Brother Xu in advance!”
As he spoke,
pressured by Chen Qiang’s tyranny, Yang Hong dared not linger and immediately urged the paper crane to wobble and sway as it flew toward the direction of Mysterious Mechanism Peak.
…
After Yang Hong left,
Xu Zhengyang directly returned to the Meditation Room and crawled back into the Spiritual Pivot Puppet, re-entering a state of accelerated cultivation.
At that moment—
A sudden flash of inspiration struck Xu Zhengyang. He said, “Although I can’t move freely inside the Spiritual Pivot Puppet, my divine sense isn’t affected!
Since that’s the case…
I can totally design and refine a puppet that can carry divine intent, and then use that puppet to handle external tasks!”
Xu Zhengyang acted as soon as he thought of it!
The moment he finished speaking,
he had already closed his eyes and immersed his consciousness into the [Proteus] installed in his mind from his previous life.
Proteus was a powerful electronic design automation software, widely used in the fields of electronic circuit design, simulation, and PCB layout!
In his past life,
engineers not only used this software to design chip structures,
but also simulated the operational characteristics of components like resistors, capacitors, diodes, and operational amplifiers using the built-in simulation engine.
Theoretically—
as long as the simulated chip could operate normally in the software, once physically replicated,
it could be directly used in reality!
…
Based on the books passed down to him by Pei Zhen, Xu Zhengyang had already gained a preliminary understanding of artifact refinement in this world.
He exclaimed excitedly, “So all I need to do is optimize Proteus to be compatible with the materials of the cultivation world.
By replacing the simulated parameters of components like resistors and capacitors in Proteus’s built-in engine with parameters of various cultivation materials,
I can construct a magical treasure model in my mind first,
and then gradually replicate it in the real world!”
Conveniently—
Xu Zhengyang had previously conducted material analysis on some common Tier 1 and Tier 2 Spiritual Materials, and that data was already stored in his database!
“Next up, it’s about optimizing Proteus—importing the data on cultivation materials that I’ve already mastered into the built-in engine.
Then, I’ll also add in the complete diagrams of my 6090 device, the Jade Gourd, and the information Master gave me, and integrate everything.
That way, Proteus will become a Magical Treasure Design Manager more suited to the cultivation world!”
As he spoke,
Xu Zhengyang was full of motivation and eagerly dove into this new project!
…
Although he had the foundation of Proteus,
once Xu Zhengyang actually began modifying it, he realized that although his idea was feasible, there were many overlooked details.
While not difficult to handle individually, these issues were all interconnected—tugging one strand would affect the entire system!
Thus, Xu Zhengyang had to do his utmost to identify all potential issues before beginning the real work.
Then, based on the underlying logic, modify them one by one in the correct order.
If he discovered later on—
that a foundational detail had been overlooked halfway through…
Xu Zhengyang would have no choice but to scrap all completed progress and start over from scratch.
…
A month later—
With the Spiritual Pivot Puppet acting as his external Spiritual Root and helping him absorb the world’s spiritual energy, Xu Zhengyang’s cultivation finally reached the seventh layer of Qi Refining, stepping into the late-stage Qi Refining realm!
Not only that—
After a month of effort, Xu Zhengyang had also managed to build the foundational structure of the Magical Treasure Design Manager!
From here on,
he only needed to feed various cultivation material data into the simulation engine of the Design Manager,
and he would be able to design more complex and advanced magical treasures!
…
On this day—
After Xu Zhengyang completed the validation of the Magical Treasure Design Manager and confirmed that there were no logical flaws,
he was ready to test it out—
by first designing a multifunctional testing puppet capable of evaluating hardness, density, and spiritual energy conduction rate of cultivation materials.
This would help him further enrich his database.
At that moment, however—
the Twilight Shadow Pavilion Restriction Jade Token suddenly vibrated, and Pei Zhen’s voice came from within:
“It’s me.”
Hearing that Pei Zhen had come to see him, Xu Zhengyang was momentarily stunned, then quickly severed his connection with the Spiritual Pivot Puppet.
He immediately summoned the Azure Sky Crane Feather,
and streaked across the sky like a shadow to greet Pei Zhen personally at the door. He said,
“Master, your grand arrival and I failed to welcome you properly—please forgive your disciple!”
“You rascal.”
Pei Zhen chuckled irritably and scolded, “Where did you learn such smooth-tongued flattery? You’ve really got a whole set of it.”
“Hehe…”
Xu Zhengyang chuckled and quickly stepped aside to invite Pei Zhen in. “Master, please come in.”
“Mm.”
Pei Zhen nodded, and only then noticed that Xu Zhengyang had already broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining. He nodded with satisfaction and said, “Not bad.
Even with the aid of the Spiritual Pivot Puppet, breaking through so quickly is proof of a resolute Dao heart and diligent cultivation!”
As he finished speaking,
even the smile at the corners of Pei Zhen’s eyes couldn’t be hidden!
Being able to take in such a reassuring and filial disciple late in life—Pei Zhen truly felt as if he could wake up from a dream laughing.
“Ahem.”
Pei Zhen coughed to hide his grin and then said to Xu Zhengyang, “Yesterday, we received a flying sword message from the Azure Peak Sword Sect.
One of their direct disciples from this generation, Ye Mingyu, will undergo his tribulation in seven days, and they’ve specially invited cultivators of the same generation from various sects to observe.
Go pack your things—
we’ll leave shortly to pay the Azure Peak Sword Sect a visit!”
Upon hearing that, Xu Zhengyang replied immediately, “No need to pack. I carry everything with me. We can leave right now!”
