Chapter 68: The Truth Society's Retaliation, (1)
January in Magic City, the temperature skewed low, hovering near freezing.
People on the streets had begun putting on coats, preparing for winter.
Jinshan Villa District, Villa 66.
On the balcony, Su Yuan lay back in a reclining chair wearing a short-sleeved shirt.
He paid no heed to the cold in the air.
In fact, with Su Yuan’s current physique, never mind a few degrees below zero,
even twenty or thirty degrees below zero would not register as cold to him.
Su Yuan could even open his qi and blood circulation, raising the temperature in several hundred meters around him by a few degrees if he wished.
Right now his body was like a burning furnace, ready at any moment to erupt terrifying energy.
“The six-dimensional cultivation method is truly profoundly mysterious……” Su Yuan closed his eyes slightly, thinking idly, “the more I cultivate, the more I can feel how this method affects my life’s six dimensions……”Su Yuan had been cultivating for half a year now. He was no longer the novice he had been the first time he practiced, and he had developed his own criteria for judging the quality of a cultivation method.
“But since this is the cultivation method I practice, the more mysterious it is, the better.”
Su Yuan thought to himself.
A cultivation method concerns the evolution of life. The earlier one cultivates a higher-level method, the more it helps one’s own development. It’s like laying a foundation: the better the foundation, the taller and more stable the building you can construct.
“Speaking of which, my current strength has already reached the Level 2 limit.”
Su Yuan glanced at the darkened sky. Over the past four months, everything had proceeded in an orderly fashion.
All matters had been planned: his layout across the world, his own cultivation, and so on.
“Level 2 limit……”
A smile appeared on Su Yuan’s face. If he wanted, he could break through at any time and step into Level 3.
Of course, Su Yuan still intended to follow the cultivation schedule the gray mirror had given him.
Namely, he would breakthrough in one hour.
Because Su Yuan’s comprehensive condition would peak in an hour.
That would be the safest moment for a breakthrough, and his mastery over the power would be completed most quickly.
When breaking through life tiers, one’s personal state is crucial. Many high-level lifeforms choose to seclude themselves for months or years before a breakthrough, hoping to find their peak state during that time and then break through at the peak.
Su Yuan did not need to seclude himself to search for it;
the gray mirror directly told him the exact time.
He exhaled.
After resting on the balcony a little longer, Su Yuan changed his clothes and walked into the living room.
"Little Blue."
“Master, Little Blue is present.”
A mechanical composite voice sounded.
“How’s your learning these past few months?”
Su Yuan asked.
As a true artificial intelligence, Little Blue’s greatest strength was its continuous learning ability.
“Master, at present the Blue Star network holds no secrets from Little Blue……”
Little Blue replied.
A little over four months ago there were still over a hundred places on the Blue Star network that Little Blue couldn’t silently infiltrate.
Now, after four months of study and probing, wherever there is a network, Little Blue can slip in easily, even take over directly.
In other words, across the Blue Star’s nations—be it Xia Country or the Truth Society beyond the ocean—the things happening on their networks are all under Little Blue’s watchful eye.
“Good.”
Su Yuan nodded slightly.
“How’s the mining of minerals and metals in the Southern Ocean and other regions going?”
Su Yuan asked casually.
Over the past four months, besides the Southern Ocean, Su Yuan had been laying plans in various parts of the world, such as Oceania, Africa, Antarctica, and so on.
The goal was to extract the desired minerals and metals to manufacture corresponding technological weapons.
These minerals and metals hadn’t even been detected by the Truth Society and thus were undefended;
Su Yuan had extracted them with ease.
“Master, the quantity for the first stage has already been mined, and it is currently being transported to the Southern Ocean……”
Little Blue reported.
“Mm.”
Su Yuan nodded.
Over the past four months,
with Aromu, Zhou Yu and two other Level 1 lifeforms stationed in the Southern Ocean, that region had completely become Su Yuan’s territory.
On the surface, the Southern Ocean nations still fought amongst themselves, but with a single word from Su Yuan, they could be unified in short order—armies, technology, everything could be centralized.
......
In four months, the thirteen laboratories Su Yuan built had all produced critical effects.
Laboratory 1’s wireless communication technologies had already been put into formal use;
Su Yuan could completely control the Southern Ocean nations. The wireless tech played a major role—without it, the Truth Society’s monitoring of those nations would have detected anomalies long ago, and they wouldn’t be this slow to react.
Laboratory 4’s human modification technology had cultivated twelve Level 1 lifeforms under Su Yuan’s command, and nearly a hundred experts at Hidden Force and Transforming Force levels.
These subordinates had been dispersed around the world by Su Yuan for future operations.
And Laboratory 7, responsible for gravity chamber research, had successfully developed a 35x gravity chamber, enough to satisfy Su Yuan’s upcoming Level 3 cultivation needs.
......
While Su Yuan was lost in thought,
the artificial intelligence Little Blue seemed to detect something and immediately began to speak:
“Master, you asked me to monitor the Truth Society’s movements…… The Truth Society is now mobilizing a large number of members, boarding aircraft and heading toward Fuso……”
“Heading toward Fuso?” Su Yuan’s face showed a trace of strangeness.
Four months ago, the Truth Society’s Seven-Eye member George had directly contacted Sasuke Genboku, demanding he hand over the Molten Flame Spirit Crystal within a week, or suffer the consequences.
Sasuke Genboku had regretted it on the spot and intended to contact Sasuke Genpu to get the Molten Flame Spirit Crystal.
Unfortunately, Sasuke Genpu could not be reached.
So a week later, the Seven-Eye member George contacted Sasuke Genboku again.
Sasuke Genboku dared not conceal anything and had to lay out Sasuke Genpu’s plan in full.
Finally Sasuke Genboku pounded his chest and promised that he would definitely find Sasuke Genpu and would hand over the Molten Flame Spirit Crystal intact.
Seeing Sasuke Genboku’s sincerity, the Seven-Eye member George gave Sasuke Genboku one month.
However, after one month Sasuke Genboku still hadn’t found Sasuke Genpu, so he requested another month.
Although angry, George understood regaining the Molten Flame Spirit Crystal was the priority and agreed again.
Thus one month after another month passed.
A full four months went by.
Sasuke Genboku searched everywhere Sasuke Genpu might have gone and found no trace.
By then, the Truth Society’s patience with Fuso had reached its limit.
They also concluded all of this was just Sasuke Genboku’s stalling tactic.
So one hour ago, the Truth Society’s founder issued an order to begin a purge and retaliation against Fuso.
“Bring up Fuso’s surveillance footage.”
Su Yuan said.
“All right, Master.”
Little Blue answered.
The next moment,
projected images automatically opened on the wall in front of them.
A series of surveillance scenes appeared, showing the area outside Fuso, with aircraft rapidly approaching.
