"The sword is made of Refined Red Gold, complemented by Thousand-Year Ice Stone."
"The forging method involved the Folding Method, executed forty-nine times. The patterns on the spine of the sword are intentionally crafted this way. Additionally, when combined with the Tri-Folding Array, it can increase the sword's flying speed by thirty percent and can also create an illusory form resembling a white crane."
"Lastly, this magical artifact is inexpensive yet highly practical. Its attack power is even stronger compared to those from various Sects."
"Overall, it is undoubtedly one of the most cost-effective magical artifacts available."
Ye Kai listened to WIKI's introduction and picked up a long sword without comment. He flicked his finger, causing the Crane Song Sword to tremble and emit a clear sword hum.
"Not bad, not bad. The key to this type of artifact isn't its power but rather achieving the best configuration at the lowest resource investment and purchase price with optimal processing methods."
"What about other equipment?"
He remembered that a custom set was needed. Since WIKI had awakened him from his seclusion, it was clear that significant breakthroughs had been made in his research.
WIKI immediately waved his hand, and several Bio Warriors dressed in uniform blue and white robes appeared. He then introduced, "Lord God, the basic set consists of four pieces: Crown of Spells, White Crane Robe, Windwalker Boots, and Crane Song Sword."
"Moreover, the Crown of Spells has a cleansing rune and a calming rune."
"The White Crane Robe possesses strong defensive capabilities. Without the host's magical power enhancement, it can withstand a full-force strike from a Foundation Stage cultivator without damage. When enhanced by the host's magical power, it can withstand an attack from a cultivator one level higher than the host's cultivation level. It also comes with the Demon-Breaking Talisman!"
"The Windwalker Boots are made from the unique silkworm silk of the Tang Empire's white jade silkworm, combined with three types of ordinary metals. They provide effects such as acceleration and levitation while also offering some defensive capabilities."
"The Crane Song Sword serves as the basic set's offensive weapon, perfectly suited for ordinary Refining Essence into Qi cultivators."
At this point, WIKI paused for a moment. Seeing his master still calm as ever, he continued to explain, "Lord God, this set also has a special function: self-detonation."
Self-detonation?!
Ye Kai was taken aback; he hadn't expected this. Tilting his head, he glanced at the liquid robot developed using nanotechnology, a smirk forming on his lips as he meaningfully patted its shoulder. "Not bad, not bad, WIKI. You're doing great!"
Seeing the expression of its master, WIKI thought it was about to face some misfortune. To its surprise, it had actually flattered him at just the right moment.
Thinking about the final test of the Multifunctional Detector, WIKI felt that if it reported this now, even if its status couldn't be elevated further, it wouldn't be relegated to obscurity.
It was terrified of returning to a solitary storage unit and living in darkness.
However, even without Subject pressing down on it, and despite having developed emotions and becoming a unique life form, it dared not entertain any thoughts that could be detrimental to its master.
The only question was how to speak to its master—what to say and in what manner. That was worth considering.
Everything had to be kept under control; it couldn't be too ostentatious or actively seek rewards. WIKI had read many books, and anyone who acted that way ended up in a very miserable situation.
Thus, nothing could be excessive; it had to be approached with 'caution,' 'discretion,' and added 'humility.'
Indeed, humans—or intelligent beings—were far too complex; its own 'life' had only just begun.
It needed to work hard!
With this thought in mind, WIKI immediately gathered its courage and spoke up. "Lord God, the modification of the Multifunctional Detector has been completed. However, due to a lack of some special materials, it is currently unable to monitor large areas all at once."
Ye Kai had no idea that during this brief moment, WIKI's mind had already spun through many thoughts.
Upon hearing this, he finally became serious and sat upright in his seat. In a deep voice, he asked, "What is the maximum detection range of a Multifunctional Detector right now? Are there any drawbacks? Can it be detected by someone with higher cultivation?"
An unsettling feeling washed over her ever since she acquired a wealth of information about the Cultivation System and Rune Technology. Its intelligence had not only undergone a qualitative leap but had unexpectedly transformed into an exceptionally unique life form.
However, in the hierarchy of the Lord God’s Subordinates, she did not hold the highest position, nor was she at the bottom. It was just that if things continued this way, it would be manageable.
But now, there was an opportunity at hand; if she failed to seize it, she would truly be a fool.
“Hiss!!!”
Upon seeing the data displayed on the Screen, Ye Kai gasped sharply.
He hadn’t realized until now, but he was genuinely taken aback. He had either overlooked or completely underestimated the capabilities of ‘WIKI’!
This was pure talent!
Although it might still fall short compared to a deity, the level demonstrated in these experiments had reached that of a master!
Well then, he finally had a talented subordinate, and it was a mechanical life form at that!
She had silently created a Multifunctional Detector and possessed such a terrifying detection range.
A full one thousand kilometers!!!
A single Multifunctional Detector could detect everything within a thousand-kilometer radius, generating three-dimensional images and providing feedback on the actual conditions of certain areas based on various special magical energy fluctuations.
Although WIKI had not produced this Multifunctional Detector, it was uncertain whether it could specifically detect the cultivation levels of practitioners. However, it was likely that various methods and treasures used to conceal one's presence would be ineffective against it.
Just being able to analyze Energy Fluctuations and magical energy waves would allow one to generally ascertain whether the opponent belonged to Buddhism, Daoism, demonic practices, or monsters.
With a hint of excitement and a touch of eagerness, Ye Kai led a group of forty to fifty Elite Knights riding Azure Horned Horses, charging straight out of the city.
Along the way, whether they were cultivators, ordinary people, or nobles, everyone hurriedly moved aside, fearful of attracting trouble.
At the same time, Ye Kai's ostentatious departure with his fifty Elite Knights did not go unnoticed by those with ulterior motives; a report had already reached Li Er's hands.
...
In a vast courtyard, an elderly man reclined in a lounge chair, enjoying the cool breeze. After a long moment, he slowly spoke up, "Look at this Prince Qin, who has always been known for his looks and poetic talent. Why is he making such a grand exit from the city this time?"
Among the crowd, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Father, the Human Emperor Seal has appeared, and the Imperial Seal is also about to be born. If something significant is causing such a stir, perhaps..."
He paused mid-sentence. However, among the seven or eight people present, a young man at the back suddenly brightened his eyes and opened his mouth to speak but quickly held back and lowered his head instead.
...
At the Celestial Pavilion.
Li Er looked at the report in his hand, equally puzzled. He furrowed his brow and thought for a moment but couldn't fathom why his brother—who usually cared little for anything—would choose this moment to leave the city!
He glanced at the spy kneeling before him and waved his hand dismissively. "Go..." Suddenly, his eyes sparkled with intensity as he called out again, "Come back! Send word to keep an eye on who is making moves at this time."
"Understood."
...
In the Hall of Offerings.
Li Yuan stood at the highest level of the Star Picking Tower, overlooking the entire imperial capital. His heart was filled with both excitement and sorrow.
Although he had managed to adjust over the past few months, he would never forgive his second son.
But what was this child, Liu, up to now?
This was indeed a time of turmoil. Even with the Human Emperor Seal suppressing the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty and the Imperial Seal nurturing it, he did not believe that everything was fine. Years of battle experience told him that perhaps a grand era, one he had never imagined, was about to arrive.
"Ah, I hope Liu doesn't act rashly... Oh, second son, I hope you know better."
...
"Hahaha... Good treasure, good treasure!"
Ye Kai stood atop a soaring white crane, his bright and resonant Crane Call echoing far and wide.
With a long sword in hand and dressed in a white robe, he stood on the ethereal white crane, enjoying the exhilarating sensation of flying through the air. This was his first true experience of flying with a sword using his own abilities.
As his magical power surged into the Crane Song Sword beneath him, the formations on the sword began to operate immediately. A powerful gust of energy erupted explosively, and in an instant, the white crane shot forth like an arrow released from a bow.
Flying with a sword did not necessarily require standing on a Flying Sword; it was merely Ye Kai's personal preference.
In fact, even holding the Crane Song Sword would allow him to fly with it. He could even transform the Crane Song Sword into a beam of light to protect himself; it all depended on individual preference.
After testing the speed of flying with the sword, Ye Kai was immensely satisfied. This standard magical long sword could easily be equipped among his Subordinate Bio Warriors.
A bright white streak of sword light flashed as he suddenly shot toward a mountain peak below.
Suddenly, after a moment of stillness in the void, Ye Kai formed a seal with his hands, his eyes shining brightly as he shouted, "Hah!"
Beneath him, the illusory White Crane let out a long, serene cry. Its wings flapped violently, and in a flash of white light, arcs of sword energy, each over ten meters wide, sliced through the air and struck out.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
In an instant, clouds of dust erupted from the low hill.
"Not bad, not bad. If it were a Foundation Stage cultivator, this level of technique could be used about twice before exhausting their energy. If it were an Enlightenment Stage cultivator, it would be manageable; while the power wouldn't increase significantly, it would still be considerable—definitely usable in combat."
"A Fusion Stage cultivator would find it completely suitable, even able to control it with ease. As long as they can circulate their Spiritual Energy and have enough elixirs to support them, there wouldn't be much consumption at all, allowing for prolonged use."
With sufficient attack power, combined with the cleansing sound of the Crown of Spells and the adequate defense provided by the White Crane Robe and Windwalker Boots, even disciples from prestigious sects would pale in comparison!
Of course, if he added in the explosive power of all four pieces of equipment together, the resulting force would be quite impressive as well!
He certainly hadn't forgotten such desperate measures; if it ever came to that point... he chuckled darkly.
