Chapter 764 -19: Bronze Giant, Mountain Moving Warriors
Rumors from the outside world can never compare to the truth seen with one’s own eyes.
It wasn’t until stepping into the Hundred Lands Mountain Range that Bi Xiao realized the correctness of this statement with absolute clarity.
This is a world completely different from the outside.
A place where humans and Gods, creatures and nature can coexist harmoniously.
Trees that are over a hundred years old can be seen everywhere here, unlike the barren gathering places of other races.
But this doesn’t mean there is no order here.
On the contrary, those golden terraces and ubiquitous orchards perfectly embellish every mountain forest and river.
Moreover, when Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao gazed into the distance, factories and villas also came into view.
Those are purely man-made objects, yet they appear remarkably harmonious amidst the mountain forests.
“Is that the Bronze Beast!?”
Pointing towards a massive Bronze Giant, Bi Xiao’s eyes glimmered with an eager spark.
The Bronze Beast is a specialty of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, a secret treasure never flowed to the outside world.
Even Xingtian City, known for its skill in mechanisms, devices, and mechanical technology, can only imitate with the likes of Autonomous Puppets or replicants like Yanjin.
In Long Bo Plaza, Bi Xiao had seen those lifelike Yanjin.
She even has a simple action doll in her hand right now.
But compared to the Bronze Giant, which is moving mountains and building dams, those Yanjin are truly just toys.
“This Bronze Beast is far more magnificent than the rumors!”
Also gazing at the massive Bronze Giant, Qiong Xiao suddenly remembered a rumor about the Bronze Beast.
It’s said that the reason the Bronze Beast hasn’t flowed to the outside world is not the Three-Eyed Race’s stinginess.
But because these Bronze Beasts are crafted by the Tao Ancestor, the Three-Eyed Race only possesses the rights to use them.
Whether out of respect for the Tao Ancestor or due to the traditions of the past hundred years…
The Three-Eyed Race can’t and will never allow these Bronze Beasts to be shared with the outside world.
Of course, the Three-Eyed Race just doesn’t allow the Bronze Beasts to flow outside.
In fact, a significant part of Xingtian City’s Autonomous Puppets and Yanjin technology comes from the decryption of the Bronze Beasts.
The most significant contributor to this is undoubtedly Wu Zhen from Xingtian City.
As the purest form of a Path Seeker, Wu Zhen’s thirst for knowledge is no less than Li Boyang’s.
Not to mention that Li Boyang never explicitly prohibited others from deciphering his technology.
Even if Li Boyang himself spoke, Wu Zhen would surely decrypt and study the Bronze Beasts in private.
“Were those bronze coins you used before made of the same material as the Bronze Giant?”
Suddenly recalling the bronze coins spent earlier, Bi Xiao blinked in amazement.
Those bronze coins hold immense practical value and can even be directly refined into Magical Treasures; Bi Xiao noted this with her own eyes.
Thinking of the monetary value of those bronze coins,
and looking at the colossal Bronze Giant not far away,
Bi Xiao suddenly felt she was seeing not just a Bronze Giant, but a mobile super gold mountain.
“I advise you not to get any ideas about that Bronze Giant!”
Seeing through Bi Xiao’s little scheme in a glance, Qiong Xiao pulled her, speaking with disapproval.
“Do you know what the outside world calls it?”
“It’s a genuine Mountain Moving Warrior, capable of easily lifting a mountain peak.”
“Not to mention us; even our senior sister couldn’t necessarily gain any advantage from it.”
The Bronze Giant, or rather the Mountain Moving Warrior, seemed to have heard the two sisters’ words, as it suddenly glanced in their direction.
That one glance frightened the outsiders next to the two sisters into gasps of surprise.
Because the face of the Mountain Moving Warrior was turned out to be a mask—a mask engraved with complex talismans.
Those intricate runes extended outward continuously.
Everyone realized that the decorative patterns on the Mountain Moving Warrior were actually a series of formed arrays.
It’s not pure strength that allows the Mountain Moving Warrior to move mountains.
Inside, it is a complex mechanical structure, and these mechanical parts form a three-dimensional compound array.
Combined with the talismans and seals etched on the surface, the Primordial Qi stored within far exceeds the level of an ordinary Celestial God.
Or more accurately, the Mountain Moving Warrior is a man-made combat-type Celestial God.
Besides those true Pathfinders who have succeeded in proving the Dao, no one dares to confidently claim victory against such a powerful artificial War God.
“This is deterrence, isn’t it?”
“This must be deterrence!”
“It truly is deterrence!”
…
Amidst the rising chorus of exclamations, the eyes of the Mountain Moving Warrior suddenly emitted two beams of light.
Everyone brushed by those beams felt an innate chill, as if they were being seen through from inside out.
Indeed, the Mountain Moving Warrior scanned almost everyone.
Only when it confirmed there were no stowaways among these outsiders did it turn back to reopening its work of moving mountains and changing peaks.
This was the first screening mechanism of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range for outsiders, and indeed a silent deterrence.
Even powerful Cultivators like Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao could not escape the sweep of those beams.
Fortunately, those beams merely verified the “Navigation Map” with the holder’s information.
Otherwise, given the sisters’ personalities, they would certainly have exploded by now.
Despite this, watching the Mountain Moving Warrior gradually retreat into the distance, Bi Xiao fell into long silence.
“This show of power… indeed had an effect.”
Catching a glimpse of the nearby crowd inadvertently, Bi Xiao noticed many of them had become much more cautious.
Especially those with ulterior motives, their eyes turned, as if already having thoughts of retreat.
Unfortunately, before they could return to the [Profound Garden Gate], luxurious ships came flowing downstream, heading towards their current location.
Through the “Navigation Map”, Bi Xiao had already learned about the existence of those ferries in advance.
Outsiders coming to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range could only cross the grand Heaven’s Edge and enter the true core area of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range by boarding these ferries.
In this process, outsiders must undergo several checkpoints of inspection.
The Three Gorges Dam of Heaven’s Edge, Lord Tingyao of Zhenhe Peak, Tiangong-1 and Tiangong-2 satellites constantly operating in the sky…
And the various Mountain Monsters, Gods, and strange architectural projects and transportation encountered along the way are all a continual challenge to everyone’s perceptions.
The deeper they venture into the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, the clearer Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao become of the terrifying foundation of the Mountain People.
