Chapter 366: Qing Ping's Phantom, the Mutation of the Divine Species

"Regular mission, number seventeen."

"Clear the mechanical god species."

This information is very clear, Han Yi understood it instantly, and he had also learned about the fairy castle mission before.

The fairy castle missions in the outer void battlefield are divided into three levels.

The first level is the regular mission, which is the most common and relatively less dangerous. It is generally to clear the danger within a certain void range.

The fairy castle monks dispatched may be a small number of monks from a single fairy castle, or may be a joint action of several fairy castles.

The second level is the combat mission, which is moderately dangerous. A large number of monks are dispatched to snipe the enemies of the wisdom world, or to resist the sudden attack and invasion of the enemies of the wisdom world.

The third level is the emergency mission, which has a very high mortality rate and is almost regardless of casualties. It is generally seen in medium or large battles.

According to what Han Yi learned in Xuanzang Palace, someone has counted the 100 rotation cycles of low-level monks being recruited in the past 30,000 years.

According to the statistics, in each cycle, most of the tasks are routine tasks, with an average of about ten times.

The average number of combat tasks is about three times. As for emergency tasks, most of the time there are none, and if there are, there is only one.

But if you really encounter an emergency task, nearly 80% of the cultivators will be buried in the void and will never have the opportunity to return to the fairyland. It is extremely terrifying.

Even for combat tasks, the mortality rate of each time is between 10% and 30%.

Only routine tasks have a lower mortality rate, but it is not completely safe. There are still cultivators who encounter danger and die instantly.

In general.

The Immortal Castle has a very high mortality rate during rotation. After all, this is the first front line of the two super worlds. It is like a huge grinding wheel of flesh and blood souls, strangling the lives of the two worlds in the void.

In addition.

Among the routine tasks, with countless years of experience, the Immortal Castle has classified the routine tasks into 108 sequences, and each sequence corresponds to a type of routine task.

The higher the sequence number, the more dangerous it is.

As for any combat and emergency missions, there is no such thing as a serial number. Each time, it is unique and special.

Han Yi did not expect that he would have to perform routine tasks immediately after arriving in the void for only a few days, but once it happened, it happened, and there was no way to escape.

At this moment.

The information transmitted from the identity token revealed that this routine mission belonged to Sequence 17, and the task of Sequence 17 was to "clean up the mechanical god species".

The mechanical god species was the fragments of the broken god core after the fall of the mechanical god race.

As for the mechanical god race, it is one of the nine affiliated races of the intelligent race, ranking seventh, behind the Dark Moon Clan ranked sixth, and before the Scarlet Ghost Witch ranked eighth.

This kind of god core fragment, that is, the god seed, if left alone, is very likely to evolve into a god core again with sufficient resources, giving birth to a new mechanical god race.

Each mechanical god will go through several stages after the birth of the god core. The first two stages are the spiritual transformation stage and the god transformation stage. If it is the spiritual transformation stage, its combat power is comparable to that of a semi-immortal, and if it is the god transformation stage, its strength is even comparable to that of an immortal.

Moreover, the most terrifying thing is that each mechanical god, given enough time, can create and command a mechanical army, which can be called a harvester of group battles, giving the immortal world cultivators a headache.

In some dangerous places in the void, the immortals of the immortal world killed the mechanical gods, causing the mechanical gods' god cores to shatter and scatter, turning into god seeds. If these god seeds are scattered in some troublesome places, then low-level cultivators are needed to find these fragments and collect them as the property of the immortal castle.

Of course.

This seventeenth task of the sequence is also dangerous.

On the one hand, there may be mechanical gods or mechanical legions coming from the void at any time. On the other hand, if the gods happen to be in the void and absorb energy, they will evolve into mechanical souls and even enter the spiritual transformation period, which can also kill low-level monks.

Han Yi's mind was filled with relevant information he had read, and he was a little nervous. After all, this was his first mission.

He was wary of any mission in the Immortal Castle, and he did not dare to take it lightly even if it was a routine mission.

"I think everyone should know the next task."

"Although this is a routine task and the sequence number is not high, it should not be underestimated and needs to be done with all our strength."

"There are quite a few routine tasks this time. According to the camp owner's requirements, each team must take on one. My team 7 took on sequence 17."

"However, as far as I know, in addition to us, there are more than 70 other spiritual camps, with a total of about 10,000 cultivators participating."

"In addition, I remind you again that in the outer void, you cannot kill the immortal fort cultivators without authorization, including the cultivators of my Suizhu Immortal Mansion and the cultivators of other forces."

"This is a taboo. If there is no absolutely sufficient reason, it will attract the pursuit of all the immortals in the Daluo Immortal Realm."

Du Ruhu said at the end, his face was stern.

Han Yi's face also changed.

He knew this rule.

In the outer void, even in a routine task, if a conflict occurs, you can force the other party to retreat, injure the other party, and suppress the other party, but you must never kill the other party.

Unless sufficient conditions can be provided to prove that the cultivator must be killed, such as if the other party is a spy of the Zhi clan, and if he is not killed, some secrets that are fatal enough to the fairy world will be revealed.

Han Yi knew that this rule was to protect low-level cultivators.

The cultivators agreed, and Du Ruhu led them to teleport directly from the space teleportation point of the Shadow Moon Node to the Immortal Castle Square.

Compared with the previous ones, the cultivators on the square seemed insignificant, with only a few thousand.

After Du Ruhu arrived, he took a few half-immortal confidants to report to a true immortal standing in the center.

Next, there was a quarter of an hour of waiting, and then Han Yi and the cultivators boarded the immortal boat sacrificed by the true immortal.

Although this immortal boat was also an immortal weapon, it was far inferior to the huge immortal boat that carried Han Yi and others to the outer void.

The immortal boat set off from the Immortal Castle Square, shuttled through the void, and went away in an instant.

Inside the immortal boat, Han Yi could not perceive the situation outside, and he continued to use this short time to practice.

Seven days later.

The immortal boat arrived at its destination, and about 10,000 cultivators walked out of the immortal boat.

After Han Yi walked out, he looked at the scene in front of him, his whole body trembled, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his face was horrified.

In front of him, there was an endless void... ruins.

That's right.

Void ruins.

In the vast void, countless unknown broken machines, metal fragments, large and small abandoned lands, broken palaces, etc., constituted a piece of ruins floating in the void.

This ruin, if you put it bluntly, is a void garbage dump.

The broken machines here are the mechanical legions controlled by the mechanical gods, which were bombed here. As for the metal fragments, they may be magic weapons, spiritual treasures, or the fragments left after some fairy castles were broken. The large and small lands and broken palaces, etc., are caused by the explosion of the fairy spirit world in the body after the immortals fell.

This piece of ruins was not formed overnight, but has gone through a long time.

"The cleaning time is one year. According to the division before this, groups of ten people will take care of each other."

Before everyone entered the void ruins, Du Ruhu sent a telepathic message for the last time, and reminded the cultivators. Then, he took the lead in stepping into it. Although he was a half-immortal, he did not dare to be distracted in the void ruins.

Han Yi and nine other people formed a group. The team leader was a middle-aged cultivator at the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm, named Han Xuanli.

Swish, swish, swish!

Ten thousand cultivators dispersed into the void ruins, like a drop of water falling into a river or lake, without even a ripple, because the ruins were too big.

They came this time mainly because three mechanical gods appeared near this area a few years ago. The three legions they controlled were killed by a golden immortal. Before the mechanical gods fell, they crushed the divine core and scattered it, and a small part of it fell directly into this ruin.

The search for the divine seed is not very dangerous, but it is quite time-consuming. The golden immortal will naturally not take action, so the immortal fortress needs to send cultivators to come and explore and clean up.

After going deep into hundreds of miles, Han Xuanli stopped and asked the ten cultivators in the group to disperse and search around.

Han Yi followed his instructions and began to explore the surroundings.

His immortal cultivation has reached the early stage of the transformation of the spirit, and his ancient god cultivation is still at the peak of the Yin-Yang realm. With the breakthrough of magical powers and sword control, his comprehensive combat power should be stronger than the late stage of the transformation of the spirit, and a little behind the peak of the Nascent Soul. But even if he really fights against the peak of the transformation of the spirit, he will be defeated at most, but he is confident that he can escape instantly with the magical power of the mind world and will not be killed.

In other words, only a half-immortal can kill Han Yi. In the transformation of the spirit, he is already invincible.

So, Han Yi did not hesitate.

In fact.

This ruin is also a treasure for low-level cultivators. Although the valuable things have been almost looted in countless routine tasks in the past, there will be more or less fish that slip through the net.

For example, at this moment.

In a suspended broken palace, Han Yi found a fragment of a spiritual treasure.

This fragment was in a hidden corner of the broken palace. Han Yi was able to dig it out with the help of the Formless Fire Eye. From the outside, the fragment should be part of a furnace. Although the spirituality is completely lost, the properties of the material are still there. If it is sold in the market, it can be worth at least three top-grade spirit stones.

This is more or less a harvest, and Han Yi will naturally not waste it and put it in the Qiankun Ring.

Whether it is a regular task, a combat task, or an emergency task, in the task, if there are other gains outside the task regulations, they belong to the cultivator personally.

An hour later.

Han Yi noticed that there was a sudden change in the breath behind him, and he rushed back immediately, and found that a cultivator in the same group was holding a jade box. In the jade box, a blood-red fragment the size of a fingernail was quietly placed.

Han Xuanli and the other three cultivators surrounded it and were on guard.

In this regular task, if you find the items required in the task, you can get the corresponding points. The importance of points is much more valuable than the points in the fairy court.

After all, these are points from the outer void, and the dangers of obtaining points are even higher.

When Han Yi approached, the crowd was not too alert. After all, the rules of the Immortal Castle were clearly written. Betraying the same Immortal Castle cultivator was equivalent to betraying the Immortal Castle, and the guilt was not ordinary.

It was so strict that the cultivators who participated in the Immortal Castle did not need to be too wary of each other.

Otherwise.

Everyone was deceitful, and there was no united front. They would have exploded internally.

Of course.

The necessary distance still needed to be maintained. This was the instinct of the cultivators, no doubt.

After approaching, Han Yi nodded to the monks and looked at the red fragment in the jade box. The fragment glowed with blood-red light. If you look carefully, you can find that the fragment is like the smallest heart, beating and breathing at an imperceptible amplitude.

It is alive.

This is the core of the mechanical gods, the divine core, which is broken into fragments, divine seeds.

Han Yi looked at the monk holding the jade box. Although this monk was only a mid-Yuanying monk, he did not have any extra thoughts. He nodded to the still excited Yuanying monk, and Han Yi turned away to continue exploring.

According to the information in the token, finding a divine seed can get about 100 points. The purchasing power of these points in the fairy castle can buy a medium-grade spiritual treasure.

This is no less than getting rich for the Yuanying monk.

Han Yi continued to search.

This task requires one year of exploration, and one year later, you can go back.

This corner of the void ruins is the sea. Their search for a divine seed the size of a fingernail is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but they still did it. They have experienced this countless times in the past countless years.

Three months later.

Han Yi put a blood-red fragment in a special box and put it into a separate Qiankun ring.

This is the second mechanical divine seed he has obtained.

His face was slightly relaxed.

Having found two divine seeds, he should be able to hand it in.

Of course, he will continue to search. These are all points. More divine seeds also mean that he can get more spiritual objects needed to condense innate spiritual objects in his divine orifices.

But when he was about to continue exploring, he suddenly stopped.

At this moment.

A sharp and heavy sword intent emanated from his main Qiankun ring.

Han Yi's face was happy. He had experience and knew that the upgrade of Qingping Sword was about to end.

He did not take out the Qingping Sword immediately, but left in a flash, and then found a hidden place on the nearest small half-cracked land of about hundreds of square kilometers, and then took out the Qingping Sword.

This sword is mysterious, and he is worried that the breath emitted by this sword at the last moment of fusion will be detected by others, causing unnecessary trouble.

The sharpness of the Qingping Sword that was taken out continued to rise, which made Han Yi's face change slightly.

However.

After this sharpness rose to a certain point, it stopped abruptly.

The whole sword returned to its original appearance.

Han Yi frowned slightly, and his heart moved, and his consciousness probed into the interior of the sword, the spiritual treasure space.

The spiritual treasure space of the Qingping Sword was still the same as before, a void.

Just when Han Yi's consciousness was about to withdraw.

In an instant, in the depths of this void, a fierce sword shadow flashed by.

This time, it was a white sword.

As soon as the murderous aura on the sword appeared, Han Yi's consciousness was annihilated and dissipated in the spiritual treasure space.

Outside.

Han Yi's face changed drastically, and he was shocked for a moment.

The loss of this spiritual consciousness was not a big deal for him, and he had a certain psychological preparation.

What shocked him was.

He knew this sword.

This was the sword that he had used when he participated in the Immortal Meeting of Immortality and fell from the crack of the mysterious world in the finals to kill the powerful immortal who seemed to be Jiang Hong.

At that time, it was just a wisp of the most insignificant sword intent, and Han Yi almost fell.

And now.

Seeing the sword again, it was actually in the depths of the nothingness of the Qingping Sword.

No.

That's not right.

Han Yi suddenly woke up.

This white sword, like the black fierce sword that appeared inside the Qingping Sword when it was promoted to a spiritual treasure, was just a phantom.

He once again separated a wisp of his spiritual consciousness and probed into the Qingping Sword. What he saw was only a void, without any sword.

As expected.

However, this also proved that the Qingping Sword had a certain connection with the two terrifying swords that had appeared in the depths of the void in his spiritual treasure space.

He temporarily put this doubt in his heart and withdrew his spiritual consciousness.

The next moment.

A round and flawless spiritual treasure aura burst out.

Low-grade, medium-grade?

No.

High-grade.

This is the aura of a high-grade spiritual treasure.

After the fusion of the sixth branch sword, the Qingping Sword finally became a high-grade spiritual treasure.

At the same time.

A few dozen miles away from him, a blood-red divine seed buried in the half-cracked ground seemed to have broken through a certain limit and began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye.
