I Have A Martial Dao World-Chapter 717 - 716. Taoist Lord

Chapter 717: 716. Taoist Lord Chapter 717: 716. Taoist Lord “Sovereign!”

Hearing Lu Yao’s question, a group of corporate executives blinked in mild surprise, not understanding why Lu Yao would ask such a thing.

But at that moment, being hauled up toward the sky, they hastily picked some flattering words to say:

[The Sovereign invented cybernetic bodies, electronic brains, and intelligent networks. He is the one who created a new era.]

[The Sovereign proposed the grand idea of “consciousness upload,” achieving eternal life in its truest sense.]

Even Zhang Yizhi said, “The Sovereign stands at the pinnacle of mechanical ascension, he is the True God of this realm.”

…

These words were watertight, even if they were leaked there wouldn’t be any blame to assign. And whether intentionally or inadvertently, these people placed the words “The Sovereign” at the beginning of their sentences.

Long Ji, who had past interactions with Lu Yao, saw how particularly interested this person was in the Sovereign. With a trembling voice, she speculated with disbelief:

“You said earlier that you had an agreement with our esteemed ancestor, could this agreement… possibly be related to the Sovereign?”

Zhang Yizhi’s people had just learned of this message and perked up their ears to listen intently.

Lu Yao replied with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “That’s right, I’m here to kill the Sovereign.”

...

At these words, an uproar ensued like a thousand waves crashing!

The group of corporate upper echelons were in an uproar: “You’re insane! You’re looking for death!”

“An agreement with the previous lead developer? Could it involve the corporation… could it involve us?”

“It’s over, we just called out the Sovereign’s name, and now every move might be under surveillance! The Sovereign surely knows everything now!”

The group of people couldn’t conceal their horror, even verging on collapse, seemingly in extreme fear of the Sovereign.

At this moment, Fran spoke up, “Lu Yao, the School of Life simply lacks the capability to fulfill the agreement, do you still intend to kill the Sovereign?”

Lu Yao replied, “Then the Sovereign who has chosen the path of fusing spiritual essence with machinery will definitely not spare our Divine Souls. Extracting the spirit machines, it’s inevitable that we’ll clash with him.”

Fran nodded, saying nothing more.

In fact, Lu Yao had another reason he hadn’t mentioned— he was also quite interested in the most powerful beings of the cyberpunk world.

Turning his gaze back to the group of corporate executives, Lu Yao spoke up, “Now, the final question—where can I find the Sovereign?”

No one knew the answer to that question, and nobody dared to speak, all bowing their heads in silence.

Lu Yao, without any courtesy, immediately said with a smile, “Well then, I’ll just have to kill all of you and destroy the city. That ought to make the Sovereign show himself, right~”

As he spoke, a terrifying spiritual power started to churn, exerting force 360 degrees, ready to turn people into mincemeat!

During this time, some couldn’t hold back their desire to beg for mercy, but Zhang Yi shouted:

“Think about the consequences! Do you want to have your consciousness forcibly uploaded?”

The person who was about to speak showed a frightened look and quickly shut their mouth.

At this moment, the “Virtual Lover” An Ji knelt before Lu Yao, pleading:

“Please don’t do this… Why resort to killing and violence to solve problems?”

It has to be said that this artificial intelligence was extremely realistic, with expressions and speech brimming with intense emotion, even making Lu Yao struggle to distinguish between real and fake.

When the fake seems real, the real also becomes fake; perhaps this virtual personality truly held sincere feelings.

Lu Yao shrugged his shoulders, “It wasn’t me who started the fight. Ask your master why if he knew this day would come, why did he do it in the first place?”

Zhang Yi and Long Ji both realized that it was they who had acted first! Instantly, they regretted it so much that they felt their insides turning green.

Just as they were covered in cracks and about to disintegrate under the pressure, a gentle breeze swept through the area.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This wind was very strange; the entire villa area was protected by a defense shield, and there was no wind at all.

Lu Yao Focused Spirit to look closely and saw that the area had faintly become filled with many peculiar mental fluctuations.

This wasn’t like Divine Thought, the traditional sense of spiritual power, but more like “Electromagnetic Waves.”

He instantly realized that the main character had arrived.

The corporate executives’ morale surged, and Zhang Yizhi was especially excited as he exclaimed, “It’s the Sovereign!”

But the very next second, he could no longer smile.

He saw those electromagnetic waves suddenly pour into the body of the “Virtual Lover” An Ji.

In the next instant, the blue-haired girl’s expression turned to astonishment, and her flickering ripples transformed into a naked man!

The man was muscular yet had no genitalia, his body had its own breathing light effect, circles of blue light rhythmically spreading from his chest to his limbs and bones.

Moreover, he had no face; his face was a mass of white light!

The figure casually waved a hand as if an invisible pair of scissors had clipped through Lu Yao’s Divine Thought, freeing the company’s top brass.

Long Ji and the others bowed respectfully and said, “Thank you, Taoist master!”

Meanwhile, Zhang Yizhi’s brain shook violently, bubbles filled the water tank, and he muttered, “An Ji… my An Ji…”

The Taoist master no longer paid attention to these people but spoke to Lu Yao in a deeply magnetic voice:

“Mr. Lu Yao, visitor from Otherworld, it has been a long time. I let you get away last time, but not this time.”

It seemed that his last visit had already caught the Taoist master’s attention.

Lu Yao glanced at him and said, “It’s just a projection that has come over, quite the high talk.”

The Taoist master slowly replied, “For me, as long as I’m on this planet, there’s not much difference between the true body and a clone.”

“Enough talk. Let’s see the real deal in action.”

Lu Yao showed a hint of his real power, and behind him, a semi-manifest shadow of his heart’s image emerged. In a flash, a tsunami-like wave of Divine Thought slapped towards the Taoist master!

Seeing this, Long Ji, who had just regained her freedom, exclaimed in horror, “He was… He wasn’t using his full strength just now?”

Facing such a terrifying mental force, the Taoist master only lasted less than three seconds before he flickered out like a candle in the wind.

But Lu Yao’s brow furrowed, for the opponent was merely a thought projected onto the “Virtual Lover,” and yet it had managed to resist him for a few seconds.

This indicated that in terms of real cultivation, he was somewhat inferior.

However, now was not the time to be distracted; the matter wasn’t over yet!

Suddenly, Long Ji, who had retreated into the distance, stiffened, and her body began to tremble violently.

She cried out in panic, “Taoist master, please don’t…”

In just one second, Long Ji abruptly transformed into the likeness of the Taoist master!

Her face, too, was a mass of white light, and speaking to Lu Yao, her voice was identical:

“Visitor from Otherworld, your spiritual power is full of hesitation; it seems you have not yet found your path.”

Lu Yao’s eyebrow raised as he chose not to respond but instead stated:

“No wonder you are so confident; anyone in this realm can become your vessel.”

“You’re right,” the Taoist master nodded, then waved his hand.

All the remaining people in the area began to shudder rapidly, and gradually, one after another, Taoist masters appeared, surrounding Lu Yao.

At that moment, Zhang Yizhi, with his “brain in a tank” demeanor, let out a shout. Mechanical arms suddenly reached out and pulled a bundle of “optical cable” connected to flesh from the necks of two close associates!

This was the intelligence of the Tianyuan Realm, equivalent to Blue Star’s mobile phone.

It was the third-generation product of Merlin’s Crystal Card, having been developed to the point of implantation within the body.

And the Taoist master was invading the victims’ bodies through this device.

Zhang Yizhi’s unique form had somehow remained unaffected, and he now yelled fiercely,

“Quick! Remove all the prosthetics from your body! Otherwise, this creature will still possess you!”

The two lucky company executives came back to their senses and hurriedly began to dismantle the “prosthetics” from their bodies…

But the Taoist master simply watched all of this silently, with an intrigued tone, “An interesting variable, but it won’t change the outcome.”

With his words, intense noise and commotion came from all around.

Everyone in the city was converging on the company villa!

Their expressions were blank, their movements stiff as they approached before turning into yet another Taoist master.

In the space of a few breaths, there were already thousands upon thousands!
