Chapter 190: Mechanical Creation and Spirit Marrow Illusion

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Yan put down Zhang Yangzhou’s corpse, looked at the pit on the ground, and carefully jumped down.

The pit was not big. There was a small wooden box wrapped tightly in leather inside.

Lin Yan carried it out, removed the leather, and opened the box. His gaze suddenly froze.

“This is…”

There were actually two extremely exquisite mechanical creations in the box in front of him!

Their appearances were not much different. They were all about the size of four palms.

They were both made up of 20 to 30 metal components of different shapes and sizes. They were embedded in a wooden board, forming an extremely mechanical and beautiful creation.

There were mechanical parts on it. There were copper screw tubes that were extremely polished, a dial with a pointer engraved with some strange symbols, a rotating switch, and coils and wires that were intertwined…

A ridiculous look of shock appeared on Lin Yan’s face. This mechanical creation was definitely not something that an ancient civilization could create!

In his previous life, it would have been at least the 18th or 19th century to create such an exquisite mechanical creation. Judging from the wire coils, it was very likely an electrical device!

Lin Yan reached out and brushed past the exquisite mechanical parts. When he heard Yu Qian mention the submarine previously, he didn’t actually see it and it didn’t feel real.

Only at this moment, when he saw this simple yet exquisite mechanical structure with his own eyes, did he feel a sudden unreality.

He looked around at the ancient and wild forests and mountains, then lowered his head to look at the exquisite electrical components.

Lin Yan suddenly felt that this strange and absurd world was beginning to lift a mysterious veil at him.

After fiddling with this appliance, although it was far older than the appliances he had seen in his previous life, Lin Yan still couldn’t tell what it was for.

He had never learned this in his previous life. Even if he had learned it, after so many years, he had long forgotten it.

He could only make a simple deduction based on Zhang Yangzhou’s purpose for coming here.

Zhang Yangzhou discovered Xiaozhi’s existence and came all the way here. His goal was very likely to inform someone?

So, this thing might be used for long-distance communication?

Radio? Telegraph?

The more he guessed, the more unreal he felt.

After putting away the wooden box, he pushed Zhang Yangzhou’s corpse into the hole and used force to disperse the soil and bury it. Lin Yan carried the wooden box and carefully returned to Ding’an City.

Lin Yan thought for a moment and found a hidden place to hide the wooden box.

Previously, he had always been puzzled. If Ding’an City and the prefecture capital could not be traversed at will, what method did they use to rule and communicate?

Now that he saw this wooden box, his horizons immediately opened.

No wonder Liu Lanqing could communicate with the prefecture capital without any problems despite being in Ding’an City. It was very likely that they had a similar radio communication method.

However, he did not know how far it had developed.

However, there were also more problems that followed.

If the civilization and technology of this world were similar to the 19th century in his previous life, why was Ding’an City so primitive?

Lin Yan had occasionally asked around about other cities in the past month.

It was said that gold and silver cities were much more prosperous, while the copper and iron cities were similarly dilapidated.

They clearly had powerful technological strength, so why were so many lower cities still in such a primitive state?

He then thought of the Dingdeng Battle. This kind of barbaric, bloody, and meaningless battle had to be held every four years. It would be fine if it was a primitive ancient civilization.

However, the prefecture capital clearly had such technology that was close to modern civilization, but they did not stop it. Instead, they treated it as an extremely important matter. Why?

Why was it so difficult to travel between the various cities?

Lin Yan increasingly felt that there was a huge secret hidden behind this world. It was as if there was a thick shadow that enveloped the entire Ding’an City, Qianyuan Prefecture, and even the entire Dafeng.

“Lord Ling, I didn’t find Zhang Yangzhou.”

After a pretended search in Ding’an City, Lin Yan found Ling Shuangxue again and reported.

“You didn’t find him?”

“That’s right. I’ve searched all the medical centers in the city, but no one has seen Zhang Yangzhou.”

“Alright, you can leave.”

Lin Yan left and returned to his room. He took out the huge Spirit Marrow he had obtained from Zhang Yangzhou.

This Spirit Marrow was in the shape of a heart. The patterns on it were exquisite and lifelike, as if the heart of a certain creature had been plucked.

Lin Yan took out the third-grade Spirit Marrow he had obtained from Xiao Ye.

The Spirit Marrow was in the shape of a creature’s claw. It was even smaller than this heart-shaped Spirit Marrow.

Could it be that after the Spirit Marrow reached the third-grade, it would show the characteristics of a certain creature?

This Spirit Marrow was clearly not something that could be produced in a lower city. Its size was so huge that Lin Yan even suspected that it was fourth-grade Spirit Marrow.

Why did Zhang Yangzhou carry such a precious Spirit Marrow with him?

After Xiaozhi turned into jade, she needed to absorb the remains of the Spirit

Marrow to recover…

Could it be that Zhang Yangzhou prepared this for Xiaozhi?

Lin Yan frowned slightly. He recalled that when he absorbed the eyeball-shaped high-grade Spirit Marrow, he saw many strange illusions.

He vaguely sensed through the vibration of the Golden Bodhi Scripture that it was very likely that he would see a similar illusion after absorbing this Spirit Marrow!

Since it concerned Xiaozhi, Lin Yan did not plan to change this Spirit Marrow to a low-grade one. He directly activated the Golden Bodhi Scripture in his mind and absorbed the Spirit Marrow!

An endless stream of external spiritual matter surged into Lin Yan’s body from the Spirit Marrow. The Nine Wisdom Bodhi was instantly and produced the Enlightenment Spiritual Light. Then, it was injected again and filled another Nine Wisdom Bodhi before slowly drying up.

In terms of the total amount of external spiritual matter, this Spirit Marrow contained at least 20 Wisdom Apertures!

Compared to the Spirit Marrow of the Eye that he had absorbed back then, it was several times more!

As the external spiritual matter was sucked dry, the heart-shaped Spirit Marrow slowly dried up and shrank, turning into a piece of dried tree bark in the shape of a heart.

Lin Yan’s mind suddenly trembled, and the Golden Bodhi Scripture shone with golden light.

In the golden light, Lin Yan saw layers of illusion fragments again.

It was an expanse of dusky sky, and beneath it was an eternal and boundless sea. At the center of the desolate and empty enormous island in the middle stood a towering tree.

The huge tree was really too tall and pierced into the clouds. Its thick roots were like carriage roads that meandered from the surface of the island and occupied the entire island…

On the surface of the island, thousands of figures scattered under the huge trees like squirming maggots…

The camera switched, and Lin Yan was shocked. The figures were not squirming maggots at all, but pairs of naked and strange men and women who were hugging each other and having sex!

All the men had strange appearances. Some had ferocious horns, some had black hair all over their arms, and some had huge tails full of barbs…

None of them had a normal human form. They were all half-human and half-demon!

As for the women who had sex with them, they were even stranger. Their long hair fluttered in the wind, and they were extremely beautiful. Their skin was fair and flawless, and their figure was incomparably hot. However, they… actually looked identical!

Behind them, a green vine connected to the roots of the huge tree on the ground. From time to time, it would wriggle. It was extremely strange.

They were like wild beasts, hugging and rolling on the ground, doing the most primitive action.

During the intercourse, the women’s expressions were wooden, like puppets without a soul.

The men, on the other hand, looked dazed. There was only endless desire in their eyes, like a bull in heat, completely immersed in it.

Suddenly, a man with arms on his back suddenly went crazy for some reason. He roared wildly and tore the woman he was having sex with into two!

However, what was strange was that after the woman was torn in half, no blood flowed out at all. Instead, it gradually softened and melted into a pool of greenish-yellow mud, fused into the ground, and disappeared!

Immediately after, a lump on the root on the ground quickly expanded and quickly cracked, revealing a human-shaped fetus. Then, it expanded in the wind. In a few breaths, it grew back into a naked peerless beauty. She pounced forward and hugged the man with arms on his back again.

On the entire huge island, countless men and women were making the most primitive movements.

The camera switched again.

There was a man and woman who had already finished mating. The man was lying on the ground on his last breath.

The woman leaned against a few thick roots and spread her legs. Her bare belly suddenly began to expand!

In an instant, it expanded to the size of a woman who had been pregnant for ten months!

Then, a baby girl covered in greenish-yellow liquid was born from under the woman!

The baby girl also grew quickly. In a few breaths, she grew to about three years old. Then, she stopped and lay on the ground, wailing.

When Lin Yan saw her face from the illusion, his breathing almost stopped.

Xiaozhi!

That face actually looked quite similar to Xiaozhi’s!

As Lin Yan recalled it, that beautiful and strange woman seemed to be similar to Xiaozhi!

In the illusion, the baby girl suddenly revealed a painful expression. Her snow-white skin was suddenly filled with ferocious green veins, causing her fair face to instantly become extremely strange and ferocious.

Then, countless crack-like jade patterns appeared on her body!

The jade was formed, but not all of it. Only a portion of the body became jade, but the rest was still flesh and blood!

Immediately after, the baby girl cried like a shattered jade porcelain doll that suddenly exploded!

Her blood was bright red, and her limbs flew in all directions, turning into a blood-colored fog.

On the ground, in the middle of the exploded corpse, there was actually a living liver. Its surface was covered in green veins that jumped. Then, it slowly solidified and turned into a Spirit Marrow…

In the next moment, another pair of crazy and strange men and women pounced together and rolled through the pool of blood, as if they didn’t see anything…

Similar things were happening everywhere on the entire island.

Men and women mated and gave birth to girls. The little girls grew to three years old and exploded, leaving behind Spirit Marrow that was a lung, stomach, or heart…

The entire scene was like a devil’s purgatory.

Suddenly, as the camera moved quickly, Lin Yan’s heart skipped a beat.

Among the countless couples, Lin Yan caught a glimpse of… his father, Lin Mo!

His father still looked the same as before. The only difference was that there was an additional huge vertical pupil on his forehead, like an eagle’s eye…

In the next moment, the Golden Bodhi Scripture slowly trembled. In the dazzling golden light, the illusion shattered and stopped.

Lin Yan panted heavily and woke up from the illusion. He was sweating profusely, and his back was drenched.

“Huh? Xiaozhi!”

Lin Yan was shocked. Unknowingly, Xiaozhi had actually entered the room!

With a stunned expression, she reached out and grabbed the withered Heart Spirit Marrow in his hand!
