Chapter 750: Chapter 344: Secretly Altering the Array, Elder’s Changing Face
“Haori Mountain, the Divinity Transformation Skill?”
Receiving Xie Qingxue’s message, Zheng Fa raised an eyebrow slightly; not only did he not feel disappointed, but he was rather pleased.
Although he didn’t have a high opinion of the Five Sects, Sect Leader Yan had targeted him before. However, diplomacy is better when there is room for negotiation than when there isn’t.
Moreover, it seems that Sect Leader Yan intends to engage in a major confrontation, and the target might include Haori Mountain.
As long as Sect Leader Yan harshly targets Haori Mountain, Zheng Fa is willing to agree to a united front and forgive him generously.
“Haori Mountain’s true inheritance technique?” Zhang, who was walking alongside Zheng Fa, frowned and said, “I remember Elder Han’s intelligence stated Haori Mountain should have three veins of true inheritance?”
Zheng Fa nodded and said, “Yes, Xie Qingxue also said Sect Leader Yan told her that Haori Mountain should have three Dao Fruit Ancestors, in addition to the Dao Fruit ancestor we encountered with the surname Yang, there’s one with the surname Lu and one with the surname Yun, reputed as the Three Saints.”
“Only the disciples of these Three Saints can be called true inheritors.”
Since Jiushan Sect had already reached a state of irreconcilability with Haori Mountain, they had been gathering intelligence about the opponent.
Through the channels of the Unrivaled Alliance, Elder Han had gathered quite a lot of information.
Zhang and her peers also captured two enemies in the Nascent Soul Stage from Haori Mountain who came to cause trouble, extracting some truths about Haori Mountain.
More importantly, the information delivered by Xie Qingxue — after all, the situation of Dao Fruit cultivators is beyond the level of the Five Sects, far out of reach.
Now Zheng Fa has roughly figured out:
Haori Mountain has three Dao Fruit cultivators, which is much stronger compared to Jiushan Sect’s current real strength that struggles to handle even one Dao Fruit cultivator.
If the alliance of the six sects were absent, Jiushan Sect might already have vanished.
“It will be hard to obtain the true inheritance technique.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang furrowed her brows tightly.
“Otherwise…” Zheng Fa just chuckled, “I see that Shi Nandang seems quite generous.”
He knew that his opportunistic master, the Ninth Elder, possessed Haori Mountain’s Divinity Transformation true inheritance technique!
Seeing that he seemed somewhat confident, Zhang stopped asking more questions and looked ahead towards University Island.
The buildings of University Island are the largest among the Heavenly Palace Nine Islands.
This place was likely where the Heavenly Venerate resided, originally filled with a dense array of palaces and pavilions, including a grand hall that was exceptionally magnificent.
When Zheng Fa arrived, this place was already a ruin, the splendor of the past now gone.
Yet Zheng Fa possessed a somewhat frugal and thrifty nature. During his restoration of the island with his disciples, these ruins were put to use.
Now, most of the University Island’s hundreds of classrooms are built upon the foundations of the former palace, and some of the bricks and stones used are from those walls, cleverly reused and taken down.
However, where the main hall stood, there was no new construction; instead, it became a vacant land.
Now there have been some changes on this vacant land:
Three hundred and sixty Spirit Stones were arranged into concentric circles, embedded in the ground.
Spiritual Energy slowly gathered towards the center of the circle, with countless runes flowing mid-air.
It was precisely the recently arranged Nine Chapters Calculation Array.
Zheng Fa noticed that Zhang’s expression showed some anxiety…
“Senior Sister?”
Zhang sighed lightly and regained her composure, then gave him a bright smile, lightly tapping the ground and floating into the array.
She held the Fei Xian Pen, drawing several talismanic diagrams in the air, with the three hundred and sixty Spirit Stones embedded in the ground glowing with gold light, converging on her, making Zhang appear even more extraordinary.
Then, a water curtain was born from nowhere, standing on University Island like a mirror, reflecting various texts and numbers within — this was the data collected earlier by Master Pang and Zhang, including transaction records these days from Han Qi with various factions.
Looking at the text within the water curtain, Zheng Fa felt somewhat relieved, as long as it could be activated.
If using so many Spirit Stones only to fail, it would be enough to make the whole Jiushan Sect feel the sting.
Conversely, as long as it succeeded, the Spirit Stones used wouldn’t matter at all!
Although the Nine Chapters Calculation Array was yet to complete artificial intelligence algorithms, with Zhang as the administrator, using it as a computer posed no problem.
Due to using so many Spirit Stones, the computing power of this machine also far surpassed that of Zhang —
Or as Zheng Fa envisioned, this was precisely his long-awaited Jiushan supercomputer platform!
Zhang willed in her mind, the tip of the Fei Xian Pen continuously poured talismanic diagrams into the Nine Chapters Calculation Array.
Zheng Fa focused his gaze on the water curtain, with the eyesight of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, he naturally could understand that Zhang was calculating the allocation of Jiushan Sect’s raw materials and the production of various Spiritual Artifacts, Pills, and Spiritual Medicines for the next half month.
Planned economy has its shortcomings, one of which is computing power.
For the development of Jiushan Sect, Zheng Fa also acquainted himself with some related knowledge — or rather, learned about a tragicomic historical fact:
Historically, the planned economic system of the northern big brother can even be said to have been destroyed by computing power.
Not to mention the complexity of the various models and mathematical theories in economic planning, one direct point:
To plan the production of a thousand commodities requires 500,000 elasticity parameters.
And during that period, the total computing power of the world’s computers was possibly inferior to a single smartphone of later generations.
So the consequences were obvious, leaving behind a vast economic ruin and a group of insanely strong mathematicians… even many of the reference books Zhang studied came from that country.
But Jiushan Sect doesn’t have this problem!
Although the Nine Chapters Calculation Array has not reached complete mastery, its computational power is adequate for the current needs of the Jiushan Realm.
Just with this alone, the Spirit Stones saved far exceed those three hundred and sixty.
