Yuan Yi was clueless and asked, "What is that...?"
Ming Zhi Tian replied, "It's like this. I need to return to my old home, Tian Qiu, and bring my master, Sheng, over to cultivate the Ancient Realm."
Yuan Yi said, "But my disciple's Saintly Spirit Mechanical Puppet hasn't been repaired yet..."
Ming Zhi Tian asked, "How long will it take to repair it?"
Yuan Yi answered, "It requires opening the equipment vault, selecting materials, and about ten days."
Ming Zhi Tian frowned, "That's too long. I'll complete it with you. Our target is within three days."
Yuan Yi rejoiced, "With the Sect Master's assistance, I believe it's possible."
Ming Zhi Tian waved his hand, "Don't call me Sect Master. I've said it before, I don't intend to participate."
Yuan Yi didn't insist. There was no time to waste. He immediately led Ming Zhi Tian to the equipment vault of the Mechanical Sect.
Ming Zhi Tian secretly glanced at the Empress of Stars, thinking, "I want to give her a surprise. For some reason, I have a feeling, a premonition of something bad. I want to finish this quickly."
After opening the equipment vault of the Mechanical Sect and selecting the top-tier materials, Ming Zhi Tian and Yuan Yi went to a secret chamber, took out the remains of the Saintly Spirit Mechanical Puppet, and began repairing it day and night.
Watching their earnest efforts, the Empress of Stars didn't disturb them. Whenever Ming Zhi Tian's face beaded with sweat, she would pick up a handkerchief and wipe it for him.
The handkerchief, carrying the scent of star peaches, was captivating. Ming Zhi Tian smiled at her, "Thank you."
The Empress of Stars gently shook her head, "No need for thanks."
At first, she didn't understand anything. Watching them fiddle around was rather boring. But as time passed and the Saintly Spirit Mechanical Puppet gradually took shape, the Empress of Stars found it less dull.
Two and a half days later...
The Saintly Spirit Mechanical Puppet of the Great Accomplishment Void Realm, Ninth Heaven, was repaired!
Working together, Ming Zhi Tian and Yuan Yi spent another two and a half days completing the second mechanical puppet. Although it wasn't as powerful as the Saintly Spirit Mechanical Puppet made with meteorite equipment, its resilience was no less than that of an ordinary Void Realm.
With two Void Realm Ninth Heaven puppets guarding the Mechanical Sect, Ming Zhi Tian felt at ease.
Yuan Yi controlled the Saintly Spirit Mechanical Puppet to cleave open space, "Sect Master, I still need to deal with the aftermath of the sect's internal strife and conflicts. You go first, I'll pick you up in three days, how about that?"
Ming Zhi Tian said, "You called me Sect Master again."
Yuan Yi smiled faintly, "I'm used to it. In my heart, this position has always been reserved for you."
Ming Zhi Tian replied, "Alright, come find me in three days."
The two entered the space, and the rift closed. After confirming their destination, they were about to enter.
Ming Zhi Tian felt something behind him. A dim light slowly spread over him. Ming Zhi Tian looked back, and it gradually receded. He didn't pay it much mind.
Suddenly, the space distorted. A surge of spacetime turbulence struck them like lightning, causing them both to cry out in pain! They were then separated, falling into an unknown space and vanishing...
Fierce divine rainbow lasers covered everything, making it impossible to open one's eyes. When Ming Zhi Tian could finally open his pupils, he found himself in an unknown dimension.
"Bang!"
Ming Zhi Tian fell heavily, creating a deep pit!
He could have stabilized himself, but for a fleeting moment, all his immortal spiritual energy was frozen, rendering him immobile. Perhaps it was an illusion.
Sensing the arrival of a powerful being on the Star Soul Continent, the Ten Directions Divine Emperors all ascended, their powerful divine senses scanning the surroundings in an attempt to discern something.
But at that very moment! Demonic stars emerged, and smoke signals began to rise from all directions. They were invading the entire Star Soul Continent...
