The Age Of Doom: I Can Deduce Countless Ages Of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 10 The Era Of Mechanical Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 10: The Era of Mechanical Cultivation

Zhang Qingyuan stood alone in the dilapidated Daoist scripture pavilion, holding a jade slip emitting a white light in his hand, softly saying, "The Era of Mechanical Cultivation, let the deduction begin!"

The white mist vortex appeared on the jade slip, just like before.

Having already deduced twice, Zhang Qingyuan, who had tasted success, was even more eager for the white mist.

In the mist, ancient bronze symbols emerged, slightly different from the previous patterns.

He carefully observed those symbols and noticed that they were not composed of lines, but rather assembled from gears. The white mist vortex at the center of the symbols slowly rotated, driving these gears.

The ancient bronze symbols climbed up Zhang Qingyuan's face, just like in the previous two deductions.

A brand new deduction diagram appeared in his mind.

However, this deduction diagram was different.

This time, the main subject of the deduction diagram was not the eyes of all living beings or a deity, but a gear mechanism tree emitting an ancient bronze luster.

The branches of this tree were distributed in nine different metallic hues, arranged in sequence. The entire mechanical structure was divided into nine parts, with the centers of these parts being steel branches of the same color. Upon closer inspection, one could see that these branches and trunks were composed of densely packed gears.

Countless cultivators wearing peculiar robes were carried on these gear branches. Everyone was looking up at the crown of the tree.

Zhang Qingyuan looked up at the crown, but it was empty.

What were the cultivators in the picture looking at?

Doubts arose in Zhang Qingyuan's mind, but the changes in the deduction diagram appeared again.

Suddenly, the mechanical crown of the tree deformed, and a mechanical roar emerged in his mind.

This time! All the cultivators in the picture looked towards Zhang Qingyuan.

Those cultivators seemed to be moving their mouths, as if shouting something in unison!

Zhang Qingyuan didn't have time to observe carefully. The dense bronze radiance emerged from every cultivator in the picture and instantly entered Zhang Qingyuan's body.

[Progress of the deduction of the Era of Mechanical Cultivation: 5/100]

[Obtained from this deduction: Technique - "Mechanical Combination Art"]

At this moment, a more terrifying message rushed into his sea of consciousness.

Zhang Qingyuan's eyes were filled with horror, but after the complex information entered his mind, it immediately combined into a completely new technique.

Mechanical Combination Art!

The manifestation of this technique had changed. This time, it was not just pure information, but also accompanied by a visual image with sound.

Zhang Qingyuan examined the image in his sea of consciousness and saw a dazzling white light, causing him to squint his eyes.

On top of a steel tower, an indistinct figure sat on a mechanical throne, overlooking this steel world.

Who was this person?

Zhang Qingyuan concentrated his attention, wanting to catch a glimpse of the person's true appearance.

This was the first time Zhang Qingyuan clearly saw an image from the deduction diagram.

However, no matter how he focused, the figure remained blurry.

The Era of Mechanical Cultivation...

This term also emerged in Zhang Qingyuan's mind.

Just as he was puzzled, a magnetic voice appeared in his mind.

"Mechanics are the aggregation of matter, while cultivators are the aggregation of the world. When cultivators use mechanics to master the laws of the material world, the Era of Mechanical Cultivation is born."

Zhang Qingyuan's eyes widened in shock. Before he could see the true appearance of that person, everything shattered.

The figure sitting on the mechanical throne only existed in his mind.

"Mechanics are the aggregation of matter, cultivators are the aggregation of the world... Using mechanics to master the laws of the material and temporal world, the Era of Mechanical Cultivation."

Zhang Qingyuan couldn't help but recall this sentence, his eyebrows slightly furrowing.

He couldn't help but take another look at the panel.

[Progress of Mechanical Cultivation Era Simulation: 5/100]

[Obtained from this simulation: Technique "Mechanical Combination Art"]

Progress of the simulation! Five!!!

At this moment, Zhang Qingyuan finally realized that this simulation was different from the previous ones. The progress of the Mechanical Cultivation Era simulation had reached five, instead of one.

Could it be that even with the use of items of the same quality, the progress of the simulation could still vary?

Zhang Qingyuan checked the Mechanical Combination Art of the Mechanical Era and could confirm that the image was probably not included in the simulated technique, but rather provided by the panel based on the simulation value.

In other words, as he progressed in the simulation, the panel would provide not only techniques but also other information.

And it was information about the simulated era. What would he see when the simulation value reached its maximum?

The complete picture of that world? Or would there be a chance to go to that era?

Zhang Qingyuan's heart couldn't help but tremble.

The image of the gear simulation diagram just appeared in his mind.

At this moment, when he went to accept the "Mechanical Combination Art" again, a completely different feeling emerged in his heart.

Mechanical Combination Art!

A special refining technique of the Mechanical Cultivation Era, completely different from the traditional integrated refining technique of Yuanzhou.

The inscriptions on Yuanzhou's magical artifacts usually represented the concept of natural perfection, so the process of refining artifacts was done in one go.

But the combination art of the Mechanical Era decomposed the artifacts into parts that could be combined and expanded. For example, a flying sword could be decomposed into different smaller swords, or it could be combined with swords of different sizes to form a new flying sword.

Just like standardized gears, different models of gears can be combined to form a new structure.

This kind of refining technique abandoned the idea of completing the refining of artifacts in one go and instead explored a new direction.

By combining artifacts, the evolution of artifacts could be expanded.

When an infinite number of artifacts became a collection, it brought...

Infinite possibilities!!

When there was only one gear, it was just a gear, but when countless gears were combined and turned, it became a machine.

The concept of infinite combination emerged in Zhang Qingyuan's mind.

And in that instant, he immediately understood the essence of the gear tree.

Collection!

The Mechanical Era was a collection composed of infinite machines!

In addition to machines, cultivators were also a part of the Mechanical Era. All cultivators were gears that drove the development of the gear tree.

This was a cultivation civilization with theoretically infinite possibilities!!
