Shi Nandang is extremely concerned about the Heaven and Earth Divine Evil Formation, even small details might be concealed from him. But if the position of the nodes changes, he might immediately notice. And something as powerful as the Immortal Trapping Sword, that Haori Mountain’s Lu Saint Ancestor probably wouldn’t hand it to a Divinity Transformation like Shi Nandang without some precautions. "But with the Ancestor Master, things become much easier. My modifications to the Heaven and Earth Divine Evil Formation don’t need to be so obvious, just require the Ancestor Master to alter the Spirit Vein at a crucial moment." Zhang listened, pondered for a long time, and looked at the Nine Mountains Ancestor Master, laughing: "How to modify the Spirit Vein and the Array requires further deduction. However, this might be the best approach." The Nine Mountains Ancestor Master seemed a bit clueless, probably didn’t understand. Zheng Fa wasn’t good at explaining: Ultimately, he was planning to send the Ancestor Master to Haori Mountain... to steal some energy. After exchanging a few words with Xie Qingxue and the Nine Mountains Ancestor Master, the two bid farewell, and as their figures disappeared on the Rainbow Bridge, Zheng Fa and Zhang exchanged glances, both looking worried. Zhang slowly withdrew the smile from her face, frowned, and said. "Haori Mountain gave us only twenty years." Zheng Fa’s expression also turned serious. Xie Qingxue and the two of them didn’t realize the greatest problem facing the Hundred Immortals Alliance. Perhaps the Heaven and Earth Divine Evil Formation can be resolved relying on the Nine Mountains Ancestor Master. But the threat from Haori Mountain is drawing closer. Moreover, if Haori Mountain’s Spirit Vein is devastated by the Heaven and Earth Divine Evil Formation and the Immortal Trapping Sword is taken by Zheng Fa. Then the reaction from the other side is actually predictable. "Haori Mountain has invested considerable effort in us, they quickly learned about the Ancestor Master’s Divinity Transformation." Zheng Fa felt somewhat heavy-hearted. Shi Nandang was originally planning to spend forty years refining the Immortal Trapping Sword, now this time limit is halved, probably due to Haori Mountain’s will. They’ve become urgent, probably from realizing the rapid development of the Hundred Immortals Alliance. "Sister, whether we can smoothly control the Immortal Trapping Sword or not, twenty years later, Haori Mountain will probably realize something’s amiss. By then, the situation will likely be more complex. Haori Mountain’s methods will probably be even more ruthless." Looking at Zheng Fa, Zhang couldn’t help but ask: "Why are you looking at me?" "Sister, I want you to transform into Divinity as soon as possible." "Of course I want to..." Zhang suddenly halted halfway through her sentence, and understood Zheng Fa’s intention, "You mean to have me temporarily shun the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array?" "Yes, this array is too consuming of your energy." Currently, within Jiushan Realm, only Zhang and Zheng Fa can control such Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array. Zheng Fa occasionally has to visit the Chongxuan Sect. Therefore, Zhang is almost daily within this Calculation Array. This Calculation Array has brought many benefits to Jiushan Realm, but Zhang as a result has lacked much cultivation time. Zhang turned to look at the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array on the ground, then turned back to look at Zheng Fa: "Without this array, how would Jiushan Realm be developed?" "Compared to you, sister, Jiushan Realm... is not important." Zhang heard this, looked at Zheng Fa’s face, and remained silent, just staring. She knew very well how much Zheng Fa valued the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array, and understood Zheng Fa’s urgent desire for Jiushan Realm’s rapid development. But to give her the time to transform into Divinity, and gain some vitality in future conflicts, Zheng Fa still opted to pause the operation of the Calculation Array. "Actually, I’m not completely ignoring the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array." Zheng Fa said with a smile upon seeing Zhang’s hesitance. "Haven’t you already approved the textbooks for various subjects?" "The textbooks for the Array Dao Academy should be complete?" Zhang said in response: "Just the drafts, there are scarcely any people in Jiushan Realm who understand Array Dao, yet they’re considered usable." "As long as they’re usable, sister might as well select some gifted disciples and impart the operations of the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array, within a year or two, there might be some usable ones. Sister can then easily extricate herself." After all, only needing someone to operate the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array, training them is rather simple. Even though Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array is something novel, one or two years are sufficient. Zhang said in response: "Then after a year or two, I’ll prepare to transform into Divinity, not too late." Looking at Zhang, Zheng Fa heard her speak: "Jiushan Realm and I... You don’t have to choose." ...meaning to have it all. To be candid, the earlier Zhang transforms into Divinity, the more at ease Zheng Fa feels. But seeing the determination in Zhang’s gaze, he understood that what sister sometimes decided, he couldn’t change. He sighed internally, indeed had anticipated this. Thus, there was only one way... Modern day, nursing home. Zheng Fa walked into Tang Lingwu’s room, eyes full of anticipation, asking: "How’s the research on the artificial intelligence algorithm applicable to the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array?" Whether Sister Zhang can quickly transform into Divinity depends on you! Nurturing disciples isn’t an overnight task, but if the intelligence level of the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array can be enhanced, even developing its own consciousness, this would also be a path to liberate Zhang. "There’s been some progress, but the logic of the talismanic diagram and assembly language appears similar, yet there’s actually a significant difference... always encountering minor issues." Tang Lingwu said helplessly. Chapters fırst released on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✦𝓷𝓮𝓽 Zheng Fa walked behind Tang Lingwu’s chair, watched the posts on the forum, and suddenly asked: "I have two materials, take a look, they might be useful." He took out two books, handing them to Tang Lingwu. Tang Lingwu flipped through them, and softly read out the titles: "Red Cloud Jade Book... Immortal Trapping Sword Manual? These are cultivation technique books? What do they have to do with Nine Chapters of Mathematical Array?" "In these two books, there are two approaches to constructing intelligent entities through talismanic diagrams." Seeing Tang Lingwu’s eyes widen suddenly, Zheng Fa felt secretly pleased: Manufacturing artificial intelligence... Xuanwei Realm does that too. Combining the approaches from two worlds, he wouldn’t believe they couldn’t replace Zhang.
