Henry Carter said.

　　"Not at all, not at all."

　　Benjamin Foster quickly replied.

　　"Alright, tomorrow morning, outside the west gate, I will have someone deliver the treasure. You may have a Celestial Mechanism cultivator inspect it, just don't reveal its origin."

　　With this, Henry Carter dispelled his concerns.

　　"We will follow your arrangements, senior. We will go prepare now, and the six hundred spirit stones and the high-grade magic artifact will be delivered on time tomorrow."

　　Benjamin Foster said.

　　"I swear on my word, I will never go back on it."

　　A look of solemn determination appeared on Grace Foster's pretty face as well.

　　"There's no need for that."

　　Henry Carter said, then added, "By the way, the power of this item... is quite great. The moment it's activated, it can burn the sky and boil the sea. I suggest you use a puppet talisman to detonate it at an altitude of ten li above where the demons are, and you yourselves should stay far away to avoid being affected!"

　　"Ten li up in the air?"

　　Benjamin Foster was stunned: "Detonating it ten li up can still harm the hundreds or even thousands of demons entrenched in Yunling?"

　　"I told you, this item's power is quite great. When you activate it, your real bodies had best be several hundred li away."

　　"Several hundred li away? Ordinary puppet talismans only have a range of a hundred li..."

　　"Then buy a mid-grade, or better yet, a high-grade puppet talisman, and activate it from five hundred li away."

　　Henry Carter said, kindly adding another reminder: "Remember, the farther the better."

　　Five hundred li?

　　Benjamin Foster was a bit skeptical.

　　Even the detonation of True Purple Flame only burns a few li of land; beyond ten li, safety is assured.

　　No matter how powerful this thing is, could it really affect an area a hundred li away?

　　This person is so secretive...

　　Could he be a fraud?

　　Tomorrow, I'll have to spend some spirit stones to hire a Celestial Mechanism cultivator to inspect it.

　　No inspection, no payment.

Chapter 5: The Transaction

　　Outside the Demon-Slaying Institute, Henry Carter met up with Samuel Cooper, who had bought the Celestial Mechanism magic tools.

　　"A mirror, a book, and a... headset?"

　　Henry Carter looked at the items Samuel Cooper handed over.

　　Especially the third one.

　　It really was a headset.

　　"These are replicas of three supreme treasures left by the great cultivator who pioneered the Celestial Mechanism Realm. The magic mirror serves as a medium to reflect and translate the information you capture from the Celestial Mechanism Realm. The codex is used to record domain names, so your mind doesn't get lost in the boundless information of the Celestial Mechanism Realm. The last item, the heart bell, is used to carry the Celestial Mechanism technique, allowing you to touch the Celestial Mechanism Realm."

　　Samuel Cooper explained, "Of the three items, the magic mirror and codex are low-grade magic artifacts, with a market price of two hundred spirit stones. The heart bell is a mid-grade magic artifact, also priced at two hundred spirit stones. But when I went, the shop was having a promotion—ten percent off, plus ten stable domain names as a gift."

　　As he spoke, he handed over a bill for "three hundred sixty" spirit stones.

　　"Have my parents reimburse me."

　　Henry Carter said as he took the domain names.

　　The Celestial Mechanism Realm records all the information in the world—vast and boundless.

　　Even a True Person would lose themselves and have their consciousness permanently sink if they recklessly immersed their mind in it.

　　In this situation, the great cultivator who pioneered the Celestial Mechanism Realm created the method of opening up sub-realms, called domains.

　　Domains exist within the Celestial Mechanism Realm, like ships in a vast ocean. They are interconnected with the Celestial Mechanism Realm and can freely collect and record information from it, yet are independent and not affected by the boundless information.

　　Each domain fluctuates differently and changes frequently. To distinguish them, a marker is needed—a domain name.

　　The codex is used to record domain names and keep track of the "domain" frequencies, so Celestial Mechanism cultivators can enter those sub-realms at once.

　　Listening to Samuel Cooper's explanation, Henry Carter found it very familiar.

　　"Isn't this just radio frequencies?"

　　But thinking of the existence of things like news agencies and image-recording stones, setting up a radio station didn't seem strange.

　　Henry Carter asked Samuel Cooper about the cultivation of Celestial Mechanism techniques with great interest.

　　Soon, the two returned to the courtyard.

　　As soon as they got back, Henry Carter headed straight for the side yard.

　　Seeing the huge object in the side yard, weighing over forty tons, he instructed James Clark to find a large cart and a few high-level strongmen to move it to the west gate at dawn.

　　Finally, he carefully reminded them to act discreetly and not let anyone find out.

　　……

　　Early the next morning, he took out the ten life-saving magic artifacts William Carter had given him...

　　There were four left now.

　　He picked a puppet talisman from the four remaining life-saving artifacts.

　　He stuck the puppet talisman onto a...

　　Silicone dummy he had prepared in advance.

　　He then put a full-body black robe and a mask on the silicone dummy, making it look almost indistinguishable from a real person at first glance.

　　When escaping, activating this item could easily fool others.

　　Henry Carter attached his mind to the puppet talisman, and, just like operating a remote robot, controlled the fake person to meet up with the high-level strongmen waiting outside.

　　Behind the strongmen was a large cart.

　　The hydrogen bomb was on the cart, covered with a thick black cloth.

　　The fake person led the team, and the journey went smoothly—they soon left the city gate.

　　Outside the gate, Grace Foster and Benjamin Foster were already waiting.

　　With them was a middle-aged man in a star robe, at the late stage of Qi Refining.

　　That outfit...

　　A Celestial Mechanism cultivator from the Skywatch Institute of White Jade City.
