Chapter 691 - 69: Build High Walls, Store Up Grain, and Postpone Claiming Kingship_2
Gongsun Huaizhi said, "The so-called art of mechanisms, when it reaches great success, must invariably harness the power of all things under heaven and earth. Sole reliance on mechanisms will ultimately meet its limits, only by incorporating the laws of nature can one truly begin."
The old man was a quintessential type of proud and arrogant technical genius.
If he could not be subdued, he would be no different than any other person, even if they were the Heavenly King.
Should he be subdued, then Gongsun Huaizhi would become an extremely honest, enthusiastic, and guileless great mechanism master. He took out a stone and explained, "This stone is filled with a type of ’qi’. It must not be exposed to fire, for once it meets fire, it will immediately explode. The destructive power in such a confined space could be equivalent to a blow with all the might of a Martial Artist from the Seven Heavens."
"But rest assured."
After the huge rock wall was opened, a hundred-yard boulder swayed slightly in the wind, a beam of light poured in through a crack, and then the secret chamber suddenly brightened. Li Guanyi fixed his gaze to see that there was a concave device where the light entered that could gather and direct light.
By gathering natural light and directing it elsewhere, after several such redirections, beams of light fell down upon stone platforms, upon each of which sat various mechanisms in miniature form.
The feat of Li Guanyi capturing a thousand troops single-handedly completely stunned Gongsun Huaizhi.
The old man went back and forth, with wide eyes and touched the still warm pastries, utterly baffled. Even if catching a thousand pigs, tying them up, and leading them back home, it would take several days.
And what about a thousand armored soldiers, accompanied by a War General from the Five-layered Heaven?!
