The Origin of the Sky Floating Giant Vessel

The Origin of the Sky Floating Giant Vessel

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Fan waved his hand and subdued the Rock Mantis.

Wang Yulun, covered in wounds, stood beside Xu Fan in shame.

The world shifted once more, and the two returned to the original world.

Wang Yulun looked at his body in amazement and exclaimed, "Brother Xu, have you comprehended your Soul Bewitching Art to the highest level already?"

In the world Xu Fan had created, every injury he suffered had felt incredibly real. Once that world vanished, the scene from just now felt like a dream.

"Let's not talk about that yet. Tell me about the mistakes you made in battle."

Xu Fan waved his hand, and a Light Screen appeared, displaying the scene of Wang Yulun's recent battle.

"How should I put it? Throughout that battle, your output was practically zero. You just passively took a beating."

"Here's a suggestion: if you run into this kind of Demon Beast alone in the future, run as fast as you can," Xu Fan said.

"Alright, let's talk about the first thing you need to improve."

The image froze at the point where Wang Yulun cast his first Fire Spear Art.

"Your spell prediction actually wasn't much of a problem. At the Rock Mantis's original speed, it definitely would have hit."

"But Demon Beasts have Spiritual Intelligence too. So when you fight, you need to understand one thing: every spell must seal off all of the enemy's possible movements."

As Xu Fan spoke, the screen began to change. Wang Yulun on the screen slightly adjusted his casting direction, and the real Wang Yulun, watching from the side, instantly froze.

"The angle of that Fire Spear Art..." Wang Yulun's eyes turned fiery as he stared at the screen.

"If you adjusted your casting angle to this extent, that Rock Mantis wouldn't have been able to dodge this Fire Spear," Xu Fan continued.

The image on the screen continued playing. Wang Yulun watched intently. He knew opportunities to learn like this were rare.

The screen shifted to Wang Yulun's fifth spell, and the image froze.

"Here, your mindset in battle started to change. Your movement and casting both started becoming careless."

"Leaving that aside, the Demon Beast dodged four of your spells, yet you didn't observe even the slightest bit about its movement habits."

As Xu Fan spoke, he formed his two fingers into a sword and tapped Wang Yulun between the brows.

Wang Yulun habitually dodged to the right, only for Xu Fan's fingers to tap him right between the brows.

After withdrawing his hand from Wang Yulun's forehead, Xu Fan once again tapped toward his forehead right in front of him.

Hit again.

"See? Everyone has their own habits. The same goes for movement."

"When your prediction fails, you can only attack according to the enemy's movement habits."

After Xu Fan finished speaking, he waved away the screen formed by the Light Shadow Art.

"Brother Xu, is that all? I feel like I still have so many shortcomings. Explain more," Wang Yulun hurriedly said. After all, such opportunities were rare.

"This isn't something you'll learn just because I explain it."

"That's enough for now. We'll talk again after you've comprehended these things," Xu Fan said lightly, looking unfathomably profound, though inwardly he was immensely pleased with himself.

"If you have nothing to do later, you can come here to train," Xu Fan continued.

"Then thank you, Brother Xu," Wang Yulun said happily. In his eyes, studying here was the bright road toward entering Class A Hall in the future.

After Xu Fan finished speaking, he slumped back into the Recliner.

"Tell me about that Giant Boat," Xu Fan said with interest.

Wang Yulun also copied Xu Fan and slumped into the Recliner.

"That Giant Boat is called the Floating Sky Vessel. Five thousand years ago, our sect's Supreme Great Elder took all the sect's assets to the Central Continent and commissioned the Heavenly Artifact Sect to forge it."

"For the sake of that Floating Sky Vessel, the sect did not recruit any new disciples for fifty whole years. Everyone in the sect lived frugally and economized."

"The disciples back then couldn't stand the sight of Spirit Stones. The moment they saw them, their eyes turned red."

"Only after the Floating Sky Vessel was completed did the sect finally turn things around. Later, it was promoted to a first-rate sect."

"Why did they have to buy this thing back then? What was it for? Fighting, or searching for resources?" Xu Fan asked doubtfully. It reminded him of that tiny country in his previous life throwing all its strength into building aircraft carriers.

"Of course it was for finding resources. Half of our Feather Realm is ocean, collectively known as the Endless Sea. It is said to be boundless, and its resources are far richer than those elsewhere."

"Most importantly, the depths of the Endless Sea contain many resources that our continent does not have."

"And the dangers in the depths of the Endless Sea are such that even mighty Tribulation Transcendence experts would not dare venture there alone," Wang Yulun said.

"So if you want to search for resources in the Endless Sea, you need a Sky Floating Giant Vessel like this," Xu Fan said.

"That's right. Only this kind of Floating Sky Vessel can withstand the attacks of large numbers of Mahayana Stage Demonic Beasts."

"It is said that the depths of the Endless Sea are filled with gigantic Demon Beasts at Void Refining Stage and above."

"Otherwise, the seniors of our Heavenly Gate Sect above the Nascent Soul Stage would have long been unable to sustain themselves on the resources of the sect's continent alone."

"That's only one reason. More importantly, the Floating Sky Vessel can not only travel to the Endless Sea, but apparently can also go to the legendary Extreme Sky Domain."

"The Extreme Sky Domain?"

Wang Yulun pointed at the sky, indicating that it was located in the extremely high heavens.

Isn't that fucking outer space? Xu Fan thought.

"However, only those Top-Level Sects dare go to the Extreme Sky Domain. We can only muddle along in the depths of the Endless Sea."

As Wang Yulun explained, Xu Fan gradually came to understand the importance of this Floating Sky Vessel.

By the standards of his previous life, this thing was a nuclear weapon. It represented both status and strength.

"Yulun, is there any way to go aboard the Floating Sky Vessel and take a look?" Xu Fan asked.

"Uh, the people who can generally enter the Floating Sky Vessel are divided into four groups."

"First, cultivators who specialize in detection spells. They are mainly responsible for piloting the Floating Sky Vessel."

"Second, the combat personnel of the War Hall, generally seniors from Class A Hall."

"Third, Pill Refiners and Artifact Refiners, responsible for the preliminary processing of materials."

"Fourth, the great experts above the Void Refining Stage stationed at the center, who are generally Integration Stage cultivators."

"If Brother Xu wants to go, it's very simple. As long as you join the Class A Branch Hall of the War Hall, you can enter after reaching the Golden Core Stage."

"As for the others, you need to be at least a third-tier Pill Refiner or Artifact Refiner."

Hearing this, Xu Fan said disappointedly, "I still have to reach the Golden Core Stage? Forget it, then."

Reaching the Golden Core Stage meant he still had to live safely past the age of two hundred and fifty. Just thinking about it was depressing.

"Oh, then forget it. My curiosity has been satisfied. It makes no difference whether I go or not," Xu Fan said slowly.

"Brother Xu, are you really not joining the War Hall?"

"No. Fighting and killing are boring. But I'm quite interested in how this Floating Sky Vessel is forged. Once I've saved enough Spirit Stones in a while, I'll go learn Artifact Refining," Xu Fan said. He was suddenly looking forward to the day he learned Artifact Refining Art.

"Artifact Refining? With Brother Xu's assets, I'm afraid it won't be enough," Wang Yulun said, looking at the Spirit Rice in front of the Small Courtyard. With that Spirit Rice alone, he could at most afford the tuition for a Pill Refining course.

"Hehe, you don't need to worry about that," Xu Fan said with a smile. He now knew that his talent was all-encompassing.

"Alright then. I know Brother Xu is a genius. From now on, Yulun's Magic Treasures will be forged by Brother Xu."

"Haha, easy enough, easy enough."
