The Mighty Furious Whale Airship
"Let's set the time for one day from now. It's a bit troublesome to transfer the sect cultivators stationed in the market, and it will take time," Jia Mu Zhenren said happily when he saw that Ling Pengyun had agreed.
"Alright, then let's set it for one day from now," Ling Pengyun nodded.
Afterwards, the two chatted for a while. Jia Mu Zhenren was hospitable and let Ling Pengyun stay in a quiet room in the Teleportation Hall for the night.
Early the next morning.
As Ling Pengyun followed Jia Mu Zhenren out of the Wood Origin Teleportation Hall Wood Origin Marketplace, his gaze was drawn to a giant flying boat, thirty feet long, blood red in color, and exuding the aura of Third Rank Low Grade Law Treasure, that was hovering in the sky above the Muyuan Market.
"Jia Wood Daoist Jiamu, could this flying vessel be the same Third Rank Low Grade Angry Whale medium-sized flying vessel you mentioned yesterday?"
Ling Pengyun gazed at the blood-red flying boat in the sky, a sharp glint in his eyes, and asked the question to Jia Mu Zhenren beside him.
"Indeed, this flying boat was forged by a third-tier weapon-refining master of our sect using the entire skeleton of a Golden Core Initial Stage Wrathful Blood Spirit Whale as its dragon bone, along with numerous spirit bamboos."
"This flying boat has a good speed, capable of traveling 200,000 miles a day, and can carry a maximum of 500 people. The Third Rank Array Formation set up in it is called the Geng Metal Wrathful Whale Grand Array. It was made by a Third Rank Array Formation master of our sect using the soul of the Golden Core Initial Stage Wrathful Blood Spirit Whale that was used to refine this flying boat."
"Once this formation is activated, it can conjure up the phantom of the Wrathful Blood Spirit Whale at the Golden Core Third Layer. The strength of this phantom is only about 50% of the strength of the Wrathful Blood Spirit Whale in life, which is similar to the strength of Golden Core First Layer cultivator."
Because of the impending battle, Jia Mu Zhenren also told Ling Pengyun, his "comrade-in-arms," about the effects of the Tier Third Rank Low Grade Wrathful Whale Flying Boat.
Of course, information about the Wrathful Whale Flying Boat is not a secret in Wood Origin Marketplace; it can be easily found out by asking around.
Even in the nighttime Black Market within the market town, some of the Wrathful Whale Flying Boat that had been eliminated by the Wood Origin Immortal Sect were being sold.
After hearing the information about the Wrathful Whale Flying Boat, Ling Pengyun was deeply moved.
"If the Lineage also had a Third Rank Low Grade array flying boat equipped with a powerful array to assist us, and with me on board, we could probably give it a try to destroy the Poison Blood Demon Sect."
But when he thought about the size of this powerful airship and the materials it would require, his mind went blank.
According to his calculations, not counting the powerful formation, the cost of crafting the flying boat alone would probably be tens or even hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stone.
If we include that Higher Vehicle Third Rank Low Grade formation, which is worth at least 300,000 Spirit Stone, the cost price would be at least tens of thousands of Spirit Stone.
Adding the two together, the cost of this powerful flying boat alone would be at least three or four hundred thousand Spirit Stone.
If this flying boat were sold in the market, its value would probably double.
"Compared to flying boats, the Lineage currently needs a Third Rank Array Formation to assist it. This will ensure the safety of the Lineage Lineage I leave."
"After all this calculation, the Lineage's current assets are still too few." Ling Pengyun's face showed a hint of helplessness as he made some plans in his heart.
As his thoughts returned to normal, he and Jia Mu Zhenren took to the air and boarded the Wrathful Whale Flying Boat, which was fifty feet long, above the market.
Hundreds of cultivators were already standing on the deck of the flying boat.
Clearly, these cultivators were the Wood Origin Immortal Sect cultivators that Jia Mu Zhenren had drawn from the market patrol team.
Among this group of cultivators, the only Pseudo-Core Realm cultivator saw that Jia Mu Zhenren and Ling Pengyun had reached the Golden Core. He waved his hand and took out a Red Crab array plate from his Storage Bag, then inscribed a Method Formula into it.
Within a short distance, the Wrathful Whale Flying Boat transformed into a Red Crab streak of light and quickly flew out of the market area.
Five days later.
The Wrathful Whale Flying Boat soaring through the air created a massive, blood-red curtain of light.
Then, the airship began to tilt and plunged into the unfathomable depths of the sea below.
Boom!
A loud bang was heard, stirring up countless splashes and waves, startling some ordinary fish in the surrounding area into scattering and fleeing.
After the flying boat entered the water, everyone saw the underwater trench that was thousands of feet long and thousands of feet deep, which was their destination.
In addition, as the flying boat gradually approached the underwater trench, the cultivators on board could all feel the rich Spiritual Qi emanating from within the trench.
"Judging from the density of Spiritual Qi, the Spirit Vein within this ravine is probably at least of the third grade."
"No wonder the Red Armor Crab chose this place to settle down."
Ling Pengyun muttered to himself.
After a while, when the flying boat entered the area of the seabed trench, it also Peaceful Residence Inn the attention of the red-armored crabs that lived in the seabed trench.
Suddenly, a huge roar of a monstrous Demon Beast came from the bottom of the underwater trench.
"Roar!"
Immediately afterwards, a red beam of light, over thirty feet long, suddenly shot out from the depths of the seabed trench.
"It's that Red Armor Crab King at the Golden Core Third Layer. Ling Daoyou, come with me to stop this demon."
With a loud shout, the Jia Wood's body flashed with blue light, and in an instant, he transformed into a wooden figure.
A wooden spear Law Treasure also appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Then, he exerted force with both legs, transforming into a streak of Azure Escaping Light, and charged directly at the oncoming red light.
The two streaks of light collided quickly, creating a massive surge of spiritual energy that stirred up a colossal wave.
The red beam of light also revealed itself due to the obstruction of Jia Mu Zhenren.
It was a giant crab, over thirty feet in size, covered in a layer of red armor, holding two enormous red pincers each five feet in size, extremely majestic and imposing, with an aura reaching the Golden Core realm.
At this moment, the Golden Core Second Layer Red Armor Crab King was constantly waving its pincers to block the fierce spear technique of Jia Mu Zhenren.
Seeing this, Ling Pengyun dared not delay any longer, lest it affect the battle situation.
He directly summoned the prototype of his natal Lifebound Magic Treasure, the "Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Treasure Pearl".
Some time ago, Ling Pengyun incorporated 10,000 jin of Water Spirit Iron into this precious pearl.
This also resulted in the pearl itself weighing 110,000 jin (approximately 65,000 kg).
The pearl flashed with light and quickly grew to a size of thirty-three zhang.
Its weight, due to the effect of the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Spirit Pattern, increased more than three times, reaching 330,000 jin, which is even stronger than the power of an ordinary Third Rank Low Grade Law Treasure.
"Go."
Ling Pengyun waved his hand, and the enormous pearl squeezed the surrounding seawater, transforming into a blue stream of light that swiftly hurtled towards the Red Armor Crab Demon King.
The Red Armor Crab Demon King was only at the Golden Core Second Layer, but even with its incredibly sturdy shell, its strength was extraordinary.
However, the strength of the Jia Mu Zhenren who was fighting him was by no means weak. His cultivation level was as high as the Golden Core Middle Stage. With his sharp spear technique, he directly suppressed the Red Armor Crab Demon King, who was at the Golden Core Second Layer realm.
This also meant that the Red Armor Crab Demon King, who was fighting against Jia Mu Zhenren with all its might, only noticed the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Treasure Pearl when it entered within a hundred feet of it.
However, this Red Armor Crab Demon King was also a seasoned fighter, and immediately used his innate divine Divine Ability "Crimson Armor Heavenly Phantom" to create a huge red light screen, which forcefully blocked the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Treasure Pearl, which was thirty-three feet in size.
"Boom!"
A tremendous roar immediately followed.
The Crimson Armor Heavenly Phantom, was, after all, the innate defensive divine Divine Ability unleashed by the Golden Core Second Layer Crab Demon King. Its defensive strength was exceptional, no weaker than the defensive light barrier erected by Third Rank Low Grade defensive Law Treasure of the same level.
The Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Treasure Pearl, which had always been invincible, was thus blocked.
The defensive light barrier gradually dimmed under the attack of the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Treasure Pearl.
However, it is impossible to build the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Treasure Pearl in a short period of time.
"With the Heavy Yuan Treasure Pearl alone, it will probably be difficult to break through the defensive Divine Ability erected by the Red Armor Crab Demon King in a short time."
"This demon king truly lives up to his reputation as Golden Core cultivator; even his defensive Divine Ability are incredibly powerful."
Upon seeing this, Ling Pengyun frowned slightly.
He didn't hold back either, waving his hand to summon the "Burning Yuan Lamp," which had recently been modified into a Righteous Path Law Artifact, conjuring up a large area of Burning Yuan True Fire.
Although this place is now deep in the sea, the Burning Yuan True Fire Essence has reached the third level and is no longer afraid of ordinary seawater.
Instead, it directly burned the surrounding seawater into plumes of water vapor.
The Burning Yuan True Fire, carrying the power to incinerate everything, quickly swept over the red armored light screen erected by the Red Armor Crab Demon King, enveloping half of it.
Subsequently, the Burning Yuan True Fire continued to burn the red armor light screen, making the spiritual light flickering on the screen even dimmer.
The Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Treasure Pearl also continuously accumulated power and bombarded the light screen.
The Jia Mu Zhenren, who was engaged in close combat with the Red Crab Demon King, was startled when he saw Ling Pengyun suddenly unleash a ball of extraordinary true fire that swept towards the Red Armor Crab Demon King.
His gaze fell upon the true fire that trapped the Red Armor Crab Demon King, and then upon the floating red lamp in front of Ling Pengyun. For a moment, he felt a strange sense of familiarity.
He stood there stunned for a moment, then his eyes twitched.
"It's that mid-grade Third Rank Middle Grade Saint Demon Burning Yuan Treasure Lamp."
"But isn't that demonic lamp Devil Artifact? How come this Burning Yuan True Fire has no demonic energy or evil intent whatsoever? And its grade has also dropped from the Third Rank Middle Grade to the level of Magic Treasure Prototype?"
"Has this lamp now been refined into a Righteous Path Law Artifact by Ling Daoyou?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Logically speaking, even with my cultivation level, it would take at least ten or even several decades to refine that mid-grade Third Rank Middle Grade demonic treasure into a legitimate Righteous Path Law Artifact."
"Could it be... that Ling Daoyou has taken a different approach and altered the demonic runes and restrictions on that demonic lamp?"
Upon thinking this, Jia Mu Zhenren was startled.
Modifying the magical runes on Devil Artifact is extremely difficult, and modifying the magical runes on Third Rank Middle Grade magical treasure is even more difficult.
Even within the Wood Origin Immortal Sect, only a few Third Rank High Grade weapon-refining masters are confident in improving the demonic runes and restrictions on Third Rank Middle Grade magic treasures, transforming them into Righteous Path Law Artifact in a short period of time.
This is why Devil Artifact and treasures are of very low value in the eyes of Righteous Path cultivators.
"No wonder Fellow Ling Daoyou and I specifically wanted this Saint Demon Burning Yuan Lamp after we killed that Pseudo Pseudo-Core Realm Devil Cultivator. It turns out that he has mastered such a method, or that the expert behind him has the means to modify Devil Artifact."
Jia Mu Zhenren was distracted for a moment, and his opinion of Ling Pengyun improved.
