Myriad Swords Soaring Void Demon-Slaying Formation
If it's just a small amount of spirit wood, this job is easy. But when there are millions of spirit wood to be burned, the workload becomes enormous.
Even if the Chen Clan gathered several thousand Tier 2 Artifact Refiner with Foundation Establishment above Foundation Establishment, it would still be thirteen years before they finished processing all the spirit wood.
The work that followed was beyond the capabilities of these low-level Artifact Refiner.
Chen Nianzhi personally led more than 300 Artifact Refiner of the third rank or above to work together to piece together each piece of spirit wood and fuse the Dao patterns within them.
It took him seven years of such busy work to finally complete the forging of the Scarlet Flood Dragon Treasure Ship.
"Finally, it's done."
Looking at the Scarlet Flood Dragon Treasure Ship before them, Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong breathed a sigh of relief, revealing a hint of joy.
This Scarlet Flood Dragon Treasure Ship was crafted using the skeleton of Flood Dragon at the Demon Emperor Realm as its backbone, thirty-six Tier 4 spirit woods as its frame, three thousand six hundred third-tier spirit woods as its supporting beams, and a million second-tier spirit woods as its materials.
Once successfully forged, this ship was ten thousand feet in size; it was more like a massive mobile city than a Treasure Ship.
Three sets of Tier 5 formations were burned onto this Treasure Ship: the Tier 5 Essence-Gathering Formation, the Return-to-Ruins Water-Control Formation, and the Water-Fire Divine Thunder Formation.
The Tier 5 Essence-Gathering Formation is the core of controlling the Scarlet Flood Dragon Treasure Ship and also Treasure Ship energy source, so there's no need to elaborate further.
The Return to Void Water Control Array is derived from the Divine Ability ' Return-to-Ruins Water-Control Art ' created by Chen Nianzhi. This Divine Ability is further divided into two Great Divine Ability: ' Whale-Swallows Vast Seas ' and ' Water-Origin True Ward '.
The former can draw upon the water elemental power from rivers, lakes, and seas to replenish the Scarlet Flood Dragon Treasure Ship's energy, while the latter is the Scarlet Flood Dragon Treasure Ship's defensive formation.
The Water-Fire Divine Thunder was the trump card of the Flood Dragon Treasure Ship. This Divine Ability combined the fire element Dao patterns of the Red Flood Dragon Demon Emperor with the water element Dao patterns on the Treasure Ship, and could unleash an attack comparable to the Nascent Soul Late Stage.
According to Chen Nianzhi's estimate, this Treasure Ship can carry millions of cultivators across hundreds of millions of miles of territory for long-distance combat.
As long as a Nascent Soul Cultivator activates it, its offensive and defensive capabilities are comparable to those of Nascent Soul Late Stage True Lord. Its only drawback is that it lacks the agility of Nascent Soul Cultivator.
After experiencing the power of the Treasure Ship, Chen Nianzhi couldn't help but say with delight, "With this Treasure Ship in hand, the Lineage will have a slightly easier time during the Abyssal Demon Calamity War."
"Yes."
With a Tier 5 War Treasure Ship stationed there, the safety of the Lineage's cultivators will be greatly increased during the great war two hundred years from now.
Moreover, the Treasure Ship not only possesses powerful offensive and defensive capabilities, but can also transport millions of cultivators and travel a million miles in a single day for combat. This is arguably the most important asset for the Chen Clan.
If things truly come to a standstill, Chen Nianzhi could even use the Treasure Ship's transport capabilities to move the Lineage's resources to the Central Ancestral Domain, thus preventing the Lineage's complete ruin.
Jiang Linglong tried to activate the Treasure Ship, then said, "How about we buy some Demon-Hunting Ballista and Demon-Slaying Cannon?"
Hearing him say that, Chen Nianzhi's brow twitched slightly. The Demon-Hunting Ballista and the Demon-Slaying Cannon were both treasures that could increase the combat power of the Treasure Ship.
In the past, in the Eastern Sea Cultivation World, the Zhang Clan's Demon-Hunting Ballista and Demon-Slaying Cannon were feared by the Three White Bone.
However, the Demon-Hunting Ballista and Demon-Slaying Cannon are expensive and difficult to hit Nascent Soul Cultivator. They are only suitable for clearing out low-level demons or dealing with huge beasts.
Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi said, "We can consider purchasing the Demon-Slaying Cannon in the future, but we're still lacking in the Demon-Hunting Ballista."
"How about we set up a sword formation on the Treasure Ship?"
"Sword formation?"
Jiang Linglong frowned, showing a hint of surprise. It was rare to see a sword formation set up on Treasure Ship.
Seeing her expression, Chen Nianzhi smiled and said, "For example, we can find forty-nine Tier 4 flying swords and arrange them on the Treasure Ship."
"With the amplification and activation of the Treasure Ship's array, forty-nine immortal swords, barely enough to threaten Nascent Soul, can be unleashed instantly. Although their power is slightly inferior to the Demon-Hunting Ballista, their advantage lies in their flexibility and versatility."
"That's a good idea."
Jiang Linglong nodded and then said, "Yan Ziji has Tier 5 metal-element Earth Vein, which gives birth to one or two pieces of Tier 4 Treasure Gold every ten years. She has accumulated quite a lot by now."
"We can directly purchase Tier 4 Treasure Gold from her to forge the immortal swords needed for the sword formation."
"The output from Purple Ji Mountain alone might not be enough," Chen Nianzhi smiled slightly, then added, "The Ji Clan also owns a gold-producing Earth Vein; we can discuss this business with them."
"Furthermore, not only Tier 4 immortal swords, but also Tier 2- and third-tier ones can be purchased. After being forged into a sword formation, ten thousand swords can fly together, which can be very useful in dealing with demons and monsters at critical moments."
"..."
After making the decision, Chen Nianzhi went to Purple Ji Mountain and bought seventeen Tier 4 Treasure Gold pieces in one go. She also went to the Ji Kingdom and purchased more than twenty Tier 4 Treasure Gold pieces from the Ji Clan.
They searched through the clan treasury again and found a total of fifty-one Tier 4 Treasure Gold, four hundred third-tier Treasure Gold pieces, and more than ten thousand Tier 2 Treasure Gold pieces.
After gathering the Treasure Gold, Chen Nianzhi immediately had the cultivators who were forging the Treasure Ship work overtime for three months, and finally they successfully forged the sword formation.
After successfully forging them, the two selected forty-nine Tier 4 immortal swords, three hundred and sixty-five third-tier immortal swords, and fourteen thousand eight hundred Tier 2 immortal swords to form a sword array, which was then integrated into the Scarlet Flood Dragon Treasure Ship.
After integrating the sword formation into the Treasure Ship, Chen Nianzhi tried to activate it. Instantly, thousands of sword lights rose from the Treasure Ship, and the overwhelming Sword Qi engulfed everything.
"What a fine sword formation!"
Seeing the sword formation sweeping across the land, Jiang Linglong couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, saying with some surprise, "With the blessing of the Treasure Ship, the power of this sword formation is quite astonishing. Even Nascent Soul Early Stage True Lord would probably frown."
"As for demons below the Nascent Soul realm, even if tens of thousands surge up, they will only be throwing their lives away."
Chen Nianzhi withdrew the sword formation and then smiled, saying, "This sword formation poses almost no threat to enemies above the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, but it will definitely be extremely useful against low-level demons."
"Since it manifests as ten thousand swords traversing the sky when activated, let's call this formation the ' Myriad Swords Soaring Void Demon-Slaying Formation '."
With things having come to this point, Chen Nianzhi has now completely perfected this Treasure Ship.
Only then did the two realize that it had taken them over twenty years to forge this Scarlet Flood Dragon Treasure Ship.
These past twenty-odd years have had little impact on a Nascent Soul True Lord like Chen Nianzhi, but for the Foundation Establishment Artifact Refiner who participated, it has been quite a long time.
For the past twenty years or so, those Artifact Refiner at the Foundation Establishment stage have spent six hours a day refining weapons, leaving them with almost no time for cultivation, which has had a significant impact on their cultivation.
Thinking that it had delayed the cultivation of many cultivators, Chen Nianzhi called Chen Xianling over and instructed, "Everyone worked hard on refining the Treasure Ship this time, let's give them some extra rewards."
"Each Foundation Establishment cultivator will be rewarded with one thousand Spirit Stone, each Purple Mansion cultivator with a third-tier Law Treasure, and each Golden Core realm cultivator with three hundred thousand Spirit Stone."
