Spring Thunder Rises, All Things Come to Life

The realm rift guarded by Great Qian had always been a small one, and the Outer Devil Realm on the other side was likewise remote—an out-of-the-way backwater even by the standards of the Outer Realm Devils.

The land here was vast and devils sparse. Across this enormous territory, there were only three Devil King Fortresses scattered about, with fewer than a hundred Devil King domains under them.

Even the realm-crossing vessels used to traverse the rift numbered only two small flying skiffs. They were quite old, their exteriors mottled and battered, thoroughly worn-down relics.

Many of their core artifact-refining components and array talisman components were products of the Divine Martial Era, and the refining techniques had long since become incomplete. These days, Bailian Hall and the Array Talisman Hall of the Immortal Dynasty could only patch them up and barely keep them running.

Small flying skiffs had poor transport capacity. When transporting the "Wang Clan Colossal Cannon," the cannon had to be dismantled into components and shipped in batches, then reassembled after crossing the realm rift into the Devil Realm.

At the welcoming banquet, Wang Liyao asked with a trace of mental weariness, "Do you think our Wang Clan has any chance of replicating realm-crossing vessels?"

It was no wonder she was somewhat exhausted. As the overall
