"Do we have a countermeasure for this kind of weapon?"
Regardless, this is a weapon, and it's best to have protective measures in place.
"Hey, Brother Li, you're overestimating them. This weapon is indeed troublesome against ordinary people, but we have magic powers. A single Restoration Technique can easily take care of them. However, we haven't revealed it to anyone yet. We're just waiting for the right moment to use it to outmaneuver them."
In fact, if it weren't for the tremendous changes in Divine Land in recent years, with the country's core strength concentrated on internal reforms, it's uncertain how many countries would still be left in the world today.
It's true that the Divine Land People Divine Land People peace, but to say that they don't hold grudges is to invite criticism.
Ten generations of enmity can still be avenged, but the century of humiliation before the founding of the nation cannot be easily forgotten. The names of those countries are still written down in our little notebooks. When the internal situation of Divine Land stabilizes, that will be the time for revenge.
Of course, as a country that values benevolence and morality, we would never resort to barbaric tactics. We believe in having a legitimate reason for our actions and that everything we do is aboveboard.
"What happened to that treaty again?"
If we want to develop in space, there is an Outer Space Treaty that restricts us. Although we can ignore it, since we have joined this organization and signed the treaty, we should abide by it on the surface when possible, because we value trust.
"Of course we withdrew. That thing was entirely detrimental to us. We could have cooperated with several other countries, each with their own strengths, but now we can't use them anymore. On the contrary, the treaty's terms and conditions were too restrictive, so it was better to just withdraw."
As the two were discussing the recent situation, the spaceship slowed down, gradually reducing its speed to a very low level. Then, it began to adjust its direction and flew into the gap in White Jade Capital.
Upon closer inspection, the outer layer of White Jade Capital is actually modeled after a planet. A thick layer of soil covers the entire spherical exterior, making it look even more like a captured asteroid if you don't look closely.
As the spaceship flew into the gap, it was discovered that it was actually a space port. After the spaceship entered, several robotic arms would hold it in place and then move it to a docking area on the side.
At what appeared to be a gap, there was a membrane resembling water ripples covering the spaceship, separating the inside from the outside. After the spaceship landed in the port, Li Xingkong and his group disembarked one after another.
As soon as they landed, they sensed a distinct difference. This space dock was equipped with a gravity array, which meant that there was at least one other cultivator in Divine Land who had begun practicing the Moonlight Qi Refining Method, and who also had some knowledge of arrays.
In the novels Li Xingkong had read before, many array masters were simply array masters who could set up all sorts of arrays. That was indeed absurd. Putting aside other things, if you set up a gravity array but don't understand the relevant knowledge of gravity, wouldn't you just be copying blindly and memorizing the array structure? The array you learn will naturally be lifeless. Such a person is more like someone who sets up arrays than an array master.
There's absolutely no technical skill involved. The only skill they've mastered is imitation. They can draw any formation that someone else draws, and they'll draw the same one exactly. As for optimizing or simplifying formations, they're completely clueless about that.
These half-baked array masters might be everywhere in Divine Land after a few hundred more years of development, but in this day and age, they are still very rare.
In this day and age, having a special skill is a real talent; those who aren't skilled enough simply won't get ahead.
Li Xingkong only needed to use his Divine Sense to observe for a while to see that there were many array formations in this space dock. Moreover, judging from the Magic Power routes of these formations, they were basically all made by the same person, whose talent in array formations was quite high.
"Who drew this formation? Their skill in creating formations is truly remarkable."
After scanning the area with their Divine Sense, the group walked towards the interior of the dock, and Li Xingkong asked a question.
"This formation was created by a folk master named Xia Yuqing after cultivation became widespread. Before cultivating, she was a disabled person with a leg ailment. However, after cultivation became more widespread, she showed extremely high talent in cultivation, and even higher talent in formations. The formation construction in this space dock was basically designed by her alone."
Speaking of this, Tang Cheng sighed. Although their group of people had decent cultivation talent, they were still far behind those with top-tier talent. Their only advantage was that they started cultivating earlier.
Moreover, they all have their own specialized fields of study, and no one has the time to conduct research on Dharma Aspect. This is why Xia Yuqing was able to surpass others in the field of formations.
The practice of spiritual cultivation itself has essentially eliminated the physical differences between men and women. Under the conditions of spiritual cultivation, the so-called gender equality is truly realized.
All abilities come from within oneself and have nothing to do with gender.
Li Xingkong really wanted to meet such a master of formations. He would definitely make sure to meet her properly once he returned to Earth Star.
After walking along the dock for a while, we passed many cabins under construction. Most of these cabins were where various components of the spaceship were being built. The entire construction process of the spaceship was being carried out in this dock on the surface of Earth Star, where supplies only needed to be delivered periodically.
Reaching the stern of the dock, in a large hall, there was a large hole in the center. Looking down from this hole, one could see the slowly rotating clouds on the surface of Earth Star.
"This is where the dock and the space elevator connect. However, the elevator is currently hovering over the waters near Cherry Blossom Country and won't be able to get here anytime soon. If we want to go back, we'll have to take a freefall."
Standing at the edge of the cave entrance, Tang Cheng smiled. Clearly, this was definitely not the first time they had done something like this.
"Let's go."
This was naturally not a difficult task for Li Xingkong.
"Alright!"
Tang Cheng responded and jumped down, channeling his Magic Power to transform into a beam of light as he descended to the ground. Li Xingkong followed suit, stepping forward and rushing downwards.
The two, one in front of the other, maintained a relative position as they landed in Earth Star's atmosphere.
They controlled their speed perfectly, avoiding excessive friction with the atmosphere, and descended to the ground at a relatively gentle speed. After exiting the atmosphere, through the high sky, the two could see the magnificent land of Divine Land shimmering with vibrant light.
At the edge of Divine Land's territory, a curtain of light seemed to rise into the sky, enveloping a large part of the Divine Land's borders.
"This is?"
Li Xingkong saw it clearly, and he called out to Tang Cheng, stopping his fall.
"This is the Divine Land Nation-Protecting Great Array, which is currently under construction. It is nearly 40% complete and is expected to be finished next year. Once completed, this array will integrate air defense and enemy defense. When necessary, it can also be activated to isolate the effects of severe weather, such as typhoons and sandstorms from abroad, thus keeping natural barriers outside of Divine Land to the greatest extent possible."
Tang Cheng gave a brief introduction. Of course, the mechanisms involved are very complex. What kind of weather conditions need to be isolated and what kind need to be allowed to be released? These all need to be analyzed in detail by meteorological experts before a conclusion can be drawn.
