Deliberations and Flying Ship Blueprints

Five Spirits Lord said, "Judging from the strength of the Tribulation Spirit Avatar he cultivated, the one in Northern Spirit Province is only a half-finished product with little combat power. If it were a fully formed Tribulation Spirit Avatar, it might be able to unleash combat power at the True Immortal level."

"However, he also has a weakness. The Qingxu Tribulation Dao is most afraid of purification power, otherwise he would have taken it down himself long ago, why bother with so many tricks."

Li Yunjing nodded slightly.

It's good that it has weaknesses.

The worst thing is having no weaknesses.

As they were talking, the communication talisman lit up.

It was a message from the leader of the Immortal Alliance.

"Sect Leader Li, this matter is of utmost importance. Please come to Heaven-Soaring City immediately for a meeting."

Li Yunjing put away the communication talisman and stood up.

"It seems the Immortal Alliance has also sensed that something is amiss."

"I'm going to Heaven-Soaring City. Junior Brother Mo will oversee all sect affairs. Strengthen security. If there's any further unusual activity over the rift, send me a message immediately."

After entrusting the matter to Mo Xuan, Li Yunjing did not delay and set off alone for Heaven-Soaring City.

Using the teleportation array, Li Yunjing quickly arrived at Heaven-Soaring City.

The once bustling Heaven-Soaring City is now under complete martial law.

The city walls were filled with the Immortal Alliance warriors, the mountain-protecting formation was fully activated, and a chilling atmosphere permeated the air.

Li Yunjing went directly to the Ten Thousand Immortals Hall.

The hall was already packed with people.

The leaders of major sects from various states, powerful Rogue Cultivator, and leaders of various forces were almost all present.

Everyone's face was grave, and whispers mingled among them.

When Li Yunjing entered the main hall, all eyes turned to him.

There is reverence, there is expectation...

Li Yunjing of today is no longer the minor sect leader he once was on the frontier.

He destroyed the Daozhen Sect, forced Haoyang to retreat, established the Sixth State, promoted the Earth Vein System, and killed the leader of the Ancient Vanguard.

Each and every incident contributed to his soaring prestige.

"Sect Leader Li has arrived."

Zhang Jianchen stood up and gestured to them.

Dao Lord Xuanyuan and Dao Lord Hanzun also nodded slightly.

Li Yunjing bowed slightly and walked to the position of the Three Sovereigns.

Zhang Jianchen's gaze swept across the entire room, and he said in a deep voice, "Almost everyone has arrived. I'm sure you all know why I've summoned you here."

"The rift in the sky, the extraterrestrial army—these are all headaches."

"You've all seen the vanguard, but I must tell you, that was nothing more than an appetizer."

A slight commotion arose inside the hall.

Zhang Jianchen raised his hand, and a water mirror appeared in the void.

The view outside the crack is reflected in the water mirror.

In the pitch-black void, countless warships, behemoths, and armies of cultivators stretched as far as the eye could see.

A diverse array of races, bizarre magical Law Treasure, their auras mingled, yet all exuding a strong Tribulation Qi and ferocity.

At the very front of the army floated a massive black altar, upon which stood a blurry purple figure with his hands behind his back.

Although it was only a silhouette, it exuded a chilling aura of power.

"This is the enemy commander, who calls himself Dao Lord Qingxu." Zhang Jianchen's voice was heavy. "According to our calculations, he possesses combat strength at least approaching that of True Immortal, and is considerably stronger than Loose Immortal."

"His allied forces came from seven different Dao Realm, Dao Realm of which had been devoured by the God-Slaying Tribulation. The remaining exiles were incorporated into his army, and together with the Archaic Tribulation Clan he cultivated, the total number exceeded two million."

"Two... two million?"

Someone gasped in surprise, and the hall erupted in an uproar.

Two million soldiers, all of them desperate criminals enhanced by the Tribulation Qi?

How can we defend this?

"Quiet!" Zhang Jianchen voice, silencing the discussion.

"Gentlemen, the rift is still widening. At most three months, the enemy army will be able to pass through completely."

"We cannot hold out; the rift spans thousands of miles, and we can be attacked from anywhere. Our forces are scattered, and we will only be defeated one by one."

"Taking the initiative is even more impossible," an old sect leader said with a wry smile as he stood up.

"In the void, the biting wind is so intense that without a celestial body, even standing is difficult; how can we launch an attack?"

"Exactly! The enemy is waiting in the open, ready to pounce. If we go out, we'll be walking into a trap."

"In my opinion, we should strengthen our defenses and hold our ground until the situation changes."

"Hold on to the death? How long?" someone retorted.

"The cracks are widening, the enemies are multiplying, and we won't be able to hold out any longer."

The crowd argued incessantly, each presenting their own reasoning.

They argued back and forth, but nothing came of it.

Zhang Jianchen frowned.

He looked at Dao Lord Xuanyuan, Dao Lord Xuanyuan slightly.

Looking at Dao Lord Hanzun, Dao Lord Hanzun pursed his lips and remained silent.

Finally, everyone's eyes fell on Li Yunjing.

The room gradually quieted down.

Everyone was looking at this youngest of the Three Sovereigns.

Li Yunjing listened quietly from beginning to end without saying a word.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he slowly stood up.

"Gentlemen, we cannot hold out."

His first words were resounding and powerful.

"The cracks are thousands of miles long and impossible to defend against. Today they attack here, tomorrow they attack there. We are exhausted from running around and will eventually be dragged down."

"Does that mean Dao Lord Li... to take the initiative?" someone asked cautiously.

"But if that's the case, how will we fill the void? Will we risk our lives to do it?"

Li Yunjing looked at the man and said calmly:

"Of course not, I'm not risking my life to fill the gap."

"I have a way to make the army traverse the void."

One sentence silenced the entire hall instantly.

Everyone stared at Li Yunjing, their faces filled with disbelief.

Crossing the void?

Are you kidding me?

That's something only True Immortal from the upper realms can do.

A fierce wind raged in the void; to withstand it with one's physical body, one must possess the body of an immortal.

"Dao Lord Li, you can't speak recklessly," an old sect leader said in a deep voice. "Crossing the void is extremely dangerous; a slight mistake can lead to being torn apart by spatial turbulence."

"I would never joke with the lives of so many people."

With a wave of his hand, Li Yunjing sent a stack of Jade Slip flying into the air.

The Jade Slip slip emitted a soft spiritual light, projecting images into the air.

It includes side views, top views, internal structural diagrams, and detailed annotations of gun positions, power compartments, and protective bases.

"Is this a spaceship?" someone asked hesitantly.

Li Yunjing nodded. "That's right. At the beginning of Jianzhou, Luozhen Sect began to develop flying warships, from the initial Mystic Crane Flying Cloud Boat to the later escort ships, and then to the main warships."

He pointed to one of the blueprints.

"This is the main warship of Luozhen Province Class, three hundred zhang long and fifty zhang wide. It is made of Fallen Star Iron as the main material for its hull and has embedded Earth Vein Crystal as its power core."

"The ship is equipped with thirty-six seventh-tier spirit cannons. A single salvo from the front can severely injure a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcendence First Stage. The hull Black and Yellow Earth Vein Protective Array, which can withstand three full-force attacks from a cultivator at the first Tribulation Transcendence First Stage without breaking."

"Most importantly, it can travel through the void. Its power core draws upon the earth's ley lines to form a protective shield that counteracts the void's fierce winds."

He then pointed to another, larger drawing.

"This is a Creation Class flagship, eight hundred feet long, equipped with a ninth-tier spirit cannon as its main gun. Combined with the Daoist essence of the High Antiquity artifact Divine Seal of Creation, it can injure those at the Third Realm of Tribulation Transcendence. The ship can carry three thousand warriors and also has independent cultivation rooms, Alchemy Chamber, and repair workshops."

"Void endurance can last up to six months."

Li Yunjing's voice was calm, yet every word struck a chord in everyone's hearts.

The main hall was completely silent.

Everyone looked up at the blueprints in the air, their eyes wide open.

The Luozhen Sect actually secretly created something like this? Not only is it incredibly powerful, but it can even traverse the void?

"This... this can't be right?" someone muttered to themselves.

"The art of shipbuilding has existed High Antiquity, but at most it can only fly within the Dao Realm, how could it possibly traverse the void?"
