The Fleet, Loose Immortals Reappear

"Because the core isn't an ordinary Spirit Stone," Li Yunjing said, "It's Earth Vein Crystal, combined with the Xuanhuang Daoist runes."

"Over the years, Luozhen Sect has been experimenting while simultaneously developing new plans. They failed over a hundred times before finally developing a mature blueprint."

"It was originally intended for the future opening of the seventh and eighth states, to facilitate interstate scheduling. I didn't expect it to be used here first."

Everyone was still bewildered.

It's not that they lack experience; it's that this thing is too revolutionary.

If it were truly possible to traverse the void, the strategic significance would be immense.

"Sect Leader Li, how many of these warships you mentioned have been built?" Zhang Jianchen asked in a deep voice, his breathing becoming somewhat rapid.

"Currently, thirty-six Mystic Crane Class frigates have been completed, and three Province Class main warships have been built," Li Yunjing said. "They were originally built according to the defense needs of the Sixth State, so the number is not large."

"But the technology is mature. As long as there are enough materials and craftsmen, twenty Province Class main warships can be built within a month, and the number of Mystic Crane Class frigates built can at least triple."

As for the Creation Class capital ships, the construction difficulty is too great. Even with a large workforce and sufficient materials, it's estimated that only five can be built in a month.

"However, the number of ships built within a month is enough to form a void fleet."

The breathing inside the hall became heavy.

Twenty capital ships and sixty frigates.

If this really works out, what's there to fear about an extraterritorial coalition?

Open up the void directly and fuck them!

But soon, someone else raised questions.

"That's true, but what about the materials? Fallen Star Iron and Earth Vein Crystal are both rare items. Even if the entire Dao Realm were to gather enough, how much could they possibly collect?"

"And what about the craftsmen? Such a complex warship couldn't be built by ordinary craftsmen."

"Furthermore, Dao Lord Li, this shipbuilding technique is the most treasured possession of your Luozhen Sect. Would you be willing to share it?"

The last question voiced everyone's thoughts.

Sharing this level of technology is tantamount to exposing the secrets of a secret organization to the public.

No one would agree to that.

Everyone was looking at Li Yunjing.

Li Yunjing spoke calmly and slowly:

When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken.

"If the Dao Realm is gone, no matter how strong the Luozhen Sect, it won't be able to defend it."

"The blueprints will all be shared; the core craftsmen will come from the Luozhen Sect."

But I have conditions.

"Sect Leader Li, please speak!" Zhang Jianchen said immediately.

"First, the shipbuilding headquarters is located in Luozhen Province, where there are many mines, many craftsmen, and stable geological features, making it suitable for shipbuilding."

"Secondly, all resources will be allocated uniformly by the Immortal Alliance, with each state contributing according to its strength. The fleets built will be under the unified command of the Immortal Alliance."

"Thirdly, after this battle, shipbuilding technology must not be divulged by any party. If you wish to build such ships privately, you must pay a fee and obtain the approval of the Luozhen Sect. Otherwise, if discovered, you will be considered an enemy of the Luozhen Sect."

All three points are reasonable and justifiable.

The group looked at each other, then all nodded in agreement.

"No problem!" Zhang Jianchen slammed his hand on the table. "Let's do as Sect Leader Li says!"

"I'll see who dares to break these three rules!"

Just as everyone was getting excited.

"Wait a minute."

Two aged voices came simultaneously from behind the hall.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

Two figures slowly emerged from behind the hall.

On the left was a man dressed in green with white hair, holding a whisk, exuding an air of otherworldly Dao Bone and ethereal aura, who was actually Loose Immortal.

On the right is an old man in purple robes, with an ancient sword hanging at his waist. He exudes a sharp aura and is also Loose Immortal immortal.

"Senior Xuanjizi!"

"Senior Yunyouzi!"

Someone recognized the two and exclaimed in surprise.

These two are senior figures in the Dao Realm, legendary Loose Immortal who have survived Lightning Tribulation and have one foot already in the Immortal Realm.

"Two patriarchs," Zhang Jianchen quickly bowed, "What brings you here?"

Xuanjizi smiled slightly, "With such a commotion, if the two of us old folks didn't come out of the mountain, this whole world would be gone."

Yunyouzi's gaze fell on the blueprint in the air, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light.

"Young friend's shipbuilding techniques are indeed unique." He looked at Li Yunjing and nodded slightly, "Earth Vein Crystal as the core and following the path of leyline Earth Vein Dao, it's stable."

Li Yunjing cupped his hands slightly and said, "You flatter me, senior."

"We brought some things with us this time," Xuanjizi said with a smile. "Over the years, we've traveled all over the High Antiquity ruins in the Dao Realm and found quite a few old artifacts."

With a wave of his hand, a pile of materials appeared in the center of the hall.

There were huge pale golden crystals emanating gentle spatial fluctuations, broken bronze-colored ship hulls engraved with High Antiquity divine patterns, and heavy, jet-black metal pieces.

"This is Star Core Adamantine, Void Stone, and the remains of an High Antiquity Star Raft," Xuanjizi said. "The Star Raft was a precious vessel that traversed the void in High Antiquity times, destroyed during the First God-Slaying Tribulation."

"These materials are perfect for shipbuilding. With the Dao principles of the Star Raft Remnant, the spaceship's adaptability to the void will be increased by at least 30%. And with the Star Core Adamantine, the power of the spirit cannons can be increased to another level."

The people inside the hall were both surprised and delighted.

Just when you're about to fall asleep, this is like a pillow delivered to your door!

I was initially worried about insufficient materials and quality.

The two Loose Immortal elders solved the biggest problem with a single move.

"You two are truly virtuous," Li Yunjing said, bowing respectfully.

With these materials, the spacecraft's performance will far exceed expectations.

Yunyouzi waved his hand. "It's nothing to talk about lofty ideals. If we can't protect this land, the two of us old folks will be finished too."

"Young friend Li has guts, willing to use the sect's most powerful technique. What are we two old folks doing hiding these junk?"

Xuanjizi smiled and said, "Moreover, we two would also like to ride in this new spaceship and go into the void to meet Dao Lord Qingxu."

"Let's go see if that Dao Lord Qingxu is more powerful, or if we two old fogies are more powerful."

Everyone burst into laughter.

The oppressive atmosphere vanished instantly.

They have the technology, the materials, and Loose Immortal expert in charge.

What are you afraid of?

Seeing the crowd's high spirits, Zhang Jianchen pressed his advantage:

"Very well! In that case, I hereby declare..."

"The Void Shipbuilding General Bureau is established, with Li Yunjing as its head, overseeing all shipbuilding affairs. Ancestors Xuanjizi and Yunyouzi serve as honorees, and Dao Lord Xuanyuan and Dao Lord Hanzun serve as deputy heads."

"Each state shall allocate resources and craftsmen according to its strength, and the first phase of fleet construction must be completed within three months!"

"Yes, sir!"

The crowd responded in unison, their voices resounding throughout the hall.

After the meeting ended, Li Yunjing stayed behind.

Zhang Jianchen, the two Loose Immortal, and the Three Sovereigns beings stayed behind for a small meeting.

"Young friend Li, I entrust the shipbuilding entirely to you," Zhang Jianchen said solemnly. "If you have any needs, just let me know, and the Immortal Alliance will fully cooperate."

Li Yunjing nodded. "Alliance Leader, rest assured, but I have a concern."

"Go ahead," Zhang Jianchen nodded.

Li Yunjing said in a deep voice, "Three months is too long. Dao Lord Qingxu won't give us three months. He will definitely keep sending vanguards to harass us, or even launch a large-scale attack."

"During the shipbuilding period, the defense line must be held, especially Luozhen Province, where the shipbuilding headquarters is located, making it a key target for the enemy's attack."

Zhang Jianchen was taken aback. Although Li Yunjing had previously said that a fleet could be built within a month, he was still surprised.

However, Zhang Jianchen also considered various issues, such as resource allocation and personnel coordination, so he extended the time to three months.

But just as Li Yunjing said, Dao Lord Qingxu wouldn't give them enough time.
