Chapter 718 - 521: Immortal Ship_2
Chapter 718: Chapter 521: Immortal Ship_2
Regarding his talent in weapon forging, Chen Zhixing had some awareness.
Although he was not lacking in Longevity Emperor’s Weapons, his forging skill had never been developed. Throughout his life, the weapons he used were either provided by his family or snatched from others. To have him forge from scratch an Emperor’s Weapon capable of interstellar travel, certainly presented a challenge.
"So, where should I go to get one?"
Lost in thought, Chen Zhixing fell silent.
There was nowhere to get it.
The concept of roaming the Star Sea in the Cosmic Realm merely referred to travel between nearby small worlds within the realm, even with the speed of the Sky God, it still took hundreds of years for a round trip. In reality, the Cosmic Realm didn’t truly necessitate Star Sea travel.
Celestial Profound Realm was even less equipped.
Even Huayu, hailed as the number one person from this Holy Land, had to forge an Immortal Ship himself for travel. He hadn’t even acquired the Star Map, and for Chen Zhixing to receive similar treatment from the Three Great Sacred Lands was uncertain what price he would have to pay.
As for other forces.
"The Stone Race probably does not possess Immortal Ships. Their last migration to the Celestial Profound Realm relied on the convenience of space fractures. Had they not encountered space fractures, the Stone Race might not have existed in the Celestial Profound Realm... As for Divine Liu, perhaps there might be something since despite Liu Himself crossing the void physically, He could very well possess similar treasures... regarding other forces."
Chen Zhixing shook his head.
Even if other forces had something, they wouldn’t let this Demon Venerable know.
But if no one spoke, how would Chen Zhixing know who had what in their possession?
One couldn’t just return to Celestial Profound Realm as a Demon Venerable and use it as an excuse to turn things upside down.
"This is troublesome, forget it, better ask Sos if there’s any way. If not, I might have to return to Celestial Profound Realm soon to see if I can exchange for something similar from others."
Along the journey, Chen Zhixing began endlessly pondering who in Celestial Profound Realm might possibly possess similar Immortal Ships.
Finally Chen Zhixing decided to return and find a large auction house, put up a sky-high price, and see if he could obtain one.
"Isn’t there a saying, as long as you pay the right price, there’s nothing in this world you can’t achieve."
"Who said that? How come I don’t know?"
"Huh? Bai Yu? Why have you returned?"
"Couldn’t complete the mission, so I returned."
"What mission couldn’t be completed?"
Upon returning to his residence in Divine Wood Spring City, Chen Zhixing immediately saw Bai Yu lounging in the chair.
Well, it seemed Bai Yu greeted him first after all.
"What kind of mission could it be? A task given by that Old Witch, Yimiao, saying that if we completed it she would release Senior Brother Ci Yun. But when we followed her mission to capture a great sea serpent, who would have thought that this sea serpent would assemble a dozen local strongmen for a sneak attack, leading to heavy losses!"
"Heavy losses? Who incurred heavy losses?"
"Certainly us! The most proactive, Senior Sister Qiluo, was severely injured by a Fire Dragon that appeared out of nowhere, and Uncle Fan Gen, who wielded the ritual artifact, was hit so hard that his source was damaged. It would probably take decades to recover." Conversing further, Bai Yu grew more indignant, "Do you know, these indigenous demigods actually ambushed us! Even though we did not intend to fight the sea serpent to the death, couldn’t it have just stayed quietly in the sea? Why insist on assembling a bunch of local strongmen to battle us! Just like having a screw loose!"
Chen Zhixing: "..."
Invading someone’s territory and not letting them gather allies to chase you away, what kind of logic is that in this world!
"Moreover, you wouldn’t believe how malicious these natives are; not only did they set traps and ambush us, but they also staged breakthroughs and attracted celestial lightning to strike us! I have never seen such shameless people!"
"Using Thunder Tribulation to strike you during Tribulation...?" Chen Zhixing found the tactic familiar.
"Yes, yes, in the end that wolf-headed native died from his own Thunder Tribulation due to lack of foundation. If not for that, I would have dragged you to fight him now! What kind of person! Not hiding away to survive their Tribulation but bringing Thunder Tribulation upon others! Serves them right! Truly deserved to die!"
Bai Yu continuously grumbled, hardly pausing in her rant.
After about half an hour when she finally got tired, Chen Zhixing had a chance to speak.
"By the way, Bai Yu, do you know if there is anything in Celestial Profound Realm similar to your Jade Wave Immortal Ship that can travel the Star Sea?"
"Yes, but why do you ask?" Bai Yu looked at Chen Zhixing with curiosity.
"Well, I just asked Grandmaster Huayu about it; there’s news about the Star Map, but I still lack an Immortal Ship that can travel far." Chen Zhixing chose honesty.
"Grandmaster Huayu?"
"Yes."
"Then you won’t be targeting me, will you? Let me tell you, don’t even think about it! This Jade Wave Shuttle Immortal Ship is not mine! It’s shared property of the Immortal Ascension Sect, not something I can lend to you!"
As she spoke, Bai Yu’s gaze was filled with vigilance towards Chen Zhixing.
"Shared my foot." Chen Zhixing couldn’t help but roll his eyes, "Just now Grandmaster Huayu said the Jade Wave Shuttle Immortal Ship was forged by him, he even mentioned reclaiming it upon departure to traverse the Star Sea with it."
Bai Yu: "???
"Grandmaster Huayu really said that?"
"Yes."
"He...he...how shameless can he be! Jade Wave Shuttle Immortal Ship was clearly funded by the Sect, it’s shared property of the Immortal Ascension Sect, since when did it become solely his!" Bai Yu was displeased. For hundreds of years, she nearly treated the Jade Wave Shuttle Immortal Ship as hers, so why would she be willing to let Huayu take it back.
"Huayu said it was handcrafted by him, and he contributed seventy percent of the materials... Why am I telling you this, aside from your Jade Wave Immortal Ship, is there anything else certain?" Chen Zhixing rolled his eyes, not planning to meddle in the internal affairs of the Immortal Ascension Sect.
"You really want to leave?"
"Yes, though not immediately, probably preparing for a departure near a hundred years later."
"Really!" Bai Yu’s eyes lit up instantly, secretly thinking if she got to be with Chen Zhixing for a hundred years, perhaps she’d tire of him by then?
Thinking like that, Bai Yu naturally wouldn’t say it aloud.
She pondered briefly and responded quickly, "If you’re asking about Immortal Ships, there are two that surfaced in the past millennium which can roam the Star Sea; one is my Jade Wave Shuttle Immortal Ship, and the other was the Celestial Saint Palace replica piloted by Yimiao to your Ziwei Mountain back then. Although the replica isn’t fast nor fully functional, if you’re just considering moving across a not very long distance, the replica could suffice, at least better than having nothing.
As for those from millennia ago...uh, let me think."
Bai Yu appeared contemplative.
A moment later, Bai Yu clapped her hands, saying:
"Celestial Saint Palace’s original can definitely do; no need to mention that. Daluo Taoist Lands has a Daluo Golden Hall, crafted during the Imperial Court era, later seized by Daluo Taoist Lands after the Imperial Court’s collapse... Then there’s the True Dragon Palace in the North Sea, which can roam the Star Sea. Also, I heard that the overseas Wang Family home might have a thousand-four-hundred-year-old Immortal Ship. Not sure if it’s completed yet.
Moreover, besides East Profound Ship, several other Great States might have some relics of the Immortal Imperial Court. These external forces might excavate something from those relics, possibly finding ships used by the Immortal Imperial Court for celestial patrols, like the Heaven-Seeking Ship—a kind of Immortal Ship that can roam the Star Sea, though its speed and range don’t differ much from the Celestial Saint Palace replica, not an excellent choice..."
