Chapter 1460 - 662: The World of Flying Boats! (Part 3)
Chapter 1460: Chapter 662: The World of Flying Boats! (Part 3)
Chen Xuan abruptly sprang to his feet.
With a single palm strike, just as the Dao Pearls were about to be absorbed by the Compass, the five Dao Pearls were instead absorbed into his own hand.
"Fuck, good thing I reacted fast!"
Chen Xuan cursed loudly. If these five Dao Pearls had been absorbed, the Heavenly Dao would definitely have sensed it, and by then it would inevitably alarm the Three Saints.
But at this moment, the Compass flew to hover in front of Chen Xuan.
"Giv... give it... to me..."
The thing that had never reacted before now sent out a wave of fluctuation, a weak voice echoing in his sea of consciousness.
"Who are you?"
"I... I want..., to eat, eat..."
Broken and halting, impossible to communicate at all. Chen Xuan’s brows furrowed.
"You can’t absorb these Dao Pearls for now. Once everything is settled, I’ll give them to you!"
Upon hearing this!
The Compass trembled, seeming extremely conflicted. In the end, "Alright!"
Then it flew into Chen Xuan’s sea of consciousness.
"What the hell is it, anyway?"
Chen Xuan muttered. The old man had given it to him, saying it had once come along with the continent of the Supreme Domain itself.
"Meaning it came from there!"
"No idea if that old man in the Spirit Realm knows about it!"
He pondered for a long time and still came up with nothing. Shaking his head, "Forget it."
Then he felt out his own Dao. Compared to before, it had grown far more formidable. Previously he was roughly on par with a Spirit Saint; now... could he match a Cloud Saint?
But from the Artifact Saint’s mouth he’d learned that Cloud Saints were far too mysterious; their true strength unknown!
"We’ll take it one step at a time."
A jade slip appeared in his hand. Recorded inside was the method for forging the flying vessel, including all materials and Arrays.
Chen Xuan split off a strand of his soul to examine it.
But with just a single glance, his scalp went numb.
The materials list was densely packed, easily numbering in the hundreds of millions. Aside from some common stuff, a huge portion he didn’t recognize at all.
As for the Arrays!
That was even worse. To him it was practically a heavenly scripture.
He couldn’t understand a thing.
He retreated gloomily, a bitter smile on his face.
He had once fancied himself reasonably accomplished in Arrays. Now it seemed that in this area he wasn’t worth shit.
"Half a month from now, a Spirit Saint will personally come to the Artifact Refining Sect and deliver the Emperor Realm soul and the materials for the flying vessel."
Just then, the Artifact Saint’s voice sounded at Chen Xuan’s ear.
The next instant Chen Xuan vanished, and when he reappeared he was already in an independent space.
"Hiss—"
Within the space, a flying vessel floated in midair, its entire body silver, blotting out the sky and sun. Though it was not yet complete, its hull was already covered with Array runes, flashing on and off. Standing before it, Chen Xuan felt like an ant trying to shake a tree.
So insignificantly small!
Chen Xuan stepped into the air, arriving above the flying vessel.
On top of it were thousands of Artifact Refiners.
Not far from the vessel were rows upon rows of furnaces. Once materials were smelted, they were continuously sent up onto the flying vessel.
"Well?"
The Artifact Saint appeared at his side. Though he himself had been forced into this, this damned flying vessel was probably the greatest masterpiece of his entire life.
They called it a flying vessel, but there were rows of houses, towering city gates, mountain ranges outside, all kinds of demon beasts...
Everything was there!
Calling it a complete world would not be an exaggeration.
"It’s truly spectacular!"
Seeing this scene, Chen Xuan couldn’t help but admire the Artifact Saint. Although the materials and such were all provided by the Three Saints, at its core it still relied on him.
Worthy of the Upper Domain—no!
Of the entire world’s number one Artifact Refiner, number one Array master!
"It’s a pity..."
The Artifact Saint suddenly sounded somewhat unwilling. "The control authority over the core isn’t in this old man’s hands!"
What they were seeing now was essentially the outer shell of the flying vessel. Back when the core was being refined, the Three Saints had worked with him, and that core now sat within an independent space at the vessel’s center, sealed jointly by the Three Saints.
He couldn’t get in, and didn’t dare to!
"Take me to see it!"
He was very interested in the flying vessel’s core.
"Don’t mess around. If the seal is disturbed, the Three Saints will immediately sense it. By then..."
The Artifact Saint was downright startled by his idea. This was the Three Saints’ lifeblood. If it was tampered with, the Three Saints would descend at once!
"What’s there to be afraid of? I’ll just take a look."
In the end, the Artifact Saint brought Chen Xuan to the independent space at the flying vessel’s center.
A blazing sun!
Right now it was wrapped by the aura of three Daos!
Outside were countless dense runes.
"This is the source of power for the flying vessel!"
"Once the vessel is completed, this blazing sun combined with top-tier Spiritual Objects will allow it to start up."
The Artifact Saint began explaining to him.
"Mm."
Chen Xuan nodded. Then his pupils turned blue. The long-unused Telepathy activated once more, and after several rounds of strengthening it should have reached its peak.
It directly pierced through the outer rune seal.
The blazing sun appeared in his eyes.
If one paid attention, they would see that the center of Chen Xuan’s pupils was golden, with an icy blue outer ring.
Meanwhile, the Artifact Saint beside him didn’t dare speak, his heart tight with tension.
Terrified that Chen Xuan would alarm the Three Saints.
"There are four directions beneath the blazing sun that are missing something!"
Chen Xuan didn’t understand, but that something was obviously missing he could still see.
"Which means they need four top-tier Spiritual Objects."
But a moment later!
"No, that’s not right!"
Chen Xuan denied his own thought. He should have just seen a lotus pattern beneath it.
Flower Saint!
This was prepared for her.
Which meant they actually needed five top-tier Spiritual Objects!
Top-tier Spiritual Objects were the foundation of becoming a Saint. They had long since fused with them. If forcibly stripped away, if they didn’t die they’d be crippled!
A deathtrap for the Lower Five Saints!
"The Three Saints have quite a plan!"
Then Chen Xuan shifted his position and continued to examine.
But the more he looked, the more tightly his brows knitted.
"What’s going on?"
"Is it an illusion?"
Finally he returned to where he had been.
"What’s wrong?"
The Artifact Saint beside him felt relieved when he stopped, but that expression of his... what did it mean?
"When did the Three Saints each ascend to sainthood?"
Chen Xuan didn’t answer him, instead he asked about the Three Saints.
"The Three Saints?"
