Chapter 1261: Chapter 1224: Great Battleship Spirit - Building a Fleet!

The so-called spirit core guidance involves fusing the soul body with the entire starry sky battleship, integrating the soul with the cold metal. Of course, this excludes voluntary souls like the Undying Martial Soul of the Nine Springs Family.

For soul bodies of different alien races and wild spirit monsters, it will take some effort to merge into the great battleship.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The entire Secret Realm Space thundered, and the starry sky battleship, fused with the Nine Springs King, jolted violently. It was as if heaven and earth were collapsing. In Xiao Chen’s eyes, the once cold metal began to manifest a hint of vitality, as if it had come to life.

Yes!

It was alive, a mountain of metal, mighty as a divine mountain, had come to life!

He could clearly sense the vast soul power of the Nine Springs King spreading to every corner of the great battleship. The hidden array patterns beneath the metal were activated, pierced through.

One by one, the connection hubs of the formations were triggered. Over a hundred thousand large and small formations were set in motion. These array patterns entwined and merged with each other.

Through the cold metal, Xiao Chen observed the deeper parts of the great battleship—dense, colorful patterns that eventually converged at the location of the Nine Springs King’s Undying Martial Soul.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The entire battleship began to move. The colossal Star Annihilator Cannon at the bow began to rotate, and in the span of a breath, it aimed directly at Xiao Chen.

At that moment, Xiao Chen felt targeted by a dangerous aura. Although he sensed that the cannon’s power wasn’t enough to defeat him, it was only a basic version of the Star Annihilator Cannon, with just a small amount of King Material added to it.

If there were enough King Material, the Star Annihilator Cannon could still be upgraded.

In a hundred years’ time, the Gu Yuan Tribe had trained nearly a hundred thousand battleship craftsmen. Now, they have obtained the complete set of secrets to construct a starry sky battleship. The formation of the Gu Yuan Tribe’s star fleet is not far off!

"King Xiao, although we from the Nine Springs Family have surrendered the secrets of the great battleship, we must still thank your department for its support, which enabled us to build the starry sky battleship and revive the waning fortunes of the Nine Springs Family," said the king. As long as the Gu Yuan holds sway over this Great Wasteland, my Nine Springs will never act against the interests of the Gu Yuan King’s Department!"

Within the starry sky battleship, the Nine Springs King’s thoughts transmitted over. Xiao Chen nodded lightly.

He held not the slightest disgust for the Nine Springs King, but rather a trace of respect for this true monarch.

"People of the Nine Springs, let’s return!"

The next moment, another powerful wave of thought spread out. The craftsmen of the Nine Springs Family in the Secret Realm boarded the newly built Nine Springs starry sky battleship, waving goodbye to the Gu Yuan Tribe Warriors. After a hundred years of building the starry sky battleship, too many things had happened.

...

After the Nine Springs Family left, Xiao Chen’s figure disappeared from this Secret Realm Space, arriving in another space.

Roar!

Instantly, a small dragon, dozens of feet in size and radiating a deep blue color, pounced towards Xiao Chen, letting out a roar from its mouth.

It was the Crystal Holy Dragon from before, this dragon, in a sense, was formed from the blood or bones of a true Dragon.

After being brought back to the Gu Yuan Tribe and cultivated with an abundance of resources, the small dragon tended more towards being a soul body without a physical manifestation. This was the true reason it had not appeared in the outer world for years.

Even though its power was already formidable, it continued to flow like a pool of blue water, emitting rolling waves.

Without a doubt, in Xiao Chen’s heart, this soul body of the Crystal Holy Dragon was his choice for the spirit core of the starry sky battleship!

The only difference was, he wasn’t satisfied with the starry sky battleship!

Though the Crystal Holy Dragon was a soul body, it had grown rapidly in the Secret Realm over the years, and its strength had surged immensely. Currently, in Xiao Chen’s eyes, the starry sky battleship was still insufficient to serve as the body for the Crystal Holy Dragon!

The two starry sky battleships were forged by Xiao Chen using a large amount of divine gold. For this, he ventured deep into the endless starry sky, but despite his best efforts, the divine materials he was able to gather were not of a very high grade.

If he was to find a body for the Crystal Holy Dragon, it had to be perfect, which is why he had not allowed the Crystal Holy Dragon to merge with the starry sky battleship.

However, there came a turning point later on. Before the King-level Tribe was cast, Xiao Chen battled several demon lords from the Demon Clan, and the entire Tribe’s city was destroyed in the fray. It was thanks to the reparations from the East Emperor Palace that the city was rebuilt.

This provided the Gu Yuan Tribe with the opportunity to build a city of much higher quality than the one destroyed, all because they received a massive amount of high-grade mine veins from the East Emperor Palace, even using some King Material to build the formations!

With such an opportunity at hand, could Xiao Chen possibly pass it up?

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

Mental volition surged, accompanied by the roar of the Crystal Holy Dragon, Xiao Chen received its thoughts.

"My body is forged?" With eyes sparkling blue and crystal-clear, the Crystal Holy Dragon danced continuously around Xiao Chen’s body.

"Not yet, but you will be able to merge with the great battleship soon." Xiao Chen’s thoughts transmitted out, dampening the Crystal Holy Dragon’s initial excitement.

This expression caused Xiao Chen to smile amusedly, reaching out to touch the two crystal-clear dragon horns atop its head. The birth of this Crystal Holy Dragon was indeed a mystery; the workings of heaven and earth were truly boundless.

It was but a drop of blood and bone from a long-forgotten Crystal Holy Dragon. After countless years of evolution, it had finally developed intelligence. However, precisely for this reason, although it had its own thoughts, it was incapable of generating a true body.

After being brought back to the Gu Yuan Tribe, it had always been confined to this space, leaving the Crystal Holy Dragon repressed. Apart from Xiao Chen and his two wives, the only other visitor was little Tianma.

However, Tianma’s visits were for combat. A Tianma with the bloodline of a Great Sun Holy Dragon and another being a spirit dragon derived from the blood and bone of a Crystal Holy Dragon were inherently incompatible, like fire and water. Each meeting inevitably ended in a fierce brawl, which Xiao Chen eventually let be.

"Just wait, soon you will have a new body, and if fate allows, there might be a chance to fully integrate the new body. Then, with the transformation through the new body, you could morph into a dragon!"

Xiao Chen gently consoled the little dragon in front of him, calming it down.

In the Blue Stone Garden.

Xiao Chen savored the Spirit Tea in his cup when suddenly, a figure hurriedly approached.

"Greetings, chieftain."

It was Xiao Lin, the Master of the Artifact Hall, who specialized in forging warships for the Gu Yuan Tribe, as well as other divine artifacts and weapons.

"How goes it?"

Xiao Chen gestured for Xiao Lin to sit and signalled him to serve himself some tea. The relationships with these brothers who had followed him to this point were still quite casual in private.

"Chieftain, there aren’t any major issues. When the East Emperor Palace came to rebuild the city walls before, we intercepted various high-grade divine materials, even king materials. They are more than enough for a complete reforging of the Gu Yuan’s Starry Sky Battleship. Once completed, the quality of the entire warship, both defense and attack, will surely double!"

Xiao Lin’s eyes held excitement. The items from the East Emperor Palace, Xiao Chen dared to embezzle a portion without hesitation, a deed that if spread, would definitely shock the Great Wasteland.

"Then, what level will it reach?" Xiao Chen casually asked. What concerned him the most now was what level the Starry Sky Battleship could ultimately reach and whether it would limit the future development of the Crystal Holy Dragon.

"Chieftain, as per your instructions, when the many craftsmen from the East Emperor Palace came to rebuild the city walls, they brought along numerous high-grade divine materials. These materials could evolve slowly as long as they absorb enough spiritual power, so the divine materials we surreptitiously kept are undoubtedly of the highest quality!"

Xiao Chen nodded. To mine veins, they are inherently meant to absorb Heaven and Earth’s Vital Energy over long years, even constantly improving their grade.

"According to the chieftain’s orders, the reforged warship will increase to four major Star Annihilator Cannons, each at least matching the power of a third-tier King. The defensive power will also be elevated one tier, with thirty-six Defense Gathering Yuan Towers increasing the speed of harnessing mysteries by threefold, and both power and range of attack doubling!"

"With such an enhancement in strength, can the formation bases within the warship’s supporting formation method hold up?" Xiao Chen was worried.

Having heard Xiao Chen, Xiao Lin chuckled as if he had made a great deal.

"Chieftain, you need not worry. That lad Tian Fang had already thought of that; when rebuilding the city walls, he secretly intercepted a large amount of formation base materials brought by the East Emperor Palace, all meant for setting up king-level formations. So you see, reforging the Gu Yuan’s Starry Sky Battleship, the Nine Springs Family’s Nine Springs ship is simply incomparable!"

"Good!" Xiao Chen too flashed a smile. He knew his disciple well enough, and it was precisely something he would do.

"Since that’s the case, then finish reforging the great battleship as quickly as possible. Use only the cleanest water for all quenching processes, taken directly from the Deep Blue King Lake at the center of the tribe."

"Your subordinate obeys!" Xiao Lin answered.

"Wait!"

Xiao Chen spoke again: "Besides reforging the warship, the Artifact Hall must also expedite the construction of other models of Starry Sky Battleships, quickly assembling a fleet belonging to our Gu Yuan Tribe!"

"Chieftain, the Artifact Hall has already escalated the schedule for forging Starry Sky Battleships. We aren’t lacking in various divine materials, only suitable soul bodies."

Hearing Xiao Chen’s words, Xiao Lin, Master of the Artifact Hall, pondered for a moment before responding.

"As for the issue of core soul bodies, the Artifact Hall need not worry. I will figure something out. I guarantee that each soul body serving as the core spirit of the battleships will possess the cultivation of the Half-King Peak Realm. So, the Artifact Hall should quickly begin work on smaller models of the Starry Sky Battleships!"

"Chieftain, the casting of the Starry Sky Battleships is new to our tribe’s craftsmen, so I believe it would be prudent to initiate with a smaller quantity for the first batch of battleships. Two should suffice, which grants us a chance to test the forging capabilities of our Gu Yuan Tribe!"

"You may consider this internally within the Artifact Hall!"

Soon after, Xiao Lin took his leave, Xiao Chen, holding the white jade teacup, was left deep in thought.
