Chapter 512: Chapter 498: Unpredictable Human Heart - Void Battleship!_1

Even though the transaction was completed, Xiao Chen had underestimated the value of this Azure Blood Divine Gold. However, a piece of Divine Gold as large as a baby’s fist was enough to upgrade a top-tier Spirit Weapon to the next level.

Around his Stone House, several drifting, seemingly non-existent wills lingered, and although they did not pry, they had already memorized his aura.

He felt a sense of alert. Every Massive Tower Realm Wu Expert who came today had killed their way out of a sea of corpses and blood, and to reach this realm, none of them were of a kind-hearted and lenient nature.

Noting this secretly, Xiao Chen opened the wooden box, and his eyes scanned over the Array Disk inside, then immediately stored it in the space within the Mountain and River Seal. Now was not the time for him to contemplate on it.

As for what these people, who had spiritual wills were thinking, he could sense some of it. Moreover, quite a few people harbored such thoughts, but he was not afraid. The path of cultivation was full of hardships; if he couldn’t even withstand this crisis, he wouldn’t be able to go further on the path of cultivation in the future.

Just then, another treasure appeared in the Void above the Stone platform.

It was an old beast skin scroll, three feet in diameter, emitting a faintly decayed aura.

"What is this?"

"Could it be a treasure map left by an ancestor?"

"Or perhaps it’s a Cultivation Technique Collection!"

Everyone couldn’t help but speculate as a mighty aura burst out from the Stone House above.

"Old Ghost Wan, so you’re bringing out this refining map to fool people again, this time do you want to exchange it for a Terrestrial Tier Technique or a rare treasure of Heaven and Earth?"

"What I want to exchange isn’t your business, Old Ghost Han!"

"Hum, I’m afraid those youngsters below, with their lack of experience, would be deceived by you, old ghost. Using a refining diagram of a Void Battleship from tens of thousands of years ago to bluff and deceive people, aren’t you afraid of retribution?"

What?

"Void Battleship!"

The warriors below were surprised. There were so many good things in this trade conference, and this time a refining blueprint for a Void Battleship had appeared, which had actually exceeded most people’s expectations.

The Void Battleship was a crystallization of human wisdom, a large-scale War Soldier capable of flight and combat, forged from countless spirit materials. Tens of thousands of years ago, some powerful Battle Divisions of the Border Wasteland Region possessed Void Battleships as their tribe’s Divine Weapons, but they were destroyed in the flames of war.

Nowadays, it was only the Bai Ze Battle Division, the most powerful division in the Border Wasteland Region, that had obtained a lowest-class Void Battleship from an ancient relic. Though it was no more than fifty cubits long, its power was comparable to that of a Venerable Realm warrior.

It was precisely because of this Void Battleship that Bai Ze Battle Division had oppressed the Ghost Tribe on the Void Path they were guarding.

Now hearing that someone was selling a refining blueprint for a Void Battleship, how could they not be shocked?

"Old Ghost Han, you’re pushing it too far!"

Old Ghost Wan seemed to be somewhat wary of Old Ghost Han, his hoarse voice echoing once again in the Void, "This trade conference is all voluntary. I didn’t force or lure anyone, so where is there any deception or fraud?"

"Moreover, this Void Battleship refining blueprint I have is obtained from an inheritance that is tens of thousands of years old and is a true casting blueprint. If any Battle Division can cast the Battleship according to this refining blueprint, their strength will definitely skyrocket!"

"Haha, Old Ghost Wan, you really have no shame. If the Void Battleship was so powerful, why would you be willing to sell it? Aren’t you trying to fool the youngsters below?"

"Old Ghost Han, do you really think I’m afraid of you?"

"Casting this Void Battleship requires countless spirit materials, and our Border Wasteland Region, after suffering the catastrophe tens of thousands of years ago, is scarce of top-tier spirit materials, Divine Gold is hard to find, and it’s just wishful thinking to want to cast this Void Battleship. Not to mention, even if you were to cast a lowest-class Void Battleship, it would deplete the entire foundation of a top-tier Battle Division. We only have a few top-tier Battle Divisions in the Border Wasteland Region, what’s the point of having it!"

"Humph!"

Ignoring Old Ghost Han’s sarcasm, Old Ghost Wan spoke to the many warriors of the various Battle Divisions below, "This Void Battleship refining blueprint outlines two methods of casting Void Battleships and as long as one can cast any one of them, they can gallop across the Border Wasteland Region. I wish to exchange it for an item that can help in building the Martial Arts Tower from birth!"

Upon saying this, Old Ghost Wan paused for a moment, then continued, "All the tribes can examine this Void Battleship refining blueprint and see if I, Old Ghost Wan, am deceiving you like Old Ghost Han said!"

Whoosh!

Suddenly a breeze stirred up in the Void, and the beast’s skin scroll, several feet in diameter, was swept towards one of the Stone Houses.

Atop the Stone platform, Venerable Lingyun could also not help but sigh as he looked at the Battleship refining blueprint. This was a crystallization of human wisdom. Even the lowest-tier Void Battleship had defensive and offensive capabilities that were comparable to a Venerable Realm warrior.

However, he was not very envious. Within their Bronze Commerce Association, there were several existing Void Battleships, with one even at the celestial tier, two hundred meters long, and the power of its Main Cannon, fueled by the energy of 10,000 top-tier Elemental Stones, was comparable to a warrior in the ninth tier of the Towering Realm. However, it had an enormous consumption.

Whoosh!

Gently snatching the blueprint for refining the Void Battleship, Xiao Chen carefully studied the two types of manufacturing methods on it.

He was indeed envious. This was simply a killing machine. Unfortunately, gathering the casting materials for a Battleship was as hard as reaching the sky, requiring all sorts of casting materials weighing tens of thousands of catties.

Just to gather the most essential Void Crystals from the depths of the void, which are the core guarantees for spaceships to fly through the air, is no mean feat. Even Venerables do not dare to step into the depths of void lightly, fearing to be engulfed by the turbulent flow of the void.

A single such warship could deplete an entire Battle Division. Extrapolate that power to Bai Ze Marquis Division, which possesses a Void Battleship, and the Ghost Tribe does not stand a chance. This fact is evident from witnessing the might of the warship. After such a long time, the fact that there is still only one warship in human inheritance implies that it is impossible to cast another.

Even though Xiao Chen coveted such a war asset, it was beyond the reach of the Ancient Yuan Battle Clan at the moment. Thus, he put away his fervor and prepared to pass the beast skin scroll on to the warrior in the next Stone House.

"Roar!"

At this moment, the Heavenly Horse next to him let out another low roar. Its spiritual fluctuation and noble bloodline were akin to that of a human teenager.

"What did you say!"

Responding to the spiritual pulse of the Heavenly Horse, Xiao Chen instinctively cried out in surprise.

Then, he passed the beast skin scroll to the next person. Holding the head of the Heavenly Horse tightly with both hands, he upset the horse greatly.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

"You’re telling me there’s a warship, almost identical to the one outlined in this casting diagram, beneath the Magma of the ancient mountain in the tribe!"

"Roar!"

Seeing Xiao Chen’s skeptical gaze, the Heavenly Horse rolled his big golden eyes and let out another low roar, clearly irritated by Xiao Chen’s doubts.

"How is that possible!"

If there were indeed such a Void Battleship under that magma, it should be a relic left behind by the Dragon Fall Ancient City thousands of years ago. But after tens of thousands of years, even a high-tier warship would have been burned to ashes beneath the flames of Earth Fire over many years, unless it was made of Divine Gold to withstand the corrosion.

That was why Xiao Chen was skeptical. The horse’s revelation was incredibly difficult to believe.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

Seeing Xiao Chen’s skeptical expression, the little Heavenly Horse roared several times. Using its large golden head, it pushed Xiao Chen to one side, walking away and ignoring him.

Xiao Chen found it all rather amusing. The little Heavenly Horse was throwing a tantrum and ignoring him due to his doubts about its revelation.

Xiao Chen did trust the Heavenly Horse, going back and forth in his mind about whether to take this battleship casting diagram or not. After all, he could not be sure to what extent the Void Battleship beneath the Earth Fire Magma was damaged.

Eventually, Xiao Chen’s eyes gleamed with intelligence. Not to mention the spirit items that could cast a Martial Arts Tower innately, he had over a dozen such in his Mountain River Seal Space. And although these spirit items are extremely precious to the people of Tan, he could produce them in large quantities.

The diagram to cast a Void Battleship, on the other hand, was too rare to come by. Even if he couldn’t make use of this casting diagram for now, he held on to the faith that one day it would prove useful. It might even help with the restoration of the battleship hidden under the magma, and that would mean he hit a jackpot!

"Alright, everyone. Now that you’ve had a look at the casting diagram of the Void Battleship, could those interested warriors please offer their Spirit Items?"

Soon, as every warrior got to take a look at the casting diagram of the battleship, the owner of the diagram didn’t speak up, but the Lingyun Venerable who was standing on the Stone Platform did.

Despite the casting diagram being somewhat of an illusion due to the difficulties involved in building a Void Battleship, it still aroused the interest of many tribes, all seemingly fostering some kind of wishful thinking in their hearts.

"One Linglong Leaf!"

Finally, a warrior broke the silence with an offering.

"One fourth-tier Martial Arts Tower!"

What!

After a while, a voice rang out from the stone house above the void. It was a warrior from the Zilong Battle Clan, who’d had a face-off with the Bai Ze Battle Division for the eternal Azure Sky in the Outer Domain.

His words stunned everyone. A fourth-tier Martial Arts Tower, even implying a Martial Arts Tower cast by a warrior! Only a Marquis Division could make such a bold move.

Whenever a warrior transcends a tribulation, he condenses his Martial Arts Tower. If the warrior is attacked or backfired by Combat Qi and meets his doom, there is a very slim chance that his Martial Arts Tower might be left behind. Other warriors might then refine it to become Massive Tower Realm Wu Experts themselves.

While this method of refining has significant drawbacks, for warriors devoid of any hope to reach the Tower Realm, it is a great hope nonetheless.

"Sigh," the voice of Old Ghost Wan sighed out, heavy with age, "Spirit items are hard to come by, especially those that improve the quality of an innate Martial Arts Tower. They are the rare treasures on the Great Wasteland Ten Thousand Spirits List. Compared to that, my Battleship Casting Diagram seems rather ordinary!

"If that friend is willing to part with such a spirit item, plus my willingness to help him for once, perhaps..."

Old Ghost Wan was now a bit disheartened. The Border Wasteland Region compared to other territories was somewhat barren. He didn’t hold any hope for the existence of spirit items right now.

Just then, a purple mist streaked across the void and a voice echoed out.

"Senior, I wonder if you would find this item worthwhile?"
