Chapter 525: Chapter 511: Repairing the Warship, Returning to the East Region! _1

Pulling up this massive warship from the depths of three hundred feet of flame lava, the Gu Yuan Tribe paid a heavy price. Tons of spirit materials vanished into nothingness in the blazing flames.

The original bucket-thick chains were now reduced to only a third of their original thickness, and most of their spiritual nature was lost. They could no longer be used as spirit material for forging spirit weapons and could be considered wasted.

The whole Ancient Mountain was torn open in several places due to the dragging of these chains, causing lava to overflow. Fortunately, a defense dam had been constructed a mile away in anticipation of this situation. Now, with the Ancient Mountain at the center, the area within a radius of one mile had already turned into a land of flames.

The massive Void Battleship was now floating on top of the magma. The original light blue defense shield showed signs of dissipation at this moment.

The towering cannons, fierce beast heads, and the ship body cast with metal were rugged and majestic. The ship body, full of gunpowder smoke and ashes, clearly indicated the blood battles this giant ship had undergone.

It was a shocking sight to the soul!

The tall towers were twisted, with only half remained, and there were blotchy stains all over the ship body. If they went a few more feet down, they would damage the warship’s control unit, and the Gu Yuan Tribe wouldn’t have achieved such a victory today!

In the next half hour, Xiao Chen led a group of elders and ten-thousands men leaders into this giant warship. After an inspection, of the twenty-four subcannons in the entire warship, only eighteen were intact. Of the two main cannons at the front and back, only the one at the stern could still be used.

Even so, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but sigh at the sight of this intact main cannon because he realized that the energy supply on this main cannon was the top-grade spirit stone, a kind he did not have in his Gu Yuan Tribe.

Luckily, the subcannons on the sides used high-grade spirit stones as their power source. However, charging one subcannon needed a hundred high-grade spirit stones. It could fire five shots consecutively. There was a spirit gathering array inside the entire Elemental Stone Cannon, which could completely absorb the energy of the inserted top-grade spirit stones, compress it to the extreme in a short time, and fire it out from the cannon.

However, in just half a short hour, the originally mottled warship turned into ashes and floated between heaven and earth.

After being isolated from the world for tens of thousands of years underground, even with the protection of the defense shield, there was no trace of moisture left on these corpses. They had become dried up skin and bone, which turned into ashes under the gentle breeze.

"Could this be the power room of the warship!"

Underneath the middle of the warship deck, there was a huge space where flowing lights shimmered. There was a huge array disk, covering a space of fifty feet, with numerous grooves on it.

At this moment, in those grooves, eighty percent of the positions were left with a trace of white powder, and the other scattered places, which were faintly shining, were top-grade spirit stones. These were spirit stones that had not completely lost their energy.

In the middle of this array disk, an energy pillar rose up. Waves swirled in the disk, continuously converging the energy in the spirit stones into the pillar, supporting the ship’s rain shield.

Below the pillar of light in the array disk, there was a palm-sized silver stone that was constantly shifting between reality and illusion. Though it was only palm-sized, the space around it collapsed and resumed continuously, as if it did not belong to this timeline.

Void Stone!

The core of the Void Battleship was this palm-sized stone, which allowed the ship to soar in the air and even pierce through the void, traveling in space turbulence. The body of the Celestial Tier warship was sturdy enough to resist the impact of the void turbulence.

Two hours later, at the Tribal Grand Hall.

The masters of the Gu Yuan Tribe’s seven great halls were all present. Nowadays, they handle all affairs of the tribe. Privately, the people of the tribe have started referring to the masters of the seven great halls as the "Seven Great Elders".

Of course, Grand Elder Tie Wen, Second Elder Lin Shan, and Third Elder Xiao Tan were still the pillars of the tribe. With the new masters of the four great halls promoted by Xiao Chen as deputies - Tie Wen of the Performing Martial Arts Hall, Huang Liang of the Dark Guard Hall, Mu Qing of the Hundred Herbs Hall, and Xiao Lin of the Divine Weapon Hall - they firmly took control of all the tribe’s affairs.

At the moment, everyone hadn’t quite calmed down yet. Faced with such a giant ship, though it was severely damaged, it was discovered after inspection that the power Spirit Gathering Array, which was most important to the entire warship, was intact. The Void Stone was still usable, and some of the damaged ship bodies could be repaired.

"Chieftain, I have ordered the tribesmen to clean up the entire Void Battleship. Although the ship wasn’t damaged at the core, the ship body was severely damaged. Some parts were seriously deformed and twisted after the battle, requiring repairs!"

"Xiao Lin! How did the craftsmen from the Divine Weapon Hall investigate?"

Hearing this, Xiao Lin, who was seated at the bottom position, stood up and replied, "Reporting to the Chieftain, the craftsmen from our hall have carefully inspected the warship. Although it appears severely damaged, those are merely surface-level problems. It doesn’t affect the core power of the warship!"

"However, we lack the skills and means to replace the lost Elemental Stone Cannons on the warship. Even if we can forge the Elemental Stone Cannon, without the Spirit Gathering Array, it is nothing but a pile of scrap metal!"

Xiao Chen nodded slightly, understanding that the energy transformation array on the Void Battleship was key. It supported the battleship’s flight, defense and offense. The foundation of the Gu Yuan Tribe was not strong enough to grasp such secrets yet.

Even if he had obtained the refining map of the Terrestrial Tier Void Battleship, which contained notes pertaining to the Spirit Gathering transformation array, the current Gu Yuan Tribe didn’t have enough resources to gather the precious materials required.

"Do the craftsmen in the tribe have the confidence to repair the damaged ship body?"

"After our investigation, we can repair the damaged outer hull of the warship. However, it would require a great deal of casting material, even spirit material. Our Gu Yuan Tribe’s current reserves are far from sufficient."

The efforts to tow the warship have exhausted all our reserved spirit material. We still have a lot of ordinary casting material, however, this can only repair ordinary damaged parts of the warship. The main damaged locations require a large amount of spirit material for repair.

"Third Elder, instruct our tribe to accelerate the extraction of spirit material mines, investigate new spirit material mines, and find new veins of elemental stone, especially top-grade elemental stone veins, or even top-grade spirit stone veins."

The next moment, Xiao Chen spoke. However, he had considered that this void battleship actually required top-grade spirit stones as a driving force, and even on its power array disk, he found dozens of crystal fragments that were different from the top-grade spirit stones.

These were a kind of crystal with a more dense structure than top-grade spirit stones. Xiao Chen guessed that they might be spirit crystals - the essence of heaven and earth, which is rarer than top-grade spirit stones. Even in a vein of top-grade spirit stone, you might not be able to find a few spirit crystals.

Generally speaking, a single low-quality spirit crystal is worth a hundred top-grade spirit stones. However, even if these exist, only a few would be traded.

Currently, in the Gu Yuan Tribe, not to mention low-grade spirit crystals, we do not even have a single top-grade spirit stone in reserve.

"Grand Elder, issue an order to command all allied battle divisions; at this year’s annual sacrifice and the subsequent trade conference, all tribes using spirit materials for tribute and exchange can reduce their costs by thirty percent."

In order to gather enough spirit material, Xiao Chen deliberated for a long time. Apart from accelerating the mining of spirit material in his own tribe, he could only seek ways from the more than eight hundred affiliated tribes under his control. Even though the resources these tribes could provide were limited, the total number from more than eight hundred tribes was a significant figure.

"Xiao Lin, all the sacred objects in the Divine Weapon Hall will be used for armor casting, focusing on the repair of the damaged hull of the warship."

"Yes!"

Three days later, in Blue Stone Garden.

Beneath an ancient tree, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged. In front of him, a layer of white powder fell down - the residual impurities left after the primal energy in the elemental stone was absorbed.

In three days, by consuming over a thousand pieces of mid-grade elemental stones and several spirit herbs aged three thousand years, Xiao Chen finally managed to raise his cultivation to the peak of the third layer of the Towering Realm.

"Brother Xiao."

A soft voice echoed, a green shadow fluttering like a colorful butterfly into view.

"Qing Er, is the Stone House of the Hundred Herbs Hall arranged properly?"

"The Hundred Herbs Hall now has over ten stewards, two elders, along with Sister Nianhua stationed there, hundreds of pharmacist apprentices, and several junior alchemists who are continuously refining pills for the tribe’s cultivation. It won’t delay Brother Xiao’s big plans!"

"Good." Xiao Chen nodded lightly. Encased in his fighting energy, the elemental stone dust that had fallen around him was swept away and he stood up.

"Let’s go. Follow Brother Xiao to the Far East of our territory!"

Roar!

Along with the stallion’s roar, Mu Qing screamed, and Xiao Chen embraced her on horseback, flying into the sky, moving towards the outside of the tribe.

The heavenly horse rode through the sky. Nowadays, our horse had already reached the level of a Three-Star Cloud Colt. Perhaps in the depths of the Desolate Wilderness, it wouldn’t be too extraordinary, but in Dragon Fall Ridge, with the strong aura and intimidation of this dragon species, even some Three-Star Beasts hidden in dangerous places would hide their presence once they sensed it.

The heavenly horse flew over the center of Dragon Fall Ridge. Xiao Chen even deliberately flew over the contested elemental stone mine vein that had caused disputes among many factions. Under the pressure from the Gu Yuan Tribe, the conflict among the various factions had completely subsided.

To the East Region.

Xiao Chen, holding Mu Qing in his arms, stood on the top of the mountain, looking over the Desolate Ancient Forest. Mountain ranges stretched out continuously, obscured by mist, while inside the ancient forest, groans of beasts erupted like thunder.

"Brother Xiao, is this where the people of the Dragon Legacy Tribe live?" Mu Qing asked in a soft voice against Xiao Chen’s chest.

"Yes, the ancient mountain three hundred miles ahead is where their sect is located."

The next moment, the celestial horse neighed, like a dragon’s roar shaking the sky. The entire mountain forest instantly quieted down, no beasts roared or birds chirped. The heavenly horse ran through the sky, turning into a golden light, traveling several miles in a breath, disappearing into the ancient forest below.
