Chapter 789: Chapter 95: The Pinnacle of Array and Artifact Skills! (Part 2)

"Younger Brother Zhou, the flying ship has been preliminarily refined, come quickly to take a look!"

Upon hearing this news, Zhou Xun couldn’t help but show a delighted expression,

Unexpectedly, in just three months, True Monarch Iron Mountain had successfully refined the flying ship. Next, as long as he completes the layout of the restriction array on the flying ship,

the flying ship will be officially a success!

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun’s avatar stood up and walked out of the Cultivation Room.

As for the main body, it continued cultivation.

For Zhou Xun, his main body is his foundation, and the avatar is just for adventuring and treasure hunting across the world.

...

In less than half a quarter of an hour, Zhou Xun arrived at True Monarch Iron Mountain’s daoist temple,

This is the advantage of the teleportation array,

If it were in the past,

Even if he had advanced to the Nascent Soul,

Flying from Wangchuan Lake to Tianhan City would take at least a month’s time.

Compared to now, it’s practically a world apart.

"Younger Brother Zhou, you finally arrived!" Hearing Zhou Xun’s arrival, True Monarch Iron Mountain personally came to the entrance of the daoist temple to greet him.

"Greetings, Grand Elder!"

All the artifact refiners also bowed and saluted,

Today, he is still the Grand Elder of Tianhan City, so naturally, everyone addresses him this way.

"No need for such formalities!" Zhou Xun waved his hand and then followed True Monarch Iron Mountain inside.

Upon arriving at the plaza, he immediately saw a gigantic entity standing in front of him.

The war flying ship exuded a majestic atmosphere, its body stretching five hundred zhang long like a steel fortress, and the ship’s width of one hundred eighty zhang gave a sense of stability and weightiness.

The keel of the flying ship shimmered with mysterious light, as if containing infinite power.

The hull was meticulously crafted from spirit wood, engraved with intricate patterns that emitted a subtle spiritual power fluctuation.

Zhou Xun approached the flying ship, carefully observing every detail. He could feel the powerful energy contained within the flying ship, which, once completely refined, would surely become a mighty weapon for the Eastern Wilderness against the ghostly mist.

"Daoist Brother Iron Mountain’s skills are superb; this flying ship is indeed extraordinary." Zhou Xun praised.

True Monarch Iron Mountain smiled slightly and said, "This is only the preliminary refinement. Next, it depends on you, Younger Brother, as only when you finish setting up the restriction array can this flying ship truly unleash its power."

Zhou Xun nodded and said, "Don’t worry, Daoist Brother, I will definitely give my all. But before that, I still need to carefully inspect all parts of the flying ship to ensure there are no problems."

Thus, Zhou Xun began to slowly move around the flying ship, carefully examining each connection and every component.

Occasionally, he reaches out to touch the surface of the flying ship, feeling the flow of spiritual power within; sometimes he closes his eyes and uses divine sense to probe the internal structure of the flying ship.

After thorough inspection, Zhou Xun confirmed that there were no problems in the assembly of the flying ship.

"Daoist Brother’s Artifact Refining Technique is indeed exquisite, even though it’s the first time refining, it’s extremely perfect." Zhou Xun remarked.

True Monarch Iron Mountain humbly smiled and said, "Younger Brother Zhou praises me too much!"

Zhou Xun took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I shall begin setting up the restriction array now."

After saying this, he waved his hand and a beam of spirit light flew out, hitting the sky, transforming into a huge light screen that enveloped the entire flying ship,

this was Zhou Xun’s arrangement to prevent any disturbances from others,

able to isolate external interference.

After doing this,

Zhou Xun ascended into the air, floating above the flying ship.

His hands formed spell gestures, and beams of spirit light flew out from his hands, landing on various parts of the flying ship.

These beams of spirit light were like threads, intertwining together, starting to form spiritual energy circuits at various parts of the flying ship.

The flying ship’s immense size demands unorthodox methods for engraving spirit patterns,

fortunately, Zhou Xun’s divine sense is exceptionally strong, allowing him to perform such extraordinary skills.

As time went on,

every inch of the flying ship - the hull, deck, keel, cabins, etc. - was engraved with intricate spirit patterns, which then connected together to form a whole.

This step took Zhou Xun exactly half a month.

After completing this, Zhou Xun waved his hand,

a precious "Spirit Fusion Ore" flew out, the same material he used back when he carved spirit patterns for the teleportation array.

Then he made spell gestures to activate the essence within with spiritual power.

Instantly, strands of essence qi were drawn out, under Zhou Xun’s control, merged into those spirit patterns, filling them with radiant silver light, while the glow was restrained!

Finally, releasing a solidification restriction thus, the most basic Array Base was refined!

Next, Zhou Xun’s spell changed,

taking out the previously refined thirty-six array plates,

and arranged them at various places on the flying ship.

Soon, all the array plates were fully arranged, thus forming a unified whole with the entire flying ship,

then Zhou Xun made spell gestures with both hands, pointing at the flying ship!

"Buzz——"

A sudden burst of spirit light circulated the entire ship body!

"Alright, next will be the actual testing!" Zhou Xun smiled slightly,

with a turn of his figure,

he entered the cabin, placing both hands on a piece of jade disc inside the cabin,

meanwhile, a cyan-black colored token flew out,

it was the flying ship manipulation token!

With a thought, a beam of spirit light hit it,

Instantly, the entire ship body lit up, meanwhile, a translucent cyan light screen slowly rose, wrapping the flying ship,

and the flying ship also started up, slowly rising off the ground, meanwhile, the outer light screen simultaneously dissipated,

this majestic scene instantly attracted everyone’s attention!

All the artifact refiners paused their work and began to gather.

Everyone looked up at the war flying ship ascending slowly, their eyes filled with amazement and pride.

Under Zhou Xun’s manipulation, the flying ship stably hovered in the air, exuding powerful spiritual power waves, like a moving fortress, giving a strong sense of security.

All the artifact refiners paused their work and began to gather.

Their faces were filled with expressions of excitement and enthusiasm, eyes shining with fiery brilliance.

They opened their mouths wide, unable to close them for a long time, shocked by the spectacular scene before them;

excitedly discussing with companions beside them, their speech full of pride!

This one flying ship is the result of all their efforts!

"This... this is the Tier Four flying ship, it’s truly magnificent. I never thought I could participate in the refinement of such powerful magical treasure, my life is fulfilled!"

An elderly artifact refiner wept with tears streaming, overwhelmed with emotion.

For these artifact refiners, being able to participate in the refinement of such a treasure is consoling in their lifetime!

Everyone had many discussions, full of anticipation for the war flying ship.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xun felt the operating status of the flying ship, constantly adjusting mana output.

The flying ship began to slowly move forward, navigating within the daoist temple.

Manipulating the flying ship to perform various tests, including turning, accelerating, decelerating, etc.

Under his control, the flying ship flexibly performed various maneuvers, showcasing its powerful performance.

Below, True Monarch Iron Mountain was also startled,

looking up at the flying ship’s performance, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

After Zhou Xun manipulated the flying ship to fly in the air for a while, it slowly descended.

He stepped out of the cabin, coming before True Monarch Iron Mountain and the artifact refiners.

"Younger Brother, can this flying ship be considered a success?" His tone couldn’t hide the excitement.

Zhou Xun heard and nodded:

"For the most part, it’s good, but just now I used my own spiritual power as the source. To truly test it,"

"we still need to use spirit stones as the power source, and then coordinate with the cultivator army, practicing defense, attack, and other operations,"

"Only then can we truly ascertain the flying ship’s condition!"

"What Younger Brother said is reasonable, it just so happens that the Tianhan City cultivator army has been practicing for some time. Why not summon them onto the flying ship,"

"First, to examine how effective their training has been,

"Second, to test the flying ship’s real performance!" True Monarch Iron Mountain then proposed.

"Daoist Brother’s proposal is very good, by then, we can also use Spirit Turtle Red Noon as an opponent, to see if this flying ship can truly withstand Nascent Soul!"

Zhou Xun added another statement.

Spirit Turtle Red Noon has average combat strength, similar to ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, making it the best test subject,

Having made the decision, Zhou Xun then ordered the Tianhan City cultivator army to be brought outside the East City Gate,

while he manipulated the flying ship to ascend into the sky!
