Chapter 1448 - 322: Skycraft

Chapter 1448: Chapter 322: Skycraft

A brand new method?

Upon hearing this word, the cultivators present all displayed a change in expression.

At this moment.

The Python Emperor was already looking at Shen Changqing at the end, speaking solemnly: "In these times of great contention, a Divine King represents the truly top-tier combat power for clans like ours, and taking rash action could trigger a clan war.

Once a clan war breaks out, if not handled properly, it could bring about a crisis of clan annihilation.

Therefore, for this battle, I have made an agreement with other clans to let cultivators below the Divine King realm fight for the ownership of the newborn realm."

Cultivators below the Divine King!

As soon as these words fell, the cultivators present all looked at Shen Changqing at the end.

At this time.

They finally understood why, for this holy hall meeting, the Python Emperor had invited him here.

If anyone in the Purple Cloud Holy Land is considered the strongest below the Divine King Realm, it would have to be the Holy Son of Divine Wind.

Not just in the Purple Cloud Holy Land.

Even across the entire Ziyun Clan, there is no Divine Realm Cultivator who can compare to him.

A few days ago.

The scene of him crushing the Holy Sons of various peaks on the Holy Battle Platform is still vivid in memory.

Many Divine Kings present have no certainty of suppressing him.

Though he is not a Divine King, he surpasses an average Divine King.

If the Divine Mandate Platform opens again, he likely has a chance to leave his name on the Investiture of the Gods.

"Thus, I plan to let the Purple Cloud Holy lead the delegation to represent our Ziyun Clan and seize the ownership of that realm."

The Python Emperor spoke slowly.

These words confirmed the conjectures in the minds of other cultivators.

As the words fell.

Shen Changqing immediately rose, cupped his fists, and said: "It is my duty to contribute to my clan, and I am determined to seize the ownership of the realm!"

"Very good!"

The Python Emperor nodded in satisfaction.

"You are already a Peerless Proud Heaven, even facing a Divine King, you are unafraid; even if other clans have their Proud Heaven, they will surely not be your opponents.

I can also promise that if a vessel is birthed in that realm, that vessel will belong to you."

Upon hearing this.

Many Peak Masters had gleaming eyes.

Vessel!

That is crucial for a Proof Path Divine King.

Any peak that can seize an extra vessel means another potential Divine King in the future, strengthening their own power.

However.

They also understand that they, as Peak Masters, have absolutely no ability to oppose this decision.

Across the Purple Cloud Holy Land, and indeed the entire clan, no one is more qualified than him to obtain the vessel.

The Python Emperor’s approach, although displeasing to them, is logical and reasonable.

"Thank you, Python Emperor!"

Shen Changqing showed a smile.

The Python Emperor said: "Three days hence, you shall officially proceed to that newborn realm, prepare yourself well!"

...

Leaving the Holy Hall, Shen Changqing returned to the Divine Peak.

This holy hall meeting.

For him, it was likened to receiving good news.

The newborn realm.

Often represents limitless possibilities.

If he can indeed acquire the vessel, or the Chaos Stele from there, the benefits are self-evident.

Additionally.

There is another most important point.

That he represents the Ziyun Clan in fighting for ownership, thus providing a rightful reason to slay other clan cultivators and subsequently harvest Origin Points.

Quite simply put.

The Ziyun Clan dispatching him as the leader means Shen Changqing does not believe other races will not send their Proud Heaven.

Proud Heaven!

Clearly, they cannot be without enlightenment of the Power of Law.

Such cultivators, each equivalent to a walking Origin Point.

Furthermore.

If those Proud Heaven were all buried within the realm, the powers behind those Proud Heaven would probably wish to skin and dismember the Ziyun Clan.

Thus.

He can indirectly incite conflicts among multiple races, truly killing two birds with one stone.

Three days passed quickly.

Returning to the Holy Hall once more, Shen Changqing found many cultivators already present.

Among them.

The most familiar to him were the few Holy Sons who survived the Holy Battle Platform, or rather, they should be called Substitute Holy Sons now.

Similarly.

Upon Shen Changqing’s arrival, those Substitute Holy Sons’ faces instinctively whitened.

"It’s him!"

Zi Yunfang’s heart trembled slightly.

Spotting Shen Changqing, he recalled the scene from the Holy Battle Platform.

The exalted Holy Son being ruthlessly slaughtered like an ant, with no chance to resist.

Therefore.

Seeing Shen Changqing at that moment, Zi Yunfang had an impulse to turn and leave.

However, his dwindling rationality reminded him this was not the Holy Battle Platform, and he wouldn’t be attacked.

Regarding Zi Yunfang and the Substitute Holy Sons’ dread, Shen Changqing paid no attention, merely scanning the others briefly, then looking at the Python Emperor at the center.

"This disciple greets the Python Emperor!"

"You’re here!"

The Python Emperor nodded.

"This time, you will lead the group, heading to that newborn realm to compete for ownership, with all cultivators in the team under your command. You hold absolute authority, and if any dare defy, they may be cut down before reporting back."

His words were spoken calmly, yet they contained a chilling coldness.

These words might not mean much to Shen Changqing, but to the cultivators like Zi Yunfang, they couldn’t help but tremble.

Thus.

The person possessed absolute power over life and death.

Recalling the brutal scene on the Holy Battle Platform, many cultivators’ hearts trembled again.

However.

Despite their unwillingness, they dared not voice any opposition.

The words of an Emperor from a prominent clan could not be opposed by mere Divine Realm individuals. If one could reach the Proof Path Divine King Realm, then they might have some say, but right now, opposing would be akin to seeking death.

Shen Changqing’s expression was calm: "The disciples obey."

Soon afterward.

The Python Emperor flipped his hand, and a palm-sized vessel quietly appeared there.

"This is a Dao Arm refined by my clan. Although it doesn’t reach the Seventh Grade, in terms of speed, it is not inferior to ordinary Seventh Grade Dao Arms. I will entrust it to you today!"

With that.

He erased his own imprint left on the Dao Arms, then handed it over to Shen Changqing.

"Thank you, Python Emperor!"

Shen Changqing received the Dao Arms and inscribed his own imprint on it.

Immediately.

Information about the Dao Arms appeared in his mind.

"Sixth Grade Dao Arms!"

"Skycraft!"

Upon hearing this name, he couldn’t help but twitch his lips slightly.

"I’ve heard that the Zhongshan Clan possesses the Eight Rank Dao Arms, the Imperial Heaven Vessel, and I wonder whether this Dao Arms is related to the rumored Imperial Heaven Vessel?"

Shen Changqing voiced his internal doubt.

The name of the Imperial Heaven Vessel is well-known, even in the memories of Ziyan Sheng.

Thus, asking this question wouldn’t cause any unnecessary suspicion.

The Python Emperor said, "Skycraft is a supreme treasure modeled after the Imperial Heaven Vessel. Unfortunately, this Dao Arms failed to ascend to the Seventh Grade, or else it might have surpassed the Imperial Heaven Vessel in the future."

Dao Arms’ advancement is not easy.

Promoting Dao Arms to the Seventh Grade is no simple matter.

The Skycraft has been nurtured until now, but merely remains at the Sixth Grade Dao Arms level.

Upon hearing this.

Shen Changqing silently thought, "As expected."

When he first saw the Skycraft, he already felt a sense of familiarity from its design. Upon learning its name, that sense of familiarity grew even stronger.

Now, the words from the Python Emperor confirmed his speculation.

So-called Skycraft.

Indeed, it was a Dao Arm modeled after the Imperial Heaven Vessel.

Other cultivators witnessing this also revealed looks of envy.

Sixth Grade Dao Arms!

To them, it was a precious supreme treasure.

Especially since Skycraft’s speed could rival Seventh Grade Dao Arms, making it even more extraordinarily valuable.

Having this Dao Arms effectively meant having an extra life, in some sense.

"Enough. I, the Emperor, will ensure your victory here, securing the Heaven and Earth domain for our clan!"

The Python Emperor said solemnly.

Shen Changqing and the other cultivators immediately bowed: "We understand!"

...

Leaving the Holy Hall.

Shen Changqing directly cast out the Skycraft; the palm-sized long vessel instantly expanded to be a hundred yards long, hovering in the void.

"Don’t waste time, everyone board!"

He said lightly, then ascended into the sky, landing on the Skycraft.

The remaining cultivators exchanged glances, not daring to hesitate, and boarded it simultaneously.

Seeing this.

Shen Changqing formed a seal technique, and the Skycraft instantly transformed into a beam of light, swiftly heading towards the horizon.

Before long.

The long vessel passed through the barrier between Heaven and Earth, directly entering the Heavens Void.

Aboard the long vessel.

All cultivators fell into silence, with no one speaking; however, when they occasionally looked at Shen Changqing’s back, reverence appeared in their eyes.

Some cultivators wanted to approach him and establish a closer relationship.

But recalling Shen Changqing’s ruthless methods, the thought barely arose before being utterly dismissed.

Meanwhile.

Shen Changqing ignored the thoughts of others.

In his view, the people sent by the Purple Cloud Holy Land were utterly useless; he alone could easily handle all other Divine Realm opponents from various clans.

In this aspect.

Shen Changqing remained confident.

Among the Divine Realm, cultivators could hardly pose a threat to him.

Even if such Peerless Proud Heaven existed, it wouldn’t be within a mere clan.

To confront the Ziyun Clan and not provoke the Python Emperor, no other force aside from fellow clan powers could possibly exist.

With this thought.

He took out the jade stone given by the Python Emperor before departing.

This piece of jade stone contained information about the other forces involved in the competition this time.

When Shen Changqing used his Divine Sense to touch the jade stone, corresponding information quickly surfaced.

Despite the abundance of information.

It didn’t disturb his Divine Soul in the slightest.

Within two breaths, Shen Changqing completely absorbed all the information contained in the jade stone.

From the jade stone, he learned that a total of six clans participated in the competition.

Excluding the Ziyun Clan, only five clans remained.

"Let me see how many powerful figures the five clans can bring forth!" Shen Changqing squinted his eyes slightly, exerting some force with his palm, and directly crushed the jade stone into powder.
