Chapter 406: Chapter 175: Mind If I Steal a Little Electricity?

Not only were the hundred thousand unofficial members of the Mortal Realm on the New Continent using hoes made of Earth Gold, but even the members of the Battle Pavilion had gotten a major upgrade.

"I forgot about this. Let’s give it a try."

"Yes!"

The Battle Pavilion member took a deep breath and hurled the Earth Gold Big Saber in his hand toward the Thunderstorm Sea Realm. The instant it entered the Sea Realm, a Thunderbolt shot from the dark clouds and slammed into the blade.

But...

This time, something different happened.

After being struck by the Thunderbolt, the Big Saber erupted in an intensely bright light, yet it did not shatter. Then, a shocking scene unfolded.

The Thunderstorm Sea Realm seemed to have been enraged.

Hundreds of Thunderbolts, amidst apocalyptic flashes and rumbles, shot out from the dark clouds, slamming into the Big Saber. Despite such a terrifying assault, the blade remained completely unharmed.

The Thunderbolts only ceased once the Big Saber fell from the air and plunged into the sea.

"..."

Chen Fan stared at the scene before him, momentarily stunned. He seemed to have found a material that could withstand the Thunderbolt attacks in the Thunderstorm Sea Realm: Earth Gold...

’Now I just need to see if Earth Gold can conduct energy.’

He pulled out a Sound Transmission Talisman and murmured into it.

"Zhao Shengping, get up. Time to work."

"Go to Wang Kui and get a batch of Earth Gold. I need you to weave it into a long... roughly 7-kilometer-long rope. The sooner, the better. Transport it to the New Continent via High-speed Rail."

...

「The night passed quickly.」

By dawn the next day, Chen Fan had received the 7-kilometer-long rope from the Mortal Realm. It was woven entirely from Earth Gold, which was a highly malleable material.

Theoretically, Earth Gold’s defensive properties weren’t considered particularly strong.

’After all, it isn’t a material famous for defense. It’s probably because Earth Gold just so happens to be immune to... the Thunderbolts in the Thunderstorm Sea Realm. Or maybe it absorbs them?’

Chen Fan, along with Wang Mazi and the others, once again took a Sea Ship to the island where they had erected a Celestial Pillar the day before.

This time, the trip was focused on the experiment.

They weren’t yet concerned with the final deployment.

He secured one end of the rope to the Celestial Pillar. Then, taking the other end, they began to approach the Thunderstorm Sea Realm. As the Sea Ship moved further away, the rope made of Earth Gold slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.

As they neared the Thunderstorm Sea Realm.

The Battle Pavilion member assigned to the task tied a stone to the end of the rope, took a deep breath, and heaved it toward the Thunderstorm Sea Realm.

The instant the other end of the rope entered the Thunderstorm Sea Realm.

A Thunderbolt struck as expected.

In that same instant, Chen Fan and the others steered the Sea Ship to quickly move out of the Earth Gold Rope’s range. The entire length of the rope, woven from Earth Gold, erupted in a blindingly intense light.

And at that very moment.

Chen Fan saw it.

He saw the top of the Celestial Pillar on the island also begin to glow with a white light.

That was...

A sign that it was storing energy.

But the light faded quickly. Once the end of the rope in the Thunderstorm Sea Realm plunged into the water, the Thunderbolts stopped striking.

But—

Chen Fan smiled.

It was a wide, joyous smile.

’He could already see it: a sky full of the Mortal Realm’s cruise missiles soaring wantonly over the Eternal Night Continent.’

Experiment complete.

Charging is possible.

...

Chen Fan returned to the island. He glanced at the charging progress on the Celestial Pillar’s panel, which had ticked up slightly, then looked over at the Battle Pavilion member busy pulling the Earth Gold Rope out of the sea and back onto land.

He pulled out a Sound Transmission Talisman.

"Lame Monkey, listen to my order. Find Hey Hey. Tell him this is the first mission for the Mortal Beast Pavilion. The Mortal Realm requires massive amounts of Earth Gold. Have him take his monkeys to the Deep Pit with all possible speed and begin large-scale mining."

"All mined Earth Gold is to be sent to the Mortal Realm."

"Zhao Shengping, your orders. Get your team of Artifact Refiners ready to work. I need an extremely long Earth Gold Rope—thousands of kilometers long."

"The New Continent will provide you with logistical support."

After issuing command after command, Chen Fan put away his Sound Transmission Talisman. He gazed at the vast, dark expanse of the Thunderstorm Sea Realm in the distance and laughed.

’You don’t mind if I steal a little power, do you?’

’Anyway, you seem to have plenty of power to spare. It’s not like you can use it all. Why not share a little with me? I could really use it.’

He was going to establish a Life Line between the Thunderstorm Sea Realm and the Mortal Realm—a Life Line to transmit the Thunderbolts, a Life Line to rapidly charge the Mortal Realm’s Celestial Pillars.

And this Life Line would not be an Undersea Tunnel.

It would run through the air.

He would construct an extremely long Illusory Copper Pipe in the sky. Inside the pipe, he would create a Max Level Suspended Basket to serve as a base, and on top of that base, he would lay the rope woven from Earth Gold.

The Life Line would then be complete.

And the rope, descending from the sky into the Thunderstorm Sea Realm, would be suspended in the air; it wouldn’t fall into the sea.

The experiment was complete. It was time to execute the plan.

...

The Mortal Realm’s ability to execute plans had always been terrifyingly efficient compared to other powers.

The Mortal Realm had no Elders.

Though it had Pavilion Masters, they generally didn’t interfere in core decisions. All major decisions for the Mortal Realm were issued by Chen Fan himself.

Every time Chen Fan gave an order.

Every single member of the Mortal Realm, from top to bottom, would begin bustling to carry it out. There was no need to ask for opinions, and no one interfered.

As command after command was sent down, the entire Mortal Realm sprang into action.

Though Zhao Shengping had no idea what the Domain Lord planned to do, it was not his place to worry. His mission was simply to craft this impossibly long rope.

Meanwhile.

Chen Fan had already returned to the Mortal Realm. He was now high in the sky aboard a Flying Ship, beginning to lay the Illusory Copper Pipe hundreds of meters above the ground.
