Chapter 2528: Chapter 1137: Sixth-Tier Treasure Ship (Part 2)

“Zhang Tai’an led the remaining dozens of disciples, waiting for the passage of time here, ultimately passing away one by one. As he was a Nascent Soul Cultivator, he was the last one left, deciding to return to the Eastern Emperor Court to seek an explanation…”

The diary ends here.

Chen Mobai and the others looked toward the Yellow Dragon Treasure Ship, suspended in the air. It was once the pride of the Imperial Court, but now it was dilapidated, the bow seemingly completely shattered, with visible traces of metal material patches, some seams even not entirely fused.

The three pieces of wreckage seemed like the broken spine of the Yellow Dragon, and the sound of the wind blowing over the lake made the golden treasure ship shimmer faintly with dim Spiritual Light.

“Here is a complete set of the treasure ship’s blueprints left by Zhang Tai’an.”

Guided by the clues in the diary, Shenxi found a sealed box in a wooden house at the dock, which Chen Mobai opened using Primordial True Qi, revealing an array of densely packed Jade Slips.

Among the thousands of Jade Slips, not only were the Sixth Rank Yellow Dragon Treasure Ship’s blueprints recorded, but also blueprints of Rank-1 to Rank-5 in various styles.

This border place, Wandering Mountain, was originally one of the core treasure ship foundries of the Eastern Emperor Court, which is why it had these most essential blueprints, even more complete than the collections of the Dao Morale Sect and the Nine Heavens Morality Sect.

But what disappointed them was that the Six Dragon Treasure Ship blueprints only included the Yellow Dragon.

“It’s a pity that the chance to repair this Yellow Dragon Treasure Ship requires a vast amount of resources; some key parts even need Sixth Rank Spirit Material…”

Ni Yuanzhong looked at the blueprints with regret.

The materials needed to manufacture a treasure ship, when attempted by an Artifact Refiner, could refine dozens of Sixth Rank Magic Artifacts, only being extravagant back in the Eastern Emperor Court era.

“The treasure ship’s core Power Furnace has indeed been dismantled!” At the same time, Shenxi compared the blueprints, using Divine Sense to inspect the core of the Yellow Dragon Treasure Ship, and sighed.

The treasure ship’s most precious part was the Power Furnace, even given the complete set of blueprints now, it couldn’t be manufactured.

Because the Power Furnace is equivalent to a Sixth Rank Magic Artifact and even more complex, only a Sixth Rank Artifact Refiner could refine it.

The Eastern Emperor Court’s Six Dragon Treasure Ship brought together the best Artifact Refiners from the Five Continents and Four Seas, several Sixth Rank Artifact Refiners, and dozens of Fifth Rank Artifact Refiners working jointly to create it.

At its peak, the Eastern Emperor Court only had six Sixth Rank treasure ships because only six Sixth Rank Power Furnaces were successfully refined.

If this was still in place, Shenxi was even prepared to call in Dustless True Monarch to ensure it was in hand, whatever the cost.

Without the Power Furnace, for these Deity Transformation True Monarchs, the most precious thing was that box of Jade Slips.

“How should we handle this?”

However, Chen Mobai didn’t notice Shenxi and others’ thoughts. He pointed to the three pieces of the Yellow Dragon Treasure Ship hung on the crane, and after getting the blueprints and knowing its materials, he decided he would occupy one of them, even if he had to lose face.

Although given the current situation in the Eastern Continent, this treasure ship certainly couldn’t be repaired, these wreckages were at least Fifth Rank Spirit Material, with some even being Sixth Rank.

The Primordial Clock can melt the Five Elements Essence, and it’s just short of materials to upgrade to Sixth Rank Superior Grade, which these can largely fulfill.

The only thing that made Chen Mobai regret was that after thousands of years, the spiritual nature of these materials had completely dissipated; otherwise, he would surely have dismantled it to refine Magic Artifacts, providing each Nascent Soul Cultivator of the Five Elements Sect with a set of Fifth Rank.

“Since this Wandering Mountain is Chen Mobai’s territory, these things naturally also belong to the Five Elements Sect.”

Shenxi smiled as he said this.

Ni Yuanzhong was slightly taken aback but did not object, directly nodding in agreement.

The treasure ships left here were all junk, and anything usable had long been taken back to the East Land by the Xuan Guang Monarch.

Even some Rank-3 and Rank-4 treasure ships could be repaired, but they are unworthy in the eyes of these Eastern Continent Holy Lands.

And the Fifth Rank junk treasure ships, all the good Power Furnaces were dismantled, leaving behind only scraps that require major repairs.

Even if they had the blueprints in hand now, they didn’t have the appropriate repair talents.

This requires at least a Fifth Rank Artifact Refiner to lead, yet both the Nine Heavens Morality Sect and Dao Morale Sect’s Fifth Rank Artifact Refiners were specialized, having only a rudimentary understanding of treasure ships.

It’s unknown how long they would take to master the blueprints.

Better to give a favor to Chen Mobai.

Da Kong True Monarch was a bit hesitant, as even a Sixth Rank treasure ship’s wreckage had research value for Taixu MiaoMiao Palace, but with Shenxi and the others agreeing, he nodded in accord.

“I want to copy and take a set of these over three thousand Jade Slips back to headquarters.”

Da Kong True Monarch made this request.

“No problem, but the text on the Jade Slips is recorded in ancient script; I can take them back to the sect, translate them, and then send you a copy,”

Shenxi spoke up, wanting the box of original treasure ship blueprints. Considering the Dao Morale Sect has two deity transformations, everyone present had no objections.

Of course, Chen Mobai and the other two were also free to make copies of the originals.

“With Chen Mobai as the Eastern Continent’s foremost Artifact Refiner, with these blueprints and Jade Slips, it’s possible he could restore some Fifth Rank treasure ships, offering the hope of future guidance for us.”

On the way out, Shenxi made this comment.

The main reason for this favor was Shenxi thought that throughout the Eastern Continent, only Chen Mobai, the Fifth Rank Artifact Refiner, had the potential to master these blueprints.

The current stalemate with the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court is a critical period for the Five Elements Sect; enhancing their combat power with this is a great boon.

Leaving Wandering Mountain’s border dock and wrecked treasure ships here gives him the motivation to study them.

“This is the common property of our Eastern Continent Holy Lands, and if I genuinely restore a Fifth Rank Power Furnace in the future, build a Fifth Rank treasure ship, I will not keep it to myself. I am willing to publicly teach fellow cultivators on the Eastern Continent’s Righteous Path.”

Chen Mobai solemnly declared, understanding from the blueprints that if a treasure ship fleet or even a Sixth Rank treasure ship were to be created, it couldn’t be accomplished by the Five Elements Sect alone. The entire Eastern Continent’s strength was needed.

The closed inheritance flaw of the Tianhe Realm could perhaps begin to open a small breach here, then spread to every trade.

“You are selfless, my respect grows.”

Da Kong True Monarch expressed his genuine admiration upon hearing Chen Mobai’s words.

Thinking he truly lived up to practicing the Saintly Virtue Great Dao, such thought and awareness were unprecedented in his thousand-year experience.

It seemed too dazzling.

Before departing, Shenxi and his companions dismantled a Fifth Rank junk treasure ship, placing its dormant, shattered Power Furnace into their storage bag, intending to take it back to the sect for the Artifact Refiners to study alongside the blueprints.

If the research leads nowhere, placing it in the treasury for inheritance would be good too.

Chen Mobai naturally felt reluctant. He hadn’t figured out how to repair it yet, but was confident Cheng Xuan and Yuan Xu would figure something out.

Nonetheless, since he had already received the greatest benefits, he chose to ignore Shenxi and the others’ actions.

“Sect Master Chen, we’ll leave this frontier battlefield in your hands. After returning, I will work swiftly to persuade the sect elders to send the Azure Blue Essence Crystal.”

Before leaving, Shenxi sought to reassure Chen Mobai, given the dire threat of the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court would soon be left for him to handle.

“While I’m here, that old flood dragon will never reach the shore!”

Chen Mobai was undaunted, committed to thwarting the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court at sea, if only to safeguard Wandering Mountain’s Sixth Rank Spirit Vein beneath his feet.
