BXBX NOVEL Chapter 409 - 382: Star Zhou Launch
Soon, Zhan Ling returned to the Hidden Spirit Sect.
“Great Master, are you sure you want to go to the Vast Void Domain?” Zhan Ling asked excitedly.
“What’s wrong? Is there any problem?” Xu Fan replied.
“Nothing’s wrong, but right now, the Vast Void Domain is a major battlefield between the two races. What if we encounter a large demon clan army … ” Zhan Ling said with some concern.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already taken that into consideration.” Xu Fan said, pointing to the outermost ring of dark cabins surrounding the enormous Star Boat.
“Inside are twelve Dao Artifact level invisible reconnaissance ships, enough to anticipate the enemy’s moves.”
Xu Fan then led Zhan Ling to the tail of the Star Boat and pointed to a row of huge propulsion tubes behind it: “I can’t explain what this is for in case something goes wrong, but it can make the Star Boat several times faster than before.”
“Several times faster? Is it that amazing?” Zhan Ling muttered, having never built a Star Boat before with a speed that would absolutely surpass the Esteemed One’s escape speed. He could not imagine what it would feel like to be several times faster.
“Pu Tao, show off the bombardment mode.”
Suddenly, the entire upper layer of the Star Boat began to transform, and an extremely majestic and awe-inspiring cannon appeared, with two auxiliary cannons corresponding to each other on either side.
“This huge cannon isn’t just for show, right?” Zhan Ling said in astonishment.
“Of course not, I’ll show it to you once we enter the Vast Void Domain and encounter the demon clan warships.” Xu Fan smiled.
“When do we set off, Great Master?” Zhan Ling asked, knowing that the powerful Great Master would not usually venture out easily.
“I’ll go with you.”
“Really? Maybe Pu Tao should go with me instead.” Zhan Ling suggested.
“It’s fine. This time, I mainly want to show you the power of our Hidden Spirit Sect’s Star Boat. I won’t go next time.” Xu Fan said. A newly repaired Star Boat, if given directly to Zhan Ling alone, would certainly make him hesitant, which would be detrimental to future development opportunities.
“Alright then.” Zhan Ling nodded, feeling a little more at ease. As the main maintenance staff, he worried about what would happen if there were any issues with the Star Boat in the Vast Void Domain.
“The Star Boat is still undergoing its final tests, we will depart in three months. Elder Zhan Ling, you can start preparing.” Xu Fan said.
“Alright, I’ll take a break for these three months.”
In Xu Fan’s small courtyard, Wang Yulun and his sons, Li Xingci, Xu Gang, and Xu Yuexian gathered together.
“Yu Lun, Eldest Brother, Old Three, Old Four, follow me to the Vast Void Domain to take a look.”
“Star Ci will take Elder Ran Tian and Chu Fan with him. I want to conduct an experiment there to see if Chu Fan’s innate talent can be repaired.” Xu Fan said.
“Master, what about me?” Xu Yuexian asked excitedly, her immediately becoming restless upon learning that the Star Boat had been repaired and wondering when she could finally ride the Star Boat and let loose.
“You stay at home and guard it well, Pu Tao will assist you in managing the entire Hidden Spirit Sect.” Xu Fan replied.
“Master, let me go this time, please.” Xu Yuexian pleaded pitifully.
“Finish what you promised me first.” Xu Fan didn’t give Xu Yuexian a single chance. As long as the Power of Causality was still lingering around Xu Yuexian, Xu Fan would not let her go.
“Alright then.” Xu Yuexian reluctantly agreed.
“After we return, I’ll create an Illusion of this Vast Void Domain trip for you to immerse yourself in and experience.” Xu Fan said.
“Thank you, Master.” Xu Yuexian’s depressed mood finally improved a little.
Now, the entire Hidden Spirit Sect began a sign-up event to go to the Vast Void Domain.
At the same time, in the virtual game, a group of Tianjue Masters was also selected to participate in the experiment on the starship.
In the virtual game, the middle-aged butcher looked at the information sent to him in the game.
“A trip with the starship’s Tianjue Masters offers a reward of 100,000 Spirit Stones.” The middle-aged butcher said, drooling over this mission.
After two years of hard work, the middle-aged butcher had bought his beloved series of Puppet Swordsmen, starting his Puppet servant life. Recently, he had set his sights on a Fourth-order Magic Treasure Beast Blood Saber, which was just the right price at 100,000 Spirit Stones.
“I must sign up. After that, I can buy the Beast Blood Saber, and I can start saving up Spirit Stones more quickly for my son Tiger.” The middle-aged butcher said, fantasizing about the scene of himself wielding the Beast Blood Saber and gaining even more admiration from his son.
Two months later, a puppet brought several repaired Dao Tools to Ning Dao’s hands.
Above the outermost Steel Great Wall, a Mahayana Venerable looked at the Soul-Devouring Spirit Sword and Thunder Suppression Orb in his hand with satisfaction.
“Please pass my thanks to the Grandmaster. Not only have these two Dao Tools been repaired, but their power has even been strengthened.” The Spirit Cultivation Venerable said to Ning Dao.
“I’ll make sure to pass your message along.” Ning Dao said with a smile, his heart also filled with excitement.
Because the Dao Artifact Spiritual Sword he had been longing for had finally arrived in his hands along with these Dao Tools.
They were even two matching Dao Artifact Spiritual Swords that perfectly synced with his dual sword style. If it hadn’t been for the daily troubles in Linsen Immortal City, he would’ve gone straight to find the Demon Clan to test the swords.
On the other side of the Steel Great Wall, the Tiger Howl Venerable had the same reaction, even directly rushing into a gathering place of the Demon Clan to test the power of the Dao Tools.
Within the Hidden Spirit Sect, Xu Fan brought everyone onto the Starship.
There were groups of people from the Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples, Tianjue Masters in the game, and even more mining Tianjue Masters who had completed their training in the game.
“Everyone is in place, we can start the starship.” Pu Tao said.
“Launch the starship, target the Vast Void Domain.” Xu Fan said, staring at the sky, his eyes filled with an indescribable brilliance.
As the huge starship shivered slightly, it flew into the sky like a feather, getting faster and faster.
A streamlined protective shield enveloped the starship, and its increasing speed made the scenery outside the starship become more and more blurred.
At this time, Zhan Ling appeared next to Xu Fan.
“Elder, is it possible to increase the speed of the starship now?” Zhan Ling had been thinking about the propellers behind the starship.
“Let me show you the ultimate speed of this starship.” Xu Fan said with a smile, for this starship was designed for speed.
“Pu Tao, activate the propellers at ninety percent power.” Xu Fan said.
“Please hold onto a fixed object nearby for all personnel on the starship. The starship is about to enter acceleration mode.” A voice rang out aboard the starship.
As soon as the words were spoken, an engine acceleration sound began, its frequency getting faster and faster, as did the speed of the starship.
Red flames spurted from the propellers behind the starship, with the flames getting longer as the thrust increased.
On the deck of the starship, Zhan Ling involuntarily gripped the railing.
“Elder Zhan Ling, are you satisfied with this speed? I dare say that among the entire Immortal World, our Hidden Spirit Sect’s starship is among the fastest!”
“It’s a pity that space has been sealed, otherwise the starship could directly jump forward, and we could reach the Vast Void Domain in just a few jumps.” Xu Fan lamented.
“The starship you modified is already amazing.” Zhan Ling exclaimed.
“No, this is just an experimental starship. In the future, when I build a starship myself, Elder Zhan Ling will know what true power is.”
