Chapter 318: External spiritual weapons

Su Yun was surprised and looked in the direction Yu Shuangyun was looking, only to see some attractive ladies, but no one worth noting.

Among those ladies, there was a woman with a beautiful appearance, attracting attention. Su Yun couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Yu Qingluo came to his side and followed his gaze, also seeing the woman. She whispered, "Is Lord Su enjoying the beautiful scenery?"

Su Yun withdrew his gaze and smiled at Yu Qingluo, "The beauty is captivating."

He was awakened by Ying Ying and realized that his admiration for the girl was merely lust. He no longer felt anxious and could face Yu Shuangyun, Yu Qingluo, and others calmly.

Lust is just a part of human nature, there is no need to be ashamed of it.

Feelings arise, but should be restrained by etiquette, that's all.

Even if he was lustful, it was just appreciating the beauty of the opposite sex, so what's wrong with that? Therefore, he could face it calmly.

"Lord Su, something seems off about the situation this time."

Yu Qingluo whispered, "I have been to most of the academies in Jian Ge to study new knowledge, and I know most of the teachers. But this time, it seems that there are more than just people from Jian Ge."

Su Yun's heart trembled, and Yu Qingluo also realized it, indicating that this trip to Ying Huo might not be so simple. Could someone really be planning to deal with him?

"This trip to Ying Huo is a big deal, and the court attaches great importance to it."

Yue Liuxi walked over and smiled at Su Yun, "In addition to the court, envoys from Da Xia and Da Wan will also board the celestial ship to Ying Huo. Jian Ge built the celestial ship, and they also contributed. I am also going to Ying Huo this time, Lord Su, you don't have to worry."

Su Yun suddenly understood, "I see."

Yu Qingluo bowed to Yue Liuxi and said to Su Yun, "Lord Yue, this is our Fire Cloud Cave Master, Yu Qingluo."

Upon hearing this, Yue Liuxi couldn't help but show respect and quickly returned the gesture, respectfully saying, "So you are the Cave Master of Fire Cloud Cave. I have heard of the name of Fire Cloud Cave, which contains the books of the saints throughout the generations. I have long admired it and regret not being able to visit."

Yu Qingluo smiled, "I dare not accept the great gift of the Saint of Jian Ge. As a student studying in Jian Ge, I hope that the Lord will provide convenience."

"No need."

The three of them boarded the celestial ship and saw that the external structure of the ship was similar to a sailboat, but more complex, with hundreds of sails. Some scholars climbed onto the sails and were adjusting them.

Su Yun thought to himself, "This celestial ship is somewhat similar to the one I saw from Mr. Qiu Shuijing..."

Yue Liuxi led them to tour the celestial ship and said, "In the early years, Zushi, Shizu, and Shuijing measured and calculated the celestial cable together. They had an idea to release spiritual weapons into the celestial cable. Spiritual weapons do not require any cultivation or mana and can always float in the celestial cable. Later, we conducted experiments and found many scholars to activate their mana together to send a flying sword into the celestial cable, verifying our idea. After Shuijing left, Jian Ge's exploration of the outside world has never stopped."

Su Yun followed him and saw that the skin of the celestial ship was made of dragon scales, allowing for high-speed flight with minimal resistance.

"In the past, scholars designed and manufactured spiritual weapons for the celestial cable. Every year, scholars would send spiritual weapons to the celestial cable for various research purposes."

Yue Liuxi said, "But it is very difficult for people to fly to the celestial cable. The human body is not as good as spiritual weapons or even spiritual artifacts. In the high altitude, they cannot breathe. The physical body is too fragile, even saints cannot go to the sky. Therefore, only spirits can go. However, there are rays in the high altitude that can kill spirits. Those who can send spirits to the high altitude are often extremely powerful, and such people are rare. Moreover, spirits cannot leave their physical bodies for too long."

Yu Qingluo said, "So Jian Ge built this celestial ship, a spiritual weapon, to send people to the sky?"

Yue Liuxi smiled, "If it weren't for the rapid progress of the new knowledge in recent years, Jian Ge would not have been able to send people to the sky. The new knowledge of observing and imitating gods and demons, the dragon scales on the skin of the celestial ship, the phoenix wings naturally born, and the ship's body constructed with the belly of a demon. This celestial ship was designed and built by scholars!"

His words were full of pride.

Su Yun and Yu Qingluo glanced at each other, feeling a little melancholy. Even the highest academy like Tian Dao Yuan in Yuan Shuo did not have scholars researching in this area.

Da Qin had many things that Yuan Shuo could learn from.

This celestial ship was even larger than the ship Qiu Shuijing had, requiring many scholars to operate it together to make it fly.

On the ship, scholars were coming and going, some were adjusting the sails, some were checking the stored spiritual energy, and some were floating outside the ship, inspecting each piece of dragon scale for flaws.

This was an incredibly complex spiritual weapon, surpassing any spiritual weapon ever refined in history!

Su Yun stood at the side of the ship and looked out. He saw that the phoenix wings on the ship's body had slowly spread open. The phoenix wings were made using extremely complex refining methods, and each feather was forged with incredible precision, with fluff and small branches!

More than a dozen scholars grew wings behind them and flew around the phoenix wings of the celestial ship, inspecting their condition.

Yu Qingluo waved at Su Yun, and he quickly walked over. Yue Liuxi walked in front, leading them to the cabin, saying, "Zushi and some people in the court mean that if the celestial ship test is successful, it will be transformed into a weapon to attack enemy countries."

Su Yun's heart trembled.

"After Shuijing left Jian Ge, the research on the celestial cable and the spiritual weapons outside the sky has been ongoing. The voice for the spiritual weapons outside the sky has been growing louder since the old emperor died and a new emperor took over."

Yue Liuxi walked through the cabin, and behind each door of the cabin was a spiritual realm. Yue Liuxi pushed open a door and looked inside. Behind the door was a spiritual realm with a radius of more than ten miles. The edge of the spiritual realm was a huge rib-like structure that supported the spiritual realm.

"These spiritual realms are built with the spiritual realms of the deceased Zhen Sheng experts." Ying Ying whispered to Su Yun.

Su Yun asked solemnly, "How many Zhen Sheng experts had to die for this?"

He suddenly realized, "In recent years, Da Qin has been at war everywhere, and I'm afraid they have killed many Zhen Sheng experts of the empire and used their spiritual realms to refine treasures."

Yue Liuxi closed the door and continued walking down, saying, "With a skyship like this, it can carry thousands of soldiers and travel tens of thousands of miles in half an hour, hundreds of thousands of miles in a day! Depart from the capital of Da Qin in the morning, and by sunset, you can cross the ocean and arrive at the capital of Yuan Shuo!"

They got off the ship and came to the bottom of the ship. Su Yun looked up and saw the huge dragon bones shining brightly.

The scholars of Jian Ge replaced the Qing Hong Jin with new materials and forged a dragon bone that was more than two hundred feet long from head to tail, using the dragon bones as ribs to construct the ship's space!

Many scholars were flying on the ribs, using their elemental energy to activate the runes on the dragon bones and check for any omissions.

This scene made Su Yun and Yu Qingluo feel shocked!

"A skyship can carry countless spiritual weapons and attack from the sky without any effort. Just a light throw, and the spiritual weapons will descend from the sky, with the power to destroy a small town. The spiritual weapons on a ship can destroy a country."

Yue Liuxi's face darkened and said, "But I can't stop the Ancestral Stone and the court from turning the skyship into an external spiritual weapon. I don't want to see our original plan become a weapon of slaughter for the world. If other countries also have such external spiritual weapons, it can avoid being slaughtered."

He glanced at Su Yun.

Su Yun immediately understood his meaning. The reason why Yue Liuxi said so much was to let Yuan Shuo quickly create such spiritual weapons to deal with the threat from Da Qin.

However...

He thought of Di Ping and couldn't help but shake his head. Di Ping would not gather scholars from all over the world to forge such spiritual weapons. Di Ping was only interested in power. If he was willing to create such spiritual weapons, Qiu Shuijing would have already forged them for him!

After the scholars of Jian Ge finished their inspection, Su Yun and the others also walked towards the deck. The skyship was about to set sail.

On the deck, the miscellaneous people had already stepped back, and those who boarded the ship were scholars responsible for maintaining the operation of the skyship and the personnel on this expedition to explore the fragments of the Luminary.

Hundreds of scholars simultaneously mobilized their true essence and activated the runes on various parts of the skyship. The runes on the ship's body slowly lit up.

The skyship trembled slightly, and one phoenix wing after another slowly opened, vibrating unhurriedly.

Underneath the skyship, more than a hundred experts in the Tian Xiang realm simultaneously activated their spiritual spirits, pushing the skyship into the sky and assisting it in ascending.

The phoenix wings grew larger and stirred up hurricanes. The skyship gradually broke free from the spiritual spirits of those experts in the Tian Xiang realm and turned in the air, gradually increasing its speed, heading towards the continents formed by the shattered stars in the sky!

In the meantime, cheers from the scholars in Jian Ge resounded through the air, deafening, even reaching the ears of everyone on the deck of the skyship!

The cheers stirred up Su Yun's blood, and he couldn't help but feel excited. He turned to Yu Qingluo and asked, "Lord Yu Qingluo, can you and the other scholars of the Tian Dao Academy also create such spiritual weapons?" historical

Yu Qingluo's heart also trembled, steadying herself against the ship's rail.

She saw that the speed of the skyship was getting faster and faster. Soon, everyone on the ship felt intense vibrations, but they couldn't hear the sound of the vibrations. They could only see a circular air ring behind the skyship getting bigger and gradually dissipating.

The sky distorted under the vibrating phoenix wings, and every time the wings moved, the fire clouds under the wings exploded, and thunder rolled under the wings of the skyship, causing an indescribable shock.

The sound was left behind by the skyship, and the skyship was still accelerating madly, five times, six times, ten times, twenty times. In the end, after the phoenix wings were pushed to the extreme, they even reached a speed thirty times faster than sound!

"The course for forging external spiritual weapons in Jian Ge does not prohibit scholars from Yuan Shuo from learning." Yu Qingluo steadied her mind and said, "Although the twenty or so scholars among us cannot do it, we can design it and hand it over to the spiritual masters in various manufacturing factories in Yuan Shuo to refine and forge. If the accuracy is sufficient, we should be able to create a skyship. It's just that we don't have so much money."

Su Yun decisively said, "I have!"

Yu Qingluo hesitated for a moment and shook her head, saying, "Even if we can create it, we don't have so many experts to make the skyship take off."

"I have!"

Su Yun pursed his lips and said, "The Lord of Tongtian Pavilion has such experts under his command!"

Yu Qingluo fell silent for a moment and said, "The Tongtian Pavilion is not the Yuan Shuo court. If you create it to protect Yuan Shuo, the court will be the first to eliminate you."

Su Yun's face turned pale, and Yu Qingluo continued, "Unless you become the court."

The girl glanced at Su Yun, and she saw Su Yun's pale face gradually regain its rosy color, but his gaze became even deeper.

The skyship ascended higher and higher, suddenly leaping out of the water, reducing resistance. Everyone on the ship looked down and saw the world they were in like a sphere, blue in color, and outside this sphere, the atmosphere was like water, enveloping this planet.

"Fold the wings! Set sail!" a scholar shouted loudly.

The phoenix wings of the skyship slowly folded, and the ship's body raised one flag after another, gathering the essence of the sun to provide power for the skyship and activate the runes on the skyship.

Only then did they see this large ship, which was more than two hundred feet long from head to tail, with constantly changing runes all over it, carrying everyone on board towards the shattered stars in the sky.On the massive fragment of the Luminous Star, white clouds lingered, and the landscape was picturesque. It became clearer and clearer, and from afar, a grand cluster of buildings could be seen.

Ying Ying excitedly said, "Are there inhabitants on the Luminous Star?"

At that moment, another ship from the heavens approached. The banners on the ship were tattered, and the hull was twisted.

As the two ships passed each other, the people on the heavenly ship stared blankly at this bizarre scene, wondering where this ship had come from.

"Mr. Shuijing's co-heavenly ship was destroyed and lost control during the battle with Di Ping!"

Su Yun gazed into the distance, thinking to himself, "If Mr. Shuijing could refine such a spiritual weapon, then my Tongtian Pavilion can naturally do the same! However, before that, I must become the true master of the Tongtian Pavilion! Little Saint Emperor of Da Qin, I look forward to our battle coming sooner!"
