Chapter 83: Defensive Sword Art
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
“Sir Deacon, the remaining six cultivators of the Mo family and this sneaky rogue cultivator have been captured. Please give us your instructions.”
On the deck of Gray Cloud.
An early-stage Foundation Building cultivator led a team of late-stage Qi Refining cultivators of the Zhou Clan and captured all the remaining heavily injured cultivators of the Mo Clan, including the unharmed black-robed itinerant cultivator.
“Take them back to the battleship first,” Zhou Mucheng glanced at them.
Then, he pointed at Mo Yuqing and said,” Take him back with you.”
“Yes, Lord Deacon!”
After saying that, the Foundation Building cultivator picked up Mo Yuqing, who was lying limply on the ground, and returned to the Spirit Void Battleship.
Seeing this.
Zhou Mucheng turned around and looked at Chen Daoxuan.”Nephew, would you like to come with me to the Mo Clan as a witness?”
Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan and Chen Xianhe looked at each other and cupped their hands. “”Then 1’11 have to trouble Uncle Zhou.”
” Haha, we won’t disturb you. Brother Chen, well leave first.”
Take care, Old Brother Zhou. Daoxuan, remember to listen to your Uncle Zhou’s instructions on this trip.”
“Yes, Thirteenth Uncle.”
Chen Daoxuan cupped his hands and flew up to the Spirit Void Battleship with Zhou Mucheng.
This was Chen Daoxuan’s second time seeing this behemoth.
However, compared to the first time he saw it, this time Chen Daoxuan was invited to board this battleship as a guest, so the feeling was naturally very different.
Chen Daoxuan and Zhou Mucheng were as small as two mayflies in front of the Spirit Void Battleship.
They entered the Spirit Void Battleship.
Chen Daoxuan felt as if he had entered an immortal’s grotto-heaven and was greatly shocked.
“This is…Spiritual energy?”
Chen Daoxuan looked at Zhou Mucheng in surprise.
“Yes!”
Zhou Mucheng smiled and nodded.” Every Spirit Void Battleship has a Spiritual Pivot Pond inside. This Spiritual Pivot Pond can provide power for the Spirit Void Battleship and also provide spiritual energy for the cultivators inside the Spirit Void Battleship to cultivate.
If you have to compare it, you can think of it as a moving spirit vein.”
“A movable spirit vein.”
The Chen family had just cultivated a grade-1 spirit vein not long ago. In his knowledge, spirit veins were built according to the terrain. How could they be moved?
However, the Spirit Void Battleship in front of him had clearly broken his imagination of the spirit vein.
Perhaps this so-called Spiritual Pivot Pond was roughly equivalent to the nuclear engine on the aircraft carrier in his previous life.
Chen Daoxuan, who didn’t know the principle, could only make this analogy.
Such large-scale war artifacts were the foundation of large forces. Ordinary small families and small forces could not even buy them, let alone refine and build them.
Zhou Mucheng continued to explain.” The Spirit Void Battleship of my Zhou Clan can carry 21 Foundation Establishment cultivators and 126 Qi Condensation cultivators. When controlled together, it can unleash the full power of a late-stage Zifu Disciple.”
Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan’s heart raced.
Immediately after.
As if he had thought of something, Chen Daoxuan cupped his hands and said, “”Uncle Zhou, in that case, doesn’t that mean that this Spirit Void Battleship is comparable to a Zifu Disciple?”
Hearing this, Zhou Mucheng could not help but laugh. He shook his head and said,”How can it be so simple? Although it can unleash the full power of a Zifu Disciple, it doesn’t have the agility of a Zifu Disciple.”
Zhou Mucheng paused.” Have you ever seen a puppet before?”
“A puppet? Uncle Zhou, are you talking about the Puppet Monsters produced by the Thousand Engineering Palace of the Celestial Cloud Continent?”
“Yes, that’s it,”
Zhou Mucheng nodded.” In the war against the Infinite Star Sea, the Profound Pure Dao League used a large number of puppet beasts sold by the Thousand Revolution Palace. If these puppet beasts could be compared to cultivators, the Infinite Star Sea would have been conquered by the Profound Pure Dao League long ago.
The principle of this Spirit Void Battleship was the same as the Puppet Monsters. Most of the attacks it launched could only attack in one direction in advance. Moreover, the stronger the attack, the more difficult it would be for it to change directions midway.
If the Voidspirit Battleship were to attack at full power, then there would be absolutely no way it would be able to change its attack midway. Let alone a Zifu Disciple, even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator would be able to easily dodge such an attack.”
Hearing this explanation, Chen Daoxuan finally had a preliminary impression of this Spirit Void Battleship.
“However, although the Spirit Void Battleship can’t be used against cultivators, it has a use.”
Zhou Mucheng smiled mysteriously.” You’ll see how it works later.”
Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan fell silent.
After a moment of silence, Zhou Mucheng continued,”Nephew, when I saw you fighting against the Mo Clan cultivators just now, 1 didn’t think you had cultivated any defensive techniques?”
” Dao Xuan is ashamed. My Chen Family’s strength is small and weak. The clan doesn’t have defensive Dharmic formulation inheritances and defensive mystic artifacts refinement methods.”
Zhou Mucheng nodded in understanding.
“Defensive spells and defensive magic tools are indeed much more precious than offensive methods.”
As he spoke, he took out a jade slip from his storage bag and handed it over.” This is a Tier 1 defensive sword art, Monolith Sword Art, that I exchanged for with my battle merits in the Yun Nation’s battlefield. I’ll give it to you.”
“Uncle Zhou, this…How can this be done?”
Chen Daoxuan was a little terrified.
“What’s wrong? Your uncle and nephew gave my son Zhou Siliang such a precious second rank Water Spirit Pearl, and 1 gave you a first rank defensive sword art, yet you want to reject it. Could it be that you’re looking down on your uncle Zhou?”
Zhou Mucheng chuckled.
“Dao Xuan doesn’t dare!”
Having said that, Chen Daoxuan naturally could not refuse.
However, he did not know why Zhou Mucheng’s attitude towards him had changed so much. It was as if he had become a completely different person.
Unless…
Chen Daoxuan had a vague guess in his heart, but he was not sure.
“What’s wrong?” Zhou Mucheng asked when he saw that he was silent.
Chen Daoxuan shook his head. He cupped his hands and said,” Daoxuan received this great kindness without any merit. I’m excited and a little afraid.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mucheng said meaningfully,”Since you and my son Zhou Siliang hit it off at first sight, I naturally treat you like my own nephew. It’s reasonable for an elder to give a gift to a nephew. There’s no need to be afraid.”
Chen Daoxuan exchanged glances with him and instantly understood what Zhou Mucheng meant. He cupped his hands and said,”Uncle Zhou, 1 will definitely be closer to Brother Zhou in the future.”
“Hahaha, good, good, good. Young people should be more intimate.”
Zhou Mucheng received Chen Daoxuan’s response and finally felt relieved. His painstaking efforts were nothing more than to find a good backer for his son Zhou Siliang in the future.
And Chen Daoxuan was the backer he had his eyes on.
As if to respond to Chen Daoxuan, Zhou Mucheng returned the favor.” From now on, the Guang ‘an Prefecture’s Itinerant Cultivator Magical Equipment Market will belong to your Chen family.”
Chen Daoxuan was overjoyed when he heard this powerful response. He said,”Thank you for your care, Uncle Zhou!”
“Since you’re already calling me Uncle Zhou, there’s no need for us to be so distant.”
“Yes, yes, yes. Uncle Zhou is right.”
The two of them looked at each other and laughed.
The two of them chatted.
The Spirit Void Battleship flew towards the Mo Clan’s Spirit Island.
Compared to the turtle speed of the Chen Family’s Azure Dragon, the speed of the spiritual warship was even faster than the light beams of the Building Foundation Stage cultivators.
Moreover, according to Zhou Mucheng, this was not the maximum speed of the Spirit Void Battleship.
If the Spirit Void Battleship flew at full speed, its speed would be comparable to that of a Zifu Disciple. It would take less than the time it takes an incense stick to burn to cover a distance of ten thousand kilometers. Its speed was simply even more ridiculous than the speed of the battle aircraft from his previous life..
