Chapter 1693 Refining the Immortal Gourd Realm

"After a century of hard work, it is finally taking shape." Zhang Xuan thought with emotion.

At this rate, with the combined power of the Immortal Gourd Realm, it may take another seven or eight hundred years to complete this eighth-order grand formation.

Just then, Bu Yueling came to report: "Husband, Wanbao Zhenren of the Myriad Elephant Merchant Alliance has sent a message saying that a new batch of Star Essence Gold collected from the Silent Star Abyss has arrived, and he is asking if we still need it?"

Zhang Xuan withdrew his gaze, his eyes unfathomable.

Star Essence Gold is the key material needed to forge large-scale inter-domain flying ships of the Xuan Tian Treasure level.

"Tell him to eat it all, and pay with our newly produced batch of seventh-grade Daoist Spirit Tea and seventh-grade Hundred-Refined Star Golden Pills," Zhang Xuan instructed.

"it is good."

Bu Yueling withdrew.

Zhang Xuan once again turned his gaze to Tianyezi's weapon-refining workshop.

“A hundred years have passed. My Immortal Gourd Realm has mastered all the arts and crafts. I entrusted you with the task of crafting a cross-domain flying boat of the Xuan Tian Treasure level, and you haven’t even come up with a single idea.” Zhang Xuan looked at Tian Yezi in front of him reproachfully.

Tianyezi immediately clasped his hands and said, "Ancestor, I do have an idea, but I dare not speak of it."

"But there's no harm in talking."

"By offering sacrifices to the entire Immortal Gourd Realm, this boat can be formed!"

"How dare you!" Zhang Xuan roared angrily, "I don't care if you research evil weapons, but now you actually want to sacrifice my Immortal Gourd Realm!"

Tianyezi bowed deeply, his voice carrying an almost martyr's resolve:

"Ancestor, please calm your anger! Please allow me to explain in detail. This 'sacrifice' is not that 'sacrifice'! It is not the evil path of slaughtering living beings and sacrificing souls, but rather... using the entire Immortal Gourd Realm as a furnace, its vast origin as firewood, its myriad laws as warp and weft, and the wishes of all living beings as spiritual guides, working with heaven and earth as craftsmen, and creating with my supreme forging technique!"

After listening, Zhang Xuan calmed down and said, "Continue."

"Mysterious Ancestor, how can ordinary materials bear the status of a Mysterious Heaven Treasure? Only the Immortal Gourd Realm itself, which shares the same origin as the Mysterious Ancestor's Great Dao, possesses a seventh-order spiritual vein and is blessed by a sapling of the World Tree, its foundation is unparalleled in the Dragon Spine! Refining it into a boat is not destruction, but rather allowing the Immortal Gourd Realm to bear the path of billions of living beings in my realm in another form!"

Tian Yezi's words struck Zhang Xuan's mind like a resounding bell.

Tianyezi proposed an unprecedented path, a high-stakes gamble!

To refine a seventh-order great world into an artifact!

If successful, the Immortal Gourd Realm will possess the ultimate fortress to dominate the battlefield of True Immortals and even preserve the flame of civilization.

Failure... may mean the destruction of the world and the death of people, with everything coming to nothing.

The silence felt as if millions of years had passed.

Finally, Zhang Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

At that moment, all hesitation and deliberation vanished from his eyes, leaving only determination and resolve.

"As you say!" Zhang Xuan's voice was majestic and calm. "The resources of the Immortal Gourd Realm are yours to use! The billions of living beings within the realm are the foundation of this vessel! I, you, and this Immortal Gourd Realm will build this vessel together!"

"I will obey the decree of the Ancestor!" Tianyezi trembled with excitement.

Zhang Xuan did not hide his decision.

Soon, a decree containing supreme Daoist principles spread to every corner of the Immortal Gourd Realm.

The Lord of the World has decided to gather the power of the entire realm and refine the Immortal Gourd Realm into a trans-domain flying ship of the Xuan Tian Treasure level!

The news shocked the world!

Whether they were high-ranking Nascent Soul cultivators or lowly Qi Refining cultivators, they were all shocked when they first heard the news, but it quickly turned into a resolute determination!

"We are willing to join the Lord of the World in building the Divine Spacecraft!"

"We were born here, we grew up here, and we should stand with this world through thick and thin!"

"With my own blood, I will forge an immortal ark!"

The thoughts of billions of living beings began to converge, and the originally scattered willpower gradually twisted into a single rope, becoming pure and firm.

This is the most important step in the ritual – a heartfelt offering, where all spirits are of one mind!

With the recognition and support of the entire Immortal Gourd world, Tianyezi was finally able to act freely.

But he knew that refining an entire realm was far beyond what his Myriad Souls Furnace could handle.

The true furnace is this world itself!

With Zhang Xuan's assistance, the first step in building the boat was to "lay the foundation" and "weave the network".

Zhang Xuan hovered at the highest point of the Immortal Gourd Realm's sky, with the Seal of Reincarnation of the Heavens hovering above his head, and billions of chaotic currents descending from it.

He fully activated the "Weaving Principles of All Things," his divine sense penetrating deep into the origin of the Immortal Gourd Realm, sorting out and reweaving the relatively scattered laws of the Immortal Gourd Realm according to the structure of the Divine Ship.

"Gravity Authority, solidify! Transform into the keel of the divine spaceship, anchoring it at the center, bearing immense weight!"

Zhang Xuan activated the solidified gravity branch, slowly sinking it deep into the core of the Immortal Gourd Realm to begin constructing the most crucial load-bearing structure of the Divine Ship.

The entire land of the Immortal Gourd Realm sank slightly, becoming more solid.

"The power of the Wood Dao, draw it forth! Transform it into the lifeblood and driving force of the Divine Ship, permeating its entirety, endlessly!"

Streams of wood vitality flowed along the newly constructed dragon bone, like the blood and veins of the human body.

Meanwhile, Tianyezi was not idle either.

Based on the framework of laws outlined by Zhang Xuan, he began to mobilize the massive resources accumulated in the Immortal Gourd Realm.

Tens of thousands of top-tier materials, such as star essence, void crystal cores, and immortal divine iron, were melted into liquid law carriers and poured and filled along the law veins woven by Zhang Xuan.

This process is extremely slow and requires incredibly precise control.

Zhang Xuan used his "The Principles of Weaving All Things" to gain keen insight, while Tianyezi used his weapon-forging technique, which allowed him to touch the immortal patterns, to make subtle adjustments.

The entire Immortal Gourd Realm seemed to have become an embryo of a profound treasure being meticulously sculpted. The earth veins changed course amidst the roar, the spiritual veins were reshaped amidst the tremors, and invisible law patterns flashed like lightning from time to time.

The second step in building a boat is melting the core.

The seventh-order spiritual vein is the foundation of energy in the Immortal Gourd Realm and the core power source for the future Divine Ship to roam the heavens.

It cannot be simply extracted; it needs to be perfectly integrated into Shenzhou.

Zhang Xuan guided the mighty seventh-order spiritual vein, transforming it from merely nourishing the earth into a giant dragon awakening, infusing its vast spiritual energy into the energy cycle constructed from the gravity dragon bones and the life-giving veins of wood.

The core of the spiritual vein was carefully moved, forming an inexhaustible energy core.

The third step in building the ship is to attach it to the battle formation.

Zhang Dawu and his array masters were already prepared.

They used the array patterns of the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Resonance Array, made from a liquid smelted from materials such as star essence gold, to directly inscribe the array patterns onto the outer shell of the Shenzhou that was taking shape, which was also the boundary membrane of the Immortal Gourd Realm!

Combine the two into one.

Zhang Xuan drew upon the power of the Zhou Tian stars, which Zhang Dawu and the others precisely controlled.

Countless dazzling starlight crossed the void and condensed into extremely complex silver patterns, slowly imprinting themselves on the boundary membrane of the Immortal Gourd Realm.

These array patterns not only possess powerful defensive capabilities, but can also draw upon the power of the stars to replenish themselves. Furthermore, they form the fundamental basis for the future Shenzhou spacecraft's ability to teleport and leap through space.

This is no longer a simple formation, but rather dressing the Shenzhou in a battle armor woven from stars!

At the same time, the immense power of wishes gathered from billions of living beings in the entire Immortal Gourd Realm, guided by Zhang Xuan, began to slowly flow into the core of the divine ship.

This willpower is the purest source of spirituality, flowing along the life force veins formed by the power of wood, nourishing every inch of the newborn structure.
