Chapter 1694 The Prototype of Shenzhou

A spirit consciousness belonging to Shenzhou itself began to take shape at its core.

This spirit is not independent; its origin is connected to Zhang Xuan and to all living beings in the Immortal Gourd Realm.

Time flies, and three hundred years have passed since the beginning of shipbuilding.

Over the past three hundred years, the Immortal Gourd Realm has undergone earth-shattering changes.

The earth became more solid, the landscape was subtly adjusted to fit the structure of the divine vessel, and the connection between the celestial stars and the Immortal Gourd Realm became stronger.

The creatures within the realm had long been accustomed to the occasional roars of the laws and the tremors of the earth's veins. They could clearly sense that the world they lived in was undergoing a fundamental transformation at a slow but steady pace.

At this moment, the Immortal Gourd Realm may not look much different from the outside, but inside, a gravity dragon bone that runs through the heavens and the earth has taken shape. The seventh-order spiritual vein and the World Tree have been perfectly integrated. The life force veins condensed by the power of wood and the will of all living beings have constructed a preliminary energy and spiritual cycle. The foundation of the Zhou Tian Star Array is deeply imprinted on the boundary membrane.

The prototype of a divine vessel of the Xuan Tian level has been quietly laid.

However, three hundred years have only laid the foundation for Shenzhou.

We've only covered less than a third of the way.

It will take at least six hundred years to fully forge this divine vessel.

"I wonder if this ship can be forged before the great calamity of a thousand years arrives?"

Over the past three hundred years, the Immortal Gourd Realm has poured massive amounts of resources into the construction of the Divine Ship.

Fortunately, Zhang Xuan refined the Myriad Laws Converging to the Origin Golden Elixir, and then further refined it into a Second-Stage Golden Elixir through the Taiqing Creation Diagram.

Through this pill, one can trade a vast amount of rare resources with the Myriad Elephant Merchant Alliance and the Xuanhuang Great Realm.

Otherwise, the Shenzhou refining project would truly be difficult to sustain.

Just as Zhang Xuan, within the Immortal Gourd Realm, with unparalleled power and resolute will, initiated the unprecedented grand plan of sacrificing the realm and forging the ship, and poured massive resources into this peerless Xuan Tian treasure like rivers flowing into the sea, the vast starry sky beneath the Dragon Spine Divine Domain was not entirely silent.

Those Mahayana cultivators standing at the pinnacle of the divine realm along the thirty-three celestial rivers had already traversed the starry sea with their divine senses, sensing the subtle changes in the fortune and laws of the Immortal Gourd Realm.

"Sacrificing to the world, rebuilding the ships... What a grand undertaking!" The Supreme Elder of the Reverse Origin Heavenly River exclaimed with a hint of amazement. "It is not destruction, but sublimation... Using the 'Principles of Weaving All Things' to unify all laws, taking the small world as the foundation, all living beings as the mind, and the stars as armor... Such a concept is close to the way of creation, and its power can swallow the sea of ​​stars!"

"But... this path is too dangerous and too difficult," said the sect master of the Spirit Medicine Immortal Sect. "Moreover, the thousand acres of seventh-grade spirit fields, countless rare spirit plants, and that seventh-grade spirit vein with unlimited potential are all priceless treasures. If we fail, the losses will be enormous!"

"Sacrifice the realm to forge a ship? That is indeed a grand ambition," said the sect master of the Nine Nether Sect. "If this succeeds, the Immortal Gourd Realm will leap to become an existence that we all have to look up to. But if it fails, it will be utterly annihilated."

The Myriad Elephants Business Alliance lies deep within the Suspended Divine City.

Master Wanbao arrived at the Star Gazing Platform, staring intently in the direction of the Immortal Gourd Realm. He muttered to himself, "Offering sacrifices to an entire realm and forging a flying boat? And at least a Xuan Tian Treasure! Elder Zhang, Elder Zhang, your actions are... far too... far too astonishing!"

As a core elder of the Myriad Elephants Merchant Alliance, he had seen countless rare treasures and handled countless resource transactions, but using a vast world with boundless potential, which had already advanced to the seventh rank, as material to refine a magic weapon was simply unheard of!

This goes beyond the word "luxury"; it's an almost insane gamble!

"Wouldn't it be better to use such a massive amount of resources to strengthen ourselves, or even exchange them for some ready-made world-suppressing treasures from the Merchant Alliance?"

Even some reclusive ancient lineages, with their aged divine thoughts awakening from slumber, let out long sighs: "Using the realm as a vessel... In the ancient times, some gods and demons may have committed such heaven-defying acts, but they all suffered divine retribution and rarely met a good end. This child's courage is commendable, but I wonder if he can bear the weight of it..."

This attention from all sides includes amazement, regret, covetousness, and indifferent observation, and naturally, there is no shortage of malicious spying.

But whatever their thoughts were, they were temporarily suppressed in the face of Zhang Xuan's earth-shattering actions and the magnificent momentum of the Immortal Gourd Realm gradually resonating with the stars in the heavens.

No one would want to easily touch a madman who is refining the world and whose aura grows more terrifying every day, and his insane creation that gathers the power of an entire world, when the situation is still unclear.

Zhang Xuan was not oblivious to the turbulent events unfolding outside, but he had no time to pay attention to them.

The shipbuilding process has reached its most critical mid-term stage.

Three hundred years of foundation laid gave the Immortal Gourd Realm the skeleton and veins of a divine vessel.

The next step is to allow flesh and blood to grow on this skeleton, to let blood flow through its veins, and to give it a true soul.

"Gravitational tides shape the world's shell into a boat's hull!"

Zhang Xuan activated the Gravity Authority, which was no longer simply about stability, but rather, like a top-notch craftsman, used the invisible force of gravity as a carving knife to meticulously sculpt the external form of the Immortal Gourd Realm.

The originally irregular outline of the world began to transform into a streamlined spindle shape under the constraint of immense gravity.

With the support of the Star Array and the shaping effect of gravity, the boundary membrane became more resilient, and the star array pattern on it flickered, drawing power from the stars in the heavens.

Inside, the life-giving veins, condensed by the power of wood, spread wildly like blood vessels and nerves in the human body, transmitting energy and repairing damage within the realm, under the infusion of the will of all living beings and the energy of the seventh-order spiritual veins.

Tianyezi led millions of high-level weapon refiners to inject the liquid of laws, which was made by melting massive amounts of resources, into the hull frame that Zhang Xuan had sculpted, just as filling bones with muscles.

These materials not only strengthen the structure, but are also the Great Dao Laws that Zhang Xuan has rewoven.

The spiritual source, which gathers the pure wishes of billions of living beings in the Immortal Gourd Realm, has formed a hazy ball of light at the core of the Divine Ship under the harmonization of the World Tree sapling.

Within the ball of light, a nascent yet powerful consciousness is slowly growing.

It was born with a connection to Zhang Xuan's mind and blood, and was able to instinctively mobilize all the power of the divine ship.

Zhang Xuan often severs a wisp of his divine consciousness to communicate with this nascent artifact spirit, imprinting various inheritances onto it, and guiding the entire Immortal Gourd Realm to transform with his own Great Dao.

If he hadn't refined the Second Transformation Myriad Laws Converging to the Origin Golden Elixir to absorb nearly infinite Dao Origin, he would have been exhausted long ago.

Time flies like water, and another two hundred years have passed.

Less than five hundred years remain until the Great Tribulation of a Thousand Years.

At this time, the Immortal Gourd Realm has changed drastically from the outside!

It is no longer a traditional world of cultivation, but more like a giant ship floating in the depths of the starry sky!

The ship is hundreds of billions of miles long, with smooth lines and a vast celestial map engraved on its surface. Countless stars move slowly in the map, reflecting the real starry sea.
