Chapter 1700 The Arrival of a True Immortal

At the same time, the construction of the internal soul-suppressing system is also underway.

The Soul-Suppressing Divine Iron from the Prison Sea was tempered by Zhang Xuan using his power of withering and flourishing, stripping away its overly cold Prison Sea aura while retaining its pure suppression and sealing principles.

Then, as if they had a life of their own, these pitch-black chains quietly spread and solidified along the keel and energy network nodes of the Shenzhou, forming an invisible net.

During this period, the gestation of the spirit of Shenzhou also reached a critical stage.

Nourished by the Soul Crystal, the Sands of Reincarnation, and the willpower of countless living beings, the core light cluster gradually solidified and gained sentience, enabling it to begin vaguely communicate with Zhang Xuan.

We have entered the fourth century.

Most importantly, the Netherworld Suppressing Stone, the core of the Prison Sea, was integrated into the Divine Ship.

The suppressing power contained in the Netherworld Suppressing Stone is too strong and domineering. Directly integrating it could very likely disrupt the energy balance that the Shenzhou has painstakingly established, or even turn it into another prison.

Zhang Xuan had been preparing for this for hundreds of years.

He first used the gentle influence of the Great Tree to subtly dispel its hostility.

At the same time, the power of the puppet palace was mobilized, especially the immense aura of suppression that the dragon coffin exuded for eternity, which assisted in stabilizing the space and causality of the core area.

Once everything was ready, Zhang Xuan mobilized the power of the entire divine vessel, pushing the Netherworld Suppressing Stone towards the core of the divine vessel, beneath the nascent artifact spirit orb.

"Om-"

The moment the two made contact, the entire Shenzhou trembled violently, all the light dimmed, and a terrifying suppressive force seemed to sweep out!

"Certainly!"

Zhang Xuan was prepared. He fully activated the Gravity Authority to stabilize the structure, the Wood Authority to deliver abundant vitality to soothe the restlessness, and the Withering and Flourishing Authority to resolve the overflowing suppression Dao Law impact.

The puppet palace shimmered with light, and the dragon coffin seemed to move slightly, exuding an indescribable ancient majesty that forcefully held the core in place before it went berserk!

This process lasted a full ten years.

For ten years, Zhang Xuan worked tirelessly with the array masters and weapon forgers of the Immortal Gourd Realm, constantly adjusting energy output and balancing the various Dao principles.

Finally, with a deep and harmonious resonance, the Netherworld Suppressing Stone settled down completely, perfectly merging into the core. Its immense suppressive power transformed into the deepest source of power for the Divine Ship, forming a symbiotic relationship with the Spirit Orb.

After this battle, all systems within Shenzhou truly achieved a state of perfect balance, with energy flowing smoothly and flawlessly.

With the return of the Netherworld Suppressing Stone, the artifact spirit that had been nurtured in the core of the Divine Ship for four hundred years finally ushered in its final awakening!

In a moment of tranquility, a vast and clear will, like the rising sun, burst forth from the core of the Shenzhou spacecraft, instantly sweeping across every corner of it!

The hazy ball of light solidified completely, transforming into a divine ship spirit that resembled Zhang Xuan in appearance and was surrounded by stars and other Daoist auras.

It opened its eyes, and in them was the evolving starry sea and the cycle of reincarnation.

"My name is Immortal Gourd Divine Boat!"

The spirit of the Shenzhou emitted a grand Daoist voice, completely in tune with Zhang Xuan's mind and connected with the bloodlines of billions of living beings.

Under the coordination of the spirit of the immortal gourd, the final minor flaws of the Shenzhou were quickly corrected during the last century.

The resonance between the Zhou Tian Star Array and the stars in the heavens reached its peak.

The eternal furnace fire burns steadily.

The Annihilation Flame Cannon is imbued with destructive brilliance and can unleash a fatal blow at any moment.

After five hundred years, gathering the power of an entire realm, collecting countless ancient treasures, integrating supreme authority, and combining the essence of the Dao, the Immortal Gourd Divine Boat has finally been completed!

"Rumble--"

At the very moment when the Divine Ship was completely perfected, the Immortal Gourd Realm underwent its ultimate transformation!

Its form was finally fixed, with smooth and perfect lines, forged by the Heavenly Dao, exuding a majestic pressure and vast fortune that surpassed the limits of ordinary Xuan Tian treasures.

An invisible storm swept across the entire Dragonspine Divine Realm!

In the Dragon Spine Divine Realm, all forces were already numb from the shock of the magnificent aura that had accumulated over five hundred years and finally erupted.

"A thousand years... He actually did it..." Elder Ni Yuan Tianhe murmured to himself as he gazed at the starry sky.

"I never imagined that such a divine object existed in this world..." The sect leader of the Spirit Medicine Immortal Sect had a complicated look in his eyes.

The Wanxiang Merchant Alliance was so excited that Master Wanbao could hardly contain himself: "After a thousand years of hard work, we have finally reaped the rewards. I never expected that Elder Zhang would actually succeed. From this day forward, all resources of the Merchant Alliance will be given priority to the Immortal Gourd Realm!"

All forces understood that the completion of the Immortal Gourd Divine Ship meant that Zhang Xuan and the Immortal Gourd Realm possessed the resources to contend with True Immortals, truly becoming the number one Mahayana power in this realm.

The Immortal Gourd Divine Boat, after a thousand years of construction, has finally been completed.

Its immense power swept across the star field, its might unleashed throughout the ages.

Zhang Xuan was stationed at the core of the Divine Ship, the Imperial Palace, working with the Divine Ship's spirit gourd to deduce all sorts of changes.

On this day, Zhang Xuan was discussing minor adjustments to certain details of the Shenzhou spacecraft with Tian Yezi, Zhang Dawu, and others when suddenly, his mind stirred, and he looked up abruptly, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of membranes, gazing into the deep starry sky.

Not only him, but the spirit of the Shenzhou also issued a warning at the same time: "Master, the Daoist aura of a True Immortal has been detected!"

A true immortal?!

The expressions of everyone in the Immortal Gourd Realm changed instantly.

A fierce glint flashed in Zhang Xuan's eyes, but then, the familiar Daoist aura of True Immortal stirred a strange feeling in his heart.

With a flicker, he appeared outside the Immortal Gourd Divine Ship, hovering in the cold starry sky, hands behind his back, gazing in the direction from which the spatial fluctuations came.

In the distance, in the boundless void, gentle ripples spread out.

The ripples were not violent enough to tear space apart, but rather carried a subtle and mysterious quality.

Immediately afterwards, three figures slowly emerged from the center of the ripples.

The first person, dressed in a black robe, still had a handsome face, but he possessed an indescribable depth and majesty than he had two thousand years ago. His aura was in harmony with the Great Dao, and it was none other than You Wuyai!

Beside him stood a woman with bright eyes and white teeth. Time had not left many marks on her face, but instead added a touch of mature charm and tranquility. However, her eyes, which were looking at Zhang Xuan, were instantly filled with excitement and affection. She was none other than Zhang Xuan's daughter, Mengmeng, whom he had not seen for more than two thousand years!

Beside Mengmeng stood a young man, tall and straight, with a combination of You Wuyai's heroic spirit and Mengmeng's delicate beauty. His eyes were clear and firm, and his aura had reached the peak of the Fusion Realm!

He gazed curiously at the colossal divine vessel transformed from the Immortal Gourd Realm ahead, and at the familiar figure in the boundless void, with a hint of inquiry and respect.

This is Zhang Xuan's grandson—Youlan Sheng!

“Lord Taishan,” You Wuyai spoke first, his voice calm, “It has been more than two thousand years since we last met. I hope you have been well.”

"Dad!" Zhang Mengmeng could no longer hold back, her voice choked with sobs.

"Grandpa..." You Lansheng also bowed respectfully.

Zhang Xuan stared blankly at the three people in front of him, especially his daughter Mengmeng and grandson Youlansheng. More than two thousand years of time seemed to be compressed at this moment, and countless memories flooded his mind.

Even though he is now at the peak of Mahayana, in charge of the supreme divine ship, and his will is as firm as a rock, he couldn't help but feel his heart surging and his nose slightly sore.
