Chapter 658: Upgrading the Warship

Fang Lie was satisfied with the Seven-Colored Treasure Mirror’s performance but didn’t want Mo Qianxun to grow arrogant. He deliberately nitpicked, "What about its scanning range? If too short, it can’t give warnings. Remember, that Flying Boat moves incredibly fast!"

"Not an issue!" Mo Qianxun declared confidently. "At seventh-rank, it scanned 100,000 miles. Now eighth-rank, its core functions transformed—performance definitely improved!"

He then commanded the large eyeball, "Show your owner your maximum range!"

The spiritual eyeball excitedly nodded, glanced around, and shot colored light into the void. A thirty-foot-wide screen materialized, displaying a distant city.

This cultivator-run town used illusion formations to hide from mortals, making even unaware cultivators bypass it. Yet the Seven-Colored Treasure Mirror pierced through both illusions and buildings.

The water screen revealed people inside structures. Fang Lie gaped at the clear view of the City Lord’s mansion—only one blurry area remained, likely their Treasure Vault shielded by advanced formations.

Though expecting eighth-rank treasures to excel, everyone still marveled at this absurd power. Who could hide from such detection?

"Incredible!" Mo Qianxun admitted. "I’ve seen eighth-rank treasures, but none matched this. Truly an ancient relic!"

"If it reaches ninth-rank…" Mo Wanfang wondered aloud.

Mo Qianxun mused, "Could it penetrate a major sect’s protective array?"

"Possibly," Mo Qianxun replied. "But its true strength is range. See that Yangqiu City gate? It’s 1.2 million miles away!"

Mo Wanfang inhaled sharply. "Normal eighth-rank scanners reach 700,000 miles! Your Hunyuan Treasure Mirror managed 900,000, but this…it rivals a Semi-Immortal’s divine sense!"

"Surpasses mine," Mo Qianxun grumbled. "My divine sense barely covers a million miles."

"Then I’m safe from ambushes!" Fang Lie cheered.

Silence fell. Everyone—Mo Qianxun, Mo Wanfang, Mao Mao, Mo Lanyun—stared at him like he’d sprouted horns.

Realizing his blunder, Fang Lie weakly asked, "Did I…err?"

"Catastrophically!" Mo Qianxun snapped. "A Mo Sect disciple ignorant of warships? Disgraceful!"

"I lacked exposure," Fang Lie defended.

"You owned a seventh-rank Earth Warship!" Mo Qianxun retorted. "Briefly, before wrecking it! How remain this clueless?"

"The Earth God General piloted it! I focused on cultivation!"

Mo Qianxun glared. "Still inexcusable!"

"What’s wrong?" Fang Lie pressed.

"Thinking this mirror invincible? Fool! It’s merely a basic scanner with flaws. Enemies bypass it easily!"

"How?"

"Hide a thousand feet underground or undersea—it struggles penetrating thick barriers. Or lurk in void restrictions."

"Oh…Then I need constant Twin Eyes of Heaven and Earth scans? Exhausting!"

"Unnecessary!" Mo Qianxun scoffed. "Use seismographs for underground threats, marine detectors for oceans, void sensors for spatial cracks. Install all!"

"Get me top-tier versions!" Fang Lie shrugged. "Didn’t know Mo Sect had such niche attachments."

"Not niche!" Mo Qianxun barked. "Fleets mix ships with different scanners to counter ambushes—lessons written in blood from past failures!"

Fang Lie finally grasped Mo Sect’s painful history behind these inventions.

"Preparing for Dragon Palace Ruins?" Mo Qianxun changed subjects.

"Yes."

"Then you need Spirit Vegetable Gardens, Spirit Beast Gardens, and Peaceful Palaces—all premium grade!"

These space-warping facilities provided food and comfort during long campaigns. Mechanical puppets tended crops/livestock, while Peaceful Palaces offered rest areas.

"All best-quality!" Fang Lie confirmed.

"Core energy pool?" Mo Qianxun eyed the empty slot. "Your warship lacks one."

"Essential! I need a month’s battle capacity!"

Mo Qianxun chuckled. "Requires custom work. Fortunately, your stolen eighth-rank Spirit Jade suffices. We’ll craft a monstrous pool!"

"Now! Can’t delay my Dragon Palace trip!"

"Relax." Mo Qianxun winked at Mo Lanyun. "I’ll personally intervene if needed." He vanished instantly.
