Chapter 291: Transformation of the Giant Beast Race Warships
In the Void Realm, a vast prairie stretched out where a man and a woman rode two fine horses.
“Xingci, I still can’t figure out how the Grand Elder can make this space ring transform into various tools,” Su Rantian said, looking at the object in Li Xingci’s hands.
“Master loves those rare and peculiar things; he has even crafted many treasures and puppets that can be activated without spiritual energy,” Li Xingci laughed.
He and Su Rantian hadn’t found any signs of people on the mountain peak; they only discovered an ancient trade route on the prairie.
“I tested this world and found that it can’t hold even a trace of energy; even the energy generated within oneself can’t exist in the body,” Li Xingci said. When they were young, Xu Fan had taught them a few sets of his self-created true qi techniques from the mundane world.
“Only body refinement has a little effect, but it can’t surpass the limits of ordinary mortals.”
“What a shame; this world is more dangerous than we imagined,” Su Rantian said, looking up at the giant eagle in the sky that was watching them with fierce eyes, its wings spanning about ten meters.
At that moment, a lion suddenly appeared from the grass nearby, charging towards the two.
Li Xingci conjured a beautifully crafted, complex longbow from thin air, retrieving four arrows from the quiver on his back.
‘Thump, thump, thump, thump.’
He shot four arrows in quick succession.
Three female lions and a dependent male lion were struck in the forehead.
Before dying, the male lion glanced at the horseback duo with despair, thinking, I only wanted to eat your horse; was it necessary to kill my entire family?
The longbow transformed back into a fingernail-sized object as Li Xingci said gently, “Let’s go; they’re just ordinary beasts, no need to pay them any mind.”
Su Rantian merely glanced at the four lions, wondering how she would handle such a situation if she faced them.
“Xingci, that lifetime must have been very hard for you,” Su Rantian said with concern.
Li Xingci recounted his experiences from his first lifetime, which took place in a wild continent filled with exotic beasts, where he was born into a tribe of savages.
When he was young, he was strong, skilled with a bow, and wielded a spear that even adult savages feared.
Just as the entire tribe had high hopes for him to lead them to greatness, a sudden cold wave swept across the continent.
He was the only one who survived in the entire tribe.
After performing a fire burial for the entire tribe, he set out in search of other tribes.
Ultimately, he found that under that cold wave, he was the only one who had lived.
Thus, he spent 32 years alone in the wild continent before jumping off a cliff with his last ounce of strength due to exhaustion.
It could be said that this lifetime was the most painful for Li Xingci; he could never forget the feeling of being alone on that vast, boundless land.
First lifetime of the Cycle of Rebirth: Solitude
“It’s alright. Now Master has optimized the divine powers, so I don’t have to relive an entire life to regain my memories,” Li Xingci said with a smile. He had to admit that carrying his own memories into the cycle was a unique experience.
“I’ll ask the Grand Elder when I return to see if I can cultivate this divine power with you and accompany you into the cycle,” Su Rantian said.
On one hand, she felt heartache for her husband’s experiences; on the other, she didn’t want him to develop feelings for other women inside.
“Master said it should be possible, but it requires Soul Dream stones.”
“Can we buy them with spirit stones?”
“It should be possible.”
"Then there’s no problem," Su Rantian said happily. In her eyes, everything in this world could be divided into two categories: things you could buy with spirit stones and things you couldn’t.
Just then, the ground suddenly began to shake, and a large group of cavalry appeared in the distance.
…………………
On Hidden Spirit Island, in a vast plain, an ape-like giant beast warship from the beast race lay motionless.
Xu Fan and Sha Diao were examining it.
"How should we modify this thing?" Xu Fan mused, stroking his chin.
In Xu Fan’s opinion, this giant beast warship wasn’t ideal for combat in the Extreme Void Domain. Before you could even get close, it would become a sitting duck. Even with strong defensive strength, it would eventually face giant cannons designed to counter it.
"Grand Elder, what do you plan to do with this beast race warship?" Sha Diao asked, running his hand over the surface of the giant beast.
"I called you here to hear your thoughts," Xu Fan replied with a smile. Truthfully, he was just bored and looking for something to do.
"How about we dismantle it and recycle the materials?" Sha Diao suggested.
"If we refine those materials, we could at least create a precious artifact. What do you think?" Sha Diao added with a grin.
"Forget it. You should just go back to building your little sea ship," Xu Fan said dismissively.
"Imagine if we turned this beast race warship into a giant puppet. Wouldn’t that be something?" Xu Fan said, looking at Sha Diao. He couldn’t believe Sha Diao wanted to scrap such a valuable find.
At that moment, a pangolin appeared beside Xu Fan.
"Master, what do you need?" the pangolin asked respectfully, though inwardly it prayed not to be asked to divine its own fate.
"Do not resist," Xu Fan said, placing a hand on the pangolin.
"As you command."
In an instant, the pangolin’s eyes turned clear and focused.
It transformed into a streak of light and flew toward the large hole in the chest of the ape-like giant beast warship.
"Grand Elder, you’re not planning to let it control this giant beast warship, are you?" Sha Diao exclaimed in surprise.
At that moment, the giant beast warship, which had been lifeless, began to stir.
The warship, lying flat on the plain, slowly sat up, using its hands to push itself upright and gradually stand.
The over ten-thousand-meter-tall giant beast warship took only two steps before it collapsed back to the ground with a thunderous crash.
After the dust settled, the pangolin, bleeding from all seven orifices, flew out of the giant beast warship’s chest hole.
At that moment, the pangolin felt as if it were on the brink of death.
"Step back and rest," Xu Fan said, rubbing his forehead. Controlling the pangolin to pilot the giant beast warship had drained a significant amount of his mental energy.
"Thank you, Master," the pangolin said, relieved, as it limped back to Satellite Island to recover.
"Turns out, controlling this thing in a gravitational environment is no easy task," Xu Fan remarked.
He had received information about the giant beast warship from Ning Dao. It had never been used in land warfare due to its massive energy consumption and numerous limitations.
"Transforming it into a puppet won’t be simple," Sha Diao observed.
"It’s doable. If we tweak the core and boost the output power, it could still hold its own in battle for a while," Xu Fan said.
"Then call me when you start the modifications, Grand Elder," Sha Diao said.
"Don’t worry, I won’t forget about you," Xu Fan chuckled.
Xu Fan instructed Grape to turn the area into a base for modifying the giant beast warship.
"This is going to be tricky. Powering such a massive giant beast warship with spirit stones on land will be tough unless I raid the beast race’s treasury," Xu Fan said, his gaze shifting to the sun in the sky.
