Chapter 408: The Heavy Water Source Blade
Feng Chang Ning was a bold person. Although it would waste half of her Merit and Fortune, it was worth it to attract an artifact great master.
Seeing Feng Chang Ning deep in thought, the little boy knew things were not so simple.
"You are destined to be the ruler of the celestial dynasty. With my assistance, it won’t be a problem for you to dominate this middle thousand world in the future."
"Even in the future, there may be a chance for you to uplift the entire middle thousand world and achieve the Immortal Court," the little boy continued, feeling somewhat pleased. Meeting someone like Feng Chang Ning with such a fate in the middle thousand world made him think that establishing a country in this classical Immortal Realm was destiny calling him—a bright road lay ahead, and he urged her not to be ungrateful.
"To unify the cultivation world and have the entire realm become the Immortal Court?" Feng Chang Ning said dreamily upon hearing the little boy’s description.
"With me here, along with the support of this Merit and Fortune, it’s just a matter of time," the little boy said, placing the modified puppet core back.
At that moment, the tool puppet bowed to the little boy, its gaze much brighter than before.
"Hello, Master. Number One is at your service," the tool puppet said to the little boy.
"In the early stages, having only one master spirit control the puppet is too slow. Collective intelligence is the way to go," the little boy remarked, satisfied as he clapped his hands, looking at the puppet.
"Does this puppet have its own consciousness now?" Feng Chang Ning asked.
"Yes. Right now, this puppet can only perform simple tasks on its own. After some time learning, it will act like an adult," the little boy replied.
"What about when there are many of them…" Feng Chang Ning didn’t finish her thought.
"Their lives and deaths depend entirely on your will," the little boy said.
As he spoke, Puppet Number One knelt before Feng Chang Ning.
"This kind of puppet will exist like a captain in the future, while most will remain ordinary puppets."
"That’s good," Feng Chang Ning nodded.
"Now, focus on steady development. Once I reach the Golden Core Stage, that will be the time for your celestial dynasty to rise," the little boy said confidently.
"I’m looking forward to your advancement to the Golden Core Stage," Feng Chang Ning replied.
At that moment, far away on Hidden Spirit Island, Xu Fan suddenly sneezed.
"Who is thinking of me?" Xu Fan wondered aloud.
In the cultivation world, sneezing was not a trivial matter; it indicated causal power manifesting as a strange substance surrounding him.
Xu Fan closed his eyes and soon opened them again, speaking in confusion, "What is going on? Who is thinking of me?"
Following the faint trace of causal power, he saw a vast, empty world.
"Never mind, the matters at hand are more important," Xu Fan remarked as he looked at the Demon Suppressing Star.
The Demon Suppressing Star was crafted by two other beast clan master craftsmen working overtime, designed to mount the railgun.
Xu Fan had become adept at using the Phoenix Divine Fire, feeling no clumsiness whatsoever.
A special material was reinforced into the Demon Suppressing Star while over a hundred Artifact-level thrusters were gradually loaded onto it according to their positions.
"It’s ready. Now that the space is sealed, we wouldn’t have to do all this hassle," Xu Fan grinned.
At this moment, outside of the Steel Wall, the Four Beast Clans had already sent three beast kings for support—thanks to Li Xingci consuming important pieces to delay them. Even Xu Fan began to get to work now.
There were only ten days left until the three-month deadline.
"If we don’t finish crafting it before the last beast king arrives, we’re screwed," Xu Fan said, his face unusually serious.
The railgun was now in the final stage of engraving the celestial script formation, and he couldn’t help anymore.
"Grape, before the railgun is ready, if a bunch of beast kings show up outside the Steel Wall, fire half of the main cannon and all the Demon Suppressing Stars," Xu Fan ordered.
"Got it."
"Launch the second wave of main cannon shells from inside the Steel Wall."
"On it."
Xu Fan was thinking about whether he should take Hidden Spirit Island out for a little trip.
Just then, a light curtain appeared in front of Xu Fan, showing the four master craftsmen working together to carve the celestial script.
"Eight days left," Xu Fan said.
At that moment, a purple mist formed beside Xu Fan, taking the shape of Li Xingci.
"Master, a lot of our key pieces have been discovered. I’ve let you down," Li Xingci said, his head bowed in shame.
"I get it; stirring up trouble under the Great Ascension Beast Sovereign’s nose is bound to happen," Xu Fan replied, not surprised.
"What about the last beast king who was supposed to help?" Xu Fan asked.
"We’ve lost contact with them," Li Xingci said.
"What’s Elder Ran Tian’s celestial tool?" Xu Fan asked.
"The Heavy Water Source Blade, made from the condensed heavy water of Wan Hai," Li Xingci replied.
"No wonder it hasn’t found a master in all these years."
"Tell Elder Su I need to borrow his celestial tool. Once we get through this, I’ll return it," Xu Fan said.
Just then, a deep blue giant knife appeared next to Li Xingci, sealed in a scabbard covered in celestial script.
"I was going to mention that. When I got here, Tian’er had already given me the celestial tool, saying I could use it as I please," Li Xingci explained.
"Thank Elder Su for me; the sect will make it up to him."
Xu Fan placed one hand on the scabbard and started carving celestial script with the other.
A massive dark shadow loomed behind Xu Fan; it was Grape’s energy taking form.
"Stay calm; I’m finding you a good master," Xu Fan said softly to the Heavy Water Source Blade.
Then, another figure appeared next to Xu Fan—a Core Formation Stage Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey.
"Master, you’re not thinking of…" Li Xingci glanced at the Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey and then at the Heavy Water Source Blade.
The Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey started to panic, sensing trouble.
"It’ll do for now." Xu Fan turned his full attention to the Core Formation Stage Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey.
"The sect’s survival is on the line, and it’s your time to step up."
"…" The Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey’s face twisted, as if to say, "Should I be thanking you?"
"Let me be clear: when that beast king shows up, you’re going in. I’ll use a forbidden technique to unleash all your power."
"That’ll be the peak of your monkey life—you might even take down a beast king," Xu Fan added.
"Will I die after using the forbidden technique?" The Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey stared at Xu Fan, a flicker of despair in its eyes.
"Pretty much," Xu Fan said bluntly.
"If I die, will my kin be spared from this kind of thing?" The Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey trembled, unsure if it was from anger or fear.
"Fine. Once this is over, your kin will only handle regular tasks."
"Deal," the Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey nodded.
The Heavy Water Source Blade was drawn, and a dark, heavy ocean shadow loomed over Hidden Spirit Island.
