Chapter 340
by fanqienovelChapter 340: Earth’s Magnetic Force Warship
Before them lay a vast expanse of white, filled with terrifying Divine Earth’s Magnetic Force Light, forming streams of light like countless dragon-like shapes playing joyfully.
The Divine Earth’s Magnetic Force Light is a very special light, highly concentrated from the earth’s magnetic force. It can control metals and even dispel the powers of Yin-Yang and Five Elements.
It is common knowledge that magnetic force can control metals, but the magnetism of the Divine Earth’s Magnetic Force Light is incredibly fearsome. Even metals contained within treasures can be severely affected, leading to situations where they cannot be controlled at all.
As for dispelling the powers of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, this ability is extremely abnormal. Almost all things in the world cannot escape the grasp of Yin-Yang and Five Elements. Even flesh and bone are composed of energies of Yin-Yang and elements of the Five Elements.
Within the Divine Earth’s Magnetic Force Light, whether it’s the energies of Yin-Yang or the objects of the Five Elements, they will be dispersed. The Yin-Yang energies will directly vanish, and the Five Elements objects will also dissolve, resulting in a terrifying killing power.
Of course, the scale of this killing power depends on the strength of the Divine Earth’s Magnetic Force Light. When it is weak, the dispelling power is also limited, causing no substantial harm in a short time.
However, the Earth’s Magnetic Storm that Fang Lie observed now was filled with terrifying Divine Earth’s Magnetic Force Light. Even a Seventh-rank Treasure would not hold out long here; it would lose its spirit and become worthless.
No wonder Mo Wanfang said that even the Thunder Tribulation Immortal could not stay here. Such a terrifying Earth’s Magnetic Storm could probably only be resisted by the Fire Tribulation Immortal, who could control an Eighth-rank Treasure.
Of course, if one possessed items not related to the Yin-Yang and Five Elements, it would be a different story.
For example, Mo Wanfang’s Qingyun Flying Boat, which was actually forged from the energy of the Nine Heavens, clearly exists outside the realms of Yin-Yang and Five Elements.
This is also the reason why he had to personally pilot the ship here.
At this moment, Fang Lie suddenly spotted something strange. Among the dragon-like shapes formed by the Divine Earth’s Magnetic Force Light, there seemed to be some silver threads.
These silver threads, no thicker than a cow’s hair, were only a few feet to several zhang in length. However, they were incredibly tough. No matter how fierce the Earth’s Magnetic Storm, they did not break; they only produced sharp, crisp sounds when tensed, reminiscent of guitar strings.
Feeling very curious, Fang Lie asked, "What are those silver threads?"
"Great stuff, Earth’s Magnetic True Gold!" Mo Wanfang replied enviously. "These treasures formed over thousands of years from metals refined by the Earth’s Magnetic Storm. Despite their unassuming appearance, each foot is condensed from tens of thousands of jin of metal materials, and they are incredibly resilient, containing terrifying earth’s magnetic force. Naturally, they are supreme materials for refining."
"How many ranks?" Fang Lie immediately asked out of curiosity.
"Looking at the color, pure silver means it’s Seventh-rank, which takes thousands of years to form. A faint golden glow indicates Eighth-rank materials, requiring millions of years to reach that level. As for pure gold, that is Ninth-rank material, but unfortunately, it’s too rare. We have occupied this place for over one hundred thousand years and sent the Thunder Tribulation Immortal to collect it every thousand years, obtaining only a small amount of golden Earth’s Magnetic True Gold, barely enough to refine a small treasure," Mo Wanfang said regretfully. "If only my strength were greater, I would definitely gather some. This stuff is only plentiful here; there’s almost none outside."
"Is it really that hard to collect?" Fang Lie asked, confused. "Aren’t they just tiny threads flying outside?"
"What do you know? This stuff is extraordinary and incredibly tough. In the Earth’s Magnetic Storm, it is enhanced by terrifying earth’s magnetic force, capable of easily cutting through even a Seventh-rank Treasure. Its sharpness rivals that of an Eighth-rank middle-grade Flying Sword!" Mo Wanfang said with a wry smile. "Don’t just look at me; even the Fire Tribulation Immortal would avoid them. Only the Thunder Tribulation Immortal dares to collect them."
"Now I see!" Fang Lie finally understood the situation.
For the next few days, Mo Wanfang focused on piloting the ship towards the center of the Earth’s Magnetic Storm.
Every day, Mo Wanfang felt great pain as he sent ten thousand small spirit pearls into the Nascent Soul Furnace, transforming them into pure Magic to replenish his consumption.
Although this place was rich in Nascent Soul energy and could allow the furnace to convert vast amounts of Magic, the continuous assaults from the Earth’s Magnetic Storm made the Magic it produced insufficient. He had to consume small spirit pearls.
Finally, on this day, according to the sect’s records, Fang Lie and Mo Wanfang located the Earth’s Magnetic Force Flying Warship situated at the heart of the storm.
When its full form unfolded before them, both Fang Lie and Mo Wanfang gasped in astonishment.
It was a colossal warship, a thousand zhang long, shaped like a jujube seed, pointed at both ends, thick in the middle, split into two parts with a smooth underside and an upper side divided into eighteen layers that looked like terraced fields, gradually tapering upwards.
Each layer was more than ten zhang high and was filled with Puppet Soldiers, towering earth’s magnetic puppets standing six to seven zhang tall.
Additionally, there were thirty high towers, each mounting a round sphere several zhang in diameter.
The warship’s appearance was not glamorous; it looked ancient. However, its color was quite unusual—it was entirely silvery-white, gleaming with a golden sheen, seeming more like it was made of metal rather than forged from earth’s magnetic stone. The same went for the thousands of puppets outside and the towers.
Fang Lie was dumbfounded. He couldn’t help but say to Mo Wanfang, "Are you sure this is the Earth’s Magnetic Force Flying Warship? Not a metals flying warship?"
"I—I also don’t know!" Mo Wanfang exclaimed in shock. "The sect’s records clearly state this place houses the Earth’s Magnetic Force Flying Warship. The shape matches and is just like the sect’s account. But the color is off—it should be earth yellow with a hint of grayish-white. Why has it changed like this?"
Just then, a silver thread appeared in the Earth’s Magnetic Storm, which was indeed the Earth’s Magnetic True Gold. Under the influence of the earth’s magnetic force, it rammed violently into the strange flying warship with tremendous force.
There was a loud thud as the silver thread penetrated the warship, leaving a fine crack on its surface. But soon, the crack vanished, as if it had never existed.
If Fang Lie and Mo Wanfang had not witnessed the entire process, they would not have believed it had been attacked by Earth’s Magnetic True Gold.
Seeing this, Mo Wanfang immediately exclaimed, "Ah! I understand now; the outer layer is made of Earth’s Magnetic True Gold!"
"What?" Fang Lie was greatly startled and couldn’t help but shout, "How is that possible? Didn’t you say Earth’s Magnetic True Gold is extremely rare and cannot be collected?"
"You know nothing!" Mo Wanfang said with great jealousy. "The biggest feature of this Earth’s Magnetic Force Flying Warship is its ability to absorb the earth’s energy and automatically repair itself. In this endless storm area, every time the Earth’s Magnetic True Gold strikes, it restores itself. The fine silver thread, however, remains inside. Over time, the Earth’s Magnetic True Gold accumulates, and after a hundred thousand years, it can form such an outer shell! Not just this warship; even the earth puppets guarding it have benefited! Even Fifth-rank earth puppets can demonstrate Sixth-rank combat strength! How is it that you get so lucky? Even being casually given a warship allows you to stumble upon such a big fortune!"
"Hahaha, it’s just Nascent Soul energy!" Fang Lie became overjoyed and wasted no time pulling out the Stone Orb that Mo Qianxun had given him.
This Stone Orb was the key to the Earth’s Magnetic Warship and proof of its master. On the way here, Fang Lie had completed the refining with the help of the old bird.
Without any hesitation, Fang Lie promptly activated the Stone Orb using the teachings from the old bird.
The Stone Orb emitted a hazy white light, which was indeed the Divine Earth’s Magnetic Force Light, but very faint and flickering with special waves.
Soon, the Earth’s Magnetic Force Flying Warship, which had not moved for thousands of years, finally stirred. With a massive tremor, a large portal began to slowly open at the back of the warship.
Without needing Fang Lie to speak, Mo Wanfang entered through the portal.
Once inside, Fang Lie and Mo Wanfang found themselves in a massive space, clearly a docking area for incoming flying ships.
Although it was just an ordinary docking area, it overflowed with Spiritual Energy. Upon emerging from the Qingyun Flying Boat, Fang Lie and Mo Qianxun were stunned to see that the surface of the dock, spanning thousands of acres, was covered with a thick layer of spirit stones.
Fang Lie curiously scooped up a handful and closely examined them. He discovered that these spirit stones were thumb-sized, earthy yellow, semi-transparent, and possessed extremely pure earth element spiritual energy. They were high-grade earth element spirit stones.
Mo Wanfang was also inspecting them, but he used his Magic to grasp a large pile, revealing a base thickness of over one zhang.
Fang Lie and Mo Wanfang exchanged glances and simultaneously gasped in awe.
High-grade spirit stones were no longer exceptionally valuable to Fang Lie and Mo Wanfang, as their currency had transitioned to small spirit pearls, with one pearl equivalent to ten thousand high-grade spirit stones.
However, the sheer quantity of high-grade spirit stones here was staggering—thousands of acres, over one zhang deep—how many could that be? It might even reach hundreds of millions! Converted into small spirit pearls, that would amount to several hundred thousand!
Unable to contain himself, Fang Lie exclaimed, "Senior, was our Mo Sect always this wealthy? Hundreds of millions of high-grade spirit stones just to pave the ground? And all of it on an inconsequential dock? What’s the use of this?"
"Paving the ground? You fool!" Mo Wanfang exclaimed in frustration. "Can’t you see that these high-grade spirit stones weren’t manually laid down but naturally formed here?"
"Formed naturally? How is that possible?" Fang Lie was instantly shocked.
