Chapter 718 Limitless Heavenly Ship, King of the Deep Sea
In the harbor of Sacred Leaf Town, there was a giant ship. It was said to be a giant ship because there really wasn't a suitable word to describe the ship's size. The largest aircraft carrier that had ever been seen in the surface world was placed in front of this ship. It was like a newborn civet cat being inferior to an adult tiger.
From the bow to the stern, it was more than ten kilometers long, and the cabins within were hundreds of feet tall. The carved beams and painted buildings were extremely luxurious. The four horns were carved with exotic beast totems. They were Xiaofeng, Yanhuang, Xuezhai, and Yaoyu. The four exotic beasts had their own meanings. The first three were Dragon Child exotic beasts, well-known and often used in buildings. Only the last type of fish was exclusive to ships at sea. This thing was interesting because it liked to take fire prevention as its own responsibility.
The ship had only a symbolic mast and no sails. Cyrus said that the power system of the Everlasting Heavenly Ship was provided by more than a dozen giant wind magic arrays engraved on the ship's hull. Alchemists from the Federation worked together to draw it, and the energy needed to operate the magic arrays depended on spirit jade. A mid-grade spirit jade could travel for five hundred li, which was a shocking consumption.
What surprised Gu Tianyou the most was that the dragon bone of the Limitless Heavenly Ark was actually a beam made of logs. The Zhao Clan in Sunset City was good at making magic treasures, while the Yang Clan in the same camp was even better at building battleships. This Limitless Heavenly Ship was a rare item produced by the Yang Clan Shipyard. The entire ship was completely wooden in structure, connected by mortise and tenon, and didn't need a single iron nail.
Apart from its enormous shape, complex and exquisite workmanship, and rare materials, there was another thing that opened Gu Tianyou's eyes.
There were over a thousand magic arrays engraved all over the ship. Apart from the dozen or so giant wind magic arrays that provided power, there were also dozens of fire magic arrays that served as the ship's weapon system. In addition, in order to improve the comfort of the voyage, the ship was also engraved with life-type magic arrays to nurture plants and raise livestock in captivity. There were nearly a hundred small water-type magic formations on the ship. As long as one used low-grade spirit jades to lightly touch them, they would be able to produce an endless stream of fresh water. Inside each room, there was a light magic array arranged according to the size of the room. Without exception, spirit jades were also needed to provide energy.
These magic arrays had the same effect as the divine kingdom's runic arrays. They were all methods of communicating with the elemental energy between heaven and earth through mysterious diagrams. Although its power is slightly inferior, it is more strict and scientific, and the requirements for users are much lower. But also more convenient. Xin Jisi said that the Yang Clan had paid a huge price to obtain those alchemists who were proficient in engraving magic arrays.
Such a colossus sailing on the sea was simply a moving city. Without anyone's introduction, one could imagine that the ship must have carried a large amount of supplies. Gu Tianyou was curious as to how much preparation Xin Jisi, the leader of the Federation's number one merchant group, had made for the Divine Capital Grand Meeting. At the same time, he wanted to know the price of such a ship.
Xin Jisi was willing to work tirelessly to clear up Gu Tianyou's doubts.
The ship was divided into three stages. The first stage was below the deck. From bottom to top, there were a total of 200 floors. It was mainly filled with living goods that were loved by the nobles of the Divine Kingdom. There were also some rooms for the people in charge of caring for these federal monsters. In the middle of the cabin was the control department. Apart from replacing the spirit jades for the dozen or so wind magic arrays, it was also responsible for managing the ship's weapon system. The members living here were basically noble children and members of the Guardian Corps.
The stern part of the ship had a large amount of supplies, and a large part of the area had been opened up as a place for entertainment. Apart from catering services, there are also beast fighting performances, opera and dance dramas, warriors' battles, various baths and special services for both sexes.
Xin Jisi said the Yang family would not sell the ship, but would accept some special relationship offers to provide customized services. The cost of such a large Limitless Heavenly Ark was roughly fifty cubic meters of high-grade spirit jade. But normally, such strategic-level resources are not used in transactions. Therefore, they needed to be converted into mid-grade spirit jades or even low-grade spirit jades, rare materials and gold coins as trading currencies.
Fifty cubes of high-grade spirit jade could buy such a big boat? Gu Tianyou found it a bit unbelievable. He remembered that Mr. Chen had once given him a token saying that with this token, he could withdraw fifty cubes of mid-grade spirit jade from any Hundred Herb Hall in the entire Axis World at any time. In the past, Gu Tianyou's understanding of the relationship between money and spirit jade was limited, and his concept was rather vague. At this moment, he suddenly realized that this high-grade spirit jade was precious and rare. He couldn't help but think of how generous the Chen Clan was.
Xin Jisi said that the Radiant Sacred Armor she wore was powered by high-grade spirit jades. Without high-grade spirit jades, this armor that was famous for being equivalent to a tenth-grade defensive magic treasure would be useless. As a commodity currency, the value of high-grade spirit jade can not reflect the real value of this item at all. Only when it was used as the source of power for a magic treasure, or when it was used to replenish a cultivator's elemental energy, would it be of true value. The more precious Super Grade Spirit Jade was considered to be the exclusive strategic resource of great figures at the Utmost Saint level and above.
The last time Gu Tianyou sent Li Chen to deal with Xin Jisi for a hundred cubes of high-grade spirit jade, he didn't pay much attention to this deal. High-grade spirit jades weren't particularly rare in the Primordial Chaos Realm. Gu Tianyou didn't take it too seriously. However, after seeing this ship, he suddenly realized that the Ancestral Mountain Spirit Jade in the Primordial Chaos Realm was a particularly important strategic resource.
In the Federation, many top-grade strategic weapons were closely combined with magic formations. Some of them were extremely special and could even display the power of a Level 12 forbidden spell, easily destroying a city. Weapons of this level required high-grade spirit jades to be activated. Therefore, although the value of high-grade spirit jade as currency was not particularly high, it was extremely valuable as a strategic resource. The amount of this item was limited. As long as there was a chance to obtain it, even if the price was far higher than the market price, it was still worth it.
Considering that the development of the Primordial Chaos Realm had reached a bottleneck, Gu Tianyou immediately decided not to use high-grade spirit jades as bargaining chips in the future. Even spirit jades had to be carefully traded.
As the Wind Magic Array circulated, the Limitless Heavenly Ship instantly became extremely light and agile. Driven by the wind, it quickly sailed on the sea, and its lightweight speed felt as if it was going to soar to the ninth level of the heavens. According to Xin Jisi, if it was necessary, as long as the power source was high-grade spirit jade and more than a dozen wind magic arrays operated at the same time, the ship could really fly into the sky. At that time, Gu Tianyou said that I would provide a piece of high-grade spirit jade to take this ship to the sky for fun?
Xin Jisi says flying consumes a hundred times as much energy as sailing at sea. If you have any extra high-grade spirit jades, you can trade them to me.
Gu Tianyou naturally refused and rejected with a smile.
On this day, more than half a month had passed since he left the port of Sacred Leaf Town. Gu Tianyou's curiosity towards this Limitless Heavenly Ship had already been satisfied. At this moment, Gu Tianyou stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the boundless sea. He thought to himself, "Now that the two worlds are connected, I wonder if this sea is connected?" The space of the Axis World was obviously much larger than that of the Earth's surface world. Just this boundless sea was not something that the ocean of the Earth's surface world could compare to.
They had been sailing continuously for half a month, and under the impetus of the wind magic array, their speed was actually very fast. They traveled 3,000 miles a day and traveled tens of thousands of miles, but they still hadn't walked out of the Northern Sea. Along the way, they saw strange scenery, moving Turtle Dragon Island, the Shark race known as the Spirit of the Sea Race, strange fish and exotic beasts appearing from time to time, and even after entering the Storm Sea Region, they discovered that there were large demon-level sea demons following them.
The small fish and shrimp were casually sent away by the Everlasting Heavenly Ship's own weapon system. This kind of sea demon was huge, some even bigger than the Everlasting Heavenly Ship, so it wouldn't be so easy to send it off. In the past two days, Gu Tianyou had put a lot of energy into sensing the movements of the sea demon.
Xin Jisi walked over and reminded him that the Storm Sea region was the most dangerous sea area in the North Sea region. There were many Great Demon level sea demons occupying this region. The other Three-Eyed Great Saint's sworn brothers, Great Saint Oolong of the Sea, were ordered to stay in the Storm Sea region. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is best to take a detour. Avoiding the core area of the Storm Sea, he continued his journey to the capital south through the Windless Belt, only that it would take him a few days.
In the past half a month, apart from the first three days, Gu Tianyou had basically stopped her from asking questions, and the two of them had basically no chance to see each other at any other time.
As long as Gu Tianyou had time, he would hide in the Primordial Chaos Realm and stimulate Hu Mofei's memories. Xin Jisi, on the other hand, had gathered with Augustus and the young nobles of the Federation who had participated in the capital's grand gathering.
Augustus' grandson was extremely afraid of Gu Tianyou. He stayed in the stern cabin day and night to enjoy the music and dance. He didn't dare to come to the middle cabin. He was afraid that Gu Tianyou would crash into him and lose the face of his crown prince.
As for the others, Di Haoran and Huang Yong were both cultivation madmen, and they were not interested in anything in the outside world. As soon as they went out to sea, they entered the Primordial Chaos Realm to cultivate in seclusion.
Little Fox Maiden could not stand Xin Jisi always pretending to come and pester Gu Tianyou unintentionally, so she simply hid in the Origin World to accompany Myskina.
After Leonardo was reborn, he focused all his attention on the direction of the snow cave, but the progress of the matter was not what he wanted. Myskina only focused on cultivation and was not interested in him.
Trump and Richson spent every day in the Warriors' Arena, fighting either the federal beasts on board or the demonic barbarian gladiators from the Fuehrer's Laboratory.
Everyone was busy with their own things, only Ao Guang had always accompanied them. Just like that, they floated peacefully on the sea for half a month. It wasn't until Gu Tianyou sensed that the Limitless Heavenly Ark was being targeted that this ordinary day ended.
"A detour?" Gu Tianyou turned around and said, "Do you think this is necessary?"
"It's just to avoid unnecessary trouble," Xin Jisi said. "Anyway, I won't be able to delay attending the Divine Capital Grand Meeting for a few more days."
"But why should we walk for a few more days?" Gu Tianyou smiled and questioned, "For the little ink fish that followed us for two days under the seabed?"
"That's not some tiny ink dou yu, but one of the most terrifying demonic beasts in the entire North Sea, the King of the Deep Sea!" Xin Jisi introduced, "This demon is very famous in the North Sea. Its main body is a huge octopus. The Deep Sea King means that in this deep sea, it is an invincible king."
Gu Tianyou smiled and said, "It's fine if it keeps following us like this. If it dares to attack us …"
"Then catch it and eat it!" "These sea demons only have big bodies," Ao Guang said murderously. "What sea demons are she exaggerating? The sea demons in the entire North Sea are all subordinates of my uncle, Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea, and it is no exception!" As expected of the daughter of the sea, the second generation of officials in the sea was confident enough to speak once they arrived at the sea.
Gu Tianyou noticed that Ao Guang coldly glanced at Xin Jisi as he said this with undisguised hatred.
The Little Princess of the Dragon Race, like Little Fox Girl, disliked Xin Jisi But it's not about jealousy. If he wanted to be jealous and compete for favor, this opponent would not be Xin Jisi. In fact, ever since Hu Mofei was found, Gu Tian You had put most of his attention on her. As Gu Tianyou's Primordial Dao companion, the little princess of the Dragon Race had not only not bothered about it, she had even helped Gu Tianyou take care of Hu Mofei more than once.
"Ao Shun is just a lackey of the Divine Kingdom Imperial Court." Xin Jisi said in a disdainful tone, "The so-called Four Seas Dragon King is only an infinite green Heavenly Dragon King. The other three insects wore the hat of the Supreme Saint Demon in vain, all of them bones-less cowards."
Ao! ! !
Just as she finished speaking, a beast roar suddenly came from under the deep blue sea water, and then the sea suddenly boiled over like a pot.
