Chapter 330: Completely Out of Line, Stealing My Credit (Part 2)
If there really is an enemy that the Tianhe Sect cannot deal with, wouldn't they think about eliminating it completely?
By then, might they have to beg Zheng Fa to maintain his stance, to protect them, or rather, protect Yan Wushuang?
Xie Qingxue suddenly looked up at Elder Han, knowing Elder Han was revealing his intentions:
No matter whether Zheng Fa decides to intervene or not, Elder Han seems to be... prepared to live and die with the sect. But now he still wants to struggle a bit, perhaps to pave a way of retreat for his own junior brother?
"After all, I am this boy's Guardian," Elder Han said, shaking his head.
"Additionally, if something happens to the Tianhe Sect, its legacy must not be broken."
"Perhaps the new hope for the Tianhe Sect lies in this boy Yan Wushuang."
Xie Qingxue was a bit dazed.
Yan Wushuang?
Based on him?
Are you kidding!
"His aptitude is quite good, and now he has learned the 'Jiushan Golden Core Method,' and he has a good relationship with Zheng Fa..." Elder Han listed Yan Wushuang's advantages one by one, "Mainly, this boy has a personality that wins people over."
"Although simple in personality, he can be described as upright. Maybe the Tianhe Sect under this boy's leadership can truly live up to the name of the Ancestor Master's successor..."
It must be said, these advantages are indeed possessed by Yan Wushuang.
Especially the ability to win people over.
As the senior sister of the Tianhe Sect, she might not necessarily have better relationships within the sect than Yan Wushuang — which is, of course, due to her being bound by secrets and not forming close bonds with people.
Yet, Yan Wushuang's good rapport is widely acknowledged within the sect.
But... thinking of the Yan Wushuang she watched growing up suddenly becoming the hope of the new Tianhe Sect...
She wrinkled her nose, showing some disdain.
...
As for Elder Han wanting to join the Heavenly Craft Pavilion, Zheng Fa approved it quickly.
After all, the Heavenly Craft Pavilion now has little time and heavy tasks; the only one capable enough is Lady Xuanhua. For one, the old man is at the Nascent Soul stage, and for another, he still has some skills in artifact refining.
After signing some contracts... confidentiality agreements, Elder Han finally learned what the Heavenly Craft Pavilion was up to.
"Shenxiao Warship fleet?"
He stared blankly at the design schematics in his hands, his eyes nearly popping out.
"Using the Shenxiao Warship to form an Immortal Formation?"
"With the goal of attacking Nascent Soul cultivators?"
Lady Xuanhua looked at him brightly, full of anticipation in her gaze: "This is an idea from a disciple of the Heavenly Craft Pavilion. I think it has some merit... preparing to give the Sect Leader a surprise."
Merit?
What's so meritful about this!
Your Jiushan Sect, quite unreasonable!
The Shenxiao Warship essentially relies on the Shenxiao Outer Pill...
According to Elder Han's understanding, the operator of the Shenxiao Warship does not even need to be at the Golden Core stage; equipped with enough Foundation Establishment cultivators is sufficient.
Understanding being able to confront the Golden Core is feasible.
But you actually intend to use the Shenxiao Warship to fight Nascent Soul cultivators?
That means a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators can use this contraption to overpower a Nascent Soul!
Those bold words from several Foundation Establishment disciples, although he wasn't repulsed by them, he didn't quite believe it and just felt these disciples were ambitious, something to be envied...
Who knew they were serious!
He didn't know if Zheng Fa would be surprised, but he was certainly shocked.
But it must be said, theoretically, he couldn't find anything majorly wrong with the design plan:
The Shenxiao Warship amounts to an outer elixir cultivator.
With the most basic Immortal Formation Skill, a fleet group of twenty-four Shenxiao Warships can constitute a formation with Nascent Soul might.
He can now understand why Zheng Fa, despite having Shenxiao Mining Ships and a Spiritual Material Transformation Factory, feels the spiritual materials are still insufficient — for this Shenxiao Warship fleet requires a tremendous amount of spiritual materials.
"What's the problem now?"
"Not sure..." Lady Xuanhua sighed somewhat helplessly, "Maybe because the outer elixir is ultimately different from a cultivator's Golden Core, affecting the formation of the Immortal Formation."
"Or perhaps the Immortal Formation Skill is still not fully perfected..."
"Or maybe it's due to our insufficient abilities in artifact refining."
"Our Jiushan Sect really has... insufficient foundations."
After speaking, Lady Xuanhua looked at Elder Han expectantly, full of flattery:
"But the Tianhe Sect, being one of the Five Sects, indeed has deeper foundations than us..."
Cold sweat appeared on Elder Han's forehead.
He might be from one of the Five Sects, but the Five Sects don't have something so extreme.
"Uh... I need to go back and research, research."
Elder Han couldn't very well say he hadn't understood what the Shenxiao Warship was about, which truly would be embarrassing, so he had to make excuses.
Back at the guest pavilion, speaking to Xie Qingxue, he adjusted his mindset:
"To be honest, I see Lady Xuanhua is extremely interested in this thing. If we truly perfect this, it should have significant use for the Jiushan Realm..."
Xie Qingxue also showed some agreement on her face.
Not just for the Jiushan Sect, but for the Tianhe Sect, this contraption would have considerable utility.
"And indeed, Lady Xuanhua is correct. After all, we are one of the Five Sects, with deeper foundations than the Jiushan Sect..."
"This achievement, it seems, should be ours to claim."
Zhang knew Elder Han's confidence was not unfounded — as one of the Five Sects, even without Haori Mountain which specializes in artifact refining.
The Heavenly Craft Pavilion might have some novel ideas, but speaking practically, your Jiushan Sect's efforts over a few years can hardly compare to our Tianhe Sect's tens of thousands of years of accumulation.
...
In Chongxuan Sect at Divine Fire Mountain, Zheng Fa glanced at the mist at the mountain's summit, feeling slightly irritable.
Coming to Chongxuan Sect is indeed delaying matters; with endless issues in the Jiushan Realm, he still needs to cultivate, perfecting the 'Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation'...
Yet, Haori Mountain isn't foolish; investing such a substantial fortune certainly means possessing methods that can genuinely threaten himself or the Jiushan Realm.
Ignoring it isn't a good solution.
Letting others from Jiushan Sect deal with it isn't proper either:
