Journey to the head

In fact, it cannot be said that the two Starry Sky Mighty Divine Ships were built completely independently by the Yunshan Sect.

Its base is the two Chibao Thunder Boats that the Yunshan Sect obtained from the spoils of the Sikong family.

The technology of the Champion-class airship is far more profound than one might imagine. The power system, drive system, spiritual power transmission system, sail auxiliary system and even the hull structure have undergone tremendous changes.

Even with the complete set of blueprints from the Sikong family, the Yunshan School did not start the transformation and reconstruction of the Chibao Thunder Boat until it had fully mastered the technology of the Commander-class airship and completed the construction of the Feiji Zhengyuan Shenzhou.

It took twenty years to completely rebuild the two Chibao Thunder Boats, turning them into the Yunshan Sect's mighty and powerful divine ships.

This Shenzhou ship is huge in size and has strong survivability. It has active protection array, passive protection dome armor, and blocking isolation chamber. Even if it suffers severe damage somewhere, each part of the ship can still maintain relatively independent combat power.

However, due to its huge size and weight, even with the addition of a powerful power system, the Xinghuan Weiyuan Shenzhou's speed in normal mode is only about a thousand miles per hour.

If you want to speed up again, you have to -

The bright starlight shone around Shenzhou like a silver river, and even the dazzling afternoon sun could not suppress it.

The source of the starlight came from the huge ship's hull, with one end buried in the cabin and the other end extending outside the hull armor, forming a thick and short silver spike.

At this moment, the sound of fierce war drums sounded. Following the drumbeats, the Yunshan disciples in the cabin had already formed a formation and sat cross-legged. The Vast Sea Star Battle Formation began to operate. The starlight surged like a tide, flowing along the silver giant spikes to the outside of the ship, lingering around the ship and surging on all sides, like waves supporting the ship.

This huge ship with a wide deck and three-story cabins is flying rapidly in the glow of the starry sea!
"When approaching the battlefield, as long as the Vast Sea Star Battle Formation is activated, the power of the formation can be used to allow the Starry Sky Mighty Divine Ship to escape at a speed of 3,000 miles per hour! This is three times the speed in normal mode!"

Lu Qian's mind moved. It turned out that the secret of the power of this champion-class airship was that it could use the various mechanisms, transmission systems, coordination arrays and other designs in the giant ship to break through the limitations of the Vast Sea Star Battle Array itself.

The more people there are in the Vast Sea Star Battle Formation, the more difficult it is to achieve resonance at the same frequency, and the longer it takes to achieve fusion. If the number of people increases after reaching 600, the difficulty of fusion will increase rapidly, and it will not be able to be used in practice on the battlefield. Therefore, the Yunshan School fixed the number of combat teams at 600.

But now, the 2,400 disciples in the Xinghuan Weiyuan Shenzhou can actually form a formation quickly, merge the power of the Vast Sea Star Array together, and transmit it outside the ship!
The fusion of two thousand four hundred disciples created such a powerful force that they barely touched the edge of the Nascent Soul stage!

If there is another combat brigade in Weiyuan Shenzhou, when it reaches 3,000 people, it will be able to reach the early Nascent Soul stage!

In addition, the Xinghuan Weiyuan Shenzhou itself is equipped with a new large-caliber spiritual power main gun, side rapid-fire guns, close-in defense guns, floating mines, and sky-hunting torpedoes.
The destructive power that can be caused on the battlefield must be higher than that of the early Nascent Soul stage!
That’s right! From the original design point of view, ordinary airships are targeted at Qi training monks, elite airships are targeted at foundation building, commander-level airships are targeted at golden elixir, and champion-level airships are naturally targeted at Yuanying!

Further up there are the Overlord-class and Realm-class airships, which Lu Qian has only seen in Meng Chi’s memory and during those ancient wars.

Of course, airships serve the wars of monks. They are of different types, models, and design concepts. The so-called benchmark is just a vague statement. If we use the five-dimensional map of "attack, defense, control, escape speed, and life" to roughly measure, the five data of ordinary monks are relatively balanced, but airships are likely to be very weak in one aspect, far below the standard, but very strong in another aspect, far exceeding the standard.

For example, the Yunshan School's elite Lingxu Zhenyuan Shenzhou, before its comprehensive transformation and upgrade, had a speed of only half of that of an ordinary foundation-building ship, but relying on eighty spiritual power cannons, its destructive power could far exceed that of an ordinary foundation-building ship.

The commander-level Feiji Zhengyuan Shenzhou has a slightly slower escape speed than the Jindan, but its defense capability and melee damage exceed that of the Jindan.

If the champion-level Xinghuan Weiyuan Shenzhou can be fully loaded with 3,000 disciples, although its escape speed can only reach two-thirds of that of an ordinary Nascent Soul, its destructive power and ability to withstand blows are stronger than those of an ordinary Nascent Soul.

For example, the Danxia Sect's leader-level Red Fire Flowing Light Boat has a very strong instant acceleration ability, and it can break through the air and shuttle, and it can actually be compared with the Nascent Soul! However, its attack and defense capabilities are relatively poor.

Afterwards, Xinghuan Weiyuan Shenzhou displayed other attack modes. The power of the stars condensed into a sea, forming a dreamy and hazy star power light shield, and then split into a giant star blade that spanned the sky, cutting through the clouds with one blow, leaving a mark on the sky, and finally, dense star spears fell like a violent storm, setting off a huge explosion in the cold river.

Immediately afterwards, various spiritual light cannons and booby-trapped torpedoes were unleashed, demonstrating their saturation strike capabilities at three distances: long, medium and short. The rumbling noises and beams of light across the sky made the nearby subordinate sects awed.

Finally, the Weiyuan Shenzhou shook slightly, and the armor on the bottom of the ship flipped open, revealing a dark hole, and rows of small Taoist soldiers flew out from the hole.

The "Spirit Snake No. 3" is a small combat Taoist soldier that was improved and manufactured based on the "Spirit Snake No. 2" fifty years ago!
"Now, our three types of airships, Yunshan Lingxu Zhenyuan, Feiji Zhengyuan and Xinghuan Weiyuan, are all equipped with the 'Spirit Snake III'."

Tao Boliang introduced.

"Zhenyuan Shenzhou can carry ten Lingshe-3s, Zhengyuan Shenzhou can carry fifty, and Weiyuan Shenzhou can carry three hundred!"

"Spirit Snake No. 3" is Tao Zhongxian's masterpiece. It has all the technology of his flying snake test machine, but it is limited by the material, so its power is a little weaker. However, the killer "blazing fire and bright light" still has strong power. Thirty of them can penetrate the defense magic weapon of ordinary golden elixir if they are launched at the same time.

Tao Boliang continued, "The Weiyuan Shenzhou can carry 3,000 monks, which is much lower than the original Chibao Leizhou's 4,000 monks. This is because the empty space has been transformed into the hangar of the 'Spirit Snake No. 3'."

Lu Qian looked at the huge ship soaring in the sky, feeling very proud.

Our Yunshan Sect has also entered the era of “big ships and big cannons”!
It was at this time that he suddenly realized that he had been narrow-minded and underestimated the importance of the airship. If the Sikong family had not chosen to raid the Xuanwei Sect and try to behead Miaomiao Xuanjun, the five Red Castle Thunder Boats would have caused great damage on the battlefield.

If it appeared in front of them, the damage suffered by Yunshan Sect would probably be more than doubled.

Of course, the Yunshan Sect was not strong enough and had a low status in the past. The few wars it experienced now seem to be minor skirmishes, and it has never had an all-out head-on battle with the Yuanying Sect.

Fortunately, we have obtained all the classics and legacy of the Sikong family, as well as our own collection of books and Xuanwei School's blueprints. Now the Yunshan School has overtaken others and has its own elite, commander-in-chief, and champion-class airship. We don't have to grow in blood and tears after suffering a great loss. Fortunately!
Moreover, in the Baoguang Realm, Lu Qian also obtained all the classics of Tianzhao Palace and Baiyujing, including the blueprints of the floating ship! The highest level also has the champion level, which can provide reference for the Yunshan School to continue to improve and upgrade.

When Xinghuan Weiyuan Shenzhou landed, Lu Qian asked casually, "How many spirit crystals will Weiyuan Shenzhou consume if it fires at full power like this?"

The group suddenly fell silent. Lu Qian turned around in confusion and saw Tao Boliang looking a little embarrassed.

"In addition to the disciples in Shenzhou activating the Vast Sea Star Battle Formation, which consumes their own spiritual power, the other cannons, thunder, various means of attack, defense, and flight, plus the consumption of the small Taoist soldiers of 'Spirit Snake No. 3', it takes about a thousand spiritual crystals to fire at full power for an hour."

? !
In Lu Qian’s heart, a river of spiritual stones was rushing away.

My two spirit stone mines only produce 5,000 spirit crystals a year, and now this champion airship costs 1,000 per hour!
Even if I convert all the dividends from the four major markets into spiritual crystals, there will only be 13,000 pieces a year, which is only enough for Weiyuan Shenzhou to fight for one day!
War is all about logistics, and that’s absolutely true.

There is also the consumption of Zhenyuan Shenzhou and Zhengyuan Shenzhou...

It was only now that the world was peaceful and there was no war. If a large-scale, long-term war really broke out, Yunshan's rich family assets would be exhausted one day. Lu Qian had no choice but to turn his head and said to Xie Yongchang: "The Management Department still needs to work hard."

Xie Yongchang smiled bitterly and nodded.

Now, in order to control the Weiyuan Shenzhou, the four combat teams gathered at Hanjiangzhu. Normally, the "Hanjiang" combat team is stationed here, and there are more than two Jindan real people stationed here.

After inspecting the situation of the garrison, he left Hanjiangzhu and met with the head of the Zhou family, Changji Zhenren Zhou Yuan, as well as the family elder, Shengyi Zhenren Zhou Ang, and Xianyou Sect's Guanwen Zhenren Liu Gu Shou.

The Zhou family once had Zhou Chao who was acquainted with Lu Qian, and the Xianyou School also laid the foundation of Lu Qian's formation. Moreover, the great-grandfather of the newly promoted Jindan Liu Gu Shou was Liu Muchi, who had saved Li Da and Wang Ruoyu during the shocking changes in the Shenjiao Sect.

Recalling the past, I felt overwhelmed with sorrow. I drank five cups of spiritual tea, but there were still many things I hadn't said.

Lu Qian also went to Zhou Chao's tomb to pay homage. Next to Zhou Chao's tomb, there are two other tombs, one for Zhou Chao's wife and the other for his only son, Zhou An.

Zhou Chao's wife only had the ability to cultivate Qi and failed to build a foundation, so she died before Zhou Chao. Zhou An, who had no spiritual roots, died long ago, and died before Zhou Chao and his wife.

Zhou Chao's wife had a gentle personality, but Zhou An. Lu Qian only remembered him as a child with a round head, round eyes and dark skin.

"Lu Qian is an incredible hero. He must have a way to cure me and help me grow spiritual roots."

But I am not a hero. I cannot make you grow spiritual roots, nor can I save your father.

Looking at the three tombs lined up together, Lu Qian was overwhelmed with emotions and stood there in a daze for a long time.

It was not until the sun was about to set that Lu Qian came to his senses and led everyone to set sail again.

Zhengyuan Shenzhou continued eastward and entered Xuantu County.

Here, there are four intermediate-level spiritual veins in Zangyingling, two third-level spiritual veins, and more than twenty second-level and first-level spiritual veins.

Lu Qian inspected the construction of Cangying Ridge and two third-level spiritual veins, as well as the mining of the spiritual stone mine in Xuantu County.

Cang Yingling is the base for the cultivation of spiritual seedlings of Xuantu County and Junle County, as well as the base for refining elixirs and talismans of the Yunshan School. It is also the base for the combat brigade "Mianlong", and there are more than two Jindans stationed there.

However, Xuantu County is full of mountains and ridges, and it is difficult for mortals to reproduce. The population is small, so relatively speaking, there are the fewest spiritual seedlings. Therefore, Lu Qian placed all the 300 spiritual seedlings in the Baoguang Realm here for cultivation. If he obtains spiritual seedlings from the Chaixin Small Realm in the future, they will basically be placed here.

The other two third-level spiritual veins, one is one of the weapon refining bases, and the other is one of the spiritual medicine planting bases.

The other second-level and first-level spiritual veins are either used to grow spiritual plants and medicines, or to raise spiritual grains and livestock, or to build border outposts.

After spending a night in Xuantu County, Lu Qian and his party headed east again in the early morning and entered Pinghu County where the mountain gate was located!
The endless mountains and forests suddenly disappeared, and before us was an endless vast plain.

There are abundant water systems, vast fertile land, and endless tracts of farmland. Cities, towns, and villages are scattered all over the place, with smooth roads connecting them to each other. It is obvious that this is a place with abundant resources and a prosperous people.

The Qinglian Zhenzong spent thousands of years of governance, and it took a lot of effort. It's a pity that the corpse chaos caused heavy damage, and it is still recovering.

Looking up again, looking into the distance at the horizon, there is a huge mountain range stretching for thousands of miles, towering into the clouds, looming.

This mountain range is sandwiched right in the middle of the vast plain of Pinghu County. The most majestic of them all, surrounded by white clouds that seem to touch the blue sky, is the Biluo Peak!

The gate of my mountain home is right in front of me!
But Lu Qian suppressed his excitement and first checked other spiritual veins in Pinghu County.

In Pinghu County, there are five lower-level spiritual veins in the Biluo Peak, two third-level spiritual veins, and more than twenty other second-level and first-level spiritual veins.

Among the three-level spiritual veins, a third-level high-level spiritual vein, Wuying Valley, has been built into a giant event hosting site. Arena No. 1 to No. 49 can host various arena competitions from Qi training to Yuanying level. The Chongming Alliance’s grand martial arts performance was just held here. The venue was magnificent and Lu Qian was amazed when he saw it.

Another level three intermediate spiritual vein, the Lotus Lake, is not far from the foot of the Blue Sky Peak. The lake is full of green lotuses and many aquatic creatures. It is currently one of the spiritual medicine planting bases of the Yunshan Sect.

In fact, the spiritual vein of Baolian Lake appeared earlier than Biluo Peak and Wuying Valley. This was also the location of the mountain gate of Qinglian Zhenzong before it became famous. Even the name of Qinglian Zhenzong was taken from Baolian Lake.

The uses of other second-level and first-level spiritual veins are the same as those in Xuantu County. They are all places for breeding spiritual plants and medicines, spiritual grains and spiritual livestock, as well as the locations of outposts.

After circling Pinghu County, around noon, the Feiji Zhengyuan Shenzhou flew at full speed and headed straight for the Biluo Peak!

Under the sunlight, every detail was clearly visible, and a majestic and verdant sacred mountain stood in front of Lu Qian.

The peaks stand tall and clear, the winding streams are deep and reach the ground, the flowers and trees on the mountain compete for beauty, and the pines and bamboos compete for greenness in some places. On the red cliffs, golden eagles soar into the clouds; in front of the steep cliffs, mountain kings roar. In the forest, there are longevity deer, and on the trees, there are magical birds. The rare flowers and plants never fade, and the green pines and cypresses are evergreen.

The spiritual mist that fills the mountains cannot be dispelled, this is a truly blessed place that will last forever!

This is the core of Yunshan Mountain Gate! The top leaders of Yunshan Sect are stationed here, and the "Bi Chao" combat team is also stationed here.

Lu Qian looked at it again and again, admiring it endlessly, his heart filled with joy and pride.

At this moment, the great formation broke open, and rays of light came out in an endless stream. A crowd of people was like the sea, and the disciples of Yunshan lined up in the air and bowed down together.

"Welcome the Master back to the mountain!"

Lu Qian's face was full of joy. He took a step forward. Suddenly, his mind moved and he looked up in surprise.

Tao Zhongxian, who was at the front of the crowd, also looked up in panic, only to see the sky change color and thunder explode! (End of this chapter)
