I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2528 - 1137: Sixth-Tier Treasure Ship (Part 2)

"Zhang Tai’an guided the surviving dozens of disciples, lingering in this location through the years, watching them die off one by one. As a Nascent Soul Cultivator, he endured as the final survivor, resolving to journey back to the Eastern Emperor Court in pursuit of answers..."

The diary concludes at this point.

Chen Mobai and his companions turned their eyes to the Yellow Dragon Treasure Ship, floating high in the sky. It had been the glory of the Imperial Court in its time, yet now it stood in ruins, the prow apparently utterly demolished, bearing obvious marks of metallic repairs, with some connections not fully sealed.

Those three fragments resembled the fractured backbone of the Yellow Dragon, while the breeze whistling across the lake caused the golden vessel to flicker weakly with subdued Spiritual Light.

"Zhang Tai’an left behind a full collection of the treasure ship’s designs here."

Following the hints from the diary, Shenxi discovered a locked chest in a dockside cabin, which Chen Mobai unlocked with Primordial True Qi, uncovering a multitude of closely arranged Jade Slips.

Within the thousands of Jade Slips lay not just the schematics for the Sixth Rank Yellow Dragon Treasure Ship, but also designs for Rank-1 through Rank-5 models in diverse forms.

This remote area, Wandering Mountain, served originally as a key treasure ship manufacturing hub for the Eastern Emperor Court, explaining the presence of these vital schematics, which proved more comprehensive than the archives held by the Dao Morale Sect and the Nine Heavens Morality Sect.

Yet, what left them disheartened was that the Six Dragon Treasure Ship designs covered only the Yellow Dragon.

"It’s unfortunate that restoring this Yellow Dragon Treasure Ship demands enormous resources; certain vital components even require Sixth Rank Spirit Material..."

Ni Yuanzhong eyed the designs with disappointment.

The resources for crafting a treasure ship, if used by an Artifact Refiner, could produce scores of Sixth Rank Magic Artifacts, a luxury afforded only during the Eastern Emperor Court’s golden age.

"The core Power Furnace of the treasure ship has truly been removed!" Meanwhile, Shenxi cross-referenced the designs, probing the heart of the Yellow Dragon Treasure Ship with Divine Sense, and let out a sigh.

The Power Furnace stood as the treasure ship’s most valuable element, and even with the full schematics available now, recreating it remained impossible.

For the Power Furnace equated to a Sixth Rank Magic Artifact and proved far more intricate, demanding a Sixth Rank Artifact Refiner’s skill to forge.

The Eastern Emperor Court’s Six Dragon Treasure Ships drew upon the finest Artifact Refiners from the Five Continents and Four Seas, with multiple Sixth Rank experts and numerous Fifth Rank ones collaborating on their construction.

During its zenith, the Eastern Emperor Court possessed just six Sixth Rank treasure ships, owing to the successful creation of only six Sixth Rank Power Furnaces.

Had it remained intact, Shenxi would have been ready to summon Dustless True Monarch to secure it, no matter the expense.

Lacking the Power Furnace, the box of Jade Slips emerged as the true treasure for these Deity Transformation True Monarchs.

"What’s our plan for this?"

Still, Chen Mobai overlooked the considerations of Shenxi and the rest. He gestured at the three segments of the Yellow Dragon Treasure Ship dangling from the crane, and having obtained the designs and learned of its components, he resolved to claim one, regardless of any embarrassment.

Though in the present state of the Eastern Continent, repairing this treasure ship was out of reach, the remnants qualified as at least Fifth Rank Spirit Material, some reaching Sixth Rank.

The Primordial Clock could assimilate Five Elements Essence, needing just more materials to advance to Sixth Rank Superior Grade, and these pieces would supply most of that.

Chen Mobai’s sole regret was that after millennia, the inherent spirituality of these materials had vanished entirely; had it not, he would have certainly broken it down to craft Magic Artifacts, equipping every Nascent Soul Cultivator in the Five Elements Sect with a Fifth Rank set.

"With Wandering Mountain falling under Chen Mobai’s domain, these items rightfully go to the Five Elements Sect as well."

Shenxi offered this with a smile.

Ni Yuanzhong paused briefly but raised no protest, simply agreeing with a nod.

The treasure ships abandoned at this site were mere scrap, with all salvageable parts long ago carried off to the East Land by the Xuan Guang Monarch.

Sure, some Rank-3 and Rank-4 treasure ships might be fixable, but they held no appeal for the Holy Lands of the Eastern Continent.

As for the Fifth Rank scrap treasure ships, their prime Power Furnaces had been stripped away, leaving behind debris that demanded extensive fixes.

Even armed with the designs now, they lacked the skilled personnel for repairs.

Such work called for at least a Fifth Rank Artifact Refiner to oversee, but the Fifth Rank Artifact Refiners from both the Nine Heavens Morality Sect and Dao Morale Sect specialized elsewhere, possessing only basic knowledge of treasure ships.

It was unclear how much time they might need to grasp the designs.

Handing the favor to Chen Mobai made more sense.

Da Kong True Monarch showed some reluctance, since even wreckage from a Sixth Rank treasure ship offered value for study at Taixu MiaoMiao Palace, yet with Shenxi and the others in accord, he gave his assent.

"I’d like to duplicate and carry back a set of these over three thousand Jade Slips to our headquarters."

Da Kong True Monarch voiced this request.

"That’s fine, though the inscriptions on the Jade Slips use ancient characters; I can bring them to the sect for translation, then provide you with copies,"

Shenxi responded, aiming to keep the original box of treasure ship designs. Given the Dao Morale Sect’s pair of deity transformations, no one present challenged this.

Naturally, Chen Mobai and the other two could also replicate the originals.

"As the top Artifact Refiner in the Eastern Continent, Chen Mobai, armed with these designs and Jade Slips, might revive some Fifth Rank treasure ships, giving us all a chance for future insights."

En route away, Shenxi shared this observation.

The primary motive behind this gesture was Shenxi’s belief that across the Eastern Continent, only Chen Mobai, as a Fifth Rank Artifact Refiner, held the promise to conquer these designs.

The ongoing tension with the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court marked a pivotal moment for the Five Elements Sect; bolstering their forces through this would bring immense benefits.

Leaving the border dock of Wandering Mountain and the damaged treasure ships behind would spur him to delve into their secrets.

"This belongs to all the Holy Lands of our Eastern Continent, and should I truly revive a Fifth Rank Power Furnace someday or construct a Fifth Rank treasure ship, I won’t hoard it. I pledge to share the knowledge openly with fellow cultivators on the Eastern Continent’s Righteous Path."

Chen Mobai stated this with gravity, realizing from the designs that assembling a treasure ship fleet or even a Sixth Rank treasure ship would demand the collective might of the Eastern Continent, beyond the Five Elements Sect’s solo efforts.

The sealed legacy gap in the Tianhe Realm might start to crack open here, gradually extending to other fields.

"Your selflessness inspires me deeply."

Da Kong True Monarch voiced his sincere praise after hearing Chen Mobai’s pledge.

He reflected that this truly embodied the Saintly Virtue Great Dao, with such vision and mindset unseen in his millennium of life.

It shone almost too brightly.

Prior to their exit, Shenxi and his group broke down a Fifth Rank scrap treasure ship, stowing its inactive, damaged Power Furnace in their storage bag, planning to return it to the sect for Artifact Refiners to examine with the designs.

Should the efforts yield nothing, storing it in the treasury for future legacy would still serve well.

Chen Mobai couldn’t help feeling a twinge of reluctance. He hadn’t yet devised a repair method, but trusted that Cheng Xuan and Yuan Xu would uncover a solution.

Even so, having secured the biggest gains, he opted to overlook Shenxi and the others’ moves.

"Sect Master Chen, we entrust this border front to your care. Upon my return, I’ll move quickly to convince the sect elders to dispatch the Azure Blue Essence Crystal."

In parting, Shenxi aimed to bolster Chen Mobai’s confidence, aware that the looming peril from the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court would soon rest on his shoulders.

"As long as I stand here, that ancient flood dragon won’t touch the shoreline!"

Chen Mobai stood firm, vowing to repel the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court from the waves, if only to protect Wandering Mountain’s Sixth Rank Spirit Vein rooted below.
