Cultivation Starts from Killing Pigs-Chapter 341 - 298: Starship Takes Flight, Black Hand Strikes

Chapter 341: Chapter 298: Starship Takes Flight, Black Hand Strikes

"It... It’s rising!"

Watching the framework of the starship ascend into the sky like a silver-boned dragon, a white-clothed Feathered Scholar from the Profound Pavilion trembled with excitement.

His name was Cheng An, a cultivator from Jiangzhou, skilled in artifact refining but with limited talent in cultivation, having halted at Avoiding Grain, only to find his true calling upon entering the Profound Pavilion.

"Floating starship, traveling the universe, traversing the nine heavens, crossing the Milky Way..."

An elderly Feathered Scholar with snow-white hair also turned red with excitement, unable to resist quoting some verses.

Even though Zhang Kui dealt with beings soaring through the sky daily, in reality, only those in the Celestial Tribulation Realm could fly over land, while those in the Divine Travel Realm could command artifacts over great distances, already considered top cultivators.

Both commoners and lower-tier cultivators gazed at the sky, their imaginations running wild.

Flight is one of the simplest joys on the path of cultivation, especially when the vessel is called a starship, destined to explore the star sea in the future.

The Profound Pavilion cultivators on site could hardly contain their excitement; some clapped in awe, while others gesticulated wildly.

Zhang Kui was in a good mood too, even though countless Shefu Skill simulations were done, they didn’t expect it to work on the first try.

But as it is the first generation, it still has quite a few shortcomings.

For example, the core power, the Yin Yang True Fire origin, is not strong enough to match the Yin Yang Ball effect from Profound Yin Mountain, thus it mimics the Dragonbone Divine Ship, requiring absorption of a large amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi during flight.

Then there’s the limitation issue; considering the simultaneous operation of the Golden Soul Suppressing Tower and the newly designed Magical Artifact, a two-hundred-meter starship is already the limit.

Of course, reaching space is still just a dream.

Zhang Kui waved to stop the cheering, smiling as he said, "Next up are the three main external modules: the Golden Soul Suppressing Tower, the Yin Yang Divine Fire Array, and the Fire God Cannon..."

Given the current focus on underworld operations, the starship is designed to be quite basic.

The Golden Soul Suppressing Tower is certainly indispensable.

Without the golden shield of the Dragonbone Divine Ship, it can still use the power of the Yin Yang True Fire to lay down a Yin Yang Divine Fire Defense Array.

Perhaps the only thing that stands out is the Fire God Cannon, which, using the characteristics of Yin Yang True Fire, can fire Cold Ice Karmic Fire, True Sun Fire, and the most destructive Yin Yang True Fire.

Of course, the stronger the power, the longer the charging time required.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Zhang Kui began refining the Golden Soul Suppressing Tower.

Soon, above Siling Mountain, resembling a glazed treasure tower, dark clouds gathered, and thunder and lightning flashed.

The other treasure of the Underworld is those Soul Suppressing Towers that remain operational and have transformed into Ancient Artifacts.

Though each transformation is different, none comparable to that treasured by the Spiritual Sect, these are already qualified materials for crafting Magical Treasures.

In the Underworld, refining couldn’t trigger a Celestial Tribulation, yet now, thunderclouds roiled.

Below Siling Mountain, a vast oasis with numerous rivers, the people of Shazhou gathered here, living prosperously. In one year, the birth rate matched that of the past century.

In the great cities surrounded by oasis, the sound of schools resonated, and bustling bazaars flourished with commerce, frequent trade, and with the unusual phenomenon of celestial lightning, people all looked up and discussed.

"Is this... a Celestial Tribulation?"

"Nonsense, when the third son of the Bolun Family crossed his tribulation, I watched from afar, it was never this spectacular!"

"Then what is it?"

"You two really talk too much, have you forgotten Sect Leader Zhang is on the mountain, even if Immortals gather, this old man wouldn’t find it strange..."

"Yes, yes, Uncle Sang, you’re so knowledgeable, after all, your daughter was chosen for the Yellow Pavilion."

"Haha, it’s a trivial matter, nothing worth mentioning, hahaha..."

In the distance, dark thunderclouds suppress the sky, yet the people remain unafraid, chatting and gossiping.

In the crowd, a man with a weathered face, his head wrapped in a turban, looked up, deep in thought.

Soon, he glanced around, then hurriedly turned and left, heading into an inn courtyard, returning to his room.

He approached the table, wiped his bronze bracelet on his wrist a few times, and a piece of Ink Jade Plate appeared in his hand, his eyes flickering with Ghost Fire as he infused it with Divine Sense.

Meanwhile, on a high wall several hundred meters opposite the inn, two figures suddenly appeared: an Earth Pavilion black-clothed Profound Guard with a weasel on his shoulder.

The other wore Bronze Battle Armor with gray scales and fangs on his face; though devoid of presence, it felt like a vast ocean, the Celestial Pavilion Great Demon guarding this place.

"That’s the one..."

With a hint of coldness in his eyes, the Great Demon said, "The Divine Path Network records this person entered the barrier from Quanzhou, managing to hide in Shazhou under my watch for several months; how did you discover him?"

The black-clothed Profound Guard respectfully replied, "Reporting to the Venerate, I was ordered to protect the reincarnated infant of the Lanjiang Water Mansion’s old Mansion Master, and this person was caught spying by Huang Liu."

As he spoke, the little weasel on his shoulder obsequiously bowed.

"Well done."

The Celestial Pavilion Great Demon nodded with satisfaction, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes as he turned into a wisp of black smoke that silently fell into the inn.

Nowadays, across the four corners of the Divine Continent, there are no external enemies; this person harbors ulterior motives and must be captured alive for questioning.

"Mahayana!"

Inside the inn room, faced with the sudden appearance of the Great Demon, the middle-aged man was terrified, green fire flickered in his eyes, and shadows trembled behind him.

Watching this, the Great Demon became even more furious, "Audacious! The Divine Dynasty strictly forbids Yin Souls from possession; who on earth are you!"

With that, a sharp claw swiped, extracting a Yin Soul shrouded in black smoke from the man’s body.

"Spare me, my lord!"

The Yin Soul twisted in the Great Demon’s grasp, "I am an envoy from the Huo Continent of the Southern Continent. Unable to enter the Divine Land Barrier, I resorted to this strategy..."
