Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1409 - 1: Awakening of Ascension, Crossing Tribulation with the Boundary Boat, and the Desolate Domain Phenomenon!

Chapter 1409: Chapter 1: Awakening of Ascension, Crossing Tribulation with the Boundary Boat, and the Desolate Domain Phenomenon!

When Zhao Xing arrived, it was the Vice Hall Master, Holy Immortal, who came out to greet him.

"Divine Venerable Zhao." Holy Immortal still addressed Zhao Xing according to the custom of the Sect World.

"Holy Immortal." Zhao Xing followed suit, "Are you the one on duty today?"

"Indeed." Holy Immortal’s expression was indifferent, not out of any particular intention, but mainly because he was naturally reserved and not very talkative.

"Alright, let’s go inside and take a look."

"Wait a moment." Holy Immortal stopped them and then took out three helmets. "Put them on."

"We’re not going without them, are we?" Ye Yuxong said dumbfoundedly.

"Put them on." Holy Immortal had no extra words, but his attitude was clear – you wouldn’t proceed without them.

"Let’s put them on." Zhao Xing said with a smile, accepting them.

This protocol was something mentioned in passing when chatting with the Upper Immortal, who later had the Heavenly Realm people craft a batch of Mo Shou’s Helmets.

Unexpectedly, Holy Immortal was serving as the safety officer today.

"Why are they red, blue, and yellow, and round like a melon? They’re so ugly." Ye Yuxong mumbled while putting on the helmet.

"Would it kill you to say less?" King Shenluo retorted, "I’m in a Mechanical Puppet body right now and I’m wearing one, so what are you complaining about?"

"Alright then."

Zhao Xing and the group began inspecting the Heavenly Realm.

The purpose of Qitian Palace is similarly ascension, mainly because Hall Master Qitian desires to ascend, while the other ’Immortal’ is indifferent.

The Hall Master has long recruited experts and searched for ascension materials; he has many treasures here.

There were even quite a few existing warships meant to traverse the starry sky.

"Since thirty-five thousand years ago, I’ve used puppets to sail the warships, breaking through the Realm Wall of the Heavenly Realm and flying out." Qitian pointed to those dismantled warships, "But the largest one, ’Upper Immortal No.’, only flew out one and a half million miles before reaching its limit."

"I placed many simulated humans inside, but all were dead upon return."

"After trying many times, finding it hopeless, I went into hibernation."

Thirty-five thousand years ago?

The Hall Master is quite a long-lived soul.

However, compared to others, the Hall Master is still considered young.

Zhao Xing listened quietly.

"I once thought ascension in this life was hopeless, but didn’t expect to encounter such an opportunity." Compared to Holy Immortal, Qitian is very open, with a warm smile: "Only the vessel you’re constructing is too large, even with the entire Heavenly Realm’s strength poured in, we could only make three thousandths of it."

Zhao Xing said: "In a place like the Heavenly Realm, being able to gather one-thousandth of the materials for components is already quite commendable."

The vast Xuanhuang Realm has countless high-end materials, yet the Heavenly Realm has only three thousandths!

"I may not be a minister of Great Zhou, but I respect you, Grand Minister of Agriculture." Qitian looked at Zhao Xing and said, "According to Fate Immortal’s prophecy, we were supposed to wait much longer for that era, yet you manually revived it, expedited the subsequent revival rain."

"The Hall Master overpraises." Zhao Xing said, "Only by working together can we travel far in the universe."

Qitian nodded slightly: "Could you tell me how long we need to fly in the universe to find a stable resting place?"

Zhao Xing pondered: "If Qing Yu Zi’s star map is accurate and the Boundary Boat is built smoothly, it’s estimated to be five hundred to a thousand years."

"That long?" Qitian was stunned.

"It’s already quite short." Zhao Xing pointed at the Flying Boat and said: "The Xuanhuang Realm can’t construct Boundary Star-level Flying Boats, can only infinitely increase the Top-Grade Star Dao Weapon level."

"If it weren’t for Qing Yu Zi leaving part of the Boundary Boat’s power core, we would need about two thousand five hundred years."

Qitian was deep in thought and said: "It seems my past ideas were quite erroneous."

Even with a star map it takes this long, without it, a hundred thousand years would never reach.

"Time is neither long nor short." Zhao Xing smiled and said, "A few rounds of hibernation will get us through."

...

After finishing the Heavenly Realm patrol, Zhao Xing flew to another location: the Western Extreme Continent.

Qing Yu Zi’s relics also retained materials for the Boundary Boat.

A Ship Casting Office was established here.

"It seems you have already found the Ascension Technique." Qing Yu Zi’s standing Dharma Body appeared somewhere, speaking with a smile: "My Boundary Boat, though only partial remains, preserved the most important law core chamber. According to the star map I provided, your journey to Yuanhai Ancient Country will be greatly shortened."

"It seems you have already found the Ascension Technique..."

"It seems you..."

Qing Yu Zi’s standing Dharma Body repeatedly broadcasted this message in the plaza.

Occasionally, the craftsmen looked at Qing Yu Zi’s shadow, filled with vigor and determination.

"Greetings, Grand Minister of Agriculture, from the Seventh Boundary Ship Office of the Ministry of Industry, Law Core Chamber Chief Craftsman Yue Lingzhi." A tall, bald middle-aged man bowed to Zhao Xing.

"Old Yue, why aren’t you wearing a helmet." Zhao Xing jokingly propped up Yue Lingzhi. "You’re the Chief Craftsman, leading by example in error, might cost you a fine."

"Hehe, Grand Minister, we’re not in a danger zone." Yue Lingzhi chuckled. "You can’t randomly penalize me."

Now, Yue Lingzhi is also a Mechanical Master of the Fate Palace Realm, but he’s from the forge branch with low combat value, mainly responsible for crafting.

This field is quite in demand, especially with Great Zhou’s immense undertaking like constructing the Boundary Boat; Yue Lingzhi quickly rose from Mechanical Master, holding a second-grade official rank.

That he could be assigned to such a significant place as the law core chamber shows his boundless potential.

"How’s the progress?" Zhao Xing folded his sleeves, chatting with Yue Lingzhi.

"Reporting to the Grand Minister, the first phase of the Seventh Boundary Ship Office’s schedule was advanced by six months, the second phase by one year, and at the current pace, the next phase will complete its target a year ahead." Yue Lingzhi said proudly. "We’re ahead of other departments by two and a half years!"
