MARTIAL PEAK 4987

“Brother Shentu is right!” Someone nodded slightly.

Another person said, “Brother Shentu’s considerations are far-reaching, we are ashamed.”

Shentu Mo’s words caused many people to dispel any thoughts of trying to win Yang Kai over. This matter was already quite unreasonable and the chances of successfully winning him over were extremely slim. Now that they heard Shentu Mo’s analysis of the pros and cons, they felt that what he said was true and immediately gave up.

Ding Yao and the others observed their expressions and knew that Shentu Mo’s words had moved them, so they immediately relaxed. Zhong Liang looked towards Tang Qiu and asked, “What does Brother Tang think?”

Tang Qiu frowned, “I still insist on bringing Yang Kai back to Yin-Yang Pass, if he is willing to return with me.”

Although he said so, his tone was not as persistent as before.

Zhong Liang smiled and said, “If Brother Tang personally asks, I’m afraid that little brat won’t be able to refuse. After all, you’re his elder, there’s no need to force him. I don’t think there’s a need to ask, and I think Yang Kai’s position in Blue Sky Pass is just right.”

Tang Qiu raised his brow, “How?”

Zhong Liang calmly said, “There are more than a hundred human race Mountain Passes, all of them forming a blockade on the Black Ink Battlefield to stop the Black Ink Clan’s invasion of the 3000 Worlds. My Blue Sky Pass happens to be at the center of this battlefront. Everyone, no matter which Mountain Pass you come from, the relative distance is not too far. If he follows you back to Yin-Yang Pass, it will be different. If someone were to rush to Yin-Yang Pass, some will have shortened distance, but there will definitely be some who will take a longer time. Therefore, allowing him to remain in Blue Sky Pass is the fairest choice for the other Mountain Passes. Moreover, no matter which Mountain Pass he is in, he will ultimately serve the Human Race. If so, what difference does it make where he is?”

…

A month later, Wei Junyang, who had been waiting at the central square, thanked Yang Kai and received the four Expelling Black Ink Battleship to his Small Unvierse before immediately returning.

The Great War Pass was currently engaged in a battle with the Black Ink Clan, so they urgently needed an Expelling Black Ink Battleship to assist them.

On Yang Kai’s side, there was no time to rest, there was another four Expelling Black Ink Battleship ready for him to complete.

He didn’t know how these people negotiate, but after Yang Kai was done with the Expelling Black Ink Battleship, he had to work on the next one, each of which had four.

A massive amount of resources had been consumed and a large number of Universe Formations had been set up. The rich purifying light was also sealed inside the Expelling Black Ink Battleship and taken away by the various families.

Once these Expelling Black Ink Battleship entered the battlefield, they would be able to greatly reduce the problem of the Ink Force. At the same time, the Universe Formation set up inside the Expelling Black Ink Battleship would allow the human race cultivators to quickly return.

Repeating these things day after day was extremely boring, but Yang Kai was extremely busy because he knew that the dullness he was enduring right now could save the lives of many of his clansmen at a critical moment.

Gradually, he lost track of time.

Besides resting for a few days when he was too tired, Yang Kai had been busy at the Central Square.

As for the visitors from Blue Sky Pass, almost every month, one of them would leave contentedly, and the Expelling Black Ink Battleships would be brought back to the various Human Pass. With Blue Sky Pass as the center, the Expelling Black Ink Battleships would fly towards the Human Race’s front lines and bloom.

It wasn’t until one day, when Yang Kai handed over four more Battleships and watched the Eighth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator from a certain Human Race pass leave that he suddenly discovered that the square was completely empty.

In the past, before he had even finished his work here, four new Expelling Black Ink Battleship had been waiting for him. He had long been used to this kind of life, but today, it seemed to be different.

At some point, Zhong Liang had been standing to the side, and when he saw Yang Kai’s gaze, he smiled and nodded, “You’ve worked hard these past few years, go back and rest well.”

Yang Kai suddenly understood and asked, “Is that all?”

“That’s all,” Zhong Liang patted him on the shoulder, “There are more than a hundred Mountain Passes, each one of them already having their own Expelling Black Ink Battleship. In the future, when facing the Black Ink Clan, the Ink Force will no longer be able to corrupt our soldiers, and all of this will be thanks to you alone.”

Hearing this, Yang Kai silently calculated for a moment before realizing that seven or eight years had passed in the blink of an eye.

In other words, he had been busy in this square for seven or eight years. Although this amount of time was nothing to a Open Heaven Stage cultivator, it was still a bit surprising that time passed so quickly.

“Go back, you’ve only recently broken through to the Seventh Order, stabilize your cultivation,” Zhong Liang waved his hand.

“Yes!” Yang Kai accepted the order and left.

Returning to Feng Ying’s courtyard, Yang Kai opened the restriction and entered. Feng Ying was nowhere to be found.

As he sat alone in front of the porch steps, he suddenly felt that the calmness was somewhat unreal. He was used to living a busy life, but now that it had suddenly become so peaceful, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Zhong Liang wanted him to stabilize his cultivation, but Yang Kai wasn’t in a hurry to do so. Although he hadn’t cultivated properly since he had broken through to the Seventh Order, because of his Small Universe’s special condition, his foundation had been constantly increasing. Now that seven or eight years had passed, his Seventh Order cultivation had already stabilized.

However, after checking his Small Universe’s condition, Yang Kai still sighed lightly.

Over the past seven or eight years, Yang Kai had completed more than four hundred Expelling Black Ink Battleships, he didn’t need to pay attention to the materials required for the Universe Formation. Each of these things had been prepared in the Battleships, but sealing the Purification Light inside the Expelling Black Ink Battleship required the consumption of the Yellow Crystals and Blue Crystals.

The consumption for more than four hundred Expelling Black Ink Battleships had reduced his stock of Yellow Crystals and Blue Crystals by nearly ten percent.

One had to know that the Yellow Crystals and Blue Crystals he had obtained from the Chaotic Dead Territory were extremely difficult to calculate. Before leaving the 3000 Worlds, he had split half of them with High Heaven Palace, but the remaining half was still extremely large.

Even so, it still took about ten percent.

Although the number of remaining Yellow Crystals and Blue Crystals was still massive, sooner or later they would be completely exhausted. At that time, the Black Ink Battlefield would no longer have any purifying light.

When that day really came, where would he find Yellow Crystals and Blue Crystals?

Just as he was thinking about this, the sound of something breaking through the air rang out. Yang Kai looked up and saw a stream of light descending towards him.

When the light dissipated, Feng Ying’s graceful figure appeared.

“You’re back?” Feng Ying looked at him in surprise.

“En,” Yang Kai nodded.

“It’s good that you’re back. Come with me, I’ll show you something good,” Feng Ying called out with a mysterious expression.

Yang Kai was surprised, but just as he was about to ask what it was, Feng Ying flew up into the sky again, forcing Yang Kai to follow.

Quickly returning to the central square, Feng Ying waved her hand and a Small Universe’s door flashed. Immediately after, a flying ship-shaped palace artifact appeared in Yang Kai’s field of vision. This ship's building is just over 20 zhang long, five zhang wide, and three stories high. It was much smaller than the flying ships Yang Kai had seen on the battlefield.

Yang Kai raised his brow slightly and asked in confusion, “This is…”

Feng Ying smiled, “This is our Dawn’s Battleship!”

Yang Kai was extremely surprised, “Dawn Battleship?”

Feng Ying nodded and explained, “Each team in Blue Sky Pass has their own palace artifact. Our Dawn Squad is also a special team, so naturally we have one.”

Yang Kai was puzzled, “But the palace treasure I saw on the battlefield was much larger than this one.”

Feng Ying said, “That’s a Guard Grade Palace artifact, a Battleship that can accommodate a hundred people, so it’s naturally larger. This one is a Team Grade artifact, so it can’t be compared to a Guard Grade artifact. On a large scale battlefield like the one before, it’s naturally safer to use a Guard Grade Battleship as a unit, so you haven’t seen any Team Grade artifact.”

Yang Kai nodded, “I see.”

Immediately, a look of interest appeared on Yang Kai’s face. After all, this thing in front of him belonged to the Dawn Squad and could be considered a strategic resource that Blue Sky Pass had transferred to the Dawn Squad.

Feng Ying gestured towards him, “Shall we go up and take a look?”

“That’s exactly what I was thinking,” Yang Kai flashed forward, Feng Ying following closely behind.

This ship-like artifact wasn’t too big, after all, it was only about twenty zhang long, but it wasn’t small either. It had all the necessary configurations, and with Feng Ying’s introduction, Yang Kai quickly gained a better understanding of its properties.

He couldn’t help feeling somewhat surprised, “The power of this thing seems to be quite extraordinary.”

According to Feng Ying’s introduction, with such a Battleship, as long as several Open Heaven Stage masters were in charge of the direction and speed, they would be able to fly across the battlefield. On top of that, there were eight Attack Formations arranged on this Battleship, each of which had an extremely powerful artifact as the eye of the Formation. As long as three Sixth Order cultivators worked together, they would be able to draw support from the Formations on this Battleship and display the power of a Seventh Order Open Heaven.

Eight Formations were equivalent to eight Seventh Order!

There were also a few other Formations that specialized in defense and also used protective artifacts as the eye of the Formation. These Formations required three Sixth Order to activate a defensive power comparable to a Seventh Order.

The Palace Artifact’s offensive and defensive capabilities were all displayed here.

Feng Ying said, “Ordinary Team Grade artifacts naturally aren’t like this. I found someone from the Artifact Refining Hall to specially build this, and all of the offensive and defensive Formations on it are specially designed. If our Battleship is fully equipped, it will be several times more powerful than an ordinary Team Grade Battleship. With the help of a Seventh Order Open Heaven Stage master, even if we encounter the Black Ink Clan Territory Lord, we will still be able to put up a fight.”

Yang Kai nodded repeatedly, “Good, good, good.”

Feng Ying continued, “However, this Battleship has spent a lot of battle merits, especially yours, which has basically been used up.”

“My battle merits?” Yang Kai was stunned for a moment before suddenly remembering that a few years ago, Feng Ying had asked for his identity token. At that time, Yang Kai had been busy setting up the Universe Formation to seal the Purification Light and the like, so he had given it to her without asking much.

It turned out that at that time, Feng Ying had already planned to use his battle merits to build such a Battleship.

Feng Ying explained, “Although the Pass will allocate a Battleship to each team, that is only the most basic configuration. If you want to improve it, you will need to spend some battle merits to find someone from the Artifact Refining Hall.”
