Chapter 539: Chapter 509: The Heinous Crime of Exterminating Nine Generations

"The matter of seclusion isn’t urgent. I must first deploy these three hundred Three Calamities Long Sails; can we ride the Spirit-Catching Ship for the ceremony this time?"

Wang Wu rejected Qingxue’s suggestion, mainly due to the fact that ten years wasn’t enough for his seclusion. With his current status of Minor Dao Perfection plus the Five Elements Cat Array, if he dared to go into seclusion, time would become irrelevant, and decades or hundreds of years would pass in the blink of an eye. Of course, his cultivation speed would also increase drastically.

If forced to awaken by Qingxue, that would not be ideal.

"No, but the Spirit-Catching Ship can probably dock a million miles away. To be honest, it’s not very dangerous. We’re just attending the ceremony, not being thrown into the Breaking Realm Array."

"I have a question. Can we refine the Spirit-Catching Ship into something akin to the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower as an Eternal Firm Immortal Artifact?"

Wang Wu asked again. Ever since hearing that advancing to Half-step Daluo requires everyone to enter the Breaking Realm Array, his sense of security took a dive, even sparking thoughts of becoming a Wandering Taiyi in the Outer Heaven.

But rationality told him that would only lead to a worse situation.

Within the Cultivation Realm, it’s the domain of the Nine Alliances, Three Conferences, and Two Sects. These fourteen major powers are relatively stable, at least maintaining reasonably fair regulations among themselves, a positive coalition.

Outside the Outer Heaven, the chaotic forces such as the Celestial Demon Association and Thief Sect are abundant, even capable of capturing a Taiyi True Immortal for alchemy.

Smart individuals, smart family forces, there are countless Cultivation Sects and such. Why, knowing ultimately they must enter the Breaking Realm Array, are they unwilling to become Wandering Taiyi?

Isn’t it because it’s worse over there?

The class solidification of the mortal world is already terrifying.

Undoubtedly, the ultra-powerful Daluo’s solidification in the Cultivation Realm would be even more terrifying.

Qingxue looked at Wang Wu and suddenly laughed; all his thoughts were transparent before her.

"Theoretically feasible but not, because the resources, manpower, and materials required would be an unimaginable figure. You’ve seen the scale of the repairs on the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower before, right?"

"And that’s just maintenance. Starting from scratch, the cost would drive everyone into despair."

"The most critical point is, what qualifies you to construct an Eternal Firm Immortal Artifact? Put simply, the biggest obstacle to advancing to Daluo from Half-step Daluo isn’t the Celestial tribulation, but the obstruction and sabotage by other Daluo. Hence, achieving Half-step Daluo is the end of our cultivation journey in this lifetime."

"My master previously had this thought, and guess what happened? No forces outside the Hidden Origin Association intervened or sabotaged. Even within Hidden Origin, the Shuang Family did everything to obstruct and strike."

"Because interests are limited."

"I understand, but I still want to try."

"I know, so I’ll also help. My Yang Thunder Resistance currently happens to be 9999 points. Do you need my help to temper further?" Qingxue winked at Wang Wu cheerfully, even eager to try.

points of Yang Thunder Resistance! My goodness, even her terminology matches his.

"How did you achieve that?"

"Just through regular tempering, but my Yin Fire and Evil Wind Resistance are only 4999 points; overall, you still win. How did you manage that?"

Qingxue asked in return; Wang Wu stayed silent. Yes, isn’t it obvious?

"Let’s talk about this later, about tempering Yang Thunder Resistance. Let’s tackle things one at a time—the three hundred Three Calamities Long Sails must be resolved first. You handle the even distribution of Yang Thunder among them, and I’ll adjust the Yin and Yang Qi exposure of the Spirit-Catching Ship."

"Alright!"

Qingxue agreed readily; their tacit understanding needed no words.

At this moment, the Four Clowns, having endured for too long, finally started clamoring, "Can we have a moment? We’ve been in seclusion for so long, fully upgraded our database; you should at least communicate with us. We have important information to report."

"Speak, I’m listening, but if you’re suggesting I immediately retreat to enhance the level and quality of the Creation Immortal Body, there’s no need; the external environment doesn’t allow it."

"Damn!"

The Four Clowns left Wang Wu with one word and went silent.

Nowadays, with Wang Wu constantly maintaining Spiritual Essence Micro, he doesn’t need the Four Clowns as much for finding deficiencies.

With the help of the Five Elements Cat Array, his understanding and control of himself, even with the Four Clowns upgrading their database and going into seclusion, fall far short.

However, that’s not to say the Four Clowns have no use; they can sometimes be consulted for opinions on certain matters.

"I need to recalibrate the Yin and Yang Qi of the Spirit-Catching Ship. Plus, I have an idea: to simulate the White Tiger Heaven and Earth Needle and Vermilion Bird Heaven and Earth Needle, deploying thirty-six Heaven and Earth Needles on the Spirit-Catching Ship to further enhance the accuracy and penetration of the Yin and Yang Qi exposure."

"Isn’t the cost of doing this immense? Why don’t you discuss it with your wife for support—you might end up with nothing!"

Oh dear, the Four Clowns are getting more outrageous now!

Wang Wu thought it might be related to the upgrade of the attribute bar.

He wanted to scold a few words but decided against it; the Four Clowns’ strategic awareness is still lacking.

Indeed, upgrading the Yin and Yang Qi of the Spirit-Catching Ship might risk being seized by the Frost Monarch and even the Shuang Family, unless he chooses to stay on the Spirit-Catching Ship for life.

Moreover, it would be inevitable, as the Spirit-Catching Ship is a core industry of the Frost Monarch, also belonging to the Shuang Family.

In the future when he leaves, the position of chief on the Spirit-Catching Ship can’t remain vacant, someone will replace him.

Other than Qingxue, he has nothing in the Frost Domain.

However, from another perspective, the Spirit-Catching Ship is actually a moving, large-scale signal relay station!

It chases the changes of the Twenty-four Solar Terms, and moves along a fixed trajectory within the Cultivation Realm.

Isn’t such a structure very much like a satellite orbiting Earth?

It’s just that the signals received and sent by a satellite are different from the signals here.

In this Cultivation Realm, the signal relayed by this Spirit-Catching Ship is the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower!

So he doesn’t care who this Spirit-Catching Ship ultimately belongs to, nor does he care if his investment in it will eventually go unreported, because due to the uniqueness of the Spirit-Catching Ship, these three hundred Three Calamities Long Sails can’t be damaged or altered, meaning that theoretically, whenever the Spirit-Catching Ship passes by, he can obtain the power support of the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower through signal relay!

Unfortunately, Wang Wu cannot let Qingxue participate in this. It’s not a matter of trust but rather that Qingxue also needs to cultivate; she has to reserve resources for her own training, and even if he tells her, can she provide sufficient resources?

Instead of both being troubled, it’s better for one person to worry.

Moreover, he already has a plan.

The Five Elements Cat Array operates silently, and in an instant, a high-quality, near-perfect Great Cold-Crying Bird flew out from Wang Wu’s hand; indeed, he can generate and transform the Great Cold-Crying Bird based on the Second Sequence logistics system, each equivalent to three ordinary ones.

This thing is an excellent medium, one of the best materials to be used for Array Stone.

Next, Wang Wu continuously generates and transforms Great Cold-Crying Birds. If the Spiritual Qi is not enough, he’ll extract from the Spirit-Catching Ship. As the chief, he still has this bit of authority.

Free access to Spiritual Qi is no longer an empty promise.

In this way, Wang Wu spent a full three years generating and transforming 3,600 Great Cold-Crying Birds.

For this, he appropriated and occupied 3 trillion points of Spiritual Qi from the Spirit-Catching Ship, but this isn’t a crime, as he included these in his salary, totaling a thousand years’ worth, all withdrawn in advance.

In the future, he needs to work on the Spirit-Catching Ship for at least 950 years; otherwise, once the Frost Monarch pursues the matter, the Auditing Bureau will intervene, and he will be thrown into the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower to serve a sentence...

No rules, no standards.

Upon acquiring these 3,600 Great Cold-Crying Birds, Wang Wu immediately deployed the White Tiger Heaven and Earth Needle, dived inside, and adjusted the irradiation of Yin and Yang Qi, then transformed into a production line of the Cultivation Realm, engraving White Tiger Array Patterns on those Great Cold-Crying Birds.

This process, though simple, is quite simple indeed; he can almost complete one White Tiger Array Pattern engraving in ten minutes, thus turning Great Cold-Crying Birds into special Cangming White Tiger Array Stones.

Yet it is complicated as well.

Firstly, such a purity of Great Cold-Crying Bird is theoretically specially supplied to the high-level of the Hidden Origin Association or more bluntly, for the Half-step Daluo cultivation use.

This is one thing, but all of the Wandering Cold-Crying Birds captured by the Spirit-Catching Ship are actually recorded; even Wang Wu, despite being the chief, can’t be an exception.

He could secretly embezzle thirty or fifty Great Cold-Crying Birds, even several hundred aren’t a problem, but wanting to embezzle 10,800 is truly dreaming.

The Frost Monarch would break all of his legs...

But is it enough to meet these two points?

Sorry, no, without White Tiger Heaven and Earth Needle or Vermilion Bird Array Soul to summon the power of the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower for the adjustment irradiation of Yin and Yang Qi, who do you think you are?

Casually thinking of gaining control over Yin and Yang Qi?

One must know, the current Cultivation Realm’s Nine Alliances, Three Conferences, and Two Sects almost monopolize all channels of Yin and Yang Qi irradiation, which is equivalent to official certification in the Mortal World — the Scriptural Interpretation Authority!

To be blunt, even if the Frost Monarch is formidable, she needs to apply for special permission to use the irradiation of Yin and Yang Qi to do anything.

Of course, she is of Taiyi Eighth Tier strength; her path itself and her strength can be viewed as the manifestation of Yin and Yang Qi.

But the precision of Yin and Yang Qi irradiation she can grasp doesn’t compare to the precision Wang Wu currently masters.

For example, she might achieve 150-nanometer precision, while Wang Wu can manage 3-nanometer precision through the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower.

This is the strategic value brought by that Vermilion Bird Array Soul.

Yet this doesn’t wholly belong to Wang Wu; he is very clear that without the cover and sacrifice of the Frost Monarch, he could not preserve this Vermilion Bird Array Soul.

He and the Frost Monarch are truly strategic partners.

Therefore, only by meeting all the above conditions can Wang Wu engrave the 3,600 Cangming White Tiger Array Stones.

Haha!

Upon completion, Wang Wu’s heart surged with excitement and thrill, for what he was doing was illegal, and if discovered by the Hidden Origin Association, they would execute him without mercy! Exterminate his clan!

Hahaha!
