Chapter 1103: Progress Of Revamp
However, before Lin Li could say anything, Onor waved his hand repeatedly, and said, “I’m not sure what the sacred land looks like. I might be in charge of the sea trade here, but I’m far from qualified to enter the sacred land of the Sea Clan. The reason I want to get the Life Commendation potion this time is to increase the lifespan of one of the elders in the clan, which I hope will give me enough credit to be qualified to enter the sacred land.”
Hearing Onor’s words, Lin Li knew that he couldn’t find out anything useful from him. However, he could also tell that the sacred land should be quite important to the Sea Clan. Otherwise, if the sacred land was merely symbolic, the entry requirements should not be so strict, just like in the holy city of the Brilliance Shrine, where all believers of light would be able to enter freely, but not everyone was allowed to go up the Holy Mountain.
Thinking about this, Lin Li did not continue to ask Onor any questions. Instead, he tossed the Life Commendation potion to Onor, and then waved his hand gently to toss Onor, who scrambled to catch the potion, down The Star.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Li returned to the main pilothouse of The Star in a bid to make The Star move faster in the direction where the Immortal King had disappeared. However, at this juncture, Lin Li encountered another problem, and that was how he could obtain full control of the vessel. The Star had been sailing on its own throughout the journey.
The first thing that came to Lin Li’s mind was the tiny skeleton that he had seen in the main pilothouse. However, when he went there to tell the tiny skeleton about what he wanted, he got an answer that he wasn’t satisfied with. The little skeleton was not the real pilot of The Star, and its duty was only to correct some deviations in the course of The Star.
Seems like I have to rely on myself for everything! Lin Li had no time to waste on being frustrated, and instead opened his Domain World to envelop the entire ship. He began to seize full control of The Star.
In fact, when he first boarded The Star, Lin Li thought about gaining full control of The Star, but in order to prevent it from deviating from the preset course, he put the idea at the back of his head, and tried to test the firepower of The Star instead.
Although The Star was left behind by Geresco, it didn’t seem to have Geresco’s Soul Imprint, which made it much more convenient for Lin Li to seize control over the ship. After all, even if he was now a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse, it was definitely not an easy task to get rid of Geresco’s Soul Imprint.
The Star now seemed to be an object that did not have a master, as the little skeleton had very limited control over The Star. After Lin Li incorporated The Star into his own Domain World, he became the supreme ruler who had maximum control over everything in the Domain World. He reckoned that it would be rather easy to gain full control of The Star.
Hence, Lin Li did not take long to gain full control of The Star. While doing so, he also gained a very detailed understanding of the entire structure of The Star. Previously, he only knew that The Star was incredibly powerful with a ferocious attacking power and astonishing defensive prowess. However, after gaining a true understanding of the entire structure of The Star, he no longer saw it as a powerful ship. He simply thought of it as a marine artifact.
If the alchemical battleship of the Gilded Kingdom was compared to a Legendary powerhouse, The Star would be described as a Sanctuary-realm powerhouse among battleships. The various alchemical techniques, mageweaths, Magic Arrays, and magic gears used in The Star were all breathtaking and stunning to Lin Li.
However, Lin Li could not be bothered to study those things in detail at this point in time. The thing that he was the most eager to do now was to catch up with the Immortal King in hopes of getting the answers he needed.
Although the figure of the immortal king had long disappeared from Lin Li’s sight, the aura that the Immortal King had left behind gave him the most obvious hint. Hence, after gaining full control of The Star, Lin Li immediately maneuvered the vessel, and sailed at full speed towards the depths of the Endless Ocean.
The Endless Ocean of Anril was not on the same level as the five oceans of the world that Lin Li came from before transmigrating. Even till now, no one knew what the end of the Endless Ocean was like. Legend had it that there were quite a few Sanctuary powerhouses who wanted to explore the end of the Endless Ocean, but those people either returned in a disheveled state or went missing forever. Hence, although there were also legends that the end of the Endless Ocean led to another continent or that it was the barrier of the world, no one could really stand out to confirm those speculations.
While controlling The Star, Lin Li chased after the aura of the Immortal King in the Endless Ocean, and sailed for nearly 10 days straight. With the speed of The Star, he could probably travel across the entire Felan Kingdom in that time. However, he still didn’t find a single trace of the Immortal King. Apart from fighting with some sea beasts along the way, there was nothing much for Lin Li to do, and such a life was boring to him.
In the end, Lin Li realized that he would just be wasting time if he waited there. After all, there was a whole lot of things that he had to do outside this world. Hence, he set the course and let The Star enter autopilot mode, leaving the little skeleton to correct the navigation. After that, he returned to the main pilothouse, and activated a Teleportation Portal in it. The Teleportation Portal, which he had also discovered after gaining control of The Star, would allow him to travel freely between this world and the Meditation Land.
When Lin Li returned to the Meditation Land and stood in front of the Teleportation Array in the canyon, Connoris and the two Undead servants were working together to deal with a prehistoric magical beast. There were already three prehistoric magical beasts lying around the Teleportation Array. Clearly, Connoris and the two Undead servants didn’t have an easy time when Lin Li was away.
However, Lin Li could tell from the battle scene between Connoris, the two Undead servants, and the prehistoric magical beasts that they had made some gains in the Meditation Land. In about 10 days or so, Connoris and the others had not only sharpened their combat skills, but their mana fluctuations had also grown significantly. They probably only needed an opportunity to enter the Sanctuary-realm.
Sensing that Lin Li had returned, Connoris and the two Undead servants immediately intensified their attack, and quickly killed the prehistoric magical beast. When they were in front of Lin Li, Connoris lamented, “Felic, where did you go after leaving us behind here? Look at how terrible our lives have been. These guys came over to bully us as soon as your aura disappeared.”
“You’re fine now, aren’t you? Besides, you seem to have fused better with this body. Why don’t you just stay here for a few more days? Maybe you’ll be able to step into the Sanctuary-realm soon,” Lin Li said teasingly. Although his strength didn’t improve in that world, and his doubts weren’t answered, he had at least gained a clue. Thus, he was in quite a good mood.
As soon as he heard Lin Li’s words, Connoris immediately waved his hands, and said, “No, with this perfect body, it’s just a matter of time before I step into the Sanctuary-realm. I’m not going to torture myself.”
After cracking a few jokes, Lin Li brought Connoris and his two Undead servants away from the canyon while recounting what he had seen in the other world. Lin Li was not worried about whether the canyon would be occupied by other prehistoric magical beasts after he left. Anyway, he had managed to get rid of an aggressive thing like Asgor. How could he be afraid of the prehistoric magical beasts?
After leaving the Meditation Land, Lin Li did not delay a single bit, and immediately began to continue the transformation of the Sky Castle. During his absence, the mages of the Tower of Dusk continued transforming the Sky Castle in strict accordance with the various designs that Lin Li had given them. However, there were also various problems that Lin Li had to resolve himself when he returned.
The first thing Lin Li had to do was to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the various projects in the Sky Castle progressing during his absence. After all, the mages of the Tower of Dusk and the talents in the various fields were still growing, and many things could not be achieved solely with hard work. In order to avoid any hidden dangers left by the transformation of the Sky Castle, Lin Li had to scrutinize and inspect every project.
Previously, Lin Li led his subordinates to transform the power system of the Sky Castle by adding a secondary power source to the power core. The transformation of the power system was not limited to an addition of the secondary power source. There was still the organization of the various parts of the power transmission system. The Sky Castle was a large city, after all, and the power transmission system had to carry out a great deal of processes, just like the pipelines of a city.
Fortunately, although the workload was huge, it wasn’t too difficult to carry out the processes. Hence, Lin Li handed the follow-up work to his subordinates. That did not mean that Lin Li did not need to care about anything else. After all, it was the fundamental and most important part of the Sky Castle. Lin Li did not dare to make any mistake in handling the power system of the Sky Castle at all. Although the power system could correct errors automatically, it might miss out some errors that would be likely to cause a devastating disaster for the Sky Castle.
Hence, after exiting the inverted tower, Lin Li immediately led his subordinates, and began to check the power system of the entire Sky Castle. However, he was relatively satisfied with the results of the inspection. Although there were some problems, it was obvious that his subordinates weren’t negligent or careless when carrying out the works.
At the same time, the first batch of Magical Crystal Cannons purchased from the Dwarf Kingdom had also arrived in the Sky Castle. However, the Dwarf Kingdom hadn’t given a clear explanation about the Sky-breaker, which Lin Li was most concerned about. According to the report of Beckley who was in charge of the matter, the senior executives of the Dwarf Kingdom had already gotten into a heated argument over the blueprint of the Sky-breaker. King Dantin of the Dwarf Kingdom seemed to have revealed some intentions.
During the war at the end of the Dark Age, the Dwarf Kingdom had created the Sky-breaker, which could be considered a unique battle weapon that was second to none. During the battle with the High Elves’ Sky Castle, the powerful attacks of the Sky-breaker repeatedly broke through the Sky Castle’s defense. Hence, it was known as the only weapon that could take down the Sky Castle.
According to logic, since dwarves had a powerful siege weapon like the Sky-breaker, they would definitely be able to get a large slice of the pie in the war that followed after the High Elves were overthrown. They wouldn’t be in such a state now where they had to suffer the biting cold like they used to during the Dark Age. After all, during the war that decided the division of benefits, the Sanctuary powerhouses wouldn’t intervene; hence, there was nothing to stop the power of Sky-breaker. If it could break even the powerful defenses of the Sky Castle, what fortress could stop the dwarves?
However, at the end of the war at the end of the Dark Ages, the dwarves’ armory where the Sky-breakers were placed was attacked by the remaining High Elves who did so to retaliate. The attack resulted in tens of thousands of casualties, and the attackers directly destroyed the only 10 Sky-breakers belonging to the dwarves.
The more infuriating thing for the dwarves was that shortly after the Sky-breakers were destroyed by the remaining High Elves, the creator of the Sky-breaker, Master Sol who was known as the God of Forging by the dwarves, disappeared without a trace overnight together with the blueprint of the Sky-breaker.
Some said that Master Sol had truly obtained a divine position, and became the great God of Forging, while some said that the High Elves or the human alliance resorted to unscrupulous means to kill or kidnap Master Sol—although his forging skills were unparalleled, he was only at the Legendary-level, so many people were inclined towards the latter explanation.
However, no matter what, the disappearance of Master Sol and the blueprints of the Sky-breaker meant that the dwarves could no longer build new Sky-breakers. More than 1,300 years after the end of the Dark Age, countless outstanding Smithing Masters of the dwarves were still unable to build a single Sky-breaker even after spending a lot of effort on researching the latter.
Hence, after the attack, the dwarves put the blame on the human alliance, and accused them of coercing the High Elves to destroy the Sky-breaker. At that time, apart from the Sky Castle which was taken away by the Supreme Council and the Sky Castle that had escaped to the Endless Void, the remaining five Sky Castles of the High Elves had been destroyed, so the Sky-breaker was undoubtedly no longer useful to the alliance. Instead, it became a threat.
