Immortal Path Space

Chapter 379: Designing the Flying Boat Blueprint

During the time Wang Hong was secluded for cultivation, the battle on the second defense line intensified.

The Demon Clan gradually gathered more Demonic Beasts, leading to attacks that weren't extremely fierce but rather a slow drain on the strength of the Human Clan cultivators.

Recently, it seemed that they had gathered enough, and their attack frequency suddenly increased.

Originally, they attacked once a day, but now it had turned into relentless day and night assaults, leaving the defending Human Clan cultivators exhausted.

Continuous battles had led to massive consumption of various Spiritual Objects, revealing the true resources of various major powers.

Now, these powerful forces, rallied by Qingxu Sect's call, began to contribute their accumulated Spiritual Objects to support the fight against the Demon Clan on the second defense line.

This move made Wang Hong view these forces in a new light. They were more reliable compared to the Treasure Hunters he had recruited initially.

At this critical moment, they were not backstabbing each other and actively contributing to the Cultivation World's cause.

In fact, the current battle against the Demon Clan differed from the previous struggles between major powers. It was a battle of races, and if they were defeated, the entire survival space of the Human Clan would be at stake. No one could hope to escape the consequences.

At this moment, in the Mountain Valley, Wang Hong gathered a few of his subordinates for a meeting.

"Luo Zhongjie, how did your recruitment of new members go this time? How many people did you manage to recruit?" He had arranged for Luo Zhongjie to recruit more people because he had lost too many in the previous battle and needed reinforcements quickly.

Luo Zhongjie looked a bit embarrassed as he replied, "I'm ashamed to say that we only managed to recruit a little over a dozen people this time."

It was challenging to find children with Spiritual Roots within the small area surrounded by Demonic Beasts' siege. In the current situation, major Sects were too busy to recruit from the Mortal Realm. Otherwise, the areas around Qingxu Sect would have already been thoroughly scoured, and they wouldn't have found anyone.

"It's alright. We'll look for more in the mortal realm once the Demonic Beasts retreat," Wang Hong reassured him. He had already anticipated this situation, as he had heard the report from Liu Changsheng. Their situation was even worse; they had recruited only a few people.

"Alas, the Demonic Beasts' attacks are getting fiercer and fiercer. I wonder if we can hold on," Yin Ze sighed with a hint of pessimism.

Having experienced several major battles where cities like Jin'an City and Boundary City were breached, he knew what failure meant. Once the Demon Clan won, their treatment of the Human Clan would be as merciless as humans treating their livestock.

"Regardless of whether we can hold on or not, we must prepare for the worst," Wang Hong said. In truth, he didn't have much confidence in the second defense line, and he believed that the Qingxu Sect's higher-ups shared the same sentiment.

The reason they were still holding the second defense line was to buy time for the third defense line. The first defense line was hastily built and lacked significant defensive capabilities.

Due to the successful defense of the first defense line, the second defense line quickly constructed a tall wall in a very short time.

However, these walls had not yet been equipped with formations, so they could only slightly impede the attacks of the Demonic Beasts.

Meanwhile, the third defense line was in a hurry and had already built a fifty-zhang tall city wall. Currently, they were busy setting up formations on it.

Xu Lun, upon hearing Wang Hong's words, was certain that he already had a plan in mind. "East Master, what are your arrangements?"

"I do have a plan," Wang Hong began. "First, Yin Ze, make another trip to the Immortal Way Trading Company's base. Deliver the refined Spiritual Weapon Pills and check if they have any Foundation Establishment Pills left. If they do, get them all."

Yin Ze, upon hearing this, couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled. Foundation Establishment Pills were extremely precious, and they had already delivered fifty in one go. It seemed unlikely that there would be any left.

Wang Hong seemed to have read Yin Ze's thoughts and said, "Just inquire; you never know, they might still have some."

As for whether Liu Changsheng had Foundation Establishment Pills or how many, that was something Wang Hong could figure out with a thought.

"Let's put the matter of Foundation Establishment Pills aside for now. Today, I'd like to discuss another matter with all of you. I want to organize all the refining tool masters in the valley to collectively refine a medium-sized Flying Boat."

This statement surprised everyone present because refining a Flying Boat, especially a medium-sized one, was not a simple task like refining ordinary tools.

First and foremost, to create a medium-sized Flying Boat, they needed a Flying Boat Refinement blueprint.

Then, according to the blueprint, they would need to refine hundreds or even thousands of Spiritual Weapons, which would later need to be combined into a single entity.

This was just the challenge on the refining tool aspect. There were also formations on the Flying Boat, and the most basic requirement was to use formations to connect all the Spiritual Weapons on the Flying Boat into a cohesive whole.

Furthermore, there were various formations on the Flying Boat, such as levitation arrays, flight arrays, defense arrays, and acceleration arrays, among others.

Apart from the technical difficulties of refining tools and formations, there were also the numerous materials required for refining a Flying Boat. Without significant accumulation, it would be impossible to gather such a wide variety and quantity of materials.

Therefore, those who could refine a medium-sized Flying Boat were undoubtedly among the top talents within medium-sized factions.

Wang Hong's decision to refine a Flying Boat himself was a carefully considered one. With a large number of people at their disposal, varying in strength and speed, a Flying Boat would greatly assist them in both combat and escape.

Now, during wartime, it was almost impossible to purchase a Flying Boat, so they had no choice but to refine one themselves.

Upon hearing Wang Hong's inquiry, Yin Ze quickly replied, "We currently have fourteen second-tier refining tool masters in the Inner Valley and three in the Outer Valley."

Wang Hong nodded and said, "Although the numbers are a bit low, it should be enough for the refinement. In the coming days, I'll find a way to create the Refinement blueprint. Once it's ready, we can work together to gather the materials for refining."

Everyone was taken aback when they heard that Wang Hong was planning to create the Refinement blueprint for the Flying Boat himself. They needed a moment to process the information.

Creating a new blueprint, even for a regular Spiritual Weapon, was a rare skill. Creating one for a complex structure like a Flying Boat was even rarer.

Wang Hong, however, didn't seem concerned. Over the years, despite having many subordinates who could do the work for him, he had never neglected his own studies.

Skills like Alchemy, refining tools, Talisman Making, formations, and more, he had continuously delved into them without pause.

Especially with his possession of Space, a divine item that allowed him to have hundreds of times more time than others. With such a vast amount of time at his disposal, he couldn't afford to waste it all on cultivation. So, whenever he had some free time, he would enter his Space to not only inspect his various Spiritual Objects but also to dedicate the remaining time to learning and improving his skills.
