Chapter 869: Super Aerospace Carrier Construction: Twenty-Three Trillion Two Hundred Billion

Jiang Ding looked inward at his own body.

The magic power of the Wan Hua Ci Yuan, infused with spatial qi, flowed through his meridians and dantian, cycling endlessly, nearly filling one-third of its capacity.

Peak of Nascent Soul early stage!

He had traveled far in the Nascent Soul early stage, just a little short of breaking through to the Nascent Soul middle stage.

"Probably need… twenty or thirty years."

Jiang Ding was uncertain.

He needed a fourth-rank top-quality spiritual vein, to train on it in person, before he could confirm—this wasn't hard, just switch dormitories.

"But my dormitory is Dayang Dayang Tianchi."

"I don't want anything else—just this."

Jiang Ding rejected the idea of switching dormitories at Qingfeng University.

Only within Dayang Dayang Tianchi,

could his cultivation, sword intent, and the refinement of Taiqing Flying Sword grow the fastest and most steadily.

No heavenly treasure, no opportunity, could compare to Dayang Dayang Tianchi's importance for a Dayang Sword Disciple's cultivation.

Ming Chong Guang Zi's stunted development was precisely because of Dayang Dayang Tianchi.

How many heavenly treasures, how many inheritance talismans, would it take to match Dayang Dayang Tianchi?

No amount could ever match it!

This is the cradle of the Dayang Sword Disciple, the sword tomb formed by the cremation of past Dayang Sword Lords—thinking you could rival it by stuffing heavenly treasures into a storage artifact is pure fantasy.

"Still, I must first master the Nascent Soul-level evasion and concealment techniques."

"And I must also learn Nascent Soul-level sword techniques."

"This is easy—all the sword techniques are my own inventions, just minor modifications needed; the moment I succeed in cultivating them, they reach perfect completion."

Jiang Ding made his plan, then looked at the Taiqing Flying Sword.

The Taiqing Flying Sword was now pitted and scarred, its aura dim, severely damaged by the heavenly tribulation—yet it seemed full of vitality, emitting joyful sword cries from time to time.

Her sword body glowed like flowing blue-gold light, faintly transmuted into substance no longer, but instead composed of some special, razor-sharp energy.

This was a Primordial Spirit artifact.

Within the Taiqing Flying Sword's body, Brother Xuanwu Divine Metal and Tian Xu Tianxu Wan Ni Xuan Metal had preliminarily fused, causing Jiang Ding's soul and sword intent to rotate slightly faster—imperceptibly so.

Even in normal state, if he focused slightly, he could see all things in heaven and earth, all cultivators, moving and speaking in slow motion.

But it was unstable; if he relaxed even a little, or his breathing grew erratic, it would revert instantly.

This was the extraordinary power of the Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace's inherited divine metal.

Ultimate energy and spiritual awareness transmission!

Applied in attack, it allowed cultivators to react faster—this effect was developed by the Dayang Sword Pavilion; Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace itself never knew Brother Xuanwu Divine Metal was so potent in offense, beyond defense.

The Ying Mo Yuan's Tian Xu Tianxu Wan Ni Xuan Metal also demonstrated powerful effects.

Jiang Ding flickered in the sky—sometimes appearing, his presence overwhelming; sometimes vanishing instantly, making others unconsciously overlook him.

Even Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun had to cast focus spells just to barely resist it.

This was because Jiang Ding could not yet fully control the Tian Xu Tianxu Wan Ni Xuan Metal.

The fusion between Ying Mo Yuan's inherited divine metal and the Taiqing Flying Sword was still insufficient—only preliminary.

Lastly, the Super Warship Dayang Hao.

She was now battered and broken, most of her deck melted, hull riddled with holes, radar, arrays, and cabins all severely damaged—only the engines and gun barrels remained intact.

"How's it going? Is the warship's supercomputing core still okay?"

Jiang Ding asked casually.

It was politeness.

"Commander, no problem."

Yun Ri's weak voice came through: "The warship's supercomputing core has advanced to fifth rank, but the super warship is heavily damaged."

"I need at least a hundred years to repair, rebuild, and upgrade it into a super aerospace carrier—equivalent to a star fortress—with standard requirements of at least thirty-six thousand Dai Sen mirror-blade unmanned units, plus a special corps of unmanned warships and drones."

"This will require a lot of money."

"Commander, do you still have money?"

Yun Ri asked.

"What's that?"

Jiang Ding bristled, declaring proudly: "When have you ever seen me poor? Just say how much—I'll transfer it to your account right now!"

"Twenty-three trillion two hundred billion low-grade spiritual stones."

"What?!!!!!!"

"You said how much?!"

Jiang Ding let out a piercing shriek.

He suspected he was still trapped in the Xin Mo Huan Jing, not yet awakened.

"Twenty-three trillion two hundred billion low-grade spiritual stones."

"Commander, that's not much—it's already frugal."

Yun Ri explained patiently: "It's merely the tax revenue of an immortal sect for two years. Star fortress construction costs are inherently astronomical; every single star fortress is built at immense cost, and each one takes years for a sect to recover from."

"Our super aerospace carrier's cost is far higher than that of a Soul Transformation Canghai Tianjun's star fortress!"

"Moreover, given our combat style, we must carry a massive number of Dai Sen blade-type unmanned units, plus an entire high-standard special unmanned warship corps."

"Please note, this special unmanned warship corps is not the kind you've seen on aerospace battlefields, nor is it Bone Lin's True Person's Qing Shen Corps."

It is a high-standard special unmanned warship corps designed for Soul Transformation battlefields, and must be specially engineered and constructed to adapt to your Dai Sen Blade Domain.

"Considering all these factors, do you think twenty-three trillion low-grade spirit stones is a lot?"

"... It seems, perhaps, it isn't that high?"

Jiang Ding said uncertainly.

A Soul Transformation Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun, with a lifespan of ten thousand years, views Nascent Souls as ants; theoretically, they are already rulers of a small realm, and the cost of their Ben Ming Fa treasures is originally terrifyingly high.

"So, can you pay now?"

The ship spirit Yunri said cunningly.

"No, I have no money."

"No money, I am not a great tycoon; I am a member of the poor, destitute class."

Jiang Ding helplessly admitted this point.

He had over three hundred billion low-grade spirit stones on hand; after the horned storage spaces of the five Imperial Sons were cracked, his wealth would explode, and he had thought he was already the number one tycoon in the heavens.

Unexpectedly, reality immediately gave him a blow to the head.

Of course, the wealth in the horned spaces of the five Imperial Sons did not belong entirely to him; thirty percent must be distributed to True Person Teacher Gu Lin and other cultivators as a share of war merits, with True Person Teacher Gu Lin receiving the largest portion, and another twenty percent must be turned over to the Immortal Sect as captured spoils.

This is the regulation for war merit distribution, and it is also reasonable.

Without the coordination of True Person Teacher Gu Lin's array of taboo nuclear weapons, even if Jiang Ding could defeat the Nine Great Dao Sons, he would either not die or be crippled, with a great risk of death.

Furthermore, without the help of the Immortal Sect's Void Refining army formation, the entire person would have died in the Yin-Yang Void Realm.

"Then there is only one solution."

"You should obtain an establishment; the establishment of a Starry Sky Force. Do not mix it up; do not make it an Aerospace Force, as ground forces are useless."

Yunri, having expected this earlier, suggested.

"What does that mean?"

Jiang Ding asked.

"It means you apply within the Immortal Sect to establish a Starry Sky Army Group under your own command, funded by the Immortal Sect's treasury to build this Starry Sky Army Group; you will only have command authority, while ownership belongs to the Immortal Sect's logistics department."

"Based on the ranking of your war merits and your political reliability, I think this will be very easy."

Yunri explained.
