Chapter 1632

The Artifact Master Alliance Elder, the Talisman Master Alliance Elder, and the Formation Master Alliance Elder, after traveling through the myriad worlds, have all become research maniacs.

The named entity Artifact Master Alliance Elder is the translation; per glossary, Artifact Master means artifact master and Alliance Elder means alliance elder. Similarly, Formation Sect Alliance Elder corresponds to the formation sect alliance elder. Artifact Master Alliance Elder and Talisman Master Alliance Elder can be translated using the glossary entries for artifact master, talisman master, pill master, and weapon refiner.

Also, Zhu Tian Wan Jie should be included as per the glossary.

Thus line 1 includes Artifact Master Alliance Elder, Talisman Master Alliance Elder, Formation Sect Alliance Elder (since the term matches the glossary), and Zhu Tian Wan Jie.

Also, the phrase 'research maniac' is not a named entity.

The Pill Master Alliance Elder is no different.

Named entities: Pill Master Alliance Elder.

After returning to the Haotu World, he spent all day holed up in his room, not knowing what he was doing.

Named entities: Haotu Shijie.

Ye Zhangqing had grown accustomed to it, but upon hearing that a few people wanted to test a new treasure in the Demon Realm, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

Named entities: Ye Zhangqing and Demon Realm; the term for treasure is generic and not a named entity.

Upon hearing Luo Jiuyou's words, the Artifact Master Alliance Elder calmly replied.

Named entities: Luo Jiuyou and Artifact Master Alliance Elder.

"The weapon we've researched this time is a bit too powerful; testing it in other worlds wouldn't be appropriate."

Named entities: none besides possibly the generic term 'other world'.

Huh???

What the Artifact Master Alliance Elder meant is that there's no deep grudge between the Haotu World and other worlds.

Named entities: Artifact Master Alliance Elder and Haotu Shijie.

Right now, the only enemies we have are the Imperial Palace and the demon race; the Imperial Palace is too far away, so the demon race is the most suitable target.

Named entities include Huánggōng; the term for demon race should be included as Demon tribe, even though the glossary only lists the term for demon realm as Demon Realm.

Also, Huánggōng is the translation of the term for Imperial Emperor Palace.

Upon hearing that, Luo Jiuyou snorted in disdain.

Named entities: Luo Jiuyou.

"You could just test it in an uninhabited star field; why bother going to the Demon Realm?"

Named entities: Demon Realm; the term for star field is generic and not a named entity.

"How about the artifact? Let me take a look."

This..........

Seeing the Artifact Master Alliance Elder and the others hesitate, Luo Jiuyou asked curiously.

Named entities: Artifact Master Alliance Elder and Luo Jiuyou.

What kind of artifact is this, made so mysterious? Just how powerful could it be?

No named.

They in the Nine Nether Realm also have their own weapon refiners and formation masters, who have likewise forged many emperor-level artifacts.

Named entities include Nine Nether Realm, Weapon Refiner, Formation Master, and Emperor-level; the term for magical implement is generic.

But in Luo Jiuyou's view, such artifacts are ultimately just external power; even if you reach emperor-level, there are still many limitations.

Named entities: Luo Jiuyou and Emperor-level.

They can never match a cultivator's own strength, so Luo Jiuyou has always looked down on such artifacts.

Named entities: Luo Jiuyou.

He was just curious—what kind of artifact could make the Artifact Master Alliance Elder and the others speak so mysteriously.

Named entities: Artifact Master Alliance Elder.

Upon hearing that, the Artifact Master Alliance Elder and his companions didn't hide anything and pointed to the rear of the star battleship.

Named entities: Artifact Master Alliance Elder and Star Battleship.

At that moment, Ye Zhangqing and the others saw that behind the Artifact Master Alliance Elder's star battleship, something dark and indistinct was being towed.

Named entities: Ye Zhangqing, Artifact Master Alliance Elder, and Star Battleship.

Its size was enormous; previously unnoticed, but upon seeing it now, everyone was stunned.

No named.

Only see, a massive gun mount was tied to the rear of the star battleship by more than ten iron chains.

Named entities: Star Battleship.

It was being towed by the star battleship.

Named entities: Star Battleship.

The huge gun mount, combined with its kilometer-long barrel, makes its size dwarf even the star battleship in front.

Named entities: Star Battleship.

The entire gun mount and barrel are pitch black, covered completely with formation patterns.

No named.

Especially the elongated barrel, whose diameter reaches over a hundred meters, with formation patterns extending from it onto the gun mount, spreading like blood vessels across the barrel.

No named.

Upon seeing this massive cannon, Luo Jiuyou couldn't help but stare in shock.

Named entities: Luo Jiuyou.

What the hell are you guys researching?

No named.

This kind of crude cannon-like device, Luo Jiuyou has naturally seen before; looks like something mortals would use.

Named entities: Luo Jiuyou.

At most, low-level cultivators might use one, but honestly, after living so many years, Luo Jiuyou has never seen such a huge crude cannon before.

Named entities: Luo Jiuyou.

Though it looks intimidating, what good is it? Against high-level cultivators, it's practically useless.

No named.

Is this the thing you've been researching?

No named.

It looks impressive, but it's actually useless.

No named.

It's not just Luo Jiuyou; others think the same, but the Artifact Master Alliance Elder explained.

Named entities: Luo Jiuyou and Artifact Master Alliance Elder.

"This is called the Heaven-shaking Cannon."

Named entities: Heaven-shaking Cannon; the term literally means Heaven-shaking Cannon and is not in the glossary, so we translate it as Heaven-shaking Cannon.

Huh???

Heaven-shaking Cannon? Blasting a thread of hair? This is just a big crude cannon; calling it heaven-shaking is absurd—you'd have to be able to kill a Heavenly Human Realm cultivator to be considered defying heaven.

Named entities: Heaven-shaking Cannon and Heavenly Human Realm; the term literally means Heavenly Human Realm and is not in the glossary, so we translate it as Heavenly Human Realm; the phrase 'defy heaven' is not an entity.

But as the Artifact Master Alliance Elder explained, everyone's gaze gradually shifted.

Named entities: Artifact Master Alliance Elder.

According to the Artifact Master Alliance Elder, this Heaven-shaking Cannon is the result of their painstaking research.

Named entities: Artifact Master Alliance Elder and Heaven-shaking Cannon.

First, its range: it can fire from tens of thousands of miles away.

No named.

Moreover, after improvements, the Heaven-shaking Cannon can absorb the spiritual energy and heavenly laws from within a radius of tens of thousands of miles.

Named entities: Heaven-shaking Cannon.

Through a series of compressions and transformations, it forms an extremely terrifying energy within the gun mount.

No named.

Although we can't yet determine the Heaven-shaking Cannon's true power, the Artifact Master Alliance Elder confidently said its power at least exceeds a full-strength strike from an Emperor Sovereign Realm expert.

Named entities: Heaven-shaking Cannon, Artifact Master Alliance Elder, and Emperor Sovereign Realm; the term for strong person is generic.

After hearing the Artifact Master Alliance Elder's brief explanation, Ye Zhangqing fell silent, while Luo Jiuyou's eyes widened in disbelief as he spoke.

Named entities: Artifact Master Alliance Elder, Ye Zhangqing, and Luo Jiuyou.

You're not joking? It's already within range from ten thousand miles away?

No named.

That's still the most conservative estimate; the range could be increased, though accuracy would suffer.

No named.

Huh???

The minimum range is ten thousand miles? Upon hearing that, Luo Jiuyou gave the black Heaven-shaking Cannon another look—could it really be that outrageous?

Named entities: Luo Jiuyou and Heaven-shaking Cannon.

Not only Luo Jiuyou, but even the Eternal Night Old Ancestor, an Ancestor Realm expert, looked at the Heaven-shaking Cannon with a complex expression.

Named entities: Luo Jiuyou, Eternal Night Old Ancestor, Heaven-shaking Cannon, and Ancestor Realm; the term for strong person is generic.

Could ordinary people really develop something like this? The weapon refiners and formation masters of the Haotu World just don't feel right.

Named entities: Heaven-shaking Cannon, Haotu Shijie, Weapon Refiner, and Formation Master.

On the other hand, Ye Zhangqing adapted quickly; the Artifact Master Alliance Elder and his companions were just like that, accustomed to it, and merely muttered a comment.

Named entities: Ye Zhangqing and Artifact Master Alliance Elder.

You're going to the Demon Realm—have you told the Second Elder?

Named entities: Demon Realm and Second Elder.

Since this concerns the Demon Realm, we naturally ought to inform Shi Song, especially now that Qi Xiong, Wu Shou, and Yun Xiantai are in seclusion, leaving all Haotu World affairs in Shi Song's hands.

Named entities: Demon Realm, Shi Song, Qi Xiong, Wu Shou, Yun Xiantai, and Haotu Shijie; note that a possible typo for Shi Song does not change the identification.

Upon hearing that, the Artifact Master Alliance Elder said.

Named entities: Artifact Master Alliance Elder.

"We did, but Elder Shi seemed to have other matters and couldn't meet, so we informed Elder Tian Nong instead."

Named entities include the person Shi Song, the rank Elder, and the person Tian Nong, based on the terms meaning Elder Shi and Elder Tian Nong.

Thus we need to include the person Shi Song, the rank Elder, and the person Tian Nong; also note the terms meaning Elder Shi and Elder Tian Nong, with the former appearing again later.

Huh???

Not seeing Shi Song? Ye Zhangqing felt things were strange, but didn't dwell on it.

Named entities: Shi Song and Ye Zhangqing.

Looking at this ship's weapon refiners and formation masters, their personal combat strength isn't much.

Named entities: Weapon Refiner and Formation Master.

If one were to go to the Demon Realm, being discovered by the demon tribe, it's likely that even running would be hard; after thinking, Ye Zhangqing turned his head and said to the Eternal Night Old Ancestor.

Old Ancestor, why don't we waste a little time and accompany them on a trip to the Demon Realm?

Ye Zhangqing also wanted to have someone to look after him; even if, when the time comes, they are discovered by the demon race, having Eternal Night Old Ancestor and them there can also shield the Artifact Master Alliance Old Ancestor and them while they withdraw.

Otherwise, if the Artifact Master Alliance Old Ancestor and them are all wiped out, then Haotu Shijie would not even have an Emperor-level Weapon Refiner or a Formation Master left.

By then, how are we to handle the Star Battleship and these formations?

Facing Ye Zhangqing's request, Eternal Night Old Ancestor indifferently said, as long as Ye Zhangqing is there, being able to eat a meal, he doesn't care where they go.

Eternal Night Old Ancestor nodded; the Yongye assassins naturally would not object.

As for Luo Jiuyou, there was even less reason, and moreover, he was full of curiosity about this huge cannon before him.

Could it really be that outrageous? Who among ordinary Weapon Refiners would be bored enough to study this thing?

He also wanted to see the cannon's power with his own eyes.

Everyone nodded and agreed; seeing this, the Artifact Master Alliance Old Ancestor and the others were overjoyed.

With Ye Zhangqing accompanying them, wouldn't they have a chance to eat along the way? Who could refuse that? Only a fool would refuse.
