Chapter 448: Refining the Heavenly Palace
Holy City.
After digesting the Memory Crystals of the Shenling Valley ancestor and the Ancestor King Yuan Que, Yin Qi also learned that race's methods for Primordial Spirit cultivation and offensive techniques, which were truly incomparably profound and provided him with great inspiration.
As for the two Cultivation Crystals, he kept them for now.
By his count, he now possessed one Saint King, two Saint, one King, and one Great Power Cultivation Crystal.
It was just a pity that he was currently a lone wolf with no subordinates under his command.
"Perhaps it is time to establish a force."
Yin Qi pondered inwardly.
However, there was no rush for this; he should first deal with the Ten Thousand Races Assembly in a month's time.
In the original story, the Ancient Race only dispatched a few Ancestor Kings to the Ten Thousand Races Assembly.
But this time, Great Saints would definitely appear.
Although he had already reached an agreement with the Human Demon that the other party would show up, and he believed Gai Jiuyou and Gu Tianshu would also watch from the shadows, he could not pin all his hopes on others.
The one-month timeframe he mentioned was actually time for his own preparations.
If one's strength is insufficient, make up for it with external objects.
Whether it be setting up Array Formations or refining War Artifacts, he had to prepare both.
In case of any accidents, he would be able to cope.
Thinking of this, Yin Qi sank his consciousness deep into his mind, looking at the three-zhang-high Luck on the Luck Altar, which had already begun to shift from red to purple.
"Altar, how much Luck is required to refine a Great Saint-grade Warship?"
Refining a warship himself would certainly be too late, and he had not yet found a way to replace the Thunder Pool.
Thus, he could only offer a Sacrifice to the Altar.
"Two zhang!"
Yin Qi frowned slightly.
In the Fengshen World, refining the Earth Immortal-grade Xuan Niao only cost two zhang of Luck.
Of course, that was because he possessed the complete set of Artifact Refining techniques.
Unlike this Great Saint-grade warship, which also required a power source to replace the Thunder Pool.
In that sense, it was not considered expensive.
After all, refining the Hunyuan Thunder Pool had cost him a full five zhang of Luck.
"Fine, proceed with the Sacrifice, using the Heavenly Palace as a blueprint."
"As you wish!"
Following the grand voice, the materials in his Space Ring diminished significantly, and the Luck on the Altar quickly dropped to one zhang.
A moment later, a Heavenly Palace appeared before Yin Qi.
This Heavenly Palace was identical to the one Yin Qi had refined in the Yang God World, and its offensive and defensive means were perfectly replicated, though its overall performance was far inferior to the original Heavenly Palace.
Roughly, its combat power was about the same as the God Mountain.
At the same time, the Altar also transmitted information regarding the power source to him.
This power source that replaced the Thunder Pool was named the Star Furnace, capable of drawing energy from all stars within one thousand light-years for its own use; furthermore, this Star Furnace could condense a rare treasure called Imperial Flame Paste, which had the effect of cleansing the marrow and improving one's aptitude.
Of course, it could also assist in cultivation, containing vast and pure solar Divine Power.
Although it could not compare to Thunder Water, it was still better than Source.
"Not bad!"
Yin Qi smiled happily.
With this Heavenly Palace Number, his safety was basically guaranteed.
As his thoughts stirred, the Heavenly Palace Number turned into a stream of light and submerged into his Bitter Sea.
Boom—!
In the Bitter Sea, purple-gold waves surged to the heavens.
The Heavenly Palace Number hovered above the Bitter Sea, and the nine Life Springs shot out Divine Power one after another, continuously nourishing it.
"After the matter of the Ancient Race, it is time to return to Earth."
"Eh, wait, I almost forgot about this."
Yin Qi suddenly remembered that the Flying Saucers from the Eternal Star Domain seemed to be arriving at the Beidou Star soon.
The Eternal Kingdom was a star domain with a high degree of integration between technology and cultivation; they were skilled in Artifact Refining and Evolution Liquid, which were new types of Artifact Refining and Alchemy techniques with great learning value.
If brought back to the Fengshen World, it would greatly enhance the development potential of the Human Race.
Thinking of this, Yin Qi quickly performed a Calculation.
Soon, he had the result.
"Half a year!"
That is to say, the Flying Saucers of the Eternal Kingdom would arrive at the Beidou Star in half a year.
Having finished refining the warship, the next step was to set up the Array Formation.
If not for his insufficient cultivation, setting up an Emperor Array would not be difficult, and the reason he chose to welcome the Ancient Race in the Holy City was because the location of the Holy City was excellent, with nine Dragon veins converging underground.
He could fully borrow the power of the nine Dragon veins for his own use, forcibly raising his combat power to the Great Saint level.
Although the Source Heaven Book contained Secret Techniques for borrowing the power of Dragon veins, the degree of improvement was limited; to reach the Great Saint level, he had to set up an Array Formation in advance.
In the original story, Ye Fan repaired the Source Heaven Ancient Array in the Starry Sky, thereby defeating the Heavenly Tyrant Body.
Just as Yin Qi was about to go out, he saw Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and the Black Emperor rushing over with a group of young Heavenly Prides; their eyes were filled with admiration, especially the women like An Miaoyi, Ji Ziyue, and Yan Ruyu, whose gazes were almost melting.
"Yin Qi, you are too amazing; even the Shenling Valley ancestor was killed by you."
Pang Bo was incredibly excited, feeling a sense of shared honor.
After all, he is his fellow villager; the more powerful Yin Qi becomes, the more he and Ye Fan can walk sideways across the Big Dipper Star.
Ji Haoyue, dressed in white, said with concern: "Brother Yin, is your duel with the Ancient Race in one month's time a bit rash? As far as I know, among those Taigu Royal Families, there may even exist Great Saints."
"Why don't you just leave first."
"As long as you do not appear, the Ancient Race will not dare to act recklessly."
He said this out of good intentions.
In fact, he had long guessed that it was Yin Qi who intercepted them in Yan State back then and let Yan Ruyu go.
Back at Zhuo Peak, Di Qi was also Yin Qi.
However, those grudges seem insignificant now, and there is no way to get back at him.
Everyone nodded one after another.
Yan Ruyu even said: "Yin Qi, if you have need, I can lend the Chaos Green Lotus to you temporarily."
Swish! Swish!
Everyone looked at her, an inexplicable expression flashing in their eyes.
Even though Yan Ruyu has good composure, she could not help but have her cheeks flush slightly.
This is an Emperor Weapon!
Is Yan Ruyu not afraid that this Chaos Green Lotus might be borrowed and never returned?
Yin Qi's heart stirred, and he smiled slightly: "Rest assured, if I did not have three parts of certainty, I would not dare to challenge the Ancient Race. As for the Chaos Green Lotus, if I need it, I will speak up; I thank you in advance, Princess."
By utilizing the Source Heaven Ancient Array, his combat power is enough to be raised to the Great Saint level, and with the addition of the old man Human Demon, as well as Gu Tianshu and Gai Jiuyuan who might strike from the shadows at any time, blocking the Ancient Race should not be a big problem.
The only thing to worry about now is the Ancient Race deploying an Imperial Weapon.
At that time, the Chaos Green Lotus would truly be needed.
"You have certainty!?"
Ji Haoyue and the others were shocked, finding it somewhat unbelievable.
There is still a large gap between a Saint King and a Great Saint.
Therefore, although he can kill a Saint King, it does not mean he is a match for a Great Saint, and he might even face several Great Saints.
Unless Yin Qi has other trump cards.
Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and Black Emperor were not worried at all; half a year has passed, and Gai Jiuyou should have already recovered to his prime, so he will definitely be watching from the shadows when the time comes.
With the old man Human Demon in front and Gai Jiuyou in the shadows, there is no big problem.
However, this is also thanks to Yin Qi's planning; if not for Yin Qi rescuing the Human Demon in advance and using the auction to send the Phoenix Divine Pill into the hands of Gai Jiuyou, the Human Race would truly be in danger.
Seeing that Yin Qi had confidence, the crowd did not say anything more, and they all expressed that after returning, they would persuade their respective factions to unite and contribute manpower and effort to resist the Ancient Race.
It is just a pity that they do not know that the vast majority of their respective factions will choose to protect their own interests.
