Chapter 177 - 162 Far Northern Land

He had found the flaw in less than a moment’s effort, as the composition of the runes and programming were so similar that Lin Fang was able to quickly adapt to and master this technology.

With a slight movement of his spiritual sense, Lin Fang channeled a gentle force into the crystal, purging all the unnecessary runes. The rune stone suddenly appeared much clearer.

"It looks much better now," Little Fox said, hopping and jumping around.

Lin Fang also smiled, and as he continued to channel his mana into the process, he suddenly felt as if the entire Treasure Ship was within his sight, an experience akin to the ability he had gained from the divine seal.

He couldn’t help but think to himself, "Could this thing be related to the divine seal?"

As the mana was continuously fed into it, the whole Treasure Ship began to radiate light. With Lin Fang at the helm, everyone felt a slight tremble.

"The ship is moving!" Little Fox and several little monsters excitedly shouted as they all scurried to the outside deck.

Indeed, they saw the Treasure Ship slowly rising into the air, an entirely novel sensation, prompting shouts of astonishment from the little monsters.

The Demon Kings stepped out of the control room, looking at the glowing Treasure Ship, sensing the power contained within, and they saw more than just its novelty—they recognized its potential for warfare.

"No wonder the Heavenly Court can dominate the Three Realms. With such a weapon of war, who could be its match?"

As battle-hardened Demon Kings, they naturally could see what lay behind the Treasure Ship.

Such a massive ship was perfect for transporting supplies or moving soldiers. After all, there were only so many Cave Heaven Treasures in the world, and many were revered by sects. To have one like Lin Fang’s, carried around and used so haphazardly, was very rare.

Moreover, the Treasure Ship could be mass-produced, and weapons could be installed on it. Thinking of countless Treasure Ships floating in the sky, with legions of divine archers attacking from above, sent shivers down their spines.

"We’re lucky this Treasure Ship showed up in Luzhou in the North. If it came to Zhilei Mountain, I’m afraid we would have been unable to withstand it," Old Wolf said as he stroked the side of the ship.

The operational Treasure Ship was even more powerful than when stationary; its runes, flickering between visibility and invisibility, endowed it with tremendous defensive capabilities, turning it into an impregnable fortress in the sky. If it weren’t for Yin Qi’s oversight in flying the ship too low, with the strength of the Demon Clan in Luzhou in the North, it would have been impossible to board the ship.

"From now on, this thing is ours. If we could get a few more, there’s no place in the Three Realms we couldn’t go," one of the Demon Kings dreamed aloud.

"What are you thinking? We got this one by catching them off guard. Getting a second one would be incredibly difficult, let alone managing it if you had it. Do you even know how to fly it?" someone said with a chuckle.

That question stumped the group as they looked at each other, forced to admit that none of them knew how to operate it.

"It’s not that hard; if you want to learn, I’ll teach you," the voice of Lin Fang rang in everyone’s ears.

Turning around, they realized Lin Fang had somehow left the control room without them noticing. White Dragon curiously asked, "Why did you leave the helm to come out here? Aren’t you afraid the ship will capsize?"

"Don’t worry, once the ship starts moving and the course is set, it will navigate automatically. There’s no need to guard it every second," Lin Fang reassured, waving his hand nonchalantly. This thing might appear complex, but it’s actually quite simple once you learn how to use it.

""I get a headache just looking at these runes. I’d rather die than have to fly this ship," Tiger King said with a laugh.

When he saw the complex runes at the control center, he knew he had no fate with the Treasure Ship; the mere sight of it was vexing, and learning it seemed harder than reaching the heavens.

However, Lin Fang just smiled and said, "Who am I, that such a small problem could stump me? Rest assured, I will create a foolproof operating system. By that time, you’ll all learn it with ease. As for the principles behind the Treasure Ship, why bother studying them? Knowing how to navigate it is enough."

Lin Fang’s words made everyone’s eyes sparkle with bright light. Who wouldn’t want to steer such a majestic Treasure Ship? They all clamored to sign up for lessons.

"Don’t rush, take your time. I’ll let each one of you have your fun," Lin Fang laughed loudly.

In the following period, Lin Fang and his companions stood by the Treasure Ship. Only after Lin Fang successfully developed the operation panel did everyone realize what a foolproof operation was.

A simple helm to control direction, a few buttons to speed up or slow down, and several joysticks to change modes suddenly transformed the Treasure Ship.

This simple method of operation quickly gained everyone’s approval. The Demon Kings vied to experience steering the Treasure Ship, and every day, the people living in this world could see the enormous vessel awkwardly drifting above their heads.

Those newly joined monsters naturally recognized it as the Heavenly Court’s Treasure Ship, so each time the ship passed by, it drew their onlooking and astonishment.

However, as time progressed, when the Treasure Ship traveled over their heads again, they didn’t even bother to look up.

After all, no matter who it was, seeing the same scene countless times each day would gradually numb them, even causing some to feel irritated.

Meanwhile, Lin Fang was already thinking about how to modify the Treasure Ship to make it even more powerful.

On the other hand, after bidding farewell to the Black Demon King, the Mysterious Person travelled northwards, crossing jungles and rivers until they saw endless snow.

Here was the Far Northern Land, perennially covered by ice and snow, where harsh winds howled past, bringing air cold enough to freeze all things.

Thus, this place was scarcely frequented by humans, with only a very few special animals existing within it.

However, today, a Mysterious Person arrived uninvited in this pristine land. Clad in a Black Robe that concealed their face, they sped through the snowfield. Their Mana created a barrier around them, repelling the chilly winds and ice.

After a long while, once they had penetrated deep into a towering mountain, they finally paused their steps. Looking at the mountain before them, the Mysterious Person let out a soft sigh: "At last, I’ve arrived."

Walking casually forward, they stopped in front of a radiant rock face. A Tungsten Iron Token appeared in their hand, its mysterious Runes lighting up.

Soon after, identical Runes also lit up on the ordinary-looking rock face, and a phantom door opened. The Mysterious Person walked into it with confidence.

The door closed, the rock face reverted to its original state, showing no sign of change, and the piercing winds continued to whistle as if nothing had happened.

Stepping through the door, a world filled with birdsong and the scent of flowers came into view, starkly contrasting with the cold outside—just one step separated two worlds.

The Mysterious Person who entered this realm seemed somewhat excited, quickening their pace as they walked through this beautiful world, startling countless butterflies into a dance in the air.
