I, Who Hate Marine So Much, Have Become A Future Nika?

Chapter 282: Building the Sky Carrier!

After discussing with Senior Tao that day, three days later, a large number of foreign true transmissions entered the Shattered Star Lake with anticipation, listening to the heavenly music played by Zhong Cang.

Upon entering, looking at the crowded Shattered Star Lake, the emotions of the talented individuals were somewhat complicated.

Zi Mo: "Finally entered, I wonder if those exaggerated rumors are true or false."

Long Su: "Although not very friendly to the sect, I hope it's true. The Great Dao is difficult, and with the assistance of a secret technique, we can go further."

With different mindsets, everyone sat in the Shattered Star Lake, listening to the heavenly music.

Before listening, although they had heard countless wonderful things about the Heavenly Heart, they had not experienced it themselves, so there was always a hint of doubt in their hearts.

But soon, they knew that the Heavenly Heart in the rumors was not exaggerated and indeed had various wonders.

"Dong!!!"

As the sound of the bell rang, the vast and ethereal music instantly took their hearts and souls into the sky, making contact with something grand and magnificent.

At the moment of contact, it seemed that countless messages or insights emerged in their souls.

Moreover, as the first batch of foreign disciples to receive Zhong Cang's teachings, they mostly had resources to have Zhong Cang attach the Second Realm Heavenly Heart to them.

Therefore, after being attached with the Heavenly Heart, these people quickly discovered that the Heavenly Heart not only elevated their spirits to a faraway place but also made their souls extremely active and greatly increased their perception abilities.

"I have comprehended!"

The wonderful Heavenly Heart instantly caused a large number of cultivators to sink into it.

As foreign true transmissions, the spiritual power of these people could maintain the opening of the Heavenly Heart for a whole day.

They also wanted to open the Heavenly Heart for a whole day and comprehend the Great Dao.

However, Zhong Cang understood the principle of scarcity, so he only played the sound of the bell for one hour each day.

After one hour, no matter how reluctant the true transmissions and Foundation Building cultivators were, Zhong Cang would not pay attention to them.

After the teachings, Zhong Cang did not indulge himself.

After discussing with Senior Tao Juran, Zhong Cang began his own planning.

The Heavenly Dipper Purple Qi was handled by the sect, so Zhong Cang didn't need to bother too much.

But he fully participated in the establishment of the Floating Sky City.

He was also a formation master, and for formation masters, studying formation classics and comprehending the principles of heaven and earth was indeed important, but the actual arrangement of formations was also crucial.

Only by integrating knowledge and action could one enjoy the Great Dao.

Zhong Cang had a premonition that when the eight Floating Sky Cities were completed and ascended, it would also be the moment of his promotion to a grandmaster in formations!

...

If the Floating Sky City was built by Zhong Cang alone, it would take at least a hundred years.

But with more people, things became simpler.

On the fifth day after communicating with Senior Tao, nine formation grandmasters, fourteen artifact grandmasters, and ninety-one talisman grandmasters gathered in Zhong Cang's Shattered Star Lake to discuss how to build the Floating Sky City.

Before construction, specific blueprints needed to be designed, and Zhong Cang was the chief designer of the Floating Sky City.

Hmm... Purely speaking in terms of formations, Zhong Cang is the weakest among formation masters.

However, when it comes to designing a large-scale Law Treasure, it doesn't necessarily require a solid foundation, but rather a pioneering mindset.

With his past experiences, Zhong Cang's thinking is undoubtedly very broad, and many of his ideas are unheard of by others.

Therefore, during the initial design phase, Zhong Cang proposed various novel ideas and asked other formation masters and artifact refiners if they could accomplish them.

Fortunately for Zhong Cang, the formation masters and artifact refiners in the sect, who can be called masters, all have their own skills, and most of them claim to be able to fulfill his requests, no matter how outrageous they may be.

"An energy source that can operate independently under any circumstances? That can be guaranteed. Just build a super large-scale flame furnace. However, such construction requires many precious materials... Well, with your current status, you can afford it, but why does your Floating Sky City need so many augmented formations?"

The one being asked is Old Qin, the first master who helped Zhong Cang establish his own sect as his first disciple.

In response to his question, Zhong Cang respectfully said,

"That's right, Master. My Floating Sky City does not exist independently. In my vision, it will be a large-scale sea... sky station platform for our Cloud Firmament Sect."

"A Floating Sky City, in addition to having formation protection and attack capabilities, can also carry tens of thousands of cultivators as a basic combat unit."

"Because it has an independent energy source and can provide support, healing, protection, and supplies to cultivators, the Floating Sky City can serve as a sub-base for executing strategic missions in distant places and can also be stationed in one place for a long time, exerting influence."

"In addition, a well-built Floating Sky City can also tour our Cloud Firmament Sect and some disputed areas, greatly expanding our influence..."

In order to make the formation masters wholeheartedly dedicated, Zhong Cang explained the principles and importance of aircraft carriers from his past life.

If Zhong Cang's Floating Sky City is successfully built, he will be the overall commander of the aircraft carrier fleet, or rather, the airborne aircraft carrier.

There is no doubt that the aircraft carrier fleet, which has been tested in actual combat in the past, has aroused the curiosity and attention of the formation masters.

Previously, they had the idea of building the Floating Sky City for Zhong Cang out of goodwill.

Now, driven by curiosity, they want to actively build the Floating Sky City.

These formation masters are not fools and understand very clearly that if the Floating Sky City Zhong Cang mentioned really has such powerful capabilities, it will change the situation in the cultivation world.

And such a Floating Sky City will also be remembered in history.

Similarly, as the first group of formation masters and artifact refiners to design and build the Floating Sky City, they will also be remembered along with the Floating Sky City.

The path to immortality is elusive, and it is difficult for many formation masters to have hope for immortality.

Therefore, in another way, leaving their names in the history of the cultivation world has become the desire of many formation masters.

The reason why Old Qin took Zhong Cang as his disciple and trained him with all his might was to pass on the concept of using humans as formations and leave a mark in history.

He succeeded.

Because of Zhong Cang's Transcendent comprehension and the concept of using humans as formations, many people believed it was possible.

Old Qin was also vaguely referred to as a Grandmaster of the formation path.

The appearance of the Heavenly Heart further boosted his reputation. After all, no matter where Zhong Cang went, he openly stated that the Heavenly Heart was comprehended by Old Qin and he inherited and developed it.

This led many people to address Old Qin as Grandmaster, a position comparable to Nascent Soul.

His success also stimulated the formation masters here.

"Leaving a mark in history is difficult for me alone, but it's different when working with Zhong Cang."

"His comprehension cannot be calculated by common sense. If he can create the Heavenly Heart, it is not impossible for the Floating Sky City to become popular in the cultivation world."

The formation masters, artifact refiners, and talisman masters who think this way are judging Zhong Cang's project to be formidable based on his previous achievements.

However, there are some people who are more rational than these individuals. They know that even for the strong, success is not guaranteed every time.

Just that, after studying the design concept of the Floating Sky City, these people also have to admit that the Floating Sky City indeed has the potential to become a treasure of the sect.

"An independent energy core that allows the Floating Sky City to operate in various environments."

"The interior formation can expand the area inside the Floating Sky City, allowing it to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people and countless resources."

"Specially designed protective formations make it difficult for the Floating Sky City to be captured."

"The blessing formations can greatly enhance the combat abilities of the cultivators dispatched by the Floating Sky City..."

"There are also guardian flying dragon boats that can protect the city from surprise attacks..."

"With such a Sky City, and with Nascent Soul ancestors presiding over it, and Gold Core elders assisting, it truly is an impregnable Transcendent fortress!"

Some people, based on Zhong Cang's previous reputation, believe that his design is feasible, while others, after seeing the design of the Floating Sky City, believe that this type of Sky City has great potential.

This situation has made the formation masters, artifact refiners, and talisman masters in the project team highly motivated, working tirelessly day and night.

As they progressed, without Zhong Cang needing to say much, they voluntarily added more sub-projects to the Floating Sky City.

For example, the descent cabin - in Zhong Cang's design, the Floating Sky City is positioned at an altitude of ten thousand meters and never descends unless necessary, effectively avoiding countless attacks.

It can also bomb the ground from a high vantage point.

Of course, such attacks may have some accuracy issues for the Floating Sky City.

However, for the Floating Sky City, such a flaw is inconsequential.

- It is not a standalone combat unit but an aerial combat platform.

The tens of thousands of cultivators inside are the carrier aircraft of the Floating Sky City.

The combat of the Floating Sky City can completely involve descending to a certain location, conducting bombardment, and thoroughly destroying the enemy's formation and defenses.

After destroying the enemy's defenses, the cultivators can descend using the descent cabin to clear the battlefield.

- Regardless of the location, an army only possesses formidable strength when gathered together. Scattered individuals are not a match for an army.

Especially when there are many cultivators in the cultivation world, they can form formations, which can deal a devastating blow to scattered enemy forces.

What? You say the enemy also has formations?

The Floating Sky City is just floating in the sky, and anyone who dares to gather can be bombarded with formations.

In addition to the carrier aircraft, Zhong Cang also mentioned the envisioned space-based strike system.

Dropping from ten thousand meters high, even if it's just a large nail, it possesses terrifying attack power.

If the descending celestial nail is inscribed with runes such as armor-piercing, demon-breaking, spirit-breaking, and weight-increasing, it can completely create the space-based weapon, the Spear of God, envisioned in the previous world.

As for the problem of the long descent time of the space-based strike system, it is not a weakness on the Floating Sky City as a combat platform.

The Floating Sky City never fights alone.

Cultivators who descend in advance can completely use immobilization talismans, dragon-binding ropes, and innate spells to restrict the enemy's movements within a certain range.

In this way, they have no way to escape from the attacks of the space-based spear.

And the inscriptions on the Heavenly Nail, such as the runes of Zhenkong, Poling, and Pojia, can also make them unavoidable.

In addition to the Sky Strike System, the Dragon Boat Guard, and the Landing Cabin, Zhong Cang also had a team of formation masters develop an information collection system.

The enormous size of the Floating City allows for the design of large-scale search formations, which can detect maps and information within a radius of thousands or even tens of thousands of miles.

There is also the coordination of the Floating City.

In the previous life, the role of aircraft carriers was more or less the same, but in this world, Zhong Cang can completely build a Floating Sky City for each of the eight trigrams.

Then, the eight trigrams can be combined to form a massive Floating City formation...

Zhong Cang made many demands, and they were quite imaginative.

Such demands made the formation masters who joined the project team excited but also gave them headaches.

After all, formation masters are not gods. Zhong Cang's requirements require them to take time to think, improve, and complete.

Gradually, the initial manpower in the project team was not enough.

Fortunately, this was not a problem for Zhong Cang.

He didn't even need to invite anyone; many people begged to participate in this project.

- There were many people involved in the design of the Floating Sky City, and the news here inevitably leaked out.

Upon learning that Zhong Cang was planning to build eight Sky Cities, and that the success of these cities could change the battle situation in the cultivation world, many formation masters were willing to participate, even without spiritual stones.

Hmm... It can attract so many people, which is also related to Heavenly Heart.

"Senior Brother, you have to understand that the influence of a sect is determined by how far it can project its own power."

In the end, Zhong Cang had more than enough manpower to build the Floating Sky City, and even the resources were quickly replenished by the sect.

"Junior Brother, you've caused quite a stir, and is the Floating Sky City really as powerful as you say?"

"With the Floating Sky City, we can project organized cultivators millions of miles away."

And Zhong Cang was confident that he would ascend to the position of sect master. Once he became the sect master, he could completely modify and recruit the Floating Cities established by the sect, making those Floating Cities his own Daoist temples.

And if he wanted the Inner Scenery Heavenly Court to manifest in the mortal world, the most convenient way would be to use the Floating Sky City as the formation base to project and manifest the Inner Scenery Heavenly Court.

(End of this chapter)

It can only be said that reputation is quite useful.

The success of Heavenly Heart let many people know that Zhong Cang's comprehension cannot be judged by common sense.

"Seeing that Floating Sky City, and thinking about the tens of thousands of cultivators inside, if we have a dozen or twenty such cities, who wouldn't be afraid of facing such a Floating City?"

The person who came to inquire, without a doubt, was Tao Juran, the most handy person used by the sect master.

"If there are more Floating Cities, wherever they reach will become the territory of our Cloud Firmament Sect!"

It would be difficult for Zhong Cang to build 365 Floating Cities alone, but if he used the power of the sect, even if he couldn't build 365, building 36 would still be possible.

The reason for this was related to a conversation.

Facing his senior brother's curious gaze, Zhong Cang answered without hesitation, "Range is truth, caliber is justice... Ahem, I got it wrong, but not completely."

In order to completely convince the sect and have them build the Floating Sky City, Zhong Cang spared no effort - he would gradually perfect the Inner Scenery Heavenly Court, and in the end, there would be 365 palaces located in his Inner Scenery Heavenly Court.

The activities of the Floating Sky City project team were too significant, so as the sect master, Lin Yuan inevitably sent someone to inquire.
