Chapter 264: Forging the Spirit Ship
This island was even larger than the previous one.
Xiao Shou quickly flew over and hovered above it, carefully sensing its condition.
This island was twice the size of the previous one.
There were also remnants of damaged defensive formation pillars.
On the outermost edge stood a stone stele engraved with the words "Chongsheng Ancient Sage Isle."
The island was the same as the previous one.
The buildings were destroyed.
There were signs of intense battle and bloodstains.
Yet there were no corpses, no survivors, and no living creatures in the sea nearby.
Again the same situation.
Xiao Shou frowned slightly.
He took out a jade slip from his storage bracelet.
This jade slip was a sea map he had specially purchased at the Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall in preparation for finding the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice.
Xiao Shou did not expect that he would end up using it here.
Inside the sea map, which was as complex as a starry sky, he searched for a long time before finally locating Chongsheng Ancient Sage Isle.
Then he expanded his search around it, skipping over many named and unnamed islands, until his gaze stopped at the three words "Yingzhou Celestial Isle."
He paused.
According to the map markings, this place was over 1.7 million miles away.
That distance was not exactly close.
However, with strange incidents already occurring near the nearby islands, it was still unclear what was happening around Northfrost Isle.
For now, the best option was to head to the Three Immortal Islands, which were unlikely to be affected, and gather information there.
Only by understanding what was happening, something that had never been described in the original story, could he make proper preparations.
That would be the correct approach.
Among the Three Immortal Islands mentioned in the Longevity Love, Penglai Immortal Isle, Fanghu Mystic Isle, and Yingzhou Celestial Isle, Penglai Immortal Isle was the farthest at over 16 million miles away, Fanghu Mystic Isle was over 9 million miles away, and Yingzhou Celestial Isle was the closest at about 1.7 million miles.
Even so, none of these distances could be covered in just a day or two of flight.
But given that the situation was unknown and the source of danger was also unknown, the correct choice was to stay away from danger and quickly find a strong faction to rely on.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shou gently tapped Yao Heng and said, "Yaoyao, I need some of your Ice Heart Tree and a tree core. Can you give them to me? I will trade you something else in return."
"Master does not need to trade! Everything I have is yours! As long as you do not let Yaoyao go hungry."
Yao Heng waved its small hands in the air as if searching for something.
"Master, how old do you want the tree core and wood to be?"
"Do not worry, I will not let you go hungry. As for the tree core and trunk, around Tier 5 will be enough," Xiao Shou said after considering the current level of his ability.
Yao Heng immediately waved its hand.
A large pile of Ice Heart Tree and a Tier 5 tree core appeared in front of Xiao Shou.
"Master, is this enough?"
"Yes, more than enough. There might even be extra."
Xiao Shou smiled and landed on the island with the materials.
Then he carefully recalled the materials used by Xiao Ran when refining the flying ship in the original work.
He took out what he already had, and searched the rest from the storage ring given by Tushan Qing.
As expected, Tushan Qing was extremely generous.
Materials that Xiao Ran had struggled to obtain were all present in the ring.
Ice Heart Tree and Ice Heart Tree Cores were abundant, but the lowest grade was Tier 7, which Xiao Shou could not currently use for fusion.
So he could only select other materials and assemble the required set described in the original story.
He first used the Void-Time Calyx to predict the fusion outcome.
After seeing that it would fail, he began analyzing the reason for the failure.
Xiao Shou thought about it.
The Dreamshard Illusion Sphere had clearly succeeded before.
Then he suddenly realized something.
The Dreamshard Illusion Sphere had a blueprint, but the flying ship did not.
Was that the reason?
If so, then in the absence of a blueprint, he should try another method.
Thinking this, he first drew the shape of the flying ship he had always wanted and tried again.
The Void-Time Calyx still predicted failure.
Seeing this, Xiao Shou took a deep breath and focused his attention.
He recalled the process described in the original story where Xiao Ran refined the flying ship as well as its final functions.
He used the Void-Time Calyx again.
This time, it actually showed success.
Xiao Shou was extremely surprised.
He concentrated on imagining the refining process, structure, and functions of the flying ship.
It actually worked.
If that was the case, then as long as he had enough materials, could he basically create anything?
How was that possible?
Many books said that creation was a power only possessed by world creators or gods.
He was just an unlucky cannon fodder character.
There was no way he could be connected to creation.
Xiao Shou shook his head and threw away that unrealistic thought.
He followed the successful prediction and began the fusion process.
In his slight carelessness, he forgot that Yao Heng was still lying on his hair.
Yao Heng watched in surprise as a strange light surged out from Xiao Shou’s hands and enveloped all the selected materials.
After a few breaths, the light faded and all the materials had disappeared.
At the same time, in their place appeared a small palm sized silver ancient ship.
It was delicate, exquisite, and emitted the aura of a top tier spirit treasure.
Xiao Shou looked satisfied as he examined the miniature warship, which was exactly the same as the design he had drawn.
