Chapter 545: Chapter 18 New Flying Boat [Request for Monthly Votes!]_1

On a desolate hill in the outskirts of Yu Capital City, Chu Liang was excitedly looking at the enormous flying boat parked in front of him, falling silent from awe.

With his full support, Wen Yulong spared no expense for the renovation of the flying boat only concerned about its effects. He spent several months researching it and now, its exterior appearance has been completely transformed.

However...

"Junior Brother Wen, I remember telling you... I wanted a simple color," Chu Liang said slowly.

In front of their eyes, the large flying boat was painted in patches of red, green, and purple... resembling a colorful quilted jacket that people in the North Region used for winter. The palette was so diverse, it was rather eye-catching.

Compared to this, the previous black color now seemed rather plain.

"Hehe, Senior Brother Chu, you’re not aware of the mystery behind this." Wen Yulong smiled and said, "The original material, Primordial Black Gold Iron, used in the flying boat is already considered a top-grade material and can’t be altered. So, to change the color, we could only add another layer on the exterior. Simply putting on a paint of another color would be too mundane. After much contemplation, I crafted an addition of Spirit Illusion Hundred-Flower Lacquer on the outside. This is one of the newest treasures to come out of Taotie City!"

Leaving those words behind, he held the inscription tablet activating the flying boat and flew into the cabin. With a loud bang, he initiated the array runes.

Whoosh——

Under the stimulation of spiritual energy, the colorful patches on the flying boat began to flow, quickly transforming into a scene of flowing water.

Wen Yulong’s shouts came from above, "After stimulating the spiritual energy, you can have whatever color you want and it can change according to the environment."

As his voice fell, the color of the outer shell of the flying boat gradually matched the surrounding mountain, slowly blending into the environment. If one were looking from a high vantage point, it would be difficult to see. If it’s flying in the sky, transforming into azure blue, it would be impossible for the naked eye to recognize.

After a series of demonstrations, Wen Yulong jumped down proudly. Once the injection of spiritual energy was lost, the flying boat immediately reverted to the colorful pattern.

"How is it?" Wen Yulong asked.

"It’s unexpectedly... extraordinary..." Chu Liang hesitated for a while and said, "Not bad."

As long as the boat was powerful, its striking color wasn’t unacceptable. A strong cultivator in colorful jacket was still a powerful cultivator, an extravagant car in multiple colors was still an extravagant car. There was no need to fuss over this. At least now, no one could recognize that this flying boat was the one belonging to the Purple Gold Marquis. Even if Dream Soul Lady couldn’t recognize her own, their objective was achieved.

Then he boarded the flying boat with Wen Yulong and casually asked, "What name did you give it?"

Every artifact created by Wen Yulong was named by him, which was an unspoken agreement between the two. Naturally, this Soul Dream Flying Boat had to be renamed after its refurbishment.

Wen Yulong laughed and said, "This time, thanks to your support, Senior Brother Chu, I had the chance to remodel it in the way I wanted. In gratitude to you, I took a character from each of our names and decided to call it... Liang Longhao!"

Whoosh.

The name and color scheme of the second-hand flying boat matched surprisingly well.

When they got into the flying boat, everything had been completely refurbished. Wen Yulong introduced, "As per your request, I’ve removed all the powerful weapons from the original boat... and replaced them with more potent ones."

With those words, he pressed the inscription tablet on the array rune and activated the flying boat again.

"The Soul Suppressing Stone Sculptures on this boat are quite effective against spectral creatures, so I kept them... and altered them a bit."

Rumble——

Amidst the roar, four stone sculptures emerged from the bow and stern of the boat, carrying an intense pressure, which no spectral creature could get past.

Then, Wen Yulong activated it again.

Amazingly, the sculptures opened their eyes all at once! This was a capability they had not initially possessed. The eyes of the stone sculptures were filled with a bright red crystal stone, and when the array runes were stimulated, they actually spat a round of Soul-Burning Fierce Flame as they opened their mouths!

Whoosh——

As the blazing flames filled the sky, even Chu Liang was taken aback by their intensity. If an ordinary person were to be hit by these flames, their soul would surely be scattered instantly.

With another movement of Wen Yulong’s hands, golden dragon-like lightning appeared on all sides of the flying boat, purple-black thunder and red-gold flames. When the flames spread, they could turn into a defensive fiery blaze surrounding the boat, and when gathered, they transformed into a surged sword, charging forward!

Accompanied by the concentration of flames, a thick spear probed out of the boat.

"This Flame Spear at the bow of the boat is only ten feet long. But as long as the flying boat is moving at full speed, it can ram into anything or anyone. Even the Seventh Realm Demon Beast will suffer," Wen Yulong confidently said.

Hearing this, Chu Liang, had a hunch, "Full speed can hit the Seventh Realm Demon Beast?"

If the Seventh Realm Demon Beast can’t dodge it in time, how fast would it have to be?

"Hehe, this involves the most crucial part," Wen Yulong said. "To achieve the speed you demanded for the flying boat, I especially sought out several masters who specialize in refining these kinds of array runes. Finally, I managed to advance one step further based on the original foundation."

Boom Boom Boom——

He activated the array runes to make the flying boat take off, "The array runes are divided into three stages. The first stage works with your stimulation of spiritual energy, the speed is more or less similar to your usual wind control. The second stage requires a large number of Storage Spirit Jade Runes, but it can approach the speed of the Seventh Realm expert’s wind control. The third stage will consume all the Storage Spirit Jade Runes stored in the flying boat for a short, long-distance extreme speed travel."

In the course of his explanation, he accelerated the flying boat to an extremely fast speed, causing it to howl and rise.

"Does it consume Storage Spirit Jade Runes?" Chu Liang was shocked.

The Storage Spirit Jade Rune, as the name suggests, stores spiritual energy within the jade rune for usage by magic artifacts.

However, these jade runes need to be specifically crafted by cultivators and are rather expensive. He had previously wondered how those powerful effects were achieved – turns out it was all due to these Storage Spirit Jade Runes.

It was essentially burning money.

And at a quite exaggerated rate at that.

It’s not that he was stingy. It was just that the price of one Storage Spirit Jade Rune could buy a large amount of Soul Saliva Incense. Instead of propelling the flying boat in this way, he’d rather ride Old Fei to fly.

"If one day you advance your cultivation to the Seventh Realm, you can spur it with your own spiritual energy. For the time being, though, it won’t work," said Wen Yulong.

"Well, that’s worth a try then. Better stop it now." Chu Liang forced the array rune to end, and he took the inscription tablet down.

"No, don’t!" Wen Yulong suddenly shouted.

"Hmm?"

"I deliberately left a failsafe. Forcing the array mark to end will be regarded as the loss of consciousness by the operator of the flying boat, and the flying boat will immediately enter the third gear escape mode!" exclaimed Wen Yulong.

"Escape?"Chu Liang immediately recalled some unpleasant memories: "Could it be like before...."

"Just like that!"

In the time while they were talking, a gigantic shell above the flying boat had started closing with a rumble, plunging everything into darkness. The whole flying boat was just like a dazzling, colorful coffin, suddenly ejected with a loud bang!

Back then, the protective mechanism of the Green Leaf Magical Instrument Wen Yulong crafted was to wrap people up like rice dumplings and then bolt away with extreme speed. This design concept had been applied to the flying boat he surmised.

It had truly been carried on to great effect.

Luckily, they hadn’t adjusted the direction just now. The flying boat should be heading downward, so it shouldn’t fly too far before hitting the ground.

Boom——

The sound of wind and thunder roared as both of them aboard the flying boat vaulted into the air, thrown into a spin before the flying boat suddenly came to a halt.

...

Thump——

When the cover of the flying boat was lifted, Chu Liang scrambled out fairly bedraggled. Looking left and right, it seemed they were still in the wilderness. Luckily, he had feared crashing into any crucial places, like the Imperial Grand Temple or Yu Capital City, where he might be mistaken for a member of the Demon Cult.

But soon he heard a surprised shout, "Chu Liang?"

Turning his head, he saw that it was Xu Hongqiu, dressed in a stunning red outfit, standing beside the flying boat, looking at him with a blank expression.

Chu Liang and Wen Yulong climbed out and jumped to the ground.

"Miss Xu, why are you here?" Chu Liang asked.

"This is the back hill of my house..." Xu Hongqiu replied blankly: "My Master said he would teach me a new formation, and brought me here to test..."

So this was the back hill of the Giant Whale Mansion. Chu Liang had been here before. Indeed, it’s not too far from Yu City, so landing here seemed about right.

"Miss Xu’s master, could it be the world’s top Array Immortal Dong Futu?" Wen Yulong eagerly asked: "I’ve been wanting to pay a visit to him for a long time! Is he here?"

As Chu Liang’s friend, he naturally had contact with Xu Hongqiu before and knew about the master from whom the Giant Whale Guild’s young lady had learned. For an artifact refiner like him, array runes were extremely important – perhaps the most vital part – since the materials given by heaven are transformed through his own refining.

So, artifact refiners hold array masters in high esteem.

Like this time, to modify the flying boat, he consulted with several well-known array masters.

Upon hearing Wen Yulong’s words, Xu Hongqiu slowly moved her gaze towards the half-buried flying boat.

Chu Liang and Wen Yulong followed her gaze downwards, and they both gasped at the same time, exchanging terrified glances.

Suddenly, the flying boat started vibrating loudly.

Puff——

The dazzling body of the flying boat was slowly lifted, revealing a more miserable figure in the pit. A middle-aged man of medium height – perhaps even shorter after today. His normally black face now seemed even darker.

Chu Liang has met him before. It was this man, who almost directly assassinated Jiang Shenting with an insidious formation.

It was Array Immortal Dong Futu!

One could see Dong Futu lifting the Liang Longhao with one arm, spitting out a few words from between his teeth.

"The two of you youngsters, better sleep with one eye open in the future..."
