After all matters were concluded, the Long Rank Commandants in the courtyard gradually departed.
Thus, for a time, only Old Lady Feng and Li Hai remained in the entire courtyard, along with some guards and attendants.
Watching the Long Rank Commandants slowly depart, Feng Heyue suddenly asked Li Hai:
"My child, do you know the identities and positions of these Long Rank Commandants?"
Li Hai shook his head, indicating he did not know.
Seeing this, Feng Heyue smiled and slowly said:
"They are basically the commanders and vice-commanders of various provinces and regions in the south, all at the Thousand Army Grade."
Upon hearing this, Li Hai couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Why are they all Thousand Army Grade? Are there no Grandmasters?"
In his opinion, for a place like Dragon Mountain, though it stretches for ten thousand li, it is barren and desolate, so managing it with just one Thousand Army Grade Demon Slayer Division commander could be considered acceptable.
However, within the Great Jing, there are numerous cities, towns, and a large population, yet they still only use Thousand Army Grade individuals as commanders, which seemed somewhat insufficient.
Then Old Lady Feng sighed:
"Excluding Ming Yingjie and his brothers, there are only two Grandmaster Grade individuals left in the Division: you and this old woman."
Li Hai listened, then fell silent.
This was yet another thing that he had not expected.
He hadn't thought that such a large Demon Slayer Division would be so lacking in Grandmasters.
No wonder, no wonder Old Lady Feng would be so lenient with Ming Yingjie and the other two.
It was simply that the Demon Slayer Division was experiencing a decline in talent.
"However, fortunately."
Feng Heyue said with a smile, "Fortunately, we have you now. With a Perfection Grade Great Grandmaster like you, one is enough to equal many ordinary Grandmasters. Hmm—there are no other matters here, let's return to the Central Capital."
As soon as she finished speaking, she lightly shook her sleeve and took out a circular crystal, about half the size of a palm, then casually tapped its surface a few times.
Drip~
Following a soft sound, Li Hai suddenly felt a wave, almost like an electronic signal, flash and disappear.
"?" He looked at the crystal and asked curiously, "Feng Nainai, what is this thing?"
Feng Heyue smiled slightly: "This is the key to the ancient divine weapon, the Bì Luò Tian Zhou (Azurefall Sky Ark)."
"Bì Luò Tian Zhou (Azurefall Sky Ark)?" Li Hai was even more puzzled, "What is that?"
Feng Heyue said gently: "Don't rush, you'll know in a moment."
Upon hearing her say this, Li Hai was no longer anxious and stood there quietly waiting.
After waiting for only a little over a minute, Li Hai's eyebrow twitched, and he looked up at the sky.
Immediately, he saw—at the distant end of the sky, an elliptical object, its surface shimmering with a cold metallic luster, its overall lines smooth and flowing, like a giant silver egg, slowly descending towards the ground below.
And as this elliptical object gradually descended, large expanses of air and layers of clouds surrounding it, seemed to be violently churned and churned by some mysterious force field.
As they churned, they formed visible, enormous ripples of Qi flow, spreading outwards in concentric circles.
Looking from afar, it was as if a dynamic scroll was slowly unfolding in the sky.
Li Hai, watching this scene from below, said contentedly:
"This—this is a Universe spaceship."
Through visual estimation, he calculated that the spaceship was approximately two hundred zhang long and one hundred and fifty zhang wide.
This size was many times larger than the largest aircraft carriers on Earth.
"Spaceship?"
Feng Heyue, standing beside him, smiled and said, "That word is quite direct and concise, but it's usually called the Bì Luò Tian Zhou (Azurefall Sky Ark), and it's my personal vehicle."
Then, when the spaceship was close enough to the ground and the clouds at its location were thin enough, Li Hai discovered that besides two openings at the rear continuously flashing with deep blue light, its entire body was smooth and polished like a mirror, reflecting the mountains and land below with clear visibility.
It was as beautiful as a work of art.
Next, this Sky Ark, like a thick metal cloud, cast large shadows as it hovered about a hundred zhang above the mountaintop.
"Let's fly up."
Feng Heyue smiled and looked at Li Hai, saying, "If this Sky Ark were to descend to the ground, this garden would be ruined."
"Okay." Li Hai nodded, "I'll listen to you."
Immediately, the two of them ascended without wind, instantly crossing a hundred zhang and hovering beside the Bì Luò Tian Zhou (Azurefall Sky Ark).
Then, a circular portal suddenly opened on the mirror-like side of the Sky Ark, and the two of them flew into it.
Once they entered the Sky Ark, the circular door closed again, returning to its original mirrored state.
Then the Sky Ark vibrated with a hum, and as two thick beams of light suddenly erupted from its rear, it instantly flew towards the direction of Da Jing Zhong Jing (Great Jing, Central Capital) at a speed many times faster than the speed of sound, disappearing into the distant sky.
Inside the Sky Ark, Li Hai followed behind Feng Heyue, slowly walking into a clean and spacious hall.
After Old Lady Feng slowly walked to the center of the hall and sat down in a large, soft chair, she smiled and said to Li Hai, who was sitting opposite her: "Do you like this Sky Ark?"
"It's good." Li Hai returned the smile, "It feels quite cool."
"Hahahaha." Feng Heyue said gently, "In the future, all of this will be yours."
While chatting with Old Lady Feng, Li Hai's spiritual perception slowly expanded, gradually enveloping the entire Sky Ark beneath his feet.
Immediately, Li Hai clearly 'saw' the Sky Ark's incredibly intricate internal structure.
Within it, metal supports, thick or thin, crisscrossed, supporting the entire Sky Ark's hull like the bones of a giant.
At the same time, numerous Unknown crystals, shimmering with strange light, were embedded in all of these supports.
Wisps of Unknown energy constantly enveloped these crystals, rhythmically oscillating and surging.
Additionally, thousands of pipes transporting streams of deep blue liquid, like blood vessels, interwove among the metal supports, their purpose Unknown.
Finally, in the core area of the Sky Ark's overall framework, a spherical device, about the size of a house, seemingly made of metal and crystal, and densely connected to all pipes and supports, floated.
The clean white hall where Li Hai was currently located was above this spherical device.
But none of this surprised him too much, because what he had seen and heard earlier in Rui Chuan City had prepared him sufficiently.
That is, on the Yu Continent, where countless prehistoric civilizations had been born, anything excavated was understandable.
Even spaceships, or even Gundams.
But this time was different.
This time, with this Bì Luò Tian Zhou (Azurefall Sky Ark)—Li Hai actually saw its personal interface.
So this… is it alive?!
