On the wall, blueprints of the Sky City were recorded, grand and complex, containing tens of thousands of formations of various types, as well as configurations for various powerful weapons.
If it could truly be completed, slaying gods would not be difficult.
Ji Mo was incredibly surprised. Great Immortal Kong Xu indeed had great ambition, but his heart immediately grew cold.
Could it be that the unknown enemies he would face in the future were gods?
However, as long as the Sky City could be built, this seemed like no big deal.
Currently, the Sky City was still in its preliminary construction phase. To complete it, a massive amount of resources would still be needed.
Only now could Ji Mo understand why Great Immortal Kong Xu had been a human trafficker back then, desperately making money. It was to fill such a bottomless pit.
"My body needs resources to be replenished, and building the Sky City also needs resources. I'm too stressed."
Ji Mo instantly felt immense pressure.
As the old saying goes, without money, one cannot move an inch. The cultivation world was truly resource-intensive.
Whether it was to nourish his own body or to complete the Sky City, both were distant goals.
Ji Mo sighed. In the future, he would probably have to find every possible way to get money.
He copied a portion of the Void Sword Control Technique and Void Sword Intent cultivation methods from the wall and walked out of the garden.
"Congratulations, Ancestral Master, on achieving great success in your divine art!"
Sima Hongfeng, leading a group of Void Sword Sect disciples, knelt down to congratulate Ji Mo.
Xia Wan'er's expression was awkward and somewhat reluctant. She harbored wicked thoughts and couldn't forget the matter of the Calabash Brothers.
"What divine art success? I've only learned a bit of the superficial aspects, not worth mentioning."
Ji Mo sighed. It was truly a pity. If he could cultivate, he would be able to fully inherit Great Immortal Kong Xu's legacy. But now, he had only learned some superficial sword techniques.
Upon hearing this.
Everyone's hearts were filled with admiration. Their Ancestral Master was truly humble and held himself to high standards.
The terrifying sword intent from before, and the invincible sword technique that could cleave the sky in a single blow, were likely unparalleled in the Immortal Spirit Realm.
"Ancestral Master's talent is peerless. He will surely achieve it sooner or later."
Sima Hongfeng believed that Ji Mo's sigh was because he had not successfully ignited his divine fire and entered the divine realm.
Indeed, becoming that supreme deity was incredibly difficult.
The Ancestral Master had only recently returned, and his body was still weak, so naturally, his strength was insufficient.
Once his body was replenished, he would surely succeed.
Ji Mo handed the two copied secret manuals to Sima Hongfeng and instructed, "Sect Master, lead the disciples to practice them diligently. I hope that every member of our Void Sword Sect will have a skill to practice, and each will be an invincible sword immortal."
"Void Sword Intent, Void Sword Control Technique!"
Sima Hongfeng's eyes widened in shock as he flipped them open.
When the other disciples heard this, their hearts surged with excitement and boundless joy.
Who would have thought that the Ancestral Master would bestow these two invincible immortal techniques?
Not long ago, Ji Mo had told them, "Today, if you remain loyal to the Void Sword Sect, one day, the sect will ensure you soar to great heights." At that time, they had been indifferent and didn't believe it.
Unexpectedly, happiness arrived so quickly.
Now that they had a million spirit stones and lacked no cultivation resources, and could also cultivate Void Sword Intent and Void Sword Control Technique, their future would not just be soaring to great heights, but their prospects were immeasurable.
At this moment, they felt incredibly fortunate, believing that choosing to coexist with the Void Sword Sect was the wisest decision they had ever made.
Xia Wan'er was also overjoyed, secretly praising her own cleverness for being able to cultivate the two most coveted immortal techniques within a few days of joining the Void Sword Sect.
A bold idea suddenly popped into her mind: should she be even bolder and try to become the Ancestral Master's wife?
"No, Xia Wan'er, how can you be so shameless, snatching a man from your godmother?"
Xia Wan'er felt immense shame, but ultimately, she couldn't suppress the stirrings of a young girl's heart. She felt it might be possible to probe her godmother's reaction first.
If there was truly no connection between her godmother and Great Immortal Kong Xu, it wouldn't be too late for her to make a move.
Sima Hongfeng trembled with excitement and wanted to kneel before Ji Mo again, but he was stopped.
Ji Mo said, "Sect Master, there's no need to be so polite. Uh, could you lend me some spirit stones?"
"Ancestral Master, what are you saying? The entire Void Sword Sect belongs to you. Take whatever you need." Sima Hongfeng said sincerely.
Ji Mo did not stand on ceremony. He ordered the disciples of the Void Sword Sect to bury the spirit stones from the flying boat in various locations of the Sky City.
This was to inject energy into the Sky City, and he wanted to test its power.
Almost all the spirit stones on the flying boat were moved out. Only then did the plaque engraved with 'Sky City' emit a faint glow, indicating that the energy was sufficient and it could operate.
Ji Mo felt an immense heartache. So many spirit stones were barely enough to provide the Sky City with the most basic energy. This was too exaggerated.
The plaque was the control hub of the entire Sky City. Ji Mo placed his hand on the plaque and instantly gained control of everything in the Sky City.
Whoosh!
Under Ji Mo's activation, the Sky City instantly vanished from its original spot and appeared dozens of miles away as a streak of light.
Such terrifying speed shocked everyone.
But it also consumed a tremendous amount of energy. The glow of the plaque dimmed considerably, meaning that a single instant of movement had consumed almost half of the spirit stones from the flying boat.
"What kind of displacement is this? It's too 'fuel-thirsty'!"
Ji Mo gasped, his face creased in distress.
As expected, a pauper had no right to drive a supercar; they couldn't even afford the fuel.
Although he now possessed the Sky City, he couldn't afford the energy required for its operation.
However, it was confirmed that the Sky City's flight speed was indeed incredibly exaggerated, and this was far from its limit.
"Let's try its attack power again."
Ji Mo began to activate the Sky City's attack formations and casually unleashed a strike downwards.
On the ground.
The divine beast that had broken free was hunting everywhere. Whatever living beings it encountered, it brutally killed and devoured.
Having been trapped in the Heavenly Star God Punishing Formation for over ten thousand years, it had almost been ground to death. Now extremely weak and hungry, it devoured blood and flesh indiscriminately to restore its body.
The divine beast was over thirty meters tall, enveloped in a layer of gray mist, making it impossible to discern its species.
At this moment, it held a female immortal under its claws and interrogated, "Are you saying Kong Xu kicked the bucket?"
"Great Immortal Kong Xu has been dead for over ten thousand years. It is said that he was ganged up on and killed, leaving no trace of his remains."
This female immortal was terrified. She never imagined that there was an incredibly ferocious divine beast lurking within the Void Secret Realm.
"Hahaha, excellent. This despicable and shameless bastard, with sores on his head and pus on his feet, deserved such an end."
The divine beast roared with laughter, its mood incredibly elated. It bellowed, "It's fortunate this bastard died early. If he had fallen into my hands, I would have..."
Before it could finish speaking, a lightning bolt as thick as a water vat descended from the sky, striking its posterior accurately.
"Ah..."
A piercing scream rang out, and a strong smell of burnt flesh filled the air.
"Kong Xu, I knew you old schemer wouldn't die so easily. You actually ambushed me. If you have the guts, show yourself for a one-on-one fight, and I'll tear you to shreds."
The divine beast roared in fury. Only that scoundrel Great Immortal Kong Xu would dare to sneak attack its posterior.
However, as soon as it finished speaking, the sky crackled with lightning.
Dozens of lightning bolts had locked onto it and were bombarding it from all directions.
"Your grandpa..."
The divine beast cursed loudly, covering its head and fleeing into the distant dense forest.
The female immortal dared not believe that she had actually survived.
She quickly prostrated herself on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Thank you, Great Immortal Kong Xu, for saving my life. From now on, I will set up a longevity tablet for you at home and offer incense to you daily."
