Chapter 1708: Secret of the Ghost Face Ship

Zhao Hai was currently studying the ghost-face ship in the Space. As he was researching, Zhao Hai had to admit that the design of the ghost-face ship was very good. The entire ship was made of beast bones. Every bone was made by refining the energy of the entire beast into one bone. It can be thought of that each bone was equivalent to an entire beast’s toughness and strength.

After the bones were put together, they would be connected together using yin energy threads. The bones would become one and would thus become a ghost-face ship.

The ghost-face ship can use spirit stones for power, or it can use the ghosts in its bones to absorb the surrounding qi. However, most of the energy absorbed by the ghosts would become the ghost’s power. Only a small portion would power the ship. So when it came to battle, the ghost-face ship would still need spirit stones to completely function.

And the energy that was absorbed by the ghosts wasn’t wasted. When the ship is in battle, the ghosts would provide both offense and defense.

With this design, the ship should become stronger the longer it operates. However, in reality, this wasn’t the case. When making the ghost-face ship, the beasts that were used weren’t on the same level. Some beasts were powerful, while some were very average. So once the yin threads weaved the beast bones together, the strength became leveled once the ghost-face ship was made.

Beasts also have their own innate skills. The quality of their innate skill determines the beast’s strength. Therefore, after the ghost-face ship was made, some beast bones would absorb energy more quickly while some were very slow. Without the yin threads normalizing the energy, over time, there would be an uneven energy between multiple bones.

An uneven energy between the beast bones would have a great impact on the operation of the ghost-face ship. In the end, it would cause the ghost-face ship to collapse. Therefore, in order to maintain the ghost-face ship, the Wandering Soul Group would conduct a large-scale absorption of energy once a year. This would overload the beast bones with energy to normalize the entire ship’s energy level. This roundabout method of stabilizing energy caused the beast ghosts of the ship to cultivate slowly.

After examining the ghost-face ship, Zhao Hai finally reached a conclusion. The problem in making a ghost-face ship was the yin threads used to tie up the beast bones. However, these threads were the greatest secret of the Wandering Soul Gang.

These so-called yin threads were actually dark-attribute energy that had completely materialized. They acted as electric wires that could channel dark energy to the entire ship.

In order to make yin threads, a powerful dark-attribute energy was required. Not only does it have to be strong, it also needs to be pure. If any impurities were included, the yin thread wouldn’t function perfectly.

In the past, the Wandering Soul Group controlled a piece of land called the Sunless Valley. The yin energy in that valley was very pure. With its rich amount of dark-element energy, it was very suitable for the cultivation of the Wandering Soul Group. At that time, the Wandering Soul Group could send out a hundred ghost-face ships without hesitation. Moreover, these ships had been nourished by dark energy for a long time, causing their strength to be formidable. Additionally, they had numerous disciples in their ranks. With each one of them being nurtured by the Sunless Valley, all of them were very strong.

During that time, the Wandering Soul Gang was an absolute headache to the entire Great World of Cultivation. This was also the time where the Wandering Soul Group was at the peak of its domineering attitude. They were very rampant. In the end, the people they offended reached to a certain point that they were jointly dealt with by several powerful sects in the Great World of Cultivation. At the same time, the Sunless Valley has been destroyed. It could no longer produce yin energy. Because of this, the Wandering Soul Group’s strength drastically decreased. Moreover, during the battle, most of the ghost-face ships of the sect had been destroyed. The Wandering Soul Group was no longer as strong as before.

The current Wandering Soul Group was now occupying a different place. They moved because their current location also has a place that produced yin energy. Although it wasn’t as good as the Sunless Valley, it was better than nothing. However, this place produced impure yin energy. Therefore, the Wandering Soul Group would perform large-scale maintenance every year. If the yin threads were pure, then it could naturally equalize the energy inside the ships, which would greatly increase its strength.

Naturally, all of these didn’t come out of Zhao Hai’s analysis of the ghost-face ship. Even if he dies of exhaustion, he would never be able to find out all of these things by analysis. He got this information from the mouths of the Wandering Soul Group cultivators.

With the exception of the five Nascent Soul Experts, the other Wandering Soul Group disciples had been killed. Naturally, these killed cultivators became Zhao Hai’s undead.

Upon acquiring this information, Zhao Hai was naturally happy. This was because the Space had an abundant supply of dark energy, especially the place where the Undead reside. He can refine the perfect yin threads there. And as long as there’s yin threads, the ghost-face ships wouldn’t have any problems.

Just as Zhao Hai was about to begin preparing to make the ghost-face ship, Cai’er approached him saying that Zhang Feng had come.

Zhao Hai stared, then he immediately nodded as he appeared inside his residence in the Ignored Valley. Zhang Feng was currently walking out of the transmission formation, Zhao Hai was heading over to greet him.

Seeing Zhao Hai, Zhang Feng waved his hand, stopping him from giving a salute. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Little Hai, the message for the foreign trial has arrived. In a month, you would have to go over and participate. I came here to ask if you’re really able to come in and out of the subspace any time you want.”

Zhao Hai stared, he looked at Zhang Feng in confusion as he said, “Senior Brother, why do you ask? Is there a problem?”

Zhang Feng followed Zhao Hai into the cave residence. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, “The foreign trial this time is going to be different. The last foreign trial you attended was open for a month. During that month, you can go in and out anytime you want. But in the upcoming trial, it would only open for five days and would only reopen a year later. This means that you will be inside for a year. This year would be very dangerous. Unknown beasts and people from other sects will be your enemies. I don’t want you to suffer any accidents. So if you can’t exit the trial, I’d rather that you don’t go.”

Zhao Hai stared, then he said, “Senior Brother, rest assured, I can go out anytime. I can even go in with you. As long as you use the treasure ship, I can find a way for you to go in.”

Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Zhang Feng let out a long breath as he said, “That’s good. Remember, I don’t care if you discover anything inside or not, but you need to put your own safety first. If there’s danger, you need to go out immediately.”

Zhao Hai nodded. Zhang Feng glanced at the beast bones on the ground. Naturally, these were the bones that were from the ghost-face ship. Zhao Hai placed these here to show Zhang Feng that he was currently researching.

Zhang Feng looked at Zhao Hai and then said, “You don’t have to study these things. Prepare for the foreign trial first. By the way, the artifacts you sent over are very good. Senior Brother and the others are very satisfied with it. However, I didn’t tell them about you. Now that I have a lot of people under me, there are bound to be spies that had slipped in.”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “That’s fine. I also prefer that my identity is kept secret. Otherwise, it would not only be Hu Clan who would look for me. The other sects would also not let me off. I don’t want to become everyone’s refining slave.”

Hearing Zhao Hai, Zhang Feng couldn’t help but laugh as he patted Zhao Hai’s shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, I will not reveal who you are to everyone. Just believe in your First Senior Brother.”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Of course I believe First Senior Brother. There’s no need to worry about me. I can assure you that I would make a proper report about the new foreign trial. Senior Brother, do you want to make the new subspace our new base?”

Zhang Feng paused and then shook his head and said, “I’m afraid that wouldn’t be a good idea. You can only go in and out of the foreign trial. Even if we use a transmission formation, it would be bad. Someone tried it before. The person disappeared from the transmission formation but didn’t appear in the foreign trial. They had been missing ever since.”

Zhao Hai stared, then he smiled bitterly and said, “Of course it wouldn’t be that simple. If occupying a subspace is that simple, then those super sects might have already done it.”

Zhang Feng forced a smile and said, “The super sects tried seizing a foreign trial for themselves in the past. But that foreign trial closed and reopened a hundred years later. When it opened again, the cultivators inside had died. Moreover, they died not long after the trial closed. Most importantly, these cultivators had no signs of being attacked. Nor were there traces of infighting. They just died. Because of this, even the super sects didn’t dare occupy a foreign trial.”
