Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Diagram of Rocket Crossbow Construction_1
"The Hanging Sky Imperial Dynasty? The Hanging Sky Order? What are those?"
The man's voice rang out, high and noble, carrying an air of supremacy that echoed throughout the entire Great Wu Imperial City.
"The Hanging Sky Envoy has arrived. Will the ruler of Great Wu not hasten to accept the Hanging Sky Order?"
The man claiming to be the Hanging Sky Envoy issued a booming voice again, his body radiating a ten thousand rays of light, like a divine being, making it impossible to clearly see his face.
"Has the Hanging Sky Order been sent to the Great Wu Dynasty too?" The one who spoke was Chai Ning, looking up at the Hanging Sky Envoy.
"The Hanging Sky Order, I will accept it on behalf of His Majesty."
It was not Chu Yuan who spoke this time, but a woman's voice.
The sky above the Imperial City was filled with firelight, and a loud phoenix cry rang out. It seemed as if immortal phoenix wings had appeared, and a graceful, noblewoman emerged from between them. It was Zhu Fengfeng.
Her cultivation was not Illumination God-level, but Concealment God-level!
Ever since she left the Mountain Range of Ten Thousand Beasts, she had not participated in any battles, big or small. Instead, she had secluded herself in her own mansion. After nearly a year, she finally used the immortal phoenix blood and ancient phoenix essence blood to advance her realm to the Concealment God-level.
The nobility of her bloodline could be said to be even higher than that of the ancient Phoenix ancestor.
In the beast race, the stronger one's bloodline and the higher one's cultivation level, the higher one's status.
"Concealment God-level? There is a Concealment God-level practitioner in Great Wu?"
The Hanging Sky Envoy was greatly taken aback.
Before coming, he had investigated the Great Wu Dynasty, acknowledging its rapid development. Still, he had not heard of a Concealment God-level practitioner. Such a strong existence, even in the Hanging Sky Region, could be considered a local overlord.
Today, one appeared in the insignificant Great Wu Dynasty.
The presence of a Concealment God-level practitioner made a complete difference.
"Who are you?"
The Hanging Sky Envoy examined Zhu Fengfeng, discovering that her aura seemed to contain a powerful Flame of Immortality. It seemed that she wasn't of human race, but a powerful beast race with an incredibly noble bloodline. He thought to himself, "What a strong imperial beast pressure, it seems like it's from the Phoenix clan!"
"I am the head of the Imperial Guards of Great Wu!" Zhu Fengfeng replied, "You claim to be the Hanging Sky Envoy, thus a servant of Hanging Sky. As a monarch cannot personally accept such an order, only his servant can!"
"You want to accept the Hanging Sky Order!"
The Hanging Sky Envoy immediately shone with ten thousand rays of light. Although he was a servant of Hanging Sky, his status was so noble that even some three-star imperial masters were inferior to him.
"Commander Feng, accept this Hanging Sky Order."
Chu Yuan rose from the Royal Palace into the sky, appearing like a blazing furnace. His immense power spread out, rolling towards the Hanging Sky Envoy.
Instantly, the divine glow enveloping the envoy shattered, revealing an astounded middle-aged man who never expected Chu Yuan could directly shatter his protective light.
The Hanging Sky Envoy was first surprised, then said, "Lord of Great Wu, the Hanging Sky Order is issued only once every hundred years within the Hanging Sky Imperial Dynasty. It can only be received by forces of three stars or above!"
"Go and accept it," Chu Yuan ordered.
As the Lord of Great Wu, facing a servant of Hanging Sky, it would be beneath his dignity to accept the order himself.
"Your servant obeys."
Zhu Fengfeng accepted the Hanging Sky Order.
Suddenly, a powerful aura from the Hanging Sky Imperial Dynasty exploded, proclaiming they were the sovereigns of the Hanging Sky Region. Accepting this order was akin to having an audience with the Emperor and Holy Master of the Hanging Sky Imperial Dynasty.
"Lord of Great Wu, the Hanging Sky Order has been dispatched. Please proceed to the Hanging Sky Imperial Dynasty two months from now."
The Hanging Sky Envoy, although speaking more politely due to the combat power revealed by Great Wu which also surprised him, said, "My mission is now complete. I'll be waiting at the Hanging Sky Imperial City for your esteemed arrival, and will now take my leave!"
As fast as he came, he left just as quickly.
"Your Majesty, by accepting this Hanging Sky Order, it means you have to go to the Hanging Sky Imperial City two months from now."
Chai Ning appeared and said.
"It seems Chairman Chai understands the significance of the Sky-Suspended Order."
Chu Yuan said.
"The issuance of the Sky-Suspended Order signifies the commencement of the once-in-a-century grand event in the Sky-Suspended Domain. Having recently ascended to the status of a three-star dynasty, Your Majesty might not be clear about certain matters."
Chai Ning said: "In the Sky-Suspended Domain, there lies the most dangerous first forbidden zone, now known as the Sky-Suspended Forbidden Territory. It is rumored to be a dimension shattered during the ancient times where gods and demons fought in a massive war that broke the heavens. The first forbidden zone is filled with numerous interlaid spaces; it is exceptionally dangerous."
God-Demon War?
A flicker crossed Chu Yuan's face.
He was not unfamiliar with this term.
His Taiyi Pill Furnace was originally a supreme god artifact, but its quality declined after experiencing a war between immortals, gods, and demons.
Could it be said that the first treasury of the Ancient Shang Kingdom is within that Sky-Suspended Forbidden Territory?
If this were the case, he would indeed have compelling reasons to go.
"So, what's the connection between the Sky-Suspended Order and the Sky-Suspended Forbidden Territory?" Zhu Fengfeng asked.
"The connection is significant. The forbidden territory, although dangerous, is laden with multiple treasures. People have obtained superior divine artifacts and even spiritual god tools from within it. Despite the peril, it is also a grand treasure hunt."
Chai Ningslowly said: "In that zone, one can easily lose their God Position if they are not careful, so most god-entities would not venture into the forbidden territory. Most who go there are in the state of nurturing gods or reflecting gods. Each time, the Sky-Suspended Dynasty dispatches a huge team because they have obtained spiritual god tools from there before."
"In other words, the Sky-Suspended Dynasty's invitation for three-star and above forces is mainly to use them as cannon fodder. Of course, there might be those that get lucky and find treasures."
Chu Yuan calmly stated.
"That is indeed the case. Despite the strength of the Sky-Suspended Dynasty, if they restrict access to the forbidden territory, it will inevitably lead to backlash. Instead, they allow certain people to act as cannon fodder. Though everyone understands their intention, the numerous treasures available there can greatly enhance a dynasty's strength if obtained.
Of course, the Sky-Suspended Dynasty, being the most powerful, acquires the most treasures each time."
Chai Ning said.
[Option 1: Decide to go to the Sky-Suspended Dynasty and enter the first forbidden land to gain 300 Destiny Points and x1 Blueprint of Rocket Crossbow]
[Option 2: Decide not to go to the Sky-Suspended Dynasty and gain 300 Destiny Points and x1 Blueprint of Mystical Tortoise Shield]
"Since the Sky-Suspended Forbidden Territory contains numerous treasures, I am quite curious, so I might as well have a look, and take the opportunity to see the Sky-Suspended Imperial City, the only five-star dynasty in this Sky-Suspended Domain."
Chu Yuan knew that the first treasury of the Ancient Shang Kingdom might well be inside the Sky-Suspended Forbidden Territory.
"Ding! The host has chosen Option 1, obtaining 300 Destiny Points and x1 Blueprint of Rocket Crossbow."
"Blueprint of Rocket Crossbow?"
Chu Yuan instantly turned his attention to the System Space.
Two completely different senses compared to the God-Slaying Crossbow.
This Rocket Crossbow didn't look much like a crossbow but was filled with a mechanical sense, more akin to the small handheld cannons from his memory. He promptly opened its description to examine its detailed attributes.
Rocket Crossbow Blueprint: A small single-soldier weapon crafted by a mechanical master with extremely long range. Its power depends on the crossbow arrow's material.
The primary crafting material of the Rocket Crossbow is similar to the God-Slaying Crossbow, just differing in quantity.
However, when it came to the crafting material for the crossbow arrow, they were entirely different.
There were several types of materials for crafting this crossbow arrow; the shell required Meteorite Fine Gold, and the inside needed materials like sulfur, magma, and other volatile, explosive substances.
Moreover, there was a kind of top-tier crafting material that could even utilize the star core magma from inside a constant star to craft a god-level rocket crossbow arrow.
The rocket crossbow arrow didn't look anything like the God-Slaying Crossbow Arrow and was much longer.
However, it was not as sharp, instead much larger, resembling a cone that was thicker at the bottom and pointed at the top, roughly the thickness of an arm.
Furthermore, the launch port of the Rocket Crossbow looked like a cannon barrel of a divine machine gun, shrunk many times over.
"This Rocket Crossbow is quite interesting."
