The warship was like a dragon whose scales were all erect. It was aggressive and murderous.
Although it was only the size of a little finger, Li Yao felt that it was magnificent and unstoppable.
It was as if the warship could suppress a planet.
Although it was just a model, every detail of the warship could be seen clearly. Many parts of the warship were too delicate to be seen with the naked eye.
Li Yao groped the warship with his spiritual threads before he could see the whole picture of the warship.
Those erect "scales" were all densely packed turrets.
The turrets were completely different from the crystal warships of the Tian Yuan Realm.
With his intuition as a refiner, Li Yao felt that the design and power of the turrets were more excellent than the crystal warships of the Tian Yuan Realm.
In front of the warship, there was a cylindrical device that looked like an angry dragon. It should be the main gun of the warship.
Li Yao studied it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what kind of weapon it was.
"This warship model should be a product of one of the Guilds of Provenance in the era of the Star Ocean Imperium."
The era of the Star Ocean Imperium was the peak of human Cultivation technology. Under the leadership of the Supreme Emperor, each of the twenty sects of Provenance had the power to transcend galaxies. They had also developed magical equipment and training systems of different styles.
After the Armageddon Rebellion, most of the magical equipment and Cultivation systems were lost.
This warship model should be a product of that era.
However, was it really just a model?
Li Yao blinked. He held the warship model in his hand and thought quickly.
If it was just a piece of art, there was no need to collect it so well. Why would it be kept in a Cosmos Ring and locked with barriers?
There must be something wrong!
He pondered for a moment. Li Yao bit his fingertip and squeezed a drop of blood on the warship model.
He was going to use the Blood Sacrificial Refining Technique of the Hundred Smelting Clan. He was going to uncover the secrets of the warship model.
"Shua!"
The warship model was like a living creature. It sucked a drop of blood. When it was sucked in, it emitted a feeble redness and shivered slightly.
"It works!"
Li Yao was delighted.
Blood Sacrifice was not as simple as sprinkling a drop of blood on the treasure to make it automatically recognize its owner. There was a series of lengthy and complicated secret methods.
At the very least, this battleship model did not reject his blood, which meant that it was most likely the product of a cultivator.
If it was a magic treasure refined by demons, devil cultivators, or other alien races in the universe, it would be extremely difficult to refine. It was unlikely that it would accept the blood of a cultivator so easily.
Faced with a piece of magical equipment from the Star Ocean Imperium, Li Yao did not dare be careless. He rubbed his fingers and squeezed out ten drops of blood. Then, he bit the tip of his tongue and spat out three drops of blood.
The blood on the tip of his finger and the tip of his tongue mixed together and turned into a bloody mist.
Under Li Yao's control, the blood mist seemed to have a life of its own, interweaving into a red net. It enveloped the warship model and was then sucked clean.
In an instant, Li Yao felt it. A very weak mental connection was established between him and the warship model.
This feeling was somewhat similar to when he first wore the Crystal Suit.
Li Yao's heart was beating like a drum. Dozens of spirit threads gushed out from his spiritual root and gently pierced into the warship model.
The spirit threads drove straight in. The warship model did not resist at all. Instead, it produced a strong suction force, as if it was going to suck Li Yao's entire soul into it.
When Li Yao realized that something was wrong. It was too late.
There seemed to be a terrible vortex in the warship model. A portion of his soul had been forcibly sucked in!
"Shua!"
It was like opening a Half-step Great Illusionary Land. It was also like his soul was split into two halves. Two worlds appeared in front of Li Yao's eyes.
In the first world, he was still in the suite, holding the warship model in his hand.
In the second world, he came to a narrow space shrouded in gray fog that he could not leave.
In front of him was a 360-degree revolving light beam. Countless complicated control interfaces were flashing out from time to time. It was a hundred times more complicated than the control system of the furnace or the Crystal Suit!
What made Li Yao dumbfounded was that in the revolving light beam, there was a "tall and magnificent" giant with a silly look.
He took a closer look. It was himself!
Such a weird proportion and perspective made Li Yao think of a possibility.
"Is it possible that part of my soul is in the cockpit of the warship model?
"Is what I see in front of me the control system of the warship model?
"Can this warship model really fly?"
As soon as this idea popped up in his mind, the control interface immediately glowed. Countless complicated information streams appeared.
There were still many differences between the runes of the Star Ocean Imperium and the runes of the Tian Yuan Realm.
Li Yao couldn't even understand most of the instructions, let alone how to drive the warship model!
"Swoosh!"
In his haste, the warship model flew up unhurriedly. Colorful lights and runes were flashing. A tiny spiritual shield even popped up!
In the meantime, Li Yao felt that his head had been hit hard by a hammer.
Despite the firmness of his soul, it was still not enough for him to drive the warship model.
It was needless to say that the warship model was absorbing spiritual energy from his body in a way that he couldn't understand and serving as the energy for flight.
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
The warship model was running around in the suite like a headless fly. It almost hit Li Yao several times.
"Little Black, stop it!"
Li Yao was soaked in cold sweat. He tried his best to pull his soul out of the warship model.
Thankfully, the warship model seemed to have realized that he was a newbie. After hovering for a long time, it slowed down and stopped automatically.
Li Yao's soul was finally pulled out. The brilliance on the warship model dissipated. It became an inconspicuous silver gray again.
Li Yao's face was pale. He was breathing heavily.
He was too rash after all.
If the warship model was malicious, or if its previous owner had set up some insidious secret techniques in it, perhaps Li Yao's spiritual energy would have been sucked dry by it.
After pondering for a long time, Li Yao speculated that the warship model was probably from the Star Ocean Imperium. It was a training magical equipment used to train crystal warship pilots.
The control system of the crystal warship should be identical to that of a real crystal warship.
As long as he could control the warship model skillfully. He could become a qualified pilot and control the warship to cross the universe. A starship of the Imperium that could destroy planets!
Li Yao was quite hesitant about the conclusion.
A training magical equipment was of little value to him.
Even if he learned how to drive a crystal warship of the Star Ocean Imperium, so what?
Thousands of years had passed. Where could he find a starship of the Imperium for him to drive?
But on second thought … Not necessarily.
"The control mode of the warship model is very complicated. It will be very helpful for me to train my mental power and improve my skills in manipulating the Crystal Suit and the Super Shuttle.
"On the other hand, the warship model is made of such weird materials and is extraordinarily sturdy. It can also be manipulated with telepathic thoughts. It is an excellent piece of reconnaissance magical equipment.
"Once it is accelerated to the maximum, it can even be used as a bullet!
"A bullet that is completely under my control will be of great help in a battle!"
He thought of a few wonderful uses of the warship model. Li Yao felt refreshed again. He decided that he would find a quiet, empty place after he returned to the Grand Desolate War Institution. He would practice his skills in warship piloting.
In a battle, the warship model would be his secret weapon!
"Not bad. Not bad. I got so many marrow crystals from the Cosmos Ring, triggered Little Black's mutation, and got the model of the Imperium's starship.
"This trip to the Dark Desolate Domain was a great deal!
"Although it is a warship model, I will give you a name. But I might as well give you a name since you look so ferocious. I'll call you … Neltharion! "
…
At the meeting place of Li Yao and Peng Hai … It was still Peng Hai's personal training room.
More than a year ago, Li Yao had received a month of special training in this place before he won the title of Floating Spear City's top scorer in the College Entrance Exam.
He missed this place very much!
"Senior Brother Peng!"
After more than a year, Fiend Blade Peng Hai had become more introverted. At first glance, he looked like a business elite instead of a strong Cultivator who had been fighting in the depths of the Grand Desolate Plateau all year round.
Peng Hai was Li Yao's idol in high school. He had helped Li Yao without any hesitation when Li Yao was in trouble.
Sun Biao had been their mentor on the path of Cultivation.
This was the closest relationship between senior and junior brothers.
"Good boy. You've been in the limelight for more than a year. You've even broken my record in the Grand Desolate War Institution!"
Fiend Blade Peng Hai was very happy, too.
He was going to establish his own sect. Having a strong junior brother would be of great help to him when he established his own force.
"Do you know that the name 'Vulture Li Yao' is quite famous in the world of Cultivators? When I was fighting in the depths of the Grand Desolate Plateau, many Cultivators were asking me about you. You've put a lot of pressure on me as your senior brother!"
Peng Hai said with a smile.
"A lot of luck played a role in me being able to obtain 40,000 points. First, I encountered a large-scale beast tide that broke out in the city. Then, in the Thunderbolt Cup, I made the Iron Fist Club and the Chaos Edge Hall kill each other and obtained the crucial 10,000 points!"
Li Yao was a bit embarrassed.
"Those are not important. 40,000 credits and the Thunderbolt Cup are just games in college. The seasoned experts in the world of Cultivators don't care about such things."
Peng Hai shook his head and said, "I'm afraid you don't know that what really made you famous was that you were able to walk out of the Thunderous Sound Mountain unscathed after more than ten days!
"Everybody in the world of Cultivators knows what kind of place the Thunderous Sound Mountain is. Many Building Foundation Stage Cultivators have died in there. But you, a Refinement Stage Cultivator, were able to walk out of the Thunderous Sound Mountain unscathed after more than ten days. It's definitely a miracle!
"Because of this, the name 'Vulture Li Yao' has been widely spread on the Grand Desolate Plateau!"
Li Yao thought of something. He took out a brand-new Demon Beast Detector from his backpack and said,
