The original plan of Team Blue Bronze to explore Boneyard was that they would stay there for at least a month. Should anything go wrong, it could take three to five months.
Of course, they had carried a lot of crystals in their Cosmos Rings.
However, the crystals were still not enough to power a starship.
It was needless to mention the drill of mystic rays, the cannons of the starship, and the space jump system.
Li Yao thought hard. Suddenly, he thought of something and waved his fist hard.
Right. There were still the Flowing Brightness Crystals that he had just collected in his Cosmos Ring!
Such Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were condensed into marrow crystals after billions of years of refinement under high temperature and pressure below the ground. Then, they were entangled by the roots of the Flowing Brightness Grasses. After a mysterious reaction, the super marrow crystal was born. It contained immense spiritual energy!
Even in the notes of the seniors of the Hundred Smelting Clan forty thousand years ago, the Flowing Brightness Crystals were valued and regarded as the ultimate treasure!
"Sparkle is a multipurpose exploration starship. Its crystal reactor must be highly adaptable and able to absorb all kinds of crystals as its energy source. Besides, the Flowing Brightness Crystal itself is extremely pure and stable. Even a human body can absorb it directly, not to mention a crystal reactor!
"Let's use the Flowing Brightness Crystals as the source of spiritual energy!"
Flowing Brightness Crystals were priceless treasures, and any one of them could be sold at a high price in the Tian Yuan Realm.
However, in order to escape and kill Skeleton Dragon, Li Yao had made up his mind that he would not hesitate to consume all the Flowing Brightness Crystals in this place!
Li Yao sneered. "Hehe. Skeleton Dragon has been caught in a trap of its own making!"
According to his speculation, the abundant Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the first underground world that they saw must have been because Skeleton Dragon had released part of its strength to manipulate the creatures below the ground in a certain way. It must have been because of the modification of the underground environment.
The purpose was simple. It was to lure the explorers who went deep into the underground world.
The explorers would think that. Even a tiny underground world at the periphery of the planet contained so many treasures. Then, there must be even more Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in Skeleton Dragon's residence in the depths of the boundless underground ocean!
In this way, even if they found any clues, it would be thrown to the back of the mind by the greedy explorers, who would only focus on opening the cave abode.
However, now that Li Yao had received Gao Xingce's warning, he could use these Flowing Brightness Crystals. Wang Ji and the other minor demons and Skeleton Dragon, the most ferocious demon in the world, were all killed!
Li Yao's telepathic thoughts flowed to the engine compartment at the rear of Sparkle and into the main crystal reactor.
The crystal reactor used in the starship was much larger than the one on the Crystal Suit, and its structure was dozens of times more complicated, too. Li Yao's telepathic thoughts rushed here and there inside the delicately crafted crystal reactor, slowly figuring out its structure.
As expected. Although the crystal reactor was not very efficient, it could absorb a wide range of spiritual energy. Inside the reactor, there were four units. Even the raw minerals that contained more than seventy percent impurities could be put into the reactor and purified automatically, not to mention the high-purity marrow crystals such as the Flowing Brightness Crystals.
The crystal reactor was the heart of a starship. It was also the most well-protected place. It had suffered the least damage in the fierce battle and was the first magical equipment to be repaired by the mustard-level maintainers.
After thousands of years of maintenance, it was as good as new. 85% of it had been repaired and could function normally.
"Excellent. As long as I put in a few Flowing Brightness Crystals, I will get enough spiritual energy. I can wake up Sparkle and increase the maintenance speed of the mustard-level maintainers by hundreds of times.
"Besides, it has a lot of simple structures. Even I can perform maintenance on it. In a few days, Sparkle will be able to resume its sailing ability! "
Li Yao thought to himself. He scanned the weapon system of Sparkle with his telepathic thoughts.
The main gun on Sparkle had been modified into a drill of mystic rays. All the secondary guns and anti-air cannons had been seriously damaged in the fierce battle thousands of years ago. After so many years of maintenance, only one anti-air cannon was close to completion.
Li Yao was amused when he scanned the 3D structure of the anti-air cannon. He couldn't help but chuckle.
The anti-air cannon named 'Blazing Meteor' adopted eight cylindrical crystal rails around a central axis. At first glance, it looked like a Six-barreled Vulcan Machine Gun that had been enlarged dozens of times. The firing structure and the operation techniques were very similar, too.
"This is a weapon that was prepared for me by fate!"
Li Yao's blood was boiling. It turned into scorching steam and was almost spurting out of his nostrils.
His hands were shivering. He couldn't wait to manipulate the 'Blazing Meteor' in person!
For him, the anti-air cannon was a better weapon than the main gun of a warship.
The main gun of a warship was mainly used to deal with the enemy's warships, space fortresses, and orbit defense rings. It was slow to reload, consumed a lot of spiritual energy, and had a high requirement on the user's level, too.
Gao Xingce was a Jin Dan expert. Therefore, he was qualified to use the 'Star Piercing Dragon', the main gun of Sparkle.
The anti-air cannon, on the other hand, was designed to deal with the enemy experts who were close to it. It had a high firing speed, high precision, and relatively easy to manipulate. A Building Foundation Stage Cultivator was more than capable of using it.
What Li Yao was going to deal with were the demons such as Wang Ji. The anti-air cannon was more suitable than the main gun.
"The Blazing Meteor consumes a lot of spiritual energy, too. Let me modify it deeply so that it can directly use the Flowing Brightness Crystals as the source of spiritual energy. I guarantee that the biochemical beasts and the demons inside will all be blown into smithereens after a single shot!"
Other than the Blazing Meteor, there were no other usable weapons on Sparkle. Even most of the single magical equipment had been dismantled and turned into maintenance materials.
In a corner of the arsenal, Li Yao detected a well-maintained metal component that had been sealed by barriers.
"This is …"
"An Ares Extension, a complete set of strengthening components!"
Li Yao couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
The sea of stars was unpredictable. Many Sectors had different environments. One Crystal Suit couldn't be adapted to all the battlefields.
Therefore, it was perfectly normal that a Crystal Suit was installed with a lot of strengthening components before it was sent to a battlefield.
Before Team Blue Bronze dived into the silver ocean, Li Yao had installed underwater combat components that looked like fins on all the Crystal Suit.
Some of the strengthening components were a complete set. They had been carved with powerful rune arrays that would consume a lot of spiritual energy and cause a huge impact on the materials and the human body.
The usage of such rune arrays. Although they could improve the combat ability of the Crystal Suit instantly, they would cause severe wear and tear on the materials. They would also unleash a huge 'recoil'. Since they would directly impact the body and soul of the Exo, they were not suitable to be carved on the Crystal Suit.
The strengthening components that were a complete set. It was like covering the Crystal Suit with a shell of strengthening. Since there was no need to worry about the wear and tear, all kinds of crazy rune arrays could be carved on the Crystal Suit.
Such a complete set of strengthening components was known as the Ares Extension!
The Ares Extension was a piece of top secret magical equipment of the Star Ocean Imperium. Since it would be scrapped after one use, the real objects had never been found in the Tian Yuan Realm. Only some scraps had been excavated.
Li Yao had only read the files before.
The legendary Ares Extension was right in front of him. Li Yao's eyes were shining with excitement.
"The Rogue Meteorite, together with the Ares Extension, is definitely enough to fight a bloody battle against the scumbags of the demon race such as Wang Ji!"
Li Yao scanned Sparkle from head to tail. He rose up abruptly and rushed to the engine compartment at the rear of the ship.
Inside the engine compartment, Li Yao retrieved ten Flowing Brightness Grasses from his Cosmos Ring. His hands turned into a cluster of grey mist and sorted out the thousands of roots that were entangling the Flowing Brightness Crystal. He peeled off the Flowing Brightness Crystal carefully.
The roots were essentially the 'veins' of the Flowing Brightness Crystal. He must not break them by force, or the quality of the Flowing Brightness Crystal would be lowered.
Ten minutes later, round crystals that looked like pearls rolled around his palm. Dense streams of energy rippled around his body, making him feel relaxed and happy. Two streams of information seemed to be flowing into his palm. They were flowing slowly inside his body.
A moment later … Li Yao was surrounded by a small ocean of clouds. Dazzling brilliance was vaguely flowing deep inside the ocean of clouds.
"No wonder they are called Flowing Brightness Crystals. The brilliance they release is flowing like liquid. The Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the world of Cultivators are truly incredible!
"Sigh. I believe that there must be more bizarre and marvelous Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures at the center of the sea of stars, where the stars are shining brightly. It's just that I don't have a chance to go there this time.
"If I can excavate a detailed star map in the future, I'll definitely explore the depths of the sea of stars!"
Thinking to himself, Li Yao threw the Flowing Brightness Crystals into the crystal reactor one after another. Then, he controlled the mainframe crystal processor remotely with his telepathic thoughts and set up the operation mode of the crystal reactor.
With a telepathic thought, his spiritual energy surged out. The crystal reactor was activated!
"Hum!"
With the crystal reactor as the center, circles of scarlet light spread out like ripples. In the blink of an eye, the ripples escalated into surging tides, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into an unstoppable, unstoppable ocean!
Countless runes were lit up one after another. Golden, octagonal, virtual runes jumped into the air one after another and danced around Li Yao, uttering crisp and pleasant noises that sounded like metal colliding.
Like a ferocious beast that had been starved for thousands of years, the crystal reactor was operating at the highest speed. It swallowed the Flowing Brightness Crystals and transformed them into the purest spiritual energy through countless rune arrays. The spiritual energy was transmitted to every corner of Sparkle through the tubes of spiritual energy.
Countless pieces of magical equipment were woken up instantly. Humming noises were echoing nonstop.
From the outside, thousands of gold lines suddenly appeared on the smooth shell of Sparkle, which interweaved and extended until they soon covered the entire body of the warship.
Then, the shell broke into countless pieces and slightly rose up like the scales of a dragon. Other than the elegance of the warship, there was also a hint of brutality!
The information flowing into Li Yao's brain was ten times more abundant than before. Although he had been training on Neltharion, he still couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
Deep inside his brain, the lackluster 3D map of Sparkle suddenly jumped and glittered from the back to the front. In the end, it turned into a dazzling scene.
Sparkle had been completely woken up! — —
