Mo Xuan and the other four spectral Cultivators were silent for a long time. The liquid metal was boiling and bubbling, indicating that they were in the middle of high-intensity thinking and calculation.
Ten minutes later, Professor Mo Xuan finally opened his mouth.
"No matter where we are, the most important thing right now is to repair Sparkle so that it can perform one or two space jumps.
"This is a desolate, barren wasteland. There is no hope for us if we stay here."
Li Yao nodded. Then he asked worriedly, "How is Sparkle doing?"
"Very bad."
Professor Mo Xuan said, "According to what you said, Sparkle was heavily damaged seven thousand years ago and has been in the undersea rock ever since. Although it has been slowly repairing itself, the mustard-level maintainers can only repair the simple components and units at best. As for the core magical equipment such as the mainframe crystal processor, it is impossible to repair them without the help of a refiner.
"Just like that, after thousands of years, it was finally repaired to the point where it could be used again. Then, it was used by you to fight Skeleton Dragon and even perform a crazy space jump. It is safe to say that ninety-nine percent of the units were on the verge of collapse.
"After that, it suffered a cosmic storm and a meteor shower. Even its shell was riddled with holes.
"If we hadn't woken up in time, I'm afraid that Sparkle would've fallen apart and become dust in the sea of stars.
"Although we tried our best to repair it, we could only make sure that its structure was intact. Right now, Sparkle has lost most of its power and abilities. It is no better than an empty shell!
"Therefore, no matter what our next step is, we have to repair Sparkle first.
"The expertise of Sparkle is beyond what we can imagine. It far exceeds the knowledge of the Tian Yuan world. With just us alone, it is impossible for it to recover 100% of its combat strength. "
"Thankfully, we are from the Tian Yuan Realm. With our abundant experience in the production of crystal warships, we can modify Sparkle in a relatively low-level way. It shouldn't be a problem for Sparkle to recover 30% of its combat ability. It should be enough to perform one or two space jumps and jump out of this wasteland.
"The biggest problem right now is materials and spiritual energy. You can't cook without rice. Without enough Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and spiritual energy, the repair work cannot be carried out."
This was indeed a big problem. Li Yao fell into deep thought.
The so-called abandoned world would not have too many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and spiritual energy for them to use.
Even if there were, they would be hidden on planets or stone belts that were close to stars.
With Sparkle's current status, it was impossible for it to fly close to the star. If it did, its spiritual shield would not be strong enough and it would be swallowed by the stellar storm instantly.
Li Yao's mind raced. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"Wait a moment. Why don't we have Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and spiritual energy? The pieces of Skeleton Dragon's body. Wouldn't they be scattered nearby? Even if a part of it is swept away by the nebula storm and the meteor shower, there will still be a large amount that can be used!
"The strengthened external skeleton of Skeleton Dragon is made of the bones of the strongest demon beasts from forty thousand years ago. It's extremely powerful! "
"There are so many pieces of ancient magical equipment inside its body. Although most of them have been blown into pieces by the drill of mystic rays and can't perform their best techniques, they will still be perfect for filling the holes and cracks of Sparkle!
"Its transparent flesh, which is extremely tensile, can be stretched from more than ten meters to almost a hundred meters in the blink of an eye, and it is as soft as jelly. It can cushion the enemy's attack. It is a rare material. If we can decipher its mysteries and apply it to the key structure of Sparkle... Its defense and agility will be greatly improved!
"After its demon soul perished, a lot of demonic energy was left. It will be very suitable for training or refining into spiritual energy that Sparkle can make use of!
"All in all, Skeleton Dragon has left us an enormous treasury. With its remains, we will definitely be able to repair Sparkle and restore the ability of space jump!"
Li Yao's words excited Mo Xuan and the other four. The metal membrane was shivering nonstop.
"Yes. Refining magical equipment with the flesh and bones of demon beasts is a common method in the art of refining. We all have abundant experience. The odds of repairing Sparkle are very high!
"As long as Sparkle is repaired, we will have the ability of space jump. After we jump to a new world, as long as it is not too desolate, we will always be able to collect new materials and spiritual energy.
"If we keep jumping, we will run into other civilizations and other Cultivators in the sea of stars sooner or later!
"A new world of Cultivators …"
Li Yao was fascinated. His heart was filled with pride as he mumbled, "Yes. The Tian Yuan Realm is at the edge of the sea of stars. We have jumped to this place randomly. The odds of us being teleported back are almost zero.
"Now that we can't find our way home for the time being, we might as well march forward!
"To the infinite stars, to the center of the sea of stars, to the new world of Cultivators!
"The Sectors at the center of the sea of stars may boast techniques, magical equipment, and secret arts that are more advanced than those of the Tian Yuan Realm. Learn from them, train yourself crazily, and grow stronger!
"I am too weak right now. The middle level of the Building Foundation Stage is not worth mentioning in front of the real experts! Faced with such a strong enemy as Skeleton Dragon, as long as it recovers 5% of its strength, it will be able to kill me easily!
"Even the previous captain of Sparkle was a Yuanying monster. That was why he was able to bring out 100% of the combat ability of Sparkle!
"As the acting captain, I am only in the middle level of the Building Foundation Stage. I can only bring out less than 10% of the combat ability of Sparkle. I am such a disgrace to Senior Gao Xingce.
"It's decided. I will travel in the sea of stars in the next few years. I will at least improve myself to the Core Formation Stage and become a 'Jin Dan expert'. I will find one or two pieces of stellar magical equipment, or at least planetary magical equipment, before I return to the Tian Yuan Realm!"
According to the analysis of the astronomy experts of the Xing Yao Federation, the complete integration of the Tian Yuan Realm and the Blood Demon Sector would take place in twenty to thirty years.
Until then, neither of the two Sectors had the absolute capability to swallow the other.
Therefore, Li Yao set a ten-year deadline for himself.
He would try his best to strengthen himself in the next ten years. He would excavate the most powerful magical equipment and return to the Tian Yuan Realm!
Mo Xuan and the other spectral Cultivators agreed readily.
Professor Mo Xuan burst into laughter.
"The Cultivators of the Heaven's Origin Sector are eager to reach out to the Cultivators at the center of the sea of stars. But unfortunately, our starships are not good enough. We haven't even explored the many planets in the Tian Yuan Realm yet.
"Now that we've stumbled upon them by accident. Now that we've jumped out of the Tian Yuan Realm, we have to travel, train, and learn more. We can't return empty-handed. We have to bring a lot of magical equipment and Cultivation arts back! "
Xiong Qili was a war maniac. He clamored, "In my opinion, we should expand our influence in the sea of stars and bring a whole fleet back!"
For a moment, everyone was amused.
Professor Mo Xuan continued.
"Influence is not necessarily the case, but this Sparkle is a multipurpose starship. There are many cabins on the starship, which are laboratories, refining workshops, and analysis rooms for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. In my opinion, we can establish a 'Star Ocean Branch of the Refining Department of the Grand Desolate War Institution' on the starship!
"Mr. Li Yao, wasn't your original dream to knock down the Refining Department of Deep Sea University and take over the title of 'Holy Land of Refiners'?
"That was my dream, too. It was the dream of all the teachers and students of the Refining Department of the Grand Desolate War Institution. A dream that we would never give up!
"However, let's be honest here. In the Xing Yao Federation, it was extremely difficult to realize such a dream!
"But things are different now!
"Right now, we have a multi-purpose exploration starship from the Star Ocean Imperium with a super space jump ability. We have a chance to get in touch with hundreds of Sectors, more civilizations of mankind, more worlds of Cultivators, and more magical equipment, Cultivation arts, and refining arts!
"Let's explore, study, and learn the best treasures in the universe with Sparkle as our base. We can even use the name of the Refining Department of the Grand Desolate War Institution. We can recruit the most promising talents in refining from different Sectors!
"As a result. Twenty years later, when we return to the Tian Yuan Realm, our Refining Department will be much stronger than before. Our refining strength is definitely a hundred times better than Deep Sea University's. We have become a well-deserved Holy Land for refiners! "
Li Yao's blood was boiling.
Knocking down the Refining Department of Deep Sea University had been his dream since before the College Entrance Exam.
However, as he walked further and further on the path of refining, he became more and more aware of the dreadfulness of the Refining Department of Deep Sea University.
It was true that the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit had surpassed the Tiger King Battlesuit and became the most famous MP Crystal Suit in the Federation.
However, the MP Crystal Suit Project was only one of the dozens of projects of the same level in the Refining Department of Deep Sea University.
The giant 'Deep Sea' was too huge, too strong, and too old. The failure of a MP Crystal Suit Project was nothing more than the loss of one of its hairs.
Therefore, Li Yao hadn't thought of the dream for a long time. He hadn't forgotten it, but he didn't know how to work hard.
But right now, Professor Mo Xuan's words had completely excited him.
Li Yao's eyes were shining. He clenched his fists, as if he could see the brilliant future twenty years later!
Professor Mo Xuan's voice was hoarse, but it was getting louder and louder.
"Aren't you still thinking of finding a Stellar-level Dharma treasure to take back?
"In my opinion, the Star Ocean Imperium has been collapsing for thousands of years. To find an intact piece of stellar magical equipment without an owner is more difficult than to climb to the sky.
"But aren't we all Weapon Refiners?"
"Why don't you craft a piece of stellar magical equipment with Sparkle as the core?"
Mo Xuan's boldness made Li Yao's eyes and nostrils almost spurt fire.
He finally understood why Professor Mo Xuan was known as a 'lunatic' in the circle of refiners!
It was because he was indeed a lunatic, even crazier than Li Yao!
Building a piece of stellar magical equipment that could suppress an entire galaxy with his own hands by assembling components one by one and carving runes one by one?
Li Yao's blood was boiling, and his passion was bursting out. He waved his hands and feet in joy despite the excruciating pain all over his body.
"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up. Let's discuss the overall modification plan of Sparkle right now! "(To be continued)
