Chapter 468: Chapter 1: The Immortal Celestial Ship, Tower of Ten Thousand Demons—Hurry to the Purple Mansion and Invite Alliance Leader Zhou Chen

The Celestial Ship is me, and I am the Celestial Ship.

It’s similar to a martial artist attaining the state of unity between man and sword.

Everything within the Celestial Ship is as clear as observing the lines on one’s palm. Inside and out, Zhou Chen can clearly feel it, as if it’s an extension of his own body.

"The Celestial Ship is ready, prepared for ascension. Is ascension desired?"

The clear and lively voice of the Red Dust rings solemnly in Zhou Chen’s heart.

"Ascend!"

As Zhou Chen’s voice falls, the entire Celestial Ship bursts forth with boundless light in an instant, undergoing dramatic changes.

Like a mortal attaining enlightenment, becoming an Immortal, becoming a god.

The originally colossal Flying Ship rapidly grows.

Twenty thousand feet.

Thirty thousand feet.

Fifty thousand feet.

....

The Celestial Ship’s size can vary, just like a cultivator wielding divine techniques, expanding the body to ten thousand, a hundred thousand feet.

Previously, the Celestial Ship could expand to a million feet without issue. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

But now, as the Flying Ship’s size quickly increases from ten thousand feet, it differs from the previous enlargement, resembling a child’s natural growth into adulthood.

Rather than a child using divine techniques to become taller and larger.

Zhou Chen can clearly perceive the growth of the Celestial Ship, especially the earth-shaking transformation within.

The Celestial Ship was crafted from various Immortal Gold, but now the Immortal Gold is undergoing a qualitative transformation into a new substance, possessing infinite potential for growth.

This is the power of the World Tree.

The Celestial Ship is centered around the World Tree seed. Although it appears as a Celestial Ship, it can also be considered a special World Tree.

At present, it’s as if the World Tree is sprouting from a seedling into a young tree.

Now, the materials of the Celestial Ship, as the World Tree merges and transforms with various Immortal Gold materials, become a brand new matter with infinite potential.

The previously absorbed and assimilated Demon Emperor, Emperor’s Weapon, and Divine Artifacts are more thoroughly digested and absorbed by the Celestial Ship, turning completely into nutrients, making every inch of the Celestial Ship more tenacious and powerful.

Mysterious and profound runes flicker across the Celestial Ship, resembling the textures of the World Tree, ancient and timeless, naturally imbued with the essence of the Dao.

The aura emitted by the Red Dust Celestial Ship grows more intense and terrifying.

At this moment.

The Celestial Ship has expanded to a million feet, spanning across the stars like a colossal entity, obscuring the heavens and the sun, radiating an immortal aura.

This is a fundamental transformation.

Zhou Chen and the Celestial Ship share a blood connection, experiencing the metamorphosis of the Celestial Ship, with his own cultivation skyrocketing.

Upon reaching the Dharma and Void Refining stages, more emphasis is placed on comprehending the laws and Dao of the cosmic heavens and earth.

For instance, for a Dharma ascension to King, one must grasp a Secret Technique.

For a King to ascend to Emperor, the Secret Technique must be perfected, comprehending a higher level of law.

For an Emperor to ascend to Great Emperor, the laws must transform, and the Dao must be grasped.

At this moment.

With the ascension of the Celestial Ship, it as if all cosmic Daos are laid bare before him, allowing for contemplation and harvest.

Each unit world within the Celestial Ship also undergoes a profound, earth-shaking transformation, ascending from what was a minute world to a Small Thousand World.

As the unit world upgrades, the Opening-Heaven Divine Weapon, integrated with the Celestial Ship, naturally elevates and transforms correspondingly.

This is akin to an Opening-Heaven Divine Weapon of a minute world transforming into an Opening-Heaven Divine Weapon of a Small Thousand World, their power as different as heaven and earth.

Myriad Manifestations Divine Weapon, Celestial Fury Sword, Ruyi Demon God Staff, Yin Yang Mirror, Nine Dragon Hell Shield, Heaven-Cracking Horn, Celestial Secret Umbrella, Heaven-Locking Soul-Seeking Hook, Five Emperors Five-Colored Umbrella, Chaos Primordial Qi Cannon...

One by one, the Opening-Heaven Divine Weapons transform from initial Emperor’s Weapon level Opening-Heaven Divine Weapons to Divine Artifact level Opening-Heaven Divine Weapons.

Such as the Ruyi Demon God Staff, Yin Yang Mirror, etc., which were already Divine Artifacts, now transform to top-grade Divine Artifact level Opening-Heaven Divine Weapons.

During the upgrade, the fourteen Emperor’s Weapons that hadn’t yet integrated, including the Undying Battle Banner, Yin Yang Banner, Nether God’s Spear, Flaming War Chariot, Red Dragon Fist Glove, Demon-Subduing Pestle, Celestial Demon Breaking Array Drum, Mountain and River Bell, Demon Suppression Tower, Demon Spirit Pearl, Ten Thousand Demons Armor, Demon Wings, Spear of Judgment, Saw of Death, all fuse into the Celestial Ship, creating fourteen additional unit worlds.

Thus far.

The Celestial Ship achieves fifty unit worlds.

The Life Thunder Pool, as the power source of the Celestial Ship, expands enormously, with runes flickering, suffused with an immortal aura.

Especially the transformation of the Life Furnace within is even more tremendous.

The growth of a towering tree depends critically on its roots.

Only with extensive root systems can it absorb more energy, drawing more nutrients to transform the sapling into a mighty tree.

Each leaf of the World Tree represents a world.

Its root system is so powerful and terrifying that it’s beyond description by any words.

The Life Furnace is the integration of the World Tree’s root system with the Celestial Ship, and upon the ascension to an immortal-grade Celestial Ship, it’s akin to the World Tree growing from a seedling into a young tree.

Even if an Immortal were to be thrown into the Life Furnace, it could instantly be devoured and turned into nutrients for the Celestial Ship.

Under this tremendous aura, a massive ochre star below silently disintegrates into dust, and even surrounding stars faintly perish.

This is merely a wisp of aura inadvertently emitted during the Celestial Ship’s ascension.

The Life Furnace also voraciously devours the energy from the void of chaos, replenishing the transformed Life Thunder Pool for storage.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chen stands on the deck of the Celestial Ship, completely immersed in enlightenment.

As each unit world of the Celestial Ship ascends and transforms, he clearly perceives it, with countless insights flooding his mind like waves.

His cultivation swiftly advances.

Late-Stage Dharma.

Perfect Dharma.

Late-Stage Void Refining.

Refining Void Perfection.

Next comes the comprehension of Secret Techniques, ascending to King and Integration Realm.
