The cultivation of the Acquired Dao Body is challenging, and if not for a fortunate coincidence, like Zhang Ze and Shi Xiu who have the opportunity of growing stones in their bodies, even a Mahayana cultivator would need some time to master it.

However, Mahayana is ultimately Mahayana, and solutions always outnumber difficulties.

Although it's impossible to fully transform the body into a Dao Body, from the shoulders upwards is less of an issue.

If someone were passing by in the sky at this moment, equipped with fiery eyes that see everything, they might be able to spot two eccentric figures suspended in mid-air.

These two eccentrics have bodies made of flesh below the shoulders and bodies made of stone above the shoulders.

A stone neck, extraordinarily long, is pointed straight up to the sky, disappearing beyond the heavens, like an enormous broken line of black pepper sausage.

That's how Old Sect Leader Li and Master Konghai's heads emerged.

And the reason they are up in the air and not on the ground has nothing to do with a lack of height; they simply do not wish to embarrass themselves.

Though it's still rather embarrassing now.

"Let's begin," Old Sect Leader Li said to Zhang Ze as if it was nothing.

Zhang Ze turned to look at Shi Xiu.

"Senior Brother Shi, where are those stars?"

The stars Zhang Ze referred to were the 'base stations' of the Little Walnut.

Ever since the Little Walnut was devised, cultivators researching it were troubled by one question: how it managed to transmit information via dialing.

After conducting various experiments to eliminate every possibility, the cultivators set their sights on the sky.

They discovered that once the influence of arrays and certain mystical Secret Realms was excluded, the farther away from the sky, the weaker the Little Walnut's signal became.

Ordinary substances couldn't block the Little Walnut's signal; only distance from the sky affected the strength of the signal.

This conclusion was reached by a certain Elder from Dragon Tiger Mountain after soaking in a sea trench for three days.

However, although determining the Little Walnut's signal transmission method came from the sky, they did not realize until recently due to the barrier of the heavens that the transfer source was located in outer space.

Thus, the cultivators turned their attention to the clouds beneath the heavens.

After searching through ancient texts and reviewing documents from various sects, they focused on a type of Exotic Beast.

Above the cloud sea, there exists a rare Exotic Beast resembling human form, with a deep blue back, a white lower body, connected limbs with gas membranes, moving in groups, occasionally forming massive individuals.

If lightning and thunder strike, they might be seen by people on the ground.

They are named 'Electric Float' by the Beast Taming Sect.

According to legend, in ancient times, they loved to feast on live humans, calling their prey 'friend' during meals.

Later a Great Power intervened, frightened them, and they no longer dared to land and attack humans, permanently residing in the cloud sea.

While the truth of the legend is unknown, the Beast Taming Sect speculates that the messaging methods of the Little Walnut and the Black King Order are likely related to the Electric Float.

Until recently, Zhang Ze broke through the sky barrier, and Sect Leader Lu used a telescope to observe stars, discovering new stars never seen before.

After comparing one by one, they found that several satellites not far from the Four Continents were indeed the true 'base stations' of Little Walnut.

Since then, aside from teaching the Acquired Dao Body, Zhang Ze has been researching this matter continuously.

He secretly ventured to the sky several times, carrying out some tests.

He confirmed which zones those satellites were responsible for.

And now, the task is to send Mr. Xiao some gifts through the Little Walnut's 'satellite base stations.'

Due to the time being somewhat rushed, assistance from two seniors was required.

...

For safety's sake, Shi Xiu closed his eyes, recalling the Star Map he obtained from his master, comparing it with what he had just seen.

After finally confirming the coordinates were correct, he turned to Old Sect Leader Li.

"Old Sect Leader, over to you now."

Although agreed upon long ago, he still felt slightly embarrassed at the moment.

The main reason being after a lifetime of being fierce, he had never done anything so abstract.

Clearing his throat gently, Old Sect Leader Li looked towards Master Konghai again.

"Monk, I remember you have the items."

Master Konghai, deserving of his title in the Buddhist Sect, remained unperturbed; knowing Li Wenzhou's awkwardness, he didn't point it out but responded with a hearty smile, "Yes, they're with me. Wait a moment, I'll fetch them."

...

Beneath the sky dome, where the two are located.

Stretching his neck and floating in the sky alongside Old Sect Leader Li, Monk Konghai patted Li Wenzhou's shoulder, rubbed his fingers, and signaled him to produce the items.

Old Sect Leader Li fumbled for a while, retrieving a box from his robe.

Receiving the box handed over by Old Sect Leader Li, Monk Konghai unlocked the clasp and hung it around his neck.

The box wasn't large, roughly eight meters long, four meters wide, and five meters high.

Its contents were fairly lightweight altogether, approximately three to four tons, merely consisting of minor trinkets.

After hanging the box securely around his neck, Monk Konghai released a Dharma Body, inspect it thoroughly.

Once fully confirmed to be without error, he signaled the main body with an OK gesture learned from Zhang Ze, indicating readiness for launch.

Monk Konghai brought his palms together, activating the Buddhist Sect's Golden Body, whereupon his body below the neck instantly transformed into harmonious gold.

Attached to the sides of the box are the Spiritless New Energy Propellers custom-made by Lily, sparking with electricity; amid a roar unsure whether it was an explosion or a normal start-up, they carried the colossal container along Master Konghai's neck towards the sky...

This marks the first step of Zhang Ze's plan, the Tongtian Ladder (Old Ascender version).

Though somewhat abstract, due to the urgency of the situation, this was the most secure method.

Near the sky barrier, spells failed, spiritual energy was chaotic; only relying on sheer force wasn't reliable for sending the items to outer space.

A specific object was needed for alignment.
