Jin Kangping looked around and said, "It's good that technology has advanced. Ordinary people like us can now travel to space."
Outside the large spacecraft, welders wearing space suits had tubes connected to the interior of the colossal space battleship, supplying oxygen.
Jin Kangping asked, "What if this tube breaks? Would we be in danger?"
"Hahaha, what are you thinking? Technicians have already considered this. Even if it breaks, there's no need to worry. You have an oxygen tank on your back. Of course, it only lasts for two hours. Within those two hours, someone will rescue you. Don't worry, you'll be back safe and sound."
Jin Kangping's worries subsided, and he continued his welding work.
Under the labor of tens of thousands of workers, the cultivators' formations on the exterior of the large space battleship were gradually being completed. Those on the formations themselves couldn't see the full picture; only those at a distance could.
Then, a voice came through Jin Kangping's earpiece, announcing the end of his shift.
Jin Kangping, along with his fellow workers, pressed the retraction buttons. The retrieval chains at the pipeline began to retract. Soon, Jin Kangping was back inside the large space battleship.
The interior of the large space battleship now contained ample space. Jin Kangping and his colleagues resided within the battleship, where several kitchens had also been converted.
Upon entering the safety zone, Jin Kangping headed directly towards the mess hall.
The large space battleship had activated its gravity system, allowing people to walk as if on solid ground.
After Jin Kangping left, another shift of welders gradually moved out to continue the work. The welding on this large space battleship was a twenty-four-hour operation.
As Jin Kangping ate in the mess hall, he remarked, "By the way, don't we have a lot of drones? Why aren't we using them for welding?"
His colleague replied, "We are using drones, of course. They're working on another section. The reason they have us doing this welding is so we can learn the technique. After all, if the robotic drones are damaged by alien viruses, we technicians can still do the welding."
Meanwhile, on another side of the large space battleship, a multitude of automated robotic machines were engaged in welding.
...
The Dragon Country worked overtime, welding day and night. It took seven days to finally engrave the cultivator formations onto one of the large space battleships.
The remaining large space battleships would have their cultivator formations carved at a later stage.
After the formations were carved, Su Han ascended into space and began infusing spiritual energy into the cultivator formations on the hull of the large spacecraft.
Spirit stones had been incorporated into the welding rods. These spirit stone-based formations required spiritual energy to be infused, otherwise, they would not recognize people.
Su Han poured almost all of his spiritual energy into the formation before activating it on the exterior of the large space battleship.
Once activated, Su Han gazed at the distant large space battleship.
With one spacecraft now ready, they could hold off the space army of the Four-Handed Insect race for a considerable time.
...
After completing these tasks, Su Han directly used the teleportation gate to enter the Cultivation World. He settled down to meditate and recover his spiritual energy.
The sects on Xiūqí Star in the Cultivation World had all been subdued by the Xuanmen. Consequently, the cultivation world on Xiūqí Star had been peaceful during this period.
After a few days of cultivation on Xiūqí Star, rumors began to circulate throughout the cultivation world there.
"Did you hear? The teleportation array on Xiūqí Star is about to reactivate."
"Really? But what exactly is this teleportation array?"
"I don't know," someone replied.
"..."
Soon, these rumors reached Su Han's ears.
Su Han dispatched Xuanmen disciples to investigate. They discovered that the rumors originated from a reclusive sect called the Blowing Wind Sect.
Upon hearing this, Su Han questioned, "Teleportation array? What is the Blowing Wind Sect's motive for spreading this news?"
Chu Shi explained, "This Blowing Wind Sect has always resided in a remote mountainous area. They claim that the teleportation array will reappear in a place called Teleportation Mountain. This Teleportation Mountain is located on a secluded island in the ocean, in the southern waters of the Southern Region, about a thousand kilometers from here. The rumors say the teleportation array will open in three days. As for where this teleportation array leads, it is unknown."
Su Han inquired, "Even they don't know where the teleportation array leads? Bring me the people from the Blowing Wind Sect. I will question them myself."
Lin Dong stepped forward and said, "Then I will go and bring the people from the Blowing Wind Sect here."
Following this, Lin Dong took to the sky and departed.
Meanwhile, the six Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Dragon Country were alternating shifts guarding the space outside the Tā Tǎ Jiǎo Province's planet, preventing the space army of the Four-Handed Insect race from directly attacking the Dragon Country's base below with their large space battleship's main cannons. Others were stationed elsewhere, either on leave or in other worlds.
Here in the Cultivation World, it was Lin Dong's turn.
Lin Dong navigated using the coordinates and flew in his hovercraft. After an hour, he reached the mountain gate of the Blowing Wind Sect.
Many sect leaders were already visiting the Blowing Wind Sect's mountain gate.
Lin Dong's hovercraft descended without hesitation.
The disciples guarding the mountain gate of the Blowing Wind Sect saw the unknown flying object descending and mistook it for a magical artifact. They shouted, "Bold! This is a restricted area of the Blowing Wind Sect. No flying artifacts are allowed."
After the disciples shouted, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator from the Blowing Wind Sect quickly flew out to stop them, saying, "No, no, no! This is a magical artifact of the Xuanmen. Do not speak any further."
The disciples guarding the mountain gate of the Blowing Wind Sect had no choice but to stop. The Blowing Wind Sect had always maintained a closed-door policy, and these ordinary disciples were completely unaware of the Xuanmen's standing in the cultivation world.
However, the elders of the Blowing Wind Sect knew.
The elder who had come out said, "What are you waiting for? Quickly form a welcoming line! A significant figure from the Xuanmen has arrived!"
The disciples guarding the mountain gate of the Blowing Wind Sect promptly lined up to welcome him, following the elder's instructions.
Lin Dong's hovercraft hovered and landed on the plaza of the Blowing Wind Sect.
The hovercraft doors opened, and Lin Dong emerged, looking around.
An elder from the Blowing Wind Sect said, "Welcome, esteemed person from the Xuanmen, to our Blowing Wind Sect."
Lin Dong replied, "There's no need for pleasantries. Blowing Wind Sect, those who know about the teleportation array, come with me to the Xuanmen. The Xuanmen's sect master wishes to question you!"
