Chapter 115: Treasure - 115
"Let's follow the map and collect the space stones." Anna said.
One of the papers she had picked up had been a treasure map that showed where the treasure was and what it contained.
As they walked towards the location of the treasure, Anna couldn't stop herself from thinking more and more.
'Why is there a treasure map from outer space that leads to a place on OUR planet? It's completely illogical. It's as if someone is handing them to us.' Anna couldn't shake the feeling that everything that had happened was the doing of someone else.
Anna continued to think to herself until the group of void traversing cultivators reached the mountain the treasure was under.
"Anna....Anna.....ANNA!" The dragon king screamed, putting his hand on her shoulder with the last call.
Anna flinched out of her stupor and realized that they had reached the place the treasure map marked.
"Sorry. Lets search around the mountain. If we don't find anything, we will dig below it." She said, stopping herself from thinking any further and helping the group search for the treasure.
Thanks to their divine sense, the search was finished in minutes. Although the mountain could only be described as average compared to the rest of the Zhou Worlds mountains, it was thousands, if not tens of thousands times bigger than the biggest mountain on earth.
That was the only reason the search took so long.
After they had confirmed that the treasure wasn't on the mountain, Anna signaled the titanosaur to dig below it.
Although he wasn't the strongest and likely not the fastest at digging, earth was his specialty. The titanosaur transformed back into his original form and dug down a hundred miles before they reached an open space.
The titanosaur transformed back into humanoid form and entered the area first, followed by Anna, the dragon king, the monkey king, and the rest of the void traversing cultivators.
What they had dug into was a fairly big cave with fully gray walls. Not a single thing other than stone could be seen. There was only one tunnel in front of them and a wall behind them, so the group traveled down the tunnel.
After walking for a mile, the group started to see a darkish blue light. Although the titanosaur and the monkey king were unable to determine what the light was from, Anna and the Dragon king had much experience with the Qi it was giving off.
Without a doubt, the light was coming from something with space Qi. The only explanation was that the treasure was ahead since the papers had said the treasure was space stones.
After another half mile and some twists and turns, the group entered a room full of crystals stuck in the walls. The crystals were space blue and not a single person would have doubt that they were space stones.
The non-ruler void traversing cultivators stayed right outside the room as the others entered. Anna was the first one to make contact as she walked up to one of the walls and pulled a space stone out.
She sighed in admiration at the pure space Qi inside them. As someone with a space affinity, only she could fully appreciate them. Anna was tempted to try and absorb one as if it was a spirit stone, but she felt her instincts blaring just as she was about to try.
She hastily dropped the stone and stepped back. From that point on, she didn't attempt to absorb space stones.
Although the other rulers were startled at her dropping the stone and backing up, Anna waved her hand and said she was fine but had done something stupid.
"Don't try to absorb the space stones. You will probably die." She said as a warning.
After her warning, the rulers carefully examined the entire cave in order to make sure there were no traps or dangers before they called in the rest of the void traversing cultivators and carefully harvested the space stones.
Due to the fact that there were 2400 stones and each one was removed carefully, the process took 5 hours. With the pile carefully laid out on the ground, Anna went up to each of the stones and held them before transporting them into her ring.
By the time she managed to collect all of them, the spatial ring was filled to the brim. With all the space stones safely put away, the group walked back up to the surface and flew to the celestial lands.
Although the space stones had been collected, the forging method had not been tested. Anna sent away the non-ruler void traversing cultivators from the other lands at the border and entered the celestial lands.
Getting to central city didn't take too long with their flying speeds and the rulers landed at the doors of annas tower. They had come to her tower in order to use the forging space on the middle floor.
As for who was going to forge the ring, there was no doubt it would be anna. Besides her identity as the ruler of the celestial lands and one of the two strongest people in the world, Anna was also known as the greatest blacksmith in the world. If she could not successfully forge a ring, then nobody would be able to.
The rulers arrived at the middle floor unimpeded and went into the forge room. The room was extremely large and contained a single anvil, hammer, fire pit, and bucket of water.
The bucket of water was special water made from annas own power and Anna would borrow the flames of the dragon king for forging.
Although she could make her own flames, since not having an affinity didn't mean one couldn't use an element, the dragon king's flames were special and much more powerful.
"Light it up." Anna said as she picked up her hammer. Both the hammer and the anvil were made from the strongest materials Anna could find. They had reached grade 6, or void traversing.
Chapter 116: Forging Success - 116
The dragon king pointed his finger at the fire pit and red and purple flames appeared. Its heat was immense and it seemed as if it wanted to spread around the entire room.
The only reason it wasn't lighting everything in the room on fire was because the dragon king was controlling it.
Once the flame was lit, Anna started to follow the instructions on the paper. First, she got some ore at the 5th level. The paper had said that any ore at the 5th level or higher would work, but since it was a test run anna didn't go all out in terms of materials.
Anna made the ore float and put it in the center of the fire. The fire did its job very quickly as the ore heated up within seconds. Once it was flexible, anna took the ore out of the fire, replacing it with a space stone.
The space stone didn't show any sign of heating up even after half a minute, but Anna knew it would since the papers said so. While the space stone was getting heated up, Anna started to work on the ore.
She put it on the anvil and started to shape it with her hammer. After a minute, the shape of the ring was perfect, and all that was missing was a stone.
As Anna looked back at the fire, she noticed that the space stone had begun shrinking. It was exactly as the paper said. Anna waited 5 minutes before the space stone had shrunk enough to be dealt with.
Anna used Qi to make the shrunk space stone come towards her. She placed her hands around it without them touching it and began to use her power to condense it and make it stronger. After exhausting a fourth of her Qi, Anna had made the stone small enough to fit on the ring.
Anna used Qi to place it on the ring and the forging process was finished. Next was the formation laying process.
Although there was more competition in the art of formations, Anna was also the greatest at it. She began to follow the steps to lay the formations that would make the ring useful.
After an hour of careful work, Anna managed to finish the last formation. If she had done everything right, then the ring should work like the one in the asteroid.
Anna put the ring on her other hand and supplied Qi into it. As she did, the formations lit up and the ring was activated.
A tenth of Anna's mind was transported to the ring and she saw inside it. Success! The ring worked! Anna was excited when she saw the inside of the ring and realized she had forged it perfectly. Although it would take a while to use up every single space stone, it would be worth it in the end.
She estimated that she could make five a day which would make the total forge time 48 days long. Although it may seem like much, that much time was nothing to someone of her level.
Zhou Fan watched on as Anna and the rulers forged every space stone into a spatial ring and split them up evenly. They would likely keep a bunch for themselves and then distribute the rest to their subjects with high contributions.
With everything he wanted to do done, Zhou Fan went back to his floating palace and spent the rest of the ten year time period lazily living. He spent much of his time staring up at the ceiling while thinking of martial arts. He also spent ample time thinking of the arts such as blacksmithing, forging, and formation creation.
Once ten years passed and the world finished expanding, Zhou Fan went into seclusion. After he broke through, he planned to try and make the solar system a part of his mortal Dao.
----------------------
12,000 years passed and Zhou fan woke up from his seclusion. He had broken through to the 5th level of lesser dao creation and was feeling immensely powerful.
Zhou Fan missed the times when he could go out and test his new strength, but doing so now could bring disastrous results.
Whether it was a star or a planet, Zhou Fan could accidentally destroy it with ease at this point.
The only reason the supernova was able to push against him was because it was using its lifes entire power. It had likely been a star for millions of years and when it went supernova, it was using the power it had stored up its entire life.
Although a star could at best be compared to a space shattering expert, using up its lifespan would give it temporary strength similar to that of a lesser dao creation realm cultivator.
Now that Zhou fan had broken through to the 5th level of lesser dao creation, he could try to do something he had planned to do 22,000 years ago. He could try and put the entire solar system under the control of his mortal Dao.
The solar system Zhou Fan was in was by far the biggest he had ever seen. It contained fourteen stars, although it used to have fifteen, and a hundred planets.
If Zhou Fan could connect his mortal dao to the entire solar system, the benefits would be great, although not life changing. Either way, it would be better to have more planets under his complete control.
Zhou Fan teleported to space and first set his sights on the planets closest to the Zhou World. The closest was a small brown planet. Even before Zhou Fan had come to the solar system, it was small compared to the Zhou World.
With the Zhou Worlds expansion, it was now completely dwarfed. Luckily, it hadn't been destroyed due to Zhou Fan interference. As the Zhou World had been expanding, he had been pushing everything back so that the solar system wouldn't collapse.
The planet was still fairly close to the Zhou World and even Anna and the Dragon king had visited it once before leaving after seeing there was nothing there.
