Chapter 1937: Chapter 1882—Chapter 1883 Wan Fayi’s Shock: 7th Generation Battleship?_2
However, if the sixth-generation warships are directly sold as finished products, they become immediate combat force. Once the Heterodox Alliance gets hold of them and makes slight adjustments, they can use them against the Buddhism School and the Heavenly Court, causing significant damage.
The Shenxiao Sect is not afraid of either party, but the Xuantian Sect must consider it.
Moreover, there is another crucial issue: as these two sides go to war, it’s evident that the various forces of the Divine Continent are restless, with hidden currents surging. A single misstep could trigger an even more intense battle.
For the Xuantian Sect, they also have many opponents. Countless people have long coveted them. Selling finished sixth-generation warships at this time would weaken their own combat power. If a war breaks out, they would make a big joke of themselves if their strength is insufficient.
“But given the perilous situation, why do we still want to sell finished sixth-generation ships? In my opinion, our current warships are insufficient,” Wan Fayi asked in confusion.
Having just proven himself as a True Immortal, although his identity as the sect leader’s successor has not yet been announced, with the increasing authority he controls, his succession is almost certain. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be involved in the discussion about selling sixth-generation warships this time.
Although following the instructions of the Sect Leader and Ancestral Master Yu Zhenzi to do this, he also has doubts in his heart, especially after learning about the number of warships the Shenxiao Sect possesses.
Ignoring other warships, just considering these sixth-generation warships, the Shenxiao Sect currently controls five, and together with the three owned by the Taoist Academy, there are only eight sixth-generation warships in total.
This number is not small compared to other top immortal sects, but compared to the many worlds under the control of the Shenxiao Sect and the Taoist Academy, the number is insufficient.
Even though they have some interaction with the Heterodox Alliance, the two sides are not allies in essence. Why sell finished sixth-generation warships to the other side, even if they’re willing to pay a hefty price?
After all, the Shenxiao Sect is not lacking in resource accumulation, whereas how to quickly convert resource accumulation into combat power is most important for many immortal sects.
“Out with the old, in with the new?” Pang Hong smiled silently, while Yu Zhenzi said serenely.
Hearing Ancestral Master Yu Zhenzi say this, Wan Fayi seemed to realize something, opened his mouth, and tried to ask, “Are you saying we are going to forge new sixth-generation warships?”
Although these warships are called the first generation, second generation, up to the sixth generation, it doesn’t mean there are simply six different types. Instead, they are divided into six levels.
The replacement of each generation of warships is not just about a stronger warship equating to a new generation, but rather a comprehensive surpassing. Partial updates or enhancements also belong to the original generation.
This means that even within the same generation, there can be significant differences, but these differences are not large enough for a complete wipeout, some deficiencies still exist.
For instance, the sixth-generation warships were good when first launched, but after several hundred to a thousand years of advancement, improvements in some areas have created a significant power gap, even though it’s not sufficient to be called the seventh generation.
Some of the Shenxiao Sect’s sixth-generation warships are those forged initially, existing for several hundred to a thousand years, while others are the latest versions, completed in under a hundred years. Both are collectively referred to as sixth-generation warships, but their combat power significantly varies.
According to Ancestral Master Yu Zhenzi, selling the old sixth-generation warships and using the resources obtained to forge new sixth-generation warships makes sense.
However, after Wan Fayi voiced this speculation, he saw Pang Hong and Yu Zhenzi exchange a glance and smile slightly.
Pang Hong said, “It’s about building new warships, but it’s not about continuing to build sixth-generation warships.”
It’s a new warship, not a new sixth-generation warship.
Wan Fayi contemplated this statement, then his eyes flashed with keen vigor, and he asked incredulously, “Sect Leader, you mean to say, the legendary seventh-generation warship that can rival Daoist Monarchs! Has our warship technology evolved to such a level?”
When he said this, even with Wan Fayi’s experienced mindset, it was like a storm had stirred, hard to control. Fortunately, he retained his sanity. Although aware that this was the Ancestral Land of the Shenxiao Sect where no outsiders could probe, he instinctively lowered his voice, worried about the news leaking out.
It turns out they are constructing seventh-generation warships. According to current rumors and predictions from various forces, the seventh-generation warships are expected to match the power of Daoist Monarchs, and only such warships could be called seventh-generation.
Think about it—in this era where True Immortals are prominent and Daoist Monarchs dominate, a force with a True Immortal of the Sixth Heaven can be called a large immortal sect, and if they have a Daoist Monarch, they become a top immortal sect.
In this era, Daoist Monarchs are the invincible existence. A sect with a Daoist Monarch almost never worries about the threat of annihilation.
However, the advancement to Daoist Monarch is extremely difficult. Even up to now, the number of Daoist Monarchs in the Realms of Heavenly Seas is sparse.
At this moment, these two informed him that the Shenxiao Sect now possesses the capability to forge seventh-generation warships, a revelation likely to shock Heaven and Earth if spread.
Even if the seventh-generation warships cannot suppress Daoist Monarchs, the sheer fact that they can contend with Daoist Monarch-level power means the Shenxiao Sect could forge several seventh-generation warships to completely subdue the Chaos Void, especially since they have an invincible Ancestral Master present.
Realizing the profound heritage of the Shenxiao Sect, Wan Fayi was overwhelmed with indescribable excitement. He suddenly understood why their Ancestral Masters remained unperturbed amidst the changing external tides.
“Calm yourself! Calm yourself! Don’t be so agitated!” Seeing Wan Fayi’s excited expression, Yu Zhenzi roughly guessed the thoughts of his disciple and quickly comforted him.
Pang Hong also shook his head slightly and said, “It can’t truly be called a seventh-generation warship, it’s merely a quasi-seventh-generation warship!”
Over the years, the Shenxiao Sect has been wealthy in resources but hasn’t recklessly recruited disciples, which allowed them to invest ample resources elsewhere, such as in the advancement of warships.
Especially when the sixth-generation warships could equate to True Immortal Sixth Heaven experts, the idea of whether the seventh-generation warships could match Daoist Monarch power was brought forth, leading many forces to invest heavily.
Even Buddhism School and Demonic Gate, which didn’t focus much on warships, didn’t mean they weren’t concerned about whether seventh-generation warships could be developed.
After all, if the seventh-generation warships could truly be developed, it would indeed be an epoch-making event and an opportunity for each party to enhance their capabilities.
However, the development of these seventh-generation warships is extremely challenging, as the achievements of Daoist Monarchs themselves are extremely rare among True Immortals. Daoist Monarchs, as Monarchs of the Tao, wield Heavenly Authority, almost embodying the origin of Daoist Rules, existing eternally with Heaven and Earth, possessing mighty powers.
Even if the warships are powerful enough to rival True Immortals, to think an external object could rival Daoist Monarchs is in a way a disregard for the strength of Daoist Monarchs.
In recent years, although the Shenxiao Sect has spent significant resources and implemented various ideas, the results have been minimal until the emergence of a genius who truly made a breakthrough discovery for the seventh-generation warships.
But even with this breakthrough, it cannot truly bridge the power gap between True Immortals and Daoist Monarchs. The newly developed warships now cannot be called seventh-generation warships.
However, due to their overwhelming advantage over sixth-generation warships, they have been dubbed quasi-seventh-generation warships.
