A day later, in the secret basement…

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

"It's done!"

"Finally, it's finished! We did it!" the artisan master shouted as he attached the last piece.

"The page of history has begun to be written!" Zheng-Fu declared, standing beside him and gazing at the completed Noah Zeppelin. All that remained was to engrave the spell characters at key points, and the Zeppelin would be ready to take flight.

"Our work is done, Young Master. The rest is up to you. We could build it, but we can't make it fly," The muscular elder spoke up again, looking at Zheng-Fu with an expectant expression, eagerly awaiting the moment when the Noah Airship would actually be able to fly.

"No problem. The next part is dangerous, so I need everyone to step back from the Noah Zeppelin. If something goes wrong, I won't be able to protect you," Zheng-Fu replied, nodding to the elder and signaling the other artisans to retreat.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

In the blink of an eye, the young and middle-aged craftsmen standing around the Noah Zeppelin quickly stepped back to a safe distance, with no one complaining or hesitating even for a moment.

Wooooosh!

Flop! Wooooosh!

Flop! Wooooosh!

Zheng-Fu moved his hand in the air with such speed that it was impossible for an ordinary person to see the precise movements. To the onlookers, there was only a faint blur as the spell characters appeared, transparent and invisible to the naked eye.

Zheng-Fu's speed in drawing the spell characters was impressive. As a Divine Emperor-level sorcerer, creating numerous spells according to the blueprint was not difficult for him. The challenge lay in modifying and adding protective and offensive spells.

Since the Noah Zeppelin would be soaring in the sky, it could be damaged by various threats if it didn't have defenses or high-level protective spells. Therefore, Zheng-Fu needed to inscribe the Heavenly Shield spell and the Emperor Aqua Armor Screen spell for protection.

"I'm so lucky to witness this! I've never seen a real sorcerer before!"

"Me neither. But where are the spells?"

"You can't see them because you're not a sorcerer. I can't see them either!"

The young and middle-aged craftsmen all stared at Zheng-Fu with curiosity and fascination. They had never seen a sorcerer drawing spell characters up close like this before, so it was natural for them to feel extremely excited and intrigued.

One shichen passed…

Wooooosh!

Flop!

Boooooom!

"What… what just happened?"

"Was that an earthquake?"

At that moment, a sudden surge of intense energy erupted around the Noah Zeppelin in the middle of the secret chamber's courtyard. The young and middle-aged craftsmen, who had been resting nearby, were startled awake and looked around to find the source of the energy wave from just a moment ago.

Phew!

"Finally, it's done! I wasted one shichen of time!" Zheng-Fu sighed in relief, having finished engraving all the spell characters.

"So, it can fly now?" the artisan master asked eagerly after hearing from Zheng-Fu that it was done.

"Absolutely, Elder. It can float and fly. But first, I need to place the Qi energy stones to power it," Zheng-Fu nodded to the muscular elder before heading toward the entrance of the Noah Zeppelin. He proceeded to the engine room, or the energy chamber, to power up the Zeppelin and enable it to lift into the sky.

The Qi energy stones that Zheng-Fu used were Immortal-level Qi stones, and he used over a thousand of them. The reason he needed such a large number of Qi stones was due to the massive size of this Noah Zeppelin, a model that Zheng-Fu specifically designed for himself. It was equipped with numerous spells that required substantial energy, so Zheng-Fu opted to use a thousand Immortal-level Qi stones.

Of course, future Noah Zeppelins would not require nearly as many Qi stones and wouldn't need to use Immortal-level stones. Mid-level and high-level Qi stones would be more than sufficient, as those Zeppelins would be smaller in size and have fewer spells, resulting in much lower energy consumption.

Groooaaaan!

As soon as Zheng-Fu activated the energy, the Noah Zeppelin lifted slightly off the ground, hovering gracefully.

"It's lifting! It's really floating!"

"We did it! It floats!"

"Mom, I've finally contributed to history!"

"I can die content now!"

When everyone saw the Noah Zeppelin slowly begin to lift off, cheers of joy filled the room. Some couldn't hold back their tears, which streamed down both cheeks—tears of happiness and pride in their own creation.

"Open the top door!"

"Ohhhhh!"

Creeeeeak!

Suddenly, the muscular elder shouted, instructing the young craftsmen to help open the top door of the secret chamber. Once the Noah Zeppelin had risen to the designated height, and the door was opened, Zheng-Fu controlled it to float outside, where it appeared before the eyes of all the disciples within the sect. Every disciple who was training paused to watch the spectacle unfold.

"What… what is that?"

"It looks like a ship, but why is it in the sky?"

"If anyone knows what that is, please tell us! Or is it some kind of new demon?"

"No way! Do demons look like that? And even if one did, would it dare enter our denomination, knowing the Founder's strength?"

"So, what is it?"

"That's the Noah Zeppelin, designed and built by the Founder himself!"

"Huh?! Noah Zeppelin?!"

Suddenly, a voice began explaining to inform the disciples and elders gathered in the courtyard about what they were seeing. However, even with the explanation, they still didn't fully understand what the Noah Zeppelin was or what it was used for. The only thing they could infer was from the word "Zeppelin," suggesting that it could indeed fly, as they were witnessing.

"Order all disciples to clear the courtyard! The Founder is bringing the Noah Zeppelin down!"

Of course, the one speaking was Dong-Kuang, as he was the person who had learned about the Noah Zeppelin from Zheng-Fu and knew its purpose.

Without a second thought, the disciples swiftly vacated the courtyard, which quickly emptied.

Wooooosh!

Thump!

Shortly after all the disciples cleared the courtyard, the Noah Zeppelin landed smoothly and precisely in the open space. There was no shaking or impact as many had expected. Given the large size of the Zeppelin, most assumed that landing on the ground would cause a powerful jolt.

Flap!

"Respect to the Young Master!!" As soon as Zheng-Fu stepped out of the Noah Zeppelin, Dong-Kuang greeted him respectfully and then continued, "It's finally a success, Young Master. Congratulations!" Dong-Kuang expressed his heartfelt congratulations.

"Thank you very much. This was all thanks to the skilled artisans who worked together to build it. Without them, it wouldn't have been possible for me to complete it. And that includes you and Brother Hai-Dong as well!" Zheng-Fu nodded warmly, expressing his gratitude to all the artisans, as well as to Dong-Kuang and Hai-Dong, who helped organize these skilled artisans for him.

"It's my honor, Young Master. How well does the Noah Zeppelin function?" Dong-Kuang felt that it was simply his duty to do so and didn't dare to accept Zheng-Fu's praise. However, that wasn't as important as his curiosity about the Noah Zeppelin.

"It functions quite well, and you'll definitely get a chance to try it in the near future. Here's the blueprint for a smaller version of the Noah Zeppelin. I think a Nascent Soul-stage sorcerer should be able to make it float in the sky!" Zheng-Fu didn't elaborate much, as he hadn't yet tested it over any great distance, only hovering up and down in this spot.

Therefore, he couldn't say much about its overall performance, aside from letting Dong-Kuang experience it himself. Zheng-Fu handed him the modified blueprint for the smaller version of the Noah Zeppelin, which could be powered by a Nascent Soul-stage sorcerer to engrave the propulsion spells. As for constructing it, that would naturally fall to the skilled craftsmen currently in the secret chamber.

"I understand, Young Master. Will you be leaving for the Foggy Cloud Land now?" Dong-Kuang nodded obediently and understandingly, without asking too many questions. He only inquired about Zheng-Fu's journey, asking when he would be departing.

"Yes, I'll be leaving today, and I'll take the Zeppelin to test it on the journey. I'll see if there's anything that needs adjustment," Zheng-Fu replied.

"Safe travels, Young Master. As for the denomination, Hai-Dong and I…" Dong-Kuang began but was interrupted.

"Who said I'd stay here?" A voice interjected as Hai-Dong appeared beside Dong-Kuang, grinning broadly.

"Brother Hai-Dong!" Zheng-Fu exclaimed.

"I'd like to go with you. But not for leisure; I'll help establish connections with other sects," Hai-Dong explained, not wanting to seem irresponsible.

"I have no problem with that, but I'm afraid Brother Dong-Kuang will end up with too much work..."

"No worries, Young Master. It would be good for the denomination's reputation to build connections. I can handle things here," Dong-Kuang neither refused nor showed any displeasure, as he thought it would actually be beneficial in increasing the sect's reputation.

"All right, but Dong-Kuang, you'll be working twice as hard. Don't worry; I'll find some lovely girls for you on the way back!" Zheng-Fu didn't mind, as it was up to Dong-Kuang and Hai-Dong to work things out between themselves since they had to support each other's duties. To keep the atmosphere light, Zheng-Fu playfully teased Dong-Kuang about not yet having a woman or a romantic partner.

"That's not necessary, Young Master. I'll find her myself. You wouldn't know my type anyway!" Dong-Kuang replied, smiling.

"Very well! Hai-Dong and I will depart. There are many places we need to visit!" Zheng-Fu nodded, then excused himself to depart, as he had many places to visit and wasn't sure how fast this Noah Zeppelin would be for traveling from here to the Foggy Cloud Land.

"Wait! Let me come with you!"

"Huh…?"
