Chu Jia outlined her method to everyone.
While this method wasn't perfect, it did, at present, appear to be a method that would maximize the preservation of the essence of the Lingyin Realm and its survivors.
Gu Mingzheng's expression shifted after hearing this. He understood that if this method were implemented, the survivors of the Lingyin Realm, including some warriors, would be sacrificed.
However, he was also well aware that everyone before him, from the Star Robe Supreme down, was equally determined to seize the Lingyin Realm.
He could secure every possible benefit for the Lingyin Realm's survivors, but he absolutely could not express even the slightest objection to this matter.
So, after Chu Jia finished explaining her method and everyone was still quietly pondering and digesting it, Gu Mingzheng was the first to speak: "I agree with Master Chu's plan and will cooperate with him to the best of my ability."
Aside from the Star Robe Avatar, the other academy warriors looked at Master Gu Mingzheng in surprise, but then they were filled with a newfound admiration.
Song Zhen then said, "But Hall Master Chu's plan ultimately relies on us having an Ark. The question is, how do we obtain enough Sky Stone to build a Spirit-grade Ark?"
However, just as Song Zhen finished speaking, Chu Jia said, "Perhaps we can temporarily possess a Spirit-grade Ark without Sky Stone!"
Even before Chu Jia finished speaking, everyone's gaze shifted to her, their eyes flickering with a strange light.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Chu Jia immediately asked with a hint of annoyance, "Don't you believe it?"
Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment, no one dared to speak first.
Finally, the Star-robed Avatar spoke, "What do you plan to do?"
Chu Jia said, "It's simple. Set up a Five Elements formation within the Ark to simulate the 'Five Elements Void Secret Technique.' Then, you can personally perform the 'Opening the Void and Establishing the Realm Technique.' This will be enough to create a space within the Ark that can quickly accommodate the Cave Heaven Secret Realm."
The Star-robed Avatar subconsciously turned his gaze to Hai Yuanyuan, only to see her give an embarrassed giggle.
Both the "Five Elements Void Secret Art" and the "Art of Breaking Through the Void and Establishing a Realm" are unique martial arts secrets inherited by Shang Xia. Chu Jia, as someone very close to him, even though he knew of their existence, he did not understand their true foundation. The only one who knew the true details of these two secrets was Hai Yuanyuan, the heir of the original body.
Of course, all of this was based on Chu Jia's in-depth study of the Five Elements Formation.
The Star-robed Avatar pondered for a moment and said, "Even if the formation you've set up can support my 'Boundary-Breaking Technique,' even if the Spirit Sound Realm returns to a secret cave realm, it will undoubtedly be of the highest caliber. How long do you think this temporary measure can last? Especially when traversing the gaps in the boundary barrier, we'll face the impact of the Celestial Realm's tides, which will place even greater demands on the stability of the Ark's interior."
Chu Jia immediately summoned the Five Elements Ring and said, "I have this. At worst, I can just give up this divine weapon. It's more than enough to withstand the impact of the Celestial Realm's tides."
The Star-robed Avatar raised a brow. "Are you willing to give it up?"
Chu Jia stroked the divine weapon in his hand, a chuckle on his face. He said, "At worst, you can make me another Five Elements Ring Divine Weapon. And if we can return most of the essence of the Lingyin Small World to this world, the price we pay will definitely be more than just a formation divine weapon."
Huang Yu subconsciously asked, "What else?"
Before Chu Jia could speak, the Star Robe Avatar said, "I'm afraid that Ark will also be scrapped."
Chu Jia nodded and said, "My formation cultivation has been pushed to its limit, but it is only with the help of the Five Elements Void Secret Art. Maintaining the formation at the sixth-grade limit, while supporting a secret realm that embodies some of the characteristics of the Metaverse, requires the support of the Seventh Heaven."
The Star-robed Avatar also explained, "The essence of heaven and earth in a cave-heaven secret realm is secondary to the Lingfeng Realm. The Lingyin Realm failed at the last moment of its advancement to the Metaverse, and the most essential essence it retains is fully endowed with the characteristics of the Metaverse. This is what the Lingfeng Realm truly needs, and yet, even a Spirit-level Ark cannot carry this essence."
At this point, the Star-robed Avatar further added, "The Spirit-level Ark can only carry... This is the reason why a Spirit-level Ark cannot carry fragments of worlds below the Spirit-level, and cannot carry fragments of the Yuan-level upper realm land containing the Origin Sea. This is also the key reason why a Spirit-level Ark can only be Spirit-level.
Huang Yu asked, "So, these Sky Stones actually have different grades?"
The Star-robed Avatar replied as a matter of course, "Of course!"
Now that everyone had agreed on a plan, not only the Tongyou Academy group, but also the remaining warriors within the Lingyin Small Realm were mobilized as much as possible. Under Chu Jia's command, they began the final upgrade of the Ark within the Lingyin Small Realm.
Thanks to Gu Mingzheng's intervention, a large amount of material resources from the Lingyin Small Realm were contributed, and even several fourth-level and above formation masters among the remaining people participated in the arrangement of the Five Elements formation within the Ark.
Outside the Lingyin Small Realm, the Tongyou Academy's large star ship, having scavenged a large amount of material resources from the world ruins, was sent to the Lingyin Small Realm as soon as it could be used.
Even though this was merely a temporary formation for a pre-departure, with a vast supply of resources, the formation masters, led by Chu Jia, toiled day and night, spending nearly a month before the ark's reconstruction was complete.
However, at this point, the ark was still far from a true ark. After Song Zhen and his companions navigated the ark from the small realm, the Star-robed Avatar entered the ark alone, under the anxious gaze of the crowd.
Accompanied by almost imperceptible fluctuations in the void, the Star-robed Avatar, under his meticulous control, unleashed the "Secret Art of Opening the Void and Establishing the Realm," finally creating a highly stable secret space within the ark.
At this point, the mission of this unconventional ark was half accomplished.
The remaining half depended on whether it could carry the further concentrated Spirit Sound Realm within its interior and withstand the test of the Celestial Realm's tides as it traversed the gaps in the realm's barrier.
