Chapter 2059: Chapter 2059: Immortal Substance! Continue Repairing the God Slaying Cannon! Future Plans!
After reminding Wang Qingxue a few times, Mu Jinyu turned and entered the pitch-black cabin.
He didn’t mind this at all. In fact, he thought such a dark environment was more suited for resting.
"Ming, I want to take a nap. Keep an eye out for me, will you? If anything happens, remember to wake me up!"
Before falling asleep, Mu Jinyu still felt a bit uneasy, so he reminded Ming again.
"Alright, you can rest!"
Ming agreed without hesitation.
After all, it didn’t need rest and would indeed keep a close watch on the surroundings.
If there was anything unusual, it could be the first to notice and inform Mu Jinyu.
There was no reason not to alert Mu Jinyu.
Otherwise, if something went wrong,
should Mu Jinyu sink with the Underworld Ghost Ship into the Forbidden Dead Sea, it would sink with him.
How long would it take before it could reemerge?
Ensuring Mu Jinyu’s safety was also ensuring its own.
It wouldn’t be careless or purposely cause Mu Jinyu trouble!
Mu Jinyu felt at ease upon seeing Ming’s agreement.
He lay down casually in a somewhat clean spot and began to snore in slumber.
He slept for a whole day and night.
"Yawn!"
Finally, Mu Jinyu woke up, yawning as he stretched before rising from the ground.
"Did I sleep for a day?"
Upon waking, Mu Jinyu calculated briefly and knew how long he had slept.
To his surprise, he had only slept a day.
He originally thought that without any disturbances, he could sleep for at least three days!
Ming replied, "There’s a certain substance in this cabin that keeps one’s soul at an almost immortal state, which helps your mental recovery a lot. That’s why you woke refreshed after just one day!"
"So that’s it!"
Upon hearing Ming’s response, Mu Jinyu immediately understood.
Then he curiously asked, "Do you know where this substance comes from?"
His heart stirred with excitement — had he just found a treasure?
This substance, which could maintain one’s soul in an almost immortal state, was undoubtedly rare and possibly more valuable than the entire Underworld Ghost Ship!
Ming responded, "Don’t think too much about it. Only traces of this substance remain, and it’ll soon be completely gone. You can’t obtain it!"
"I see..." Mu Jinyu inevitably felt a bit regretful upon hearing Ming’s words.
He then thought that these remnants were probably left by the Earth Prince’s Descendant.
Though he had only a skeleton, it retained considerable spiritual wisdom, near immortality, likely due to this substance?
Then this substance must indeed be very precious, perhaps left to him by the Earth Emperor!
Consider this, Mu Jinyu asked Ming to confirm.
He wanted to know if it was true!
But Ming shook his head and said, "It shouldn’t be from the Earth Emperor. After all, I have been by the Earth Emperor’s side and never saw him obtain or give such a substance to his descendant!"
After pondering a bit, Ming continued, "I think he must have had a unique opportunity."
"Hmm."
Mu Jinyu nodded and thought that was probably the case.
"This remnant of the substance is about to disappear!" At this moment, Ming reminded once again, "Hurry and continue repairing the God Slaying Cannon. Perhaps you can incorporate a little of this substance, which would greatly benefit the cannon!"
"Oh, okay!"
Hearing Ming’s words, Mu Jinyu quickly agreed, then took out the incredibly heavy God Slaying Cannon from the Qiankun Ring again.
The rune repair on the God Slaying Cannon had already been underway for a month on that sea ship.
It was almost complete at that time.
Only two or three runes away from completion.
But unfortunately, he later attended that unpleasant banquet, and they unexpectedly arrived at the Underworld Ghost Sea.
In the subsequent events, he certainly had no chance to continue working on the cannon.
Because, with the cannon’s current unfinished rune repair state,
if he had activated the God Slaying Cannon back then, it might have had even more power to obliterate the Corpse Whale Beast.
Thinking about this, Mu Jinyu felt a rush of enthusiasm.
His passion for repairing the God Slaying Cannon grew!
In the blink of an eye, another two days had passed.
"Buzz!!"
Finally, as Mu Jinyu inscribed the last rune absorbed by the God Slaying Cannon,
the entire cannon shuddered slightly, emitting a brilliant golden light.
Then the golden light retracted,
making the God Slaying Cannon appear ordinary once more.
At this moment, the cannon looked as though it were cast in bronze, with many patches of patina, exuding an ancient aura and a sense of desolation.
Anyone looking at this cannon probably wouldn’t consider it terrifying or frightening.
But who would have thought this God Slaying Cannon could now effortlessly obliterate Zenith Space-Light Realm powerhouses or even those beyond?
"Hmm, very good. You’ve done a splendid job repairing these runes. However, to further enhance the God Slaying Cannon so it can obliterate any existence below the King Realm, quite a bit of Divine Iron is required!"
After Mu Jinyu finished the rune repair, Ming’s voice echoed again, this time with some appreciative praise.
"That would be beyond my reach. I can’t acquire the Divine Iron necessary to repair the God Slaying Cannon to such an extent!"
Mu Jinyu replied with a bitter smile, shaking his head without much expectation. "I’m already very satisfied with the God Slaying Cannon’s current power!"
"If I ever acquire that Divine Iron, I’d rather use it to repair you!"
Hearing Mu Jinyu’s last words, Ming was slightly taken aback. Then, with a complex tone mixed with emotion, he said, "You... you want to repair me first?"
Mu Jinyu replied as if it were obvious, "Of course! Without you, I would have probably perished in that Underworld Ghost Sea!"
"You’ve helped me a lot, as has the Earth Emperor’s Tome. To me, repairing you is the highest priority—it’s natural since you are, after all, an Ancestral Weapon!"
Upon hearing this, Ming was silent for a moment before sighing, "Though I’m an Ancestral Weapon, repairing me won’t help you much, because you don’t have enough cultivation to wield me!"
"But the God Slaying Cannon is different. With sufficient energy, after it’s properly repaired, it really could easily annihilate anything below the King Realm!"
Mu Jinyu chuckled and said, "So, does that mean I can act wantonly?"
"Didn’t you also say that a fully repaired God Slaying Cannon can only obliterate existences below the King Realm, whereas the top fighters of the Canglan Realm are King Realm and Emperor Level?"
"Thus, even if I repair the God Slaying Cannon, I would still dare not act recklessly!"
"That would be suicidal!"
"Besides, I’m not someone who overly relies on weapons. Improving my own cultivation is more important!"
"Repairing you also means you can regain more of your memory. Your insights and experience will be of greater help to me!"
"Haha!" Hearing Mu Jinyu say so, Ming was silent for a moment before also laughing heartily and said, "It’s up to you, but remember, you are still only at the First Layer of the Life-and-Death Realm, so don’t think too far ahead!"
"Hmm, got it!" Mu Jinyu lazily replied.
