Chapter 1847: You Have Immortal Cultivation, I Have Science

Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen were a bit confused. What could he possibly do in this kind of situation?

Zu An took out a huge pile of weapons. The two women gave them a look and saw that they were just made of normal metal, not even earth-grade. Could these really be his solution against Zhao Han?

Zu An took out a sword, then put his finger on the sword hilt, forcefully separating the blade from the handle. Just like that, he took several swords apart.

Previously, for the sake of making the Blue Luan Sword Formation, he had obtained many weapons, but he had discovered that ordinary weapons weren’t that useful and used up a lot of energy for no reason; thus, he had given up on them. The materials were all left in the Brilliant Glass Bead.

“Do you have any swords or other weapons on you?” he asked. Just that amount didn’t seem to be enough.

Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen reflexively handed over their Crescent Ring and Snowflake Sword.

Zu An was speechless. He said, “These two won’t do; they’re too precious. It’s enough if it’s just some common stuff.”

Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen’s faces heated up.

Why are we even handing over our most beloved weapons?

At the same time, they were both curious as to why the other woman had done so without any hesitation.

The two both took out several weapons from their storage. They didn’t need weapons for refinement like Zu An, so they didn’t have too many on them. They had just prepared some spares, or items they could give to their subordinates as rewards. But of course, these items were naturally higher quality, with no lack of earth-grade weapons among them.

Zu An took them, and without even giving them a second glance, he broke them apart. The two women’s eyes twitched as they watched, but they also became more and more curious as to what he really wanted to do.

They saw Zu An remove all of the non-metal pieces and pile up the remaining metal. Then, a fire ignited in his hand, gradually melting the metal. He was worried that he would just burn away these weapons into nothing, so he carefully controlled the heat.

“Just what are you doing?” Yun Jianyue asked in confusion. Zhao Han was currently undergoing lightning tribulation and could break through and become a true immortal at any time, and yet he was doing something so puzzling. If not for the fact that they knew how reliable he was, they would likely have already begun to curse him.

“I’ll explain later,” Zu An said with fine sweat beading on his temples. He didn’t have the leisure to explain right now.

The metal quickly melted into liquid. He even asked the two women how he could increase the melting point of these metals so they could withstand greater strength. The two were grandmasters and the sect masters of their respective sects, so their knowledge was vast. They quickly suggested some methods.

Zu An nodded. He took out some special ki stones and crushed them into powder before adding them to the molten metal. Immediately after, it began to stir. He then started calling out from time to time, “Big sis Yan, some ice please.”

Yan Xuehen was completely confused, but she still gave him strands of cold energy whenever he asked for it to decrease the temperature.

“Big sis Yan, engrave some runes on it that will raise its durability and resistance to high temperature.”

Even though Yan Xuehen didn’t know what he was doing, she still carved the runes.

As she watched from the side, Yun Jianyue found it quite laughable. The glorious White Jade Sect Master, the goddess admired by countless people, was actually obeying a stinky brat’s every order like a blacksmith disciple.

Soon after, Zu An completed his project. When they saw the spherical shaped steel cage before them, the two women were stunned. They asked, “What are you going to use something like this for?”

“Electromagnetism makes Ancestral Master Faraday’s treasure the perfect item for tribulation!” Zu An replied.

“Ancestral Master Faraday? Electromagnetism?” Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen repeated in confusion. They couldn't help but exchange a look. What was electromagnetism? Why had they never heard of it before?

Zu An held the cage up. He gave the distant Zhao Han who was fighting bravely against the lightning tribulation a glance and said seriously, “Let’s go. We’ll head over together. The more, the better, since we can make the lightning tribulation stronger that way.”

Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue were dumbstruck. They were about to advise Zu An not to move closer, because he definitely wouldn’t be able to handle the tribulation lightning. However, he was so confident, and they were going to die if they didn’t do anything, so they could only let him give it a try.

Even so, why are we going over now too?

“Uh… I’ve always been a bit scared of thunder since I was little. I think it’s best if I sit this one out,” Yun Jianyue said with a cough. She shivered as soon as she gave that concentrated lightning field a look. Her body wasn’t even as tough as Zu An’s, so she could very well die just from getting closer.

Yan Xuehen gave the lightning field a look. The tribulation clouds were getting more and more concentrated. They were no longer pitch-black like before; instead, they had become a bit red. Meanwhile, Zhao Han was right inside the lightning field. There were thick tree-like streaks of lightning wandering around him.

Yan Xuehen’s eye couldn't help but twitch, and she said, “I feel as if it would be best if we used this chance to leave this place as quickly as possible.”

When he saw these two who normally feared nothing in this world act so anxious and frightened, Zu An couldn't help but smile, saying, “Don’t worry, I’m sure Ancestral Master Faraday will protect us.”

“Just what is electromagnetism?” Yan Xuehen asked with a slight frown. She thought that her knowledge and experience was vast, and she frequently read ancient books. However, she couldn't figure out what that thing was at all.

“Who is that ancestral master, and compared to that Immortal Ruler Baopu, who is stronger?” Yun Jianyue asked. She cared more about strength.

Zu An’s face twitched. He suddenly found it a bit hard to explain things clearly to these two. He could only ask seriously, “Do you two trust me or not?”

“Of course we do,” the two women reflexively replied.

“Then that’s enough. Just follow me,” Zu An said as he pulled the two women closer to the lightning field.

When he pulled on their hands, the two women both raised their brows. However, the situation was dangerous right now, so they couldn't really act up.

As if sensing that others were approaching, some of the lightning at the edge of the lightning field seemed to move in their direction, as if it could strike them at any time. The two women couldn't help but tremble. This had nothing to do with courage, but rather a natural reverence towards the world’s power.

However, Zu An held the two women’s hands tightly. When they felt his strong and warm hand, the two’s nervous minds gradually calmed down.

At worst, we’ll just accompany him in death. Either way, once Zhao Han breaks through, we’ll all die. Dying together as lovers isn’t that bad of an end.

When this thought emerged, their trembling bodies calmed down. What remained was just curiosity.

It makes sense for me to trust Ah Zu because of our relationship, but what is going on with that stone cold woman (witch)?

…

While the two women were lost in their own thoughts, Zu An quickly brought them into the steel sphere he made. He said, “Get a bit closer; you absolutely can’t touch the steel wiring on the side.”

Because the amount of materials they had was limited, there wasn’t too much space inside. Having three people inside made it a bit cramped. Zu An was worried that they would end up touching the walls of the sphere accidentally out of embarrassment, so he decided to just grab them each in one arm and press them against himself.

“You damn brat, aren’t you acting bold? You even dare to go after me?!” Yun Jianyue snapped, shooting him a hateful look. It wasn’t a big deal if they hugged each other in private, but in front of Yan Xuehen, this was too embarrassing!

“Let go of me!” Yan Xuehen exclaimed, also struggling with a reddened face. She thought, I really don’t know how I’ll be able to go on living if this witch finds out about our relationship!

“Don’t move. We’ll all die from the lightning if either one of you touches the metal wall,” Zu An quickly warned them.

Sure enough, those words were more useful than anything else. They were a bit scared of this lightning to begin with. If they ended up accidentally killing Zu An because of something they did, it would be far too late for regrets. Both of them stopped struggling.

“Hug me closely!” Zu An continued.

Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue were stunned.

This kid is going a bit too far!

They were about to act up, but Zu An had already brought them inside the range of the tribulation lightning. Soon after, countless streaks of lightning blasted down. The entire metal cage flickered with electricity. They could even see the plasma inside the lightning!

The two women now realized that their thoughts had gone in the wrong direction. In the end, it was just because this cage was too small. If they didn’t hold onto each other like this, they could end up touching the wall, and they would then be struck by the lightning. There was terrifying tribulation lightning everywhere. The two women didn’t have the luxury to think of anything else, and reflexively held tightly onto Zu An for fear of touching the metal cage in the slightest.

Zu An brought the two women’s legs a few feet off the ground. Fortunately, they could all fly, or else it would really be a bit troublesome.

Zhao Han had been watching their strange behaviors the entire time. He couldn't figure out what they were doing. However, they had entered the tribulation lightning, making his expression darken. Their plan was probably to try to increase the difficulty of his tribulation.

It’s a pity that you’re all too naive. Sure, the lightning will become stronger if there are more people, but how could you all endure such terrifying tribulation lightning?

Since you’ll all be blasted to ashes on the spot, I only need to hold on for a little while. It won’t make that much of a difference for me.

Sure enough, a deeper rumble filled the air from above them. It seemed that the tribulation lightning had been provoked with the entrance of Zu An’s group. As such, the entire lightning field became more and more berserk.

When Yun Jianyue was searching for Sun En, she had seen the terrifying lightning field created by the Record of High Firmament. However, when compared to today’s heavenly might, that lightning field was countless times weaker.

When they saw the endless lightning crash down on them, both her and Yan Xuehen’s entire bodies became tense. Their minds went blank as they cried, “We’re finished! We’re done for! Now we’re definitely dead!”

However, what was surprising was that when the lightning hit the cage, even though the entire thing flickered with lightning radiance, becoming like an electrified prison, they didn’t feel any of it inside the cage!

Zu An had still been a bit nervous at first, but now he sighed in relief. The Faraday Cage was effective after all! If you learned science, you had nothing left to fear in the world. He hadn’t expected that knowledge to actually come in handy in this different world.
