Ye Wuya and the others from the Lingxiao Sect laughed and said, "Sure. Operating the Spirit Ship is very easy."

Immediately, everyone boarded the Spirit Ship together.

Ye Wuya said, "This type of small Spirit Ship can be powered by mana, but for long flights, the mana consumption is substantial. Therefore, builders often set up a Driving Array on it, which can be powered by Spirit Stones to drive the ship."

As he spoke, he demonstrated to Yang Fei, Qin Yanyang, Helian Zhan, and Wang Chunyang how to use mana to power the Spirit Ship.

Under his control, the Spirit Ship started up and soared into the sky.

Ye Wuya said, "When using mana to drive the Spirit Ship, its sensitivity is actually the best, allowing the operator to achieve a state of unity with the ship. However, this is usually used with smaller Spirit Boats, as they are lighter for long journeys and do not consume much mana. But for a Spirit Ship of this size, relying solely on mana is quite consuming, thus requiring the assistance of a Driving Array."

After finishing, he pointed to the Driving Array and then inserted several Spirit Stones into it.

Once the Spirit Stones were added to the Driving Array, the whole array came to life, and a control panel appeared, showing various button mechanisms.

Ye Wuya explained it all to the group, then used the buttons in the Driving Array to navigate the Spirit Ship toward White Jade City.

The operation was simple enough that Yang Fei and the others understood at a glance.

Even the Defense Array of the Spirit Ship can activate automatically upon detecting danger.

For Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang, who grew up in the mundane world and were accustomed to high-tech, learning how to navigate the Spirit Ship left them stunned.

They discovered that the technological aspect of the Spirit Ship is incredibly advanced.

It can automatically activate its defense system to ward off external attacks upon detecting an assault.

During flight, it can also be set for location and time scheduling.

The sophistication of these arrays is simply more extraordinary than the technological era Earth had achieved before.

Qin Yanyang sincerely praised, "The help that talismans and arrays provide to such mechanical entities like Spirit Ships is immense."

Ye Wuya nodded, "Without the Talisman Array as a foundation, the Spirit Ship could not operate. Puppetry Technique also requires the talismanic needle technique as a basis, otherwise, the puppets produced are just dead objects, incapable of agile operation."

Lu Chen added, "Indeed, although the Cultivation World primarily focuses on enhancing realms through cultivation, in practical items of life as well as in combat, the application of Rune Tao and formations are most widespread. Especially Rune Tao, it is an indispensable foundational method in the Cultivation World."

Yang Fei silently nodded.

Previously, when Wu You and others took the Spirit Ship to flee, they were reluctant to leave this massive mining mountain range. So they circled around, even though everyone chased for several days and nights, they weren't particularly far from the main peak of White Jade City. Ye Wuya drove the Spirit Ship full speed and returned above White Jade City in just an hour and a half.

Inside the main peak of White Jade City, Zhuge Cang and Tong Yunshu were meticulously operating the Mountain Protection Array, ready for anything.

Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang stepped out, stood on the deck of the Spirit Ship, and waved to the people within the mid-mountain array.

"It's Yang Fei and the others," Tong Yunshu rejoiced.

"Be careful of fraud!" Zhuge Cang hastily warned.

Immediately alert, Tong Yunshu's heart froze.

Then, Yang Fei jumped down from the Spirit Ship.

Tong Yunshu was delighted, "It seems they achieved a great victory, even capturing the enemy's Spirit Ship."

The spirits of everyone within the Mountain Protection Array were lifted.

Previously, when the enemy attacked, their methods made everyone despair.

Later, when Yang Fei and the others turned the tide and the enemy fled, they breathed a sigh of relief. Afterward, Yang Fei led the pursuit, and everyone was constantly worried over the past few days, unsure of the outcome. Now, seeing Yang Fei return with the enemy's Spirit Ship, the group's morale naturally soared, and many cheered.

If Yang Fei and the others had been defeated, everyone here would have suffered greatly, with no good end in sight.

Faced with threats from external cultivators, everyone cultivating at White Jade City, regardless of their original affiliation, united with one heart against external threats.

Zhuge Cang looked at the slowly descending Spirit Ship with burning eyes.

For him, interested as he was in Rune Tao and formations, this Spirit Ship was like a beloved car to someone who just got their driver's license.

"Yang Fei, did you achieve a great victory?" Tong Yunshu came to Yang Fei's side and asked excitedly.

Yang Fei nodded, "You could say that. We captured four, while the other twelve fled in disarray. We even seized their Spirit Ship. Now that they have lost their Spirit Ship, they can't traverse the space channel and are stuck on Earth, making them no longer a threat."

Everyone originally thought the enemy was completely annihilated, not expecting twelve to escape. However, upon hearing they're no longer a threat to White Jade City, they relaxed again.

At this moment, Ye Wuya piloted the Spirit Ship, landing on the broad platform at mid-mountain of White Jade City.

The Spirit Ship wasn't very large, only eighteen meters long, over five meters wide, and seven point two meters high. Once the runic array stopped running, it looked like an ordinary wooden ship.

Zhuge Cang flew onto it, his eyes fervent, his expression excited as he examined the Spirit Ship, especially the various Rune Formations engraved on it.

"Yun Shu, come quickly to see this rune." Zhuge Cang suddenly called excitedly to Tong Yunshu.

Tong Yunshu glanced at Yang Fei, her face showing a hint of amusement and helplessness. Yet, being very interested in Rune Tao and formations herself, she said to Yang Fei, "I'll go take a look."

Yang Fei smiled, "Mm, you and Elder Zhuge study it carefully. Strive to replicate this Spirit Ship soon, so when us Earth cultivators enter the larger Cultivation World, we don't need to seize Spirit Ships from others."

Tong Yunshu sighed, "It's not that easy. Just a glance at the runes and formations on it reveals their depth; comprehending them is very difficult. Moreover, even if I understand the formations, building such a Spirit Ship requires a master's hand."

Yang Fei laughed, "Every craft has its expertise. First, comprehend the Rune Tao and formations. Later, if we find a builder, we might create even more powerful Spirit Ships."

Qin Yanyang also nodded, "Yes, the construction of various flying devices in the Cultivation World, and mechanical puppetry, all need talismans and formations as a foundation. Master Rune Tao and arrays, and you can create amazing mechanical devices—the equivalent of core technology in the tech era."

Tong Yunshu looked at her and nodded, "I will study diligently."

After saying that, she leaped onto the Spirit Ship.

Yang Fei took a deep breath and loudly addressed everyone, "Everyone, as you can see, the Outer Domain Cultivation World covets Earth's cultivation resources. I believe it won't be long before they send more cultivators. To prevent our resources from being plundered, we must unite and cultivate diligently. Strive to contribute your strength in the next invasion, advance together, and elevate your realm early, journeying freely into the broader Cultivation World."
