The Root of Demonic Beasts

Cruise missiles operating within the atmosphere have a speed determined by their engines.

That is, scramjet engine.

What are the technical challenges of this engine?

Fuel, design, materials, thermal balance, injectors!

Hypersonic missiles need to overcome these challenges.

And these technologies...

Fuel, obtained through shared spirits.

The materials, black gold, are enough.

The remaining design and flame jet aspects will be determined by the drawings provided there.

As for thermal balance...

He arranged it himself.

However, he believed that when he was possessed by the True Spirit and became one with the missile, it wouldn't be difficult to grasp this point.

"Beep beep beep."

The message is flashing.

Soon, Gu Jinlai received information from the head of the command center for external civilization exchanges on Blue Star.

Since it concerned whether he could deter Spirit Transformation cultivators, Gu Jinlai quickly and carefully examined the information after receiving it.

Result...

"Good grief, all I want is to build a missile, and you're telling me to use a nuclear explosion to propel it at supersonic speeds? I can already create nuclear explosions by hand, what would I need a missile for?"

He felt like he couldn't keep up with the other person's thought process.

Furthermore, the theory of using nuclear explosion shockwaves as engine acceleration...

He had indeed heard of it, but wasn't this technology used for spaceships?

The spacecraft can achieve incredible speeds by releasing the thrust of a nuclear explosion in space.

Used in missiles...

Is this reasonable?

Gu Jinlai have been looking at this document with some concern.

Was his statement unclear?

Still...

They think that since I'm an alien, I should use this kind of engine to repair a spaceship?

Gu Jinlai had no choice but to send another message: "This technology has been abandoned by us due to its great safety risks, and I do not have enough materials to produce enough nuclear bombs as propulsion materials. Therefore, please provide me with complete information on 'Sky Arrow'."

However, several hours after the message was sent, Gu Jinlai received no response.

"You've become suspicious?"

Gu Jinlai, he frowned.

After a moment, he calmed down.

It's not surprising to be suspicious; for an alien to specifically request information about "Sky Arrow" is indeed a bit...

That's too eager for quick success and instant benefits.

If I had known he wanted all the missiles on Blue Star, this vague statement would have both concealed his true intentions and given Blue Star some room to maneuver.

Moreover...

All missiles are like clearing a pond to catch fish; even if the missile data obtained in the end is not satisfactory, there will still be some gains.

Now, all we can do is wait.

"Once the other side verifies the specific properties of the black gold material I provided, this metal, which is a generation ahead of Blue Star, will surely come to me for further trade."

This Gu Jinlai.

He then left the observatory.

Outside, Gu Junxiu waited with a solemn expression.

"Keep listening, and contact me as soon as you get any information."

It Gu Jinlai.

"Yes."

"Also, how's the mold I asked you to make coming along?"

"The Xuan Nu fighter jet is quite large and is not yet completed. However, the second large radar has been cast and, as per your request, we have moved it into the cave."

"Good."

Gu Jinlai nodded.

This large radar is a mold that has been planned Gu Jinlai to be used for forced spiritual connection after the rift in the Demon Realm opens.

Once the spiritual connection is complete, its power will be assessed...

It is estimated to be able to scan the fluctuations of divine thought within a radius of hundreds, or even two hundred kilometers.

With this radar, he will be able to detect anyone approaching Lingxiao City immediately from now on.

This way, one can effectively prevent being assassinated by a Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivator's flying sword.

But all of this...

We'll have to wait until the Demon Realm Rift opens.

Thinking to himself, he glanced toward the cave and said, "Report to me immediately if there's any movement inside."

"Clear!"

The ancient bronze vessel, heavily rusted, seemed to echo the promise.

From Gu Jinlai, they have left Qiushan and returned to Lingxiao City.

He did not return to his own residence, but went to the military workshop.

The courtyard where Zong Heng, Qiu Shuiyue, Zhou Mingshi, and others lived was right next to the military workshop.

Upon learning of Gu Jinlai's visit, the three immediately stopped what they were doing and greeted him with clasped hands.

"Ancient Heavenly Lord".

"There's no need for such formalities, gentlemen."

Gu Jinlai waved his hand and asked, "How's your Great Sun Demon God Body Refining Technique coming along?"

"This body-refining method is exquisite. With the help of this method, the strength of our three essences and qi is increasing day by day. In at most another half month, we will be able to complete the Organ Refining Blood Changing, and then refine essence into qi."

As Zong Heng spoke, he bowed again and said, "Thank you for your trust, Heavenly Lord, in bestowing upon me such a wonderful method."

"It's good that it works. I happen to have some free time today, so I'll cleanse the demonic energy within you once more."

After recounting the stories of the Gu Jinlai, contemplate the Great Sun.

In an instant, a blazing, dazzling light swept across all directions.

Even though the three celestial masters had witnessed the wonders of this great sun more than once, they were still sincerely amazed by the intense and pure power within it.

"The Heavenly Lord is unparalleled in the cultivation of the Nine Refinements of the Great Sun Ninefold Refinement Visualization Method. Even the founder of this lineage is inferior to the Heavenly Lord."

Zong Heng praised it.

"You flatter me."

After Gu Jinlai got to the point. "The three Celestial Masters have been immersed in this path for many years, and possess a lineage and extensive connections. They should know about the existence of the rift in the Demon Realm, right?"

"Nature."

Zong Heng nodded. "The rift in the Demon Realm is the source of Demonic Spirit and Demonic Beasts, and also the root of chaos in the world."

As he spoke, he asked, "Does the Heavenly Lord wish to inquire about how the rift in the Demon Realm was formed? According to the investigations of our predecessors over the years, the reason for its formation... is related to spacetime... and even originates from the pursuit and overlap of spacetime between the two worlds."

Thinking back to his earlier guesses, Gu Jinlai had a sudden inspiration. "Explain in detail."

Zong Heng organized his thoughts and slowly began to recount the research that the Celestial Masters had conducted on the Demon Realm and Demon Realm rifts within it over the past ten thousand years.

These studies are very similar to the theory that has been observed on Blue Star Gu Jinlai.

Time and space overlap.

Two worlds located in the same space but belonging to different points in time overlap due to some fortuitous opportunity.

When overlap occurs, various phenomena will arise.

Such as information projection.

This projection could be a dream, a thought, or simply bioelectric waves.

Ordinary people wouldn't care.

But the Celestial Masters all have a heart that seeks the truth of heaven and earth and all things.

So, they delved into dreams, hallucinations, and inexplicable, completely illogical thoughts in their minds, and ultimately...

They learned of the existence of the Demon Realm.

When they became aware of the Demon Realm, the Demon Realm also became aware of them.

Just like the observable and unobservable states of a particle.

When they are not observable, they will not intersect; instead, they will drift further apart.

When it is observable...

The connection between the two worlds suddenly became very close.

Through continuous research into this state, the Celestial Masters eventually even invented the "Star Gate" technology.

This technology allows for interdimensional teleportation via the Demon Realm as a transit point.

With the help of the Star Gate teleportation, the Celestial Masters can return home in the next second, even if they are tens of thousands of miles away one second ago.

That was the most prosperous and brilliant era of the Celestial Master civilization.

"Establish a star gate in the rift of the Demon Realm, and use the Demon Realm as a transit station to travel thousands of miles."

Gu Jinlai took a deep breath.

It is foreseeable how prosperous the Celestial Masters civilization was at that time.

"However, as the number of Celestial Master sects increased, Demon Realm has also increased. By the time the Celestial Masters realized this and ended the conflict, they were no longer able to completely seal all the rifts in the Demon Realm. And by the last hundred years, it had become even more so..."

Zong Heng let out a long sigh as he finished speaking.

"So, there are many rifts in the Demon Realm?"

"There are many, but most of the Demon Realm Rifts are fleeting, usually opening only once. These rifts appear frequently and in unpredictable locations, which greatly hinders the sealing mission. On the other hand, those Demon Realm Rifts that open regularly and continuously are not very dangerous as long as someone is watching them."

Zong Heng paused, then continued, "That was only in the past. Strictly speaking, these rifts are far more dangerous because the rifts that appear intermittently are small, making it difficult for large Demonic Spirit to pass through. However, the rifts in the Demon Realm that open periodically and continuously will expand over time until they can accommodate large Demonic Spirit, or even calamity Demonic Spirit..."

"Within Muzhou, the reason why the Demon Realm Rift was continuously opened and grew larger was because the Celestial Master was not asked to seal it in time, which ultimately led to the fall of all four major states in the east, west, south and north."

Qiu Shuiyue added.

How many of these periodically opening Demon Realm rifts are there in China? What is their scale?

There are six locations that can be clearly identified.

Qiu Shuiyue said, "There is one in Tianhe, one in Muzhou, and of the other four, one is in Rizhou, two are in Zhongzhou, and one is in the capital. In terms of size, the rift in the capital is the largest, which can accommodate a disaster-level Demonic Spirit. The two rifts in Zhongzhou are slightly smaller, but they can also accommodate large Demonic Spirit. The remaining three are all at this level."

After saying that, she added, "These are things that can be clearly identified. If you include the hidden rifts in the Demon Realm, the total number is definitely more than ten."

"Large cracks".

It can accommodate large Demonic Spirit.

Large Demonic Spirit often require several Grand Celestial Masters or Celestial Lords to use their soul-binding secret techniques to kill them.

However, the number of Celestial Masters is now extremely small...

"Apart from the capital and Zhongzhou, these Demon Realm rifts are basically unguarded. The Demonic Spirit that rush out quickly merge with ferocious beasts. The larger the Demonic Spirit, the faster it grows. In a year at most, it can transform a ferocious beast into a high-ranking Demonic Beasts. If it devours a large number of humans, it can evolve into a Demonic Beasts king that wreaks havoc on a state. This is why there has been more and more information about Demonic Beasts running rampant recently."

Zong Lian, who was standing to the side, also sighed.

Gu Jinlai intended to search for more rifts in the Demon Realm to see if he could accelerate the sharing of spirits by refining demonic Demonic Spirit and forge powerful weapons.

But given the current situation...

Obviously not.

Demonic Beasts kings have appeared in both Tianhe and Muzhou.

Occupying either of these two gaps would be an impossible task in a short period of time.

Unless...

Cooperate with Great Qian.

Judging from the actions of the Great Qian royal family, they still very much hope to seal the rift in the Demon Realm and solve the Demonic Beasts chaos at its source.
