"If we cooperate..."

Gu Jinlai, people have thought of Star King Jiang Chongshan.

He was the link between himself and the Great Qian imperial family.

In addition, he was a celestial ruler.

With this title, it's barely enough to suppress a large Demon Realm rift.

As for the mission to attack the Demon Realm Rift...

It was the responsibility of the Great Qian imperial family.

If this goal can truly be achieved...

From now on, his Spirit Artifacts will never lack spirituality again.

Let alone close-in weapon systems, even the Xuan Nu fighter jet can be forcibly created by stacking spiritual energy.

After all, no matter how fantastical the Xuan Nu fighter jet is, can it be more exaggerated than the Star Gate and the Floating Island?

"We still have to wait. Right now, I'm too small. If I really cooperate with the Great Qian royal family, and things go wrong, they might use force to control me and force me to guard the Demon Realm Rift. I wouldn't be able to do anything about it... Although the possibility of such a thing happening is very low, what if the Great Qian royal family is about to perish? What crazy things wouldn't they do then?"

Throughout Gu Jinlai, we have all tried to calm ourselves down.

The Blue Star side hasn't found a suitable solution to the problem...

It's not that we couldn't find it.

From Gu Jinlai, people return to their studies and gaze upon the two beams of clear light preserved in their spiritual world.

One of the methods was directly utilized and injected into the consciousness of the little figure.

Immediately, information about howitzers, cannons, mortars, rocket launchers, surface-to-air missiles, and air-to-air missiles flooded in.

Most of this information is related to pictures and videos, with very little involving professional data.

However, through the analysis of images and videos, he also gained some insights.

Especially weapons like howitzers and cannons, which are not particularly technologically advanced.

Nowadays, Gu Jinlai have spread out a piece of paper and quickly drawn a howitzer and related design patterns for the shell.

This process took three days.

After finishing the blueprints, he went to the military workshop, a crucial location in Lingxiao City, found Gu Junlei, and handed him the blueprints.

"These are the items you will need to produce next. You can seek help from Master Zongheng for some details and polishing."

"Yes."

Gu Junlei stared blankly at the three-meter-long cannon barrel shown on the paper, but immediately agreed, "Yes."

"Produce fifty cannons and three thousand shells as quickly as possible. In addition, I will set up a rhinoceros-drawn vehicle specifically for loading these cannons."

"Yes."

Gu Junlei agreed and quickly withdrew, accepting the order.

Today, the military workshop has expanded again, with more than 20,000 employees.

The task of fifty artillery pieces and three thousand shells is difficult, but it is not impossible to accomplish given enough time.

The great city of Baihe.

Xue Wuqing has occupied this city for half a year. During this time, he has been constantly developing the city, and the entire city is now under their control.

And...

Centered on this city, they control several surrounding cities, and their influence is growing.

However, at this moment, the person in charge of all matters, big and small, in this city was not Red-Robed Elder, but Tan Qingquan, a Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivator and sect elder who had condensed his Yin Spirit and could take a person's head from ten miles away by flying on his sword.

Furthermore, to ensure the absolute safety of the situation in Baihe City, a month ago, the Purgatory Sect sent another elder, Sha Wujin, to assist Tan Qingquan in managing the situation in Star Province.

But at this moment...

An uninvited guest arrived at the courtyard where Tan Qingquan lived.

"Sect Master Lin, you said you have important matters to discuss with me, matters that could even determine our Purgatory Sect's plans in Star Province, and even accelerate our efforts to occupy the area south of the Milky Way?"

Tan Qingquan looked at the vice sect leader, who had been almost squeezed out of the center of power because of the defeat in Yuanhua City, and said indifferently, "You better not be bluffing, otherwise, with the triennial council of elders about to begin, it will be very questionable whether you can keep your position as vice sect leader."

The man standing in front of him was none other than Lin Xiao.

He said solemnly, "Please rest assured, Elder, everything I am about to say is true and there is not a single falsehood in it."

"Speak, what is it?"

"Regarding why Gu Jinlai have been able to cultivate to the rank of Heavenly Lord in such a short time."

Lin Xiao said.

"Um?"

Tan Qingquan's heart stirred.

My immediate thought was of Lin Xiao's relentless targeting of people Gu Jinlai, this kind of targeting...

Strictly speaking, it was somewhat deliberate.

In addition, the Celestial Master Gu Jinlai has always exhibited an unusually rapid growth rate...

Many people speculate that there is an extraordinary lineage of celestial masters that has existed Gu Jinlai.

Of course, it was fortunate that it was a lineage of Celestial Masters, and that it had been established throughout Gu Jinlai; otherwise, someone would have already taken action.

"Tell me about it."

Tan Qingquan said, "If your information is useful, not only will your position as vice sect leader be unshakeable, but the Lin family will also receive sufficient support and sect resources to revitalize itself."

"Yes."

Lin Xiao felt somewhat unwilling.

However, he has been in a very difficult situation recently due to Qin Li's suppression.

Seeing that his power and influence had grown stronger with Gu Jinlai, even the combined efforts of two Spirit Transformation cultivators from the Cold Moon Sect had failed to subdue him, and he himself...

But he's about to lose even his position as vice sect leader.

Therefore, he made the decision to sacrifice the pawn to save the king without hesitation.

"Based on my investigations over the years, the traditions Gu Jinlai are related to the overseas Tianyuan Dao."

"Tianyuan Dao".

As an elder of the Purgatory Sect, Tan Qingquan was naturally aware of this power.

This is a colossal entity that occupies an island spanning three million square kilometers overseas.

Its jurisdiction has hundreds of millions of people, which is comparable to that of the Great Qian Dynasty.

In previous years, there was trade between them and Great Qian.

However, it seems that a huge rift in the Demon Realm has appeared on their continent, and countless Demonic Spirits surge out and devour the entire island.

Decades ago, Tianyuan Dao was no match for the Demonic Beasts and attempted to invade Great Qian, moving its heritage to Great Qian territory. However, it was repelled by the Imperial Preceptor Taiyuan using the power of the Dao artifact, Light.

As for now...

It is said that the entire territory has fallen.

"When Su Nanxing, a disciple of Gu Jinlai, was guarding the Longshan Mine, he discovered a corpse that had been dead for many years. Seeing that the corpse had not decomposed after several years of death, he quickly concealed the news and obtained a Jade Slip from the corpse, which he presented to his master, Gu Jinlai."

"Jade Slips!?"

Tan Qingquan instantly realized the key point. "Jade Slip of inheritance that Primordial Spirit True Lord can refine!?"

"Exactly."

Lin Xiao nodded emphatically. "The fact that this corpse could remain intact for several years speaks volumes about its cultivation level during its lifetime. Later, I carefully examined the corpse's clothing and found that it was dressed in the attire of an elder of the Tianyuan Dao sect."

After saying that, he immediately added, "The value of the Jade Slip is self-evident. Gu Jinlai, those who obtained that Jade Slip immediately applied for a transfer from the Purgatory Sect and even abandoned the Spirit Refining Realm to become Celestial Masters. This shows the value of that Jade Slip... I even suspect..."

The deputy sect leader took a deep breath and said with malice, "I suspect that the elder was the transmission elder of Tianyuan Dao. He took all the inheritance of Tianyuan Dao and fled to our Great Qian territory, wanting to pass on Tianyuan Dao. But for some reason... he either Qi Deviation or was too badly injured, and eventually... died in the Longshan Mine."

Lin Xiao's message caused Tan Qingquan's expression to change.

He knew very well what it meant for Lin Xiao to tell him this news.

To use someone else to do one's dirty work.

Using this elder as a tool, they killed people from Gu Jinlai to seize the inheritance Jade Slip. Their purpose...?

Not only can they vent their anger, but they can also avoid being held accountable by him Gu Jinlai.

After all, the Demon Refining Hall and the Heavenly Grass Pavilion, who had bullied him in the past, had already paid the price with their lives for what they had done. How could Lin Xiao not be afraid?

"I see."

Tan Qingquan's expression gradually turned cold. "You haven't told anyone else about this, have you?"

"No."

Lin Xiao immediately said, "I swear to God, I have not told anyone else about this matter except to the elders."

"Good."

Tan Qingquan nodded. "I will personally investigate this matter. If what you say is true... don't worry, Qin Li and Dongfang Xue cannot shake your position, and the Lin family will soon receive a huge compensation."

"We would never dare to deceive the elders."

Lin Xiao bowed and said.

"You can go down now."

Tan Qingquan waved his hand.

After Lin Xiao left, he immediately summoned one of his disciples and instructed him to send a message to the sect's senior disciple to investigate the veracity of the news.

On the other side, Lin Xiao, who had just left the courtyard, once again showed resentment in his eyes.

However, he quickly suppressed these feelings.

"It's not that there's no hope at all. The reason I didn't tell the sect leader this news, but instead told Elder Tan, is because their strengths are somewhat evenly matched."

A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

The forces are evenly matched...

Tan Qingquan will not suffer any loss if he does not defeat Gu Jinlai.

If he were to be fortunate enough to defeat Gu Jinlai, at least his position as vice sect leader would be secure and guaranteed.

In the best-case scenario, Tan Qingquan and Gu Jinlai fight to the death...

In the courtyard.

Gu Jinlai, a Swordsmanship has been practiced.

This Swordsmanship technique is not of a high level, but it is still very powerful and expansive, full of the fierce aura of military formation swordsmanship.

After practicing for a while, his swordsmanship suddenly changed, seemingly becoming more refined and profound, and his movements were full of clarity and smoothness.

"The Breaking Army Sword Technique is now complete."

Gu Jinlai the sphere of light surrounding the small consciousness figure.

This is the third green-level sword technique that he has mastered during this period.

The reason he practiced these Core Forming Formation and Spirit Refining level sword techniques was to be able to understand all the variations of sword techniques and then use this seemingly tedious method to comprehend the profound mysteries of the Transcendent Realm.

And the effect...

Very significant.

He felt increasingly confident in his control over the power.

The realm of perfection is not far off.

Once he reaches the Transcendent Realm, given the commonalities between his Heavenly Monarch Realm and the realm of intent, he might be able to quickly comprehend the intent.

At that time, there will be no need to worry about being helpless against flying sword attacks when there are no close-in weapon systems available.

"Um!?"

At that moment, he seemed to sense something.

"Now that the Silver Swordsman has arrived, why not show himself?"

"As expected, nothing could hide it from the Ancient Heavenly Lord."

A figure stepped out from the front.

It was none other than Chi Ying, the Silver Swordsman of Xuzhen Tower, whom they had not seen for over a year.

"Gu Tianjun has been extremely busy lately... and his status has changed three times a day, but... he probably hasn't forgotten his identity as the owner of the Xuzhen Tower."

Chi Ying smiled slightly.

"Nature."

Gu Jinlai, what comes to mind? "The annual mandatory task has been assigned?"

"Exactly."

As Chi Ying spoke, he took out a scroll. "Search for a Nascent Spirit Transformation named Xuan Tianzun. Although the target is somewhat dangerous, you can be in charge of the search. I wonder if Gu Tianjun is still willing to take on this task."
