Spirit Artifact

Spirit Transformation.

Although the goal is to find a Spirit Transformation, but...

"This kind of task should not be assigned to a mere Bronze Sword Envoy like me. Given my status as a Bronze Sword Envoy, I should at most accept tasks related to Core Forming Formation cultivators. Spirit Transformation... are far beyond my capabilities."

The Gu Jinlai, is neither hurried nor slow.

Now he has enough confidence to bargain with this silver swordsman.

Chi Ying knew that what Gu Jinlai said was true, and smiled, "With Gu Tianjun's noble status, the Bronze Sword Envoy is completely unworthy of your status. I will report the news to the higher-ups, who intend to promote Gu Tianjun to Silver Sword Envoy. This task is the promotion assessment."

"I think being a bronze swordsman is a good identity."

This Gu Jinlai.

"Is that so?"

Chi Ying said regretfully, "It seems that I won't be able to send out this message about the Aries Star Lord."

"The Lord of Aries?"

At Gu Jinlai glance, no one could understand it.

But then he suddenly realized something, and his pupils contracted.

"One of the twelve Creation Star Lords of the Holy Realm a thousand years ago, the Aries Star Lord!?"

"Exactly."

Chi Ying smiled slightly.

"It's actually the Lord of Aries!"

Before communicating with Zong Heng, Qiu Shuiyue, and others, Gu Jinlai had no idea who this Aries Star Lord was.

After learning about the Celestial Master's glorious history, Gu Jinlai have heard of this legendary figure.

The Holy Domain, officially known as the Celestial Master's Holy Domain.

It was the largest holy site of the Celestial Masters a thousand years ago, where countless Celestial Masters gathered.

Stargate!

Floating islands!

Tianlong!

The Twelve Ruins Beasts!

They are all miracle creations within the Sanctuary.

The reason why they were able to gather so many Celestial Masters and become a sacred place in the hearts of Celestial Masters is because the Sacred Domain is home to twelve Creators who are above the Celestial Masters.

They called themselves the Twelve Star Lords and used the Twelve Void Beasts to oppress the world.

At their peak, they commanded floating islands, dominated the skies, cleansed the earth with flames, destroyed legions with celestial dragons, devoured souls with manipulating beasts, and annihilated Celestial Person. Even the most powerful empires had to bow down before them.

Only...

Later, Heavenly Master Lineage.

The Sanctuary was destroyed.

The lineage of the Twelve Star Lords was either severed or sealed away by powerful dynasties and forces that feared the power of the Celestial Master.

Today, the Heavenly Emperor represents the end of the Celestial Masters sect.

The creator has become a myth or legend.

The method of cultivating Demonic Spirit into Void Beasts, specifically designed to counter cultivators' beast-taming abilities, has become a taboo among taboos.

"Floating islands and star gates represent the pinnacle of weapon crafting, while celestial dragons and Void Beasts represent the pinnacle of beast taming. I can understand the floating islands and celestial dragons; one is like an anti-gravity device that allows a giant island to float in the sky, and the other is about cultivating a giant dragon beast that can fly. But the star gate and Void Beast cultivation technology..."

Even this person from Blue Star Gu Jinlai could not understand it.

This is a power that science cannot achieve and that exists only in fantasy.

"Do you have the lineage of the Aries Star Lord?"

Gu Jinlai have sought this question.

"An important message."

Chi Ying paused as she spoke, "It doesn't seem unreasonable to call it a legacy."

"Search for traces of Spirit Transformation cultivators..."

Gu Jinlai sheathed his sword, saying, "I agree."

"It is my honor to fight alongside Gu Tianjun."

Chi Ying said, "I would like to congratulate Gu Tianjun on his promotion to Silver Sword Envoy in advance. You will have access to a higher level of intelligence access in the Xuzhen Tower."

"We still don't know if we can find the location of that Spirit Transformation cultivator."

Gu Jinlai, he thought of something, "Besides, given my current status, I can't leave for too long."

"Currently, the situation in Star Province is maintaining a delicate balance. After occupying their territories, the various forces are mainly focused on defense and probing. Repelling the Cold Moon Sect's probing has already proven the strength of Lingxiao City. According to our Xuzhen Tower's intelligence analysis, not to mention the distant future, Lingxiao City can rest easy for the next month."

Chi Ying paused as she spoke, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to contact Gu Tianjun at this time."

He laughed and said, "If this mission causes any mishap to Lingxiao City, I, a mere Silver Swordsman, cannot withstand the wrath of the Ancient Heavenly Lord."

"Lord Silver Swordsman is too modest. What abilities could a mere Heavenly Lord like me possess? If it weren't for the artifacts I forged by chance, I wouldn't dare to get involved in the Star Province vortex even if you gave me a hundred lives."

Gu Jinlai, they have always responded with a smile.

The two exchanged a glance, understanding each other without saying a word.

"Then, please make arrangements, Lord Gu. We need to head north of Huangzhou as soon as possible."

"Huangzhou..."

Gu Jinlai nodded.

The next day, after making a series of arrangements, Gu Jinlai left Lingxiao City and quietly headed north.

Huangzhou is located north of Star Province.

That is, Yellow Heaven Sect's territory.

The journey, spanning over a thousand miles from Gu Jinlai, passed through Starlight City, then traversed hundreds more miles to enter Huangzhou. After traveling over a thousand miles through Huangzhou, a vast expanse of watery land came into view.

North of Huangzhou lies the Milky Way.

A Demonic Beasts king, whose true form is a ferocious dragon-crocodile, dwells in the Milky Way, stirring up trouble in the river.

To this day, the entire northern part of Huangzhou has been flooded for many years, with the dikes breached and the land submerged for thousands of miles.

Strictly speaking, one-third of Huangzhou has already fallen.

Under these circumstances, Yellow Heaven Sect, who occupied Huangzhou, had no choice but to send a large number of experts to guard the north.

It is said that even Huang Tianli, another Supreme Elder of the sect, is always stationed in Yueyang City in the north.

Because of the widespread swamps, this environment is extremely unfriendly to Gu Jinlai who wear thousands of kilograms of spirit armor, carry thousands of kilograms of spirit swords, and carry a close-in weapon system mold.

In many cases, Gu Jinlai, people have had to take detours, which has greatly affected their efficiency in moving forward.

Akakage felt helpless but endured it.

"We have entered the Crocodile Dragon Marsh north of Huangzhou. Next, I will have a good talk with Gu Tianjun about this Xuan Tianzun and the search method that Tianjun needs."

Crimson Shadow Path.

Gu Jinlai nodded.

The Silver Swordsman of Xuzhen Tower organized his thoughts and said, "The origins of Xuan Tianzun are unknown. The first piece of information we can find about him is about the life-and-death competition between the disciples of Wu Tiandi, the master of the Human Immortal Palace."

He paused, then continued, "Wu Tiandi comes from the Heavenly Immortal Palace. This faction acts rather aggressively. Wu Tiandi also trains his disciples using the method of raising Gu. Xuan Tianzun is essentially the Gu King he raised among his many disciples. Therefore, we must not be careless."

"Witch's Enemy!"

Gu Jinlai, their expressions have gradually become more serious.

This is Celestial Person of the demonic path.

He ranks third among the top ten masters of the demonic path.

A terrifying existence that even the Supreme Lu Zhanxian of the Purgatory Demon Sect could not match.

"As the best disciple trained by Wu Tiandi, Xuan Tianzun's talent is beyond doubt. It is said that... he is not even thirty years old!"

"Not even thirty!?"

From Gu Jinlai, eyes widened. "Spirit Transformation!?"

"Yes."

Chi Ying sighed, "A Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivator who's not even thirty! It's true what they say, comparisons are odious."

"..."

Gu Jinlai, no one has ever known how to respond.

This, perhaps, is what genius is all about.

"As a peerless genius, Xuan Tianzun also held the belief that 'a great man is born between heaven and earth, how can he live in obscurity under others for long'. A month ago, he defected from the Immortal Palace, and Wu Tiandi secretly mobilized countless experts to hunt him down."

Chi Ying said with a hint of pride, "Because there are many Demonic Beasts around the Milky Way, the Immortal Palace has been chasing them for half a month without success. Our Xuzhen Tower is unparalleled in its ability to hide and spy, so the Immortal Palace has come to us for help."

Gu Jinlai nodded.

Although he could always see through Chi Ying's hiding place at a glance, Xu Zhen Lou's concealment method was indeed remarkable.

"That Xuan Tianzun... is also a remarkable person, hiding extremely well. Our Xuzhen Tower has been investigating for more than ten days, and we only know that he is hiding in the Crocodile Dragon Swamp. However, because Demonic Beasts and ferocious beasts roam there, we dare not enter in large numbers. In addition, the Human Immortal Palace provided some information that Xuan Tianzun stole a powerful Spirit Artifact from the Human Immortal Palace when he defected. Since it has not yet been subdued, its spirituality is amazing. Therefore, we thought of the Ancient Heavenly Lord."

Chi Ying said, "The Heavenly Lord has cultivated True Spirit and is extremely sensitive to spiritual perception. I will take the Heavenly Lord to infiltrate Crocodile Dragon Swamp, and we will surely be able to expose that Xuan Tianzun."

"Ah, Crocodile Dragon Marsh."

Gu Jinlai said, "Although it is not the land of the Milky Way, the number of Demonic Beasts dwelling in it is still countless. You really know how to choose a place for me."

Chi Ying watched as Gu Jinlai almost step by step.

He hadn't considered that at the time.

In the end, he could only bow and say, "If I can find any trace of Xuan Tianzun, I will definitely ask for credit on behalf of Gu Tianjun."

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something. "Isn't the Ancient Heavenly Lord buying up Yuanling Pills in large quantities? My Xuzhen Tower has many business channels. After the deal is done, we can directly open up the purchase of Yuanling Pills to the Ancient Heavenly Lord. No matter how much silver you have, my Xuzhen Tower can get you as many Yuanling Pills as you need."

"Oh?"

It's a sight to behold, Gu Jinlai.

This method is excellent.

If a large number of Yuanling Pills could be purchased continuously, the spirit-sharing efficiency of various tools could definitely be increased significantly.

"Then I cannot disappoint the Silver Swordsman."

Activate the True Spirit throughout Gu Jinlai.

A peculiar ripple emanated from him.

The perceptive Crimson Shadow quickly sensed something, and looked at Gu Jinlai with a hint of suppressed amazement.

To cultivate True Spirit in such a short time...

That's incredible.

Gu Jinlai, after activating the True Spirit, it was not perceived through the True Spirit, but rather directly injected into the close-in weapon system.

In an instant, the close-in weapon system quickly searched the surrounding area for targets whose divine sense standards matched those of Spirit Transformation.

Considering that Xuan Tianzun might be skilled in concealment, he compressed the search criteria to the level of "all divine thought fluctuations".

Under this level of scanning, two "targets" quickly appeared within his detection range, spanning dozens of miles.

"Let's go take a look over there."

Gu Jinlai, the gathering of True Spirit has pointed in one direction.

The two hurried off.

Result...

It was just a team of the Yellow Heaven Sect's elite troops, led by a Spirit Refining Elder, who specialized in hunting down Demonic Beasts.

The two moved away silently and quickly headed towards another target.

This target, however, was an elder from the Immortal Palace who was also searching for the whereabouts of Xuan Tianzun.

Now, Gu Jinlai switched to a different area and are continuing the search using this method.

Each time, it covers an area of dozens of miles.

This efficiency is extremely fast.

The search lasted for two days, and the two had already covered a good portion of Crocodile Dragon Marsh.

On this day, just as Gu Jinlai reactivated his True Spirit, intending to use the nearby anti-tank guns to search for targets, a...

An overwhelming sense of oppression welled up inside me.

That sense of oppression...

Like an unparalleled divine sword, its blade soaring into the sky, the mere spiritual energy it emitted seemed capable of severing his True Spirit.

His first thought was of Chi Ying's description.

Xuan Tianzun stole a powerful Spirit Artifact from the Immortal Palace; it possessed astonishing spiritual power.

He looked at the close-in weapon system...

The target was actually ten miles away.

Ten miles apart!

The spiritual energy emanating from that Spirit Artifact was almost strong enough to sever the True Spirit of a Heavenly Lord!
