Martial Dao Mastery Realm

"Every civilization that has developed over a long period of time must have its own unique wonders."

He recalled his encounters with the Heavenly Sword Gu Jinlai.

If he were to take such a divine weapon to Blue Star, destroying cities and nations would be a piece of cake.

After all...

At that time, Xuan Tianzun attacked him from two or three miles away, and his spiritual Sword Qi still severely damaged his True Spirit.

Based on this estimate, the effective killing range of this spiritual Sword Qi is over 1,500 meters.

Furthermore, when Xuan Tianzun drew his sword, the Sword Qi energy surged forth in hundreds of arcs.

This was before he had even mastered the divine sword.

If you can fully master...

Its power increases exponentially.

The most terrifying thing is that this kind of damage that directly obliterates the soul ignores material barriers and cannot be detected by Blue Star's technology.

The fear brought by the unknown is enough to easily dismantle any nation or even the order of civilization.

"If it were a thousand years ago, the Blue Star civilization might not have been able to defeat the Celestial Master civilization, but as for now..."

He pondered for a moment, reflecting on the Gu Jinlai.

I can't guarantee that either.

With its agility, the Primordial Spirit True Lord is comparable to the most advanced fighter jet, and it doesn't even need an airport; it's a fighter jet that appears and disappears unpredictably.

The Celestial Person Being, by controlling the power of Heaven and Earth, can suppress opponents with the power of Heaven and Earth, and its destructive power is even greater than that of True Lord.

Not to mention those who have cultivated sacred bodies, and those who have withstood tens of thousands of degrees of lightning tribulation and are considered earth immortals, human immortals, or half-immortals.

Such beings...

As long as you are not directly hit by a nuclear bomb and happen to be at the center of the explosion, even if you are within the range of a nuclear blast, you can remain calm and safe.

For someone of that caliber, witnessing a nuclear bomb descend and then avoiding the blast is not a difficult task.

"Immortal heroes, immortal heroes, although they have the word 'hero' in their name, they gradually move away from the realm of heroes starting from the Spirit Refining Realm, and when they reach the Celestial Person Realm, they completely enter the realm of immortals."

Gu Jinlai, I have felt a deep sense of emotion.

I wonder when he will truly reach that level.

Lingxiao City.

Less than half a month after I left, nothing major happened in the four cities.

The neighboring Purgatory Sect and Cold Moon Sect are at peace with each other.

Upon Gu Jinlai, Gu Jinlai immediately received good news from Gu Junlei.

He rushed to Akiyama immediately, translated the signal, and compiled it into a missile design diagram.

"It finally arrived."

With a smile, Gu Jinlai immediately replied with a message: "Thank you for the missile from our friends on Blue Star."

They seem to be online right now.

Gu Jinlai could finish reading the information, a message came back. "You're welcome. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. Remember to send your progress and questions along with your message."

Looking at this message, I didn't reply, and focused my attention on the design drawings.

Result...

His smile froze slightly.

The drawings are still very rough.

"Can you build it?"

He looked at the documents, which were mostly glossed over, especially the engine section, which looked like it was just a picture found online and lacked a lot of accurate data.

"They... have way too much faith in me, don't they?"

Gu Jinlai muttered something under his breath.

He examined the materials carefully, not letting any detail slip by.

Ultimately, he felt it would be easier to directly communicate with the spirit and let the missile grow as he wanted.

"Judging by the time, it has been more than a year since the Demon Realm Rift in Akiyama opened. It should open again in the next few months."

Thinking Gu Jinlai the last time when there weren't enough molds to share the spirit, resulting in a huge waste of essence and spiritual energy, Gu Jinlai immediately summoned Gu Junlei and pushed over a dozen retranslated design drawings on his shoulders. "Build! Build as much as you can!"

"These..."

Gu Junlei flipped through the design drawings, calculating the feasibility of casting these sophisticated molds.

"Let's make thirty... fifty of them first."

The Gu Jinlai, "It is best to complete it within three months."

The Sky Arrow missile has a maximum speed of six times the speed of sound. Perhaps one or two missiles could be intercepted by the flying sword of Spirit Transformation cultivator, but if more than a dozen are launched at once, no Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivator can withstand them.

Even...

Even the Primordial Spirit True Lord might be able to put up a fight.

"Clear."

Gu Junlei nodded, then said, "However, the military workshop is currently very busy with tasks such as bullets, thunderbolts, close-in weapon systems, howitzers, shells, radar, and so on. Many items have already been assigned... Ancestor, do you think we should adjust the priorities? Or perhaps summon more craftsmen?"

"More artisans."

The artisans from Yuanhua City, Sunset City, Lingxiao City, and Changjun City are all in several military workshops.

If we need to recruit more craftsmen...

We'll have to target the surrounding cities.

Among the surrounding cities, Baihe City, which is similar in size to Changjun City, undoubtedly has the largest number of craftsmen.

Considering that he was currently maintaining a superficial alliance with the Purgatory Sect, he immediately said, "I will send people to recruit from the surrounding areas."

He paused, letting his mind process the information. "The production of radar, howitzers, artillery shells, and Thunder and Thunder bullets can be put on hold for now. Prioritize the production of close-in weapon systems, close-in weapon system bullets, and Sky Arrow missiles."

"Heavenly Sword?"

Looking at the blueprints in his hand, Gu Junlei exclaimed in surprise, "This is... a strangely shaped flying sword? Is the Ancestor preparing to forge a flying sword?"

"Flying sword..."

Thinking about the characteristics of missiles from Gu Jinlai, it seems there's no problem, so he immediately said, "Let's just think of them as flying swords."

"I will not disappoint the ancestor."

Gu Junlei immediately made a solemn promise.

After inspecting the military workshop, Gu Jinlai returned to Lingxiao City.

As they returned to their courtyard, they heard a commotion of cheers and applause.

In a martial arts arena, Jiang Chongshan and Gu Qingmei were seen sparring.

Although Jiang Chongshan did not use excessive power, every move he made contained a natural and profound mystery, easily defeating Gu Qingmei, who was superior to him in both strength and speed.

Not only Gu Qingmei, but also Gu Yunxin and Gu Xiliu joined the battle. The three demon warriors with High-ranking Demonic Beast bodies still couldn't even touch the hem of Jiang Chongshan's clothes.

The combination of bulkiness and agility is perfectly displayed in the four-person room.

After a short while of competition, someone seemed to realize that Gu Jinlai had arrived, and immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Ancestor!"

"The Ancestor has arrived."

"Disciple Gu Mingfeng pays respects to the Ancestor."

In an instant, the members of the Gu Clan all bowed in greeting.

Even Gu Qingmei, Gu Yunxin, and Gu Xiliu stopped their fight with Jiang Chongshan and stepped forward to greet him, saying, "Ancestor."

Gu Jinlai nodded to them, then turned to Jiang Chongshan and said with a smile, "Star King, you're in high spirits."

"During this time, we went out to hunt Demonic Beasts together. When we were fighting, I noticed that everyone's swordsmanship and combat skills seemed a bit rusty. So, in my spare time, I would pull them aside for a sparring match."

Jiang Chongshan said with a smile.

Competition...

It was less of a competition and more of a mentorship.

Jiang Chongshan, a peak Spirit Refining and Martial Arts Transformation expert, gave guidance to Gu Qingmei, Gu Yunxin, and Gu Xiliu, who were just novices who had only reached the Organ Refining Blood Changing cultivation level two years ago.

"Star King is very kind."

Gu Jinlai.

During this period, he also listened to Gu Yunxin's report.

This Star King truly lived up to his words, dedicating himself wholeheartedly to slaying Demonic Beasts, mingling with many Gu Clan demon gods and warriors, and never putting on airs as a prince of the Great Qian Dynasty.

"Judging from the Star King's effortless yet weightless movements... he must have been immersed in the realm of martial arts mastery for many years, right?"

"While I was cultivating my mind, I focused on comprehending the profound mysteries of the Transcendent Realm, and before I knew it, I had broken through. It has been twenty-two years since then."

Jiang Chongshan said.

Twenty-two years ago.

Repose.

A Gu Jinlai calculation reveals that this Star King has been cultivating his spirit for at least twenty years.

"Gu Tianjun has been diligently practicing various sword techniques lately, perhaps hoping to gain a deeper understanding and glimpse the wonders of the ultimate realm? If Gu Tianjun doesn't mind, how about we have a sword match? Just a swordsmanship contest."

Jiang Chongshan invited him with a smile.

To be able to directly spar with a master of martial arts at the pinnacle of skill...

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Star King."

Gu Jinlai, it has never been rejected.

At that moment, everyone in the room dispersed.

Gu Jinlai, he never used his own heavy sword, but instead chose an ordinary black steel sword.

The two quickly started fighting.

After exchanging blows for a while, Jiang Chongshan exclaimed in admiration, "Gu Tianjun is truly a genius. He possesses so many sword techniques, and without exception, he has mastered them all to the point of perfection. It is unbelievable. With such a foundation, if he could reach the Transcendent Realm, it would be as if ten thousand swords returned to their origin. Ordinary martial arts Transcendent Realm practitioners would definitely be his match."

As he spoke, his swordsmanship became even more unpredictable, as if he were doing it effortlessly.

Gu Jinlai clearly felt that his swordsmanship was being suppressed by him. Even though he kept changing his sword moves, he was always restrained and unable to perform well.

"I have read through many ancient books, including some royal secrets. According to the records, the 'realm of transformation' actually refers to a feeling."

As Jiang Chongshan spoke, he suddenly thrust out his sword.

But this stab...

It seems to make no sense.

"Like this, when I thrust my sword out, the effect is not obvious, but my body can stretch better after the thrust, Qi and Blood in my body can flow more smoothly..."

Jiang Chongshan turned around abruptly, his swordsmanship was unorthodox, yet it gave people an extremely sharp feeling, forcing Gu Jinlai to swing his sword back in defense.

"Feel..."

Gu Jinlai, swordsmanship has reached perfection, and the various variations between sword techniques can be executed with ease, but...

But something was always missing.

Hearing Jiang Chongshan mention the vague concept of "feeling," he vaguely realized something but couldn't quite grasp it.

"Feeling is a very mysterious thing, like... stretching. Yes, stretching. Why do people raise their hands when they stretch? It's because 'feeling' tells them that this is the most comfortable posture. Such a posture can even be learned without a teacher, without any instruction. Even a baby still in the womb can learn it... It's the body that is guiding it."

"Body guidance..."

Concepts that had been vague and unclear Gu Jinlai suddenly became clear.

The state of perfection is a feeling.

A feeling of harmony between oneself and swordsmanship.

When a practitioner treats the sword and swordsmanship as part of their own body, extending them with the most comfortable and unobstructed feeling, this is the realm of mastery.

Swordsmanship, Gu Jinlai, suddenly changed once this point was grasped.

He had already reached the edge of entering a state of perfection, and at this moment, he gained enlightenment...

The concepts of man and sword are no longer distinguishable.

This is true unity of man and sword.

The execution of swordsmanship and sword techniques is like breathing, blood circulation, heartbeat, and cell germination—it is incorporated into one's own system.

Naturally.

This...

"A state of perfection!"

From Gu Jinlai, they have murmured to themselves.

With amazement in his eyes, Jiang Chongshan immediately stepped back, cupped his hands in a smile, and said, "Congratulations, Lord Gu, on your mastery of martial arts."
