Grand Elder

"Supreme Elder."

There have been some surprises Gu Jinlai.

The several Celestial Masters beside Zhang Lihuo opened their mouths, as if to say something.

But then they seemed to realize something and fell silent.

Given the current predicament of the Great Sun Heavenly Sect, if it does not find a way to survive and change its circumstances, it will soon follow in the footsteps of the two Heavenly Master sects that have already been wiped out by Demonic Beasts.

Of course, they could choose to fully pledge allegiance to the Great Qian imperial family.

After all, the Great Qian royal family has always been worried that the Demonic Beasts of Demonic Spirit is just a strategy.

Once the Celestial Master system is truly destroyed and the Celestial Master lineage is completely severed, they will sweep across the world in the form of Demonic Spirits. How will cultivators resist them then?

Although cultivators who have Spirit Refining can still harm Demonic Spirit, the harm is negligible.

Let alone Primordial Spirit True Lord, even Celestial Person Being as powerful as him would be in a precarious situation when facing a medium-sized Demonic Spirit.

Under certain circumstances, small Demonic Spirit can absorb the spiritual energy of Celestial Person beings until they die.

Therefore, the Great Qian imperial family always attached great importance to the training of celestial masters.

However, their training methods differed from those of other schools; instead, they trained celestial masters as if they were training an army.

If the Great Sun Heavenly Sect truly chooses to serve the Great Qian imperial family, they might be able to save their lives, but the Great Sun Heavenly Sect would be no different from existing in name only.

The Great Sun Ninefold Refinement Visualization Method, which has been passed down from the Great Sun Heavenly Sect, has produced a Heavenly Lord. It would be the best solution for them to turn to it and submit.

Moreover, this Heavenly Emperor himself possessed a considerable territory, ruling over five cities and dozens of counties, and managing a population of tens of millions, making him a true regional overlord.

In this way, their allegiance to the other side would not be considered a disgrace to the Great Sun Heavenly Sect.

"The entire Great Sun Heavenly Sect is willing to honor the Heavenly Lord as the Supreme Elder, serving him faithfully and at his beck and call."

Zhang Lihuo repeated.

Having witnessed the magnificent sun that Gu Jinlai, he realized that his opponent's mastery of this Cultivation Method far surpassed his own.

Perhaps...

They have already cultivated to the point of perfecting the seventh, eighth, or even ninth refinement.

Unlike him, who has been stuck at the sixth level of refinement, struggling to break through.

There is no order of precedence in learning; those who are accomplished are teachers.

Given the difficult circumstances of the Great Sun Heavenly Sect and the fact that Gu Jinlai was already inclined to serve them, appointing Gu Jinlai as the Supreme Elder and placing the sect's hopes on him was undoubtedly the best choice.

"The Supreme Elder of the Great Sun Heavenly Sect..."

A little reflection from Gu Jinlai.

What consequences would it bring to become a Supreme Elder of the Great Sun Heaven Sect?

Demonic Beasts are chasing them.

A large number of Demonic Beasts were chasing after them.

Many Demonic Beasts viewed the Celestial Master as a major threat. As a result, some Demonic Beasts even evolved special abilities that allowed them to sense the spiritual fluctuations emanating from the Celestial Master from afar, and then summon Demonic Beasts to surround and kill him.

Gu Jinlai he led demon warriors out to hunt Demonic Beasts, he encountered Demonic Beasts far more frequently than other demon hunters, which was actually due to his status as a celestial master.

When he took over the Great Sun Heavenly Sect, the number of Demonic Beasts that came to Lingxiao City upon hearing the news was definitely much higher.

But...

This is a good thing.

Gu Jinlai, there has been a persistent worry about not having enough Demonic Beasts Essence Blood to cultivate batches of demon warriors and strengthen the power of Lingxiao City. Some have even considered venturing deep into the Yunqi Mountains to exterminate Demonic Beasts as a form of military training.

If these Demonic Beasts were to infiltrate Lingxiao City, it would only strengthen his demon warrior force.

Of course, this is on the premise that he can withstand the siege of these Demonic Beasts, or even the great Demonic Beasts.

Throughout the past century, Demonic Beasts have been sieges and exterminations against Celestial Masters. For every Celestial Master, a powerful Demonic Beasts would be dispatched, and for every Grand Celestial Master, a mid-level Demonic Beasts would be dispatched.

If it's the Heavenly Emperor...

Let alone high-ranking Demonic Beasts, even the Demonic Beasts King would cross the border to attack if conditions allowed.

Gu Jinlai, he has never been attacked or killed by a powerful Demonic Beasts or Demonic Beasts king, which suggests that his status as a Heavenly Ruler is somewhat questionable.

Although it has condensed True Spirit, its spiritual strength is only comparable to that of a newly promoted Grand Celestial Master.

It's estimated that the Demonic Beasts don't consider him as a threat as Zhang Lihuo, the top Grand Master of the Great Sun Heavenly Sect.

"I can agree to accept your appointment as Supreme Elder. However, I am not a Heavenly Lord cultivated by the Great Sun Heavenly Sect. Whether the Great Sun Heavenly Sect is worthy of my dedication as Supreme Elder, and even the opportunity to impart to them the new method of condensing the Great Sun Core, depends on your performance."

This Gu Jinlai.

The core of the Great Sun!?

Zhang Lihuo was shocked.

Gu Jinlai, people have been willing to pass on their knowledge!

He clearly felt the core of the Great Sun that had just been interpreted from Gu Jinlai, and the power derived from it was pure and intense.

If he could optimize the core of the Great Sun to that extent, he would only need to refine his own spirituality again, and his hope of becoming a Heavenly Lord would greatly increase.

His disciples at the Celestial Master level will also naturally achieve the status of Grand Celestial Master.

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Great Sun Heavenly Sect solemnly bowed and said, "I will certainly not disappoint the Supreme Elder."

"Now that you have pledged allegiance to me, you should first practice the Great Sun Demon God Body Refining Technique to replenish the essence and energy you have lost in the years of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation."

Gu Jinlai, he glanced at the group of people.

Among these people, the oldest, Zhang Lihuo, is probably not even seventy years old, but they all look old with white hair.

The two of them standing together looked like they belonged to different eras.

After all, thanks to his ability to cultivate qi into elixir, he is seventy-one years old this year, but he looks like a man in his mid-thirties. His appearance alone is far superior to that of the celestial masters in front of him.

"Thank you for bestowing the Dharma upon me, Elder."

Zhang Lihuo, Zhang Yukun, and several other Grand Masters of the Great Sun Heaven Sect bowed in unison.

They had already learned the profound mysteries of the Great Sun Demon God's Body Refining Method from Master Zhou.

Those who have mastered the basics of this Cultivation Method, such as Master Zhou, clearly have rosy complexions, and their appearance is vastly different from when they first joined Gu Jinlai.

"No need to thank me. While cultivating the Great Sun Demon God Body Refining Method, do not slack off on gunpowder refining. Soon I will have someone teach you how to refine bullets and shells. Once you have demonstrated your abilities and value, I will grant you the new Great Sun Ninefold Refinement Visualization Method."

Gu Jinlai, he paused, then said, "Let's take the completion of ten howitzers as the dividing line."

The craftsmanship of the howitzer is not very advanced; it just requires fine polishing in many places.

These parts that require meticulous refinement need the intervention of the right timing.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, a master craftsman can complete the polishing of a howitzer in just over half a year.

If they are willing to spend their own money to buy Yuanling Pills, this time can be greatly shortened.

"Ten howitzers?"

Although Zhang Lihuo didn't know what a howitzer was, he had made a clear promise from Gu Jinlai. He was determined to complete this goal as soon as possible, even if it meant working day and night, so as to obtain the new Great Sun Ninefold Refinement Visualization Method and reshape the Great Sun Core.

"Please rest assured, Elder, I will not let you down."

Zhang Lihuo cupped his hands in greeting.

Finally, he pleaded again, "Elder, our Great Sun Heavenly Sect still has several hundred Heavenly Master apprentices..."

"You can bring them all to Lingxiao City, and I will designate a place as the Great Sun Heavenly Sect's headquarters."

The joy of life has been felt Gu Jinlai.

At that time, the apprentices of the Celestial Master were all top-notch craftsmen.

"Thank you, Grand Elder. The Grand Elder has shown us such great kindness. The Grand Elder will repay you wholeheartedly."

As Zhang Lihuo spoke, he waved his hand.

A Daoist priest took out a box about one meter square.

As he opened the box, twelve oval mirrors, each a foot in size, were revealed inside.

"Elder, this is a gift from our Great Sun Heavenly Sect to you."

Zhang Li Fire Path.

"This is..."

Gu Jinlai immediately saw the connection between the twelve oval mirrors. Judging from the spiritual fluctuations on them, they were at least Spirit Artifacts.

"This is a set of Thousand-Mile Light and Shadow Mirrors crafted by our Great Sun Heaven Sect. Even though the twelve mirrors are thousands of miles apart, they can still reflect each other's images. Whether used for communication, transmission of Cultivation Method, or exchange of information, they are twice as effective with half the effort."

Zhang Lihuo introduced.

"Oh?"

Gu Jinlai learning a little about it, I quickly realized that the function of these twelve oval-shaped treasure mirrors was video calling.

Although there are True Lord Primordial Spirit in the world today who can fly on swords, True Lord would be exhausted to death if they were to fly over a thousand miles.

In this context, the value of the twelve-sided mirror, which enables video chat and real-time communication, is self-evident.

With these twelve precious mirrors, he could immediately perceive any changes in the five cities he had controlled Gu Jinlai.

"You've put your heart into this."

"The Supreme Elder is already the most esteemed figure in our Great Sun Heavenly Sect, so we should present these top-tier Spirit Artifact to him immediately."

Zhang Lihuo said with some regret, "In fact, our Great Sun Heavenly Sect built a Radiant Platform back then. This treasure could accurately lock onto the user's spiritual fluctuations and use it as a relay to maintain the operation of 108 Thousand-Mile Light and Shadow Mirrors. Some intelligence transmissions of the Great Qian royal family also had to be done through our Great Sun Heavenly Sect. Unfortunately, now... the Radiant Platform has been destroyed. Even if hundreds of Heavenly Masters work together, it will take more than ten years to rebuild it."

"Radiant Platform?"

Gu Jinlai, people have heard of its performance.

Isn't this a signal base station?

His first thought was of his own observatory.

It is unknown whether the technology of the Yaoguang Observatory can be integrated into the observatory's radio telescope to improve the accuracy of the information.

If you can...

"Is there a method for refining it?"

Yes, of course.

Zhang Lihuo said, "However, we did not bring these books with us. When a group of disciples from the Great Sun Heavenly Sect arrives, they will bring all the sect's books, and the Supreme Elder can read them at his leisure."

"Good."

Gu Jinlai nodded.

If Zhang Lihuo were truly willing to open up all the scriptures of the Great Sun Heavenly Sect to him...

What harm is there in him teaching them a completely new method for refining the core of the Great Sun?

Blue Star.

Inside the observatory.

Xie Yusheng, who had just taken a few days off, returned to work to slack off.

Then I received data from the alien who called himself "Qianxing" again, which was transmitted intermittently for several hours.

Thinking that he had nothing better to do, he started looking through the documents.

After watching for a moment, he couldn't help but be somewhat taken aback.

"Sky Sword missile? It's been made?"
