Shadowbearing Sword
A shout came from the Changjun City.
"The Ancient Heavenly Lord has arrived! Quickly open the main gate! Open the main gate!"
Immediately afterwards, with the soldiers busy at work, the main gate, which was more than ten meters high and seven or eight meters wide, was opened with a loud bang.
Meanwhile, the soldiers below maintained order in the surrounding area.
Firstly, to prevent anyone from bumping into them.
Secondly, it is also for the safety of ordinary people's lives.
With the power of the mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Tyrannosaurus Rex, anyone who gets caught on it or even brushed against it will be injured, if not killed.
Gu Jinlai, a group of people rode strange beasts into the city and headed straight for the Demon Refining Hall.
Along the way, countless people turned their heads to look at the group riding the Tyrannosaurus Rex, some with longing, some with admiration, and some with a desire to be second to them.
This has been ignored throughout Gu Jinlai.
Demon Refining Hall, the hall Zhang Xiu and the city lord Zhao Yuhua, who had received the news earlier, were already waiting at the entrance with their men.
Upon seeing the arrival of Gu Jinlai and his entourage, they all stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Lord Gu Tian."
"No need for such formalities."
Gu Jinlai said something and easily jumped down from the mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yuhua glanced at it, focusing their attention on the ferocious and terrifying mechanical tyrannosaurus.
This mount itself possesses combat power comparable to that of a great Demonic Beasts, and the mechanical tyrannosaurus is further enhanced by the fact that it is equipped with two close-in weapon systems on either side...
With just the use of kite tactics, even a cultivator at the Core Forming Formation stage could rout an army of thousands.
"Is the Heaven and Earth Universe Diagram ready?"
A question has been asked Gu Jinlai.
"Everything is ready."
Zhang Xiu's spirits lifted.
He already knew of the glorious victories achieved in battles outside Baihe City Gu Jinlai.
Thousands of Demonic Beasts.
This also includes the Demon Ape Commander, who is a high-ranking Demonic Beasts!
Once this achievement is reported, the Demon Refining Hall system will be alerted.
His authority as the Lord of the Demon Refining Hall would inevitably be significantly enhanced due to the achievements of thousands of Demonic Beasts.
"Good."
Gu Jinlai said, "Let's exchange for supplies first."
He then said to Zhao Yuhua, who was waiting beside him, "My purpose in coming here is to exchange supplies at the Demon Refining Hall. You don't need to worry about me, just do your own thing."
"Yes."
Zhao Yuhua nodded, but still asked for instructions, "Representatives from some Lineage in the city have long wanted to host a banquet for you..."
"I know their purpose. As long as they don't do anything corrupt or illegal, what's theirs will be theirs. But if they don't follow the rules and laws I've set, then... they'd better be stronger than me, or else don't blame me for making my sword too sharp."
This Gu Jinlai.
"Clear."
Zhao Yuhua responded.
Having understood the attitudes of Gu Jinlai, he found it much easier to communicate with local forces.
The strongest force in the five cities right now is the Demon God's Guard, who possess a large number of killing Spirit Artifact. The Demon God's Guard, numbering over 1,100, is more than enough to easily defeat the garrison of any city. Under such circumstances, who would dare to disobey orders from Gu Jinlai?
Gu Jinlai, people have entered the Demon Refining Hall.
Here, the Heaven and Earth Universe Diagram is already in operation.
This is not the first time in Gu Jinlai we have seen a Heaven and Earth Universe Diagram.
It must be said that even those who have now cultivated to the Gu Jinlai of Heavenly Monarch cannot comprehend the existence of such a Dao artifact.
Perhaps...
Only by finding the path to cultivation in the realm of creation and stepping into this field can he glimpse the wonders and mysteries of Dao artifacts.
"These are the supplies I need."
Gu Jinlai handed Zhang Xiu a list that he had prepared in advance. "Follow the requirements marked on it."
Zhang Xiu took the list, and the first requirement on it made his brow furrow.
Goodness.
A Dao-grade battle sword!?
Immediately, he turned to Gu Jinlai with a wry smile, "Heavenly Lord, although you have killed thousands of Demonic Beasts this time, including more than a dozen great Demonic Beasts, it is still impossible to exchange these merits for Dao artifacts... I don't even know if there are any Dao artifacts available for exchange in the Heaven and Earth Universe Diagram."
"If that doesn't work, then let's use a top-grade Spirit Artifact."
Gu Jinlai, the saying has been, "Exchange a top-grade Spirit Artifact based on the characteristics I require."
"Yes."
Zhang Xiu responded and handed over his Universe Talisman.
Before long, the light shone brightly.
A wondrous phenomenon, as if created from nothingness, unfolded before the eyes of people throughout Gu Jinlai.
As the light faded, a...
Including the hilt, it was only two meters long. It was similar to the Eight-Sided Han Sword, but it was much wider. This special Spirit Artifact appeared in his field of vision.
Even...
This Spirit Artifact cannot be called a sword; rather, it resembles an enlarged ruler.
However, this ruler has sharpened edges on both sides, has a relatively small conical angle, and its tip is shaped like a sword point.
Gu Jinlai immediately took the sword.
It was two meters long, which was shorter than the sword he had used before.
But after he sensed it through his spirituality, he quickly realized something.
"Size as desired, sharpness, toughness, huh!? There's even a fourth characteristic, Thousand Pounds!?"
Gu Jinlai immediately activated his True Spirit, attaching it to the Spirit Artifact and forcibly gaining control over it.
As spiritual awareness was infused, the spirituality contained within seemed to be activated, firstly...
The sword blade has changed.
It grew from two meters to three meters, and then continued to surge to four meters, five meters, and six meters, finally stopping at eight meters.
He then activated the sharpness and toughness properties, and a cold light seemed to gleam at the edge of the sword.
Its internal structure has also changed.
Finally, he activated the "Thousand Pounds" property.
With the infusion of spiritual consciousness, the spirit sword, which originally weighed less than a thousand pounds, began to radiate light and its weight increased rapidly.
Two thousand catties, four thousand catties, six thousand catties, eight thousand catties, ten thousand catties...
"This characteristic... uses the same principle as the materials used to build the floating islands? If I had to summarize it... it's gravity! The swordsmith uses a special method to inscribe it on the blade... or perhaps the material itself generates a gravitational field after reacting with spiritual consciousness, thereby increasing the weight of the sword and allowing it to better exert the destructive power brought by its kinetic energy..."
It can be quickly distinguished Gu Jinlai.
This sword is exactly what he wanted.
"Gravity technology, maybe in the future I can use the research on this sword to develop anti-gravity technology, or even anti-gravity materials. Then, we'll have the materials to manufacture the Azure Phoenix mothership."
Gu Jinlai a while, he felt increasingly comfortable with it. "You'll probably be following me for a long time to come, so let me give you a name..."
He thought for a moment, but couldn't come up with a good name for himself.
Therefore, they had no choice but to muster their spirits and select one from the famous divine swords on Blue Star.
"Let's call it Chengying."
Cheng Ying Sword.
Looking at the nearly two-meter-long giant sword, Zhang Xiu, being extremely tactful, cupped his hands and smiled, "Congratulations, Heavenly Lord, on acquiring this great sword."
"I am very satisfied with this sword."
This Gu Jinlai.
It should be noted that as long as the characteristics are not too bad, having three characteristics is enough to be considered a top-grade Spirit Artifact.
These four characteristics almost reached the limit that Spirit Artifact could bear.
Going further up, one can also forge Spirit Artifact with five or six characteristics.
However, to inscribe so many properties, one often needs materials that inherently possess certain properties, and such materials are generally used as materials for refining Dao artifacts, and are very expensive.
Only now, with the number of Heavenly Lords becoming increasingly scarce and the Creator disappearing from the Heavenly Realm, even if there are materials containing innate characteristics, no Heavenly Lord can refine them into Dao artifacts.
To prevent these materials from sitting idle, they had to put them into the forging of Spirit Artifact, which resulted in a few top-quality Spirit Artifact containing four characteristics.
How much of my merit is left?
This Gu Jinlai.
"This top-grade Spirit Artifact consumed at least 60% more merit points than an ordinary top-grade spiritual Spirit Artifact... The remaining merit points are probably not enough to exchange for a top-grade Spirit Artifact -level armor."
"Can't redeem it anymore?"
Gu Jinlai, he frowned.
If he possessed a top-grade Spirit Artifact -level armor, he would undoubtedly have a greater advantage in future clashes with Primordial Spirit True Lord.
Given the imminent threat posed by Dragon Sparrow Manor...
"Then let's exchange for a superior-grade armor. The priority for its traits is toughness, size control, and recovery..."
Gu Jinlai, people have conveyed their requests.
Zhang Xiu quickly got to work.
Before long, a piece of armor with the properties of being tough and able to change size was obtained.
No recovery properties...
There have been some regrets Gu Jinlai.
This armor is only slightly better than his previous one.
"Let's continue exchanging items, such as the Yungang material formula and the Spirit Nourishing Pill, exchange them all."
This Gu Jinlai.
"Yes."
Zhang Xiu agreed.
Yunnan Steel.
It is a special metal similar to ebony.
It's just more common than black gold.
According to Zhang Lihuo, if you want to cast howitzers, the properties of Yunnan Steel are much better than the materials he is currently using.
Using Yunnan steel to cast gun barrels allows howitzers to have faster muzzle velocity, longer range, and longer service life.
With increased speed, power naturally increases as well.
In addition, he himself planned to lengthen the cannon barrel, increase the caliber, produce more powerful heavy cannons, and develop new armor-piercing shells. If all goes well, he might be able to blast through the immortal demon body of a high-ranking Demonic Beasts in one go.
When the time comes, a dozen or even dozens of heavy cannons will unleash a barrage of fire, and the powerful Demonic Beasts might not even have a chance to reach the city walls before being blasted to death dozens of miles away.
With the assistance of Zhang Xiu, the master of the Demon Refining Hall, the merits earned by thousands of Demonic Beasts and more than a dozen great Demonic Beasts were completely redeemed by Gu Jinlai.
Seeing that the boxes were filled with Cultivation Resources such as Spirit Nourishing Pill and Primordial Spirit Pills, Gu Jinlai seemed quite satisfied.
Although Demonic Beasts, for some reason, do not possess the same pure light as human martial artists, they have many demon god martial artists under their command. In addition, they can exchange the merits of slaying Demonic Beasts for resources through the Universe Talisman, so the benefits are still considerable.
Once the Core Forming and Celestial Master of Lingxiao City have fully consumed these two boxes of Spirit Nourishing Pill and Yuanling Pills, it is likely that there will be several more Spirit Refining True Person and a dozen or so howitzers in his jurisdiction.
Even if the Divine Sword Tournament ends and the Cold Moon Sect, Yellow Spring Sect, and even Purgatory Sect turn their attention back to Star Province and stir up trouble, Lingxiao City will still be able to handle the situation with ease.
