Black Tortoise

Sanqing Temple.

The strongest force in Qian Tian.

An existence that even the royal family fears greatly.

A single divine weapon can establish a top-tier power.

But...

There are two divine weapons in the Sanqing Hall.

Sword of the World, Heart of the Stars.

The most crucial point is...

Back then, when the four great terrestrial immortals besieged and killed the Heavenly Emperor, only two survived.

One is Abyss Lord Lin Yuan, who disappeared without a trace after the battle to besiege the Heavenly Emperor, and is suspected of perishing.

Another...

That is the True Person of No Beginning.

With the death of the Heavenly Emperor, he truly became the number one expert in the world.

Similarly, he is also the only true immortal on land in this world.

Regardless of whether the Lord of the Abyss is still alive, even if he were still alive, he could not shake the position of the Great True Person as the number one person in the world.

After all, during the most glorious period a hundred years ago, Wushi True Person was the second most powerful expert after Tianji Dijun.

No!

Before the Heavenly Emperor appeared out of nowhere, the Beginningless True Person was already the number one person in the world.

The Heavenly Emperor only briefly held the position of the world's number one for a little over a decade.

Throughout his life, except for a very short period of time, Wushi True Person was always the number one master in the world, even though he was over three hundred years old.

The Sanqing Holy Temple, which he led, was the number one sect in the world from beginning to end.

No one knows what terrifying existence is hidden within this behemoth that has reigned supreme in the world for hundreds of years, or how many top masters it has nurtured.

"The royal family has long exhausted all its tricks, and now the last trump card of the Qian Tian world is about to be revealed... Soon, the true strength of the Qian Tian cultivation world will be clearly exposed to the Demonic Beasts..."

Gu Jinlai, this intelligence has been set aside.

They turned their attention back to the dozen or so design drawings in front of them.

Long before Gu Jinlai went to the Aries Star Palace, he discussed the design of a small void warship with Zhang Lihuo, Si Tianyan, Guan Xingyun and others, as well as the feasibility of letting ordinary people pilot the void warship.

After three months of research, and with the support of material and design data from the Aries constellation throughout Gu Jinlai, he now has more than a dozen design drawings that are equivalent to the wisdom of dozens of celestial masters in front of him.

The dozen or so design drawings mainly revolve around three directions given by Gu Jinlai.

That is, a small-scale combat void warship.

Large-scale combat platform.

As well as...

Large-scale war armor crafted in the style of the Colossus.

They examined each one from Gu Jinlai and quickly selected six of them.

"The Heavenly Sword Missile, the Mystic Maiden Fighter, and the Azure Phoenix Mothership can all be equipped with nuclear fusion engines as their power source. Currently, the biggest factor restricting the development of nuclear fusion engines is the extraction of trace elements from the in-game currency. And in-game currency... is extremely expensive. One hundred units of in-game currency are equivalent to one thousand units of Immortal Refined Gold."

This Gu Jinlai.

Their world's technology is insufficient to extract enough nuclear materials.

Of course, the Celestial Masters can forcibly purify enough nuclear raw materials through spiritual communication, but because it involves extremely delicate operations, it requires a high level of "spiritual awareness" from the Celestial Masters, and the efficiency will be correspondingly slow.

Just as Ziyang, the spirit of the Aries Star Palace, said, without any external assistance, it would take an ordinary Celestial Master ten to fifteen years to refine a batch of nuclear raw materials.

However, what Ziyang didn't know was that there were substitutes for this trace element in many places.

In particular, the price of alternatives...

It is approximately equal to nothing.

"These designs have perfectly solved the power problem of the Xuan Nu fighter jet and the Qing Luan mothership. Next, we only need to supplement the weapon systems, detection systems and operating systems of these war machines. However, although it is only a part completed, I can at least give an explanation to Blue Star. I won't be at a loss for words when others ask me what difficulties I have or how the progress is."

The gazes of people from Gu Jinlai the present scrutinized the several drawings, and finally took one out.

"Code name: Black Bird."

This is the most promising war machine among all the designs that will be realized in the near future.

This fighter jet...

Let's say it's a fighter jet.

This is a fighter jet that combines advanced and outdated features.

It is considered advanced because this fighter jet is equipped with a nuclear fusion engine, whose power far surpasses that of any other fighter jet on the market.

Its maximum speed can reach six times the speed of sound.

Yes!

It's even faster than the real Xuan Nu fighter jet.

This is not because of any new technological breakthroughs, but simply because they have access to better materials and can withstand greater thrust.

That's all.

And six times the speed of sound...

It surpassed the flying swords of all the Primordial Spirit True Lord.

Like Huo Yuqing, the Sparrow Sword Immortal who died at the hands of Gu Jinlai, her Spirit Sparrow Sword and Spirit Sparrow Soaring Sword Control Technique were known for their speed and unpredictability, but her flying sword's burst speed was less than two thousand meters per second.

That is, less than six times the speed of sound.

People like Lu Zhanxian only have a sword speed of about five times the speed of sound.

If it were Xin Tianqi, Long Xiangtian, or others, the ratio would be four to five times.

At the next level, those Nascent Primordial Spirit True Lord from places like Lizhou and the Twelve Islands of the East Sea, who lack Celestial Person inheritance and do not possess top-grade spiritual swords, typically fly at speeds between three and four times the speed of sound, rarely exceeding four times the speed of flight.

The Xuan Bird fighter jet, with its speed, could easily leave them completely out of sight.

"The Xuan Nu fighter jet was originally equipped with hypersonic missiles, but unfortunately, I haven't mastered this missile technology yet. Using the Tianjian missile feels a bit uneconomical... Therefore, the next task is to optimize and tackle the close-in weapon system."

He pondered these designs from Gu Jinlai, memorized them, and then went out the door to the military workshop "next to" him.

Inside the military workshop, Zhang Lihuo and his group were gathered in front of a huge machine tool, studying something.

When he saw Gu Jinlai, Zhang Lihuo put down what he was doing and came forward to greet him, "Supreme Elder."

The man from Gu Jinlai glanced at the machine tools and said with a smile, "Looks like the bullet production line problem is solved?"

"Yes, once this production line is completed, it will greatly free up our manpower for bullet production."

As Zhang Lihuo spoke, he immediately added, "In addition, according to the requirements of the Supreme Elder, we skipped the howitzer production line and went directly to the Sharp Sword Heavy Cannon production line project. It is now nearing completion. Once this production line is established, the production efficiency of the Sharp Sword Heavy Cannon will be reduced to one cannon per week. In addition to ordinary manpower, only one Celestial Master is needed to fill in any gaps. Give us another six months, and the heavy cannon production line and the shell production line will be perfected. At that time, we will be able to produce ninety-eight Sharp Sword Heavy Cannons and eight thousand shells per month when we are at full capacity."

After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something, "This is based on the number of our current Celestial Masters. In this month, almost every day, Celestial Masters have come to join us. Our number of Celestial Masters has already exceeded sixty. If the number of Celestial Masters doubles again, our production efficiency will also increase significantly."

"Good."

Gu Jinlai nodded.

Although the caliber of the Sharp Sword Heavy Cannon is relatively small, its power is already quite astonishing.

Under such overwhelming bombardment, even the most powerful Demonic Beasts couldn't withstand it.

This is extremely important for Lingxiao City, which has already made its mark.

"The main purpose of heavy artillery is to deal with great Demonic Beasts, but our opponents include not only great Demonic Beasts, but also Primordial Spirit True Lord. Primordial Spirit True Lord are almost a completely different system compared to high-ranking great Demonic Beasts."

Gu Jinlai, he took out a blueprint. "Next, I want you to allocate half of your manpower to produce and manufacture eight Xuan Bird fighter jets as quickly as possible."

"To manufacture the Black Bird fighter jet now?"

Zhang Lihuo was also involved in this design, and he was very clear about the fighter jet's performance. "The construction of this fighter jet is extremely complex. It would be very difficult to complete the Spirit Harmony in a short period of time! Even if several of us Grand Masters personally took charge, it would take two years to produce just one."

"What if you're not needed to be in charge of the engine?"

"Not responsible for the engine part?"

Zhang Lihuo was taken aback, then said, "Three months is enough. Once you're proficient, you can reduce the time to less than two months."

"Alright, I will set up an array next, called the Myriad Spirits Array. This array can effectively increase the spiritual affinity between the Celestial Master and the refined items. Conservatively speaking, the increase rate is more than six times. In this way, the eight Xuan Bird fighter jets should be ready in two or three months."

"The Myriad Spirits Formation!?"

Zhang Lihuo was taken aback by what Gu Jinlai said, then his pupils shrank dramatically. "The Myriad Spirits Array that increases the efficiency of shared spirits!?"

"Good."

Gu Jinlai a slight nod.

Upon hearing this acknowledgment from Gu Jinlai, Zhang Lihuo's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"The Myriad Spirits Formation! The Myriad Spirits Formation! The Supreme Elder can actually set up the Myriad Spirits Formation..."

His unusual behavior was noticed by Guan Xingyun and Zhang Yukun, who were not far away.

When they heard Zhang Lihuo's outburst, they were equally stunned. "The Myriad Spirits Formation... The Heavenly Lord... can set up the Myriad Spirits Formation!?"

The two Grand Masters, who Gu Jinlai, were somewhat puzzled.

Not only him, but all the other celestial masters were the same.

Their level doesn't seem to be able to access such a hidden existence as the Myriad Spirits Array.

It took Zhang Lihuo a while to calm himself down. He looked at Gu Jinlai with an expression that was filled with barely suppressed fervor. "The Myriad Spirits Array... To set up the Myriad Spirits Array, one must come into contact with the true spirit realm... Supreme Elder... You... have already reached this point!?"

Guan Xingyun and Zhang Yukun also looked at Gu Jinlai with excitement, their eyes filled with anticipation and longing.

Upon hearing Zhang Lihuo's question, Gu Jinlai suddenly realized.

No wonder the three of them were so distraught.

Contact with the real spirit world.

This is the final step on the path to becoming a Heavenly Emperor.

It's come to this...

They will then be qualified to explore the real spirit world, and even to invoke it.

Once he reaches that realm, the greatest glory of the Celestial Masters sect will be reborn in him—the Creator.

Thinking of this, Gu Jinlai remained calm.

He looked at Zhang Lihuo, Guan Xingyun, and Zhang Yukun, who were gazing at him with expressions of anticipation, trepidation, worry, and longing, and finally nodded solemnly.

"I have indeed ventured into this area."

Gu Jinlai, it seems that to increase the credibility of these words, a supplement that is not exactly a lie was added, "This is also the reason why the Aries constellation was willing to descend upon Qiantian again after several years for my sake."
