Grand Operation

The Demon Realm Rift in Akiyama is not very large.

The first round of openings that Gu Jinlai encountered when he first arrived in Lingxiao City caused him some trouble.

But now...

Compared to when he first became a Celestial Master, he is now standing at the finish line that countless Celestial Masters can reach in their lifetime.

No!

He has even surpassed that finish line.

After all, whether it's the crystallization of the True Spirit or touching the real spirit realm, it's all about taking another step forward in the Heavenly Monarch realm.

If we say that the Heavenly Lord is comparable to the Primordial Spirit True Lord, True Spirit crystallizes, then its significance is probably comparable to that of Celestial Person.

And the Celestial Person...

Before the emergence of divine weapons, the Celestial Person were the pinnacle of this realm.

In the same era, the number of Celestial Person would not exceed the number in the palm of one's hand.

Even now, aside from the three major divine weapon forces—the Heavenly Demon Palace, the Great Qian Imperial Family, and the Three Pure Ones Palace—and the forces associated with them, the other Celestial Person combined would not exceed five people.

This shows how difficult it is for True Spirit to crystallize.

With such a foundation, let alone the Demon Realm rift in Qiushan, he would dare to venture into even the large Demon Realm rifts in Muzhou and Tianhe.

In this situation, the opening of the Demon Realm Rift in Akiyama this time is really like an experience dungeon.

The Demonic Spirit that rushed out posed absolutely no threat to him.

And...

This is not just an experience dungeon, but an experience dungeon that is no longer keeping up with his level.

He had thought that the Demon Realm Rift would expand each time it opened, but the number of Demonic Spirit that ultimately rushed out was still unsatisfactory.

Aside from refining some of the raw material bars, he only completed the spiritual connection of the three engines.

This efficiency is becoming increasingly unsatisfactory.

Gu Jinlai the spatial fluctuations weaken and the Demon Realm rift showing signs of dissipating, he suddenly asked, "I have read a large number of classic texts related to the Demon Realm Masters sect, but none of them describe what lies beyond the rift. What is inside the rift? What would happen if we Celestial Masters ventured into it?"

"I have heard people say that during the Holy Domain era, there was an expedition against the world on the other side of the Demon Realm Rift, but there are no records left. As for our Great Sun Heavenly Sect... although we have a connection with the Holy Domain, we have never produced a Heavenly Monarch who is too powerful. We also dare not send people to explore the Demon Realm Rift. When faced with the Demonic Spirit emerging from the Demon Realm Rift, we mainly defend."

Si Tianyan explained.

The faction he originally belonged to was also a Heavenly Monarch lineage that was no less powerful than the Great Sun Heavenly Sect, and was even more ancient than the Great Sun Heavenly Sect.

Gu Jinlai, people have gazed at this crack in silence.

He really wanted to enter the Demon Realm and wreak havoc.

The spiritual essence extracted from Demonic Spirit after its death has a remarkably significant effect on the crafting of Spirit Artifact.

He even suspected that the reason why the Celestial Master civilization was able to create such cutting-edge beings as Heavenly Dragons, Floating Islands, and Void Beasts was because they delved into the world on the other side of the rift and extracted almost endless spirituality, thus accomplishing one seemingly impossible feat after another.

However, he now holds power over both Star Province and Jiangzhou, and if anything goes wrong, the situation in Star Province and Jiangzhou will collapse at an extremely rapid pace.

Even though he wanted to explore the world on the other side of the rift, he still dared not risk his life.

"The Aries Star Palace will descend again soon. As a spirit nurtured by the Aries Star Lord a thousand years ago, he should have heard about the battles between the Celestial Masters and the world on the other side of the rift. Even if he doesn't know, the Heavenly Dragon Wood should have some information. It's not too late to ask them for details before deciding whether to enter the world on the other side of the rift."

The Way of the Heart, from Gu Jinlai.

The Demon Realm Rift always closes much faster than it opens.

After about half an hour, the ripples in the space completely dissipated.

The void returned to calm.

Since Demonic Spirit don't have the concept of "corpses," the entire cave seemed as if nothing had ever happened.

If it weren't for the three engines that looked like something out of science fiction, and the Gu Jinlai had a lot more raw material bars, people would have thought that the rift had never been opened at all.

"I prepared eight engines, and this is all I got..."

Gu Jinlai turned his gaze to Si Tianyan and Guan Xingyun: "Do you know of any places where the Demon Realm Rift has opened?"

"In the Qian Tian territory, we only know of six places that definitely exist: Tianhe, Muzhou, Rizhou, and Zhongzhou."

As Si Tianyan spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, "There seem to be rumors of a rift in the Demon Realm in Xiyan Prefecture, but we can't be sure if they are true or not. We only know that the number of Demonic Beasts in the most famous Xiyan Great Rift Valley in Xiyan Prefecture is increasing, to the point that human cultivators dare not venture there easily."

"West Yanzhou."

To the west of Star Province are the Purgatory Sect and the Yellow Springs Sect.

Beyond that lies a black and white desert that can be described as a no-man's-land.

Only after crossing the Black and White Sand Sea can one reach Xiyan Prefecture.

This period covers at least six thousand miles.

Gu Jinlai shook his head, dismissing the idea of sending someone to investigate.

Instead of traveling thousands of miles to investigate the unknown existence of the Demon Realm Rift in Xiyan Prefecture, it would be better to properly conquer Tianhe and Muzhou.

The Demon Realm rifts in these two places definitely exist.

Gu Jinlai, Zhang Lihuo, who was immersed in the state of True Spirit condensation, gradually opened his eyes.

His gaze immediately fell on Gu Jinlai's side, and then he stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Elder."

"You're too kind. Your achievement as a Heavenly Lord is entirely due to your own hard work and accumulation. I didn't contribute anything."

He said with a smile, "Gu Jinlai."

"No! I know very well that with my talent, I have almost no hope of becoming a Heavenly Monarch. It was because the Supreme Elder taught us the Great Sun Demon God Body Refining Method, which replenished our depleted essence and energy, and improved the Great Sun Ninefold Refinement Visualization Method for us, making it more efficient. He also helped me reshape the Great Sun Core, and my cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds. All these reasons made it possible for me to step into the Heavenly Monarch realm."

Zhang Lihuo sincerely said, "Without the Supreme Elder, given my physical condition at the time, I would have had at most ten more years before passing away due to excessive depletion of my vital energy. The Supreme Elder's kindness to me is akin to giving me a second life."

He Gu Jinlai.

Zhang Yukun, Si Tianyan, and Guan Xingyun, who were standing nearby, shared similar thoughts.

The Great Sun Demon God Body Refining Method passed down from Gu Jinlai has helped them replenish the deficiency of Qi and Blood, increasing their cultivation efficiency by three or four times, and they no longer have to worry about premature death due to excessive Qi and Blood depletion.

The reshaped Great Sun Core significantly enhances the cultivation efficiency of the Great Sun Ninefold Refinement Visualization Method in all aspects.

Both sides overlapped...

It is at least ten times faster than simply practicing the Great Sun Ninefold Refinement Visualization Method before.

This is also why Si Tianyan and Guan Xingyun, despite carrying a legacy, still chose to switch to cultivating the Great Sun Ninefold Refinement Visualization Method.

That's too fast.

The cultivation efficiency of the Great Sun Ninefold Refinement Visualization Method is too fast.

No matter how loyal you are to the company, who can resist being poached by another company offering ten times the salary?

"Alright, no need to thank me. If you really want to thank me, then help me produce the weapons that the Xuan Bird fighter jet can carry as soon as possible. Now, the Xuan Bird fighter jet engine is ready, and the fighter jet has been produced. All that's missing are the weapons."

He said with a smile, "Gu Jinlai."

"Please rest assured, Elder, I have now condensed my True Spirit. Give me half a month, and I will definitely complete the weapon configuration of the Xuan Bird fighter jet."

Zhang Lihuo said solemnly.

"I trust you."

Gu Jinlai nodded slightly. "Alright, let's go back."

As he spoke, he carried the several-ton engine and the raw material bars, and walked out of the cave.

Zhang Lihuo and the others quickly followed.

Having cultivated the Great Sun Demon God Body Refining Technique, each of them possessed an energy level comparable to those who Core Forming Formation stage. Although the several-ton engine was somewhat heavy, it was not impossible for them to lift it.

Gu Jinlai emerged from the cave, Gu Junxiu and the others quickly came to greet them.

Gu Qingmei and the others who were guarding outside also quickly stepped forward and took over the hard work from Gu Jinlai and the other celestial masters.

Just as Gu Jinlai was about to give another word of advice, he suddenly realized something and looked straight to the north.

As he circulated the Qian Tian purple qi Technique, he could clearly see that the pillar of fortune that originally represented the Yellow Heaven Sect was intertwined with the black pillar of fortune that was blocking the Milky Way.

Although they have not yet merged into one, they are already deeply connected.

This situation...

After a moment's thought, he had already guessed what it was.

"Dragon Sparrow Manor is playing a trick of using others to do their dirty work, trying to use the power of the Demonic Beasts in the Cloud Rising Mountains to deal with Star Province. You, Yellow Heaven Sect, are no better."

Gu Jinlai snorted coldly.

After a moment, he frowned, as if he had thought of something.

Even if Yellow Heaven Sect wanted to use someone else to do his dirty work, he wouldn't dare to openly cooperate with Demonic Beasts. Otherwise, if this unspoken rule were broken, the generals of Qiantian would have no place to stand.

But what if he attacks Star Province while the Tianhe Demonic Beasts are attacking Xingzhou?

At that time, the situation in Jiangzhou, which had been so hard-won, would inevitably fall into chaos.

"Elder, what happened?"

Zhang Lihuo noticed Gu Jinlai's unusual behavior and came over to ask him a question.

Gu Jinlai at him and, without hiding anything, revealed that Yellow Heaven Sect had colluded with the Tianhe Demonic Beasts.

Finally, he added, "I was able to uncover this conspiracy through the method of observing qi, and I have no evidence to speak of, so it would be difficult to have any impact on the Yellow Heaven Sect if I were to announce it now."

"Yellow Heaven Sect actually colluded with Demonic Beasts..."

Zhang Lihuo, Zhang Yukun, Si Tianyan, and the others looked rather grim.

However, given the precedent set by Dragon Sparrow Manor, no one was surprised by their actions.

Especially since the Demonic Beasts of Crocodile Dragon Marsh had caused great damage to the Yellow Heaven Sect this year, and it was said that even a dozen Spirit Refining True Person had been lost, he couldn't wait for these Demonic Beasts to fight Star Province to a standstill.

"Ancestor, we absolutely cannot sit idly by and wait to die!"

Gu Qingmei, who was standing to the side, said in a deep voice, "Please give the order, Ancestor, and we will launch an attack on the Yellow Heaven Sect immediately."

"We have no evidence. If we really launch an attack on the Yellow Heaven Sect, we will face a pincer attack from the Yellow Heaven Sect and the Tianhe Demonic Beasts."

This Gu Jinlai.

Star Province is not yet powerful enough to take on the Yellow Heaven Sect and the Tianhe Demonic Beasts together.

But...

"But we can't stand idly by; it's time for the Tiannan Alliance to step in."

Gu Jinlai made a decision. "Spread the word that our Tiannan Alliance will launch its first large-scale operation since its alliance began. Yellow Heaven Sect will lure the Tianhe Demonic Beasts away from the Tianhe River, and then the Tiannan Alliance will gather its strength to ambush the Tianhe Demonic Beasts and wipe Demonic Beasts out in one fell swoop!"
