Emperor Two Hundred Sixty-Eighth Chapter: Blue Province

The Celestial Immortal's True Explanation, also known as the Celestial Demon's True Explanation.

That was a supreme method that the Heavenly Emperor summarized from his own understanding of the Heavenly Sword, directly leading to the True Immortal of the Land.

With the methods for cultivating to the level of Celestial Person being being held only by those top sects, the value of the inheritance of a True Immortal on Earth is so high that it is almost immeasurable in monetary terms.

In today's world, apart from a few major divine weapon forces, no other force possesses a true immortal-level inheritance on land.

Even forces with Celestial Person beings in charge, such as the Taiyi Sect, the Earth Mother Goddess Cult, and the Tianhai Sword Sect, are no exception.

In fact, if it weren't for the widely circulated method of forging the body of a saint—the Immortal Golden Body—many people wouldn't know how to become a saint.

However, achieving sainthood and condensing the body of a saint are only one factor.

The most important thing is how to forge an indomitable will.

This is also a secret that is kept in the hands of only a very few forces.

And if one could obtain the opportunity to comprehend the true meaning of the Celestial Immortals...

Whether it's an undying will or a true immortal on land, the solution to these problems will be found within this framework.

This is an irresistible temptation for any power.

"You intend to use the Celestial Immortal's True Understanding as a pretext to lure the members of the Ten Demonic Sects to participate in the Divine Sword Tournament?"

Wu Tiandi's emotions fluctuated for a moment, but he quickly calmed down again. "Although the Celestial Immortal True Scripture is not as good as the Celestial Extreme Sword, the Celestial Extreme Sword has only one master, while the Celestial Immortal True Scripture can give everyone the opportunity to read it. In addition, my senior brother made a vow to show his sincerity, so the other major sects should send their Primordial Spirit True Lord to participate in the conference."

What Di Luo established was a vow of Dao heart.

For a sage to achieve true immortality on land, not only must their indestructible will be perfected through cultivation, but they must also find the Dao fruit they wish to attain.

If one goes against the Dao, it is equivalent to contradicting the Dao in one's heart, and one's cultivation will be forever stuck at the Saint stage, with no hope of reaching the realm of a True Immortal on Earth.

It was precisely because Di Luo swore an oath of Dao Heart that forces such as the Yellow Spring Sect, Purgatory Sect, and Cold Moon Sect were able to confidently plan to participate in the Divine Sword Tournament.

Otherwise, if someone obtains the Heavenly Sword's approval and then goes back on their word, who can defy his will?

Wu Tiandi agreed with Di Luo's statement.

But then he changed the subject. "However... how can you ensure that other forces are willing to unite under your wing, obey your orders, and become a cohesive unit? Surely you don't really think the Ten Demonic Sects are in dire straits and are so merciful as to offer up the Celestial Immortal True Scripture for everyone to comprehend in order to strengthen your own power?"

"I have my own ways of getting them to obey my orders."

Di Luo said in a deep voice, "Junior brother, just cooperate with me when the time comes."

"Is that so? Then I'll wait and see."

"Boom!"

Wildebeest, velociraptors, tyrannosaurus rex, and even mechanical tyrannosaurus rex galloped across the land, their roars echoing for dozens of miles.

The birds and beasts on both sides of the road were all startled and fled in all directions, fearing that if they were too slow, they would become the army's prey.

This group of people, composed of six thousand official Demon God guards and ten thousand reserve guards, came from Xingzhou.

Since the purpose was to support the Cold Moon Sect in Lanzhou, Star Province naturally couldn't send out its entire force.

Besides having only 16,000 men, the Sharp Sword Heavy Cannon also only brought 108 guns.

Even so, the procession still marched past in a grand and imposing manner.

As friendly reinforcements, or the Lingxiao City army that had recently defeated the Tianhe Demonic Beasts in Yuntian City, the Cold Moon Sect would send people out to reward them along the way Gu Jinlai they passed through a city.

This has never been stopped, either in Gu Jinlai.

He also took this time to thoroughly understand the situation of the Cold Moon Sect and to demonstrate the majesty of the Lingxiao City army to the people of the Cold Moon Sect.

At this moment, he was greeted by a Spirit Refining Elder.

Large quantities of supplies were moved out of the city and made available for the demon god's guards to use.

He and his disciples were constantly busy, trying their best to take good care of these reinforcements.

Given Lingxiao City's current prestige and its relationship with the Cold Moon Sect, if they were to show any negligence, Gu Jinlai could simply draw his sword and kill him, and Cold Moon Sect would be overjoyed.

Looking at this scene, Gu Jinlai couldn't help but think of the scene when they first came into this world.

"If we're talking about the past Gu Jinlai... like this Elder of the Cold Moon Sect, who sits in charge of a city and controls the lives and deaths of millions of people like a regional governor, that would be the limit he could ever reach."

After all, a state typically only has a dozen or twenty cities, but a top-tier power has far more than a dozen or twenty Spirit Refining Elders.

Ultimately, only a few Spirit Refining Elders can truly become the top leader of a city.

And now...

Eyes from Gu Jinlai swept across the surrounding area.

Leaving aside those whose physical strength reached the level of a mid-level warrior, such as Gu Chifeng, Gu Luochen, and Gu Qingmei, after digesting the battle of Yuntian City, he had forty-one ordinary warriors under his command.

Even if these forty-one people had not mastered swordsmanship and Movement Method, their strength in a direct confrontation would be no less than that of "Gu Jinlai" when they first left the Purgatory Sect.

In other words, he had forty-one subordinates, similar to those described as " from Gu Jinlai".

The remaining groups consist of high-level demon god warriors who can oversee a county, mid-level demon god warriors who are considered upper-class in the county, and ordinary demon god warriors who meet the standards of "experts" in the eyes of many, totaling tens of thousands of people.

Having built such a foundation in less than four years since arriving in this world, it seems somewhat unbelievable to anyone, Gu Jinlai.

The scene of being chased and killed by those disciples of the Zhengyi Sect who had Orthodox One Sect the Core Forming, Gang Condensing, and even Qi Refining stages still felt like yesterday.

"Ancestor, shall we rest here for a day, or continue our journey?"

Gu Chifeng asked for instructions.

Gu Jinlai composed himself and glanced into the distance. "We need to rest for a day. We must ensure that we have enough combat power to join the battlefield when the time comes."

"Yes."

Gu Chifeng agreed and quickly made the arrangements.

After three years of growth, he has transformed from a naive young man into a capable general who can command troops.

The demon god's personal guards traveled much faster than ordinary armies.

Even with swords and cannons, it wouldn't affect their speed.

After all, this world is not ancient Blue Star.

Heavy artillery weighing tens of tons got stuck in the mud and couldn't get out.

Which of those demon god guards who have cultivated into warriors could not carry them and walk away?

In this situation, in just ten days, Gu Jinlai had already traveled three thousand miles and arrived at the southern border of the Cold Moon Sect.

Upon learning that Gu Jinlai come to reinforce them, Cold Moon Sect, the sect leader of Lengyue Sect, Leng Ningshuang, the supreme elder of the top True Lord, and Liu Jingtao, the supreme elder of Lianyu Purgatory Sect, and Wuyou, the supreme elder of Huangquan Sect, who were supporting Cold Moon Sect, personally led their people to welcome them from ten miles away.

"We have been waiting for Lord Gu for months, and now you have finally arrived."

"With the arrival of the Ancient Heavenly Lord, our Blue State has hope."

"Hahaha, once the Ancient Lord arrives, the swords will fire in unison, surely blasting these invading Demonic Beasts into dust. I can't wait to experience the earth-shattering power of this war Spirit Artifact."

One by one, the Primordial Spirit True Lord greeted Gu Jinlai with utmost courtesy, their expressions filled with respect.

Even Liu Jingtao was no exception.

During the battle at Dragon Sparrow Manor, the Purgatory Sect, Cold Moon Sect, and Yellow Spring Sect treated Gu Jinlai and Star Province and Jiangzhou behind him as equals.

They acknowledged the status of Lingxiao City as a top power, and also recognized the identity of the leader of this top power Gu Jinlai.

However, with the battle of Yuntian City, Gu Jinlai once again used the trump card obtained from the Aries Star Palace to kill the Crocodile Dragon King, and defeated the charge of 70,000 to 80,000 Demonic Beasts with almost no casualties. This terrifying combat power has clearly surpassed that of the Cold Moon Sect, the Yellow Spring Sect, and the Purgatory Sect.

Under these circumstances, the attitudes of the three powerful elders, including Leng Ningshuang, the leader of the Cold Moon Sect, towards him also changed imperceptibly.

"Thank you for welcoming me, all four of you."

Gu Jinlai cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Won't the departure of the four of you lead to the loss of the fortress?"

"The Demonic Beasts King of Muzhou has not yet appeared. Although many high-ranking Demonic Beasts have made their moves and intended to divide their forces to break through the encirclement, we, the nine Primordial Spirit True Lord, have managed to prevent these Demonic Beasts from succeeding so easily."

Frost condensation.

Yes.

Nine Primordial Spirit True Lord.

Besides Liu Jingtao and Wuyou, the Cold Moon Sect has seven True Lord -level experts.

Among these seven people, Jing Yunshan and Cheng Lixue were True Lord of the Primordial Spirit of Muzhou. Because Muzhou was defeated, their sects were completely destroyed.

Unwilling to accept defeat, they fought and retreated, then joined the Cold Moon Sect, becoming Cold Moon Sect retainers, and sought revenge against the Demonic Beasts.

However, besides the two Primordial Spirit True Lord, the Cold Moon Sect also has five other True Lord.

Fang Daoqian was also a top-tier Heavenly Lord, much like Leng Ning Shuang.

This scale startled Yellow Heaven Sect and the Purgatory Sect.

Besides the True Lord, the Cold Moon Sect has several Spirit Transformation cultivators who are far more capable than ordinary people, not to mention the Spirit Refining True Person.

Under such a life-or-death situation, the hidden power of the Cold Moon Sect has been fully exposed.

"I fear that delay might lead to unforeseen changes, so I will now explain my tactics."

Gu Jinlai waved his hand, and Gu Chifeng quickly unfolded a map in front of everyone.

"Demonic Beasts have always regarded the Celestial Master and the Celestial Lord as a major threat. Now that I have arrived in Lanzhou, that Demonic Beasts King will probably be eager to make a move. In order to ensure that I can severely damage these Demonic Beasts, I have studied the map of Lanzhou in detail before I came. I plan to gather the Demonic Beasts in front of Calabash Valley."

"Hulu Valley".

Fang Linghai quickly visualized the landscape of the valley in his mind.

As its name suggests, the valley is shaped like a gourd and has two narrow sections.

But...

"Hulu Valley is a dangerous place."

Fang Linghai said in a deep voice.

"If it weren't for a desperate situation, if we weren't used as bait, how could we have lured the Demonic Beasts into the trap?"

Gu Jinlai said, "Let's have a decisive battle here. The number of Demonic Beasts that Muzhou has sent this time is not much stronger than the Tianhe Demonic Beasts. In Yuntian City, Yellow Heaven Sect and I were able to defeat the Tianhe Demonic Beasts. Now, with the combined strength of the four of us, I don't believe we will be defeated by these Demonic Beasts."

The group exchanged glances.

Riding the wave of Yuntian City's great victory, the words spoken Gu Jinlai have already carried immense weight.

Now that he has such courage and decisiveness...

"Then we'll risk our lives to accompany you!"
