"Call out!"

The Blackbird fighter jet landed beside the artillery position in Calabash Valley amidst the envious and eager gazes of countless people.

Gu Jinlai, people have looked at the marks left by warplanes...

There was a hint of regret in his eyes.

The Xuan Bird fighter jet is so large that it cannot be forged from durable spiritual materials.

The fighter jet is primarily made of extraordinary metals such as black gold.

It has excellent strength, heat resistance, and stability.

In terms of defense...

It's not bad.

However, they might not be able to withstand the spears, swords, and boulders thrown by some powerful Demonic Beasts.

With the immense strength of the great Demonic Beasts, it was not difficult to throw these boulders, trees, and spears a thousand meters.

One or two pieces, and Gu Jinlai have managed to avoid them.

But even with prices ranging from ten to several tens of dollars, it's difficult to achieve comprehensive coverage Gu Jinlai.

In particular, the Xuanniao fighter jet itself has an extremely high flight speed.

In the event of a collision, the Xuanniao fighter jet would inevitably suffer some damage.

"I wonder when we'll be able to get the energy shield working."

The Way of the Heart, from Gu Jinlai.

But...

Energy shield technology is still a long way off.

The only areas where the Xuanbird fighter jet can be optimized are its material structure and firepower output.

If more spiritual materials like Void Stones are added, the maximum speed of the Xuan Bird fighter jet can be increased even further.

Let alone six times the speed of sound, eight times or ten times is not his limit.

And the Celestial Person...

"Because of their precise control over the power of heaven and earth, the Celestial Person can, to some extent, significantly offset the effects of external factors such as air resistance on their flying swords. Therefore, the maximum speed of their flying swords can reach ten times the speed of sound. But that's not all. What's most terrifying about the Celestial Person is that they can form a control force field centered on themselves, similar to a domain. Within this force field, they can mobilize any power of heaven and earth..."

Gu Jinlai, various pieces of information about Celestial Person have flashed through my mind.

It is precisely because of this force field, or domain, centered on them, that the Celestial Person's strength far surpasses that of the Primordial Spirit True Lord.

Their social class has also moved from the third to the fourth tier.

It's important to understand that in much older times, sages and Celestial Person did not belong to the same major stage.

After all, the lifespan of Celestial Person is not much different from that of Primordial Spirit, Spirit Transformation, Spirit Refining, or even Core Forming the elixir of immortality.

But saints can remain in the world for three or four hundred years.

There is a difference in the level of life between the two.

However, it is precisely because the Celestial Person have such a great advantage over the Primordial Spirit True Lord that, as long as the Celestial Person do not act foolishly, dozens or even hundreds of True Lord can turn a blind eye to them. This is why later generations forcibly classified the Celestial Person as the fourth major category, just like the Saints.

"The prototype of the Xuan Bird fighter can only bully the Primordial Spirit True Lord. To fight against the Celestial Person, we still need a fully matured machine... but such a machine... I estimate that it may not be possible to produce one in the next year."

Gu Jinlai, attention has been diverted from the Black Bird fighter jet.

He needs more time.

At this moment, Zhang Yukun came to his side, took out the Thousand-Mile Mirror, and said, "Elder, Lingxiao City has sent a message. They received Yellow Heaven Sect's distress message. Tianhe..."

"I know."

Gu Jinlai, people have looked up and gazed into the distance.

He has already perfected the Qian Tian purple qi Jue.

His ability to monitor and understand destiny surpasses that of anyone else.

I'm afraid even the Great Qian Emperor couldn't compare to him in the art of observing qi.

Therefore, the strange changes of the Heavenly River Demonic Beasts were clearly and unmistakably displayed before his "eyes," and there was no secret to it.

"The Heavenly River Demonic Beasts have launched an attack on the Yellow Heaven Sect, and perhaps the Demonic Beasts King has also appeared?"

This Gu Jinlai.

Zhang Yukun was slightly taken aback, then quickly nodded. "Yes, there aren't many Demonic Beasts, but the Demonic Beasts king who is the leader... is a bird."

"Birds?"

Those who have heard this Gu Jinlai have been somewhat enlightened.

No wonder, Yellow Heaven Sect couldn't wait to ask him for help even before the two sides had started fighting.

Bird-like Demonic Beasts king...

Compared to the Celestial Person, the Land-Walking Demonic Beasts King was far less of a threat.

But for True Lord of the Primordial Spirit, the restraint is too great.

Any Primordial Spirit True Lord who is targeted by a bird-like Demonic Beasts king will inevitably face death.

"Get ready, I'm leaving with the Xuan Bird fighter jet."

Gu Jinlai, people have responded directly.

"The Supreme Elder intends to go and rescue Yellow Heaven Sect?"

Zhang Yukun was startled. She glanced towards Lengfeng Fortress: "The Battle of Lanzhou... isn't it completely over yet? Now should be the time for us to reap the spoils of war. The Supreme Elder is leaving at this time..."

"Yellow Heaven Sect is Yellow Heaven Sect, they do not represent the thirty million people of Huangzhou..."

Gu Jinlai shook his head and said, "Send messages to Lingxiao City and Xingguang City, gather troops, and prepare to enter Huangzhou to fight against the Demonic Beasts."

"I see."

Zhang Yukun nodded. "What about Lanzhou..."

"Don't worry, what's ours will be ours, and no one can take it from us. The reason I'm willing to respond to the Cold Moon Sect's request for help is partly because of those immortal refined golds, but another reason is to demonstrate our true strength to the Cold Moon Sect, including the Yellow Spring Sect and the Purgatory Sect, in order to prepare for the upcoming decisive battle between the forces of Tiannan and the Demonic Beasts of Muzhou."

This Gu Jinlai.

He saw it very clearly.

This battle was nothing more than a minor skirmish; the Demonic Beasts of Muzhou didn't even use their true power.

What awaits them in the future is an inevitable and tough battle.

"I'll arrange it right away."

Zhang Yukun said.

"Oh, right, before I leave... I should arrange a meeting with Jing Yunshan and Cheng Lixue from Muzhou."

Gu Jinlai turned to the other side, looking at Gu Qingmei.

Gu Qingmei was slightly taken aback by what Gu Jinlai said, and then lowered her voice and said, "Ancestor, I was just about to report this matter to you. True Lord Jing Yunshan and Cheng Lixue have something to ask to see you."

"Oh?"

It seems that something has been associated with this Gu Jinlai.

He sensed the presence of the two Primordial Spirit True Lord after a brief moment, nodded, and headed directly towards the direction of their presence.

Before long, Gu Jinlai arrived at a relatively secluded grove of trees.

Here, the two Primordial Spirit True Lord, Jing Yunshan and Cheng Lixue, were already waiting.

Upon seeing Gu Jinlai, the two stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Lord Gu, please forgive our intrusion."

"I am overjoyed that the two True Lords have come to visit."

Gu Jinlai smiled slightly, "Moreover, I also have important matters to discuss with the two True Lords."

Jing Yunshan and Cheng Lixue were slightly taken aback.

Cheng Lixue spoke first, "What are your instructions, Lord Gu?"

"I dare not accept your orders."

Gu Jinlai said, "As you two should know, in order to forge some powerful war Spirit Artifact, I have been trying to acquire various spiritual materials. Among these spiritual materials, the one with the greatest shortage is Immortal Refined Gold... Muzhou has the largest gold mine in Qiantian. Since you two have come from Muzhou, do you know where there are any relevant clues?"

"Immortal Refined Gold?"

The two were both somewhat surprised and felt that it was within their expectations.

After all, the pursuit of immortal refined gold has been known to everyone Gu Jinlai.

Especially after witnessing the astonishing power of the Xuan Bird fighter jet, Jing Yunshan thought he had realized something, "Did the Ancient Heavenly Lord intend to forge all those flying war Spirit Artifact from immortal refined gold?"

"Almost."

Gu Jinlai, "That kind of Spirit Artifact is called the Mystic Bird. It is a weakened version of the complete Mystic Maiden Fighter. If it is made entirely of immortal refined gold, both its defensive power and the speed it can unleash will increase significantly."

"Weakened from the Xuan Nu Fighter?"

The two Primordial Spirit True Lord, Jing Yunshan and Cheng Lixue, couldn't help but show surprise on their faces.

If the weakened version of the Xuan Niao fighter jet already has this kind of power, what would the full version of the Xuan Nu fighter jet look like?

For a moment, the two of them felt even more fortunate about their decision.

And the immortal refined gold that has been needed throughout Gu Jinlai...

It was the best stepping stone for them to join the entire political system of Lingxiao City.

Thinking of this, Jing Yunshan said, "We did bring some Immortal Refined Gold with us when we left... During the time we joined the Cold Moon Sect, the Cold Moon Sect did not ask us for anything in order to show their sincerity in accepting us, and we kept these Immortal Refined Gold."

Upon Gu Jinlai, Gu Jinlai's eyes lit up. "I wonder how many there are?"

After saying that, he seemed to feel that the question was a bit presumptuous, and quickly said, "If you two have any needs, please feel free to ask. I also have a top-grade Spirit Artifact. In the Battle of Lanzhou, I killed many Demonic Beasts and captured a lot of merits. If you two want another top-grade Spirit Artifact, I can exchange it for you."

"The ancient Heavenly Lord was of noble character."

Cheng Lixue cupped his hands and solemnly said, "Since we have brought up the matter of the Immortal Refined Gold, we are naturally willing to hand it over to the Ancient Heavenly Lord first. As for top-grade Spirit Artifact... we do not lack them at present. If the Ancient Heavenly Lord truly wishes to express his gratitude, please help us to exterminate the Demonic Beasts of Muzhou and restore Muzhou, so that we may have the opportunity to return to our homeland of Muzhou in the future."

Upon Gu Jinlai responded cautiously, "Since I have raised the banner of the Heavenly Monarch, the relationship between our Lingxiao City and the Demonic Beasts has become irreconcilable. I believe you two have sensed the situation during the battle of Lanzhou. The Demonic Beasts... did not exert their full strength, but Demonic Beasts are accumulating power. Our Lingxiao City is also accumulating power. I promise you two that in five years at the earliest, or ten years at the latest, our Lingxiao City will mobilize the entire province to counterattack Muzhou, wipe out all the Demonic Beasts in Muzhou, and restore this land that originally belonged to our human race."

"Good!"

Jing Yunshan and Cheng Lixue both agreed.

"Lord Gu, we believe in you!"

"Looking at the major forces in Tiannan in recent years, other forces at most choose to protect themselves when facing Demonic Beasts. Only Gu Tianjun and your Lingxiao City have won many battles against Demonic Beasts. In addition, with the current strength of Lingxiao City, we can launch a counterattack on Muzhou within ten years... We trust Gu Tianjun."

The two True Lord spoke at the same time.

Finally, the two cupped their hands and said, "Once the Demonic Beasts of Lanzhou have retreated, we are willing to enter Lingxiao City and contribute our meager strength to the grand plan of counterattacking Muzhou within ten years."

"Are you two willing to enter Lingxiao City?"

Those who have heard this Gu Jinlai have been pleasantly surprised.

"Yes, that's why we came here specifically to find the Ancient Heavenly Lord."

"Good! Good! Good!"

From Gu Jinlai, he repeatedly said three good words, "With the arrival of the two True Lords in my Lingxiao City, my Lingxiao City is like a tiger with wings. On behalf of nearly 100 million people in Star Province and Jiangzhou, I welcome the two of you to join us."

"It is an honor for us to be a member of Lingxiao City."

Jing Yunshan said with a smile.

Cheng Lixue immediately said, "We will take Gu Tianjun to retrieve our stored Immortal Essence Gold."

"Good."

Gu Jinlai nodded. "These immortal refined golds are very important to our Lingxiao City."

Cheng Lixue, having witnessed the Gu Jinlai reverence for Immortal Refined Gold, understood the importance of this resource to Lingxiao City.

For a moment, he couldn't help but feel apologetic, saying, "Although we have some Immortal Refined Gold, the quantity is not much, only fifty-one portions."
