The Way of Divine Weapons

The words of the Book of Changes have had a profound impact on Gu Jinlai.

Creators are indeed powerful, but their power comes at a price.

Everything has a spirit.

The spirit world inherently represents all living beings, the sun and moon, all things, time, and space.

One can imagine the impact of truly and completely integrating into the spirit world.

If a plant were to suddenly become a person, simply adapting to make the heart beat, the stomach move, the blood circulate, the eyes receive signals, and the limbs work would require countless hours and energy.

If he cannot control his body and coordinate the work between his organs, death will be his only outcome.

"When cultivators attempt to transform themselves into a semi-energy form of a saint, they must condense an undying will. This undying will is designed to cope with the impact of the change in life form. However, even with an undying will, a saint's body remains in a semi-energy form, and it still maintains a structure similar to a human body, many Celestial Person will still fail in their attempt to become saints..."

Looking back on the Gu Jinlai, Zhou Yi sighed, "In the three thousand years of our Xuanji Sect, more than a thousand Celestial Person have been born, specifically one thousand and forty-four. However, only thirty-six have become saints. On average, only one in twenty-nine people has been able to condense a sacred body and become a saint."

With an indomitable will as a foundation and by maintaining the human model, the failure rate of transforming the body from a life form to a semi-energy form remains this low.

This is simply...

"If it weren't for the fact that after a True Immortal on Earth comprehends the Dao, their undying will transforms from the illusory to the real, which would cause a backlash from Heaven and Earth and bring down a lightning tribulation, the danger of a Celestial Person being becoming a Saint would be even greater than the danger of a Saint becoming a True Immortal on Earth."

The Way of the I Ching.

"The cultivation system starts with the divine sense at the Spirit Refining Realm, the Yin Spirit at the Spirit Transformation Realm, the Primordial Spirit at the Primordial Spirit Realm, then the spiritual sublimation at the Celestial Person Realm, the indestructible will at the Saint Realm, and the 'Dao' power of the True Immortal on Earth. Step by step, it seems to be tempering one's spirit and will. But what about the Heavenly Master Lineage?"

Gu Jinlai suddenly asked, "Besides accumulating spiritual consciousness, does the Heavenly Master Lineage have no other way to strengthen itself in order to cope with the impact of the real spirit world?"

"Of course."

Zhou Yi said, "True Spirit and True Spirit Crystallization both belong to this kind of enhancement."

"But that's not enough."

Gu Jinlai said that "the transition from Heavenly Ruler to Creator is as if one or even two steps have been skipped, entering the realm of Creator in an imperfect manner, thus facing endless hidden dangers after achieving the status of Creator..."

He looked at Zhou Yi: "Can't a Heavenly Lord become a cultivator?"

"There is almost no such possibility."

Zhou Yi said, "What is the ultimate meaning of the True Spirit? It is to constantly adjust one's soul state until one can eventually merge into the spirit world and become a spirit life. However, the cultivator's undying will and the Dao are all about breaking through the fog of the mind and strengthening oneself. There is an essential difference between the two."

"What about the True Person Wushi? He was originally a True Immortal on Earth."

"But he never displayed the power of a True Immortal on Earth again after that, did he?"

The Way of the I Ching.

I briefly reflected on the Gu Jinlai.

Seem...

Since the battle with the Heavenly Emperor, True Immortal True Person has indeed not made any further moves.

Could it be that...

"We know the shortcomings of the Celestial Masters sect. More than 1,600 years ago, a creator raised a similar question to yours, but... time did not allow it."

Zhou Yi said, "At that time, the threat of the Demonic Spirit still existed. We urgently needed more creators to eliminate the Demonic Spirit and even launch a counterattack against the Demon Realm. A slight flaw... was unavoidable."

He looked at the Gu Jinlai: "Just like the current Demon God Warrior system, the hidden dangers of this lineage are much greater than those of the Creator, yet many people still follow one after another to become Demon God Warriors. The external environment leaves them with no other choice."

Gu Jinlai, Gu Jinlai gradually calmed down. "Will the civil war break out when the creators decide to solve this problem?"

"Perhaps the outbreak of civil war among the creators was related to this event."

The Way of the I Ching.

"Was the outbreak of the civil war related to this event?"

What is the greatest achievement of the Creators after the Ruins Beasts?

Zhou Yi asked and answered himself, "They are divine weapons! Divine weapons are forged from materials left behind by innate divine beasts. I don't need to elaborate on the wonders of innate divine beasts. The creators have accumulated rich experience in forging Dao artifacts, and by using innate divine beasts as materials, each divine weapon they ultimately forge is almost equivalent to a Dao!"

"One road!"

Gu Jinlai, this has reminded me of the celestial explanation I saw.

The Celestial Immortal True Scripture was derived from the Celestial Emperor's comprehension of the Celestial Sword, but what he "saw" in the Celestial Immortal True Scripture was not just one path.

"A divine weapon is itself a nearly perfect path. Therefore, once anyone obtains a divine weapon that recognizes them as its master, it is almost as if a complete path is laid out before them. As long as they follow this path, one day they will become a true immortal on land, or even... attain the true immortal's Dao fruit, live a long and healthy life, and live for thousands of years."

Is the Zhouyi Dao (Book of Changes) like getting the answers in advance before attempting the questions?

Gu Jinlai nodded.

"The original intention of the Celestial Masters in forging divine weapons may have been to rely on external forces, or rather, to use the way of divine weapons as a coordinate to ensure that they would not be washed away by the power of the spirit world, until they lost their way in the spirit world."

As Zhou Yi spoke, he sighed, "But for some unknown reason, they also failed, and even an unprecedented civil war broke out, destroying the Celestial Master civilization in one fell swoop."

"It failed..."

Gu Jinlai, he frowned.

Why did it fail?

Using the principles of divine weaponry as a guide is theoretically feasible.

Where is the problem?

At this moment, the Thousand-Mile Light and Shadow Mirror on his body began to vibrate.

The Thousand Miles of Light and Shadow Mirror has two modes: light emission and vibration.

The former is ordinary news.

The latter...

Something important has happened.

Gu Jinlai gave Zhou Yi an apologetic look and took out the Thousand Mile Mirror, in which Xin Tianqi's figure quickly appeared.

"Palace Master, this matter must be kept strictly confidential."

Xin Tianqi immediately issued a reminder.

After glancing around, Gu Jinlai and Chao stood up and went to the side.

This is not a matter of trust or not.

However, there are some things that are done without knowing if they are for the good of others.

"You say."

This Gu Jinlai.

"Xuan Yue from the Sanqing Palace arrived in Starlight City to request an audience with the Palace Master, expressing his intention to serve. Xuan Yue once resonated with the World Sword, the second divine weapon of Qiantian. After the fall of the Beginningless True Person, he became the master of the World Sword."

Xin Tianqi quickly stated the pros and cons, and then said in a deep voice, "An hour ago, Xuan Tianzun suddenly arrived in our Starlight City and found Xuan Yue, but he did not eliminate this disciple of Wushi True Person and the new sword master of the World Sword. Instead... he handed the World Sword over to him."

At this point, he quickened his pace. "I have now placed Xuan Yue and Xue Ying, another member of the Sanqing Palace who accompanied him, under house arrest in the name of protection. I ask the Palace Master to decide on the next steps."

"The World Sword!?"

Gu Jinlai hearing Xin Tianqi's words, Gu Jinlai was immediately filled with astonishment. "I know that Xuan True Person took the World Sword from Wuzhong Zhenren, but he actually gave this sword to Xuan Yue, the new sword master of the World Sword? And Xuan Yue just happened to arrive in Starlight City, intending to serve our Lingxiao Palace?"

"Although it seems unbelievable, it is the truth."

Xin Tianqi said with a somewhat emotional expression.

He could understand Xuan Yue's actions.

After the death of the Beginningless True Person, the Endless True Person, in order to seize the World Sword, would inevitably have to kill him, the new sword master. His coming to Lingxiao Palace to seek refuge is not a bad choice.

After all, he couldn't possibly seek refuge with Di Luo.

And the fall of the Beginningless True Person...

There are rumors circulating that the Qian Emperor is involved.

Therefore, the only ones who can withstand the pressure from the Sanqing Palace are Li Mufeng and Gu Jinlai.

But then a series of changes occurred...

It's really hard to keep up with the pace of thinking.

"Palace Master, this matter is of utmost importance..."

"I know."

Gu Jinlai said in a deep voice, "I will return to Starlight City immediately."

"Then I will wait for the Palace Master in Starlight City."

Xin Tianqi responded.

Gu Jinlai, people have closed the mirror of light and shadow and turned their attention back to the Book of Changes.

This reminds me of the profound understanding of the Heavenly Ruler in the Book of Changes...

He smiled and said, "Zhou Tianjun should have heard that in addition to the Cheng Ying mech, I also have the Xuan Niao fighter Spirit Artifact I have crafted?"

"Right."

Zhou Yi nodded, somewhat amazed, "A war Spirit Artifact with a flight speed faster than Celestial Person and saints... Such skill in artifact crafting is truly awe-inspiring."

"Would Zhou Tianjun like to try it himself?"

This Gu Jinlai.

"May I try it out?"

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up.

"Certainly."

Gu Jinlai nodded.

"I couldn't have gotten it."

The Book of Changes responded with joy.

At that moment, Gu Jinlai left Zhang Liefeng to continue entertaining Hongye and Yunling, while he led Zhou Yi to the nearest manned Xuan Bird fighter jet docking point, where he also taught him how to operate the Xuan Bird fighter jet.

He could tell Hongye's cultivation level from her eyes.

They also learned about the relationship between this newly promoted Celestial Person and the Purgatory Sect from Lu Zhanxian.

With this connection, he naturally felt comfortable sending them to the front lines to help.

What he needs to do is to bring Zhou Yi, this Heavenly Lord, back with him.

In his mind, this Heavenly Lord was no less important than the World Sword.

Therefore, even if it delays our journey to Starlight City, we are willing to do so.

The Battle of Muzhou lasted for more than three months. During this time, Lingxiao Palace also produced a variety of war Spirit Artifact, and the original war Spirit Artifact were modified according to the situation.

For example, the Xuanniao fighter jet, which can be used as an early warning aircraft.

And the manned Xuan Bird fighter jet that Zhou Yi piloted.

Although the flight speed was affected after manned flight, the physical strength of the Celestial Masters was still far superior to that of martial artists in the Organ Refining and Blood Changing Realm under normal circumstances, so maintaining one or two times the speed of sound was not a problem.

Less than half a day after the news of Xin Tianqi arrived, Gu Jinlai's Chengying mecha and Zhou Yi's Xuan Niao fighter jet had already landed in the inner square of the former city City Lord Mansion in Starlight City.

After disembarking from the Xuan Bird fighter jet, Zhou Yi's eyes were filled with amazement. "Seeing is believing. This kind of war Spirit Artifact is simply an epoch-making achievement for our Heavenly Master Lineage."

"I will further improve this fighter jet and design a special suit to reduce the overload of the aircraft, so that Zhou Tianjun will have a better experience when he flies it."

Gu Jinlai smiled and said something.

Then, he turned his gaze in one direction. "Now, let's witness the wonder of the second divine weapon of Qiantian—the World Sword."
