The Emperor's Sword

When Gu Jinlai returned to Starlight City from Muzhou, he vaguely sensed that the aura of the Three Thousand Great Swamps, which was equivalent to that of Demonic Beasts, was about to spread towards Muzhou.

However, at that time the spread was very slow, so slow that it seemed that it might not take two or three months for the two sides to break into a violent conflict.

But he had only been away from Muzhou for six days, and spent five days in Starlight City comprehending the Celestial Master's legacy left by the Beginningless True Person and the Xuanji Sect, when the aura of fortune belonging to the Three Thousand Great Swamps suddenly pressed down, directly covering the entire Southern Muzhou. This change...

"The Demonic Beasts of the Three Thousand Great Swamps are planning to completely invade Muzhou."

Gu Jinlai solemn.

"Although the demon Demonic Spirit of the Demon Realm Demonic Spirit longer possess all the wonders they had when they transformed into Demonic Beasts, they still have various means to sense the dangers contained within the Qian Heaven Realm. When the Primordial True Person was still alive, they feared the power of this terrifying being, but with the Primordial True Person's fall..."

The Book of Changes also looks towards the south.

Now, the various drawbacks of the passing of the Beginningless True Person are beginning to emerge.

The Demonic Beasts gradually turned their gazes towards them.

The Qian Heaven and Earth Realm has a population of nine hundred million.

If we include people without household registration, it wouldn't be surprising if the number reached 1.2 to 1.3 billion.

What an enormous population!

Even at its peak, the Xuanji Sect had three True Immortals on Earth, yet it only governed 600 million people.

While population size cannot be used as a standard to measure the strength of a sect, it can be used to measure the probability of Demonic Beasts launching an attack on this area.

With a population of over a billion, it's not surprising that it attracts Demonic Beasts emperors.

"Call out!"

After transmitting his thoughts, Xin Tianqi immediately landed in the courtyard where Gu Jinlai was located.

"Immediately Lu Zhanxian and Gu Luochen, instructing them to withdraw from Nanmu Prefecture and establish a defensive line in Dongmu Prefecture. I will head there immediately."

Gu Jinlai said something to Xin Tianqi.

"Yes."

Xin Tianqi nodded, but said with a hint of worry, "Ten years ago, when Demonic Beasts ravaged Nanmu Prefecture, we lost contact with the Three Thousand Great Swamps. However, we learned ten years ago that the Demonic Beasts Emperor had appeared there. This time, the Demonic Beasts of the Three Thousand Great Swamps are coming in with great force..."

"It must be led by the Demonic Beasts King."

Gu Jinlai, people have known the reason for Xin Tianqi's worries, but...

"We cannot retreat! Not only can we not retreat, but we must also give these Demonic Beasts a crushing blow! Let them realize the price they will have to pay to invade Muzhou."

Gu Jinlai said in a deep voice, "The Three Thousand Great Swamps and the Cangshan Sacred Domain further south seem to be locked in a fierce struggle. In other words, they cannot devote all their energy to the Muzhou battlefield. As long as we can achieve a glorious victory, it will surely deter the Demonic Beasts."

"A single punch can prevent a hundred more."

Xin Tianqi understood the meaning of " from Gu Jinlai" and nodded solemnly.

I agree with this statement.

"Careful!"

"I know what I'm doing."

Gu Jinlai, it seemed as if he had thought of something, "Did the news come from the Great Qian Dynasty?"

"Right."

Xin Tianqi said, "Because of the deal involving the Sharp Sword and Heavy Cannon, I maintained contact with that General of the Northern Merchants, and his information came directly from Emperor Qian."

"Emperor Qian..."

Gu Jinlai nodded.

This Emperor Qian has always been very firm in his stance on dealing with Demonic Beasts.

Moreover, he was able to detect the movements of Demonic Beasts even in the capital of Zhongzhou before the emperor, which shows that he had a very high level of mastery of the Qian Tian purple qi Technique.

Of course, it could also be related to his identity.

As the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, he was bound to Great Qian dynasty's prosperity and decline. Under such circumstances, he was more sensitive to changes in the fortunes surrounding the Great Qian than anyone who had cultivated the Qian Tian purple qi Jue to perfection Gu Jinlai.

"Since Emperor Qian has sent a message... that's perfect."

Gu Jinlai said in a deep voice, "I plan to go to the Demon Refining Hall to exchange for a Dao artifact through the Heaven and Earth Universe Diagram. You should have Shang Zhenbei report this to him."

"Exchange for Dao artifacts!?"

Xin Tianqi's pupils contracted.

The Heaven and Earth Universe Diagram of the Demon Refining Hall is said to be able to exchange for any material, including Immortal Refined Gold, Dao Artifacts, and Creation Immortal Fruits.

However, since it involves such top-tier resources, it would obviously alarm the Qian Emperor.

"With the number of Demonic Beasts I have slain, I am already qualified to exchange for a Dao artifact."

"I wonder if Gu Jinlai, given my current merits, the Qian Emperor would be willing to give me a second Dao artifact."

Dao artifacts!

They would be considered top-tier members in any sect.

Before the Sacred Domain Ruins were unearthed, it was estimated that there were only eight or ten Qian Heavenly Dao artifacts in total.

Although the previous Imperial Tutor Tai'a obtained many Dao artifacts from the Holy Domain and also made considerable gains when he annihilated the Heavenly Immortal Palace, the royal family probably only possessed a dozen or so Dao artifacts.

Even though he has slain nine Demonic Beasts kings and hundreds or thousands of great Demonic Beasts Gu Jinlai, and has made numerous merits, it is still unknown whether Emperor Qian will grant him a second Dao artifact.

"Let's go to the Demon Refining Hall."

Gu Jinlai.

He turned his gaze to Zhou Yi and Zhang Lihuo: "The two of you will continue to study the Book of Nature and the Holy Scripture of Balance in Starlight City."

"I will go with the Ancient Palace Master."

Zhou Yi pondered, "Now that I can control a Xuan Bird fighter jet, I can add some combat power."

Although the Xuan Bird fighter jet cannot defeat the Demonic Beasts King, it is more efficient than the Celestial Person in killing high-ranking Demonic Beasts.

After all, while the Celestial Person are powerful, they are no match for the Demonic Beasts King...

Even powerful Demonic Beasts with tenacious vitality can become exhausted from fierce battles due to excessive energy expenditure.

However, war Spirit Artifact like the Xuan Bird Fighter have endurance and continuous combat capabilities that far surpass those of the Celestial Person.

Count me in.

Zhang Lihuo said in a deep voice, "The Three Thousand Great Swamps are not only home to Demonic Beasts Emperors and Demonic Beasts Kings, but also to even more Great Demonic Beasts. After you start controlling the Cheng Ying Mech, you will inevitably not have enough time and energy to control the eight Xuan Bird Fighters. Rather than leaving these Xuan Bird Fighters, which are even more efficient at killing than Celestial Person, in the hangar, it would be better for the two of us to pilot them onto the battlefield. This will at least help relieve some of the pressure on you, Elder."

They watched the two people from Gu Jinlai.

Considering his future plans to have them pilot the Cheng Ying mechs, using the Xuan Niao fighter jets in combat now is a way to familiarize them with this sci-fi-themed war Spirit Artifact in advance.

He nodded and said, "Alright, you guys get ready. After I return from the Demon Refining Hall, we'll set off together for Muzhou."

Soon, Gu Jinlai and Xin Tianqi arrived at the Demon Refining Hall.

To avoid wasting time from Gu Jinlai, Xin Tianqi had already notified the Lord of the Demon Refining Hall in advance.

When he arrived, the Heaven and Earth Universe Diagram had already been activated.

Gu Jinlai directly presented his Universe Talisman: "Exchange all merits for Dao artifacts, any type, preferably Dao artifacts with double boundless and tough characteristics."

"A Dao artifact!?"

The temple master was startled and quickly accepted the Universe Talisman: "The exchange of Dao artifacts often takes some time..."

"I know, go ahead and apply."

This Gu Jinlai.

"Yes."

The Lord of the Demon Refining Hall respectfully agreed and quickly went to carry out the operation.

Next...

It is waiting.

The wait wasn't long.

In less than half an hour, the Heaven and Earth Universe Diagram began to tremble, accompanied by scattering streams of light.

Soon, a Dao artifact manifested from a sub-part of the Dao artifact Heaven and Earth Universe Diagram.

Gu Jinlai, people have reached out and taken this magical artifact.

"This is...!? The Panwu Spear!?"

Xin Tianqi recognized the object immediately upon seeing it.

Although the Dao artifacts in the Sacred Domain Ruins have only been unearthed for a little over two hundred years, almost every single one of them has made a name for itself in those two hundred years.

This Panwu spear, for example, was used by a guardian deity of the Heavenly Immortal Palace a hundred years ago.

Of course, this saint who forged the immortal golden body was killed by Tai'a Lingkong in the great battle a hundred years ago when the four great terrestrial immortals besieged the Heavenly Emperor. The Panwu Spear naturally became a royal spoil of war.

However, even after this Dao artifact appeared, the shimmering light of the Heaven and Earth Universe Diagram did not dim.

Soon, another burst of brilliant light appeared.

"There really is a second Dao artifact!?"

Xin Tianqi was somewhat surprised.

This time, it was a flying sword.

"Divine Mountain Sword!"

Xin Tian abandoned the road.

Divine Mountain Sword!

This is a royal treasure, and also the sword of the saint Wei Wufeng.

Wei Wufeng is also a legendary figure. He showed extraordinary talent from a young age. He was later favored by the previous Emperor Qian, who betrothed him to a princess and gave him special training, eventually leading him to the realm of a saint.

He died in battle when the Heavenly Emperor stormed the capital and slaughtered the Jiang clan, the royal family.

"Dual toughness properties".

Gu Jinlai, people have held this sword with great satisfaction.

Although it's a bit small, as a Dao artifact, even with the Eternal Furnace running at full power and energy being poured into the sword, it can last for several breaths.

With this Dao artifact containing energy, he could annihilate even the body of Demonic Beasts emperor, whose vitality was more tenacious than that of a divine being, with a single blow.

"Two Dao artifacts, that's fair enough..."

Gu Jinlai.

"The Heaven and Earth Universe Diagram has not been closed, and the transmission of supplies has not stopped."

At this moment, Xin Tianqi suddenly spoke.

"Um!?"

Gu Jinlai, people have gazed upon this Heaven and Earth Universe Diagram, and witnessed the third burst of intense light coalescing.

"The third Dao artifact!?"

This result surprised not only Xin Tianqi, but even Gu Jinlai himself.

Although he slew nine Demonic Beasts kings and hundreds, even thousands, of Demonic Beasts fell to his sword, these achievements...

Exchanging two Dao artifacts is no problem, three Dao artifacts...

It's a bit...

The radiance spread in all directions.

Soon, the third Dao artifact appeared before Gu Jinlai.

Upon seeing the sword-shaped artifact, Xin Tianqi's pupils constricted, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "The Emperor's Sword!?"

"The Emperor's Sword?"

Gu Jinlai have taken up this sword.

He didn't recognize the Panwu Spear or the Shenyue Sword, but he recognized the Emperor's Sword...

It was a household name.

The Emperor's Sword!

This is the sword of the previous Emperor Qian!

Although the previous Emperor Qian did not receive the divine weapon's recognition as his master, he later forged a divine body and entered the realm of saints.

The sword he used was the Emperor's Sword.

This sword...

In many situations, it can be used to exercise imperial power!

"Emperor Qian... not only sent three Dao artifacts, but also the Emperor's Sword!?"

Gu Jinlai, people have held this sword with a mixture of confusion and deep emotion.

Moreover, after carefully sensing it...

This sword not only possesses the dual limitless properties, but also the dual toughness properties.

The requirements for Dao artifacts put forward Gu Jinlai are fully met by this Emperor's Sword.
