Rest and Recuperate

North.

The capital of Central China!

True Immortal Palace!

Sanqing Hall!

They are all north of the Milky Way.

However, most of the time when people talk about the North, they are referring to that place that symbolizes the core of Qian Tian's power.

Just as when people mention the Holy Land, they often think of the glorious civilization established by the Celestial Masters, rather than the Twelve Domains.

Gu Luochen looked north, clearly wanting to find out if his ancestor had any plans to head north in the future.

"Our next goal will be to focus on recuperation and recovery, and this will remain the case for the next two or three years!"

The tone has been slightly emphasized Gu Jinlai.

"It's time to... rest and recuperate?"

Cheng Lixue was somewhat surprised.

Lingxiao Palace has recovered Muzhou and defeated the Three Thousand Great Swamps, and is currently at the height of its power.

Once the news spreads, the name of Lingxiao Palace, Gu Jinlai, will surely resound throughout the entire Qiantian.

Anyone would cheer for his glorious victory.

Despite having such a high reputation, Lingxiao Palace did not take the opportunity to move north, but instead wanted to recuperate.

"Ancestor, when the Divine Sword Tournament ended, the True Immortal Palace led a group to ambush you. Now that we have some free time, we should probably settle this score with the True Immortal Palace."

Gu Qingmei said.

Accounting is one of them.

More importantly, Gu Jinlai, people have used the pretext of settling accounts to lead their troops into Orange State and Green State.

Even...

Further take control of Japan.

Gu Jinlai at the two of them.

They had not been involved in the repair of the Cheng Ying mecha and were unaware of the severity of the situation in the fight against the three Demonic Beasts queens Gu Jinlai.

It means that this matter would never be publicized, whether in Gu Jinlai.

Apart from the core members Zhang Lihuo, Zhou Yi, and others, even Xin Tianqi and Lu Zhanxian were unaware of the situation of the Cheng Ying mecha at that time.

But he knew that the Lingxiao Palace was still inferior to the Great Qian Dynasty, the True Immortal Palace, and the Sanqing Palace in terms of its foundation.

He might be able to kill Imperial Tutor Taiyuan, Blood Demon Emperor Luo, and a certain saint of the Sanqing Palace with his strongest killing move, but during the period when the Chengying Mech was not repaired, the Celestial Person behind these forces were able to uproot the Lingxiao Palace with overwhelming force.

With Gaia, whom he controlled, and Celestial Person, who had just been promoted to Celestial Being, they were simply no match for any of the three major forces.

"This time we obtained a large amount of Demonic Beasts Essence Blood. After the prospective demon god guards refine this Demonic Beasts Essence Blood, they can be trained into 100,000 official demon god guards. However, the demon god guards need me or Zhang Lihuo to cleanse their spirituality after refining the Demonic Beasts Essence Blood. Therefore, we will be busy with this matter for a long time to come."

Gu Jinlai, "Furthermore, the soldiers in Star Province, Lanzhou, Huangzhou, Chi Province, Jiangzhou and other places have been fighting for years and are exhausted and war-weary. It is really not advisable to lightly draw their swords again. Therefore, in the coming period, Lingxiao Palace needs to gather its strength and focus on defense."

At this point, he paused slightly. "As for the next direction of development, there are three... One is to continue south and find out exactly how many Demonic Beasts are entrenched in the Three Thousand Great Swamps, and what the war between these Demonic Beasts and the Cangshan Sacred Domain is like. The other... is to reclaim Yanzhou and bring order to the chaotic Yanzhou as soon as possible."

Zhou Yi glanced at the Gu Jinlai.

Gu Jinlai, the recapture of Yanzhou and the restoration of order there have likely been attempts to further "prove the Way" and achieve unity of knowledge and action.

He had some expectations: after Yanzhou was pacified, would this ancient palace master and ancient heavenly ruler, who possessed unlimited potential, be able to make further progress in the path of the Heavenly Master?

He dared not hope for the Creator, but a Great Heavenly Lord whose True Spirit, consciousness, and soul techniques were perfected...

But we can look to the future.

"The last direction is the East China Sea."

Looking towards Jiangzhou from Gu Jinlai, Gu Jinlai said, "Tianyuandao was destroyed by Demonic Beasts more than ten years ago. Although those Demonic Beasts have not crossed the sea to this day, once they launch an attack, Lizhou and Jiangzhou will be the first to be hit. We must be prepared to defend against them."

"East China Sea."

Gu Qingmei, Gu Luochen, Cheng Lixue and the others felt a chill run down their spines.

Although the threat from the East China Sea has not been revealed, it is not non-existent.

Just like the three thousand great marshes.

No one knows when the Demonic Beasts lurking there will surge forth and completely engulf Qiantian.

"We, Qiantian, are not Tianyuandao."

Gu Luochen spoke in a deep voice, seemingly trying to encourage himself.

Nothing more has been said Gu Jinlai.

At this moment, he is examining a problem he has been facing.

He is perhaps too reliant on external things.

Just over a month ago, he used the Transformation property to accumulate energy in the Eternal Furnace and release it in the Panwu Spear, annihilating the three Demonic Beasts Emperors and twelve Demonic Beasts Kings, while also almost destroying the Cheng Ying Mech.

Without the Cheng Ying mecha, he was even less capable than a Demonic Beasts king.

Even...

Even if he had a backup Shadow Mech, it wouldn't be enough.

Why did he only kill three Demonic Beasts kings while piloting the Cheng Ying mech?

Why did they claim that those great Demonic Beasts weren't even qualified to make him draw his sword?

It wasn't that he wanted to hand these great Demonic Beasts over to the demon god's personal guards for practice, but rather...

Eternal Furnace!

Casting "Eternal Immortality" requires the Eternal Furnace to enter an overclocked state, and after the release is complete, it also requires enough time for the Eternal Furnace to return to stability.

However, as he perfected the Eternal Furnace, its power increased significantly, but his control couldn't keep up. Not only did the cooling time brought about by "Eternal Immortality" increase dramatically, but his use of the Eternal Furnace was also affected before it was fully stabilized.

If it weren't for the fact that the repair of the Cheng Ying mecha took more than half a month, during which time the Eternal Furnace recovered somewhat, he wouldn't have been able to start the Cheng Ying mecha at all.

"Therefore, setting aside all external factors, I am essentially just a demon god warrior whose physique has not yet reached the level of Demonic Beasts king."

The Way of the Heart, Through the Gu Jinlai.

Even if one's physique reaches the level of Demonic Beasts king, it is still inferior to that of a true Demonic Beasts king.

Not to mention the Celestial Person in the cultivation system.

"Without external objects, even Celestial Person and Demonic Beasts kings can pose a deadly threat to me, Non-Self can truly change my life form like the Creator and become a spirit being."

Although spirit beings are not immortal, their understanding of "spirit" allows them to "see" all the dangers around them and prepare accordingly.

They could either fight back or hide.

Of course, there are also examples in history of creators falling at the hands of true immortals, or even terrestrial true immortals.

A true immortal on land can withstand the Creator's secret soul techniques.

As long as one can withstand the soul-binding techniques and exhaust some of the Creator's trump cards, such as the Colossus, the Guardian Dragon, the Forbidden Beast, and the Divine Weapon, any Celestial Person, or even a Primordial Spirit True Lord, can take the life of a Creator.

Historically, there have been instances where the Creator was killed by the Primordial Spirit True Lord.

"The path of the Creator is clearly flawed. Next, I will focus on the Demon God Warrior. At least, I will temper my physique to the level of Demonic Beasts King first."

Gu Jinlai, people have made their decisions.

Of course, this did not prevent him from having the military workshop produce more Sharp Sword Heavy Cannons and Black Bird Fighters.

At this moment, in the Three Thousand Great Swamps, which is only about three hundred miles away from Muzhou, a Demonic Beasts that looks like it has just stepped into the realm of the Demonic Beasts King is looking towards Muzhou from afar.

"Qian Tian..."

It gazed at that land filled with human presence, a hint of resentment in its eyes.

"Lord Trayastrimsa Spirit Lord, the war Spirit Artifact forged by that human Heavenly Lord is too powerful. Even the Great Mill Spirit Lord perished at his hands... Although you quickly evolved to the Demonic Beasts King level after your descent with the help of the Impermanent Spirit Lord, it is unwilling to lead its followers into Qiantian again. It is too difficult for you alone to fight against that human Heavenly Lord..."

Behind it was the Demonic Beasts king Yafan, who had survived the Battle of Muzhou.

"Spirit Artifact of war..."

The Lord of the Trayastrimsa Heaven recalled the scene when half of his body perished.

After that half of the spirit was destroyed, it was enraged and couldn't wait to descend through a crack in the Three Thousand Great Swamps.

It thought that as long as it evolved to the level of Demonic Beasts Emperor, it would make that human pay the price, but when it arrived at the border battlefield of Muzhou, it discovered...

Even the Great Mill Spirit Lord, who had evolved for a long time on the path of the Demonic Beasts Emperor, was killed by that human who relied on the power of the War Spirit Artifact.

This blow was like a bucket of cold water, quickly calming it down.

"My lord, what will you do next? Will you continue to manage the city given to you by the Impermanent Spirit Lord, or will you open up a new battlefield?"

"Avan asked."

The Trayastrimsa Spirit Lord is a powerful mid-level spirit lord.

Even with half of its body destroyed, the remaining half still retains the potential of a Spirit Venerable, meaning it will be no problem for it to grow to the level of Demonic Beasts Emperor in the future.

Therefore, even though Avan is only a catastrophic Demonic Spirit, he is still willing to follow it.

"I plan to go to Chenyu."

The emotions contained in the spiritual fluctuations of the Trayastrimsa Heaven were very profound. "Go there to learn more advanced techniques."

Its menacing eyes held a glint of wisdom. "Humans may be the most intelligent of all beings, but their spirituality is too active. This activity means that their thoughts, ideas, and ideas are far more complex than those of other life forms. And the various desires that arise from this complexity will ultimately destroy them. Therefore, we should not rely entirely on violence to deal with some humans..."

"Humans do indeed have a strong tendency toward self-destruction."

Yafan nodded in deep agreement.

"Like this time, if I had chosen to cooperate with that human force called the True Immortal Palace beforehand, and attacked from both the north and south, the Lingxiao Palace might have been destroyed by the humans of the True Immortal Palace themselves. I could have just taken advantage of the situation from behind, and then, by absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy, I could have evolved into Demonic Beasts Emperor, or even Demonic Beasts Lord..."

The Lord of the Trayastrimsa Heaven paused at this point.

It has learned its lesson.

"Therefore, I am going to the Chen Domain. The Spirit Venerables of the Chen Domain are well-versed in how to manipulate human nature. Because of this, they have all grown into Demonic Beasts Emperors, and some Spirit Venerables who were originally inferior to me have grown into Emperors..."

The Lord of the Trayastrimsa Heaven turned to Avan and asked, "Would you like to come with me?"

"I am willing to serve you, sir."

Yafan lowered his head.

The two Demonic Beasts kings exchanged a few words, then quickly turned and disappeared at the border of Muzhou.

Just like those three thousand swamp Demonic Beasts who completely retreated and temporarily abandoned their invasion of Muzhou.

Thus, the Battle of Muzhou and the invasion of the three thousand swamp Demonic Beasts came to a complete end.
