Submission

The spiritual essence extracted after the fall of the Demonic Spirit is the highest quality Yuanling Pill.

As long as one possesses sufficient spirituality, any Spirit Artifact can be crafted.

The reason why the Celestial Master civilization was so powerful a thousand years ago, capable of creating even spectacular objects like space cities, floating islands, and star gates, was because they suppressed the Demon Realm, treating the entire Demon Realm as their hunting ground, freely transforming Demonic Spirit into spiritual beings, and then using them to create spiritual Spirit Artifact.

Currently Gu Jinlai using Demon Soul Crystals to refine Demon Refining Pearls, maximizing the potential of Demon God Warriors and Celestial Masters.

Mass-produced Spirit Artifact in the future...

This is by no means empty talk.

"Demonic Spirit kind of energy source... is actually quite useful."

This idea suddenly popped into my mind, Gu Jinlai.

But then he shook his head.

Demonic Spirit remain humanity's greatest enemy.

This applies to all lineages, including the Heavenly Master Lineage, the Cultivator lineage, and the Demon God Warrior lineage.

The Celestial Master developed various magical Spirit Artifact and treasures to counter the Demonic Spirits, but the Demonic Spirit did not stop there.

The Demonic Beasts system is their most powerful counterattack against the Celestial Masters.

If we go back a thousand years, the Demonic Beasts emperor who was transformed from a spirit lord would definitely be able to annihilate the creator in a direct confrontation.

Even the Creator, protected by the Void Beast and the Heavenly Dragon, is no exception.

It should be understood that the power of the Creators lies in their ability to perceive danger after their True Spirit are transformed into spirit beings, and in the creation of creatures such as the Void Beasts and Heavenly Dragons.

Through the true spiritual realm's vision, as far as their eyes could see, unless there was a creator of the same realm providing cover, other methods held no secret from them.

With this insight into crises, the Creators can easily avoid the dangers posed by True Immortals on Earth and True Immortals residing in the world, and avoid encountering them.

Then control the Void Beasts and catch them...

Even a true immortal who has attained the Dao and is in perfect harmony with the primordial chaos can only watch helplessly as their soul is gradually stripped and torn apart by the Void Beast, leading them to death.

But Demonic Beasts are different.

After Demonic Spirit transforms into Demonic Beasts, it will focus on evolving one ability.

That is the ability to sense the Celestial Masters.

Powerful Demonic Beasts can even "smell" the aura of True Spirit from hundreds of miles away, let alone real spirit beings.

They can easily find the true body of the Creator, destroy their physical form, and without a physical body, the Creators, whose True Spirit have transformed into spiritual beings, lose the foundation and coordinates of the material world, and ultimately only end up lost in the spiritual world or buried there.

Zhou Yi, Zhang Lihuo, and Gu Jinlai discussed the specific methods for refining and perfecting the Demon-Refining Pearl, and then assigned some tasks to Zhang Yukun, Si Tianyan, and others.

The three of them then went back to another room.

Zhou Yi took out a document and said, "Palace Master, these are the sixteen most valuable soul secret techniques that we have compiled from the Holy Scripture of Balance and the Book of Nature. Among the sixteen secret techniques, our Xuanji Sect has three, the Great Qian Imperial Family has one, and the other twelve come from the Beginningless True Person."

"Soul Secret Techniques".

Gu Jinlai looking at these sixteen secret techniques.

The Great Heavenly Lord is the perfect state of a Heavenly Lord.

This state includes not only the True Spirit and consciousness, but also the secret arts of the soul.

Just like a cultivator, not only must one's understanding of the realm reach perfection, but one's accumulation of True Qi must also reach its limit. One must also refine each sword technique and Secret Method to perfection before one can be considered to have reached the true peak.

Of course, cultivators can use Dao artifacts and Spirit Artifact, while Heavenly Lords...

Before the advent of divine weapons, there were basically no tools available.

"Soul techniques generally fall into four categories: attack, defense, domain, and support. However, these four types are intertwined. For example, the Eternal Heavenly Curse that you, Palace Master, possess is a purely offensive soul technique. The Great Sun Eternal Radiance can be categorized as both an attack technique and a domain technique..."

As Zhou Yi spoke, he pointed to the sixteen soul techniques. "As a perfected being, the Great Heavenly Lord has no weaknesses. Therefore, it is best to choose one of the four soul techniques—attack, defense, domain, and support—and cultivate them to their fullest potential."

"You need to cultivate all four?"

This has surprised people Gu Jinlai.

"Yes, the so-called perfection, besides the perfection of the True Spirit, spiritual consciousness, and soul secrets, there is another kind of perfection, which is the mind."

The Book of Changes says, "When everything you have reaches its extreme, your mind will be in a special state..."

"Simply put, it's the mentality of 'I am invincible'?"

Gu Jinlai have been pondering this.

Zhou Yi paused for a moment after hearing the analogy from Gu Jinlai, then nodded. "Yes, that's the mindset. This mindset will breed a kind of confidence, a kind of sharpness, and then an invincibility. The morale is also high. But if an army that has won every battle is against another army with the same equipment and number, the one that wins in the end will definitely be the former."

Gu Jinlai nodded.

His gaze fell upon the sixteen soul techniques.

The secret arts of the soul actually have certain requirements for the core of visualization.

The accompanying Soul Secret Technique is the most powerful.

For offensive builds, I have no intention of switching to Gu Jinlai, and the Eternal Heavenly Curse is sufficient.

Domain category to be determined.

Defensive and support classes...

A moment later, all eyes, Gu Jinlai, fell upon a technique called the Wall of Nothingness and the Heart-Burning Fire Secret Technique.

The Wall of Nothingness constructs a vacuum zone around the True Spirit, devoid of any spirituality, like a wall, preventing others' soul techniques from attacking their True Spirit through spiritual means.

Burning Heart is a secondary skill.

Or, to put it another way, secret techniques.

This secret technique can stimulate the True Spirit state, allowing it to enter a boiling or explosive state.

This state of activation is similar to the forced burning of the True Spirit Gu Jinlai, and the cost is also similar, as it will damage the True Spirit, but the efficiency is significantly higher than that of burning the True Spirit.

If Gu Jinlai had mastered this secret technique before entering the Demon Realm, they wouldn't have needed ten Eternal Heavenly Curses to kill that Spirit Lord.

"Let's start with these two, but I also plan to look at other secret techniques for reference."

This Gu Jinlai.

Zhou Yi nodded.

Each Great Heavenly Lord's secret arts cultivation is systematic, and naturally, only he himself can decide which secret arts to cultivate.

Advice from ordinary people should only be used as a reference.

"In fact, the Supreme Elder does not need to rush to establish the core secret technique he needs to cultivate."

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Lihuo suggested, "Firstly, the Supreme Elder's True Spirit and spiritual consciousness have not yet reached their peak. Secondly, the Supreme Elder should not forget the inheritance of the Aries Star Palace. That inheritance was preserved by the spirit of the Aries Star Palace and is much more complete than any inheritance we have."

"The Aries Star Palace Heritage?"

Zhou Yi was taken aback.

Zhang Lihuo and Zhou Yi gave a brief explanation.

Upon hearing Zhang Lihuo's explanation, Zhou Yi couldn't help but gasp. "I've also heard of the Aries Star Palace's lineage. It's said that it was carried by Tianlongmu and has been wandering all over the world, but for thousands of years, no one has gained the Aries Star Palace's recognition. And now... the Aries Star Palace is actually willing to stay in Qiantian for your sake, Palace Master... In the past thousand years, those who have received such treatment are few and far between!"

He had long known Gu Jinlai the potential of the Celestial Masters sect was astonishing, but he never expected that his potential would reach this level.

"Palace Master, Zhang Tianjun is right. If we can obtain the inheritance of the Aries Star Palace, there is no need to rush the matter of the Soul Secret Technique."

Zhou Yi's eyes showed genuine admiration. "The Aries Star Lord... he is the head of the twelve great star lords of the Holy Domain. Moreover, the main reason he became the head of the twelve star lords is his teaching of his disciples. In the era a thousand years ago, he could have been revered as the teacher of the world."

"I will first study these two secret techniques and accumulate experience. If I can really obtain the inheritance of the Aries Star Lord, and there are more soul secret techniques in it that are more suitable for me, then it will not be too late to switch."

This Gu Jinlai.

Unlike other celestial masters, he doesn't need to spend years or even decades studying a single technique to master the secret arts of the soul.

After you've mastered the basics, it's simply a matter of how much light you have.

Speaking of Kiyomitsu...

It has been "looked" at from Gu Jinlai.

Recently, the growth of Qingguang has been very slow.

He still has a Chaos True Demon Body technique waiting to be cultivated.

This technique, obtained from Ying Wuqing, the Cultivation Method of the Demon God Cult, has been mastered to the basics, and its color...

Light Purple.

Gu Jinlai on experience, it is estimated that about twenty to thirty beams of light are needed.

And now...

With peace and prosperity prevailing south of the Milky Way, his monthly income has dwindled to only three or four streams.

There's no way around it; the requirements for Karma as blood are too high.

It would be impossible to accumulate Karma to this extent without large-scale killing.

South of Tianhe now, even if there are occasional fights, they are only directed at the parties involved. The phenomenon of wiping out entire families of dozens of people like before is almost no longer happening.

"During this time, I will also study other Cultivation Method related to the path of demons and gods to consolidate my understanding. In three months... let's restore Yanzhou."

Gu Jinlai, people have always had their own plans and calculations.

I imagine that after conquering Yanzhou, we will gain a great deal of Qingguang.

As he pondered, Gu Qingmei's voice came from outside. "Ancestor, news has come from Lord Xin that a major tribe in Yanzhou has dispatched a joint delegation, which has crossed the Black and White Sand Sea and entered the Chi Province region. It seems they have come to submit a petition and discuss merging with our Lingxiao Palace."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinlai, who was contemplating launching a war against Yanzhou after recuperating for a period of time, was immediately stunned.

"Enter."

He said something.

Gu Qingmei quickly walked in.

He was also carrying a large telescope.

In the mirror, Xin Tianqi was already waiting there.

"Palace Master."

"Is Yanzhou going to surrender?"

"Yes, the thirty-six tribes of Yanzhou have formed an envoy delegation and are heading towards Starlight City. Their advance team has already contacted us, hoping to discuss in detail the matter of merging into Lingxiao Palace. Furthermore, the Primordial Spirit True Lord and Spirit Transformation Grand Cultivators of the thirty-six tribes are also willing to join Lingxiao Palace and become one of its members."

Xin Tianqi's brief summary.

"Do they understand the order and system within our Lingxiao Palace?"

"Understand."

Xin Tianqi nodded. "They are willing to follow the egalitarian order promoted by Lingxiao Palace."

After saying that, he smiled and said, "Actually, I am not surprised at all that the thirty-six tribes of Yanzhou made this decision. Anyone with a bit of wisdom should know that after learning that we were able to defeat the three thousand-strong invasion army of the Great Swamp with three Demonic Beasts kings and dozens of Demonic Beasts kings, it is a dead end to fight against our Lingxiao Palace."

Those who have heard this Gu Jinlai don't know whether to feel fortunate or regretful.

"Regardless of whether they surrender or not, Lingxiao Palace must conduct a trial in Yanzhou. Originally, this trial was scheduled to take place three months later, but now... I will organize a team, led by myself, with Primordial Spirit True Lord such as Lu Zhanxian, and ten thousand Demon God Guards to be stationed in Yanzhou. If they want to surrender, they will have to wait until we have completed the trial."

Gu Jinlai, he turned to Gu Qingmei and said, "Go and gather people and act in advance to prevent some heinous criminals from getting wind of it and leaving prematurely."
