Reentering the Aries Star Palace

Looking at the remaining 149 beams of clear light, Gu Jinlai turned his gaze to the Holy Scripture of Balance.

Compared to the Book of Nature, which focuses on cultivating the spirits of plants and trees and taking the path of alchemy and medicine making, the Book of Balance, while lacking any powerful killing techniques, is at least a bit better than the Book of Nature.

Just then, a slight noise came from outside the training room.

Since Gu Jinlai has not announced any seclusion to the outside world, but only said that he was sorting out his own cultivation, Gu Qingmei would still come to report as soon as some relatively important things happened.

He then left the cultivation room, where Gu Qingmei and Leng Tianfeng were already waiting.

Upon seeing Gu Jinlai arrive, Gu Qingmei immediately took out a Thousand-Mile Light and Shadow Mirror: "Ancestor, it is Lord Xin Xing."

"Oh."

Gu Jinlai, our gaze has turned to the realm of light and shadow stretching for miles.

Inside, Xin Tianqi's expression held a hint of joy. "I agreed."

He smiled and said, "The royal family of Great Qian has agreed to cooperate with us. They will have the Celestial Person Jiang Yinlong secretly bring over the Immortal Refined Gold and a batch of materials for forging the Undying Holy Body, and hand them over to us."

"You agreed?"

Gu Jinlai was slightly taken aback, then immediately said emphatically, "Good!"

Over the past century, the Great Qian royal family has collected a large amount of immortal refined gold, amounting to more than a thousand portions.

These thousand-plus portions of Immortal Refined Gold, along with other materials used to forge a Divine Body, are enough to forge two Shadow-Transforming Mechs.

After all, the Cheng Ying mech doesn't necessarily have to be made from immortal refined gold.

They only chose Immortal Amalgam because it was cost-effective and easy to obtain.

"When will Jiang Yinlong arrive? I'll go pick him up myself."

This Gu Jinlai.

Although one of the two Cheng Ying mechs was to be given to the Great Qian royal family, the addition of one more Cheng Ying mech would mean one more Saint-level combatant for Lingxiao Palace.

Furthermore, they are currently getting along well with the Great Qian royal family, so giving Jiang Tianji a Chengying mecha is not a bad thing.

"They traveled in secret, without telling anyone where they came from, saying they would inform us when they arrived in Lingxiao City."

Xin Tianqi paused as he spoke, "In addition, Jiang Yinlong has another mission here: to bring back Star King Jiang Chongshan."

"Bring Jiang Chongshan back?"

There have been some surprises Gu Jinlai.

Jiang Tianji's ascension to the throne was illegitimate; he only secured his position by relying entirely on Taiyuan's support. Therefore, the royal family was quite wary of Jiang Chongshan, who was also a member of the royal family and whose status was closer to that of the direct line.

But now, he wants to summon Jiang Chongshan back?

After a moment, he still didn't think much of it.

He did not want to get involved in royal affairs.

"What did Jiang Chongshan say? Is he willing to go back? If he doesn't want to return to the capital and stays in Lingxiao City, I believe no one can forcibly take him away."

"He agreed."

Xin Tian abandoned the Dao.

"Then let him be."

Gu Jinlai.

The two were discussing some details when he suddenly sensed something.

Then Zhang Lihuo and Zhang Yukun arrived in a hurry.

Among them, Zhang Yukun couldn't contain his joy. "Found it, found it, Supreme Elder, we've found the location of the Aries Star Palace."

"Have you found the Aries constellation?"

Gu Jinlai, people have suddenly turned their attention to this.

"Yes, the Aries constellation is located on the sea near the island. Some people have seen the Tianlong Wood carrying the Aries constellation amidst thunder, chasing the lightning."

Zhang Yukun said.

"On the sea surface around the islands..."

Without hesitation, Gu Jinlai said, "I will go there myself right away."

The Aries constellation carries the legacy of the Aries ruler.

Compared to the Balance Scripture obtained from the Beginningless True Person and the Great Qian Imperial Family, and the Book of Nature obtained from the Book of Changes, the inheritance of the Aries Star Lord, preserved by the Aries Star Palace artifact spirits Ziyang and Tianlongmu, two beings who have lived for thousands of years, is far more complete than those two classic texts.

Moreover, according to Ziyang, once he passes the test of the Aries Star Palace, he will become the master of the Aries Star Palace. At that time, he will not only be able to obtain the Aries Star Palace, which was personally crafted by the Aries Star Lord in the past and is estimated to be even more precious than a top-grade Dao artifact, but he will also be able to command the Heavenly Dragon Wood and make this Heavenly Dragon, which has the combat power of a true immortal on land, his protector.

At that time, with the power of the Heavenly Dragon, he will suppress all dissenting voices within Qiantian with overwhelming force, and completely unite Qiantian into one.

Then, based on the foundation of Qian Tian, we will vigorously develop industrialization and cultivate top cultivators.

Using steel and flames, we will annihilate Demonic Beasts, great Demonic Beasts, and even the Demonic Beasts King. Using the Cheng Ying mech, and even the complete Cheng Ying mech and Tianlong, we will fight against the Demonic Beasts Emperor and the Demonic Beasts Lord.

He could even develop medium- and long-range missile technology.

As long as the missile's firing speed can reach twenty or thirty times the speed of sound and it is equipped with a nuclear warhead, the threat posed by the Demonic Beasts Emperor and Demonic Beasts King will be minimized.

At that time, the Demonic Beasts had no choice but to transform into Demonic Spirit.

Once transformed into Demonic Spirit, it returns to the main battlefield of the Celestial Master.

Given the rapid transformation of cultivators into Celestial Masters, it wouldn't be a problem to suddenly produce a bunch of Creators or even a bunch of Great Celestial Lords.

Furthermore, although the Creator is not visible in the world today, who dares to say that there is no living Creator?

This is also why the Demonic Spirit have not yet transformed into Demonic Spirit form to invade.

They finally destroyed the Heavenly Master Lineage and used the Demonic Beasts lineage to deprive the Celestial Masters of their means of survival. They even managed to get cultivators to join the ranks of those suppressing the Celestial Masters.

If the invasion of Demonic Spirit activates the Heavenly Master Lineage, or even recreates the glory of a thousand years ago, those high-level Demonic Spirit who are waiting for the right time to completely conquer this world will have nowhere to cry.

"Zhang Lihuo, I'm going to the Aries Star Palace to take the final test. If Jiang Yinlong arrives before I return, you will receive them in my place and verify the materials."

It Gu Jinlai.

A hundred years ago, the Heavenly Emperor was on par with the Celestial Person Beings in terms of status.

Having Zhang Lihuo, a Heavenly Lord, receive Jiang Yinlong, a Celestial Person, is not an insult to his status.

"Please accept the inheritance with care, Elder. I'm here, nothing will happen."

Zhang Lihuo said solemnly.

"Good."

Gu Jinlai seemed to have thought of something, "Why don't you and Zhou Yi try to conquer the Aries constellation's challenges? After all, you can get a lot of rewards after clearing them."

"We believe in the Supreme Elder's talent and ability in the Celestial Masters sect. As long as the Palace Master passes the third trial, the Hidden Dragon Trial, and obtains the complete inheritance of the Aries Star Lord, the Aries Star Palace and its treasures will belong to our Lingxiao Palace. We believe that the Supreme Elder will not treat us unfairly at that time."

Zhang Lihuo said with a smile.

"Too."

Gu Jinlai, people have always been confident in their ability to overcome the Hidden Dragon Pass.

"There's no time to lose, I'll head over right away."

He said something and quickly took out the Cheng Ying mecha from his Qiankun Ring.

Seeing the Cheng Ying mech reminded him of the resources Jiang Yinlong had brought, enough to forge a second and a third Cheng Ying mech.

He actually wouldn't mind making the trip to the capital and bringing these things himself, but unfortunately...

Although he and Emperor Qian had reached a tacit understanding, if he were to actually descend upon the capital, it would inevitably arouse the capital's vigilance.

Even Taiyuan, who was plotting against the True Immortal Palace, would probably have to abandon his busy work and return to the capital to protect the emperor.

Even if he had no ill intentions towards Jiang Tianji, this scene was bound to happen.

Ultimately...

Trust.

Shaking his head, Gu Jinlai boarded the Cheng Ying mecha. Under the expectant and envious gazes of Zhang Lihuo and the others, the Eternal Furnace started operating, injecting energy into the mecha.

Soon, with the engine starting, the Cheng Ying mech soared into the sky, and with a powerful thrust, it quickly broke through the atmosphere and headed towards the island at supersonic speed.

Although the island is more than 20,000 miles away from the Star Province, the Cheng Ying mech, which maintains four times the speed of sound, arrived at the sea area where the island is located in less than three hours.

He chased the storm and soon began searching the void.

As the pinnacle of life forms in the Beast Taming system, the Heavenly Dragon Wood possesses an incredibly powerful vitality.

The Cheng Ying mech itself has a radar that can detect life energy, although it only has a range of less than 100 miles, but that doesn't stop it from knowing that Tianlongmu will run into the storm.

In addition, the Cheng Ying mech has amazing mobility...

After searching for only one day, Gu Jinlai found the Tianlong Wood on a large island more than 6,000 miles from the coastline.

This is a large island that stretches for hundreds of miles, and it seems that there are also overseas residents living on the island, with an estimated population of hundreds of thousands.

Ignoring Gu Jinlai, he went directly to a rather precipitous mountain range on the north side of the island, where the Tianlong Wood, which carries the Aries Star Palace, is located.

When he arrived in his Cheng Ying mech, Tian Longmu noticed him and let out a low, warning growl.

However, before it could make any further moves, the artifact spirit Ziyang keenly sensed something, quickly appeared, and guided Gu Jinlai descend.

"You've come at the perfect time, Gu Jinlai. We were just planning to come find you after another year or two of accumulating energy."

Zi Yang greeted him with a smile, while curiously examining the mecha he was wearing. "This war Spirit Artifact... is powered by the kind of 'nuclear fusion' power you mentioned earlier?"

"Right."

Gu Jinlai nodded.

He was able to complete the construction of the nuclear fusion reactor thanks to the simulations of Ziyang, a "supercomputer".

"It looks pretty powerful. Should we try it out with the wood and see where its strength limit is?"

Ziyang asked curiously.

Gu Jinlai at Tianlongmu's massive body and the volcanic power hidden within it, and wisely said, "The Chengying Mech is not yet in its complete form, and is certainly no match for Lord Mu."

As he spoke, he changed the subject and looked at the Aries constellation. "Can the Aries constellation be activated now?"

"We're still a little short on energy to fully activate it..."

Ziyang said, looking at Gu Jinlai: "However, I have confidence in you, and I am willing to activate the Aries Star Palace for you alone. Are you planning to go and challenge the Hidden Dragon Pass?"

"Right."

Gu Jinlai nodded. "Thank you."

"No, if you really succeed, we should be the ones thanking you."

As Ziyang spoke, he said with some emotion, "We have waited far too long for this day to choose a suitable successor for the Star Lord."

After saying that, he immediately walked inside. "Come with me, I can't wait to welcome the new Lord of Aries."
