The Land of Inheritance

The kilometer-long Tianlong tree, like a prehistoric behemoth, stretches across the sky and travels through the void at an extremely fast speed.

Occasionally appearing and disappearing in the clouds, it would leave ordinary people on the ground who witnessed it in awe.

Gu Jinlai, through the Aries constellation, one can clearly sense the speed of the Draco constellation, this speed...

It is definitely more than four times the speed of sound.

In addition, there's its enormous size.

If the flight altitude is lowered slightly, without even taking action, simply passing over a human city will generate enough air bursts to cleave that city in two, causing countless deaths and injuries.

"The most crucial element of a Saint-level being is their size, but when it comes to the True Immortal level on land, the most terrifying thing is the 'Dao' they have comprehended."

Ziyang looked at Gu Jinlai, who was observing the flight of the Heavenly Dragon Wood, and said with a smile, "Since ancient times, among the many famous sayings passed down by mankind, there are sayings such as 'Man can conquer nature,' 'My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven,' and 'Using one's own heart to replace the heart of heaven.' These all refer to the power of the Great Dao of the True Immortals on Earth. The Dao of the True Immortals on Earth truly has the power to change the world. For example, the wood's evolutionary direction is the innate divine beast Yinglong. Yinglong's Dao can create storms. Therefore, the wood can travel through storms and thunder without being damaged and can also use the power of the raging winds and thunder to replenish the energy consumed by the Aries Star Palace."

"Storm and Thunder..."

Gu Jinlai's heart stirred. "Among the human saints, there is a body of thunder element. Could this be the foundation of the path of storm and thunder?"

"Thunder Element Body?"

Zi Yang paused for a moment, then continued, "I don't know much about the cultivator system, but the initial divine bodies are often evolved from innate divine beasts."

After pondering for a moment, it said, "In ancient times, innate divine beasts were called innate deities and were worshipped and believed in by humans as totems. Although those innate divine beasts did not need human faith, humans, as the most intelligent of all beings, were willing to be close to humans and give them some help. This is why the body of a saint is called a sacred body."

"So, the cultivation system imitates innate divine beasts?"

"Right."

Ziyang nodded. "Just like the original Celestial Master system actually imitated the Demonic Spirit, it's just that humans, with their innate talents and spirituality as the most intelligent of all beings, have surpassed their predecessors in both paths. As a result, Demonic Spirit and divine beasts once became prey for humans."

Gu Jinlai know what it refers to.

Divine weapon.

The main material for divine weapons is innate divine beasts.

Although these materials could be the corpses of fallen divine beasts, or the remains they left behind after evolution, they are far more difficult to trace than the latter...

It is obviously more convenient to directly hunt down innate divine beasts to create divine weapons.

After the creation of the Forbidden Ruins Beasts, it was no longer impossible for humans to hunt these divine beasts.

I don't know how to evaluate this matter, Gu Jinlai.

The only option is to remain silent.

The Tianlong Wood carried the Aries Star Palace through the sea of clouds, and soon arrived at a large uninhabited island with a diameter of over a hundred miles.

No!

There are traces of human habitation on this island.

But now, the entire island is teeming with hundreds and thousands of Demonic Beasts.

"Wood, show us your innate Divine Ability."

Ziyang looked at the Demonic Beasts entrenched on the island and said with a smile.

"Roar!"

The soaring Tianlong Tree let out a roar, and the wind and clouds in the sky changed dramatically.

Positive and negative ions clashed wildly in the atmosphere, quickly forming a massive thunderstorm that enveloped the entire island.

This island is over a hundred miles long!

The thundercloud storm enveloped the islands spanning hundreds of miles, a scale that...

Gu Jinlai awe-inspiring.

He had initially thought that by using missiles traveling at twenty or thirty times the speed of sound and carrying nuclear warheads, he could quickly penetrate defenses and annihilate the Demonic Beasts Emperor, but now it seems...

Thunderclouds stretching for hundreds of miles!

Even if it were equipped with a nuclear warhead with a yield of tens of millions of tons, if it were detonated fifty miles away, how much damage could it ultimately cause to a being like Tianlongmu, a true immortal on land or Demonic Beasts emperor?

"Boom!"

Thunder roared!

The Demonic Beasts on the island roared in terror, but countless bolts of lightning fell from the clouds.

Lightning bolts of tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of degrees Celsius struck down relentlessly, each one hitting the Demonic Beasts with almost perfect precision.

Minutes later, the thunderstorm subsided, and the dark clouds that had covered the entire island for hundreds of miles dispersed. The hundreds and thousands of Demonic Beasts that had once inhabited the island had now been completely wiped out.

"This is the innate Divine Ability of wood, Thunderstorm."

Ziyang said, "When a true immortal on land finds the Dao in their heart, the Divine Ability that were originally just relatively strong means of attack will undergo a qualitative change in their hands through the power of the Dao. Especially when the Dao is perfected, they can even replace the will of Heaven with their own heart, shake the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and finally release a power that surpasses Divine Ability. Cultivators call this a great Divine Ability, and the existence that masters this power is called a great Divine Ability master, who is second only to a true immortal residing in the world."

"Wood, is he a great Divine Ability being?"

Gu Jinlai have sought this question.

Ziyang smiled but did not speak.

Soon, Mu had entrusted Aries Star Palace to land in a valley on the island.

In the valley, faint spatial ripples could already be seen spreading in all directions, a sign that the Demon Realm Rift was about to open.

"You should adjust your state and prepare to receive the inheritance."

Ziyang gave a speech and then took control of the Aries Star Palace.

With a slight rumble and tremor, a portion of the Aries constellation building detached directly from the wooden structure, hovered, flew to the area where spatial ripples were spreading, and then stretched out.

Soon, the building had extended into a large platform with a diameter of over 100 meters.

The platform radiated a dazzling light, like starlight falling from the sky.

After these starlights intertwined with the soon-to-be-formed rift in the Demon Realm, their light grew brighter and brighter. In just two days, they formed a pillar of light tens of meters high, shooting straight into the sky.

On the third day, just as the Demon Realm Rift was about to truly open, pillars of light tens or even hundreds of meters high split apart from the middle, transforming into a diamond-shaped gate.

It is sharp at the top and bottom, and wide in the middle.

Visible ripples spread through the space, as if the door led to another world.

"This is the Stargate!?"

Gu Jinlai, people have been amazed by this dazzling brilliance, which is so magnificent yet bound by some unknown energy.

"Yes, this is a star gate, a star gate that leads directly to the place where the Aries Star Lord inherits his legacy."

Ziyang smiled and nodded, "Please come in. Over there, someone will guide you to receive the inheritance and make you the true Lord of Aries."

Gu Jinlai at Zi Yang, then at the Tianlong Wood perched to the side.

I had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

However, given the power of the Heavenly Dragon Wood, if they truly wanted to harm him, there would be no need to mobilize such a large force.

As for coveting the treasures he possesses?

That's utter nonsense.

His most prized possession is the Cheng Ying mecha.

Given the preciousness of the Pure Heart Jade Dew in this era, many Celestial Masters would be more than willing to exchange it for three hundred portions of Immortal Refined Gold.

"Go, we will be here waiting for your return."

Ziyang's smile was filled with anticipation.

"Good."

Gu Jinlai nodded, took a step, and entered the star gate.

Crossing the star gate feels similar to crossing the rift in the Demon Realm.

Considering that the Star Gate itself utilizes some special relationship between this world and the Demon Realm...

Or perhaps it's a case of time-space misalignment during transmission, so having a similar feeling is understandable.

Soon, figures from Gu Jinlai appeared in one place...

In a huge valley.

The entire valley probably stretches for dozens of miles, and traces of numerous buildings can still be vaguely seen in the surrounding area.

The reason they are considered traces is that many buildings have been uninhabited for many years and have become one with nature, with a large number of trees and ivy-like plants completely obscuring their original appearance.

After a moment, the gazes of people from Gu Jinlai were drawn to a tall tower a thousand meters away.

The tower is over a hundred meters tall, like a straight triangular spike pointing straight to the sky.

In particular, a streak of light shoots up thousands of meters into the sky from the top of the tower.

After reaching an altitude of 1,000 meters, the streak of light quickly dissipated, rippling out in all directions and forming a phantom resembling a protective shield.

Yes, a protective shield!

Through careful observation Gu Jinlai, it has been confirmed that there is indeed an energy shield covering an area of dozens of miles.

I just don't know what specific functions it has.

"This is truly... science fiction."

Gu Jinlai sighed, "If I hadn't already read through the complete legacy of the Creators, I would have thought the Creators were aliens with advanced technology."

At that moment, a beam of light shone down, forming a phantom image of a woman who appeared graceful and elegant.

"Oh, another successor has arrived?"

She said calmly, "I hope you succeed."

As she spoke, she simply waved her hand.

From Gu Jinlai the present, on this plaza-like platform beneath our feet, bursts of light began to shimmer with unique patterns.

Gu Jinlai hearing the woman's words, Gu Jinlai frowned. "Again? There have been people who passed through the three trials to reach this place of inheritance before? Could there be danger in the inheritance?"

You'll find out soon enough.

The woman did not answer.

"Wait a minute."

Gu Jinlai was about to say something, the surrounding light suddenly became dazzling.

Immediately Gu Jinlai, I felt that the environment had changed drastically, vaguely...

He actually felt as if he had entered a real spirit world.

Wrong!

"I've arrived in the real spirit world!?"

It has been somewhat alarming Gu Jinlai.

He actually entered the real spirit world without activating his True Spirit!?

"I hope you can guide His Majesty the Star Lord and become his new compass once again."

The woman muttered to herself.

"Coordinate!?"

Gu Jinlai, they have all come from Blue Star, and the amount of information they have received and the imagination they have developed far surpasses that of people in this world.

He quickly guessed what it was.

He suddenly looked up, staring at the illusory woman projected by light and shadow. "What you're looking for isn't a successor at all, but a beacon of the Dao, a beacon to guide the Aries Star Lord to descend, hoping to bring him back to reality from his lost place in the spirit world!"
