Talent
Qian Tian.
Outside Lingxiao Palace.
After several years of construction, Lingxiao Palace has been completed.
However, since the Palace Master Gu Jinlai been nowhere to be found, the people have not yet moved into Lingxiao Palace. The center of this power is still the former Starlight City and Lingxiao City.
At this moment, on a high-rise building in Starlight City, Xin Tianqi looked out at the Lingxiao Palace complex with a hint of worry on his face.
Beside him, Cheng Wanli glanced at him and said, "Is Your Excellency still worried about the matter of the Ancient Palace Master?"
"It's been three months, and there's still no news. We can't help but be very worried."
Xin Tianqi sighed.
"Three months without news is not necessarily a bad thing."
Cheng Wanli said, "None of us would doubt that the Palace Master was able to pass the Aries Star Palace's test, would we?"
"Certainly."
Xin Tianqi firmly stated, "The Palace Master's talent in the Celestial Master path is unparalleled in the world. Zhang Tianjun and Zhou Tianjun personally asserted that if anyone in the entire Qiantian could obtain the inheritance of the Aries Star Lord, that person would be none other than the Palace Master."
"That's right."
Cheng Wanli smiled and spread his hands, "The two Heavenly Lords personally predicted that the Palace Master would definitely be able to pass the test of the Aries Star Palace and obtain the inheritance of the Aries Star Lord. Now that he has been gone for three months, it is obvious that he has completed the test and gone to receive the inheritance. As the Aries Star Lord's palace, the Aries Star Palace must contain very complete records of the Aries Star Lord's inheritance. It is not surprising that the Palace Master spends one or two months, or even three or four months to receive the inheritance."
Xin Tianqi glanced at Cheng Wanli but said nothing more.
Not only Cheng Wanli, but also Zhang Lihuo, Zhou Yi, Xiang Fengyun and other Heavenly Lords and Grand Masters.
Lu Zhanxian, Liu Jingtao, Leng Ningshuang, Cheng Lixue, Jing Yunshan and others thought the same thing.
Or rather, that's the only way to think about it.
The territory of Lingxiao Palace is too large.
Dominating the area south of the Milky Way.
With such a vast territory, if Gu Jinlai still alive, given his normal ability to pilot the Cheng Ying mecha, which is no less than that of a saint, and his combat power to unleash his trump card to kill three Demonic Beasts emperors, no force would dare to make any rash moves against Lingxiao Palace.
If it's proven Gu Jinlai that something unexpected happened during the trials conducted by the Aries constellation...
Not to mention the Demonic Beasts, immortals, and immortals of the Three Thousand Great Swamps, even the Great Qian imperial family, which has been behaving very friendly recently, will rush in at the fastest speed, under the slogan of restoring Tiannan, and completely annex Lingxiao Palace.
"Even if the Palace Master has indeed gone to receive the inheritance of the Aries Star Lord, the time should not be too long. If he still cannot return to Tiannan after a year..."
Xin Tianqi dared not think any further.
At that time, the situation south of Tianhe, which had finally stabilized, will inevitably fall into turmoil again.
At this moment, Tang Qing, who had taken over the Star Patrol Department and had already broken through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, rushed in from outside. "Star Lord... Palace Master... Something terrible has happened at the True Immortal Palace."
He quickly produced a report, "The Blood Demon Emperor Luo of the True Immortal Palace joined forces with the Three Pure Ones Palace to ambush and kill Xuan Tianzun. Unexpectedly, Xuan Tianzun turned the tables on him and lured him into a trap. In the end, the Blood Demon Emperor Luo suffered severe injuries and his immortal golden body was shattered. If he hadn't escaped with his life thanks to a treasure, he would probably have perished under the Heavenly Extreme Sword!"
"Has Blood Demon Dilu suffered a severe injury?"
Xin Tianqi immediately stepped forward, took the intelligence, and examined it carefully.
"The people from the Sanqing Palace originally wanted to cooperate with Di Luo, but Xuan Tianzun saw through their scheme in advance and sent Imperial Tutor Taiyuan to visit the Sanqing Palace in person, thus delaying them... This is why their joint ambush failed."
Tang Qing sighed, "It is said that Xuan Tianzun has already attacked the True Immortal Palace... Without Blood Demon Emperor Luo, how can Wu Tiandi withstand the sharpness of the Heavenly Sword? It seems that this force is about to become a thing of the past."
"Xuantianzun was actually able to defeat Diluo!?"
Xin Tianqi looked at the description in the intelligence report, somewhat incredulous. "How did he do that!?"
It should be noted that Blood Demon Emperor Luo is the senior brother of Heavenly Emperor, and his cultivation is so exquisite that he can be considered top among the saints.
Even the Wunian True Person of the Sanqing Hall, without divine weapons, was no match for him.
How could such a powerful figure, considered one of the top among the saints, be defeated by Xuan Tianzun, who was only at the Celestial Person Realm?
It's simply...
Unbelievable.
"Is Xuan Tianzun's talent... really that strong?"
Cheng Wanli, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but ask a question as well.
"He performed exceptionally well in the Frost Sword Sect back then. When he joined the Immortal Palace, which had not yet been merged, he cultivated to the True Lord level in just a few years, and then became Celestial Person in a few years... There is a saying in the Great Qian Dynasty that even the Beginningless True Person cannot compare to him in terms of talent."
As Tang Qing said this, a hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes. "It is said that when Imperial Tutor Taiyuan descended upon the Sanqing Palace, he originally intended to fight the two True Person, but after hearing that Xuan Tianzun had defeated the Immortal Golden Body of Blood Demon Emperor Luo, both sides stopped at the same time."
"Stop..."
Xin Tianqi pondered these words.
It took him a while to come to a conclusion.
"I'm scared."
He said in a deep voice, "The Imperial Tutor Taiyuan and the two True Person of the Sanqing Hall are somewhat afraid."
What's there to be afraid of!?
I'm afraid of Xuan Tianzun!
His talent is incredible.
Yet this prodigy with such extraordinary talent is not bound by any powerful forces.
Even...
With the deaths of everyone in the Frost Sword Sect, he was now all alone, with no ties to anyone in this world.
A person with no ties to the world, yet possessing such terrifying strength, and crucially, unparalleled talent—if he continues to grow, he will be unstoppable...
What if one day he feels the world is corrupt and stages a world-destroying spectacle? Who can stop him?!
It is likely that the Imperial Tutor Taiyuan and the two True Person of the Sanqing Hall took this into consideration, which is why they did not take any further action to escalate the conflict.
Because they saw the shadow of the Heavenly Emperor in Xuan Tianzun.
No!
Xuan Tianzun...
More terrifying than the Heavenly Emperor.
Cheng Wanli and Tang Qing, who were standing to the side, heard what Xin Tianqi said and more or less guessed his meaning, as well as the thoughts of the Imperial Tutor Taiyuan and the two sages of the Sanqing Hall.
"I suddenly understand why, when Xuan Tianzun suddenly appeared and displayed unparalleled power, his first target was Wushi True Person."
Xin Tian abandoned the Dao.
If he was the True Person Wushi who summoned all the True Immortals of the Land to besiege and kill the Heavenly Emperor back then...
Upon realizing that the Heavenly Sword Master, Xuan Tianzun, possesses such talent and will be even stronger than the Heavenly Emperor in the future, he will probably not hesitate to personally take action and annihilate him with overwhelming force.
Correspondingly.
Xuan Tianzun also guessed that, given his talent, once it was fully revealed, he would inevitably suffer a fatal blow from Wushi True Person.
Therefore, in order to survive, he exhausted all his energy and used Xuan Yue to infiltrate Wu Shi True Person's side and deliver a fatal blow.
"Humans are just too smart."
Xin Tianqi sighed.
Cheng Wanli and Tang Qing looked at each other in bewilderment.
"However, it is a good thing for us that the Blood Demon Emperor Luo's immortal golden body has been shattered. At least for a long time to come, we will not have to worry about the threat from the True Immortal Palace."
Xin Tian abandoned the Dao.
Cheng Wanli and Tang Qing nodded.
Now, all they can do is try to think positively.
Otherwise, even if the situation suddenly worsens, they would have no way to deal with it, regardless of the Gu Jinlai.
Ultimately, Lingxiao Palace only has one Celestial Person, Hongye, and its foundation is far inferior to those truly top-tier forces.
The changes in the heavens have been unknown Gu Jinlai.
He had already returned to his residence and taken out the newly acquired 590 portions of Thunder Magnetic Gold.
In the past two weeks, he has wiped out more than 30 forces of varying sizes.
Although as time went on, many forces, fearing his reputation, went into hiding with their Lineage's valuables, and some even concentrated their resources on the leading Martial Kings or Celestial Person Beings, temporarily keeping them away from Wind and Rain City, but...
After dealing with over thirty factions, the total value of the supplies he seized still reached an astonishing 8.2 billion.
8.2 billion.
This is almost enough to buy a Dao artifact.
Of course, Dao artifacts can be traded privately for only 10 billion, but if you want to buy them through official channels, in addition to various resources worth 10 billion, you also need 10 billion contribution points.
This significantly inflates the price of Dao artifacts and makes it more difficult for those saints who are unwilling to integrate into the Holy Dynasty's contribution value system to obtain them.
However, for martial artists, Dao artifacts are not cost-effective.
Furthermore, of the 8.2 billion, he could only keep 2 billion for his own use at most; the rest would have to be handed over.
Only...
Before any special orders are given from above, supplies are usually inventoried once a month.
There are still ten days until the next inventory. After Gu Jinlai sells the defensive quasi-Dao artifact, Yakumo Crystal, in Haifeng City, he just needs to make up for the misappropriated "public funds".
"Five hundred and ninety copies of Thunder Magnetic Yuan Gold."
Gu Jinlai took a deep breath.
He immediately activated the Eternal Furnace at full power, throwing in portions of Thunder Magnetic Elemental Gold.
During this period, he refined about three hundred portions of Thunder Magnetic Essence Gold, and he was already very familiar with the refining process.
Previously, it took more than an hour to refine ten portions, but now...
The time was compressed to less than half an hour.
In less than two days, all 590 portions of Thunder Magnetic Essence Gold had been refined by Gu Jinlai.
After all the Thunder Magnetic Essence was refined, he could clearly feel his own power.
Every move they make can easily attract thunder.
Moreover, deep within his body...
Or, on a more subtle level, it seems that some mysterious force is sprouting and growing, and when it grows to a certain extent, it will transform his body from the most primitive genetic level, causing his life essence to undergo a transformation from the inside out.
"After the Chaotic Star Body is fully formed, its life essence will transform into that of an innate divine beast... I'm still a little short... one hundred to two hundred portions of Thunder Magnetic Essence... or perhaps..."
Gu Jinlai, people have focused their attention on the spiritual world.
Use Qingguang.
The refined Thunder Magnetic Essence has barely reached the required standard. As long as he is willing to consume it at a higher rate, he can now use Clear Light to directly upgrade the Chaos Starlight Body to the Great Perfection.
