Sayings

"Lord of Aries".

Gu Jinlai took a deep breath of hot air.

During this time, in order to avoid being detected by the Aries Star Lord, he dared not use even a trace of his True Spirit power.

Unexpectedly, after hiding for more than half a year, it was finally going to be discovered.

The recent disturbance allowed Aries to pinpoint his approximate location. If he patiently continues his search...

He will be exposed.

Of course, he could also choose to escape as quickly as possible.

But...

But at this crucial moment, he couldn't leave.

Qi Sheng, Liu Feiyun, and others, along with tens of millions of refugees, are almost at Fengyu City. The Dragon Cry Demon Emperor has also summoned Demonic Beasts and completed his assembly, and will soon unleash a demonic tide that will sweep towards Fengyu City.

If he leaves at this time...

The entire Wind and Rain City will likely be destroyed.

The death toll will reach tens of millions.

Ultimately, this demonic tide was caused by his sweeping conquest of the Chilong Territory, resulting in the indirect deaths of tens of millions of people...

At that time, the Karma on his body will probably be as dark as that of Wu Tianya and others.

"True Spirit!"

Gu Jinlai, they have quietly entered the state of being children of the stars, increasing their harmony with the stars.

The Aries star lord was the biggest obstacle on his path to becoming a celestial master.

He and the ruler of Aries must make a decision.

When he improves the Creator's Cultivation Method and perfects the "Three Realms" in the future, his True Spirit will inevitably fluctuate, and at that time he will still have to face this Aries Star Lord.

It would be better to choose a favorable battlefield when you are well prepared and fight him to the death.

And that battlefield...

The Demon Realm!

"I have the complete memories of the Aries Star Lord in my mind, and I also know how the Aries Star Lord will transform me into the vessel for his descent, or rather, his incarnation. However, whether it is a vessel or an incarnation, there is a process of 'transformation'. This process is the key to our duel."

He recalled the scene when he used the power of the Clear Light to completely destroy the spiritual seed of the Aries Star Lord in the Demon Realm.

Let's compare it with the memories of the Aries ruler...

Ultimately, it came down to the forbidden creature, the "Void Beast."

"The core material of this forbidden weapon, besides the Demon Soul Crystal, is a spirit realm life form! The stronger the spirit realm life form, the more power it can contain from the Demon Soul Crystal, thus transforming it into a more powerful Void Beast! A weak Void Beast can only scratch the surface of a True Immortal, and it would take an unknown amount of time to completely obliterate one, while a powerful Void Beast..."

A glint of light flashed in his Gu Jinlai.

The next moment, the long-awaited Star Child trait was activated.

He clearly did not have the control token for the city-protecting formation, nor the guardian divine weapon to maintain its operation, yet the entire city-protecting formation still seemed to be under his control, operating spontaneously and shutting down the demon-binding formation of the Demon-Slaying Hall.

After deactivating the formation, he went forward to where Duanmu Shan, whose body was nowhere to be found, and took out the badly damaged Golden Bell artifact.

"It can still be used after some repairs."

Gu Jinlai glanced at him and nodded slightly.

Immediately afterwards, he reached out again and picked up the diamond-shaped crystal-like divine weapon.

"Buzz!"

The moment he touched the divine weapon, it suddenly trembled, and a faint power emanated from it, seemingly trying to penetrate him.

Before this force could penetrate, the Chaotic Starlight Body spontaneously activated, quickly forcing back the penetrating force and compressing it back.

"This is... a divine weapon recognizing its master?"

Gu Jinlai are astonished.

He had come into contact with the World Sword years ago, but the World Sword did not reveal any of its wonders in his hands.

Upon coming into contact with this rhombus-shaped divine weapon, he was quite surprised that the weapon took the initiative to recognize him as its master.

Especially...

The divine weapon wanted to acknowledge him as its master, but was clearly rejected by the Chaotic Astral Body.

He sensed it carefully for a moment and quickly realized what it was.

The certain characteristics of the chaotic astral body do not match this rhombus-shaped divine weapon.

People with different principles cannot work together.

The two forces are naturally mutually exclusive.

"Can't one person possess two Great Daos? Or can't one person wield two divine weapons simultaneously?"

After arriving at this conclusion, Gu Jinlai immediately thought of the Wushi True Person in the Sanqing Hall.

This former number one expert in Qiantian was simultaneously recognized as the master of two divine weapons, the World Sword and the Heart of the Stars.

So...

Could you explain?

Gu Jinlai, the answer was found in the memories of the Aries Star Lord.

"Two tigers cannot share one mountain, unless... one is strong and the other is weak."

The main divine weapon is a powerful divine weapon, and the secondary divine weapons are subdued and used by the main divine weapon.

"So... among these two divine weapons, the World Sword and the Heart of the Stars, there is one that, like the Heavenly Sword, is also a high-level divine weapon?"

But then he realized something was wrong.

If Wushi True Person also possessed a high-level divine weapon, why couldn't he defeat Tianji Dijun?

He then delved deeper into recalling the process by which the Aries and Libra lords forged the Celestial Sword...

The materials for the Celestial Sword...

Zhulong!

They are legendary even among innate divine beasts.

In the memories of the Aries Star Lord, the Celestial Sword was the strongest divine weapon he had ever forged!

The strongest!

This "strongest" likely refers to a high-level divine weapon!

It could also represent a top-tier divine weapon!

"Sizzle!"

From Gu Jinlai, streaks of lightning once again burst forth from his hands.

This is because the rhombus-shaped divine weapon was suppressed by the Chaotic Starlight Body when it tried to reclaim its master.

Considering that divine weapons are ultimately just external forces, and that his path differs from that of traditional cultivators, he quickly suppressed the idea of recognizing a divine weapon as his master.

Recognizing a divine weapon as its master is a path with no future.

Perhaps after he recognizes this divine weapon as his master, his strength will increase dramatically in a short period of time, and he may even be able to rival a Void Immortal.

But...

The conflict between the Way of Divine Weapons and the Chaotic Astral Body will inevitably lead to Qi Deviation.

He might have to abolish the Chaos Astral Body at that time.

With the Chaotic Astral Body destroyed, the Eternal Furnace, which had barely begun to show its power, will also sink into oblivion, and the true Creator's Cultivation Method, "Three Realms," will be even more out of reach.

Furthermore, he was well aware of the limitations of the Divine Weapon Path through the memories of the Aries Star Lord, so he decided to abandon this path.

As the array that had enveloped the Demon Slayer Hall dissipated, the Demon Slayer Hall, which resembled a purgatory, was exposed to everyone's perception.

However, this has been ignored Gu Jinlai.

"Speaking of divine weapons, there is another divine weapon in Wind and Rain City."

His figure soared into the air, looking towards the direction of the City Lord Mansion.

In just a moment, he sensed something.

Zhao Hua disappeared?

Then, something occurred to him.

Before she died, Duanmu Shan Curse not only him, but also Zhao Hua!?

Why did she also hate Zhao Hua so much?

Etc!

City-protecting formation?

From Gu Jinlai, people have vaguely guessed what it was.

As for how to verify it, that's simple.

He is currently in the state of the Child of the Stars, and has been in this state for some time.

With a flick of his wrist, the world seemed to change completely, and countless pieces of information and images flashed before his eyes.

This is information reading about the stars themselves.

Since the incident had just occurred, and given his previous experience searching for the Ouyang Aristocratic Clan in Haifeng City, the exchange between Zhao Hua and Wu Tianya was exposed to him in just a moment.

After understanding the reason, Gu Jinlai sighed.

"Damn it."

He was referring to Duanmu Shan, as well as Zhao Hua and Wu Tianya.

If he had initially held some hope for the Holy Dynasty's leadership, now...

Duanmu Shan's haughty arrogance had shattered all his hopes.

The superiors set an example for the inferiors; this is exactly the case.

In just over a decade, the entire Holy Dynasty has completely degenerated.

After a moment of silence, Gu Jinlai's thoughts raced, and he quickly sorted out the cause and effect of the matter.

His figure soared into the air and quickly arrived at a tall tower in the center of Wind and Rain City.

This is the control center of the protective formation of Wind and Rain City.

This place is usually under the jurisdiction of Zhao Liang, and there are also two Celestial Person and six Martial Kings stationed here, making it a heavily guarded area.

However, Zhao Liang had already escaped Fengyu City with Zhao Hua and Wu Tianya. Before leaving, he didn't even take his confidants with him, let alone inform these people.

Gu Jinlai descended, the two Celestial Person who were presiding over the central part of the formation rose into the air and bowed somewhat reservedly. "We are Liang Liang and Yun Chen, greetings to the City Lord Gu. We were unaware of your presence here..."

"During this period, due to the great resentment among the people of Fengyu City, the capital sent the Sixth Princess to investigate. As a result, she discovered that Zhao Hua, Wu Tianya, Jin Fantian, and Cao Wudao were colluding with Demonic Beasts to persecute the human race. Enraged, they immediately joined forces with Jin Fantian, Cao Wudao, and several martial saints to surround and kill the Sixth Princess and her bodyguard Gu Siliang. Although I arrived in time to rescue her, I was too late, and the princess was unfortunately killed."

Gu Jinlai, his expression showed some regret.

"The City Lord has joined forces with Commander Cao, the Martial Arts Academy Master, and the Golden Palace Master to ambush and kill Her Highness the Sixth Princess of the Royal Family?"

The two Celestial Person were completely bewildered upon hearing what had been said Gu Jinlai.

"Yes, Zhao Hua, Zhao Liang, and Wu Tianya have already fled to escape punishment. The demonic tide led by the Dragon Cry Demon Emperor has already surged. The southern cities are bound to be attacked by the demonic tide. A great battle is inevitable. In order to prevent Fengyu City from being leaderless, I, as the deputy city lord, naturally have to step forward without hesitation, take over Zhao Hua's position, and act as the city lord."

This Gu Jinlai.

Upon hearing this, the two Celestial Person's expressions changed.

Even the Martial Kings who were also present looked uneasy.

Behind each of them is almost always a different power or giant.

Of course, now, all the saints and martial saints behind them, except for Zhao Hua and Wu Tianya, have been killed, but they just don't know it.

Upon hearing that Gu Jinlai wanted to seize the position of city lord, the Celestial Person named Liang Liang couldn't help but say, "City Lord Gu, this is against the rules..."

Gu Jinlai at the crimson Karma on his body, too lazy to say anything more, and interrupted him directly, "Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Right now, City Lord Zhao and Martial Academy Master have fled in fear of punishment, and Army Master Cao, Palace Master Jin, and others have unfortunately perished. If a new city lord is not selected as soon as possible, Fengyu City will definitely be in chaos. If we are the first to lose our composure when the threat of the demonic tide is so close, Fengyu City may be in danger of collapsing when the demonic tide arrives."

"Lord Gu, the matter of the City Lord is of great importance. I think we should convene the other deputy city lords and domain lords to discuss it together..."

Liang Liang spoke again.

But before he could finish speaking, a blinding light burst forth across the heavens and earth.

A dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly erupted from Celestial Person Gu Jinlai's body, shattering his protective Spirit Artifact before he could react, and the violent energy turned his body into charred remains.

"In chaotic times, harsh measures are necessary! The demonic tide is approaching, and Storm City is in imminent danger. I don't have much time to waste on you!"

The voice from Gu Jinlai rang in the ears of the horrified group. "Now, I am the city lord of Wind and Rain City. Heed my command, maintain the city's protective array at all costs. For the next three days, Wind and Rain City will be sealed off inside and out. After I have cleared the Inner City and restored order, we will unite as one to fight against the demonic tide!"
