Hall of Creation

"Celestial Masters, so many Celestial Masters."

"At its peak a hundred years ago, our Qiantian only had one or two thousand Celestial Masters, but the number of Celestial Masters before us... is probably five or six thousand!?"

"The cultivation levels of each of those leading figures are unfathomable... Just where did the Palace Master bring such a group of powerful individuals from?!"

"I thought our Lingxiao Palace already contained all of the Palace Master's staff, but I never expected..."

Those True Lord, Grand Celestial Masters, Celestial Person, and Celestial Sovereigns who followed behind Gu Jinlai to welcome Chao Jiuyin and his entourage were all shaken as they watched the figures descend from the Blue Sky warship.

Especially Xin Tianqi and Lu Zhanxian, among others.

They had thought that their diligent development of Lingxiao Palace during this period had made it incredibly powerful.

There are over a thousand True Immortals in the Spirit Refining True Person, hundreds of Great Cultivators in the Spirit Transformation, and even nearly a hundred True Lords of the Primordial Spirit True Lord.

I just didn't expect...

These people from Lingxiao Palace, whom they considered to be full of powerful individuals, were actually inferior to the thousands of people carried on this warship.

The changes in the mindset of Xin Tianqi and others have not been given much thought, Gu Jinlai.

Even though he knew that the arrival of Chao Jiuyin, Liu Feiyun, Su Yu and their group would have a certain impact on the existing high-level officials of Lingxiao Palace, he still did not choose to hide or conceal them from the public.

The reason why the land of Qiantian has a population of one billion is firstly due to the expansion of the territory by the Great Qian Dynasty a hundred years ago and the century-long period of recuperation and development.

Secondly, the Celestial Person advantage of Qiantian was highlighted because the population of other holy sites and grotto-heavens had decreased significantly.

In fact, before the Demonic Beasts chaos broke out, each holy land governed three to five hundred million people.

The top experts possessed by those holy lands are often just a few True Immortals on the terrestrial level.

A hundred years ago, before the rise of Emperor Tai'a and others, Qiantian's territory was far smaller than it is now, and its population was only a few hundred million.

It wasn't exactly a bustling place to begin with.

Like a medium-sized country in the Black Sands of Blue Star.

What we need to do now, Gu Jinlai, is to let them go out and truly see the vast world and come into contact with the world's most advanced and cutting-edge technologies.

"They've come."

Gu Jinlai nodded to Chao Jiuyin and the others who were at the head of the group. He then led Zhang Lihuo, Zhou Yi, Zhang Yukun and others up and introduced them one by one.

Finally, he smiled and said, "Whether it's Master Chao Jiuyin or Master Xia Zhongzheng, they are both professionals in the field of nuclear fusion. With their help, the strengthening and improvement of the Cheng Ying mecha will definitely be able to be further promoted."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lihuo and Zhou Yi's eyes lit up immediately.

"Shouldn't you two have reached the Heavenly Monarch realm by now?"

Gu Jinlai asked Chao Jiuyin and Xia Zhongzheng again.

The two nodded and said to Jiuyin, "We are ultimately outsiders. The more outstanding we are in the Celestial Master's Hall, the more the Holy Dynasty's royal family fears us. That's why we never dared to step out of the Heavenly Monarch realm. Now that there are no more constraints... in as little as three months or as long as half a year, we will definitely be able to step into the Heavenly Monarch realm."

"Good."

Gu Jinlai took out a storage ring and handed it to Chao Jiuyin: "There are some Heavenly Spirit Pearls in here, which should be able to help you."

"Thank you very much, Immortal Gu."

Chao Jiuyin generously accepted the storage ring.

These Heavenly Pearls all came from the Aries Palace.

A portion of it has Gu Jinlai been given to Zhang Lihuo, and the profits have been distributed to Zhang Yukun, Si Tianyan, Guan Xingyun, Xiang Fengyun, and others.

This is another part.

Next, Gu Jinlai summoned Xin Tianqi again to settle Liu Feiyun and the others. He, along with Zhang Lihuo, Zhou Yi, and Chao Jiuyin and his group, went directly to the military factory.

Although many areas of the military factory are still under expansion, it is not difficult to accommodate more than 6,000 people by squeezing into the original area.

Because the demon god's personal guards have been transferred to the Gu Jinlai team, the construction progress of the entire factory is extremely fast. In just one or two months, everyone will be able to have their own private room.

Six months later, each Celestial Master was even able to have their own private laboratory.

In Aries.

Gu Jinlai, along with Chao Jiuyin, Xia Zhongzheng, Jin Hui, Yan Xingchen, and others, arrived here directly.

The memories of the Aries star have existed Gu Jinlai.

Before they arrived, he had already cleaned up and remodeled the rest of the palace, turning it into offices and laboratories, intending to make it the core research institute of Lingxiao Palace.

The Aries Star Palace was personally created by the Aries Star Lord, and the manpower and resources invested were no less than those of the grotto-heavens that those powerful forces spent hundreds of years building for their legacy.

In addition, the Aries Star Lord himself is skilled in crafting artifacts and teaching disciples, and after being specially modified from Gu Jinlai, the palace now has all kinds of scientific research facilities.

The palace appears to cover an area of less than 10,000 square meters from the outside, but its interior space, through extension, covers a total area of nearly 100 million square meters.

It is perfectly suited for use as a cutting-edge technology research institute.

After learning a little about the projection, simulation, calculation, and myriad spirit array functions of the Aries Star Palace, Chao Jiuyin, Xia Zhongzheng, Jin Hui, Yan Xingchen, and others couldn't help but show their ecstatic joy.

"This is fantastic! With a spirit assistant that's almost like a super artificial intelligence, a massive database that records almost all the materials in this world, plus near-perfect simulation capabilities and extraordinary computing speed... this is practically the testing ground that we researchers have been dreaming of."

"It truly lives up to its reputation as the palace left behind by the Lord of Aries. With such a palace, we Heavenly Lords can easily forge one Dao artifact after another."

"Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood. The facilities in this palace are more than ten times more complete than those in the Celestial Master's Hall."

Everyone was extremely satisfied with all of this.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Jinlai took out another book and handed it to Chao Jiuyin.

"This is the Nine Refinements of the Morning Light Visualization Method, which is the same as the Nine Refinements of the Morning Light Method that I passed on to you in the Holy Dynasty. However, in the past half month, I have optimized this Cultivation Method, not only greatly reducing the difficulty of cultivation, but also completing the Heavenly Monarch Path after the Grand Celestial Master."

This Gu Jinlai.

In the past two weeks, he has judged many evil people sent from all over Qiantian and gained a lot of spiritual light.

A portion of this was directly invested in optimizing the "Nine Refinements of the Morning Light Visualization Method".

He has undergone a significant change since he first created the Nine Refinements of the Morning Light Visualization Method, namely, the memories of the Aries Star Lord.

The reason why the Aries Star Lord is known as the head of the twelve creators of the Holy Land is because he taught a large number of disciples through his lectures.

From this perspective, this Creator's contribution to the Celestial Masters sect and its advancement of the Celestial Master system can be considered the greatest among the twelve Creators.

The rich teaching experience, after being integrated by Qingguang from Gu Jinlai, has greatly reduced the difficulty of cultivating the new "Nine Refinements of the Morning Light Visualization Method" and perfected the three major stages of Heavenly Monarch, Crystallization, and Peeping into the Real Spirit World.

Guan Xingyun, Zhang Yukun, Si Tianyan, Xiang Fengyun and others have already begun their cultivation. With the addition of items like the Heavenly Spirit Pearl, they should be able to cross the Heavenly Monarch realm in no time.

Chao Jiuyin, Xia Zhongzheng, and others were no exception.

"Thank you very much, Immortal Gu."

Chao Jiuyin said solemnly.

"No need to thank me. You just need to improve the performance of the Cheng Ying mecha as soon as possible, ensure that its overall performance can suppress the Void Immortal, and put it into production as soon as possible."

Gu Jinlai, they were led to a laboratory.

At this moment, three enormous mechs are under construction inside this laboratory.

Among them, the Chengying mech, which is the prototype, is the only physical machine with all the data. The other two are just empty shells that have been forged.

"The Shadow Mech!?"

Seeing this, Xia Zhongzheng's eyes lit up immediately, and he rushed over. "You guys actually built mechs!?"

"What we need to do now is to brainstorm and determine the specific model of the Cheng Ying mecha as quickly as possible, while maintaining the advantages of other models, and mass-produce the strongest batch of mechas for trial use."

Gu Jinlai, he said to Chao Jiuyin, "At that time, those more than six thousand Celestial Masters, plus the Celestial Masters from Lingxiao Palace, will basically all be involved in the forging of the first batch of mechs. You need to train them on this."

"I?"

Chao Jiuyin paused for a moment, then turned her gaze to Zhang Lihuo and Zhou Yi.

She was intelligent and had high emotional intelligence, so she could naturally tell that the Heavenly Master team in Gu Jinlai was originally led by these two Heavenly Lords.

Gu Jinlai noticed her gaze and smiled, saying, "I will rebuild the Lingxiao Palace. Under the Lingxiao Palace, there will be nine halls, one of which is the Creation Hall. The Creation Hall will have three academies: the Celestial Master Academy, the Research Academy, and the Creation Academy. The Celestial Master Academy will be mainly responsible for training Celestial Masters, the Research Academy will be used for the research and development of various weapons and tools, and the Creation Academy will be responsible for refining the developed tools. In addition, it will also undertake the task of refining Spirit Artifact."

He paused, then continued, "Due to the special nature of the Creation Hall, I will also be involved in the forging of some weapons. Therefore, I will serve as the Hall Master for the time being. Zhou Yi, you, and Zhang Lihuo will serve as the Dean of the Celestial Masters Academy, the Dean of the Research Institute, and the Dean of the Creation Institute, respectively."

He looked at Chao Jiuyin: "I wonder if you would be willing?"

If it were just the head of one of the three academies...

Chao Jiuyin nodded. "I'm willing."

Zhao Yushu, who had been standing almost invisible to the side, leaned closer and whispered, "Gu Xue... Palace Master Gu, may I also switch to cultivating the Nine Refinements of the Morning Light Visualization Method..."

"Can't."

Gu Jinlai, they have always refused outright.

Zhao Yushu was immediately disappointed.

But then Gu Jinlai laughed and said, "You are the head of the Audit Bureau that I have reserved. You will be directly attached to the important position of the Central Prince and will be responsible for auditing materials and checking the allocation of materials. It would be a waste to just let you be a minor celestial master."

"The head of the Auditor General!?"

Zhao Yushu's eyes widened.

In terms of position...

Is it on par with Chao Jiuyin now?

"Yes, the Central Hall will assist me, the Palace Master, in handling trivial matters. I will appoint Liu Feiyun as the Palace Master, and you will serve as the Director of the Audit Institute... At that time, the allocation and monitoring of some material applications will all depend on you. As a top student from Yunhai University who combines beauty and talent, this little thing will not be difficult for you."

He said with a smile, "Gu Jinlai."

"No problem! Leave it to me!"

Zhao Yushu excitedly agreed.

Gu Jinlai nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Chao Jiuyin and the others. "The Research Institute will have a heavy workload for the next period of time. I hope to see the Cheng Ying mecha finalized and put into production within three months."

Then, he turned to Zhang Lihuo: "I hope the Creation Academy will also make a plan. I require that within one year, the Creation Hall manufacture at least six Cheng Ying mechs! Within two years, the number of Cheng Ying mechs should exceed twenty! Within three years, the number of Cheng Ying mechs should exceed fifty! If you encounter any difficulties, just tell me, and I will help you solve them as soon as possible! Any questions?"

"I will not disappoint the Palace Master."

Chao Jiuyin and Zhang Lihuo both agreed.
