Stargate
"Can't find it?"
The Gu Jinlai returned to the Holy Dynasty three days later, after Demonic Beasts had completely retreated.
He listened to what Zhao Piaomiao, who was talking to him, was saying, and his expression showed some surprise.
"Yes."
Zhao Piaomiao nodded.
Of the six peerless Void Immortals of the Holy Dynasty, only he and Si Wuyai remain here.
"When you sent me the message, I sent people to search in secret. They found that all the Demonic Beasts had actually retreated. They had spread outwards for 100,000 miles from the thirty-six outer cities, and there was not a single demon emperor in sight. Even the number of demon kings and demon lords was pitifully small, to the point that it was extremely difficult for us to capture a demon king or demon lord for questioning."
Zhao Piaomiao said cautiously, "However, according to the detection of our professionals, these Demonic Beasts... seem to have started to retreat immediately after we stopped attacking and led our elite troops to support the Immortal Kingdom. Because we were already short-handed at that time and shifted from offense to defense, we did not immediately realize their departure. Now, three or four days have passed, and it is not certain that we can catch up with them."
"It seems that these Demonic Beasts had planned to retreat, but they were afraid of exposing the 'God of the Underworld' and dared not act rashly. Only after learning that the peerless immortals of the Holy Dynasty had left did they immediately take action and transfer the 'God of the Underworld' as quickly as possible."
"I Gu Jinlai," Zhang Tianye said in a deep voice.
"The matter of the God of the Underworld is of great importance. Even if we can't catch up with them, we must find out where they have hidden the God of the Underworld."
Gu Jinlai, looking at Zhao Piaomiao, "I have important matters to attend to and cannot go to investigate personally. I will entrust this task to you. Once you discover the retreat location of these Demonic Beasts, notify me immediately."
"We understand."
Zhao Piaomiao nodded. "I think the direction these Demonic Beasts are retreating from... should be the Chen Domain! Most of the twelve domains have fallen into the hands of Demonic Beasts and become their territory. However, the main force of the Demonic Beasts is currently being held back by the Immortal Kingdom. If we send Void Immortals and Saints to infiltrate them, we can also find out some useful information. As soon as we make a discovery, I will report to the Ancient True Immortal immediately."
"Chenyu?"
Gu Jinlai hearing this, and then turned to Zhang Tianye: "The God of the Underworld is powerful, and it will probably be the people of your Immortal Kingdom who will have to step in."
"We understand the threat that a god of the underworld may pose. Once the Holy Dynasty finds the god of the underworld, even at the cost of temporarily shifting the battlefield of the Blood Swamp Demon Abyss to defense, we will definitely destroy that god of the underworld."
Zhang Tianye nodded.
Gu Jinlai that he now possesses the Void Projection Technique, even if he goes to the Xuanxian Realm, it doesn't mean he will completely sever his connection with this place, so he wasn't too worried.
In his territory, Qian Tian is now on a fast track of development, and significant results will surely be seen in one or two years, or even three years.
As for the Holy Dynasty...
With Su Shi'an and Ji Lie watching over Liuhuo City and Fengyu City, there's no need to worry about any problems arising.
However, no one knew what dangers awaited them on their journey to the Xuanxian Realm. Gu Jinlai summoned Su Shi'an, Ji Lie, and Liu Feiyun, Qi Sheng, and others who were also staying there, to explain the arrangements for the next few years.
Liuhuo City and Fengyu City will primarily serve as transit hubs, supplying various resources to Qiantian, enabling Qiantian to rapidly build up its army and produce a sufficient number of Xuan Bird fighters and Chengying mechs through industrialization and the development of celestial masters.
Once the number of Cheng Ying mechs in Qian Tian exceeds fifty, he will order Zhang Lihuo, Zhou Yi, and others to pilot the mechs as the main attackers, with the Holy Lord of Yinglong Holy Land assisting, to sweep across the area surrounding Qian Tian.
Of course, the specific outcome will depend on the progress of the Immortal Kingdom and the Demonic Beasts in the Blood Swamp Demon Abyss battlefield.
After finishing his explanation, Gu Jinlai seemed to have thought of something and activated the Void Projection Technique to project directly to Qiushan, which was far away in Qiantian.
They found Gu Junxiu, who was guarding Qiushan, and gave him the task of transmitting information to the "South Heavenly Gate Project Team" on Blue Star.
This information...
Naturally, it refers to the established data on the Chengying mecha, which has been standardized Gu Jinlai.
To manufacture the Cheng Ying mecha based on this information, some Celestial Master techniques were involved, which only Xie Yusheng on Blue Star could accomplish.
However, Xie Yusheng's attainments in the Celestial Master path are still shallow, or rather, his essence, energy, and spirit are not yet perfected, and he cannot yet transform into a Celestial Master. It will probably take some time before he can truly restore this Cheng Ying mecha.
This timeframe was reserved by Gu Jinlai to allow Xie Yusheng to gradually increase his influence within the True Immortal Research Institute.
Sui Mu Zhenxian has already had the Zhenxian Research Institute inscribe the formation. If Xie Yusheng doesn't keep an eye on things, who knows when he might be distracted and the Zhenxian from the Xuanxian Realm would have already descended upon Blue Star.
After explaining things clearly, Gu Jinlai avoided meeting with Taibai Zhenxian and others for the rest of the time, staying in seclusion to learn about the situation in the Xuanxian Realm and the information about the innate deities given to him by Zhao Xi.
These documents record the innate sacred path that those true immortals intended to attempt to take back then.
Thanks to the fact that the innate deities were still active in the realm of immortality back then, this information has provided much inspiration for Gu Jinlai.
This has also made Gu Jinlai vaguely aware of...
He actually went astray.
Or rather, it is a combination of innate divinity and the path of the Creator.
The chaotic astral body and the eternal furnace point to the innate divine.
The Art of Ingenuity and the Nebula Strategy point to the Creator.
The combination of the two creates a sense of incongruity.
Gu Jinlai the "Three Realms" with the lineages mentioned in these materials, I'm quite impressed with myself for being able to combine the two systems.
The thousands of beams of light were not wasted.
With this accumulation and sedimentation, three months passed in the blink of an eye.
In a remote mountain wilderness tens of thousands of miles away from the immortal realm.
Gu Jinlai by Zhao Xiyi's avatar, they arrived at this seemingly primitive canyon, devoid of any human traces.
This star gate was clearly very well hidden, so well hidden that Zhao Xi had to personally bring Gu Jinlai there before he felt at ease.
The two wandered around the canyon for a while, and the entire canyon seemed to be shrouded in a natural maze.
With their keen sense of spiritual energy Gu Jinlai, coupled with their unique vision of the real spirit world, they still couldn't discern anything special about this valley.
He followed Zhao Xi for more than ten minutes until they entered a small cave, where numerous traces of human construction came into view.
The cave entrance is narrow, but the interior space is enormous.
At the entrance stood three ethereal immortals dressed in black robes and carrying divine weapons.
When the three illusory immortals saw Zhao Xi arrive, even though it was just an avatar formed from a very small portion of his power, they still greeted him respectfully.
"Jumang, how is the Star Gate doing?"
Zhao Xi questioned the middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader among the three.
"We have been working on this special star gate ever since we received the Immortal Lord's order, and it is now ready to be opened."
Jumang said.
"Then let's begin. Although we have gained the upper hand on the Blood Abyss battlefield, the Demonic Beasts will surely have other tricks up their sleeves. They have cards to play, while we only have the Myriad Star Sword Sect left as a double-edged sword."
Zhao Xi said in a deep voice.
"We understand."
Jumang nodded and gestured to Gu Jinlai and Zhao Xi, saying, "Please follow me."
The two quickly entered the cave.
The further you go inside, the larger the cave becomes. By the time you reach the core area, the cave is over 600 meters long and wide and over 200 meters high.
In the very center of the cave, a stargate over sixty meters high, radiating invisible ripples, has been activated, and the vortex formed by spatial power is filled with a breathtaking allure.
At this moment, a dozen or so people were busy around the star gate.
Upon seeing the five people arrive, the group bowed in unison.
Gu Jinlai at them and was surprised to find that he could sense the aura of six True Spirit among these dozen or so people.
"Rumors have it that the Immortal Kingdom has specially cultivated a group of Heavenly Monarchs, firstly to test and perfect the path of the Creator, and secondly to deal with the Demonic Beasts transforming into Demonic Spirit spirits and fully invading the Realm of Immortality... There are six Heavenly Monarchs here now... It's not strange."
He murmured to himself Gu Jinlai.
Jumang stepped forward and spoke with one of the Heavenly Lords for a moment before turning his gaze to Zhao Xi and Gu Jinlai: "In another hour, the Star Gate will enter a relatively stable period, during which time travel will be possible. The next stable period will be in six hours. Of course, we can also wait for the next peak with a higher degree of stability, which, according to calculations, will be in four days."
Zhao Xi turned his attention to the Gu Jinlai.
"Three months have already been wasted, and I don't intend to delay any longer."
Gu Jinlai calmly replied, "In just one hour."
"Then in an hour."
Zhao Xi said in a deep voice.
They are not the creators, so they must be careful with such miraculous creations as stargates.
After saying that, he turned his gaze back to Gu Jinlai: "Let's rehearse the situation after entering the Xuanxian Realm again. First, you need to go to a coastal city called Cliff Corner City. Your identity is a cultivator from a small cultivation Lineage in the city who went out to seek immortality twenty years ago and returned after achieving some success..."
Gu Jinlai examined the props Zhao Xina had used to arrange his identity and nodded.
Over the past century, the Immortal Kingdom has sent three groups of people to the Xuanxian Realm. Although these three groups failed to successfully interfere with the operation of the Heavenly Dao of the Myriad Stars Sword Sect, they all managed to infiltrate the Myriad Stars Sword Sect successfully.
Furthermore, they prepared for failure before taking action and paved the way for those who followed.
This identity, Gu Jinlai and present, is one of the foundations laid twenty years ago.
"You can choose based on the situation at that time: whether to enter the Myriad Stars Sword Sect with the strength gained from Mahayana fortuitous opportunity overseas and cultivated to the Mahayana stage, vying for the qualification to enter the Myriad Stars Main Cave Heaven for further cultivation, or to be more cautious and gradually reveal your Primordial Spirit stage strength..."
Zhao Xi patiently explained the situation to people from Gu Jinlai the present.
There has been no rebuttal Gu Jinlai.
After talking for a while, Zhao Xi seemed to realize that he had been too long-winded and couldn't help but laugh, "Sorry, I lost my composure. I believe you can definitely do better than the first three groups of people."
Gu Jinlai, it has been known that the reason this immortal lord was so anxious and uncertain was because he took this mission too seriously.
Or perhaps...
The lessons learned from those three groups of people, all of whom perished, filled him with guilt. Therefore, he did not want to see the same tragedy happen to him, which is why he kept giving them instructions.
"The period of stability has arrived."
At this moment, Jumang suddenly gave a reminder.
"Please rest assured, Immortal Lord Zhao, I will complete the mission and return safely."
Gu Jinlai said something to Zhao Xi.
Zhao Xi looked at Gu Jinlai, opened his mouth as if to say something more, but in the end...
He couldn't say the words, but he nodded vigorously and said, "Take care."
"Wait for my good news."
Gu Jinlai, he turned and strode toward the Star Gate.
