Creation Sect's Supreme Elder
Seeing the all-illuminating brilliance shining from the horizon and the intense heat that could annihilate everything, Ye Yan and Jiang Yujian, the two True Immortals, couldn't help but step forward at the same time.
"This is..."
"A great Divine Ability! And it's eight great Divine Ability released in succession!?"
Great Divine Ability are nothing special.
Every true immortal can master it.
However, the Xuanxian Realm is plagued by a lack of Spiritual Qi.
Even a peak True Immortal could only unleash thirty to fifty times in one go without any external assistance.
But right now...
That 66-meter-tall steel machine actually unleashed eight attacks at once, each comparable to a great Divine Ability power!?
"Elder brother, what does Elder Ye think?"
Gu Jinlai have sought this question.
"Although these great Divine Ability have many drawbacks, their attack speed is significantly slower than that of the great Divine Ability released by true immortals, making it difficult to hit a moving true immortal, or even one in the Dao Proving Realm. However, if they are only used to break through cave heavens... their usefulness is no less than that of true immortals."
Ye Yan said with conviction.
"What if I told you that a single mech could fire hundreds of those kinds of projectiles when fully loaded, and launch them all in less than a minute?"
This Gu Jinlai.
"Completed over a hundred attacks at the level of a great Divine Ability in less than a minute..."
Ye Yan's pupils contracted slightly, then he said heavily, "If used to attack a cave heaven, its power is no less than that of a peak True Immortal!"
After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something and pondered for a moment, saying, "Although it has shortcomings in speed and defense, if we use the army-style combat to directly cover the target with dense firepower as you said before, the power it can produce is still astonishing. I'm afraid that three of these war machines... which you named 'Chengying', can be comparable to a true immortal."
"My plan is to use a sufficient number of Shadow Mechs for legion warfare."
Gu Jinlai nodded slightly. "Especially when attacking cave heavens and depleting the spiritual energy of others' cave heavens, the Cheng Ying mech is even more invincible."
As Ye Yan and Jiang Yujian recalled Gu Jinlai's previous introduction to the Cheng Ying mecha, their vision gradually brightened.
"Elder brother, I need you to focus all your efforts on manufacturing the Cheng Ying mech."
Gu Jinlai said, "During this period, I obtained a large amount of resources from the Cloud Soaring Sect. Combined with the resources of our Creation Sect itself, producing one hundred Cheng Ying mechs is not a problem."
"One hundred units..."
Jiang Yujian took a deep breath.
If the Creation Gate really does have hundreds of Shadow-Bearing Mechs...
That would be equivalent to dozens of true immortals.
When tackling difficult challenges, they are equivalent to hundreds of peak-level True Immortals.
This concentrated force...
Who can withstand it?!
Even powerful beings like Celestial Immortals, Dao Lords, or even Immortal Lords would be completely annihilated along with their grottoes under this terrifying barrage of firepower.
After a long pause, he suddenly remembered something, and his expression stiffened slightly. "To forge over a hundred Cheng Ying mechs, the spiritual energy required is definitely not a small amount. Even as my proficiency in manufacturing Cheng Ying mechs increases, it will still require activating the Heavenly Dao of Creation more than eighty times to create all one hundred mechs. In other words, it will require at least the equivalent of eighty spirit crystals..."
He did a quick calculation and soon smiled bitterly, "After breaking through to True Immortal, I have less than ten spirit crystals left. The number of spirit crystals that our Creation Sect has accumulated over the years is also only a dozen or so... less than a quarter of the eighty number."
"I will take care of the Spirit Crystal problem. You just need to focus all your energy on operating the Creation Heavenly Dao to produce the Shadow Mechs and the necessary fuel."
Gu Jinlai, pausing for a moment. "In addition, I will personally be responsible for training the pilots of the Cheng Ying mecha. The first batch will have 300 people, and the second batch will have 700 people. I will strive to have the Creation Sect have 300 mechas and 1,000 pilots within two years, and then sweep across the Flame River Road to further control the Northern Region. Then, based on the Northern Region, we will continue to advance to 1,000 mechas, 3,000 mechas, and tens of thousands of mechas."
"Tens of thousands of mechs..."
Ye Yan and Jiang Yujian thought about that scenario...
Tens of thousands of Cheng Ying mechs, with firepower equivalent to peak True Immortals, unleashed a barrage of cannons, firing shells as radiant as tens of thousands of suns and stars, illuminating the heavens and earth.
That kind of power...
Let alone controlling the Northern Region, even unifying the Xuanxian Realm and becoming its ruler is not a pipe dream.
At this moment, the two of them finally understood why, Gu Jinlai, they had been able to confidently say that they had led the Creation Sect to become the number one sect in the world.
Gu Jinlai spent a day testing the various performance aspects of the Cheng Ying mech.
The flight speed of the Cheng Ying mech is not slow.
Although its agility is inferior even to that of a Void Immortal, its straight-line speed is no less than that of a True Immortal.
Moreover, the materials used in this version of the Cheng Ying mecha are ultra-strong materials produced through the understanding of "nuclear force" Gu Jinlai. Although they cannot compare with top-tier materials such as immortal refined gold in terms of their supernatural properties, they are superior in terms of performance.
Similar to the self-regenerating properties of immortal adamantite, these materials can also possess these properties through programming.
In addition, the Cheng Ying mech is equipped with a repulsive shield with astonishing power, which can withstand Divine Ability at its maximum protective capacity.
When three, ten, thirty, or one hundred Cheng Ying mechs are together and form a formation, they can connect the repulsion shields into one, forming small, medium, large, and super-large repulsion fields. Among them, the medium-sized repulsion field can withstand several attacks from great Divine Ability, and the super-large repulsion field cannot be broken through by even great divine Divine Ability in a short period of time.
It is no exaggeration to say that just ten of these mechs would be enough to wipe out all the military forces on Blue Star.
Blue Star has no power to resist except to launch a saturation attack with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of nuclear bombs to destroy everything.
"Next, Elder Brother only needs to do his best to activate the Heavenly Dao and produce the Cheng Ying Mech, while Elder Ye Yan needs to collect more materials for forging the mech as soon as possible. At least, before other forces react, we need to have the materials to produce more than a thousand mechs."
Gu Jinlai, Ye Yan, and Jiang Yujian returned to the sect, and he kept giving them instructions along the way.
"The materials for the Cheng Ying mecha are not precious strategic resources. Although we require a large quantity, since our Creation Sect is skilled in weapon crafting and maintains supply and demand relationships with many surrounding sects, collecting the production materials for a thousand mechas is not difficult. It just takes some time."
Ye Yan nodded, his eyes gleaming.
The power of that Cheng Ying mecha had given him hope that the Creation Sect could rise again, reach its peak, and even surpass its peak.
At this moment, he was brimming with boundless energy.
"That's excellent."
Gu Jinlai, he thought of something and said, "We also need to try to repair our relationship with the Cloud Soaring Sect. The Cheng Ying Mech is not omnipotent. The pilots of the mech are ultimately just some Primordial Spirit and Returning Void Realm disciples. Moreover, it takes time from entering the mech to starting it up. If we encounter a surprise attack, we need True Immortals to step forward and provide those pilots with time to start the mech."
Ye Yan nodded. "We have now completely eradicated the Creation Sect. I will make a special trip to the Cloud Soaring Sect. When they understand the changes in our Creation Sect, the relationship between the two sides will surely be restored."
"That would be perfect."
Gu Jinlai spoke, he took out the Dao artifacts he had originally planned to use to cultivate relationships after entering the Myriad Stars Sword Sect from a storage ring on his body and handed them to Jiang Yujian: "You can decide how to distribute these Dao artifacts."
Jiang Yujian took the storage ring, looked inside, and his eyes widened immediately. "Third brother..."
"Take it, it's all for the Creation Gate."
This Gu Jinlai.
"Inside here..."
Ye Yan hesitated for a moment before asking a question.
Jiang Yujian showed him the storage ring.
Immediately, the Supreme Elder also trembled, almost failing to grasp the storage ring.
Because the first three items he sensed when he probed with his divine sense were all top-grade Dao artifacts!
This is a top-grade Dao artifact!
In the entire Creation Sect, there is only one top-grade Dao artifact!
That is the Creation Pill Furnace is specially used for alchemy.
After the civil war, only Ye Yan, a True Immortal, remained in charge of the Creation Sect, yet it was still not attacked by other forces. The first reason was the deterrence of the Creation Heavenly Dao.
The second one...
The Creation Sect is renowned for its mastery of both alchemy and artifacts, and maintains relatively friendly relations with many surrounding sects.
However, among the storage rings given out Gu Jinlai, there are three top-grade Dao artifacts alone. Calculated at the value of one hundred spirit crystals for a top-grade Dao artifact, this already exceeds the entire wealth of the Creation Sect.
Furthermore, if all these spirit crystals were used to nurture the Heavenly Dao, a Heavenly Dao could take shape and become a Dao Lord.
Ye Yan held the storage ring, unsure of what to say for a long time.
After a long while, he looked at Jiang Yujian again. "Now that you have come out of seclusion, it is not appropriate for Yufeng to continue acting as the sect leader. You should take over as the sect leader."
Jiang Yujian quickly understood his master's thoughts and nodded. "Our Creation Sect will surely usher in an unprecedented leap forward and realize the glory of its heyday. In the early days of our Creation Sect, True Immortals were just elders. Only Celestial Immortals and elders who made great contributions to the sect were qualified to serve as Supreme Elders."
"Therefore, it is no longer appropriate for me to serve as the Supreme Elder. I will request to be demoted to the rank of Elder."
As Ye Yan spoke, he turned his gaze back to Gu Jinlai: "Yu Feng has provided our Creation Sect with much help over the years, and now he has given us the opportunity to rise again and restore our former glory. His contributions are so great that he ranks among the top in the history of the Creation Sect. Therefore, I propose that Yu Feng become the Supreme Elder of our Creation Sect, and the only Supreme Elder at present. The Supreme Elder is supreme and noble, and has the right to make decisions on all matters, large and small, of the sect."
"I agree."
Jiang Yujian nodded without hesitation.
Gu Jinlai, who was listening to the conversation between the two, couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.
He was doing a good job as the acting leader, so how...
For no apparent reason, I've become a Supreme Elder again?
Even if we consider the age of this body, it's only less than eighty years old...
Is she really that old?
