Heavenly Palace No. 1

Fu Kui's path to enlightenment was not smooth.

From the Mount Kunlun to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, the Fu Kui for tens of thousands of kilometers.

Many of these things were things he had never encountered or even imagined before.

It was during this process that Fu Kui, who had originally embarked on this journey simply to seek the Dao, seemed to come to understand the Dao Ancestor's pursuit.

Such a thriving ecosystem, such a flourishing civilization, such a magnificent era...

If it weren't for that Dao Ancestor, I might never have seen these things.

For the first time in his life, Fu Kui stopped simply thinking about himself and began to try to understand the ideals and vision of that Dao Lord.

In this situation, when Fu Kui discovered that an external evil had invaded, he chose to imprison it.

This journey of seeking the Dao was also a process in which Fu Kui confronted, influenced, and eventually came to understand his Heart Demon.

"This is the Hundred Lands Mountain Range!"

Standing before the magnificent Grand Canal, Fu Kui gazed at the ships coming and going and sighed with emotion.

Compared to its initial roughness.

Today, the Hundred Lands Grand Canal has undergone numerous renovations and presents a highly modern style.

The two sides of the dam are Xirang and concrete, with huge ferry crossings arranged in a staggered pattern.

Besides these, the most striking features of this canal are its locks and hydroelectric power stations.

Just as he approached the canal, Fu Kui sensed the seemingly omnipresent yet highly regular electrical transmission.

Driven by his innate instincts as a thunder god, Fu Kui sought to absorb electricity that was different from lightning.

He then discovered that while this electricity appeared docile, it possessed a strong degree of exclusivity.

For Fu Kui, absorbing this electricity wouldn't be too difficult.

The problem is that once this power is absorbed, the entire power grid will experience a chain reaction due to the power shortage, which will in turn expose His current identity and location.

[This appears to be some kind of anti-theft measure...]

He instantly understood and couldn't help but Fu Kui in surprise.

This extremely complex power generation and transmission technology is not recorded in the Luo River Book.

This means that this technology is unique to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, and may even have been developed by the Mountain Folk themselves.

Fu Kui came here to seek the Dao, not to cause trouble, so naturally he wouldn't absorb this electricity.

In contrast, consider the Heart Demon within Fu Kui.

While it was equally amazed by the brilliant civilization built by mortals, its gaze was more focused on the gray-white "sphere" in the sky that resembled stars.

That is the "Sky Base Station" after numerous upgrades and renovations.

Of course, given its current capabilities and scale, it can already be called a [Circumstellar Construct].

To be honest, although this satellite is a low-altitude satellite, its altitude is far beyond what can be observed with the naked eye.

The Heart Demon was able to sense the existence of that satellite because it sensed a powerful Thor on it.

The Thor was stationed on the satellite, methodically controlling the various electronic signals transmitted by the [Voice Transmission Talisman].

Meanwhile, a significant portion of the electricity generated by power plants located throughout the Hundred Lands Mountain Range is transmitted to this satellite to maintain its normal operation.

"What is that?"

"How could its power be so great!?"

The Heart Demon's voice arrived as expected, and its astonishment also reached Fu Kui's ears.

As an inanimate object, the functions and capabilities of a satellite far exceed ordinary people's imagination.

With Thor presiding over it, the satellite could even unleash Heavenly Deity- level combat power to defend against any outsiders attempting to invade or spy on the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

"That is... the God of Wind and Thunder?"

Looking out over the horizon, Fu Kui quickly noticed the satellite as well.

Unlike the satellites that Li Boyang remembered.

Satellites born in this mythical era are actually more like a special kind of space station.

Especially when it doesn't need to be launched into high altitudes, the satellite would be several times larger than a satellite on Earth.

Not to mention that the space inside the satellite is also specially compressed, possessing a much larger volume than its exterior suggests.

At the very least, it can easily accommodate a full-time family's normal life.

[An alien deity?]

As high-frequency electronic signals were transmitted and converted, a muffled voice rang in Fu Kui's ears.

Immediately afterwards, a huge Huanglong's head emerged from the satellite.

When the entire upper body of the Huanglong emerged from the satellite, a pair of wings that blotted out the sky also unfolded.

It was like a giant emerging from a bowl.

The size contrast between the winged dragon and the satellite was quite subtle, giving it an unintentionally comical feel.

But once you notice those imposing eyes, the comical feeling transforms into a disturbing fear.

A pair of pupils flashed with striking lightning...

With each breath, the wind and thunder seemed to respond...

Fu Kui did not know the extent of the Heavenly Deity ' power, but he knew that ordinary Heavenly Deity would be no match for this winged dragon.

"I am Fu Kui, from Kunlun Thunder Marsh. My purpose in coming here is solely to seek the Dao from the Celestials!"

After a brief moment of astonishment, Fu Kui manipulated the lightning to transform it into high-frequency electronic signals, which he then transmitted back.

This is both a show of sincerity and a demonstration of power.

It is possible to capture the essence of electronic signals so quickly and put them into practical use.

It is evident that Fu Kui's talent and ability are exceptional, placing him among the top even among all the Thors.

[You have already cultivated your Primordial Spirit?]

The winged dragon... or rather, the Yinglong, widened its eyes in slight surprise.

This world is not lacking in exceptionally gifted beings, especially among the divine beings who are favored by heaven and earth.

However, the ability to convert high-frequency electronic signals so quickly can only mean that the other party has already cultivated Primordial Spirit, which is why they can so quickly understand and analyze the essence of electromagnetic waves.

[My name is Yinglong, and I am currently the garrison commander of Heavenly Palace No. 1.]

Since you've come seeking the Dao, you'll first need to obtain a pass from Lord Tiaoyao.

[That was a scripture of preaching, which clearly stated on what day and at what time the Celestial Person would preach.]

[If the date changes, the sermon will be revised accordingly.]

After a brief pause, Yinglong added.

[However, judging from your complex and conflicting desires, you must have already encountered your Heart Demon.]

Those Heart Demon are all manifestations of human desires, and it is not easy to subdue or expel them.

[The Celestial Person just finished expounding on the Way of Concentrating the Mind and Subduing Demons a few days ago; they probably won't be expounding on the same content again in the next few months.]

[So if you are still troubled by your Heart Demon...]

[You can visit the nearby Chiru Temple and ask the Chiru Goddess for a scroll of the Demon-Subduing Heart Sutra.]
