Chapter 271: Emperor Chapter 268 Blue State

True Understanding of Celestial Immortals can also be termed Heavenly Demon True Understanding.

It is the supreme magic skill summarized directly from the Sky Extreme Sword by Emperor Tianji in pursuance of reaching the Earthly True Immortal state based on his own comprehension.

Given that the magic skills leading to the state of Devas were in the hands of only those top sects, the inheritance value of becoming an Earthly True Immortal was almost immeasurable in monetary terms.

In the present world, aside from a few Divine Weapon Forces, no other forces possess an Earthly True Immortal level inheritance.

Nor is this an exception for powers like the Taiyi Sect, the Earth Mother Divine Sect, and the Tianhai Sword Sect, which have Devas in residence.

Even if it weren’t for the widely propagated magic skill of Immortal Golden Body for forging a Saint Body, many would not know how to achieve sainthood.

However, becoming a Saint, congealing a Saint Body is only one factor.

The most important is how to congeal an Undying Will.

This too is a secret kept only by a very few powers.

And if one could have the chance to comprehend the True Understanding of Celestial Immortals...

Be it the Undying Will or the Earthly True Immortal, the solutions to these issues might well be found within.

This is a temptation no force can refuse.

"You want to use the True Understanding of Celestial Immortals as a cause to lure people from the Ten Demonic Sects to attend the Divine Sword Grand Assembly?"

Wu Tiandi’s emotions fluctuated for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure, "Although the True Understanding of Celestial Immortals is not comparable to the Sky Extreme Sword, the master of the Sky Extreme Sword is but one, while the True Understanding of Celestial Immortals allows everyone an opportunity to consult it. Moreover, with fellow sect member swearing an oath of sincerity, other major sects should send their Primordial Spirit True Monarchs to attend the assembly."

The vow made by Di Luo was a Dao Heart Vow.

For Saints who wish to attain the Earthly True Immortal state, not only is an Undying Will necessary to perfect their cultivation, but they must also find their own Dao Fruit to achieve.

To violate the Dao Heart is akin to denying their inner Dao, causing their cultivation to perpetually stagnate at the Saint Stage, without any hope of reaching the realm of Earthly True Immortal.

It was precisely because of Di Luo’s protection through a Dao Heart Vow that forces like the Netherworld Sect, Purgatory Sect, and Cold Moon Sect planned boldly to participate.

Otherwise, once someone gained the recognition of the Sky Extreme Sword and Di Luo reneged, who would be capable of contesting his will?

Wu Tiandi acknowledged Di Luo’s point.

However, he quickly changed the topic, "But... how exactly are you planning to ensure that the other forces will unite under your command, follow your orders, and bond together as one? Surely fellow sect member doesn’t truly believe it’s out of a generous concern for the dire straits of the Ten Demonic Sects that you would contribute the True Understanding of Celestial Immortals for everyone to enhance their own strength?"

"I have my ways of making them obey," Di Luo said gravely. "You just need to cooperate well with me when the time comes."

"Is that so? Then I’ll be watching with great interest."

...

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The mounts like Horned Horses, Swift Dragons, T-Rexes, and even Mechanical Tyrannosauruses ran across the Earth, their thunderous roars echoing for miles.

The birds and beasts on either side of the road scattered in fear, anxious they’d be too slow and become prey to this marching army.

This was indeed a force coming from Star State, consisting of six thousand Official Demon God Guards and ten thousand Reserve Guards, all part of Gu Jinlai and his group.

Since it was a relief effort for the Cold Moon Sect in Blue State, Star State naturally could not deploy its full strength.

Aside from the troop count being only sixteen thousand, the Sword Heavy Cannons were also limited to just one hundred and eight.

Even so, the army was still a massive and imposing force to be reckoned with.

As the friendly reinforcements and some recently triumphant troops from Lingxiao City at Yuntian City, smashing the Tianhe Demons, everywhere Gu Jinlai passed, the Cold Moon Sect sent people out to provide support along the way.

Gu Jinlai did not stop this.

He also took this time to better understand the situation of the Cold Moon Sect while showcasing the majesty of Lingxiao City’s military formations in front of the people of the Cold Moon Sect.

A Refining God Elder was managing his reception.

Ample resources were moved out of the city for the Demon God Guards to use.

He and his disciples were constantly busy inside and out, aiming to serve well these reinforcement troops.

Given Lingxiao City’s current fame and its relationship with the Cold Moon Sect, should there be any slackness, if Gu Jinlai were to draw his sword and slay the elder, the Cold Moon Sect itself would probably applaud.

Watching this scene, Gu Jinlai couldn’t help but think back to when he had first arrived in this world.

"If it were the former Gu Jinlai... like this Cold Moon Sect elder, presiding alone over a city, governing millions as a Sealed Border Official, that would have been his limit."

Indeed, a state’s cities typically number only around a dozen or two, yet a top sect’s Refining God Elder far exceeds that number.

Those who truly manage to become the primary authority as a Refining God Elder in a city remain few.

And now...

Gu Jinlai’s gaze swept over the surroundings.

Not to mention those like Gu Chifeng, Gu Luochen, and Gu Qingmei, whose physical strength matched Intermediate War Generals, after digesting the aftermath of the battle at Yuntian City, his own ordinary War Generals numbered forty-one.

Even without specializing in swordsmanship or movement techniques, these forty-one persons were certainly no weaker in direct combat than the "Gu Jinlai" from the time he left the Purgatory Sect.

Which means, subordinates like the former "Gu Jinlai," he had forty-one.

The rest, such as those able to preside over a county as high-level Demon God Warriors, considered upper echelon as mid-level Demon God Warriors within a county, and many whom the public regarded as "skilled" ordinary Demon God Warriors, numbered well over ten thousand.

Having forged such a foundation in less than four years since arriving in this world seemed almost unbelievable to Gu Jinlai.

The days when he was chased by Zhengyi Dao’s Hugging Pill and Gang Condensation, even Qi Refining Realm disciples, seemed just like yesterday.

"Patriarch, are we resting here for the day, or shall we continue on?"

Gu Chifeng made a request.

Gu Jinlai gathered his divine sense and glanced into the distance, "Rest for a day, we must ensure we have enough combat power to join the battlefield when the time comes."

"Yes."

Gu Chifeng acknowledged and quickly made the arrangements.

After three years of growth, he had evolved from a green youth into a general capable of leading an army.

...

The Demon God Guards traveled much faster than ordinary armies.

Even with the Sword Heavy Cannons, it did not affect their speed whatsoever.

After all, this world was not ancient Blue Star.

Heavy cannons, weighing tens of tons, stuck in a mud pit and unable to get out?

Which of the Demon God Guards, who had achieved the rank of War General, could not lift them and simply walk on?

In such circumstances, it took only ten days for Gu Jinlai to cover three thousand miles and reach the southern border of the Cold Moon Sect.

Upon learning of Gu Jinlai’s arrival to provide reinforcements, Cold Moon Sect’s Sect Master Fang Linghai, the top Monarch-level Supreme Elder Leng Ningshuang, including the supporting elders from the Purgatory Sect and the Netherworld Sect, Supreme Elder Liu Jingtiao, and Supreme Elder Wu You personally led a group to greet him ten miles away.

"We have been waiting for Governor Gu for several months, and now you have finally arrived," they said.

"With Heavenly Monarch Gu here, we Blue State have hope," another added.

"Hahaha, with Governor Gu’s arrival, and the simultaneous firing of sharp swords, we will definitely crush these invading demons to smithereens. I can’t wait to witness the earth-shattering power of these war spiritual artifacts," Fang Linghai expressed eagerly.

One by one, the Primordial Spirit Monarchs greeted Gu Jinlai with immense politeness, their expressions filled with respect.

Even Liu Jingtiao was no exception.

During the battle at Dragon Sparrow Manor, the Purgatory Sect, Cold Moon Sect, and Netherworld Sect treated Gu Jinlai and his backing forces from Star State and Jiangzhou State as equals.

They acknowledged the leading force status of Lingxiao City and consequently recognized the leadership status of Gu Jinlai as the top force’s helmsman.

However, following the battle at Yuntian City, Gu Jinlai once again deployed his trump card obtained from the Aries Star Palace to annihilate the Champsosaurus King, and with almost no injuries, defeated seventy to eighty thousand Tianhe Demons. With such terrifying combat power, he had clearly risen above the Cold Moon Sect, Netherworld Sect, and Purgatory Sect.

Under these circumstances, the attitudes of the three forces’ Supreme Elders, including the helmsman of the Cold Moon Sect, Leng Ningshuang, underwent an imperceptible change.

"Thank you for welcoming us," said Gu Jinlai as he clasped his hands in greeting, "Your departure from the fortress won’t cause any issues there, will it?"

"The Demon Demon King of Mu State has not yet appeared. Although numerous upper-level demons have taken action and intend to divide their forces everywhere to break through, with the power of our nine Primordial Spirit Monarchs, we have always prevented these demons from succeeding easily," Leng Ningshuang replied.

Indeed.

Nine Primordial Spirit Monarchs.

Apart from Liu Jingtiao and Wu You, the Cold Moon Sect had seven great Monarchs.

Among these seven, Jing Yunshan and Cheng Lixue were Primordial Spirit Monarchs from Mu State. After Mu State was crushed, their sects were completely destroyed.

Unwilling to accept this, they fought and retreated, affiliating themselves with the Cold Moon Sect, serving as its vassals, seeking revenge against the demons.

Aside from those two Primordial Spirit Monarchs, there were five more great Monarchs in the Cold Moon Sect.

Fang Daoqian, similar to Leng Ningshuang, was another top-tier Heavenly Monarch.

This scale of power took both the Yellow Sky Sect and the Purgatory Sect by surprise.

Apart from the Monarchs, the Cold Moon Sect’s Divinity Transformation Great Cultivators were also notably more talented than the common folk; the Refining God Immortals need not be mentioned furthermore.

Under these life-or-death circumstances, the Cold Moon Sect had already exposed all its hidden powers.

"Time is of the essence. I’ll explain my tactics now," Gu Jinlai said as he waved his hand. Quickly, Gu Chifeng spread out a map in front of everyone.

"The demons have always viewed Heavenly Masters and Heavenly Monarchs as a major threat. Now that I’ve arrived in Blue State, that respected Demon Demon King is likely to make a move. To ensure that we can severely damage these demons, I’ve studied the map of Blue State extensively on my journey here. I plan to gather the demons at the front of Gourd Valley," he stated.

"Gourd Valley."

Fang Linghai quickly visualized the terrain of this valley in his mind.

Just like its name suggests, it’s a valley shaped like a gourd, with two narrow points.

But...

"Gourd Valley is a dead end," Fang Linghai said somberly.

"If it were not a dead end, if we were not using ourselves as bait, how could we lure the demons into the trap?" Gu Jinlai countered.

"We will fight a decisive battle here. The number of demons mobilized from Mu State this time is not much stronger than the Tianhe Demons. In Yuntian City, both I and the forces from Yellow Sky Sect were able to defeat the Tianhe Demons. Now, combining the forces of all four sides, I do not believe we will lose to these demons," he declared.

The others exchanged glances.

Riding on the momentum of a great victory at Yuntian City, Gu Jinlai’s words now carried significant weight.

If he now possessed such courage and decisiveness...

"Then we will risk our lives to accompany the gentleman!" they proclaimed.
