Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal
Chapter 705 - 649: Immense Wealth

Chapter 705: Chapter 649: Immense Wealth

The creator’s use of spiritual power was the pinnacle of perfection.

At least in the Longevity World and even in the Profound Immortal Realm, no living being could compare with them.

The valley enveloped in the formation seemed not artificially made but like a natural array, filled with various changes within.

Some transformations aimed directly at the spirit, confusing and leading others to exit the formation on their own accord, while they remained unaware of it themselves.

It’s like observing a single leaf fall to predict the coming of autumn.

What the creator did was present that leaf to others, making them believe autumn had arrived.

Yet, such arrangements, even after a thousand years, have not diminished much.

If Gu Jinlai didn’t have the memory of the Aries Star Lord, he would still be powerless to see through the true nature of this valley with his own abilities.

Even though he had already reached the extreme end of the Heavenly Master Path.

"Heavenly Monarch is indeed a broken path. Even those called Perfection among the Great Sky Lords still fall far short of the creator, just like a Great Sky Lord, in reality, cannot defeat even a Spirit Venerable, and in the Demon Realm, Spirit Venerables are divided into lower, middle, and upper tiers, with Dominator Level above them..."

Gu Jinlai pondered in his heart.

From this point of view, there should be a major realm difference between Heavenly Monarch and the creator.

Just as a Catastrophic-level Demon Spirit corresponds to a Demon King, and a Spirit Venerable corresponds to a Demon Emperor and even a Demon God.

With this thought, Gu Jinlai traversed the maze, heading straight to a cave.

This cave also had various arrangements divided into three layers: outer, middle, and inner.

The outer layer held the inheritance of an Earthly True Immortal.

The middle layer held the inheritance of a Great Sky Lord.

The inheritance of the Aries Star Lord was located in the inner layer.

If Gu Jinlai hadn’t been a Great Sky Lord and was practically searching according to the answers, even he might have had difficulty obtaining the true treasures left by the Aries Star Lord amidst such arrangements and many mazes and spirit-guiding tactics.

Fortunately, after spending most of the day, Gu Jinlai finally arrived at a palace somewhat similar to the Aries Star Palace.

"Although the Aries Star Lord left many treasures, there are not many that can provide me real assistance... This is also why I haven’t taken the time specifically to unearth these treasures over the years."

Gu Jinlai opened a grand door of the palace.

What appeared before him was a storage room.

The storage room held numerous exquisitely crafted treasure boxes.

He identified them, opened them one by one according to his memory, and soon he understood.

"A hundred Heavenly Spirit Pearls, thirty portions of Spirit Marrow Crystals, and besides these, ten portions of True Spirit Holy Water."

Gu Jinlai looked at these items.

Heavenly Spirit Pearls need no explanation—they could allow a Heavenly Master to skip the accumulation period and reach Heavenly Monarch directly.

Spirit Marrow Crystals were auxiliary Supreme Treasures for True Spirit Crystalization.

Usually, one crystal was enough to let a Heavenly Monarch complete True Spirit Crystalization, and even a Heavenly Monarch with lesser talent might just need two or three to reach the crystalization stage.

And here, there were thirty.

The remaining True Spirit Holy Water was even more precious.

It could directly enable a crystalized True Spirit to transform once more and thereby glimpse the True Spirit Realm.

With ten portions of True Spirit Holy Water, even a pig could reach the Third Step of Heavenly Monarch.

"These materials... if successful, could cultivate ten Three-step Heaven Monarchs."

Gu Jinlai said aloud.

In that case, the proficiency of Zhang Lihuo, Zhang Yukan, Si Tianyan, Guan Xingyun, Xiang Fengyun, and others on the Heavenly Master Path could keep up.

Otherwise, with the joining of the Heavenly Monarchs from the Holy Dynasty and the Immortal Countries, their presence in the Heavenly Master Hall had become increasingly diminished.

Gu Jinlai gathered all these items and then proceeded to another side hall.

At that moment, as if he remembered something, he changed direction and headed to another palace.

This palace was not like the others, maintaining an array that drew spiritual energy directly from the True Spirit Realm, converging it to the array’s center. About two meters above the center of the array was a colorful treasure bead.

The bead, no bigger than a pigeon egg, emanated fluctuations that slightly distorted the surrounding environment.

"Boundaryless Pearl."

Gu Jinlai held the bead in his hand and sensed it for a moment. Soon, a vast space inside, almost the size of a Grotto Heaven World, appeared in his perception.

Four li!

The space inside the bead stretched over four li.

The height also reached nearly three li.

Such a space could not be described by any Storage Treasure.

Even if Gu Jinlai were to throw a Demon God corpse inside, it would hardly cause any ripples.

However, within such a vast space, there now existed a mountain-like...

Demon God Body.

It wasn’t exactly a Demon God Body, but it had a nature similar to a giant divine weapon.

But its size far surpassed any divine weapon, reaching near the limits of what the Primordial World Pearl could contain.

And all the materials used, without exception, if placed in the Profound Immortal Realm, could make any Immortal Master curse them as a careless waste of heavenly materials.

To dismantle this Demon God-like giant divine weapon would likely yield billions of top-tier materials.

Yes! Billions, not millions!

This sum could buy ten Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sects without any problem.

But there was no way around it, the creators of that era were just that domineering.

"This is a body forged by Aries Star Lord for himself to walk in the Material World, but unfortunately... even after spending so much precious material, its combat power at best is only equivalent to a Supreme True Immortal. However, if someone were to control it and go to the Profound Immortal Realm... Profound Immortals would not be able to resist coming out to crush it and snatch it away,"

Gu Jinlai sighed.

Hundreds of millions of top-notch materials.

If you were to buy Spirit Crystals, you could buy a hundred thousand of them.

What does a hundred thousand Spirit Crystals mean!?

It means creating dozens of Heavenly Daos from nothing, cultivating dozens of Daoist Masters, top-notch Daoist Masters, and even Immortal Masters!

This is simply like flying an airplane made of gold in the sky above.

A tremendous wealth.

"They say Aries Star Lord excels at Artifact Refining, but from my point of view, the method he employs can indeed be described as recklessly extravagant, with so many top-notch materials... I could completely forge tens of thousands of elite Mechas with combat power comparable to True Immortals. And if tens of thousands of True Immortals were to rush forward, ten or eight Profound Immortals would be directly killed,"

Gu Jinlai remarked.

He had already planned to dismantle this Demon God Body that was purely piled up with top-notch resources.

Just then, as if he thought of something.

He remembered, the first time he used the Void Projection Technique to descend upon Xie Yusheng, wasn’t he studying some sort of Mecha?

Star Destroyer?

Theoretical speed reaching one-tenth the speed of light, defensive power so strong that it can withstand a nuclear explosion without a scratch, main weapon power so huge that a single shot could blast through a planet?

"Quite something."

His gaze once again shifted to the incredibly expensive Demon God Body.

Perhaps...

One could give it a try.

After all, he currently is not lacking in Cheng Ying Mechas.

The Immortal Countries and Holy Dynasties might lack masters, but they do not lack resources.

The materials sent to Qiantian each year could produce hundreds of Mechas.

But what limits the production speed of Mechas isn’t materials, but the number of Heavenly Masters and Heavenly Monarchs.

With Qiantian’s vast group of Heavenly Masters and Heavenly Monarchs, the current annual production rate of Cheng Ying Mechas is only about thirty or forty units, even if in the next few years the rate increases with proficiency, the annual output at best would be only fifty or sixty units.

The raw materials are more than sufficient; he does not lack the materials from the giant divine weapon body that Aries Star Lord used as a Material World body.

So when he has time, he really could try, borrowing some of Xie Yusheng’s brilliant ideas, to create that Star Destroyer Mecha.

Having obtained the Boundaryless Pearl, Gu Jinlai turned to another palace.

This palace contained Divine Weapons, Dao Artifacts, and even included weapons that Aries Star Lord experimented beyond Dao Artifacts, which might be called Immortal Artifacts.

And the method Aries Star Lord used to refine Immortal Artifacts was essentially to bring forth the new through the old on the foundation of Divine Weapons.

A way to forge weapons that would not constrain the cultivator’s Cultivation Path.

Unfortunately, until he became lost in the Spirit Realm, he had not figured out how to solve the conflict between the "Heavenly Dao" inherent in the weapons and the cultivator’s own "Dao."

"I wonder if there is anything stronger than a Supreme Dao Artifact in the Profound Immortal Realm, which could be called an Immortal Artifact since the Profound Immortal Realm may be barren now but was once flourishing in the past."

Gu Jinlai pondered, quickly collecting these Divine Weapons and Dao Artifacts of different natures.

Among them, he also obtained hundreds of giant divine weapons.

However, for the current Gu Jinlai, who is as powerful as a Saint, these giant divine weapons are somewhat beneath his consideration.

The performance of Cheng Ying Mechas has completely surpassed that of the giant divine weapons; the reason he took all those giant divine weapons was to dismantle them for refining raw materials.

After spending a day, Gu Jinlai repeatedly scavenged through the palace located in the mountains before he left satisfied.

"This place is quite suitable as a retreat; the mountains are beautiful and the water is clear, plus a natural Formation envelops the surroundings to ensure uninterrupted privacy."

Gu Jinlai glanced back.

However, considering he was no longer on Blue Star and didn’t need to hustle for a house anymore, he quickly retracted his gaze, soared into the sky, and swept over from above the Sky Dome.

A day later, he appeared outside a human settlement.

There was originally a town here with a population of hundreds of thousands, surrounded by Devils.

But the reason Devils hadn’t attacked the town was mainly to preserve a nurtured entity known as "Hope."

The town’s elite would quietly be active in this nurturing space, selecting the right people, revealing the truth of the world to them, and guiding them to join the ranks of the revolt.

Of course, due to the vast area and large population of this nurturing space, there were quite a few towns like this one.

The Devils tacitly allowed the existence of these towns to ensure the "vitality" of the inhabitants of the nurturing space.

Whenever a town grew to a certain size, a large number of Devils would mobilize to level the entire town to the ground, then establish new towns in other places, in a never-ending cycle.

But this time...

Gu Jinlai came to the town, and one by one, figures began to appear.

The leaders included Zhang Tianye, a True Immortal of the Immortal Country, as well as Duanmu Chengyun and Su Xin who had come with him intending to cling to a powerful coattail, and Liu Feiyun, who would naturally not be absent.

Beyond them were a host of Void Immortals, Saints, and Devas.

"Immortal Master Gu,"

"Supreme Elder,"

The crowd greeted him with respectful salutations.

"Everyone’s here."

Gu Jinlai nodded, looking toward the horizon, "Let’s begin the restoration of the Longevity World, starting with this largest Devil settlement in the Chen Domain."
