Chapter 150: Chapter 147: Lucky Qi
Gu Jinlai thought of the True Spirit Manifestation Method derived from the Perfection of the Grand Sun Nine Refinement Visualization Method.
Not long ago, when the Heavenly Sword Missile was introduced, he had considered using the True Spirit Manifestation Method to manually guide them by attaching to the missiles.
However, during a missile explosion, there would inevitably be a violent impact that could harm the True Spirit.
If he really did so, the precision and hit rate would greatly increase, but each missile explosion would at least require him to waste a Qingguang to recover the True Spirit.
Otherwise, if half of his True Spirit was gone in an instant, a single misstep could even damage his foundation.
It was like a person who had lost half their life; even if they could be saved, there would inevitably be hidden dangers.
But this True Spirit Projection Technique gave Gu Jinlai hope.
This secret technique could not divide the True Spirit into halves, quarters, tenths or even hundreds and thousands like the True Spirit Manifestation could, but...
It hardly caused any harm to oneself.
To say it was True Spirit Projection, but the True Spirit only acted as a catalyst, the actual consumption was of the Spiritual Sense.
The difference between the two was like the difference between combat on home soil and combat in a foreign land.
Essentially, both are great battles, but home soil combat, even if victorious, would cause destruction to one’s own country.
Foreign combat, on the other hand, no matter how fierce, would not harm one’s own fundamental interests.
"This secret technique is useful to me,"
Gu Jinlai collected it.
He planned to study this secret technique carefully.
"It’s good that the Venerable Daoist finds it useful,"
Zhang Lihuo felt relieved to see Gu Jinlai accept this Cultivation Technique. He was afraid that the group who came to Gu Jinlai’s service couldn’t demonstrate any value, then how could they be heavily employed by Gu Jinlai, and how could the Great Sun Heavenly Sect regain its former glory.
"The Records of the Devas you have presented are indeed thoughtful,"
Gu Jinlai took out a booklet: "This contains my detailed understanding of the Great Sun and is the essence of my Great Sun Core. Take it and study it carefully to see if you can rebuild your Great Sun Core. If there’s anything you don’t understand, come and ask me."
Great Sun Core?!
Zhang Lihuo was first taken aback at seeing Gu Jinlai take out this item, followed by immense excitement: "Thank you, Supreme Elder, for bestowing the technique."
He could not wait to skim through the booklet, despite not comprehending the terms hydrogen element, nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, and others mentioned inside, he had seen Gu Jinlai’s Great Sun Core.
If he could also possess a power of the Great Sun Core like Gu Jinlai, then in the future, he might even have the opportunity to reach the Heavenly Monarch Realm.
"Cultivate well. The Heavenly Monarch is a broader stage,"
Gu Jinlai instructed and departed with boxes of the records.
...
In the following period, while gradually strengthening his physique with the Eternal Furnace method, he also took out time to comprehend the True Spirit Projection Technique.
Moreover, he did not stop the cultivation of his Mental Realm.
This process lasted a month and finally...
On this day, Gu Jinlai, who had been simulating the Mysteriousness of Mental Realm through Co-spirit, suddenly comprehended its profundity.
All things have spirits.
The Heavenly Masters saw the spirits of the world as a whole, so why couldn’t all living beings do the same?
After the concept of "Cell Eternity" emerged in his mind, by analogy, he suddenly fell into a state of sudden enlightenment.
The spirit and the spirit can be seen as a whole.
All life composed of cells by countless living beings can be regarded as a whole.
Thus, the Will of All Living Beings can also be seen as a whole.
Using Co-spirit between spirits to unify wills and wills, thereby sensing the intentions of other people when targeted by malice, anger, or hatred, to further capture the traces left by this will and thus achieve precognition, uncovering the enemy’s assassination and stealth attacks.
Upon understanding this, Gu Jinlai felt a profound sense similar to the first time he had Co-spirit with a Short Range Defense Cannon.
At this moment, he could even vaguely perceive the good and evil intentions of others.
And when these intentions were aimed at him, they became clearer.
Especially when this targeting posed a lethal threat to him, his own will would give a premonition.
"Mental Realm!"
Gu Jinlai experienced this wondrous feeling.
It was a mode of operation more advanced than an interception system responding to radar scans.
It was almost like a keyword search in the digital world.
As soon as someone searches for this keyword, the engine immediately gives feedback.
Once someone holds malice towards him, the Mental Realm will also make him sense it.
"No wonder it’s said that reaching Mental Realm in Refining God is comparable to fighting Divinity Transformation,"
Gu Jinlai understood, "Divinity Transformation is merely the Primordial Spirit becoming strong enough to condense a Yin God, which can control the sword to slay enemies. As for perceiving crises, it’s not as intricate as Mental Realm. It’s like shooting arrows and intercepting incoming arrows — the levels of cultivation they represent are completely different."
After truly stepping into the Mental Realm, Gu Jinlai couldn’t help but shift his focus to cultivating the Tendency Realm.
And less than two days after stepping into the Mental Realm, Star King Jiang Chongshan came to visit.
At the same time, he brought with him a volume of scriptures.
"Heavenly Monarch Gu, ever since the last time you entered the Transformation Realm, I knew that cultivating the Mental Realm was only a matter of time for you, and after reaching the Mental Realm, you will need to proceed down the path of the Tendency Realm. This path is also the watershed between the world’s top masters and supreme experts," said Jiang Chongshan.
Gu Jinlai nodded in agreement.
The Mental Realm represented only Divinity Transformation, Primordial Spirit.
The Tendency Realm...
Corresponds to the Devas.
Not to mention the era when Divine Weapons had not yet appeared, even in this era after the Divine Weapons, the Devas are still among the most top-notch beings in the world.
Aside from the handful of Saints and that Master Wushi who had not appeared for decades, the Devas are the strongest in Daqian.
"Therefore, I specifically had someone turn over the archives in Starlight City, and finally, I am honored to have found this volume of records."
Jiang Chongshan handed over the scripture in his hand.
"Qiantian Purple Qi Technique."
Gu Jinlai took the scripture, glanced through it for a moment, and his eyes revealed a hint of surprise, "Lucky Qi?"
"Yes."
Jiang Chongshan said, "I didn’t find any information related to the cultivation and breakthrough techniques of the Devas Realm, but I did find this cultivation method of Lucky Qi. According to what I learned in the Imperial Family, for the Devas, comprehending the momentum of heaven and earth, and breaking through from the Mental Realm to the Tendency Realm, requires one’s own will to guide the will of all living beings, then merge the collective will into oneself, and thereby change the heaven and earth."
"Leading the will of all living beings with one’s own will..."
Gu Jinlai contemplated the mysteries of will, as if he had realized something.
"This method of cultivation is, in fact, the Condensation Technique of Lucky Qi, and what is Lucky Qi? The utilization of all things between heaven and earth is Lucky Qi, the empowerment of the individual with the collective will of all living beings is also Lucky Qi."
Jiang Chongshan said, "The Qiantian Purple Qi Holy Scripture is such a Cultivation Technique, which bases its cultivation on a thorough understanding of the Mental Realm, and moreover, ruling over at least a million people. With these two conditions met, one can conduct a grand sacrificial ceremony, using personal will to lead the collective will, to empower oneself with it, refining oneself, and then leveraging the momentum of heaven and earth, even to the point of reconstructing heaven and earth."
As he spoke, he remarked sentimentally, "This is far more subtle than the Devas comprehending the momentum of heaven and earth and using the power of heaven and earth for their own ends."
Hearing Jiang Chongshan’s words, Gu Jinlai felt that...
His own cultivation system seemed familiar.
It was like...
The Divine Dao!
The Dao of Faith!?
"Since ancient times, there have been sayings such as ’when the time comes, the force of heaven and earth are with us,’ ’unity of wills is a formidable strength,’ and ’man’s determination can conquer nature.’ Don’t the Heavenly Masters also call humans the ’All Things Spiritual Leader’? When countless hearts and minds converge, when countless beliefs and wills unite as one, the power released can change the heavens and earth, and rebuild landscapes," Jiang Chongshan said.
"Many top forces have records regarding the Devas’ Lucky Qi. If a Monarch is favored by heaven and earth, blessed with Lucky Qi, their hopes of becoming a Devas are much higher than those of other Monarchs. The Daqian Imperial Family, for instance, has never had a break in the transmission of Devas and Saints not because their talents are so exceptional, but mainly because they possess the Lucky Qi of the myriad beings of Daqian," he continued, and then added, "Emperor Tianji once wanted to usurp the Daqian Imperial Family and rebuild the landscape precisely because he had reached the zenith of Earthly True Immortal, and further cultivation meant Refining the Void and Harmonization, to attain the True Immortal Dao Fruit. This stage purportedly involves Devas Intersection, which is extremely dangerous —without sufficient Lucky Qi to accompany him, even an Earthly True Immortal would hardly escape a fate worse than death."
"Using this Cultivation Technique to leverage the power of Lucky Qi to break through the Tendency Realm..."
Although Gu Jinlai felt that such methods of cultivation were quite common in this world, methods similar to the Dao of Faith as a means of cultivation always seemed to him a bit awkward.
He worried that the incense might be toxic.
Therefore...
"Does Your Highness, the Star King, have a Cultivation Technique to help a Monarch break through to the Devas that I may peruse?" Gu Jinlai asked.
Jiang Chongshan shook his head, "My status does not warrant access to such top-secret techniques, and I was quite surprised to be able to find the Qiantian Purple Qi Technique."
As he spoke, he looked somewhat bewildered.
He had thought that Emperor Qian, given his insecure claim to the throne, would be extremely wary of them princes. But now it seemed this was not necessarily the case.
The Qiantian Purple Qi Technique was very likely left by Emperor Qian himself.
Especially considering that he had reached the peak of Refining God, with the Yin God soon to solidify, and yet there had been no reaction from Emperor Qian’s side... Perhaps...
Shaking his head, Jiang Chongshan dismissed these inappropriate thoughts and said, "Heavenly Monarch Gu, although the techniques of the Devas are precious, the Purgatory Sect will definitely have them... However, given your relationship with the Purgatory Sect, it’s probably not easy to ask for this kind of technique from them."
"Purgatory Sect..."
Gu Jinlai shook his head.
The Purgatory Sect would rather burn every scripture on the Devas before they’d leave half a word for Gu Jinlai.
If it weren’t for the fact that the Primordial Spirit True Monarchs of the Purgatory Sect had devoted all their time and energy to the Divine Sword contest, they probably would have sent a Primordial Spirit True Monarch to his doorstep to end him swiftly after the battle at Baihe City, after the death of Divinity Transformation Cultivator Tan Qingquan.
Obtaining scriptures on the Devas from the Purgatory Sect...
"Wait!"
All of a sudden, Gu Jinlai thought of something, "The Primordial Spirit True Monarchs of the Purgatory Sect currently have their hands full with the Divine Sword contest and have no time to worry about other matters. In other words... even if some of my actions are overbearing, as long as there is a suitable reason, the Purgatory Sect will still choose to endure it?"
A reason?
He had one!
Lin Xiao would be the perfect excuse to provoke a confrontation!
