Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal

Chapter 285: Chapter 282: New Signal

Yellow State belonged to the front line of the battle against demons.

Although the great battle at Lingxiao City almost completely crushed the invading demons in Yellow State a month ago, those demons did not represent the entirety of the Tianhe demons.

Including the demons that had withdrawn from Yellow State back to Tianhe, the number of demons in Tianhe still exceeded ten thousand at this time.

These demons lurked within the vast and turbulent Tianhe, beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Even a Divinity Transformation Cultivator would not dare to enter the river and fight a common Great Demon.

Their flying swords faced enormous resistance in the water; a single mistake could lead to them being shattered by a Great Demon, inevitably resulting in a heavy blow to their Yin God.

It was the same for the Primordial Spirit True Monarchs.

Unable to completely eliminate the Tianhe demons, Gu Jinlai could only order Gu Luochen to construct a fortress at the most advantageous location in Yellow State, Champsosaurus Swamp, and he personally led two thousand elites and six thousand Demon God Guards to hold the position.

In addition, sixty Sword Heavy Cannons led by Heavenly Masters like Zhou Mingshi were left at Champsosaurus Swamp.

Once the fortress and the cannon platforms were completed, they would become the strongest shield against the invasion of demons.

...

At this time, on the road back to Lingxiao City, Gu Jinlai was accompanied by hundreds of trusted aides, all rushing at full speed.

As he hurried along, he pondered, "Although Zhou Mingshi is not a Great Heavenly Master, his experience can be considered seasoned. Moreover, the main task I have given him is not to snipe demons, but to search for the rifts of the Demon Realm in Tianhe."

During this period, Zhang Lihuo and others had determined that the rifts of the Demon Realm in Tianhe must have opened recently.

If Zhou Mingshi can locate the rift of the Demon Realm...

The Cheng Ying Mecha might be able to debut ahead of time.

Even if the Co-spirit Chengying Mecha cannot be completed in time, finishing a few more Mystic Bird Fighting Machines would greatly enhance their side’s combat power.

"There are not a few Demon God Guards, and there is also the Sword Heavy Artillery Unit led by Zhou Mingshi. However, the only Primordial Spirit True Monarch I have left there is Cheng Lixue..."

Gu Jinlai knew that Yellow State was different from Star State.

The situation in Star State was now peaceful, so even without a Primordial Spirit True Monarch in command, it was not much of a concern.

But in Yellow State...

Not just Yellow State.

Jiangzhou State was now also considered a frontline against overseas threats.

Lest the Island Masters of the Eastern Sea really become desperate, having only Xin Tianqi in Jiangzhou State was also insufficient.

"The main threat in Yellow State is still the demons, and I have left a full six thousand Demon God Guards there; together with sixty cannons, even if the remaining tens of thousands of demons in Tianhe were to swarm out, it would be enough to fight and win unless a Demon Demon King appears. However, if a Demon Demon King does come, the lucky qi of the Tianhe demons will inevitably surge, and I would not be unaware of it."

As Gu Jinlai spoke, he looked back toward Jiangzhou State: "Let Jing Yunshan go to Jiangzhou State to assist Xin Tianqi, and also send an additional five thousand Demon God Guards to Jiangzhou State. Although it cannot be said to be foolproof, it can strengthen the counterattack capabilities of Jiangzhou State."

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

Compared to other people who relied on the intelligence department to judge the situation, he had a significant advantage.

That was the Qi Observation Skill.

After achieving Small Achievement with the Qiantian Purple Qi Technique, the ’Qi’ he could observe was no longer confined within the boundaries of Star State. Around Star State, and even stretching across two Great States to Central State, he could vaguely make out some of the qi.

Later, when his Sect Technique reached Perfection, he could not only discern the strength and types of these qi, using them to judge whether the other party had hidden strength, but also make judgements based on the extension of qi when the other party chose to divide their forces.

In other words, if the overseas Lizhou State or the Tianhe demons really made a move, he could deduce it through Qi Observation.

He could even determine the extent of the force the other party had deployed.

"The Qiantian Purple Qi Technique, truly worthy of being the Daqian Royal Family’s Technique, was not in vain that I had invested hundreds of paths of Qingguang into this technique," he said.

Gu Jinlai gathered his Divine Sense.

He needed to rush back to Lingxiao City as soon as possible.

There were still many things in Lingxiao City awaiting his attention.

The most important of which was purifying the demonic nature from the Demon Blood Essence.

All of the eleven thousand Demon God Guards he had were dispatched.

Although Zhang Lihuo also had the ability to purify demonic nature, firstly, his effectiveness was slow; secondly, he was responsible for manufacturing the prototype of the Cheng Ying Mecha, and Gu Jinlai did not want to disturb him.

"According to the news from Lingxiao City, if I can help those prospective Demon God Guards complete the refinement of the Demon Blood Essence, Lingxiao City will have an additional seven thousand Official Demon God Guards," he remarked.

Gu Jinlai calculated briefly.

With the existing eleven thousand Demon God Guards, plus those seven thousand that would be cultivated later on!

By then, the total number of Demon God Guards under Lingxiao City’s jurisdiction would reach a staggering eighteen thousand.

This was equivalent to having eighteen thousand individuals, each with a terrifying power comparable to the Gang Condensation Realm.

...

Several days later.

Gu Jinlai rode the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus back to the boundaries of Lingxiao City.

Cheers were continuous along the way.

It seemed that everyone who witnessed the mighty form of the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus knew it was his mount, filled with cheers and shouts all along the way.

However, Gu Jinlai didn’t return to Lingxiao City immediately. Instead, he made a trip to Qiushan Mountain.

Well before the great battle in Blue State, Blue Star had already transmitted the data on electromagnetic and laser cannons. Gu Jinlai had been delayed for nearly two months outside, and the data had long been sent over.

He reviewed the data and found they were comprehensive and authentic-looking and seemed to naturally align with the Mystic Bird Fighting Machine, the Qingluan Mother Ship, and even the Cheng Ying Mecha. He nodded in satisfaction.

"It seems that Blue Star has already verified the data I sent earlier; they didn’t just brush me off with some problem-riddled data."

With these words, Gu Jinlai, who had already translated the Qingluan Mother Ship and Cheng Ying Mecha blueprints, sent them over.

This document was not detailed, but it solved the biggest problems for the Qingluan Mother Ship and the Cheng Ying Mecha.

The anti-gravity field.

And the solution was spiritual ability technology.

Once Blue Star could master the "anti-gravity field" through spiritual ability technology, their science and technology would definitely rise to a new level.

"The reason why the Mystic Bird Fighting Machine can take off and land vertically is because it uses Void Stone, a top-notch spiritual material. The Heavenly Master activates the Void Stone with his Spiritual Sense, allowing the Mystic Bird Fighting Machine to levitate. This trait is... almost the same as an anti-gravity field, there shouldn’t be a big problem, the key point now is whether they can find the right spiritual material."

Gu Jinlai pondered.

However, the problem was not significant.

Blue Star was, after all, a planet with a population of several billion, even tens of billions. The emanation and sedimentation of countless people’s spirituality meant that there would no shortage of spiritual materials.

Especially...

Gu Jinlai specifically spent a Qingguang to search his mind and found several resources that were suspected to be spiritual materials.

All they needed to do next was to find the right person to complete thought frequency synchronization, and then activate the spiritual materials under the condition of thought frequency synchronization of two, or even three, four people, which would naturally allow them to make use of spiritual ability technology indirectly.

"If Blue Star masters spiritual ability technology... masters the use of Spiritual Sense, they should be able to develop many related technologies and their applications. When the time comes, I just need to interact with them in a ’discussing’ manner, and I can learn all these technologies, thus fulfilling my goal of treating Blue Star as a technology reserve."

Gu Jinlai smiled slightly.

He was sending a series of notes on "spiritual ability technology."

Lastly, he added, "All things have spirits, and humans are the spiritual leaders of all things. Although this technology is somewhat difficult, I believe you have the potential to master it. Once you do, we can engage in equal-level technology exchange. Otherwise, I genuinely would not know how to explain many aspects to you."

After sending out this message, his eyes flickered with a hint of anticipation.

Yes.

Anticipation.

This anticipation stemmed not from anything else, but from...

The True Spirit Projection Technique of the Great Sun Heavenly Sect.

In the heyday of the Heavenly Master Civilization a thousand years ago, Heavenly Masters projected their True Spirits over thousands, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of miles through the True Spirit Projection Technique to attend meetings and engage in academic exchanges, thereby managing to keep abreast of worldwide affairs without leaving home.

If Blue Star really could master "Spiritual Ability Technology," he might be able to subtly guide Blue Star to build a signal base station similar to the Radiant Platform, to bear his True Spirit Projection Technique, thereby allowing him to return to Blue Star in the form of True Spirit Projection.

Even though it would be only his True Spirit returning...

At least, he could truly see his relatives on Blue Star.

"I hope the exchange goes smoothly."

Gu Jinlai said softly.

He looked at the recorded data and was about to return to the Military Workshop in Lingxiao City to study with Zhang Lihuo and the others.

At that moment, Gu Junxiu spoke, "Patriarch, there is another matter I’m not sure whether to report to you... We’ve received a few similar signals during this period."

"Hmm?"

Gu Jinlai’s expression became serious: "Where?"

Gu Junxiu quickly pulled up a signal and completed the translation.

"The translation form of this signal seems different. After we completed the translation, what we got..."

"No."

Gu Junxiu’s words were not finished when Gu Jinlai interrupted him: "The translation is complete."

He looked at the text.

Gu Junxiu doubted the translation because this text was starkly different from the script of the Central Earth Kingdom.

It came from the Star Shining Federation.

"Is tracking possible?"

"The signal is not very strong, but if the sending time is a bit longer, we can track their location and send a message."

Gu Junxiu said, looking at Gu Jinlai: "Patriarch, do we need to track the signal and establish contact with them?"

"Star Shining Federation..."

Gu Jinlai contemplated in his heart.

In comparison to the Central Earth Kingdom, the Star Shining Federation’s technology was much more advanced.

There was a gap of several decades between them in cutting-edge fields.

If he truly wanted to acquire the top-notch science and technology of Blue Star, the Star Shining Federation would actually be a better partner.

But...

Even though he had now crossed into this world, he still couldn’t deny the fact that he belonged to the Central Earth Kingdom on Blue Star.

"Track it, record the information they send, but there’s no need to establish contact."

Gu Jinlai commanded.

"Yes."

Gu Junxiu nodded.

Immediately, Gu Jinlai took the data on electromagnetic cannons and laser cannons and headed straight to Lingxiao City.

It was time to improve the Mystic Bird Fighting Machines, enhancing their output efficiency.

Furthermore...

The designs for the Truth and Justice Heavy Cannons could also be adjusted.
