Chapter 293: Chapter 290 Venerable Daoist Gu
Blue Star.
In a laboratory under the jurisdiction of the South Heavenly Gate project team.
Special recruits were gathered in the sealed rooms, in groups of three or two.
These individuals were experimental subjects found from across the nation in the past three months, all of whom met the criteria for "thought frequency synchronization."
After one or two months of nurturing and training, they were sent to this experimental site to work with some "spiritual materials" that had been collected.
"Group one prepare, immersive guidance."
"Group two in progress, hypnotic guidance."
"Group three thought synchronization in progress..."
In each of the fourteen rooms, people in groups of three or two melded their thoughts, ideas, and intentions into one through their most favorite and relaxing methods, overlapping with each other to achieve frequency synchronization.
Among these fourteen groups, there were couples, friends, siblings, and parent-child pairs.
In the laboratories where they were located, there were different spiritual materials.
Compared to the world that Gu Jinlai belonged to, even though Blue Star had some divine materials collected by humans, the usage and utilization rates were much lower. Therefore, in just three short months, they had not only collected many spiritual materials, but many of them were of the highest quality.
If these spiritual materials could be brought to Gu Jinlai’s side, he could have used them to pile up and create several Quasi-Dao Artifacts.
Due to the high quality of the spiritual materials, even though the fourteen groups of staff had only been trained for a short time, this experiment had three groups successfully making these spiritual materials exhibit their divinity.
Soon, the data from each experiment was transmitted to the South Heavenly Gate project team.
For a moment, the researchers in the project team could not help but exclaim in astonishment.
"That material known as ’Void Stone’ actually possesses a natural anti-gravity field!? How is that possible?"
"We have been working on memory metal, but that ’Jade Silver’ material, it feels as if it has really ’come to life’, able to repair itself under the stimulation of Spiritual Power Technology even when damaged to such an extent!"
"Incredible! Incredible! Spiritual Power Technology is just too unimaginable! I can hardly fathom just how powerful the Qian Star Civilization that possesses Spiritual Power Technology has become! Are they all creators?"
Lan Yuntian watched these experts exclaiming non-stop.
He could understand their shock at these materials.
However, now was clearly not the time to keep being shocked.
"Since you all now understand the magic of these spiritual materials and technologies, next, I need you to assess the feasibility of the ’Qingluan Mother Ship’ and the ’Cheng Ying Mecha’..."
Lan Yuntian’s voice echoed.
"Assess, we don’t need assessments to know that Spiritual Power Technology is a groundbreaking and splendid technology. This radically different new technology integrated with our existing scientific technologies will far exceed the effect of one plus one being greater than two."
The voice of Li Xingzhou resonated in the meeting room, "Just think, if we could incorporate some Void Stone into our fighter jets, we could easily achieve vertical takeoff and landing. If our rockets could be furnished with some ’Feather Liquid,’ their delivery efficiency would increase by several times. There’s also the ’Jade Silver’ material with its own healing effect and its amazingly fast recovery speed..."
At this, he excitedly spread his arms, "This is the beginning of a new era! The start of a great transformation! The changes brought to us by these spiritual materials and the accompanying Spiritual Power Technology will far exceed the previous three industrial revolutions, allowing us to make great leaps forward. In the future, whoever can master more advanced Spiritual Power Technology will possess limitless possibilities!"
Lan Yuntian looked at Li Xingzhou.
This expert, who was opposed to the "Qian Star people" not long ago, now...
Had made a complete one hundred and eighty degree turn in his stance.
"Spiritual Power Technology has indeed surpassed our imagination. They are like having transcended all external concepts, reaching directly to the most core and fundamental reality, akin to those nanotechnologies that claim to edit everything... No, Spiritual Power Technology is even stronger than nanotechnology."
From another position, Bai Xiangyang took a deep breath, "I cannot describe the greatness of this technology. Compared to ours, it is not on the same level, but judging from the divinity that Spiritual Power Technology has displayed so far, if this technology is developed further... it could even achieve wishes and create everything."
Listening to this, Zhao Shanhe and Wang Chixi exchanged glances.
They were already amazed by the display of Spiritual Power Technology, but even more astounding was the scientific team’s evaluation of this technology.
Wishes becoming reality, creating everything?
They were just short of saying that Spiritual Power Technology was an entire dimension higher than their existing scientific technology.
"So, if the ’Qian Star people’ truly intend us harm, how... would we resist?"
Wang Chixi’s gaze turned to Lan Yuntian, and he asked solemnly.
"How to resist?"
Lan Yuntian laughed bitterly, "Are you joking? A civilization capable of cosmic travel, what do you think, how can we resist? Maybe, with our current technology, we can’t even break through the defense of their outer material layer."
This answer, Wang Chixi, and Zhao Shanhe had anticipated.
Yet, hearing it directly from Lan Yuntian, as members of the Defense Bureau, they still felt somewhat reluctant to accept it.
"All we can do is maintain as friendly a relationship as possible with this ’Qian Star person,’ meet all his demands, and pray that he harbors no ill will towards humanity. Otherwise, with the nearly miraculous technology he controls that could make wishes come true, should he become our enemy, we will have no power to resist..."
Lan Yuntian said somewhat pessimistically.
Especially since he knew that what he said was the truth.
...
Purgatory Sect.
One of the Ten Great Demon Sects.
The de facto ruler of Red State’s thirty million people.
Almost the entire Red State revolves around the Purgatory Sect.
The Purgatory Sect itself boasts a hundred thousand disciples, while the population related to or dependent on the Purgatory Sect for existence and livelihood surpasses a million.
At this moment, in an elegant courtyard within the Purgatory Sect, a wealthy merchant with a young girl was speaking obsequiously to a woman seated in the place of honor.
"Miss Xia, as a True Disciple who has cultivated Gang Qi at such a young age, you stand out among the thousand True Disciples of the Purgatory Sect. If you were to ask, how could the recruitment steward dare not to give you face?"
"It’s not that I am unwilling to help, but Xiao Ya’s talent is just too poor."
The woman, referred to as "Miss Xia," glanced at the young girl behind the merchant: "She’s already twenty years old. If she were two years younger, or had already started the blood exchange, I might be able to do something. But she has not yet finished refining the organs, so to become an official disciple... it’s difficult!"
Her words filled the girl with guilt.
Body Refining, tempering the sinew, bone, and skin, was an incredibly tough process.
Above that, refining the organs involved Inner Refining of the five visceral organs.
The human visceral organs are extremely fragile, and any haste in this process could lead to the loss of all progress. So far, she had only refined her liver out of the heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, and lungs, while the six hollow organs had not even been started yet.
Not to mention the realm of blood exchange that followed.
She had already tried hard enough, practicing for over four hours every day and consuming a lot of tonics to nourish Qi and blood, and strengthen the internal organs, but the thought of progressing to the Blood Exchange Realm...
It was too difficult.
The merchant, however, upon hearing "Miss Xia" say "difficult" rather than impossible, suddenly brightened.
"It is my daughter’s lack of accomplishment, but recently I’ve acquired some Sky Snow Ginseng especially for her cultivation. With this medicine, I think she will soon complete the organ refining, and with a little guidance from Miss Xia, stepping into the Blood Exchange Realm shouldn’t be a problem."
Sky Snow Ginseng?
The woman’s expression wavered; this was a treasure worth nearly as much as Qi Refining Pills, valued at tens of thousands of silver taels.
Her family wielded power and influence, but due to the large number of family members, even though she had distinguished herself to become a True Disciple of the Purgatory Sect, she could only manage three to four thousand silver taels a year for her cultivation.
This was also because she was attractive and charismatic, and had several admirers supplying her with support.
"Forget it, forget it. Strictly speaking, our families are still somewhat related, and since you’re so earnest, I can’t very well refuse..."
The woman was weighing her options.
Yet before she could finish speaking, a voice already came from outside, "Miss Qin Xia, please dress up immediately and accompany me to the banquet."
A man then strode in, followed by several artists skilled in dressing people up.
"Uncle Chang..."
Qin Xia gestured for the merchant to step back and respectfully stood up to greet him.
Chang Zheng.
He was the confidant of her second uncle, and his influence was much greater than that of her, a mere member of the Qin family.
And her second uncle was none other than...
One of the most powerful figures in the Purgatory Sect—the Deputy Sect Master, Qin Li.
"Uncle Chang, what’s happened?"
Qin Xia allowed the artists to dress her while she inquired.
"You must be aware of the changes in the sect these past few days, right?"
"Yes, I know they have been cleaning everywhere, and many key places are covered with flowers. We’ve also been warned to tread carefully..."
Qin Xia quickly realized something, "Is some prestigious visitor coming to our Purgatory Sect?"
"Indeed."
Chang Zheng nodded, "The sect is personally hosting a banquet to welcome and honor this guest. Even the Supreme Elders will be present, and this guest, as well as the few younger generations accompanying him who have not yet found partners, if you can catch the eye of the guest or any of his young companions, your future will be limitless. Even reaching the Refining God level is certainly not out of the question."
"Even the Supreme Elders will be present!?"
Qin Xia’s beautiful eyes widened in shock, "Who... who is this senior? Could it be the Sect Master of a top-tier sect?"
"Even more prestigious than the Sect Masters of top-tier sects."
Chang Zheng spoke, his expression filled with reverence and awe, "He is the only Heavenly Monarch to breakthrough in Qiantian for forty years, the Fire Transmitter of the Heavenly Master Torch, the founder of the New Heavenly Master Sacred Land, developer of numerous top-notch War Spiritual Artifacts, leader of the Slaughter Army, ruler of Star State, Jiangzhou State, and Yellow State, and also, our Purgatory Sect’s fourth Venerable Daoist—Gu Jinlai, Venerable Daoist Gu!"
