Chapter 340: Chapter 337 The True Use of Void Projection Technique
Actively search for the Aries Star Palace.
After this thought emerged, Gu Jinlai instantly felt that it was highly feasible.
"The accumulation of my Spiritual Sense relies entirely on the Grand Sun Nine Refinement Visualization Method. Although the method isn’t bad, it’s clearly inferior compared to my current abilities. I was originally planning to have Star King send a letter to ’borrow’ the Magic Skill directly pointing to the creator’s inheritance from Daqian, but now it seems possible to pursue both at the same time."
Gu Jinlai said.
He wanted the creator’s inheritance from the Daqian Dynasty.
He also wanted the creator’s inheritance from the Aries Star Palace.
The more, the better.
Only then could he pool a wide range of ideas and use his unparalleled intelligence to create an even more powerful Heavenly Master Skill.
He might even carve out a new realm above the creator.
"With my current accumulation in the Heavenly Master Path, getting through the three challenges of the Aries Star Palace should not be too difficult... Once I pass the Aries Star Palace’s test, the gains will be more than just trivial."
Gu Jinlai immediately took out the Thousand-mile Light and Shadow Mirror and reestablished contact with Zhang Lihuo.
Very soon, the figure of Zhang Lihuo appeared in the Thousand-mile Light and Shadow Mirror.
"What does the Supreme Elder instruct? Do you need me to come over immediately?"
"No need, I am giving you all a task. From today on, seek out the whereabouts of the Aries Star Palace."
Gu Jinlai said, "Even though the Aries Star Palace may move about in Yunxiao, making it difficult to locate, Artifact Spirit Purple Sun has promised me that they would only operate in the Qiantian region. So if we concentrate on searching, we should be able to find some clues."
"Is the Supreme Elder planning to explore the realm of the creator?"
Zhang Lihuo quickly guessed something and responded immediately, "I will have someone analyze the movements of the Aries Star Palace right away."
"Hmm, if you need people, speak directly to Xin Tianqi."
Gu Jinlai added, and then closed the Thousand-mile Light and Shadow Mirror.
Whether it’s the creator’s inheritance from Daqian or the whereabouts of the Aries Star Palace, neither is a matter that will yield results in a short time.
Gu Jinlai glanced at the Qingguang surrounding Qing Lian.
Eighty-eight strands.
Previously, after slaying two Devas, eight Monarchs, and in this month, personally judging dozens of Hugging Pill and Refining God from the Cold Moon Sect, Netherworld Sect, and Purgatory Sect, including two Divinity Transformation Great Cultivators, he had accumulated eighty-eight strands of Qingguang.
This Qingguang...
Gu Jinlai contemplated as his gaze swept over the various Cultivation Techniques.
In his mind, flashes of the Divine Sword competition rewards crossed his thoughts.
Chaos True Demon Body?
Great Sun Demon God Body Refining Method?
True Understanding of Celestial Immortals?
The Magic Skills from the cultivator system could be set aside for now.
As for the Chaos True Demon Body...
Gu Jinlai pondered until suddenly his gaze landed on a particular orb of light.
He noticed this orb solely because of its color.
A golden orb.
"Void Projection Technique."
Gu Jinlai stared at the orb, "It’s a Skill similar to the Eternal Furnace, but its divine trait seems far inferior to the Eternal Furnace. Did I overlook something?"
After glancing at the abundant eighty-eight strands of Qingguang, he quickly drew one strand after another and infused them into the orb.
Now, he was wealthy in power.
Moreover, with his current strength, he wasn’t too concerned about external threats, so it wasn’t out of the question to waste some Qingguang to experiment.
Three strands, six strands, nine strands...
After feeding a large amount of Qingguang beforehand, Gu Jinlai used a total of twelve strands of Qingguang to advance this Skill to the small success level.
The small success level of the Void Projection Technique...
"Isn’t it still the Void Projection Technique? It simply puts less strain on me, allows me to project over greater distances, and now has the capability to search for residual spiritual essence, but beyond that...there’s nothing?"
Gu Jinlai frowned.
And this was, after all, a golden Skill.
Even after reaching small success, no trait had emerged?
"Could it be necessary to wait until it reaches great accomplishment?"
Considering how the Great Sun Demon God Body Refining Method, Grand Sun Nine Refinements Visualization Method, and the Eternal Furnace each derived traits that transformed waste into treasure, and became incredibly potent, Gu Jinlai once again poured Qingguang into this highly-ranked Void Projection Technique.
"If it’s a golden Skill, hopefully, it could endow me with a clone trait in the end, achieving the legendary feat of ’One Breath Turns Three Pure Ones’..."
Beside his own body, if he could create two avatars that were just like him, each piloting a Cheng Ying Mecha, that would seem to do the Void Projection Technique’s golden status justice.
Gu Jinlai patiently comprehended.
As he contemplated, Qingguang was rapidly depleted.
Ten strands, twenty strands, thirty strands, forty strands...
Finally, when Gu Jinlai had used up a total of sixty-four strands of Qingguang, the Skill underwent a transformation.
He gained a brand-new understanding of methods such as spirit positioning and coordinate localization.
As critical as at the moment when the Void Projection Technique was originally conceived — contact.
And akin to the profound and mysterious karma from mythology.
Or described in a science fiction state, akin to quantum entanglement.
"All who know me will leave traces; all who see me will bind karma."
Gu Jinlai murmured to himself.
The next moment, he directly entered the True Spirit Realm.
As he entered the True Spirit Realm, it seemed as if countless strands of Spirit Light appeared before him.
These strands of Spirit Light varied in strength and distance, their number utterly inconceivable.
He briefly sensed one that was stronger and closer than the others, and through this spiritual essence, immediately gained insight into a fragment of a scene.
With a thought...
The next moment, Gu Jinlai felt as if his spirit had crossed a barrier of non-existent time and space.
Like in human thought, traveling from one end of a planet to another is merely a matter of thought.
Or as if all "spirits" belong to a single whole.
When his "spirit" wished to travel there from here, it naturally completed the information exchange and arrived at the location where the other "spirit" resided.
Just like now...
The figure of Gu Jinlai directly appeared hundreds of miles away at Qiushan Mountain. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Here, Gu Junxiu was recording something.
And when he projected himself there, the first thing he projected onto...
Was actually Gu Junxiu’s body?
Was it like some secret possession?
Gu Jinlai quietly reflected on this state for a moment, and the next moment, he had already stepped out from Gu Junxiu’s body, starting to draw on the energy surrounding them.
When Gu Junxiu saw the cluster of light and shadow formed by special energy next to him, he was first on guard, then immediately tentatively asked, "Patriarch!?"
"It’s me."
Gu Jinlai responded.
At this moment, his expression was somewhat surprised.
His gaze was continuously surveying his surroundings.
This body...
It seemed to be a human habit to cause this body, formed through spiritual condensation, to receive information through sound waves, light, and shadow, and other means.
However, after making some adjustments, his hearing, vision, and sense of smell all underwent tremendous changes.
He could hear almost all frequencies of sound, perceive all angles of an object in a 360-degree fashion, and distinguish tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of different scents in the air.
Only when he truly continued in this manner did he, as a "human," feel very awkward and unaccustomed.
"So, the human form and habits are actually limiting my abilities right now?"
Gu Jinlai thought pensively.
However, Gu Junxiu did not notice Gu Jinlai’s contemplative state at this moment.
Seeing his arrival, Gu Junxiu was obviously invigorated, "Patriarch, did you come to inquire about the situation because I have received that entirely new signal again and again? In this period, I have received these signals six times, and I have recorded all the details, please take a look, Patriarch."
"A new signal?"
Gu Jinlai remembered this matter.
These signals also came from Blue Star, but not from the Central Earth Kingdom, instead from the Star Shining Federation.
"Let me take a look."
"Yes."
Gu Junxiu complied, quickly taking out the records he had translated.
Gu Jinlai reviewed each one, his expression soon showing a trace of surprise.
"The Star Shining Federation is attempting to establish contact with this world through some new method?"
He took a glance.
Then he quickly shook his head.
They were sending information to this world through electromagnetic signals; the likelihood of people in this world receiving them was nonsensical.
They didn’t even use such signal bands to begin with.
"Wait a minute."
At this time, Gu Jinlai seemed to have thought of something else.
It was not entirely impossible to receive these signals.
Those Heavenly Monarchs who could touch the True Spirit Realm could capture these signals and analyze them.
But...
Heavenly Monarchs who came in contact with the True Spirit Realm during the pinnacle of the Heavenly Master civilization a thousand years ago were more or less spokespeople under the creator.
In terms of the Purgatory Sect, Cold Moon Sect, and Netherworld Sect, they would at least be beings at the Divinity Transformation Level.
For the Star Shining Federation to send messages to this world and to be inadvertently caught by a third-step Heavenly Monarch of this world, the probability was smaller than winning a lottery.
"Coming back to that, compared to the Central Earth Kingdom, the Star Shining Federation possesses far more advanced technological skills; should I also go to the Star Shining Federation and see if I can bluff something out of them, perhaps get a war weapon even more powerful than the Cheng Ying Mecha?"
Gu Jinlai mused.
Just then, it seemed like he recalled something.
He suddenly stared at himself.
Or rather, he experienced the intertwining of his spirit with Gu Junxiu’s.
And through this intertwinement, he projected here, experiencing various changes and insights.
An idea he almost dared not consider emerged in his mind.
"Whoever knows me leaves a trace, whoever sees me bears karma."
Whoever knows me leaves a trace...
He had already established contact with Blue Star.
For that purpose, a command center for external civilization communication had even been established on the Blue Star side.
And the person in charge of that command center had engaged in communication with him more than once.
This perfectly met the criteria of "Whoever knows me leaves a trace, whoever sees me bears karma."
Then, could he use "him" as a bridge and with the Void Projection Technique, directly project himself onto Blue Star, and thereby...
Attain something akin to his longing to return to Blue Star?
At this thought, Gu Jinlai became restless.
To return to Blue Star!
To go back to Blue Star!
This...
Was the goal he had been unwilling to give up ever since he came to this world.
He had never expected that this goal would come so close to him.
With this notion, his consciousness returned immediately, and then he re-entered the True Spirit Realm, searching for matching targets one by one.
Blue Star!
Extremely far from Qiantian!
Then...
Gu Jinlai’s "perception" almost crossed the entire True Spirit Realm, landing on a faint spiritual fluctuation at the farthest reach that was almost negligible.
