Chapter 442: 438
"One Divine Power has reached Perfection,"
Gu Jinlai felt the changes brought by this perfected Divine Power.
This Divine Power, which was amplified by the derivative Divine Abilities of the Great Thunder Sword Technique, possessed formidable killing power and its accompanying paralysis effect could significantly impact the target, making it one of the superior Divine Powers among many.
Next...
Gu Jinlai glanced at the remaining nine beams of Qingguang, recalling numerous theories related to magnetic constraints from Blue Star.
The next moment, a beam of Qingguang entered the consciousness seated on Qing Lian, and instantly, these theories and the Mysterious Yuan Ci Divine Light continuously intersected and collided, producing a myriad of new Spirit Lights.
Ten seconds later, Gu Jinlai pondered slightly and looked at the "unnamed" light sphere, casting another ray of starlight into the miniature figure of a consciousness.
He felt that this Divine Power, colliding with the knowledge in his mind, had not yet been "optimized" to the utmost in those brief ten seconds.
Soon, the second beam of Qingguang was exhausted.
With momentum undiminished, Gu Jinlai cast the third beam of Qingguang.
After three complete optimizations, a Divine Power, significantly changed from the previous Yuan Ci Divine Light, finally took shape.
His gaze lingered on this Divine Power for a moment.
Compared to the Thunder Sword, the purple of the Yuan Ci Divine Light was clearly deeper.
It had nearly reached Deep Purple.
"Close to top-grade Divine Power?"
Gu Jinlai pondered.
Martial Arts Divine Power is light purple, Deva’s Divine Power is purple.
Deep Purple obviously signifies top-grade Divine Power.
As for Great Divine Power...
It would likely be categorized within the realm of golden light spheres.
After all, the method of combat for True Immortals involves using Great Divine Power.
However, compared to Earthly True Immortals, their release of Great Divine Power is faster, and the power is somewhat enhanced, without the need to charge up like those topmost Earthly True Immortals.
"The reason it nearly reached the level of top-grade Divine Power could be due to the influence of the concept of the Thunder Sword. Once I completely master this Divine Power, I will optimize both Divine Powers again, or even merge them, inevitably ’optimizing’ a true top-grade Divine Power," 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
Gu Jinlai looked at this light sphere, continued to name it Yuan Ci Divine Light, and cast the remaining six beams of Qingguang into it.
For a time, he felt as if he had invested decades of energy into the cultivation of this Divine Power.
All the applications and transformations of Yuan Ci Divine Light became crystal clear to him.
Yuan Ci Divine Light: entry-level → Small Achievement.
"Yuan Ci Divine Light originally targeted only Spiritual Artifacts, primarily functioning to suppress the damage they could inflict on me and even outright seize the opponent’s Spiritual Artifact. But with my modification, this Divine Power now has ’field’ traits, changing from a single-target attack to an area attack, and moreover, strengthening the ’field’s’ traits,"
Gu Jinlai’s mind flickered with Spirit Light.
This "field" could integrate with the Thunder Sword, allowing the power of the Thunder Sword to spread to every corner through the "field" and amplify the attack power of the Thunder Sword.
Moreover, when the force of the Chaotic Star Light Body is channeled into this "field" through electric currents, it will further enhance it, forming an electromagnetic field similar to a "domain."
The potential of this electromagnetic field...
Gu Jinlai thought of the Chaotic Star Light Body’s Star Magnetic Field.
If he could master a Divine Power that could stimulate the Star Magnetic Field and integrate it...
This electromagnetic "domain" would be enhanced to rival a top Divine Power.
And in the future, as he continuously advances his knowledge in the Chaotic Star Light Body, and the electric current propulsion is strengthened, it’s not impossible for the electromagnetic "domain" to become as powerful as the Heavenly Dragon Wood’s Great Divine Power—Thunderstorm.
"Externally, leveraging the Star Magnetic Field could display a power rivaling the Great Divine Power of a Thunderstorm, internally integrating with the Life Magnetic Field could create a force field that perfectly controls the power of the Eternal Furnace..."
As Gu Jinlai said this, he deeply felt the extraordinariness of this power.
Moreover, if he could continue his cultivation, further strengthening the Chaotic Star Light Body and the Eternal Furnace, enhancing the power output of these two techniques, the Eternal Furnace and Chaotic Star Light Body would genuinely transform into a Star Core, an embryonic Constant Star.
Then, the electromagnetic "domain" would also grow into a real Star Magnetic Field.
Just like a Constant Star’s Star Magnetic Field.
At this thought, even the greatly enhanced Gu Jinlai couldn’t help but be astonished.
The path ahead of him, at this moment, appeared clearer than ever before.
"I..."
Gu Jinlai wanted to say something, but his mind was still engrossed in that train of thought, unable to recover for a long time.
His focus quickly converged on the Chaotic Star Light Body and the Eternal Furnace.
The resonance between these two golden techniques became even clearer.
It seemed eager to merge, transforming into a new technique.
And the factor limiting their transformation into a new technique...
was him.
Once the two techniques merged, the already formidable Eternal Furnace would inevitably be further strengthened.
By then, the enhanced Eternal Furnace would be enough to burst his body.
Just like a regular person would use a lighter to light a cigarette, but if he completed the technique fusion and then tried to light it...
It would be like directly detonating a hydrogen bomb.
Because of this reason, although the resonance of the two techniques was incredibly clear, they had yet to merge into one.
The Eternal Furnace was waiting.
Or rather, his deep enlightenment controlled the Eternal Furnace, commanding it to patiently await the perfection of the Chaotic Star Light Body.
The Chaotic Star Light Body was nearly akin to cultivating him as an Innate Divine Beast.
This path was one of evolving towards a certain Innate Divine Beast.
Only when he had completely evolved his own essence into that of an Innate Divine Beast would the Chaotic Star Light Body and the Eternal Furnace truly have a foundation to merge.
"Phew."
Having understood these changes, Gu Jinlai let out a long breath.
In the future, he would be very strong.
So powerful that he could even...
Transform into a Constant Star.
As long as his "essence" could bear it.
"Thunder Sword, Primordial Magnetic Divine Light, a Divine Power involving the Star Magnetic Field, Chaotic Star Light Body..."
These magic skills flashed through Gu Jinlai’s mind.
Among these skills, to acquire Primordial Magnetic Divine Light and the Divine Power involving the Star Magnetic Field, one only needed enough Contribution Points and Qingguang to complete the exchange and cultivation.
But the Chaotic Star Light Body...
Would still require eight or nine hundred pieces of Thunder Magnetic Elemental Gold.
Of course, he could also rush into a thunderstorm and cultivate the Thunder Power, but it was much less efficient compared to refining the Thunder Magnetic Element Gold.
"The battle at Thunder Origin Sect was an ambush against me by the folks of the Bai Family, and all the spoils of war seized belong to me, with a total value exceeding two billion... But of these two billion, the Quasi-Dao Artifact level Spiritual Artifact needs to be set aside, exchanged for a Quasi-Dao Artifact Level Battle Sword suited for me, along with some Supreme Grade Spiritual Artifacts I also need to keep, leaving only about one billion truly at my disposal," Gu Jinlai calculated.
In fact, the resources he had seized previously in the name of the Law Enforcement Court from families such as the Fang Family, the Wan Family, and the Bai Family should have mostly been handed over to Wind and Rain City. Even if the Law Enforcement Court could retain some, keeping ten to twenty percent, at most thirty percent, was the limit.
However, at that time, he was in a rush to exchange them for Divine Powers and Techniques by turning them into Contribution Points privately.
If the higher-ups of Wind and Rain City were to investigate, they could hold him accountable.
"There are priorities in emergency situations; the circumstances then were special, and I urgently needed to make myself stronger quickly. Thus weighing pros and cons, I repurposed public resources privately for Techniques, but now that I have enough war spoils, I should cover this deficit just in case," Gu Jinlai decided in his heart.
Although if the higher-ups of Wind and Rain City wanted to go against him, they could come up with a hundred ways to do so, as long as he kept to ethics, he would have room to maneuver.
If the matter was completely blown up, causing significant impact, even the Wind and Rain City Lord would face considerable trouble.
With this thought, he soon arrived at the Law Enforcement Court in the Southeast Outer City District.
At this time, An Yu was already waiting here with a group of law enforcement officers.
Seeing Gu Jinlai, who already knew the cause and effect, he quickly stepped forward and admired Gu Jinlai somewhat, "Dean, we..."
"Head to the Zhang Family."
Gu Jinlai said without hesitation.
"Yes."
An Yu responded.
A group of dozens quickly entered the city, heading straight for the Zhang Family.
...
The Bai Family and Zhang Family’s joint operation with Thunder Origin Sect to kill Gu Jinlai was unknown to others, but the individuals involved from the Bai and Zhang families were clearly aware.
When they learned that Bai Fengyu, Zhang Zhongshan, and the other nine powerhouses had all failed to kill Gu Jinlai, everyone in the Zhang Family felt as though the sky had fallen.
Zhang Chongyue, who was presiding over the affairs of the Zhang Family, panicked for a moment. Seizing the opportunity when Gu Jinlai was rescuing civilians in the town at the foot of the Thunder Origin Sect’s mountain, he quickly sought out Commander Cao Congyun of the City Guard Army, with whom they had already established ties, and asked his help by offering the allegiance of his entire family as a bargaining chip.
Thus, when Gu Jinlai arrived at the Zhang Family residence, what he saw was the sight of the Zhang Family being heavily guarded by the entire City Guard Army.
"Dean..."
An Yu looked at the rows of elite City Guard Army troops blocking their way and glanced at Gu Jinlai.
"We are impartial in enforcing the law. Anyone who obstructs us shall be prosecuted for the same crime."
Gu Jinlai commanded without any hesitation, "Advance."
No sooner had he spoken than he took the lead in stepping forward.
A squad of soldiers tried to step forward to obstruct, but Gu Jinlai directly activated his Chaotic Star Light Body. The thunder-like oppressive force emanated, enshrouding the soldiers and instantly stiffening their bodies, rendering them unable to move.
Seeing this scene, someone in the back couldn’t sit still any longer.
A middle-aged man dressed in the armor of a City Guard Army leader quickly came forward and said, "Is Dean Gu starting a war with the City Guard Army?"
His demeanor was calm and unflustered, evidently disregarding Gu Jinlai’s oppressive force.
Clearly, he was also a Martial King.
"You cannot represent the City Guard Army yet."
Gu Jinlai said.
"If I cannot represent it, what about Lord Cao Congyun, the son of Commander Cao from the Cao Family?"
The middle-aged man asked gravely.
"So, is Cao Congyun planning to oppose me for the sake of the Zhang Family?"
Gu Jinlai asked, his hand already on the hilt of his newly acquired Quasi-Dao Artifact, named Cheng Ying Sword.
With his current strength, overlooking Wind and Rain City, except for a few Saints and Martial Saints, there was no one else he needed to be wary of.
