Chapter 468: Chapter 464: Child of the Stars
It was as expected.
Things falling naturally into place.
Gu Jinlai perceived the spirit world sphere belonging to the Chaotic Starlight Body.
Without using Qingguang, he cultivated the Golden Technique directly to Mahayana.
Everything happened naturally.
Clearly, what he lacked was not the comprehension of this technique, but simply the accumulation of energy within his body.
Just like a fighting expert, even if he had won a world championship, starve him for three days and nights, and the strength he could display would be inferior to that of an average person.
"Back then, the Eternal Furnace reached Mahayana and derived a trait similar to Companion Divine Power—Transmission, and the Chaotic Starlight Body is the same," Gu Jinlai remarked.
He perceived this golden sphere.
Derived trait: Child of the Stars.
The trait called Child of the Stars emerged from the Chaotic Starlight Body at the Mahayana Realm.
At first, Gu Jinlai found it somewhat incomprehensible.
But when he immersed himself carefully in that state of mysterious connection with the heavens and earth, he gradually realized the terrifying nature of the Child of the Stars trait.
The Child of the Stars...
It referred to his own resonance with the universe.
Even before his transformation from the Chaotic Thunder Origin Body to the Chaotic Starlight Body, Gu Jinlai realized that he could use his Life Magnetic Field to operate the Earth’s magnetic field.
And now, with the existence of the Child of the Stars trait, he was fully realizing this ability.
When he activated the Child of the Stars trait to merge into the magnetic field of a star, he seemed to be no longer a mere creature, nor just an Innate Divine Beast. He—was that star itself.
He became an integral part of the star.
The power of the Star Magnetic Field would serve him.
"Such power..."
Gu Jinlai took a deep breath, gradually stimulating the Child of the Stars trait.
Just as he understood, under this trait, his connection to the stars deepened.
In just one minute, he felt he had merged with the star.
After ten minutes, he was faintly capable of capturing information from the Star Magnetic Field.
An hour in, he possessed the ability to interfere with the Star Magnetic Field.
By the end of three hours, he could tear open the Star Magnetic Field, allowing the ubiquitous cosmic energy and Sun’s Light to shine upon the Earth, thereby completely destroying all the electronics in the world.
Oh, this world had no electronic devices.
And moreover...
As time passed, and as the integration with the Star Magnetic Field grew stronger, the power he could wield increased.
Once the degree of integration reached a certain extent, he even felt that he could control the Power of Stars to form an unprecedented constraining Domain. Even if a hydrogen bomb exploded in front of him, he could confine its power, not allowing a single bit to leak.
This...
"Child of the Stars!" Gu Jinlai’s heart was shaken.
This was a power beyond the ordinary, one that even he found hard to fathom now.
"Stars! Stars!"
Gu Jinlai’s emotions surged, and he quickly came out of that "merged" state, gasping for breath, unable to calm his emotions for a long time.
The Golden Technique.
Is this truly the ultimate level the Golden Technique can achieve?
If the Chaotic Starlight Body could finally merge into a star, becoming the true "Child of the Stars," its divinity would surpass that of the Eternal Furnace.
After all, that would be merging into a star!
"Wait! The integration of both Golden Techniques is the most powerful path!" Gu Jinlai suddenly said.
Integration!
Merging both Golden Techniques fully, to evolve into a Constant Star, that would be real power.
It could be called the ultimate power.
If he really could transform into a Constant Star, possessing the power of a Constant Star inside him...
Forget about Qiantian or the Holy Dynasty, even the whole world, including the Demon Realm behind the rift, would be crushed by him, utterly destroyed.
With that thought, Gu Jinlai became somewhat impatient to obtain more Qingguang, more Thunder Magnetic Elemental Gold, to fill the Chaotic Starlight Body faster and complete the integration of the two techniques.
"Start with the Ouyang family," he said, a glint of cunning flashing in his eyes.
To exterminate the criminals who had fled to this place from the Ouyang family, he must first find where these people were hiding.
Originally Gu Jinlai planned to collaborate with the departments in Hai Feng City.
But now...
Gu Jinlai calmed himself down and slowly entered the Child of the Stars state.
Suddenly, the world through his eyes began to change subtly and silently.
The walls of the Cultivation Room gradually faded, and countless streaks of light flickered before his eyes.
His sight, his Perception, as if in a state unobstructed by matter, transcended the scope of Sanctum Tower and appeared above Hai Feng City.
As he observed quietly, the fleeting streaks of light gradually became distinct, and as he focused his Divine Sense upon them, images began to appear in front of him.
These were images recorded by the Star Magnetic Field concerning this star.
After observing for a moment, Gu Jinlai soon frowned, "Too many, there are too many images."
So many that it was like trying to manually find a particular number in a line of code from a supercomputer.
"Alright, I’ve oversimplified it," he admitted ruefully.
The amount of information recorded by the Star Magnetic Field was vast.
The images, sounds, and scents perceived by the ten billion people on Earth translated into data were nothing compared to a mere fraction of the information processed by the Star Magnetic Field.
The human brain was simply incapable of locating the desired part amidst such vast and complex information.
So...
Unless his brain was a supercomputer, the ability to sense information from the Star Magnetic Field was of no use.
"Wait a minute, a supercomputer?!" An idea flashed through Gu Jinlai’s mind, "Perhaps the human brain could handle such information after all."
The next moment, he diverted a part of his attention to his spirit world.
After forming the Thunder Light Domain, Qingguang had depleted, but in the following days, after a cleanup in Wind and Rain City, he had obtained several more strands of Qingguang.
The greatest use of Qingguang...
Gu Jinlai maintained the status of Child of the Stars, his perception directly extending throughout Hai Feng City.
Then a strand of Qingguang infused, and his brain instantly entered the Super Boost State.
Countless images and information surged in his mind.
During this process, Gu Jinlai could clearly feel his body temperature rising, and the speed was incredibly fast.
Fortunately, in less than ten seconds, countless images flashed through his mind, and he instantly learned the hiding place of the Ouyang family members.
"South District, Third Street, number two hundred eighty-two."
Gu Jinlai gave himself another look.
Soon, he recovered from this Super Boost State of the brain.
When he came out of that state, he could clearly feel the fatigue in his brain.
This fatigue even gave him a sense of dizziness.
Clearly, this was the negative effect of excessive mental exertion.
However...
Recalling the almost all-knowing and all-powerful feeling he had when he "scanned" Hai Feng City, Gu Jinlai deeply felt the power of it.
"All-knowing and all-powerful, nothing exceeds this."
He murmured to himself.
In that state, there was not a single person in Hai Feng City who could hide from his perception.
Even...
Unless he harbored malice towards someone, even if he observed a National Guardian Saint to the fullest extent, searching for all his information, the saint would not have the slightest inkling.
Because, what he viewed was the information left by the star magnetic field.
And who would sense danger from a planetary magnetic field?
"It’s just that each time it requires consuming a bit of Qingguang, and... the load on the brain is too heavy..."
Gu Jinlai rubbed his brow.
He dared not blindly experiment any further.
Having learned the whereabouts of the Ouyang people, he closed his eyes, meditating to relax his whole body and recover his spirit.
...
The next day, Gu Jinlai left the cultivation room.
As soon as he opened the door, the first thing he saw was Zhao Yushu sitting outside.
He had neither gone shopping nor browsing; it looked as though...
She had been there for some time.
Seeing Gu Jinlai get up, Zhao Yushu hurriedly stood up: "Senior Gu, have you finished cultivating?"
Gu Jinlai glanced at her, intuiting something: "Have you been... protecting me?"
"No way, how could I possibly protect you? I’m just a minor Qi Refining Realm cultivator," said Zhao Yushu, adding, "I just... didn’t want anyone to disturb your cultivation, so I stayed outside."
Gu Jinlai nodded, not saying anything more.
This little girl...
She was quite thoughtful.
"All right, I have some minor matters to attend to next. You go rest for a while, and once you’re rested and I’ve finished my affairs, we’ll head back to Wind and Rain City," said Gu Jinlai.
"Understood," Zhao Yushu said, saluting with youthful vigor.
"Go ahead," Gu Jinlai waved his hand.
He stepped out of the courtyard considered a residence and headed towards the location of the Ouyang family members.
But as soon as he stepped out, he sensed something.
Someone was tailing him.
At this moment, another person approached Gu Jinlai: "Someone asked me to give you this note."
The note was handed over to Gu Jinlai, and the messenger quickly left.
Gu Jinlai opened it to read.
"Leave Hai Feng City quickly, or there may be a threat to your life."
Gu Jinlai looked around, but could not discern who had delivered the note.
However...
"A threat to my life?"
Gu Jinlai chuckled.
When he formed the Thunder Light Domain, his combat strength had already increased by a large margin, and even facing a Saint may not put him at much of a disadvantage.
Now with the full achievement of the Chaotic Star Light Body, his entire being had been strengthened in all aspects, and what’s crucial was that it allowed him to better harness the power of the Eternal Furnace.
Just how strong he was now, even he himself did not know.
Whether Wind and Rain City or Hai Feng City, the pressure that had been weighing on him had already decreased by a large margin.
At that moment, a flicker of Thunder Power burst from the Chaotic Star Light Body, incinerating the note, and then he soared into the sky, heading straight for the Inner City.
Flying like this, once he entered the Inner City, he quickly attracted the attention of the Hai Feng City Guard Army.
Soon, a Primordial Spirit True Monarch came via sword control.
Gu Jinlai promptly presented his identity seal and transmitted his voice: "I am the Outer City District Chief of Wind and Rain City, especially here to apprehend a group of fugitives who have fled here from Wind and Rain City. Right now, that group is in a compound located at number two hundred eight-two on Third Street in the South District. Please grant me convenience."
"The District Chief of Wind and Rain City?"
The Primordial Spirit True Monarch was surprised, then swiftly said, "All notable figures reside on Third Street in the South District. If you are here to arrest someone, and should it affect the surroundings..."
"Ha, to deal with a family whose strongest is only a Peak Martial King, how could it possibly affect the surroundings?" Gu Jinlai said with a light chuckle.
At that moment, his figure had already appeared above the South District, with Third Street below his feet.
Seeing this, he unleashed the Thunder Light Domain, and before the Ouyang family could react, a dozen thunderous streaks tore through the void with deafening roars and plummeted down.
