"Exchange of Cultivation Techniques."
Gu Jinlai looked at the Vice Sect Hierarch of the Demon God Sect.
Being able to offer the Sect Suppressing Technique, Chaos True Demon Body, one could tell without guessing that this was the will of Ying Wuqing and even the entire upper echelons of the Demon God Sect.
The Demon Martial Artists’ lineage progressed rapidly.
But they often struggled with controlling the demonic nature within them that risked corrupting their spirit, sotis leading to Deviation and death, or worse, a total loss of control and demonization, reducing them to mindless beasts of slaughter.
Therefore, after converting to Demon Martial Artists, they typically only had a few years to live.
Even for a power with top inheritances like the Demon God Sect, a converted Demon Martial Artist could at most maintain their sanity for about a decade.
To live longer, they would either have to slow down their cultivation or supplent it with Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
For soone like Ying Wuqing, who had converted to a Demon Martial Artist and managed to control it for twenty-six years without losing control, was virtually unprecedented in the history of Demon Martial Artists.
Ying Wuqing proposing an exchange with the Great Sun Demon God Body Refining thod was almost certainly looking to find a solution for the drawbacks of being a Demon Martial Artist within this cultivation technique.
However...
"You must have received news, the reason why cultivation of the Great Sun Demon God Body Refining thod doesn’t fall prey to demonic nature is that our Heavenly Masters and Heavenly Monarchs of Lingxiao City, whenever they have spare ti, use Visualization to cleanse the demonic nature from the bodies of the Demon God Warriors. Only thus can we ensure their sanity remains intact. In other words, the key to Demon God Warriors isn’t the Body Refining Technique but the Heavenly Monarchs."
Gu Jinlai addressed Zhao Wuya, "You still intend to exchange the Chaos True Demon Body for our Great Sun Demon God Body Refining thod?"
"Exchange."
Zhao Wuya said emphatically, "Stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade; perhaps we can indeed find the true thod to resolve demonic nature from the Great Sun Demon God Body Refining thod."
"Since you insist, I am willing to exchange," Gu Jinlai said. "However, I must remind you, in the past hundred years, plenty of Heavenly Masters and Monarchs have devoted their ti and energy to this issue, yet no one has succeeded."
"I’m aware," Zhao Wuya smiled, surprisingly open-minded, "Our Demon God Sect is different from other powers; our congregation consists of those persecuted by Devils, with hos destroyed and families killed. The mont we converted to beco Demon God Warriors, we were already prepared for death. To die in bloody battle against Devils or maintain the last shred of reason before losing control and dying at the hands of our peers... aside from such deaths, should there be a third choice, to die for breaking new ground on the Demon God Path, it wouldn’t be unacceptable."
"For breaking new ground?" Gu Jinlai’s interest piqued as he realized the Sect Master of the Demon God Sect was thinking along the sa lines, "Does Sect Master Ying have any clues about pioneering new realms?"
"Not at the mont, but roads are made by walking," Zhao Wuya said calmly. "In Ancient Tis, humans fought against the heavens, against the earth, giving birth to the Cultivator System, going step by step from Body Refining, refining the organs and blood exchange, to Qi Refinent, Gang Condensation, Hugging Pill, then to Refining God, Divinity Transformation and Primordial Spirit. Just these three major realms took who knows how many years to develop. And more than ten thousand years ago, when the threat of Demon Spirits erged, humans accordingly nurtured the Heavenly Master System and spent another ten thousand years journeying from Heavenly Masters to Heavenly Monarchs, and from there to creator..."
Gu Jinlai listened quietly.
The history of mankind in this world.
A history of fighting against the heavens, the earth, and nature itself.
Although recorded human civilization is only sixteen thousand years old, it doesn’t an humans have only existed on this world for that long.
After all, by the ti of recorded civilization, humans had already ventured on paths akin to that of the Primordial Spirit Monarch.
Of course, the Primordial Spirit Monarchs back then were relatively weak, and the system wasn’t perfected. They were scattered in the wilderness, like mythological legends hard to discern as true or false, with no established unified civilization, and naturally, no complete inheritance left behind.
"Our Demon God Warriors intrinsically have Devils as a reference, hence we’ve only taken a century to traverse the path that took the Cultivator System ten thousand, or even tens of thousands of years, to arrive at the Demon God King equivalent to Devas... or what Heavenly Monarch Gu referred to as the War God Realm," Zhao Wuya said, his tone relaxed in the face of life and death, yet with a sense of resolute determination, "And I firmly believe that as long as we can keep walking down this path, generation after generation, regardless of how many generations it takes, one day, the path to beco Demon God Emperor, or the Interdiate War God, High-Level War God realms will unfold beneath our feet. We humans will surely stomp the ambitions of Devils underfoot once again, just like the creators did three thousand years ago with the Demon Spirits, and reassert our dominance at the pinnacle of civilization."
"In this, I share the sa belief," Gu Jinlai responded.
He stretched out his hand, and Gu Lanxin soon brought over a complete copy of the Great Sun Demon God Body Refining thod.
"Please review it," he handed it to Zhao Wuya.
Zhao Wuya also handed over the Chaos True Demon Body Technique, "Please let Heavenly Monarch Gu inspect it. The delegates of the Earth Mother Divine Sect have not yet arrived, and it’s still three days until the Divine Sword Conference. During these three days, if the Monarch has any doubts, you can directly ask ."
"If you have any uncertainties about the Great Sun Demon God Body Refining thod, you can also ask ," Gu Jinlai offered the sa response.
Zhao Wuya bowed and left with the Great Sun Demon God Body Refining thod.
After his departure, Gu Jinlai’s gaze returned to focus.
The era has always been progressing.
To deal with external threats, humanity developed the Cultivator System, the Heavenly Master System, the Demon God Warrior System...
But these systems are surely not all there is.
The number of systems humanity has established in history to counter external threats is only likely to be greater.
Like now, due to changes in the external environnt, Heavenly Masters are almost becoming Alchemists, Artifact Refiners, and Beast Tars.
And if they hadn’t found these new paths, the Heavenly Master Civilization that has been inherited for over ten thousand years might also vanish completely like those already extinct systems, lost to the river of history.
Gu Jinlai’s thoughts drifted for a mont before refocusing on the Chaos True Demon Body.
"The Sect Suppressing Technique of the Demon God Sect, I wonder if it can solve the shortcomings of insufficient strength at the War God stage, or perhaps provide inspiration to deduce the Interdiate War God Realm..."
Three days’ ti.
That should be enough to discern so clues.
Imdiately, he instructed Gu Lanxin and headed to the Cultivation Room.
...
Blue Star.
Star Shining Federation, Cosmic Light Laboratory.
As a leading superpower of modern tis, the Star Shining Federation worked at an unbelievable speed once it decided to do sothing.
In less than three months, not only had they selected twelve groups of experint subjects from around the world that t the requirents, but they had also completed all the necessary formalities for using the Particle Collider.
At this mont, within a large hall of the laboratory, a dozen or so mbers of the Cabinet, who exuded impressive auras, gathered together, watching the data flickering across the screens in the hall.
Occasionally, scientific advisors would explain and analyze so of Dr. Harryman’s operations for them.
"Chairman Jonas, Lord Robert, our experint can comnce,"
Harryman spoke up after a flurry of activity to seek permission.
"This experint went from funding approval to preliminary trials in just six months, Dr. Harryman—are you sure you want to initiate the experint now? Do you understand the implications for you—and for Lord Robert who has strongly supported you—if this test yields no results?"
Lao Keren said solemnly.
"Since I invited Chairman Jonas and the Vice President to be here, it proves that I am confident. I cannot promise with absolute certainty that this experint will be successful, but it is bound to yield so results,"
Harryman said with a smile, "We have purchased a precious piece of data with a hefty sum and talent recruitnt—one that...directly points to the coordinates our opponent has been eyeing."
"Is the data reliable?"
"Of course."
Harryman said with confidence: "Gentlen should be aware that our opponent, due to the Noble Council’s absolute control over the nation and the lack of any oversight, is only keen on internal strife and power struggles... Researchers, including all non-noble mbers, are rely pawns for them in their quest for more power. We are more than happy to find supporters among them."
Jonas and Robert laughed after hearing this.
"Then let us begin."
"We have twelve groups of test subjects, totaling thirty-nine people. Among them are renowned Spirit Summoners, those rumored to have telepathic abilities, teams skilled in Summoning God, as well as triplets and quadruplets..."
Harryman briefly introduced them while issuing commands.
Suddenly, the large screen was divided into twelve display areas.
In each area, there were groups of one to nine people.
The places they were in varied greatly in arrangent.
So were in empty adows, others at radar stations, and still others were wrapped in various kinds of instrunts.
And their locations were within a one-kiloter radius of the heart of the Particle Collider.
At the periphery of this area, a massive antenna array was laid down, specifically for transmitting data.
As Dr. Harryman gave the command, energy equivalent to the annual output of several nuclear power plants was injected into the massive Particle Collider, activating this apparatus that almost represented the pinnacle of Blue Star’s technology.
A deluge of particles entered the accelerator and collided repeatedly.
The energy released by these collisions might only last an instant, yet the level of energy released was trendously high.
Such energy also appeared fleetingly, but during that brief mont, it could disturb space-ti.
Under such space-ti disturbances, the twelve groups of test subjects...
All concentrated their thoughts, showing off their divine abilities, harmonizing their ntal frequencies to the utmost.
But the result...
Provided no effective feedback whatsoever.
Even the changes in their life signs and brainwave signals remained within the normal range of the preliminary tests.
This turn of events caught Harryman by surprise.
"Did it fail?"
Even Jonas at this point seed to notice sothing amiss.
"Well..."
The scientific advisor beside him was pondering how to explain.
But at that mont, within one group of test subjects...
A set of quadruplet brothers began to tremble uncontrollably.
Under the observation of Harryman and others, from the eldest to the youngest, their brainwave intensities rose rapidly, reaching the limits that a human brain could withstand.
No!
In just a mont, it had exceeded the limit. The eldest’s brain was like a CPU heated to hundreds of degrees, rapidly lting, followed by the second brother...
Seeing this, Harryman hastily ordered, "Shut down the number six transmitter!"
As the command was executed, the transmitter was quickly shut off.
At this ti, the brainwave intensities of the two began to rapidly decline.
However, as the second and third brothers among the quadruplets, they still suffered severe brain burns—one died, and the other beca a vegetable, leaving only the youngest brother...
He murmured weakly in his delirium, "Immortality, enduring a thousand years on earth..."
And then he fell into a coma.
