"Boom! Boom!"
The ear-splitting booms carrying violent, fierce flas seed to be on the cusp of flipping over the mountain range before them.
The falling rocks and soil cluttered down in an instant, filling the less than four-ter cavern completely.
The dozen devils that had charged up and begun their massacre were almost unable to let out a few screams under the assault of the flas and the collapsing mountain, quickly getting buried under the fiery rocks and soil.
"Judgnt."
Gu Jinlai uttered a single word.
...
Several minutes later.
Gu Jinlai glanced at the Red Blood Sect protectors who clearly had undergone intense interrogation and then turned his gaze toward the mountain cave.
The cave was divided into two sections, one stretching a hundred ters, the other was a spacious hall.
The hall was vast, extending hundreds of ters in every direction.
Gu Jinlai and his companions were attacked by devils just as they were about to enter the hall, forcing them to retreat from the cave.
With such a vast cavern, the thousand catties of explosives he had at hand were insufficient.
"Patriarch, according to their confessions, the number of devils... is around one hundred forty."
Gu Chaoyang spoke with a grave expression, "Moreover... they have seen three Great Demons."
Three Great Demons.
Even those at the Divinity Transformation Realm would take a detour upon seeing them.
"Additionally, there is another piece of bad news."
Gu Chaoyang’s tone was dry, "Most of this mountain cave was excavated by the devils, which ans that a significant number of them excel at burrowing. Even if we were to collapse the entire cave, we wouldn’t be able to trap and kill these devils."
"Ssssss!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the already collapsed section of the cave began to tremble with rocks and soil moving; the howls of devils growing clearer from the inside.
The devils began to dig through the cave.
At this rate, it wouldn’t take long for the devils to clear the blocked cave, and once they did, one hundred forty devils and Great Demons would surely break out from the cave. This force...
With the current mbers of the teor Star Guard and those from the Gu family, it would definitely be impossible to hold them off.
Especially now that they had gone deep into Qiushan Mountain, it would take half a day’s ti to escape back to Lingxiao City.
Being pursued relentlessly by the devils for such a long duration, the teor Star Guard and the elite mbers of the Gu family would undoubtedly suffer heavy losses.
Moreover, with the evil not fully eradicated, the ensuing retribution...
The favorable situation of Lingxiao City would be destroyed in an instant.
"Patriarch, take Bu Wang and the others to leave first, preserve your primordial energy. I will lead the captives from the Three Great Families to intercept and buy you ti."
Gu Chaoyang declared resolutely.
Gu Jinlai didn’t respond but fell into deep thought.
"Why do you think there are so many devils gathered here?"
Gu Jinlai said, "Over the past few years, although the Three Great Families and the Red Blood Sect have conducted exchanges using people as commodities, the number they traded was enough to support the growth of fifty or sixty devils at most, where did the one hundred forty co from?"
He had reviewed the transaction amounts of the Three Great Families and had people tally the missing persons list from Lingxiao City, estimating that the number of devils would not exceed sixty. It was because of this estimation that he mobilized troops, intending to uproot the Red Blood Sect and the devils behind them, to eradicate this great harm, and to seek justice for those who had died innocently over the years.
But he hadn’t expected...
The number of devils to exceed double that figure.
The number of Great Demons had reached three.
"Are you suggesting that..."
"Inside the cave, there is sothing extrely important to the devils, so much so that they continue to occupy the cave despite insufficient supplies."
Gu Jinlai said.
"Isn’t that bad news?"
Gu Chaoyang was sowhat puzzled, "If there really is sothing extrely important to the devils inside the cave, to ensure the news doesn’t leak, they would certainly try their best to keep all of us here, even if we eventually retreat to Lingxiao City, the devils will pursue relentlessly."
"Pursue relentlessly..."
Gu Jinlai "observed" the twenty-six Qingguang surrounding Qing Lian.
"What I want is for them to pursue relentlessly!"
He addressed the mountain cave, "You and the teor Star Guard take the unrelated personnel and withdraw, Gu Chifeng and Su Nanxing will protect my imdiate safety, and besides, ask Gu Junxiu to bring what I had him carry."
Gu Chaoyang was taken aback, "That tal mold?"
"Hurry."
Gu Jinlai commanded.
Gu Chaoyang, out of trust for the Patriarch, did not say another word and quickly turned to leave.
After he left, Gu Jinlai took a deep breath and turned his attention to the orb of the Grand Sun Nine Refinent Visualization thod in his spirit world.
"I want to see just how tough these devils really are!"
All twenty-six Qingguang were simultaneously infused into the Grand Sun Nine Refinent Visualization thod.
Fourteen of them were firmly stuck at the turning point from Six Refinents to Seven Refinents, unable to progress an inch.
However, after being hamred by all fourteen Qingguang, his brain was burning with inspiration at its peak.
And when the fifteenth Qingguang descended...
Grand Sun Nine Refinent Visualization thod: Six Refinents Perfect → Seven Refinents entry-level.
Having crossed this difficult threshold, the comprehension of Seven Refinents, Eight Refinents, and even Nine Refinents soared once again.
Not enough accumulation?
Weak Spiritual Sense?
Too low a Realm?
All problems are not problems.
The insufficient heritage ans the True Spirit can’t condense!?
First ignite the Spiritual Sense, and condense a temporary True Spirit.
"Buzz Buzz!"
Gu Jinlai clearly felt a deeper force violently boiling, burning within him.
That power reached the very origin of the soul as if it were a reflection of his spirit and will, conspicuously manifesting in a special way through Spiritual fluctuations.
The Spiritual Power and the Grand Sun Nine Refinent Visualization thod rged into one, and within the haze, it seed as if a figure appeared in the imagined Great Sun.
It was as if a consciousness was born.
This consciousness...
Centered on him, but it seed to be more than just him personally.
After this consciousness was born, he felt his state of life "contracting."
Contracting towards spirituality, towards himself, towards the soul.
When this contraction reached its peak, his perception changed.
A mysterious and ineffable profundity surged forth in his heart.
At this mont, his mind that had contracted to the extre suddenly...
Blossod.
Like a cosmic big bang.
His soul, his thoughts, his consciousness, they all ignited at the point of explosion and propelled into a completely new domain with the force of the explosion.
The world...
Changed.
The whole world ca alive.
Everywhere were conscientious consciousnesses, sentient life.
The air, the dust, the mountains and rivers, the vegetation, the sunlight, the magnetic fields...
However, so "life" consciousnesses were weak; so weak that they couldn’t give rise to any thought, attach to any matter, or give matter any form.
But so lives were imnsely powerful, so powerful that they could bond with matter, morph matter, and even...
Move matter.
Just like...
People move an object known as the "body," which is based on carbon and water and uses water and oxygen as fuel.
Gu Jinlai instantly understood.
He knew what these "lives" were.
"Spirit! Spirit! Spirit! The Spirit of All Living Beings, the Spirit of All Things!"
At this mont, he had entered the world of the Spirit.
Because, he is also a Spirit.
A True Spirit.
In this world, all Spirits are both individuals and a whole.
To them, there is no difference from one another.
To the common eye, different True Spirits might seem varied and nurous.
But this is due to the combinations of Spirit with Spirit being different.
Even a single hydrogen atom, by just the difference in neutrons and protons inside it, can give rise to deuterium, tritium, and protium, just as different arrangents of atoms can create countless forms of matter.
Spirit, is no different.
Massive Spirits, equivalent to a large number of atoms forming tangible matter.
Weak Spirits, acting as neutrons, protons, electrons, and quarks within atoms.
The Heavenly Master refining artifacts by infusing Spiritual Sense into Treasures is akin to nurturing the Spirits within the Treasures with one’s own Spirit, causing those Spirits to split according to his consciousness.
When the split Spirits grow large enough, they will manifest to ordinary people in a form they can comprehend—as a Spiritual Artifact—right before their eyes.
"This is the essence of the Heavenly Master Artifact Refining."
Gu Jinlai muttered to himself.
This is also why True Spirits can forcibly Summon a Spiritual Artifact’s spirit.
As Gu Jinlai quietly sensed the various divine aspects of his True Spirit Form.
Soon after, Gu Chaoyang and Gu Junxiu rushed over carrying four thousand bullets and the model of his Short Range Defense Cannon.
"Patriarch..."
"Good."
Gu Jinlai nodded.
He looked at the Short Range Defense Cannon model, over a ter tall, that Gu Junxiu was carrying—just like a mold... indeed a mold, then glanced at the cave being rapidly excavated.
"Clear the area."
"Yes."
Gu Chaoyang solemnly complied.
Subsequently, everyone except for Gu Chifeng and a dozen others dispersed.
While Gu Jinlai, carrying the Short Range Defense Cannon model, felt the friction between his skin and the tal.
"Next, the ti has co to witness a miracle."
With a thought, he poured all of his Spiritual Sense, forcibly condensed into a True Spirit, into the Short Range Defense Cannon.
