Watching the brilliance that shone at the edge of the sky, along with the intense heat that could annihilate everything, both Ye Yan and Jiang Yujian, two true immortals, couldn’t help but step forward simultaneously.
"This is..."
"Great Divine Power! And eight successive releases of Great Divine Power!?"
Great Divine Power was nothing special.
Every true immortal could master it.
But the spiritual energy in the Profound Immortal Realm was scarce.
Even Peak True Immortals would hit their limit after fifty consecutive uses without the aid of any external forces.
But now...
That sixty-six-ter tall steel machine had just released eight attacks comparable to the Great Divine Power in one go!?
"Big brother, what does Venerable Daoist Ye think?"
Gu Jinlai inquired.
"Although these Great Divine Powers have various drawbacks and their attack speed is noticeably slower compared to those released by true immortals, making them difficult to hit moving targets, even those in the Proving Realm, they are incredibly useful for breaking into Grotto Heavens... their utility is not inferior to true immortals."
Ye Yan spoke confidently.
"What if I say that a ch, when fully loaded, can fire a similar number of shells more than a hundred tis and can do so in less than a minute?"
Gu Jinlai said.
"Less than a minute to complete over a hundred Great Divine Power level attacks..."
Ye Yan’s pupils slightly contracted, then he forcefully said, "If used to attack Grotto Heavens, its power is by no ans inferior to Peak True Immortals!"
After speaking, he seed to think of sothing and pondered softly, "Despite its shortcomings in speed and defense, if we do as you suggested earlier and use legionary tactics to cover the target with concentrated fire, the destructive power would still be incredibly formidable. Perhaps three of the war machines you nad ’Cheng Ying’ could rival one true immortal."
"What I have planned is to use a large number of Cheng Ying chas for legionary combat."
Gu Jinlai slightly nodded, "Especially when attacking Grotto Heavens and draining the energy of others’ Cave Heaven Spirit chanisms, the Cheng Ying chas can be unbeatable."
As Ye Yan and Jiang Yujian recalled Gu Jinlai’s previous introduction to the Cheng Ying chas, their eyes gradually lightened.
"Big brother, next I want you to devote all your efforts to producing Cheng Ying chas."
Gu Jinlai said, "We have received a large amount of materials from the Yunxiao Sect during this period, and combined with the resources of our Creation Gate, producing a hundred Cheng Ying chas will not be a problem."
"A hundred chas..."
Jiang Yujian took a deep breath.
If the Creation Gate truly had a hundred Cheng Ying chas...
That would be equivalent to dozens of true immortals.
In siege warfare, it would equate to hundreds of Peak True Immortals.
This concentration of firepower...
Who could withstand it?
Even the mighty Heavenly Immortals, Daoist Masters, and even Immortal Masters, would be completely annihilated along with their Grotto Heavens under such terrifying firepower.
It took a while before he thought of sothing, his expression stiffening slightly, "To forge a hundred Cheng Ying chas, the consumption of Spirit chanisms is definitely not a small number. Even with my increasing proficiency in the fabrication of the Cheng Ying chas, to produce these hundred chas would still require activation of the Creation Heaven Dao more than eighty tis, aning, at least the equivalent of eighty Spirit Crystals in expenditure..."
He did so quick calculations and soon began to laugh bitterly, "My breakthrough to True Immortal has left with less than ten Spirit Crystals, and the savings of Spirit Crystals by our Creation Gate over the years are only a dozen or so... which is less than one quarter of the eighty needed."
"I will take care of the Spirit Crystals, you just need to fully operate the Creation Heaven Dao and produce the Cheng Ying chas and the necessary fuel,"
Gu Jinlai said, pausing before continuing, "Additionally, I will personally be responsible for training the chanical Drivers. The first batch will be three hundred people, the second seven hundred, aiming to have our Creation Gate possess three hundred chas and a thousand drivers within two years, then to sweep across the Fla River Dao and further control the Northern Region, and then, using the Northern Region as a base, to continue to expand to a thousand chas, three thousand chas, ten thousand chas."
"Ten thousand chas..."
Ye Yan and Jiang Yujian thought about such a scenario...
Ten thousand Cheng Ying chas, wielding siege firepower on par with Peak True Immortals, firing shells shining like tens of thousands of Great Sun Stars, illuminating the heavens and the earth.
That kind of might...
Forget about controlling the Northern Region; even unifying the Profound Immortal Realm and becoming the Profound Immortal Realm Dominator wouldn’t be far-fetched.
At this mont, they finally understood why Gu Jinlai had the confidence to lead Creation Gate to beco the number one Sect of the era.
...
Gu Jinlai spent a day testing the various capabilities of the Cheng Ying cha.
The flight speed of the Cheng Ying cha was not slow.
Although its agility was inferior to even a Void Immortal, its straight-line speed was not inferior to true immortals.
Moreover, the materials used in this version of the Cheng Ying cha were produced by Gu Jinlai through his own understanding of "nuclear power," and though they can’t match the top-tier materials like Immortal Essence Gold in terms of mystic properties, they exceed them in performance.
Similar to the self-repair characteristic of Immortal Essence Gold, these materials also possess it through programming.
In addition, the Cheng Ying cha is equipped with an astonishingly powerful repulsion shield, which can withstand Divine Skills with its maximum protective capacity.
And when three, ten, thirty, or a hundred Cheng Ying chas stand together, forming a formation, they can link their repulsion shields into a unified front, creating small, dium, large, and extra-large repulsive fields. A dium-sized field can withstand several Great Divine Power attacks, and an extra-large field would even prevent a Great Divine Power from breaking through in a short amount of ti.
Without exaggeration, just ten of such chas could sweep through all the military forces of Blue Star.
Aside from launching a saturation attack with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of nuclear bombs, risking mutual destruction, Blue Star has no other ans of resistance.
"Next, big brother only needs to focus on activating the Heavenly Dao and producing Cheng Ying chas as much as possible, while Venerable Daoist Ye Yan needs to quickly collect more materials for casting chas. At the very least, we should have the materials to produce over a thousand chas before other forces react."
Gu Jinlai, along with Ye Yan and Jiang Yujian, returned to the Sect, constantly instructing them along the way.
"The materials for Cheng Ying chas are not any rare strategic resources. Although we require them in large quantities, because our Creation Gate is skilled in Artifact Refining and maintains a supply and demand relationship with many surrounding Sects, collecting materials for a thousand chas won’t be difficult. It’s rely a matter of taking so ti," Ye Yan affird with a bright gleam in his eyes.
The power of the Cheng Ying cha had given him hope for the rejuvenation and ascension to the peak of the Creation Gate, or even beyond the peak.
At this mont, he was filled with boundless energy.
"That would be excellent."
Gu Jinlai said, and upon thinking of sothing, he added, "We also need to nd our relationship with the Yunxiao Sect. Cheng Ying chas are not omnipotent; after all, the cha drivers are just Primordial Spirit and Returning to Void Realm disciples. Moreover, from entering to activating the chas, it all takes ti. In case of a surprise attack, we need True Immortals to step forward and provide these drivers with the ti to activate their chas."
Ye Yan nodded, "We have completely purged the Creation Gate, and I will make a special trip to the Yunxiao Sect soon. Once they understand the changes in our Creation Gate, the relationship between us will surely be restored."
"That would be the best."
During their conversation, Gu Jinlai took out so Taoist Devices from a storage ring that he had originally planned to use for building relationships after entering the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect and handed them to Jiang Yujian, "Distribute these Taoist Devices as you see fit."
Jiang Yujian took the storage ring and looked inside, his eyes widening in astonishnt, "Third brother..."
"Take it, it’s all for the Creation Gate," Gu Jinlai said.
"Inside this..."
Ye Yan hesitated before asking.
Jiang Yujian let Ye Yan take a look at the storage ring.
Instantly, the Venerable Daoist elder shuddered, barely managing to hold onto the ring.
That’s because the first three items he sensed with his Divine Thought were Supre Taoist Devices!
These were Supre Taoist Devices! The entire Creation Gate only had one!
That was the Creation Golden Pill Furnace, specifically used for Alchemy.
The reason why the Creation Gate, with only Ye Yan, a True Immortal, remaining after the internal strife, had not faced attacks from other forces, was firstly due to the deterrence of the Creation Heaven Dao.
The second reason...
Was that the Creation Gate’s Pill Artifact was dual unparalleled, maintaining relatively friendly relations with many surrounding Sects.
But now, within the storage ring Gu Jinlai had provided, there were already three Supre Taoist Devices. Valued at a hundred Spirit Crystals each, their total worth surpassed all of the Creation Gate’s assets.
Even using all these Spirit Crystals to nurture the Heavenly Dao could form the embryonic essence of a Daoist Master.
Clutching the storage ring, Ye Yan was at a loss for words for quite so ti.
After a while, he looked back at Jiang Yujian, "Since you have erged from seclusion, it’s sowhat inappropriate for Yu Feng to act as the Sect Leader. It’s better for you to take on the role as Sect Leader."
Jiang Yujian quickly understood his master’s intention and nodded, "Our Creation Gate is about to experience an unprecedented surge and achieve the glory of its heydays. During the initial founding of our Creation Gate, True Immortals were rely elders, only Heavenly Immortals and elders who made significant contributions to the Sect qualified to be Venerable Daoist Elders."
Therefore, it’s not suitable for to continue as a Venerable Daoist Elder. I will request to step down to the position of an elder."
Ye Yan continued, turning his attention to Gu Jinlai, "Yu Feng has provided imnse help to our Creation Gate, especially now, affording us the opportunity to rise again and restore our heyday prestige. His contributions are imnse, one for the historical records of our Creation Gate, so I propose that Yu Feng beco the only Venerable Daoist Elder of our Creation Gate. As a respected and honored Venerable Daoist Elder, he would have exceptional authority over the Sect’s affairs."
"I agree," Jiang Yujian nodded without hesitation.
Listening to the exchange between the two, Gu Jinlai couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He had been doing well as the Acting Sect Leader, but now...
Sohow, he was becoming a Venerable Daoist Elder again?
Even accounting for the age of this body, he was not even eighty years old...
Was he really that old?
