Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal

The study in the small courtyard.

Gu Jinlai brought out a box.

Inside lay a Blood Pattern Jade Pendant.

This was also the reason Lin Xiao had targeted him several times.

This item, suspected to be a Jade Scroll, belonged to the Primordial Spirit True Monarch.

The Primordial Spirit True Monarch, a top-notch existence in the Daqian Territory.

Lu Zhanxian, the first person in the Purgatory Demon Sect and one of the top ten experts on the Demon Path, was a Primordial Spirit True Monarch.

Previously, Gu Jinlai fell from Refining God status and was unable to decipher the mysteries within; now switching to cultivating as a Heavenly Master, he gathered his Spiritual Sense. Although Spiritual Sense was not as versatile and adaptable as Divine Thought, it could still read the information on the Jade Scroll.

At that moment, he held the Jade Scroll against his forehead and stimulated his Spiritual Sense, immediately perceiving a massive amount of information within.

"Buzz, buzz!"

As the Blood Pattern Jade Pendant flared up, Gu Jinlai felt as if he were standing on the peak of a majestic mountain, looking around with the wind howling robustly and the Great Sun rising in the east, casting vast golden light as the sea of clouds churned.

Atop the mountain stood an old man with a sorrowful expression.

"The entire Tianyuan Dao succumbed, billions of people fell prey to demons; I, Xu Mo, carrying my sect's legacy, fled thirty thousand miles, yet inevitably face the end of my resources. Hence, I leave this inheritance, hoping successors will continue my will and restore Tianyuan," the old man said.

"Tianyuan Dao."

Gu Jinlai's heart stirred.

This was an overseas force that attempted to invade Daqian sixty years ago amidst global chaos but was classified as invaders by the Daqian Imperial Advisor and crushed with a flip of his hand.

Next, the old man started demonstrating magic.

Heavenly Element Creation Skill.

Innate Mixed Yuan Skill.

Heavenly Yuan Sword Control Technique.

Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sword.

Mayfly Concealing Edge Sword.

Infinite Divine Fist.

Sighing Dragon Technique.

Red Blood Demon God Body Refining Method.

...

Gu Jinlai took a deep breath.

A complete set of inheritance.

This was actually a complete set of inheritance.

Such a full set placed anywhere would constitute the foundation of a top-tier sect.

Especially core skills like the Heavenly Element Creation Skill and Innate Mixed Yuan Skill…

Its profoundness, perhaps even more intricate than the Sect Suppressing Technique of the Purgatory Sect.

He finally understood why Lin Xiao had steadfastly focused on him.

Knowing he possessed such a full set of inheritance…

No, wait!

Lin Xiao must have only suspected that the Blood Pattern Jade Pendant contained an inheritance from Tianyuan Dao, not realizing the completeness of this set.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be minor conflicts like now but a relentless effort to kill him and claim this inheritance for himself.

"Heavenly Yuan Sword Control Technique, Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sword are the most top-notch sword control techniques, Mayfly Concealing Edge Sword even more so, a superb sword nurturing and unsheathing technique, nurturing the sword with True Qi, unsheathing with shock like the sky is split! The Sighing Dragon Technique is a burst secret technique, stimulating oneself, transforming True Qi into a dragon, dramatically increasing the power of True Qi several times more powerful than the Burning Origin Technique but without harming oneself…"

Gu Jinlai watched the old man practice, yearning deeply.

These techniques, without exception, are all worthy of being the foundation of inheritance.

However…

When the old man came to describing the Red Blood Demon God Body Refining Method, he paused slightly.

"My Tianyuan Dao has clashed with demons for a century, already weakened, no longer having enough time to cultivate disciples from Qi Refining and Truth Condensing. The sect elders collectively brainstormed, and after twenty-two years, created the Red Blood Demon God Body Refining Method, a demon refining body technique supplemented with demon blood, practicing it for a month refines the body, three months refining the organs, one year for blood exchange, three years of Qi refining…"

Demon Refining Body Technique.

Gu Jinlai also felt a chill in his heart upon seeing this.

Those who cultivate with demon blood are known as Demon Martial Artists.

Such martial artists progress rapidly but have significant drawbacks; they are influenced by the demon's instincts becoming like demons themselves, devouring humans and spirits.

The Green State Four Evils are classic examples of Demon Martial Artists.

Sixty years ago, Daqian had enacted laws prohibiting cultivators from following the path of the Demon Refining Body Technique.

However, this path to power was too tempting and was repeatedly violated, and with the Daqian Dynasty's dwindling control over the provinces, the prohibition has become virtually ineffective.

"Demon Martial Artists."

Gu Jinlai looked at the Red Blood Demon God Body Refining Technique.

This body refining technique only required enough devil blood to progress a thousand miles a day, truly making one green with envy.

"If I could master this magic skill, I could compensate for the drawbacks of Qi Refining and Divinity Transformation damaging the vitality, but..."

Gu Jinlai thought of the side effects associated with Demon Martial Artists.

Their temperament changed drastically.

They consumed humans and devoured spirits.

Until gradually, they completely lost control and turned into beasts controlled by their devouring instincts.

Or one could say, devils.

"If there wasn't a lack of choices, no one would choose the path of a Demon Martial Artist."

Gu Jinlai watched Xu Mo performing the technique, as if he already saw the desperate Tianyuan Dao being forced to become Demon Martial Artists, fighting fierce battles with devils.

The Red Blood Demon God Body Refining Method was ingenious.

It had been perfected to an extremely high level by the Tianyuan Dao, and in the end, one could transform into a ten-zhang-tall Demon God, dominating the battlefield, invincible in every direction.

In the later stages, the Tianyuan Dao solely relied on disciples practicing the Red Blood Demon God Body Refining Method to barely hold on.

But ultimately...

They were still annihilated.

Gu Jinlai felt somewhat melancholic.

The demonstration ended.

He closed his eyes, quietly digesting the knowledge from the jade scroll.

"Unlike the Heavenly Element Creation Skill which needs to be cultivated from childhood, the Innate Mixed Yuan Skill, embracing all rivers, can refine all true Qi into Primordial Chaos, and it's not difficult to switch to this method from the Great Sun Devilish Brilliance Skill. Moreover, compared to the Great Sun Devilish Brilliance Skill, which only cultivates to the Hugging Pill Stage, the Innate Mixed Yuan Skill includes the Mixed Element Refining God Skill, making a perfect transition."

Gu Jinlai compared the two cultivation techniques, clearly feeling the gap between them.

"The Gu family's technique was a spoilt of war I took from a rival years ago, named the Heavenly Wind Divine Skill. If we categorize cultivation techniques, the Heavenly Wind Divine Skill is only top-grade, above it are peak skills like the Great Sun Devilish Brilliance Skill, and the Sect Suppressing Techniques of the Demon Sect."

As long as Gu Jinlai passed down the Innate Mixed Yuan Skill, in three to five years, the Gu family could see ten to eight reaching the Hugging Pill Stage, and within ten years, advancing to Refining God wouldn't be strange.

...

"Master,"

As Gu Jinlai was organizing the inheritance in the jade scroll, Gu Chaoyang's voice came from outside.

Gu Jinlai felt a stir in his heart, collected his thoughts, got up, and opened the door, "Has the Golden Seal Team arrived?"

"Yes, we've been especially vigilant for strangers outside the warehouse, they are already planning to infiltrate."

"My War Armor, War Sword, are they ready?"

"They're all set."

Gu Chaoyang spoke, pausing slightly, "Can the old patriarch really wear those armors and wield those swords?"

Wielding weapons weighing thousands of pounds.

Isn't that a power only Upper Demons possess?

Gu Jinlai did not explain, he glanced outside, "The hour is almost upon us; we leave at this time every day. Call Su Nanxing over, I'll go with him, and you bring people to follow later, snag them, and prevent their escape."

"Yes."

Gu Chaoyang nodded heavily.

Gu Jinlai then dressed appropriately, took Su Nanxing, and left the courtyard.

Outside the courtyard, there was a large carriage, drawn by two Black Rhinoceroses.

These were a type of Hidden Beast with excellent stamina and great strength, not rare in Starlight City.

"Let's go."

Gu Jinlai said.

Su Nanxing drove the carriage, and Gu Jinlai walked alongside.

After they had walked some distance from the courtyard, he climbed into the carriage.

Inside the carriage were a set of heavy armor and a heavy weapon.

The armor looked quite bulky; wearing it, Gu Jinlai's height would reach about one meter and ninety.

And the weapon was even more exaggerated.

It was two meters long.

Both wide and thick, it didn't look like something an ordinary person could use.

Gu Jinlai spent quite some time donning the armor.

As he hadn't yet fused spirits, even though he was a Hugging Pill and his true body was flawless with great physical strength, he still felt extremely uncomfortable under the pressure.

Fortunately, by the time he had put on the armor, the warehouse was already within easy reach.
