Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal-Chapter 602 - 594: The Six Great Immortal Masters

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Although the main forces of the Immortal Country had already been called back, they had never given up on trying to attract the support of the Holy Dynasty, such a colossal power.

On a huge warship, Duanmu Chengyun, Dong Xuanzi, Zhang Yingzhen, and Su Xin, four Supreme Void Immortals, carried Divine Weapons, along with forty other Void Immortals and three hundred Saints, all fully equipped and ready to set out.

Standing beside them was a Saint from the Immortal Country. freewebnσvel.cøm

When Gu Jinlai descended from the sky and landed on the large warship, the several Supreme Void Immortals and the Saint from the Immortal Country all came forward to greet him.

"Ancient True Immortal has arrived."

"Many thanks to Ancient True Immortal for taking action and being willing to rescue the Immortal Country! All of the Human Clan will remember the kindness of Ancient True Immortal and the contributions of everyone from the Holy Dynasty!"

Everyone said.

Gu Jinlai glanced at the named Saint and nodded, "We should not delay; let’s set off as soon as possible."

"Yes."

The Saint respectfully agreed, and at the same time said, "The Holy Dynasty’s assistance illuminates our Immortal Country. I have already relayed the message to the Immortal Country. When we approach the border of the Immortal Country, Immortal Zhang Tianye will personally come to greet everyone."

Duanmu Chengyun and the others nodded in response.

Being greeted by a True Immortal—this level of formality was indeed appropriate.

After all, for beings of such a level, unless it was a genius stroke of the Spirit Mechanism, giving birth to even one was extremely difficult.

When the Heavenly Master Civilization perished, the cultivators acquired all sorts of resources left by the Heavenly Master, resulting in the creation of only the Thirty-Six Cave Heavens.

The Thirty-Six True Immortals of the Immortal Country were almost all born in the past few hundred years.

The warship broke the sky, carrying hundreds of people as it cleaved through the clouds, swiftly shuttling through them.

Duanmu Chengyun stood on the deck, facing the wind.

About rushing to the aid of the Immortal Country...

His and the other Supreme Void Immortals’ emotions were somewhat mixed.

Things were different now.

After the battle a decade ago, the Holy Dynasty lost its momentum. The Six Great Cave Heavens saw no hope of victory. Furthermore, the emergence of characters like Xing Bieli made them aware of the existence of Blue Star. After consultation, they planned to withdraw to Blue Star and preserve the seed of civilization.

But now...

The devils encircling the Holy Dynasty had been routed; the Holy Dynasty had expanded its territory by forty thousand miles, and some city armies had even pushed a hundred thousand miles outward—the situation was looking up.

But they knew that the main reason for such a situation was that the Immortal Country had been holding back the main forces of the devils for them.

Therefore, when Gu Jinlai proposed to reinforce the Immortal Country, they did not hesitate much before agreeing.

However...

"Ancient True Immortal, although we are rushing to support the Immortal Country this time, we must have a clear understanding about those outsiders," Duanmu Chengyun said, "Those who are not our kin have different hearts... Although those outsiders from the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect are also of the Human Clan, and seem to have had a connection with our world in the more ancient times, I do not believe that they would be so kindly and enthusiastic in helping us."

He paused slightly as he spoke, "Especially since I have heard that their world is extremely lacking in resources."

"I understand; I will try to convince the Immortal Masters of the Immortal Country to lessen their dependence on the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect. However, as you have heard, the current situation is such that the Immortal Country and the devils are fiercely clashing on the Blood Moat Demon Abyss Battlefield. It is said that with every attack and counterattack, Void Immortals fall, and particularly in the recent years, twenty-six Void Immortals have perished, with three True Immortals also falling. For the Immortal Country, securing victory on the Blood Moat Demon Abyss Battlefield is of the utmost importance. If they do not win this battle, once the devils expand the Blood Moat Demon Abyss again and the Demon Lord descends, the Immortal Country will have no means to resist," Gu Jinlai said.

Duanmu Chengyun also understood this point.

The formidable difficulty of the Blood Moat Demon Abyss Battlefield is the primary reason why the Immortal Country, knowing that the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect must have its own schemes, still chooses to cooperate with them.

After all, the plans of the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect for the Immortal Country and the Longevity World must also depend on the Longevity World not having been occupied by devils and Demon Spirits.

In this regard, the threat from the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect truly does come after that of the devils.

"Although the four of us possess significant battle power and have brought Spirit Crystals to activate the Divine Weapons at critical moments, we ultimately cannot compare to a real True Immortal. When it comes time to communicate with the Immortal Country, we will have to rely on Ancient True Immortal."

Duanmu Chengyun said, "Please, Ancient True Immortal, strive to secure enough autonomy for our Holy Dynasty when the time comes."

"You can rest assured about that; we have no basis of trust with the Immortal Country and naturally cannot blindly follow their commands. If they really want us to go to a certain battlefield, we must also have the right to decide whether to act based on the situation, to avoid being cannon fodder in vain," Gu Jinlai responded firmly.

Duanmu Chengyun was somewhat relieved to hear this.

After all, the power of the Holy Dynasty was indeed weaker than that of the Immortal Country.

Especially since they had left the Cave Heaven, the battle power they could exert was even less, which is why the Holy Dynasty was dead set against sending reinforcements to the Immortal Country in those days.

Even now, as they set foot on the journey toward the Immortal Country, each of their hearts was still filled with unease.

The warship continued to cut swiftly through the clouds.

Time passed by.

After traversing countless miles, the wild and desolate lands that were originally encircled by devils and almost devoid of human presence finally gave way to dense clusters of Sects and Holy Lands.

These powerful forces that had been drawn to the Immortal Country and pledged allegiance to it, yet were not fully dependent on the Immortal Country.

Scattered across the outskirts of the Immortal Country, these forces were somewhat similar to those like the Mountain Sword Sect located outside of Wind and Rain City.

But they had much larger autonomy and were much stronger compared to the Mountain Sword Sect.

Soon after these Sects and Holy Lands began to appear, a golden light tore through the Void and arrived from afar.

Feeling the resonance that golden light transmitted, which made heaven and earth vibrate and manifested visions, Duanmu Chengyun, Gu Jinlai, and others simultaneously realized something.

"Immortal Zhang has arrived."

A Saint from the Immortal Country said with some excitement, "Zhang Tianye, Immortal Zhang, is not only one of the thirty-six True Immortals of our Immortal Country but has also been listed among the strongest, the Nine Great Immortals!"

"The Nine Great Immortals."

Gu Jinlai had heard Jin Haoran mention this term before.

The so-called Nine Great Immortals refer to the nine True Immortals within the Immortal Country who are qualified to challenge the Immortal Masters.

That is, the nine individuals who have reached the Peak True Immortal level.

Just like Saints and Void Immortals, True Immortals at the peak stage have essentially also been able to attempt incarnating into a Cave Heaven.

The rest, whether Supreme True Immortals or Supreme True Immortals, are simply more powerful in combat than Peak True Immortals, with both sides being at the same realm.

"Sending one of the Nine Great Immortals, Zhang Tianye, to greet us... on one hand, it shows the importance our Immortal Country places on the assistance, and on the other... isn’t it also a form of deterrence?"

Duanmu Chengyun transmitted his voice.

Gu Jinlai understood, of course.

But he didn’t say anything.

They didn’t trust the Immortal Country, and the Immortal Country might not fully trust the Holy Dynasty either.

It’s just that compared to the caution and vigilance of the Holy Dynasty, the Immortal Country was more overbearing, having more margin for error, but that didn’t mean they were arrogant.

"Whoosh!"

The golden light broke the sky.

Before the figure arrived, his voice already transmitted ahead, "Welcome all members of the Holy Dynasty who have traveled thousands of miles to aid the Immortal Country! In times of trouble, true feelings are revealed. We, too, are of the Human Clan, and when faced with the peril of devil invasion, are deeply grateful for the Holy Dynasty’s willingness to assist the Immortal Country!"

The golden light landed on the deck of the battleship, revealing the form of Zhang Tianye.

He maintained the shape of an ordinary human, tall and imposing, with long hair and stubble, a Giant Sword on his back, appearing like a rugged, open-hearted middle-aged knight.

"You’re too polite, Immortal Zhang. Devils are a common enemy of our Human Clan. Seeing devils wreaking havoc in the Immortal Country, the Holy Dynasty naturally won’t stand idly by."

Gu Jinlai stepped forward to speak.

Duanmu Chengyun had already agreed that he would represent the Six Great Cave Heavens and negotiate their interests on their behalf.

"This must be the Ancient True Immortal, Gu Jinlai? The youngsters from the Holy Dynasty have mentioned Ancient True Immortal’s great name more than once, saying that you have always concerned yourself with the Human Clan, detested evil, and devoted yourself to restoring order to all places of the Human Clan as quickly as possible. And these ideals have always been what we in the Immortal Country think, seek, and hope for," said Zhang Tianye with a smile on his face.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhang Tianye greeted each person, including Gu Jinlai and Duanmu Chengyun.

Finally, Gu Jinlai asked directly, "What’s the current situation at the Blood Moat Demon Abyss Battlefield?"

"With the devils continually increasing their troops starting three years ago, the pressure we faced multiplied. There was a time when we were unable to approach within three thousand miles of the Blood Moat Demon Abyss, but ever since the Immortal Master of the Eastern Heaven relocated two years ago, and the Southern Sky Immortal Master did half a year ago, carrying the power of the two Immortal Masters’ Cave Heavens, we have barely managed to stabilize the situation," explained Zhang Tianye.

The Immortal Country has a total of six Great Immortal Masters.

Among them, the most revered is the founder of the Immortal Country—Emperor Zhao Xi.

Then there are Purple Light Immortal Master, Infinite Immortal Master, Changsheng Immortal Master, Spirit Jade Immortal Master, and North Heaven Star Battle Immortal Master.

Among these five, the Purple Light Immortal Master is slightly more powerful.

The main reason for these differences lies in the sizes of their Cave Heavens.

The Purple Light Immortal Master’s Cave Heaven stretches fifty miles.

While the other four Immortal Masters have Cave Heavens that span between ten and thirty miles.

As for the founder of the Immortal Country, Zhao Xi, his Immortal Country is that Super Immortal Country.

However, unlike the other Immortal Masters whose Immortal Countries can still be relocated, Zhao Xi has completely merged with that Super Immortal Country.

"So, aside from the West Heavenly Spirit Jade Immortal Master, four of the six Great Immortal Masters of the Immortal Country have relocated their Immortal Countries to the Blood Moat Demon Abyss?" asked Gu Jinlai.

"Yes," nodded Zhang Tianye. "With this, we can withstand the devils and fight for time for the ’Heavenly Dao’ to gestate within Emperor Immortal Lord’s Cave Heaven."

"Heavenly Dao is being nurtured within Immortal Master Zhao’s Immortal Country... and Zhao Xi, as the head of the six Great Immortal Masters, is also the most powerful among them. I heard that even if he makes an incarnation to fight, he can confront an Immortal Master in their Immortal Country head-on, and battle that Immortal Master inside their Immortal Country to a standstill. If he were to encounter any mishap..."

Gu Jinlai frowned.

"Haha, Ancient True Immortal has such worries because you’re not familiar with the traits of Immortal Masters in the Immortal Country. Immortal Masters dubbed as Cave Heaven Immortals by the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect, those who merge as one with their Cave Heavens, whether nurturing the Heavenly Dao will be affected—Immortal Master Zhao Xi, as a Heavenly Immortal, certainly understands this better than we do," said Zhang Tianye with a laugh.

"I need to see Immortal Master Zhao."

Gu Jinlai said.

"Of course," Zhang Tianye gestured invitingly. "Please follow me. Immortal Master Zhao is also waiting to welcome the guests who have come from afar."
