Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal-Chapter 605 - 597: Trust

Gu Jinlai felt the influence of the "Transforming Spirit" Heavenly Dao on him.

Having sensed it for just a moment, he noticed a trend where his thoughts and spirit became slower.

"My Heavenly Dao Spirit Transformation is not yet perfected. Furthermore, it targets spiritual life forms, so the suppression on us cultivators isn’t strong. However, once it is activated, it can still cause the spirits of True Immortals to disperse and their thoughts to become unfocused among other effects. In a life or death battle, being constantly affected by the Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao can have a significant impact, but I suppose I don’t need to elaborate on that."

Zhao Xi said.

"Can the Power of Heavenly Dao be projected externally?"

Gu Jinlai inquired.

Then he thought of the Complete Heaven Star Gathering Formation set up by the Holy Dynasty.

If the Holy Dynasty could project the power of Cave Heaven to the Outer Ring Thirty-Six Cities, what more the Profound Immortal Realm, whose cultivation civilization is evidently more advanced?

And his question was soon answered by Zhao Xi: "Yes, but it consumes Spirit Mechanism. The farther the projection, the greater the Spirit Mechanism it consumes."

Thereafter, he turned his gaze towards Gu Jinlai: "You are following the Innate Sacred Path, and the Innate Sacred is considered a darling of heaven and earth in any world. Moreover, this is a traditional route that directly leads to the Three Thousand Great Dao. The Heavenly Dao that humans have nurtured has very little influence on you. Furthermore, people like Taibai don’t understand you well. If you could infiltrate the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect in the Profound Immortal Realm, and even just disrupt the operation of the Heavenly Dao of the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect for a moment, I would be able to fully integrate the Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao and awaken it. The scales of this war against the Devils would then decisively tilt in our favor."

"Go to the Profound Immortal Realm."

Gu Jinlai understood that Zhao Xi wanted him to restrain the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect in the Profound Immortal Realm.

This idea also coincided with his own thoughts.

Be it the Devils or the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect, they were both serious threats to the Humans of the Longevity World.

However, unlike Zhao Xi, who hoped he would go to the Profound Immoral Realm to restrain the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect, he was thinking about whether he could directly control the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect and completely turn the power of the Profound Immortal Realm into the power of the Longevity World. Using this method of dimensional strike, he aimed to defeat the Devil invasion.

Just like on Blue Star, when two people competed for the same position at a company, if he could directly buy out the company...

The situation would be entirely different.

"Even if Zhao Xi could awaken the Heavenly Dao he nurtured, he could only manage to drive the Devils out of the Longevity World and claim victory in this birealm war. However, the threat of the Devils always exists, not to mention the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect, the Profound Immortal Realm, the terrifying life deep in the Spirit Realm..."

A spark of brilliance flashed in Gu Jinlai’s eyes: "But if I could control the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect just like I control Qiantian... Not only would it solve the issue of the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect, but it would also use the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect as a barrier to block the Profound Immortal Realm’s peeping on the Longevity World. Moreover, with the help of the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect, the Devils would no longer be able to affect the Longevity World in the slightest. If we could further obtain the magic skill that the Profound Immortal Realm used to crush that terrifying Evil God back then... There might also be hope to confront the terrifying life deep within the Spirit Realm..."

Three birds with one stone!

This is a real case of hitting three birds with one stone!

"Do you have another path to enter the Profound Immortal Realm?"

Gu Jinlai asked.

"Yes."

Zhao Xi nodded. "Furthermore, the three groups of people I previously sent into the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect were not fruitless. At the least, they have established a slight foundation which can provide you with an impeccably flawless identity to infiltrate the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect."

Speaking to this point, he paused slightly: "I know this mission is dangerous, but if it succeeds..."

"I can go to the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect."

Gu Jinlai said, "But I need your help."

"You say it, as long as it can be done, we will certainly fulfill it completely."

Zhao Xi replied gravely.

"Cave Heaven Stone, I need a lot of Cave Heaven Stones."

Gu Jinlai stated bluntly: "Let’s start with a thousand pieces."

"A thousand pieces of Cave Heaven Stones..." Zhao Xi nodded, then looked slightly puzzled, "Are you helping others to forge Cave Heavens or are you cultivating yourself?"

"Does it make a difference?"

"Of course."

Zhao Xi replied: "If you are helping others forge Cave Heavens, I have a reserve of sixteen hundred pieces of Cave Heaven Stone on hand. With the power of the Immortal Country, gathering four thousand pieces for you is no problem. But if you plan to use them for your own cultivation to comprehend special Laws of Dao, I suggest you exchange them for top-tier materials in the Profound Immortal Realm."

Upon saying this, he added: "One piece of Cave Heaven Stone is roughly equivalent to ten pieces of top-tier materials here, but in the Profound Immortal Realm, Cave Heaven Stone can even be exchanged for Immortal Essence Gold and other top-tier materials at a ratio of eight to one, or even ten to one."

"One to ten, ten to one..." Gu Jinlai was slightly shocked: "A price difference of over a hundredfold!?"

"Yes."

Zhao Xi nodded: "Cave Heaven Stone is something that, as long as a True Immortal is willing to spend time in places with strong space fluctuations, can always be condensed, but top-tier materials... Immortal Essence Gold, which doesn’t demand much from the spirit, is somewhat easier, but materials like Heavenly Spirit Wood that require harsh environmental conditions, are almost impossible to produce in the Profound Immortal Realm."

"Then give me the top-tier materials."

Gu Jinlai spoke.

"Okay, ten thousand portions each of Immortal Essence Gold, Heavenly Spirit Wood, Floating Water, Six Yang Flame Crystal, Black Lustrous Divine Stone, Thunder Magnetic Elemental Gold, Falling Feather Spirit Liquid, Ice Heart Jade Marrow. Is that enough, or should I source more from other places?"

Zhao Xi spoke.

"Ten thousand portions each..."

Even though Gu Jinlai’s status had risen considerably since acquiring the Aries Star Palace and he possessed various materials, hearing Zhao Xi’s words still moved him.

Indeed befitting the Immortal Country Master, wealthy and imposing.

"That’s enough."

Gu Jinlai spoke.

"This is a special Dao Artifact, known as the Mirage Dragon Pearl, because its primary material is derived from the Divine Beast Mirage Dragon. Over the years, it was crafted by one Great Sky Lord after another. Its main function lies in transformation, which I believe can aid significantly in your infiltration of the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect."

Zhao Xi brought out an item.

Finally, he added, "The passage I control uses the Star Gate Technology of the Heavenly Master Civilization. However, due to the difficulty of entering the Profound Immortal Realm, we can only send you there during a window period, which comes around every eighteen months. The next opening is in three months, and during these three months, I will inform you of everything I know about the Profound Immortal Realm, hoping to make your actions there smoother."

Gu Jinlai accepted the Dao Artifact.

He could feel that the value of this Dao Artifact was probably not inferior to ordinary Divine Weapons.

After a while, he finally said, "Eighty thousand top-tier materials, one Dao Artifact worth as much as a Divine Weapon, and you, Immortal Master Zhao, trust me so much that you’re not afraid I might just take these items and leave?"

"Afraid."

Zhao Xi responded openly, then smiled, "But I have carefully understood Ancient True Immortal from the information previously sent by Jin Haoran, from your deeds in Qiantian and the Holy Dynasty. I believe that Ancient True Immortal, like me, cares deeply about the people of the Longevity World."

Clearly, this Immortal Master, although residing in the Immortal Country, still managed to keep tabs on external information as if it was at his fingertips.

Probably not only in Qiantian, but powers like the Yinglong Sacred Land might also have agents from the Immortal Country, just varying in number.

"Moreover, if Ancient True Immortal truly harbored any malice towards our Immortal Country, all you would need to do is deal the final blow in the Blood Moat Demon Abyss. Given our current situation, the best outcome would still be a mutual destruction with the Devils."

Zhao Xi continued, "In fact, I don’t have many choices. In this situation, the only thing I can do is to give Ancient True Immortal my unconditional trust."

"Is this another gamble?"

Gu Jinlai spoke.

"It’s not a very good habit, but, man, must have some faith and hope, right?"

Zhao Xi said, his voice mysteriously lowered, "It’s precisely because I still harbor hope, seeing my disciples, friends, and even family members fall on the battlefield against the Devils, that I’ve managed to keep going, carrying their hopes and expectations."

Gu Jinlai looked at him, vaguely understanding why people like Zhang Tianye spoke of him with respect.

And why several Immortal Masters willingly served under him, obeying his commands and treating him as the Immortal Country Master.

He indeed possessed his own unique charismatic appeal.

After a moment, Zhao Xi suddenly thought of something, his expression turning solemn, "Additionally, Ancient True Immortal should know that a Cave Heaven is the most crucial core for a Heavenly Immortal. Similarly, the Heavenly Immortals have thorough control over their Cave Heavens. When Ancient True Immortal stepped into my Cave Heaven, I sensed a terrifying energy contained within you."

This reminded Gu Jinlai, "The control a Heavenly Immortal has over a Cave Heaven is indeed strong to such an extent."

"Yes."

Zhao Xi seriously advised, "If you are hiding any secrets, never rashly step into a Heavenly Immortal’s Cave Heaven."

"I understand."

Gu Jinlai nodded in agreement.

Then, he added, "Does Immortal Master Zhao know of the existence of the Netherworld God?"

"There’s a Netherworld God near the Holy Dynasty!?"

Zhao Xi’s expression changed, then he soberly said, "Yes, that makes sense. The Holy Dynasty, being one of the strongest human powers aside from our Immortal Country, having a Netherworld God placed there by Demon Lord Cangming as a precaution is completely within reason." ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Now that Gu Jinlai heard this, he wasn’t surprised.

The Immortal Country knew more than he had imagined.

This clearly included the existence of special Demonic Gods like the Netherworld God.

"The Netherworld God is an important medium intended by Demon Lord Cangming to refine into an incarnation. Should it appear, we must destroy it with the utmost urgency..."

Zhao Xi spoke, then pondered, "Several of the nine Upper Immortals with Supreme Upper Immortal combat ability cannot leave at short notice. Otherwise, we could utilize the power of the Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao, use the Netherworld God as a medium, and harm Demon Lord Cangming, thereby buying time for the war between the two races."

"Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao? Can the power of Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao be used?"

"No, but I can separate a part of its power and seal it away. When needed, it can be integrated into other attacks and released."
