Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal-Chapter 624 - 616: Supreme Taiyi Immortal Master

After the people from Heavenly Fire Sect, Dragon Sword Sect, and Wind and Rain Tower had all retreated one by one, Immortal Yun Zhen’s gaze once again turned toward the five Virtual Immortals led by Ye Yunguang, along with the dozens of Mahayanas.

"What are you people of the Ye lineage still doing standing here dumbfounded? Do I need to throw you out?"

"Yun Zhen!"

Ye Yunguang glared at him angrily, "Are you taking advantage of our repair of the Grotto Heaven to secretly take control of Red Cloud Sect’s Grotto Heaven..."

Before Ye Yunguang could finish speaking, Immortal Yun Zhen had already fiercely slapped.

"Get lost!"

Accompanied by a stern shout, a vast and majestic force, like a towering Divine Mountain, slammed into Ye Yunguang. Despite Ye Yunguang’s desire to block it, the gap between a Strongest True Immortal and a Peak Virtual Immortal was immense!

With just one touch, this Creation Gate Virtual Immortal spat out fresh blood on the spot and was blasted dozens of miles away.

"Dare to step half into Baihe City again, and you die!"

Immortal Yun Zhen’s Divine Thought vibrated the void.

The cold killing intent contained within it immediately filled the blasted Ye Yunguang with a hint of fear in his eyes.

Immortal Yun Zhen had the intent to kill.

He realized that if he really continued to make a fuss...

He would indeed die.

There was more than just him in the Ye Family.

If he were to die, Creation Gate would not necessarily go to war with Yunxiao Sect over this.

Especially since...

Creation Gate had not much Spirit Crystal left to activate the Creation Heaven Dao for a long-lasting war.

"Go!"

He glanced at the imposing Immortal Yun Zhen from afar, immediately turned around, and headed out of Baihe City.

The five Virtual Immortals and dozens of Mahayanas who had been following him closely also swiftly followed suit.

There were sixteen Virtual Immortals who arrived outside Baihe City, yet the Ye lineage accounted for six of them, which from this one could tell the considerable influence of the Ye Family within Creation Gate.

It wasn’t half of them who belonged to the Ye lineage, but one-third certainly did.

This was also why the Ye Family people dared to be assertive within Creation Gate.

As Ye Yunguang and his party were quickly expelled, Immortal Yun Zhen also retracted his own aura.

His strength was all exchanged from the Spirit Mechanism.

Spirit Mechanism, such a thing, use a bit and lose a bit.

Not to mention a Baihe City, even within Creation Gate, excluding the daily cultivation consumption of disciples and elders, it might take ten to eight years to extract a piece of Spirit Crystal from the Spirit Mechanism.

In this situation, all cultivators in the Profound Immortal Realm had developed the good habit of thrift and conservation.

As the Ye Family people left, Yu Xu and the others who remained at the scene were obviously somewhat embarrassed.

However, Immortal Yun Zhen quickly spoke up, dissipating the awkward mood among everyone, "I am only dissatisfied with those arrogant and presumptuous people from the Ye Family, and have no issue with Creation Gate at all. Our Yunxiao Sect and Creation Gate have always been unwavering allies, close as family. Now, please help me continue to maintain, clean up, and repair Baihe City and the Red Cloud Sect Grotto Heaven. Moreover, regarding the allocation of benefits, what should belong to Creation Gate, our Yunxiao Sect will certainly not be stingy."

"Immortal Yun Zhen is generous."

Yu Xu solemnly bowed.

Immortal Yun Zhen smiled and turned to Gu Jinlai, "Please go inside first and rest for a bit. Once our people from Yunxiao Sect arrive, we’ll discuss how to manage the territories of Baihe City."

Yu Xu nodded.

Baihe City does not just refer to the city itself but also includes thousands of miles around Baihe City as its center.

Within these thousands of miles, besides the Spirit Vein of Baihe City, there are several resource points as well.

Such as gold mines, Black Lustrous Divine Stone veins, Immortal Fruit Tree Forests, etc.

Immortal Yun Zhen quickly arranged for Yu Xu and others to be well accommodated, while he himself quietly met with Gu Jinlai in another courtyard.

Upon seeing Gu Jinlai, the True Immortal couldn’t help but give him a thorough look-over.

After a good while, he expressed his sincere admiration, "I’ve heard about you from Yuxue before, saying that your talent is outstanding, not inferior to your elder brother’s. If it weren’t for the delay caused by the Jiang Family, you could have become a Proving Dao Immortal within a hundred years. Now it seems, she has underestimated you."

"Second sister?"

Gu Jinlai’s heart stirred.

"Yunxiao Sect’s Sect Leader Yun Fenglei is my elder brother, and Yun Qiankun is my nephew, and your second sister should also call me uncle. Hahaha, so should you."

Immortal Yun Zhen said with a smile.

"Uncle Zhen."

Gu Jinlai bowed.

He had learned from Jiang Yujian about the affair between the Young Sect Master of Yunxiao Sect Yun Qiankun and Jiang Yuxue.

Creation Gate, Yunxiao Sect, and Nine Refinement Pavilion, three major powers jointly held a Grotto Heaven for cultivation practice.

After Jiang Yujian became the disciple of Ye Yan, he had brought Jiang Yuxue to practice in that Grotto Heaven. During this period, they encountered Yunxiao Sect’s Young Sect Master Yun Qiankun, and somehow, they took a liking to each other.

In the end, Jiang Yuxue and Yun Qiankun became Daoist Companions.

One was the sister of the current Sect Leader of Creation Gate, and the other was the Young Sect Master of Yunxiao Sect; their union was welcomed by everyone.

Creation Gate and Yunxiao Sect, which were already closely related, became even closer through this kinship bond.

"One really shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. I didn’t expect you to not only achieve the status of Saint in your cultivation path, but you’ve also cultivated the Innate Sacred Path, and you’ve even progressed to a level not inferior to that of a True Immortal in residence, truly astounding," Yun Zhen commented.

"It’s just luck, the path of the Innate Sacred requires a demanding environment, and if not for a stroke of fortune, I wouldn’t have chosen this path. According to my elder brother, he’s also advised me not to waste too much time on this path and to use it merely as a Daoist Guardian Skill."

"Your elder brother is right; although the Innate Sacred Path does point directly to the Great Dao... our Profound Immortal Realm no longer has the environment needed for those Innate Sacred beings to thrive."

Immortal Yun Zhen said and then paused, "What are your plans for this Grotto Heaven? Do you need to discuss with your elder brother before making a decision?"

"There’s no need; he is at a critical moment in his breakthrough to the True Immortal Realm and shouldn’t be disturbed. I can make the decision."

Gu Jinlai spoke.

"Advancing to True Immortal?"

Upon hearing this, Immortal Yun Zhen’s eyes suddenly brightened, "Is he so soon to challenge the True Immortal Realm? Good! This is great news! Once he attains True Immortal status and takes control of the Creation Heaven Dao, becoming the true master of Creation Gate, those people from the Ye Family will no longer dare to be so arrogant."

Gu Jinlai nodded in agreement, "Now is also the last crazy fling for those people from the Ye Family."

"No wonder Ye Yunguang was so aggressive before; they also realized the crisis and wanted to secure a way out in advance."

While speaking, Immortal Yun Zhen sneered, "Once your elder brother takes over the Creation Heaven Dao, you must not let them off easily."

Gu Jinlai nodded with a smile.

He then took out a map from his storage ring.

This was a map of the Flame River Dao.

On it, the various forces and resource spots in the Flame River Dao were clearly marked.

Pointing directly at the several areas he had circled, Gu Jinlai said, "I have no use for those Dao Artifacts. If the Yunxiao Sect wants this Grotto Heaven, then give those few resource spots to us."

"Are these... Black Water Swamp, Green Light Forest, Primordial Magnetic Ore?"

Immortal Yun Zhen looked at the resource spots that Gu Jinlai was pointing out.

Though these resources were somewhat useful, their preciousness was not necessarily outstanding.

At the very least, the value of these dozen or so resource spots and mining locations combined would certainly not match that of a hundred Dao Artifacts.

"I have my uses."

Gu Jinlai said with a smile.

After listening, Immortal Yun Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "I can’t take advantage of you. I will send storage of each resource spot you want from our Yunxiao Sect to Creation Gate when the time comes."

"That would be best," Gu Jinlai immediately replied.

The two negotiated for a while and quickly finalized the details of the trade.

Although the Yunxiao Sect and Creation Gate belonged to two major factions, their relationship was actually far more complex than merely ’allies’.

At least in this deal, Immortal Yun Zhen seemed more concerned about not letting him suffer a loss, offering many forms of compensation from all sides.

Of course, this might also have something to do with his willingness to trade a foundational asset like a Grotto Heaven to Immortal Yun Zhen.

...

"Next, we just wait, wait for Jiang Yujian to take charge of the Creation Heaven Dao. With the Creation Heaven Dao, the Cheng Ying Mechas will be produced rapidly like an assembly line."

Returning to the quiet courtyard he had chosen, Gu Jinlai wore a slight smile.

Once the Cheng Ying Mechas went online, Creation Gate would inevitably develop and expand at an extremely fast pace.

Once Creation Gate grew stronger and possessed more Spirit Veins, Grotto Heavens, and resource spots, they would then propose reunification to factions like the Yunxiao Sect, which originated from the same source as Creation Gate...

It was expected they would not refuse.

At that time, Baihe City’s Grotto Heaven would still belong to Creation Gate.

He was merely transferring a process from the left hand to the right.

Immediately after, he thought about the actions of the Ye Family lineage.

The Ye Family, like a cancerous tumor, siphoning off Creation Gate’s resources, was indeed beginning to irritate Gu Jinlai.

He had no desire for people like Ye Yunguang to reap the benefits of Creation Gate’s rise and claim to be celestially eminent after its development.

"It seems I need to have a proper talk with Jiang Yujian."

Gu Jinlai said, but then realized another issue.

Ye Bingyu was Jiang Yujian’s wife.

With this relationship in place, wanting to fully separate the Ye Family from Creation Gate...

Would be very difficult!

Even if Jiang Yujian wanted to use some forceful methods, a pillow whisper from Ye Bingyu would likely lead to leniency for the Ye family in the end.

After a moment, Gu Jinlai’s eyes narrowed slightly: "If Jiang Yujian cannot make the decision, I’ll make it for him."

His original plan for coming to the Profound Immortal Realm was to take control of the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect—to obtain from the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect a method to repel that terrifying existence deep in the Spirit Realm and to use the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect as a Killing Move in the war against the Demon Realm.

Thirdly...

...to use the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect as a cover to prevent any forces in the Profound Immortal Realm from coveting the Longevity World.

However, he later found the relationship with the Creation Gate gave him a way to achieve the same goals by strengthening and absorbing the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect, so he turned his efforts toward developing the Creation Gate instead.

But in the future, whether he controlled the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect or took charge of the Creation Gate, he would ultimately need to bring Creation Gate into contact with the Longevity World.

So...

It’s time to draw in a third party force.

"The direction of the Innate Sacred Path and the means to cast the Cheng Ying Mechas cannot be explained by ordinary reasons. Just perfect, many know that an Immortal Master made a fleeting appearance, killing Immortal Fei Hong and destroying the Red Cloud Sect... This is a good entry point."

Thinking of this, Gu Jinlai let out a slight smile: "I, Jiang Yufeng, am backed by an Immortal Master!"

After a moment, he seemed to recall something else.

Not just backed by an Immortal Master, but by seven!

Emperor Zhao Xi, Central Heaven Purple Light Immortal Lord, Eastern Heaven Infinite Immortal Lord, Southern Sky Changsheng Immortal Master, West Heavenly Spirit Jade Immortal Master, North Heaven Star Battle Immortal Master.

And...

Supreme Taiyi Immortal Master.
