Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal-Chapter 636 - 622 Testing the Machine

Creation Cave Heaven.

Ye Yan looked at Gu Jinlai with a touch of guilt in his expression, "Eighteen Spirit Crystals, over a hundred thousand Five Elements materials, and at least dozens of Dao Artifacts... This... Sect Leader Yu Feng has contributed too much to Hua Sect."

"All these resources are circulated within our Hua Sect, and since I am the Sect Leader of Hua Sect, it is naturally my duty to make our sect thrive and rise."

Gu Jinlai said, and glanced up at the Sky Dome.

Within the constantly active Creation Heaven Dao, Jiang Yujian’s aura had already completely merged with the power of the Creation Heaven Dao.

A month ago, he had already broken through to the True Immortal Realm, and in this past month, he had been mastering the Creation Heaven Dao.

With the tireless help of Ye Yan, the former controller of the Creation Heaven Dao, his grasp over the Creation Heaven Dao was now nearing its end.

It was estimated that it wouldn’t be long before he could become the master of the Creation Heaven Dao and conclude his closed-door cultivation.

After watching for a moment, Gu Jinlai withdrew his gaze and turned back to Ye Yan, "Supreme Elder, during this period, I’ve reviewed the sect’s archives, and I have several doubts in my heart, I wonder if you could help answer them."

"Speak."

Ye Yan nodded in acknowledgment.

"The purpose of building a Grotto Heaven is to collect Spirit Mechanism, and the Magic Skill for collecting Spirit Mechanism is the Spirit Mechanism Technique, yet from my observations, the Spirit Mechanism Technique used by our Hua Sect, or rather the entire Profound Immortal Realm, seems to be imperfect?"

Gu Jinlai spoke.

"You were actually able to detect the imperfections in the Spirit Mechanism Technique."

Ye Yan was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, but then he explained, "Actually, this isn’t much of a secret. Ten thousand years ago, the environment of the Profound Immortal Realm was excellent, Spirit Mechanism and spiritual energy were abundant in every corner of the world. Although our world had some Gathering Spirit Arrays that touched upon ’Spirit Mechanism,’ there was no such thing as the ’Spirit Mechanism Technique.’ The real Spirit Mechanism Technique actually came from an Evil God, who brought catastrophe to the Profound Immortal Realm ten thousand years ago."

"Evil God? The Spirit Mechanism Technique... is it a skill left by that Evil God?"

"To be precise, it’s a skill created by that astonishingly brilliant Alliance Hierarch from the coalition that resisted the Evil God, based on the Evil God’s method of Devouring the Heaven and Earth Spirit Mechanism. Therefore, the skill itself is inherently imperfect."

Ye Yan continued, "It can only serve as an auxiliary Skill, helping people collect Spirit Mechanism. At most, some people have added a few other uses to its foundation in an attempt to achieve a certain goal."

"Inherently imperfect..."

Gu Jinlai frowned.

"If the Human Emperor was still around, he might have already perfected the Spirit Mechanism Technique by now. But in our Profound Immortal Realm, this is what the Spirit Mechanism Technique is like, and over ten thousand years of spread, it is widespread and well-known."

Ye Yan said.

"Human Emperor."

Gu Jinlai came across this term more than once in the archives.

It was said that only those Human Clan emperors who had created a previously unparalleled glorious era could be called Human Emperors.

This Human Emperor’s name is often associated with the truth of the Profound Immortal Realm repelling the Evil God ten thousand years ago.

"So... if I want to find out the method to repel that Evil God, I can only personally ask that Human Emperor Alliance Hierarch from ten thousand years ago."

Gu Jinlai sighed in his heart.

That is, if he is still alive.

As he became a high-ranking member of Hua Sect, with access to the most secretive scriptures of the sect that had a legacy spanning over ten thousand years, he already knew that the Profound Immortal Realm used to be called the Profound Immortal Domain ten thousand years ago.

They were summoned by the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty at that time, gathering the power of the surrounding Human Clan to form an alliance to resist the invasion of the Evil God.

Their alliance hierarch was none other than the Lord of the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty—Zhou Huang.

Competent leaders from many surrounding Human Clan forces honored him as the Human Emperor.

Gu Jinlai was profoundly shocked when he came to know this information.

Shocked by the immense power of the Evil God.

However...

After he gave it some serious thought, he realized that he had simplified the idea of defeating that Evil God lurking in the depths of the Spirit Realm far too much.

What is a Profound Immortal?

They are Heavenly Immortals who contain Grotto Heavens and Heavenly Dao within their bodies.

Their greatest advantage over Heavenly Immortals who are fixed in one location is their freedom to move about.

It’s like comparing the data of two characters, where one has an attack of ten, defense of ten, and speed of zero, while the other reaches ten in attack, defense, and speed. The difference that would emerge is unimaginable.

Profound Immortals have a hundred ways to weaken a Heavenly Immortal.

For example, they can sever his Spirit Vein, expel all life around him, or simply exhaust all the Spirit Mechanism nearby.

And what if a Heavenly Immortal, even among the Supreme Powerhouses Immortal Masters, couldn’t help but leave the Grotto Heaven?

Against a Profound Immortal who carries a Grotto Heaven and Heavenly Dao, it’s almost a death sentence.

Yet, no matter how much a Profound Immortal has the upper hand over a Heavenly Immortal, they cannot avoid the fact that it’s nearly impossible for them to directly breach an Immortal Master’s Grotto Heaven.

And what about Spirit Realm Life similar to the creator?

Why did Zhao Xi build his Grotto Heaven so vast, stretching thousands of miles? Did he not know that the larger the Grotto Heaven, the harder it would be to make a breakthrough to become a Profound Immortal later on?

Not at all.

It was only a Grotto Heaven of such vast extent, supplemented with the strength of many True Immortals, that could withstand the erosion of the creator.

And this was in the case of a few creators.

If ten or eight creators attacked together, then even Zhao Xi’s vast Grotto Heaven would still succumb to the fate of being breached.

From this, one can see the might of the creator.

But as powerful as the creator is, it is just a life form created under the influence of that Evil God.

To put it nicely, they are guardians; to put it crudely, they are tools.

If tools created by the Evil God possess such terrifying power, how could the scant few Profound Immortals of the Profound Immortal Realm possibly have defeated that fearsome Evil God?

"Over the past ten thousand years, many have tried to improve the Spirit Mechanism Technique, but even a skilled cook can’t make a meal without rice. The biggest problem in our Profound Immortal Realm is not that the Spirit Mechanism Technique isn’t refined enough, but that... there really isn’t much spiritual essence left."
