Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal-Chapter 654 - 628 Exposure_4

"He escaped!? But... You are a Daoist Master, summoning a strike from the Geng Metal Heavenly Dao with the power of Cave Heaven failed to slay him... Could he possibly be an Immortal Master who has infused the Heavenly Dao into his body!?"

Immortal Su Yuan found it incredible.

"He is not an Immortal Master."

Daoist Xuan Jian said, pausing for a moment, adding, "The feeling he gave me... It’s somewhat similar to the long-extinct Innate Divine Beasts... and he seems to be one of the stronger ones."

As he spoke, he affirmed his speculation, "Either he has embarked on the most ancient Innate Sacred Path, or, like you once did, Riyi, after becoming one of the Strongest True Immortals, he also got the corpse of an Innate Sacred and refined it into his body. However, the Innate Sacred Corpse he obtained must be even stronger—probably one of the most powerful and ancient ones."

"Innate Sacred Corpse..."

Daoist Xuan Jian’s words quickly made Immortal Riyi think of something, "Innate Sacred have been extinct from our world for ten thousand years, but in the Longevity World, Innate Sacred were still active in the world a thousand years ago. Their world has a much higher chance of obtaining the corpses of Innate Sacred than ours does, and this person’s connection with ’Gu Jinlai’ is unclear and suspicious..."

"Are you saying that Gu Jinlai used a corpse of an Innate Sacred to exchange for Jiang Yufeng’s services to him?"

Immortal Su Yuan also followed his sect master’s train of thought.

"I wouldn’t rule out that possibility! There is another possibility..."

Immortal Riyi glanced at the Great Elder and the Supreme Elder, pronounced solemnly, "Perhaps, Jiang Yufeng is Gu Jinlai, which would explain why Zhao Xi sent him to our Profound Immortal Realm because his power stems from the Innate Sacred."

"Innate Sacred..."

Immortal Su Yuan and Daoist Xuan Jian both nodded thoughtfully.

Following the Innate Sacred Path means directly aiming for the Great Dao.

The Power of Heavenly Dao struggles to suppress their strength, weakening their power.

Even though refining an Innate Sacred Corpse is not the same as being a true Innate Sacred, it can still reduce the influence of the Heavenly Dao on them to an extent.

In the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect, the supreme powerhouse—Master Wanxiang, controls the Earth Heaven Dao.

This heavenly path possesses a powerful suppression effect, primarily focusing on weakening and binding.

Given that this is not a secret, the people of Immortal Country would obviously target it strategically making it reasonable for Gu Jinlai, who has refined an Innate Sacred Corpse, to infiltrate the Profound Immortal Realm intending to shake the Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao.

"Have Immortal Sui Mu quickly clarify Gu Jinlai’s true background and pass the information to us,"

Daoist Xuan Jian commanded, "Also, check this Jiang Yufeng, to see who exactly he is. If he has been a well-known True Immortal for many years, he might just be cooperating with Gu Jinlai. But if he suddenly appeared out of nowhere... most likely, he is Gu Jinlai himself, then we must take swift action."

"Yes."

Immortal Su Yuan and Immortal Riyi both nodded again.

Even if Jiang Yufeng relies on refining an Innate Sacred Corpse to possess combat power comparable to a Heavenly Immortal, he must have had a significant foundation beforehand.

In other words, he was either a Strongest True Immortal or a Peak True Immortal beforehand.

Without such a foundation, even an Innate Sacred Corpse would not be able to enhance him to this extent.

Such a powerhouse, although not as conspicuous and well-known as a Heavenly Immortal, can be investigated by the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect’s information channels, which is not a difficult task.

...

"Whew!"

In a mountain wilderness tens of thousands of miles from the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect, a figure just finished meditating, exhaling softly.

This was Gu Jinlai, who had escaped from under Daoist Xuan Jian’s watch.

Of course, ’escaped’ might not be the right word.

With his current strength, truly battling Daoist Xuan Jian to the death...

Even if he plunged into his Cave Heaven for a fierce battle, it’s still uncertain whose life would be forfeit.

But it’s tough when the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect headquarters is right there.

No matter how capable he is, he couldn’t withstand an attack by the Six Great Heavenly Immortals of the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect.

In such a case, he naturally could only choose to temporarily avoid their sharp edges.

"It looks like I really need to skip the Heavenly Fire Sect and other powers of Flame River Dao, and first turn my focus to the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect, even having a reason now,"

Gu Jinlai murmured to himself, "But currently, Creation Gate falls short compared to the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect..."

After some consideration, he felt that the key to breaking the game still lies with Immortal Country.

"If Master Xuanling wants to replace Li with Tao to control the Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao of Immortal Country, could there also be a possibility that in the event someone disrupts Master Xuanling, Zhao Xi could also use this heavenly path to counteract the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect and reverse control the Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao of Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect!?"
