Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal-Chapter 608 - 600 Entering the Profound Immortal Realm

Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect in the palaces on the outskirts of the Immortal Country.

In an ordinary room, Immortal Taibai, his expression calm, sipped a type of spirit tea long extinct in the Profound Immortal Realm, unhurriedly waiting for something.

"Elder Taibai."

At this moment, a figure walked in from outside the door.

It was Immortal Sui Mu.

"Did those Immortal Masters from the Immortal Country press us to join the battle?"

Immortal Taibai, with the look of someone who had already guessed something, said, "Keep responding that my injuries are severe and I won’t be able to erupt with full force within a month."

Three months ago, he had proposed to adjust ten more Monarchs from the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect to help the Immortal Country secure a final victory on the Blood Moat Demon Abyss Battlefield, but...

He was actually refused.

Now, half a month ago, he, the absolute main force that displayed the power of the Strongest True Immortals, had been injured and had to retreat to the back.

Without him, a Monarch capable of taking on ten adversaries...

One can imagine the Immortal Country struggling on the Blood Moat Demon Abyss Battlefield.

"It’s not that, just now, Southern Sky Immortal Master had just moved his Grotto Heaven over there and is still in prime condition, showing no signs of weakness for at least a year or two. If they insist on urging us to enter the battle, it’s estimated that it will have to be after one or two years, and by then, the ten Monarchs we requested should be allowed to join us."

Immortal Sui Mu shook his head.

"One or two years? Ha, that’s quite a plan, but no matter how severe my injuries, it wouldn’t make sense to drag it on for a year or two, right?"

Immortal Taibai let out a cold laugh, "But it’s nothing compared to the option of returning to Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect to recover."

"Returning to Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect to recover?"

Immortal Sui Mu was startled, "If you were to go back, crossing the Star Gate to reach this world again wouldn’t be so simple. Currently, the Human Clan seems to have secured some advantage on the Blood Moat Demon Abyss Battlefield..."

"The calm before the storm," Immortal Taibai confidently said, "According to my analysis, the Devils should be looking for new breakthrough points in other directions. The Blood Moat Demon Abyss? Its main role has already been reduced to diverting attention from other incidents."

"Once those hidden dangers are exposed, they will definitely beg us to continue taking action," he continued, then looked at Immortal Sui Mu, "It looks like those few Immortal Masters haven’t pressed us, so what brings you here?"

"Didn’t you say that not long ago Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect rooted out several suspected Dark Sons infiltrated by the Immortal Country, suspecting that Zhao Xi had discovered something and asked me to keep a close eye on any unusual actions? I have already noticed something," Immortal Sui Mu said, pointing with an ethereal hand that set off invisible ripples.

"Is he planning to send more people to infiltrate our Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect? No wonder lately, I’ve detected a weakening in the Qi of the Heavenly Dao within his Immortal Country. Is he trying to use the Power of Heavenly Dao to conceal the presence of the people he dispatches?"

Immortal Taibai spoke, a glint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes, "Do we know where that Star Gate is located yet?"

"We have a general area," Immortal Sui Mu said, "Shall we destroy that Star Gate after we find it?"

"Destroying the Star Gate is pointless; what we should really do is to covertly locate the place to which the Star Gate leads. Once he sends someone into our Profound Immortal Realm, we can trap them like turtles in a jar..."

Immortal Taibai suggested as if he had thought of something, "However, this cannot go on indefinitely. Maybe we can unmask that Dark Son? Then monitor him and make him send information that’s beneficial to us!?"

"According to our speculation, that Dark Son dispatched by him is most likely a Monarch who recently arrived as reinforcements from the Holy Dynasty—Gu Jinlai. This can be surmised from the fact that Gu Jinlai appeared as brief as a glimpse before vanishing entirely," Immortal Sui Mu spoke.

"Gu Jinlai?"

Immortal Taibai remembered the name, "They say he’s quite powerful? Well, he wouldn’t have been entrusted with such an important task by Zhao Xi otherwise. But he really is generous; this must be the fourth batch of people, right?"

"Correct."

Immortal Sui Mu nodded, "We have already dispatched someone to investigate this person’s details."

"Whether we investigate or not is irrelevant; how could the True Immortals of this world understand the strength of our Profound Immortal Realm?" Immortal Taibai scoffed, "Once Gu Jinlai reaches the Profound Immortal Realm, he will certainly try to enter our Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect, and to shorten the time it takes to infiltrate the upper echelons, he will likely enter with Cultivation in the Returning to Void, Mahayana, or even Proving Realm. Immediately send a message to the Sect, henceforth, we must closely monitor anyone with Cultivation of Returning to Void or higher who freshly joins Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect, regardless of their seemingly trustworthy origins."

"Yes, I’ll send the message right away!"

Immortal Sui Mu nodded heavily.

"Wait, even Returning to Void is not enough! Lower the surveillance target to the Primordial Spirit Level! We must ensure absolute security!"

Immortal Taibai once again admonished.

These actions could be considered exceedingly cautious.

He let out a cold laugh, "I want to see just how many Monarchs Zhao Xi can afford to send to their deaths."

...

Having previous experience crossing the Star Gate, Gu Jinlai was in a state where he couldn’t discern up from down or any direction, but his mood remained very calm.

"Floating" in a directionless Chaos for what seemed like minutes, Gu Jinlai once again sensed direction, Primordial Energy, and Gravity.

The surrounding Chaos was also restored to a flow of light, which then reverted to an underground cavern.

As the flow of light completely faded away, Gu Jinlai set foot on solid ground and through factors such as gravity, clearly deduced the differences between this world and the Longevity World.

"Gravity is stronger here than in the Longevity World,"

Gu Jinlai quickly activated his "Child of the Stars" trait, using its adaptability to sense his surroundings.

"As expected, it’s quite barren—spiritual power between Heaven and Earth is probably less than one-tenth of that in the Longevity World."

He waved his arm and found he could hardly rally much Heaven and Earth Power to follow his motion.

In other words, even a Deva arriving in this world would probably need to expend a great deal of effort just to fly.

It might even be necessary to resort to the aid of a Spiritual Flying Sword to soar through the void, and that cannot last for long.

"Goodness, does a Deva here directly get demoted to Primordial Spirit Monarch? Then what about the Primordial Spirit Monarchs? Can the Primordial Spirits not leave the body and must, like an AI, use Divine Thoughts to more precisely control the energy within the body? Core Formation, Foundation Establishment... it truly is a world of Foundation Establishment and Core Formation."

Because the gravity in this world is much stronger than in the Longevity World, they should be able to refine True Qi fairly easily.

Similarly, due to gravity, the material structures of this world are also much more stable.

In the Longevity World, a Gang Condensation expert could destroy tons of giant rocks with one strike, but here, it’s estimated they might only leave a sword mark.

And someone at the Core Formation Realm equivalent to Hugging Pill would have extremely limited destructive power at their disposal.

"No wonder Immortal Sui Mu’s memories conveyed a sense of inexplicable superiority even when facing the masters of Immortal Countries, treating all the True Immortals and masters of the Longevity World as natives. If not for the disaster ten thousand years ago, the overall level of the Profound Immortal Realm would indeed be stronger than the Longevity World,"

Gu Jinlai thought to himself.

Of course, he wouldn’t belittle himself either.

The cultivation civilization of the Longevity World has come into being for less than twenty thousand years, while the Profound Immortal Realm...

It is said to date back to a hundred thousand years ago.

He believed that if the Longevity World could overcome the current catastrophe and continue to develop and grow, its ultimate potential would certainly surpass that of the Profound Immortal Realm.

In a hundred thousand years’ time, it would be no surprise at all if not just the emergence of Profound Immortals, but individuals reaching power levels beyond that of Profound Immortals, even comparable to the monstrous beings deep within the Spirit Realm, could come to be.

"This place is simply a future wasteland world where the resources of its planets have been completely exhausted, yet it failed to step out of its own planet."

Gu Jinlai summarized.

Through his Child of the Stars trait, he quickly became familiar and adapted to this world.

As he "merged" more deeply with this world through the Child of the Stars, he vaguely sensed a host of special wills permeating throughout Heaven and Earth.

These wills were extremely faint, so faint that if not for Gu Jinlai having been fully engaged in the Child of the Stars state, he would hardly have sensed them. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Willpowers similar to these are found in several places throughout the Profound Immortal Realm.

In addition, there were an even greater number of feeble wills scattered across the stars, so weak that Gu Jinlai struggled to detect them.

These wills tightly bound the Spiritual Mechanism Power of Heaven and Earth, nourishing themselves with this power.

Were these wills unable to bind the Spiritual Mechanism Power, relying solely on the power generated by Heaven and Earth, these essentially influential but weak wills would likely "die" off quickly.

"Heavenly Dao? Spiritual Mechanism?"

Gu Jinlai muttered to himself.

He attempted to wield the Power of Dao from the thunderous Great Dao while in the state of Child of the Stars...

The result...

There was a semblance of electric light crackling a few times in the cave, but its power was even less than the Great Divine Power of his Thunder Light Domain.

"The Great Dao is not manifest?"

Gu Jinlai sensed carefully.

After a moment, he concluded, "It’s not that the Great Dao is not manifest, but rather there isn’t enough Spiritual Mechanism Power to display the divine and extraordinary. If one could use a sufficient amount of Spiritual Mechanism Power to drive the Power of Dao, none of the expected enhancements would be missing."

Based on the information provided by Zhao Xi, coupled with what he had "personally" witnessed, Gu Jinlai realized that for every bit of Spiritual Mechanism power consumed by the Dao of one Grotto Heaven, there would be a bit less for others in the Profound Immortal Realm.

If a Grotto Heaven’s Dao used the Spiritual Mechanism power recklessly, unleashing its might, the already scarce Spiritual Mechanism power would cause a shortage in the surrounding areas or even the entire Profound Immortal Realm, and then everyone’s Dao would "starve to death."

Even now, the Dao of each Grotto Heaven needs to constantly maintain itself with Spiritual Mechanism power, not daring to pause for a moment.

Sometimes, the war between Sects doesn’t require direct action; all that is needed is for one’s "Heavenly Dao" to be a little "more diligent," absorbing the Spiritual Mechanism power of another’s range of influence, naturally causing that Sect’s "Heavenly Dao" to die. Without the power of the "Heavenly Dao," it is only a matter of time before that Sect declines and vanishes into the annals of history.

"These Heavenly Daos... are quite competitive,"

Gu Jinlai took a deep breath.

After gaining a basic understanding of the environment in the Profound Immortal Realm, he carefully surveyed his surroundings.

This cave housed several arrays.

Defensive Arrays, Confusion Arrays, Trapping Arrays, and so on; the layers of protection made it impossible for ordinary people to detect this Star Gate.

Gu Jinlai, following the method given to him by Zhao Xi, quickly located the Array Core. He then took out several Spirit Crystals from his Space Ring to maintain the operation of the Array.

After all this, he stepped out of the layers of arrays and emerged into a desolate forested mountain.

"Next, to take the place of Jiang Yufeng, I will head to Cliff City, returning to the family as a clan member who has gone out in search of immortality for twenty years and has achieved some success in cultivation,"
