Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal-Chapter 614 - 606: The Gift

"Treasure?"

When Jiang Yujian heard what Gu Jinlai said, he was first taken aback, then laughed, "What kind of treasure could you possibly have? Above Saints, one must prove their own Dao, and then use it to invoke the telepathy with Devas, which in turn summons the Heavenly Tribulation. Only after passing through the Heavenly Tribulation can one become an Immortal. Besides achieving Great Dao Perfection and forming a Dao Fruit, the most important aspect is casting an Immortal Body."

Continuing, he said with a smile, "As for Great Dao Perfection, well, it’s one thing that I don’t have a Dao Artifact, but our Creation Gate’s ’Creation’ Heavenly Dao is said to be directly linked to the legendary Creation Dao. Whether that’s true or not, I don’t know. But relying on the comprehension from when Master Ye activated the ’Creation’ Heavenly Dao, the Dao I’ve proven is not far from Mahayana. With the accumulation speed of spirituality in the Creation Cave Heaven, just perform the ’Creation’ Heavenly Dao deduction another thirty or forty times and it should be about there."

"Thirty or forty more times is enough?"

Gu Jinlai was somewhat surprised.

Is achieving Great Dao Perfection that easy?

Or rather, is the help from Heavenly Dao to cultivators in Enlightenment that significant?

"Just?"

Jiang Yujian looked at Gu Jinlai as if he was someone unschooled in the complexities of financial matters, "Creation Gate was once a sect with a Heavenly Immortal at its helm, just like the Heavenly Fire Sect. Although our power has declined over the years, to activate the ’Creation’ Heavenly Dao thirty or forty times, the amount of spiritual energy needed—even with regular accumulation—would still take three to four hundred years!"

After saying this, he continued, "Moreover, the resources needed to cast an Immortal Body are also quite substantial. Do you know that casting an Immortal Body isn’t as simple as just needing Immortal Essence Gold..."

"I know, you also need Heavenly Spirit Wood, Floating Water, Six Yang Flame Crystals, and Black Lustrous Divine Stones, among other Five Elements materials," Gu Jinlai calmly said. "In practice, you only need about a thousand of each type, but due to inevitable losses during refinement, with a loss rate as high as sixty to seventy percent—and for those with lesser comprehension, even reaching eighty or ninety percent—theoretically, you would need to prepare three to four thousand of each material to ensure successful coagulation of an Immortal Body."

"Our Creation Gate’s ’Creation’ Dao is specialized in perceiving the traits of various materials, and has a higher utilization rate for top-tier materials; we would not need three to four thousand of each, just over two thousand would suffice. Well, Immortal Essence Gold is one thing, but the Heavenly Spirit Wood, Six Yang Flame Crystals, and Black Lustrous Divine Stones, which require a high level of spirituality to nurture, are worth three to four times more than the Immortal Essence Gold per piece!"

"Just over two thousand of each is enough? Together, that’s more than ten thousand pieces?"

Gu Jinlai was truly astonished now.

Casting an Immortal Body is different from coagulating a Sacred Body.

It must be said, the people of this world really have a high refinement and utilization rate of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."

"You youngster, really don’t understand the value of materials," Jiang Yujian said with annoyance. "Do you even know how valuable these materials are?! Purely using these top-tier Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for cultivation, the total cost is no less than buying three to four top-grade Daoist Artifacts, and to make it clear, that’s top-grade Daoist Artifacts! If it were during the heyday of our Creation Gate, gathering these materials would not be difficult, but now..."

He waved his hand dismissively, "We can only rely on extracting Wood Element Primordial Energy, Fire Element Primordial Energy, and Earth Vein Primordial Energy from ancient forests, volcanoes, and underground over time."

Gu Jinlai ignored Jiang Yujian’s latter words and directly took out a Space Ring, handing it over, "Take a look, see if it’s enough. If it’s not, I have more."

"What’s this?"

Jiang Yujian accepted the ring in confusion, laughing, "You’re not going to tell me that this ring contains all the top-tier materials to cast an Immortal Body..."

He didn’t finish his sentence. When his Divine Thought swept over the Space Ring, he was suddenly silenced, his voice coming to an abrupt stop.

Immortal Essence Gold, Heavenly Spirit Wood, Floating Water, Six Yang Flame Crystals, Black Lustrous Divine Stone...

All five types of Five Elements materials were neatly arranged inside.

However, that wasn’t the key point.

The key was that the quantity of each of the Five Elements materials was definitely over three thousand pieces!

Even the extremely rare Heavenly Spirit Wood, Six Yang Flame Crystals, and Black Lustrous Divine Stone were no exceptions.

"How is this..."

"Oh, I seemed to have forgotten, activating the Heavenly Dao requires the use of Spirit Mechanism. Spirit Mechanism can only be collected by combining the Grotto Heaven and the Spirit Mechanism Technique in areas filled with a multitude of creatures, which I don’t have," said Gu Jinlai as he took out a box.

Even though the box was not yet open and had various sealing marks on it, the Spirit Mechanism aura seeping out still caused Jiang Yujian’s eyes to widen.

"I don’t have the power of Spiritual Mechanism, but I do have fifty Spirit Crystals refined from high-density Spirit Mechanism. See if that’s enough for you."

Jiang Yujian stared dumbfounded at the two treasures Gu Jinlai had taken out in succession, unable to recover his senses for a long time.

Gu Jinlai also handed the box over to Jiang Yujian, waiting calmly and unhurriedly.

It took more than a dozen breaths before Jiang Yujian looked down at his box. When he opened it, feeling the wave of Spiritual Mechanism Power rushing at him, seemingly able to quickly invigorate the Dao Fruit within him that was not yet conceived, he shivered and almost failed to hold the box steady in his trembling hands.

He clumsily secured the box with both hands, fearful of any damage to the fifty Spirit Crystals inside.

Fifty Spirit Crystals!

This amount was equivalent to a total of five hundred years of Spirit Mechanism that could be provided by the Creation Gate’s domain.

"Younger brother, where did you get all these things..."

"I told you, I have received the legacy of an Innate Divine Beast, which just so happened to be the kind that loves hoarding a substantial amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures," replied Gu Jinlai.

Jiang Yujian looked at Gu Jinlai, knowing that he was definitely lying.

Innate Divine Beasts storing Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures could be barely acceptable, as some Innate Divine Beasts might even be born with such treasures.

But Spirit Crystals...

They were fundamentally a technology created by humanity, combining Cave Heaven Power for the collection and storage of Spiritual Mechanism. Claiming that Innate Divine Beasts stored treasures like Spirit Crystals was even less believable than saying a tiger had saved a few hundred thousand banknotes.

However, Gu Jinlai didn’t say anything, and Jiang Yujian was considerate enough not to press on.

Fifteen thousand portions of top-tier materials!

Fifty Spirit Crystals!

This was a trove of resources that even the entire Creation Gate could not produce at the moment.

Yet now, his younger brother was offering them without hesitation, solely to support his ascension to True Immortality.

All he needed to remember was that his younger brother sincerely wanted the best for him, and that was enough.

"So, with these resources, can you forge an Immortal Body and achieve True Immortality?"

Gu Jinlai asked.

"Yes."

Jiang Yujian nodded emphatically, "Fifty chances to activate the ’Heavenly Dao’ for the Comprehension of Creation Dao, three thousand portions of various materials, if I still cannot forge an Immortal Body and prove my Dao Fruit to achieve True Immortality with these, then what right do I have to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Master Ye, and to shoulder the revival of the Creation Gate?"

"Then go, inherit the Creation Cave Heaven as soon as possible, and take control of the Creation Heaven Dao."

Gu Jinlai said.

"Younger brother..."

"The place I’ve been to during this period is not just as simple as overseas, I have other rich experiences. When the time is ripe, I will explain everything to you..."

"I know."

Jiang Yujian interrupted Gu Jinlai’s explanatory words with a wave of his hand, "You don’t need to explain, I know you must have your own fortune, but what I need to make sure of is that you are my younger brother and you won’t harm me. That’s enough."

"Right, I won’t harm you."

Hearing this, Gu Jinlai did not insist further, only saying, "I also obtained an ancient method for refining War Puppets. If you can take control of Creation Heaven Dao and assist me in refining these War Puppets, I believe that in the future, under your leadership, the Creation Gate will surely advance further. Not to mention large forces, even becoming a top-tier force or even an Overlord-level force is definitely not impossible."

"Refining War Puppets with Creation Heaven Dao?"

Jiang Yujian nodded, "Although the Creation Heaven Dao doesn’t significantly boost combat capabilities and can’t impose substantial pressure on enemies, its efficiency in crafting artifacts is incredible."

Saying this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, "However... activating the Power of Heavenly Dao often requires a significant amount of Spiritual Mechanism... It’s better not to use the Power of Heavenly Dao for crafting ordinary artifacts; the value of the final products and puppets may end up not worth the cost of activating the Heavenly Dao even once."

"Don’t worry, I have a clear idea."

Gu Jinlai assured.

"Haha, then I won’t say more. Wait for my good news."

Jiang Yujian said, then as if he remembered something, "Why don’t you come with me to the Cave Heaven to observe the ’Creation’ Heaven Dao and see if you can find an opportunity to prove yourself as an Immortal?"

"No need, didn’t you promise to let me go to Baihe City? It’s a good time for me to go out and understand the exact situation within Flame River Dao."

Gu Jinlai said, and seeing some concern in Jiang Yujian’s eyes, he added another sentence, "I’ve said it, the Path of the Innate Divine Beast is my true foundation. Compared to Cultivation at the Mahayana Realm, the Path of the Innate Divine Beast... I estimate I could even contend with a True Immortal."

"True Immortal!?"

Jiang Yujian’s eyes widened once more.

He felt the shock he received today was more than that of the past several years combined, to the point that he was becoming somewhat numb to it.

After a while, he finally exhaled deeply, "Right, to casually bring out so many top-tier materials and so many Spirit Crystals, your real strength must be stronger than I had imagined..."

After saying this, the look in his eyes towards Gu Jinlai was one of shining admiration, "No wonder you’re my younger brother, the Innate Sacred Path may be tough to tread, but the potential is incredibly astonishing, especially since the Innate Sacred Path is direct to the Three Thousand Great Dao, not suppressed by the Heavenly Dao. If you really can explore the Innate Sacred Path to its limits, the future you will undoubtedly be invincible in the world!"

"What’s the point of being invincible alone? We need to grow strong together and lead the Creation Gate to become the foremost sect in the world, that’s a real achievement."

Gu Jinlai said with a smile.

"Yes! We’ll grow strong together, carrying the Creation Gate to the top of the Flame River Dao, the Northern Region, and even the entire Profound Immortal Realm!"

Jiang Yujian patted Gu Jinlai’s shoulder firmly.

"Then I’ll wait for the moment when you come out of seclusion to take control of the ’Creation’ Heaven Dao."

"Alright, I will give it my all. There’s no time to lose, I’ll arrange the matters at hand and head to the Cave Heaven to find Master Ye for closed-door cultivation, fully committed to breaking through to the True Immortal Realm."
