Chapter 783: Chapter 680: Golden Immortal_3

Gu Jinlai pondered upon the path of the heart.

The gap between cultivators is truly not small at all.

Surpassing one another by a whole realm can lead to an advantage that is irreparable and irreversible.

But upon further reflection, it seems it should be that way.

Take Blue Star for example, with its more than two hundred countries, yet any of the top three countries, if pitted against the hundred or so nations ranked one hundredth to two hundredth, would easily dominate their combined forces.

"However, between Great Dao Golden Immortals there also exists an extremely vast gap in strength, because for Great Dao Golden Immortals, the Great Dao itself is a part of the cosmic heavens and earth. Merging with the Dao, their resistance to the erosion of the Power of Time greatly increases. As the degree of their harmony with the Dao continues to grow, their lifespans would eventually stretch towards infinity..."

Gu Jinlai flipped through the Xuanyuan Sword Scripture for related records.

Immortals can be divided into True Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, and Profound Immortals.

The core of the Great Dao Golden Immortal Realm’s cultivation lies in two words—Harmonization.

At this stage, Immortals, based on their varying comprehension of the Dao, are divided into different realms.

Once a Profound Immortal melts and masters the Dao, they become a Great Dao Golden Immortal.

Although Immortals at this stage wield the Dao and can bear the erosion of the Power of Time with the Power of Dao, they have not yet achieved full Harmonization, and so their lifespans are still limited.

Their subsequent cultivation practice is to continually increase the Matching Degree with the Dao.

When a Great Dao Golden Immortal completely merges with the Dao, they become the Dao, and the Dao becomes them, no longer leaving any trace of the Power of Time upon them.

At this stage, Immortals can truly be said to have attained Eternal Life, Immortal and Indestructible.

And such Immortals are venerated as Daoist Ancestors, known as Immortal Golden Immortals.

Immortal and Indestructible.

As everlasting as the heavens and earth, shining alongside the sun and the moon.

The Xuanyuan Sword Scripture includes not just the Chapters on becoming a Great Dao Golden Immortal, but also the parts about a Great Dao Golden Immortal becoming an Immortal Golden Immortal.

This inheritance is considered top-tier.

However, when Gu Jinlai had finished going through the Xuanyuan Sword Scripture, he realized that achieving eternal life, to be Immortal and Indestructible, is still not the limit of the cultivator’s path.

At the end of each of the Three Thousand Great Dao, there lies a terrifying entity known as a Daoist Ancestor.

They are the origins of the Three Thousand Great Dao.

Gu Jinlai looked at this part and slightly furrowed his brows.

"The origin of the Three Thousand Great Dao? Daoist Ancestors? Daoist Venerables are acclaimed as Immortal Golden Immortals, Immortal and Indestructible, eternally unfading, but if every single Dao has an origin—a Daoist Ancestor—does that not mean life and death are entirely in the hands of the Daoist Ancestors? What meaning does this Immortality hold?"

Gu Jinlai mused.

This question, he could not answer.

Neither did the Xuanyuan Sword Scripture provide an answer.

The Xuanyuan Sword Scripture is simply a Cultivation Technique that can allow one to harmonize with the Dao, and theoretically, one could become an Immortal Dao Venerable.

Descriptions about the Daoist Ancestor are also scarce and fragmented.

"For an Immortal Dao Venerable to break free from the fate of being controlled, the only way is to eradication the Daoist Ancestor lurking at the end of this Dao and take their place?"

Gu Jinlai gazed at the tome.

In the end, he shook his head, casting aside these impractical thoughts.

An Honorable Daoist is too far out of his reach.

Besides, whether or not he truly qualifies as a cultivator, or whether he should merge with the Dao in the future remains an unknown.

"Compared to a normal cultivator, I’m missing far too much. I probably can’t even cultivate the Xuanyuan Sword Scripture, at best I can only reference the cultivation methods it describes."

Gu Jinlai said, and suddenly he thought of something chilling.

The Evil God hidden within the True Spirit Realm...

Who was able to raise several weak Heavenly Monarchs in one breath, assimilating them into creators—could such a method...

Be the work of a Daoist Ancestor seated at the end of a certain Dao?

After all, even the former Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty that summoned all realms had never truly defeated that Evil God.

Gu Jinlai exhaled deeply.

For detailed information about that Evil God, he feared that he would only know once he reached the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, or perhaps the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty.

Now...

He turned his gaze onto four Immortal Techniques: Unlimited Annihilation Sword Qi, the Great Decomposition Technique, Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light, and the Thunder Punishment Eye.

To master these Immortal Techniques, and truly hold the standard of an Eight Heavens Profound Immortal wielding Immortal Techniques, was a goal to discuss.

With that idea in mind, Gu Jinlai dedicatedly began comprehending these four Immortal Techniques.

Among these four Immortal Techniques, the Unlimited Annihilation Sword Qi undoubtedly possessed the greatest power.

However, the prerequisite requirements for this Immortal Technique were too stringent; the Great Decomposition Technique and Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light even required the Cultivation of the Destruction Dao.

As someone who was not quite a cultivator, nor entirely an Innate Sacred Being, Gu Jinlai himself was uncertain if he could cultivate the Destruction Dao.

For him at present, the most likely technique he could master was, in fact, the Thunder Punishment Eye.

"The Thunder Punishment Eye... As it happens, it’s the most fitting Immortal Technique for me,"

Gu Jinlai sensed the essence of this Immortal Technique.

It was an Immortal Technique that combined search, Perception, probe, lock-on, and attack all in one.

activated at a level comparable to the Spiritual Realm of a Great Dao Golden Immortal, it invoked the Thunder Heaven Dao, bringing the Power of Destruction from the void to pass judgment instantaneously, to punish each and every fitting target.

"Once I master this Immortal Technique, my probe and Perception abilities will greatly increase. Moreover, by directing the Power of Destruction for judgment... In the future, punishing those who are utterly wicked will become much easier. I won’t have to search them out one by one; I just need to establish a rule and execute it with the summoned Power of Destruction, and almost no one will be able to resist."

Pondering the various conveniences this Immortal Technique could bring, Gu Jinlai soon sent a message to Tian Qingzi.
