Chapter 800: Chapter 687: Blue Star and the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty

"Boom!"

Thunder broke the sky.

Hundreds of True Immortals and Void Immortals from the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect turned to ash amidst reluctant curses and tragic screams.

Even though it wasn’t the first time they witnessed this scene, the representatives from the Longevity Pavilion and other aligned forces still felt a chill run down their spine.

The actions of Sacred God Jiang...

were truly fierce and violent.

After purging the first group of people from the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect, Gu Jinlai’s figure flashed, appearing on top of a warship.

This was a replica of the Blue Sky Warship recently produced under the guidance of Yan Xingchen for Jiang Yujian using the Creation Heaven Dao.

Although Gu Jinlai himself could fly much faster than others, cleaning up a whole area was somewhat troublesome, and he had to consider matching the speed of the others, so having a means of transportation was essential.

Of course, with top and large forces from the Northern Region beaten down and the addition of powers like the Longevity Pavilion, Gu Jinlai could now divide his forces and conquer.

He could let the others cleanse the Sects first, seize all those who committed heinous crimes, and wait for his arrival for judgment.

In this way, a lot of time was saved.

Otherwise, considering the vastness of the Northern Region and its numerous forces, Gu Jinlai would need at least three to five years to cleanse all the Sects in the Northern Region.

...

On the spacecraft, Gu Jinlai injected the seed containing the Yimu Heavenly Dao that he had taken from the Chi Xuehe directly into the Nihility Core.

With the integration of this Heavenly Dao, the five Heavenly Daos within the Nihility Core seemed to have formed a peculiar connection, resonating with one another, endlessly generating life.

In a vague sense, Gu Jinlai had a realization.

If he wished, the Void Space didn’t have to remain void; he could introduce an abundance of materials such as water, trees, flowers, rocks, and rivers.

However, because the Void Space was not a perfectly regulated Small World, even by bringing in these plants and trees, he could only manage to accommodate them.

It was like putting these things into a storage ring.

At best, he could utilize the Five Elements Heavenly Dao to refine the materials, extract Immortal Essence Gold from metals, cultivate Heavenly Spirit Wood from trees, extract Floating Water from rivers, and nurture Six Yang Flame Crystals from the Earth’s fire and so forth.

"It’s not just that."

After sensing it carefully, Gu Jinlai soon reached a conclusion.

If he could inject Creation Heaven Dao into the Nihility Core...

In the future, as his Great Sun Core continued to grow, he wouldn’t need to take a sharp breath, causing winds and clouds to surge within hundreds of miles; he could rely on the mystery of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao and the Creation Heaven Dao to generate the required Hydrogen Element and Helium Element in his body, thus continuously supplying the consumption of the Great Sun Core’s fusion.

This way, he would become even more self-sufficient.

"As the power of the Great Sun Core increases, my absorption of the omnipresent Hydrogen Element in the world has been growing more and more significant. When I reach Perfect Seventh Layer, a single breath will cover a thousand miles... And if I advance to Perfect Eighth Layer, or Perfect Ninth Layer... the entire atmosphere won’t be enough to sustain my intake, and the notion that me inhaling might lead to global warming is no empty threat."

Gu Jinlai mentally noted.

With material transformation within the Nihility Core, everything would be much easier.

"To perfectly transform materials, it would be best to master the Creation Heaven Dao... or even the Creation Dao."

This idea flashed through his mind.

Speaking of Creation Dao...

Within the Creation Gate, there is a method to cultivate the Creation Heaven Dao.

The Creation Heaven Dao is the core of the Creation Dao.

The other eight Heavenly Daos are the Five Elements, Thunder, Yuan Ci, and the Life Heavenly Dao.

Among these Heavenly Daos, he already possessed the Five Elements and Thunder Dao; Creation Heaven Dao could be cultivated by himself, and there were also ways to obtain Yuan Ci Heavenly Dao and Life Heavenly Dao.

Whether through plundering or cultivating, it was not difficult.

After all, with the Grotto Heavens of the Immortal Country in the Longevity World continually being established, it wouldn’t take long for him to receive the entry of thousands of Spirit Crystals a year, and the cost to cultivate a Heavenly Dao would only be about two or three thousand Spirit Crystals.

That’s under the condition that the population of the Longevity World remains unchanged.

If the Longevity World hadn’t experienced war and was in its zenith from hundreds of years ago, accumulating Spirit Crystals by the tens of thousands per year wouldn’t be a problem.

Even now, cultivating three Heavenly Daos would take just about ten to eight years, which was insignificant for the Heavenly Immortals and Profound Immortals, who could live for thousands of years.

"The Creation Dao will be one direction in strengthening myself in the future, and another direction will be becoming an Innate Sacred."

Gu Jinlai felt the corpse of the Great Sun Golden Crow that Bai Shengyang had placed in the Storage Treasure.

Though it was merely a corpse, it was still over a kilometer in size, and even after death many years ago, each bone still blazed with golden flames, emitting terrifying high temperatures.

As Gu Jinlai observed, he had already matched the variety of Heavenly Dao Patterns inscribed on the bones of this Innate Sacred...

The Flame Heavenly Dao, Lightless Heavenly Dao, Blazing Heavenly Dao, Creation Heavenly Dao, Annihilation Heavenly Dao, and so on...

Yes!

Gu Jinlai actually spotted traces of the Creation Heaven Dao within the corpse of the Golden Crow.

However, this Great Sun Golden Crow had been dead for many years, and only a tenth of its Dao patterns remained. At best, they could only inform Gu Jinlai about what kind of Heavenly Dao and through what method this Innate Sacred should be nurtured and cultivated. As for whether it could truly transform into an Innate Sacred...

That would depend on whether the cultivator’s own talent and external environment allowed it.

"Two kinds of Great Dao..."

Gu Jinlai murmured to himself.

If the Great Dao Golden Immortal simply minimized the burdens of the eroding years to extend their lifespan tenfold or a hundredfold, then...

An Immortal Golden Immortal would have a truly immortal life.

As long as the Daoist Ancestor situated at the source of the Great Dao did not impose a cleansing calamity to clear the Immortal Golden Immortals from this path, they could continue to exist indefinitely.

The records in the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty suggested that the oldest Immortal Golden Immortal had already lived for over a hundred billion years.

And yet...

He had not died.

The immortal life granted the Immortal Golden Immortals no need to worry about the threat of passing time; their only concern was the potential fall in a life and death struggle with an enemy of the same realm.

Therefore, Immortal Golden Immortals of similar strength would do everything in their power to cultivate powerful Immortal Techniques and refine strong Immortal Artifacts to enhance themselves.

A small portion of Immortal Golden Immortals even chose to cultivate additional Great Dao.

But...

The Daoist Ancestor lurking at the end of the Great Dao could choose to cleanse the Immortal Golden Immortals attached to it at any moment.

This cleansing would be a wipeout directly from the source of Divine Sense.

There was no chance for Immortal Golden Immortals who had developed incarnations or avatars to survive.

Thus, the more Great Dao one cultivates, the higher the risk.

Apart from those Immortal Golden Immortals who aspire to transcend and match or surpass the Daoist Ancestors, or those Supreme Taoists whose spiritual realms can withstand the casual obliteration of the Daoist Ancestors when they cleanse the Great Dao, no Immortal Golden Immortal would truly take this step.

"In theory, my cultivation of both the Innate Sacred Path of the Great Sun Golden Crow and the Creation Dao should pose no problem, after all, the frequency at which Daoist Ancestors cleanse the Great Dao is often calculated based on the number of Immortal Golden Immortals attached to it; the more there are, they might cleanse once every million or even a hundred thousand years, while for those Great Dao that are not cultivated by anyone... with few Immortal Golden Immortals attached, the Daoist Ancestors might only cleanse once every hundred million, several hundred million, or even a billion years..."

Gu Jinlai felt that, with enough Qingguang, not to mention a hundred thousand years, perhaps he could cultivate to the top tier in just tens of thousands of years and had nothing to worry about.

But the problem is...

The actions of Daoist Ancestors are hardly predictable.

The more Immortal Golden Immortals attached to the Great Dao, the greater the probability of being cleansed by them, true, but some Daoist Ancestors act on a whim and, upon developing a certain telepathy, cleanse it two or three times in ten thousand years.

In such cases, the odds of gambling are too high.

After pondering for a moment, Gu Jinlai made a decision, "Let’s cultivate anyway; as long as one doesn’t fully merge with the Great Dao to ascend as an Immortal Golden Immortal, even if one is ninety percent merged, there is still a glimmer of hope to survive the Daoist Ancestor’s cleansing of the Great Dao."

Immediately, he decided to cultivate both the Innate Sacred path of the Great Sun Golden Crow and the Creation Dao.

Cultivating multiple Dao carries the risk of deviation, which would have to be mitigated by the Spiritual Realm.

Once again, Gu Jinlai took out the Refining God Technique known as the Mysterious Gate and studied it intently.

Before long, he had a plan in mind.

"The Mysterious Gate consists of six layers, each opening a doorway in the spiritual world; one can begin cultivating the first layer at the Profound Immortal Realm, and when four doors are open, the Spiritual Realm would be on par with that of a Great Dao Golden Immortal..."

Though this Spirit Refining Method is more intricate than the Annihilation Map because it specializes in refining Divine Sense, its value might not necessarily be higher than the Annihilation Map.

But...

In comparison to the Annihilation Map, the Mysterious Gate introduced a realm.

A realm...

That seemed very similar to the Nine Layers Heaven, Six Realms, and Three Saints mentioned by Zhao Xi.

"The Spiritual Realm described in the Mysterious Gate seems to be a standard realm utilized within the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty, with each elevation in the Spiritual Realm representing a transformation in spiritual thinking, akin to breaking through one layer of heaven and earth. It seems that under the influence of the Heavenly Dao, the number nine is also a supreme number in the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty, hence encompassing the Spiritual Realm from True Immortal to Profound Immortal within Nine Layers Heaven; ascending further... corresponding to the Spiritual Realm of the Great Dao Golden Immortal, they called them Six Dao..."

Though it was Six Dao instead of Six Realms, it still stunned Gu Jinlai significantly.

Add to that the existence of legends about the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns within the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty...

A thought suddenly surged in his mind...

"The Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty speaks of the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns, and the Ancient Xia Civilization of Blue Star has similar stories about the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns that I am also familiar with... this Xuanhuang Great World and Blue Star... could they be related?"

He then considered the numerous cultivation records on Blue Star and those long-standing mythological tales that no one had been able to verify.

There was also the Three Saints Divine Sense Cultivation Method that Zhao Xi had organized from the cultivation books of Blue Star...

For a while, he took a deep breath.

"It seems that once the Chen Domain’s Realm Gate is constructed, I’ll have to make a trip to Blue Star to uncover the truth between these two worlds."
