Chapter 805: Chapter 689 Divine Sense, Spirit, Soul

Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect.

More precisely, it’s the Creation Gate Red Flame Canyon Branch.

At this moment, in the Red Flame Canyon, a region characterized by its rift-like scenery, a group of five people were chatting and laughing inside a courtyard built on a cliff hundreds of meters high.

Among the five, Gu Jinlai sat at the head, while the other four were Tian Qingzi and Dan Chenzi from the Longevity Pavilion, Luo Jiuxiao from the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, and Immortal Master Zhao Xi who had come from the Immortal Country in an incarnation form.

The topic of their discussion revolved around the Eighteen Layers of Heaven, Annihilation Map, and Mysterious Gate, all related to the Refining God Technique.

Even though Gu Jinlai and Luo Jiuxiao were the most advanced in cultivation among them, the Longevity Pavilion, to which Tian Qingzi and Dan Chenzi belonged, was an organization specifically focused on the study of cultivation techniques and elixirs. During the Xuanyuan Sword Sect era, they even appointed the Longevity Pavilion as the master of the Elixir Hall, highlighting their expertise in these aspects.

The remaining Zhao Xi was a rare peerless genius in the Longevity World.

Not only did he establish the cultivation system of the Grotto Heaven lineage in the Longevity World, but he also became the first Heavenly Immortal in its history, and the Eighteen Layers of Heaven Refining God Technique he created directly targeted the Peak Profound Immortal.

To achieve such accomplishments in the realm of Divine Sense with only limited materials speaks volumes about his astounding talent.

The five of them continued to exchange insights and, together with the tens of thousands of volumes of mythical books from Blue Star that Gu Jinlai acquired from Xie Yusheng, they found their path in the Spiritual Realm cultivation becoming increasingly clear.

"According to the legends from the Xuanhuang Great World, the Spiritual Realm requires passing through Nine Layers of Heaven, evolving with each layer, until after breaking through nine times, the Spiritual Realm can truly receive the Dao, capable of bearing the Power of Dao. At this time, if the nine Dao merge into one, there is hope to impact the Great Dao Golden Immortal. However, if the Spiritual Realm does not attain Dao... even if one fortuitously fuses with the Great Dao, it comes down to a stroke of luck, relying on fate and gambling with life; it cannot be replicated."

The speaker at this moment was Dan Chenzi.

This elder Immortal Master of the Longevity Pavilion seemed unremarkable by reputation, but his Spiritual Realm was astonishingly high, clearly at the level of Small Achievement in the Eighth Layered Heavens.

Even compared to Luo Jiuxiao, a top Profound Immortal, he was not at a disadvantage.

However, compared to them, Tian Qingzi and Zhao Xi at the Seventh Layered Heavens were undoubtedly a step behind.

"Bearing different Daos imposes varying loads on the Divine Sense. For example, the Destruction Dao contains the fierce and violent power of destruction. Even if one attains Dao, they might not withstand it. Perhaps only stepping into the second Dao would bring hope."

Luo Jiuxiao spoke, with a hint of feeling and sigh in his expression.

"Human Dao, Earth Dao, Heavenly Dao, Divine Dao, Eternal Life, Silent Annihilation, Six Dao..."

Tian Qingzi muttered, reflecting the Xuanhuang Great World’s teachings: "These Six Dao align quite closely with Immortal Master Zhao’s Six Realms — Human World, Purgatory Realm, Immortal Realm, Divine Realm, Netherworld, Nihility Realm — except compared to the gradual progression in the Xuanhuang Great World’s cultivation, your side remarkably allows the Six Realms cultivation and trials to be conducted without specific order, even simultaneously."

Zhao Xi, hearing this, waved his hands repeatedly: "The division of the Six Realms is merely a concept; in fact, there’s no complete cultivation method. The talk of undifferentiated cultivation is random speech, not to be taken seriously."

Saying this, he hurriedly took out a book written by Gu Jinlai: "The inspiration for the Six Realms came from here. In the mythologies of this world, the concept of transcending beyond the Three Realms and Five Elements is mentioned more than once, seemingly representing a state of Great Freedom, Great Freedom, an unrestrained realm. Therefore, in my mind, if there are real great powers, supreme beings in the world, their Divine Sense level would probably be of such Great Freedom."

"Transcending beyond the Three Realms and not within the Five Elements..."

Gu Jinlai, having come from Blue Star, was naturally very familiar with this saying.

This is the realm of the Daluo Golden Immortal in Taoist legends.

The Xuanhuang Great World also has the term Golden Immortal, but it refers to Great Dao Golden Immortal and Immortal Golden Immortal.

As for the Daoist Ancestors stationed at the Great Dao’s source, their names remain unknown.

The legends of the Daoist Ancestor stem from ancient times during the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns in the Xuanhuang Great World, and since them, no one has achieved the Immortal Golden Immortal, their accomplishments comparable to the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns.

"Regardless of whether these myths and legends are true or not, our main purpose for meeting this time is to do our best to perfect the Six Dao, or the Six Realms system. If we can deduce it to the Three Saints Realm recorded in the texts, all the better."

Gu Jinlai said.

"We will do our best."

Tian Qingzi, Dan Chenzi, Luo Jiuxiao, and the others bowed in unison.

Seeing both Immortal Masters and a Profound Immortal treat Gu Jinlai with such respect...

And coupled with the renowned achievement of Gu Jinlai single-handedly destroying the Overlord-level force of the Mo Family, Zhao Xi felt a myriad of emotions.

Years ago, Gu Jinlai had already demonstrated incomparable power.

And with the unique path of the Innate Sacred, he eventually chose to trust Gu Jinlai, allowing him to infiltrate the Profound Immortal Realm.

He never expected that in the Profound Immortal Realm, Gu Jinlai would achieve such feats! Not only did he directly annihilate the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect, but he also destroyed their upper overlord-level forces.

This is...

Even someone like Zhao Xi, who had faced numerous great storms throughout his life, found himself filled with profound thoughts as he watched many great powers bowing to Gu Jinlai.

The existence of the Evil God, in a completely different manner than we anticipated, demonstrated that even when thousands of Great Dao Golden Immortals unite, employing numerous Dao and Immortal Artifacts to perform, it can still be easily obliterated by such an Evil God. Perhaps methods related to matter and energy are utterly powerless, not even capable of offering resistance. We must reach the second Dao to have hope."

Gu Jinlai was speaking, his tone slightly pausing: "Or, it’s about the power of the Spirit, the power of the Soul."

"The standard for determining the strength of Spirit Realm Life is indeed its volume... However, the manifestation of volume is actually spirituality. They lack physical form and exist as spirituality, just as if they were to transcend beyond the Three Realms and not within the Five Elements, it seemingly reflects a certain level of freedom."

Gu Jinlai explained, his tone bearing a hint of philosophy: "’Transcending the Three Realms and not within the Five Elements’ is the realm of Da Luo Golden Immortal in Blue Star’s mythical traditions."

Xuanhuang Great World mentions Golden Immortals too, but they refer to them as Great Dao Golden Immortals and Immortal Golden Immortals.

"I have also heard this saying before. Further research into spirit is about the soul... and the basis of the Evil God’s devouring seems to interact with material and energy in an entirely different way. Given how the Evil God effortlessly vanquished the collaboration of thousands of Great Dao Golden Immortals using numerous Dao and Immortal Artifacts, perhaps the essence, the energy related methods, cannot resist it at all."

Gu Jinlai explained, his tone showed a slight pause: "Or one might say the basis of the existence of spirit and soul."

Luo Jiuxiao also nodded in agreement.

Dan Chenzi suddenly understood something, his pupils contracted sharply, "According to what you said, the Evil God... belongs to the Refining God Returning Void level beings? It doesn’t just devour minds and souls, but also the foundation of where the minds and souls exist... which is... the world!?"

In Luo Jiuxiao’s mind, a flash of inspiration struck, as he recalled the shadow of the Evil God that he had "seen" not long ago...

The world!

At that moment, he blurted out—It is the world!

Indeed...

"So that’s it, so that’s it... the world, the world."

Luo Jiuxiao kept repeating.

Gu Jinlai, Zhao Xi, Dan Chenzi, and the others immediately turned their gaze toward him.

Seeing this, Luo Jiuxiao directly said, "Let me share with you all the ’Evil God’ True Body that I saw."

Immediately, a fluctuation of Divine Thought spread, which the four people absorbed one after another.

In that moment, even though they couldn’t experience the full spiritual impact brought by the Evil God’s True Body, the grandeur and magnificence of such life continued to shock the hearts and minds of the four.

"Is this... this is the terrifying existence hidden in the depths of our True Spirit Realm? The great life that created the creator!?"

"In this world... such an existence actually exists!?"

"Evil God True Body!"

The crowd was deeply shaken, remaining silent for a long time.

Even Gu Jinlai didn’t speak for an extended period.

For the first time, doubt sprouted in his heart.

In the face of such a concept that is almost equivalent to the "world" itself, what method should one use to destroy it!?

Just like ordinary people can destroy flowers and trees, can demolish skyscrapers, but what if they have to destroy the air?

How to destroy that!?

"No! It can be destroyed!"

Gu Jinlai’s gaze gradually became sharper, "Why can’t it be destroyed!?"

Why can’t the air be destroyed!?

The reason why people feel helpless when facing this question is because their own power is not enough.

If this person is powerful enough to destroy stars with a single blow...

When even stars no longer exist, wouldn’t the atmosphere also disappear into the starry sky?

And the world cannot be destroyed, simply because his realm level is not sufficient.

As long as his realm level continues to ascend, reaching Daoist Master, even Dao Ancestor level...

The final step of Refining Void and Unity is to trace origins.

Dao Ancestor also represents a certain kind of origin.

Then, is there a possibility that Dao Ancestor belongs to origin beings!?

Or possesses the nature of some kind of origin being.

If this speculation of his is true, upon achieving Dao Ancestor, he will surely be able to kill this Evil God.

"The reason I convened them to discuss the perfection of the Six Realms Cultivation Techniques was to make myself stronger, so that one day in the future I can resolve the threat of the Evil God."

As for why Immortal Golden Immortals can’t conquer the Evil God...

If the Immortal Golden Immortals can’t do it, then the Dao Ancestor can.

As for how to endure the Dao Ancestor’s purge of Immortal Golden Immortals attached to the Great Dao, to grow to such a level...

Gu Jinlai’s gaze fell upon Zhao Xi’s three-layered theoretical realms derived from mythical books.

Great Red Taiqing Saint Realm.

Yu Yu Shangqing Saint Realm.

Qingwei Yuqing Sacred Realm.

In the Xuanhuang Great World’s books, there is also speculation that some of the oldest Immortal Golden Immortals with strong Spiritual Realms, upon advancing to a certain supreme domain, cannot be easily erased even by the Dao Ancestor who mastered that Great Dao.

However, these books only slightly touched on it, more like the unwilling fantasies of ancient existences such as the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns, without basis...

But, the three-layered realms mentioned in Blue Star’s books led him to similar associations.

Perhaps...

There truly are Immortal Golden Immortals that can withstand the Dao Ancestor’s purge.

Otherwise, there’s no explanation for why some Immortal Golden Immortals can live for tens of billions, even hundreds of billions of years.

No matter how lenient the Dao Ancestor, they wouldn’t refrain from purging the Great Dao for such a long period, would they?

It’s like a person, no matter how lazy, would not go years without bathing once.

And to withstand the Dao Ancestor’s purge, is it not far from achieving Dao Ancestor?

With this in mind, Gu Jinlai calmed down, "Let’s continue to discuss how to cultivate the Six Realms and Six Dao techniques."

Dan Chenzi, Tian Qingzi, Luo Jiuxiao, and the others exchanged glances, quickly regaining their calm too.

At this moment, Zhao Xi’s spirit stirred, and he frowned.

Soon after, this incarnation of his glanced at Gu Jinlai, "The location of the newly opened Demon Abyss in the Demon Realm has been found."
