Immortal refined gold can be integrated into a cultivator's divine sense and spiritual consciousness, thereby acquiring a kind of vitality similar to "life".

Therefore, this material has self-healing capabilities.

However, if enough immortal refined gold is replenished when the golden body is damaged, the repair speed will increase countless times.

There is even a theory that if a terrestrial immortal who has found his own path and whose undying will is perfected were to possess infinite refined gold, he would have a truly immortal body.

Even if torn to shreds, it can quickly heal itself by absorbing immortal refined gold.

In the High Antiquity times tens of thousands of years ago, there was a terrestrial immortal who collected all the gold in the world, refined a large amount of immortal refined gold, and stored this immortal refined gold in a Dao artifact that could be integrated into the body—the Boundless Diagram.

As a result, his golden body was shattered twelve times by his opponent, yet he still recovered each time.

In the end, the opponent had no choice but to divide his head, limbs, and torso into six separate locations, thousands of miles apart, to wear him down day and night.

Even so, several years later, the head, limbs and torso of this terrestrial immortal were still stolen by his subordinates, who helped him to reassemble his immortal golden body and once again unleash a bloody storm.

This demonstrates the healing effect of Immortal Essence on the Immortal Body.

Furthermore, the Immortal Golden Body is the most common sacred body in the world. Nine out of ten saints have forged the Immortal Golden Body. Under such circumstances, the Immortal Refined Gold naturally became the hard currency among Celestial Person, saints, and terrestrial immortals. Every sect and force stored it as a strategic resource.

"During this period, Yellow Heaven Sect, Cold Moon Sect, Huangquanzong, and Purgatory Sect all sent envoys to meet with the state lord. In particular, Purgatory Sect and Huangquanzong requested to meet with their Supreme Elders who were at the Primordial Spirit True Lord level. Perhaps we can ask if we can purchase the Immortal Refined Gold from them through formal transactions."

Xin Tianqi added, "However... even if they sell to you out of consideration for you, they might only sell ten or eight portions, which would still be a shortfall of one hundred and forty portions."

"Actually, I think there is another place where there should be a large amount of immortal refined gold."

This Gu Jinlai.

"A large quantity of immortal refined gold?"

Xin Tianqi was somewhat puzzled.

"Don't forget, south of the Milky Way, there is the richest gold mine in the entire Qian Heaven Realm."

This Gu Jinlai.

"Muzhou!?"

Xin Tianqi's expression immediately changed. "That's territory occupied by a Demonic Beasts king."

"I know."

Gu Jinlai: "The reason why the Demonic Beasts of Muzhou chose Muzhou as their first point of attack is because the gold mines in Muzhou have a huge production capacity. Haven't you noticed that the Demonic Beasts King first blocked the Milky Way to separate the north and south? In the following years, he started to gain influence in Muzhou. Their strategic purpose seems to revolve around the gold mines in Muzhou."

"Wouldn't that be even more dangerous?"

"But it also means more gold mines and immortal refined gold."

Gu Jinlai: "The Demonic Beasts have blocked the north and south for four or five years, while that super gold mine in Muzhou produces more than forty portions of immortal gold a year. In four or five years, even if the value of the gold ore and immortal refined gold stored in that mine is less than one hundred and eighty portions, it won't be much less. Even if it's a little less, we can find a way to make up for it with the Purgatory Sect, the Yellow Springs Sect, the Cold Moon Sect, and the Yellow Heaven Sect Path. At that time..."

"As you said, the Demonic Beasts chose to sweep through Muzhou first because of that gold mine. In other words, that gold mine must be heavily guarded by the Demonic Beasts, used as bait to lure us in."

Xin Tianqi said calmly.

"I can tell if it's a trap or not."

Gu Jinlai smiled slightly, "Ordinary Demonic Beasts are fine, but if it is a being like the Demonic Beasts King, who possesses the fortune of many Demonic Beasts, it can no longer hide from my eyes and ears."

This is the confidence that the perfect completion of the Qian Tian purple qi Jue brings to Gu Jinlai.

"Furthermore, the Cold Moon Sect regards Muzhou as a major threat. If our Star Province is willing to join forces with the Cold Moon Sect to launch a counterattack against Muzhou under the pretext of hunting Demonic Beasts and cultivating demon god warriors, the Cold Moon Sect will definitely cooperate fully. If all goes well, they will be able to draw away the main force of the Demonic Beasts from Muzhou for us."

This Gu Jinlai.

"This method..."

Xin Tianqi hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head. "Too dangerous."

"I know."

Gu Jinlai: "I will make full preparations."

After saying that, he glanced in the direction of the Milky Way: "The most important thing we have to do next is the Divine Sword Tournament."

"The Divine Sword Tournament..."

Xin Tianqi's expression was somewhat strange. "I think this Divine Sword Tournament is probably going to be canceled."

"Um!?"

"The governor is busy recovering Star Province and may not know that news has been circulating that three days ago, Xuan True Lord, a disciple of Wu Tiandi, the master of the Human Immortal Palace, suddenly appeared. Wielding the divine weapon Tianji Sword, he fought Primordial Spirit Realm, in a great battle north of the Milky Way. He defeated Wu Tiandi in one battle and almost destroyed the Human Immortal Palace. Five True Monarchs of the Primordial Spirit Realm died under the Tianji Sword, and countless others at the Spirit Transformation and Spirit Refining True Lord also perished!"

Xin Tianqi said in a low voice, "I've already sent people to investigate the veracity of this news, but it's being spread with great detail and doesn't seem like a rumor. If this news is true, I'm afraid the shockwaves from our epic battle with Dragon Sparrow Manor will have to be postponed, after all..."

He remarked with some emotion, "Celestial Person, Celestial Sword... these are just too many topics to discuss."

"Xuantian Venerable wielding the Heavenly Sword has shattered the Immortal Palace!?"

Gu Jinlai's pupils shrank. "He actually defeated the Celestial Person while only at the level of Primordial Spirit True Lord?"

"Unbelievable? The difference between Celestial Person and Primordial Spirit True Lord is so vast, how is it possible for someone to defy Celestial Person and even win a battle against them?"

Xin Tianqi spoke with an air of unwavering conviction, "That is the number one divine weapon of Qiantian, the Heavenly Extreme Sword."

"Celestial Sword".

Gradually, Gu Jinlai.

He had once fought against Xuan Tianzun from afar and had also been fortunate enough to witness the sharpness of the Tianji Sword.

At that time, as a Heavenly Lord, if it weren't for the Clear Light protecting him, he would have already perished under the sharp edge of the Heavenly Sword.

At that time...

Xuan Tianzun has not yet become the master of the Heavenly Sword.

He has now possessed the Heavenly Sword for so long. If he could fully master this peerless divine weapon that forged the supreme prestige of the Heavenly Emperor, cultivate to become True Lord, and defy the Celestial Person...

This seems entirely reasonable.

"A few months ago, news spread that the Heavenly Sword had been stolen, and the Divine Sword Tournament of the Ten Demonic Sects was likely to become a laughing stock. However, at that time, these news were not confirmed, and the Earth Immortal Palace did not intend to cancel the Divine Sword Tournament. But this time... the Human Immortal Palace has been completely overrun by Xuan Tianzun, and the theft of the Heavenly Sword is a foregone conclusion. This Divine Sword Tournament is likely to be canceled."

Xin Tian abandoned the Dao.

"With the Divine Sword Tournament canceled, the people from the Earth Immortal Palace will likely retreat from Canglang Mountain, and the Demonic Beasts of Crocodile Dragon Marsh will once again flood into the Heavenly River, plunging the North and South of the Great Qian back into a state of isolation..."

Gu Jinlai, he frowned.

This is not good news for Star Province.

Without Demonic Beasts to restrain him, Yellow Heaven Sect will probably be able to free up his hands.

Yellow Heaven Sect and Longque Mountain Villa are both among the Six Immortal Sects, so it's hard to say they won't take this opportunity to cause trouble.

For a moment, Gu Jinlai calmed down.

After pondering for a moment, he said directly, "Don't the people from the Purgatory Sect, the Yellow Springs Sect, the Cold Moon Sect, and the Yellow Heaven Sect want to see me? Then let's meet them."

News of Gu Jinlai's return to Dragon Roar City spread quickly.

On this day, he had just finished judging a group of heinous criminals who had been escorted by Gu Chaoyang and others, and was overjoyed when he received nine beams of clear light. Then, the Three Lives Ancestor of the Yellow Springs Sect arrived.

Gu Jinlai, Xin Tianqi has always been the one to receive him.

Only after Fang Yumin of the Cold Moon Sect, Mu Changye of the Yellow Heaven Sect, and Liu Jingtao of the Purgatory Sect arrived did he hold a banquet to entertain the representatives of the three parties.

In the main hall.

Gu Jinlai sat in the main seat, with Xin Tianqi standing beside him.

In addition, Lu Zhanfeng and Cheng Wanli were also present.

Opposite him were the elders and supreme elders of the four major powers.

Despite their varying statuses, each of them is a decision-maker, possessing the power to determine the future development of the sect.

"Thank you all for coming from afar. I understand what you mean. Please rest assured that Star Province adheres to the development philosophy of harmony and friendship and is committed to maintaining friendship with you all. Furthermore, our biggest opponent south of Tianhe should not be ourselves, but the two Demonic Beasts kings of Tianhe and Muzhou, and the Demonic Beasts army they lead."

Gu Jinlai, he emphasized, "If the major forces south of the Milky Way continue to fight and kill each other while Demonic Beasts are eyeing us covetously, what will we use to resist when the Demonic Beasts launch a large-scale attack?"

"What the Lord of Guzhou said is true. The situation south of the Milky Way is becoming increasingly dangerous. Not to mention the Demonic Beasts in the Milky Way, the Demonic Beasts in Muzhou have occupied Muzhou for nearly a year now, and have not made any big moves. I guess this is just the calm before the storm. Once the Demonic Beasts launch a large-scale northward attack, then... if we cannot unite, no single force can withstand it alone."

Yellow Heaven Sect's Makino Nagano responded immediately.

They are now hoping that no one, Gu Jinlai, or any other forces, will act rashly. They want the seemingly unsustainable Divine Sword Tournament to end, and for the Demonic Beasts to return to the Milky Way before they can recover their strength and plot something else.

Before that, it would be best if everyone just focused on their own development and didn't interfere with each other.

"I also agree with what the Lord of Guzhou said."

Yellow Heaven Sect's Three Ancestors smiled and said, "The more dangerous the situation, the more we need to unite. You have all heard of Tianyuan Dao outside the East Sea. It is a huge force with a sage in charge, but it was still destroyed by the rampage of Demonic Beasts. Although our forces have some resources, compared with Tianyuan Dao outside the East Sea, we are far inferior. If we do not want to end up like Tianyuan Dao, unity is our only choice."

Fang Yumin of the Cold Moon Sect also smiled and said, "Since everyone thinks that Demonic Beasts are the biggest enemy, I propose that we simply form an alliance, an alliance that can help each other in the event of Demonic Beasts invasion. How about that?"

Gu Jinlai, everyone has known that this so-called alliance is most likely just an empty shell, but...

That's the sense of righteousness he's after.

Without hesitation, he said, "I agree. This alliance is very necessary. If we cannot unite in the face of Demonic Beasts, the area south of the Milky Way may be in danger of destruction."

Mu Changye echoed, "After I return, I will consult the Supreme Elder of the sect. Theoretically, our Yellow Heaven Sect also agrees with Miss Fang's statement."

"If the Lord of Guzhou is willing, our Huangquan Sect will gladly oblige."

The Three Lives Ancestor chuckled.

"Our Purgatory Sect will naturally support the opinion of the Ancient Supreme without any conditions."

Liu Jingtao smiled and nodded in return.

"Then it's settled."

The matter was quickly settled, Gu Jinlai.
