Heartfelt Submission

From Gu Jinlai from the border of Orange State, traversing three hundred miles.

After casually killing a Primordial Spirit True Lord, he, like a golden ray of light, broke through layers of atmosphere and appeared behind Gaia, the Celestial Person of the Earth Mother Cult who was known as the Goddess of the Earth.

Eight propulsion engines emitted dazzling blue light, allowing him to maintain a cruising speed of five or six times the speed of sound.

Although it takes a little time to stop and accelerate, which means it has some impact on maneuvering, his speed advantage is still too great compared to the Celestial Person who can only fly at a maximum speed of three times the speed of sound.

"Monster! Monster!"

Gaia looked at the metallic figure behind her, her eyes filled with deep despair.

Just like Lu Zhanxian and the others who were targeted by them earlier.

Knowing full well that he could not escape, the Celestial Person quickly put on a smile and said, "Lord Gu, spare my life! Our Earth Mother Goddess Sect is willing to join Lingxiao City and follow its orders from now on."

What awaited him was the Chengying Sword, which had been raised without hesitation Gu Jinlai.

"Spare me!"

Gaia was filled with intense emotions and pleading.

But then she seemed to realize something.

Trust is fundamental!

There is no basis of trust between her and Gu Jinlai.

Not long ago, she even planned to trick Gu Jinlai into revealing his trump card, which could unleash the power to annihilate Celestial Person.

In this situation, it would be a miracle if she were to openly surrender and Gu Jinlai.

Upon realizing this, she immediately shouted, "Primordial Spirit Crystal! I have a Primordial Spirit Crystal! I am willing to infuse my Primordial Spirit into the Primordial Spirit Crystal and hand it over to the Ancient Heavenly Lord to demonstrate the sincerity of my Earth Mother Goddess Sect!"

"Yuanlingjing."

Gu Jinlai, the sword in his hand has slowed down slightly.

In this world, there are quite a few poisons, venomous insects, and strange objects that can control others.

However, True Person Spirit Refining can achieve absolute control over themselves. Even if they ingest something poisonous, they can vomit it out by moving their stomach.

As for the Gu worms, they can be killed through precise manipulation of internal True Qi.

If even True Person Spirit Refining is like this, let alone Celestial Person who has achieved spiritual sublimation and whose spiritual perception is even more acute and whose control is even more meticulous.

There are very few treasures that can control Celestial Person beings.

But the Yuanling Crystal is one of them.

The Yuanling Crystal can effectively bind the power of the Primordial Spirit), and the controller can also use their own Primordial Spirit power to interfere with the Primordial Spirit of the person bound by the Yuanling Crystal.

If the Yuanling Crystal is controlled by a Heavenly Lord who has mastered powerful soul techniques, the Primordial Spirit Crystal can be used as a medium to destroy the opponent's soul.

The core of the spirit of the Celestial Person is still the Primordial Spirit.

True Lord, even Celestial Person and Saints, can control a Celestial Person through the Yuanling Crystal. The greatest means of restraint is to destroy the Yuanling Crystal and thus severely damage the opponent's primordial Primordial Spirit.

The Heavenly Lord, who possesses powerful soul-secret techniques...

To control this thing is equivalent to controlling the life and death of a Celestial Person.

Seeing that Gu Jinlai stopped, Gaia quickly took out a crystal the size of a pigeon's egg. "The Yuanling Crystal is in my hand."

Gu Jinlai at the bag she was carrying.

This is a storage bag.

It is made from a special material.

Once refined, it can hold several times more spiritual materials than its original size.

Of course, most storage bags can only hold items with a diameter of about one cubic meter, and these items must be imbued with spiritual energy.

Gaia noticed Gu Jinlai's gaze, and despite her heartache, she handed over the pouch with a forced smile, "Over the years, I have collected some fine spiritual items through the Earth Mother Goddess Cult. I now present them to Lord Gu. Please accept them with pleasure."

Gu Jinlai took the bag without hesitation and said, "Alright, now infuse your Primordial Spirit into the primordial spirit crystal."

After hearing what had been said Gu Jinlai, Gaia felt a sense of sadness at having to live under someone else's roof from now on, but she also breathed a sigh of relief.

At least...

No need to die.

Moreover, although the Heavenly Lord can use his soul techniques to inflict fatal damage on the Celestial Person by controlling the Yuanling Crystal, if she can comprehend the Undying Will, then with an undying will, she may be able to withstand his soul techniques and regain her freedom.

Immediately, she quickly separated a portion of her Primordial Spirit and injected it into the primordial spirit crystal.

Then, with a beaming smile, he handed over the Yuanling Crystal: "Thank you, Lord Gu. From now on, the Earth Mother Goddess Sect will become the sharpest sword in Lord Gu's hand, clearing away all obstacles for Lord Gu to unify the world."

"I hope you won't disappoint me. Now, go and deal with the Primordial Spirit True Lord the Earth Immortal Palace and the Human Immortal Palace."

This Gu Jinlai.

Lingxiao City's power was ultimately too weak.

Despite today's battle proving that the Cheng Ying mech is indeed invincible below the Saint level.

Even saints...

It's not necessarily impossible to put up a fight against one or two.

However, Lingxiao City only had one truly capable expert among them.

In today's battle, he killed two Celestial Person and more than a dozen True Lord from the True Immortal Palace, and the two sides have completely broken off relations.

Once the experts from the True Immortal Palace launch an attack from all sides, he will be alone and unable to defend himself.

In this situation, having Gaia, a Celestial Person- level combatant, would still be somewhat useful.

Even if Gaia's submission was not entirely willing, he would soon make a move against Muzhou.

Once he conquers Muzhou and seizes its gold mines, he can build a second Chengying mech in two or three years at most. If Gaia still doesn't recognize her place by then, he won't mind giving her an Eternal Curse.

"Yes."

Gaia responded respectfully and quickly sent a message to the Primordial Spirit True Lord the Earth Mother Goddess Cult.

Seeing that Gu Jinlai had subdued Gaia, the Celestial Person, Lu Zhanxian, Youquan True Lord, and others stopped their indiscriminate killing of these Primordial Spirit True Lord and instead began to hunt down the Primordial Spirit True Lord of the True Immortal Palace.

Gu Jinlai the allure of the pure light emanating from the True Immortal Palace's Primordial Spirit True Lord, they turned their gaze to Gaia and the others.

And this Celestial Person of the Earth Mother religion is also extremely decisive.

They launched a swift and decisive attack, killing the True Lord of the True Immortal Palace one by one, demonstrating their resolve.

After all, their combat prowess Gu Jinlai seems to be no less than that of a saint.

With both the True Immortal Palace and Lingxiao City possessing sages, it seems there's little difference between siding with the True Immortal Palace or Lingxiao City.

Although the True Immortal Palace has a stronger foundation than Lingxiao City, it is a thorn in the side of the Three Pure Ones Palace and the Great Qian Imperial Family.

In contrast, Lingxiao City has no conflict with the Sanqing Palace and has even made deals with the Great Qian royal family.

In this situation, Lingxiao City seems to have a better future.

The battle soon came to an end.

Lu Zhanxian, Youquan True Lord, Fang Daoqian and the others looked at Gu Jinlai, whose armor was almost completely undamaged, with burning eyes.

Gu Jinlai nodded to them and turned to Gaia: "Since your Earth Mother Goddess Cult has switched allegiance to our Lingxiao City, it is no longer safe for you to stay in the Oasis. After all, the Oasis is too close to the Earth Immortal Palace. I will give you two choices. One is to move your entire sect to the Tianhe area to patrol the Tianhe River. I will give you the northern part of Huangzhou for you to recuperate. The other choice... is to continue to stay in the Oasis."

As he spoke, he added, "If we stay in the Oasis, the Earth Mother Cult might be completely wiped out by the Earth Immortal Palace's retaliation, or the Blood Demon Emperor Luo might be afraid of my existence and dare not attack the Oasis. The choice is up to you whether you are willing to take a gamble."

"Us..."

Gaia pondered for a moment.

If she were to move her territory to Huangzhou, she would undoubtedly be very close to the Gu Jinlai, and even if she wanted to quietly condense an undying will, it would not be an easy task.

But if we stay in the oasis...

Although there is danger, the deterrent power of this seemingly saintly warrior is present Gu Jinlai. In addition, the True Immortal Palace has always been the target of the Great Qian Dynasty and the Three Pure Ones Holy Palace. Therefore, the probability of the True Immortal Palace launching a full-scale attack to wipe out the Earth Mother Goddess Cult is not high.

With this in mind, she made a decision. "Our Earth Mother Goddess Cult is willing to continue to stay in the Oasis to monitor the movements of the Earth Immortal Palace and the Human Immortal Palace. If these two major forces make any unusual moves, we will report to the Ancient Prefecture Lord immediately."

"Can."

Gu Jinlai nodded. "I will send someone to represent our Lingxiao City to go there, partly to deter the Earth Immortal Palace, and partly to assist you in your actions."

Gaia knew that this person, though claiming to be an assistant, was actually a spy.

However, she also understood that no one, Gu Jinlai, would truly be able to completely trust her to stay in the Oasis just because of a single Yuanling Crystal.

Sending someone to supervise is perfectly normal.

At this moment, Lu Zhanxian suddenly said, "In today's battle, we have broken ties with the Human Immortal Palace, the Earth Immortal Palace... or more precisely, the newly merged True Immortal Palace. Whether we like it or not, we may be targeted by the True Immortal Palace, both openly and secretly. In order to ensure the safety of our sects and to facilitate the mobilization of manpower and the allocation of resources, I suggest that we simply merge our major sects into one and establish a brand new force."

Upon hearing this, True Lord, Fang Daoqian, Jin Hong, and the others all changed their expressions.

After a moment of changing expressions, everyone began to ponder the feasibility of establishing a new force.

Although they were not truly unified before participating in the Divine Sword Tournament, in the eyes of forces such as the Earth Immortal Palace and the Human Immortal Palace, the major sects south of the Milky Way and Lingxiao City were already considered as a single entity.

Even the Cold Moon Sect, the Purgatory Sect, and the Yellow Springs Sect themselves have come to realize that they may be swallowed up by Lingxiao City in the future.

They were simply unwilling to accept it.

Not long ago, when Lu Zhanxian, Youquan True Lord, Fang Daoqian and others faced Gaia, Xiao Celestial Person, and a group of Primordial Spirit True Lord, the deep sense of powerlessness and despair they felt still irritated them at this moment.

This time, they relied on Gu Jinlai overcome the disaster.

But what will happen to them if they encounter this situation again in the future?

What will become of their sects?

Those who follow the rules live, those who defy them die.

Looking back at Gu Jinlai...

The two Celestial Person were just moments ago so powerful they were suffocating and filled them with despair—one was killed on the spot, and the other bowed down in submission...

Even someone as powerful as Celestial Person was willing to follow Gu Jinlai at his side, so how long will they continue to be so ungrateful?

Moreover, integrating into Lingxiao City does not necessarily mean the demise of their heritage or the end of their sect; it may also signify a new beginning.

An unprecedentedly bright future awaits them!

Upon realizing this, True Lord Youquan and True Lord Primordial Spirit, immediately made a decision.

"I agree with Lu True Lord's suggestion. The situation is becoming increasingly perilous, and a great change is imminent. The area south of the Milky Way cannot continue to be a disorganized mess."

The Way of the True Lord of the Nether Spring.

"Indeed, only under the leadership of the Ancient State Lord can our major sects stand firm and develop safely in the great changes to come."

Fang Daoqian also echoed this sentiment.

At that moment, they exchanged a glance with Lu Zhanxian, then turned around at the same time and bowed to Gu Jinlai with heartfelt respect. "Please, Lord Gu, unite the various sects and take charge of the overall situation in Tiannan!"

Only one chapter tonight.
