Chao Jiuyin

"The Grand Imperial Scholar? The Prince of Liyang?"

Zhao Yushu was slightly taken aback.

Not long ago, Gu Jinlai defeated the Dragon Cry Demon Emperor and was rewarded, but without exception, they were all empty titles that were neither painful nor meaningful.

But this time, not only were they invited to be the Grand Master of the Imperial Household, but they were also granted the title of Prince of Liyang!?

This is a royal title!

"A senior member of the royal family has personally emerged from seclusion and is heading towards Liuhuo City for this very reason."

Yu Shaoqin added.

"The royal family has sent such important figures to intervene."

Zhao Yushu estimated that this matter was probably true.

Moment...

She seemed to have thought of something.

"Wait! Ancient True Immortal!?"

Zhao Yushu suddenly widened her eyes. "A true immortal!? That immortal who is said to live for thousands of years!? Senior Gu, he..."

"You should have known this already, right? Gu Zhenxian was originally a True Immortal Ancestor from Liyang Cave Heaven. However, due to severe injuries he sustained back then, he had to switch to martial arts to avoid the Demon God. He used the body of a Martial Saint as a cover. After arriving at the Holy Dynasty, he obtained many resources from the Holy Dynasty and finally recovered from his injuries, returning to the realm of True Immortal. He then immediately stormed into the heart of the Demonic Beasts realm, slaying eleven Demon Emperors and one Demon God, demonstrating the might of our human race's True Immortals!"

As Yu Hualou spoke, a look of longing appeared in his eyes.

He seemed to be fantasizing about what it would be like if he could also possess the power of a true immortal.

"A true immortal!?"

Zhao Yushu's eyes became incredibly bright.

A true immortal residing in this world.

This was a legend she had heard shortly after she came into this world.

It has existed for a thousand years! It possesses unparalleled and immense power!

One person can govern an entire country!

Before the appearance of the Immortal Lord, they represented the pinnacle of the world, the ultimate goal and the ultimate aspiration of all cultivators.

"Yu Shu, you should contact Ancient Immortal more often when you have time. Everyone is looking forward to when Ancient Immortal will return!"

Feng Shuanglie said in a somewhat earnest tone.

His words seemed to carry a hidden meaning.

"I... I understand. I will contact Senior Gu."

Zhao Yushu nodded emphatically.

When she first met Gu Jinlai and learned that he was King Wu, she knew that he was definitely a super powerful figure. She just didn't expect that in just one year, he would have grown to this level.

There is a true immortal-level backer...

From now on, won't she be able to walk sideways in this stormy city?

After indirectly reminding Zhao Yushu, Yu Hualou, Yu Shaoqin, Feng Shuanglie, and others quickly took their leave.

Even after everyone left, Zhao Yushu was still a little dizzy.

Gu Jinlai, the line has jumped from King Wu to a true immortal...

That's a really fast pace.

It's like jumping directly from a viscount, equivalent to the lord of a city, to a duke, a title that extends to the entire kingdom, in the Middle-earth kingdoms.

It took Zhao Yushu a while to recover from the shock of the news.

She took out the Star Shadow and entered the Blue Light Society.

The results showed that many people in the Blue Light Club were also discussing matters from Gu Jinlai.

Only...

Jin Sixian, who knew the key information, did not speak.

While some others speculated whether this "Gu Jinlai" of their Blue Light Society, they were not entirely sure.

After all, one was a Martial King, and the other was a True Immortal.

The difference is too great and too far.

It was so far away that they dared not even imagine it.

At this moment, a special ornament on Zhao Yushu's body trembled.

This is a gift that Jin Sixian gave her.

Its function is similar to that of a movie star.

However, their reach is not as extensive as that of movie stars, which can travel tens of thousands of miles; they can only communicate between nearby cities.

As Zhao Yushu activated the Spirit Artifact, a small light and shadow was quickly projected into shape.

"Senior Jin..."

"Yu Shu, is that news true!?"

Jin Sixian's expression showed a hint of excitement.

"Information?"

Zhao Yushu quickly realized what she was referring to. "Senior Gu has become a true immortal?"

"Right!"

Jin Sixian nodded emphatically. "True Immortal, that's a True Immortal. Although there are True Immortals in the Holy Dynasty, those few can only unleash their power to fight demon gods by relying on the power of their cave heavens. Compared to a true True Immortal like an ancient one, they have inherent limitations. The two are simply incomparable..."

At this point, her breathing quickened slightly. "If this news is true, do you think that if we ask the Ancient Immortal to go to the Celestial Master's Hall, he could... rescue President Chao Jiuyin?"

"Chairman Chao?"

Zhao Yushu immediately realized the feasibility of the matter.

If there truly were immortals Gu Jinlai...

Given his stature, if he were to ask the royal family for a favor, the royal family of the Holy Dynasty would most likely be unable to refuse.

"That's possible!"

After Zhao Yushu understood this, she nodded vigorously. "I... I will contact Senior Gu right away."

"Um!"

Jin Sixian said with excitement, "Although I know this matter is also very troublesome for Gu Zhenxian, I really hope that he can lend a helping hand for the sake of us being members of Blue Star... All of us in the Blue Light Society will remember his kindness..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yushu quickly took out the communication jade.

Before long, Gu Jinlai's voice came from inside. "Junior Sister Zhao? Is something wrong? Are you in trouble?"

"Senior Gu..."

Zhao Yushu organized her thoughts and mustered her courage to ask, "You... are you really a true immortal?"

"A true immortal?"

On the other side, in Liuhuo City, Gu Jinlai, who was dismantling the remains of the Xuan Yang Demon God, responded while extracting the useful materials, "More or less, you can understand it that way."

Innate divine beasts and true immortals are indeed essentially at the same level.

"Real?"

In the communication jade talisman, Zhao Yushu's voice clearly became filled with joy. "Senior Gu, could I ask you for a favor..."

"Oh, go ahead."

It has been echoed Gu Jinlai.

He wouldn't refuse to help Zhao Yushu, who was also from Blue Star and was practically an acquaintance to him, as long as there was no danger and it was within his power.

"Since you, Senior Gu, are a true immortal, and the Holy Dynasty is even inviting you to be the Grand Imperial Envoy and bestowing upon you the title of Prince of Liyang... then... could you please rescue Sister Chao Jiuyin?"

Zhao Yushu said somewhat cautiously.

"The Nine Tones of the Morning".

Those who heard Zhao Yushu's words Gu Jinlai were moved.

This one...

However, he is one of the two founders of Blue Light Club.

Xingbieli's achievement is right before his eyes. Despite being at the Core Forming Realm, he enjoys a high level of treatment. Even the Holy Lord Duanmu Ren, who is at the Void Immortal Realm, values him highly.

Chao Jiuyin also rose from the position of Grand Celestial Master to the position of Deputy Hall Master of the Celestial Master Hall, and created many instruments such as the Audio-Visual Stone and the Celestial Shadow Instrument.

This shows that he has considerable ability.

Moreover, she brought more than a dozen people from the Blue Light Society into the Celestial Master's Hall for intensive training.

It's important to know that people who can successfully "time travel" possess special qualities such as "mental talent."

Those without this talent probably wouldn't even be able to complete the time travel process and would simply be annihilated into nothingness.

The dozen or so people brought by Chao Jiuyin were clearly among the best of these "time travelers".

If we could take them in...

This will definitely be of great help to his strategy of rapidly building up his military through technology.

Having not heard from Gu Jinlai in a long time, Zhao Yushu quickly said, "Senior Gu, if it's really troublesome, then... then..."

"It's alright."

Gu Jinlai said, "You're right. Chao Jiuyin and the others are members of Blue Star just like us, and they are also the founders of the Blue Light Society. The Blue Light Society's mission is to protect and assist. As a member of the Blue Light Society, now that I have the ability to rescue them, I naturally cannot stand idly by."

"Senior Gu, you... you agreed!?"

A joyful voice came from the jade communication device.

"Um."

Gu Jinlai said, "I will go to the capital soon and bring them back personally."

"Very good..."

In the message sent through the jade pendant, Zhao Yushu couldn't help but cheer. "That's great, Senior Gu, you're so kind..."

"Hehe."

From Gu Jinlai present, one can tell Zhao Yushu's reaction...

There was an element of performance involved, but he didn't point it out, simply saying, "Don't worry, it won't take too long."

As he spoke, he thought of the movements on the Holy Dynasty's side.

Duanmu Chengyun, the patriarch of the Wuji Cave Heaven behind the royal family, is already collecting Immortal Essence Gold and plans to bring these supplies to him for a face-to-face meeting.

Then consider the royal family's attitude towards his audio-visual stones...

They clearly made a choice.

Under these circumstances, he should not face any danger traveling to the capital.

However, just to be safe...

Gu Jinlai, people have turned their attention to spiritual arts in the spiritual world.

The strongest beings in the six great grotto heavens are the six peerless illusory immortals.

However, while divine weapons are powerful and can grant those illusory immortals the ability to fight against demon gods and true immortals for a short time, what truly enables them to possess the power to battle true immortals and demon gods is the power of the grotto heaven.

The essence of the power of the grotto heaven is the spiritual energy that flows from the immortal kingdom.

The application of intuition.

Although the Spiritual Energy Technique in his possession was incomplete and fragmented, the six great grotto heavens had only been using the Spiritual Energy Technique for a short time; a dozen years would be the maximum.

This can be seen from the fact that even his minor-stage Spirit Technique could interfere with the operation of the Wind and Rain City's protective array.

Therefore...

Gu Jinlai, with a single thought, beams of clear light instantly flowed into the light cluster of the Spirit Technique.

In an instant, all sorts of applications of inspiration came to mind.

It's as if he has spent thousands of years meticulously studying the mysteries of spiritual energy. While he may not have thoroughly researched spiritual energy, he is sufficient to deal with most of the changes caused by spiritual energy.

Spiritual Art (Incomplete): Minor Success → Major Success.

Gu Jinlai, people have closed their eyes and quietly contemplated the world.

It took him a full half hour to open his eyes.

"My understanding of spiritual energy has reached a new level, but... I can sense that this spiritual energy technique is missing some key parts, so much so that even though I have mastered it to a high level, no special characteristics have been derived."

Gu Jinlai glanced at the "remnant" character after the spiritual technique was performed, and then looked at the remaining two hundred and ninety rays of clear light.

These pure lights are insufficient to elevate the Spiritual Technique to perfection.

Also...

Knowing full well that this spiritual technique is incomplete and imperfect, there is little point in improving it to perfection.

"It seems that I will still have to go to the Immortal Kingdom in the future to obtain the complete Spiritual Art. Otherwise, as the most important link in the 'Three Realms,' a flawed Spiritual Art will leave a defect even if I eventually manage to cultivate the 'Three Realms.'"

Gu Jinlai have pondered this.

A mastery of the Spiritual Art is still sufficient for use in the Holy Dynasty.

"It's time to go to the capital and meet the rulers of the Holy Dynasty."
