Incomplete

Gu Jinlai have looked at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan remained silent.

Jin Haoran opened his mouth, as if to explain something.

Before he could speak, Liu Yuxi couldn't help but explain, "The fault doesn't lie with our Immortal Kingdom's experiment. At that time, the Demon Realm had already accumulated powerful forces and planned to enter our world. Although the Immortal Kingdom's experiment shook the Spirit Realm space and reduced the difficulty for other worlds to enter our world, it also prematurely exposed the hidden threat of the Demon Realm. Otherwise, once the Demon Realm was ready, we would probably have no power to resist and would have been completely annihilated by them."

"For ten thousand years, the battle between the Demon Realm and the Realm of Immortality has been ongoing, but its scale has always remained at a relatively low level. Even in the era before the Creator was born, although Demonic Spirit ravaged the land, they were never able to threaten the very foundation of the human race in the Realm of Immortality. Not to mention large demonic abysses that exist permanently like the Gate of the Demon Realm, even large rifts are extremely rare. The number of people who die naturally in the Realm of Immortality far exceeds the number of people killed by Demonic Spirit..."

Gu Jinlai paused for a moment, then said heavily, "But all of this changed more than a hundred years ago, after that experiment in the Immortal Kingdom."

Liu Yuxi still tried to defend the Immortal Kingdom: "Without the Creator's hunt, the Demon Realm has spawned more than thirty Sovereign Demonic Spirit in just a thousand years! The five strongest among them are known as the Five Devil Master. These five Devil Master can destroy a grotto-heaven with several True Immortals by relying only on a portion of their projected power, even if those grotto-heavens also possess spiritual power..."

As she said this, she seemed to have gained enough confidence. "Tell me, if we hadn't happened to open the passage to the Demon Realm at this time, and those Demonic Spirit had been allowed to grow stronger, would our human race still have any hope for the future?"

"If the two worlds can never truly connect, what does the strength of Demonic Spirit have to do with this world?"

This Gu Jinlai.

"What's the difference between your theory and closing the country off from the world? We humans and Demonic Spirit have always been mortal enemies; the only difference between us is hunter and prey!"

Liu Yuxi was somewhat angry. "Over the years, it is precisely because our Immortal Kingdom has been fighting bravely against the Demonic Beasts and Demonic Spirit of the Demon Realm that you have had the time to enjoy a hundred years of peace. Yet you are still here making sarcastic remarks and criticizing our Immortal Kingdom."

"Even a dignified Void Immortal can be completely brainwashed by the Immortal Kingdom? I feel that the Immortal Kingdom may not be much more enlightened than the Holy Dynasty."

Gu Jinlai, he paused, then said, "Or rather, those who can develop and climb to high positions have never had any benevolence or morality! Even if they do, it's just a shepherd's act that they've fabricated with sophistry!"

Liu Yuxi was about to say something more when Lin Yuan interrupted her, "This world has always been like this. What does it mean to be in a superior position? 'Superior' is just the opposite of 'inferior.' Only those who trample others underfoot are considered superior! How can you rise to the top if you don't trample others down?"

Looking at the Gu Jinlai, he calmly said, "The current situation is that, regardless of whether the Immortal Kingdom is good or bad, the only thing that can resist the Demonic Beasts is the Immortal Kingdom. Once the Immortal Kingdom is defeated, the whole world will become a hunting ground for Demonic Beasts."

"Brother Yuan!?"

Liu Yuxi exclaimed in surprise.

The Yuan-ge she loved so dearly had always viewed the Immortal Kingdom in this way.

So, the truth is, we have no other choice?

This Gu Jinlai.

"Yes."

Lin Yuan nodded. "I work for the Immortal Kingdom, but I don't mean I'm loyal to it. It's just that the Immortal Kingdom is my only choice. As for whether the Immortal Kingdom is right or wrong... I can't judge."

He remained calm. "What's done is done. All we can do now is try our best to make amends. If we really want to argue about right and wrong, we'll have to wait until after we've driven the Demonic Beasts away."

Jin Haoran glanced at Lin Yuan, his expression somewhat strange.

But...

He wasn't surprised that Lin Yuan could say those words.

He came from beyond the realm of immortals, after all.

But Jin Haoran is different. He is a true high-ranking official of the Immortal Kingdom. Even if he knows some of the truth about the Immortal Kingdom, he cannot say anything bad about it from his perspective.

After all, he himself belongs to the vested interest group.

As for Liu Yuxi, although she was close to the upper echelons of the Immortal Kingdom, she ultimately did not understand the truth about the Immortal Kingdom. In addition, she grew up in the Immortal Kingdom, which is why she spared no effort to protect it.

They even completely accepted the explanation that the Immortal Kingdom conducted that experiment because they were worried that the human race of the Immortal Realm would be unable to resist the growing power of the Demon Realm, and they believed it without a doubt.

"Rule has never been sacred."

This Gu Jinlai.

Lin Yuan and Jin Haoran remained silent.

Some things and some words might fool Liu Yuxi and the middle-level people who have never been in contact with the Immortal Kingdom, but they are not secrets in front of the real top experts.

The question of right and wrong in the Immortal Kingdom has never been pursued Gu Jinlai. The topic was changed. "The most crucial element in establishing a grotto-heaven is spiritual energy. Gathering spiritual energy involves spiritual energy techniques. If you want to establish a grotto-heaven in Qian Tian and control the spiritual energy of Qian Tian... I must see the complete grotto-heaven construction technology and spiritual energy techniques to discern what kind of impact they will have on Qian Tian after their completion."

"Certainly."

Jin Haoran quickly said, "We can provide the complete set of cave heaven technology and spiritual energy techniques for the Ancient Palace Master to review. Furthermore, once the 'Heavenly Dao' of the Immortal Kingdom is fully formed, we are willing to hand over the cave heaven to the Ancient Palace Master. We only hope that before that, the Ancient Palace Master can share some of the spiritual energy gathered in the Great Qian Cave Heaven with us so that we can take it to the Immortal Kingdom."

People have reached out their hands Gu Jinlai.

Jin Haoran quickly stepped forward and used his True Qi to send the three Jade Slip up.

He added, "The construction of the cave requires some key materials, which we have all brought. However, we are afraid we will need your assistance with some auxiliary materials."

"Let's talk about it after the cave-heaven technology and spiritual energy techniques are all sorted out."

Gu Jinlai, some couldn't wait to examine the spiritual technique that Jin Haoran handed over.

The Spiritual Art is the most important part of the four pillars of his innate Cultivation Method, "Three Realms," and is related to how to ultimately construct a miniature spiritual realm so that he can complete the spiritualization of life.

Previously, the Spirit Technique he obtained was only a fragment from Ding Zhongyuan, a cultivator at the Celestial Person Realm. But this one was brought out by Jin Haoran, a True Immortal, so he examined it with great care.

But just a moment later, he frowned.

However, he remained patient and continued to examine the area.

A few minutes later, Gu Jinlai took down the Jade Slip containing the spiritual technique, his expression cold.

Jin Haoran noticed the change in his emotions and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Palace Master Gu, is it... a problem with your comprehension of the Spiritual Mechanism Technique? Cultivating the Spiritual Mechanism Technique is not an easy task; it's not something you can grasp in a short time..."

"This spiritual technique is not perfect."

Gu Jinlai, people have always spoken frankly and without reservation.

Given his current status and power, he doesn't need to be careful or tactful in his words and actions.

"Incomplete? No way! This is the most perfect spiritual technique, passed down personally by Immortal Master Zhao Xi."

Jin Haoran said in surprise, "Over the past ten or twenty years, we have spread this spiritual technique to various places, and many leaders of various forces have even mastered it to a certain extent..."

"Sent by Zhao Xi?"

Gu Jinlai at Jin Haoran.

He seems to be...

It doesn't sound like a lie.

"You spread this art of spiritual energy to various places, are you also teaching this same spiritual technique?"

"Yes, we know that many holy sites are in a dangerous situation. If they can master the power of spiritual energy, they can also increase their combat strength. So in the past ten or twenty years, we have specially sent people to spread the art of spiritual energy to the large forces in the surrounding areas that are still resisting."

Jin Haoran nodded.

Gu Jinlai said, "Then there are only two explanations: either the spiritual technique passed down by Zhao Xi is incomplete, or the spiritual technique he obtained itself is flawed."

"Defective!?"

Jin Haoran shook his head. "If the spiritual energy technique they obtained a thousand years ago had flaws, that would be understandable, as the effects of spiritual energy techniques at that time were indeed very poor. But now, the spiritual energy technique has been completed by the Myriad Star Sword Sect, and it is a truly complete spiritual energy technique..."

"The Myriad Stars Sword Sect has been completed? Then there's only one explanation."

Gu Jinlai said in a deep voice, "What the Myriad Stars Sword Sect gave you was an incomplete Spiritual Art."

Jin Haoran, Lin Yuan, and Liu Yuxi looked at each other in bewilderment.

The Immortal Kingdom and the Myriad Stars Sword Sect have been cooperating for decades, and a certain foundation of trust has long been established between them. They will not doubt the Myriad Stars Sword Sect, an ally who has worked diligently for many years to help them fight against Demonic Beasts and even sacrificed the lives of many disciples, because of Gu Jinlai's words.

What they were thinking was whether, Gu Jinlai, the incompleteness of the spiritual technique should be used as an excuse to prevent them from establishing a grotto-heaven in Qiantian.

If that's really the case...

That would be troublesome.

The battlefield of Bloodswamp Demon Abyss has entered a fierce stage, and it is difficult for the Immortal Kingdom to send out a powerful force to fight against such a powerful Gu Jinlai whose combat strength is suspected to be that of a top-level True Immortal.

If it's not done well...

They had no choice but to abandon their plan to establish a grotto-heaven in Qian Tian.

Only...

The entire Qiantian region has a population of one billion!

It has more than many holy sites with profound heritage, and it would be such a pity to give it up like this.

Gu Jinlai, it's clear they thought he was deliberately making things difficult for them.

"If these spiritual techniques are indeed the work of the Myriad Stars Sword Sect, then the Myriad Stars Sword Sect may have ill intentions towards the Immortal Kingdom. And if I want to obtain the truly complete spiritual techniques, I can only work on the higher-ups of the Myriad Stars Sword Sect."

Gu Jinlai, people have had premonitions.

"It seems that a trip to the Immortal Kingdom is unavoidable."

Gu Jinlai pondered for a moment, then turned to the two of them again. "Now, let's go down first. There are quite a few people here who have come to welcome Lord Yuan."

Lin Yuan looked slightly embarrassed after hearing what Gu Jinlai had said.

If they had known that Qian Tian had such a master as Gu Jinlai, they would never have come in such a high-profile manner.

"Let's take advantage of everyone being here to finalize some things."

Gu Jinlai looked down and said, "The Qiantian has been in turmoil for over a hundred years. Various forces have carved out their own territories, and wars have raged on. It is time for true unification."
