Crossroads

In the void, two figures "flowed" forward in the air as if suspended.

This is Gu Jinlai and Liu Feiyun, who came from Qian Tian.

Every now and then, some demonic birds would sense the true Spiritual Qi of the Heavenly Lord on his body from afar and rush over with screams.

Before he could even get close, he was killed in mid-air by Liu Feiyun's sword.

Even those powerful birds comparable to Demonic Beasts kings are no exception.

During this period, although Liu Feiyun had not yet broken through to the Saint Realm, she had already accumulated to the peak of the Celestial Person. She was only one step away from condensing her Undying Will before she could begin to forge her Saint Body.

In addition, she wields a divine weapon, and with its power, she can even kill a Demon Emperor-level flying beast head-on, let alone these Demon King-level flying beasts.

During the flight, Liu Feiyun checked the map and quickly realized something. "Palace Master, the Yinglong Holy Land should be ahead. This holy land... seems to still be putting up resistance?"

As she spoke, she looked out and saw dozens of sword lights shooting straight into the sky, fighting with a demonic bird.

"Yinglong Sacred Land".

Gu Jinlai have been impressed by this sacred place.

In the era of Emperor Tai'a, Emperor Tianji, and Wushi True Person, Tai'a once wielded the divine weapon Guangming and swept across the eight wastelands and six directions. One powerful holy land after another was defeated by him and had to be incorporated into Qiantian.

The current Muzhou, Hanzhou, and Yanzhou all originated from this.

However, when Tai'a advanced further west after conquering Yanzhou, he encountered the powerful Yinglong Holy Land.

No one knows the outcome of that great battle. Rumors circulated that Tai'a gained a substantial profit and returned to Qian Tian.

But after that, Qian Tian never expanded westward again.

As the chaos caused by Demonic Beasts ensued, Yanzhou and Yinglong Holy Land were separated by a vast desert and the Demonic Beasts that inhabited it, and the two sides lost contact.

Now it seems...

The Yinglong Holy Land back then was probably so powerful that even Tai'a, who possessed the strongest power of a Void Immortal, was helpless against it.

"Ten Celestial Person and thirty-two Primordial Spirit True Lord actually dared to fight the Demon Emperor; they certainly have a lot of courage."

This Gu Jinlai.

"This Demon Emperor's main demon body should be that of a bird, and its secondary demon body is the main battle demon body. Its combat power is slightly weaker than that of a normal Demon Emperor. In addition, it was injured, which is why it was chased by ten Celestial Person and thirty-two Nascent Primordial Spirit True Lord."

Liu Feiyun glanced at it and said.

"We are all human, let's lend them a hand."

Gu Jinlai.

"Yes."

Liu Feiyun responded with a shout, her figure gracefully rising as she charged straight towards the Demonic Beasts.

Gu Jinlai, they have always watched quietly from the rear.

The rumor from a hundred years ago came to mind.

According to legend, Tai'a was defeated only after the sacred land of Yinglong summoned the innate divine beast Yinglong.

As a primordial divine beast, its lifespan is usually over a thousand years. Only a hundred years have passed, so it shouldn't be dead yet...

I wonder if he can take this opportunity to meet this innate divine beast?

"Yinglong..."

From Gu Jinlai present, people have been muttering to themselves, "I wonder if it's a coincidence, but it seems that there are similar creatures on Blue Star."

Not only Yinglong, but also legends of similar creatures such as Qilin, Zhuque, and Zhulong are occasionally mentioned on Blue Star.

He didn't know whether the realm of immortals and the High Antiquity world of Blue Star had truly intersected, leaving behind legends, or whether all the innate divine beasts were influenced by some unknown entity and grew into forms like Yinglong, Zhuque, and Qilin.

The so-called Yinglong, Zhuque, and Qilin are actually racial names, not simply referring to a particular mythical beast, but rather to a certain race of mythical beasts.

Just like the "human" race.

As Gu Jinlai watched Liu Feiyun go to rescue the people from Yinglong Holy Land, he seemed to vaguely sense something.

It seemed like someone was calling his name.

As he concentrated and listened attentively...

The perception seemed to transcend time and space, landing on Xie Yusheng, who was far away on Blue Star.

"The Void Projection Technique, once perfected, can actually generate such a wondrous ability? Because of the 'assimilation' characteristic, a connection has been established between us in the Unseen?"

There have been some surprises Gu Jinlai.

This void projection technique...

It truly lives up to its reputation as a gold-tier skill, boasting numerous unique features.

"Xie Yusheng is calling me so strongly, there must be something important to it."

Gu Jinlai watched Liu Feiyun go to help, and even though he was alone and not in a safe environment, he had no choice but to land and stand on this somewhat desolate Gobi Desert.

His True Spirit activated the Void Projection Technique, sensed the spiritual light of "Xie Yusheng," and quickly traversed the void to project it.

Space changes.

The moment the Gu Jinlai descended upon Xie Yusheng, he quickly saw the changes in his surroundings.

He seems to be...

We arrived at a charming mountain village, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.

No, it wasn't exactly a wild mountain area. At least the path they were walking on was a man-made asphalt road, and there were quite a few elegant buildings on the side.

The courtyards, bamboo houses, and pavilions were filled with an antique atmosphere, giving him the illusion that he was still in the world of immortality.

Upon hearing the Gu Jinlai, Xie Yusheng immediately sensed something and silently exclaimed with some joy, "Great Boss Taiyi, you've finally woken up! Didn't you want me to explore the True Immortal Research Institute? I'm here at the True Immortal Research Institute now!"

"Is this the True Immortal Research Institute?"

There have been some surprises Gu Jinlai.

This place is more like a resort than a research institution.

"Yes, the genuine True Immortal Research Institute!"

Xie Yusheng quickly responded, "I dare not neglect the big boss's orders in the slightest. So, I contacted Qiao Siyu, and through her connections, I met Qiao Ningyun. Since my Nantianmen project team is also a subordinate organization of the True Immortal Research Institute, she took me directly to the True Immortal Research Institute."

It was only at this moment that Gu Jinlai noticed that Xie Yusheng and a woman who looked to be under thirty, dressed in white ancient costume and with a rather aloof appearance, were sitting in a sightseeing vehicle.

This woman appears to be Qiao Ningyun, the one Xie Yusheng mentioned.

"Boss, what do you want to know? I wonder if we can find out from Miss Qiao? Although she was only one of the first batch of cultivators at the True Immortal Research Institute, she has already entered the Foundation Establishment due to her outstanding performance. Her authority is not low, and she should know some less important information."

Xie Yusheng silently asked himself.

Gu Jinlai, one can't help but admire his abilities.

He originally thought he would have to use his "Qianxingren" identity to boost his access before he could come to the True Immortal Research Institute, but he didn't expect that he would arrive in just two days.

"I want to know how the True Immortal Research Institute communicates with that world of immortals and heroes. Ask her, and if she is unable to answer, try to get close to that communication point."

This Gu Jinlai.

"Good."

Xie Yusheng quickly turned to Qiao Ningyun, but changed his tune. "Are those cultivation Cultivation Method really safe? After all, they come from another world. Also, how exactly did they transmit these cultivation Cultivation Method? Could they contain some kind of virus?"

Qiao Ningyun calmly replied, "The issues you can think of have already been considered above. You just need to focus on your cultivation."

As she spoke, she glanced at Xie Yusheng and said, "I have learned about the matters you were responsible for in the Nantianmen project team. As the first contact person suspected to be from the Immortal Realm, there should have been no doubt that you would enter the True Immortal Research Institute. You even had the hope of taking on an important position similar to a liaison officer in the True Immortal Research Institute. But you failed to seize the opportunity. This performance has disappointed the entire Qiao family."

"This..."

Xie Yusheng was a little embarrassed. After a while, he said, "Um... is the person from the Realm of Immortality that you came into contact with the same person as that 'Qian Star Person'?"

"Why do you think I was able to bring you to such a crucial place as the True Immortal Research Institute so smoothly? It's because there was a sudden speculation from above. They wanted to test whether 'his' emotions would change when you, the person who had communicated with the 'Qian Star People' for the first time, appeared in front of 'him'. If there was a change, it would prove that there must be a connection between the 'Qian Star People' and 'him'."

As Qiao Ningyun spoke, she added, "The possibility is very small, so small that it can be ignored. But in the early stages of our contact with those people, we had to try every possible possibility. That's how I was able to bring you to the True Immortal Research Institute so smoothly."

Xie Yusheng seemed to understand after hearing this.

The True Immortal Research Institute has a very high level of secrecy. If someone could just walk in like that, then there would be a problem.

It turns out that there had been orders from above.

"So... I'm going to talk to that person now..."

He called himself "Suimu".

"Year Wood?"

Xie Yusheng was about to ask what the name was.

But Gu Jinlai was about to befall him, seemed to realize something and his heart skipped a beat.

Year-old wood!?

According to Jin Haoran, Taibai was not the only True Immortal from the Myriad Stars Sword Sect to arrive in the Immortal Kingdom.

Besides him, there are four other True Immortals: Sui Mu, Ying Huo, Zhen Tu, and Bei Chen.

Upon hearing terms like "immortality realm" and "Foundation Establishment," he had already suspected that Blue Star might have coincidentally made contact with the Myriad Star Sword Sect. Now it seems...

This is practically equivalent to being confirmed.

Sui Mu is the Sui Mu True Immortal of the Wanxing Sword Sect!

"The Myriad Stars Sword Sect went to great lengths to teach Blue Star advanced Foundation Establishment techniques, and even helped them cultivate True Qi in an environment where it was almost impossible to do True Qi... Their purpose is definitely not simple! They have most likely already set their sights on Blue Star!"

A sense of urgency, beyond words, suddenly arose in Gu Jinlai's hearts.

He immediately asked, "You asked Qiao Ningyun if that being from the Immortal Realm named Suimu had instructed you to build any landmark structures."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yusheng quickly changed his approach to a more tactful one. "These people are ultimately aliens. They may not have such good intentions. Apart from Cultivation Method, we must not agree to any other requests they may make us do, such as constructing formations or buildings."

"Rest assured, we will not take any further action before we have a clear understanding of these people's true information."

Qiao Ningyun frowned as she said this, "However, it is said that the Star Glory Federation has been in close contact and exchange with the Immortal Realm, and has even started construction on a large building. It seems that they have obtained reliable information and are about to make actual contact. This has put a lot of pressure on the higher-ups, and some decisions have become more radical..."

"Radical!?"

Xie Yusheng was startled. "Are they planning something big?"

"Three months ago, that True Immortal Suimu sent me something... similar to an array. It is said that it can refine and condense a special energy called 'Spiritual Qi'. With this energy, our cultivation will no longer depend on top-grade medicinal herbs."

Qiao Ningyun said, "The Foundation Establishment has been confirmed, and the path to immortality, which allows one to live for two hundred years, is right in front of us. However, after this period of consumption, the medicinal herbs have been almost used up."

She frowned slightly. "In addition, researchers and religious figures have carefully studied the formation and it seems that it will not have any impact on our world. Many elderly and important figures are getting restless."
