Entering the Mysterious Immortal Realm

The Wanxing Sword Sect's palace on the outskirts of the Immortal Kingdom.

In an ordinary house, the serene True Immortal Taibai was sipping a spiritual tea that had long been extinct in the Xuanxian Realm, waiting patiently for something.

"Elder Taibai."

At that moment, a figure walked in from outside the door.

It was indeed the True Immortal of the Year Tree.

"Have the immortal lords of the Immortal Kingdom urged us to go to war?"

Taibai Zhenxian looked like he already knew what was going on. "Continue to tell them that my injuries are quite serious and I will not be able to unleash my full power for a month."

Three months ago, he proposed transferring ten more True Immortals from the Myriad Stars Sword Sect to help the Immortal Kingdom achieve a decisive victory in the Blood Swamp Demon Abyss battlefield. The result...

I was actually rejected.

Sure enough, half a month ago, he, the absolute main force who had displayed the strongest True Immortal power, was injured and had to retreat to the rear.

Without him, a true immortal capable of taking on ten opponents single-handedly...

It seems the Immortal Kingdom will have a tough time on the Blood Swamp Demon Abyss battlefield.

"That's not the case. That Immortal Lord of the Southern Heaven has only just moved his cave heaven there and is still in his best condition. He won't show any signs of weakness for at least a year or two. If they really can't hold on and urge us to join the war, it will probably be a year or two before they release the ten True Immortals we need."

Sui Mu Zhenxian shook his head.

"One or two years? Ha, that's a good idea. No matter how bad my injuries are, I can't afford to drag this out for one or two years, can I?"

Taibai Zhenxian sneered, "But I can always go back to the Wanxing Sword Sect to recuperate."

"Return to the Myriad Stars Sword Sect to recuperate?"

Sui Mu Zhenxian was taken aback. "If you go back, crossing the Star Gate to reach this world again won't be so easy. Currently, the human race seems to have gained some advantage on the Blood Swamp Demon Abyss battlefield..."

"It's just the calm before the storm. According to my analysis, the Demonic Beasts should be looking for new breakthroughs in other directions. Blood Abyss? Its main function has been reduced to attracting attention to other changes."

Taibai Zhenxian said confidently, "Once those hidden dangers are exposed, they will definitely be begging us to continue taking action."

After saying that, he looked at Immortal Suimu: "It seems that those immortal lords are not urging us? Then what brings you here?"

"Didn't you say that the Myriad Stars Sword Sect recently uncovered several spies suspected of infiltrating the Immortal Kingdom, and suspected that Zhao Xi had discovered something, so you asked me to keep an eye on his movements? I've already noticed something."

As Sui Mu Zhen Xian spoke, he pointed with his hand, and an invisible ripple spread out.

"Is he trying to send someone to infiltrate our Myriad Stars Sword Sect again? No wonder I've noticed a weakening of the Heavenly Dao aura in his Immortal Kingdom recently. Is he trying to use the power of the Heavenly Dao to conceal the aura of the person he's sending?"

As Taibai Zhenxian spoke, a murderous intent glint flashed in his eyes. "Have you found out where that star gate is?"

"We have a general area now."

Sui Mu Zhenxian said, "After we find it, shall we destroy that star gate directly?"

"Destroying that star gate isn't very meaningful. What we should really do is secretly find out where the star gate leads through it. Then, as long as he sends people into our Xuanxian Realm, we can catch him like a turtle in a jar."

At this point, Taibai Zhenxian seemed to have thought of something, "However, this can't go on forever. Perhaps we can find out who that spy is? Then monitor him and get him to send us intelligence that's beneficial to us!"

"Based on our speculation, the spy who was sent out is most likely a True Immortal who was recently sent as reinforcements from the Holy Dynasty— Gu Jinlai. This can be inferred from the fact that Gu Jinlai disappeared immediately after his brief appearance."

Sui Mu Zhen Xian Dao.

"Gu Jinlai?"

Taibai Zhenxian recognized the name: "I heard he's quite strong? Well, that makes sense. If he wasn't strong, Zhao Xi wouldn't have entrusted him with such an important task. But he's really generous; this is already the fourth round of personnel, isn't it?"

"Right."

Sui Mu Zhenxian nodded. "We have already sent people to investigate this person's detailed information."

"Whether or not an investigation is conducted is irrelevant. How could the true immortals of this world possibly understand the power of our Xuanxian Realm?"

Taibai Zhenxian sneered, "Those who arrive at the Xuanxian Realm in Gu Jinlai will definitely try to enter our Wanxing Sword Sect. Moreover, in order to shorten the time it takes to infiltrate the higher levels, they will most likely enter with the cultivation of Returning to the Void, Mahayana, or even the Dao Proving Realm. Immediately send a message to the sect that from this day forward, any new member of our Wanxing Sword Sect who has joined at the Returning to the Void level or above must be closely monitored, regardless of whether their background is clean or credible."

"Yes, I'll go deliver the message right away!"

Sui Mu Zhenxian nodded emphatically.

"Wait, even the Void Returning stage isn't enough! Suppress the monitoring targets to the Primordial Spirit level! We must ensure absolute safety!"

Taibai Zhenxian gave another instruction.

This behavior can be described as extremely cautious.

He sneered, "I'd like to see just how many True Immortals Zhao Xi can send to their deaths."

Having experienced crossing the star gate before, Gu Jinlai was in a state where he couldn't distinguish up, down, left, right, or any direction, but his emotions were very calm.

After seemingly "floating" in this directionless and chaotic state for several minutes, Gu Jinlai regained a sense of direction, vitality, and gravity.

The surrounding chaos was transformed into a stream of light, and then the stream of light was transformed into an underground cave.

After the light completely dissipated, Gu Jinlai, standing firmly on the ground, clearly discerned the difference between this world and the Realm of Immortality through factors such as gravity.

"The gravity is greater than that of the Immortal Realm."

Gu Jinlai, the characteristics of the "Child of the Stars" have been rapidly activated, enabling them to adaptively sense their surroundings.

"Indeed, it is very barren. The spiritual energy in the world is probably less than one-tenth of that in the Realm of Immortality."

He waved his arm, but couldn't draw much power from heaven and earth to accompany him.

In other words, for a Celestial Person to arrive in this world, even flying would require an enormous amount of effort.

They could only soar through the void with the aid of Spirit Artifact flying swords, and even then, it was difficult to sustain the flight for long.

"Good heavens, Celestial Person was directly reduced to Primordial Spirit True Lord? What about a Primordial Spirit True Lord? The Primordial Spirit cannot leave the body and can only be controlled more precisely by using divine sense, like an artificial intelligence? Core Formation, Foundation Establishment... it really is Foundation Establishment and Core Formation."

Since the gravity in this world is far greater than that in the world of immortality, they should be able to cultivate True Qi very easily.

Similarly, due to gravity, the material structure of this world is much more stable.

In the Realm of Immortality, Gang Condensing expert can destroy a boulder weighing several tons with a single strike. In this world, it would probably only leave a sword mark on it.

However, the destructive power that a master at the Core Forming Formation stage, equivalent to the Core Formation stage, can unleash will be quite limited.

"No wonder that even when facing the Immortal Lord of the Immortal Kingdom, the True Immortal Suimu had a strange sense of superiority and regarded all the True Immortals and Immortal Lords of the Longevity Realm as natives. If it weren't for the calamity ten thousand years ago, the overall level of the Xuanxian Realm would indeed be stronger than that of the Longevity Realm."

The Way of the Heart, from Gu Jinlai.

Of course, he wouldn't underestimate himself.

The cultivation civilization of the Immortal Realm has existed for less than 20,000 years, while the Profound Immortal Realm...

It is said to date back 100,000 years.

He believed that if the Immortal Realm could overcome its current disaster and continue to develop and grow, its ultimate growth potential would definitely surpass that of the Mysterious Immortal Realm.

Ten thousand years from now, let alone the birth of a Xuanxian, it would be no pipe dream for someone to cultivate to a level even stronger than a Xuanxian, or even comparable to the powerful monster deep in the Spirit Realm.

"It's practically a wasteland world in the future where the planet's resources have been completely exhausted, yet the planet still hasn't been able to leave."

This has been summarized Gu Jinlai.

Using his Star Child traits, he quickly became familiar with and adapted to this world.

As the Child of Stars' "connection" with this world deepened, he faintly sensed the special will permeating the heavens and earth.

These wills are so weak that they would be difficult to sense if it weren't for the fact that Gu Jinlai have fully entered the state of being children of the stars.

There are several similar wills throughout the entire Xuanxian Realm.

In addition, there are even more numerous, yet so weak, faint wills that have been imperceptible Gu Jinlai, permeating every corner of the stars.

These wills tightly bind the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, using this spiritual energy to nourish themselves.

If these wills cannot restrain these spiritual forces, relying solely on the spiritual forces generated between heaven and earth, these weak wills, which are essentially capable of influencing the operation of the world, will probably "die" very quickly.

"The Heavenly Dao? Inspiration?"

From Gu Jinlai present, we speak to ourselves.

He attempted to use his Star Child form to summon the Great Dao of Thunder between heaven and earth...

Result...

There were a few streaks of lightning in the cave, but their power was less than that of his great Divine Ability, the Lightning Domain.

"Is the Great Way not manifest?"

We Gu Jinlai.

After a moment, the conclusion was reached. "It's not that the Great Dao is not manifest, but that there isn't enough spiritual energy to display its wonders. If enough spiritual energy can be used to activate the power of the Great Dao, the expected amplification will not be lacking in the slightest."

Based on the information provided by Zhao Xi and what he "personally" witnessed, Gu Jinlai has been realized that for every bit of spiritual energy consumed by the Heavenly Dao on this side, the Heavenly Dao on the other side will lose a bit of spiritual energy.

If the Heavenly Dao of a certain grotto-heaven recklessly consumes spiritual energy and releases its power, the already scarce spiritual energy will cause a shortage of spiritual energy in the surrounding area and even the entire Xuanxian Realm. At that time, everyone's Heavenly Dao will "starve to death".

Even now, the Heavenly Dao of each grotto-heaven needs to be maintained by spiritual energy at all times, without daring to stop for even a moment.

Sometimes, wars between sects don't require one to take action. All that's needed is for one's own "Heavenly Dao" to be "diligent" and absorb the spiritual energy within the influence range of another sect's "Heavenly Dao." Naturally, this will cause the "Heavenly Dao" of that sect to die. Without the power of the "Heavenly Dao," the decline and demise of that sect in the long river of history is only a matter of time.

"These Heavenly Dao... are quite impressive."

Take a deep breath, Gu Jinlai.

After gaining a basic understanding of the environment of the Xuanxian Realm, he carefully surveyed his surroundings.

This cave contains several formations.

With defensive formations, deceptive formations, and trapping formations, this star gate is so heavily protected that ordinary people cannot detect it at all.

Following the method provided by Zhao Xi, Gu Jinlai quickly located the core of the formation and took out several spirit crystals from his spatial ring to keep the formation running.

After doing all this, he walked out of the layers of formations and appeared in a desolate mountain forest.

"Next, I will replace Jiang Yufeng and go to Cliff Corner City to return to the Lineage as a clansman who has been away seeking immortality for twenty years and has achieved some success in cultivation."
