Supreme Taiyi Immortal Lord

After the people from the Heavenly Fire Sect, Dragon Sword Sect, and Wind and Rain Pavilion had all left, True Immortal Yun Zhen turned his gaze back to the five Void Immortals led by Ye Yunguang, and dozens of Mahayana.

"What are you people from the Ye family standing here for? Am I going to throw you all out?"

"Yun Zhen!"

Ye Yunguang glared at him angrily. "Did you secretly take control of the Red Cloud Sect's cave while we were repairing it...?"

Before Ye Yunguang could finish speaking, True Immortal Yunzhen suddenly slapped his hand.

"Roll!"

With a fierce shout, a vast and boundless power, like a towering divine mountain, crashed down on Ye Yunguang. Although Ye Yunguang tried to stop it, the gap between a supreme True Immortal and a peak Void Immortal was enormous!

With just a touch, this Void Immortal from the Creation Sect coughed up blood and was blasted dozens of miles away.

"Dare to set foot in Baihe City again, and you shall die!"

The divine sense of True Immortal Yun Zhen reverberated through the void.

The chilling murderous intent contained within immediately caused a trace of fear to appear in Ye Yunguang's eyes as he was blasted away.

Immortal Yun Zhen has decided to kill.

He realized that if he really continued to cause trouble...

He really is going to die.

He is not the only person in the Ye family.

Even if he dies, the Creation Sect might not necessarily start a full-scale war with the Cloud Soaring Sect over it.

Especially...

Given that the Creation Gate no longer has enough spirit crystals to activate the Creation Heavenly Dao for an extended period and launch a war.

"Walk!"

He glanced at the imposing Yun Zhen Zhenxian from afar, then immediately turned and headed towards the outside of Baihe City.

The five Void Immortals and dozens of Mahayana who had been following him closely also followed behind.

Of the sixteen Void Immortals who arrived outside Baihe City, six were from the Ye family, demonstrating the immense power of the Ye family within the Creation Sect.

While it's not accurate to say that half of them belong to the Ye family lineage, a third of them definitely do.

This is also why the Ye family dares to be assertive within the Creation Sect.

Ye Yunguang and the others were quickly driven away, and True Immortal Yunzhen also concealed his aura.

His strength comes entirely from cleverness.

A flash of inspiration is something you can only use a little of; it's gone as soon as you start using it.

Let alone Baihe City, even the Creation Sect, after deducting the daily cultivation consumption of its disciples and elders, might only be able to extract a single spirit crystal from spiritual energy every eight to ten years.

Under these circumstances, all cultivators in the Xuanxian Realm developed the good habit of diligence and thrift.

After the Ye family left, Yu Xu and his group remained at the scene, which was clearly somewhat awkward.

However, Immortal Yunzhen quickly spoke up, defusing the awkward atmosphere. "My dissatisfaction is only with the arrogant and domineering people of the Ye family. I have no objection to the Creation Sect. Our Yunxiao Sect and the Creation Sect have always been steadfast allies, as close as family. Now, I ask you all to help me continue to maintain, clean, and repair Baihe City and Hongyun Sect's cave heaven. In addition, all the benefits that belong to the Creation Sect will not be stingy by my Yunxiao Sect."

"Yun Zhen is a true immortal with great power."

Yu Xu solemnly cupped his hands in greeting.

Yun Zhenzhen smiled and glanced at Gu Jinlai: "Please come in and rest for a while. Once our Yunxiao Sect members arrive, we can discuss how to govern the territory of Baihe City."

Yu Xu nodded.

Baihe City doesn't just refer to this city; it also includes the area within a radius of thousands of miles centered on Baihe City.

In addition to the Spirit Vein of Baihe City, there are several resource points within this area spanning thousands of miles.

Such as gold mines, obsidian veins, fairy fruit forests, etc.

Immortal Yunzhen quickly made arrangements for Yu Xu and the others, while he himself secretly met Gu Jinlai in another courtyard.

Upon seeing Gu Jinlai, the immortal couldn't help but scrutinize him for a while.

After a long while, he sighed sincerely, "I had heard Yu Xue mention you before, saying that you are exceptionally talented, no less so than your brother. If it weren't for the Jiang family holding you back, you would definitely have become an immortal within a hundred years. Now it seems that she underestimated you."

"Second sister?"

A thought has stirred the heart Gu Jinlai.

"Yun Fenglei, the sect leader of Yunxiao Sect, is my elder brother, and Yun Qiankun is my nephew. Your second sister has to call me uncle, hahaha, and so do you."

Yun Zhenzhen said with a smile.

"Uncle Zhen".

Gu Jinlai, people have bowed respectfully.

He learned about the relationship between Yunxiao Sect's young sect leader Yun Qiankun and Jiang Yuxue from Jiang Yujian.

The Creation Sect, the Cloud Soaring Sect, and the Nine Refinements Pavilion are the three major powers that jointly own a training cave.

After Jiang Yujian became Ye Yan's disciple, he took Jiang Yuxue with him to that cave for training. During this time, they met Yun Qiankun, the young sect master of Yunxiao Sect, and the two of them fell in love for some reason.

In the end, Jiang Yuxue and Yun Qiankun became dao companion.

One of them is the younger sister of the current sect leader of the Creation Sect, and the other is the young sect leader of the Cloud Soaring Sect. Everyone is happy to see them become dao companion.

The already closely related Creation Sect and Cloud Soaring Sect have become even closer.

"You can't judge a book by its cover. I never imagined that you not only achieved sainthood through cultivation, but also cultivated the path of innate sainthood. Moreover, you have reached a level in the path of innate sainthood that is no less than that of a mortal immortal. It's truly unbelievable."

Yun Zhen said.

"It's all luck. The path of the innate deity has harsh environmental requirements. If it weren't for fortuitous opportunity encounter, I wouldn't have embarked on this path. According to my brother, he also told me not to waste too much time on this path and to treat it as a protective technique."

"Your brother is right. Although the path of the Primordial Saints leads directly to the Great Dao... there is no longer any fertile ground for these Primordial Saints to survive in our Xuanxian Realm."

After finishing speaking, Immortal Yun Zhen paused and asked, "What are your plans for this grotto-heaven? Should we ask your brother before making a decision?"

"No need. He is at a critical stage in his attempt to become a True Immortal, and it is not advisable to disturb him. I can make the decision."

This Gu Jinlai.

"Aiming for True Immortality?"

Upon hearing this, True Immortal Yun Zhen's eyes lit up. "He's about to break through to the True Immortal realm so soon? Good! That's great! Once he becomes a True Immortal, takes control of the Creation Heavenly Dao, and becomes the true controller of the Creation Sect, those people from the Ye family will no longer dare to be so arrogant."

Gu Jinlai nodded in agreement. "This is the last hurrah for the Ye family."

"No wonder Ye Yunguang was so aggressive before; they also realized the crisis and wanted to prepare an escape route."

As Yun Zhenzhen spoke, he sneered, "After your elder brother takes over the Creation Heavenly Dao, don't let them off easily."

Gu Jinlai smiled and nodded.

He then took a map out of his storage ring.

This is a map of the Flame River Pass.

The text above clearly marks the various forces and resource points along the Flame River.

Gu Jinlai pointed directly to the dozen or so places he had circled and said, "I don't need those Dao artifacts. If the Cloud Soaring Sect wants this cave heaven, then give us these resource points."

"This is... Blackwater Marshland, Green Light Forest, Elemental Magnetic Ore?"

Yun Zhenzhen looked at the resource points that had been pointed out by Gu Jinlai.

While these resource points are quite useful, they may not be considered particularly valuable.

At least, the combined value of these dozen or so resource points and mineral deposits is definitely less than that of a hundred Dao artifacts.

"I have my own purpose."

He said with a smile, "Gu Jinlai."

After listening, Immortal Yunzhen pondered for a moment and said, "I can't take advantage of you. We, the Yunxiao Sect, have stored every resource point you want. I will send all of these to the Creation Gate for you."

"That would be perfect."

The road to Gu Jinlai.

After some discussion, the two sides quickly finalized the details of the transaction.

Although the Cloud Soaring Sect and the Creation Sect belong to two major powers, their relationship is far more than just that of "allies".

At least in this transaction, Immortal Yun Zhen was more concerned about not letting him suffer a loss, and offered a lot of compensation from all sides.

Of course, this may also be related to his willingness to trade his sect's foundation, such as the Cave Heaven, to True Immortal Yun Zhen.

"Next, we just have to wait for Jiang Yujian to take control of the Creation Heavenly Dao. With the Creation Heavenly Dao, the Cheng Ying mechs will be produced as quickly as an assembly line."

He returned to the quiet courtyard he had chosen, his face bearing a smile that Gu Jinlai.

Once the Chengying Mech is launched, the Creation Gate will inevitably develop and expand at an extremely rapid pace.

Once the Creation Sect becomes powerful and possesses more Spirit Vein, grotto-heavens, and resource points, it will then propose returning to forces like the Cloud Soaring Sect, which share the same origin as the Creation Sect...

I imagine they wouldn't refuse.

At that time, this grotto-heaven in Baihe City will still belong to the Creation Gate.

He was simply transferring money from one hand to the other, just changing one step in the process.

Then he thought of the actions of the Ye family.

The Ye family, like a malignant tumor, has been sucking the lifeblood out of the Creation Sect, which has indeed been a source of annoyance for Gu Jinlai.

He certainly didn't want people like Ye Yunguang to benefit from the rise of the Creation Sect and become immortals after it developed.

"It seems I need to have a serious talk with Jiang Yujian."

Gu Jinlai, I have come to realize a problem once again.

Ye Bingyu is Jiang Yujian's wife.

With this connection in place, he wanted to completely sever ties between the Ye family and the Creation Sect...

It's difficult!

Even if Jiang Yujian wanted to use some forceful means, Ye Bingyu's words of advice would likely eventually make the Ye family turn a blind eye.

After a moment, Gu Jinlai narrowed his eyes slightly. "If Jiang Yujian can't make a decision, I'll make it for him."

His original plan for coming to the Xuanxian Realm was to take control of the Myriad Stars Sword Sect. Firstly, he wanted to obtain from the Myriad Stars Sword Sect the method to defeat that terrifying being deep within the Spirit Realm. Secondly, he wanted to use the Myriad Stars Sword Sect as a trump card in the war against the Demon Realm.

Thirdly...

Using the Myriad Stars Sword Sect as a cover, they prevented any other forces in the Xuanxian Realm from coveting the Changsheng Realm.

However, he later discovered that he had a connection with the Creation Sect, and that he could achieve his goal by strengthening the Creation Sect and annexing the Myriad Star Sword Sect, so he turned his attention to developing the Creation Sect.

However, whether he controls the Myriad Stars Sword Sect or takes charge of the Creation Gate in the future, he will eventually have to make the Creation Gate come into contact with the Realm of Immortality.

So...

It's time to bring in a third party.

"The direction of the Innate Divine Path and the methods of forging the Cheng Ying Mech cannot be explained by ordinary reasons. Fortunately, many people know that a Celestial Lord made a fleeting appearance, killed the Crimson True Immortal, and destroyed the Red Cloud Sect... This is a very good entry point."

Thinking of this, Gu Jinlai smiled slightly, "I, Jiang Yufeng, have the backing of the Immortal Lord!"

After a moment, he seemed to have thought of something.

Not only does it have the support of the Immortal Lord, but there are also seven others!

The Immortal Lord Zhao Xi of the Imperial Heaven, the Immortal Lord Zi Guang of the Central Heaven, the Immortal Lord Wu Liang of the Eastern Heaven, the Immortal Lord Chang Sheng of the Southern Heaven, the Immortal Lord Ling Yu of the Western Heaven, and the Immortal Lord Xing Dou of the Northern Heaven.

As well as...

The Supreme Immortal Lord Taiyi.
