Forceful Breach

The Immortal Kingdom.

Zhao Xi looked at Gu Jinlai, who had come under the identity of "Liu Feiyun," with a somewhat dejected expression.

"Qiuyu... is a child I raised since she was a child. I treated her like my own daughter... I never imagined she would..."

The ruler of this immortal kingdom seemed somewhat unable to understand.

"Why? He has friends, masters, and disciples in the Immortal Kingdom. Why would she choose to betray him?"

"Perhaps she is more optimistic about the future of the Xuanxian Realm. Everything has to give way to personal safety. They don't want to live in a place with no future."

This Gu Jinlai.

He thought of the immigrants on Blue Star. To ordinary people, their relatives and friends are still there, but they still leave their original country without hesitation to go to another place. How can the people around them understand this?

"Does she really believe that our immortal kingdom is doomed to fail?"

Zhao Xi asked, unwilling to give up.

But after asking the question, he seemed to realize that he had lost his composure.

Now is not the time to discuss this.

The deed is done, and what he really needs to do is to remedy the situation as quickly as possible to prevent it from worsening.

"If you stir up trouble, it will be very difficult for you to infiltrate the Myriad Stars Sword Sect and shake the Xuanling Dao Master's Transformation Heavenly Dao."

Zhao Xi forced himself to pull himself out of his dejection.

"I never intended to shake the Xuanling Dao Master's Transformation Heavenly Dao by infiltrating the Myriad Stars Sword Sect."

Gu Jinlai looked at Zhao Xi and said, "Although we haven't completely broken ties with the Myriad Stars Sword Sect yet, it's probably close. If I'm not mistaken, the Myriad Stars Sword Sect will soon take another step, and this step will be very disadvantageous to us."

"Of all times..."

Zhao Xi's expression was solemn, but then he seemed to realize something and shook his head. "This is normal! We are seeking a way to break the deadlock, but isn't the Myriad Stars Sword Sect also putting on an act with us? This can be seen from the fact that we clearly had the advantage in the Blood Swamp Demon Abyss, but the supreme True Immortal Taibai suddenly returned to the Myriad Stars Sword Sect under the pretext of being injured, and the remaining True Immortals also treated the tasks we assigned them with a negative attitude."

"Their goal is to keep our minds and energy occupied by the Demon Realm, so that they can buy themselves time."

Gu Jinlai, and considering the situation of the Myriad Stars Sword Sect: "If I'm not mistaken, thanks to the spirit crystals that have been taken from us over the years, the Xuanling Dao Master's Transformation Heavenly Dao is probably about to be completed. Once his Transformation Heavenly Dao is complete, he will try to bring the power of the Heavenly Dao to the Immortal Kingdom, and use his completed Transformation Heavenly Dao to devour your newly formed Transformation Heavenly Dao, so that the Transformation Heavenly Dao can be perfected in one fell swoop, thus stepping into the realm of Immortal Lord! And his arrival in the Immortal Kingdom is our opportunity!"

Not only can Immortal Lords temporarily bring the Heavenly Dao into battle, but top Dao Lords who have fully cultivated the Heavenly Dao also have ways to separate the Heavenly Dao from themselves.

The only difference is that Immortal Lords can reintegrate the Heavenly Dao into their grotto-heavens, while top-tier Dao Lords, once they separate the Heavenly Dao from their grotto-heavens, can only fight to the death until the power of the Heavenly Dao is exhausted.

"Chance..."

Zhao Xi pondered and said, "The creation of the Transcendent Heavenly Dao must have been orchestrated with some kind of backup plan. In addition, in order to nurture the Transcendent Heavenly Dao, I merged it with my cave heaven. Once the Xuanling Dao Lord descends and activates the backup plan, devouring and merging the Transcendent Heavenly Dao, it will be equivalent to controlling our cave heaven. A celestial lord who possesses a thousand-mile-long cave heaven... even a Xuanxian in person would be helpless against him!"

"However, it will take time for him to devour and integrate the Transformed Heavenly Dao on your side. If we can kill him during this time, the Transformed Heavenly Dao he brought with him will be used to benefit you. At that time, you will overcome the strong with the weak and devour the Transformed Heavenly Dao that belongs to him. Not only will you become a Dao Lord, but you will also directly achieve the perfection of the Heavenly Dao and step into the peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm - the Immortal Lord realm, becoming a true Imperial Heavenly Immortal Lord."

This Gu Jinlai.

"I estimate that the moment he arrives, his own Transformation Heavenly Dao will merge with my cave heaven. In other words, at that time he will be equivalent to a top Dao Lord who possesses a thousand-mile cave heaven. Even if it takes him some time to complete the absorption of the Transformation Heavenly Dao, or even if I can interfere with him by controlling the Heavenly Dao, the strength he can exert will still be no less than that of any top Dao Lord."

A top-tier Dao Lord!

Even a Xuanxian (a high-level immortal) couldn't kill such a top-tier being in the opponent's "cave heaven" in such a short time!

"If things really get out of control, I will have to find a way to directly disperse the Heavenly Dao of Spirit Transformation. Although this will take another ten or eight years to find a permanent solution to the threat of the Demonic Spirit, at least this hidden danger of the Myriad Star Sword Sect can be suppressed for now."

Zhao Xi made a decision in his heart.

"There's no need."

This Gu Jinlai.

If they really did that, the Myriad Stars Sword Sect would go absolutely crazy. They would launch a frenzied attack on the Immortal Kingdom, forcing it to fight on two fronts. It wouldn't be long before the entire Immortal Kingdom collapsed.

Therefore...

"The reason I suggested killing the Xuanling Dao Lord in the Immortal Kingdom when he descends is because I am confident in my abilities."

Gu Jinlai looked at Zhao Xi and said, "At that time, you should do your best to restrain his devouring of the Heavenly Dao of Transformation and his control over the Immortal Kingdom! As for him... leave him to me!"

"You?"

Zhao Xi was taken aback.

"I might be able to kill a Dao Lord quickly."

"Not a Dao Lord, but a Dao Lord who possesses the power of a grotto-heaven."

Zhao Xi said heavily.

He knew that those who Gu Jinlai possessed considerable combat power, but...

For immortals at the Celestial Immortal level, having a grotto-heaven and not having one are two completely different concepts.

"Believe me."

From Gu Jinlai, it has been said, "Just recently, I directly killed a supreme True Immortal who had activated the Flame Heavenly Dao. In addition, I have another... you can think of it as an innate divine Divine Ability. If I were to unleash it..."

He glanced around and said, "The battlefield should be in this cave heaven. Once that Divine Ability is released, the entire cave heaven, spanning thousands of miles, will be turned into a dead zone. For safety's sake, Immortal Master Zhao should move important items and personnel to other cave heavens in advance."

"A thousand miles of land turned into a wasteland!"

Upon hearing what had been said Gu Jinlai, Zhao Xi couldn't help but gasp.

Thousands of miles!

Even the most powerful Divine Ability abilities can only destroy within a hundred miles. Considering the minor damage and impact, the maximum range is usually only two or three hundred miles.

Thousands of miles...

Even if the impact is felt across thousands of miles, the energy increase involved is far more than just three or four times!

Not a hundred times, a thousand times!

This power...

"If such power truly exists..."

"Have."

Gu Jinlai repeatedly said, "I will return to the Immortal Kingdom as soon as possible! Once you see my true form, you will naturally be able to judge that what I said is true."

"Returning to the Immortal Kingdom... It will take more than four months for the spatial passage to the Immortal Kingdom to arrive..."

"I came from the connection channel between the Myriad Star Sword Sect and the Immortal Kingdom."

The direct path Gu Jinlai.

After a moment's thought, Zhao Xi nodded.

If someone truly possessed the terrifying power to kill a Dao Lord Gu Jinlai, forcibly crossing the connection between the Myriad Star Sword Sect and the Immortal Kingdom to return to the Immortal Kingdom would not be a difficult task.

After all, the people guarding the connecting passage were mainly True Immortals from the Myriad Stars Sword Sect. They did not have the luxury of building a cave heaven or stationing Celestial Immortals there.

"Since we are about to break ties with the Myriad Stars Sword Sect, we should take action against True Immortal Suimu, True Immortal Beichen, True Immortal Yinghuo, and True Immortal Zhentu, and capture them directly. In addition, all the grotto heavens should also focus on collecting spirit crystals."

This Gu Jinlai.

"I understand. I will take care of these four people and also give instructions on the collection of spirit crystals."

Zhao Xi nodded.

At this moment, Gu Jinlai seemed to have thought of something and said, "It would be best if we could capture these four True Immortals of the Myriad Stars Sword Sect alive. I'll see if I can get some useful information out of them. Also, I plan to start nurturing the Creation Heavenly Dao in the Qian Tian cave. Do you have any suitable candidates?"

"Nurturing the Heavenly Dao ... True Immortals integrate their own Dao Fruit into the Grotto Heaven, and only after becoming Celestial Immortals can they use the power of the Grotto Heaven to make their Dao Fruit take root and sprout, thus nurturing the Principle of the Heavenly Dao. Each of our five Celestial Immortals in the Immortal Kingdom holds an important position and cannot leave in a short time."

Zhao Xidao.

Having heard this Gu Jinlai, they had no choice but to temporarily abandon the idea.

The creation of the Heavenly Dao by the Qian Heaven is still a long way off.

Therefore, we can only continue to rely on the Creation Gate's Creation Heavenly Dao to produce the Cheng Ying Mech.

However, compared to the Creation Gate, which is located in the Xuanxian Realm and has a barren spiritual environment, the environment in Qiantian is obviously much better. There is no need to refine the spiritual energy into spiritual crystals before activating the Heavenly Dao.

No matter how advanced the refining method is, there will still be losses in the conversion of spiritual energy into spiritual crystals, which will increase the cost significantly.

"We can only continue to have the Creation Gate produce standard Shadow Mechs for attacking strongholds, while the Qian Tian side builds advanced Shadow Mechs that are more suitable for use by the Heavenly Lord."

Gu Jinlai thought to himself, then glanced at Zhao Xi and said, "There's no time to lose. In ten days, I will forcefully break through the connection between the Myriad Star Sword Sect and the Immortal Kingdom! You guys should make preparations as soon as possible."

"Ten days is enough. I will take down everyone in the Myriad Stars Sword Sect and completely cut off their covetousness towards our Immortal Kingdom. This way, we can at least buy some more time."

Zhao Xidao.

Gu Jinlai nodded and withdrew the Void Projection Technique.

Liu Feiyun gave a slight bow, then took her leave.

Zhao Xi watched Liu Feiyun leave, or rather, Gu Jinlai leave, with a hint of envy in his eyes.

"The Heavenly Emperor's methods are truly miraculous."

After a moment of reflection, he quickly composed himself and then gave an order, "Summon the nine immortals to come and see me."

Ten days later.

The figure from Gu Jinlai appeared in a canyon tens of thousands of miles away from the Wanxing Sword Sect's mountain gate.

Decades ago, a small fire crystal vein was reportedly discovered in this canyon. The Myriad Star Sword Sect dispatched six True Immortals to oversee the area and ensure the safety of the vein.

However, according to the memories of the True Immortal of the Gu Jinlai Wood, there is no Flame Crystal Mine here at all. The reason why the Myriad Star Sword Sect guards this place with heavy troops is because it is connected to the territory of the Immortal Kingdom of the Longevity Realm.

Furthermore, there are not six True Immortals stationed here, but twelve.

It's twice as much as the outside figures.

In addition, among the six additional True Immortals, even the weakest one possesses top-tier True Immortal combat power. The leader is none other than Yan Wuwen, a renowned True Immortal from the Myriad Star Sword Sect, who, according to rumors, failed to break through to the Heavenly Immortal realm a hundred years ago during seclusion.

Gu Jinlai, people have gazed from afar at that place guarded by a true immortal and shrouded in an array.

"Twelve True Immortals and a top-tier formation, their defensive power is no less than that of a grotto-heaven guarded by a Celestial Immortal. I never imagined that the war between our Longevity Realm and the Myriad Star Sword Sect would begin in this way."

He murmured something Gu Jinlai.

The next moment, his speed exploded, and he shot straight into the radiant canyon like a bolt of lightning.
