Trump Card

Gu Jinlai quickly arrived at the area where the True Immortals Suimu, Beichen, and Yinghuo were imprisoned.

At this moment, the three of them were exhausted to the extreme, and it seemed as if they had burned their immortal bodies in a desperate counterattack.

Clearly, when Zhao Xi of the Immortal Kingdom took action against them, they realized that they were unlikely to survive, so they fought back with all their might.

This can be seen from the fact that even after Zhao Xi personally intervened, he still failed to prevent the death of Zhen Tu Zhen Xian.

It's important to understand that the Realm of Immortality is not the Realm of Mystic Immortals.

In the realm of immortality, true immortals cannot defeat celestial immortals through delaying and attrition tactics. Unless they fight to the death, even the most powerful true immortals have little chance of survival when facing a celestial immortal.

Especially since they were already on the territory of the Immortal Kingdom.

"Gu Jinlai!?"

Upon seeing Gu Jinlai step into this sealed space, a chilling killing intent surged across Beichen Zhenxian's pale face.

"You're the one who instigated Zhao Xi to attack us, aren't you!? You have no idea what a mistake you've made! Without the help of our Myriad Stars Sword Sect, the Immortal Kingdom simply cannot defeat the Demonic Beasts of the Demon Realm! Moreover, you let Zhao Xi deal with our Myriad Stars Sword Sect, do you think our Myriad Stars Sword Sect will let this go easily!? At that time, you will face a two-pronged attack from both our Myriad Stars Sword Sect and the Demonic Beasts!"

"Beichen Zhenxian shouted."

The True Immortal Yinghuo glared at him just as fiercely. "The power of our Myriad Stars Sword Sect far surpasses what your Immortal Kingdom can imagine! Let Zhao Xi let us leave now, and we'll forgive and forget about it when we return; otherwise..."

"Otherwise what? The Immortal Lord of Myriad Manifestations will personally deal with me?"

Looking at this True Immortal of the Myriad Stars Sword Sect who still acted superior even at this moment Gu Jinlai said, "I have directly and indirectly fought with the Suspended Sword Dao Master and the Myriad Manifestations Immortal Master of your Myriad Stars Sword Sect, and directly destroyed your defenses stationed in the Crimson Flame Canyon on the other side of the passage, and killed a True Immortal named Yan Wuwen stationed in the Crimson Flame Canyon. So what can your Dao Master and Immortal Master of the Myriad Stars Sword Sect do to me?"

"Elder Yan Wuwen!?"

Upon hearing this, the already pale faces of the True Immortals, due to the severe depletion of their essence, energy, and spirit, turned even paler.

"You... how could you..."

"Gu Jinlai!"

Several true immortals gritted their teeth, their gazes towards Gu Jinlai filled with a desire to devour him whole.

Sui Mu Zhenxian, who had been mostly silent until now, suddenly noticed something and his eyes widened. "It's you!?"

When he first met Gu Jinlai, he felt that the person was somewhat familiar. Now, thinking back carefully, he suddenly remembered that more than a year ago, someone had attacked his soul. This person...

Throughout Gu Jinlai!

Suddenly, something dawned on him, and a chill ran through him. "Zhao Xi was very wary of us before, but he didn't take any other action until more than a year ago... That's when our Myriad Star Sword Sect was exposed!"

Gu Jinlai didn't reply, but instead looked them over. "Your energy and spirit have been exhausted to the extreme for this final battle. The reason you were able to maintain your immortal bodies is all thanks to the spiritual energy that the cave heaven injected into your bodies... It saved me a lot of trouble."

"There is a secret technique that, Gu Jinlai, allows one to access memories as if possessing another's body. Quickly, guard your mind! Seal off your consciousness!"

Sui Mu Zhenxian reacted quickly and shouted in terror at the two Zhenxian.

"Separate him."

From Gu Jinlai, the True Immortal of Yinghuo pointed at the void and said something.

As the master of the grotto-heaven, Zhao Xi could naturally hear words from Gu Jinlai.

As spatial ripples flashed by, the void before them seemed to be stretched and torn apart.

Soon, Gu Jinlai was in a forest, and only Sui Mu and Bei Chen Zhenxian, two True Immortals, remained in front of him.

The True Immortal of Yinghuo has disappeared without a trace.

As if realizing something, Beichen Zhenxian quickly suppressed his mental fluctuations.

"You won't get any useful information out of me."

Sui Mu Zhen Xian constantly strengthened his beliefs through words.

"The Myriad Stars Sword Sect intends to annex my Eternal Life Realm, so it should be prepared to pay the price! These prices will begin with you, True Immortal Suimu."

Gu Jinlai, there was not an ounce of extra strength left; it was merely a flick of the wrist...

The already weakened immortal body of Sui Mu Zhen Xian, which was only kept afloat by the spiritual energy of the cave, collapsed with a crash.

"Suimu!?"

Although Beichen Zhenxian knew that they would be in grave danger if they fell into the hands of Zhao Xi and the others, he still couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion as he witnessed Suimu Zhenxian being killed in front of him.

Taking this opportunity, Gu Jinlai directly projected the Void Projection Technique onto Beichen Zhenxian. His True Spirit erupted, and when he sensed Beichen Zhenxian's intention to resist, the radiance of the Great Sun Eternal Radiance was fully released, illuminating his entire spiritual world.

"You won't get any useful information out of my head!"

With the resolute determination of a moth drawn to a flame, the spirit of the True Immortal of the North Star surged continuously toward the eternal radiance of the Great Sun, which had been formed Gu Jinlai.

If the Great Sun Eternal Radiance Technique is not maintained from Gu Jinlai, his True Spirit will be driven out by the will of the Northern Star True Immortal, or even severely damaged.

If he maintains the Great Sun Eternal Radiance Technique, the True Immortal of the Northern Star will use this method to allow his thoughts and will to be burned to ashes.

Pity...

What he didn't know was that, Gu Jinlai, there was no need to figure out in detail what secrets were hidden in his mind; it was enough to just scan the memories that escaped when his will was burned away.

These memories flashed by so quickly that they should have been impossible to capture, but under the effect of the Clear Light, all information would be exposed.

After several dozen breaths, the spirit and will of the True Immortal Beichen were burned to ashes by the eternal radiance of the Great Sun.

Gu Jinlai, the True Spirit has been reclaimed.

Looking at the True Immortal Beichen, who had lost all life and whose immortal body had collapsed, he showed no sympathy.

Each serves their own master.

Moved by the invaders' fearlessness and fighting spirit, he ultimately spared their lives.

This is not benevolence or righteousness!

That's foolish!

On the Green Lotus, the consciousness was bathed in clear light.

In his mind, all the memories belonging to the True Immortal Beichen flashed by rapidly.

Compared to the few memories he had found in the True Immortal Sui Mu last time, this time, he witnessed the annihilation of the True Immortal Bei Chen's thoughts and consciousness from existence to non-existence, and the memories he finally obtained were much more complete.

From his birth to his parents, who were both Void Immortals, he was carefully nurtured with extremely precious medicinal herbs to Foundation Establishment. He even Spirit Nourishing Pill as a daily snack. In his first year of cultivation after adulthood, he directly cultivated his Divine Sense. At the age of twenty-one, he became Primordial Spirit, and at the age of twenty-six, he advanced to the Returning to Void realm. In ten years, he honed himself to the peak of the Returning to Void realm. Then, through his parents' arrangement, he witnessed the destruction of his beloved, whom he thought he could become dao companion, in a sect war. He realized that the only person he could rely on in the world was himself.

Thus, he condensed his indestructible will, further condensed his sacred body, and cultivated to the Mahayana.

It took him several hundred years to achieve enlightenment and overcome tribulations.

It took two hundred years to gather the tens of thousands of Five Elements materials needed to forge the immortal body.

This is because he has the support and financial backing of Lineage.

"Oh!? True Immortal Beichen is actually a disciple of Dao Master Xuanling?"

After digesting the information from Gu Jinlai, I felt somewhat surprised yet also that it was within expectations.

The biggest beneficiary of Zhao Xi's creation of the Transformation Spirit Heavenly Dao is the Xuanling Dao Master, so it's impossible for him not to send someone close to him along.

As a newly promoted Celestial Immortal of the sect, Taibai is the leader among the five and represents the sect's will.

Both Beichen Zhenxian and Suimu Zhenxian are disciples of Xuanling Daozhu, representing Xuanling Daozhu in overseeing the development of the Transformation Heavenly Dao.

"Myriad Manifestations Immortal Lord, Suspended Sword Dao Lord, Profound Spirit Dao Lord, Crimson Star Dao Lord, Tai Bai Celestial Immortal, Azure Phoenix Celestial Immortal!"

Gu Jinlai, six names have been uttered.

This is the true ruling class of the Myriad Star Sword Sect.

One Immortal Lord, three Great Dao Lords, and two Celestial Immortals.

Among these three Dao Lords, Xuanling Dao Lord and Chixing Dao Lord have been in seclusion for a long time, and the outside world does not even know if they still exist.

The Celestial Immortal of the Heavenly Realm is a newly promoted Celestial Immortal within the last twenty years.

The Wanxing Sword Sect openly displays three figures: the Myriad Manifestations Immortal Master, the Suspended Sword Dao Master, and the Azure Phoenix Celestial Immortal.

"Our biggest hidden danger right now is the Xuanling Dao Master."

He pondered the Gu Jinlai, carefully reviewing the information about the Xuanling Dao Master in the memories of the True Immortal of the Northern Star.

The Xuanling Dao Master has been cultivating for over two thousand years!

Yes!

Two thousand years!

True immortals attain the Dao fruit and condense immortal bodies, thus breaking free from the constraints of flesh and blood on their life form. What limits their lifespan is no longer physical aging, but rather their mental and spiritual endurance.

Time is a cruel mistress!

Only a strong mind can withstand the erosion of time.

Celestial Immortals need immense mental strength to integrate the Dao Fruit into their grotto-heavens, while Dao Lords, who allow the Dao Fruit to take root and sprout anew and give birth to the Heavenly Dao, possess even greater mental strength than Celestial Immortals.

Even so, living for two thousand years is still not an easy thing.

Although there was a Celestial Immortal in the history of the Xuanxian Realm with a strong mind who lived for more than four thousand years, that was because that Celestial Immortal was too poor and did not have enough spiritual crystals or top-notch materials to nurture the Heavenly Dao. Otherwise, with the strength of his mind, let alone becoming a Dao Lord, becoming an Immortal Lord would have been a piece of cake.

Most celestial beings and Dao lords actually have a lifespan of less than two thousand years.

This is also why outsiders don't include the Xuanling Dao Master when calculating the Dao Master Heavenly Immortal of the Myriad Stars Sword Sect.

"A Dao Lord who has lived for two thousand years, whose seniority is even higher than that of the Myriad Manifestations Immortal Lord... His mental strength is not weak either; on the contrary, his mental will is extremely strong, said to be no less than that of a Profound Immortal. Otherwise, he would not have lived for two thousand years. The reason he failed to fully cultivate the Transformation Spirit Heavenly Dao is because the Transformation Spirit Heavenly Dao is difficult to cultivate, consumes a lot of energy, and has little power. Given that the Myriad Stars Sword Sect is not exactly wealthy, Lingji prioritized cultivating the peerless Suspended Sword Dao Lord..."

Gu Jinlai's expression was somewhat solemn. "According to True Immortal Beichen, and even other Supreme Elders, as long as Xuanling Daozhu is given an opportunity and enough resources, the Immortal Lord realm is within his grasp, and even... the Xuanxian realm is by no means a pipe dream."

A profound immortal-level mental and physical will!

"His foundation is too deep... Once he descends with the Spirit Heavenly Dao, Zhao Xi... will probably be no match for him at all!"

If the Xuanling Dao Master truly manages to occupy this super cave heaven...

Gu Jinlai, it must be admitted that they underestimated the Myriad Stars Sword Sect as their opponent.

We need to add some more cards to our deck.

He spoke in a deep voice Gu Jinlai.

Adding another trump card...

He focused his attention on the "Three Realms".

I wonder if clearing out the entire Immortal Kingdom would bring the "Three Realms" to a state of perfection?
