Stability

Gu Jinlai, listening to Pang Yuan's description, no one has known how to describe the current technological level of the Immortal Xuanhuang Realm.

It can only be said that all of this was forced upon them.

"The Hunter squad you wiped out had a captain named Blade who was an eighth-level pilot, a vice-captain and two others who were seventh-level pilots, and the other members were sixth-level pilots."

Pang Yuandao.

"Level 6 and Level 8..."

Gu Jinlai somewhat surprised. "Their lineup... I feel that they could easily take down even a Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal."

"Your feeling is correct. In fact, the number of Nine Heavens Mystic Immortals who died at their hands exceeded the number one palm strike."

Pang Yuan paused as he spoke, "This also includes the Nine Heavens Mystic Immortals who have adapted to this world and whose Great Dao is omnipresent."

"How are these pilot ranks... divided?"

This Gu Jinlai.

You should know about the Nine Heavens and Six Paths Realm, which are widely known in the Xuanhuang Great World, right?

Pang Yuan glanced at him. "Because other powers in this world are restricted by the Great Dao of Devouring, people have to invest more time and energy in exploring the power of the mind and researching more efficient ways to utilize it. Theoretically, the mental strength of a level nine pilot is equivalent to the ninth level of the Mind Realm. However, due to the utilization rate and the Secret Method of the Mind Realm, a level nine pilot's combat ability at the mental level is in no way inferior to that of a Golden Immortal of the Human Realm."

"Level 9 pilot, Great Dao Golden Immortal..."

"Less than half an hour after you destroyed the Hunter Squad, the Heavenly Punishment Squad arrived. This squad has three level-nine pilots, and the number of Great Dao Golden Immortals they killed or captured also exceeded five fingers."

Pang Yuandao.

"What is this? A Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal reversing the fate of a Great Dao Golden Immortal?"

Gu Jinlai, it has been said that some weak Golden Immortals of the Great Dao might be surrounded and killed by Nine Heavens Mystic Immortals, but according to Pang Yuan's account...

This situation is actually quite common in the Immortal Xuanhuang Realm.

No!

It's impossible that every Golden Immortal of the Great Dao who was killed or captured by the Heavenly Punishment Squad was incredibly weak.

In other words, they are more powerful than we imagine.

They directly divided the last three levels of the Nine Heavens into nine levels.

Before entering the next level, they were all classified as apprentices because they couldn't even start the engine to withstand the power of the Devouring Dao.

As for one's own cultivation level...

"Times have changed."

Pang Yuan said, "It's one thing for cultivators in the old era a thousand years ago to know about the concepts of Void Immortal, True Immortal, Celestial Immortal, and Mysterious Immortal. But in the new era, those native beings born from the Immortal Xuanhuang Realm over the past thousand years have strengthened their bodies through mental tempering and optimization, or by directly infusing and strengthening them with star power. They have no idea what Celestial Immortal or Mysterious Immortal is."

The Immortal Shadow Society's stronghold leader said with some disgust, "True Immortals and Celestial Immortals don't earn any respect from them. In their eyes, there are only pilots who can withstand the Devouring Dao and activate the reactor, and apprentices who can't even activate the reactor."

"Starting the reactor... A True Immortal-level mental cultivation level, that's only one level, right? Two levels at most?"

Inquiries Gu Jinlai.

Pang Yuan was silent for a moment, then said, "A strong mental state is one thing, but its exquisite application is another. In this world, the more mental power you invest, the greater the influence of the Devouring Dao will be... Often only a Xuanxian, that is, at least a sixth-level Xuanxian, can rely on the intensity of their mental output to overpower the Devouring Dao's devouring intensity and forcibly start the reactor."

Gu Jinlai to understand Pang Yuan's meaning.

It's like consuming mana at a percentage rate every second, and then restoring mana at a fixed rate.

High blue energy levels are not necessarily a good thing.

"Once you get used to it, you'll find that our use of mental power is far inferior to that of the native creatures of this world. It's like... they've been influenced by some strange phenomenon, abandoning other talents and focusing all their energy on mental power."

Pang Yuandao.

"Assimilation."

Gu Jinlai have quickly come to this conclusion.

Then, I thought of evil gods and the creator.

Then I thought of Emperor Zhou Huang, who hung high in the heavens, and...

The new life born in the Immortal Grotto.

"A very accurate description."

At this moment, a divine thought came from ahead.

Sometime later, the submarine-like instrument had stopped.

At the entrance of what resembled an underwater base, a middle-aged man was quietly waiting with three others.

Those three people...

Each one was wearing a mecha that was over ten meters tall.

Clearly, they were all pilots.

"Biyuan?"

His identity has been determined based on the fluctuations in his divine sense Gu Jinlai.

The middle-aged man, Bi Yuan, nodded. "Welcome."

As he spoke, he sighed, "Zhou Huang has now completely fallen into the demonic path, and is almost no different from that evil god. He uses unknown means to distort the spirituality of living beings and change the talent of new beings in this world... Just like an evil god breeds evil spirits, he cultivates pilots... Faced with more and more pilots attacking us, we urgently need new comrades like the Ancient God to join us."

"Pilots? Are low-level pilots useful on high-level battlefields? Even a level nine pilot, would they be of any use against those Great Dao Golden Immortals who have adapted to the rules of this world and are skilled in combat?"

Gu Jinlai have sought this question.

"One or two is no use, but what about ten, twenty, a hundred, or two hundred?"

Bi Yuan said, "Moreover, once that Great Dao Golden Immortal makes a move, he will inevitably expend his power. This expends not only the power needed to murderous intent, but also the power needed to fight against the Devouring Great Dao. Great Dao Golden Immortals are not Immortal Golden Immortals, and their power is not inexhaustible. Once their power is exhausted, they will either die in battle or be captured and subdued. There are no other options."

"Devouring the Great Dao..."

Gu Jinlai took a deep breath.

Therefore, all the problems have turned back to the very first key point—the Great Dao of Devouring.

"We don't lack strong individuals, we lack enough strong individuals!"

Biyuan pointed out the key issue they were facing.

"Is no one able to escape the influence of the Devouring Dao?"

This Gu Jinlai.

However, he soon realized that he had asked a pointless question.

If someone could truly break free from the Devouring Dao, these resistance forces wouldn't be hunted down like rats in the street, forced to hide everywhere.

"The Devouring Dao does not come from the power of the Human Emperor Zhou Huang, but from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of an era even older than the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty. Therefore, if we want to fight against the Devouring Dao from the level of the Dao, it is almost equivalent to facing an ancient existence at the level of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. This has almost no chance of success."

Bi Yuan said, "According to the conclusion reached by the leaders of the various associations, our only method is to start from the level of mind. The Devouring Dao is not Zhou Huang's power. If our mental realm is higher than his, we may be able to take control of the Devouring Dao from him and thus solve the problem at its root."

"The realm of mind and spirit..."

A thoughtful figure Gu Jinlai pondered, "Ten thousand years ago, the spiritual realm of this human emperor..."

"Rank 9 and above!"

Bi Yuan walked on and on.

Finally, he seemed to feel that this way of describing things was not suitable for Gu Jinlai, and explained, "The beings of the new era believe that the so-called Six Paths is outdated, so they directly use 'ranks' to represent the Six Paths of Golden Immortals, with ranks one to three corresponding to the human realm, and so on."

He further explained, "The Human Realm here refers to the Human Realm of the new era. If it's the Human Realm of the old era... it would only correspond to levels ten, eleven, or twelfth among pilots..."

Those beings who were not born and raised Gu Jinlai feudal times quickly understood this description.

"Zhou Huang's mental realm surpasses the ninth level... that is the Divine Path among the Six Paths, and it is the Divine Path realm where he has reached the pinnacle of mental power skills and has mastered many mental mystic arts."

Gu Jinlai, he glanced at Biyuan and asked, "What level has the strongest among you reached in terms of mental cultivation?"

Bi Yuan shook his head. "It's not that I can't give you absolute trust, but this kind of information is not something I, as the vice president of the Immortal Shadow Society, can know. The only one I know is our society leader, who belongs to the third tier."

Gu Jinlai nodded.

It was not forced.

Bi Yuan said that they have no shortage of strong people.

What's lacking is enough strong individuals.

Perhaps one of them has a tenth-level Golden Immortal, but even if they do, it's still not enough to wrest control of the Devouring Dao from Zhou Huang.

Firstly...

Unable to break through the defenses constructed by the Star Gods and Star Lords.

Secondly...

To reclaim the Devouring Dao authority that originally belonged to Zhou Huang, one's mental and spiritual realm must at least surpass that of Zhou Huang.

That is equivalent to the eleventh level of the mid-stage of the Divine Path, the twelfth level of the peak of the Divine Path, or even the thirteenth level...

The Path of Immortality transcends the Divine Path by a great realm.

"Zhou Huang hasn't left the Great Sun Star for over a hundred years. According to the Guild Master's speculation, he may have fallen into the demonic path, causing a backlash. So we don't need to worry about him for now. What we really need to be careful of are the Golden Immortals of the Great Dao behind those Star Lords, as well as the Star Gods and Elders..."

Bi Yuan seemed worried that he might scare people away, so he turned to the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty and added, "However, not every Star God is necessarily incredibly powerful. It's just that they happen to possess the Great Dao that the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty lacks, which is why they are listed as Star Gods. Moreover, more than half of the Star Gods have no ill intentions towards us."

Gu Jinlai pondering for a while, he decided to do it his own way.

Just like when we first entered the Holy Dynasty.

Moreover, compared to when he first entered the Holy Dynasty, his starting point is much higher now.

Ten thousand martial kings could not defeat a single peerless immortal.

Even the strongest Supreme Golden Immortal might not be able to withstand the combined attack of hundreds of ordinary Golden Immortals.

"I want some methods of mental cultivation related to this world."

Gu Jinlai, it has been said that "the higher the rank, the better."

"Yes, any new member will be given a copy of the Mind Cultivation Method to quickly wash away the traces of the old methods. However, this cultivation method can only reach the third level of the Mind Cultivation."

As Bi Yuan spoke, he took out a prepared Jade Slip: "As for other more precious knowledge, such as more advanced mental cultivation methods, the creation of matching mechs, and mental secret techniques, a certain equivalent exchange is required."

Gu Jinlai nodded.

This is similar to when he first entered the Holy Dynasty.

Compared to when he first entered the Holy Dynasty with nothing, he now at least has more than two thousand rays of pure light as reserves.
