People's Hearts Are Hard to Gauge

"Xuanhe..."

Bi Yuan, who was observing the situation from a distance through the array, saw Xuan He directly use violence to attack Gu Jinlai, and his expression immediately changed. He said angrily, "Didn't he say that he knew what he was doing?"

"This is the best and most efficient way."

One of the pilots who came with Xuanhe said, "We don't have that much time to carefully distinguish and test each one."

After saying that, he glanced at Biyuan and said, "Don't worry, Biyuan, everything is under the control of Xuanhe."

Bi Yuan's face was gloomy, but he looked at the guild leader Mu Wuying, clearly waiting for his explanation.

"If there are truly no doubts about the Gu Jinlai, our Immortal Shadow Society will provide him with substantial compensation afterward, even offering him the resources to cultivate to the second or even third tier, and using my recommendation quota to recommend him for further study at the Myriad Realms Alliance."

Mu Wuying said, "I think he will understand our good intentions."

Bi Yuan remained silent for a moment, ultimately unable to refute the joint decision of the Guild Master and Vice Guild Master Xuan He.

Geniuses should have the pride of geniuses.

To win over a peerless genius, one must treat him with sincerity.

But Xuanhe, Mu Wuying, and the others clearly did not think so.

While they value geniuses, they value the safety of the Fairy Shadow Society even more.

Before the true identities of those Gu Jinlai, friends and foes, and the safety of the Immortal Shadow Society are determined, all geniuses and fortuitous opportunity must take a backseat.

Not to mention...

Only those who grow up have the hope of becoming giants in the future. Before they become giants or overlords, even geniuses must follow the rules of these pioneers in the cultivation world.

Just like those who consider themselves elders, no matter how much their juniors achieve, becoming county lords or city lords, they still have to maintain utmost respect in front of them, otherwise they are considered ignorant of the rules.

Mu Wuying waited calmly.

I want to know how people have dealt with this Gu Jinlai.

Was it a helpless and unwilling surrender to Xuanhe, or did they think they were in danger and directly unleash their trump cards, breaking into their prepared counter-strategy?

"Huh!? Wait a minute!?"

Just then, Mu Wuying seemed to realize something, and suddenly opened her eyes wide. "Impossible!"

The next moment, his avatar was suddenly jolted. "Not good! Quick! Biyuan, hold him off! I'm in charge of the backup plan, blocking the spying signals from the immortal True Spirit in this area. They'll be here soon!"

As he exclaimed in surprise, Xuanhe, who had dealt with people from Gu Jinlai, also exclaimed "Impossible!"

"Buzz!"

In an invisible ripple, the soul-suppressing secret technique of Xuanhe, which descended like a falling meteorite, was completely shattered by a burst of dazzling starlight.

In the starlight, Gu Jinlai have used gravity to soar into the sky.

"If you are not happy about my joining, just say so. Why use this method to test me?"

Gu Jinlai, people have always viewed things from a high vantage point.

"Your strength..."

Xuanhe's expression changed, and then his eyes flashed with a sharp light. "This is your true strength!? This mental strength, third level... A third-level Golden Immortal actually infiltrated our Immortal Shadow Society!? We've caught a big fish."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly waved his hand.

Suddenly, streaks of light crisscrossed and formed a dazzling golden light, seemingly about to envelop the entire port city.

Behind him, several level-nine modders and senior pilots who had been waiting in the underground base appeared at the same time. They unleashed their mental power and activated the reactors of their respective mechs, quickly surrounding Gu Jinlai.

"A big fish."

Gu Jinlai shook his head.

He thought of an old saying from Blue Star.

When they look at you with the eyes of an enemy, whatever you do is so suspicious, hateful, and repulsive.

Since that's the case...

His figure continued to rise, heading straight for the golden light that enveloped the entire port city.

"Stop him!"

Xuanhe roared, and at the same time, part of his mental power transformed into a soul technique to suppress the Gu Jinlai the other part fell directly on Biyuan: "Did you see that? A third-order Golden Immortal, and a third-order Golden Immortal who has mastered a new technique, is hiding his identity and cultivation in our Immortal Shadow Society. Doesn't this prove that he has ulterior motives?! Why don't you quickly join me in attacking him and entangle him until the Society Master arrives!"

A burning desire flashed in his eyes. "If we could send such a big fish to the Myriad Realms Alliance... maybe we could all qualify to go there for further studies..."

Bi Yuan's expression was complicated.

At this moment, he didn't know how to explain it.

Even if Gu Jinlai, it wouldn't make sense to say that one already possessed the strength of the pinnacle of humanity.

The transition from the old law to the new law was completed in just one month!?

It's important to understand that the skills involved are beyond description in words, talent, or comprehension.

It's like an experienced driver from another country who, completely unfamiliar with the country's traffic laws and with vastly different driving habits between the two countries, starts speeding here without any apparent incongruity.

Who would believe that he has never been to this country and has no connection with it?

Thinking of this, even though he still had many unanswered questions, he could only respond to Xuanhe and take action to trap Gu Jinlai first.

When the Lord arrives, capture him. If he can explain himself clearly, then we can proceed with the next steps.

With this thought in mind, he manipulated the array that enveloped the entire port city. Dozens of golden lights in the sky seemed to have a life of their own, forming chains that swept towards him, as if to bind him within them.

Seeing this, Gu Jinlai withdrew his gaze from Biyuan.

"Never mind."

He was different from others.

It's understandable that others would have doubts about how Qingguang overcame what others had endured for thousands of years in one fell swoop.

This situation is ultimately different from that of the Holy Dynasty.

When he first entered the Holy Dynasty, there were probably more than 100,000 or 200,000 Martial Kings like him in the entire Holy Dynasty.

His entry into it was like a fish swimming in the ocean, and he wouldn't attract much attention.

However, in the Immortal Realm, the number of Golden Immortal level beings, including both the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty and the rebel army, is estimated to be no more than a thousand.

In this situation, he, a Golden Immortal of the Great Dao who suddenly appeared, was conspicuous no matter how you looked at him.

Ultimately, he was just too strong.

He was so strong that no one dared to let their guard down against him.

He was so powerful that before he gained complete trust, even the slightest unusual action could trigger an overreaction from the Fairy Shadow Society.

The Fairy Shadow Society is too small a pond to hold big fish.

However, he wouldn't complain about anything.

Everyone has their own ideas. The Immortal Shadow Society's limited vision is simply because they haven't reached the point where they can show their magnanimity. Faced with a small force like the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty, they cannot withstand any setbacks.

With this thought in mind, the starlight that emerges behind us Gu Jinlai, shines ever brighter.

As the golden light swept in from the sky, the dazzling starlight began to spin rapidly, like satellites orbiting his body, carrying a brilliant glow as they crashed into the golden chains.

The golden chains shattered under the violent impact.

The fluctuations of mental power swept across the void.

At the same time, the rapidly spinning starlight also crashed down, most of it hitting the mountain-like secret technique formed by Xuan Jaw, while the rest directly hit the modified users and pilots who were taking off.

The moment everyone was pierced by the starlight, they all felt their minds and souls shake violently, as if they were being torn apart.

Amidst the agonizing screams of some level seven or eight pilots and modders, these figures that had soared into the void plummeted to the ground.

Considering the Cultivation Method and help given to him by Bi Yuan and Pang Yuan, he did not kill the attackers.

"Starlight Rotation Technique!?"

This scene immediately made Bi Yuan, who had personally handed the Star Chart to Gu Jinlai, widen his eyes.

This is the accompanying secret technique for the Star Chart!

A startling guess suddenly popped into his mind.

Could it be...?

In Gu Jinlai, it really only took one month to complete the revision from the old method to the new method, and to completely master the Star Chart!

But... how is that possible!?

This is terrifying.

How could such a genius exist in this world?!

With a single blow, the defensive base was shattered, and Gu Jinlai's figure rose once more.

The Great Sun Core within the body began to operate under the stimulation of mental power.

With this action, he immediately noticed the difference between the third level of Golden Immortal and the peak of the Human Path.

The total amount of mental power remained almost unchanged, but the change in its application resulted in a geometric increase in the power that the Great Sun Core could unleash.

Previously, at the peak of the Human Realm, his mental power was only used to increase the power of the Great Sun Core; the higher the power, the higher the output.

However, the mind of a third-tier Golden Immortal is now mainly used to counteract the influence of the devouring power on the Great Sun Core, thereby better releasing the output power of the Great Sun Core.

One approach is to tough it out, while the other is to operate by hiding.

The efficiency of the two is naturally incomparable.

A brilliant, dazzling light, like the blazing sun, has been emanating from within the body since Gu Jinlai.

The sheer intensity of the energy released in that instant caused Xuanhe, who was planning to rely on his modified physique to force his way in, to abruptly stop, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes.

"This energy power..."

Just as he was looking horrified, Gu Jinlai's speed suddenly increased several times over. Surrounded by starlight, it directly broke through the defenses covering the port city and disappeared into the horizon.

Several seconds after Gu Jinlai disappeared, Xuanhe waved his hand heavily. "Damn it! A big fish! This is definitely a big fish!"

The vice president of the Immortal Shadow Society was filled with resentment. "His efficiency in utilizing nuclear energy has reached its peak, and he's probably... close to annihilation energy! If we can capture such a big fish and hand it over to the Myriad Realms Alliance, not only will the Myriad Realms Alliance's research on nuclear fusion energy reach a new level, but they might also be able to use this opportunity to gain control of annihilation energy, which is currently only in the hands of the royal family!"

Biyuan stared at the direction where the Gu Jinlai disappeared, remaining silent for a long time.

At this moment, he was somewhat unsure whether Gu Jinlai was a creator or...

Is it really that so-called innate divine being?

Not long after, a beam of light swiftly streaked across the horizon.

The leader, Mu Wuying, has arrived.

Unfortunately, he was already too late.

Xuanhe stepped forward and quickly began exchanging words with Mu Wuying.

Upon hearing this, Mu Wuying's eyes also revealed regret. "We underestimated him too much. We thought he was just a first-order Golden Immortal who had just mastered the new technique, but we didn't expect him to be so cunning... If we had known this, we should have joined forces with the other guild leaders in the surrounding area to set up an array before making our move..."

Xuanhe also looked like he had missed a tremendous fortuitous opportunity.

Biyuan listened to what the two said but remained silent.

The things that Gu Jinlai are truly unpredictable.

Seeing this, Mu Wuying could only say, "It's come to this now, let's get out of here as soon as possible. This place has been exposed and it's not safe anymore."
