"The Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty... is about to leave?"
There are some things that Gu Jinlai.
Despite the nice words of the Celestial Star Lords, ultimately, they were clearly unwilling to confront the evil god entrenched in the Realm of Immortality.
Tianxiang Xingjun seemed to see through Gu Jinlai's thoughts, but he didn't say anything. He only said, "I understand your feelings. If you have no choice, who would want to leave their homeland? But... not all evil gods are the same... Let alone whether you can build a small world in such a short time, even if you do build a small world and surround your star, it may not be able to stop the evil god in your world. Do you understand what I mean?"
This Gu Jinlai, drawing parallels to the assessments made by the star deities within the Xuanhuang Palace regarding the state of that evil god...
It is evolving.
Since it is evolution, it is naturally evolving from one level to another.
An ordinary small world can withstand the avatar of a common evil god, but this evil god...
After a moment of silence, Gu Jinlai finally decided to give it a try.
After all, there are still decades to go.
"Thank you, Celestial Star Lord. If things are truly beyond our control, I will choose to leave."
This Gu Jinlai.
Tianxiang Xingjun nodded.
The internal space of the Immortal Xuanhuang Realm is limited.
With a population of several hundred billion to nearly a trillion, the world has already reached its limit.
After all, most of the beings in this world have entered the cultivation system, and for the same number, their need for living space and resources is much greater than that of the Immortal Realm, the Profound Immortal Realm, and Blue Star.
When the Immortal Xuanhuang Realm decides to withdraw, countless other worlds that were previously wavering will have to make a decision, which will naturally make the living space and population capacity within them even more strained.
The fact that Tianxiang Xingjun was willing to give him a place and billions of slots shows that he values him highly.
"This world is vast. Perhaps you should step out of your own world and truly set your sights on the endless starry sky. In our Xuanhuang Star Region, breaking through to the Great Dao Golden Immortal realm is no easy feat. However, in the Heart of the Universe, although the Great Dao is chaotic, it is also clearly manifested, making it easier to come into contact with it. As a result, Great Dao Golden Immortals emerge in droves. Furthermore, powerful beings who have ventured deep into the Heart of the Universe have brought forth wondrous methods that allow Great Dao Golden Immortals to more easily break through to the Immortal Golden Immortal realm through the dual cultivation and divine union technique."
As Tianxiang Xingjun said this, he himself was somewhat uncertain. "If we can break through to the Immortal Golden Immortal realm, we won't be so passive when facing gods and evil gods."
"The Immortal Golden Immortal".
It has been known Gu Jinlai that the essence of gods and evil spirits is actually those immortal golden immortals who feared the Dao Ancestor and went Evil Dao.
Although the evil god has mutated and evolved into a creature that even immortals cannot fully comprehend, the immortal golden immortals are at least not powerless against them.
"This is my signal. You can go to the boundary platform to open a temporary boundary gate and project it to the outside world."
Tianxiang Xingjun handed a jade talisman to Gu Jinlai: "I am going to preside over the great formation. This process requires me to concentrate all my strength and I cannot afford to be distracted."
After saying that, he paused slightly and said, "I hope that in the future, when we are in the sea of fire and stars, we will meet again."
Gu Jinlai, people have received the jade talisman.
This Tianxiang Star Lord is indeed as his name suggests: gentle in nature and friendly to others.
Of course, this is also closely related to his status as a "Great Dao Golden Immortal" and his achievements in improving the third-generation nuclear reactor three or four times.
However, mutual benefit is a very important factor in establishing relationships between people. How can someone who has no value be respected by others?
Yes, it will.
The road Gu Jinlai.
The next day, Gu Jinlai, carrying a stack of copied Jade Slip, met Yuan Sheng again at the House of Nature.
This member of the Myriad Realms Alliance also handed over the Star River Map.
Gu Jinlai examining it closely, he found it to be more complete than the star map that Tianxiang Xingjun had given him.
"Transaction complete."
From Gu Jinlai, those who have received the Jade Slip are about to depart.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Yuan Sheng urged him, "Scholar Gu arrived on time today. You should have already learned the truth from the Celestial Star Lord. It seems that the high-ranking officials of the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty are about to make a big move. Delay may cause changes, so please make a decision as soon as possible."
Gu Jinlai at him, his expression somewhat strange.
Since the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty plans to send the Immortal Xuanhuang Realm to the Xinhuo Star Sea, it will naturally sever its connection with all surrounding worlds. Otherwise, dragging those worlds away would require a lot of extra energy.
In other words, the crisis in the Xuanxian Realm has been resolved.
However, Yuan Sheng and the others were clearly unaware of this inside story.
The reason why he was able to know these messages in advance Gu Jinlai is because he was the one who brought the message from the evil god.
"I see."
Gu Jinlai didn't say much, and quickly left with the brand-new Star River Diagram Spirit Refining Method.
Watching Gu Jinlai leave, Bi Yuan opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he only let out a sigh.
Mu Wuying, however, frowned slightly. "These materials are of no value. A Spirit Refining Technique was exchanged for this pile of useless Jade Slip?"
"What you want to take must first be given."
Yuan Sheng calmly said, "The Xuanxian Realm has already been captured by the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty. Unless they abandon the Xuanxian Realm and watch it be destroyed by the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty, they will inevitably come to us for help."
He paused slightly as he spoke, "But if he really is the kind of person who would abandon his own world for his own benefit, then we should consider whether or not to invite him to join our Multiverse Alliance."
Mu Wuying nodded after hearing this.
Gu Jinlai did not go out again, but instead focused on improving the third-generation reactor derived from the Great Sun Core, which was based on the Great Sun Eternal Law's Sixfold Perfection.
Meanwhile, within the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty...
There were no major changes either.
For the vast majority of people within the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty, changing the trajectory of the entire Immortal Xuanhuang Realm and using a space tunnel to travel to the Xinhuo Star Sea would not make any difference.
After all, the Immortal Xuanhuang Realm is no longer what it used to be; it is now a continent and a star.
If the continents and stars dare to rashly deviate from their original orbits, it will have far-reaching consequences. If one is not careful, the continents will collapse, the stars will be shattered, and only a very small number of the living beings inside will be able to survive.
But a small world...
It internally gives rise to three thousand Great Daos. Although most of these Great Daos are substitutes, they can still ensure their own cycle and endless vitality.
If no one tells them, many people would probably never know in their lifetime that they live in a small, completely isolated world that is moving at high speed.
Working overtime like this, Gu Jinlai completed the third improvement of the third-generation nuclear reactor in just three months.
He also supervised the laboratory, personally operated the modified reactor, and stood guard for the last time.
Since this was the third improvement to a nuclear reactor in Gu Jinlai, and there had been prior publicity, it did not cause a great sensation.
Even so, after the reactor successfully operated stably at a higher power, Zhou Yueming, Xu Changsheng and others still came over, smiling and cupping their hands in congratulations, "Congratulations, Scholar Gu."
This time, Gu Jinlai didn't mince words and nodded in agreement. "Congratulations to you both."
In just two years, the Energy Academy has produced a series of results, and Zhou Yueming, as the deputy head of the academy, has also benefited greatly.
With three merits combined, it's likely he'll get a share of the "Miracle of All Spirits."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Gu Jinlai said, "Next, I need to go to my hometown. Well, I've already told Tianxiang Xingjun about this."
Zhou Yueming assumed that Gu Jinlai was going to his hometown to bring his relatives and friends over, and said with a smile, "Do you need any help? I own a large transportation company that can handle personnel transfers within the world. In addition, I have a professional gate-building team. The efficiency of our gate-building will definitely satisfy you."
"No need, I have my own way of handling it."
He waved his hand, as if to say something from Gu Jinlai.
"Haha, okay then, we'll continue our research on the fourth-generation nuclear reactor after you get back."
Zhou Yueming said with a smile.
Gu Jinlai nodded.
He didn't say he wouldn't come back.
After all...
The concept of time held by these Great Dao Golden Immortals is not the same as his concept of time.
Perhaps by the time they realize they've been gone for a while, he'll have already solved the problems of the Immortal Realm.
Even...
They might even arrive at the Starfire Sea before the Immortal Xuanhuang Realm.
Immortal Golden Immortal...
Immortality!
As long as they are not eliminated by the Dao Ancestor, their lifespan is infinite...
Just thinking about it is captivating.
Gu Jinlai have naturally wanted to step into this realm and appreciate the scenery of truly immortal life.
Gu Jinlai and Zhou Yueming and others bid farewell.
He also took half a day to entertain Zhou Ya, Shao Fuyou, and Zhang Chaoyang.
He didn't have a large social circle at the Energy Academy. He spent most of his time in the lab, and the people he knew were mostly the scholars and assistants in the lab.
Of course, there are also some students.
But these people all acted respectfully and honestly in front of him. The restrictions of their social status meant that there was naturally no deep relationship between them.
After doing all this, Gu Jinlai left the Energy Academy and headed towards the Boundary Platform.
Boundary towers were only established in the capital cities of each state.
Tianxiang City is the capital of Tianxiang Prefecture, so people don't need to travel far from it, either in Gu Jinlai.
Gu Jinlai, when people arrived at the boundary platform, the people coming and going here were mostly squads composed of highly skilled pilots.
They often use the power of the boundary platform to project their influence around the Immortal Xuanhuang Realm, eliminating some of the forces that surround it.
Gu Jinlai's a well-known figure in the energy field, but not many people in the pilot community know him.
However, once he produced the jade tablet of the Celestial Star Lord, everything went smoothly for him.
Considering that the Xuanxian Realm is connecting to the Xuanhuang Realm, the coordinates of the Xuanxian Realm Gu Jinlai.
This significantly improved the efficiency of the connection on the platform.
In just half a month, the Tianxiang Prefecture boundary platform had already captured the coordinates of the Xuanxian Realm gate.
As the spatial ripples flickered, Gu Jinlai looked back once more at the capital of Tianxiang Prefecture.
No one saw them off.
After all, for a Golden Immortal level cultivator, a decade or two is really too short.
Just like two good friends, they wouldn't put on a show of reluctance and see each other off for miles just because the other is going back to their hometown for a few days.
"This operation went surprisingly smoothly."
Gu Jinlai.
Although I did not obtain the Cultivation Method to break through to the Immortal Golden Immortal realm, I did obtain the Spirit Refining Technique.
Furthermore, having obtained the method to create a small world, the trip was not in vain.
He glanced back at the prefecture one Gu Jinlai time, and without further hesitation, he took a step and disappeared into the boundary platform.
Even after he left, Yuan Sheng and the others from the Myriad Realms Alliance still believed that Gu Jin would come to them for help when the Gu Jinlai, and that everything was under their control.
The Realm of Mysterious Immortals.
Xuan Yuan Sword Sect.
At this moment, the Dao Lords of the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect, who were skilled in spatial manipulation, were busy working up a sweat.
Especially Zhao Xinyang, the Immortal Lord who had cultivated the Principle Resonance, had a hint of fear in his eyes. "It has become stronger again! The force that binds our entire Xuanxian Realm and pulls us down in one direction has become stronger!"
"Is this situation still unavoidable?"
"Damn it, what has become of the Xuanhuang Realm now?"
"No matter what form it takes, I have a premonition that if we are allowed to fall into the Xuanhuang Realm, we will be torn to shreds by the forces surrounding the Xuanhuang Realm. It will be like a small asteroid entering a large planet surrounded by storms and Gang Qi. Before it even makes contact, it will be completely destroyed by the storms covering the surface of the star. So, we must stop it."
One by one, Dao Lords or scholars with considerable knowledge of space and realm gates were busy at work.
However, this situation has persisted for nearly a year since it was discovered, and there has been no improvement in such a long time.
Even Luo Jiuxiao and Wang Xuanjing have been alerted.
"Unfortunately, my Void-Breaking Mirror is in the hands of the Divine Jiang. If I had the Void-Breaking Mirror, I could try to go deep into the boundary gate to investigate."
Wang Xuanjing said in a deep voice.
"Saint Jiang... Speaking of Saint Jiang, haven't Zhao Xi and the others contacted him yet?"
Luo Jiuxiao addressed the current sect leader of the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect.
"No, they have also lost contact with Jiang Shengdi for more than two years. We have been out of contact with Xuanhuang Realm for more than a hundred years. No one knows what changes have taken place in Xuanhuang Realm over the years."
The sect leader of Xuan Yuan Sword Sect looked solemn, his eyes filled with unease.
"Keep them in touch."
Luo Jiuxiao said.
"Given the current speed at which the Xuanxian Realm has been captured and is falling towards the Xuanhuang Realm... the Xuanxian Realm... is probably in grave danger of being saved. If all else fails, we will have to temporarily retreat to the Changsheng Realm."
Wang Xuanjing said.
"Temporarily retreat to the Realm of Immortality..."
Luo Jiuxiao felt a chill run down his spine.
The Realm of Immortality is home to evil gods.
Close encounter with an evil god...
This is insane.
Just then, a visible ripple burst forth from the boundary gate.
Zhao Xinyang, who was nurturing the resonant Heavenly Dao, immediately realized something. "A brand new power has connected to our dimensional gate..."
Immediately afterward, he cried out in alarm, "Someone is coming! Someone is about to descend upon our Xuanxian Realm!"
Luo Jiuxiao's pupils contracted. "Be on guard!"
The Human Emperor of the Xuanhuang Realm had already gone mad, and was devouring the Xuanxian Realm, pulling it towards the Xuanhuang Realm, seemingly intent on destroying the entire Xuanxian Realm. At this time, cultivators from the Xuanhuang Realm...
The two immediately unleashed their respective immortal and quasi-immortal artifacts, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Soon, the spatial fluctuations that had dissipated reached their peak.
A day later, as a figure suddenly emerged from the spatial ripples, Luo Jiuxiao, Wang Xuanjing, and the patriarchs of the Chi, Bai, and Ji families who had also come to provide support upon hearing the news couldn't help but widen their eyes.
Final...
"Sacred Jiang!?"
"Is it Jiang Shengdi who's back!?"
"Call!"
Upon seeing the figure that had manifested from the spatial ripples, everyone in the Xuanxian Realm breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Jinlai had just emerged from the gate, glanced at the crowd and, after a moment's thought, quickly understood the reason.
He smiled and said, "No need to be nervous, the Xuanxian Realm is safe and sound."
Luo Jiuxiao, Wang Xuanjing, and the others felt relieved when they saw that the visitor was Gu Jinlai.
But then, as if remembering something, Luo Jiuxiao asked the question he cared about most, "Sacred Jiang, you come from the Xuanhuang Realm, do you know what the Xuanhuang Realm looks like now? Also... it seems that our Xuanxian Realm has been captured by the Xuanhuang Realm, and there is a strong possibility that it will be refined and devoured?"
"I said, the Xuanxian Realm is safe and sound."
Gu Jinlai: "The Xuanhuang Realm has built its defenses around itself based on the Great Dao of Devouring. The Xuanxian Realm is unaware of the reason for the connection, so it will naturally be captured by them. However, it is not a problem. The Xuanhuang Realm has already planned to fully activate its ability to leave this star field. Soon the connection between the two realms will be broken, and the Xuanxian Realm will be safe."
"I see, I see."
"Using the Great Dao to build a defense... the Great Dao... could that Human Emperor have broken through to the Immortal Golden Immortal realm?"
"Breaking through to become an Immortal Golden Immortal is not so easy... Being excellent is easy, but being perfect is difficult. In this world, it is countless times more difficult to approach perfection in one path than to be outstanding."
Several immortals spoke in unison.
Several people from Gu Jinlai, but he didn't say much.
The path from Great Dao Golden Immortal to Immortal Golden Immortal depends on the degree of harmony with the Great Dao, much like the academic performance of students.
It's easy to improve in the first few tens of points, but it gets harder and harder as you go on, and getting a perfect score is extremely difficult.
That requires a 100% mastery of a certain Dao.
Its nature...
It's much more than just getting a perfect score.
Instead, it's equivalent to thoroughly mastering the question bank for an entire course.
However, everyone present was a Xuanxian, and most of them were three-day or four-day Xuanxian, so there was not much point in talking to them.
Besides, they are, after all, descendants of Golden Immortals, so their basic knowledge might not be much worse than his.
"In the two years I was away, have the Xuanxian Realm and the Changsheng Realm been well?"
Gu Jinlai.
"All is well. The Xuanxian Realm has undergone a reshuffle following the Northern War. However, due to the vacant land and the abundant spiritual crystals from the Changsheng Realm, it is quite peaceful. The development of the Creation Sect is also thriving. Within a hundred years, it will truly show its dominance. The Changsheng Realm is also in need of reconstruction. King Zhao Xi is doing his best to build the cave heaven. The entire realm is enthusiastically engaged in construction."
Luo Jiuxiao responded with a smile.
Gu Jinlai listening, Gu Jinlai nodded in satisfaction.
"Sacred Jiang, please come and visit our Xuan Yuan Sword Sect. You can tell us about your experiences in the Xuanhuang Realm over the past two years."
Luo Jiuxiao extended an invitation.
"Regarding the Xuanhuang Realm... I'll go to the Changsheng Realm first, and we can discuss it together when I get there."
Gu Jinlai, he asked, "Have you obtained the various methods of Spirit Refining from my Lingxiao Palace?"
"Have."
Luo Jiuxiao perked up and immediately said, "Some of the concepts involved in the methods of Spirit Refining have broadened our horizons."
"Alright, then let's go to the Immortal Kingdom of the Longevity Realm and have a good talk."
Gu Jinlai, he seemed to have thought of something, "There is a very important matter that I also need to arrange."
Seeing that the event was referred to as a "major event" Gu Jinlai, Luo Jiuxiao, Wang Xuanjing, and the others couldn't help but ask, "Could it be... related to that evil god?"
Gu Jinlai nodded.
During the time when the boundary platform connected to the Xuanxian Realm, he carefully studied the small world forging method given to him by the Celestial Star Lord.
The Small World Forging Method has a strict standard: it must be presided over by an Immortal Golden Immortal.
At the very least, one must possess an immortal artifact.
As for the remaining three thousand Great Daos...
Then one can use a Great Dao Golden Immortal, or even a Dao Lord who gave birth to the Heavenly Dao, as a substitute.
It's simply a matter of how good or bad the final small world looks.
But immortal artifacts are far more valuable than ordinary immortal artifacts.
Xuan Yuan Sword Ancestor was already considered a prominent figure among the Golden Immortals of the Great Dao, yet he still only accumulated six Immortal Artifacts. Above Immortal Artifacts were High-Grade Immortal Artifacts and Supreme-Grade Immortal Artifacts...
In short, for both Gu Jinlai, creating a small world is an almost impossible task.
There was only one place on which he could place his hopes.
Blue Star!
He hoped that, as he guessed, Blue Star was a fragment that broke off from some advanced civilization or a continent in the universe, and that it might contain some powerful treasures from High Antiquity times.
I don't expect it to reach the extraordinary level of the Azure Green Lotus, but at least...
Several immortal artifacts were unearthed for him.
With this in mind, Gu Jinlai had a brief exchange with Luo Jiuxiao, Wang Xuanjing, and others before heading straight for the Realm of Immortality.
Because the Xuanxian Realm was captured and "dragged" a distance by the Xuanhuang Realm, many gates and passages between the Changsheng Realm and the Xuanxian Realm collapsed.
Fortunately, the rift in Crimson Flame Canyon can still be used with some effort.
The reason I say "barely" is...
After all, Wang Xuanjing's Void-Breaking Mirror was still in his possession.
Although this immortal artifact is severely damaged, it can still be activated.
One day later.
The figure from Gu Jinlai appeared atop a mountain in the center of the Immortal Kingdom.
Standing atop this mountain and gazing out, one is greeted by an endless sea of clouds, a sight that soothes the soul.
At this moment, Zhao Xi, as well as Luo Jiuxiao, Tian Qingzi, Dan Chenzi, and others who reside here in their avatar forms, were all present.
Upon learning that Gu Jinlai returned from the Xuanhuang Realm, they immediately put aside their work and came here to reunite.
"So, it's confirmed?"
After reviewing about ten documents provided by Zhao Xi, Gu Jinlai looked up and gazed around.
"It's been confirmed."
Zhao Xi nodded. "The development of Blue Star civilization is indeed in an abnormal way. Theoretically speaking... the human race should not exist on that planet at all. Their structure and development direction are incompatible with the native animals on that planet... I can say with certainty that the human race is not the native inhabitant of that planet."
His conclusion has been consistent Gu Jinlai.
Humans...
They ended up on that planet for some reason.
It could be a hidden paradise, or a magical Law Treasure you to contemplate space.
Even...
A ready-made little world!
He had previously speculated that Blue Star was a fragment that broke off from a continental wonder after an epic war.
While the current conclusion has some errors, the difference is not significant.
"So, how can we bring to light the secrets hidden on Blue Star?"
This Gu Jinlai.
"Since many ancient texts are related to the civilization of cultivators, then we should naturally start from this aspect."
Zhao Xidao.
"You mean... to promote the revival of Spiritual Qi on Blue Star, to allow Blue Star to relive the era of High Antiquity cultivator civilization, and to provide those mysteriously restarted environments?"
