"It’s too coincidental, the definition of ’Immortal’ is extremely similar in two worlds, it’s just too coincidental."
Zhang Yun’s expression carried seriousness, "In fact, not only in the Ancient Xia Civilization, but even on our Blue Star, thousands to tens of thousands of years ago, there existed many incidents that science couldn’t explain, as if there really was a brilliant civilization of cultivators back then."
"Now every inch of land on Blue Star is under satellite surveillance, if those super humans and immortals really exist, who can tell me where they are?"
Adren countered.
Being a soldier, he only believed in the weapon in his hand.
Zhang Yun could not provide an answer.
He merely sent the speculation he had based on the information he got to Blue Star.
"All I can do is make suggestions, in hopes that once Blue Star also faces major changes due to contact with this world, it will allow our Star Shining Federation to take the lead,"
Zhang Yun said.
Further details...
Were beyond his control.
That was not his field of expertise.
"Immortal..."
Adren sighed.
He did not continue on this topic that obviously wouldn’t yield any results. Instead, he turned to his specialty, "We have already produced quite a lot of weapons, arming a force of three thousand soldiers is not a problem, and among this batch, there are many professional soldiers. With their training, this army will soon possess certain combat power. When are we going to overthrow Mu Long Country and take its place?"
"Although we are slowly unveiling the mysteries of this world, I always feel like things aren’t so simple. We need to be more cautious,"
Zhang Yun said, "Just to be safe, let’s wait a bit longer. When we have a higher industrial standard and can produce more firearms and cannons, then occupy Mu Long Country. Use it as a base to storm through the world with overwhelming force."
Although Adren thought Zhang Yun was being overly cautious, he did not argue further.
Having a cautious leader in a new world wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.
He simply said, "Those nations in Central Earth might have already gotten ahead of us, at the very least, we need to quickly catch up to their pace."
"Soon, we have already established contact with the federation and can be supported by the federation’s technology at any moment. Give me three years, and by then it won’t be difficult to have the industrial base to produce nuclear weapons,"
Zhang Yun said, "When we reach that step, we can then announce our existence to the world."
...
The core of Immortal Country is a Super Cave Heaven.
Even calling it a Super Cave Heaven might not be enough, it should be called a Small World.
Long ago, when Immortal Country halted the advance of one creator after another, those powers dependent on the creators began infiltrating Immortal Country.
Now, after a thousand years, some powers have merged into the system of Immortal Country because their backed creators disappeared.
But some still managed to keep in contact with their creators behind them, staunchly carrying out the commands left by the creators.
Bai Ze Palace, situated 13,000 miles away from Immortal Country’s Small World, was one such power.
Bai Yuxin, the twelfth generation Palace Master of Bai Ze Palace, had not long ago received a "Dao Mark" from Heavenly Dragon Wood and Artifact Spirit Purple Sun to oversee the grand ceremony of the creator—the Aries Star Lord’s descent.
Unexpectedly, that "Dao Mark," relying on its extraordinary potential, had forcefully disrupted the Aries Star Lord’s descent ceremony and escaped through the Star Gate.
During this time, she had been searching for the whereabouts of that "Dao Mark."
Today, within the Array of Bai Ze Palace, she unexpectedly captured the message left by the Aries Star Lord, indicating the possible whereabouts of the "Dao Mark" and instructing them to search for it.
In an instant, Bai Yuxin’s spirit was invigorated; she immediately gathered all the masters of Bai Ze Palace.
Six Saints!
And...
One Void Immortal!
...
"Good! Good! Good! Finally found it!"
At this moment, the leading Void Immortal, Bai Muling, dressed in regal palace attire and looking majestic, said with a broad smile: "These years, our Bai Ze Palace, due to many trump cards not daring to be exposed, had to tread carefully in Immortal Country’s territory, making development extremely difficult. If this continues... our lineage might well be cut off..."
She was somewhat excited: "But if the great Aries Star Lord His Majesty could descend successfully... Everyone in Immortal Country would recognize His Majesty as the savior! Relying on his power to confront the imminent arrival of Demon Lord Cangming from the Blood Moat Demon Abyss! By then, our Bai Ze Palace will surely experience an unprecedented glorious prosperity!"
Bai Yuxin also nodded vigorously, "The current Immortal Country now arrogantly claims to be the leader of the Human Clan, but a thousand years ago, Immortal Country was barely surviving in the shadows between Gods Mountain, Sea God Temple, Netherworld, and our Holy Land. If not for the creators’ powers being at odds, they would have been annihilated long ago. How could they enjoy the present glory? But once Aries Star Lord His Majesty descends, all this glory and honor will belong to our Aries Star Palace!"
"That Dao Mark named Gu Jinlai actually hid in the Holy Dynasty? The Holy Dynasty has many masters, and there are also many demons nearby... We should be cautious on this trip to prevent any accidents,"
Saint Guang Hanfeng spoke solemnly.
"We are not confronting the Holy Dynasty head-on, just going to capture a person. What accidents could there be? Regarding the demons nearby... those demons pose a threat to ordinary people, but among the eight people we are sending, with two great Void Immortals and six Saints, what a lineup! Even flattening a small demon territory isn’t a difficult task!"
Bai Yuxin opened her palm and clenched it tightly as if she wanted to grasp all changes firmly within her hand: "Gu Jinlai, at most a Martial King, such an insignificant character, the last time he escaped from my hands was the greatest humiliation of my life. This time, he won’t be able to fly away!"
"We should not delay any longer, let’s head to the Holy Dynasty as soon as possible."
Bai Muling said, glancing in a direction, "In recent years, the Immortal Country and those outsiders have been continuously exchanging, which has led to the birth of numerous powerhouses in the Immortal Country. We must invite the great Aries Star Lord to descend as soon as possible. If these cultivators continue to grow stronger... the task of spreading the creator’s glory throughout the world once again will become significantly more challenging."
Bai Yuxin and the others thought of the recent changes in the Immortal Country, and their expressions turned somewhat grim.
She nodded her head, eager to take action.
Soon, they had assembled a group of experts and headed directly towards the Holy Dynasty.
...
Wind and Rain City.
Although Gu Jinlai had left Wind and Rain City, he still left Zhuo Chunqiu, Xi Baintian, Yan Lie, and others in charge of the affairs of Wind and Rain City.
He even had Zhuo Chunqiu directly oversee the City Protection Array’s Array Core, controlling the array together with Yun Chen.
As long as they held the City Protection Array, no matter how chaotic Wind and Rain City became, they could correct its course at a moment’s notice.
Fortunately, thanks to Gu Jinlai’s days of ruthless killing in Wind and Rain City, which restored order, the ambitious schemers capable of stirring up trouble had been almost completely eliminated.
The rest...
Because Gu Jinlai had only recently left the city, were still observing from the shadows.
After all, facing the terrifying surge of the demon tide initiated by the Dragon Tears Demon Emperor, Gu Jinlai had not chosen to rely on Wind and Rain City’s strong defense, but had instead led his people outside the city to confront the enemy, planning to battle the demons at Flying Dragon Mountain a thousand miles away?
It was hard not to suspect that this could be a trap left by Gu Jinlai.
The purpose being to lure them out again for another slaughter, ensuring that when the demon tide hit, Wind and Rain City could unite and withstand the attack.
Amid these hesitations and observations, Gu Jinlai had already eliminated the threat of the demon tide and led everyone back to Wind and Rain City.
"City Lord, let us immediately spread the news that the demon tide has been crushed to the people of Wind and Rain City."
Su Shian said, smiling, "Once this news is out, everyone in Wind and Rain City will surely plunge into a sea of cheers."
Gu Jinlai pondered and did not respond immediately.
He had not forgotten that his base of operations was in Qiantian.
The reason he had not returned to Qiantian previously was because of the Heavenly Dragon Wood keeping watch there.
But today’s battle with the Dragon Tears Demon Emperor had made him realize that his strength...
Even though he was slightly inferior to the likes of the Heavenly Dragon Wood in terms of defense and preservation, his offensive capabilities were not only comparable but even arguably superior.
Moreover...
He was now only nine hundred pieces of Thunder Magnetic Elemental Gold away from fully advancing his Chaotic Star Light Body to Perfection.
Once this Golden Technique reached Perfection, his combat power would leap again, reaching the level comparable to a True Immortal residing in the world.
By then, the threat posed by the Heavenly Dragon Wood would be negligible.
In other words, by that time, he would definitely need to make a trip back to Qiantian.
But before going to Qiantian, he needed to ensure everything in Wind and Rain City was properly arranged. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
As per Ding Zhongyuan’s perspective, the demons have relocated their main forces to the Immortal Country, and not many strong individuals remain... If the Holy Dynasty possesses enough determination, they might even break out of the demon’s encirclement, significantly expanding the Holy Dynasty’s influence and territory, rather than facing increasingly scarce resources as they are now...
Gu Jinlai thought to himself.
Though the Holy Dynasty spans a vast domain of a hundred thousand miles, within these territories are regions that resemble nails, akin to Demon Territories embedded within.
In other words, the territories that truly belong to the Holy Dynasty are estimated to be no more than 400 million square kilometers.
The resources of this area are simply insufficient for the accumulation of Devas, Martial Kings, Saints, and Martial Saints in the Holy Dynasty.
Therefore, if conditions permit, convincing the upper echelons of the Holy Dynasty to take advantage of the demon’s absence and break through the blockade to expand their reach is the proper course of action.
It just depends on whether the higher-ups of the Holy Dynasty have truly lost their spirit of initiation.
Pondering, Gu Jinlai made his decision.
He spoke briefly to Su Shian, "We indeed need to share this good news with the citizens of Wind and Rain City to alleviate their concerns. Arrange this matter."
Then turning to Ji Lie, he said, "Let’s make a trip to the Demon-slaying Hall and calculate my Contribution Value using the Heavenly Shadow Instrument first."
"Uh... There’s only one Heavenly Shadow Instrument in Wind and Rain City, and it was destroyed in the previous battle..."
Ji Lie responded.
"Is that so."
Gu Jinlai waved his hand, "Then let’s head to Liuhuo City, or Hai Feng City instead. This time, after crushing the demon tide, the Contribution Value I’ve earned will definitely be in the billions, and it can’t be wasted."
At that moment, Zhuo Chunqiu quickly rushed over, upon hearing what Gu Jinlai had said, immediately declared, "Venerable Daoist, you... may not be able to go to Liuhuo City and Hai Feng City anymore."
With a solemn expression, he said, "The latest news, just this morning, the city lords of Hai Feng City, Liuhuo City, and Purple Thunder City issued a joint complaint, followed by the Holy Dynasty issuing a warrant. You have been listed as a demonic cultist by the Holy Dynasty and are now wanted nationwide."
