Chapter 590: Chapter 582: Clash
Gu Jinlai locked onto the Spirit Light, and his True Spirit projected immediately.
...
Meanwhile, far away in the Immortal Country.
Atop a mountain range specially arranged for the people of the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect, there was a complex large enough to accommodate thousands of individuals.
Within one of the palaces of this complex, one of the Five Great True Immortals of the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect—Immortal Sui Mu—was meditating behind closed doors at the center of an Array.
This was the Great Thousand Array, created at a great cost by the Five Great True Immortals, allowing True Immortals who had achieved Dao Fruit and Great Dao Perfection to break through the barriers between worlds and Divine Travel to the Great Thousand.
This type of Array was the most commonly used by top cultivator civilizations in searching for other cultivator civilizations.
Typically, this array was first used to locate other civilizations, then they would attempt to establish a passage in those civilizations, and subsequently allure that civilization to open the barriers between the two worlds, and if that failed...
at least they would find a vessel to enable their Primordial Spirit to descend.
Once the Primordial Spirit arrived, they could use a method similar to "reincarnation and recultivation" to rapidly grow the vessel, thus gaining certain powers in that world and using those powers to construct something similar to a Star Gate to completely open the passage between the two realms, ultimately conquering that civilization.
At the moment, besides Immortal Sui Mu, the hall also included Earth Suppressing True Immortal.
Divine Travel to the Great Thousand required varying amounts of Primordial Spirit Power based on the distance of the worlds.
Should all the Primordial Spirit Power be poured in, even powerful True Immortals would have little ability to resist, naturally requiring the protection of others.
In such a situation, Earth Suppressing True Immortal, who was the most skilled in defense among the Five Great True Immortals, was undoubtedly the best choice.
Besides Earth Suppressing True Immortal, there was also a man who appeared to be under thirty, carefully accompanying by the side.
As Immortal Sui Mu engaged in Divine Travel to the Great Thousand, he would occasionally ask, "What they are most worried about is actually their rule being influenced, not the changes our ’arrival’ as outsiders might bring to the world, right?"
"Yes."
The man quickly nodded and hastily said, "Yellow Dragon Country is somewhat better, they still care about public opinion. However, in Da Jin Country, those in higher positions have almost no shame left; they only care about their own interests and do not care about the lives of ordinary people at all."
"Hehe, Han Feng, don’t be nervous. You are my disciple; no one dares to do anything to you,"
said Immortal Sui Mu.
The man known as Han Feng quickly replied, "I just feel scared when I think about the life back in Da Jin... If not for my Master, there would be no Han Feng today, let alone the opportunity to follow Master’s lead and embark on the path of cultivation, with the hope of becoming an Immortal. It feels just like a dream."
"So, as dark as Da Jin is, don’t the people below resist? I recall, that world called Blue Star isn’t some world where all grand powers are united as one; even those high and mighty ones can be killed by arrows, can’t they?" Earth Suppressing True Immortal asked curiously.
"They can’t resist."
Han Feng said bitterly, "Those in higher positions and us ordinary people simply aren’t in the same world; what we eat, use, and even where we live have no intersection at all—it’s like being in split separate worlds. In this case, we can’t resist at all..."
As he spoke, he self-mockingly added, "The only method of resistance is probably just to give up hope for life, to simply survive... According to international terms, given Da Jin’s current birth rate, the entire country is estimated to completely disappear in a hundred years... That is our only struggle."
"So, such a fallen world can only await our salvation."
Immortal Sui Mu chuckled slightly.
Just then, he seemed to sense something.
"Who is it!?"
He suddenly became alert, stimulating his Divine Thought.
He even interrupted his communication with the Blue Star Immortal Research Institute.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, a powerful True Spirit carrying a force that could obliterate all in its path descended upon Immortal Sui Mu.
It was Gu Jinlai.
While most of his Primordial Spirit Power was projected to Blue Star, Gu Jinlai’s True Spirit directly manifested a radiant glow of ten thousand Zhang...
Soul Secret Technique—Great Sun Eternal Radiance!
"Presumptuous!"
Immortal Sui Mu roared furiously. In his Spirit World, it seemed as if a Dao Fruit had appeared, integrating into the void and harnessing the Power of Dao of the heavens and the earth.
In an instant, Gu Jinlai felt as if his True Spirit was illuminated not on a being, but on an entire world.
."I’m not a creator without a Spirit Realm Body; it’s too far-fetched to suppress a True Immortal with the power of True Spirit alone, even though his Primordial Spirit Power is almost entirely projected to Blue Star, and his Spirit World’s defense is at its weakest—it still cannot obliterate him in one fell swoop."
Gu Jinlai felt somewhat regretful.
To resolve a True Immortal at the soul level through the Soul Secret Technique was ultimately too difficult for him.
Even though the current situation seemed favorable.
Unable to completely suppress Immortal Sui Mu, Gu Jinlai quickly changed his approach.
While continuing to refine Immortal Sui Mu’s residual Primordial Spirit Power with the Great Sun Eternal Radiance Technique, he directly surged towards the depths of his Spirit World.
The Spirit World often harbored memories.
Gu Jinlai’s search this time was precisely for the purpose of the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect’s arrival in the Immortal Country and the complete Spirit Mechanism Technique in his memory.
"Seeking death!"
Frosty killing intent burst from Immortal Sui Mu’s eyes.
His Primordial Spirit Power swiftly returned from "Divine Travel to the Great Thousand," forming a potent shackle that completely sealed his True Spirit.
Simultaneously, the tsunami manifested by the Primordial Spirit Power began to suppress the radiance of the Great Sun Eternal Radiance Technique.
Merely a breath’s time had passed, and the brilliance of the Great Sun Eternal Radiance Technique had dimmed.
The Primordial Spirit of Immortal Sui Mu had struck Gu Jinlai’s True Spirit with the force of shattering dry weeds and crushing rotten wood.
On his opponent’s home ground, Gu Jinlai’s True Spirit was hardly able to withstand and collapsed in an instant.
"Damn it!"
Only after completely crushing Gu Jinlai’s True Spirit did Immortal Sui Mu grimace as he opened his eyes.
"Has someone’s Primordial Spirit broken the sky to descend, intending to seize your body while your Primordial Spirit was absent?"
Immortal Zhen Tu asked hastily.
This level of battle at the Primordial Spirit level was not something he could intervene in.
After all, everyone’s Primordial Spirit and Spirit World hid their deepest secrets, and one misstep could spark a war.
"Not a Primordial Spirit... The advantage for the main battler in a Primordial Spirit clash is too great... Even a Heavenly Immortal trying to seize my body would be instantly crushed by me." 𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑝𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝘮
Immortal Sui Mu said solemnly, "It’s a True Spirit! An incredibly powerful one, most likely belonging to a Great Heavenly Monarch!"
"A Great Heavenly Monarch’s True Spirit!?"
Immortal Zhen Tu’s expression turned stern.
Heavenly Monarch!
This world still possessed that most ancient cultivation system.
For a moment, his expression became grave: "Could it be that our actions have been detected?"
"I’m not sure."
Immortal Sui Mu’s expression was grave: "Heavenly Monarchs... Immortal Countries have them too, they have cultivated some people to prevent the Demon Spirit clan from attacking this world in the form of Demon Spirits, but Great Heavenly Monarchs are not easy to cultivate, and their numbers absolutely can’t be high. If we investigate carefully, perhaps we can figure out who is secretly peeping at us."
"This matter could be big or small; we must notify Immortal Taibai."
Immortal Zhen Tu said.
Immortal Sui Mu nodded and quickly took out a Jade Talisman to send a message.
Before long, a Divine Thought broke through the sky, directly forming a phantom that projected in front of the two Immortals.
"Dong Master."
Immortal Sui Mu and Immortal Zhen Tu bowed simultaneously.
From their respectful manner, it appeared they were not greeting an Immortal of their own level, but one of a higher realm, a Heavenly Immortal.
"I am currently engaged in battle at the Blood Moat Demon Abyss, what is the matter?"
Immortal Taibai said gravely.
Immediately, Immortal Sui Mu explained what had just occurred to him in detail.
"A Great Heavenly Monarch? Directly attacking your spirit world?"
"Yes! And it was aiming for the memories in my mind about our current mission and the Spirit Mechanism Technique," said Immortal Sui Mu, adding, "The most crucial point was, I happened to be traveling divinely through the great thousand."
"Just at this time to carry out something akin to ’body seizure’, yet it was executed by someone comparable to a Great Heavenly Monarch level being...
"To let a Great Heavenly Monarch encounter the backlash of a True Spirit just to retrieve this information from your mind, it appears they have sensed something, fortunately... in the time of one breath, even if he could access your memory, the amount would be very limited," Immortal Taibai said gravely.
"Dong Master, should we launch our move ahead of schedule?"
Immortal Zhen Tu spoke, glancing in one direction: "The nurturing of the Heavenly Dao should also be nearly enough, even exceeding the minimum standard required to initiate."
That was the direction of the Immortal Country.
The Immortal Country was actually comprised of more than a dozen grotto heavens and one super-large grotto heaven, interspersed with quite a bit of territory.
The smaller grotto heavens ranged in size from a few to several hundred miles, while that super-large grotto heaven...
Stretched over a thousand miles.
Currently, this grotto heaven was drawing the Spirit Mechanism of a radius of several hundred thousand miles, nurturing a Heavenly Dao.
And the function of that Heavenly Dao...
"Wait a bit longer! They are just suspicious; otherwise, it wouldn’t just be a probe but a direct attack, and if they aren’t tearing their faces off, let’s pretend we haven’t noticed," Immortal Taibai’s Divine Thought fluctuated with a chilling air: "Once the Heavenly Dao has finished nurturing, these ignorant and backward people of this world, who have merely piled up to their realms entirely through precious resources, will know what a true Immortal is! What the Power of Dao is!"
"After all, this side eventually has six Cave Heaven Immortals, although they lack the knowledge of the vast immensity of your Immortal Majesty, dealing with them might still be a bit troublesome with the five of us," Immortal Zhen Tu said.
"I will allow some Demon Gods to invade the territory of the Immortal Country, thereby convincing the Immortal Country to allow our Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect to call an additional ten True Immortals into the field," Immortal Taibai said calmly: "With our fifteen Immortals, supplemented by the nurtured Power of Dao, it will be more than enough to annihilate this group of True Immortals and Heavenly Immortals who have climbed to their realms through their uniquely favorable environment."
His Divine Thought carried absolute confidence, as if he regarded several Heavenly Immortals and dozens of True Immortals of the Immortal Country as nothing.
"I can hardly wait for that day to arrive."
Immortal Sui Mu lamented with a tone akin to extreme distress: "Dao Artifacts are left lying around... Immortal Artifact materials are even cast into Divine Weapons that sever Dao paths, the countless varieties of Five Elements Spiritual Materials are innumerable, even used to forge Sacred Bodies... What a waste of Heaven’s treasures! Such a devastation of Heaven’s favors!"
"It won’t be too long. Time is on our side. Once they come, once this Heavenly Dao has fully nurtured... all of this will belong to our Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect," Immortal Taibai said with a faint smile: "With the harvest from this world, our Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect will surely suppress the other sects and become the true hegemon of the Profound Immortal Domain."
