Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal

Gu Jinlai did not remain in this extreme emotion for an entire day.

After all, he was only suppressing the Space Dao compatibility to reveal its rationality, not really risking his life to improve the Dao compatibility.

The nature of the two is still somewhat different.

Half a day later.

Under the expectant gaze of everyone in the Qin family, he finally released the Space Dao's compatibility with himself, allowing it to rise to 98%.

At this moment, not to mention the younger Qin Yiren, Qin Zhengfang, even Qin Wuji, Wei Qingqing, including Qin Yuyan, the Domain Master of the Yanhuang Star Domain, could not help but feel a sense of awe towards the young.

"He broke through! He broke through! He..."

Qin Wuji was too excited and thrilled, his body couldn't stop trembling: "Space Dao compatibility 98%, did you see that? He broke through!? And set a new cultivation record!"

Qin Zhengfang nodded vigorously.

Previously, he thought Gu Jinlai was just an outsider, even if talented, how could he deserve their Qin Yiren, who nearly became an Immortal Seed of the Qin family?

But now, he had only one thought left in his mind.

What kind of immortal is this!?

What kind of otherworldly being is this!?

He couldn't even summon a trace of jealousy.

Just as he stood before someone like Qin Yuyan, a true supreme prodigy, he felt only boundless respect and admiration, without any sense of discontent with her power or status.

And Qin Yiren was continuously examining Gu Jinlai.

As if she wanted to truly see clearly this man who might live with her for a lifetime in the future.

So that she won't be like now, where he closed off for a hundred years, and she didn't even know his Space Dao compatibility had increased to 92%.

The more she looked...

The more she felt that at this moment, surrounded by the Space Dao, he was so dazzling, radiant enough to eclipse the Great Sun.

"Amazing!"

Wei Qingqing sincerely praised.

Then she turned to Qin Yuyan, smiling: "Domain Master, congratulations."

Qin Yuyan's face also carried a smile.

A 98% Space compatibility, now breaking through has more than a 50% chance.

And he's just over two hundred years old, incredibly young, his spirit at its most active stage, able to gain sudden enlightenment at any moment, advancing his cultivation realm further.

With his talent, achieving 99% Space compatibility is only a matter of time.

And when having 99% Space Dao compatibility using the Divine Union Cultivation method to break through, it will be a natural progression.

In the future, the Qin family will almost certainly have an Honorable Daoist added.

And this Honorable Daoist has the potential to become an Immortal Venerable.

In this situation, Wei Qingqing congratulating her was natural.

"I didn't expect, this Gu Changqing to have such outstanding talent, no wonder the Family Head personally went to the Hidden Dragon Star Domain to meet him, the Family Head's ability to recognize talent is indeed extraordinary."

Qin Yuyan said.

Wei Qingqing previously said Gu Jinlai's talent was comparable to hers, on par with a direct disciple of an Immortal Venerable.

But she knew very well inside, just based on Gu Jinlai's current performance, even she, in terms of talent, was inferior to him by a bit.

To achieve such accomplishments in just over two hundred years of cultivation, if this news spreads, Immortal Venerables will scramble to take him as a disciple.

"Master is in seclusion, but will emerge in a few hundred years at most. Once he comes out, and we inform him of this news, with over two hundred years of cultivation, Space Dao compatibility of 98%, and possessing the tenth-rank Divine Sense ability of a supreme prodigy... without surprise, shortly, I'll have a new junior disciple."

Qin Yuyan thought, smiling faintly.

The gaze she directed at Gu Jinlai became even more affectionate.

As time progressed, the ripples of Space Dao around Gu Jinlai finally began to calm down.

This signaled the end of his cultivation.

Even Qin Wuji at this point did not hope for Gu Jinlai's Space Dao compatibility to improve any further.

Ninety-eight percent was already astonishing.

And ninety-nine percent...

This would be beyond their comprehension.

Even associating it with demon, genius does not suffice.

It is a downright monster.

Sufficient for others to doubt, even fear his very existence.

After a moment, Gu Jinlai slowly restrained all of his fluctuations.

As he turned his gaze back to everyone in the Qin family, the first thing he saw was Qin Wuji's wide, unfettered smile, and the sparkling eyes filled with envy from Qin Zhengfang and Qin Yiren.

Seeing that even Qin Yuyan, the Domain Master of Yanhuang Star Domain, had arrived, Gu Jinlai was somewhat surprised but still cupped his hands: "Domain Master, greetings."

"No need for formalities."

Qin Yuyan smiled slightly: "I've heard of your name, and I understand your talent. Now it seems everyone has underestimated you."

"You're too kind."

"No, I have always insisted on being practical."

Qin Yuyan observed Gu Jinlai, "After a century in closed-door cultivation, you've raised your Space Dao Compatibility from sixty-two percent to ninety-two percent. With a single Yun Kun, it soared directly to ninety-eight percent, standing right at the threshold of Immortal Golden Immortal. Truly, when you surprise, it is a shock indeed."

"You may all know that I come from a peripheral star domain, having never refined top resources. With the Qin family's assistance, every resource was provided abundantly, which allowed me to achieve a notable outcome in one closed-door session, raising the Space Dao Compatibility to ninety-two percent."

Gu Jinlai spoke, casting a glance at the innate deity he contracted: "Likewise, such as Yun Kun, an innate deity nearing Gold Immortal... it is the first time I've ever seen one. Especially being able to contract such an innate deity, the excitement and joy within my heart were overwhelming, so increasing the Space Dao Compatibility to ninety-eight percent is quite reasonable."

"Indeed, what you say makes sense."

Qin Yuyan nodded slightly.

"Excitement and joy are good."

Wei Qingqing also smiled and said, "As time passes, our spirits find it increasingly difficult to ripple, gradually turning into stagnant water. Experiencing such emotional surges and bursts of inspiration becomes increasingly challenging."

"Never having refined top resources or even seen an innate deity... Changqing, it must have been tough for you."

Qin Wuji expressed his sentiment with a face full of sighs.

As for Qin Zhengfang, although he felt there was some sense in what Gu Jinlai said, he couldn't shake the feeling that something seemed off.

Yet he couldn't quite pinpoint what felt wrong.

At this moment, Qin Yuyan seemed to sense something.

There were still Gold Immortals arriving, wanting to probe the area.

So, she didn't bother explaining to those Gold Immortals stationed in the Yuntun Realm, waving her hand, and the stars shifted.

The surroundings blurred, accompanied by shooting lights.

Everyone was already in a massive palace.

This was the power of the Flowing Light Path.

Qin Yuyan, primarily cultivating the Flowing Light Path, with a mere wave, brought everyone to her palace.

A type of space-flying Immortal Artifact.

In the palace, Qin Yuyan straightforwardly asked, "Changqing, do you intend to immediately engage in Divine Union Cultivation with Yiren and aim for immortality?"

At these words, Qin Yiren showed some reluctance in her eyes.

But after glancing at Gu Jinlai, besides the reluctance, there seemed to be an added touch of panic.

Yet she couldn't quite articulate what she was panicking about.

"Let's wait a bit more."

Gu Jinlai said.

Attaining immortality in over two hundred years was too conspicuous.

He felt it better to first raise his Spirit Level a bit, to the Twelfth Rank, preferably the Thirteenth Rank, and then cultivate the Destruction Dao and Devouring Dao to ninety-nine percent. Subsequently, achieve Cultivation Perfection in all three Daos at once, entering the Immortal Domain.

More precisely, stepping into the Immortal Venerable Domain.

By then, even if someone suspected something unusual about him, thinking it related to an Evil God, with Immortal Venerable Level strength, no one would dare make excessive demands.

Provoking an Immortal Venerable and having a falling out—such consequences were not something any force could easily bear.

"Good, in that case, let's wait. With your talent, we'll prepare some opportunities for you. Within a millennium at most, you can elevate your Space Dao Compatibility to ninety-nine percent, and at that time, breaking through with Divine Union Cultivation will be foolproof."

Qin Yuyan said.

Although her seniority and cultivation time did not match Qin Daosheng or Qin Yuanzhen, her identity and status surpassed theirs. In addition, as a Sealed Border Official governing a region, her words sufficiently represented the Qin family's will.

"Since you're not planning an immediate push towards Immortal Golden Immortal, I have a suggestion for you that you might want to consider."

"Please go ahead."

Gu Jinlai cupped his hands.

"The New Fire Star Sea, dominated by the Fire Cloud Palace, Light Council, and Void Sword Sect—three overlord-level forces. Although the presence of the Evil God, the Heart of the Cosmic, poses a mutual adversary, causing the three sides to exercise restraint and avoid large-scale clashes, some covert conflicts have never ceased."

Qin Yuyan said, looking at Gu Jinlai, "With over two hundred years of cultivation... if your Space Dao Compatibility were only ninety-four, ninety-five, or even ninety-six percent, it'd be fine. But a ninety-eight percent compatibility... it may tempt other forces with thoughts they shouldn't have."

She was speaking the truth.

Before Gu Jinlai formally apprentices under Emperor Yan and gains such a significant backing, it is wise not to be too high-profile.

Otherwise...

Being an outstanding talent inevitably attracts jealousy.

She feared someone from the Light Council or Void Sword Sect might come to poach him.

With the talent Gu Jinlai displayed, getting seized as a direct disciple by an Immortal Venerable wasn't an empty threat.

The agreement Gu Jinlai signed with the Qin family was merely a sponsorship one. Furthermore, the requirement is to choose an outstanding Qin family female to engage in Divine Union Cultivation, yet it doesn't exclude the possibility of being apprenticed.

If he really wished to apprentice under an Immortal Venerable from the Light Council or Void Sword Sect, the Qin family couldn't stop him.

While she was helpless with her master's untimely closed-door training, considering Gu Jinlai's safety, she planned to advise him to keep a low profile.

Gu Jinlai quickly deduced Qin Yuyan's intention.

Moreover, Qin Yuyan's suggestion aligned with his own thoughts.

Immediately, he nodded understandingly: "I understand, from now on, I will proceed cautiously and won't disclose my Dao compatibility progress to anyone."

"Good."

Seeing Gu Jinlai grasping her meaning, Qin Yuyan smiled warmly, and her demeanor toward Gu Jinlai became even gentler: "Rest assured, the assistance promised by our Qin family will be provided without neglect, and it won't hinder your cultivation. If you have any extra requests, feel free to speak up."
