Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal

"Formless Pearl."

In the starship lounge.

Gu Jinlai lightly gesture, this Immortal Immortal Instrument was directly activated, ripples enveloped him, blurring all fluctuations emanating from his body.

After doing this, he turned his gaze to the light cluster representing the Galaxy Map beside Qing Lian.

"Over this century, I have reviewed a vast amount of cultivation insights related to the Heart-Path, gaining many new understandings, coupled with the complete version of the Galaxy Map..."

He glanced at those Qingguang: "It should be about right."

In an instant, beams of Qingguang poured into the Galaxy Map without any reservation.

Beneath Qingguang, his divine sense seemed to detach itself from his body, traversing countless times and spaces, reaching into the depths of the Heart of the Cosmic.

With the experience from last time, Gu Jinlai was not lost within.

Instead, he followed the guidance of that mysterious resonance, immersing himself in the Three Thousand Great Dao scattering from the Heart of the Cosmic, continuously using his divine sense to stir the Three Thousand Great Dao, honing its tenacity and sensitivity.

This state lasted for an unknown length of time, gradually, Gu Jinlai felt his divine sense growing stronger, more tenacious and powerful.

When this tenacity and power reached a certain limit, suddenly...

His Divine Sense Ability seemed to forcibly penetrate from the Power of Dao, already able to shake the Great Dao!

This frontal collision-induced impact made Gu Jinlai abruptly awaken from this immersive state.

"Relying solely on divine sense, forcibly suppressing the operation of the Great Dao! This is... Eleventh Rank!"

Gu Jinlai understood in his heart.

Eleventh Rank divine sense often corresponds to an Immortal Dao Venerable of cultivation at Hundred Epochs.

The reason why such Dao Venerables are powerful, besides having cultivated numerous powerful immortal techniques over long periods of time, is the strong Divine Sense Ability suppressing the Great Dao.

Those Golden Immortals with Great Dao compatibility degree above sixty percent could barely compete, but if it's those below sixty percent, facing an Eleventh-Rank divine sense they can't even invoke the power of Dao, how could they stand against an Immortal Dao Venerable?

The fluctuation of thoughts slowly awoke Gu Jinlai from this immersive state.

He glanced at Qingguang...

Over six thousand beams remained.

Calculating this, he used thirty thousand beams, equivalent to others' speed over thirty hundred thousand years, elevating his divine sense to Eleventh Rank.

This speed...

Is slow.

Barely three times faster than an average Immortal Golden Immortal.

Of course, each one who can become an Immortal Golden Immortal is a top genius, and may be the focus of any force's training in Firewood Star Sea, even the entire Heart of the Cosmic.

The best example is Qin Zhengfang.

He is the epitome of future Immortal Golden Immortals, though he will be just the most standard, ordinary immortal once achieved immortality.

But even so, with his current displayed talent, entering the Inner Mansion of Honorable Daoist Mansion is very easy, going further, joining the overlord-level faction, Fire Cloud Palace, becoming one of its true inheritors.

He may fast way surpassed Immortal Golden Immortals by three times in Heart-Path talent, already surpassing Qin Zhengfang, Qin Yiren, including Wan Wuya and Dong Bolai.

Not inferior to the direct disciples of Immortal Venerables.

The entire Blue Star with merely ten billion people having such a supreme talent, is already astounding.

It's known that even the Profound Immortal Realm, which is stronger than Longevity World, only birthed a few Golden Immortals like Xuanyuan Sword Ancestor.

And as the principal realm of Xuanhuang Star Domain, Xuanhuang Realm, with a legacy spanning over a million years, only birthed one Immortal, Zhou Huang.

Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns?

They were not native cultivators of Xuanhuang Realm.

They merely passed by this world, found some potential within it, and left their Daoist traditions.

"Divine Sense Talent reaching this degree, it's not bad."

Gu Jinlai remarked.

At least, his talent for solidifying the path of Dao is much higher.

"Heart's Strength Stepping to Eleventh Rank, next is hunting Divine Spirits without worries, having the Fantian Ring, and staying relatively safe within the Yanhuang Star Domain controlled by the Qin family..."

Gu Jinlai smiled slightly.

Already eager to move.

He glanced at the remaining six thousand beams of Qingguang...

Next is Twelfth Rank divine sense.

"According to the accumulated experience of Immortal Golden Immortals, elevating from Eleventh Rank divine sense to Twelfth Rank is not particularly large, packing enough power grinding Nine-Deghree Great Dao Golden Immortals to suppression, yet... takes a long million years span, exchange to me still costs three hundred thousand years, which is thirty thousand Qingguang beams..."

Gu Jinlai contemplated.

If his guessing is correct, even Qin Yuyan, as the Domain Master, has yet to elevate her divine sense into Twelfth Rank.

She merely achieved cultivation as per the Thousand Epoch standard.

"Six thousand, thirty thousand, a drop in the bucket, since so..."

Gu Jinlai's gaze fell on the Destruction Mixed Hole Sword Qi cultivation technique.

If the Devouring Dao could stay ahead, his Lifebound Immortal Skill Destruction Mixed Hole Sword Qi would increase in power too, then as possessing Mahayana Level Supreme Immortal Skill, not relying on the Immortal Immortal Instrument, he could unleash Supreme Golden Immortal battle power.

Additionally supported by two Immortal Immortal Instruments, in terms of offense and superiority, Supreme Golden Immortals would be eclipsed.

"Compared to Destruction Mixed Hole Sword Qi, the Particle Sword Intent with space trait has greater power, but ultimately not Lifebound Immortal Skill, still requiring time for comprehension."

With such thinking, six thousand beams of Qingguang smashed onto the Destruction Mixed Hole cultivation technique.

Instantly, he seemingly transformed into a real black hole, eternally suspended in the boundless starry sky, devouring all the light in the world.

During the time of "transforming into a black hole", his Devouring Dao pace merely at four-degrees compatibility, began climbing rapidly!

Five-degree! Six-degree! Seven-degree!

Ultimately...

Stopped at seventy-three percent.

Gu Jinlai perceived briefly, and couldn't help but feel speechless.

"Is my talent in Great Dao compatibility this poor?"

Six thousand Qingguang, equivalent to sixty thousand years.

A Golden Immortal's half-lifetime.

The result...

Only increased his Devouring Dao compatibility from forty percent to seventy-three percent.

"From this calculation, if not for Qingguang, I wouldn't have been able to cultivate into a Great Dao Golden Immortal in this lifetime."

Gu Jinlai perceived for a moment, but quickly shook his head: "Not necessarily. At least my Spiritual Talent is very high. If I can be born into a top family like the Qin family and receive top-notch spiritual inheritance from a young age, I can elevate my Spiritual Realm to the equivalent of Golden Immortal's First Rank, even Second Rank or Third Rank, then rely on my spiritual advantage, forcibly fuse with the Great Dao, and step into the realm of Great Dao Golden Immortal."

Of course, this precondition is that he must be born into a large family like the Qin family.

At the very least, he has to belong to a power at the level of Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty or Ziliu Mountain, and have a Cultivation Technique that specializes in spirit.

If born in the prior Longevity World...

Even cultivating into Devas would be a big issue.

"To elevate the Devouring Dao to ninety percent, it would probably require three or four thousand Qingguang. To improve to ninety-nine percent would need to spend at least ten or twenty thousand..."

If the Devouring Dao hadn't belonged to one of the Great Daos not yet degraded by the Evil God, he would have planned to abandon wasting time on the Devouring Dao altogether.

After a while, Gu Jinlai calmed down to adapt to the changes brought by the Devouring Dao.

As time flowed, months later, the starship passed through the Space Tunnel, reaching the station.

At this point, Gu Jinlai also received information from Qin Daosheng, forcing him to abandon the plan to hunt Divine Spirits in the Yanhuang Star Domain and instead navigate to the Hidden Dragon Star Domain where the Honorable Daoist Mansion is located.

...

When Gu Jinlai headed to Longevity World, the Qin family quickly started operating for his benefit.

The Inner Mansion Honorable Daoist of the Space Avenue at the Honorable Daoist Mansion has thirty years left in his cultivation cycle.

Without any exceptionally talented figures emerging on the Outer Mansion candidate list, the competition mechanism for the Inner Mansion Honorable Daoist wouldn't be triggered at all.

In this case, the Qin Family Patriarch, Qin Daosheng, personally intervened and approached Pavilion Master Qi Yunsheng of the Honorable Daoist Mansion to make arrangements.

However, the Honorable Daoist Mansion was founded by those Great Powers who seal the Heart of the Cosmic, aiming to break the regional Overlord-level forces' monopoly.

Even if they do not engage in local power struggles or interfere in different ethnic grievances, they must maintain fairness and justice when choosing the Inner Mansion Honorable Daoist.

Qin Daosheng's intervention could only allow Qi Yunsheng to give Gu Jinlai an opportunity, but it didn't mean he could directly make him the Inner Mansion Honorable Daoist.

Even...

The prerequisite for giving him an opportunity is that Gu Jinlai exhibits astonishing talent.

Just like now, he must personally evaluate Gu Jinlai before he can arrange him to the top position on the candidate list.

And after twenty-four years, when the cultivation cycle of that Space Avenue Inner Mansion Honorable Daoist ends, only then can he, according to rules, replace that Daoist and enter the Inner Mansion.

Considering the Honorable Daoist Mansion possesses Cultivation Technique inheritance that even the Fire Cloud Palace cannot match, upon receiving the news, Gu Jinlai simply agreed.

...

Inside a grand hall of the Honorable Daoist Mansion.

Qin Wuji immediately brought Gu Jinlai to arrive.

Here, Qin Daosheng, Qi Yunsheng, including Master Luu Qingyi of the New Academy Hall, three Immortal Immortals were already waiting.

The two quickly saluted the Immortals.

Qin Daosheng also smiled and nodded to Gu Jinlai: "Changqing has arrived. Come, show Pavilion Master Yunsheng your Space Dao compatibility."

After speaking, he glanced at Luu Qingyi: "As for his Divine Sense Ability and cultivation age, Master Luu can verify it."

Luu Qingyi smiled: "Counting the time, Lord Gu has actually been cultivating for just two hundred forty years. We calculate units by hundred-year cycles, those less than a hundred years are calculated as a hundred years. In other words, Lord Gu has been cultivating for merely three hundred years. Three hundred years, Tenth Rank Spirit, he possesses three types of Great Dao. If his Space Dao compatibility can still elevate to ninety-six percent, indeed surpasses an ordinary Inner Mansion Honorable Daoist in excellence."

"A promising youth indeed."

Qi Yunsheng also commented, then turned to Gu Jinlai: "No need to be nervous; this verification is the rule of the Honorable Daoist Mansion. Just show your talent."

As someone nearly stepping into immortality, even as Pavilion Master would extend some courtesy.

"Please excuse my inadequacy."

Gu Jinlai said, pointing a hand lightly.

A spatial ripple dispersed from his fingertip.

Seeing this, Qi Yunsheng, Luu Qingyi exchanged glances and nodded: "Indeed, it's ninety-six percent Space compatibility."

"Last time I saw you, your Space Dao compatibility was only over sixty percent. Within mere hundred years, your growth is astonishing."

"Thanks to the Qin Family Master's generous gifts."

Gu Jinlai promptly responded.

He intentionally sought support from a force just for this moment.

"The Qin family..."

Qi Yunsheng glanced at Qin Daosheng, who personally came to handle relations for Gu Jinlai...

The attitude of this Immortal Golden Immortal alone revealed the level of support and significance the Qin family granted Gu Jinlai.

Moreover, he even bonded with the most outstanding female of the Qin family as his Daoist Companion, practicing Divine Union Cultivation, and reportedly went to the Yanhuang Star Domain, receiving generous gifts from the Domain Master there?

It's no wonder within a mere century, Gu Jinlai has grown to this extent.

"Truly generous."

After a while, Qi Yunsheng personally modified Gu Jinlai's records.

"Alright, your information is updated. Congratulations. You are now ranked first on the Space Avenue candidate list. After twenty-four years, I will arrange a test focused on cultivation age according to rules. With your talent, you may directly enter the Inner Mansion."
