Chapter 788: Undercurrents
Purple Luo Heaven.
A group of people were resting here as usual.
With some personal space now, Qin Daosheng scrutinized Gu Jinlai more closely.
After a while, he couldn't help but laugh: "You've truly given me a massive surprise. I'm now thinking, if you contract an Innate Sacred beast again, would your Space Dao Compatibility leap straight to ninety-nine percent?"
"The reason contracting Yun Kun greatly increased my Space Dao Compatibility wasn't just my first contract with an Innate Sacred beast; the most crucial factor was entering into a state of sudden enlightenment. Such experiences are rare and uncertain, and I'm not very confident about doing it again."
Gu Jinlai replied humbly.
He spoke the truth.
The Space Dao Compatibility in Chi Tianyuan seemed to be at this level.
From now on, he really relied on himself.
However, his response somewhat relieved Qin Daosheng.
A disciple being too talented could make a mentor feel unaccomplished.
And if their Qin family supported Gu Jinlai, yet he achieved immortality without much effort from them, naturally, the bond between them wouldn't be deep in so short a time.
Thus, Gu Jinlai would need a pause of one or two thousand years before stepping to the threshold of the Immortal Realm, which instead made Qin feel relaxed.
"There are only twenty-four years left before the Inner Mansion Honorable Daoist examination. During these twenty-four years, adjust your state well. Although entering the Inner Mansion is almost certain for you, the Honorable Daoist Mansion has rules; the examination still needs to be performed. To prevent any unexpected issues, you best stay vigilant."
Qin Daosheng advised.
"I understand, over these twenty-four years, I'll seek out demigods to hone myself, focusing on adapting to the changes from the increase in Space Dao Compatibility."
Gu Jinlai said.
Qin Daosheng presented a document: "These are the top five candidates in the Space Dao Inner Mansion Honorable Daoist ranking, glance over it briefly. However, primarily focus on the Inner Mansion Honorable Daoist Yan Lie... After all, not every Inner Mansion Honorable Daoist is willing to relinquish their position, even when they clearly have no further progress, yet refuse to leave..."
Gu Jinlai glanced over Yan Lie's data, his expression slightly surprised: "The Star Spirit Clan?"
"Yes."
Qin Daosheng nodded: "A lifeform born from the consciousness of a constant star."
Speaking, he paused: "Although the New Fire Star Sea mainly belongs to our Human Clan territory, the Honorable Daoist Mansion is open to all species. Because our humans' innate talent doesn't hold significant advantages, some inherently strong beings from their star domains often can't obtain Inner Mansion Honorable Daoist positions, hence come into our human domains."
Gu Jinlai understood the reason why Qin Daosheng could convince Qi Yunsheng to open doors for him.
"No delay needed, let's rest a while and proceed directly to the Yanhuang Star Domain."
Gu Jinlai said.
Qin Daosheng did not oppose.
With Gu Jinlai's prowess, mere demigods could only serve to hone his cultivation, posing no danger.
Moreover, even if he unintentionally attracted the attention of a Divine Spirit, with a tenth-rank Divine Sense, enduring till Wei Qingqing or Qin Yuyan's support in the Yanhuang Star Domain would not be an issue.
...
The Honorable Daoist Mansion is the absolute core of the Hidden Dragon Star Domain.
Because of the Honorable Daoist Mansion, the entire Hidden Dragon Star Domain became prosperous.
Under such circumstances, any slight change in the Honorable Daoist Mansion is immediately detectable by forces in the Hidden Dragon Star Domain.
Space Avenue, one of the top five Daos, is a priority of public interest.
The change in the top candidate on the Inner Mansion list quickly became news to all Immortal Forces.
Along with it came Gu Jinlai's related information.
Not excluding the Li Family, a prominent clan in the Hidden Dragon Star Domain.
...
At this time, in Purple Luo Heaven, under Dong Bolai's request, Li Feiyu hired Yun Xiu, Fei Hong, and Cai Xia at great expense for dancing and singing.
Watching Dong Bolai, surrounded by singing and dancing, sipping each mouthful of the precious Purple Luo Flower Tea, Li Feiyu's heart felt uneasy, but Dong Bolai stated, it's for cultivation.
To clear the dust that clouds the spirit.
With this reason, although somewhat dissatisfied, Li Feiyu could only stand aside.
"Come on, Xiaoyu, don't just sit there, in this rare leisure, let's enjoy this drink fully."
Noticing Li Feiyu's gloomy mood, Dong Bolai smiled, instructing maids to offer him wine and tea.
"Bolai, with the Flowing Light Path Inner Mansion Daoist cycle up in thirty-two years, do you think about applying to the Pavilion Master for the Inner Mansion examination?"
Li Feiyu asked.
"No rush, currently I'm in a critical phase of cultivating an Immortal Technique, and this technique is only a flash of inspiration away. Once I stimulate inspiration, I'll advance significantly in strength, making my entry into the Inner Mansion a sure thing."
Dong Bolai replied with a smile.
Then, his gaze lingered momentarily on Yun Xiu, turning to Li Feiyu: "I observe, Xiaoyu, that your temperament is quite akin to Yun Xiu's. Since Yun Xiu is present, why not ask for guidance and perform a dance as well? With your figure, blending sword dance would surely be a delight to the eyes..."
"Me? Perform a sword dance like Yun Xiu and the others?"
Li Feiyu frowned, noticeably displeased in his tone.
"What's the harm in that?"
Dong Bolai laughed casually: "It's just sword dancing. When gathering with friends, everyone often showcases their skills to enrich the atmosphere—Xiaoyu, you're just too restrained. Next time, join us in a gathering and see how we Golden Immortal Daoists really let loose, triggering inspiration, moving our Dao compatibility further forward."
