Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal

Chapter 788: Undercurrents (Part 3)



He also knew that saying all this now is of no significance.

What he needed to do was quickly make amends and compensate for the enormous loss to the Li Family in other ways.

At this moment, he said coldly: "You have two choices. One, before the next cultivation cycle, Dong Bolai must sign an agreement with our Li Family. The other is to find Gu Jinlai and make amends quickly! No matter what method you use, you must establish a connection between him and our Li Family."

After speaking, Li Shaoyan abruptly ended the communication.

"Patriarch..."

Li Feiyu felt a chill in Li Shaoyan's tone, unable to suppress a slight tremble in her form.

The next cultivation cycle is only a little over thirty years away for Dong Bolai.

Time is exceedingly urgent.

As for finding Gu Jinlai...

Perhaps due to some sense of pride, she directly ruled out this option.

...

When Gu Jinlai began to show his prowess.

In the Yanhuang Star Domain, there was a resting place fashioned after the "Purple Luo Heaven" style, named "Taihua Heaven".

Qin Yiren was quietly waiting in front of a scenery set up like a sea cliff.

At this time, what seemed like the sound of footsteps came from behind her.

A man, dressed in a robe and not handsome, yet carrying a trace of unyielding and stubborn temperament, slowly approached.

"Yiren, are you alright?"

The man gently inquired.

Qin Yiren's body trembled slightly.

Wan Wuya.

She turned around and looked at this man.

Perhaps due to a lack of communication for a long time or thousands of years apart, he seemed somewhat unfamiliar.

"I heard about you and Gu Changqing. I know you were forced. I won't blame you."

Wan Wuya had deep emotion in his eyes.

Qin Yiren opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

But she didn't know where to start.

Moreover, even she could not quite understand herself. Upon seeing him, she unexpectedly did not feel too excited.

"Don't worry, over these years, I have been diligently cultivating, striving upward in the Military Department. Now, I not only preside over one realm but have also reached the rank of First-Class Moonlight! Three thousand years! Give me another three thousand years, and I might even promote my rank to Third-Class Sunshine!"

Wan Wuya said: "The Sunshine Rank is often only available to Immortal Golden Immortals. At that time, the Family Head will certainly change their view of me."

"Three thousand years?"

Qin Yiren thought about Gu Jinlai's true Space Dao compatibility...

If not for his need for stability, and the fact that she was still somewhat lacking, the two of them would have already begun Divine Union Cultivation, retreating to impact the Immortal Realm.

"I'm afraid I can't wait for three thousand years."

"Is it because of Gu Jinlai?"

Wan Wuya said solemnly: "There is a saying that every Golden Immortal from the Outer Domain goes through such a phase when first arriving at various areas of the Heart of the Cosmic. Gu Jinlai is in this stage now. However, this burst exhausts previous accumulations; once depleted, his subsequent cultivation will naturally slow down."

With full confidence, he predicted: "Trust me, Space Dao is inherently difficult to cultivate, and the deeper you go, the harder it gets. I estimate it will take him at least a thousand years to raise his Space Dao compatibility to 97%. To initially impact the 98% needed for the Immortal Realm would take at least three thousand years. If he encounters any bottlenecks, he might still be hovering around 96% or 97% even after ten thousand years."

Qin Yiren looked at Wan Wuya's earnest demeanor.

After a moment of silence, she said: "You don't understand."

"I know you're feeling very wronged right now, but... the heavens assign great hardships to those entrusted with great responsibilities, first to toughen their will, strain their sinews, and starve their flesh; I believe all this is a test from heaven. A Treasure Sword sharpens through honing, just as plum blossoms thrive in bitter cold; endure a little longer, and my Great Dao compatibility will soon reach 97%, at most ten thousand years to climb to 98%, by then we..."

Wan Wuya stepped forward sincerely, seemingly trying to grasp Qin Yiren's hand.

But Qin Yiren instinctively dodged.

"Yiren?"

"Until you gain recognition from our Qin family, you mustn't come too close to me, otherwise it will only harm you and ruin your future."

Qin Yiren said.

Wan Wuya's extended hand hesitated in the air for a moment, finally dropping down powerlessly.

He took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I understand, rest assured, I won't put you in a difficult situation. I will strive to showcase my abilities and potential, proving to the Family Head and others that I, Wan Wuya, am in no way inferior to Gu Jinlai!"

"Then... hurry..."

Qin Yiren turned around: "I'm leaving first."

...

Cold Moon Star Domain.

At this moment, the Domain Master of this star domain, Yu Hui, was reviewing a plan document.

As a result of the Cold Moon Star Domain's excellent performance in the Chi Tianyuan incident, its abilities were recognized by the three major forces, and Yu Hui was tasked to enhance the defense line of the Cold Moon Star Domain.

This defense line was massive in scale, involving over a thousand small-world fortresses. In other words, this was a project involving thousands of Immortal-level artifacts.

Of course, the numbers couldn't be calculated just like that.

Building a small world in the New Fire Star Sea wouldn't require smashing in three thousand artifacts like Gu Jinlai, but the total investment in the project, converted into the unit of Immortal-level artifacts, still exceeded a thousand pieces.

A major project involving a thousand Immortal-level artifacts; even misappropriating one percent would be equivalent to ten Immortal-level artifacts.

Therefore, choosing which force to collaborate with to perfect this defense line construction became crucial.

At this time, from outside came the voice of a family descendant, Yu Wei: "Patriarch, Reverse Flow Army Leader, and Army Commander Ming Zun have arrived."
