Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal

Yanhuang Star Domain, Domain Master Mansion.

Inside a palace, Wei Qingqing, Qin Wuji, and Qin Yiren were all present.

Qin Zhengfang, however, seemed to have encountered what is called a true genius and was deeply impacted, leading to his seclusion.

As for assisting Gu Jinlai in hunting Demigods, the responsibility was fully entrusted to Wei Qingqing by Qin Yuyan.

At this moment, this Honorable Daoist was already standing within a realm of light and shadow, encompassing a total of ten thousand and eight hundred worlds in the Yanhuang Star Domain.

Each world emitted faint starlight, with varying brightness levels, and aside from the area where the Domain Master Mansion was located, there were seven notably bright regions.

Those seven places were exactly where the three major sects and the Four Great Families of the Yanhuang Star Domain resided.

Each beam of light could radiate to dozens of adjacent worlds, with the Sky Splitting Sect, the brightest, radiating over three hundred worlds.

Gu Jinlai was no longer the Cultivator who had just arrived at the New Fire Star Sea, and he could naturally tell that those places covered in light meant that these worlds were, to this day, not under the control of Domain Master Qin Yuyan.

As he surveyed the various worlds, Wei Qingqing's introduction echoed in his ears: "According to our investigations during this period, there are a total of thirteen areas suspected of church activity. Among these thirteen, two are of considerable scale, potentially nurturing the soil for birthing Divine Spirits. The Domain Master has already ordered the Yanhuang Army's Military Commander to conquer them. You should start your Demigod training from here."

"Primordial Light Realm."

Gu Jinlai glanced over, nodding in satisfaction.

Having the Yanhuang Star Domain Master search for Divine Spirits on his behalf was indeed far more reliable than him attempting to snatch tasks at the Honorable Daoist Mansion.

"There's no time to lose; we should set off immediately."

He immediately said.

"Alright."

Wei Qingqing nodded slightly: "For the purpose of training, I will not accompany you, but I have assembled a small team composed of fourteen Golden Immortals, with Wuji as the leader..."

"No."

Gu Jinlai quickly waved his hand: "Since it's training, what use is it if I'm always surrounded by the protection of many Golden Immortals? I can go alone."

"Unacceptable."

Wei Qingqing and Qin Wuji almost simultaneously objected.

After the two exchanged glances, Wei Qingqing was the first to speak: "The Domain Master has been in the Yanhuang Star Domain for only a short time and cannot monitor every corner of the Star Domain. Given the vastness of this Star Domain, who knows what dangers lurk within? If no one accompanies you, should you face peril, it might be too late to call for help."

Qin Wuji also nodded: "Even though you haven't entered the Inner Mansion of the Honorable Daoist Mansion, you're already ranked first on the candidate list and have caught the eye of foreign races. If you encounter them while adventuring, you might be directly taken away."

"The foreign races wouldn't even look at me; it's the Immortal Venerable's direct disciples they are after."

Gu Jinlai remarked.

Qin Wuji evidently was overwhelmed by concern.

The Heart of the Cosmic is divided into the Six Realms, Four Seas, and Eight Desolates, not only to defend against the eighteen most powerful Evil Gods but also due to the presence of various ethnic groups.

Many ethnic groups are like water and fire, fundamentally incapable of existing in the same Star Domain.

Like the Innate Sacred, Star Spirits, Alien Demons, Mechanical People, and so on.

Conflicts between these groups have never ceased.

Even though the threat of Evil Gods maintains a certain restraint at the higher levels, this restraint is only applicable to the Immortal Venerable level.

Below that, let alone Golden Immortals, even the Immortal could face the risk of falling in certain Treasure disputes.

Otherwise, why would it be that those who are deemed Immortal Golden Immortals are so rarely truly immortal and everlasting?

"It's never wrong to be cautious. Even though you aren't an Immortal Venerable's direct disciple, I believe your talent surpasses theirs. You're not yet fully developed, so why place yourself in danger?"

Qin Wuji implored earnestly.

"The foreign races don't know about my talent."

"But..."

"Everyone has their own path; flowers in a greenhouse can never grow strong, only by facing the storm can one roam freely in the vast world."

Gu Jinlai stated: "With the intelligence provided by you all and while training within the Yanhuang Star Domain, my cultivation is already at the peak of a Supreme Golden Immortal. Coupled with several Immortal Immortal Instruments, if even under these circumstances I need a large team to accompany me to hunt Demigods, how can I speak of aspiring to immortality, let alone advancing further, merging with the Great Dao, to achieve being an Immortal Venerable?"

Qin Wuji and Wei Qingqing noticed that Gu Jinlai was resolute.

Eventually, Qin Wuji had to compromise: "Fine, however, you will inevitably become fatigued when battling Demigods, requiring someone to act as a protector, plus operating the Star Shuttle along the way requires help, so let Yiren accompany you."

Upon finishing, he said solemnly: "Just Yiren alone; you can't refuse any further."

Gu Jinlai glanced at Qin Yiren, understanding that this was likely the Qin family's bottom line.

Accepting the support of a great clan undoubtedly bypasses many troubles but comes with its supervision.

Like a private company accepting external investment, you can expand greatly, but expenditure will be monitored by them.

"Very well then."

Gu Jinlai nodded: "There's no time to lose; we should set off promptly, for twenty years is no time to waste."

With that, Gu Jinlai and Qin Yiren broke through the sky, heading straight for the Primordial Light Realm.

...

Primordial Light Realm.

This world was not small in size, but because it was situated in the heartland of the Yanhuang Star Domain, there weren't too many powerful beings present, with only six Golden Immortals stationed.

Gu Jinlai received the position of Inspector from Qin Yuyan, but he did not alarm the six Golden Immortals of the Primordial Light Realm; instead, he went straight to the area frequented by the Church.

This scene left Qin Yiren somewhat puzzled.

"Without the cooperation of the local Realm Lord, I'm afraid we won't be able to smoothly bring out the demigod hiding in this world."

Qin Yiren said.

"No worries, I have my own method."

Gu Jinlai said, glancing in one direction: "Moreover, the fact that the Primordial Light Realm Lord allows the Church force to develop in this world might make him untrustworthy."

"You mean…"

Qin Yiren furrowed her delicate eyebrows.

But then, her eyes already revealed a cold light: "He is acting in betrayal of the Elders! He deserves to die!"

"Executing a Golden Immortal based solely on speculation without evidence seems unreasonable, after all, those who can ascend to the position of Realm Lord are either capable or have strong backing. If things escalate, even the Domain Master would find it embarrassing."

Gu Jinlai said: "However, as long as we can find that demigod, the Primordial Light Realm Lord will inevitably be culpable."

Qin Yiren nodded slightly, looking at him: "Then how do you plan to find? Divine Spirits always act mysteriously, rooting them out is more difficult than finding an alien race infiltrator."

"I have already said, I have a method."

Gu Jinlai smiled slightly, looking at a city below, and at several landmark buildings in the city center, and said: "You stay outside the city and stand by."

Qin Yiren glanced at the city.

In a world like the Primordial Light Realm, which is not a frontline world, not only are Golden Immortals scarce, but there are also few experts.

For example, in the Primordial Light Realm, the layout is divided into Six Continents, with six Golden Immortals each stationing one continent. Among them, the Primordial Light Golden Immortal serves as both the Realm Lord and the State Governor of the Central State. The remaining City Lords usually only have the Profound Immortal Realm.

Although the city ahead is quite large, the number of Profound Immortals combined is less than a hundred, so Gu Jinlai entering it poses no danger.

"Be careful."

Qin Yiren advised: "I will maintain the Star Shuttle's transit state at all times. If there's danger, retreat to the Star Shuttle immediately, and we will break through the sky and leave."

"Alright."

Gu Jinlai responded, taking a step into the void, heading towards the city.

The powerful Divine Sense Ability and spatial fluctuations circulated around him, making him undetectable to outsiders, whether through perception or sight.

Even Qin Yiren watched as Gu Jinlai's figure vanished from sight.

"Changqing's technique…"

Qin Yiren was slightly startled.

If this technique were used for killing, even Golden Immortals like her might not know how they died.

But in a moment, she also understood something.

"After all, he is a cultivator who emerged from the hardships outside the domain. To become a Golden Immortal, he must have experienced countless storms, far from being as weak as we imagined. It's just that he usually handles things with purpose and politeness, giving me the illusion that he might be somewhat timid, when in fact, it's a sign of maturity—quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit."

Qin Yiren murmured to herself.

…

Below, as Gu Jinlai entered the city, he was unaware of Qin Yiren's thoughts.

This city, said to be a city, is actually extremely vast, and should be called a large residential area.

It spans ten thousand miles in circumference.

The buildings within are varied and strange—there are skyscrapers and steel jungles with a science fiction style, antique and quaint loft courtyards with bluestone steps, cave treehouses perfectly integrated with the natural environment, and even some buildings wrapped in glowing spheres in the depths of lakes for people to live in.

Gu Jinlai took a quick glance, and his gaze fell on an elder studying materials in his courtyard.

In the Heart of the Cosmic, apart from special life forms, more than half follow the mechanic route.

The elder in front of him, who appears to be a bishop, is no exception, appearing on the surface as a Level 5 mechanic.

Without saying much, he directly used the Void Projection Technique to descend upon the elder.

At the moment of descent, the elder, who was reviewing electronic books, already had a feeling. A look of joy appeared on his face: "My Lord…"

But in the next second, he sensed something, and his expression changed: "Alien God!?"

In an instant, a massive Divine Will converged, crushing towards Gu Jinlai like a tsunami.

If it were anyone else, even those whose Spiritual Realm had entered the Golden Immortal domain would be crushed to pieces by this landslide-like Divine Will, severely injured.

But Gu Jinlai's Spirit Level far surpassed that of a Golden Immortal, climbing to the Eleventh Rank.

This level of Spiritual Realm is considered excellent even among the Immortal Dao Venerables.

The landslide-like will struck his mind, which had been tempered by the Three Thousand Great Dao, without moving at all, but was instead shattered by Gu Jinlai as he advanced.

Seemingly realizing that the visitor was fierce.

When his Divine Will was shattered, the demigod hiding behind made a quick decision, annihilated the elder's consciousness, severed the link between them, and quickly dissipated.

However, just as his Divine Will dissipated, Gu Jinlai's Divine Sense Ability had already swiftly spread through the Void Projection Technique, and in an instant…

"I found you."
