Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal

In the space ripple.

A starship was moving at an incredible speed, enveloped by the power of space, traversing forward along the undulating space ripple.

Inside the starship, Lie Tian, who had just come out from the Domain Master Mansion, found Gu Yin and said with a bitter face, "Senior brother, you have to think of a way. The Sky Splitting Sect is Senior Brother Cang Qing's hard work. The three of us are just temporary caretakers. Senior Brother Cang Qing will soon return from serving at the Heart of the Cosmic. If he finds out we lost the Sky Splitting Sect, he definitely won't spare us."

"This matter was personally decided by several Immortal Venerables, and there is no way to change the current situation."

Gu Yin's face also looked slightly unpleasant.

"Then… what should we do, senior brother? This matter was guaranteed by you all. If it weren't for your assurance that nothing could go wrong, our Sky Splitting Sect would never have gotten involved..."

Lie Tian quickly said.

But before he could finish, Gu Yin interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Weren't you also trying to use the Gu Jinlai matter to suppress Qin Yuyan? We simply had a shared interest."

Hearing this, Lie Tian looked somewhat displeased, "But if it weren't for you pushing the matter from behind, we would never have acted so easily, and the situation wouldn't have worsened to this extent."

"What, are you blaming me now? Remember, it was you who consulted Yan Huo as the Divine Spirit!"

Gu Yin's eyes turned cold.

Seeing the situation tense, Xuan Tian quickly said, "Alright, alright, we are all brothers here. If we argue among ourselves, won't we become a laughingstock for the people of Fire Cloud Palace?"

After that, he quickly added, "Actually, when I think carefully now, the issue might not lie with the Yan Huo God King, but rather with Gu Jinlai himself."

"Gu Jinlai?"

Gu Yin turned his gaze towards him.

"Yes, there's one thing we can't deny. Yan Huo is undoubtedly a Divine King. If he really wanted to harm us, he wouldn't use his own life as a betting chip, would he? And Gu Jinlai, no matter how you look at it, is just a Golden Immortal. A Golden Immortal capable of killing a Divine King, claiming to have the strongest survival ability, that seems nearly impossible."

Xuan Tian spoke, looking at the two senior brothers, "Even if Qin Yuyan took action personally, Yan Huo might not win, but it wouldn't be hard for him to survive, right?"

His words made the two calm down again.

After a while, Gu Yin said, "It seems this Gu Jinlai has an immense secret."

"Indeed, Gu Jinlai is a Golden Immortal who cultivates three types of Great Dao simultaneously, yet his Space Dao compatibility can soar to 96% without any obstacle, proving the high quality of the Three-Life Stone he refined back then."

Xuan Tian spoke, his eyes sparkling with a bright light, "And his Three-Life Stone came from a certain opportunity, which suggests that there might be other Supreme Treasures associated with that opportunity! Treasures even more powerful than Immortal Artifacts!"

"More powerful than Immortal Artifacts… could it be..."

Gu Yin's heart was shocked, "Supreme Immortal Artifact!?"

The grade of an Immortal Artifact corresponds in some ways to Immortal Techniques.

Like, beyond Immortal Artifacts, Immortal Venerables often wield Supreme Immortal Artifacts, whereas Great Powers hold Ultimate Immortal Devices.

Supreme Immortal Artifacts inherently contain two or more Great Daos, and both are Perfect Great Daos.

Although these Immortal Artifacts are mostly held by Immortal Venerables, not every Immortal Venerable has a Supreme Immortal Artifact, but...

There are still a very few that have ended up in the hands of Immortal Golden Immortals.

Yet, due to the extreme scarcity of Supreme Immortal Artifacts and Immortal Venerables, it appears far less common than Golden Immortals holding Immortal Artifacts.

As long as the cultivator's Spiritual Realm is sufficient and they master Immortal Techniques corresponding to the Great Dao contained within a Supreme Immortal Artifact, they can unleash supreme Immortal Techniques normally wielded by Immortal Venerables using the body of an Immortal Golden Immortal or even a Golden Immortal.

Just like when Gu Jinlai back then couldn't achieve enough Dao compatibility, he made up for it with an Immortal Artifact.

"Supreme Immortal Artifact… how is this possible!? Gu Jinlai is just a Golden Immortal... not even Immortal!"

Gu Yin found it hard to believe.

"Opportunities have never been determined by one's cultivation."

Xuan Tian said in a deep voice, "Unless he holds a Supreme Immortal Artifact, I cannot understand how he could crush a Divine King's Divine Country and eventually annihilate this Divine King."

"What if he had an Immortal protector?"

Lie Tian too could hardly believe it.

"Protector? Who? Qin Yuyan? Even if it's Qin Yuyan, although Yan Huo this Divine King can't beat, can't he escape?"

After saying this, Xuan Tian continued in a tempting tone, "Maybe you find the Supreme Immortal Artifact unbelievable, but regardless, senior brother Gu wouldn't be interested in the secret and opportunity on his body?"

"You want to kill him?"

Gu Yin said coldly, "Once he's dead, naturally he can't reach the Sky Splitting Sect, which naturally remains under your control... just like how you control the other worlds around the Sky Splitting Sect."

"Senior brother Gu, Gu Jinlai is different from others."

Xuan Tian quickly explained, "I've checked. Qin Yuyan, despite claiming that Gu Jinlai would be accepted as a disciple by the Emperor Yan, ultimately has not entered the Emperor Yan's sect. His actual status is not even as good as the direct inheritor of Fire Cloud Palace. If he dies... at most, we would have offended a Qin family, a Qin Yuyan. Are we afraid of that woman?"

Gu Yin knew that Xuan Tian's remarks were filled with elements of temptation.

The claim regarding the Supreme Immortal Artifact was entirely speculative, without any evidence.

But...

Even without a Supreme Immortal Artifact, there are still several Immortal Artifacts!

The value of Immortal Artifacts is enough for an ordinary Immortal Golden Immortal to risk their life for.

As for Qin Yuyan...

He indeed wasn't afraid.

He wasn't really afraid of the Qin family behind him.

As long as he didn't act brazenly and let Qin Yuyan find evidence, in a situation where everyone was a direct disciple of an Immortal Venerable, convicting him based on suspicion alone?

Who does she think she is?

Besides, as Xuan Tian said, Gu Jinlai ultimately was never truly accepted as a disciple by the Emperor Yan, he doesn't even count as an official disciple of the Fire Cloud Palace, so what if he gets killed?

The only thing he needed to be cautious about now was Gu Jinlai himself.

"That Gu Jinlai could kill Yan Huo, Supreme Immortal Artifact... it's not entirely baseless, dealing with him is not an easy task, and he's been active in the Yanhuang Star Domain, if we can't kill him in a short time, it could alarm Qin Yuyan, and then we might all face life-threatening dangers."

Gu Yin said.

"Fortune favors the bold! To protect my Sky Splitting Sect, how can we not take risks?"

The speaker was Lie Tian.

There was a fierce gleam in his eyes: "Qin Yuyan thinks she's clever, but who knows that when a person is pushed to the edge, they can do anything, let alone us Immortal Golden Immortals!? Anyone who can cultivate to this realm surely has the courage to stake their life?"

After all, the target they were going to 'fight' was only a Golden Immortal.

Even if the opponent holds a Supreme Immortal Artifact, the odds are still greatly in their favor.

"After it's done, if there's a Supreme Immortal Artifact on Gu Jinlai, the Supreme Immortal Artifact goes to Brother Gu, while the Immortal Artifacts on him stay with us, and if Gu Jinlai doesn't have a Supreme Immortal Artifact... we won't take any of his Immortal Artifacts, we'll just go back to our Sky Splitting Sect."

Lie Tian stated heavily.

Gu Yin listened, was silent for a while, and finally nodded slightly.

The New Fire Star Sea was ultimately a world that congregates myriad great powers.

There weren't so many rules and regulations.

Were it not for the common enemies like the Evil God and the Divine Spirit, the area around the Heart of the Cosmic itself would never cease its battles, never find peace.

The higher one is in position, the better they understand this point.

"Strength is truth!"

Gu Yin said in a deep voice: "Gu Jinlai, a mere small Golden Immortal, a Golden Immortal without a true background, what virtue and ability does he have, to hold so many Immortal Artifacts!? Even... possessing the Supreme Immortal Artifact!?"

"Then, shall we act on the route to the Sky Splitting Sect for an interception?"

Lie Tian felt his long-dormant spirit stir slightly.

This agitation was somewhat intoxicating for him.

How long...

Had it been since he felt this?

"Gu Jinlai is traveling with Wei Qingqing, and this Immortal Golden Immortal is tough to deal with, furthermore, on the Sky Splitting Sect's side, Zhou Huang is leading a regular regiment... dealing with these organized regiments is even more troublesome, coupled with Qin Yuyan, and the unknown true power of the Supreme Immortal Artifact Gu Jinlai might have, attacking without full preparation has too high an uncertainty."

Gu Yin said.

"Then your meaning..."

"We cannot act in the Yanhuang Star Domain, and moreover, we need more strength."

Gu Yin said: "This matter involves not just us few Immortal Golden Immortals, but also the Domain Master and Military Leader of the Cold Moon Star Domain, because of them, our situation has become so passive, and when we act, they absolutely cannot stand idly by."

Speaking, he waved his hand heavily: "At least two Immortal Golden Immortals must come forth, and when added to us, that makes six great immortals."

Lie Tian's heart shook: "Six great immortals!?"

"Quite right, we must regard Gu Jinlai as a Hundred Epoch Honorable Daoist in terms of cultivation! To eradicate a Hundred Epoch Honorable Daoist, at least three experts of Hundred Epoch Daoist Masters have to be deployed!"

Gu Yin said, glancing at Xuan Tian.

Among the three great Immortal Golden Immortals of the Sky Splitting Sect, only Lie Tian had Hundred Epoch Cultivation, the remaining Xuan Tian and Zhen Tian, their cultivation was below Hundred Epoch.

"Beside me and you, Lie Tian, at least one Immortal Golden Immortal with Hundred Epoch Cultivation from the Cold Moon Star Domain must be involved, preferably two, to ensure foolproof success."

"With such a lineup..."

Lie Tian took a deep breath: "It's definitely enough."

"When do we act?"

Xuan Tian asked.

"Eradicating an immortal is not an easy task, and if it devolves into a frenzied chase, it will be even more trouble, henceforth, we absolutely cannot set the battlefield within their stronghold."

Gu Yin pointed his hand faintly, opening a star map before them: "As far as I know, in some twenty years or so, Gu Jinlai has to visit the Honorable Daoist Mansion, hoping to become an Inner Mansion Honorable Daoist. The path to the Honorable Daoist Mansion from the Hidden Dragon Star Domain is not short from the Yanhuang Star Domain, we will act on his way to the Honorable Daoist Mansion."

"Honorable Daoist Mansion? With his Golden Immortal achievements and talent in fighting against Divine Spirits, shouldn't he head directly to the Fire Cloud Palace? Why still go to the Honorable Daoist Mansion?"

Lie Tian was somewhat surprised.

"Qin Yuyan hopes that the Immortal Venerable Emperor Yan he acknowledges as a master is still in closed-door training, most likely he will wait until the Emperor exits closed training before heading to the Fire Cloud Palace, and before Emperor Yan exits, it's likely he stays at the Honorable Daoist Mansion, even if he doesn't go there it's fine, based on my investigation, this Gu Jinlai has a force outside the domain, and if he doesn't go to the Honorable Daoist Mansion, we can strike at these subordinate forces, causing them trouble, and force him to make a trip outside the domain before he acknowledges the Emperor as a master."

Xuan Tian said, with a slight smile: "And on his way out of the domain, whatever accidents he encounters, who is to say?"

"Then it's settled, we'll prepare both options, first setting up the road to the Honorable Daoist Mansion, if he doesn't head there, then strike his subordinate forces outside the domain, ensuring no mistakes."

Gu Yin concluded decisively.
