Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal

The Qin family, as the dominant power in the Taibai Star Domain, possesses influence far beyond imagination.

Gu Jinlai governs the Longevity World, Profound Immortal Realm, and Blue Star, overseeing several hundred billion spirits, further leading the Evergreen Alliance and influencing hundreds of worlds, already qualifying as a regional power. Yet, compared to the influence of the Qin family in the Taibai Star Domain, how can it not fall short by a considerable margin?

Though the Qin family is not the Domain Master of Taibai, they are the largest local power, with their influence permeating every corner of the Taibai Star Domain.

Across tens of thousands of worlds within the Taibai Star Domain, nearly every one bears the presence of members of the Qin family.

The worlds directly under the Qin family's control number as many as twenty-nine.

Compared to the influence of the Sky Splitting Sect in the Yanhuang Star Domain, it surpasses even that.

As for worlds indirectly influenced by the Qin family, there are as many as five or six hundred.

Billions of years of inheritance have integrated the Qin family disciples deeply into every sector of the Taibai Star Domain.

County Master, City Lord, State Governor, Realm Lord...

Qin family members are everywhere.

The Qin family possesses a population so vast that even Qin Daosheng, the Family Patriarch, is unable to calculate it clearly.

To date, only cultivators who have achieved True Immortality can enter the Qin family genealogy and become part of the Qin family. To join the Qin family's main lineage, a cultivator must achieve the Great Dao Golden Immortal level.

Among the entire Qin family, there are so many Great Dao Golden Immortal level experts to be surprising.

On the surface alone, there are several thousand of them.

Of course most of these thousands of Golden Immortals achieved breakthroughs by leveraging the opportunity to enter the Enlightenment Star, their potential limited. Truly those with potential, capability, and strength to enter the core circle of the Qin family are no more than a few hundred.

Presently, the most outstanding of these few hundred and others under the leadership of Qin Zhengfang stand in an empty port.

As the Space Law flows, a star shuttle with beautiful curves appears above the port.

The glow and vibrations emitted by the star shuttle inspire envy in the Qin family members unable to step onto the port from afar.

Such expressions are akin to rich children who adore sports cars witnessing the world's finest sports car.

"Buzz buzz!"

The starship docks steadily, its door opening, and Qin Fangzheng rushes to welcome immediately.

"Changqing, welcome."

This Immortal Seed of the Qin family smiles and says, "Is this your first visit to our Qin family? Let me introduce our Qin family's people to you properly, and give you a tour of our Qin family."

Gu Jinlai nods slightly.

Among the ten or so people Qin Fangzheng brought, he saw several familiar faces.

Like Qin Keren, Qin Yubing, Qin Lingfei, all were among them.

Besides these three, there were several other excellent Qin family women with Great Dao compatibility of at least eighty percent.

As for the male disciples, most were Qin family's quasi-Immortal Seeds or even genuine Immortal Seeds.

Their Great Dao compatibility was above ninety percent.

These people have the hope of achieving Immortality, thus having the qualification to catch Gu Jinlai's eye. Otherwise, those even lacking hope of breaking through to the Immortal Realm, such Golden Immortals are a waste of his precious time for someone destined to become an Honorable Daoist.

"Our Qin family has held the Taibai Star Domain for three billion eight hundred sixty-four million two hundred forty-two thousand years, during which thirteen Immortal Golden Immortals have been born..."

Qin Fangzheng introduces while leading Gu Jinlai towards the Main Hall, "This Da Qin Star has always been our Qin family's headquarters since ancient times. After several billion years of development, all aspects have long been perfected, and the three hundred billion clansmen living on this star are at least middle-level mechanics."

Gu Jinlai listens quietly, while understanding from his mouth the true foundation of such a top family in Firewood Star Sea.

No!

Strictly speaking, the Qin family is still not considered a top family.

The forces within the Heart of the Cosmic are intricately complex, with six forces within the Human Clan alone being guarded by Great Powers.

The Fire Cloud Palace, Void Sword Sect, Light Council, Eternal Cosmos Trading Company, Primordial Spirit Temple, and Creation Immortal Dynasty.

These six can be regarded as alliances formed by individual cultivators to resist alien races.

If one were dividing forces by family power, surely the first echelon consists of families with existing Great Powers.

Next is the second echelon, once having had Great Powers, ancient forces with current Immortal Venerables stationed.

Following would be the third echelon of Immortal Venerable level forces, fourth echelon of forces once having Immortal Venerables.

Only at the fifth echelon do forces like the Qin family come into play, with billions of years of inheritance and possessing Thousand Epoch Dao Venerable level forces.

This level is not actually considered Cosmic level anymore, but Star Zone level.

At the least, in the West Wasteland, Ancient Desolation, Jiguang Star Sea, Da Luo Realm, Black Abyss Realm and other Star Zones, many likely don't even know what the Qin family is.

Yet despite this, the weight carried by the Qin family still far exceeds everyone's imagination.

After all, the Cosmic is too large.

Beneath them are similar Immortal families like the Li Family, and even weaker forces such as Ziliu Mountain and East Splendor Sect.

As for Gu Jinlai's Evergreen Alliance, even compared to Lianshan Alliance, it falls short.

"On the scale of the Cosmic Starry Sky, individuals, especially ordinary individuals, are too insignificant..."

Gu Jinlai sighs: "This world gathers vast power in one body, every Golden Immortal essentially is equivalent to a small Constant Star... If ordinary people from a technology world compared to families like the Qin family, they wouldn't even be considered dust or mayflies..."

At this moment, he finally understands why higher cultivation beings place greater importance on the cultivation of the Divine Sense.

Because the distance between ordinary beings and them has become so vast that they can't be considered the same species at all.

Yet, paradoxically, everything about them is built upon the foundation of ordinary beings.

Without a strong divine sense to separate them from the foundation of ordinary beings, they cannot bear such a vast "worldview" at all!

Just like Gu Jinlai himself, now when he looks back on his journey and travels on Blue Star, he feels as if it belongs to a different era.

It's as if all the experiences on Blue Star and the Longevity World are just a dreamlike experience.

Like putting a human's mind into a butterfly to experience the life of a butterfly.

Only after waking from the dream is he truly himself.

This change in the heart realm led Gu Jinlai to think about every time he used Qingguang to add points, his divine sense would immerse in a peculiar enlightenment, just like an experience his other self in a parallel space-time is going through.

Qingguang activated the mysterious power of Qing Lian, infusing such experiences belonging to him in another space-time into his present self, causing his cultivation, enlightenment, and divine sense to soar rapidly, surpassing countless Golden Immortals' arduously cultivated experience of millions and tens of millions of years.

Is this also a kind of experience like Zhou Zhuang Mengdie?

He felt that his time on Blue Star was a dreamlike experience.

Does his parallel time-space self view his current self as a dreamlike experience as well?

"Whether it's Zhou Zhuang Mengdie or Butterfly Dreaming Zhou Zhuang, at least when the whole story is presented, it's from Zhou Zhuang's perspective; at least, words are something a butterfly could never grasp."

Gu Jinlai had a guess in his heart: "So, every time I feel like I resonate with my other self in parallel space-time under the Clear Light State, is it the mysterious power of Qing Lian, or because I am actually the 'experiencer' of the dream?"

This thought lingered in his mind for a long time, refusing to disperse.

As a result, he didn't have much interest in traveling around with Qin Zhengfang and others.

Qin Zhengfang seemed to notice Gu Jinlai's lack of enthusiasm and arranged for him to rest.

Early the next morning, Qin Zhengfang again received him and took him to the Qin Family Main Hall.

Here, the Qin Family Patriarch, the Qin Family Ancestor, and another Immortal of the Qin Family were waiting.

Seeing Gu Jinlai, Qin Yuanzhen stood up without reservation and laughed, saying, "Hahaha, is this the supreme genius of the century that Yu Yan praised? Indeed, upon meeting, you truly possess extraordinary demeanor and remarkable talents."

"Patriarch, you flatter me."

Gu Jinlai modestly replied.

"I'm speaking the truth."

Qin Yuanzhen warmly approached, personally pulling Gu Jinlai inside the hall, "Come, come, consider being at the Qin Family like being home. With your talent, you will certainly grow into a pillar for the Qin Family in the future, supporting the family's business. Let me introduce you to the main figures of our Qin Family."

As he spoke, without Gu Jinlai having to take the initiative, one after another, the responsible individuals of the Qin Family, including the Immortal Golden Immortal Qin Yongdao, came forward to greet Gu Jinlai, familiarizing their faces.

The whole process…

Gu Jinlai felt a bit like he was rushing from one appointment to another.

In fact, not only Gu Jinlai felt this way, but so did Qin Yuanzhen and Qin Daosheng.

But there was no other way.

Gu Jinlai grew so fast that if he didn't meet all the main figures of the Qin Family soon, he'd soon ascend to the Immortal Golden Immortal level.

This sense of recruiting a supreme genius…

Truly brings both pain and joy.

In the following month, Gu Jinlai was almost continuously meeting one main figure of the Qin Family after another.

The various banquets never stopped.

This fully made Gu Jinlai realize how vast and substantial the Qin Family is.

With the number of experts in the Qin Family, if they wanted to build a Small World, they wouldn't need three thousand Immortal Artifacts; they could easily gather three thousand Profound Immortals to set up a formation like the Celestial Star Array.

This ordeal lasted a month, and Gu Jinlai had to proactively request to return to the Honorable Daoist Mansion quickly.

Qin Yuanzhen and Qin Daosheng seemed unable to go against his wishes.

After some arrangements, quickly, Qin Daosheng personally came forward, accompanied by over a hundred Golden Immortals, forming a fleet, setting sail towards the Honorable Daoist Mansion.

And seemingly to ensure Gu Jinlai's safety along the journey, Qin Yuanzhen also followed as a secret line.

However, as Gu Jinlai stepped onto the warship, he realized that there was a Daoist Venerable more powerful than Qin Yuanzhen hidden on the ship.

The reason this Qin Family Ancestor accompanied seemed to be to accompany this mysterious power.

In his thoughts, he chose to trust the Qin Family and did not show any unusual attitude toward the mysterious Daoist Venerable who was unwilling to show up.

...

When the Qin Family fleet set sail, a piece of information quickly reached a starry sky not far from the Hidden Dragon Star Domain.

Here, Gu Yin, who had long been waiting, laughed aloud: "Good, good, good, finally willing to leave the protection of the Qin Family and head to the Honorable Daoist Mansion!? With Qin Daosheng personally escorting, that's cautious, but not enough!"

"No time to delay, let's intercept quickly."

Lie Tian said.

Beside him were the two Immortals Xuan Tian and Zhen Tian of the Sky Splitting Sect.

"Indeed, speed is crucial! Notify Ming Zun and Su Liu to come and join us!"

Gu Yin nodded and sneered, his tone full of absolute confidence, "This time, Gu Jinlai is doomed, no one can save him, I said it!"
