Chapter 810: Star Spirit Clan
"All the inheritances, free to browse?"
Qin Jinlai felt a stir in his heart.
But Qin Daosheng was unwilling to take that risk: "Life and death battles are never a joke. Before truly knowing and understanding an opponent, you can never know what trump card they might have. Changqing, although you have the record of killing a Divine King, such achievements often require the cooperation of the right time and place. Without external factors, you are ultimately just a Golden Immortal."
"The vast collection of the Honorable Daoist Mansion may be rich, but cannot compare to the Fire Cloud Palace in terms of level. They say weapons should be valuable, not abundant."
Qin Yuanzhen looked at Gu Jinlai: "It's your choice. The decision is yours."
Qi Yunsheng saw this and also looked at Gu Jinlai.
"Alright."
Without hesitation, Gu Jinlai agreed.
Although the Fire Cloud Palace's collection surpasses the Honorable Daoist Mansion in quality, he can foresee that there must be various restrictions on browsing the most top-tier texts.
Moreover, he needs to find ways to complete the Three Thousand Great Dao, expand his vision. The Honorable Daoist Mansion's vast library and inheritance cannot be more suitable for him right now.
Besides...
He can pick up tens of thousands of Qingguang for free.
Why not?
"Changqing!"
Qin Daosheng was somewhat worried.
"Since Changqing is confident, we should respect his choice."
Qin Yuanzhen said.
Compared to others, he knew that Gu Jinlai's Spirit Level had already broken through to the Eleventh Rank.
The Eleventh Rank Spirit Level, coupled with possessing a Fantian Ring that can resist the Divine Will, and other immortal instruments as a set, hunting an ordinary Divine Spirit poses no danger.
"Thank you."
Qi Yunsheng hurriedly clasped his hands: "I'll notify Yan Lie immediately, and we'll head directly to the Star Domain where the Divine Spirit is concealing."
Gu Jinlai nodded.
Qin Yuanzhen and Qin Daosheng naturally did not hesitate to propose accompanying him.
Of course, Qi Yunsheng wouldn't refuse.
He directly summoned the Hall Master of the New Academy Hall and another Hall Master in charge of material logistics, totaling five Immortal Golden Immortals, boarding a prepared starship.
This time, it only took three days. After passing through a large Realm Gate, they arrived in a Star Domain with extremely weak space fluctuations.
Gu Jinlai swept his gaze across, and in many places, the space fluctuations were so weak that he couldn't traverse the space without the help of an Immortal Space Immortal Artifact.
Theoretically, this should be a Star Domain where no cultivators set foot.
"Star Prison."
Qin Yuanzhen spoke.
Star Prison, with astonishing space scale, often measuring tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of light years.
Within these tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of light years, there is almost no matter, no energy, and even the Dao is extremely inactive.
If living beings are exiled to the Star Prison, even Golden Immortals of the Flowing Light Path and Space Avenue will be eternally trapped due to the thinness of Dao power.
The only method to break open the Star Prison is to cultivate into an Immortal Golden Immortal.
Fire Cloud Palace, Light Council, Void Sword Sect, many Golden Immortals who committed serious crimes but had some potential are exiled to the Star Prison.
If they can break through their cultivation and escape the Star Prison, they naturally turn death into life; if they can't break through...
They are forever left in the Star Prison.
When the group appeared from the Realm Gate, there were already six awaiting...
To be precise, three human-like living beings and three stars were waiting outside the Realm Gate in the starry sky.
Among the three stars, one is a small star.
A diameter less than a million miles, a Red Dwarf Star.
Infinite light radiated from him, illuminating this starry sky, supplying light and heat to this starry sky.
Even though Gu Jinlai was somewhat "face-blind" to the alien race, he could deduce from the fact that he was the only Golden Immortal present that this must be the Star Spirit Clan's supreme genius, Yan Lie, occupying the Inner Mansion Daoist Master quota within the New Fire Star Sea.
Not far from him, there were two stars with diameters of only a few dozen miles, yet their radiance was filled with a blazing white, which was gorgeous purple.
Just a glance, anyone could feel the explosive and destructive energy from them.
This is a neutron star!
Moreover, compressed to the extreme, ready to evolve into black holes at any moment.
The power of the Devouring Dao constantly emanated from them, even distorting the operation of the Realm Gate.
The moment Gu Jinlai and his group arrived, they were immediately affected by this devouring power.
"Hum!"
Qin Yuanzhen, sensing the show-off by these two Star Spirits, snorted coldly, and swung his hand as if moving without effort.
An invisible ripple spread and propagated from him.
Where the ripple passed, everything was flattened.
Even the devouring power and destruction power emanating from the two Star Spirits were no exception.
This action seemed to make the two neutron star-like beings somewhat dissatisfied.
The powerful Divine Thought swept across the energy fluctuations on the neutron star, quickly invoking an even stronger Devouring Dao, containing even the aura of the Destruction Dao.
These two types of compound energy clearly surpassed the Nihility Dao's dissipating power on Qin Yuanzhen's body, causing the forces of devouring and destruction to descend upon this starry sky once again, spreading towards Gu Jinlai and others.
"Enough!"
At this time, Qi Yunsheng shouted lowly.
He took a step into the void, and it seemed as if countless beings were chanting loudly behind him. Each of these beings carried astonishing fluctuations, which, when combined, elevated his presence to the extreme, much like the relationship between Holy Spirits and Divine Spirits.
This is the Legacy Path.
Every inheritor of the legacy becomes a part of his power.
As the Pavilion Master of the Honorable Daoist Mansion, Qi Yunsheng has "taught" countless Immortal Golden Immortals over the years. Once these powers and beliefs are manifested, they thoroughly suppress the powers of the Nihility Dao, the Devouring Dao, and the Destruction Dao.
Of course, this does not mean that the Legacy Path is particularly strong.
This Dao wouldn't even make it into the top thirty.
The current might of it is solely because Qi Yunsheng is stronger.
"Yan Chi, Yan Bai, although our Human Clan is hospitable and willing to entertain every guest to the best of our ability, if a group of malicious guests arrives, our Human Clan also has the swords and shields ready to refuse the enemy."
Qi Yunsheng looked at the two Star Spirits and said.
"Heh, Lord Qi's words make no sense. We haven't done anything."
"Indeed, we merely emitted our energy fluctuations. Is that wrong?"
The two neutron star-like Star Spirits responded simultaneously.
Divine Thought mingled in the void.
This form of communication completely surpassed the transmission time of language.
"Is that so? It seems that when our human clan's powerhouses pass through the Star Spirit Clan's territory, they too can proceed without suppressing their energy fluctuations and speed, freely traversing the Star Spirit Clan's domain."
Qi Yunsheng said.
"Lord Qi, stop wasting words with them, just based on what they've said, we can directly expel them."
Qin Yuanzhen stepped forward and said.
As soon as these words came out, the two Star Spirits finally activated their Divine Sense ability, voluntarily restraining the Devouring Dao emanating from them, saying simultaneously, "Just kidding, you are all figures who have cultivated into Immortal Golden Immortals, surely you can take a little joke."
The other Star Spirits who had taken human forms also said, "Calm down, we Star Spirits are here with sincerity."
"Since that's the case, then let's not waste time. Let's proceed as planned earlier."
Qi Yunsheng directly took out two pieces of jade: "These specially refined jade pieces can sense the position of that Divine Spirit. The closer it gets, the clearer the perception."
He directly threw the two pieces of jade towards Gu Jinlai and another star, which resembled a red dwarf star.
Throughout this process, he did not employ any protective measures, startling the red dwarf star lifeform into quickly restraining the scorching heat waves containing the Power of Destruction within itself.
"These Star Spirits indeed have natural advantages. Each Star Spirit can easily master one or even two Daos depending on their developmental direction. Moreover, every Star Spirit is innately blessed with an extremely long lifespan... Their probability of achieving Immortal status far exceeds ours."
Qin Daosheng said with some envy.
"Though the Star Spirits have strong innate talents, their numbers are exceptionally few. In terms of total population, they are not even one-ten-billionth of our Human Clan."
Qin Yuanzhen said, "From our Human Clan's vast population, some exceptionally talented individuals will always emerge. As long as these talents achieve immortality, they gain eternal life. Over time, the Human Clan has indeed become one of the Supreme Races in the cosmic starry sky. Even the innately powerful Star Spirits dare not act recklessly in front of us."
Qin Daosheng nodded in agreement.
"Go then."
Qi Yunsheng said, "The first to hunt down the Divine Spirit wins."
Gu Jinlai nodded, stepped into the void, and activated the Universe Light Without Boundary.
The result...
He only traversed for a moment before having to stop due to being unable to sense spatial fluctuations.
The red dwarf star form of Yan Lie saw Gu Jinlai leave and also gathered his enormous energy fluctuations. Once compressed to a span of just a few dozen miles, he used gravity to swiftly rush in another direction.
Once the two departed, Yan Chi and Yan Bai likewise manifested into human forms and landed to the side.
Despite the innate strength of the Star Spirits, it is undeniable that in this world, the human form is the Innate Taoist Body.
In human form, Yan Chi glanced at Qi Yunsheng and smiled, "It seems Lord Qi is confident in surpassing our Jiguang Star Sea Dao Venerable Mansion and seizing resources from us."
Qi Yunsheng smiled back and said, "Indeed, the talents of the Star Spirit Clan are remarkable, but our Human Clan is no less. There are some geniuses among our Human Clan who are not only comparable to the Star Spirit Clan but even surpass them."
"Oh, really?"
This Star Spirit glanced at Qi Yunsheng, "Then let us wait and see."
Hearing this, Qi Yunsheng suddenly felt something was amiss.
Immediately, realizing something, he exclaimed, "Immortal Artifact!?"
In this competition, they hadn't restricted the use of Immortal Artifacts!
Could it be...
"Hehe, Yan Lie is one of the top-tier talents of our Star Spirit Yan Clan. Unlike the populous Human Clan, we naturally concentrate our valuable items on a few individuals, which is only reasonable."
Yan Chi chuckled.
Qi Yunsheng's heart suddenly sank.
But now, with both competitors deep within the Star Prison, it's probably too late to intervene.
Moreover, despite only a few of them facing off, this contest involves the two Honorable Daoist Mansions, with the entire process to be overseen by the chief Pavilion Master of the Honorable Daoist Mansion, leaving him no room to interfere at this point.
At this moment, he could only hope that Gu Jinlai's talents were indeed as genuine and formidable as the Qin family had portrayed, capable of using the Golden Immortal Body to battle against Divine Spirits, even those at the Divine King level.
