Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal-Chapter 685 - 641: Arrangement

Immortal Country.

Atop the Demon Suppression Peak, situated outside of Zhao Xi’s Super Cave Heaven, a small-scale celebration banquet was being held.

Despite the modest size of the celebration, the attendees, without exception, were of extremely high status.

The weakest among them were at the Void Immortal Realm.

The six pillars of the Immortal Country—Central Heaven Purple Light Immortal Master, Eastern Heaven Infinite Immortal Master, Southern Sky Changsheng Immortal Master, West Heavenly Spirit Jade Immortal Master, and North Heaven Star Battle Immortal Master—all descended in their incarnated projections to attend the banquet, celebrating the hard-won victory.

"The merging of the Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao is proceeding very smoothly. The Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao we nurtured is in essence a part of the Heavenly Dao carried by the Xuanling Daoist Master of the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect. Now that the two Heavenly Daos are merging, there are no obstructions whatsoever. In ten days at the fastest, or one month at the slowest, the two Transforming Spirit Heavenly Daos will become one. Moreover, the merged Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao has already reached Perfection. In other words, I will be able to carry the Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao into battle, reinforcing any battlefield I choose," Zhao Xi said, smiling, also in his incarnated form at the banquet.

"A perfect Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao! How wonderful! Our Immortal Country now also has a true Immortal Master!" an Infinite Heavenly Immortal said earnestly.

A True Immortal who merges their own Dao Fruit into a Grotto Heaven and can harness the power of that Grotto Heaven is considered a Heavenly Immortal.

When a Heavenly Immortal accumulates enough power, they begin to nurture a Heavenly Dao.

The moment the Heavenly Dao takes its initial shape, the Heavenly Immortal is at the Peak.

Though the Heavenly Dao is born at this stage, it practically has no battle power.

It is only when the Heavenly Dao reaches Small Achievement, able to project outwards to enhance oneself or weaken an opponent, that the Heavenly Immortal is considered a Daoist Master in terms of Realm.

Beyond that, when the Heavenly Dao reaches Great Success, they are top-tier Daoist Masters.

Their Heavenly Dao can be temporarily separated, allowing top-tier Daoist Masters to carry their Heavenly Dao into battle, just like an Immortal Master.

However, as the Heavenly Dao is not yet perfect, such separations cause great damage to the Heavenly Dao itself; at best, it suffers harm, and at worst, it is completely extinguished.

Only those Heavenly Daos that have reached Perfection in every aspect can freely be carried into battle by the Heavenly Immortals.

And the cultivators who possess such a Heavenly Dao are referred to as Immortal Masters.

Through the merging of his nurtured Heavenly Dao with the one brought by Xuanling Daoist Master, Zhao Xi took a huge leap forward, achieving the Perfection of his Heavenly Dao in one go, and thus rightly earning the title of Immortal Master.

"During this time, we have also obtained many Magic Skills for nurturing a Heavenly Dao. With the threat and restraint of the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect now gone, we can all now fully devote ourselves to nurturing our own Heavenly Daos, preparing for the achievement of becoming a Daoist Master," Zhao Xi looked at the Infinite Heavenly Immortals and others, smiling as he spoke: "You all have cultivated the Refining God Skill for Eighteen Layers of Heaven, and your Divine Sense Realm is not lacking. Given the resources of our Changsheng World, and with your foundations, it is certain that in a few decades, you will each nurture your own Heavenly Dao and achieve the status of Daoist Master."

Zhao Xi’s words brought smiles to the faces of the many Heavenly Immortals present.

"Speaking of which, our victory against the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect wouldn’t have been possible without Immortal Master Gu’s contribution," Zhao Xi’s gaze turned to Gu Jin Lai: "Without Immortal Master Gu’s full support, how could our Immortal Country have turned a crisis into an opportunity? If we were careless, the Immortal Country could have even faced the danger of collapse."

His words drew everyone’s attention to Gu Jin Lai.

Several Heavenly Immortals looked at him with amazement in their eyes.

"There are always people beyond people, heavens beyond skies. I thought our Immortal Country was already at the pinnacle of the Changsheng World, but I never expected that in the Qiantian World there existed such a supreme being like Immortal Master Gu. Immortal Master Gu has reached a level comparable to that of an Immortal Master on the Innate Sacred Path, far surpassing all of us here, truly admirable," the Central Heaven Purple Light Immortal Master was the first to raise his Immortal Brew towards Gu Jin Lai: "I toast to Immortal Master Gu, grateful for the great contribution he made to our Immortal Country."

"Not just Purple Light Immortal Master, but all of us should toast to Immortal Master Gu. Just as Immortal Master Zhao said, without Immortal Master Gu, the Immortal Country could have collapsed. Immortal Master Gu saved our entire Immortal Country," the West Heavenly Spirit Jade Immortal Master also stepped forward with a smile.

Her words resonated with the other Immortal Masters present.

Seeing this, Zhao Xi also smiled and said, "The few of us are not enough to acknowledge Immortal Master Gu’s contribution, which is not only significant for our Immortal Country but for the entire Human Clan of the Changsheng World for generations to come. I propose that everyone here drink a full cup to honor Immortal Master Gu."

No sooner had he spoken than the assembled True Immortals and Void Immortals also put aside what they were doing, echoing loudly: "To Immortal Master Gu."

"Thank you, Immortal Master Gu, for your generous support."

"Everyone in the Immortal Country will remember the kindness of Immortal Master Gu."

At that moment, the atmosphere became incredibly warm.

At this moment, Gu Jin Lai truly became the center of the banquet, the focus of thousands.

In addition to the Heavenly Immortals and Void Immortals of the Immortal Country, saints like Duanmu Chengyun, Su Xin, and Dong Xuanzi were also among the invited.

They wielded their Divine Weapons, exhibiting the power of Supreme Void Immortals, which, though extraordinary in its own right, was merely tantamount to that of an Ordinary True Immortal in the context of the Immortal Country.

Seeing Gu Jin Lai garnering the support of everyone in the Immortal Country, and single-handedly rescuing it from the conspiracies of the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect, being honored as an Immortal Master, they couldn’t help feeling proud, while also touched by the honor.

After all... ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Gu Jin Lai is none other than their Holy Dynasty’s Prince Li Yang.

Given the current direction of the Immortal Country, their next step must surely be to find a way to defeat the Devils and recover lost territories.

With the Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao, defeating the Devils has become a very real possibility.

Once the Devils are defeated, and the Human Clan regains the lost lands, the Immortal Country will undoubtedly re-establish order in the Changsheng World. By that time, the Holy Dynasty may no longer be able to keep to itself as it has been.

The best course of action for them would be to align themselves closely with a powerful patron to ensure that, when interests are divided, the Holy Dynasty can protect its own territory.

And when it comes to powerful patrons...

The several Supreme Void Immortals glanced at each other.

Who could surpass Immortal Master Gu?

As for the manner...

Isn’t Lingxiao Palace recruiting?

It seems quite nice for them to register there and become elders.

At that moment, people like Duanmu Chengyun all had other ideas in their hearts, just waiting for the banquet to end to discuss it properly with him.

...

The banquet ended.

All the True Immortals and Void Immortals began to leave the venue.

However, a few Heavenly Immortals, including Gu Jinlai, gathered together in another meeting room.

"Our next focus should be the Blood Pool Demon Abyss, we need to crush the Devils there. Once we destroy this Demon Abyss, we will gain a lengthy respite,"

Zhao Xi said, his expression full of confidence, "As long as we prevent the Blood Pool Demon Abyss from expanding, those Dominator Level Demon Spirits won’t be able to enter, and we will eventually be able to completely annihilate these Devils."

"Leave the battlefield of the Blood Pool Demon Abyss to you. For the time being, I plan to start the task of reclaiming lost territories,"

Gu Jinlai declared.

"Reclaim lost territories?"

The Purple Light Immortal at his side was slightly startled, "Isn’t that a bit too hasty? After all, the battlefield of the Blood Pool Demon Abyss is not yet concluded. Instead of dividing our forces, we’d be better served concentrating our strength to crush the Devils of the Blood Pool Demon Abyss."

"The task of reclaiming lost territories is also extremely important. In fact, I’ve been concerned for the past half-year that although the Devils have been falling into a disadvantage in the Blood Pool Demon Abyss, they should be able to see that failure is only a matter of time. Why then, do they not reduce the forces they’re pouring into the Blood Pool Demon Abyss?"

Zhao Xi said solemnly, "Also, considering that over these years we’ve redirected all our scattered forces towards achieving victory in the Blood Pool Demon Abyss battle, the surveillance of the surrounding areas has significantly weakened. If the Devils pick this time to start another battlefield and open up a new Demon Abyss in a different region, we simply wouldn’t detect it in time. So, it’s very necessary for Immortal Master Gu to inspect the surroundings and start reclaiming lost territories."

Gu Jinlai glanced at Zhao Xi.

This Immortal Master Zhao was clearly looking for reasons for him.

He nodded in agreement, "That is one factor, but the most important reason has to do with the internal development of the Longevity World; population is everything. A sufficient population can nurture enough Spirit Mechanisms, and from enough Spirit Mechanisms, more Heavenly Dao can be derived. Aren’t the Devils making every attempt to invade our Longevity World to breed human populations? And you all have experienced the changes that raising human populations brings to the Devils, haven’t you?"

Everyone nodded in agreement with these words.

Immortal Masters and Demon Lords were almost products of the same era.

To date, there were only six Immortal Masters, but Demon Lords...

Though there were only five, there are a dozen or even scores of Dominator Level Demon Spirits comparable to Heavenly Immortals.

Most of these Dominator Level Demon Spirits were nurtured over the past hundred or two hundred years.

"Then, as Immortal Master Gu said, leave the Blood Pool Demon Abyss battlefield to us, and Immortal Master Gu will reclaim the lost territories, rescuing our kinfolk who are confined by the Devils,"

the Purple Light Immortal Master said.

Gu Jinlai nodded.

He was worried that the people of the Immortal Country would think he was taking advantage of their conflict with the Devils of the Blood Pool Demon Abyss to secretly pick up rewards, so he made sure to clear this matter up.

Fortunately, the upper echelons of the Immortal Country were very understanding.

"Do we need to dispatch people from our side to cooperate with Immortal Master Gu?"

"No need, just give me those few from the Holy Dynasty, and I will take them with me,"

Gu Jinlai said with a smile, "Given the current situation in the Blood Pool Demon Abyss, we surely won’t miss a few Supreme Void Immortals."

The Purple Light Immortal Master and the others smiled upon hearing this.

The situation was developing in an increasingly favorable direction for the Longevity World.

...

After the banquet, Zhao Xi continued his retreat to refine the Transforming Spirit Heavenly Dao.

All the great Heavenly Immortals also returned to their respective places to suppress their territories.

Gu Jinlai likewise went back to his courtyard.

There, Duanmu Chengyun and others were already waiting for him.

With the intention to cling to powerful coattails, upon receiving a message from Gu Jinlai who hoped to enlist the power of the Holy Dynasty to reclaim the surrounding areas, they did not hesitate nor hide their excitement as they agreed at once.

Thereupon, Gu Jinlai spread out a map in front of them: "This is the map provided by the Immortal Country. They’ve discovered twenty-three confined areas, each with a population of over a hundred million. The three largest ones are located in the Zi Domain, Shen Domain, and Chen Domain respectively."

He declared, "Theoretically, the Zi Domain is closest to us right now. However, I have decided to strike at the Chen Domain first. Once you return, gather the forces to prepare for the liberation of the Chen Domain and the reception of the Chen Domain Human Race."

"Yes,"

Duanmu Chengyun and the others responded respectfully, "Leave it to us, we will not disappoint Immortal Master Gu."

Gu Jinlai nodded.

After discussing some details, the group quickly departed.

As the rulers of the Holy Dynasty, their abilities were beyond doubt.

"These twenty-three confined areas contain a population of tens of billions. If all are reclaimed, raising the Great Sun Eternal Method by one or two layers won’t be a problem,"

Gu Jinlai pondered.

Finding himself in a rare moment of leisure, he shifted his attention to the Void Projection Technique.

He considered the Blue Star to be his backyard and would not allow any external forces to meddle.
