The atmosphere was lively at the dinner table.
Gu Jinlai’s gaze swept over his parents, younger brother, and uncle one by one.
"Gu Kaiyuan, An Li, Gu Jinzao, Gu Kaishan."
He looked at these familiar faces.
Eight years.
These faces had not beco unfamiliar with the passage of ti; instead, they had beco more deeply etched into his mind, sinking into his spirit.
In the Longevity World, he established a glorious career, becoming not only the Patriarch of the Gu family but also wielding unquestionable power in Qiantian.
Yet his spirit never found a ho.
Or rather, he never truly felt a sense of belonging to the Longevity World.
But here...
Just by seeing these few people for a mont, his spirit suddenly cald down.
Even though he was still in the Longevity World at this mont, unable to truly return to Blue Star, but...
Just watching them eat and chat, feeling happy about Xie Yusheng’s two million, he experienced a sense of fulfillnt that not even suppressing the six Supre Immortals of the Holy Dynasty could match.
"So, I understand now, all the efforts I exerted in the Longevity World were like a traveler working tirelessly in a foreign land, with the sole purpose of soday returning ho in glory,"
Gu Jinlai murmured to himself.
So, do sothing.
Even if it’s a bit selfish, a bit domineering.
Like...
"Blue Star, from now on, shall be my, Gu Jinlai’s backyard. No person or power is permitted to intervene, or else, they will face my most fierce retaliation."
Gu Jinlai said to himself in his mind.
This mont, he seed to have finally found the motivation to strive and struggle with all his might in the Longevity World.
Just like those in foreign lands who study with dedication and work tirelessly day and night.
It was for the ho they recognized...
To make it better.
That was all.
...
"I need you to keep an eye on the True Immortal Research Institute and, at the very least, figure out where the Cultivation Techniques of the True Immortal Research Institute co from and which Immortal, Divine Being, Demon, or Fiend they have contacted."
Gu Jinlai’s voice suddenly rose in Xie Yusheng’s mind.
In fact, Xie Yusheng had sensed his arrival already.
The Perfect Level Void Projection Technique clearly could not be as silent and undetectable as the Mahayana Level Void Projection Technique.
"The True Immortal Research Institute..."
Xie Yusheng was a bit troubled: "The True Immortal Research Institute has a very high level of confidentiality, with my current identity and status I’m afraid I won’t be able to access much of its secret information."
"No matter, I will assist you,"
Gu Jinlai earnestly instructed: "Along with awakening, there is a terrible Devil that awoke as well. Should he regain his strength, he’ll surely bring unimaginable disasters to the entire Blue Star. The entity your True Immortal Research Institute has contacted might just be that Devil."
"Really? Wasn’t the True Immortal Research Institute in contact with an Immortal from a xianxia world called the Longevity World? Could it be... the Immortals of the Longevity World and those of Blue Star are actually working together?"
Xie Yusheng was shocked, then he had another thought: "Could it be that due to the proximity of the Longevity World, so type of energy similar to Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy has seeped into Blue Star, causing the revival of spiritual energy, and as a result, the Demon Gods like you, who should have been asleep, are gradually waking up?"
"..."
Listening to Xie Yusheng’s speculation, Gu Jinlai thought it was interesting—he had co up with all the reasons for him.
Quite the clever little devil.
"Correct, you’re sharp to grasp it with only a hint,"
Gu Jinlai praised with satisfaction: "Therefore, to prevent the world from destruction and to maintain world peace, you must stand up, carrying out justice and truth. No matter how difficult it is to infiltrate the True Immortal Research Institute, you must figure out who exactly they are in contact with and to what extent their cooperation has reached, do you understand?"
"Hiss! I... am to beco a Savior!?"
Xie Yusheng took a sharp intake of breath: "Isn’t... isn’t this mission too heavy for to undertake?"
"You are chosen by , Emperor Taiyi. You may doubt yourself, but you should never doubt my power,"
Gu Jinlai said.
"I..."
Xie Yusheng’s face showed a trace of conflict.
After a while, it seed like he had made a decision: "I... I understand... I’ll find a way to infiltrate the True Immortal Research Institute first."
He rembered his family recently ntioning that Qiao Siyu could arrange for his transfer there...
It seems that sacrificing his charm is inevitable.
"It would be great if I could get in touch with that ’Qian Star person’."
He lanted sowhat helplessly.
"Contacting that Qian Star person?"
Listening to this, Gu Jinlai thought for a mont.
He had already secretly learned that the South Heavenly Gate project team had tacitly guessed that the "Qian Star person" he impersonated might be a mber of the Longevity World, and they even split this part of the data and sent it into the True Immortal Research Institute.
If he put forth a little effort in this area...
He should be able to allow Xie Yusheng to infiltrate the True Immortal Research Institute and clearly understand whether the True Immortal Research Institute is in contact with the Blue Star people from the Immortal Country, or...
The True Immortals of the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect who entered the Immortal Country.
If it’s the forr, well and good.
If it’s the latter...
It would undoubtedly prove that Blue Star has been exposed to the view of the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect.
With a plan in mind, Gu Jinlai cast another look at his family mbers Gu Kaiyuan, An Li, Gu Jinzao, Gu Kaishan.
There wasn’t much of Qingguang left; he needed to leave.
"Practice the Chaos Demon God Eternal thod diligently, I need to continue my slumber, and when necessary I will awaken again to provide you with new guidance."
Gu Jinlai gave an instruction.
"I will heed the Emperor’s command,"
Xie Yusheng responded earnestly.
Gu Jinlai was quite satisfied with him and, following that, retracted his True Spirit.
However, as he withdrew his True Spirit and returned to the True Spirit Realm, he seed to think of sothing.
If he had already seen his father Gu Kaiyuan, An Li, Gu Jinzao, and Gu Kaishan, his older uncle, did that an that if necessary, he could use the Void Projection Technique to project himself onto them?
With a thought, he began to search for the Spirit Lights of his parents, younger brother, and paternal uncle.
Thanks to Xie Yusheng serving as a reference point, it didn’t take long for him to make a discovery.
"Found it,"
said Gu Jinlai.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, he seed to sense sothing unusual.
Viewed from the True Spirit Realm, the Spirit Light of his father Gu Kaiyuan, his younger brother Gu Jinzao, and his great uncle Gu Kaishan was notably stronger than that of Xie Yusheng.
Compared to his mother An Li’s, it was several tis higher.
This result was sowhat surprising to him.
"Spiritual Talent?"
He quickly thought of so deductions by Xing Bieli.
So individuals were able to complete the crossing safely from Blue Star to the Longevity World due to possessing "Spiritual Talent."
Based on this reasoning...
did his father Gu Kaiyuan, younger brother Gu Jinzao, and great uncle Gu Kaishan all have Talent!?
"Could it be that my Gu family has so Great Power bloodline from Ancient Tis?"
Gu Jinlai looked sowhat bewildered.
But giving it a closer thought...
The Gu family was not really a major clan, nor could it even be considered ancient.
Tracing the family tree, at most they could go back eight or nine generations.
It wasn’t connected with a long history at all.
Shaking his head, Gu Jinlai once again withdrew his gaze from his family.
The idea of descending upon them through the Void Projection Technique and communicating with them was quickly suppressed.
For one, he simply could not et with them on Blue Star at the mont.
They had already endured the pain of losing their son, and without being certain he could return to Blue Star one hundred percent, there was no need to make them hopeful and suffer anew.
On the other hand...
He was not yet aware if the "assimilation" aspect of the Void Projection Technique would bring any negative effects.
Unless they truly faced a life-threatening danger, he would not descend upon them lightly.
Secretly contacting them through Xie Yusheng and helping them discreetly was already enough.
...
"It’s good to be prepared for any eventuality. Whether the True Immortal Research Institute is actually in contact with the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect or not, any interaction, or even conflict, can only occur within the Longevity World!"
In the Lingxiao Palace, Gu Jinlai’s expression was calm.
The Immortal Taibai from the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect needed to be t with sooner rather than later.
eting him was not enough; if he sensed this Immortal Taibai from the Ten Thousand Stars Sword Sect had any ill intentions towards the Longevity World, towards Blue Star...
he must also possess the strength to suppress him.
And to gain that strength... depended on Qingguang.
With that in mind, Gu Jinlai imdiately gave an order, "Summon Liu Feiyun and Xin Tianqi to co see at the Aries Star Palace. Also, tell Zhou Yi to put aside his work for now."
"Yes."
Outside, Su Nanxing’s voice of affirmation was heard.
Gu Jinlai imdiately set out for the Aries Star Palace.
By the ti he arrived at the Aries Star Palace, Zhou Yi, Liu Feiyun, and Xin Tianqi had already been waiting for him there.
Gu Jinlai nodded to them and led them towards the interior of the Star Palace.
anwhile, he sized up Xin Tianqi.
His cultivation...
It had dropped.
Not just his, but the cultivation of cultivators in Qiantian seed generally lower.
However...
It was not a big problem.
Before heading to the Holy Dynasty, he planned to visit the Chen Domain ntioned in the mory of the Aries Star Lord, where there was a cave residence prepared by the Aries Star Lord for a resurgence in case of danger, containing an abundance of various resources and Divine Weapons.
With those Divine Weapons, he could quickly cultivate quite a few Saint Level forces.
This force might not be enough for attacking cities and plundering territories, but it would be adequate for defending Qiantian.
"The main task for my return to Qiantian this ti is because my previous departure was rushed. I’m back to arrange specific matters for the coming period, and now that things are almost in place, I need to return to the Holy Dynasty. While resolving the matters there, I will also promote contact between the Holy Dynasty and the Immortal Country. Liu Feiyun will return with ,"
Gu Jinlai said, then his gaze fell upon Xin Tianqi, "After we leave, handling various matters will fall upon your shoulders."
"Handling affairs is no issue, but..."
Xin Tianqi hesitated slightly as he glanced towards Yellow State, or rather, in the direction of Tianhe, "Once you leave, Palace Master, those guests from Immortal Country might not remain as compliant as they are now."
"Don’t worry, I will leave behind the Heavenly Dragon Wood. Additionally, I will also monitor Lingxiao Palace from ti to ti through the Void Projection Technique. What you need to be cautious of is their sudden movents."
Gu Jinlai stated, then looked at Zhou Yi, "However, I have already made preparations for this. Co with ."
While speaking, he traversed through a doorway with Zhou Yi, entering a space that, until now, even the Artifact Spirit Purple Sun did not have the qualifications to enter.
"I’ve left you with a trump card that is sufficient to deal with a True Immortal!"
