"Where are the evil spirits?"
Gu Jinlai looked around in astonishnt: "Where did such a large group of evil spirits go?"
Immortal Lingyu, who ca to greet Gu Jinlai upon hearing the news, looked at him with a peculiar expression, hesitated slightly, and quickly asked, "Master Gu, has sothing happened?"
Gu Jinlai didn’t reply, he simply continued probing deeper into the True Spirit Realm.
The outco...
He wandered in the True Spirit Realm for one or two hours, but could not detect the presence of a single evil spirit.
"I’ll return to Lingxiao Palace."
Without explaining further, Gu Jinlai sent a ssage to Zhou Yi and then accelerated directly.
Using gravity, he propelled himself into the clouds, entering the vacuum beyond the atmosphere, and effortlessly increased his speed to hundreds of tis the speed of sound, quickly reaching the vicinity of the Heavenly Master Hall in Lingxiao Palace before descending directly.
As he fell toward the star, the Child of the Stars trait activated, along with Gu Jinlai’s own mind power, strong enough to interfere with the outside world. The two forces jointly made the atmosphere part as if pushed by an invisible force, so that when he entered the star, flas did not ignite around him due to intense friction.
Within minutes, he had crossed the distance between the Immortal Country and Qiantian, landing in the Heavenly Master Hall of Lingxiao Palace.
Upon his arrival at Lingxiao Palace, Zhou Yi, Zhang Lihuo, and several core Heavenly Monarchs had already gathered after receiving the news.
When they saw Gu Jinlai arriving, they all greeted him simultaneously.
"Have you checked the True Spirit Realm?"
"Evil spirits in the Qiantian Territory are incredibly scarce, and coupled with our reluctance to venture deep into the True Spirit Realm previously, we didn’t notice the decrease in evil spirits in the True Spirit Realm right away," Zhou Yi explained.
"Is this situation normal?"
Gu Jinlai asked a question.
But as soon as he asked, he realized that their understanding of evil spirits, divine calamities, and evil gods might be less than his own.
He shook his head, "I plan to probe deeper into the Spirit Realm, and you all guard the periter for to prevent any evil spirit intrusion."
"Yes."
Zhou Yi, Zhang Lihuo, Zhang Yukan, Guan Xingyun, and others agreed simultaneously.
Imdiately, Gu Jinlai concentrated his mind, and his mighty True Spirit, already far surpassing any Heavenly Monarch, stepped into the True Spirit Realm, continuously exploring deeper within.
The True Spirit Realm was never a planar entity.
Its relationship with the Longevity World was more like a sphere perating another sphere, yet this peration was not exactly enveloping.
In such circumstances, what is called venturing into the deepest part of the True Spirit Realm is, in fact, akin to entering another world.
Or rather...
A Divine Country.
As Gu Jinlai continued probing into the deeper regions of the True Spirit Realm, his own perception gradually drifted away and blurred.
But...
Even after he had ventured deep into the Spirit Realm, every place he reached was still as vast and desolate as a dead world.
He rembered that he had once reached this depth before, even briefly glimpsing a colossal evil spirit over a kiloter in size.
Yet now, all evil spirits seem to have vanished without a trace.
"Any further and it may beco dangerous."
Gu Jinlai felt the True Spirit Realm smothering his True Spirit, constantly interfering with the connection between him and his body, seemingly trying to disrupt the "coordinates" linking him to his body, preventing him from returning and leaving him eternally in this world.
He continued to scan his surroundings, seemingly aiming to spot sothing abnormal.
At that mont, a powerful spiritual fluctuation suddenly emanated from a certain depth he was exploring.
That feeling...
It was like he, located in the deep ocean, vaguely saw an undersea earthquake erupting at the edge of his vision.
"This is bad."
Compared to his body, his True Spirit was quite weak, and as the shockwaves approached, he imdiately withdrew, falling toward the reality where his body resided.
However, as he fell toward the real world, he activated his True Spirit and peered as far as he could. Dimly...
He seed to spot, at the site of the erupting earthquake, two enormous evil spirits engaged in a fierce hunt.
No!
Not a battle!
A hunt!
A terrifying evil spirit over four thousand ters long...
Was hunting a dozen powerful evil spirits between two and three thousand ters long!
"A four-thousand-ter evil spirit?!"
Gu Jinlai almost thought he was mistaken.
But when he tried to "see" the battlefield more clearly, the undersea earthquake’s spiritual shockwave, carrying brutal force, slamd into his True Spirit, nearly scattering it completely.
Gu Jinlai’s form wavered, and he extracted his True Spirit from the True Spirit Realm as quickly as possible.
Even so, when his True Spirit returned to his body, it was still extrely weak, seemingly on the verge of shattering at any mont.
"Palace Master?!"
Zhou Yi, Zhang Lihuo, and others exclaid in shock.
Gu Jinlai waved his hand and soon injected streams of Qingguang into his True Spirit.
After a while, he finally recovered his composure.
"Palace Master, in the depths of the Spirit Realm... has sothing happened?"
Zhou Yi cautiously asked only after seeing Gu Jinlai’s True Spirit stabilize.
"Sothing... has happened."
Gu Jinlai frowned, "Can the size of evil spirits... really grow over four thousand ters?"
Just as the size limit for Nine Heavens Profound Immortals rarely exceeded three thousand ters, evil spirits seed to follow a similar rule.
Evil spirits over four thousand ters...
Zhou Yi, Zhang Lihuo, and others exchanged bewildered glances.
This already surpassed the limits of their understanding.
And Gu Jinlai was rely musing to himself, not genuinely seeking their answers.
In his cultivation journey thus far, he had surpassed Zhou Yi, Zhang Lihuo, and others by too much. Even in past incidents, it was he who guided them, rather than them providing help or inspiration for him.
