Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal-Chapter 791 - 684: Son of the World

"The Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty severely damaged that Evil God?"

Luo Jiuxiao was taken aback before instinctively wanting to object, "But according to the Memory Jade Scroll left by our senior in the Profound Immortal Realm, it was clearly..."

"The Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty, Profound Immortal Realm, and other worlds haven’t fully entered the End of Dharma Age, which is the best example."

Gu Jinlai said, "Moreover, the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty has always been the dominator of this star domain, with a depth of background far beyond what the Xuanyuan Sword Sect could imagine. Who knows if they had some ancient treasure from Ancient Times that turned the tide, after all, the earliest tale that spread out claimed that the Evil God was indeed defeated by the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty."

"This might just be the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty embellishing their achievements..."

Luo Jiuxiao said.

"Is there not a possibility that this very thought of yours is exactly what other worlds truly want you to believe?"

Gu Jinlai said, "After all, for a thousand years the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty has attacked and annihilated world after world, already having moved from a star domain central force that was once admired and longed for by you all to a fear-inspiring tyrannical dragon. The Alliance Hierarch of the Xuanhuang Alliance, once a figure of high reputation who could muster a vast assembly just by raising his arm, is now viewed by you as a madman. With a little guidance, naturally, you will reject all their achievements."

"What are you trying to say?"

Luo Jiuxiao frowned.

"I want what you’ve told me, if I remember correctly, you said earlier that the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty’s losses were more severe than those of the Profound Immortal Realm?"

Gu Jinlai said.

"The battlefield was in the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty, and moreover, doesn’t the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty’s heavy losses further prove their defeat?"

"No, daring to set the battlefield within the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty, to me, is itself a kind of confidence, a belief that they, relying on their own arrangements and trump cards, would not fail easily."

Gu Jinlai said this and then paused slightly in his tone, "Besides, a thousand years ago when the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty rushed the construction of the Immortal Cave Heaven, a major event also happened in the True Spirit Realm of the Longevity World exactly a thousand years ago."

It could be a coincidence.

But Gu Jinlai couldn’t help but ponder deeply.

However, Luo Jiuxiao couldn’t understand what Gu Jinlai meant, and with furrowed brows said, "What exactly are you trying to say? Even if you tell me that the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty repelled the Evil God, the price they paid and the reality of their defeat don’t make much difference, which is evident from the almost ten thousand years they spent plundering the Spirit Mechanism of all worlds to forge the Immortal Cave Heaven."

"From the possibility that the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty truly defeated and severely damaged the Evil God we can see, the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty truly was just a tiny bit away from real success. So why must we live skulking and anxious? Why not simply find a way to fill in that ’little bit’ of deficiency?"

Gu Jinlai said.

"Even if what you say is true, the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty really was just a little bit away from success, but... can the current situation be the same as it was back then?"

Luo Jiuxiao was puzzled, "Ten thousand years ago, this star domain centered around the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty was so mighty, the Spirit Mechanism of all realms was abundant to the extreme, nearly every world had one or several, even a dozen Great Dao Golden Immortals, with the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty having hundreds of them. But now... due to the scarcity of Spirit Mechanism and the downgrading of worlds, even the stronger Profound Immortals struggle with their daily consumption, let alone Great Dao Golden Immortals. Under these circumstances, on what grounds can we replicate the same glory as back then?"

"On what grounds?"

Gu Jinlai spoke calmly.

Just now, he had been thinking, with the strength of the Xuanhuang Alliance, an alliance that gathered together the forces of all realms, yet they were unable to do anything against that Evil God, and he wanted to resolve it, to save the Longevity World...

On what grounds!?

In the end, he focused his attention on the Spirit World, that slowly rising blue lotus that seemed to contain countless mysteries.

He had his answer.

"On me!"

"..."

Luo Jiuxiao was speechless.

Even though Gu Jinlai had shown himself to be incredibly powerful, an Eight Heavens Profound Immortal, perhaps even a Nine Heavens Profound Immortal, also wielding powerful Immortal Techniques, placed in the Xuanyuan Sword Sect of ten thousand years ago, he would still have been one of the top existences, second only to the Patriarchs.

Yet, to use such strength to oppose the Evil God that once crushed the entire Xuanhuang Alliance...

"Sacred God Jiang, you must be joking..."

"I am not joking, I know you think that I am as futile as a mantis trying to stop a chariot in facing that Evil God."

Gu Jinlai looked at him, "But... the Evil God has not fully awakened yet, we still have time."

"It’s good to have confidence, and the Innate Sacred Path even leads directly to the Great Dao Golden Immortal. As long as you have enough resources to support you along this path, you will eventually become a Great Dao Golden Immortal, but..."

Luo Jiuxiao clearly didn’t want to get to the point of a mutual destruction where both Jade and Stone burn together, still earnestly advising, "Not to mention the exceedingly long growth period of the Innate Sacred, even if you ultimately do reach the end of this path and become a Great Dao Golden Immortal, facing that extremely powerful and ancient Evil God, who at least is an Immortal Golden Immortal, and even among Immortal Golden Immortals is considered immensely strong... it still makes no difference."

"Does Venerable Daoist Luo know how old I am?"

Gu Jinlai suddenly said.

"Age..."

Luo Jiuxiao was stunned and then as if he had realized something, his pupils suddenly constricted.

Age!?

The age of this Supreme Elder of the Creation Gate...

Seems not to exceed a hundred years old!?

To be precise, fifty-three!?

Fifty-three-year-old Eight Heavens Profound Immortal!?

As this thought emerged in his mind, resonating like a giant bell, it left him momentarily dizzy with the revelation.

"If I say that my current achievements are all due to my own efforts, would you believe it?"
