Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal-Chapter 857 - 710 Mechanic_2

"So, he devoured countless worlds around him, and that’s why there are so many people like us, like you, standing up to resist them."

At this moment, a voice came from the yard.

Immediately after, a middle-aged man and an old man walked over together.

Gu Jinlai’s gaze fell on the two of them.

"You must be the mysterious strongman who annihilated the Hunter Squad half an hour ago."

The middle-aged man said, bowing slightly: "You can call me Pang Yuan."

"Oh, you’ve found out?"

Gu Jinlai glanced at him, then looked at the old man behind him.

This old man was the contact point for this place.

But judging by the look of him...

Clearly, he followed this middle-aged man’s lead.

"In this area of the Blue Sea, our control power is not much weaker than the Immortal True Spirit, we even knew they had already discovered our contact point, and we deliberately kept this point. Do you understand our intention?"

"Turning the tables."

Gu Jinlai glanced at the elder, whose cultivation was mediocre but was full of a decaying aura, and nodded.

It seemed the old man was a pawn willing to face sacrifice at any time.

And he had the awareness of this sacrifice.

The purpose was to wait for people like him who "rushed to the news" to join them.

"Evacuate as soon as possible."

Pang Yuan instructed the old man.

The old man nodded.

To be able to attract an outsider who defeated the Hunter Squad, it was worth the risk he took.

Even if he had to sacrifice now, he would have no regrets.

After all, everything he had was completely destroyed by the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty, living or dying made no difference.

"This is not the place for conversation, if you are willing to trust us and become one of us, please follow me. If you are unwilling to trust, you can leave directly."

Pang Yuan said.

Gu Jinlai looked at him, pondered for a moment, and chose to follow.

Right away, Pang Yuan led Gu Jinlai into the courtyard and entered an underground passage.

"Does it work?"

Gu Jinlai followed Pang Yuan, a bit surprised: "With a sweep of Divine Thought, wouldn’t this passage be exposed?"

"This place, called the Immortal Cave Heaven...well, we are used to calling it the Xuanhuang Realm, in this world, due to other forces being devoured once they leak out, only the Divine Sense, material power, is less restricted."

Pang Yuan briefly introduced: "The human body, matter has limits, so people focus on the use and development of Divine Sense Ability, but in doing so become dependent, we’ve accumulated a wealth of experience in hiding ourselves from scans of Divine Sense, and this is also why our Immortal Shadow Association persists under the capture of the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty."

Gu Jinlai listened and nodded.

He did not question these crucial matters of the Immortal Shadow Association in detail.

And Pang Yuan quickly led Gu Jinlai to a basement, where a Formation was inscribed.

The Formation’s fluctuation was not strong, but at its core, there was a crystal, from which a powerful devouring force faintly emanated.

"You first touch the Spirit Cleansing Crystal, it will cleanse the external aura on your body as best as possible, depending on the time you spent entering cultivation and comprehending the Heavenly Dao, this process varies in length."

Pang Yuan paused, saying: "I only hope that during this period, people from the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty won’t think of our stronghold and uproot it."

Gu Jinlai sensed this Formation and crystal, not detecting any danger from it.

He immediately stepped forward and touched the Spirit Cleansing Crystal with his hand.

Instantly, a coolness, containing a trace of ancient aura, flowed from the crystal, seemingly clearing some lingering traces on his body.

In just a few dozen breaths, the cooling fluctuation dissipated, returning to the Spirit Cleansing Crystal.

This scene made Pang Yuan slightly startled: "So fast!?"

Immediately, as if realizing something, he looked at Gu Jinlai with astonishment: "You...how many years did it take you from cultivating in the True Immortal Realm until now!?"

"True Immortal Realm?"

Gu Jinlai thought for a moment, then said: "I walk the Innate Sacred Path."

"Innate Sacred?"

Pang Yuan was stunned, but then realized: "No, Innate Sacred...that’s too fast! Dozens of breaths...you won’t tell me it took you less than ten years from stepping onto the Innate Sacred Path until now, will you?"

Gu Jinlai looked at this crystal, somewhat surprised.

"You’ve even figured this out?"

"Impossible!"

Pang Yuan couldn’t help but say: "To defeat the Hunter Squad, you must at least have the power of a Level 9 Mechanic...at least the strength of a Nine Heavens Profound Immortal, even if I assume you had True Immortal Realm strength at the moment you stepped onto the Innate Sacred Path, less than ten years, from True Immortal, to Nine Heavens Profound Immortal!?"

As he spoke, he stared at Gu Jinlai with a weird expression, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

His body involuntarily pulled away a bit from him.

Gu Jinlai thought it was a bit incomprehensible, but still explained sincerely: "If I said I am a one-in-a-billion genius, would you believe it?"

Pang Yuan looked utterly unconvinced.

"Alright, Pang Yuan, don’t be nervous, the Washing Crystal won’t make mistakes, he really only took a maximum of ten years to complete this growth path."

At this moment, a Divine Thought Fluctuation came, and then added: "If the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty is truly extravagant enough to use such a genius as a pawn to deal with our Immortal Shadow Association...we’d acknowledge it."
