CHAPTER 1030: CHAPTER 782: SECLUDED CULTIVATION FOR 100 YEARS (PART 2)

But when it comes to battle prowess, there isn’t a single weakling.

"Gu Jinlai? The Family Head actually allowed Yiren to become his Daoist Companion?"

Qin Yuyan looked at the relevant information on Gu Jinlai.

Focusing on key information such as his Tenth-Rank Divine Sense and being one hundred and thirty years old.

"Indeed, he is outstanding, but whether he is worth the Family Head’s immense effort in nurturing him, we still need to observe his future performance. Although one hundred and thirty years old is young, he has clearly encountered great fortune. If this fortune contains a large number of top Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures... it might not be impossible to mold such a genius within a century."

Qin Yuyan said.

"What is the Family Head thinking? Isn’t Wan Wuya’s talent stronger than Gu Jinlai’s? Moreover, Yiren sent Wan Wuya to our Yanhuang Star Domain with the purpose of honing him through the Military Department, hoping he would soon achieve immortality. As long as he can achieve immortality, it should be enough to change the Family Head’s mind! Currently, the Family Head having Yiren form a Daoist Companion bond with Gu Jinlai is not pushing this Immortal Seed, Wan Wuya, away?"

Qin Zhengfang frowned, looking somewhat puzzled.

"The Family Head’s ability to discern people is beyond doubt. As for Wan Wuya... he is very adept at seizing any opportunity, which is an advantage. Once he has an opportunity, he can rise quickly, but it’s also a disadvantage; those with deep schemes and complex thoughts will find it difficult to achieve immortality."

Qin Yuyan calmly said: "The younger one’s age, the higher the hope for achieving immortality because their minds are pure. A pure will significantly aids in the breakthrough to immortality. On the other hand, those who have lived too long, with deep and complex thoughts, even if they remain calm, can never achieve ten-tenths tranquility, thereby unable to take that step from 99% to 100% compatibility."

"You don’t think Fang Wuya can become an Honorable Daoist?"

Qin Zhengfang was somewhat surprised: "Then why entrust him with important responsibilities?"

"I did not entrust him with important responsibilities, just maintained fairness and justice, that’s all. It’s just that he is good at maneuvering and seizing opportunities, which allowed him to rise quickly and occupy a high position."

Qin Yuyan looked at Qin Zhengfang: "I know, Fang Wuya is very close to you, and he seems to exhibit enough personal charm, getting along well with everyone, but you must remember, a tiger never travels in packs; in cultivation, one truly relies only on oneself."

She gazed calmly into the distant starry sky: "Cultivation is a very personal matter. Long ago, there was no concept of Divine Union Cultivation. Although there were few Immortal Golden Immortals back then, each had the potential of a Thousand Epochs, even Immortal Venerable. When one plans to rely on external forces in cultivation, they’ve already found it hard to achieve absolute purity."

Qin Zhengfang listened to the words of this family Immortal, hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Zhengfang was taught a lesson."

He could tell, in Qin Yuyan’s eyes, Qin Yiren, Fang Wuya, and Gu Jinlai were all treated equally, without any distinction.

He was the only one who deserved an extra word of guidance from this elder.

...

Changqing Island.

Gu Jinlai flipped through the numerous ancient texts sent by the Qin family one after another.

The Qin family, with its inheritance spanning billions of years, had birthed over twenty Immortal Golden Immortals in history.

The accumulation of billions of years is not only reflected in collected books but also in personal relations.

A vast network of relationships makes it easy for them to obtain many cultivation insights and essays of Immortal Golden Immortals.

And all these insights, essays, and experiences, collected over the long years, fell into Gu Jinlai’s hands, greatly expanding his vision and perspective.

Under the depiction of these books, the various mysteries of the Great Dao Golden Immortal unfolded slowly before him.

Especially those concerning destruction and space avenues, relying on Qinglian Degradation, there were almost no secrets left for him.

"Chi Tianyuan’s Destruction Dao compatibility should be between 97% to 98%, and the Space Dao compatibility, even if not reaching 99%, isn’t far off."

Gu Jinlai concluded.

One has to say, this Supreme Golden Immortal is indeed formidable.

No wonder he dares to have the courage to wrestle to the death with that obviously extraordinary Divine Calamity, Yuan Mou.

"Additionally, in the path of Divine Sense, from the tenth to the eleventh rank, the eleventh to the twelfth rank, I have comprehended a good portion. If Clear Light were used to improve it, the number of resources consumed would probably be reduced by half."

Gu Jinlai pondered.

Half!

Tens of thousands of Clear Light.

If accounting for the advancement from the eleventh to the twelfth rank, that’s at least hundreds of thousands.

This method of indirectly obtaining "Clear Light" is not much more efficient than hunting Divine Spirits?

"Almost time to properly enhance the Great Dao compatibility..."

Gu Jinlai, after handling affairs, did not engage much with Qin Yiren.

And that Qin Yiren seemed to maintain her aloofness, never bothering him proactively.

This cold and proud attitude greatly pleased and admired Gu Jinlai, and he hoped she would maintain it always.

With great Dao compatibility insights and Divine Sense enhancement experiences that Qin family occasionally sent, Gu Jinlai embarked on the longest seclusion since entering the cultivation world.

This seclusion lasted exactly one hundred and nine years!

Not fifty or sixty years, but as long as a hundred and nine years.

It far exceeded Gu Jinlai’s hundred-year expectation by nine years.

The reason it exceeded by nine years was that originally, Gu Jinlai estimated the Space Dao and Destruction Dao at nine-tenths.

If he only aimed to increase the compatibility of these two Great Daos to ninety percent, based on the cultivation experiences continuously provided by the Qin family over these years, it would have been accomplished by the thirtieth year of seclusion.

But the compatibility of Chi Tianyuan’s Space Dao and Destruction Dao happened to be astonishingly high.

At least for now, one reached 97%, the other 96%, still without touching the limit.
