CHAPTER 896: CHAPTER 726: TALENT (PART 2)

In just three days, over ninety percent of his assistants, drivers, and entourage had been replaced by young women.

Moreover, the number of invitation letters he received each day was innumerable, all sent by individuals of significant global influence.

Even presidents and kings from various countries, accompanied by their children and princesses, flew over from afar just to have dinner with Xie Yusheng.

Such changes, even if Xie Yusheng had mentally prepared for them in advance, were still somewhat overwhelming.

...

Gu Jinlai did not interfere much in this regard.

At this time, he was walking in incarnation form on the streets of Nankai City, watching the figures appearing in the distance.

Although he was merely an incarnation, with his current Spiritual Realm level, material reorganization was no challenge, leaving ordinary people unable to notice any discrepancies.

As for exposure issues...

They were not likely.

He had "soul transmigrated" into the body of a Purgatory Demon Sect Elder, and his appearance was completely different from this world’s "Gu Jinlai."

In contrast, his name had some notable features that could easily attract the attention of those with intent.

But this wasn’t a major issue.

Even in a world with as many as a hundred or eighty people named "Gu Jinlai," they would not dare to risk any assumptions.

Especially now...

As he planned to provide them with another layer of identity protection.

"The quota of eight hundred disciples, with three from the Gu family, should not attract too much attention."

Gu Jinlai looked at his father, Gu Kaiyuan, who held his granddaughter, and his mother, An Li, as he gestured delicately.

A ray of Spirit Light directly infused into the two of them.

With these two rays of Spirit Light, during the first round of the "Cultivation Talent" assessment, the two of them, and subsequently Gu Jinlai would arrange for Gu Jinzao to definitely stand out.

However, when these two rays of Spirit Light truly entered their bodies, he suddenly discovered the speed at which his father, Gu Kaiyuan, absorbed this power...

Extremely fast.

It was more than ten times faster than An Li.

This change slightly stunned Gu Jinlai, and then he carefully probed into it.

With his current Cultivation Realm, he could clearly examine a person’s physical condition at the cellular level.

As he delved deeper into his observation, it wasn’t long before he slightly sensed the differences between Gu Kaiyuan and An Li.

In layman’s terms, Gu Kaiyuan had more "talent" than An Li.

"Talent..."

Gu Jinlai couldn’t help but think of a point mentioned in conversations with Chao Jiuyin and others back in the day.

Over the years, it wasn’t just one or two hundred people on Blue Star who, by chance or through some reason, ended up with their souls leaving their bodies and landing in the Longevity World.

After all, the number of deaths on Blue Star exceeds fifty million each year.

Only people with "talent" could accomplish this reincarnation-like rebirth process.

After telepathically sensing the differences between Gu Kaiyuan and An Li, Gu Jinlai’s Divine Thought again probed into other people.

The result...

More than ninety-nine percent of people had no "talent" to speak of.

His Divine Thought enveloped Nankai City, quickly locating his brother Gu Jinzao, as well as his uncle Gu Kaishan and other Gu Family members.

The result showed that every Gu Family member possessed that special talent.

It was merely a matter of degree.

Through a thread of Spirit Light testing, even the lowest talent among them absorbed Spirit Light at two to three times the efficiency of ordinary people, while Gu Kaishan and Gu Jinzao absorbed it at sixteen times and thirteen times, respectively.

After pondering for a while, Gu Jinlai perceived that Chao Jiuyin, as well as Zhao Yushu and Jin Sixian, who were also on Blue Star, had talents that were not inferior, absorbing Spirit Light at thirteen, twelve, and ten times, respectively.

"Father Gu Kaiyuan is even higher than Chao Jiuyin; so what is my ’talent’?"

Gu Jinlai mumbled to himself.

Unfortunately, he had no idea where his "body" was located, and according to his investigation, his "body" seemed not to be left behind at the time he crossed over, nor was it taken to the Longevity World.

Most likely...

Used by Qing Lian as "fuel" for Crossing.

"Let me see what achievements they can accomplish once entering Lingxiao Palace."

Gu Jinlai infused some more Spirit Light into a few people and silently merged into the shadows as his incarnation.

...

The construction of Buzhou Mountain Cave Heaven was in full swing.

Within just a year, the cave was successfully completed.

During this time, Lingxiao Palace in the Longevity World also experienced tremendous growth, channeling considerable resources to Lingxiao Palace at Buzhou Mountain.

With these resources, the eight hundred disciples who passed stringent assessments to enter Lingxiao Palace grew rapidly.

Their lives underwent earth-shattering changes from that point on.

Gu Jinlai observed this lightly but did not make significant interventions.

At this moment, he once again gathered Zhou Yi, Zhang Lihuo, Xia Zhongyuan, Chao Jiuyin, and even Xie Yusheng to upgrade and forge the advanced version of the Cheng Ying Mecha—Star Destroyer Mecha.

Compared to the Star Destroyer concept proposed by Xie Yusheng, this Star Destroyer Mecha not only had considerable technical support from the Xuanhuang Realm, but its engine directly reached the pinnacle of the third generation, with a power level that wasn’t inferior to Gu Jinlai’s full usage of the Sixth Layer Perfection of the Great Sun Eternal Method.

The reason they only used the power level of the Sixth Layer Perfection of the Great Sun Eternal Method wasn’t because Gu Jinlai could only optimize the Third Generation Nuclear Reactor to that extent.

After a year, utilizing the Thunder Punishment Eye perfected with Qingguang, he had thoroughly cleansed the Longevity World and the Profound Immortal Realm.
