CHAPTER 919: CHAPTER 735: IMMORTAL GOLDEN IMMORTAL CORPSE

Immortal Golden Immortal, the cultivation limit that almost all cultivators can reach.

Although above the Immortal Golden Immortal, there are the legendary sources of the Three Thousand Great Dao—the Daoist Ancestors, since the birth of the Immortal System, no one has ever known how to achieve Daoist Ancestor, to become one of the sources of the Three Thousand Great Dao.

Thus, almost everyone accepted this statement by default.

The end of the Immortal Dao is the Immortal Golden Immortal.

And the Immortal Golden Immortal...

Indeed, they have demonstrated their truly eternal and immortal traits.

Having fully mastered a Great Dao, unless their Divine Soul and consciousness are annihilated from the root, even if they are killed ten thousand times, a hundred million times, they will not truly die.

They coexist with the Great Dao. As long as the Great Dao is not destroyed, the Golden Immortal remains immortal.

The corpse of this Immortal Golden Immortal before us is the best example.

Not being directly "purged" by a Daoist Ancestor, although his consciousness has been annihilated and perished, the corpse still hovers in the cosmic starry sky, drifting day after day, year after year, even attracting countless surrounding dust over eons to eventually form a star—Demon Realm.

One billion years!

What an astonishing measure of time this is!

Great Dao Golden Immortal, famously everlasting!

Those with a 90% compatibility with the Great Dao can reside in the world for 90,000 years!

If aided by some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to prolong their life, they might even break their shackles, living to 100,000 years!

But...

Tens of thousands of years is the limit any Great Dao Golden Immortal’s lifespan can reach.

No matter how supreme his power, ruling countless realms, equal to a Human Emperor, and capable of extending his life using countless Secret Techniques and Treasures to 100,000, 110,000, or 120,000 years, he will definitely not live past 200,000, or even 150,000 years!

Ninety percent...

Even with a 99% matching degree with the Great Dao, one still cannot resist the erosion of time.

Like a dam without a source but with a crack, even if the leak is tiny, it can still dry up the dam.

It’s merely a matter of time.

But the Immortal Golden Immortal...

That is true eternal immortality!

As long as they aren’t deliberately cultivating some extremely powerful Daos like the Destruction Dao, Slaughter Dao, Reincarnation Dao, or Dao of Fate, which are frequently purged, a typical Immortal Golden Immortal’s lifespan can reach the terrifying number of "billion."

Because among the Three Thousand Great Dao, most Daoist Ancestors only purge their own Dao after a billion years.

A billion years, a hundred thousand years!

How vast is the difference in lifespan?

It exceeds ten times even between a Great Dao Golden Immortal and a True Immortal!

The endless years allow the Immortal Golden Immortals to cultivate the Immortal Techniques, which even the Great Dao Golden Immortals do not have much energy to comprehend or practice, to the pinnacle.

Similarly, for a Great Dao Golden Immortal, owning one or two Immortal Artifacts is considered rich, but Immortal Golden Immortals can casually bring out hundreds or thousands of Immortal Artifacts to form a set.

Who among the Great Dao Golden Immortals could withstand the power of hundreds of Immortal Artifacts striking down?

This is akin to one person earning a hundred thousand a year, while another earns two hundred thousand, seemingly not a huge difference, but the former, working forty years in a lifetime, can only amass four million assets, barely buying a house, marrying, and living, whereas the latter, working for forty thousand years, has assets soaring to eight billion!

In such circumstances, the ultimate gap between a Great Dao Golden Immortal and an Immortal Golden Immortal far exceeds countless people’s imaginations.

In fact, many Immortal Golden Immortals don’t even view Great Dao Golden Immortals with much regard.

Just like ordinary people, they wouldn’t meaningfully interact much with a lifeform destined to live only a month.

Perhaps before they get acquainted, he is already dead.

Over time, naturally, they become indifferent.

Gu Jinlai looked at the corpse of the Immortal Golden Immortal, observing continuously.

Many thoughts emerged in his mind.

He contemplated his current Spiritual Realm, pondering the Perfect Nine-layered Heaven he has yet to collapse into a black hole, discerning the differences among the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal, the Great Dao Golden Immortal, and the Immortal Golden Immortal.

After a long while, he let out a long breath.

"Even though the Great Sun Core constantly operates, its operation is guided by me. Without my activation, the Great Sun Core will gradually become dormant, just as the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal, even if they bear nine kinds of Heavenly Dao, need to activate the Power of Heavenly Dao one by one when they want to engage in battle, unlike the Great Dao... which can descend with just a thought... because, the Power of Dao pervades every corner of the universe, inherently forming this part of the universe..."

Gu Jinlai muttered to himself.

The Power of Dao is essentially the Power of Universe.

And the Constant Star Power, fundamentally, is the Fusion Power.

A force released through matter transformation.

Anti-Matter, likewise.

It is also through energy transformation and release.

But Black Hole is different.

Its most formidable aspect is no longer the temperature or energy it contains; its most terrifying aspect is gravity!

It is the power of devouring!

A terrifying force directly pointing to the Devouring Dao.

"The Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty clearly specializes in the Devouring Dao, which is why they focus on researching the Black Hole Reactor, as they believe they are more suited to achieving a breakthrough in that direction. However, they inherited the Daoist tradition of the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns; the Devouring Dao is not the only one. From their research into the Anti-Matter Reactor, they are also exploring the Destruction Dao, attempting to use the Devouring Dao to swallow everything, then transform it into energy through the Power of Destruction Dao, unleashing unparalleled destructive power..."

Enlightenment flashed through Gu Jinlai’s mind.

Immortal Golden Immortals are not limited to cultivating only one Great Dao.

Ordinary people can choose to take on multiple roles, and some Immortal Golden Immortals who have mastered clones and Secret Techniques can naturally use these methods to avoid interference from their primary Great Dao on the secondary Great Dao, allowing them to cultivate a second Great Dao.

When the compatibility with the second Great Dao reaches 100%, and there’s no longer a concern of being annexed by the primary Great Dao, plus the powerful Divine Sense Ability of an Immortal Golden Immortal can suppress conflicts between the two Great Daos, they can then utilize the power of both Great Daos simultaneously.

Of course, obtaining such strong power comes at a corresponding price.

The probability of being purged by a Daoist Ancestor doubles.

At this moment, Gu Jinlai vaguely realized that the strong and noble among the Immortal Golden Immortals are called Immortal Venerables.

Perhaps...

Immortal Venerable refers to an Immortal Golden Immortal who has mastered two Great Daos.

Upon this realization, he turned his gaze back on himself once again.

Through observing the corpse of the Immortal Golden Immortal, he had already realized the key to the Transformation of the Great Sun Core.

"Devouring Dao."

Gu Jinlai pondered: "But it’s not just a pure Devouring Dao; within it should be the embryonic form of the Destruction Dao, and possibly even..."

He considered his understanding of celestial bodies like black holes: "Could it also involve the Creation Dao?"

Therefore, by using the black hole as the foundation of the Dao and expanding it continuously in the future, this would be equivalent to directly laying the foundation for three Great Daos?

To put it more plainly...

Does this boy have the bearing of an Immortal Venerable?

Shaking his head, Gu Jinlai still stepped forward, his powerful Divine Sense wrapping around the corpse of the Immortal Golden Immortal, preparing to store it in his storage ring.

However, upon attempting this, he immediately felt the Storage Ring space shaking violently, with the internal space on the verge of collapse.

Gu Jinlai paused and quickly realized something: "Even if an Immortal Golden Immortal is dead, as long as they haven’t been purged by a Daoist Ancestor, the power of the Great Dao still exists on their body, and its essence remains at the Great Dao level. The storage rings available on the market are mostly refined from Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures containing Mysterious Space traits. Only a few have inscriptions related to the Space-type Heavenly Dao, and in order to store the corpse of an Immortal Golden Immortal, one would need an Immortal Artifact containing the Space Avenue."

Wang Xuanjing’s Breaking Space Mirror belongs to the category of Immortal Artifacts containing the Space Avenue, but the power of the Space Avenue within it is only used for traversing space and lacks any Divine traits for storing items, so it likely cannot take this Immortal Golden Immortal’s corpse.

All Living Beings Furnace is not an Immortal Artifact specializing in storage either.

As it stands...

To bring this Immortal Golden Immortal’s corpse back to Blue Star, does he need to drag it back by flying?

Gu Jinlai glanced at the cosmic starry sky filled with scattered star fragments around him and shook his head.

The Longevity World...

Or rather, the Immortal System measures the distances between worlds not in light years, but by the overlapping points of the Space Avenue, where one overlap counts as one unit of distance.

Despite the Longevity World and the Demon Realm being separated by just one overlapping point, the distance between the two worlds can still reach tens, hundreds, or even thousands of light years.

Even if Gu Jinlai accelerated this Immortal Golden Immortal’s corpse to the speed of light, it would still take at least several decades to fly.

It’s meaningless.

As for constructing a Realm Gate...

Forget about the Longevity World; even in the Xuanhuang Realm, there’s no technology to build a Realm Gate capable of accommodating an Immortal Golden Immortal.

After pondering for a moment, Gu Jinlai’s Divine Thought spread out and soon found Wang Xuanjing: "Before the closure of the Profound Immortal Realm, it was in contact with surrounding worlds. Do you know anyone with a Storage Immortal Artifact?"

"Storage Immortal Artifact?"

Wang Xuanjing was slightly startled, then quickly said, "As far as I know, both the Shu Guang Realm and the Purple Dragon Realm possess Storage Immortal Artifacts."

"Shu Guang Realm? Purple Dragon Realm?"

Gu Jinlai pondered slightly.

It seems that the Shu Guang Realm is the next world to be devoured by the Xuanhuang Alliance?

However, since the Xuanhuang Alliance has already altered its course towards the Space Tunnel, this world has luckily survived.

"Then let’s go to the Shu Guang Realm."

Gu Jinlai said, "Request that the Realm Gate of the Profound Immortal Realm be recalibrated, and we shall proceed there."

"Understood."

Wang Xuanjing acknowledged: "After the Realm Gate is calibrated, it takes a year to open, but if you, Sacred God Jiang, utilize the Breaking Space Mirror, we could go there in about three months."

"Then let’s wait for three months."

Gu Jinlai nodded: "During these three months, I’ll handle the affairs of the Longevity World thoroughly."

He glanced at the corpse of the Immortal Golden Immortal...

This is a Treasure worth hundreds of Immortal Artifacts.

Even though the universe is vast and the probability of it being discovered is extremely low, Gu Jinlai still feels a bit uneasy before it’s taken away.

After thinking for a bit, he directly said to Wang Xuanjing: "Go back with Zhao Xi, properly reorganize the order in the Longevity World, and communicate with me through Liu Feiyun if there’s anything. I need to retreat for a period."

"Understood."

Wang Xuanjing nodded.

With that, Gu Jinlai once again instructed Zhao Xi on some details.

Mainly about implementing new systems in the Longevity World.

After finishing the instructions, Wang Xuanjing and Zhao Xi left.

And Gu Jinlai...

It was also the right time to carefully observe the corpse of this Immortal Golden Immortal and prepare for the Transformation of the Great Sun Core from a constant star to a black hole.
