CHAPTER 940: CHAPTER 746: CHANCE ENCOUNTER (PART 2)

It’s probably like driving a vehicle along a country road at night.

At most, you need to maintain a relatively fast speed, so there’s an element of danger.

But since the distance isn’t far, as long as you stay fully alert, it’s not impossible to complete the journey safely.

"Everyone, go ahead, I’ll be back in several years."

Gu Jinlai said without too much formalities or sentimentality.

After giving his instructions, he took a step forward and entered the Realm Gate.

However, unlike past entries which would lead to the Profound Immortal Realm or Blue Star, this time, upon entering the Realm Gate, he immediately sensed the twenty or so worlds he had perceived previously.

While perceiving the locations of these worlds, he was also cross-referencing the star map given to him by Star Lord Tian Xiang, seeking relatively safe space passages to these worlds.

However...

Just as he was searching for a safer passage, he seemed to sense something.

"Is a passage in the process of forming? The target... Longevity World?"

Gu Jinlai was taken aback.

He searched carefully, and shortly after, confirmed his earlier discovery.

Indeed, someone, or a force, was constructing a Realm Gate to establish a passage to Longevity World.

Specific location...

It leaned towards the Qiantian Sea area.

Moreover, the time spent on establishing the passage was less than a year, so the passage wasn’t fully stable, and thus Longevity World hadn’t detected any anomalies from their side.

"Which force dares to scheme against Longevity World? All World Alliance? Golden Immortal Alliance?"

Gu Jinlai furrowed his brow.

No.

If it were the All World Alliance or Golden Immortal Alliance, they would target the Profound Immortal Realm.

After all, when he was traveling outside, he consistently used the identity of a Golden Immortal from Xuanyuan Sword Sect.

Thinking for a moment, Gu Jinlai examined the direction the passage was heading...

Towards the New Fire Star Sea?

"Since the direction leans towards the New Fire Star Sea, I might as well go and take a look; it won’t affect my journey. Besides, if they’re indeed plotting against Longevity World and I deliberately ignore it, by the time I return three years later, Longevity World could already be in ruins."

Gu Jinlai immediately summoned the Breaking Space Mirror.

At this moment, he has already achieved the cultivation of a Great Dao Golden Immortal.

In his battle with Huan Ming and others, he had proven that his combat strength is not inferior to top-tier Golden Immortals.

This level of strength...

As long as he doesn’t encounter an Immortal Golden Immortal, he can mostly ensure his own safety without worry.

And Immortal Golden Immortals are mostly concentrated around the Heart of the Cosmic, and the chances of encountering such powerful beings in other Star Domains are extremely low.

If he truly encounters one...

He could simply break open the space and leave.

The risk bears little difference to what he’s about to do.

With this thought, Gu Jinlai swiftly traversed through the forming space passage.

After a brief period of traversing, the surrounding space became noticeably stable.

When Gu Jinlai followed the Space Power to the source of this Realm Gate, the flow of Space Power became extremely tranquil.

He expended almost no effort, stepping directly out of the Realm Gate that was already constructed, but hadn’t completed its alignment.

As Gu Jinlai reversed his path through the space passage carved by the Realm Gate, those on the other side clearly had sensed something.

Thus, the first thing Gu Jinlai saw emerging from within was a formation of troops treating this as a major threat...

"Hmm!? Holy Spirits!?"

Gu Jinlai recognized them with just a glance.

Without exception, the hundreds of figures appearing before him were all Holy Spirits.

The special waves formed from the convergence of group willpower were discernible to him even by "looking".

No!

There was more than just Holy Spirits!

With a sweep of his gaze, he quickly overlooked the masses, resting on the hundred-meter-tall figure, as if cast in gold, resembling a statue in the far rear.

A rainbow-like seven-colored radiance circled behind it, radiating outwards in rings.

This was imagery left behind by the continuous convergence of the Will of All Living Beings, purified and forged by the "Great Dao" power on its body.

A being possessing such might...

"Demigod!?"

Gu Jinlai’s expression slightly tensed.

The Evil God System harbors Divine Calamities.

Within the Divine Spirit System, there’s also a practice where a Divine Spirit grants a portion of its Divine Country’s authority to a Holy Spirit, cultivating it into a powerful Subordinate God.

Such a Holy Spirit, possessing a portion of the Divine Country’s authority and an immensely vast Divine Will, though its power stems from Divine Spirit allocation and doesn’t count as a true Divine Spirit, is thus termed a Demigod.

Half-spirit, half-god.

So, had he entered the lair of a group of Divine Spirits?

"These Holy Spirits..."

Gu Jinlai quickly realized something, his powerful Divine Thought surged like a storm towards the Holy Spirits present.

In an instant, he locked onto one particular Holy Spirit.

Although this Holy Spirit’s aura had changed, Gu Jinlai recognized it immediately.

"Cangming?"

At the same time, he also realized why this battalion of Holy Spirits, including a Demigod, would mobilize to connect to Longevity World and scheme against it.

"Lingxiao Palace Master!"

The Demon Lord Cangming beside the Demigod... or rather, the Saint Spirit Cangming also recognized Gu Jinlai at first glance, promptly saying, "Your Highness Xiang Feng, our greatest obstacle to refining that Divine Calamity is him."

"Capture him! If he dares resist, kill without mercy!"

Upon hearing Cangming’s words, a heavy will swept out in all directions.

Evidently, it was the Demigod speaking.

Immediately, the Divine Wills of the other Holy Spirits activated simultaneously, a terrifying spiritual oppression crashed in like a tsunami.
