CHAPTER 962: CHAPTER 754: EXPERIMENT_4

"The degradation ability of the Great Dao is limited, and the degree of degradation is also restricted to those cultivators at the Great Dao Golden Immortal Level... If it were an Immortal Golden Immortal, it would be possible to achieve a complete degradation of a Great Dao once and for all."

Gu Jinlai pondered.

Unfortunately, at this moment, he didn’t dare to provoke those genuine Evil Gods capable of degrading Immortal Golden Immortals.

"This small-scale skirmish is still too slow. If there could be some large-scale battlefield, preferably one that involves deploying tens of thousands of Great Dao Golden Immortals and hundreds of Immortal Golden Immortals at once, with thousands of incarnations from the Evil God side, then perhaps the degradation rate of Qing Lian’s Great Dao could improve to thirty or forty percent in one go."

Gu Jinlai contemplated.

However, the degradation quantity of the Great Dao by Qing Lian is meager, which doesn’t mean it’s entirely useless.

He casually flipped his hand, and a tome appeared in his hand.

This was a cultivation technique he exchanged for five One-star Merits—the Dark Secret Scripture.

The cultivation technique, true to its name, is a Magic Skill that follows the path of the Dark Dao.

"If I’m not mistaken..."

Gu Jinlai immersed his divine sense into Qing Lian, merging himself with it.

Such an approach, which previously held almost no significance, now brought about a completely different change to the "world" before his eyes at this moment.

Especially when he attempted to operate the Dark Secret Scripture to capture the Power of the Dark Dao, the whole process was almost effortless, encountering no bottlenecks.

Just like an Innate Sacred of the dark type, as long as he spent enough time researching, quickly within a thousand years or slowly within ten thousand years, he would surely comprehend the Dark Dao and step into the Realm of the Golden Immortal.

No!

His understanding of the Dark Dao was more profound than that of the Innate Sacred.

If the Innate Sacred is like a student aiming for the entrance examination, sure to get into a prestigious university if effort is put into studies, then he...

It’s like copying answers during an exam.

As long as he diligently copied, he was sure to get into a satisfactory school.

He might need only ten years, or at most a century, to cultivate the Dark Dao with his ability.

The Devouring Dao he mainly cultivates doesn’t interfere with or affect this endeavor.

Taking a millennium or ten millennia to cultivate one Dao is nothing for an Immortal Golden Immortal, who, even if cultivating three thousand Daos, would only need thirty million years.

At most, it would only take three million years!

Not to mention Gu Jinlai only needs three hundred thousand, or thirty thousand years.

Such a duration is negligible.

"With my accumulated knowledge in the Destruction and Space Daos, if I can ’learn’ from the Evil Gods a Magic Skill to degrade these two Daos... I might usher these two Daos into the Golden Immortal Realm within a very short time..."

Gu Jinlai took a deep breath.

But...

Whether the Space Dao or the Destruction Dao, both are ranked within the top ten Great Daos.

It’s said that until now, no Evil God has managed to degrade such Daos, making it impossible for him to learn from them.

"While the Space Dao and Destruction Dao can’t be degraded, examples exist for the formerly top-ten-ranked Creation Dao and Five Elements Great Dao being degraded. Not to mention the Slaughter Dao, Nihility Dao, and others just below the top ten..."

Gu Jinlai forced himself to calm down.

He needed to settle on the battlefield for some time.

The future held promise.

"Before that, it’s still essential to research some combinative Supreme Immortal Skills to enhance combat strength and ensure personal safety... Even Supreme Immortal Techniques could be considered."

...

In the ensuing time, Gu Jinlai delved into short-term development directions.

However, before his warship reached the Red Moon Realm, Captain Chi Tianyuan seemed to have acquired new assistance tasks, once more changing direction.

This sight again drew considerable discontent from many Golden Immortals.

Some Golden Immortals who found Gu Jinlai easier to talk to even approached him.

"This is why we are unwilling to expend all our divine sense and efforts during great battles. Many times, Chi Tianyuan doesn’t respect our opinions at all. He thinks he recovers fast and needs constant battles to temper his will to transcend the Spiritual Realm and aspire to immortality. Should others do the same? Who can withstand intense battles all the time? For safety, we naturally need to conserve some energy to prevent unexpected incidents."

This Golden Immortal was full of grievances, seemingly wanting Gu Jinlai to persuade Chi Tianyuan.

Yet, Gu Jinlai, who also wished to witness more battles between Evil Gods and Golden Immortals, chose not to engage.

This "workaholic" captain, constantly assisting everywhere and yet possessing unparalleled strength, perfectly met his current needs.
