CHAPTER 974: CHAPTER 760: TIER 10

Gu Jinlai closed his eyes, focusing on nurturing his Divine Sense.

He couldn’t even spare a thought for the battle between Chi Tianyuan and Divine Calamity Yuan Mou, instead letting his mind empty and maintaining a blank state.

In this state of emptiness, if anyone were to launch a sneak attack on him, he wouldn’t be able to react at all.

It took a long time for him to break free from this perilous state.

The Moonlight Order had been vibrating for quite a while.

But he was embroiled in a fierce battle with Nie Yu, unable to afford any distraction, leaving him no time to view the message it contained.

As his Divine Thought scanned the Moonlight Order, his expression quickly changed.

"A large number of Evil God Avatars have appeared around the Chi Yue Realm!? Rescue is impossible in the short term, either we break out on our own, or hold out for six days!?"

Six days!

The message he sent out was that they had fallen into a trap laid by one Divine Spirit, one Divine Calamity, and three Demigods, yet under these circumstances, the Cold Moon Army actually asked them to hold on for six days!?

How is that different from watching them march to their deaths!?

Gu Jinlai recalled the information leaked during the conflict between Nie Yu and Yuan Mou.

He immediately issued a message through the Moonlight Order: "Yuan Mou is not a regular Divine Calamity! It’s a special Divine Calamity crafted with great effort by the ancient Evil God Yuan Huang, designed to capture those who have mastered the Destruction Dao, Space Avenue, Nihility Dao, and Flowing Light Path, reaching the level of a Great Dao Golden Immortal!"

Seemingly worried that the Cold Moon Army and Ming Zun did not realize the severity of the situation, he further elaborated: "This Divine Calamity, once it masters the methods to degrade these Great Dao, will return to the Heart of the Cosmic with them. The Evil God Yuan Huang behind it will use these techniques as a foundation to infer how to degrade the four fundamental Immortal Laws. If it succeeds, the defenses of the Heart of the Cosmic will be in critical danger."

After sending the message, he rubbed his brow.

Such a matter concerning the safety of the Heart of the Cosmic defenses actually needs to be worried about by a mere Golden Immortal like him, truly...

He sensed his current Spiritual Realm’s weakness, recalling his passive position during the battle with Nie Yu where he was nearly powerless.

"What use is mastering the Supreme Immortal Skill? The Divine Sense Ability is completely suppressed by Divine Will, no Immortal Technique can exert any effect!"

He waved his hand forcefully: "The Spiritual Realm must be elevated!"

With that, he split his Divine Sense, directing it around the Spirit World, near Qing Lian.

A Demigod, provided him with thousands of Qingguang.

And a Divine Spirit...

Gu Jinlai glanced at the Qingguang around Qing Lian, seemingly tinged with some kind of Divine color, quickly deducing a number.

An unprecedented number.

"Eighteen thousand three hundred forty-four."

This number...

Gu Jinlai invested it into the dim and lightless Galaxy Map without hesitation.

The Qingguang flushed.

Instantly, the originally dim Galaxy Map started to glow rapidly, as if truly transforming into a brilliant Star River.

By consuming less than a thousand Qingguang, his Divine Sense Ability that had fallen to the Fifth Rank quickly recovered, returning to Seventh Rank.

Indeed, the cost of re-cultivating is much smaller than normal advancement.

The last time he elevated the Galaxy Map to the Star River Chapter, completing the breakthrough from Sixth to Seventh Rank, he spent more than three thousand Qingguang.

But...

This is only the beginning.

With a large influx of Divine Sense Ability, Gu Jinlai’s Spirit Level continued to climb.

In a trance, his perspective seemed to transcend Stars, surpass Star Rivers, standing from an incomparably vast viewpoint, overlooking the boundless starry sky before him.

The gravitational balance between each Star, the rotation around each Constant Star, and the Constant Star being dragged forward in the Galaxy, all the while galaxies sway, completing their rotation in epochs of billion years.

In this immersion, time flowed by rapidly.

Thirty thousand years, sixty thousand years, a hundred and twenty thousand years...

And his Spiritual Realm kept ascending with the passage of time.

Eighth Rank, Ninth Rank, then...

After enduring a long solitude lasting sixty thousand years, the operation of the galaxy in front of him seemed devoid of any Mysteriousness, and his Divine Sense naturally broke through the confines, ascending to the Tenth Rank.

However, the Tenth Rank is still not the limit.

When the workings of the galaxy became clear before his eyes, he directed his gaze towards the universe’s center.

That place is said to be the origin of the Three Thousand Great Dao, the source of the cosmic birth—Heart of the Cosmic.

Then, he arrived in this region enveloped by the Three Thousand Great Dao, allowing the chaotic bombardment of the Three Thousand Great Dao upon his Divine Sense, and attempting to align and smooth the operations of these Great Dao with his Divine Sense.

In this collision and honing between the Divine Sense and the Three Thousand Great Dao, his Divine Sense became more tenacious and powerful.

Yet even when the last Qingguang was consumed, his Spirit Level remained within the Tenth Rank.

Gu Jinlai closed his eyes.

The Qingguang had already dissipated.

But his consciousness still immersed in the contemplation of Star River’s operation, colliding and intertwining with the Three Thousand Great Dao.

Observing the operation of Star River, allowing his thought and consciousness to refine along each star’s rotation within the galaxy significantly enhanced his Divine Sense strength.

And the endless intertwining and collision with the Three Thousand Great Dao provided him a completely new understanding of these Great Dao.

"The limit of Divine Sense Ability is the Tenth Rank..."

Gu Jinlai murmured to himself.

Just like the ultimate of the Great Dao, which corresponds to the Immortal Golden Immortal.

The Divine Sense Ability halts growth at the Tenth Rank.

Beyond this, the so-called advancement to Eleventh Rank of the Divine Sense is not about the total amount of Divine Sense, but proficiency, utilization with the Great Dao, as well as the purity of the Divine Sense Ability.
