CHAPTER 985: CHAPTER 764: ALL WORLD ALLIANCE_2

"Heh, thanks for your kind words."

Gu Jinlai replied indifferently.

In fact, this was just empty talk.

The Honorable Daoist Mansion takes pride in him?

If he can cultivate to the Immortal Golden Immortal, the Honorable Daoist Mansion would acknowledge he is one of them.

If he can’t achieve Immortal Golden Immortal, the Honorable Daoist Mansion wouldn’t recognize his status, nor could he use the reputation of the Honorable Daoist Mansion to gain any benefits.

"Those who enter the Inner Mansion are without exception geniuses, or those who emerge from the fierce competition of the Outer Mansion. Plus, those who don’t become Honorable Daoists in the Outer Mansion are not even acknowledged by the Honorable Daoist Mansion... No wonder the Immortal Golden Immortals rate of the Honorable Daoist Mansion remains high."

Gu Jinlai shook his head.

After that, he left the New Academy Hall, checking the Jade Scroll while flying towards the island he had chosen.

The island he was heading to was neither remote nor bustling.

Being situated over the sea, it can indeed be called tranquil.

However, the Great Dao Golden Immortals moved swiftly, and above the sky dome, three thousand Inner Mansion palaces revolved around the Endless Realm, making the idea of this place being truly tranquil and elegant a form of self-deception.

"Before entering the Endless Realm, I already found it peculiar that this place, being the Honorable Daoist Mansion, is rather ’lively.’ The Inner Mansion Honorable Daoists are but a few, why are there so many people? Now it seems... "

Gu Jinlai surveyed the surroundings.

Many star shuttles, starships, flying ships, or magical exotic beasts were incessantly traversing the skies.

Every star shuttle and starship almost invariably represented a Great Dao Golden Immortal and the forces behind them.

The number of Great Dao Golden Immortals in the Honorable Daoist Mansion’s Outer Mansion likely reached tens of thousands.

"It’s forty-six thousand."

Gu Jinlai said.

Zhuo Yaran had documented it in the Jade Scroll given to him.

Even though many self-funded Outer Mansion Dao Jun stayed here for ten or eight years and left when they saw no hope of entering the Inner Mansion, cos numerous Great Dao Golden Immortals flocked from all over the Heart of the Cosmic.

The Immortal Golden Immortals in the Outer Mansion of the Honorable Daoist Mansion never dropped below three hundred thousand.

At peak times, they reached over a million.

Forty-six thousand was already considered few.

"So, is the Outer Mansion of the Honorable Daoist Mansion essentially a platform!? A place where Golden Immortals from outside and within the Honorable Daoist Mansion communicate and exchange?"

Gu Jinlai reviewed the information on the Jade Scroll.

Soon, he saw the description of the Ten Thousand Techniques Tower of the Honorable Daoist Mansion.

Both those of the Inner and Outer Mansion could enter the Ten Thousand Techniques Tower to borrow books.

However, for those in the Inner Mansion, it is free, unlimited in number, and indefinite in time.

For those in the Outer Mansion, not only must spend Spirit Crystals or Enlightenment Points, but there are all kinds of additional restrictions.

"A Golden Immortal inheritance isn’t expensive, just ten thousand Enlightenment Points, with a ten-year duration, sufficient. But if I want to borrow three thousand volumes of Golden Immortal heritage..."

Gu Jinlai shook his head.

The disparity is far beyond just a mere difference.

He looked up at the sky dome, following the flow of the Three Thousand Great Dao, and at the three thousand floating palaces.

The owners of these three thousand palaces are the Honorable Daoist Mansion’s three thousand Inner Mansion Honorable Daoists, cultivating within their palaces, equating to constantly facing the Great Dao, immensely enhancing Great Dao compatibility, advancing a thousand miles a day.

Ordinary people seeking such opportunities often had to go to specialized Enlightenment Stars.

Cultivating on these Enlightenment Stars for a year costs ten thousand Enlightenment Points.

Which compares to an Immortal Artifact.

From this point, one can see the incredible benefits Inner Mansion Honorable Daoists enjoy.

"Apart from those from the Fire Cloud Palace, the Light Council, the Void Sword Sect with Great Sect Inheritors, the remaining forces, even those with stationed Immortal Golden Immortals, cannot match the cultivation environment of the Honorable Daoist Mansion. For those Golden Immortals with no background from middle and small forces or edge realms, the Honorable Daoist Mansion is practically their sole avenue to Immortal connection."

Gu Jinlai put away the Jade Scroll.

It is precisely because of the Honorable Daoist Mansion that various Overlord-level forces cannot completely monopolize cultivation techniques within their regions.

Immortal Golden Immortals from various places continue to emerge, quickly replenishing the void left by the war against the Divine Spirit and Evil God.

He glanced ahead.

The island he chose was already close at hand.

Since he’s here, he might as well settle down.

The Honorable Daoist Mansion’s platform is more leisurely compared to the front-line Military Department platform.

Moreover, it restricts less than the front-line Military Department.

Additionally, the Honorable Daoist Mansion’s Outer Mansion Dao Jun coming and going in great numbers is attributed to the Honorable Daoist Mansion taking on bounty commissions from various forces, preventing the Great Dao Golden Immortals from becoming Academic cultivators.

These bounties are released in the form of tasks, similar in nature to Sect missions from the Fire Cloud Palace, Light Council, Void Sword Sect, and secondary large forces.

The difference is that the rewards by Great Sects and top forces are diverse, while those from the Honorable Daoist Mansion mainly include Cultivation Technique, insights, Immortal Technique, and inheritance.

Although the variety is limited, the price is advantageous.

Gu Jinlai estimated that top Immortal Technique or Supreme Immortal Skill requires only three-star or four-star points to exchange, challenging cultivation is one aspect; another reason is the existence of the Honorable Daoist Mansion, holding back any attempts to inflate the costs of Cultivation Technique or Immortal Technique.

Without the fetters of Cultivation Technique, ordinary cultivators without any lineage at least won’t be pulled too far apart.

...

Gu Jinlai activated the Formation of the island and quickly descended.

Upon entering the island, a middle-aged man with an elegant demeanor soon approached.

"Welcome back."

The middle-aged man respectfully greeted: "East 1024, at your service."

"Intelligent Life?"
