CHAPTER 1015: CHAPTER 776: DAOIST COMPANION (2)

Her primary goal has always been the Inner Mansion Daoist Master.

Although she has not found a suitable candidate yet, forcing her to turn her attention to potential Outer Mansion Daoist Masters, hoping to marry them into her family.

But even with such strict conditions, many are willing to agree.

While marrying into a family may not sound appealing, in a world endowed with immense power, as long as one can achieve the title of Immortal Dao Venerable in the future, the Li Family will never neglect them, even if they are married into the family.

Upon learning that Gu Jinlai had been selected as a candidate due to his military achievements, Star Lord Tian Xiang had this idea.

Pondering this, he glanced at Li Feiyu, and then at Gu Jinlai...

"Li Feiyu’s Great Dao compatibility and background grant her a lifespan of a hundred thousand years. However, having cultivated for thirty-nine thousand years already, her spirit has been tainted by some dust, so when it comes to the matter of Daoist Companions, she can still weigh the pros and cons calmly, but... she can’t wait much longer, at most enduring another few thousand years, she must carefully choose a Daoist Companion for Divine Union Cultivation to seize the chance of becoming an Immortal Golden Immortal."

Star Lord Tian Xiang’s thoughts were clear: "And she has been observing the Inner Mansion Daoist Masters of the Honorable Daoist Mansion for fourteen thousand years but has not found a suitable cultivation partner yet, and it might still be unlikely in the next few thousand years."

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly and relaxed: "With the excellent environment of the Honorable Daoist Mansion, in another few thousand years, Daoist Gu will surely become more outstanding, even having a chance to climb into the top ten, top five, or even the top three of the candidate list... By then, Daoist Gu will not need to choose to marry into a family to gain the full support of the Li Family and enter the Inner Mansion."

A few thousand years are no big deal.

With Daoist Gu’s age, he can completely afford to wait.

This Daoist companion of mine, there’s hope for immortality.

On the Lotus Platform, Yun Xiu’s sword dance performance was indeed refreshing and invigorating.

The sword dance, approaching the Dao, naturally draws in the cultivator’s divine sense as long as they do not resist, immersing them in it.

Once the sword dance ended, even Gu Jinlai, a Golden Immortal who had cultivated for only over a hundred years, felt much more relaxed in spirit, let alone those Golden Immortals who had lived for forty or fifty thousand years, and whose spiritual energy is no longer what it used to be.

"In cultivation, after reaching the True Immortal Realm, one’s lifespan is no longer affected by physical states, but the erosion of the Power of Time on the divine sense will gradually make a cultivator’s spirit less active. For Great Dao Golden Immortals, it’s a bit better, as they can resist the erosion of time with the Power of Dao, allowing a maximum lifespan of ninety-nine thousand years, and by taking some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, they can easily enjoy a lifespan of one hundred thousand years. But for non-Golden Immortals, even a Nine Heavens Profound Immortal, living to three thousand years is considered ’long-lived’."

Gu Jinlai was somewhat sentimental.

For Golden Immortals desiring true immortality, there are only two ways.

One is to achieve Immortal Golden Immortal, fully compatible with the Great Dao, and completely resist the erosion of time with the Power of Dao.

The other method is to advance the divine sense ability to the Thirteenth Rank.

The Thirteenth to Fifteenth Ranks in the Six Paths of Spiritual Power are known as the Eternal Life Dao.

Meaning that once a cultivator’s divine sense ability reaches this realm, time cannot erode them.

However, the Tenth Rank of divine sense is already the limit, and each subsequent rank requires geometric growth in time and effort.

It’s like running a hundred meters in eleven seconds is easy, but achieving ten, nine seconds is already pushing the limits.

The Thirteenth Rank is equivalent to running a hundred meters in eight seconds, a new evolution of the species to some extent.

Only those who truly achieve immortality as Honorable Daoists, refining over a billion years, can smooth their divine sense to this level.

Of course, a billion years is just a general term.

Those geniuses who frequently experience ’sudden enlightenment,’ may only need tens of millions, even millions of years, to breakthrough their divine sense to the Thirteenth Rank "Eternal Life Dao."

The sword dance left everyone satisfied and feeling their attendance was worthwhile.

As everyone dispersed, Star Lord Tian Xiang again found Gu Jinlai: "I’ve already spoken with Lord Li. The two of you should exchange contact information, and if time permits, meet up and converse often. I believe with your charisma, it won’t be long before Li Feiyu willingly convinces her family elders to form a Daoist Companion bond with you."

After saying this, he added: "The Li Family has operated in the Hidden Dragon Star Domain for hundreds of millions of years, passing down the lineage of Immortal Golden Immortals for four generations, truly deep-rooted, and Dao尊 of Li Shaoyan is a formidable Daoist Master with Six Hundred Epoch Cultivation, far incomparable to the likes of the Ziliu Mountain Lord, and combined with their relationships in the Hidden Dragon Star Domain... If you gain the full support of the Li Family, as long as you do not perform poorly, the doors of the Inner Mansion could be almost entirely open to you."

Gu Jinlai felt it unnecessary but did not want to reject the goodwill of Star Lord Tian Xiang.

Thus, he merely replied: "I’ll consider the situation before deciding."

"Good luck."

Star Lord Tian Xiang smiled and gave him an encouraging look.

After the conversation, everyone dispersed.

Although the people dispersed, discussions centered around Gu Jinlai did not end.

On the way back, Tianshu Star Lord couldn’t help but lament: "I can’t believe that the ordinary-looking youth from a few decades ago in the Xuanhuang Palace has become so remarkable now."

"I said at the time, Daoist Gu could emerge from an ordinary world and achieve such accomplishments in just a few hundred years. If given a suitable platform, he will surely shine brightly in the future. The current situation at New Fire Star Sea is the best proof."
