CHAPTER 900: CHAPTER 728: RUINED SKY DEMON LORD

"Palace Master, what happened?"

Immortal Master Lingyu sensed the violent fluctuations in Gu Jinlai’s Spirit and its rapid collapse, and couldn’t help but ask.

Gu Jinlai did not respond.

The backlash of the Spiritual Power had already shaken his Soul, and he could clearly feel a special Will, as if penetrating deeply into his Soul in a way he could not comprehend.

Freedom.

Every Life is born free and should not be bound by any rules.

The pursuit of freedom is innate to any independent entity...

Gu Jinlai felt these thoughts emerge uncontrollably in his mind.

Taking advantage of the turbulence in his Spirit, they surged forth uncontrollably.

"Divine Spirit!"

Gu Jinlai’s eyes were sharp, and the remaining Qingguang over the years was directly infused into the Galaxy Map.

Instantly, the Star Cloud Chapter directly reached Mahayana.

His Spiritual Realm ascended from the Fifth Rank to the Sixth Rank.

Relying on the Spiritual Power of the Sixth Rank, he finally stabilized the turbulence at the Spiritual Level and rapidly cleared many thoughts, repelling the foreign Will that continuously penetrated and interfered with his thinking.

The Profound Immortal Realm, Longevity World, and other worlds are different from the Immortal Xuanhuang Realm.

Here, there are no constraints of the Devouring Dao, and the effect of the Spiritual Power is not as significant as imagined.

Moreover, Gu Jinlai felt that his Spiritual Power was comparable to the Fifth Stage of a Great Dao Golden Immortal, which was sufficient; hence, during the time he returned to the Longevity World, he focused his Qingguang on the Great Sun Eternal Method, hoping to quickly transform the Great Sun Eternal Method so that he could also reach the domain of Great Dao Golden Immortal in energy control.

Unexpectedly, during the investigation of the Lingyu Cave Heaven City Group, a Divine Spirit suddenly appeared, and without understanding why, he directly tracked down the God Realm of that Divine Spirit, peeping into it, only to be easily defeated by the opponent relying on their Spiritual Power.

If it weren’t for the apparent distance between the two sides, and the opponent unable to exert their Spiritual Power to the fullest, perhaps...

He might very likely have been directly "assimilated" by that Divine Spirit.

Just like he used the Void Projection Technique to "assimilate" Xie Yusheng, making him unknowingly filled with respect and reverence for him, and prioritizing everything he did for him.

"Convey my order!"

Gu Jinlai steadied his spiritual state, took a deep breath, and said, "Declare the Freedom Church as a cult! Purge the entire Freedom Church! Any member of the Freedom Church must withdraw and be dispersed; those stubbornly resisting will be dealt with as associating with demons!"

Immortal Master Lingyu already had the intention to take action against the Freedom Church; upon hearing Gu Jinlai’s words, she instantly felt invigorated: "Yes."

However, immediately after, she seemed to think of something and quickly asked, "The influence of the Freedom Church is immense. Just in our Lingyu Cave Heaven City Group, over a hundred million people have some connection to the Freedom Church; if we include other Cave Heaven City Groups, those related to the Freedom Church might number in the billions. Forcibly dissolving the Freedom Church might cause significant unrest, and if the unrest turns into a riot..."

"Suppress it directly!"

Gu Jinlai said in a deep voice, "In the following period, the Thunder Punishment Eye will not be activated. Once the Freedom Church is dispersed, as long as some people don’t take the opportunity to stir trouble, even if they bear murderous sin, the Thunder Punishment Eye will turn a blind eye."

"I understand."

With Gu Jinlai’s assurance, Immortal Master Lingyu immediately felt at ease.

At the moment, Gu Jinlai’s figure flashed.

He went to Immortal Master Lingyu’s residence to adjust his Spirit.

Meanwhile, Immortal Master Lingyu issued the order, swiftly dispatching all True Immortals to suppress and capture members of the Freedom Church in the name of "the Lingxiao Palace Master’s order."

...

"Divine Spirit!"

Gu Jinlai had thoroughly understood such life forms from the Xuanhuang Realm.

These are Immortal Golden Immortals capable of "assimilating" all living beings.

They merge their own will with the Will of All Living Beings to form a Divine Country, using it to resist the cleansing by the Daoist Ancestor.

Because ordinary living beings, once in contact with a Divine Spirit, would be affected by the "assimilation" power of the Divine Spirit, losing the qualification to "receive the Dao," never again able to prove the Dao and become an Immortal; this undermines the foundation of the Immortal Dao, leading to relentless suppression of Divine Spirits by the Immortal Dao.

This war has lasted for countless years.

Since the Great Powers of the past sealed the oldest and most powerful batch of Divine Spirits within the Heart of the Cosmic, the Immortal Dao currently holds a significant advantage in this war.

But...

That refers to the entire Immortal Camp.

Any one Divine Spirit is almost an invincible terror to worlds like the Longevity World and Profound Immortal Realm.

Even the Xuanhuang Realm likely has no guarantee that they can definitely defeat a Divine Spirit.

Just like they have no assurance they can definitely defeat an Immortal Golden Immortal.

Fortunately, the only solace now is that the Divine Spirit should be far from the Longevity World.

In other words, his true body is not in the Longevity World.

The one causing trouble in the Longevity World is likely a Holy Spirit subordinate to the Divine Spirit.

The life forms born alongside an Evil God are Evil Spirits; those born alongside a Divine Spirit are Holy Spirits.

Compared to Evil Spirits, which are considered "Returning to Void" creatures, Holy Spirits are more akin to the "Refining God" stage.

"It’s just not clear where that Holy Spirit is located, and what level of Holy Spirit it is."

Gu Jinlai’s thoughts whirled in his mind.

However, this isn’t a particularly challenging problem.

The Thunder Punishment Eye, as an Immortal Technique, inherently possesses extraordinary detection capabilities; otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to precisely locate and obliterate each person bearing Karma.
