Chapter 544: Chapter 540 Rational and Understanding

"I admit defeat! I admit defeat!"

Following closely behind, Master Dong Xuanzi also shouted, "The Ancient True Immortal truly deserves to be our Holy Dynasty’s sole True Immortal, with boundless mana and vast Divine Skills. We admit defeat and beg the Ancient True Immortal to show mercy."

His calls were so rushed that he did not even use Divine Thought to transmit his voice, directly reaching the ears of those Void Immortals and Saints watching from afar.

In that moment, all the Void Immortals and Saints were shaken to their core, their emotions in disarray.

Defeat!

This battle was nearly tantamount to a confrontation between the Holy Dynasty and Gu Jinlai, the alien True Immortal who had soared to prominence in recent times.

But the outcome...

The Holy Dynasty had actually lost!

Three Supreme Void Immortals had joined forces and failed to best Gu Jinlai alone!

What did this mean!?

It meant that from this day forward, within the territory of the Holy Dynasty, no one could subdue Gu Jinlai.

"How could this happen..."

"How could Duanmu Chengyun, Si Wuya, and Master Dong Xuanzi, our three great Patriarchs, lose!? Why did they lose!? This is illogical!"

"How is it possible to lose..."

Many Void Immortals from the Six Great Cave Heavens couldn’t even recover from the severe impact of this defeat.

The failure of the three Void Immortals signified that from now on, within the Holy Dynasty’s territory, their Six Great Cave Heavens were no longer supreme; they had been dethroned from their unassailable position of privilege to only oversee themselves.

"Oh."

Gu Jinlai paid no attention to the reactions of those Void Immortals and Saints from the Six Great Cave Heavens.

He simply acknowledged with a sound and glanced at Si Wuya, whose Sacred Body had been mostly eroded by two Thunder Rings.

Considering that his true purpose in coming to the Holy Dynasty was not to wage war, he gradually ceased the full operation of the Chaotic Star Light Body within him.

The trait of the Child of the Stars and the trait of magnetic field rotation also began to subside.

As he ceased these two methodologies, the rapidly spinning twin Thunder Rings gradually came to a halt and started dissipating.

It was not until the Thunder Rings had faded by more than half that Si Wuya finally recovered from the thunderous bombardment that left him immobilized.

He let out a relieved breath.

In just a few breaths’ time, he felt as though he had narrowly escaped death.

No.

It was not just a feeling; he had indeed made a narrow escape from death.

If it hadn’t been for Gu Jinlai’s mercy, perhaps today...

After regaining his senses, he looked at Gu Jinlai again, his eyes now filled with a hint of reverence.

"You are truly worthy of being the True Immortal of Li Yang Cave Heaven who fought to the last moment against the Devil. I’m grateful for the Ancient True Immortal’s mercy. I admit defeat, thoroughly convinced and willing."

He sincerely expressed his gratitude.

Unless his power greatly advanced in the future, he would never dare bare his fangs before Gu Jinlai again.

"It seems we have come to an understanding after this exchange,"

Gu Jinlai’s gaze swept across Si Wuya, Duanmu Chengyun, and Master Dong Xuanzi.

Then, with an empty gesture, he summoned the Heavenly Divine Sword and the Heavenly Element Chess, both Divine Weapons, into his hands.

"When I came into contact with these two Divine Weapons just now, I realized that I have a connection with them. With the help of these Divine Weapons, my battle power will be stronger. My strength equates to the strengthening of the Human Clan of the Holy Dynasty. Therefore, taking them with me is only right and proper."

As soon as he said this, Si Wuya and Master Dong Xuanzi’s eyes widened.

"Ancient True Immortal... this..."

"Both of us rely on the power of the Divine Weapons to compete with the Demon God. If the Ancient True Immortal takes these two Divine Weapons, wouldn’t that mean diminishing the battle power of two True Immortals from our Human Clan? Please, Ancient True Immortal, have mercy."

The two became anxious and spoke hurriedly.

"Diminishing the battle power of two True Immortals from our Human Clan?"

Gu Jinlai spoke indifferently, "The strong shall always be strong! If I have the aid of these two Divine Weapons, I will be even more assured in facing the Demon God. If I can conduct guerrilla warfare with the power of these two Divine Weapons, it is not far-fetched to hope for further eliminating two, three, or even four to five Demon Gods. How can it be said that we have diminished the True Immortal power of our Human Clan?"

"This..."

Si Wuya and Master Dong Xuanzi were left red-faced, struggling to find a way to retrieve the Divine Weapons.

Duanmu Chengyun quickly said, "Ancient True Immortal, these two Divine Weapons are not merely simple Divine Weapons; they are also key to the power arrangement of our Holy Dynasty’s Six Great Cave Heavens. It is only by using these two Divine Weapons as the control hub that we can project the Cave Heaven Power to the Inner Ring and even to various cities of the Outer Ring. Thus, we can counter the Devil’s invasion immediately. Without these two Divine Weapons, the Holy Dynasty’s defense system will certainly experience major issues. Failure to reinforce in time could have unimaginable consequences..."

"Is that so?"

Gu Jinlai frowned slightly. "It’s a pity that these two Divine Weapons are quite compatible with me, seeming to recognize me as their owner, enhancing my battle power... Finding such compatible Divine Weapons is not an easy task."

"Ancient True Immortal possesses the stature of a True Immortal; what fear is there of not obtaining satisfactory Divine Weapons?"

Duanmu Chengyun quickly said, "I am willing to offer two... no! Three Divine Weapons to the Ancient True Immortal! I believe that with the Ancient True Immortal’s abilities, you will surely subdue the three Divine Weapons, significantly increasing your own battle power!"

Compared to cultivators below True Immortals, a True Immortal has a much higher probability of mastering Divine Weapons.

No!

It’s not about mastery; it’s about subjugation!

Subdued the Divine Weapon for my own use.

However, correspondingly, the amplification effect of a Divine Weapon on a True Immortal...

is just so-so.

It’s not much stronger than a Saint wielding an ordinary Dao Artifact.

And that’s even with the Divine Weapon having recognized a master.

After all, the material of a Divine Weapon is an Innate Divine Beast, and apart from a few powerful beasts, most Innate Divine Beasts are merely at the same level as a True Immortal staying in the world.

"If I use two Divine Weapons to exchange for three from Duanmu Sect Leader, wouldn’t that be tantamount to a loss of at least a National-level battle power? That’s not proper, not proper at all."

Gu Jinlai shook his head.

"Not at all, not at all."

Duanmu Chengyun hastily said, "Over the years, our Six Great Cave Heavens have indeed collected quite a few Divine Weapons. However, since not everyone has a chance to become the master of a Divine Weapon, we have kept those Divine Weapons that have no hope of finding a master. As for the number, well, there are precisely three to five pieces, so taking out three to be used by Ancient True Immortal won’t affect the overall combat capabilities of our Human Clan."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinlai eased his stance a bit, "Since it won’t diminish the battle power of our Holy Dynasty’s Human Clan, then I agree. However, if there are five Divine Weapons laying idle within the Holy Dynasty... as they are unused, I might as well see if I can find suitable masters for them. Such items as Divine Weapons should be transformed into our Human Clan’s combat strength as soon as possible, don’t you agree?"

Five Divine Weapons?!?

Duanmu Chengyun felt like he had trapped himself.

But...

Facing Master Dong Xuanzi’s Heavenly Element Chess and Si Wuya’s Heavenly Divine Sword, they must exchange them back, no matter the cost.

At once, Duanmu Chengyun nodded eagerly, "What Ancient True Immortal said is true, we have been negligent and failed to realize the help that the might of a True Immortal could provide in terms of becoming the master of Divine Weapons. We will present the five Divine Weapons right away."

"Mm, then I look forward to good news from Sect Leader Duanmu," said Gu Jinlai, nodding his head. Then he added, "By the way, has Sect Leader Duanmu prepared my Immortal Essence Gold and such? Speaking of which, in addition to Immortal Essence Gold, I am still in need of some Thunder Magnetic Elemental Gold... The Six Great Cave Heavens should have such mineral reserves stored away, around four to five thousand, right? I can exchange them for Contribution Value."

As he spoke, he didn’t allow Duanmu Chengyun and the others to reply, as if something else had just occurred to him, he suddenly said, "I just remembered, last time I slain eleven Demon Emperors and one Demon God, Demon-slaying Hall gave me 999.999 billion Contribution Value because the one-time upper limit of Contribution Value is 999.999 billion, right? In other words, I should have received even more Contribution Value. As for exactly how much, I can’t be bothered to calculate with the main hall of Demon-slaying Hall. Let’s just offset those five thousand portions of Thunder Magnetic Elemental Gold, what do you think, Sect Leaders?"

Looking at the Heavenly Divine Sword and Heavenly Element Chess in Gu Jinlai’s hands and recalling how he displayed his power by defeating the three of them single-handedly, such strength...

Duanmu Chengyun estimated that even if he summoned Su Xin, Zhang Yingzhen, and Zhao Piaomiao to join forces, they might not gain any advantage.

Eventually...

He turned his gaze to Si Wuya and Master Dong Xuanzi.

While these two leaders of the great Cave Heavens understood that Duanmu Chengyun meant that the cost would be borne by their two Cave Heavens, they still nodded firmly without any hesitation.

"No problem, absolutely no problem."

"The value of slaying a Demon God cannot be measured with Contribution Value! Please rest assured, Ancient True Immortal, we will gather the five thousand portions of Thunder Magnetic Elemental Gold as quickly as possible," they promised earnestly.

Loss of Divine Weapons...

For the two of them, and even for the Cave Heavens they represented, the impact was too great.

"Very well, you are all quite understanding," said Gu Jinlai with a nod, "Let’s head to Heavenly Master Hall then."

He said with a slight smile, "By now, you should believe that I am fully capable of protecting the Heavenly Masters of Heavenly Master Hall."

"Belie... believe..."

Duanmu Chengyun, although worried that the few Hall Masters from Heavenly Master Hall would expose the "Fire Seed" plan they were preparing...

The current situation was beyond their control, leaving them no choice but to comply.

Moreover...

If there was a glimpse of hope, the "Fire Seed" plan they were carrying out could be slowed down a bit.

If they could defeat the Devils, the Fire Seed plan might even become a sowing plan.

There would be no harm in inviting Gu Jinlai to join by then.

...

Gu Jinlai, Duanmu Chengyun, Si Wuya, and Master Dong Xuanzi quickly descended below.

In the distance, at the edge of the sky, two figures flashed past.

They were Su Xin from Taixu Cave Heaven and Zhang Yingzhen from True Martial Cave Heaven, who had rushed over immediately after hearing about the incident.

But...

As the fight was over and the situation seemed to have been managed just barely, it wasn’t appropriate for them to show themselves now.

If they didn’t take action, the Holy Dynasty would at least have preserved some dignity.

But if even they took action and still couldn’t do anything about Gu Jinlai, wouldn’t that mean that Gu Jinlai alone had suppressed the entire Holy Dynasty?

At that point, the Holy Dynasty’s Six Great Cave Heavens would have no room left for maneuver.

...

Gu Jinlai did not concern himself with what Zhang Yingzhen and the others were thinking. After he landed at Heavenly Master Hall, he directly addressed the three Vice Hall Masters who had yet to leave.

To be precise, he turned to Palace Master Chao.

"Palace Master Chao, you can get ready now. If you have any assistants you need to bring, just say the word, I think neither Master Dong Xuanzi nor Elder Dong Yuanzi will stop you anymore."
