Speaking of this, his tone slightly paused, "However, back then, to ensure that the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty wouldn’t attack us in the Profound Immortal Realm in reverse through the Realm Gate, the gate was sealed off very tightly. To reopen it, I’m afraid it will take three to five years..."
"Three to five years..."
It had been less than five years since he had come from the Longevity World to the Profound Immortal Realm.
But his own strength had soared directly from Heavenly Immortal to Eight Heavens Profound Immortal.
Delaying three to five years...
"Well then, let it be three to five years. Time waits for no man. Go back now and open the gate to the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty as quickly as possible. The quicker, the better."
Luo Jiuxiao responded.
With both sides having a common enemy in the Evil God, they had, to a certain extent, already reached a united stance.
Add to that Luo Jiuxiao’s realization of Gu Jinlai’s potential...
If the Xuanyuan Sword Sect continued to oppose him, they might not wait for the Evil God to awaken and devour the Profound Immortal World; the Xuanyuan Sword Sect might be annihilated by Gu Jinlai first. Thus, his attitude had clearly changed significantly, and his mindset had undergone a series of transformations.
"Additionally, I always believe in one thing: to repel outsiders, one must first ensure internal stability. If a world cannot even maintain internal stability, what potential can it speak of? Thus, over the next three to five years, I will undertake the purification of the Northern Region and, if necessary, I will even intervene in the Central Golden Land and the other Three Domains. I do not wish to interfere with the inner workings of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, but merely want to ensure that we are not plotting against each other in our rear when we are brainstorming against the Evil God, disrupting the stability of the Profound Immortal World. I assume Venerable Daoist Luo and the Xuanyuan Sword Sect would not obstruct this, right?"
Gu Jinlai looked at Luo Jiuxiao.
But then he thought of Gu Jinlai, the Son of the World.
What was his purpose in purging the Profound Immortal Realm?
To truly end the internal chaos and stabilize it so the entire power of the Profound Immortal Realm could be focused on forging a way forward for the Realm’s future. It was not for personal gain but for the welfare of the entire Realm.
This approach made Luo Jiuxiao trust even more in Gu Jinlai’s identity as the Son of the World, and he no longer obstructed his request.
Gu Jinlai had already discussed this with him beforehand, providing an opportunity for those originally vile characters to rehabilitate themselves while also urging his own direct descendants to reform.
Since he had already passed down the instructions, if any descendant still stubbornly refused to change, stubbornly seeking their own destruction, he could hardly be blamed.
Luo Jiuxiao, who had lived nearly three thousand years, had seen all manners of feuds and affections, his actual blood relatives had long perished.
Among his descendants, there was none he was closely enough bonded to stake his life for.
At that moment, he bowed slightly, "Sacred God Jiang harbors a mind for the greater world, acting time and again to preserve the rightful order of the Profound Immortal Realm. I, Luo Jiuxiao, hold deep respect, how could I obstruct? Once I return, I will order Luo Xiao to purge the Xuanyuan Sword Sect of its petty members and restore the bright and vastness of the Central Golden Plain."
As long as Luo Jiuxiao understood his intention, it was enough.
"After the Realm Gate opens in three to five years, we will officially make contact with the Xuanhuang Alliance and the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty. Please send the relevant data to Elder Luo as soon as possible to avoid any misunderstandings at that time."
Luo Jiuxiao said, his tone pausing slightly, "However, we have been out of contact with the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty for hundreds of years, and even a thousand years ago, our exchanges with the outside world in the Profound Immortal Realm significantly decreased. We in the Xuanyuan Sword Sect also don’t know what the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty has become. The intelligence we hold may not be entirely accurate, so I ask for Sacred God Jiang’s forgiveness at that time."
Luo Jiuxiao immediately departed with Luo Xiao.
After the two had left, Gu Jinlai finally closed his eyes.
He murmured to himself, "There will be a way, and as long as there is a way, I will surely be able to do it, even if the Xuanhuang Alliance cannot accomplish it, it doesn’t mean I can’t either."
His eyes gradually sharpened.
Then, he reopened the Annihilation Map of the Xuanyuan Sword Scripture.
For Profound Immortals, it was incredibly brief.
But for Gu Jinlai, who in reality had only practiced for about a decade, it was completely possible for him to take his cultivation to the next level.
His Spiritual Realm ascended.
Immortal Techniques, Immortal Artifacts.
All of these could eventually transform into his own combat strength.
Luo Jiuxiao, whether it was out of a desire not to confront Gu Jinlai in a scenario where they both would perish or viewing him as the final lifeline, had merely taken a few days to send over a vast amount of information regarding the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty and the past battles of the Xuanhuang Alliance against the Evil God.
The Longevity World had a complete concept of planets and star systems, and so did the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty.
Moreover, it was even more perfected than the Longevity World or Blue Star.
Their understanding of the world wasn’t merely simple observation.
Or rather, the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty, and even several surrounding High-class Worlds, based their understanding of the Cosmic Starry Sky on the foundation of "Realm Gates."
The core of the Realm Gates lay in the Space Avenue among the Three Thousand Great Dao.
What the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty saw in the Cosmic Starry Sky, the worlds of thousands of domains, were composed of countless active points of the Space Avenue.
These active points had the foundational capacity for building Realm Gates and also carried the potential for connecting two realms.
Gu Jinlai focussed on viewing the relevant data and suddenly discovered that these so-called active points of the Space Avenue could very likely be invisible wormholes.
The Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty, including the Profound Immortal World, used Realm Gate technology to excavate these originally nearly imperceptible, unformed invisible wormholes, using them as Realm Gates to connect various locations.
