And it was precisely that seven-point and six-point matching degree that kept Gu Jinlai going for seventy-nine years. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novᴇlfire.net
From this point, one can see how exaggerated the difficulty of improving the Great Dao compatibility becomes as it progresses.
This is still because Gu Jinlai’s Great Dao compatibility wasn’t affected by external factors and didn’t decline; if there were such factors, the cultivation period would definitely be doubled.
"Thirty thousand years... Specifically, twenty thousand years. If one cannot increase their Great Dao compatibility to ninety percent in twenty thousand years, they basically lose the opportunity to aspire to be an Immortal Golden Immortal..."
Gu Jinlai slightly estimated.
Of course, this kind of estimation is not accurate.
During the cultivation process, cultivators will also utilize various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, which accelerate the compatibility between the cultivator and the Great Dao.
Besides, all cultivators have a skill considered as a trump card, which is the Divine Union Cultivation.
Theoretically, Divine Union Cultivation works best when the Great Dao compatibility reaches ninety-eight or ninety-nine percent.
But in practice, most Golden Immortals start the union when the compatibility slows down at ninety-five, ninety-four, or even ninety-three and ninety-two percent.
Because they can’t afford to waste time.
"My Great Dao compatibility degraded from Chi Tianyuan’s level, and after another ten or eight years of closed-door cultivation, it should be able to increase by one or two points. I remember Chi Tianyuan has no Daoist Companion, so if this time he closes-door is to perform Divine Union Cultivation with his Daoist Companion, achieving immortality would naturally follow."
Gu Jinlai calculated in his heart.
Meanwhile, he also sighed somewhat.
No wonder Chi Tianyuan is so arrogant, feeling that cultivating in the Void Sword Sect is a waste of time.
He really has the qualifications to be aloof.
Gu Jinlai took out the Communication Jade Token.
He halted his cultivation precisely because his aloof Daoist Companion sent a message saying that Yun Kun is about to give birth, urging him to come out if not in a critical period and align with Yun Kun to enhance his Space Avenue talent.
"My Daoist Companion has chosen well, sending me only twelve messages in a century, ten of which are the repeated ’materials have arrived’ reminders, and the other two: one was ’Chaotic Hole Transformation has begun,’ the other being Yun Kun."
Gu Jinlai nodded with satisfaction.
A Daoist Companion who doesn’t interrupt one’s cultivation and silently provides resources is truly a good companion.
"Speaking of materials, I’ve kept them all stored; these materials basically have little effect on me, I should find a chance to sell them secretly and change them into three thousand Immortal Artifacts to complete the Blue Star Small World as soon as possible."
As Gu Jinlai spoke, he glanced at his fully packed Heavenly Chaos Pearl.
"The Chaotic Hole Transformation involves the Devouring Dao; after a century, my Devouring Dao compatibility is still spinning at fifty percent due to using some resources, so observing the birth of Chaotic Hole would be beneficial for raising my Devouring Dao compatibility, as for Yun Kun..."
Gu Jinlai did not forget his main purpose of coming to the Honorable Daoist Mansion.
To practice all Three Thousand Great Dao Cultivation Techniques.
And even a family as resourceful as the Qin Family probably can’t gather all Three Thousand Great Dao Magic Skills; only education-focused departments like the Honorable Daoist Mansion could collect all Cultivation Techniques and Immortal Techniques so thoroughly.
Therefore, the Inner Mansion is indeed necessary to visit.
"I’ve closed-door for a century, it’s time to show a bit of talent to let the Qin Family arrange my entry into the Inner Mansion."
Gu Jinlai pondered: "I checked the data, contracting Innate Sacred such as Yun Kun can significantly stimulate a person’s talent potential, thus enhancing their Space Avenue compatibility. I’m a genius with hopes of becoming an Inner Mansion Honorable Daoist, closed-door for a century, refined massive resources, and then contracted the Innate Sacred Yun Kun, boosting Space Avenue compatibility to ninety-seven percent, which is quite reasonable."
He clapped his hands.
Enter the Inner Mansion via Space Avenue.
Moreover, with high Space Avenue compatibility, survival skills will greatly increase, and when it’s time for him to venture out and hunt Divine Spirits, the Qin Family won’t be frightened for his safety and hesitant to send him.
Immediately, Gu Jinlai exited the Cultivation Room.
Changqing Island remains unchanged.
Although a century is a long time for people like Zhao Xi, Wang Xuanjing, Luo Jiuxiao at the just Profound Immortal Realm, for a Great Dao Golden Immortal, it’s like a month in a mortal’s century-long life.
Who would expect drastic changes having stayed home for a month?
Outside the Cultivation Room, Qin Yiren stood holding her sword in her plain dress.
Seeing Gu Jinlai come out, she went straight to the point: "Going to Yanhuang Star Domain to contract Yun Kun?"
Gu Jinlai nodded: "I’ve never contracted any Innate Sacred, heard contracting the first Innate Sacred brings significant progress for those who’ve never done so, I want to see if it’s indeed true."
Qin Yiren did not respond, or perhaps she didn’t want to engage in small talk, merely saying: "I’m contacting the Starship, arranging the Star Gates en route, while coordinating Yanhuang Star Domain counterparts, depart in a day?"
Gu Jinlai looked at her, smiled, and nodded.
He liked Qin Yiren’s efficiency with no unnecessary words and straightforward task execution.
His gaze seemed to quicken Qin Yiren’s departure.
Gu Jinlai left the Cultivation Room, and two people came upon hearing.
One of them was Leng Tianfeng.
This disciple of his is inherently gifted, having reached Mahayana with the Eternal Furnace before Gu Jinlai’s closed-door cultivation.
To prevent wasting his talent, Gu Jinlai took him to the Honorable Daoist Mansion upon returning.
For a century, he cultivated the Great Sun Eternal Method to Sixth Layer Perfection; his combat power is not inferior to a Nine Heavens Profound Immortal.
