Everlasting Immortal Firmament

Book 6: Chapter 096: Human Sovereign f.u.xi

Sect Master Supreme Ascendant flew over to Gu Hai with Heavenly Access in tow.

“Imperial Emperor Gu, the earlier battle was eye-opening for me.” Sect Master Supreme Ascendant looked at Gu Hai with awe in his eyes.

It could be said that Gu Hai was largely responsible for the Six Paths Veritable Lord’s severe injuries.

“I don’t dare claim it to be an eye-opener. However, we must leave; the other Six Paths Veritable Lords will arrive soon,” Gu Hai said with a bitter smile.

“Let’s go, then. Imperial Emperor Gu, how are your injuries?” Sect Master Supreme Ascendant asked worriedly.

“I’m in a lot of pain. I can’t move for now,” Gu Hai said with a bitter smile.

The Mending Heaven Energy nourished Gu Hai’s physical body, but as his physical body grew stronger, it needed more Mending Heaven Energy, so it would not recover that quickly.

“Your Reverence, this subject will support you.” Kong Xuan helped Gu Hai up.

“Kong Xuan, your demonic aura seems to be denser?” Gu Hai looked at Kong Xuan.

Kong Xuan nodded. “I ate a lot and haven’t had time to digest them yet. However, supporting Your Reverence should not be an issue.”

“One cannot be killed in the h.e.l.l Path Secret Realm. There’s a chance that they can revive. Are they all dead?” Gu Hai asked worriedly.

“They are not dead yet, as I have not fully digested them. Your Reverence, don’t worry. I will make sure they die outside of h.e.l.l,” Kong Xuan said seriously.

Gu Hai nodded.

“Let’s go!” The Supreme Ascendent nodded.

However, Gu Hai suddenly shook his head.

“Huh?” Everyone looked at Gu Hai with confusion.

“We cannot leave the way we came.” Gu Hai shook his head again.

The expressions of the Supreme Ascendant, Heavenly Access, and Kong Xuan changed as they nodded.

“However, can Kong Xuan tear open another path of reincarnation?” the Supreme Ascendant asked worriedly.

At the very least, Sect Master Supreme Ascendant and Heavenly Access could not do that.

“The h.e.l.l path of reincarnation is different from eight hundred thousand years later. At the very least, the eighteenth layer is not completely sealed off.” Gu Hai smiled.

As Gu Hai spoke, he took out a white jade bottle with some difficulty.

There were four Reincarnation Lotuses in it.

Gu Hai signaled to Kong Xuan. Naturally, Kong Xuan recognized the Reincarnation Lotus. Gu Hai had used it to rescue him eight hundred thousand years in the future.

Snap!

Kong Xuan plucked a lotus, and it quickly started withering. An exit appeared right below that Reincarnation Lotus.

“A Reincarnation Lotus?” Heavenly Access’s expression changed.

“I obtained it by chance. Everyone, let’s go,” Gu Hai said with a bitter smile.

“Alright!” Sect Master Supreme Ascendant nodded.

Whoos.h.!.+

The four immediately entered the hole, vanis.h.i.+ng from the eighteenth layer of h.e.l.l in the blink of an eye.

Buzz!

The hole closed shortly after that.

——

Outside the Peac.o.c.k Deity Hall, not long after Gu Hai left:

Boom!

A strong gust of wind blew and shattered the entire Peac.o.c.k Deity Hall, exposing a tear in s.p.a.ce.

A Daoist-robed man appeared with a cold expression.

The Six Paths Veritable Lord! Another Six Paths Veritable Lord?

Whoos.h.!.+

The Six Paths Veritable Lord stepped into the spatial tear, entering the h.e.l.l path of reincarnation.

Boom!

Another gust of wind blew. Another Six Paths Veritable Lord had rushed over with a ferocious expression and stepped into the spatial tear.

Two Six Paths Veritable Lords entered the h.e.l.l path of reincarnation one after another and rushed to the eighteenth layer of h.e.l.l.

Upon arrival, the two Six Paths Veritable Lords’ expressions turned cold.

“They fled? Humph!” one of the Six Paths Veritable Lords said coldly.

“Gu Hai? The Supreme Ascendant? Heavenly Access? Guan Qi? Humph! You can all forget about escaping!” the other Six Paths Veritable Lord said ferociously.

The two Six Paths Veritable Lords exchanged glances.

“Go to the Myriad Age Daoist Sect!” the two Six Paths Veritable Lords coldly said in hatred simultaneously.

Whoos.h.!.+

The two Six Paths Veritable Lords turned around and left the h.e.l.l path of reincarnation. After leaving the ruined Peac.o.c.k Deity Hall, they charged toward the Myriad Age Daoist Sect with rage on their faces.

The Supreme Ascendant and Heavenly Access’s betrayal had thoroughly broken off relations with the Six Paths Veritable Lord.

——

The Reincarnation Lotus brought Gu Hai’s group out of h.e.l.l. The exit location was random, and the group appeared in a valley; then, the tunnel behind vanished.

“Heavenly Access, scout the surroundings. See where this place is,” the Supreme Ascendant instructed.

“Yes!” Heavenly Access answered.

“Imperial Emperor, many thanks to you for earlier. Junior Brother says there should be two Six Paths Veritable Lords looking for you. This time, only one showed up. Would there still be another Six Paths Veritable Lord coming to look for you ten days later?” The Supreme Ascendant frowned.

“Indeed. Hah! Sect Master Supreme Ascendant, I wonder, what do you want to talk to me about in private by sending away Heavenly Access?” Gu Hai asked somewhat weakly.

Buzz!

Sect Master Supreme Ascendant took out a pile of sc.r.a.ps. These were the fragments of the Primal Chaos Bell, the Cross Annihilation, the Absolute Zero Calabash, and the Eight Trigram Furnace.

Sect Master Supreme Ascendant put away the broken Eight Trigram Furnace with a flip of his hand. “Although the Eight Trigram Furnace is broken, it still contains the Samādhi True Flame. I can continue using it to concoct pills and forge equipment. The other three treasures are useless to me. Imperial Emperor Gu contributed the most in this battle. I’ll leave the fragments of these three treasures to Imperial Emperor Gu.”

As the Supreme Ascendant spoke, he handed the fragments of the three treasures to Gu Hai.

Gu Hai looked at the Supreme Ascendant doubtfully but saw sincerity on the Supreme Ascendant’s face.

“Sect Master Supreme Ascendant is wise and sharp. Gu Hai is embarra.s.sed,” Gu Hai said with a bitter smile.

Indeed, Sect Master Supreme Ascendant was very observant. He actually noticed that Gu Hai needed these three treasures just from some insignificant expressions. Then, he handed these three treasures over to Gu Hai without hesitation.

“Sect Master Supreme Ascendant, many thanks for granting me this.” Gu Hai did not pretentiously reject the gift but directly extended his hand, took the three treasures, and put them away.

“You deserve these. Earlier, I also noticed that the boundless Essence in the h.e.l.l path seemed to be gathering towards you?” the Supreme Ascendant said with some bewilderment.

“Sect Master Supreme Ascendant is observant!” Gu Hai marveled.

When Gu Hai’s mortal soul monopolized his physical body and his strength peaked, he could control the Mortal Soul Register and the Earthly Soul Register. While he did not know how to use the Mortal Soul Register, he could use the Earthly Soul Register to absorb Essence.

Gu Hai had absorbed all of the free Essence in the h.e.l.l path of reincarnation in one go. Unfortunately, the Essence in this h.e.l.l path of reincarnation was much less than eight hundred thousand years in the future. After all, the h.e.l.l path of reincarnation in the future had gotten completely sealed off for eight hundred thousand years, preventing the Essence from escaping.

Sect Master Supreme Ascendant did not pursue this topic. Instead, he asked, “Another Six Paths Veritable Lord will attack again ten days later. Can you kill the Six Paths Veritable Lord again?”

Gu Hai replied with a bitter smile, “The treasures are shattered, I’m severely injured, and the Six Paths Veritable Lord has his guard up against me now. There is no way to do that ten days later. At the very least, I have not thought of one yet.”

“If not for your attacks catching the Six Paths Veritable Lord off guard many times, it would have been impossible to take down the Six Paths Veritable Lord. If the Six Paths Veritable Lord is on guard, no one is his match in this world,” Sect Master Supreme Ascendant said with a bitter smile.

“The Six Paths Veritable Lord is one thing; there is still Old Mister Guan Qi.” Gu Hai frowned.

“Old Mister Guan Qi? Two died earlier. Is he like the Six Paths Veritable Lord, splitting himself into ten bodies?” Kong Xuan asked with misgivings.

Gu Hai shook his head. “I don’t know.”

“However, I have a hunch that Old Mister Guan Qi’s goals are not as simple as just killing the Six Paths Veritable Lord. He seems to have a larger plan in mind,” Gu Hai said with a complicated expression.

“Old Mister Guan Qi? Hah! Indeed. Aside from you, I am also unable to figure him out,” Sect Master Supreme Ascendant said after some silence.

Whoos.h.!.+

Heavenly Access returned just at this moment.

“First Senior Brother, we are currently near a city on the east side of the Divine Continent,” Heavenly Access reported.

“The east? The east is good.” The Supreme Ascendant nodded.

Then, he turned to Gu Hai. “Imperial Emperor Gu, it is confirmed beyond a doubt that the Six Paths Veritable Lord is planning to rebel and kill Heaven. You still have ten days till the next attack. You probably need to recuperate during these ten days. How about you go somewhere with me?”

“Oh?” Gu Hai looked at Sect Master Supreme Ascendant.

“Let’s go and meet the Human Sovereign f.u.xi!” Sect Master Supreme Ascendant declared seriously.

“f.u.xi? The Supreme Wa’s elder brother?” Gu Hai’s expression changed.

“Indeed. Imperial Emperor Gu is strange. Others know of f.u.xi first before knowing of the Supreme Wa, yet you seem to know more about the Supreme Wa? Oh! That’s right. Only the Supreme Wa exists eight hundred thousand years later. f.u.xi no longer exists.” Sect Master Supreme Ascendant smiled.

Gu Hai smiled bitterly. The Supreme Wa seems to be my wife. Am I going to meet my brother-in-law?

“The Human Sovereign f.u.xi? I have heard of him a few times before. What is special about f.u.xi?” Gu Hai asked.

From the side, Heavenly Access said thoughtfully, “Long Zhanguo is the strongest person eight hundred thousand years in the future. The Six Paths Veritable Lord is the strongest person of this era. As for f.u.xi, he is the strongest person of the previous era.”

“Oh?” Gu Hai felt slightly startled.

“Previously, f.u.xi nearly ruled the world. However, he suddenly dissolved his nation and abandoned all his authority for some reason before going into hiding. From then on, he distanced himself from all mundane matters. Now that the world is going through a calamity, it is time to ask him to return,” the Supreme Ascendant said.

“First Senior Brother, do you know where f.u.xi is? I heard that he had completely cut off contact with the world?” Heavenly Access said in shock.

The Supreme Ascendant shook his head. “I happened to learn his location by coincidence.”

“Excellent. I’ll have to trouble Sect Master Supreme Ascendant to lead to way, then,” Gu Hai said seriously.

“Your Reverence, I’ll carry you,” Kong Xuan said seriously.

Gu Hai nodded.

Coo!

Kong Xuan turned into a giant peac.o.c.k. However, it was not ten kilometers tall this time, just several dozen meters, enough for Gu Hai to sit on its back.

“Come with me!” Sect Master Supreme Ascendant called out.

Boom!

The group immediately flew towards the horizon.

Gu Hai sat cross-legged on Kong Xuan’s back. Then, he closed his eyes and rested.

The Mending Heaven Energy continuously healed Gu Hai’s wounds. Naturally, he would not waste any Mending Heaven Energy on the three treasures’ fragments before his injuries healed.

However, the three treasures’ fragments arrived at the Spiritual Progenitor deity king.

Buzz!

With the Eyes of Life and Death, the Spiritual Progenitor deity king saw countless broken black lines on the three treasures.

Whoos.h.!.+

Just then, the ice mountain by the water deity in his body sent some cold energy to the Absolute Zero Calabash.

“Oh? Cold energy?” Gu Hai’s expression changed.

Then, he diverted a wisp of Mending Heavenly Energy to the broken Absolute Zero Calabash. Some of the black lines connected.

Rumble…!

The cold energy from the ice mountain immediately poured into the Absolute Zero Calabash’s fragments. Nourished by the cold energy, the Absolute Zero Calabash started quickly mending.

“Since the ice mountain can mend the Absolute Zero Calabash, the Absolute Zero Calabash shall go to the water deity.”

The Absolute Zero Calabash flew to the water deity palace.

Rumble…!

The Absolute Zero Calabash recovered its previous shape, and the ice mountain pulled it in. The ice mountain gave off boundless cold energy, fixing its many cracks.

Then, Gu Hai’s water deity hugged the Absolute Zero Calabash and quickly refined it.
