Volume 5 Chapter 109: Long Zhanguo's Favor
Book 5: Chapter 109: Long Zhanguo's Favor
Shing!
A manifested sword arrived quickly, looking like it could instantly cut Gu Hai in half.
Before the sudden danger, Gu Hai's expression changed as he quickly took out the Life Executioner Saber and swung it.
"Fourth Cycle!" Gu Hai hastily counterattacked, glaring.
In the plaza, saber qi coalesced a manifested saber that swung at the sword.
The purple light from the Life Executioner Saber lit up the world.
Boom!
A loud sound rang out.
The Life Executioner Saber's manifested saber shattered in a huge explosion, and the purple light scattered.
However, the Grand Mohist's sword strike had weakened significantly. Even so, it continued heading for Gu Hai.
Before the manifested sword arrived, a sharp sword qi cut the skin on Gu Hai's forehead. The moment the skin broke and some blood leaked out, a crimson saber suddenly charged out of Gu Hai's body. It was the Life Killer Saber that had been hiding in his body.
The moment the Life Killer Saber appeared, the sky turned crimson.
The sword qi shattered, and the Life Killer Saber formed a crimson manifested saber that rushed at the white manifested sword.
Boom!
The Life Killer Saber's manifested saber shattered. However, the manifested sword had already lost ninety percent of its power. Even so, it continued towards Gu Hai.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a bone saber rushed out of the cut in Gu Hai's skin, the Life Ender Saber.
Boom!
When the bone saber clashed with the manifested sword, it finally eliminated the large and powerful manifested sword.
Bang!
Gu Hai staggered three steps back before he could stabilize himself.
"He survived?" The expressions of countless cultivators in the plaza changed.
Earlier, everyone was sure Gu Hai would die.
Who was that? That was the Supreme Ascendant Dao's Grand Mohist, an Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator. She had launched a ruthless sword strike. An insignificant Nascent Soul Realm cultivator like Gu Hai could not possibly resist it.
However, what happened earlier? Gu Hai blocked the Grand Mohist's sword strike?
"That's not right. The Grand Mohist's strength is only at the Middle Heavenly Palace Realm? It regressed?" Long Shenying narrowed his eyes.
"The Grand Mohist's Dao heart is broken? She failed in her cultivation?" Long Shenwen's expression turned serious.
"Middle Heavenly Palace Realm? Even so, that is not something Gu Hai should be able to resist, right?" Long Shenwu exclaimed.
"Evil creature, die!" The Grand Mohist glared and swung her sword again.
To think that the earlier sword strike could not kill Gu Hai?
The Supreme Ascendant Dao required one to be emotionless and indifferent. The coital cultivation in the Human Path Secret Realm caused the Grand Mohist to fail in her cultivation and her cultivation to fall rapidly.
The Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples looked at the Grand Mohist in horror. How can it be like this?
Although the Grand Mohist had lost herself in the coital cultivation, when she came to her senses, she wanted to kill Gu Hai. Only by killing Gu Hai could she recover her mental state.
Since the first strike failed, there's still the second strike.
The Grand Mohist swung her sword again.
"Fire!" Mu Chenfeng shouted from a distance, glaring.
Boom!
As the Grand Mohist swung her sword, a Heaven Blasting Lightning shot over. If it were in the past, she would not have cared. However, now that her cultivation had regressed so much, she had to cancel her attack and defend herself.
Boom!
The Heaven Blasting Lightning struck the Supreme Ascendant's sword.
The Grand Mohist moved back a little before stabilizing herself.
While she was unscathed, the Heaven Blasting Lightning had knocked her back.
"Humph! I don't believe that you have that many Heaven Blasting Lightnings!" The Grand Mohist glared as she resumed her assault.
She swung her sword at Gu Hai again. However, the Qian Nation officials just watched coldly.
"How audacious!"
Suddenly, a furious shout rang out. A powerful gale kicked up at the plaza's center and knocked away the Grand Mohist, who was charging at Gu Hai.
Bang!
The Grand Mohist landed more than thirty meters away.
That earlier cold shout came from Long Zhanguo, the Qian Heavenly Emperor.
Long Zhanguo shouted at the Grand Mohist?
That shout caused all the Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples' expressions to change.
When Long Zhanguo shouted coldly, Long Shenying's figure immediately flashed, arriving before the Grand Mohist and punching her.
Boom!
The punch sent the Grand Mohist flying. She crashed through ten-odd mountains in the distance before coming to a stop.
"Grand Mohist!" the Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples exclaimed anxiously.
"Qian Heavenly Emperor, the Grand Mohist's actions are unintentional and are not meant to offend the Qian Nation. Qian Heavenly Emperor, do forgive her!" The Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples pleaded for mercy.
Although they did not know why the Grand Mohist went crazy and wanted to kill Gu Hai, the most important thing now was pacifying Long Zhanguo. Otherwise, they could forget about leaving this place.
However, Long Zhanguo stared coldly at the rubble, watching the Grand Mohist slowly climb out. A murderous intent locked on her, causing her to break out in a cold sweat.
"Supreme Ascendant, we did not invite you to the Ten Thousand Sages Convention for you to behave unbridledly here!" Long Zhanguo said coldly.
By this moment, the Grand Mohist had calmed down significantly. She raised her head and looked at Long Zhanguo.
"Qian Heavenly Emperor, this is a personal grudge between Gu Hai and myself," the Grand Mohist said, unwilling to accept this.
"Huh?" Long Zhanguo's eyes turned cold as an intense aura pressed down.
Blargh!
The Grand Mohist spewed out a mouthful of blood under Long Zhanguo's pressure.
"Sorry for the offense!" the Grand Mohist said with a lowered head.
"Humph! The people of the Spirit Mountain Holy Land and the Solar Divine Palace have left. It is time for your Myriad Age Daoist Sect's people to leave as well," Long Zhanguo said coldly.
"We will leave right away!" the Supreme Ascendant Dao's disciples said anxiously.
The Grand Mohist looked at Long Zhanguo with reluctance in her eyes. However, she could only keep her head lowered and say, "Yes!"
The Supreme Ascendant Dao's disciples immediately went over to help the Grand Mohist up. Then, they took out a flying ship and helped her board.
"Grand Mohist!" the Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples said anxiously.
"Let's go. Cough! Cough! Cough!" the Grand Mohist said as she coughed up blood.
Whoosh!
The flying ship carried the Myriad Age Daoist Sect's people into the distance.
On the deck, the Grand Mohist showed a sullen expression as she looked at the distant Gu Hai.
"Gu Hai, this is not over! This will never end!" the Grand Mohist said with a ferocious expression. Hatred filled her eyes.
Whoosh!
The flying ship quickly flew far away, vanishing into the horizon.
Gu Hai put away the Life Executioner Saber as he watched the Grand Mohist leave, showing a somewhat sullen expression.
"Hall Master, are you alright?" Mu Chenfeng asked as he rushed forward anxiously.
"I'm fine!" Gu Hai shook his head.
Long Shenying moved aside, showing a complicated expression as he looked at Gu Hai.
The Qian Nation officials did not care about Gu Hai's life or death. The crown princes had even watched coldly earlier. The crown princes were very smart people; they could see Gu Hai's ambition. They knew that he would be difficult to subdue. Death? It would be good if he died. That would save them some future problems.
Furthermore, Gu Hai had the Classic of the Dao and Virtue. If he died, then the Classic of the Dao and Virtue would become a masterless item, and they could fight for it.
However, the crown princes suddenly realized that Long Zhanguo seemed to favor Gu Hai.
When Long Zhanguo shouted "How audacious!" earlier, Long Shenying understood his father's stance. Hence, he immediately went to help.
Long Zhanguo looked around coldly. "That is all for today. You are dismissed!"
"Yes, Your Holy Eminence!" The Qian Nation's officials bowed respectfully.
"Gu Hai, come meet us in our study ten days later!" Long Zhanguo suddenly looked at Gu Hai.
Gu Hai?
The Qian Nation officials appeared somewhat shocked. The faces of the experts of the various factions in the surroundings sank. They did not know what Long Zhanguo meant by that.
Since Long Zhanguo defeated Heaven, everything changed. The various experts all pondered every word and every action he took.
Gu Hai looked at Long Zhanguo and nodded. Then, he bowed slightly.
Buzz!
Long Zhanguo's figure flashed and vanished from the plaza in the next moment.
"Respectfully sending off Your Holy Eminence!" All the officials and citizens bowed respectfully.
"Can't the old fogey speak clearly? Acting all mysterious!" Long Wanyu complained with a frown.
Nearly everyone suddenly turned to Long Wanyu. Most of them immediately stopped speaking. They wanted to scold her but did not know how to start.
After this, the Qian Heavenly Emperor is now proven to be the strongest person. To think that you dare to be disrespectful to him? Ah! It's Princess Wanyu. Perhaps she is the only one who would dare?
The third crown prince smiled bitterly, but no one could say anything.
"Brother-in-Law, your forehead is bleeding. How is it now?" Long Wanyu asked anxiously, suddenly remembering Gu Hai.
"It's fine now." Gu Hai took a deep breath and shook his head.
The wound on Gu Hai's forehead had already healed.
He had withdrawn the Life Killer Saber and the Life Ender Saber earlier, leaving only the Life Executioner Saber slung over his back.
"Congratulations, Mister Gu!" Sima Changkong bowed respectfully to Gu Hai. Then, he left.
No one else spoke to Gu Hai, not even Venerable Liu Nian, Gongyang Sheng, Ninth Young Master, or Founding Dynasty. They only stared at Gu Hai.
Perhaps it was because the Qian Heavenly Emperor had summoned Gu Hai to meet him ten days later. Now, he seemed isolated from everyone.
This only left Long Wanyu and the Han Nation's people surrounding Gu Hai.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Mo Yike said as he walked over with a smile.
"Let's go back first." Gu Hai shook his head.
Everyone nodded.
Gu Hai led Long Wanyu, Mu Chenfeng, Mo Yike, Ensnaring Performance, Longevity, Purple Subtlety, and the Elite Hall disciples away from the plaza, returning to Long Wanyu's residence.
Countless people stared at Gu Hai along the way, but none of them spoke to him.
In the crowd, Emperor Kong narrowed his eyes slightly at Gu Hai.
However, the Azure Emperor smiled confidently as he watched Gu Hai leave.
Amid the Qian Nation's army, Li Shenji stood in a corner with the Divine Strategy Battalion. He narrowed his eyes slightly as he said, "To think that Gu Hai's cultivation increased significantly. He actually survived the Supreme Ascendant's sword strike. Humph! However, he has only one Heaven Blasting Lightning left!"
When Gu Hai returned to Long Wanyu's residence, he immediately entered closed-door cultivation.
While in closed-door cultivation, Gu Hai sent his consciousness into his body.
Inside his body:
The fire deity carried the fire calabash on its back, the fifth layer of the fire nascent soul.
The water deity shouldered the ice mountain, the fifth layer of the water nascent soul.
The earth deity carried the Renewing Soil, the fifth layer of the earth nascent soul.
The metal deity held the Immortal Slaying Calabash's vine, the fifth layer of the metal nascent soul.
The Spiritual Progenitor deity king stood in front of the Karmic Energy Mending Heaven pool, the third layer of the divine nascent soul.
"To think that this coital cultivation session had such a great effect? The Nascent Soul Realm's twenty-third layer? The Fifth Nascent Soul Stage? With five nascent souls, I can break into the Heavenly Palace Realm already?"
Gu Hai closed his eyes, and his consciousness wandered his body.
"There seems to be something in my forehead space? What is it? The Mortal Soul Register? There is something else in my body. Oh, hey! It's that Ghost Sealing Box? The Ghost Sealing Box turned lush green, and there are words on it now?" Gu Hai carefully sensed the changes in his body.
He read the words on the Ghost Sealing Box, and his eyes suddenly opened wide, shock flashing in them. "The Dreaming of Heavenly Secrets Technique?"
