Book 8: Chapter 105: The United Rule Meet
Borderless Heavenly Capital:
Gu Hai wielded the Pangu Ax and shook the entire Borderless Heavenly Capital. Countless officials rushed to the study, their faces filled with concern. However, Gu Hai did not allow anyone to enter the study.
Gu Hai had just experienced the might of the Pangu Ax. That might surpa.s.sed all of Gu Hais enchanted treasures. Gu Hai sat in his seat, lost in thought.
The recognition from the Pangu Ax left Gu Hai filled with doubt.
Pangu? This ancient namehow is it related to me?
Gu Hai could not be sure, but the waves of emotion in his heart would not calm down.
After a while, Gu Hai slowly walked out of the study.
The various officials waited patiently outside. The Unborn Man, Gu Qin, Gu Han, Gu Tang, and Gu Ming were among them.
Eminent Father, the commotion just now was terrifying. What happened? Gu Ming asked anxiously.
Its alright. It was just the overflow while practicing a cultivation technique, Gu Hai replied calmly.
I see. The officials finally relaxed.
Eminent Father, it was dangerous just now. The Go Dao ritual array inside Borderless Heavenly Capital almost got crushed by that force! Gu Qin said with a smile.
Gu Hai nodded but did not mention the Pangu Ax.
He turned to the Unborn Man and said, Unborn Man, Lifespan Xiahou is with you. We dont want Lifespan Xiahou to appear in public again.
Rest a.s.sured, Your Holy Eminence. Lifespan Xiahou has committed a heinous crime by setting up the ghost head lifespan ritual array. I wont let him escape. Thank you, Your Holy Eminence, for venturing into the East Spiritual Fire Sea for me, the Unborn Man replied with a respectful bow.
We will keep our promise to you, Gu Hai said with a smile.
The Unborn Man looked at Gu Hai in silence, then bowed once more.
Gu Mings expression changed slightly. Unborn Man, are you looking to complete the lines of lifespan cultivation? Theres only one left, Lifespan Dongcang. Dont worry; well help you find him as soon as possible.
The Unborn Man glanced at Gu Ming, apparently surprised.
What does Gu Ming want me to do with the eight lines of lifespan cultivation? You, Gu Ming, seem to understand some things about lifespan cultivation. While others might not know what Im doing, dont you know? Why are you so eager?
The Unborn Mans startled reaction quickly vanished, but this subtle action did not escape Gu Tangs notice.
Gu Tang, the most intelligent among the four brothers, might not know what Gu Ming and the Unborn Man were hiding, but he could sense some kind of understanding between them. He frowned slightly but did not say anything, just silently taking note.
Rumble!
Just as Gu Hai was about to dismiss the officials, the blessings cloud sea in the sky suddenly churned. The incarnations in the sky seemed to sense something bad.
Gu Hais incarnation led the rest. The officials incarnations showed cold expressions, appearing fierce as they looked at an uninvited guest at the edge of the blessings cloud sea.
At the edge of the blessings cloud sea, some blessings suddenly gathered, gradually forming a human figure. Gu Hai recognized this figureit was Essence Genesis.
Essence Genesiss incarnation? How could it appear above the Han Heavenly Dynastys blessings cloud sea?
The expression of Gu Hais incarnation turned dark as he gazed coldly at Essence Genesiss incarnation.
What do you want, Essence Genesis? Gu Hais incarnation asked in an icy tone.
However, Essence Genesis paid no attention. After a while, Essence Genesiss incarnation said coldly, Its almost time. All golden blessings dragons and incarnations, listen to me!
In five days, in Essence Genesis Halls plaza in the Myriad Age Daoist Sect, I intend to hold the United Rule Meet. Everyone is expected to come. Those who dare to not come will bear the consequences! Essence Genesiss tone was frigid.
Buzz!
After Essence Genesis finished speaking, his incarnation promptly disintegrated.
Whats going on? exclaimed the officials.
Brother-in-Law, did Essence Genesis finish studying Hetus body? His incarnation could appear in all the blessings cloud sea in the world! Long Wanyu appeared out of nowhere.
Gu Hai lifted his head, glancing at the blessings cloud sea and then towards the distant south, his expression darkening.
The blessings cloud sea was his preserve, a symbol of his dominion. Now, Essence Genesiss incarnation could come and go at will?
I have a report! A letter arrived from the Embroidered Uniform Guards at the Yan Heavenly Dynasty just now. The blessings cloud sea of the Yan Heavenly Dynasty suddenly changed. Essence Genesiss incarnation appeared and spoke to the Yan Heavenly Emperor, saying the same words as just now! Inviting everyone to the United Rule Meet in the Myriad Age Daoist Sect in five days!
I have a report! Essence Genesiss incarnation manifested above the blessings cloud sea at the Spirit Mountains Deity Seizing Hall.
I have a report! Essence Genesiss incarnation manifested above the blessings cloud seas of the imperial dynasties bordering us.
Various reports poured in. It had not happened just in the Han Heavenly Dynasty but in all the imperial dynasties or mid-tier sects and above in the land of the living. Essence Genesiss incarnation appeared in their blessing clouds seas, speaking the same words at the same time earlier.
It was not just in the land of the living but also in the nether realm.
------
Above Everlasting Nether Capitals blessings cloud sea, Essence Genesiss presence was unmistakable.
I have a report! Essence Genesiss incarnation manifested above the Heavenly Demon Holy Lands blessings cloud sea and announced the United Rule Meet at the Myriad Age Daoist Sects Essence Genesis Hall in five days!
I have a report! A blessings cloud sea appeared out of nowhere in the East Spiritual Fire Sea, and six vermilion birds manifested above the blessings cloud sea. Right after that, Essence Genesiss incarnation appeared, announcing the United Rule Meet at the Myriad Age Daoist Sects Essence Genesis Hall in five days!
I have a report
In the nether realm, various reports quickly made their way to the skeleton Gu Hai.
All factions with at least the strength of mid-tier sects or imperial dynasties received Essence Genesiss announcement that the United Rule Meet would take place five days later at Essence Genesis Hall.
Gu Hais initial anger gradually subsided. At the very least, this was not aimed solely at him.
Essence Genesis? The United Rule Meet? Does he think that it is time? Gu Hai narrowed his eyes.
------
The East Spiritual Fire Sea, the nether realm:
While the six Vermilion Bird Primes did not plan immediate revenge, gathering information was crucial. The best way was to summon all the avian-type animal spirits in the world.
One of the vermilion birds took out a bejeweled seal and gently activated it, releasing boundless blessings into the sky.
These were the blessings that Vermilion Bird Primes had sealed in the past; now, they hovered above the East Spiritual Fire Sea.
The avian-type animal spirits from back then had already declined, leaving the Vermilion Bird Primes.
Seven vermilion bird incarnations slowly appeared in the blessings cloud sea.
Bang!
A loud noise echoed as one of the vermilion bird incarnations suddenly scattered. Clearly, that Vermilion Bird Prime had already perished, and the blessings could no longer locate it.
Qiqi is truly dead! one of the vermilion birds said with a grim expression.
When Master returns, well seek revenge! Qiqi must be avenged! another burly man said resolutely.
Right! The others nodded and clenched their fists.
Boom!
Just then, Essence Genesiss incarnation appeared above their blessings cloud sea.
Who is it?
What is this?
The six Vermilion Bird Primes glared.
They saw Essence Genesis calmly issuing an announcement.
The United Rule Meet? Such audacity! Who does this person think he is? one of the vermilion birds grumbled indignantly.
Wait, its not just our blessings cloud sea. Look, the blessings cloud seas of the four major factions in the nether realm also have his incarnation?
Who is this person? How can he connect to all the blessings cloud seas in the world?
Given this, the United Rule Meet five days later will gather most of the factions in the world. Should we go and see?
We must go! Eldest Brother, Ill go!
Im going too!
The vermilion birds looked at Zhu Yiyi.
Zhu Yiyi remained silent for a moment before saying, Master instructed us not to be too conspicuous. Second Younger Brother, Sixth Younger Brother, you should go!
Alright! The vermilion birds nodded.
------
Yin Tiger Deity Hall, the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, the nether realm:
The Unrestrained Heavenly Demon looked skywards.
Milord, Essence Genesis is too arrogant, isnt he? The United Rule Meet? Does he want to dominate the world? Where does that leave us? the Bellowing Griever Heavenly Demon sneered.
Hah! The United Rule Meet? The Vermilion Bird Primes will also attend. I was originally thinking of how to invite them for a meeting. Now, theres no need. Lets go to Essence Genesis Hall! ???????????.???
------
Great Desolation City, Yan Heavenly Dynasty, land of the living:
Ba stood at the entrance of Divine Flame Hall, gazing coldly at the vanis.h.i.+ng Essence Genesiss incarnation in the sky.
Elder Sister, Essence Genesis sure is audacious. Could he be inviting all the experts of the world and then planning to dominate everyone at Essence Genesis Hall? Jingwei asked curiously.
Im not sure yet, but he definitely wants something from us since he organized this United Rule Meet! Ba replied, her voice serious.
So, are we going? Jingwei furrowed her brow.
Why not? Haha! Since its establishment eight hundred thousand years ago, the Myriad Age Daoist Sect has always relied on external support, thinking they are invincible due to some heavenly protection and using that as their backer to scare people off. Little did everyone know, theres someone like Essence Genesis hidden within it? Bas eyes narrowed.
Oh! Jingwei nodded in confusion.
------
Deity Seizing Halls entrance, Spirit Mountain, the western region of the land of the living:
Jiangchen stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the distant Myriad Age Daoist Sect.
Veritable Lord, has Essence Genesis gone mad? Inviting all the worlds experts? Does he really think hes unrivaled in the world? Long Aotian exclaimed in shock.
Thats what makes it interesting, isnt it? Jiangchen smiled faintly.
UrmVeritable Lord, do you want to attend? Long Aotian asked in surprise.
Long Aotian thought,
Veritable Lord is the one who is truly unrivaled in the world. Does he want to attend because he cant stand Essence Genesiss arrogance and wants to disrupt the event?
I want to go and see. The scene at Essence Genesis Hall five days from now will surely be spectacular! Jiangchen chuckled.
The entire world was currently discussing this invitation from Essence Genesis because it was an invitation to the whole world.
Major sects and imperial dynasties alike were deep in discussions, a.n.a.lyzing the implications of Essence Genesiss invitation.
The United Rule Meet? Was that not hinting at Essence Genesiss desire to unite the world? Also, inviting experts from all corners of the world?
What was his plan?
Some sect leaders and sovereigns were indifferent, thinking that the Myriad Age Daoist Sect was too far away. Nevertheless, some sovereigns and sect masters prepared to investigate further.
------
The emperors study, Borderless Heavenly Capital:
A group of high-ranking Han Nation officials diligently a.n.a.lyzed the meaning behind Essence Genesiss actions. However, no one could fathom his intentions.
Your Holy Eminence, Im willing to accompany Your Holy Eminence! Kong Xuan was the first to speak.
Your Holy Eminence, Im willing to go! the Mosquito Daoist chimed in.
The United Rule Meet taking place five days later attracted the attention of all the experts in the world, so it would be fraught with extreme peril. Nevertheless, the Han Nation officials were all eager to partic.i.p.ate.
