Book 5: Chapter 105: When Heaven Rages, All Life Kneels
The instant Gu Hais spiritual souls returned to his physical body, the Heaven Suppressing Divine Imperial Seal in his forehead s.p.a.ce vibrated intensely.
Boom!
Gu Hai trembled, coming to his senses from the black cats technique.
The moment Gu Hai regained his senses, he sent his consciousness throughout his body and immediately noticed the strangeness in it.
The fire calabash returned to the fire deity palace.
Bing Jis nascent soul hugged the water deity in the water deity palace.
Chen Xianer hugged the metal deity in the metal deity palace.
The Grand Mohists nascent soul hugged the earth deity in the earth deity palace.
Now, Gu Hai had fully returned to his senses while the three women were starting to wake up.
Xianer? Gu Hais face lit up in joy.
In the next moment, Gu Hais expression changed. He recalled that Chen Xianer did not have a physical body. What would happen to her mortal soul without a body?
You depraved villain! Ill kill you! the Grand Mohists nascent soul roared with a ferocious expression the moment it came to its senses.
The Grand Mohists nascent soul sent out a stream of powerful brownish-yellow energy from Gu Hais earth deity palace.
Boom!
Gu Hai felt that his entire body was going to explode.
The nascent souls of Bing Ji and the Grand Mohist, and Chen Xianers mortal soul flew out of Gu Hais mouth amid the explosion.
Xianer! Gu Hai roared furiously while glaring.
Bing Jis nascent soul immediately returned to her body.
Boom!
A powerful shock wave suddenly came from Bing Jis body and swept through the plaza.
Middle Heavenly Palace? Bing Jis cultivation reached the Middle Heavenly Palace Realm? Coital cultivation technique? Humph! To think that my Ji Clans coital cultivation technique was used on someone not belonging to my clans faction? Emperor Kong narrowed his eyes.
The Grand Mohists nascent soul immediately returned as well.
Buzz!
When the Grand Mohists nascent soul returned, she did not stand up in a rage. Instead, she continuously muttered to herself.
The Supreme Ascendant is in my heart, emotionless and indifferent. I am ice; the mundane does not affect me. The Grand Mohist anxiously drove her cultivation technique.
Once the Supreme Ascendant Daos cultivation technique failed, ones cultivation would decrease drastically, damaging the body and also the mind. The damage to the mind was even more terrifying of the two.
The Grand Mohist anxiously stabilized her mind and cultivation.
Gu Hai extended his hand, holding a small blue ball.
When Chen Xianers mortal soul flew out, it immediately returned to being a small blue ball.
The primitive body of a mortal soul? She transformed back? Gu Hais expression changed, betraying some anger.
However, he could only sigh.
I suppose transforming into the primitive body is better than scattering, Gu Hai sighed softly.
Gu Hai extended his hand and took out a jade box. Then, he gingerly placed the primitive body of Chen Xianers mortal soul into it, storing it with great care.
Bing Ji woke up already. She felt guilty.
When she raised her head, she happened to meet the Supreme Genesiss murderous gaze.
On the other side, Emperor Kong looked at Bing Ji coldly, causing Bing Jis expression to sink.
Your Majesty, I let you down earlier, Bing Ji said bitterly.
We already said we do not blame you, Gu Hai said gently.
However, the more Gu Hai behaved this way, the more pained Bing Ji felt.
Gu Hai turned to look at the Grand Mohist. Seeing her brow beaded with sweat as she anxiously tried to stabilize her cultivation, he frowned slightly, not knowing what to say.
Grand Mohist! Grand Mohist, my souls got swapped out earlier! The subordinate beside the Grand Mohist felt very anxious when he returned to his body.
This was the Supreme Ascendant Dao disciple that the Grand Mohist picked to enter the Human Path Secret Realm. Unfortunately, he had his souls swapped with Bodhisattva Zi Zhus.
Gu Hai turned to look at Bodhisattva Zi Zhu and saw that she had now weakly opened her eyes.
When she saw Gu Hai across the distance, her expression immediately changed, and she s.h.i.+vered.
Bodhisattva Zi Zhu, how are you? the bodhisattvas asked worriedly.
However, Bodhisattva Zi Zhu kept trembling, unable to speak. All she could do was stare at Gu Hai.
Humph! What a troublemaker! Gu Hais expression turned cold.
Brother-in-Law, you woke up? Thats great! The old fogey has also just succeeded! Long Wanyu looked at Gu Hai with excitement.
At this moment, most of the people no longer paid attention to Gu Hai. Instead, they looked at Long Zhanguo, who had auspicious clouds over his head.
Long Zhanguo closed his eyes, holding a bubble. This bubble seemed to have a blue whirlpool inside that showed a pa.s.sageway. As it slowly spun, it appeared to be drawing boundless special energy from the world.
Rumble!
The lifespan ritual arrays barrier surrounding Heaven Yin City disappeared, drawn into the bubble in Long Zhanguos hand like water into a whales mouth.
Aside from that, boundless blue light in the air seemed to be being forcefully absorbed.
All the Qian Nation officials stood guard by Long Zhanguos side. Lifespan Beiming, Long Shenying, Long Shenwen, Long Shenwu, Sima Zongheng, Ao Tianhuang, and various experts kept watch over the surroundings, waiting for Long Zhanguo to open his eyes.
That is the old fogeys immortal firmament. I heard it was called an immortal firmament. Brother-in-Law, do you know what that is? I heard the others calling it the Warring Nation Immortal Firmament! Long Wanyu said, feeling curious.
[TL Note: The immortal firmament is named after Long Zhanguo, but I chose to translate his name for a more aesthetically pleasing effect. Otherwise, it would have been Zhanguo Immortal Firmament.]
Immortal firmament? Gu Hais expression changed.
The world we are in is the Six Paths Immortal Firmament.
If that is an immortal firmament in Long Zhanguos hand, then is Long Zhanguo holding a world in his hand?
Laozi once told me that I have to find an immortal firmament first. Is this the immortal firmament that he mentioned?
The old fogey pulled the Human Path Secret Realm from earlier into the Warring Nation Immortal Firmament. Look! Ah? Long Wanyus expression changed as she pointed to the sky.
A crack in s.p.a.ce suddenly appeared where the Human Path Secret Realm had been.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The crack suddenly split into two, then four, then eight. Eventually, there were thousands of cracks spreading in all directions.
Buzz!
Black energy surged out of the spatial cracks, covering the plaza and extending out. From Heavenly Yin City, they spread to the rest of the heavenly courts thirty-three cities and continued growing. It seemed like the world had been injured. The spatial cracks proliferated, immediately covering the entire Divine Continent.
Argh! It hurts! A furious roar suddenly came from the tears in s.p.a.ce.
This voice was thunderous, containing a strange might that seemed to penetrate the souls.
Plop! Plop! Plop!
Suddenly, almost everyone in Heavenly Yin City knelt.
Bing Ji, Long Wanyu, the Grand Mohist, the Future Buddha, the Supreme Genesis, even Long Shenying, Long Shenwu, Long Shenwen, the Azure Emperor, Emperor Kong, all the Qian Nation citizens, and all the Qian Nation soldiers fell to their knees.
Nearly everyone kneltfrom Heavenly Yin City to the rest of the heavenly courts thirty-three cities, the entire Qian Heavenly Dynasty, even the entire Divine Continent.
Nearly everyone knelt for no apparent reason but this voice.
That was Heavens furious roar. All life had to kneel before this might and tremble.
Only one person could remain standing in the Heavenly Yin Citys plaza, Long Zhanguo, the Qian Heavenly Emperor.
Even Gu Hai immediately felt an overwhelming pressure overhead; his souls instinctive reaction was to kneel.
Gu Hai had no way to resist the boundless pressure.
Kneel?
No!
This novel is _hosted_ by h0sted n0v3l.
Gu Hai did his best to resist, but he could not.
Boom!
The Heaven Suppressing Divine Imperial Seal in his forehead s.p.a.ce trembled, trying to resist this heavenly might.
Unfortunately, it was insufficient. Even after most of the pressure was reduced, the small portion that remained still made Gu Hais knees bend.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a blue light came from Gu Hais body. He sensed that the Mortal Soul Register was somewhere in his body, trying to resist the heavenly might. However, it was still insufficient.
Thud!
At the final moment before Gu Hai fell to his knees, he twisted his body to drop sideways on the ground.
However, the pressure from the heavenly might still compelled him to kneel.
Gu Hai only managed to avoid kneeling with the aid of the Mortal Soul Register and the Heaven Suppressing Divine Imperial Seal. Even so, he could not move.
Heavenly might? Shock flashed in Gu Hais eyes.
Just the voice pressured all life into kneeling?
Brother-in-Law, IIm afraid. Sob! Sob! Sob! Long Wanyu whispered in fear as she knelt.
Gu Hai could not even resist; how could he spare time to console Long Wanyu?
Long Zhanguo had s.n.a.t.c.hed away the Human Path Secret Realm and startled Heaven awake. Was Heaven going to shower his rage on all life?
A hint of horror flashed in Gu Hais eyes as he looked at the nearby Long Zhanguo.
Everyone but Long Zhanguo knelt. He was the only one standing, proudly facing the rage from Heaven alone.
All life knelt, only Long Zhanguo did not.
Long Zhanguo seemed to be enduring the most pressure. Intense wind appearing to carry heavenly might blasted him.
However, only his imperial robes flapped in the wind. He did not show any signs of being pressured. He did not even open his eyes.
Rumble!
The dark clouds above the heavenly courts cities thickened and roiled, starting to show hints of red.
Long Zhanguos imperial robes flapped even more violently. It seemed that Heavens rage had locked on to him. As the intense wind blew, countless wind blades flew towards him.
However, Long Zhanguos eyes opened just at this moment.
Buzz!
The moment Long Zhanguo opened his eyes, a nine-colored light shot out.
Boom!
The winds of rage howling at Long Zhanguo exploded and scattered. It seemed like the heavenly might could not affect him at all. In fact, the auspicious clouds over his head seemed to grow larger.
As Heaven raged, Long Zhanguo remained unmoved, standing there proudly as he looked coldly at the reddening clouds in the sky. His eyes shone with ferocious, murderous intent.
My Human Path Secret Realm! Who did it?! A thunderous furious roar came from the sky again.
Boom! Boom!
Two loud reports rang out in the sky. The red clouds suddenly parted, and a pair of cold, blue eyes appeared in the sky.
The two eyes seemed to occupy the entire sky. Each eye was even larger than the heavenly courts thirty-three cities, more so by a hundredfolda thousandfold.
These eyes were so cold that they inspired a bone-piercing chill.
Just one look from these eyes could freeze one with fear.
They were Heavens eyes, looking coldly at the land. They shone with fury as they turned to Long Zhanguo.
