After spitting out the Xuanyuan Sword and letting the dragon vein consume it, Gu Hai’s true body entered the Gu’s Immortal Firmament.

Now, the officials finally calmed down from their excitement.

With the emperor back, there was nothing to worry about.

“Prime Shangguan, Prime Ao Sheng left with you. What happened to him?” Long Wanqing asked, looking at the dragon egg Shangguan Hen held.

Everyone had seen the dragon egg in Shangguan Hen’s hands earlier but had not had time to ask about it. Now that Long Wanqing asked, everyone felt curious.

“Ao Sheng gained an opportunity and formed a cocoon like I did back then. After he breaks out of his cocoon, he should be at the consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm,” Shangguan Hen replied, smiling down at the dragon egg.

“Oh?” The officials appeared shocked and also envious.

“I knew it! There are benefits to following His Reverence!” the Mosquito Daoist muttered under his breath.

“His Reverence has instructed me to take care of it until Prime Ao Sheng wakes up,” Shangguan Hen added.

Everyone nodded. It was Gu Hai who had thought meticulously about everything. At this moment, Ao Sheng was at its weakest. They had to prevent anything from happening to it.

“Bing Ji, come to our residence with us and tell us about what you encountered.” Chen Xianer smiled at Bing Ji.

Bing Ji showed a complicated expression but eventually nodded. “Yes!”

Chen Xianer, Long Wanqing, and Long Wanyu left with Bing Ji.

Naturally, the curious officials approached Shangguan Hen to ask what had happened.

“Mister Cangjie, if you do not disdain it, how about you stay at my residence during this time? This way, please.” Gu Qin smiled as he gestured in invitation to Cangjie.

Cangjie nodded, not refusing, and left with Gu Qin.

The officials dispersed.

However, Sima Changkong glanced at the nearby Lifespan Court and frowned slightly.

“Let’s go, Mister Sima. His Reverence has his plans,” Mo Yike said with a smile from beside him.

Sima Changkong looked at Mo Yike and eventually nodded.

The two had noticed some oddities with the Unborn Man. However, the Unborn Man was Empress Long’s father, so it was awkward to raise their concerns. Furthermore, as long as the Unborn Man did not harm the Han Imperial Dynasty, everyone would just keep one eye closed. At least, that was what Gu Hai did.

------

Lifespan Court:

The Unborn Man drove a forbidden technique, continuously drawing energy that seemed to be souls from Lifespan Dongfang, Lifespan Nangong, and Lifespan Beiming. The three trembled and slowly stiffened.

The Unborn Man’s body changed. His juvenile half started growing slowly, turning into that of an ordinary adult.

Although the Unborn Man still wore loose black-and-white robes, the white half seemed somewhat tight.

Eventually, Lifespan Dongfang, Lifespan Nangong, and Lifespan Beiming stopped moving; even their clothes did not move. They were like three statues, unbreathing.

“Unborn Man, you plundered their lifespan physical souls and refined them? How ruthless?!” the nearby Lifespan Chunshen roared.

A muscular man’s hand extended from the Unborn Man’s white sleeve. However, dark red cracks filled that hand. It seemed like a new body would soon emerge.

“The four life lifespan cultivations are with me now. Only the death lifespan cultivations remain. It is your turn next!” the Unborn Man said.

The Unborn Man still spoke in two simultaneous voices. One still sounded old, but the other was no longer juvenile. Instead, it was a vigorous, adult man’s voice.

“Don’t! You promised Gu Hai to open a permanent passageway between the nether realm and the land of the living. If I die, how are you going to open it?” Lifespan Chunshen pleaded anxiously.

“It does not matter. I can leave Lifespan Energy in your corpses. I just need the Life Lifespan Energy and the Death Lifespan Energy. With those, I can still open the passageway with your corpses,” the Unborn Man said indifferently.Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn ɴoᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt

“No! No! Back then, Fuxi declared this a forbidden technique. You will suffer heavenly retribution for doing this! If Fuxi were alive and knew you were doing this, he would regret passing down your two lines of lifespan cultivation!” Lifespan Chunshen said anxiously.

“Hah! Fuxi? Have you forgotten what this forbidden technique is?” the Unborn Man retorted coldly.

“The Eight Lifespan Corpse Reversal Technique!” Lifespan Chunshen said in horror.

“That’s right. It opposes heaven and changes fate, reversing life and death. If Fuxi returned to life, would he feel regret?” the Unborn Man said with a faint smile.

“You want to revive Fuxi? He has already died in every possible way. He cannot be revived!” Lifespan Chunshen argued while glaring.

“How would you know if you’ve never tried?” the Unborn Man sneered.

“According to this technique, you can use it only once. That means you can revive only one person. Don’t you want to revive Long Xiaoyue?” Lifespan Chunshen said in shock.

Long Xiaoyue—Long Wanqing and Long Wanyu’s mother—the woman whom the Unborn Man never forgot.

When the Unborn Man heard the name Long Xiaoyue, he stiffened, then said hatefully, “What do you know? Even if I revive Long Xiaoyue, she won’t be the true Long Xiaoyue. I need to revive Fuxi first, even if he is a fake!”

“However, do you know what level Fuxi was? He was the strongest expert in the world. Just how big a price would you need to revive him? The Han Imperial Dynasty cannot do it, even using everything. Unless you turn the Han Nation’s sovereign and all its officials into nourishment, you cannot bring Fuxi back. It is impossible for you!” Lifespan Chunshen roared.

“You talk too much!” the Unborn Man said coldly.

The Unborn Man’s hand moved subtly.

The chain piercing Lifespan Chunshen’s collarbone suddenly emitted an arc of electricity, making his body glow. Just like with the white-clad lifespan cultivators from before, the Unborn Man quickly drew out Lifespan Chunshen’s physical souls.

“Ah! Unborn Man, you will die a gruesome death. Are you killing me today, and then dealing with your son-in-law tomorrow? Just wait for heavenly retribution! Argh!” Lifespan Chunshen roared in pain.

“A dying man talking of heavenly retribution? Humph!” The Unborn Man continued driving the secret technique, refining Lifespan Chunshen.

Mister Starless’s residence, Xuanyuan City:

A zither puppet stood before Mister Starless.

When the zither puppet spoke, Gu Han’s voice rang out.

Mister Starless was Gu Ming. When he heard what Gu Han said, his expression turned slightly grave.

“Father captured Cangjie. Ji Dihong suffered a tremendous loss in the Hungry Ghost Path Secret Realm? Hah! Truly Father, indeed!” Some satisfaction flashed in Mister Starless’s eyes.

“Little Ming, although you are the smartest among us four brothers, I would not have told you all this if you had not initiated contact. Father once instructed me not to contact you lest we accidentally expose you. It would be extremely dangerous if you got exposed. You should take care.” Gu Han’s worried voice came from the zither puppet.

“Don’t worry, my second elder brother!” Mister Starless smiled faintly.

Mister Starless put the zither puppet away with a flip of his hand, and his smile disappeared.

After opening the door, he turned his head and looked in Xuanyuan Palace Hall’s direction.

Mister Starless gently tapped on the table. A corner of his mouth hooked up in a faint smile.

“Come in!” Mister Starless suddenly said.

Eight black-robed men walked into the hall from outside.

After the eight entered, the door closed. Then they activated a ritual array to isolate the inside from the outside.

“Eight masters, Gu Hai has captured Cangjie. There should be no one else to fear in Xuanyuan City. Ji Dihong has suffered a great defeat and will begin his revenge. You should make your preparations; don’t miss this opportunity,” Mister Starless said.

The eight looked at Mister Starless. One of them said, “What if Gu Hai interferes when we retrieve that item? Will you tell Gu Hai?”

Mister Starless frowned slightly. Then determination flashed in his eyes. “What is mine is mine. No one can interfere. Gu Hai? Not even Gu Hai!”

“Good. It’s great that you can figure it out. We will support you with everything we have,” the eight black-robed men said gravely.

“I’ll have to trouble the eight masters, then.” Mister Starless nodded.

The Gu’s Immortal Firmament:

Gu Hai stepped into the Gu’s Immortal Firmament. Right now, the Spiritual Progenitor deity king was at the edge of bursting.

Surging energy rushed into Gu Hai’s body, like great nourishment suddenly filling every single cell.

A loud sound rang out as Gu Hai’s body trembled. The nourishment had nearly overwhelmed him, the energy almost toppling him.

This was all the hungry ghosts from the Hungry Ghost Path Secret Realm, an immense amount of energy. Just a bit of runoff to nourish the physical body was still an incredibly vast amount.

Fortunately, Gu Hai’s physical body had already reached the level of a consummate Upper Heavenly Palace cultivator, allowing him to endure the nourishment, so the energy did not kill him.

Gu Hai’s physical body kept changing under this nourishment, continuously strengthening. His skin was now a dense black, giving the impression of immovability at a glance. His physical body advanced towards the level of the consummation of the spiritual souls, perhaps even stronger.

Now, Gu Hai no longer had to think about it.

The space within his dantian was vast. The Spiritual Progenitor deity king within it was already fifty-two kilometers tall. Energy flowed out endlessly, not just strengthening his physical body but also the five elemental deities.

The strength of the Spiritual Progenitor deity king was already a fact, and his physical body was destined to grow stronger. However, Gu Hai was more concerned about the Hunger Pearl in his left palm.

He broke the skin of his palm with much difficulty, and the Hunger Pearl spilled out.

Countless cracks covered the Hunger Pearl. Since Gu Hai had used the power of the hungry ghost Dao’s laws, only an empty shell remained.

However, the empty shell still contained the law patterns of the hungry ghost path of reincarnation.

“Death and Life Register!” Gu Hai waved.

The Death and Life Register immediately flew over, opened, and pulled in the empty Hunger Pearl.

Many patterns appeared on a page of the Death and Life Register, recording the hungry ghost path of reincarnation.

Then the Hunger Pearl turned into a clump of black energy.

Gu Hai gently waved, and the hungry ghost Dao’s laws manifested in the Gu’s Immortal Firmament as the image of a towering tree. However, it was just an image, a form without the power.

“The shaman race geniuses are truly incredible. The six paths of reincarnation? I already have five; all I lack is the heaven path of reincarnation. Perhaps the Gu’s Immortal Firmament can reach the same level as the Six Paths Immortal Firmament and the Sa’s Immortal Firmament, able to exist in the void safely.” Anticipation flashed in Gu Hai’s eyes.
