Everlasting Immortal Firmament

Book 5: Chapter 108: Tang Gu

Long Shenying, Long Shenwen, Long Shenwu, Sima Zongheng, Lifespan Beiming, and Ao Tianhuang loudly saluted Long Zhanguo.

The human path of reincarnation behind Long Zhanguo vanished. As he walked, his figure reverted to normal. His bare torso showed a mangled, bloody back. While he appeared in a sorry state, he gave the impression of boundless power.

Long Zhanguo put away the Heaven Splitting Ax and spread his arms. Some attendants immediately came forward and put a new set of imperial robes on him.

Long Zhanguo raised his head and looked at the sky coldly, not showing much joy.

Naturally, the Qian Nation citizens cheered joyfully when Long Zhanguo defeated Heaven. However, the Supreme Genesis, the Future Buddha, and the people of the other factions all felt differently.

“Amitābha! Con…congratulations, Qian Heavenly Emperor!” The Future Buddha suddenly bowed.

When the Future Buddha bowed, the bodhisattvas and arhats also bowed respectfully.

The Supreme Genesis showed fear on his face. As he looked at Long Zhanguo, his eyelids twitched wildly. Back when Long Zhanguo told him that he had not attacked him because Long Zhanguo had invited him over, the Supreme Genesis had not thought much of it. Now, he no longer doubted it.

“Con…congratulations, Qian Heavenly Emperor.” The Supreme Genesis bowed respectfully as well.

When facing Heaven, all life had to kneel. Bowing to Long Zhanguo, who had defeated Heaven, was in no way disgraceful.

The Solar Divine Palace disciples bowed together with the Supreme Genesis.

This was the power of strength in this world.

The Six Paths Immortal was the immortal; he was Heaven. He should be the strongest existence in this world.

The Six Paths Immortal had lost to Long Zhanguo. Now, Long Zhanguo was the strongest in the world.

All the invited experts in the surroundings bowed.

“Congratulations, Qian Heavenly Emperor!” All those of the external factions bowed respectfully.

Only now did the Qian Heavenly Emperor lower his head to look down, surveying the various experts.

“Since the Ten Thousand Sages Convention has ended, this humble one shall not bother the Qian Heavenly Emperor any further. I need to return immediately and report to the other buddhas. Hence, I bid farewell to Qian Heavenly Emperor,” the Future Buddha said with another respectful bow.

The Future Buddha had opposed the Qian Heavenly Emperor earlier. He worried that Long Zhanguo would take it to heart. Even if Long Zhanguo did not take it to heart, his officials might. Those officials would definitely attack him to pander to Long Zhanguo, so the Future Buddha had to leave as soon as possible.

“Alright.” The Qian Heavenly Emperor nodded.

After the Qian Heavenly Emperor nodded, the Future Buddha’s tense expression eased somewhat. “Goodbye!”

The Future Buddha bowed again, flung his sleeves out, and quickly flew into the distance with the Spirit Mountain Holy Land experts.

Whoosh!

They turned into beams of lights that immediately vanished from Heavenly Yin City.

Ao Tianhuang, Long Shenying, and the others coldly watched the Future Buddha leave.

The Supreme Genesis trembled. Naturally, he understood what the Future Buddha was thinking.

“This humble one has to return to the Solar Divine Palace as well. As such, I take my leave from the Qian Heavenly Emperor!” the Supreme Genesis said respectfully.

Long Zhanguo looked at Supreme Genesis with somewhat cold eyes.

At this moment, the Supreme Genesis felt extremely nervous, afraid that Long Zhanguo would not let him go.

“Bring a message back to the Supreme Singularity,” Long Zhanguo said indifferently.

“Qian Heavenly Emperor, tell me the message,” the Supreme Genesis immediately said respectfully.

“Tell the Supreme Singularity that we will visit the Solar Divine Palace soon to view the blazing sun with him,” Long Zhanguo said.

The Supreme Genesis’s pupils constricted, and some fluster flashed on his face. However, he still said respectfully, “Yes. I will bring the message to him!”

“Alright.” Long Zhanguo nodded.

This meant that the Qian Heavenly Emperor let the Supreme Genesis go.

Initially, the Supreme Genesis wanted to leave immediately. However, he saw Bing Ji when he looked around.

“Bing Ji, you have already accomplished your task in the Han Royal Dynasty. It is time. Are you coming back with me?” the Supreme Genesis asked in a heavy voice.

“Bing Ji will not go with you,” Gu Hai said.

Naturally, Gu Hai did not want Bing Ji to return to the Solar Divine Palace, even if he had to be enemies with the Solar Divine Palace.

Gu Hai shielded Bing Ji, looking coldly at the Supreme Genesis.

However, Bing Ji looked at Gu Hai with a gentle expression. Some guilt and sorrow flashed in her eyes.

Bing Ji turned her head and looked at the nearby Emperor Kong. Then, her expression changed.

“Your Majesty, excuse me.” Bing Ji suddenly bowed.

“Huh? Bing Ji, what are you doing?” Gu Hai had a bad premonition, and his face sank.

“This subject has received much care from Your Majesty during my time in the Han Royal Dynasty. This subject is incapable, unable to contribute much to the Han Royal Dynasty. I only brought trouble to Your Majesty. This subject has let Your Majesty down. Please permit this subject to return to the Solar Divine Palace. Sorry, Your Majesty!” Bing Ji immediately bowed respectfully.

“Bing Ji, we do not blame you. Why are you returning to the Solar Divine Palace? That Supreme Genesis kept forcing you to do things, but you want to return? Isn’t that simply entering the tiger’s den?” Some anxiety flashed in Gu Hai’s eyes.

“I’m sorry, Your Majesty. This subject has made up her mind. Pardon me, Your Majesty!” Bing Ji flew towards the Supreme Genesis.

“Bing Ji!” Gu Hai extended his hand to grab Bing Ji.

Bang!

The Supreme Genesis suddenly waved his hand, and a shock wave knocked Gu Hai back. However, Bing Ji continued flying towards the Supreme Genesis.

“Supreme Genesis!” Gu Hai showed murderous intent in his eyes.

“Gu Hai, Bing Ji is a Solar Divine Palace disciple in the first place. It is not your place to interfere if she wants to return,” the Supreme Genesis said while glaring.

“Your Majesty, there’s no need to worry about me. I’m fine!” Bing Ji insisted anxiously.

“Alright. Cut the crap. Let’s go!” The Supreme Genesis flung his sleeves out, sending out a gust of wind as he swept up all the Solar Divine Palace disciples.

Whoosh!

The Supreme Genesis and his men reached the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Gu Hai watched Bing Ji leave, not giving chase. Instead, he showed a sullen expression.

“Elder Sister Bing Ji has gone too far!” Long Wanyu appeared angry as she watched Bing Ji leave.

Brother-in-Law treated Bing Ji so well, but Bing Ji betrayed Brother-in-Law in front of so many people?

Gu Hai did not blame Bing Ji. He only clenched his fist, feeling upset in his heart. “Bing Ji, I know you don’t want to bring us trouble. However, we are not afraid of trouble.”

Gu Hai felt disappointed and frustrated as he watched Bing Ji leave.

——

Far away:

After the Supreme Genesis brought all the Solar Divine Palace disciples away, he took out a flying ship, and everyone boarded. On the flying ship, Bing Ji kept staring in Heavenly Yin City’s direction. Although she could no longer see Gu Hai, she was still reluctant to turn away. However, tears flowed out of her eyes.

“What’s wrong? You can’t bear to leave that gigolo behind? Bing Ji, let’s see how you give an account to the Supreme Singularity when you return. Humph!” the Supreme Genesis snorted coldly.

Bing Ji did not say anything, only biting her lips.

When Bing Ji ignored him, the Supreme Genesis snorted coldly, “Humph!”

Then, the Supreme Genesis left Bing Ji alone while she stared at the heavenly court’s cities disappearing into the distance.

Suddenly, Bing Ji smiled and muttered to herself, “Your Majesty, did you know that Emperor Kong also wanted to take me away? If I had remained by your side, that Emperor Kong would have used unscrupulous means to deal with you. This subject is incapable, always bringing trouble to Your Majesty. Your Majesty, there’s no need to worry about me. No matter how cruel a tiger is, the tiger will not devour its cubs. Furthermore, I’m…”

As Bing Ji rubbed her tears away, she went to a room in the flying ship.

In a restaurant in Heavenly Yin City:

Lord Tang looked at the distant plaza in shock while leading his subordinates.

“Lord Tang, what…what should we do now? When the imperial lord sent us, he did not anticipate such a result,” one of the subordinates said worriedly.

“Defeating Heaven? The imperial lord indeed could not have expected this!” Lord Tang narrowed his eyes slightly.

“That…”

“Cancel all operations. We are not continuing!” Lord Tang said coldly.

“Yes. Unfortunately, the imperial lord invested a lot into this.”

We are Hosted Novel, find us on google.

“No matter how much he invested, it is useless. This is the only way to minimize losses. However, it does not matter. We can bring back an even greater gift to the imperial lord.”

“Oh?”

“Gu Hai!” Lord Tang said while narrowing his eyes.

“Gu Hai? Lord Tang, it seems like the Azure Emperor is also determined to obtain Gu Hai.”

“Indeed. The Azure Emperor, Emperor Kong, and all the other factions want to obtain Gu Hai. Previously, Gu Hai just showed boundless talent and potential. His plans and schemes are pretty good. While such people are rare, they do still exist. Now, things are different. Heaven has taken away the cultural Dao’s laws. There is no more cultural Dao that can be used. However, Gu Hai still has a usable cultural Dao law, a transcendent scripture!” Lord Tang said.

“The Classic of the Dao and Virtue?” That subordinate’s expression changed.

A subordinate at the side said in shock, “Indeed. How did I forget? Now, writing with the calligraphy Dao can no longer bring out any laws. Even the holy Dao scriptures cannot grow stronger. They can only retain their previous might and may even grow weaker over time. However, the strong Supreme Ascendant Scripture was not a match for the Classic of the Dao and Virtue.”

“Obtaining Gu Hai means obtaining the Classic of the Dao and Virtue?”

The subordinates goggled.

After all, the Supreme Ascendant’s line of inheritance was supported by the Supreme Ascendant Scripture. Yet, Gu Hai, a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, had the Classic of the Dao and Virtue, something even stronger than the Supreme Ascendant Scripture. Who knew how many people were targeting it. Could he protect it?

“Lord Tang, do you think the imperial lord can bring Gu Hai back? However, the Azure Emperor is also targeting him. How do we persuade him?”

“With the old man’s temper, no one can persuade him. Even the Qian Heavenly Emperor would find it hard to get him to submit,” Lord Tang said while shaking his head.

“Ah? Then, we…”

“While others can’t, I can!” Lord Tang narrowed his eyes slightly.

“Why?”

“Because I am called Tang Gu,” Lord Tang said with a confident smile.

However, his subordinates did not understand.

——

In the plaza, Gu Hai watched Bing Ji leave. Then, he sighed and turned his head back to look around.

Indeed, aside from looking at Long Zhanguo, all the experts of the various factions also looked at Gu Hai with greed in their eyes.

“You want my Classic of the Dao and Virtue? Hah!” Gu Hai showed a faint, cold smile.

Just as Gu Hai turned his head to look at Long Zhanguo, all his hair stood on end as he sensed a murderous intent.

“Evil villain, die!” A shout rang out, and a white sword turned into a beam of light shooting at Gu Hai’s face.

The murderous intent was very intense, and the attack was swift, threatening to cut Gu Hai in half in an instant.

“The Supreme Ascendant?”

“Grand Mohist, don’t!”

“Oh no!”

Startled cries came from the surroundings.
