Book 05 Chapter 113: Ripping the “Song of Noble Spirit”
Above a desolate stone forest outside the heavenly court’s cities, a sea of fire blazed, scorching this slice of sky and ground.
A group of Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples stood outside the sea of flames, led by the Supreme Ascendant Dao’s Elder Xuan En.
“The intel is right?” Xuan En looked coldly at the sea of fire in front.
“The Qian Nation kept their guard up against our Myriad Age Daoist Sect, so we could not get any information from the heavenly court’s cities. Countless flying ships fly in and out every day. There is no way to know which one belongs to Gu Hai. It was the Divine Strategy Battalion disciples that came to inform the Grand Mohist of Gu Hai’s departure. They even pointed out his flying ship. That’s why the Grand Mohist went there,” a Supreme Ascendant disciple said respectfully.
“Elder, can the Divine Strategy Battalion be trusted? Does Li Shenji have a grudge with Gu Hai? Could he be lying to the Grand Mohist?” another subordinate asked worriedly.
“It can’t be wrong. When Li Shenji was in the heavenly court’s cities, he tried to harm Gu Hai. Humph! It should be right,” Xuan En said with a cold expression.
“Elder, the Grand Mohist has been very mysterious recently. Why does she have to kill Gu Hai personally?”
Xuan En showed a sullen expression. “If the Grand Mohist does not personally kill Gu Hai, her cultivation might be crippled.”
“Ah? Why?”
“Because she is the Supreme Ascendant. The Supreme Ascendant has to be emotionless and indifferent. Gu Hai? You are really fortunate. To think that you managed to break the Grand Mohist’s Dao heart. It looks like you have entered her heart,” Xuan En said with a sullen expression.
“How can this be? The Grand Mohist did not say anything…”
“Of course, the Grand Mohist wouldn’t tell you. If she did, could she still be the Grand Mohist?” Xuan En said with a cold expression as he looked at the distant firestorm.
——
In the vast fire:
Surging Samādhi True Flame encased Gu Hai.
“Hall Master!” Many of the Elite Hall disciples showed anxious expressions.
The instant the Grand Mohist used the Samādhi True Flame to surround Gu Hai, her heart thumped heavily for some reason.
Suddenly, the Samādhi True Flame shrank towards the center, heading for Gu Hai’s mouth.
Whoosh!
A powerful suction came from Gu Hai’s mouth as he drew in the raging Samādhi True Flame like a whale sucking in water.
“What?” The Grand Mohist’s expression changed.
Rumble…!
All the Samādhi True Flame entered Gu Hai’s mouth in the blink of an eye as though Gu Hai’s mouth was where the fire belonged in the first place. It was not just the Samādhi True Flame but all the flames in the surroundings.
A sea of fire filled the surrounding five hundred kilometers. However, Gu Hai sucked it up like it was just mist.
Mu Chenfeng and the Elite Hall disciples appeared horrified.
“That is the Samādhi True Flame, something that can melt even the most stubborn materials. Why can you swallow the Samādhi True Flame?” The Grand Mohist glared.
However, the surrounding fire weakened. Soon, the sea of fire had disappeared.
Far away, the expressions of Xuan En and the other Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples changed.
Gu Hai closed his mouth and swallowed all the flames.
“Grand Mohist, your Samādhi True Flame cannot hurt me. Think about what I said,” Gu Hai said seriously.
“I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!” The Grand Mohist showed a ferocious expression as she activated the small bottle in her hand again.
Rumble…!

Surging fire rushed at Gu Hai again.
Shwoop!
Gu Hai opened his mouth and sucked again. An even more powerful suction than earlier pulled the Samādhi True Flame into his mouth at an extremely fast speed.
He sucked in however much was brought out.
Crack!
Finally, that small bottle shattered. Gu Hai had ingested all of the fire.
“How can that be? That is the Fire Storing Bottle, the only treasure that can store the Eight Trigram Furnace’s Samādhi True Flame. Yet, it shattered?” The Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples in the distance appeared confused.
“Evil villain, die!” the Grand Mohist shouted.
Shing!
A sword light rushed at Gu Hai.
“Fourth Cycle!”
Boom!
A loud sound rang out when purple light from the Life Executioner Saber clashed with the sword light.
Previously, Gu Hai had to bring out the Life Executioner Saber, the Life Killer Saber, and the Life Ender Saber and barely managed to block her attack. Now, all he needed was the Life Executioner Saber.
Gu Hai took a step back, but the Grand Mohist also took a step back.
The sword and saber clashed, apparently equal.
“Your cultivation regressed further?” Gu Hai felt slightly startled.
Hatred blazed in the Grand Mohist’s eyes. It was Gu Hai who caused her cultivation to regress continuously. Now, she could not even kill him.
“Everything will be fine as long as I can kill you! Everything will be fine!” The Grand Mohist showed a ferocious expression as she swung her sword again.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sword and the saber clashed again as the two exchanged moves.
“Prepare the Heaven Blasting Cannon!” Mu Chenfeng shouted.
“Mu Chenfeng, don’t interfere!” Gu Hai shouted while in battle.
“Yes!” Mu Chenfeng immediately answered, appearing somewhat anxious.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Saber lights and sword lights from the battle between Gu Hai and the Grand Mohist filled the sky. Countless sword qi and saber qi swept through the space around the two. However, a victor did not emerge.
The Grand Mohist appeared increasingly anxious.
Far away, Xuan En narrowed his eyes slightly. “To think that the Grand Mohist’s strength has regressed so much. Peak Lower Heavenly Palace Realm?”
“Indeed. Isn’t the Grand Mohist an Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator? How…?” The Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples appeared confused.
“The Grand Mohist is left with only the strength of a Lower Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator. It looks like I was right. Gu Hai broke her Dao heart. This Gu Hai is quite incredible. Nascent Soul Realm? To think that he possesses the strength of a peak Lower Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator as a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator! We have underestimated him.” Xuan En showed a sullen expression.
Rumble…!
As Gu Hai and the Grand Mohist clashed, the Grand Mohist found it increasingly taxing. From being able to fight to his heart’s content at the start, Gu Hai slowly gained an advantage.
Clang!
The saber and the sword clashed, maintaining a stalemate.
“Grand Mohist, let’s stop here. Back then, I unintentionally offended you. That was the doing of the black cat,” Gu Hai said.
“Dream on! I will not rest unless I kill you today!” A ferocious scowl of hatred distorted the Grand Mohist’s beautiful face.
It seemed like her grievances would spew out of her eyes.
“You can’t kill me! You are weakening with time. You are not a match for me. Furthermore, you got it wrong. Your cultivation did not regress because your Dao broke. On the contrary, this perfects your Dao heart. The Supreme Ascendant Dao has Taiji as its foundation. Taiji takes the form of Yin and Yang. Yang alone will not bring forth life, and Yin alone will not grow. You…,” Gu Hai coaxed.
Suppressed by the saber, the Grand Mohist seemed to be at wit’s end.
Shing!
Suddenly, a sword light appeared beside Gu Hai.
“What?” Gu Hai’s face sank. He knocked away the Grand Mohist with the Life Executioner Saber and hastily sent a manifested saber to meet the sword light.
Boom!
The manifested saber shattered, and the sword light arrived in front of Gu Hai, shooting towards his chest.
Just as the sword light was about to strike Gu Hai, the Life Killer Saber and the Life Ender Saber came out from his skin.
Boom! Boom!
Gu Hai went flying back, but he managed to block that sword light that suddenly appeared.
“Who is it?” The Grand Mohist’s face sank as she turned her head to look.
The Life Killer Saber and the Life Ender Saber flew around Gu Hai as he held the Life Executioner Saber while looking around.
He saw a group of people nearby.
“Xuan En?” Gu Hai’s expression turned cold as he looked at the leader.
“You survived even that?” Xuan En’s face sank as he looked at Gu Hai.
“You lot? Why are you here?” the Grand Mohist demanded furiously as her expression changed.
Then, she saw two Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples with their heads lowered.
“You vile things, how dare you betray me?!” the Grand Mohist snarled with a glare.
“Grand Mohist, we were just worried for your safety, so…so…,” the two disciples said in horror.
“Grand Mohist, even if they had not spoken, we would have known about it. Li Shenji wants to kill Gu Hai. If you failed to kill Gu Hai, he would have sent people to inform us,” Xuan En immediately said.
“You already know?” the Grand Mohist said with a sullen expression.
“The Grand Mohist’s business is the Supreme Ascendant Dao’s business; it is our business!” Xuan En said with certainty.
“Since Grand Mohist wants to kill Gu Hai, there’s no need for you to fight him. Let us do it.”
“Indeed, let us do it!”
The Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples clamored.
“How dare you?!” The Grand Mohist appeared anxious.
However, Xuan En smiled faintly. “Various elders, the Grand Mohist is no longer a match for Gu Hai. Let’s do it for her!”
“That’s right! Grand Mohist, let us do it!” the others called out.
A sullen look flashed in the Grand Mohist’s eyes.
“Xuan En and you elders, are you rebelling?!” the Grand Mohist demanded coldly.
There were about fifty Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples. Five of them had taiji diagrams on the chest of their white robes. Clearly, they were the Supreme Ascendant Dao’s elders.
The five elders wanted to help the Grand Mohist to kill Gu Hai, but she did not care for that.
Xuan En smiled coldly and said, “Grand Mohist, your Dao heart broke? You can only restore it perfectly by personally killing Gu Hai. If we kill Gu Hai, your Dao heart will never recover its perfect state. We know that. However, are you even capable of killing Gu Hai now?”
“You! You! Are you thinking of snatching away my Grand Mohist position? You are not worthy yet!” the Grand Mohist said coldly.
“At the very least, we can kill Gu Hai, right?” Xuan En shook his head.
The other four elders showed murderous intentions as they looked at Gu Hai.
The sullen Grand Mohist was helpless about the situation.
Ad
“Everyone, Gu Hai has humiliated our Myriad Age Daoist Sect several times, even killed First Senior Brother Xuan Du’s nephew, Feng Tonglao. How about we make sure Gu Hai never leaves this place today?” Xuan En said, his voice sinking.
“We will listen to Senior Brother Xuan En!” the Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples called out.
The Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples no longer cared about the Grand Mohist’s words.
“Prepare the Heaven Blasting Cannon!” Mu Chenfeng waved his hand.
However, Gu Hai shook his head and said, “There’s no need. Five elders of the Supreme Ascendant Dao—five Middle Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators—and a group of Lower Heavenly Palace Realm disciples. The Heaven Blasting Cannon is not enough—but there’s no need for it.”
“Huh? Yes!” Mu Chenfeng showed a worried expression.
Then, Gu Hai took out a scroll as he looked at Xuan En and the others coldly. “Five Middle Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators? None of you will leave today!”
Gu Hai extended his other hand to rip up that scroll.
The instant Gu Hai took out the scroll, it emanated surging noble spirit, even the crying of supernatural beings.
“There is noble spirit in the world, taking many forms.”
When the voices sounded, the five Supreme Ascendant Dao elders’ expressions changed.
“Oh no! It’s the ‘Song of Noble Spirit’!”
“Is Gu Hai crazy? What is he doing?”
“Hurry, kill him!”
Rip!
Just as the Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples felt anxious, Gu Hai ripped the “Song of Noble Spirit,” destroying it. Overwhelming noble spirit burst out and rushed into Gu Hai’s body.
