Book 06 Chapter 105.2: Six Paths Veritable Lord Comes Again, Part 2
Jiang Lianshan used a powerful technique to reincarnate Yaner into the family of a Qian Heavenly Dynasty official. That official had the Murong family name.
Thus, Yaner reincarnated as Murong Yan.
Although Yaner’s appearance changed slightly, she still was a great beauty that could topple nations.
Jiang Lianshan arranged for a series of coincidences, resulting in Murong Yan meeting Long Zhanguo. Every time they met, she shook Long Zhanguo’s heart.
Long Zhanguo eventually discovered that Jiang Lianshan sent the Murong Clan to spy on him. The Murong Clan was guilty of treason, and he punished the entire clan. No matter how Murong Yan pleaded with Long Zhanguo, he ignored her.
Back then, Murong Yan had organized poetry conventions in the Qian Nation’s capital to attract Long Zhanguo’s attention. These had also attracted the attention of many talents in the world. When Long Zhanguo punished the Murong Clan, he captured Murong Yan too. This prompted those talents to plead for her, including the Yuan Imperial Dynasty’s Imperial Emperor Xi Yu.
To prevent unrest, Long Zhanguo quickly executed everyone else in the Murong Clan.
Jiang Lianshan plotted for Murong Yan to leave the Qian Heavenly Dynasty and “flee” to the vicinity of the Heavenly Go Pavilion.
She met Old Mister Guan Qi because of a “coincidence.”
Initially, her mission was to attract Old Mister Guan Qi’s attention. However, he was overly obsessed with Go. Nothing she did worked; no matter what she tried, she could not pique Old Mister Guan Qi’s interest.
Murong Yan had an innocent personality. Her acting could not fool Long Zhanguo or Old Mister Guan Qi. However, her kindness eventually attracted Old Mister Guan Qi.
As Murong Yan gave her all, she also discovered Old Mister Guan Qi’s kindness. All unawares, she eventually fell in love with Old Mister Guan Qi.
The two’s feelings for each other intensified. Eventually, they married.
When Jiang Lianshan found out, he was livid. He even caused a commotion at their wedding.
Not just Jiang Lianshan. Long Zhanguo and the Flame Monarch also came to snatch Murong Yan away.
However, Murong Yan’s heart already belonged to Old Mister Guan Qi.
Long Zhanguo felt great regrets, believing he should not have executed the Murong Clan to establish his prestige.
The Flame Monarch felt extreme regrets, wishing he had not let Murong Yan go back then.
Jiang Lianshan felt immense regrets, but Murong Yan would no longer return.
Murong Yan’s whole heart belonged to Old Mister Guan Qi. Old Mister Guan Qi loved and protected Murong Yan. Even if he had to be enemies with everyone, he would not let Murong Yan go.
Back then, they fought an intense battle. However, no one knew the outcome of the fight.
In the end, Old Mister Guan Qi took out an immortal firmament, shocking everyone. He used it as a betrothal gift and fulfilled one of Murong Yan’s wishes, giving it away.
——
Murong Yan showed a faint smile as she reminisced. Gu Hai listened quietly.
“Only Old Mister Guan Qi understood how to cherish the person before him. Long Zhanguo, Jiang Lianshan, and the Flame Monarch? Hah! They only know how to treasure what they lost. It was Old Mister Guan Qi who figured it out,” Gu Hai said after some silence. 6444
“Him? He is an idiot. He does not pay attention to anything but Go. How could he have figured it out?” Murong Yan said with an affectionate smile.
“An idiot?” Gu Hai parroted in shock.
“Indeed. He is a blockhead when it comes to feelings. I had given him so many hints, and he could not understand them. He was polite to me. How clumsy of him! However, after we affirmed our relationship, Husband suddenly changed. From being infatuated with Go, he became infatuated with me. He brought me around the world, wanting me to have many children with him. He had even thought of all their names!” A faint, excited smile appeared on Murong Yan’s face.
“He brought you around the world? Old Mister Guan Qi was very good to you,” Gu Hai said seriously.
“Indeed. He was good to me. He told me about everything. He normally either accompanied me or played Go with himself.” Murong Yan recalled the blissful past.
“Playing Go with himself? Playing Go alone is truly leisurely and carefree!” Gu Hai smiled.
Murong Yan shook her head. “No, not alone. He played with himself.”
“Oh?” Gu Hai felt slightly startled.
Isn’t playing Go with himself playing alone?
“When he played Go, there were two Husbands. One was him, and he said the other was him from the next day,” Murong Yan said.
“Him from the next day? Two Old Mister Guan Qis?” Gu Hai felt slightly startled.
“Indeed. The other Husband was blurry, looking like smoke. Husband said he used the time laws and could play Go with his future self. He understood himself best, and only he could help himself grow his Go skills the fastest,” Murong Yan explained.
“The time laws? Connecting to the future?” Gu Hai felt startled.
Now, Gu Hai finally knew why Old Mister Guan Qi’s Go skills were so incredible. Gu Hai had one hundred thousand Go puzzles and various Go game records. Furthermore, he had spent more than two hundred million years in the eighteenth layer of hell.
Old Mister Guan Qi played Go with his future self and strengthened himself?
“As Husband’s Go skills grew stronger, he eventually learned about the six paths of reincarnation. The souls of the dead were doomed to destruction. He told me about the Six Paths Immortal’s plot and bade me not to interfere. However…however, I could not resist!” Murong Yan burst into tears.
“After the Six Paths Immortal knew about you, the Six Paths Immortal killed you? Old Mister Guan Qi wanted revenge for you? He went crazy taking revenge for you?” Gu Hai’s expression turned grave.
“Yes!” Murong Yan nodded.
“Wait. I recall Long Zhanguo saying that you wanted to tell the world about the Six Paths Immortal’s scheme. However, Old Mister Guan Qi was by your side. Since he chose not to interfere, he must have been watching you. How did you tell the world without Old Mister Guan Qi noticing? You could not have hidden it from him, right?” Gu Hai asked in confusion.
“Jiang Lianshan helped me,” Murong Yan replied bitterly.
“Oh? Jiang Lianshan? He used you?” Gu Hai raised his eyebrows.
Therefore, Long Zhanguo and Old Mister Guan Qi opposed Heaven because of Murong Yan, but the mastermind was Jiang Lianshan? It was Jiang Lianshan who incited the battles against the Six Paths Immortal?
What a big move! Jiang Lianshan used both Long Zhanguo and Old Mister Guan Qi?
“That’s not right. I recall that Jiang Lianshan showed an expression of love when looking at you. How could he bear for you to die? How could he use your death to cause chaos in the world?” Gu Hai frowned slightly.
“Back then, the Black Emperor came to help me. He said that Jiang Lianshan sent him to help me. Unfortunately…you know the rest,” Murong Yan said with a bitter smile.
“The Black Emperor? Jiang Lianshan executed the Black Emperor because he rebelled. Could it be that he had gone behind Jiang Lianshan’s back to complete the plan when Jiang Lianshan hesitated?” Gu Hai’s face sank.
Given this, the Black Emperor’s death makes sense.
“Perhaps,” Murong Yan said bitterly.
“All this is truly complex. Jiang Lianshan schemed against Old Mister Guan Qi, but he later fell for Old Mister Guan Qi’s scheme,” Gu Hai marveled.
“Mister Gu, I came to ask you to help with something!” Murong Yan suddenly knelt.
“Don’t. Just tell me. I will do what I can. Don’t kneel to me!” Gu Hai immediately avoided her with a bitter smile.
“Husband said he had already steeled himself for death before returning eight hundred thousand years to the past. He set up an Immortal Eliminating Go Puzzle. This is a death puzzle. Since he has steeled himself for death, he will thoroughly fall if he fails. Initially, only he could solve this death puzzle. He will not solve it. However, he later said that your Go skills are astonishing. Perhaps you can solve it?” Murong Yan looked at Gu Hai.
“The Immortal Eliminating Go Puzzle?” Gu Hai frowned.
“Yes. That’s why I’m pleading with you. If…if Husband fails, I ask that you help him solve the death puzzle. I don’t want him to die. Even if I have to replace him, I beg you, please help me!” Murong Yan cried as she remained kneeling.
“Murong Yan, please stand up,” Gu Hai urged with a bitter smile as he tried to help Murong Yan up.
“Mister Gu, I beg you. That was not Husband in the scene three days ago. He is not a bad person. He never caused trouble or fought with others. He used to just play Go foolishly by himself. If he had not met me, he might still be hiding in his house playing Go every day. If I had not died, he would not have done such a crazy thing. He is a good person. I beg you to save him!” Murong Yan pleaded.
“I cannot guarantee anything, but I believe that Old Mister Guan Qi’s nature is not evil. However, I have not even seen that Immortal Eliminating Go Puzzle. How can I help him? I can only do my best,” Gu Hai said with a bitter smile.
“Thank you! Thank you, Mister Gu!” Murong Yan finally got up, wiping the tears that continued to fall.
“I cannot guarantee anything. However, I will act only if I can preserve myself, and can only do my best,” Gu Hai said seriously.
“Thank you. That’s enough! That’s enough!” Murong Yan said in gratitude as she wiped her tears.
Far away, on Jiang Lianshan’s flying ship, when the Flame Monarch saw Murong Yan kneeling to Gu Hai, he clenched his fists tightly and prepared to head over.
“Flame Monarch, don’t go over!” Jiang Lianshan’s voice came from the hall behind.
“But, Your Holy Eminence…,” the Flame Monarch said anxiously.
“Hah…” A somewhat sorrowful sigh came from Jiang Lianshan in the hall.
——
Ten days passed in a flash, and Gu Hai’s wounds healed.
Gu Hai, Jiang Lianshan, the Supreme Ascendant, Heavenly Access, the Future Buddha, and the others stood on the deck of a flying ship, ready to face a powerful enemy.
“Lady Supreme Wa, I’ll leave Murong Yan to you!” Jiang Lianshan said to the Supreme Wa gratefully.
“Don’t worry. Murong Yan, come to the island with me,” the Supreme Wa said seriously.
“He’s coming!” Gu Hai’s expression turned solemn.
Boom! A violent wind blew over. Then, a Daoist-robed figure appeared above the sea, near the group.
“Six Paths Veritable Lord, the demons are there!” the distant Hetu cried out excitedly.
The Six Paths Veritable Lord’s expression turned cold as he looked at everyone.
“Jiang Lianshan? Gu Hai? Heavenly Access? Supreme Ascendant? Humph! You gathered together?” the Six Paths Veritable Lord said with a cold expression.
“You merged with the Azure Emperor? Which body are you?” Jiang Lianshan asked as his face sank.
“Azure Emperor? Hah! Jiang Lianshan, what a good scheme! Unfortunately, your scheme backfired!” the Six Paths Veritable Lord said with a hint of a sneer.
“Oh?”
“You used a wisp of the Azure Emperor’s soul as a primer to create a puppet Azure Emperor. However, this Azure Emperor has no feelings for you at all but knows everything about you? He won’t help you. I am the fire deity body! None of you will leave today! Humph!” the Six Paths Veritable Lord snorted coldly.
Boom!
Just as the Six Paths Veritable Lord was about to attack, another strong gust blew. A second Six Paths Veritable Lord appeared.
“Gu Qin?” Gu Hai’s face sank.
The second Six Paths Veritable Lord hovered in the air, looking coldly at everyone in the surroundings.
Just at this moment, the first Six Paths Veritable Lord strangely bowed to the second Six Paths Veritable Lord.
“Mortal Deity Body? You are making a move too?” the fire deity body said in shock.
The mortal deity body seemed to have a higher status. He only grunted an acknowledgment as he directed a baleful look at everyone.
