Everlasting Immortal Firmament - Book 07 Chapter 001
Book 07 Chapter 001: Trapped in a Prison
Book 07: Borderless Divine Dao
In a large hall of the Myriad Age Daoist Sect:
The Taiji Diagram lay flat on the ground, looking like a large pool with Yinyang fishes chasing each other. This trapped Gu Hai, preventing him from moving or using his energy.
Sect Master Heavenly Access ambled over to stand before Gu Hai, coldly eyeing him.
“That purple light when we were returning was you attacking me?” Gu Hai showed a sullen expression.
Although Gu Hai was furious at being imprisoned, he immediately calmed down.
Sect Master Heavenly Access looked at Gu Hai quietly. Eventually, he sneered, “You played the Thirty-Five Line-Pair World Go Puzzle with Old Mister Guan Qi at the end? How exciting. However, this is no longer eight hundred thousand years in the past. Heaven has already taken the Go Dao laws away. Even the Heavenly Go Stone is just an ordinary enchanted treasure now.”
“Hah! If that is the case, then why does Sect Master Heavenly Access need to bind me? Unless…you are afraid of me?” Gu Hai retorted coldly.
Sect Master Heavenly Access narrowed his eyes slightly, not saying anything.
Gu Hai had destroyed three of the Seven Immortal Executioner Swords. Indeed, Heavenly Access feared his Go Dao. Although there was no way to bring out the Go Dao now, Heavenly Access remained cautious.
“Afraid of you? Hah! Gu Hai, there is no need to try agitating me. Your various performances eight hundred thousand years in the past have led me to treat you as an equal already, so no amount of caution would be too much against you,” Sect Master Heavenly Access sneered.
Gu Hai’s face sank.
Gu Hai did not worry about Sect Master Heavenly Access looking down on him. The more Heavenly Access did so, the more advantageous it was for him. To think that Sect Master Heavenly Access thought so highly of him now?
“Oh? I recall that when Xuan Du met me at my Borderless Heavenly Capital previously, he claimed that the Taiji Diagram was lost and that I had taken it? Why is it trapping me now? Hah! It looks like Xuan Du was not telling you the truth!” Gu Hai sneered.
“Gu Hai, you are making wild accusations! It was the sect master who found the Taiji Diagram!” Xuan Du glared.
“Oh?” Gu Hai looked at Sect Master Heavenly Access.
“Did you think I did not ask about anything when I followed First Senior Brother that year? First Senior Brother passed on the way to operate the Taiji Diagram. After I returned, I only needed to use a secret technique to find it. Guess where it was?” Sect Master Heavenly Access smiled coldly.
Xuan Du also smiled coldly.
Their cold smiles made Gu Hai’s face sink. It has something to do with me?
“It was with the new Supreme Ascendant, Lin Waner. Do you remember Lin Waner? Fairy Waner?” Sect Master Heavenly Access smiled coldly.
Gu Hai’s pupils suddenly constricted.
Fairy Waner? How could Gu Hai not remember? He owed her a lot when he was in the Nascent Soul Realm. Her nascent soul was even his fire deity queen.
“Sect Master, this disciple has already investigated. This Lin Waner has an extremely close relationship with Gu Hai. Previously, he even declared Lin Waner was his wife in the Yuan Imperial Dynasty,” Xuan Du sneered. 6444
Gu Hai narrowed his eyes at Xuan Du, in no rush to speak. At this moment, the other party hoped to anger him, wanting him to lose his rationality in his anger. All the more he had to remain calm at this moment.
“The Taiji Diagram was hidden with Lin Waner. Sect Master found the Taiji Diagram with his secret technique,” Xuan Du said.
“Oh? Lin Waner is the new Supreme Ascendant. There does not seem to be anything wrong with her having the Taiji Diagram, right?” Gu Hai said.
Sect Master Heavenly Access stared coldly at Gu Hai. The hall turned deadly silent.
Gu Hai only started speaking again after a while. “Sect Master Heavenly Access, why did you repay kindness with evil today, imprisoning me here?
“Hah! Repay kindness with evil? When did you show me any kindness?” Sect Master Heavenly Access asked coldly.
The two had clashed eight hundred thousand years ago. Gu Hai even destroyed three of Heavenly Access’s swords, but Heavenly Access could only endure and swallow his anger. He had long since hated Gu Hai; how could there be any gratitude?
“Have you forgotten who saved you when you nearly died in the eighteenth layer of hell?” Gu Hai asked coldly.
Back when Sect Master Heavenly Access fought the Six Paths Veritable Lord’s water deity body, he nearly died to the Six Paths Veritable Lord’s holy sword. The Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access saved Sect Master Heavenly Access in the nick of time.
“That was not you!” Sect Master Heavenly Access said with a cold expression.
“However, he said that if you want to repay the gratitude, you can repay it to me. Am I right? You haven’t forgotten it, right?” Gu Hai said coldly.
The Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access had said these words.
“Humph!” Sect Master Heavenly Access snorted coldly.
“You recall now? Requiting kindness with evil? Hah! Excellent! Excellent! How excellent of the Myriad Age Daoist Sect! How excellent of Sect Master Heavenly Access! If Sect Master Supreme Ascendant were still alive and saw such a junior brother, I wonder how disappointed he would be!” Gu Hai said coldly.
“Slap his mouth!” Sect Master Heavenly Access snorted coldly.
Slap! Slap!
Xuan Du immediately slapped Gu Hai’s face on the left and right.
Gu Hai glared at Xuan Du, showing an overwhelming murderous intent. As he stared into Xuan Du’s eyes, Xuan Du shivered, a chill sweeping his heart. Xuan Du could not bring himself to slap a third time.
“Sect Master Heavenly Access, hah! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! I will remember today’s humiliation!” A cold gleam flashed in Gu Hai’s eyes as he looked at Heavenly Access.
“Would my First Senior Brother have died if not for you? Back then, First Senior Brother died of physical and mental exhaustion to comprehend the Supreme Ascendant Longevity Piece. I did not know the situation back then and could not understand it. Now, I finally do. First Senior Brother died for you so that history would not deviate. He knew he would die, but he still insisted on comprehending it. Hah! Hahahaha! To think you have the cheek to mention First Senior Brother? It’s you! You caused First Senior Brother’s death!” Sect Master Heavenly Access said with a frosty expression.
Gu Hai stared at Heavenly Access with a sullen expression.
“Sect Master Heavenly Access? Alright. Alright. Alright, I owe Sect Master Heavenly Access a favor. I won’t pursue the earlier slaps,” Gu Hai said coldly.
The humiliation of having one’s face slapped was extraordinary. If not for Sect Master Supreme Ascendant’s kindness, Gu Hai would not let this rest until one of them died. He slapped me because of the Sect Master Supreme Ascendant? I do owe the Supreme Ascendant for the Supreme Ascendant Longevity Piece.
“Not pursue the slaps? Hahahahaha! Pursue the slaps? What qualifications do you have to pursue me? You are now my prisoner, and you are talking about pursuing me? You caused my First Senior Brother’s death. Killing you ten thousand times would not be enough!” Sect Master Heavenly Access said with cold eyes.
“Speak. Why did you capture me?” Gu Hai glared at Sect Master Heavenly Access.
Gu Hai no longer wanted to waste words on Sect Master Heavenly Access, going straight to the main point.
Heavenly Master Heavenly Access narrowed his eyes at Gu Hai. He held his hands behind his back and paced.
After carefully sizing up Gu Hai, Sect Master Heavenly Access eventually said coldly, “Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access? Hah! That is a corresponding version of me, right?”
“Huh?” Gu Hai’s face sank as he looked at Sect Master Heavenly Access.
“It was First Senior Brother who comprehended the Supreme Ascendant Longevity Piece. First Senior Brother was indeed a genius to comprehend this piece. This piece was meant for the Myriad Age Daoist Sect to use, yet an outsider like you obtained it? Hah! The connection between immortal firmaments, the Supreme Ascendant Longevity Piece? You are not worthy of having it. Tell this sect master everything, and I can leave you with an intact corpse!” Sect Master Heavenly Access said coldly.
Gu Hai’s pupils constricted; then, he revealed a cold smile. “So, you captured me because you are targeting my things, not because of Sect Master Supreme Ascendant’s sacrifice? Do you want to snatch them from me? Hah! Hahahahahahaha!”
“What are you laughing for?!” Sect Master Supreme Ascendant said coldly.
“I’m laughing because I thought too highly of you. I’m laughing because Sect Master Supreme Ascendant has such an excellent junior brother. I’m laughing because you are laboring under a delusion! I’m laughing because of my earlier decision. Hahahaha! Not pursue the slaps? No, I will repay the earlier two slaps a hundredfold—ten thousandfold. Humph!” Gu Hai glared.
“How audacious!” Xuan Du shouted angrily, looking like he would hit Gu Hai again.
“Huh?” Gu Hai glared, and Xuan Du felt a murderous intent.
Even without energy, Gu Hai’s ferocious glare sent shivers through Xuan Du, another chill sweeping his heart. His hand stopped midway; he did not dare to land the slap.
Xuan Du had gone eight hundred thousand years to the past too.
However, that was a scene for the peak experts. Xuan Du and many other weak people could not interfere at all. They did not dare to participate, only watching everything from afar.
Just how ferocious was the heavenly deity body? Just how ferocious was Old Mister Guan Qi? Just how ferocious was Jiang Lianshan? Just how ferocious was Gu Hai?
That battle was practically between just these four. Even now, Xuan Du remembered what Gu Hai was capable of then.
Just one glance deterred Xuan Du from doing anything.
Sect Master Heavenly Access did not feel angry. Instead, he smiled coldly. “You are not willing to say?”
“Hah! Haha!” Gu Hai broke out in cold laughter as though mocking Sect Master Heavenly Access.
Sect Master Heavenly Access did not get angry. Instead, he said indifferently, “It does not matter if you don’t want to say.”
“Huh?” Gu Hai’s face sank.
“You can tell me when you want. This sect master can wait. Oh! That’s right. I will be presiding over a wedding in three days. It is between people you know. Do you want to attend? Oh, wait. It’s not convenient for you to move around. How about this? I’ll hold it outside this hall. I just need to open the door, and you can watch the wedding.” Sect Master Heavenly Access smiled.
“You are presiding over a wedding? People I know?” Gu Hai’s face sank; he had a bad feeling.
“Of course. The groom is right before you. This is the Supreme Ascendant Dao’s First Senior Brother, Xuan Du. He can be considered a talent, right?” Heavenly Access smiled.
Xuan Du bowed respectfully.
“You know the bride too. The Supreme Ascendant Dao’s Supreme Ascendant, Lin Waner. Haha! I believe you know her too, right?” Sect Master Heavenly Access smiled.
“Heavenly Access, you dare?!” Gu Hai’s eyes widened as if they would spew fire.
“Hahahahahaha! That’s right. That is the look I want. Remember this look. You must maintain it when Xuan Du and Lin Waner get married,” Sect Master Heavenly Access guffawed.
“The Myriad Age Daoist Sect is supported by its three lines of inheritance. Lin Waner is the Supreme Ascendant’s inheritor, representing the Supreme Ascendant’s line of inheritance. Are you eliminating Sect Master Supreme Ascendant’s line of inheritance? You are his junior brother. To think that you are humiliating his line of inheritance like this? Can you even face Sect Master Supreme Ascendant?” Gu Hai snarled in rage.
“It is not your place to comment on the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s affairs. First Senior Brother died for you. To think you have the cheek to use First Senior Brother to pressure me! Humph! Lin Waner? She has enjoyed the benefits of the Supreme Ascendant’s line of inheritance. It is time to listen to my commands. As for you…hah! Since you want to watch Lin Waner and Xuan Du’s wedding, then just wait. Let’s see how long you can keep your mouth shut. Humph!” Sect Master Heavenly Access snorted coldly.
Sect Master Heavenly Access flung his sleeve out and left the hall, ignoring Gu Hai.
Xuan Du looked at Gu Hai and wanted to criticize him. However, Gu Hai’s cold and ferocious gaze made Xuan Du tremble slightly, forcing him to swallow his words.
“Humph!” Xuan Du snorted coldly as he followed Sect Master Heavenly Access out of the hall.
