Everlasting Immortal Firmament - Book 07 Chapter 040
Book 07 Chapter 040: Gu Qin Returns
Shangguan Hen transformed into Gu Hai’s likeness and entered Han Destruction City with Kong Xuan.
The instant the two entered, a piercing white light flashed, encasing them. It seemed to flow like water around the two.
“There is indeed a ritual array!” Kong Xuan’s face sank.
Shangguan Hen looked coldly into the distance.
Whoosh!
A group of Myriad Age Daoist Sect disciples in the distance suddenly soared into the sky. Sect Master Heavenly Access led the group.
“Hah! Haha! Sima Changkong was right. I did not have to wait for two days. You already came for a sneak attack tonight? Gu Hai, you are truly bold. To think you barged straight in! This sect master laid a Divine Light Ritual Array to stop you from sneaking in with your immortal firmament, yet you did not use it?” Sect Master Heavenly Access said coldly.
“Divine Light Ritual Array?” Shangguan Hen’s face sank.
——
Behind a house in Han Destruction City:
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Water-like light gushed out, forming human-shaped ripples.
Buzz!
Gu Hai stepped out of the immortal firmament with Gu Qin. Then the immortal firmament withdrew; the surrounding rippling light vanished.
“How excellent of Heavenly Access! It is one thing to freeze space for the immortal firmament within the Divine Light Ritual Array, but once we try to move, space would overlapping and become unstable, making us easy to notice?” Gu Hai narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Fortunately, Father covered all the bases, getting Shangguan Hen to attract their attention,” Gu Qin marveled.
Gu Hai nodded. “Qin`er, Han Destruction City is dangerous. How about you enter the Gu’s Immortal Firmament? It will be safer there.”
“No, this child also wants to look for Mother. Father, please grant me that!” Gu Qin pleaded anxiously.
“Alright!” Gu Hai nodded. Then he looked into the distant sky.
——
Sect Master Heaven Access sneered at Shangguan Hen and Kong Xuan, taking Shangguan Hen for Gu Hai.
“Sect Master Heavenly Access, where is the White Emperor?” Shangguan Hen shouted.
“Even on your deathbed, you are still thinking of the White Emperor?” Sect Master Heavenly Access sneered.
“Since you are lying to me, there is nothing to discuss. Goodbye,” Shangguan Hen said seriously.
“Lie to you? This sect master disdains tricks, unlike Sima Changkong. Since I declared I would do it for real instead of just acting, I will do so. Do you see that pillar?” Sect Master Heavenly Access pointed to a distant pillar.
That pillar slowly turned around, revealing the bound White Emperor on the other side. 6444
The White Emperor had her cultivation sealed, and her hair was in disarray as she glared ferociously at Sect Master Heavenly Access.
“Sect Master Heavenly Access, you are doing it for real?” the White Emperor roared.
Sect Master Heavenly Access glanced coldly at the White Emperor. “Don’t you want Gu Hai dead? He is here now. Isn’t that what you wanted?”
“Even so, there’s no need to seal my cultivation!” the White Emperor snorted coldly.
Sect Master Heavenly Access ignored her. Instead, he extended a palm towards Shangguan Hen.
Boom!
An enormous manifested palm rushed over, carrying a destructive aura as it tried to rip Shangguan Hen apart.
Kong Xuan wanted to make a move.
“Kong Xuan, move back. I’ll deal with this!” Shangguan Hen shouted as he threw a punch at Sect Master Heavenly Access’s palm.
“Humph! You just reached the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm, and previously you used the Han Nation’s power. To think you want to clash with this sect master now? You are seeking death!” Sect Master Heavenly Access increased the force in his palm.
Boom!
The fist and the palm clashed, tearing space. A violent gust swept into the city’s surroundings. Sand and rock flew about, razing many buildings. Chaos broke out everywhere.
Shangguan Hen’s figure retreated thirty-odd meters. Sect Master Heavenly Access remained in place, showing a shocked expression. “Huh? You grew stronger again?”
“Hahaha! You are only so-so! Sect Master Heavenly Access, again!” Shangguan Hen shouted.
“Humph! You overestimate yourself!” Sect Master Heavenly Access charged over.
The Myriad Age Daoist Sect disciples took out their enchanted treasures and rushed in.
Coo! Kong Xuan suddenly turned into a ten-kilometer-tall peacock with an overwhelming demonic aura. The peacock flapped its wings, and rubble soared into the air, wrecking the city as the black aura churned.
“Immortal Killer Sword, chop!” Sect Master Heavenly Access took out the Immortal Killer Sword and swung it at Shangguan Hen.
Shangguan Hen’s expression changed as his figure moved back. However, the Immortal Killer Sword moved too fast. He could not escape, sustaining a blow from it.
Clang!
A metallic clangor rang out when the Immortal Killer Sword struck Shangguan Hen’s shoulder, knocking him back.
“Your physical body?” Sect Master Heavenly Access’s expression changed.
Gu Hai can block my Immortal Killer Sword with his physical body without using the Life Executioner Saber? That’s impossible!
“Kong Xuan, we can’t linger here! Let’s go!” Shangguan Hen shouted.
“Where are you going?!” Sect Master Heavenly Access immediately went after them.
Coo!
Kong Xuan flapped its wings, sending out a five-colored divine light that struck Sect Master Heavenly Access’s disciples. Then it flew after Shangguan Hen.
Flee? How could Sect Master Heavenly Access let the two flee? Right now, he had absolute strength! He would take advantage of it to humiliate the two.
“Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Array!” Sect Master Heavenly Access chased into the distance. As he waved, countless sword Qi filled the world, surrounding Shangguan Hen and Kong Xuan.
The vicinity of Han Destruction City turned chaotic.
——
Inside the city:
Gu Hai and Gu Qin showed sullen expressions as they saw everyone lured away.
“Sima Changkong was indeed prepared. To think he already transferred Han Destruction City’s soldiers!” Gu Qin said, grimacing.
Gu Hai did not waste time speaking. He stepped forward, and his figure shot towards the White Emperor with a flash.
When Gu Qin saw Gu Hai fly to the White Emperor, his face sank slightly. He looked at the distant Sect Master Heavenly Access and considered shouting to call Sect Master Heavenly Access back, telling Sect Master Heavenly Access that Gu Hai was here.
However, Gu Qin did not shout after some thought. Instead, he followed Gu Hai to the White Emperor. What if he scared away Gu Hai?
The soldiers in the city had already left. Sect Master Heavenly Access’s disciples were chasing Shangguan Hen and Kong Xuan. Hence, Gu Hai arrived at the White Emperor’s location in an instant.
The White Emperor gazed coldly into the distant horizon, watching the battle there. When a person suddenly appeared, she looked down, and her expression changed.
“It’s you, Gu Hai?” the White Emperor exclaimed.
If this is Gu Hai, who is Sect Master Heavenly Access fighting?
“Fortunately, I made it in time. It’s good that you are fine!”
Gu Hai smiled as he waved his hand. He immediately chopped off the White Emperor’s restraints.
Just as Gu Hai felt happy, the White Emperor, who should have had her cultivation sealed, suddenly threw a palm strike at him with a cold expression.
The palm strike was extremely powerful, unlike an attack from a person with their cultivation sealed.
Boom!
A loud sound rang out as Gu Hai’s palm met the White Emperor’s in a stalemate.
“You…your cultivation is not sealed?” Gu Hai glared.
“Gu Hai, you truly grow fast. To think your strength has caught up to mine!” the White Emperor exclaimed in shock.
Rumble…!
As the two maintained a stalemate with their palm strikes, shattered rocks flew everywhere. They clearly used their full strength.
Gu Hai flushed red, apparently reaching his limit.
“You can’t last. Gu Hai, you did not expect this, right? You can’t escape today!” the White Emperor roared ferociously.
“You!” Gu Hai’s face was now completely red. He seemed in pain. However, he did not withdraw, as the White Emperor’s full-powered strike could kill him if he did.
Smoke churned in the city. Debris flew everywhere. No one noticed the two, as everyone focused their attention on Shangguan Hen and Sect Master Heavenly Access.
Gu Hai suppressed the White Emperor, but it looked like he could not hold on for much longer.
Nearby, Gu Qin’s eyes lit up.
Gu Hai cannot move? Gu Hai cannot move?
This is an excellent opportunity, the opportunity I have been waiting for!
Gu Qin suddenly spread his arms and made a strange sound. “!@#¥%…&*!”
“Gu Qin?” The White Emperor’s face sank.
“Exchange!” Gu Qin shouted. Then a blue light shot out of his body towards Gu Hai’s back.
Just then, Gu Hai showed a cold smile. “Come out!”
Whoosh!
A tear seemed to appear behind him from the Gu’s Immortal Firmament. Then Long Sanqian appeared.
“What?” Gu Qin’s expression changed.
Boom!
The blue light from Gu Qin’s body did not touch Gu Hai but Long Sanqian.
Boom!
The two’s bodies trembled.
Just then, Gu Hai increased the strength of his attack.
Boom!
A loud sound rang out as Gu Hai’s immense force knocked the White Emperor into the air.
Blargh!
The shock caused the White Emperor to spew a mouthful of blood. She goggled in disbelief. “Impossible! You are this strong? You were tricking me earlier?”
“Come with me, White Emperor. Trying to get a dangerous person to act against their own interest will not end well. You were just lucky earlier. Sect Master Heavenly Access will not be like this next time. Had I not come, he might really have killed you,” Gu Hai coaxed.
“Humph! I don’t need you to care for me!” the White Emperor roared furiously and hatefully.
Whoosh!
The White Emperor turned her head and flew into the distance.
Gu Hai extended his hand, wanting to give chase, but stopped. He was just slightly stronger than the White Emperor. It would be bad if he started fighting with her, and Sect Master Heavenly Access realized the situation. Furthermore, he had Long Sanqian beside him.
Buzz!
Just then, Long Sanqian and Gu Qin’s soul exchange ended.
“What? Impossible! Gu Hai, you tricked me?!” Long Sanqian said as his expression changed greatly.
Gu Hai grabbed Long Sanqian. With his cultivation currently sealed, Long Sanqian could not resist at all.
“Father, this child got my body back. Many thanks, Father!” Gu Qin suddenly said excitedly.
“Should I address you as Teacher Yinyue or Crown Prince Long Sanqian?” Gu Hai asked coldly.
“Yun Mo? Yun Mo betrayed me? Hahahahaha!” Long Sanqian showed a ferocious expression.
“Qin`er, enter the Gu’s Immortal Firmament first and watch over Long Sanqian. Be careful not to get your souls exchanged again.” Gu Hai tossed Long Sanqian to Gu Qin.
“Yes!” Gu Qin caught Long Sanqian.
Whoosh!
Gu Hai immediately collected the two into the Gu’s Immortal Firmament.
Gu Hai did not tarry. He extended his hand and took out the Life Trapper Saber, then rushed out of the city.
Boom!
Gu Hai arrived at the edge of the battle in the blink of an eye.
He took out several enchanted treasures and controlled them with the Life Trapper Saber, planting them in the ground to lay a ritual array.
Buzz!
Gu Hai completed the ritual array in mere moments. Then he looked up at the battlefield.
Sect Master Heavenly Access had reduced Shangguan Hen to a sorry state in the battle. Although Shangguan Hen cultivated an indestructible body because of the Eight Nines Profound Technique, he still sustained many wounds from the Immortal Executioner Sword Ritual Array. Kong Xuan was also bleeding.
Sect Master Heavenly Access was currently attacking happily.
“Sect Master Heavenly Access, you are attacking the wrong person!” Gu Hai suddenly shouted.
Gu Hai’s voice startled Sect Master Heavenly Access. When he turned his head to look, he saw another Gu Hai at a distant mountaintop.
“Huh?” Sect Master Heavenly Access’s expression changed. Then he turned his head to look back at the Gu Hai he had been attacking.
This Gu Hai had transformed into Shangguan Hen.
“What?” Sect Master Heavenly Access’s face distorted into a ferocious scowl.
