Everlasting Immortal Firmament

Book 5: Chapter 205: Passageway

The battle between Long Zhanguo and the Supreme Singularity intensified. The explosions resounded throughout the world.

In the distant forest where Gu Hai was, the ground shook nonstop.

“Zang Yulian, do you want to know the secret behind the Supreme Ascendant Longevity Piece?” Gu Hai suddenly looked at Zang Yulian.

“Huh?” Zang Yulian appeared slightly shocked.

“I’ll tell you, then,” Gu Hai said with a grave expression.

Zang Yulian appeared shocked as she asked, “You…why are you suddenly willing to tell me?”

“Long Zhanguo is the highest-ranked on the Rebel Sin Ranking. I am ranked second. If Long Zhanguo wins, it will be fine. If Long Zhanguo loses, perhaps I will no longer have the chance to tell you,” Gu Hai replied with a forced smile.

“You…” Zang Yulian looked at Gu Hai in shock.

“You are my woman, after all, so I’ll tell you. It would prevent a regret after my death,” Gu Hai said seriously.

“I’m not!” Zang Yulian glared.

Gu Hai glared back. “I said that you are, so you are. Hurry!”

Zang Yulian’s gaze weakened at Gu Hai’s shout. She felt somewhat wronged but did not dare to object.

“Take out your guqin and play the Supreme Ascendant Longevity Piece,” Gu Hai said.

“Now?” Zang Yulian felt slightly startled.

The surrounding ground is shaking endlessly with constant, loud rumbling. Won’t it interrupt the playing of the Supreme Ascendant Longevity Piece?

“It was fine back at the Ten Thousand Sages Convention despite so many people there. Hurry! This is the time when Heaven won’t notice it!” Gu Hai said.

“Alright!” Zang Yulian took out a guqin.

Then, Gu Hai took out his imperial seal, the Heaven Suppressing Divine Imperial Seal, with a flip of his hand.

When Zang Yulian saw Gu Hai take out the Heaven Suppressing Divine Imperial Seal, she felt slightly confused. However, Gu Hai did not explain; she could only set down the guqin and start playing.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Zither music rang out. The noise from the battle was very loud, drowning out the zither. However, only Gu Hai needed to hear it.

Gu Hai gently stroked the black Go stone at the top of the Heaven Suppressing Divine Imperial Seal. This was the black Go stone that had brought him to the Divine Continent from Earth. He had fused it into the Heaven Suppressing Divine Imperial Seal.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The Supreme Ascendant Longevity Piece rang out continuously. Gu Hai looked at the black Go stone as his thoughts wandered. After some silence, he frowned and said, “The first-generation Supreme Ascendant? Perhaps he had discovered something back then. He was a very capable person. He physically and mentally exhausted himself when creating this piece. Although the Myriad Age Daoist Sect assisted the Six Paths Immortal in rebelling against Heaven, I guess that the first-generation Supreme Ascendant regretted it. That’s why he created this piece.”

“Oh?” Zang Yulian stared at Gu Hai, not wanting to miss anything he said.

Buzz!

Gu Hai sent some Soul Energy into the black Go stone. The black Go stone vibrated slightly. The frequency of the vibration was actually the same as the rhythm and tempo of the Supreme Ascendant Longevity Piece.

Neither Gu Hai nor Zang Yulian noticed this slight vibration.

“When speaking of the Supreme Ascendant Longevity Piece, it can be summed up with this line: ‘“Sleep Immortal, Dream of Longevity.” The Supreme Ascendant Dao connects to the immortal firmament. The words of others do not affect me. However, my words influence everyone,’” Gu Hai said seriously.

“What?” Zang Yulian felt slightly startled, not understanding.

However, Gu Hai stopped in midsentence as he goggled at the black Go stone before him.

Earlier, the black Go stone’s vibration frequency matched the Supreme Ascendant Longevity Piece’s rhythm and tempo. When Gu Hai read out the incantation he heard in his dream, the space around the black Go stone suddenly trembled as if crumbling. Then, it formed a spatial tunnel. This passageway started off the size of a finger, but it slowly grew larger.

A passageway? A passageway?

This is not a dream?

Whoosh!

Gu Hai immediately pressed down on the Heaven Suppressing Divine Imperial Seal and put it away.

Whoosh!

The finger-sized passageway suddenly shrank and vanished.

“What’s wrong? Continue speaking! Why did you stop midway?!” Zang Yulian glared.

Gu Hai stopped midway. Did he change his mind?

Huge waves kicked up in Gu Hai’s mind. That passageway? He knew where it led. To Earth? This time, it was not a dream but reality. Does that mean my physical body can return as well?

Whoosh!

Gu Hai raised his head as a thought struck him.

It’s that black Go stone? That’s right. It must be the black Go stone. That black Go stone brought me here from Earth. It traveled between two immortal firmaments. I thought that I could not return. However, the Supreme Ascendant Longevity Piece is a method to open a passageway. The black Go stone can bring me back?

With the black Go stone and the Supreme Ascendant Longevity Piece, I can return to Earth? Gu Hai narrowed his eyes.

Then, Gu Hai raised his head to look at the distant Rebel Sin Ranking. Even if Long Zhanguo loses, I have an escape path? I still can return to Earth?

“Hahahahaha!” Gu Hai laughed excitedly.

Given this, I have not been pushed into a corner yet.

“Gu Hai, did you change your mind?” Zang Yulian looked at Gu Hai anxiously.

However, Gu Hai suddenly turned to her. In his excitement, he hugged her and planted a kiss on her face. Smooch!

“What are you doing?!” Zang Yulian demanded furiously while glaring.

“Hahahahaha! Zang Yulian, just wait. I will tell you everything. When this chaotic battle ends, I will bring you somewhere, regardless of whether Long Zhanguo wins or losses. It is a place that you wish to go to, even in your dreams. Hahahahaha!” Gu Hai guffawed.

A place that I want to go to, even in my dreams?

Recently, Zang Yulian only had one kind of dream. It was of the time when she intertwined with Gu Hai when they entered the Human Path Secret Realm. Since she relaxed her mind and accepted it, she frequently dreamed of that moment.

Gu Hai will bring me to a place I want to go to, even in my dreams?

Ptooey! Zang Yulian immediately spat at Gu Hai, blushing red.

However, Gu Hai was no longer looking at Zang Yulian but staring at the distant battle.

The Six Paths Immortal gathered the energy of all life and poured it into the Supreme Singularity’s body. Long Zhanguo also did the same with his immortal firmament. However, the Supreme Singularity still suppressed Long Zhanguo.

Although the Supreme Singularity was restricted by his physical body, unable to use the full power of the energy, he was still stronger than Long Zhanguo.

“Your Holy Eminence, we will help you with our full power!” Nearly everyone in the thirty-three layers of heaven drove their energy and poured it into Long Zhanguo’s three paths of reincarnation.

Ao Tianhuang, Long Shenying, Long Shenwen, Lifespan Beiming, Sima Zongheng, and all the other officials used their full power.

However, the Supreme Singularity continued to suppress Long Zhanguo.

“The energy of all life from the Divine Continent is different from the one from your incomplete immortal firmament. Long Zhanguo, you have lost!” the Six Paths Immortal sneered.

“We will not lose!” Long Zhanguo’s body turned a deep purple.

Long Zhanguo burned his potential, growing increasingly stronger. Although the Supreme Singularity suppressed him, his strength continued increasing as he resisted.

“Six Paths Immortal, Long Zhanguo is growing stronger!” The Supreme Singularity’s expression changed.

Although Long Zhanguo still could not compare to the Supreme Singularity, the increasing strength made the Supreme Singularity uneasy.

Boom!

The veins on Long Zhanguo’s arm burst, large amounts of blood spewing out. However, he grew even stronger.

“You are burning your lifespan? You are fighting with everything you have?” the Six Paths Immortal said in shock.

At this moment, Long Zhanguo burned his lifespan. His entire body bled. He grew increasingly stronger—paying an astronomical price for it.

“Fighting with everything I have? Indeed, with everything I have. Even if I die fighting today, we will not regret it. Six Paths, do you know why Old Mister Guan Qi fought so hard back then? Hahahaha!” Long Zhanguo said with a ferocious expression. Blood completely covered his face.

“You are also doing it for that bitch?” The pupils of the Six Paths Immortal’s ten thousand eyes suddenly constricted.

“That bitch? Hah! Indeed, that bitch! She only discovered your sinister plot and wanted to tell the entire world about it. You ruled the world and drained the paths of reincarnation, plundering the spiritual souls and their minds for your body, stifling the development of all life. You continued fishing without care for the dwindling supply. After one died, one would be completely destroyed, never to be reincarnated. All life just served as your slaves, as your food. She only wanted to tell the world about it, and you sent her a great calamity that destroyed her mind and souls? Before she died, she even had to suffer the cruelest torture in the world. Hahahaha! We are doing it for that bitch! We are also doing it for ourself! We are doing it for all life! We are doing this for everything! Six Paths, even if we die today, we will pull you down with us! Hah!” Long Zhanguo’s strength continued rising as his body spewed out blood.

The thirty-three cities revolved behind Long Zhanguo. All the officials and citizens gathered their energy, supporting Long Zhanguo.

At this moment, Long Zhanguo was defying Heaven. He was going to break everything, destroy everything.

Now, Long Zhanguo practically stood at the peak of the world.

Search Hosted Novel for the original.

He blocked everything. Due to burning his lifespan, his hair turned white.

As his hair turned white, his strength slowly equaled the Supreme Singularity’s.

On the other side, the Supreme Singularity’s expression changed dramatically.

“Long Live the Qian Nation!” the officials and citizens behind Long Zhanguo shouted.

Blood completely covered Long Zhanguo. However, he gave off an indescribable glow. The pupils of all of the Six Paths Immortal’s eyes constricted.

At this moment, the Qian Nation officials and citizens felt excited. It looked like they were going to win. Long Zhanguo would kill the Supreme Singularity soon and destroy Six Paths’s body.

Just as the deadlock was about to break and Long Zhanguo would succeed, two loud sounds rang out behind Long Zhanguo.

Boom!

Boom!

At the last moment, Sima Zongheng and Long Shenwen suddenly extended their palms to Long Zhanguo’s back.

The Qian Nation’s imperial tutor, Sima Zongheng.

The Qian Nation’s second crown prince, Long Shenwen.

They were not lending their energy to Long Zhanguo but attacking him.

Long Zhanguo fought the Supreme Singularity with his full power and nothing left to protect his back. The two landed attacks on such a large breach.

Logically, the two should not have been able to penetrate the energy flame around Long Zhanguo. However, their strength soared boundlessly at this moment.

The force was so great that it instantly penetrated the energy flame and struck Long Zhanguo’s back.

Two loud reports rang out, and Long Zhanguo stumbled forward.

“Unfilial son! Evil being!” Long Zhanguo roared furiously.

“Primal Chaos Bell! Universe Cauldron! Cross Annihilation!” the Supreme Singularity roared.

As Long Zhanguo stumbled forward, the Primal Chaos Bell moved down, and the Universe Cauldron moved up, meeting each other.

Boom!

The Universe Cauldron and the Primal Chaos Bell seemed to form a large pill furnace, trapping Long Zhanguo in the middle.

The Cross Annihilation immediately stuck to the junction of the two, like a cross-shaped scar binding them together.

“Heaven Splitting Ax, break for us!” Long Zhanguo’s roar came from the furnace.

Boom!

When the Heaven Splitting Ax swung, the large furnace trembled like it would break.

Caw!

The Supreme Singularity immediately turned into a three-legged golden crow, stepped on top of the furnace, where the Primal Chaos Bell was, and quickly activated it.

“Long Zhanguo, just wait as this Primal Chaos Universe Furnace refines you! Hahahahahaha!” the Supreme Singularity guffawed.

Now, everyone reacted, looking in shock at the two people who betrayed Long Zhanguo.

Long Shenwen and Sima Zongheng.

Six different colored lights now clad the two—the Immortal Energy from Heaven.

“How dare you?!” Ao Tianhuang’s expression changed.

“You betrayed His Holy Eminence! You bastards!” Lifespan Beiming exclaimed.

When everyone turned their head to look, they saw a crimson circle on Sima Zongheng’s and Long Shenwen’s foreheads. The two had used the Mandate Rebellion Curse and betrayed Long Zhanguo, pledging their loyalty to the Six Paths Immortal and accepting Immortal Energy.
