Everlasting Immortal Firmament

Book 06 Chapter 135: Consummation of the Middle Heavenly Palace Realm

The door of time:

Jiang Lianshan asked to borrow energy from all his subordinates when he decided to remain and fight the heavenly deity body.

Aside from the Flame Monarch, who spat out his Flame Pearl, the White Emperor and the Scarlet Emperor also wanted to help. However, Ji Dihong and Jiang Gautama narrowed their eyes.

Ji Dihong raised his hand and stopped the White Emperor and the Scarlet Emperor. Jiang Gautama raised his hand to stop the Future Buddha and the Past Buddha.

“What are you doing? Huang Heavenly Emperor, why are you stopping us?” The Scarlet Emperor glared.

The Flame Monarch flew into the door of time.

“Why didn’t you lend your energy?!” The Flame Monarch scowled.

Ji Dihong looked at Jiang Lianshan, who was outside. Then, he shook his head. “There’s no need to lend your energy. Don’t fall with him!”

“What?” The Flame Monarch glared at Ji Dihong.

“Jiang Lianshan is as good as disabled now.” Ji Dihong shook his head.

“What do you mean disabled? If you don’t help, why don’t you let others help?” the Flame Monarch demanded with dissatisfaction.

“Jiang Lianshan no longer has the heart of a sovereign. Familial ties? Hah! Emotions and love are the graveyard of heroes!” Ji Dihong said coldly.

“Jiang Gautama, you are the Yan Nation’s crown prince. You-you should be helping him!” The Flame Monarch looked at Jiang Gautama anxiously.

“The Yan Nation? The Yan Nation is crumbling because of him. Since history has reverted to its previous course, don’t think about changing it anymore,” Jiang Gautama said coldly.

The Past Buddha and the Future Buddha held their palms together, not interjecting.

“Scarlet Emperor! White Emperor!” The Flame Monarch looked at the two.

The two frowned. Then, they looked at Ji Dihong.

“Ji Dihong, did you hold back when you lent your energy the first time? Jiang Gautama, you also held back when you lent your energy earlier? Did you hold back intentionally? Did you agree on that beforehand?” The White Emperor narrowed her eyes at Ji Dihong and Jiang Gautama.

“They did not lend all their energy?” the Scarlet Emperor said in shock.

“Couldn’t you tell? The two only showed a strength slightly stronger than yours earlier. Don’t you have brains to think with? Could they be just slightly stronger than you?” the White Emperor said coldly.

“However, why did they…?” the Scarlet Emperor said in shock.

“Haha! The two harbored duplicity in their hearts. Jiang Lianshan should not have trusted you from the start. Jiang Lianshan thought he grasped the world. However, he was being lied to for the most of it. You took the opportunity to gain independence and were just using Jiang Lianshan. When Jiang Lianshan was strong, you followed behind and cheered for him. When he suffered a setback, you cast rocks while he was down,” the White Emperor said coldly.

“White Emperor, you are as smart as ever,” Ji Dihong sneered.

“Amitābha! History has returned to its original state. With Jiang Lianshan’s death, the Yan Heavenly Dynasty will crumble. What are everyone’s plans?” Jiang Gautama looked at the others.

“Scarlet Emperor, White Emperor, Flame Monarch, we have worked together for many years. How about you come to my Huang Heavenly Dynasty? I’ll give you the same level of authority as you had in the Yan Nation,” Ji Dihong said seriously.

“Amitābha! My Spirit Mountain Holy Land’s doors are always open for you!” Jiang Gautama said seriously.

“Hah! Hahahaha! No wonder you didn’t want to help His Holy Eminence! No wonder you all didn’t help him! So, you all have ambitions to rule the world, wanting to become the immortal too? Under one man and above everyone else? That person should be His Holy Eminence. However, you want to be that one man? Ambition! Master previously said that you had great ambition and told His Holy Eminence to be wary of you. Indeed, you are all scoundrels!” The Flame Monarch glared.

“Humph!” Ji Dihong snorted coldly.

Blargh!

Just the cold snort alone shook the Flame Monarch, causing him to spew a mouthful of blood.

After some time, Shangguan Hen woke up.

Boom!

A loud sound rang out around him as he released a powerful aura.

“The Eight Nines Profound Technique’s seventieth layer? It is truly difficult to cultivate! Senior Wu, thank you for your gifts!” Shangguan Hen opened his eyes. His body shone with bright golden light.

However, there was seven-colored light outside the bright golden light, carrying Shangguan Hen through time and space.

“Where is the Nine Palace Diagram?” Shangguan Hen’s expression changed as he checked his surroundings.

The Nine Palace Diagram is gone? It used to be on my body. Now, there is no trace of it?

“The Nine Palace Diagram? Did Old Mister Guan Qi take it away?” Shangguan Hen showed an unsightly expression.

The Nine Palace Diagram was the black tortoise progenitor’s greatest treasure, able to divine the future, and it was gone? Even though Shangguan Hen had already reached the seventieth layer, he still felt dissatisfied.

------

Long Shenwu had been crushed, left on his last breath. However, Jiangchen’s bloodline allowed him to recover quickly. Furthermore, as the seven-colored light enveloped him, his body’s recovery accelerated.

At the same time, Corpse Energy appeared around him and intensified.

“I’m someone from eight hundred thousand years in the future. So, the flow of time has no impact on me. However, this Jiangchen’s essence blood is from eight hundred thousand years in the past. As it travels through this time passageway, it accumulates power, growing increasingly purer. My zombie blood is growing purer, and my Corpse Energy, denser. Perhaps…perhaps even the jiangchen primogenitor is not even this strong, right?” Long Shenwu opened his eyes wide.

At this moment, Long Shenwu felt an unprecedented strength. He felt so strong that he started thinking the jiangchen primogenitor beneath him.

------

Ao Shun and Ao Sheng were practically enveloped together in the seven-colored light.

“No wonder the Western Sea Dragon King was so arrogant. It turned out he had a portion of the ancestor dragon’s essence blood. Haha! Ao Shun, I now had the ancestor dragon’s essence blood in my body. My bloodline is no inferior to yours now! Humph!” Ao Sheng said coldly.

Ao Shun frowned at Ao Sheng, not saying anything. I gained the ancestor dragon’s essence blood too. How would I be inferior to Ao Shun? However, he is my brother, after all. Royal Father told me to take care of him before he died.

Ao Shun sighed and kept silent.

------

Seven-colored light enveloped Gu Hai.

Gu Hai waited patiently for one month, but the seven-colored light was still carrying him through time and space. How much longer do I have to wait?

Feeling bored, Gu Hai checked his body.

Gu Hai obtained an Absolute Zero Calabash on this trip to eight hundred thousand years in the past. Its restoration was almost done.

The black Heavenly Go Stone in his forehead space had turned back into the Heaven Suppressing Divine Imperial Seal and hovered above. Now, only four Go puzzles remained out of the one hundred thousand Go puzzles. Each of the four Go boards had a Go soul clone sitting on them.

Gu Hai had already comprehended the Thirty-Five Line-Pair World Go Puzzle. However, the four Go soul clones had not merged into one yet.

“Perhaps the Thirty-Six that Old Mister Guan Qi spoke of truly exists.” Gu Hai frowned slightly.

There was a target but breaking through was extremely difficult.

A Go stone appeared in Gu Hai’s hand with the flip of his hand.

There were countless heavenly souls stored in it.

Gu Hai did not care about those heavenly souls, only about the Go stone with Chen Xianer’s heavenly soul.

“Xianer?” Gu Hai called out.

“Husband!” Chen Xianer’s voice came from the Go stone.

As he looked at this Go stone, tears poured out of Gu Hai’s eyes; these were tears of happiness.

Chen Xianer’s heavenly soul?

“Xianer, your heavenly soul is weak. I will put you with your mortal soul first. Someday, I will get back your earthly soul. It is soon. Your earthly soul is with the White Emperor. Hahaha! Xianer, I can meet you again soon!” Gu Hai trembled.

The foundation of a person was the three spiritual souls—the heavenly soul, the earthly soul, and the mortal soul. After one died, the heavenly soul was the hardest to find. Now, Gu Hai already had Chen Xianer’s heavenly soul. The biggest problem had been solved. How could he not be happy?

Gu Hai carefully placed Chen Xianer’s heavenly soul into the box that contained her earthly soul. Then, he carefully put it away.

As for the other heavenly souls, Gu Hai could not spare the effort to check on them.

Gu Hai took out a white Go stone with a flip of his hand. It was the Heavenly Go Stone that Old Mister Guan Qi gave Gu Hai before committing suicide.

It was a complete Heavenly Go Stone—no, while it seemed complete, this Heavenly Go Stone had countless cracks in it.

“The Heavenly Go Stone? Hah! Since it returned, then let it become the Life Trapper Saber once more. I believe the Life Trapper Saber will be even more powerful now?” Gu Hai smiled.

When Gu Hai activated the Heavenly Go Stone, his expression changed. “Huh?”

Suddenly, a strange energy came from the Heavenly Go Stone.

“Essence?” Gu Hai said in shock.

Although Gu Hai did not know where this Essence came from, he immediately absorbed it.

What he currently lacked the most was Essence.

Rumble…!

Essence rushed to his middle heavenly palace, to his earthly soul. The earthly soul wielded the Earthly Soul Register and refined the Essence.

This Essence seemed to contain only one will. However, this will had been shattered, so the Essence was effortless to refine. His earthly soul soon absorbed it.

“What strong Essence! And there is so much?” Gu Hai exclaimed.

Rumble…!

The surging Essence poured into the earthly soul. Initially, Gu Hai had not held much hope despite his anticipation. After all, even the accumulation of the entire hell in the Hell Path Secret Realm could only push him from the eighth layer to the ninth layer. How much could there be in this Heavenly Go Stone?

However, Gu Hai grew increasingly shocked as he absorbed it.

This Essence seemed boundless. Another month passed as Gu Hai sat within the light. Now, he had fully absorbed all the Essence in the Heavenly Go Stone.

Boom!

A loud sound rang out as a shock wave surged from his body. Then, he opened his eyes.

“The Middle Heavenly Palace Realm’s tenth layer? Consummation of the Middle Heavenly Palace Realm?” Gu Hai said in wide-eyed shock.

Where did so much Essence come from?

Gu Hai closed his eyes and sent his consciousness into the Heavenly Go Stone.

He found a cloud of indistinct white smoke within the Heavenly Go Stone.

“Old Mister Guan Qi?” Gu Hai opened his eyes wide in shock.

“I’m not Old Mister Guan Qi. I am just a remnant consciousness in Old Mister Guan Qi’s energy. Now that you have absorbed this Essence, I will be scattering,” the smoke said indifferently.

“What is going on with this Essence?” Gu Hai asked.

“Before the white-robed Six Paths Veritable Lord exploded, the Heavenly Go Stone absorbed all his Essence. This was all of that Six Paths Veritable Lord’s Essence. Hah! Old Mister Guan Qi guessed right. It only allowed you to break through one layer,” the smoke sighed.

“Old Mister Guan Qi collected it for me?” Gu Hai said in astonishment.

“Old Mister Guan Qi said that the Six Paths Immortal would search for you sooner or later. He could not kill the Six Paths Immortal, so it will be up to you to kill him in the future. That’s why he did all he could to help you one final time. He also told me to remind you…,” the smoke said gravely.

“Remind me about what?”

“Don’t rush to break through to the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm. Otherwise, you will not be able to endure it,” the smoke said indifferently.

“Why?” Gu Hai frowned.

“Do you remember what happened when you broke into the Lower Heavenly Palace Realm and Middle Heavenly Palace Realm?”

Gu Hai frowned as he recalled.

While in Heaven City, he had absorbed the Supreme Genesis’s boundless power of faith, giving him a perfect mortal soul when establishing his lower heavenly palace. The Lower Heavenly Palace Realm cultivated the divine.

When he was in Earth’s immortal realm, he had gained Nuwa’s boundless beneficence because of the Supreme Wa, giving him a perfect earthly soul when he established the middle heavenly palace. The Middle Heavenly Palace Realm cultivated Essence.

“The Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivates energy. However, establishing the upper heavenly palace requires lifespan. Lifespan? It would be feasible for others. They could use a portion of their lifespan to fill their upper heavenly palace and give the heavenly soul form. However, that is for ordinary people. What about you?”

“Me?”

“When others open their upper heavenly palace, their heavenly soul is very small when it takes form, so they only need a small portion of their lifespan. They can endure it. What about you? Your three spiritual souls are extraordinary. When your upper heavenly palace is established, it will be perfect. How much lifespan will you need?”

“Huh?” Gu Hai’s face sank.

I will need a boundless lifespan. If I rashly establish my upper heavenly palace, my meager bit of lifespan will drain in an instant. If my lifespan were depleted, I would be dead.

“That’s all I have to say. You had best be wise,” the smoke sighed.

Whoosh!

The smoke scattered.

Gu Hai extended his hand and grabbed. The Heavenly Go Stone turned into the Life Trapper Saber.

However, Gu Hai entered deep thought at this moment. The Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivates energy, but I need a boundless lifespan to establish my upper heavenly palace. What should I do?

Now that I no longer need to worry about Essence, I have to start worrying about lifespan.

Why is my cultivation so difficult?

As Gu Hai pondered, a purple beam of light crashed into Gu Hai’s seven-colored light.

Boom!

Gu Hai’s expression changed as he bellowed, “Who is it?”

The seven-colored light covering Gu Hai was sending him to eight hundred thousand years in the future. If anything happened to it, he would be in trouble.

The seven-colored light around Gu Hai wavered. Then, it fluctuated and caused Gu Hai to move about rapidly at random.

“Ah!”
