Book 07 Chapter 150: Gu Hai Makes a Move

Hall of Great Strength’s entrance, Spirit Mountain Holy Land, Divine Continent:

Gao Xianzhi, Ao Sheng, and two hundred thousand Divine Demon Army soldiers stood guard over five million Spirit Mountain Holy Land disciples. Gao Xianzhi took charge of interrogating the Past Buddha in the Hall of Great Strength.

“Past Buddha, what is the point of keeping secrets now? Surely, the Spirit Mountain Holy Land has more than these spirit stones, right? Where are the rest of the spirit stones?” Gao Xianzhi shouted coldly.

The Past Buddha had his cultivation sealed and was now a prisoner, a reasonably cooperative one.

Besides the Past Buddha, there were other Spirit Mountain Holy Land disciples holding spirit stones. They all took out the spirit stones.

The Han Nation’s group found fifty billion superior-grade spirits stones in the blink of an eye. The storage bracelets holding them filled up a flying ship.

One flying ship…two flying ships…

Besides spirit stones, there were all kinds of treasures. Gao Xianzhi extracted the locations of these treasures from the Past Buddha one after another.

Tightly guarded by two hundred thousand Divine Demon Army soldiers, the surrounding citizens stayed far away. With the Spirit Mountain Holy Land covered in fog, the citizens naturally could not see the countless spirit stones.

While the citizens could not see the Divine Demon Army soldiers within the fog, one person at a restaurant in a corner of Spirit Mountain City could.

Spirit Mountain City had turned chaotic long ago, but this restaurant remained calm and peaceful. Attendants guarded the restaurant’s vicinity, preventing rioting citizens from approaching.

The guards stood expressionlessly in several layers of security, appearing extremely stern.

A white-clad man sat by a window with an expansive view on the restaurant’s upper floor. He held a cup of fine wine and sipped it, occasionally glancing at the Spirit Mountain Holy Land.

A group of people stood extremely respectfully in the restaurant. If Long Shenying were here, he would have recognized one of them: his missing son, Long Aotian.

Long Aotian and the others stood respectfully, watching the white-clad man drink. Long Shenying would also have recognized this man. It was the zombie ancestor who once gave the Long brothers a drop of his blood eight hundred thousand years in the past, the leader of the shaman race, Jiangchen.

“Veritable Lord, we have been watching for a long time. The Spirit Mountain Holy Land is already thoroughly crippled,” Long Aotian said with a frown as he looked at the distant Spirit Mountain Holy Land.

Jiangchen smiled faintly. “Indeed. They are currently searching for spirit stones and treasure. The Han Nation has brought me a pleasant surprise.”

“Oh? A pleasant surprise? Was Veritable Lord using the Han Nation to destroy the Spirit Mountain Holy Land?” Long Aotian asked.

“Do I need to borrow the hands of another to destroy the Spirit Mountain Holy Land? Haha! Jiang Gautama is not worthy of that,” Jiangchen scoffed indifferently.

“Yes!” Long Aotian nodded.

“There used to be two people in the world whom I thought extremely highly of. How unfortunate! How unfortunate! If not for them being trapped by passion, holding them back, I might have helped bring them back to life,” Jiangchen sighed softly.

“Might I ask Veritable Lord, which two people could catch your attention?” Long Aotian asked out of curiosity.

“One is Long Zhanguo. He possessed exceptional talent and an extraordinary cultivation. He was determined and understood the hearts of men and the world—a genius. When he recognized insufficiencies in his cultivation, he even had the determination to destroy his cultivation and recultivate from the start. Such determination to win is rare in the world,” Jiangchen said.

“My eminent grandfather!” Long Aotian nodded while sighing in awe.

“The other is Old Mister Guan Qi. Although I did not interfere in the battle eight hundred thousand years ago, he was still very shocking. His martial prowess was inadequate, but he could gather and use strength from the world for himself. Such might was not much weaker than Long Zhanguo’s,” Jiangchen said gravely.

“Veritable Lord considered reviving them? Did you want to take them in as your subjects?” Long Aotian asked in shock.

“Subjects? Given their personalities, they would never be subordinate to another.” Jiangchen shook his head and sipped his wine.

“But if not for recruiting them, why revive them?” Long Aotian asked in shock.

“There are some things you don’t understand. My target is not in this world. The stronger the people in the world, the happier I am,” Jiangchen replied indifferently.

“Yes!” Long Aotian nodded.

Jiangchen looked at the fog around the Spirit Mountain Holy Land and showed a faint smile. “It looks like the interrogation is about done. Let’s go!”

Then Jiangchen tossed the cup away.

“Yes!” the surrounding subordinates answered.

Jiangchen did not fly but walked on foot. His subordinates followed closely. In this chaotic city, this group was conspicuous.

Jiangchen stood in front while everyone else trailed respectfully behind. He strolled to the steps at the foot of the Spirit Mountain Holy Land’s mountain.

Then he started climbing the stairs, walking to the Hall of Great Strength at the top.

“Halt! My Han Imperial Dynasty has taken over this place. Please leave quickly!” a Divine Demon Army soldier shouted.

Jiangchen glanced at that Divine Demon Army soldier and smiled faintly, then simply ignored that soldier and continued up the mountain.

------

In Jiang Gautama’s secret realm immortal firmament, the second layer of hell:

Mortal Gautama withdrew the fog, exposing a vast Buddhist Energy sea. A divine blood poison ant over thirty kilometers tall struggled in the Buddhist Energy sea. Three thousand Jiang Gautama replicas bowed to the divine blood poison ant.

“Roar!”

The divine blood poison ant reared its head and roared, making space shudder.

“So what? How much longer can you live? Gu Hai, do you see it? There is a platform made from a barrier on the divine blood poison ant’s head. The White Emperor is there. Do you see her?” Mortal Gautama sneered.

“The White Emperor?!” Gu Hai exclaimed as his expression changed.

There was a platform on the top of the divine blood poison ant. The platform looked like a swamp, with hundreds of people sunk into it, only their heads showing. From afar, it looked like hundreds of heads floated above the divine blood poison ant’s head.

These heads appeared shocked; some had even died from fright.

One head showed a listless gaze, his pupils dilated. Suddenly, that head sank into the swamp, no longer showing signs of life.

“Don’t! Don’t! Lord Buddha, I beg you. Please let me go! I was wrong. I won’t think of rebelling anymore!”

“Lord Buddha, spare me! My imperial dynasty will be loyal to the Lord Buddha in the future. We will serve no one else! Lord Buddha, I beg you, please spare me! Argh! My souls! My souls hurt!”

“Once the soul turns into poison, there is no recovering from this calamity! Lord Buddha, spare me!”

Pleas rang out endlessly. However, since Jiang Gautama brought them here, he naturally no longer had any intention of letting them off.

Gu Hai recognized one of the heads there: the White Emperor.

At this moment, the White Emperor’s hair was scattered and messy, and her complexion was pale. However, she still reacted with shock when she saw Gu Hai.

“Gu Hai? How can this be possible?!” the White Emperor exclaimed.

After speaking, the White Emperor trembled, then forced a smile. “Chen Xianer? You win. Gu Hai really came for you, even risking his life.”

The White Emperor looked at Gu Hai with jealousy in her eyes. At the same time, she felt bitter.

She envied Chen Xianer for having a lover willing to die for her. Yet she felt bitter because Chen Xianer was her earthly soul; Chen Xianer was herself, a self she did not want.

Previously, the White Emperor’s will suppressed Chen Xianer’s will, so everything was calm. However, Chen Xianer’s will had grown stronger recently, even showing signs of overthrowing the White Emperor’s will. This made the White Emperor feel worried yet helpless.

Just then, Chen Xianer’s will flared. Intense emotion suddenly suppressed the White Emperor’s will, and she shouted in a panic, “Husband, leave quickly! Just leave me! Go quickly!”

That shout made Gu Hai tremble.

“Hahaha! Husband? White Emperor, don’t you wish to kill Gu Hai? Why did you suddenly call him husband?” Jiang Gautama sneered.

Only Gu Hai understood that the earlier cry came from Chen Xianer’s earthly soul.

Xianer? Gu Hai clenched his fist.

“Gu Hai, the White Emperor is here. Are you coming over?” Jiang Gautama mocked.

Even Vairocana had to flee if he faced three thousand Jiang Gautama replicas. What more Gu Hai? During this time, Jiang Gautama felt great resentment towards Gu Hai. Now that he had a chance, he had to criticize Gu Hai.

“Alright. I’m going over! I’m going to meet the White Emperor!” Gu Hai said seriously.

“Oh?” Jiang Gautama and Mortal Gautama raised their eyebrows. Is this Gu Hai reckless?

“Vairocana, can I trouble you to wait here?” Gu Hai looked at Vairocana.

“You don’t want me to accompany you?” Vairocana said in shock.

Even I don’t dare to clash with these three thousand Jiang Gautama replicas, yet you want to face them alone?

“Yes. Please wait for a while. I have to do it myself this time,” Gu Hai said.

Gu Hai worried that Jiang Gautama would feel nervous and destroy the White Emperor if Vairocana came. If that happened, it would be a great loss. He had to prevent the White Emperor from suffering any harm before he grabbed her.

Vairocana nodded, apparently having guessed Gu Hai’s intentions. “Be careful.”

Gu Hai nodded back.

Gu Hai stepped forward and flew towards the Buddhist Energy sea.

Whoosh!

The three thousand Jiang Gautama replicas immediately showed serious expressions, ready to destroy this reckless Gu Hai at any moment.

Far away, Mortal Gautama, Heavenly Gautama, and Jiang Gautama appeared curious. To think Gu Hai is willing to give up his life for the White Emperor?

He didn’t even want Vairocana’s company, coming over alone?

When Gu Hai approaches, he will be as good as dead!

The three thousand replicas felt surprised. Gu Hai flew past the replicas and continued towards the Buddhist Energy sea, heading to the ferocious divine blood poison ant.

The divine blood poison ant radiated a soul-shaking aura. Gu Hai’s heart pounded when he approached it.

Whoosh!

Gu Hai moved swiftly and instantly arrived at the large platform. The White Emperor was right before him.

Hovering above the swamp-like platform, Gu Hai placed a hand on the White Emperor’s face.

“You…you should not have come,” the White Emperor cried with bloodshot eyes.

“I’ve finally found you!” Gu Hai said with reddened eyes.

Far away, Mortal Gautama sneered. “Since you are here, then don’t leave. Become nourishment for the divine blood poison ant’s poison gland.”

Mortal Gautama waved.

Boom!

One hundred Jiang Gautama replicas charged Gu Hai.

“Gautama Divine Palm!” The one hundred replicas attacked simultaneously.

One hundred?

The distant Vairocana’s expression changed. “Mister Gu, be careful!”

Even Vairocana had to take one hundred Gautama Divine Palms seriously. Against such immense force, Gu Hai’s cultivation would not be enough, no matter how incredible it was.

Jiang Gautama revealed a faint, cold smile but still appeared somewhat dissatisfied. Killing Gu Hai so straightforwardly is letting him off easy!

“Be careful!” The White Emperor appeared horrified.

However, Gu Hai kept his right hand on the White Emperor’s face. Without even turning his head back, he extended his left hand behind himself, flinging his sleeve out.

Whoosh!

A powerful gust blew.

The one hundred Jiang Gautama replicas suddenly vanished as though sucked into Gu Hai’s sleeve. The one hundred Gautama Divine Palms likewise vanished.

“What?” Everyone’s expression changed.

Since entering the eighteen layers of hell, Gu Hai had not fought with the Jiang Gautama replicas. Everyone thought he could not defeat the replicas, but what had just happened? He simply waved, and one hundred Jiang Gautama replicas vanished? How could this be possible?
