Book 08 Chapter 070: Advancing to a Heavenly Dynasty

After Gu Hai collected the one hundred towering trees in Blood Maple Forest and Ji Dihong’s immortal firmament into the Gu’s Immortal Firmament, the Gu’s Immortal Firmament quickly disintegrated them.

The Gu’s Immortal Firmament crushed the spatial fragments, turning them into nourishment for itself. The one hundred blood maples were one hundred Dao law patterns, proof of Ji Dihong’s accumulations over the past few thousand years.

The Go Dao laws were the ones that Gu Hai had the firmest grasp of. He used the Go Dao laws as the foundation to crush all imprints connected to Ji Dihong quickly.

The Death and Life Register immediately recorded the Dao’s laws, perfecting the patterns before returning them to the Gu’s Immortal Firmament.

Gu Hai split off a strand of consciousness to control the Gu’s Immortal Firmament.

“Father, was that your Gu’s Immortal Firmament earlier? You collected Blood Maple Forest into it?” Mister Starless asked with some anticipation.

“Gu Ming, you have suffered these years. Let’s go home for a reunion now,” Gu Hai said, smiling.

“Alright!” Gu Ming nodded.

Then he glanced at the eight black-robed men in the forest. These eight were the eight subordinates who helped him swap divine physical souls with Ji Dihong earlier.

However, Gu Ming did not call them out. It seemed like he did not want to expose them to others.

Gu Hai glanced at Gu Ming. Seeing that Gu Ming did not summon the others, he did not pursue the matter. He flung out his sleeve and soared into the sky with Gu Ming.

Gu Hai moved extremely quickly. Soon, he arrived at the plaza of Borderless Heavenly Capital’s Soaring Palace Hall.

“Your Reverence!” The officials rushed over excitedly.

Although most of the officials had not seen the situation in Xuanyuan City, they had heard about it through the zither puppets.

“Husband!” Chen Xianer and Long Wanqing came over, feeling at ease.

“This child, Gu Ming, salutes Mother!” Gu Ming suddenly knelt to Chen Xianer.

“Little Ming, quickly get up. The floor is cold!” Chen Xianer said with a smile.

The floor is cold? To everyone here, a cold floor would have no effect, no matter how cold the floor got. However, when Gu Ming heard these familiar words, his heart felt warm.

The blessings arrived with a rumble in the sky.

Gu Hai waved his hand.

Gu Hai sent the Huang Heavenly Dynasty’s roiling blessings to Yinyang Valley, then through the passageway between the two realms into the nether realm.

The blessings in the land of the living had already maxed out, but the blessings in the nether realm were still lacking.

Although the Han Imperial Dynasty was quickly expanding its territory in the nether realm and had countless ghost citizens, the formation of blessings required the citizens’ support. Gaining the acknowledgment of the ghost citizens would take a long time.

However, Gu Hai no longer needed to wait that long. Just how vast were the blessings of a heavenly dynasty? The Huang Nation’s roiling blessings would immediately increase the blessings of the nether realm’s Everlasting Nether Capital by severalfold.

Gu Han, Gu Qin, the Unborn Man, Cangjie, and the others made their way to Soaring Palace Hall’s plaza.

The Unborn Man and Cangjie were staring at Gu Ming at this moment. Although they wore hoods and no one could see their faces, the two’s shock was obvious.

Mister Starless is Gu Ming? Furthermore, he is a lifespan cultivator?

When Gu Ming saw the two, his eyes suddenly lit up. However, he showed a faint smile after that.

“Salutations, First Brother, Second Brother!” Gu Ming bowed to Gu Qin and Gu Han.

“Little Ming, it’s great that you are back!” Gu Qin patted Gu Ming’s shoulders.

“Little Ming, even I did not expect you to be hiding in the Huang Heavenly Dynasty all this while!” Gu Han smiled.

Gu Hai suddenly turned to Gu Ming. “By the way, where are Little Tang’s souls?”

“They are here, Father!” Gu Ming immediately took out a blue ball of light.

Gu Hai received the blue ball of light, then took a step forward. His figure flashed, vanishing.

“Father is…?” Gu Ming asked in confusion.

“Your father should be reconstructing Little Tang’s body.” Chen Xianer smiled.

------

Gu Hai had stepped into the Gu’s Immortal Firmament and was indeed reconstructing a physical body for Gu Tang.

Perhaps the souls had been dormant for too long. After Gu Hai activated the blue ball of light, the souls in it were exceptionally weak.

“Mending Heaven Energy! Go Dao laws! Reconstruct a new life!” Gu Hai waved.

Rumble…!

Surging Mending Heaven Energy rushed into Gu Tang’s soul body. At the same time, the Go Dao laws drove the laws of the Gu’s Immortal Firmament to help reconstruct Gu Tang’s physical body quickly.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Gu Hai used the Go Dao laws to reconstruct the physical body and filled it with the Mending Heaven Energy so that the souls could occupy it.

Gu Tang’s body slowly materialized. Soon, a weak body formed.

Gu Tang returned to being an ordinary person, all his cultivation gone. However, he slowly returned to life.

Gu Hai found a set of clothing and put it on Gu Tang. When Gu Tang slowly opened his eyes and saw Gu Hai, he felt enervated but pleasantly surprised.

“Father, is this child…is this child dreaming?” Gu Tang murmured.

“You are not dreaming. Little Tang, it’s safe now. We have destroyed our enemy, and you finally awakened,” Gu Hai reassured tenderly.

“It’s all over?” Gu Tang’s eyes turned red.

“Let’s go. Father will bring you out to see. Our home has become increasingly more bustling now,” Gu Hai said softly.

Gu Tang moved slowly, as if recovering from a grave illness. He followed Gu Hai out of the Gu’s Immortal Firmament.

When Gu Tang emerged from the Gu’s Immortal Firmament, everyone looked over.

“Little Tang!” The delighted Gu Qin and Gu Han immediately came over to hug Gu Tang.

“Little Tang is fragile now. Be careful!” Gu Hai called out.

Gu Qin and Gu Han immediately stopped, not daring to hug Gu Tang. As they were now, they had poor control over their strength. It would be bad if they harmed Gu Tang.

When Gu Tang saw Gu Qin and Gu Han, he showed a blissful smile.

“Gu Tang salutes First Brother and Second Brother!” Gu Tang said happily.

“Good! Good! It’s good that you’ve returned to life. Come to my residence later. I have all sorts of natural treasures. We will nourish you back to health!” Gu Qin smiled.

“No. Come to my place. The Buddhist Dao has many methods to temper the body. I will restore you to your peak!” Gu Han also made a pitch.

Seeing his two elder brothers competing to invite him, Gu Tang smiled in bliss.

“Third Brother, it’s great that you woke up! This way, we four brothers are back together!” Gu Ming smiled.

Gu Tang looked at Gu Ming and smiled faintly. “Little Ming, it’s all thanks to you that I could come back to life now.”

No one realized that Gu Tang’s eyelids twitched involuntarily when Gu Tang saw Gu Ming.

“In this life, we four are brothers. Third Brother, why are you being so polite with me?” Gu Ming smiled.

Gu Tang nodded and suddenly looked at Chen Xianer.

Chen Xianer looked back at Gu Tang with kindness.

“Mother! This child offers Mother kowtows!” Gu Tang knelt to Chen Xianer with bloodshot eyes.

“Get up! Get up! The floor is cold. You are not to kneel again!” Chen Xianer immediately helped Gu Tang up.

“Alright!” Gu Tang said, his bloodshot eyes teary.

Although Gu Tang cried as he stood up, no one laughed at him. These were tears of happiness. Actually, Gu Tang had suffered the most all these years.

Gu Hai looked at his four adopted sons with a sense of relief.

At the side, Cangjie remained silent. Gu Hai did not bring up the bet with him.

In the void beyond outer space, Essence Genesis and Ji Dihong had yet to return. However, Ji Dihong’s end was certain. Practically all the Huang Heavenly Dynasty’s blessings had flowed over.

Gu Hai raised his head and looked at the blessings cloud sea. “Gu Qin, begin laying it out!”

“Yes!” Gu Qin answered.

Gu Hai’s figure flashed as he returned to the Gu’s Immortal Firmament. When he stepped back out into Soaring Palace Hall’s plaza, he wore black imperial robes with golden thread embroidery and a crown of black jade, looking formal.

The officials immediately showed solemn expressions. They stood in two columns, facing Gu Hai as officials saluting their sovereign.

When Gu Qin waved, an imposing altar appeared on Soaring Palace Hall’s plaza.

Gu Hai walked up to the altar.

The officials bowed, all appearing excited.

Chen Xianer, Long Wanqing, Bing Ji, Gu Qin, Gu Han, Gu Tang, and Gu Ming stood nearby quietly, looking at Gu Hai at the altar.

Gu Hai took out the Heaven Suppressing Divine Imperial Seal with a flip of his hand. At the same time, he took out an edict, which he placed on the altar. This was the Han Imperial Dynasty’s Investiture of the Gods.

“Heaven above and the earth below, the immortal firmament birthed all life; the three thousand Great Dao birthed all things. Today, the Han Imperial Dynasty’s Gu Hai, acting in accordance with the will of heaven, shall enlighten all people and soothe all living beings. With the Heaven Suppressing Divine Imperial Seal as our foundation and the Investiture of the Gods as our proof, we request the presence of heaven and earth as witnesses. May the three thousand Great Dao bestow their blessing for the Han Nation to formally advance to a heavenly dynasty, to gain the approval of the immortal firmament to become the Han Heavenly Dynasty!” Gu Hai shouted as he raised the Heaven Suppressing Divine Imperial Seal.

“Roar!”

Above the blessings cloud sea, the golden blessings dragon suddenly let out a prolonged roar. As it roared, Gu Hai’s voice reached every Han Imperial Dynasty citizen.

Countless working citizens goggled in shock. My Han Imperial Dynasty is advancing to a heavenly dynasty?

When establishing a royal dynasty, one had to bow to heaven and earth. When advancing to an imperial dynasty, one only bowed to heaven and not earth. When advancing to a heavenly dynasty, one stood equal to heaven, bowing to neither. The heaven and earth as friends, serving as witnesses for advancement?

The Han Imperial Dynasty’s blessings had already peaked long ago, only Gu Hai had been suppressing them. Finally, he no longer had to.

The golden blessings dragon suddenly swooped down. Roaring, it charged into Gu Hai’s Heaven Suppressing Divine Imperial Seal.

Gu Hai raised the Heaven Suppressing Divine Imperial Seal, and it shone with dazzling golden light. After that, Gu Hai pressed it on the Investiture of the Gods.

Boom!

When the Heaven Suppressing Divine Imperial Seal landed on the Investiture of the Gods, it seemed like some sort of contract was formed.

The world suddenly gave off a loud sound, and a strange fragrance spread throughout Borderless Heavenly Capital. Multicolored light appeared in the sky, and the images of countless divine beasts and immortal birds danced in the sky. Celestial music rang out, as though celebrating the prosperity of this world.

Nearby, Long Wanyu sat at the entrance of a palace hall. As she looked at the phenomena in the sky, she smiled.

Purple Subtlety, Longevity, Ensnaring Performance, Lady Houtu, Mao Tianyun, and Houqing were here.

“My master is advancing to a heavenly emperor. Long Wanyu, this grandeur was all your doing from back then, right?” Ensnaring Performance smiled.

“That is of course. Since it is Brother-in-Law advancing to a heavenly emperor, it naturally has to be different from others. At the very least, the world congratulating him should not be limited to Borderless Heavenly Capital. I want all the places in the land of the living and the nether realm to resound with celestial music, to appear this auspicious! Only such a scene befits Brother-in-Law!” Long Wanyu extended her hand and tapped as she spoke.

Buzz!

She seemed to have tapped on a certain node in space. A spatial ripple spread out in all directions from the palace hall.

“Don’t!” Lady Houtu and Mao Tianyun cried out, their expressions changing drastically.

However, it was already too late.

Buzz!

The three thousand Great Dao seemed to tremble simultaneously in the land of the living and the nether realm. Then, the strange fragrance in Borderless Heavenly Capital spread to every corner of the Divine Continent. All beings suddenly heard the celestial music and saw the seven-colored lights. Initially, these should have been enjoyed only by Borderless Heavenly Capital. However, a rainbow connected the two realms, covering everywhere in the Divine Continent.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Signs of advancing to a heavenly dynasty filled the world.

Long Wanyu was quite happy, but Lady Houtu and Mao Tianyun lost their composure. It’s over! This is going to alert the Six Paths Immortal! This will expose Long Wanyu! Oh no!
