Sha looked at the chameleon spirit and nodded.

Ao Shun waved his hand and undid the seal on the chameleon spirit.

“Salutations, Azure Lotus Young Master!” The chameleon spirit immediately flew over to Sha.

The chameleon spirit did not want to remain by Gu Hai’s side for even a moment longer. Who knew when Gu Hai would kill him? Although Sha needed to interrogate him, he was still a Myriad Age Daoist Sect disciple, after all.

“Kneel!” Sword Envoy Qing Feng shouted coldly.

The chameleon spirit knelt upon arrival.

Sha looked at the chameleon spirit and asked indifferently, “Are you going to return to the Myriad Age Daoist Sect yourself, or should Qing Feng escort you back?”

“Ah? I-I will return myself!” the chameleon spirit answered with pleasant surprise, slightly startled.

Sha extended his hand and tapped the chameleon spirit’s forehead. The chameleon spirit did not dare to resist.

Buzz!

An azure light shot into the chameleon spirit’s forehead. Then, the mark of a sword appeared between his eyebrows.

“This is a sword imprint. It will not explode within a year. After that, it will explode and rip you to shreds,” Sha said indifferently.

“Ah? Azure Lotus Young Master, please spare me!” the chameleon spirit exclaimed.

“Return yourself and meet Sect Master Heavenly Access. Sect Master Heavenly Access can undo it for you. Otherwise, you are on your own. You only have one year. If you take too long and Sect Master Heavenly Access leaves the Myriad Age Daoist Sect, you can’t blame anyone but yourself,” Sha said indifferently.

“Yes, yes! I’m going now! I’m going now!” The chameleon spirit sprang to his feet, his face pale with horror.

Whoosh!

The chameleon spirit did not dare to delay. He immediately shot into the distance, quickly disappearing.

Now, Sha looked at Zang Yulian. “Supreme Ascendant, your Supreme Ascendant’s line of inheritance is in a state of disarray. Do you want to return with me? I will ensure your safety!”

“There’s no need. I will return myself in the future,” Zang Yulian said coldly.

Sha nodded. “If that is the case, as you please.”

Then, Sha turned to Gu Hai. “Gu Hai, I went to your Borderless Heavenly Capital ten days ago.”

“Oh? Ten days ago?” Gu Hai raised his eyebrows as he looked at Sha in shock.

Ten days? He made it here in ten days?

“That’s right. Sect Master Heavenly Access sent me to investigate the matter of the Supreme Ascendant’s line of inheritance. I found out that the Supreme Ascendant Dao’s Grand Mohist wanted to seek you out. At that time, I did not know that you were in Divine Farmer City, so I went to Borderless Heavenly Capital.” Sha nodded.

“Oh? Seek me?” Gu Hai looked at Zang Yulian in shock.

No wonder the chameleon spirit followed me in secret. He was waiting for Zang Yulian. He also knew that Zang Yulian was searching for me?

However, why is Zang Yulian searching for me? To kill me?

Gu Hai glanced at Zang Yulian.

“A huge battle took place at Borderless Heavenly Capital ten days ago. I had the fortune to witness it. Those cloud beasts of yours—the four powerful sword cultivators—are very powerful. To think that they represent four different sword Dao?” Sha frowned at Gu Hai.

“Dongfang Bubai, Dugu Qiubai, Ximen Chuixue, and Zhang Sanfeng?” Gu Hai frowned back at Sha.

“Zhang Sanfeng and his Taiji Sword Technique, the Taiji Dao of Yinyang, bring a perfect mixture of Yin and Yang. It is forceful yet gentle at the same time, incredibly strange. Ximen Chuixue and his sword strike of snow focus on the conception and not the force. When the sword arrives, it destroys the opponent. If the heart is unrivaled, the sword is unrivaled. Dugu Qiubai has no sword in hand or in his heart. All things in the world—every blade of grass or stick—can be a sword. As for Dongfang Bubai, there is no sword Dao in the world that cannot be overcome except for speed. He can condense the sword Dao into a needle. It was a great eye-opener!” Sha said seriously.

“Those were just a few of my conjectures, unable to arrive at anything great.” Gu Hai shook his head.

Sha shook his head. “Unable to arrive at anything great? No. You are a sword Dao genius. Just casual conjectures lead you to four powerful sword Dao. Many sword cultivators cannot even arrive at one in their entire life.”

Gu Hai: “…”

Gu Hai had grown up reading wuxia novels and watching wuxia television dramas. He felt quite embarrassed at Sha’s praise.

“I wanted to protect those elders, but I let you kill them. You don’t have to thank me for that. I should be the one thanking you. After all, I have gained a lot from the sword Dao that you came up with. I have already learned the four sword Dao. I will come to have an exchange with you after I merge them,” Sha said seriously.

“Wait, what did you say? You have already learned them?” Gu Hai looked at Sha in shock.

“That’s right. I travel the world to seek out various sword Dao, to temper my own sword Dao. Unfortunately, there are few unique sword Dao in the world, despite there being countless sword cultivators. I managed to learn four from you. However, these four sword Dao are very different from each other. It might take me a month or two to merge them.” Sha nodded.

Gu Hai: “…”

A month or two? You must be joking, right?

“Alright. It was fortunate to meet with you today. Let’s meet again in the future. I still need to head to the Solar Divine Palace. It seems like Long Zhanguo has already pointed his sword at the Supreme Singularity, desiring to destroy the Solar Divine Palace,” Sha said after a deep breath.

Gu Hai nodded.

Although Sha was polite to Gu Hai, Gu Hai could sense a dangerous aura from him like a sheathed divine sword, ready to shock the world at any time.

“That’s right. You had best return early. Houqing went to Borderless Heavenly Capital ten days ago. Although Long Zhanguo resolved the situation, Borderless Heavenly Capital apparently suffered significant damage,” Sha said.

As Sha spoke, he started flying into the distance. Sword Envoy Qing Feng followed behind like an attendant.

“Houqing?” Gu Hai’s face sank.

Now, he could no longer be bothered with hiding.

He extended his hand and took out a zither puppet.

Buzz!

The zither puppet trembled slightly as though it had received a transmission.

“Your son, Gu Qin, awaits Imperial Father’s reply. Borderless Heavenly Capital suffered a calamity. Angels attacked, and Houqing came after…”

The zither puppet repeated what Gu Qin said, even replicating his tone.

As the zither puppet conveyed the message, the nearby Yanxuan and Yehua goggled.

“What is this?” Yanxuan said in shock.

Ao Shun also appeared curious. Clearly, he did not know about the zither puppet, either. To think that this can send information from Borderless Heavenly Capital? If one carried a zither puppet everywhere, wouldn’t one be able to obtain information from elsewhere at any moment?

Nearby, Zang Yulian appeared surprised. “That’s impossible! How can a voice from Borderless Heavenly Capital reach here?”

Ignoring everyone, Gu Hai listened to the zither puppet’s message.

“Wanyu?” Gu Hai’s expression changed.

When Gu Hai heard that Long Wanyu’s three spiritual souls had cracked, his mind buzzed. For some reason, her voice filled his mind.

Brother-in-Law, I’ll wait for you to return!

Brother-in-Law, you must save Elder Sister!

Brother-in-Law, look at the flower I’m wearing. Am I as pretty as Elder Sister?

Long Wanyu’s voice from the past rang out in Gu Hai’s mind. He clenched his fist tightly.

“Houqing, you are seeking death!” Gu Hai muttered as his eyes turned bloodshot.

However, the zither puppet continued, describing what happened after Long Zhanguo arrived. Long Wanqing and the Unborn Man had brought Long Wanyu to Lady Houtu for rescue. Gu Hai’s emotions only calmed somewhat after hearing that.

After all, since Long Zhanguo was confident of it, Lady Houtu would definitely save Long Wanyu. This assurance allowed Gu Hai to relax somewhat.

Although he relaxed, he still felt somewhat anxious.

Gu Hai took a long time to calm down after the zither puppet said everything.

“To Gu Qin, we got it. We will immediately return!” Gu Hai said.

The zither puppet said, “To Gu Qin, we got it. We will immediately return!”

The zither puppet sounded exactly like Gu Hai as it repeated everything.

Whoosh!

Gu Hai put away the zither puppet with the flip of a hand.

Then, he turned his head and looked at Zang Yulian.

“Supreme Ascendant, I will be returning soon. I heard Sha say that you went to Divine Farmer City to find me. How did you know that I was there?” Gu Hai asked.

Zang Yulian looked at Gu Hai with a complicated expression.

“If you do not mind, come aboard my flying ship. We can speak as we travel,” Gu Hai said.

Zang Yulian nodded. Then, she flew onto Gu Hai’s flying ship with a somewhat icy expression.

“Let’s go!” Gu Hai commanded.

“Yes!”

Ao Shun piloted the flying ship, making it quickly shoot off into the distance.

Zang Yulian borrowed one of the palace halls on the flying ship to tidy herself up before returning to the deck.

Gu Hai stood on the deck with his hands behind his back, looking north. He appeared somewhat anxious. He sensed Zang Yulian coming over and turned his head.

Zang Yulian wore an azure muslin dress, which complemented her slender figure. She looked perfect. Her skin was flawlessly white, and her neck looked elegant with two bundles of hair hanging down the sides. This made anyone desire to have a taste. The faint shadow of fatigue over her exquisite face gave her a mature charm.

Fortunately, Gu Hai had already experienced all sorts of things and did not get swayed by Zang Yulian’s beauty.

“You were seeking me out? Is it over my breaking your Dao heart? Although it was an accident then, I do not deny responsibility. If you want to pursue that, I will do my best to make it up to you,” Gu Hai said with a sigh.

Zang Yulian looked at Gu Hai with a cold gaze. Previously, she wished that she could kill Gu Hai. However, she found that her hatred for Gu Hai had lessened significantly for some reason. In fact, when Gu Hai saved her earlier, she even seemed to see a white glow around him. That white glow was like floodwater smashing all the hatred in her heart.

As Zang Yulian looked at Gu Hai, she bit her lips and took a deep breath before saying, “I did not seek you out for revenge.”

“Oh? It’s not to kill me? Then, why?” Gu Hai asked, feeling confused.

“I would like to know what’s going on with the Supreme Ascendant Longevity Piece,” Zang Yulian said seriously as she stared at Gu Hai.

“The Supreme Ascendant Longevity Piece?” Gu Hai narrowed his eyes.

Zang Yulian had played the Supreme Ascendant Longevity Piece during the Ten Thousand Sages Convention. She had done so to make Gu Hai sleep for ten days. However, he returned to Earth in a dream during those ten days. Although he was just a child in that dream, he had indeed returned. He had even met Earth’s Laozi and learned the Classic of the Dao and Virtue.

“Previously, the first-generation Supreme Ascendant ruled the Myriad Age Daoist Sect. Back then, the Supreme Ascendant was the true Supreme Ascendant. His strength surpassed everyone else’s in the Myriad Age Daoist Sect. He was the one who created this Supreme Ascendant Longevity Piece. Eventually, he died of mental and physical exhaustion. He has not reincarnated even today. There must be some great secret behind it. The Supreme Ascendant Longevity Piece has been passed down for several generations without anyone comprehending it. However, I believed you comprehended it during the Ten Thousand Sages Convention. You know the secret behind the Supreme Ascendant Longevity Piece. Tell me, what is going on with it?” Zang Yulian looked at Gu Hai anxiously.
