Book 6: Chapter 077: The Purple Jade Sect’s Calamity

“Where? Hahahaha! This fellow turned stupid from falling. Does anyone know him?” Everyone guffawed.

Whoosh!

Gu Hai had already returned to his senses. He took a step and flew into the sky.

Then, he surveyed his surroundings from high above.

He found himself in a place that he did not recognize. This was a vast land with mountains and rivers.

“What year is this?” Gu Hai looked at the people below, who were waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

“What year? You must have turned into an idiot. Look, before you even healed, you started flying again!” someone laughed.

Gu Hai ignored the crowd. “Do you know the Six Paths Veritable Lord or Long Zhanguo? Who have you heard of?”

Everyone felt startled.

“Long Zhanguo? Who is that? Are you stupid? You do not even remember the Six Paths Veritable Lord?”

“Brat, why are you asking about the Six Paths Veritable Lord? Did you receive help from him before?”

“The Greatly Compassionate Greatly Sorrowful Six Paths Veritable Lord, have you not even heard of him before?”

The crowd criticized Gu Hai.

Gu Hai’s heart sank.

It’s true? Old Mister Guan Qi sent me back eight hundred thousand years?

How incredible of the time laws! What a horrifying power!

He sent us here to kill the Six Paths Veritable Lord? To stop the Six Paths Veritable Lord from usurping Heaven? To curb the Six Paths Veritable Lord’s ambition at the source?

However, everyone in the surroundings seems fanatical about the Six Paths Veritable Lord as though brainwashed. Is this Six Paths Veritable Lord truly that charismatic?

“That’s not right. The Six Paths Veritable Lord has memories of us as well. This is especially so for the clones that were Ninth Young Master and Gu Qin. They can sense my location every ten days. Since we are here to ruin his plan of usurping Heaven, he will come and find us.” Gu Hai’s face sank.

“What is the largest sect here?!” Gu Hai shouted.

“Sect? Which sect is the largest?” everyone said in shock.

Boom!

Gu Hai suddenly unleashed a formidable aura. The might of an eighth-layer Middle Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator was not something most ordinary cultivators could match. The cultivators immediately turned ashen from the suppression.

Earlier, they had been mocking this person for not knowing how to fly. However, this person was this strong? Everyone trembled in despair under Gu Hai’s aura, feeling like he could crush them to a pulp with just a wave of his hand.

“Where is the largest sect here? Which one is it?” Gu Hai asked coldly.

“Twen-twenty-five thousand kilometers to the east. It-it’s the Purple Jade Sect. The Purple Jade Sect is the largest. There…,” a cultivator stammered with an ashen complexion.

Purple Jade Sect?

Gu Hai did not delay. He took a step, and his figure flashed, shooting into the distance.

Boom!

Gu Hai vanished from where he was.

The cultivators, whom Gu Hai’s aura had suppressed, slumped to the ground with horrified faces.

——

Plenty of golden blessings hovered above the Purple Jade Sect.

A man wearing purple Daoist robes stood at the Purple Jade Hall’s entrance, looking with satisfaction at the ritual array that had purple energy surrounding it in the sky.

“Congratulations, Sect Master. With this ritual array to defend us, my Purple Jade Sect can advance further!” a Daoist-robed disciple said with a smile.

“Indeed. My Purple Jade Sect has been growing as a lower-tier sect for some time already. Of the thirty-six lower-tier sects in this region, my Purple Jade Sect is the strongest. We have five Middle Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators in the sect. Our blessings have also accumulated to the point of manifesting a divine object. We only lacked a defensive ritual array. Now that Sect Master has obtained this ritual array, my Purple Jade Sect can finally advance to a middle-tier sect!” another Daoist-robed disciple said with a smile.

The Purple Jade Sect Master nodded. Satisfaction flashed in his eyes. “We still have to thank the Six Paths Veritable Lord for this. During the last Grave Spreading Convention, the Six Paths Veritable Lord brought us along to rescue countless people in need and kill demons. In truth, I did not contribute much. However, the Six Paths Veritable Lord still gave each sect master a ritual array.”

“The Six Paths Veritable Lord is truly compassionate. Even an Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator cannot break this Purple Smoke Sift Ritual Array, right?” a disciple said with a smile.

“That is for sure. The Purple Smoke Sift Ritual Array is one of the strongest ritual arrays among the Go Dao ritual arrays. Even a third-layer Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator can forget about breaking it!” the Purple Jade Sect Master said cockily.

Buzz!

Just at this moment, a gale blew above the ritual array. A black-robed figure suddenly appeared, standing in the air.

Gu Hai arrived, having taken only a short time to travel.

“Who is it? Who dares to cause trouble at the Purple Jade Sect?” a Purple Jade Sect disciple shouted coldly.

Gu Hai looked coldly at the Purple Smoke Sift Ritual Array from the sky.

“A Go Dao ritual array? It’s pretty good!” Gu Hai smiled faintly.

Then, Gu Hai approached the ritual array.

“Halt! If you do not, the ritual array will shred you to pieces!” a Purple Jade Sect disciple shouted coldly.

However, Gu Hai ignored that warning and continued towards the ritual array.

“Humph! Reckless fool! Activate the ritual array!” someone shouted.

Buzz!

Faint, purple smoke suddenly appeared outside the ritual array, looking like a fog sweeping towards Gu Hai.

The Purple Jade Sect Master said coldly, “Reckless fool, you shall taste the power of the Purple Smoke Sift Ritual Array!”

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

As the purple fog swept over, it looked picturesque. However, everyone knew that this beautiful fog possessed horrifying corrosive properties. Even an early-stage Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator would be reduced to drops of blood.

“Sect Master, that reckless fool must have been reduced to blood already, right?” a disciple sneered.

The Purple Jade Sect Master nodded, about to speak.

Buzz!

A figure walked out of the fog. It was Gu Hai.

The purple fog strangely avoided Gu Hai, not touching him at all. He walked forward leisurely and had already entered the ritual array.

“What? That’s impossible!” The Purple Jade Sect disciples were stunned.

“Is there something wrong with the ritual array?” a cultivator exclaimed.

That cultivator raised his hand and tossed a huge rock into the purple fog.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

With sizzling sounds, the rock immediately melted.

“It’s not a problem with the ritual array?” everyone said in shock.

“Who is the sect master?” Gu Hai asked seriously.

Time was tight. Gu Hai did not want to waste any time here, so he immediately entered the ritual array as a warning to them not to fight in vain.

Perhaps the Purple Jade Sect Master still had not realized how powerful the Purple Smoke Sift Ritual Array was. He felt boundless rage at Gu Hai’s easy penetration of the ritual array. He looked at Gu Hai sullenly. “Who are you? How dare you barge into my Purple Jade Sect?”

“Oh? So, you are the sect master? That’s good. I have a matter to address with you!” Gu Hai flew over.

“How audacious!” The Purple Jade Sect Master glared.

“Humph! Brat, do you know that barging into my Purple Jade Sect is punished with death? Men! Take him down!” The Purple Jade Sect Master’s eyes turned cold.

“Yes!” A group of Purple Jade Sect disciples immediately soared into the sky to capture Gu Hai.

Gu Hai frowned and gave the Purple Jade Sect Master a strange look. Does this sect master think I am a kind person? I already broke into your Go Dao ritual array, and you still think you can bully me?

Gu Hai extended his hand and gently pinched with his fingers. He seemed to catch a thin purple thread. Using the Go Dao, Gu Hai connected to the Purple Smoke Sift Ritual Array.

The Go Dao laws had not yet vanished eight hundred thousand years ago. With Gu Hai’s Go skills, manipulating the Go Dao laws was easy. Manipulating the Purple Smoke Sift Ritual Array was even easier.

Gu Hai gently tugged on the thin purple thread.

Boom!

The Purple Smoke Sift Ritual Array suddenly produced thick purple fog in all directions.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

When the purple fog touched the surrounding buildings, they melted at a visible pace. Some experts drew their weapons and attacked; others sent manifested palms.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

The purple fog melted the weapons and destroyed the manifested palms.

One of the experts was a Middle Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator who attacked with his bare palm.

“Argh!”

That cultivator could not resist the corrosion of the purple fog.

The purple fog enveloped the Purple Jade Sect in an instant.

However, Gu Hai had precise control. He kept the purple fog a third of a meter away from everyone.

The Purple Jade Sect disciples gaped in horror, not daring to move an inch.

The Purple Smoke Sift Ritual Array held everyone in the sect hostage.

No one dared to breathe heavily, terrified, for their survival depended on Gu Hai’s whim.

Even the Purple Jade Hall had melted in an instant. All the Purple Jade Sect experts were trapped on the plaza with terrified expressions.

The Purple Jade Sect Master no longer dared to move, showing horror on his face.

Now, he finally understood the power of the Purple Smoke Sift Ritual Array and that the person in front was even more powerful.

“So, it is a Go Dao master? Se-Senior, what-what do you want? Who sent you? If I have to die, you have to tell me why at least!” the Purple Jade Sect Master said with horror.

“Senior, spare me!” The others knelt in horror.

“I already said that I have a matter to address with you. I’m looking for you to obtain something.” Gu Hai shook his head.

“You want my Purple Jade Sect’s cornerstone treasure, the Purple Jade Book? Alright. I’ll give it to you. However, you are not to harm my Purple Jade Sect’s disciples!” the Purple Jade Sect Master said with an unsightly expression.

“Sect Master, you can’t!”

“Sect Master, the Purple Jade Book is the foundation of my sect!”

“We will fight it out with him at worst!”

A few Purple Jade Sect disciples immediately objected anxiously.

However, the Purple Jade Sect Master ignored everyone. He only showed despair on his face, hoping that this person would not kill everyone after obtaining the Purple Jade Book.

“Who said I wanted the Purple Jade Book?” Gu Hai felt slightly startled.

“Huh?” The surrounding peoples’ expressions turned stiff.

In confusion, the Purple Jade Sect Master asked, “What else do you want? My sect does not have any other treasure.”

“I only want a map of the world from you, a detailed map. That’s all,” Gu Hai explained seriously.

The Purple Jade Sect Master: “…”

The Purple Jade Sect disciples: “…”

Did we hear wrong?

Gu Hai waved his hand, and the surrounding purple fog vanished.

No one got hurt. It was just that many buildings had melted away.

“I only manipulated this Purple Smoke Sift Ritual Array to calm you down. Sorry for the offense. Purple Jade Sect Master, you are the largest sect in this region. You must know the world best here. Your sect should have the most detailed records of the world, right?” Gu Hai said gravely.

The Purple Jade Sect Master felt somewhat stupefied. You caused such a large commotion just for a map?

“Do you have one?” Gu Hai asked again.

“I-I do. Senior, it’s in there…Uh…this way, please. Please wait for a while for me to retrieve it!” the Purple Jade Sect Master said with a strange expression as he looked at the melted Purple Jade Hall before him.
