Book 07 Chapter 054: Coming with Ferocious Momentum
Ying Divine City, Ying Imperial Dynasty:
“A lifespan ritual array at Three Mountains City? You started laying it half a year ago?” Long Sanqian looked at Long Shenying in shock.
“Indeed. It is at the junction of three nations, quite a rare location.” Long Shenying narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked into the distance.
“That means regardless of whether that unfilial son exchanged souls with me, today’s events would have happened. If I were the one in Martial Heaven City, you would scheme against me as well? You would make the Wu Nation and the Han Nation go down together while you reaped the benefits? Your purpose is to swallow up the Han Nation and the Wu Nation together? No, even if you cannot destroy the Han Nation, you want to damage the Han Nation severely, destroying their peak experts?” Long Sanqian glared at Long Shenying.
Long Shenying showed Long Sanqian a faint smile. “My excellent younger brother, you are indeed well versed in the way of a sovereign. You are no fool. Of course, you are not smart enough, either. Otherwise, would your souls have gotten swapped? However, you could be equal to me using Sima Changkong’s intelligence.”
“Humph!” Long Sanqian snorted coldly.
“The Han Nation has Mo Yike, and the Wu Nation has Sima Changkong. The two are peak strategists. As long as there are any minor movements in my Ying Imperial Dynasty, they will notice it. I wanted them to think I kept my guard up against you two but was not interested in participating in your war. Do you know how difficult it was to hide that from Mo Yike and Sima Changkong? However, I managed it. The war between your two nations has been too intense—so intense that you overlooked me. Of course, even if you did not overlook me, you would not expect the Spirit Mountain Holy Land to get involved. The Southern Sea Dragon King is just a pawn of the Spirit Mountain Holy Land. If we could not hide it from you all after so much preparation, that would be too incompetent of us,” Long Shenying said seriously.
“The Spirit Mountain Holy Land? Why are they working with you?” Long Sanqian asked in confusion.
“We are just using each other. The Spirit Mountain Holy Land wants our two nations to deal with Gu Hai, and I need to use the Wu Imperial Dynasty and the Spirit Mountain Holy Land to deal with Gu Hai. After I capture the Han Nation’s and Wu Nation’s territories, I can try climbing to the peak and succeed Eminent Father’s previous position!” Long Shenying declared solemnly.
“A heavenly dynasty?” Long Sanqian’s face sank.
“I have a report!” an official rushed over.
“Reporting to Your Reverence! A report arrived from Three Mountains City! After Ao Sheng, Ao Shun, Shangguan Hen, the Southern Sea Dragon King, and Kong Xuan entered the ritual array in Three Mountains City, Long Shenwu drove the power of the Wu Nation and also entered the ritual array,” that official said respectfully.
“You want to kill them all?” Long Sanqian looked at Long Shenying.
“That will depend on Gu Hai. Perhaps this might not be all the harvest.” Long Shenying smiled.
“Oh?”
“Alright. It’s time to go. I’ll bring you to get your body back. Third Younger Brother, remember what you said.” Long Shenying looked at Long Sanqian.
“Don’t worry. I will fulfill my promise to you and join your Ying Imperial Dynasty when I get my body back. However, I want a royal title!” Long Sanqian said coldly.
“Alright!” Long Shenwu nodded.
After Long Shenying spoke, he looked at the blessings cloud sea in the sky.
“Ying Imperial Dynasty citizens, we are Long Shenying. We desire to usher in an even more glorious era for the Ying Imperial Dynasty. We sincerely ask you citizens to raise your right hands and lend us your energy!” Long Shenying shouted.
“Roar!”
The golden blessings dragon in the blessings cloud sea above suddenly roared, sending Long Shenying’s voice to all the Ying Nation citizens.
While the Wu Nation’s blessings had already thinned out, the Ying Imperial Dynasty’s blessings were vast and dense, filled with boundless power. Furthermore, the citizens were at peace and had great confidence in Long Shenying.
Long Shenying’s call received a tremendous response; nearly all the citizens raised their right hands.
The energy turned into beams of light streaking to the golden blessings dragon. Then the golden blessings dragon roared, bringing the Ying Nation’s power into Long Shenying’s body.
Boom!
A powerful energy shock wave spread into the surroundings, with Long Shenying as the center.
“Alright, it’s time to go.”
Long Shenying grabbed Long Sanqian, and their figures flashed, heading towards Three Mountains City.
Whoosh! The two vanished into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Borderless Heavenly Capital:
The Mosquito Daoist rushed over when he received the news.
“Your Reverence, the Ying Imperial Dynasty interfered? They ambushed Kong Xuan, Shangguan Hen, and Ao Shun in Three Mountains City?” the Mosquito Daoist said with an unsightly expression.
“The Ying Imperial Dynasty laid an ambush? Not just; there’s also the Spirit Mountain Holy Land. Hah! The Spirit Mountain Holy Land had been preparing for some time. What do they want?” Gu Hai said with a sullen expression.
“Your Reverence, this official will reinforce Kong Xuan, Shangguan Hen, and Ao Shun. At least I can get them back,” the Mosquito Daoist said with a frown.
“You alone will not be enough,” Gu Hai said seriously.
“Oh?”
“They have Ao Sheng, the Southern Sea Dragon King, Long Shenwu, and Long Shenying. Among these, the Long brothers are even using their nations’ blessings. While the Wu Nation has lost most of its territory, so you can barely deal with Long Shenwu after he drives the power of his nation, what about Long Shenying? How will you deal with him? He is stronger than Long Shenwu and has the power of a great nation. He would be no weaker than Sect Master Heavenly Access. If you go, you all might die there. The Han Imperial Dynasty would suffer a substantial loss,” Gu Hai said sullenly.
“However, we can flee!” the Mosquito Daoist said anxiously.
“If they could flee, Kong Xuan would have already fled long ago. Hah! A lifespan ritual array? The Spirit Mountain Holy Land has invested heavily in this!” Gu Hai said with a sullen expression.
“Your Reverence, this official has failed!” Mo Yike said with a bitter expression.
“You are not to blame. After all, we have not figured out the Spirit Mountain Holy Land’s purpose here,” Gu Hai said.
“This official guesses these people might not be the only ones, given the Spirit Mountain Holy Land’s ferocious momentum.” Mo Yike frowned.
“Oh?” The Mosquito Daoist’s expression changed.
“Besides Three Mountains City, they might target my Borderless Heavenly Capital. They are aiming to destroy my Han Imperial Dynasty!” Mo Yike said with an unsightly expression.
Gu Hai’s face sank.
“Should we mount a rescue at Three Mountains City, then?” the Mosquito Daoist asked worriedly.
“We have to. If we don’t, Kong Xuan and the rest will die!” Gu Hai said.
“Then this official will immediately head over!” The Mosquito Daoist nodded.
“No. You stay in Borderless Heavenly Capital. We will go!” Gu Hai said.
“Your Reverence, you can’t! If you leave Borderless Heavenly Capital and the Spirit Mountain Holy Land sends experts, my Borderless Heavenly Capital will be in danger!” Mo Yike said anxiously.
“Mosquito Daoist, stay behind and defend the city with everything you have,” Gu Hai instructed.
“Yes, Your Reverence!” the Mosquito Daoist answered with a frown.
“Don’t worry. Borderless Heavenly Capital is not as weak as you think. We made arrangements long ago.” Gu Hai looked at everyone gravely.
“Yes!”
“Unborn Man, since you can make out the lifespan ritual array, come with us to Three Mountains City and do your best to rescue Kong Xuan and the others.” Gu Hai looked at the Unborn Man.
“I will do my best!” The Unborn Man nodded.
Only now did Gu Hai raise his head to look at the blessings cloud sea above. The Han Nation had captured close to four hundred cities from the Wu Nation, making the golden blessings dragon even larger. As it breathed, it exuded a faint purple energy.
“Han Imperial Dynasty citizens, the Han Nation ran into another calamity today. External enemies are running rampant, desiring to destroy our nation. Today, we sincerely ask the Han Nation citizens to raise your right hands and lend us your energy. Help us destroy the enemy and shake the world!” Gu Hai shouted.
“Roar!”
The golden blessings dragon roared, sending Gu Hai’s voice to all his citizens.
Gu Hai recently defeated Sect Master Heavenly Access. When the citizens learned about it, they trusted and revered him even more than ever. When he issued a call now, the Han Imperial Dynasty citizens quickly raised their right hands.
“Your Reverence, use my energy!”
“Your Reverence, this humble citizen will lend you his energy!”
“Defend my Han Nation and destroy the external enemies!”
Voices rang out, carrying the citizens’ energy. Then the energy poured into the golden blessings dragon.
The golden blessings dragon roared and rushed down to Gu Hai, entering his body with the Han Nation’s power.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Gu Hai’s clothes fluttered from the powerful energy.
Although most of the citizens from the nearly four hundred newly captured cities were reluctant to lend their energy to Gu Hai, some still did. Furthermore, the large clans cooperated and provided Gu Hai with a vast amount of energy.
This energy was even more potent than when he fought Sect Master Heavenly Access.
Gu Hai’s muscles bulged.
“Unborn Man, let’s go!” Gu Hai beckoned.
Whoosh!
Gu Hai’s figure flashed after he picked up the Unborn Man, rushing towards Three Mountains City. He reached Three Mountains City after a while.
Gu Hai and the Unborn Man stopped outside the Three Mountains City, causing a gale.
When the two approached, they saw a white fog blanketing Three Mountains City, hiding anything strange. However, Gu Hai had opened his heavenly eye earlier and seen black energy. That was Corpse Energy—boundless Corpse Energy. It was like a tornado covering the entire city.
“Unborn Man, can you break it?” Gu Hai looked at the Unborn Man.
“What a complicated lifespan ritual array! It will not be easy to break. I will need time!” the Unborn Man said.
“You deal with breaking it. We will enter first!” Gu Hai said.
“Your Reverence, are you going to rescue Kong Xuan, Shangguan Hen, and Ao Shun? This official has four Lifespan Connecting Talismans, one for each of you. If you activate it, this official can use a lifespan technique to pull you out first.” The Unborn Man took out four black jade talismans.
“Lifespan Connecting Talismans?” Gu Hai’s eyes lit up.
“Yes. The lifespan ritual array formed an independent world. This official will not enter, in case of anything unexpected. There are only four Lifespan Connecting Talismans. Your Reverence, use them well. Perhaps you might not need to wait for me to break the ritual array to come out,” the Unborn Man said gravely.
“Unborn Man, you returned at an excellent time. If we can get past this calamity, you will hold the highest contribution!”
Gu Hai grabbed the Lifespan Connecting Talismans and charged into the fog.

Right after Gu Hai left, Borderless Heavenly Capital:
A group of monks stood on a mountaintop far from Borderless Heavenly Capital.
The Past Buddha and the Future Buddha led the monks. Di Shitian, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva stood behind them. There were also many buddhas, bodhisattvas, and arhats shining with golden light.
“Amitābha! Gu Hai has already left for Three Mountains City!” the Future Buddha said with palms held together.
“Lord Buddha, do we need so many people to deal with a Borderless Heavenly Capital without Gu Hai?” Di Shitian smiled.
Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva were powerhouses who could beat Sect Master Heavenly Access into retreat. Furthermore, there was the Past Buddha, the Future Buddha, and Di Shitian. This combination could sweep away every imperial dynasty, yet they came to deal with a Borderless Heavenly Capital that lacked Gu Hai?
“We cannot fail in this operation. That’s why I called you all together. Since Gu Hai dares to leave, he must have something to rely on. Be careful!” the Past Buddha exhorted.
“Yes!”
