Spirit Mountain Holy Land, land of the living:

Lifespan Chunshen arrived at the Hall of Great Strength in somewhat tattered clothes.

Inside the Hall of Great Strength, Jiang Gautama and the Past Buddha frowned at Lifespan Chunshen.

“Kong Xuan…Kong Xuan killed the Sword Deity Six Paths. It’s true!” Lifespan Chunshen insisted anxiously.

The Past Buddha frowned slightly. “Are you referring to the Sword Deity Six Paths replica that we gave the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon? How can that be? How could Kong Xuan be a match for the Sword Deity Six Paths?”

“Why would I lie to you? Kong Xuan really killed the Sword Deity Six Paths. Had I not run fast, I might not have been able to return!” Lifespan Chunshen said with lingering fear.

The Past Buddha appeared skeptical as he turned to Jiang Gautama.

Jiang Gautama said after some silence, “You are saying Gu Hai, Kong Xuan, the Mosquito Daoist, the Unborn Man, that Chang Ming, and the Bodhisattva Lian Sheng went to the Corpse Mound World?”

“Yes. The peak master sent the Fly Daoist, the Sword Deity Six Paths, the Dried Lamp Buddha, and me to deal with them. However, Kong Xuan killed the Sword Deity Six Paths while I was dealing with the Unborn Man. Had I not fled quickly…,” Lifespan Chunshen said anxiously.

“You fled? Why didn’t you seek the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon but came to me instead?” Jiang Gautama appeared slightly dubious.

“The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon is too headstrong and set in his ways. He does not even bother to manage his blessings in the Corpse Mound World. Furthermore, the great resentful spirits in the central corpse pit are incredibly strong. Even the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon does not dare to enter casually. I was worried something unexpected would happen. That’s why I came to you for reinforcements,” Lifespan Chunshen said anxiously.

Jiang Gautama and the Past Buddha stared at Lifespan Chunshen, still suspicious of him.

“Why are you looking at me? Although I’m not from the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, I am considered your ally. Why would I lie to you about this matter?” Lifespan Chunshen said anxiously.

Jiang Gautama remained silent for a while before narrowing his eyes. “Your words are not unreasonable.”

“But, Lord Buddha, why would Gu Hai and his group go there? Could it be…? Oh no! For Gu Han? How can that be? How did Gu Hai discover Gu Han’s location?” The Past Buddha’s eyes suddenly widened.

Jiang Gautama’s face darkened somewhat.

“Jiang Gautama, you had better go look. Gu Hai’s group is truly ferocious, especially that Kong Xuan. That was the Sword Deity Six Paths! Even the Sword Deity Six Paths died at his hands!” Lifespan Chunshen said anxiously.

“The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon is watching over the Corpse Mound World. He is a consummate Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator; who could be his match? Furthermore, he does not like other people interfering in his matters,” Jiang Gautama said with a frown.

“But what if…what if?” Lifespan Chunshen said worriedly.

However, Jiang Gautama suddenly stared at Lifespan Chunshen.

“Why are you looking at me?” Lifespan Chunshen immediately cried out.

“Lifespan Chunshen, Gu Han’s location is an absolute secret. Logically speaking, no one could know his location. How did Gu Hai learn of it? Also, I recall you had intentionally given us a false report before to make us work for you. Hah! This matter is even stranger. When the Corpse Mound World met with trouble, you did not report it to the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon first but came to me?” Jiang Gautama gazed at Lifespan Chunshen, obviously still suspicious.

“You still suspect me? Isn’t it just me asking you to help me find one lifespan pearl? Is there a need to harp on it? Didn’t the Unrestrained Heavenly Demon say to let this matter pass?” Lifespan Chunshen yelled, feeling depressed.

“Correction. You did not ask us to help; you tricked us into going there. We were tricked!” Jiang Gautama retorted.

“Alright, alright! It’s true this time! There’s nothing to suspect. You will know when you go. Furthermore, Gu Hai is not in Borderless Heavenly Capital. You could send someone to Borderless Heavenly Capital and destroy it. That way, you will know I am not lying!” Lifespan Chunshen said gloomily.

Jiang Gautama and the Past Buddha exchanged looks.

“Alright. If it is as Lifespan Chunshen says, Borderless Heavenly Capital’s defenses will be limited, even if they have experts.” The Past Buddha nodded.

“Send the Sword Deity Six Paths,” Jiang Gautama said.

“The Sword Deity Six Paths? Didn’t you give him to the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon? Furthermore, Kong Xuan already killed him!” Lifespan Chunshen exclaimed in shock.

“Who said I replicated the Sword Deity Six Paths only once?” Jiang Gautama said indifferently.

“Oh?” Lifespan Chunshen said in shock.

The Past Buddha walked to the back of the hall.

Soon, the Past Buddha led a golden-robed man into the hall.

“Truly exactly the same. Another Sword Deity Six Paths? The divine blood replication is so incredible! Given this, doesn’t it mean you can have however many you want? Jiang Gautama, how many Sword Deity Six Paths replicas do you have?” Lifespan Chunshen said in shock.

Jiang Gautama ignored Lifespan Chunshen. Instead, he looked at the Sword Deity Six Paths who entered the hall with the Past Buddha.

“Lord Buddha!” the Sword Deity Six Paths greeted respectfully.

“Immediately head to Borderless Heavenly Capital and see if Gu Hai is there. If he is not, immediately destroy Borderless Heavenly Capital and scatter the Han Nation’s blessings!” Jiang Gautama commanded.

“Yes!” the Sword Deity Six Paths answered.

Whoosh!

The Sword Deity Six Paths stepped out of the hall and turned into a beam of light shooting towards the distant Borderless Heavenly Capital.

Curious, Jiang Gautama strolled out of the Hall of Great Strength and followed the Sword Deity Six Paths with his eyes to observe.

Shing!

The Sword Deity Six Paths flew like a divine sword piercing through the clouds and tearing space. He arrived outside Borderless Heavenly Capital in just thirty minutes.

Boom!

Upon his arrival, billions of sword qi burst out of his body and rushed into the surroundings.

“Oh no! Enemy attack!” Startled cries came from above Borderless Heavenly Capital.

Gu Hai had not taken away the Life Trapper Saber. Mo Yike quickly activated it and formed a defensive barrier, blocking the billions of sword qi.

Gao Xianzhi, Chen Tianshan, Mo Yike, Sima Changkong, and Meng Tai ran to the Soaring Palace Hall’s plaza, appearing worried.

His Reverence is not here now. Which expert is this?

“Where’s Gu Hai?!” the golden-robed figure shouted as he stopped in the sky.

Boom!

His voice shook the sky, and the sword qi shredded the clouds for five thousand kilometers around. The expression of everyone in Borderless Heavenly Capital changed dramatically.

Mo Yike’s pupils suddenly constricted. “That is the replica of the Six Paths Veritable Lord’s metal deity body?”

After all, Mo Yike had seen what the Six Paths Veritable Lord looked like eight hundred thousand years ago. This figure looked the same. Furthermore, the sharp aura was simply identical.

Mo Yike already knew about the Sword Deity Six Paths when Sha fought the Sword Deity Six Paths. Unexpectedly, the Sword Deity Six Paths came again.

His Reverence is not here. Long Shenying, Kong Xuan, the Mosquito Daoist, Shangguan Hen, and Ao Shun are not here, either. What should I do?

Spies from various factions all over the world were in Borderless Heavenly Capital too. Their eyelids twitched when they saw the Sword Deity Six Paths. Then they quickly used zither puppets to spread the news.

The leaders of the six factions who had sent their sons to the Han Nation as hostages received word, and their expressions changed. They did not hesitate to fly to Borderless Heavenly Capital.

The three imperial emperors and three sect masters had mixed emotions.

Someone is causing trouble at Borderless Heavenly Capital again? This Borderless Heavenly Capital is truly ill-fated. I wish someone would destroy it. I also worry that my son will get hurt.

The six soon arrived.

Besides these six, the Yan Heavenly Dynasty’s War God Marquis, Xingtian, also received word.

“Is this true?” Xingtian looked at a subordinate before him.

“Yes. If the information is right, that should be the swordsman that Jiang Gautama sent previously!” that subordinate said.

“Oh? This is interesting. Haha! I’ll go see!” Xingtian guffawed.

Boom!

Xingtian rushed out of the hall.

Xingtian was at the peak of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm’s ninth layer, higher than the Sword Deity Six Paths. Naturally, he moved faster.

Many other experts rushed over and gathered outside Borderless Heavenly Capital.

The leaders of the six factions landed at a mountain peak, appearing anxious.

“What a powerful aura! Why is this sword Dao aura so strong? It is close to Sect Master Heavenly Access’s.” One sovereign’s face sank.

“Similar to Sect Master Heavenly Access?” A sect master’s eyes lit up. “Oh, I know now! This is that swordsman the Spirit Mountain Holy Land sent previously, the one who shattered countless stars in the previous battle!”

“This sword Dao aura is horrifying! No one in the world can compare, right? The six of us together might not be his match!” a sovereign said with an unsightly expression.

“Can Gu Hai block it? My son is still in Borderless Heavenly Capital,” a sect master said, scowling.

“He can. He must. Didn’t he block it previously?”

The six watched worriedly.

Whoosh!

Xingtian also arrived in the vicinity, landing on another summit.

“Sword Dao? It is indeed more incredible than Sect Master Heavenly Access’s!” Xingtian said in shock.

The Sword Deity Six Paths did not immediately attack. The Present Buddha had commanded he probe for Gu Hai’s presence first. He could only attack if Gu Hai was not around.

“Where is Gu Hai? Get out here!” the Sword Deity Six Paths shouted again while glaring.

His voice carried a powerful sword conception. It was like ten thousand swords crashing into Borderless Heavenly Capital’s barrier.

However, Gu Hai did not appear at the Soaring Palace Hall’s entrance. Only a monk ambled over from nearby—a monk no one knew.

“Gu Hai is not around? He is not in Borderless Heavenly Capital? Then…then what should we do?” a sovereign said anxiously.

The expressions of the six faction leaders changed dramatically. Now, they started readying their moves. The moment Borderless Heavenly Capital fell into danger, they would immediately save their sons.

“Gu Hai left Borderless Heavenly Capital again?” Xingtian appeared slightly confused.

------

Far away, at the Hall of Great Strength’s entrance, Spirit Mountain Holy Land, Jiang Gautama narrowed his eyes slightly. “Indeed, Gu Hai is not at Borderless Heavenly Capital. Furthermore, Long Shenying, Shangguan Hen, Kong Xuan, the Mosquito Daoist, and the other peak experts are all not there. Borderless Heavenly Capital is now an empty husk.”

“Lord Buddha, Borderless Heavenly Capital is an empty husk? Does that mean…” The Past Buddha’s eyes lit up.

Jiang Gautama nodded. “That’s right. The Sword Deity Six Paths can make his move now.”

After saying that, Jiang Gautama held his palms together, sending his voice to the distant Sword Deity Six Paths’s ears.

------

“You can attack now. Exterminate Borderless Heavenly Capital and destroy their blessings!” Jiang Gautama’s voice rang out.

Murderous intent flashed in the Sword Deity Six Paths’s eyes as he said respectfully, “Yes!”

Shing!

The Sword Deity Six Paths drew his holy sword.
