Everlasting Immortal Firmament-Book 5: Chapter 110: Gu Tang’s Invitation

Book 5: Chapter 110: Gu Tang’s Invitation

The Dreaming of Heavenly Secrets Technique?

The words on the box were “Dreaming of Heavenly Secrets Technique.” Gu Hai studied the words, and shock flashed in his eyes.

Dreaming of Heavenly Secrets Technique? It was a technique for bringing the spiritual souls out of the body. After that, the spiritual souls could divide into two hundred portions. One could make these portions reincarnate or re-cultivate from scratch as spiritual souls. Doing that was like having two hundred of one’s self cultivating at the same time. When the two hundred portions merged back together, all the cultivation gains would compound.

The Dreaming of Heavenly Secrets Technique was only an auxiliary cultivation technique. However, such an auxiliary cultivation technique would accelerate one’s cultivation speed two hundred times.

“The Slaughter Heavenly Dynasty’s Divine Blood Army entered the Asura Secret Realm for six thousand years. When they came out, all were powerful experts. What if I can bring my Han Nation’s army in? One year would be like two hundred years?” Gu Hai’s pupils constricted.

Then, Gu Hai read through the Dreaming of Heavenly Secrets Technique again. After a while, he raised his eyebrows slightly, making an ugly face.

The Dreaming of Heavenly Secrets Technique required a tool, which was the Ghost Sealing Box—rather, the Soul Dividing Box—in his forehead space. It served as a primer to divide the spiritual souls into two hundred portions.

When Gu Hai saw the Soul Dividing Box for the first time in the Soul Calling Hall, the evil spirits that ran out of it were not truly evil spirits. Instead, they were the spiritual souls of people who had used the Soul Dividing Box. Back then, the Soul Calling Hall had one thousand coffins. These one thousand people had used the Soul Dividing Box together and executed the Dreaming of Heavenly Secrets Technique.

Logically speaking, the two hundred portions should have returned together. However, something happened for some reason. The two hundred portions returned intermittently and could not return to the body. They became evil spirits stuck in the box.

This was also why, when the Soul Dividing Box was opened, there would always be evil spirits coming out, no matter when one opened it.

“There is a maximum of one thousand people each time?” Gu Hai frowned slightly.

Although having one thousand trusted commanders would be extremely incredible, Gu Ha still felt somewhat disappointed.

Unfortunately, according to the Dreaming of Heavenly Secrets Technique, there was only one Soul Dividing Box in the world. The material used to make it no longer existed in the world, as it was formed by the heavenly Dao. The material was unique, and the cultivation technique was built with the Soul Dividing Box as the foundation. Without the Soul Dividing Box, the Dreaming of Heavenly Secrets Technique was useless.

“Wait a minute?!” Gu Hai’s eyes suddenly gleamed.

As he looked at the Soul Dividing Box, some hesitation flashed in his narrowed eyes. However, he made up his mind after a while.

Gu Hai took out the Life Executioner Saber and ruthlessly chopped down on the Soul Dividing Box.

“Meow! Are you crazy?!” A startled cry came from the Soul Dividing Box.

——

In a distant mountain forest, the black cat that Gu Hai let out opened its eyes wide in shock and horror.

The black cat had helped Gu Hai refine the Soul Dividing Box, so the black cat’s aura was in it. Naturally, the black cat had the means to sense it. It had only handed the Soul Dividing Box to Gu Hai temporarily. It had left its mark on it and intended to take it back sooner or later. Letting Gu Hai use it for a few years was its way of repaying him.

The black cat believed that anyone would feel incredibly excited when they saw the Dreaming of Heavenly Secrets Technique, and would cautiously protect the Soul Dividing Box. However, the first thing Gu Hai did after understanding the situation was swing his saber at the Soul Dividing Box, destroying it? How could this be?

——

Boom!

With a loud sound, Gu Hai broke the Soul Dividing Box into more than a thousand fragments. Black energy came out from the fragments and vanished.

“Huh? There seemed to be a cat’s cry earlier?” Gu Hai frowned slightly.

That cat’s cry sounded very familiar.

Gu Hai looked around gravely. Unable to find any trace of the black cat, he could only leave it be, unable to do anything.

——

In the distant mountain forest:

The black cat was utterly stupefied.

“Is this Gu Hai a fool? Are you crazy? Are you crazy?! That is the Soul Dividing Box! It has the Dreaming of Heavenly Secrets Technique, a treasure that Six Paths has been searching for! Yet…yet…you destroyed it?! Destroyed?! You madman! Did you do it to erase my mark? Yes, my mark is completely gone from the Soul Dividing Box, but even so, you can’t be that extravagant! Have the people of the world changed over eight hundred thousand years? Why am I so unlucky?!” The black cat felt frustrated.

——

Naturally, Gu Hai, who was in Heavenly Yin City, did not know what the black cat felt. He carefully put away the fragments of the Soul Dividing Box. Then, he picked out the largest piece and concentrated. Mending Heaven Energy flowed out of his dantian and entered that Soul Dividing Box fragment.

Buzz!

The Soul Dividing Box fragment started growing at a strangely fast pace, restoring itself.

Soon, that Soul Dividing Box fragment turned into one complete Soul Dividing Box, looking exactly like before. However, this was mended from just one Soul Dividing Box fragment.

Gu Hai activated the Dreaming of Heavenly Secrets Technique.

Buzz! The Soul Dividing Box shone green.

“Mending Heaven Energy? It succeeded? The Soul Dividing Box does not need much Mending Heaven Energy. It is just that it has a special characteristic?” Excitement flashed in Gu Hai’s eyes.

This was restored from just a fragment. I still have more than a thousand other fragments. That means that…

Gu Hai took a deep breath and carefully put the Soul Dividing Box away, excitement blazing in his eyes.

One thousand people per box and one thousand boxes meant an army of one million, or even more.

Gu Hai shifted his attention to the Mortal Soul Register in his body.

While he could not use the Mortal Soul Register, it was something that could be used to harm Chen Xianer. Naturally, he could not hand it to someone else.

Perhaps the Mortal Soul Register could restore Chen Xianer’s mortal soul, but he did not want to take the risk. He would restrain himself if he was not entirely confident.

Gu Hai focused and regulated his energy, stabilizing the significant increase in his cultivation.

He came out of closed-door cultivation five days later. No sooner had he opened the door than Long Wanyu ran over excitedly. “Brother-in-Law, you finally came out. Had you taken longer, I would have called the old fogey over!”

“Your Majesty!” Mo Yike smiled bitterly as he looked at Long Wanyu.

“Hall Master!” Mu Chenfeng showed a bitter expression as well.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Hai looked at everyone in confusion.

“What else can be wrong? It has been frustrating. Brother-in-Law, you have no idea. The threshold of my residence has been trampled flat over the past few days. They are all here to invite you to banquets, but I stopped them. Look! The invitations are there!” Long Wanyu pointed to a nearby box of invitations.

“Oh? Inviting me to banquets?” Gu Hai said in confusion.

“His Holy Eminence showed great favor to Hall Master. These people are probably here to pander to you. However, I don’t understand why the third crown prince and Sima Zongheng also sent people over to deliver invitations,” Mu Chenfeng said, feeling curious.

“What could it be about? What else could it be aside from His Majesty’s two compositions?” Mo Yike shook his head.

“Compositions? The Song of Noble Spirit and the Classic of the Dao and Virtue that Hall Master wrote at the Ten Thousand Sages Convention?” Mu Chenfeng’s expression suddenly changed.

“What else can it be?” Gu Hai said with a cold smile.

“How can we allow that? Humph! If any more come, I’ll break their legs!” Long Wanyu glared.

Now that the cultural Dao’s laws had been taken away by Heaven, all calligraphy Dao cultivators were practically crippled. However, the compositions that already existed could still connect to some laws. Hence, these compositions were exceptionally precious.

The Supreme Ascendant Scripture was already one of the top scriptures in the world. However, it still lost to the Classic of the Dao and Virtue. This showed how powerful the Classic of the Dao and Virtue was. Countless people targeted these scriptures.

“We can’t stop it from happening. What will come will come.” Gu Hai shook his head with a serious expression.

Mo Yike looked at Gu Hai. “Your Majesty, what should we do about this box of invitations?”

Gu Hai looked back at Mo Yike. “Have you indexed them?”𝑓𝑟e𝒆𝘄e𝗯𝒏𝙤v𝒆l.𝒄o𝑚

Mo Yike handed a list over.

“Yes! There are various people from the Qian Nation, from the crown prince to commoners. There are also invitations from the various holy lands and heavenly dynasties. I have collated them all. However, there is one rather special invitation. This official…,” Mo Yike said with a frown.

“Oh?” Gu Hai said.

Mo Yike picked out an invitation from the box.

This invitation letter appeared old-fashioned. Moreover, it did not have a single word on it.

“Who is it from? Did they forget to write in it?” Long Wanyu asked in confusion.

Mu Chenfeng said, “Someone asked me to pass this invitation to Hall Master. He said to get Hall Master to seek him out. I nearly tossed the invitation away upon seeing it, thinking this person was crazy. Hall Master might not even accept the invitation from the Qian Nation’s crown princes. What a strange person, delivering a blank invitation and even wanting the Hall Master to seek him out. However, Lord Mo stopped me.”

Mo Yike nodded.

Gu Hai narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the invitation.

“Brother-in-Law, what is there to see about this invitation?”

“Hall Master, that person must be causing trouble on purpose, right?”

While Mu Chenfeng and Long Wanyu felt confused, Gu Hai looked at Mo Yike and asked, “Mister Mo, how did you know?”

“Back in Borderless Heavenly Capital, I once saw Crown Prince Gu Qin use the same invitation letter. This style is unique. There was a picture of a blue star in front. So, this official remembered it,” Mo Yike said respectfully.

Blue star? Gu Hai smiled faintly as he carefully put the letter away.

That was not a blue star but a picture of Earth. Gu Hai had personally made this letter back then. Then, he gave one to each of his four adopted sons when he taught them how to write invitation letters.

There were only four such letters in the world.

When Mu Chenfeng and Long Wanyu heard what Mo Yike said, they immediately understood. Then, they looked at the invitation with curiosity.

“Brother-in-Law, should I send someone to find out who sent you this invitation?” Long Wanyu asked with anticipation.

“Indeed. Hall Master, this subordinate did not know that it was sent by someone Hall Master knew. I’ll send the Elite Hall disciples to find that person,” Mu Chenfeng immediately said.

“There’s no need.” Gu Hai shook his head.

When Gu Hai saw the letter, he already knew who had sent it. This was a letter that he had made, so he could immediately tell the difference. This one was sent by Gu Tang, the third of his four adopted sons. Since his third adopted son sent someone over with the invitation, it meant that Gu Tang was safe.

Since he is not in danger, how can the parent be the one visiting the son when meeting again?

It has been twenty years since we met. Is Gu Tang still the same Gu Tang as back then? Anything can happen in twenty years.
