Everlasting Immortal Firmament-Book 5: Chapter 145: Luring the Wolf Home

Book 5: Chapter 145: Luring the Wolf Home

At the entrance of a city:

The Mosquito Daoist appeared sunk in depression.

“This is uncanny! I quietly informed ten powerful animal spirits, and they all went to the Solar Divine Palace to report to the Supreme Genesis. Why is there no more word from them? Why? Did those ten animal spirits vanish? Screw this crap! What bullshit is this?!” The Mosquito Daoist was utterly depressed.

After a while, the Mosquito Daoist’s expression changed. “Could Gu Hai be aware of it, and he dealt with those ten animal spirits?”

——

On a mountaintop:

The Great Light Sovereign Deity looked at the ten fearful animal spirits before him.

“Speak! Who is it?” the Great Light Sovereign Deity demanded coldly.

“We don’t know, either. We just got a letter delivered to us, telling us to report this matter to the Solar Divine Palace, and that there would be a big reward. We…I…Great Light Sovereign Deity, we really don’t know anything!” the ten powerful animal spirits insisted anxiously.

The Great Light Sovereign Deity narrowed his eyes slightly. “Humph! Gu Hai’s reach is really far. To think that he even has men in the Solar Divine Palace? Trying to report it? In your dreams!”

——

Heaven City was not far away.

Surrounded by many angels, Gu Hai’s flying ship flew towards a large cloud sea.

“I recall that you mentioned the Revival Pool earlier? Is that how Yehua revived?” Gu Hai looked at Long Sanqian.

“The Revival Pool is a special treasure belonging to the Supreme Genesis. According to my father, the Supreme Genesis formed it by gathering boundless power of faith. Only extremely powerful angels are qualified to store a wisp of their Soul Energy in it as an anchor. That way, even if they die outside or if their spiritual souls get shattered, the power of faith can bring the shattered soul fragments back to the Revival Pool. The power of faith will nourish them inside, restoring their spiritual souls and reconstructing a new body!” Long Sanqian exclaimed.

“Oh? Doesn’t that mean that they have an extra life?” Gu Hai raised his eyebrows.

“Yes. Unfortunately, it is useful to only angels. Otherwise, all the various factions around the world would fight over it,” Long Sanqian said with a bitter smile.

“Why?”

“I’m not sure.” Long Sanqian shook his head.

“While you are not, I am,” Long Aotian immediately sneered.

“Oh? Elder Brother, you know?” Long Sanqian said in surprise.

[TL Note: In Chinese culture, one addresses elder cousins as elder brother or elder sister.]

“Of course. Why can only angels revive? That is because angels are spirit-assimilated humans. A spirit-assimilated human had their mortal soul eaten by the primogenitor before having a drop of the primogenitor’s essence blood injected into them. The result is spirit assimilation. However, the mortal souls of the angels are not eaten by the Supreme Genesis. Instead, they are eaten by the Cross Annihilation,” Long Aotian explained cockily.

“The Cross Annihilation? The tenth of the top sixteen ancient treasures?” Gu Hai’s expression changed.

“That’s right. The Cross Annihilation consumes the human’s mortal soul, and the Supreme Genesis provides the essence blood. The result is angels. When angels die outside, the Cross Annihilation summons their souls with the power of faith, using their mortal souls as anchors, bringing back even shattered soul fragments and fixing them. Of course, there is only one chance for that. The consumed mortal soul is used in summoning the souls, and the mortal soul will shatter afterwards, with no chance of restoring it,” Long Aotian said with certainty.

“Oh? Then, why does it work for only certain angels?” Long Sanqian asked, feeling bewildered.

“Do you not need to use the power of faith to summon the souls? That’s why they claim to outsiders that it can revive only important angels because they stored a wisp of their Soul Energy as an anchor. That is all a lie. No, more specifically, it is to trick the angels. It is just that the insignificant angels are not worth wasting so much power of faith,” Long Aotian explained.

“The Revival Pool? It is related to the Cross Annihilation?” Gu Hai felt slightly startled.

“Mister Gu, your companions are truly well-learned. To think that they even know of my Heaven City’s secrets!” Yanxuan suddenly turned his head and looked at them.

“Well-learned? That’s too polite. First Young Master Yanxuan, this humble one has something I do not understand. Would you explain it to me?” Gu Hai said with a smile.

“Oh?”

“According to that Angel Jia Mi, Bing Ji is imprisoned, awaiting being given away in marriage?” Gu Hai said, feeling curious.

Before Yanxuan could say anything, Yehua sneered, “Gu Hai, I thought you had already forgotten about Bing Ji. Humph! Bing Ji failed to complete the Eastern Monarch’s mission and even wrecked Father’s plan. The Eastern Monarch is furious and wants to marry Bing Ji out. As for the candidate, Father will decide. Father wants to sell her for a good price. What’s wrong? You can’t bear for that to happen? Hahaha!”

Yehua looked at Gu Hai ferociously.

“So, that is the case?” Gu Hai released his bated breath.

“Mister Gu, I heard that Bing Ji fell in love with you and lost her chastity when she went to the Han Royal Dynasty. I believe…Mister Gu is interested in trying?” Yanxuan said with a faint smile.

“Trying? Sure. Later on.” Gu Hai shook his head.

“Later on?” Yanxuan appeared somewhat confused.

The angels soon arrived above the cloud sea, and everyone saw the vast Heaven City.

Countless angels flew all over the place. When seen from a distance, it seemed like a peaceful holy realm.

Whoosh!

The angels flew into Heaven City. Gu Hai’s gaze shifted to the center of the city, where a pure-white light glowed.

“That is the Revival Pool?” Sima Changkong asked in curiosity.

“Activate the ritual array!” Yanxuan suddenly shouted.

Boom!

Suddenly, a large barrier formed around Heaven City amid loud noises, enveloping the entire city and blocking all passage.

“Oh?” Gu Hai smiled faintly.

“Gu Hai, to think that you still can smile! Hahaha! Even at your death, you still do not understand your situation! Hand over the Classic of the Dao and Virtue. Otherwise, we will use force!” Yehua suddenly shouted furiously.

“The Classic of the Dao and Virtue?” Gu Hai narrowed his eyes.

Clearly, the angels did not know that Gu Hai had already torn the Classic of the Dao and Virtue.

“That’s right. Gu Hai, this young master was previously worried you would go all out in a life-and-death struggle, tearing the Classic of the Dao and Virtue to flee. That’s why I lured you here. Unexpectedly, you were so cooperative. I do feel quite curious about this. Did you really think that I was truly inviting you over as a guest?” Yanxuan asked with slightly narrowed eyes.

“First Young Master Yanxuan, initially, I felt somewhat embarrassed about planning to do this. Now, I have nothing to worry about,” Gu Hai replied with a smile.

“Worry about what?” Yehua’s face sank.

Yanxuan’s face sank as he noticed that something was not quite right. However, he could not figure out what it was. His father had told him that Gu Hai was a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, and the rest were his subordinates. Is Gu Hai going to tear the Classic of the Dao and Virtue?

“Angel Jia Mi said that Bing Ji is imprisoned. Initially, I was thinking about how to save her. Given the situation now, there’s no need to save her anymore. I don’t even need to search for her,” Gu Hai said with a faint, cold smile.

“What did you say?” Yanxuan’s face sank further.

“Gu Hai, what madness are you raving about?” Yehua glared, not understanding.

“Ao Shun, capture Yanxuan. I want him alive!” Gu Hai commanded.

“Ah?” Long Sanqian and Long Aotian felt startled.

What is Gu Hai doing? Entering their territory and attacking them?

“Yes!” Ao Shun answered.

“Ao Shun?” Yanxuan’s expression suddenly changed. Things were not going as planned.

Ao Shun’s figure flashed and instantly arrived before Yanxuan.

Boom!

The two attacked simultaneously, clashing. Space trembled, and a violent windstorm surged out.

“Argh! Argh! Argh!”

The immense force knocked Yehua back.

“What? Gu Hai, did you put on a weak facade?” Yehua shouted as the windstorm sent him flying.

“The Supreme Genesis is not at home; what do I have to worry about? Since you delivered yourselves to me, you can’t blame anyone else,” Gu Hai retorted coldly.

“Long Aotian, attack with everything you have. Capture Yehua!” Gu Hai commanded Long Aotian.

“Long Aotian?” Yehua’s face sank.

However, Long Aotian did not move.

“Huh?” Gu Hai’s face sank as he looked at Long Aotian.

“My grudge with the Supreme Genesis is only over Yehua. Now that Yehua is alive, what do I have to worry about? Hahaha! Gu Hai, you are seeking your own death. Don’t drag me in. I will only observe!” Long Aotian said with a faint smile.

“Elder Brother!” Long Sanqian said with an anxious expression.

“Shut up, Sanqian. This has nothing to do with you!” Long Aotian said in disdain.

On the other side, Ao Shun and Yanxuan fought. On this side, many angels protected Yehua.

Yehua initially felt somewhat worried about Long Aotian. However, there was now dissent among Gu Hai’s ranks.

Yehua suddenly showed a ferocious expression. “Hahaha! Gu Hai, to think that you have this day! Capture Gu Hai! Hurry! I want the Classic of the Dao and Virtue!”

“Yes!”

Many angels immediately charged at Gu Hai.

“Fire!” Mu Chenfeng shouted.

Boom!

Suddenly, ten-odd angels leading the charge exploded.

“The Heaven Blasting Cannon again?” Yehua’s expression changed.

“Humph! There is only one Heaven Blasting Cannon! Attack! Quickly capture Gu Hai and the rest!” Yehua shouted while glaring.

“Yes!”

Suddenly, several six-winged angels flapped their wings and rushed towards Gu Hai’s flying ship.

“Bring out all the cannons!” Mu Chenfeng shouted.

Rumble…!

A total of eighteen Heaven Blasting Cannons appeared and aimed at the six-winged angels.

“They’re fake! They must be fake! How can there be so many Heaven Blasting Cannons? That’s impossible! Capture them!” Yehua roared while glaring.

“Yes!”

The six-winged angels continued charging over.

“Fire!”

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

As a string of explosions rang out, nine six-winged angels blew up. The blasts sent the remaining six-winged angels tumbling.

“What? They are all real?” Yehua’s expression changed.

“Fire again!” Mu Chenfeng shouted.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The angels surrounding the flying ship exploded into pieces. Then, the Heaven Blasting Cannons aimed and fired at the remaining six-winged angels.

“How could it be like this?! How could it be like this?!” Yehua’s expression changed wildly.

At the side, Long Aotian showed an unsightly expression. He initially wanted to see how the angels dealt with Gu Hai. Unexpectedly, Gu Hai’s Heaven Blasting Cannons were so powerful.

High in the sky, the expression of Yanxuan, who was fighting with Ao Shun, changed. “I lured the wolf into our home? This is bad!”

“First Elder Lu Fa! Heaven City is in danger! Quickly come out!” Yanxuan shouted.

Rumble…!

Ten-odd buildings in Heaven City suddenly shook, spewing large amounts of black energy.

“Oh no!” Gu Hai’s face sank.

“Mu Chenfeng, protect us!” Gu Hai shouted.

“Yes!” Mu Chenfeng shouted.

Boom!

Gu Hai stomped and launched himself at Yehua.

“Stop him! Stop him!” Yehua’s expression changed as he tried to flee into the distance.

Many angels rushed towards Gu Hai.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Heaven Blasting Cannons immediately exploded all the angels charging towards Gu Hai. He moved extremely quickly, instantly arriving near Yehua.
