Everlasting Immortal Firmament-Chapter 192Book 07 : The Abnormal Mao Tianyun

Gu Hai examined the towering tree image behind Kong Xuan.

“The Great Dao?” He frowned slightly.

“Yes, Your Reverence. I now feel the presence of one Dao of the world. I can only harness a little of its power, but it is much stronger than my previous strength,” Kong Xuan explained.

“Oh? You can feel the Great Dao and drive it?” Gu Hai frowned, pondering the implications.

Long Wanqing stepped forward. “I’ve heard Wanyu say that when one reaches the consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm, the physical body becomes a Dao Body. Because of the Dao Body, one can comprehend the corresponding Great Dao.”

“What is a Dao Body?” Gu Hai asked, seeking clarity.

“I’m not quite sure, either. According to Wanyu, it’s a manifestation of a physical body that aligns with a particular Great Dao,” Long Wanqing explained.

“The same frequency, a resonance?” Gu Hai’s expression changed instantly.

The Great Dao of the world have special vibration frequencies. The Dao Body cultivates the alignment of one’s body with one of these frequencies, forming a resonance and consequently driving the power of a Great Dao?

“This official feels that only when the three spiritual souls have achieved perfection—like Your Reverence’s one-hundred-sixty-three-meter-tall mortal soul, two-hundred-thirteen-meter-tall earthly soul, and two-hundred-seventy-meter-tall heavenly soul—can one truly grasp a Great Dao,” Kong Xuan analyzed.

“That’s called the consummation of the spiritual souls,” Mosquito Daoist stated, his voice carrying a hint of envy.

Gu Hai nodded in agreement. “In that case, you should focus on cultivating. Find a way to reach the consummation of the spiritual souls as soon as possible.”

“Yes!” Kong Xuan responded promptly.

Regardless, Kong Xuan achieving the consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm was a significant boost for the Han Imperial Dynasty. The strength of the Han Imperial Dynasty had grown further.

“Wanqing, I’m sorry for making you wait all these years,” Gu Hai said, holding Long Wanqing’s hand with guilt in his eyes.

“As long as Husband is here, Wanqing’s happy,” Long Wanqing replied softly.

Everyone else turned away, pretending not to notice the reunion of the couple.

“Master, Master, I’m so touched that you came to save me. I want to write a song for you!” Ensnaring Performance exclaimed, disrupting the sentimental reunion.

“Mr. Gu, your cultivation has increased significantly over the years. That’s amazing!” Longevity said eagerly.

“Yes, do you have a method that can enhance our strength as well? And not the kind that requires suffering and hardship,” Purple Subtlety asked urgently.

Gu Hai gave a wry smile. “We’re afraid we will disappoint you. We achieved our advancements at the brink of life and death.”

“Ah!” Purple Subtlety’s face stiffened.

“Brink of life and death? In that case, never mind. I think I’m fine as I am.” Longevity quickly shook his head.

As the Unborn Man flew over, he took a long look at Kong Xuan.

Kong Xuan had reached the consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm. The strength of the Han Imperial Dynasty was growing too rapidly.

“Husband, I heard from Mao Tianyun and Houqing that you fought the Bone Deity?” Long Wanqing asked.

Although there were many intimate things to talk about, Long Wanqing could not bring herself to mention them with so many people around, so she raised a previous topic.

“Yes, he has been eradicated. Oh no!” Gu Hai’s face suddenly sank.

“What’s wrong?” Long Wanqing asked, puzzled.

“Wanyu is in danger. Before we eradicated the Bone Deity, he turned himself into a curse to ask the Six Paths Immortal to come to this flawed immortal firmament,” Gu Hai explained.

“What?” Everyone’s expression changed drastically.

“The Six Paths Immortal? If the Six Paths Immortal arrives and finds Wanyu, he will definitely try to eradicate her. Your Reverence, why didn’t you stop it at the time?!” The Unborn Man blamed Gu Hai in his anxiety.

“You’re blaming him when you stood by and did nothing? If you had acted sooner, we wouldn’t be in this mess,” Long Wanqing angrily chided the Unborn Man.

“Let’s go. We need to get back immediately!” the Unborn Man could only shout in frustration.

Whoosh!

Everyone promptly flew into the distance.

“Master, what about the countless skeletons from earlier?” Ensnaring Performance asked curiously as they flew.

“They are in the Gu’s Immortal Firmament. There’s no need to worry.” Gu Hai shook his head.

“The Gu’s Immortal Firmament?” Ensnaring Performance looked surprised.

Gu Hai did not elaborate. Not long after, everyone arrived at a cloud.

“Wanyu is in there!” Long Wanqing explained.

“Time is tight; we must hurry!” the Unborn Man said anxiously.

“Wait!” Gu Hai suddenly halted everyone.

“What’s wrong?” Everyone turned to Gu Hai in confusion.

“Has there recently been a battle in this vicinity?” Gu Hai asked with a puzzled look.

“No, this place has been peaceful for a long time, and no outsiders have been here!” Long Wanqing answered, equally puzzled.

Gu Hai pointed to several mountains below.

Everyone looked down and saw large patches of charred earth on the mountains, apparently recently scorched.

“Is this Mao Tianyun’s fire?” Purple Subtlety asked, wide-eyed.

“It might be that cursed cat playing with fire,” Ensnaring Performance suggested.

However, Long Wanqing shook her head. “While Mao Tianyun can be somewhat capricious at times, he knows right from wrong, especially when it comes to serious matters. He wouldn’t cause such havoc outside Lady Houtu’s ritual array!”

“You’re saying this fire wasn’t caused by Mao Tianyun?” Gu Hai’s expression darkened.

The Mosquito Daoist waved his hand, and a swarm of mosquitoes surged into the charred land to inspect it.

“Your Reverence, there are traces of Fire Energy in the charred areas. Although the fire has been extinguished, it doesn’t seem to have been out for long,” the Mosquito Daoist reported.

“Did something go wrong inside?” The Unborn Man’s face changed.

Meow! A sudden cat cry came from within the cloud.

“Huh?” Everyone was taken aback.

It was Mao Tianyun who came out of the cloud.

“I started that fire. Is it really that interesting for you all to analyze it? What if I defecate? Will you study that too?” Mao Tianyun said, clearly annoyed.

Everyone’s face stiffened instantly.

The Unborn Man let out a soft, inward sigh.

Long Wanqing also gave a bitter smile, embarrassed about their previous suspicions.

However, Gu Hai’s eyebrows remained furrowed as he cast a puzzled glance at Mao Tianyun.

“The Silken Web Heavenly Demon and the others have been dealt with? That was quite fast!” Mao Tianyun laughed.

“Huh? How did you know it was the Silken Web Heavenly Demon?” Long Wanqing’s brows furrowed.

When Houqing had called Mao Tianyun back earlier, Long Wanqing could tell that Mao Tianyun had been unaware of the Silken Web Heavenly Demon’s ambush. Yet now, Mao Tianyun mentioned it openly?

Mao Tianyun seemed slightly startled, then sneered, “I used my eyes. Did you think I wouldn’t be able to see your recent battlefield, given my strength?”

Only then did Long Wanqing feel relieved, but Gu Hai found Mao Tianyun increasingly strange.

“Let’s go in!” the Unborn Man said.

There was a large ritual array amid the clouds, within which appeared to be an independent space.

Gu Hai saw clearly that this world contained some Go Dao ritual arrays. However, these Go Dao ritual arrays seemed somewhat inferior to his own.

Everyone promptly entered the interior.

Palace halls filled the independent space. There were streams of the power of faith converging from all corners of this world, slowly gathering in the central main palace hall, Heaven Cang Palace.

Numerous guards stood ready at the entrance of Heaven Cang Palace.

“Huh? What’s going on? Weren’t all the guards cultivating in their respective palace halls when I left? Why have they all come out?” Long Wanqing furrowed her brows.

“Long Wanyu came out once when you left. She said she wanted to enter closed-door cultivation, and she was not to be disturbed by anyone. She asked us to guard outside and not let anyone approach!” Mao Tianyun explained.

“What? She’s secluded herself? This isn’t the right time. How can she seclude herself now? I need to see Wanyu!” Long Wanqing became anxious.

The Six Paths Immortal had received the message. Although it was not clear whether he would come, if he did, Long Wanyu would be in trouble.

Whoosh!

However, Mao Tianyun suddenly stood in front of Long Wanqing, blocking her. “Long Wanyu said that no one may disturb her; even if the sky were to fall, no one may approach!”

“I’m her elder sister!” Long Wanqing retorted angrily.

“I’m sorry. We’re just following her orders!” The cat shook its head.

“Step aside!” Long Wanqing glared.

However, at this moment, Houqing stepped forward. “Long Wanqing, although Long Wanyu is your younger sister, she is also Heaven Cang’s reincarnation. Right now, she’s at a critical stage in her cultivation. My elder sister said that anyone approaching would cause irreversible damage to Long Wanyu, so if you care about your younger sister, please join us in protecting her!”

Houqing also blocked the way.

“Irreversible damage? What’s going on? What are Wanyu and Lady Houtu doing inside?” Long Wanqing asked anxiously.

“I’m not sure, but please, trust my elder sister!” Houqing said solemnly.

Momentarily at a loss, Long Wanqing turned to Gu Hai. Calling out Long Wanyu might not be useful. If the Six Paths Immortal came, no one could escape. The Unborn Man also looked at Gu Hai.

Noticing that all the guards were on high alert, Gu Hai frowned slightly before saying in a sullen voice, “Let’s wait, then.”

Everyone nodded.

Although Mao Tianyun and Houqing were on guard against Gu Hai and the others, they did not stop them from settling down in a nearby pavilion shelter.

“I feel like the little cat was acting strange just now,” Purple Subtlety said, perplexed.

“I feel the same. It usually takes every opportunity to be lazy. Why would it block our path?” Longevity agreed, feeling puzzled.

“That damn cat even dared to block my master. Does it know about the relationship between Long Wanyu and my master?” Ensnaring Performance grumbled.

However, Gu Hai kept his gaze on the main hall with narrowed eyes.

“Ensnaring Performance, we sent Mu Chenfeng’s Heaven Blasting Battalion into the nether realm with you back then. Where is Mu Chenfeng’s Heaven Blasting Battalion now?” Gu Hai asked.

“They’re cultivating in that palace hall over there!” Ensnaring Performance pointed to a distant palace.

“Bring them all here!” Gu Hai ordered.

“Yes!” Ensnaring Performance nodded.

Soon, Mu Chenfeng walked over from a distant palace hall.

“Where are the others?” Gu Hai asked, puzzled.

“I don’t know. They weren’t there!” Ensnaring Performance shook his head.

Mu Chenfeng came forward and greeted with some joy, “Salutations, Your Reverence! Long live Your Reverence! May Your Reverence live for ten thousand years!”

The others simply accepted Mu Chenfeng’s greetings, thinking nothing of it. However, Gu Hai’s pupils suddenly contracted, as Mu Chenfeng usually addressed him as “Hall Master”—Elite Hall’s Hall Master, not “Your Reverence”!

This person is not Mu Chenfeng?
