Everlasting Immortal Firmament

Book 08 Chapter 112: The Purpose of the United Rule Meet

Boom! Boom!

Above the blessings cloud sea in the nether realm’s East Spiritual Fire Sea, two loud explosions rang out. Zhu Erer’s and Zhu Liuliu’s incarnations collapsed with deafening reports. The entire East Spiritual Fire Sea was suddenly stunned.

“No, Second Elder Brother, Sixth…!”

Mournful cries echoed in the East Spiritual Fire Sea.

The remaining four Vermilion Bird Primes glared at the blessings cloud sea with anger.

“Who dares to kill Second Elder Brother and Sixth Younger Brother?”

“I will kill them!”

“It must be at the land of the living’s Myriad Age Daoist Sect. I will go and see who dares to harm my brothers!”

…

The angry Vermilion Bird Primes were in an uproar.

“Stop!” A commanding voice rang out.

“Eldest Brother, what’s going on?”

“Stay right here! None of you are allowed to go!” Zhu Yiyi said coldly.

“But what about avenging Sixth Younger Brother and Second Elder Brother?”

“Second Younger Brother and Sixth Younger Brother died only a short time apart, which means they had no chance to resist. Are you going to march to your death? Dying is one thing, but what about our master’s orders?” Zhu Yiyi countered sternly.

“We…!”

“Remember this: our master’s abilities are such that even if you die, he can bring you back to life and then subject you to endless torment, where you’ll beg for life but not find it, and wish for death, but it won’t come!” Zhu Yiyi said coldly.

“We…!”

“All of you stay here obediently. Investigate the situation carefully. Even if Second Younger Brother, Sixth Younger Brother, and Seventh Younger Sister are dead, so what? As long as our master returns, he can save them, even if he has to reverse time and space!” Zhu Yiyi said sternly.

“But…!”

“No buts. This revenge must be exacted, but not now. Stay here and gather information about the world slowly!” Zhu Yiyi said coldly.

“Yes!” His three younger brothers nodded reluctantly.

------

The Myriad Age Daoist Sect, the land of the living:

Whoosh!

A breeze blew, and Zhu Erer’s remains, destroyed by the Divinity Destroying Light, scattered.

That was Zhu Erer! Although Ba’s heavenly eye had severely wounded him earlier, it was far inferior to Essence Genesis’s heavenly eye, which had incinerated him.

Both were heavenly eyes, but Essence Genesis’s was much more powerful.

Of course, only Gu Hai knew the true might of Essence Genesis’s heavenly eye. In the flawed immortal firmament, Essence Genesis had fought the Six Paths Immortal, and their heavenly eyes were nearly evenly matched.

Essence Genesis’s heavenly eye was now close to that of the Six Paths Immortal.

Buzz!

The heavenly eye suddenly closed, and the purple clouds dissipated.

The various faction leaders in Essence Genesis Hall’s plaza did not even dare breathe heavily.

Before coming here, they had considered themselves formidable figures with great qualifications. However, after seeing the experts sitting there, they realized they were not in the same league.

Witnessing Essence Genesis’s strength dispelled any remaining pride they had.

It was better to keep a low profile in the Myriad Age Daoist Sect.

By the time the purple clouds cleared, Essence Genesis had killed two vermilion birds, and he now turned his attention to the five on the seats: Jiangchen, Ming, Ba, Gu Hai, and Bai Zizai!

Although Jiangchen and Ming were astonished by Essence Genesis’s strength, they evinced no fear. Instead, they eyed Essence Genesis thoughtfully.

Ba and Gu Hai, on the other hand, regarded Essence Genesis with gravity.

Bai Zizai took a deep breath, his expression darkening. Clearly, Essence Genesis’s strength had startled him.

Bai Zizai was the White Tiger Prime, on par with the Vermilion Bird Prime. However, the White Tiger Prime was one person, while there were seven Vermilion Bird Primes; one of him equaled seven of them. Therefore, Bai Zizai’s strength was greater than that of Zhu Erer and Zhu Liuliu—but not to the point of being overwhelming, as Essence Genesis’s was.

Essence Genesis’s strength greatly exceeded Bai Zizai’s expectations.

“Welcome to Essence Genesis Hall, everyone!” Essence Genesis addressed the five individuals seated before him.

All five turned their attention to Essence Genesis, awaiting his next words.

After Essence Genesis finished speaking, he closed his eyes, tilted his head up, and took a deep breath as if he were sensing the profound mysteries of the world.

The five seated individuals waited patiently, understanding that Essence Genesis was gathering his emotions, which seemed of great magnitude, requiring some time to surface.

Naturally, the others around did not dare to interrupt Essence Genesis, either.

After fifteen minutes, Essence Genesis opened his eyes.

As his eyes opened, two brilliant golden rays of light shot out, illuminating the world.

He slowly lowered his head, fixing his gaze upon the five individuals. Essence Genesis, at this moment, appeared like a whole other person. He still retained his characteristic coldness but now also exuded ferocity, akin to a sharp blade aimed directly at the hearts of those present.

“I’m sure you’re all curious about why I’ve gathered you here. Well, in fact, the very name, ‘United Rule Meet,’ should give you a hint. It’s about bringing all of you together to unify the world,” Essence Genesis said coldly.

The expressions of those around them abruptly changed upon hearing these words. However, under the overwhelming aura of Essence Genesis, none of the faction leaders dared to interject.

“Unify the world? Why the sudden desire for world domination?” Gu Hai inquired, his tone calm but inquisitive.

Essence Genesis turned his gaze towards Gu Hai and replied, “To kill Heaven.”

“Kill Heaven?” The various faction leaders finally showed a significant change in expression.

“Are you talking about the Six Paths Immortal?” Ba asked gravely.

Essence Genesis looked at Ba and nodded, saying, “Yes, that’s exactly who I mean—the Six Paths Immortal.”

“However, the Six Paths Immortal is elusive, integrated into the fabric of the world. How do you plan to kill him?” Ming asked with curiosity.

“I know where he is hiding. He will return to his peak in two years, but he is currently not at his strongest. I can kill him now,” Essence Genesis responded firmly.

“I recall that not long ago, Long Zhanguo attempted to kill Heaven but ultimately failed. Are you sure you can kill the Six Paths Immortal?” Jiangchen inquired calmly.

“Long Zhanguo’s failure does not mean I will fail. If I didn’t have the capability to kill him, why would I gather all of you?” Essence Genesis said confidently.

“What if you cannot kill the Six Paths Immortal?” Bai Zizai asked, furrowing his brow.

Essence Genesis’ eyes turned cold as he looked at Bai Zizai and replied, “I will kill him.”

There was no ‘what-if.’ Since Essence Genesis had made this decision, he had to proceed without hesitation. He could not hope to get lucky. After all, if he did not kill Heaven, was he to just wait for Heaven to kill him?

“You will kill Heaven to become the Immortal?” Gu Hai asked again.

“Exactly!” Essence Genesis nodded without reservation.

Most of the people present looked at Essence Genesis with some shock. At the same time, they understood the purpose. After all, why kill Heaven if not to become the Immortal? What other reason could there be? So many experts in the world cultivated all their life just so they could eventually become immortal.

Back then, Long Zhanguo opposed Heaven so he could become the Immortal.

Even the Six Paths Veritable Lord killed the previous Heaven back then just so he could become the Immortal.

However, Gu Hai followed up with a question. “Why do you want to be the Immortal?”

Why do you want to be the Immortal?

Most of the people present were momentarily stunned. Gu Hai’s question seemed redundant—why would one need a reason to become the Immortal? One would be supreme in the world, owning everything in the world.

Only Ba, Jiangchen, and Ming looked at Essence Genesis with a curious glint in their eyes. With their elevated status, they viewed things from a broader perspective.

Although Essence Genesis was undeniably powerful, his desire for power and authority did not seem particularly strong. The Myriad Age Daoist Sect had been under the control of Sect Master Heavenly Access for eight hundred thousand years. Why would someone like Essence Genesis, who appeared indifferent to worldly desires, suddenly aspire to become the Immortal?

Essence Genesis unconsciously glanced at Sha and then at Lin Waner behind Gu Hai.

“There’s no reason; I simply want to become the Immortal,” Essence Genesis stated coldly.

The others nodded in agreement as if it were a given. Who would not want to become the Immortal? The ultimate goal of every practitioner was to achieve immortality, after all.

Only Gu Hai and a few others truly understood.

Sha? Lin Waner? These two were the leaders of the Supreme Ascendant and Heavenly Access lines of inheritance within the Myriad Age Daoist Sect.

Essence Genesis’s quest for immortality might be related to Supreme Ascendant and Heavenly Access. Gu Hai remembered Essence Genesis shedding a tear when Heavenly Access died.

Become the Immortal? To use the three thousand laws to resurrect those from the past?

Perhaps Essence Genesis had made this monumental decision during the moment of Supreme Ascendant’s death, resulting in him remaining seated for eight hundred thousand years without moving.

Rumors had it that Supreme Ascendant’s master had passed away long ago. Supreme Ascendant had raised Essence Genesis and Heavenly Access and passed down all his knowledge. Essence Genesis shed tears for Sect Master Heavenly Access’s death; he even slaughtered millions and confronted Ji Dihong. His feelings for Supreme Ascendant had to be even more intense.

Essence Genesis, seemingly the most unfeeling individual, might also be the most emotional.

Gu Hai did not inquire further.

Essence Genesis looked at the five individuals and said, “To kill the Six Paths Immortal, I need the power of the entire world. I need everyone to lend me their strength to help me kill the Six Paths Immortal.”

“Do you mean that we should all drive the power of our blessings and lend it to you?” Jiangchen asked out of curiosity.

“Exactly. The golden dragon coiled around my left arm is Heaven Cang’s form. It can connect to all your blessings cloud seas. When you gather the energy of your people, it can be transmitted to me through the blessings cloud sea. That’s why I’ve informed all the accomplished masters of blessings, which refers to you all. The United Rule Meet is meant to unite the voices of the entire world, with everyone contributing their energy to me. It’s imperative that you do.” Essence Genesis looked at the five coldly.

Essence Genesis paid no attention to the other sovereigns and sect masters present.

The five individuals fell into deep thought.

“What’s the matter? Do you have any concerns?” Essence Genesis asked, his eyes ice-cold.

They exchanged glances, each showing a degree of solemnity. Only Gu Hai appeared somewhat relaxed.

After all, Gu Hai had his own vendetta against the Six Paths Immortal. He had killed the Six Paths Immortal’s clones eight hundred thousand years ago. Moreover, the Long Zhanguo incident would eventually come to light.

Now, Essence Genesis wanted to kill the Six Paths Immortal and was seeking his assistance. Naturally, Gu Hai had no reservations.

“I can agree to this. As long as it’s to kill the Six Paths Immortal, I can drive the power of the Han Heavenly Dynasty and borrow the energy of all the citizens to assist you,” Gu Hai declared in a solemn tone.

“Really?” Essence Genesis’s expression changed as he looked at Gu Hai.

Unexpectedly, Gu Hai was the first to agree.

“As long as the Six Paths Immortal remains alive, the Han Nation will have no peace.” Gu Hai nodded firmly.

Essence Genesis gazed at Gu Hai, and in an instant, his eyes softened.

“Also, I once owed a favor to Supreme Ascendant. There’s one thing I must remind you of. While Supreme Ascendant and Heavenly Access may have fallen, their lines of inheritance still endure. Their spirits live on. I hope that when you go to kill Heaven, you won’t implicate the Myriad Age Daoist Sect. This place is where Supreme Ascendant’s and Heavenly Access’s spirits live on,” Gu Hai added.

Essence Genesis’s brow furrowed as he glanced at Sha and Lin Waner. Finally, he nodded at Gu Hai.
