Book 5: Chapter 202: In the Heavenly Realm

Far away, Ao Shun and the others felt slightly startled.

“While His Holy Eminence is fighting the Six Paths Immortal, Jiang Lianshan is responsible for blocking the others?” Ao Shun said in shock.

“Can Jiang Lianshan block Sect Master Heavenly Access and the Three Lives Buddhas?” Meng Tai asked, frowning.

“I don’t know. However, His Holy Eminence thinks very highly of Jiang Lianshan. He should have some incredible means at his disposal!” Ao Shun replied, also frowning.

Far away, Sect Master Heavenly Access narrowed his eyes, radiating an overwhelming murderous intent.

The Present Buddha stepped forward. Buddhist chanting rang out around him as he looked coldly at Jiang Lianshan.

Jiang Lianshan blocked the two factions. Although he showed a faint smile, determination shone in his eyes. He emanated a sharp aura, forcing back the two factions.

Boom!

Just as the three factions were in a deadlock, a gust of yellow wind blew over from the west. Then, a figure stopped in front of everyone. It was a man wearing yellow imperial robes. This man looked handsome, radiating a heroic air. His eyes contained a trace of arrogance.

“The Huang Heavenly Emperor, Ji Dihong?” Sect Master Heavenly Access said with a cold expression.

The Three Lives Buddhas raised their guard against the Huang Heavenly Emperor, who had suddenly arrived.

Even Jiang Lianshan narrowed his eyes, looking coldly at Ji Dihong.

“Everyone is here?” Ji Dihong said with a soft laugh.

Suddenly, Ji Dihong turned to Jiang Lianshan and bowed slightly. “Ji Dihong greets the Yan Heavenly Emperor!”

Ji Dihong was previously the Yan Heavenly Dynasty’s Yellow Emperor. Although he had started his own heavenly dynasty, he was still polite to Jiang Lianshan outside of his nation.

“Why are you here?” Jiang Lianshan asked.

“The same as everyone, to watch Heaven fight!” Ji Dihong replied with a smile.

“Watch Heaven fight? Does this mean you intend to stop us from entering the Heavenly Realm, like the Yan Heavenly Emperor?” the Future Buddha asked, his face sinking.

“Future Buddha, what’s wrong? Do you want to enter? If you want to enter, then go on. We will just follow behind you,” Ji Dihong countered with a smile.

The Future Buddha felt slightly startled. The Present Buddha’s face also sank.

Although Ji Dihong did not say that he would stop them, his declaration that he would follow behind the Future Buddha unsettled them. Although he did not say outright that he would stop them, his stance was clear: he was aiding Jiang Lianshan.

Jiang Lianshan looked at Ji Dihong with a complicated expression.

“Hahahaha! Speaking of which, this sect master would also like to see how big the difference between Long Zhanguo and the Supreme Singularity is!” Sect Master Heavenly Access suddenly laughed.

“Huh?” Everyone looked at Sect Master Heavenly Access.

Then, they saw Sect Master Heavenly Access wave his hand.

Boom!

Suddenly, a sword-shaped mountain rose from under his feet.

Sect Master Heavenly Access simply stood on the summit, no longer making to enter the Heavenly Realm.

Ji Dihong looked at Sect Master Heavenly Access. “If Sect Master Heavenly Access is that interested, we will accompany you.”

Sect Master Heavenly Access looked back at Ji Dihong with a complicated expression, then snorted coldly and ignored him.

Ji Dihong smiled faintly and went to another mountaintop, watching the Heavenly Realm’s entrance.

Jiang Lianshan looked at the Three Lives Buddhas.

The Present Buddha pressed his palms together.

Buzz!

Suddenly, three golden lotuses appeared under the Three Lives Buddhas.

The Three Lives Buddhas stood on the golden lotuses, no longer intending to enter the Heavenly Realm.

“Many thanks, everyone!” Jiang Lianshan said seriously.

They glanced at Jiang Lianshan, then ignored him.

Jiang Lianshan stood upright with his hands behind his back and looked at the Heavenly Realm’s entrance in the distance.

Rumble…!

The Heavenly Realm’s entrance dwindled until it completely disappeared.

“The Heavenly Realm’s entrance is closed. Everyone, sorry for this!” Jiang Lianshan let out his bated breath; he had completed his end of his arrangement with Long Zhanguo.

Although the Heavenly Realm’s entrance had closed, none of the experts from the various factions left. They continued standing there, waiting.

The eyelids of Meng Tai and the others twitched, but they did not dare to say anything.

Lu Ya City continued flying away. Bing Ji seemed to be trying to hide from something.

At this moment, the nearby Ji Dihong suddenly turned his head and looked over.

“Bing Ji?” Ji Dihong called out.

Bing Ji’s expression changed as she turned her head. She greeted respectfully with a slightly stiff face, “Salutations, Huang Heavenly Emperor!”

“You looked very similar to your mother,” Ji Dihong said with a frown.

Bing Ji bit her lips, not daring to reply.

“Going by our relationship, you should be addressing us as Grandfather, right?” Ji Dihong looked at Bing Ji.

[TL Note: The word for grandfather here refers to a maternal grandfather.]

Bing Ji’s expression turned stiffer as she lowered her head. “Bing Ji does not dare claim such a connection.”

“Our blood flows in your body. Emperor Kong already reported it to us after the Ten Thousand Sages Convention. I have been wanting to bring you back but could not find an opportunity. Come over. Return with us after this is over,” Ji Dihong said.

Bing Ji’s expression was utterly stiff by now.

“Huang Heavenly Emperor, this humble one is a Han Royal Dynasty corps commander. I do not dare claim a connection to the Huang Heavenly Dynasty. Huang Heavenly Emperor, please let me go!” Bing Ji said respectfully.

“How can those of our bloodline be an official of a royal dynasty? Come over immediately. Otherwise, we will level this insignificant royal dynasty first and help you make the decision!” Ji Dihong said seriously.

Bing Ji’s expression turned stiff, appearing bitter.

“Lady Bing Ji!” Meng Tai called out anxiously.

Bing Ji showed a faint, bitter smile. “Lord Meng, go back first. It looks like I cannot return for now. Please beg for forgiveness on my behalf when His Majesty returns. This official has troubled His Majesty.”

Meng Tai showed a faint, bitter smile, but he could not stop this. He could not afford to offend Ji Dihong.

“Lady Bing Ji, take care!” Meng Tai said gravely.

Bing Ji nodded helplessly and flew towards Ji Dihong.

After reaching him, Bing Ji greeted him respectfully, “Salutations, Huang Heavenly Emperor!”

“You are our granddaughter. From today on, you are the Huang Heavenly Dynasty’s Princess Bing!” Ji Dihong said seriously.

[TL Note: The term for granddaughter here is specific to a daughter’s daughter.]

“Yes!” Bing Ji nodded helplessly.

In a forest far from the fusang tree:

Wearing black robes, Chang Ming stood in the depths of a dark valley. He watched coldly as the distant Heavenly Realm’s entrance gradually closed. A group of black-robed subordinates stood respectfully behind him.

There was a zither puppet to the side.

“Contact the Blood Uniform Guard’s envoy commander, Chang Ming. Chang Ming, receive this decree. We know that you have the Primal Essence Pearl. The Blood Uniform Guards are to attack at full force immediately. Kill all the angels; do not spare anyone. At the same time, collect Crown Prince Gu Qin’s corpse from Heaven City.”

The zither puppet repeated Gu Hai’s order.

Chang Ming looked at the zither puppet and bowed respectfully. “This official, Chang Ming, receives the decree!”

Chang Ming put away the zither puppet with a wave of his hand. Then, he looked at the subordinates behind him.

“Previously, you followed His Majesty and me into the Asura Path Secret Realm and received a great boon! Did you hear His Majesty’s order?!” Chang Ming said coldly.

“The angels have twenty-four cities. Every commander of ten thousand will lead their own troops and pick a city. Slaughter all the angels at the fastest speed. We will not listen to any complaints. You only need to know that you can just send your head back if you fail in your mission!” Chang Ming coldly eyed his subordinates.

“Yes!” the group of black-robed men answered.

Screech! Screech! Screech! Screech!

Bat screeches rang out as Chang Ming and his subordinates turned into bats and took to the sky, flying in all directions.

At the Heavenly Realm’s entrance:

If Long Zhanguo died, the Six Paths Immortal would definitely blame Gu Hai too. After all, he had helped Long Zhanguo to find three path of reincarnation secret realms. Although he knew that he could not help Long Zhanguo in the battle, he still headed towards the Heavenly Realm. Furthermore, Gu Qin’s death had filled Gu Hai’s heart with fury.

The Supreme Genesis?

Although Gu Hai’s cultivation was far inferior to the Supreme Genesis’s, so what? Imperial Emperor Xi Yu had still died at his hands. The Azure Emperor still died at his hands.

Even if the two were weak, they would not be much weaker than the Supreme Genesis, right?

Gu Hai firmly believed that as long as he could find the Supreme Genesis’s weak spot, he could still kill the Supreme Genesis, even as a peak Lower Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator.

Gu Hai pursued justice with no second thoughts, charging into the Heavenly Realm.

After entering the Heavenly Realm, Gu Hai immediately encountered a vast fog. He felt some discomfort but did not know what the problem was.

“Gu Hai!” There seemed to be a woman calling for him behind.

“Huh?” Gu Hai turned his head.

Although Gu Hai could not see the figure through the fog, he could make out that it was Zang Yulian’s voice.

“Here!” Gu Hai called out.

Whoosh!

Zang Yulian approached quickly.

The two could barely see each other in the fog. Zang Yulian showed a complicated expression as she looked at Gu Hai.

“Are you following me?” Gu Hai asked, his face sinking.

“Tell me, what is the secret behind the Supreme Ascendant Longevity Piece?!” Zang Yulian said anxiously.

“Are you crazy? Do you know where this is? You chased me all the way here for the Supreme Ascendant Longevity Piece’s secret?” Gu Hai said with a glare.

“I can’t leave it! I have been studying the Supreme Ascendant Longevity Piece all my life. When the previous-generation Supreme Ascendant passed it on to me, I swore to discover the secret. However, only you know the secret. I beg you, tell me the secret!” Zang Yulian pleaded sincerely.

Gu Hai’s heart turned soft at her earnest appeal. “Quickly go out. I’ll tell you when I come out. It is too dangerous here!”

However, Zang Yulian shook her head.

Gu Hai’s face sank. How could he spare the effort to explain it to Zang Yulian at this moment?

“So be it, then. Just follow me. If Long Zhanguo dies, do not stand near me,” Gu Hai said with a sigh.

Zang Yulian nodded.

Whoosh!

The two continued flying through the fog. After a while, they finally got out.

Whoosh!

The two appeared in a forest. The instant they did, heavenly might pressed down on them. The vast aura seemed to crush the two.

Wide-eyed, Zang Yulian exclaimed, “Why—”

However, Zang Yulian only just shouted one word when Gu Hai covered her mouth and tucked her in his embrace, hiding in the undergrowth.

“Umm! Umm! Umm!” Zang Yulian tried to shout but could not make any noise.

“Be quiet,” Gu Hai said softly.

Zang Yulian finally stopped trying to shout and goggled as she looked ahead.

The heavenly court’s thirty-three cities floated in the distance. At that moment, the sky showed a scene that stunned Gu Hai.

Eyes. Heaven’s eyes. Gu Hai had seen them at the Ten Thousand Sages Convention.

Right now, the sky was filled with eyes—ten thousand eyes, so many that they overlapped. They spread out and filled every spot in the sky. They looked down from above, gazing coldly at the thirty-three cities below.

At this moment, the heavenly court’s thirty-three cities appeared incredibly insignificant. These eyes seemed to carry a supreme authority. When Gu Hai saw them, his heart felt a chill.
