Book 6: Chapter 085: Imminent Death
“Oh?” The peacocks felt slightly startled.
Phew! The tal Buddha inwardly released his bated breath.
He had worried that Gu Hai would kick him while he was down.
The tal Buddha did not worry about the peacock race attacking him. However, he could not bear the resentnt they felt. As he looked at Gu Hai, he unconsciously felt so gratitude.
“Your Reverence, this subject would like to give the old pri a send-off first!” Kong Xuan requested earnestly.
Gu Hai nodded.
The group flew to the Peacock Deity Hall’s entrance.
“Pri!”
“Salutations, Pri!”
“Pri!”
When the peacocks collecting the bodies saw Kong Xuan fly over, they saluted respectfully.
After what they had just experienced, all the peacocks on Peacock Deity Island acknowledged Kong Xuan. If not for him, it would have been over for the peacock race.
The five severely injured elders made so arrangents, then followed Kong Xuan back to the Peacock Deity Hall.
The old pri’s eyes remained open.
“Pri!” The elders again wept as they bowed.
Although the elders acknowledged Kong Xuan, no one could erase the old pri’s prestige.
“Amitābha!” the tal Buddha suddenly said.
After that, the tal Buddha sat down cross-legged and started chanting the scriptures.
“The Sending Scripture? The tal Buddha is granting the old pri release!” The peacocks looked at the tal Buddha in gratitude.
Kong Xuan approached and gently touched the old pri’s eyelids, closing the old pri’s eyes.
“The peacock race has now. You can rest in peace!” Kong Xuan said gravely.
Buzz!
As the tal Buddha chanted, golden light poured towards the old pri’s body from his mouth. Then, a translucent blue figure slowly erged from the old pri’s corpse.
“Mortal soul?” Gu Hai frowned slightly.
After one died, the mortal soul remained in the corpse or the grave.
Now, the old pri’s mortal soul appeared.
“Pri!” Countless peacocks imdiately knelt in excitent.
The old pri looked at Kong Xuan with gratitude in his eyes. Then, he bowed gravely to Kong Xuan.
“You can’t!” Kong Xuan frowned.
“You are worthy of this bow. This old man let the Supre Singularity go in the past. Unexpectedly, the Supre Singularity would return to destroy my peacock race. If not for you, my peacock race would have… Fortunately, you were around!” The old pri bowed sincerely in gratitude.
Kong Xuan frowned. Then, he sighed softly as he eventually nodded.
“All peacocks, listen up. From today on, Kong Xuan is the pri. You have to listen to his commands. Do not go against him! The peacock race’s calamity has only just begun. You should not have any thoughts of leaving or overthrowing him!” the old pri instructed.
“Yes!” the many peacocks answered.
Who would think of leaving or betrayal now? All of them acknowledged Kong Xuan to the fullest.
“Old pri, I have sothing I’ve been wanting to ask. I wonder…,” Kong Xuan suddenly said while frowning.
“Speak!” The old pri’s mortal soul looked at Kong Xuan.
“I heard that a super peacock deity appears in the peacock race every ten thousand years. The super peacock deity is apparently very powerful and can even tear open the cycle of reincarnation?” Kong Xuan said doubtfully.
The old pri looked at Kong Xuan and nodded. “This is true. However, I believe that with your strength, you should be able to reach the level of a supre peacock deity just by studying the peacock deity.”
“Oh? Studying the peacock deity? However, we do not have much ti. The Six Paths Veritable Lord is about to kill Heaven. Is there any faster way?” Kong Xuan asked worriedly.
At the side, the tal Buddha gaped. “Kong Xuan? Don’t talk nonsense. How could the Six Paths Veritable Lord kill Heaven?”
“Monk, you still don’t believe ?” Gu Hai frowned.
“It is arrant nonsense!” The tal Buddha glared.
“tal Buddha, I believe it,” the old pri’s mortal soul sighed.
“Ah! What? How could you believe it? Who is the Six Paths Veritable Lord? How could he do sothing so disgraceful?” The tal Buddha still refused to believe.
“Previously, I spent so of my lifespan to send the peacock deity to et Fuxi. Fuxi verified that my peacock race would suffer this calamity today. He also said that the world would suffer from a great calamity,” the old pri’s mortal soul sighed.
“That’s impossible! How can it be possible?!” The tal Buddha finally wavered.
The tal Buddha revered the Six Paths Veritable Lord. However, he revered the peacock race’s old pri even more, as the Peacock Pri had once saved the tal Temple. The tal Buddha refused to take Gu Hai’s word for it, but seeing the old pri so certain, he felt flustered and panicked.
“Old pri, ti is limited. Do you know how to turn into the super peacock deity?” Kong Xuan frowned.
The old pri shook his head. “Every peacock has different comprehensions. My experience is useless to you; it might even mislead you. However, I have sealed so energy in the peacock deity. You should have noticed it already. That energy can help you rip open one path of reincarnation.”
“Oh?” Kong Xuan’s expression changed.
“As for which one it is, you decide for yourself,” the old pri sighed.
“Old pri, may I ask if you have picked a burial site?” Gu Hai asked.
“Oh? Are you the Han Imperial Emperor whom Kong Xuan spoke of? Many thanks for earlier!” The old pri suddenly bowed to Gu Hai.
“Old pri, there’s no need for this!” Gu Hai imdiately helped up the old pri.
“You asked about my burial site. What are you planning?” the old pri asked, bewildered.
“Although Kong Xuan has saved the peacock race for now, the peacock race’s calamity might not be over yet. Its survival might even anger the Six Paths Veritable Lord. I have a plan to save the peacock race. We move all your people into my immortal firmant!” Gu Hai said seriously.
“Oh?” The pupils of the old pri’s mortal soul suddenly constricted.
Immortal firmant?
The tal Buddha’s expression changed. This ans Gu Hai did not use his full strength previously when fighting with ? Otherwise, he could have pulled into his immortal firmant, and I would have…
However, the old pri remained silent.
After all, the Six Paths Veritable Lord wanted to kill Gu Hai. What if Gu Hai died?
Gu Hai did not rush but waited patiently. After a while, the old pri nodded. “Alright!”
“Don’t worry. I will do my best to protect them. If I end up falling to the Six Paths Veritable Lord, I will release them back into the Divine Continent before I die,” Gu Hai said seriously.
“Many thanks, Imperial Emperor Gu!” The old pri bowed gratefully.
“In that case, I will pick a bountiful land in my immortal firmant for your burial site!” Gu Hai said seriously.
“Thank you for the effort!” The old pri’s mortal soul nodded.
Perhaps the manifestation weakened the old pri’s mortal soul, but the mortal soul imdiately vanished after that.
“Quickly summon as many peacocks as you can. After tomorrow…,” Gu Hai said.
Kong Xuan’s pupils constricted. “Tomorrow is the tenth day?”
Gu Hai took a deep breath and nodded. Then, he walked out of the Peacock Deity Hall and looked at the sky.
Kong Xuan followed Gu Hai out. The tal Buddha remained in the hall, chanting the scriptures.
“We have already sensed two of the Six Paths Veritable Lord clones. Hah! The Six Paths Veritable Lord will locate us tomorrow!” Gu Hai smiled bitterly.
“Your Reverence, don’t you have an immortal firmant? Can’t you hide in there and wait for the right ti?” Kong Xuan asked worriedly.
“The Six Paths Veritable Lord also has an immortal firmant. Have you forgotten? I can’t hide from him. He can sense the location of the immortal firmant and might even rip it apart,” Gu Hai said.
“Then…,” Kong Xuan said worriedly.
“If we have to fight, so be it. This is the world from eight hundred thousand years before. The Go Dao laws still exist!” A murderous intent flashed on Gu Hai’s face.
“Yes!” Kong Xuan answered.
“Although the world is vast, the Six Paths Veritable Lord definitely can travel anywhere in an instant, given his strength. We need to end the battle quickly and kill one clone before the others arrive,” Gu Hai said with a sullen expression.
“The Six Paths Veritable Lord should be a Go Dao expert too. Otherwise, he could not face Old Mister Guan Qi in Go.” Kong Xuan frowned.
“I heard earlier that you could rip open a path of reincarnation?” Gu Hai looked at Kong Xuan.
“Yes. Which path of reincarnation does Your Reverence need to enter?”
“We will return to the eighteen layers of hell and wait for the Six Paths Veritable Lord there!” Gu Hai said.
“Yes! This subject will imdiately enter closed-door cultivation to figure out how to rip open the path of reincarnation!” Kong Xuan answered thoughtfully.
Gu Hai nodded.
The ti in the eighteen layers of hell did not match the Divine Continent’s ti. Only by taking action there could he prevent the other Six Paths Veritable Lord clones from interfering.
After Kong Xuan issued so commands to the peacock race, he entered closed-door cultivation.
Then, Gu Hai worked on sensing the two Six Paths Veritable Lord clones.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, reaching Gu Hai in the blink of an eye.
“Who is it?!” The peacocks imdiately raised their guard.
“It’s fine! Go about your business!” Gu Hai said, waving his hand.
The surrounding peacocks looked at Gu Hai, then nodded and left.
“Sect Master Heavenly Access, to think that you found ?” So surprise flashed in Gu Hai’s eyes.
The new arrival was naturally the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access.
“Previously, I used a Severed Sect’s secret technique on you. That made it easy for to find you. The Six Paths Veritable Lord will co for you tomorrow. I worry that you can’t deal with him alone if I do not help you.” Sect Master Heavenly Access smiled.
“Many thanks, Sect Master Heavenly Access!” Gu Hai said in gratitude.
“I visited the Myriad Age Daoist Sect and the Spirit Mountain Sect over the past few days,” Sect Master Heavenly Access said.
“Oh?”
“The Spirit Mountain Sect and the Myriad Age Daoist Sect chose to submit to the Six Paths Veritable Lord,” Sect Master Heavenly Access said.
“They defected?” Gu Hai’s face sank.
——
Solar Divine Palace:
The Supre Singularity returned in a sorry state. A colossal bell hung above a massive barrier. That was the Primal Chaos Bell.
Dong!
The Supre Singularity waved his hand, and the Primal Chaos Bell rang. All the animal spirits in the surroundings quickly gathered.
“Master, why are you back alone? Where’s the Supre Genesis?” so animal spirits asked in shock.
However, the Supre Singularity showed a ferocious expression. “Kong Xuan? Kong Xuan? Where did this Kong Xuan co from? I must kill you!”
The Supre Singularity ignored his subordinates. He grabbed the Primal Chaos Bell, intending to return to the Peacock Sea.
“Kong Xuan? Master, is it this Kong Xuan?” One of the Supre Singularity’s subordinates imdiately handed over a portrait.
“Huh?” The Supre Singularity’s pupils constricted as he asked in shock, “Why do you have Kong Xuan’s portrait?
“It is not just Kong Xuan. There are these too. The Six Paths Veritable Lord put a bounty on them. They are all the Six Paths Veritable Lord’s enemies!” The Supre Singularity’s subordinates imdiately took out various portraits.
“Oh?” The Supre Singularity’s expression changed as he recognized Gu Hai from among the portraits.
The subordinates explained the bounty.
“The Six Paths Veritable Lord? This is great! Hahahaha! Kong Xuan? Gu Hai? You are dead now! I will contact the Six Paths Veritable Lord and send you all to death! Hah!” the Supre Singularity roared ferociously.
