In a forest east of the Myriad Age Daoist Sect:
Lin Waner woke up with a slight headache, feeling groggy. However, she quickly ca to her senses.
“Don’t!” Lin Waner sat up in alarm.
However, she found that she was no longer in the Myriad Age Daoist Sect. Instead, she saw Gu Hai operating a Go Dao ritual array by a nearby lake.
“Gu Hai?” Lin Waner felt stunned, rembering what had happened earlier.
Gu Hai had appeared at the last mont. That was not a dream? It was really Gu Hai?
Lin Waner’s eyes turned red.
At the nearby lake:
Since there were no Go Dao laws in the world, there was no way to use the Life Trapper Saber to lay a ritual array. Gu Hai had to use countless enchanted treasures and spirit stones to lay a ritual array, manifesting a fog to cover the entire lake.
Buzz!
As Gu Hai operated the ritual array, a spatial tunnel suddenly appeared above the fog.
“It’s not working? There’s no way to summon more people?” Gu Hai said with an unsightly expression.
This Go Dao ritual array created a spatial tunnel to the Sa’s Immortal Firmant. Previously, Sun Wukong and the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access arrived via this spatial tunnel. Now, Gu Hai could not summon any more people, unable to connect to the Sa’s Immortal Firmant.
“The Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access already died. How am I to send soone back?” Gu Hai frowned.
Gu Hai extended his hand and captured a large fish, which he tossed into the spatial tunnel.
Boom!
The spatial tunnel shredded the fish the mont it entered.
Clearly, using a fish to substitute for the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access does not work.
I cannot summon more people?
Gu Hai showed an unsightly expression. Just then, Lin Waner woke up and shouted, “Don’t!”
Whoosh!
Gu Hai pulled his hand back, and the entire ritual array collapsed; he dismissed the ritual array.
Gu Hai turned his head to look at the nearby Lin Waner, whose face was wet with tears. He imdiately walked over.
“Waner, you are awake?” Gu Hai said gently.
Lin Waner stared at Gu Hai with an aggrieved look in her eyes.
“I’m here. Don’t worry and return with ,” Gu Hai said gently as he held Lin Waner’s hands.
“You scoundrel!” Lin Waner suddenly started crying loudly.
However, Gu Hai hugged Lin Waner tight in one quick movent.

Borderless Heavenly Capital, Han Imperial Dynasty:
Mo Yike had returned too. Only Gu Hai had not returned, making the officials anxious.
Mo Yike was wise and intelligent. Although Chen Tianshan took charge, he still considered Mo Yike’s opinion in many matters.
Mo Yike and Chen Tianshan drank tea while chatting in a large hall.
“Crown Prince Gu Qin returned, and he did not try to vie for authority?” Mo Yike looked at Chen Tianshan as he took a sip of tea.
Chen Tianshan nodded.
“The crown prince thought hard about this. He feared causing an internal conflict. After all, he had represented the Heavenly Go Pavilion to challenge us previously,” Mo Yike said with a smile.
“Lord Mo, is His Highness…?” Chen Tianshan looked at Mo Yike.
“Don’t worry. His Reverence personally told His Highness has recovered. His not wanting to take over the nation, for now, is the best scenario. Just continue holding down the fort until His Reverence returns and restores the crown prince’s authority,” Mo Yike advised seriously.
“Alright. However, there has not been any news of His Reverence so far.” Chen Tianshan frowned.
“It is not like you are unaware of His Reverence’s capabilities. The blessings’ return is already sufficient. Perhaps he got delayed by sothing.” Mo Yike shook his head after sipping so tea.
Just at this mont, ng Tai rushed over.
“Duke, Lord Mo? It’s great that you are here. The Yan Heavenly Dynasty’s Princess Jingwei is asking His Reverence for help,” ng Tai reported with a frown.
“Oh?” the two replied in shock.
ng Tai took out a zither puppet and used it to replay Jingwei’s call for help.
“Asking His Reverence for help? Boundless lifespan?” Mo Yike narrowed his eyes.
“Lord Mo, could it be a trap?” Chen Tianshan frowned.
“His Reverence definitely needs lifespan. This matter is of grave importance. It does not matter whether it is a trap or not; it is not sothing we can decide. Just wait for His Reverence to decide,” Mo Yike said with a frown.
“Alright!” Everyone nodded.
An official rushed over. “Milord, there is word from His Reverence’s zither puppet!”
Everyone imdiately stood up.
Soon, they were in communication with Gu Hai via a zither puppet in a palace hall despite the enormous distance separating them.
------
A forest in the south of the Divine Continent:
Boom!
A vast amount of sword qi swept through the forest, shredding and killing everything they encountered.
“Gu Hai, I know you are here. Co out!” Sect Master Heavenly Access snorted coldly in the air as he searched the surroundings.
In a nearby river:
Gu Hai and Lin Waner quietly left the area, flowing with the current and going far away.
When they entered the forest, they continued fleeing stealthily.
They finally shook off Sect Master Heavenly Access after several days of hiding.
“What’s going on? Sect Master Heavenly Access already found us twice?” Gu Hai frowned heavily.
“It is all my fault.” Lin Waner blad herself.
“What’s wrong?”
“I cultivate the emotionless Supre Ascendant, one of the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s lines of inheritance. Sect Master Heavenly Access finds us by following the Supre Ascendant’s aura. Although he cannot determine my exact position, he picks up a rough direction.” Lin Waner continued blaming herself.
“Oh? The Supre Ascendant’s aura? How about you enter my immortal firmant?” Gu Hai asked.
“It’s useless. This is a thod that Essence Genesis invented after Sect Master Supre Ascendant died eight hundred thousand years ago. He can sense my position even in the void. How about you leave ? Just ignore !” Lin Waner suggested with a bitter smile.
“Hah! You must be joking!” Gu Hai felt tickled by this.
Leave Lin Waner behind? How could that be possible?
“Alright. There’s no need to bla yourself. If he is chasing us, so be it. I will make sure he never catches us.” Gu Hai smiled.
“But—”
“No buts. Rember this: now that I have grabbed hold of you, you are never to leave again!” Gu Hai said sternly.
“Alright.” Although Lin Waner appeared reluctant, her heart lted.
“Are we returning to your Han Nation?” Lin Waner asked.
“Our Han Nation,” Gu Hai imdiately corrected.
“Alright,” Lin Waner said while pouting.
Gu Hai shook his head. “We are not returning for now. Sect Master Heavenly Access will have his guard up against us. It would be easy to expose ourselves if we headed north. Furthermore, Sect Master Heavenly Access is too strong. If he goes crazy, my Han Nation citizens will suffer, so we should not return for now.”
“Where are we going, then?”
“Didn’t I contact Borderless Heavenly Capital yesterday? We are going to Divine Farr City,” Gu Hai said seriously.
“The Yan Heavenly Dynasty’s Divine Farr City?” Lin Waner frowned slightly.
Gu Hai nodded. “Although Jiang Lianshan has died, none of those connected to him are easy to deal with, not even his daughter. Haha! His eldest daughter, Ba, is the hanba zombies’ ancestor. To think his younger daughter ca to for help. She is probably extraordinary too. We are going to et her.”
Lin Waner nodded. “I have read records concerning Jingwei before.”
When you're just trying to make great content at tinyurl/37k7u89t.
“Oh?”
“She is Jiang Lianshan’s younger daughter. Initially, she was called Nuwa. Jiang Lianshan was too busy running the nation and had no ti to accompany Nuwa, so she would sneak out to have fun. Once, she went boating in the Eastern Sea alone. It was a calm and pleasant day, but strong winds and heavy rain suddenly arose. The waves soared high, capsizing her small boat. As a result, she fell into the sea and drowned. After Jiang Lianshan found out, he grieved greatly, slaughtering all the animal spirits in that sea region. However, Nuwa could not co back to life. Her corpse sank into the sea and vanished. Her souls ca out and turned into a strange bird. At first, that bird’s cries sounded like ‘Jingwei! Jingwei!’ Later on, it started carrying rocks to fill the sea every day. At that ti, rumors of Jingwei filling the sea spread. Later on, Jiang Lianshan found her and restored her mories. Perhaps he felt guilty, or there was so other reason, but he treasured her greatly from then on. However, her corpse was gone. Only her souls turned into Jingwei,” Lin Waner recalled.
“Jingwei filling the sea?” Gu Hai smiled bitterly.
I have heard this story on Earth before. Perhaps Jingwei is an incredible character? After all, she had the sa fate in the developnt of two immortal firmants.
“Of course, this is only a legend. I do not know whether it is true or false.” Lin Waner shook her head.
“It does not matter whether it is true or false. Let’s go and et her,” Gu Hai said seriously.
Lin Waner nodded.
The two headed for the Yan Heavenly Dynasty while avoiding Sect Master Heavenly Access’s pursuit.
As Sect Master Heavenly Access gave chase, he frowned slightly. “Oh? To think Gu Hai is not returning to Borderless Heavenly Capital? Hah! Go on and hide. Let’s see how long you can hide. Humph!”
------
Gu Hai and Lin Waner avoided Sect Master Heavenly Access’s pursuit for three months while heading for Divine Farr City.
As they had parted for a long ti, their fondness for each other flourished. They coital cultivated along the way with the Worldly Sorrowful Endownt, resulting in Lin Waner’s cultivation skyrocketing.
When they reached Divine Farr City’s territory, Lin Waner’s cultivation had already reached the peak of the Middle Heavenly Palace Realm. Although her cultivation was equal to Gu Hai’s, she was much weaker than him.
The two sneaked into Divine Farr City and arrived at the residence of a Han Nation’s Embroidered Uniform Guard scout.
In a large hall, a few Embroidered Uniform Guards kowtowed excitedly in salute. “This insignificant official salutes Your Reverence!”
These were all spies that ng Tai had picked out of the elites, chosen for their fanatical devotion to Gu Hai. They all felt extrely excited when Gu Hai arrived in person.
“This is all the information you collected recently?” Gu Hai asked, feeling bewildered.
One of the Embroidered Uniform Guards said, “Yes. When news of Jiang Lianshan’s death spread, the Yan Heavenly Dynasty fell into chaos. The Scarlet Emperor, the White Emperor, Jiang Gautama, and Ji Dihong sent soldiers to suppress all chaos, rebellions, and invitations, maintaining the Yan Heavenly Dynasty’s territory. Despite the strong pressure, the Yan Heavenly Dynasty has maintained its original state. Princess Jingwei took charge, and she will formally succeed the throne tomorrow.”
“Oh? Jiang Gautama and Ji Dihong are recomnding Jingwei to succeed the throne? Hah! Since when have those two been so kind?” Gu Hai narrowed his eyes slightly.
“We do not know.”
The Embroidered Uniform Guards not knowing was perfectly normal. After all, Jiang Gautama and Ji Dihong were deep schers. How could everyone know?
“Did the Fla Monarch seek you out?” Gu Hai asked.
“Yes! The Fla Monarch found one of our branches three months ago and asked us to send a ssage back to the capital,” an Embroidered Uniform Guard answered respectfully.
“Go inform the Fla Monarch that we are here. We want to et Jingwei,” Gu Hai instructed.
“Yes!”
