Book 07 Chapter 118: Exposed
Purple Bamboo Hall:
The White Emperor and the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon stared at the scene in the secret realm immortal firmament. Sha protected Sect Master Heavenly Access while Sect Master Heavenly Access frantically plundered the sword conceptions of ten Sword Deity Six Pathses.
As Sect Master Heavenly Access used the Sword Dao Merger Technique, he gained more familiarity with it and executed it faster.
One…two…three…eight…nine…ten!
Sect Master Heavenly Access proceeded increasingly faster. Soon, he had crippled all ten Sword Deity Six Pathses.
A purple sword light soared into the sky behind Sect Master Heavenly Access. Now, this sword light was even sharper, looking like it could break anything in the world.
At the same time, a strange black symbol appeared on Sect Master Heavenly Access’s forehead—a black swastika.
“He finally plundered all the sword conceptions. His sword Dao must have at least doubled in strength!” The White Emperor narrowed her eyes as she watched.
“Indeed. Now, only Sha remains. Once Sect Master Heavenly Access plunders Sha’s sword conception, his sword Dao will be the strongest in the world!” A ferocious glint flashed in the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon’s eyes.
“Did you add that black talisman character on Sect Master Heavenly Access’s forehead to the Sword Dao Merger Technique?” The White Emperor looked at the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon.
“I did it as a precaution. That is the Soul Destroying Seal,” the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon said coldly.
The White Emperor nodded and said no more.
The Purple Jade Heavenly Demon looked into the ball with anticipation, waiting for Sect Master Heavenly Access to make his move.
Inside, Sha held a bronze sword, apparently having guessed something and secretly making preparations.
Boom!
After Sect Master Heavenly Access plundered the sword conception of the last Sword Deity Six Paths, boundless purple sword qi erupted around him. When the sword qi appeared, they shattered countless mountains and the surrounding ground. The powerful sword conception set Sha’s robes aflutter.
“The Sword Dao Merger Technique? It is indeed powerful! Hah! Hahahaha!” Sect Master Heavenly Access guffawed.
As Sect Master Heavenly Access guffawed, he slowly turned towards Sha.
Sha trembled and raised his guard.
“Sha, why did you not leave?” Sect Master Heavenly Access asked Sha.
“This disciple is a disciple from the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s Heavenly Access line of inheritance. Since Sect Master instructed this disciple to guard you, is there any reason for this disciple to leave?” Sha responded respectfully.
“Are you not afraid that this sect master will plunder your sword conception too?” Sect Master Heavenly Access asked coldly.
Sha frowned slightly as he answered respectfully, “I’m afraid.”
“Oh?” Sect Master Heavenly Access said in surprise.
“Although this disciple fears Sect Master plundering my sword conception, you are the sect master and I am a Myriad Age Daoist Sect disciple. I have to obey the sect master’s commands. Previously, Essence Genesis once set the rule that unless the sect master wants to kill the disciple, we are to obey all of the sect master’s orders,” Sha said respectfully.
Sect Master Heavenly Access’s face sank. “Second Senior Brother? Humph! With First Senior Brother dead, he stopped caring about the Myriad Age Daoist Sect long ago.”
Although Sha kept his guard up against Sect Master Heavenly Access, he remained respectful.
“Don’t worry. I won’t kill you. After all, I owe you my life. I—Heavenly Access—will not kill my savior even though I have no bottom line when I do things,” Sect Master Heavenly Access said indifferently.
“Huh?” Sha felt slightly startled.
What do you mean, owe me your life?
“Sect Master, there is a mark on your forehead. Is it…,” Sha said.
“Oh?” Sect Master Heavenly Access felt slightly bewildered. He waved his hand, and a mirror appeared before him, which showed him the black swastika on his forehead.
“Perhaps it is because of the Sword Dao Merger Technique. This sect master will investigate it in time.” Sect Master Heavenly Access thought little of it.
After speaking, Sect Master Heavenly Access ignored Sha. Instead, he looked at the Taiji Diagram and the Divine Dao Shaman Canon.
However, when he picked up the Divine Dao Shaman Canon, it trembled slightly.
“Huh?” Sect Master Heavenly Access felt slightly confused.
------
Outside, the White Emperor and the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon were startled.
“What is Sect Master Heavenly Access doing? Why is he not plundering Sha’s sword conception?” the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon said with a cold expression.
Although they could not hear Sect Master Heavenly Access and Sha’s conversation, Sect Master Heavenly Access’s not killing Sha spoiled the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon’s plans.
“Hah! It looks like Sect Master Heavenly Access did not do as you expected,” the White Emperor sneered.
“Humph! Sect Master Heavenly Access? What trash! That bastard!” the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon said with cold eyes, feeling depressed.
Just as the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon felt furious, she glanced out of the large hall.
Space trembled slightly outside, showing a faint golden light.
Gu Hai had called the Unborn Man into Purple Bamboo Island. As no one maintained the lifespan ritual array, a minor flaw had appeared, which the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon noticed.
“Hah! How bold! How truly bold! To think someone dares to come and cause trouble on my Purple Bamboo Island?!” The Purple Jade Heavenly Demon’s eyes suddenly turned cold.
Whoosh!
The Purple Jade Heavenly Demon immediately left the Purple Bamboo Hall.
Outside, space strangely flashed with faint golden light. However, it looked calm and peaceful overall.
“What happened?” the White Emperor asked in confusion.
The Purple Jade Heavenly Demon ignored the White Emperor. Instead, she waved her hand.
A berserk wind rose from the ground, blowing at the sky and bringing countless boulders. It even tore space.
Boom!
A thunderous report rang out, and the sky turned blurry. Then, a powerful force compressed a large amount of black energy and pressed it into a clump, which then exploded in the sky.
“Who is it?!” countless experts on the island immediately shouted.
After the loud report, everything happening outside came into view.
Countless black mosquitoes surrounded the entire Purple Bamboo Island. Loud cries rang out as numerous experts and sea creatures desperately rushed towards the island from all directions, causing a loud commotion.
“The ritual array vanished! Purple Bamboo Island Master! Island Master!”
“I see the Purple Bamboo Hall! Island Master, there are bandits attacking us! Island Master, we cannot break past the Mosquito Daoists!”
“Hahaha! The island master discovered the situation. They are dead for sure!”
A clamor came from outside the island.
When the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon waved her hand, she exploded countless black mosquitoes.
All the Mosquito Daoist clones withdrew, leaving only his true body standing in the sky, warily eyeing the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon.
“Hah! There are indeed some reckless fools!”
Boom!
In her fury, the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon unleashed her aura, forcing countless experts back in horror. Her aura kicked up overwhelming waves in the sea around Purple Bamboo Island.
“What a powerful aura!” The Mosquito Daoist’s expression changed dramatically.
To the Mosquito Daoist, this felt the same as when he faced the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon, like confronting a powerful enemy.
------
Purple Bamboo Island:
Gu Hai, the Unborn Man, and Kong Xuan surrounded the golden egg made from Shangguan Hen.
Eating the Southern Sea Dragon King had been insufficient for the golden egg. To think it moved towards Kong Xuan, wanting to eat Kong Xuan.
“Your Reverence?” Kong Xuan’s face sank as he looked at Gu Hai with misgiving.
“Could the Eight Nines Profound Technique have mutated?” Gu Hai’s face sank.
Whoosh!
When the golden egg approached, Kong Xuan immediately moved aside.
“It really mutated? It does not even recognize Kong Xuan anymore?” Gu Hai showed a sullen expression.
As everyone frowned, the Unborn Man suddenly said, “Oh no! Someone found a flaw in the lifespan ritual array!”
“Huh?” Gu Hai turned his head to look.
A powerful suction nearly pulled everyone into the sky. Then, the Unborn Man’s lifespan ritual array exploded.
“The Purple Jade Heavenly Demon discovered it!” Kong Xuan’s expression changed.
High in the sky, the Mosquito Daoist looked like he faced a powerful enemy.
At the side, Ao Sheng sorrowfully put away Ao Shun’s corpse.
“The Purple Jade Heavenly Demon discovered us! Your Reverence, let’s head to the nether realm first!” the Unborn Man said as he waved his hand and opened a passageway to the nether realm.
Before Gu Hai could speak, the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon’s cold laughter suddenly came from the distance.
“Hah! So there are still a few ants here. It is too late to flee to the nether realm!” The Purple Jade Heavenly Demon’s icy voice rang out.
Suddenly, countless purple bamboos erupted from the ground where Gu Hai was. Every cane of bamboo was like a spike, trying to impale everyone.
“Peacock domain!” Kong Xuan shouted.
Surging six-colored divine light enveloped everyone.
Gu Hai also extended his hand to grab the golden egg Shangguan Hen turned into and tossed it into the earlier pill furnace, which he put away.
Boom!
Everyone immediately dodged the bamboos as they soared into the sky.
“Your Reverence!” The Mosquito Daoist immediately approached.
The group stopped in the sky, looking coldly at the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon radiating a powerful aura.
Gu Hai stood in front. Kong Xuan, the Mosquito Daoist, and Ao Sheng showed ferocious expressions while the Unborn Man slipped behind. The Unborn Man clearly did not want to face the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon in battle.
In the distant Purple Bamboo Hall’s plaza, the White Emperor’s expression changed. “Gu Hai again?”
“Oh? Gu Hai?” The Purple Jade Heavenly Demon narrowed her eyes.
As she did, she spread out her senses, and her expression turned cold. “Gu Hai, did you kill Ao Sihai?”
“What?” The expressions of the dragons in the distance changed dramatically.
Prime died?
However, Gu Hai looked at the White Emperor with some shock. Why is the White Emperor here?
“The Southern Sea Dragon King tricked and killed Ao Shun. He deserved death long ago,” Gu Hai said coldly.
“Oh? Tricked and killed Ao Shun? Deserves death? Humph! I was the one who captured Ao Shun and Shangguan Hen. Should I die too?” the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon said coldly.
The Purple Jade Heavenly Demon’s voice was bone-chilling; Kong Xuan’s, the Mosquito Daoist’s, and Ao Sheng’s hair stood on end. The three sensed an intense murderous intent.
This murderous intent was so potent that it even chilled the surroundings. Purple Bamboo Island’s waters froze for five thousand kilometers around.
“Your Reverence, be careful!” Kong Xuan said worriedly as he stepped forward.
How could Gu Hai not be careful before such intense murderous intent? He even activated his heavenly eye, a slit appearing on his forehead. The moment the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon charged forward, he would open his heavenly eye and release a Divinity Destroying Light.
The White Emperor looked at Gu Hai with a slightly complicated expression. Suddenly, she said, “Purple Jade Heavenly Demon, the situation on your Purple Bamboo Island has changed. This humble one will not disturb you any further. Goodbye!”
“Huh? White Emperor, you are leaving? Don’t you want to see me take Gu Hai down? Don’t you want to deal with Gu Hai too?” The Purple Jade Heavenly Demon looked at the White Emperor in bewilderment.
“There’s no need. Goodbye!” The White Emperor shook her head with mixed emotions writ across her face.
After speaking, she ignored the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon’s attempts to retain her, turning around and shooting into the horizon.
The White Emperor’s wanting to kill Gu Hai was in the past. For some reason, after she fought Gu Hai in Three Mountains City, there was a voice in her heart objecting to her actions. Just like now. Although she wanted to kill Gu Hai, that voice upset her tremendously, making her reluctant to see Gu Hai dead.
The White Emperor knew it was her earthly soul resisting.
Since there is resistance, I should leave lest I do something I should not.
“Humph! Indecisive! No wonder you accomplished nothing,” the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon sneered as she watched the White Emperor leave.
Then, the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon turned back to Gu Hai with a ferocious expression.
