Book 6: Chapter 101: Three Fallen Six Paths Veritable Lords

“Killed a Six Paths Veritable Lord? You!” Hetu exclaimed.

“Oh? The Supreme Wa? This is…Sect Master Supreme Ascendant? You are the Future Buddha?” Jiang Lianshan’s expression changed, as he recognized everyone.

“Amitābha!” The Future Buddha held his palms together and bowed slightly.

“Greetings, Yan Heavenly Emperor. This humble one is the Supreme Ascendant. Might I know which body of the Six Paths Veritable Lord your esteemed self killed?” the Supreme Ascendant asked seriously.

How strong was the Six Paths Veritable Lord? This group killing one had proved their strength.

“Oh? Your group killed one too?” Jiang Lianshan’s expression changed.

The Supreme Ascendant nodded. “It’s all thanks to Imperial Emperor Gu, allowing us to wear down the Six Paths Veritable Lord’s water deity body.”

Jiang Lianshan looked at Gu Hai gravely.

“This humble one used a Go Dao ritual array to manifest Long Zhanguo. Unfortunately, we fell slightly short. Three Old Mister Guan Qis appeared at the end and took away the Six Paths Veritable Lord’s physical soul body,” Gu Hai explained.

“Another Old Mister Guan Qi?” The Flame Monarch glared.

“Did you meet him too?” Gu Hai asked.

Jiang Lianshan nodded. “That’s right. We met four Old Mister Guan Qis. The Six Paths Veritable Lord’s metal deity body killed three of them with his holy sword. The last one managed to take advantage and collected the Six Paths Veritable Lord’s physical soul body.”

“Metal deity body? The holy sword?” Heavenly Access’s face sank.

The holy sword was Heavenly Access’s greatest thorn. He believed his sword Dao to be the strongest in the world, but he could not even last a strike against the holy sword. Furthermore, that was not against the metal deity body. How much stronger would it have been with the metal deity body wielding it?

“The Xuanyuan Sword blocked the holy sword, giving us an opportunity. That metal deity body was very powerful.” The Flame Monarch nodded.

[TL Note: Xuanyuan is the given name of the Yellow Emperor, the leader of the Chinese pantheon. This is fitting, given that Ji Dihong is the Huang (Yellow) Heavenly Emperor. Here is the Wikipedia entry on the Yellow Emperor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_Emperor.]

“The Xuanyuan Sword? Ji Dihong’s Xuanyuan Sword, the fifth-ranked of the top sixteen ancient treasures? Isn’t it said that the Xuanyuan Sword is only a ceremonial tool, a sword of a sovereign? How…” Heavenly Access’s face sank.

The Xuanyuan Sword was ranked fifth, and the Seven Immortal Executioner Swords seventh. Heavenly Acess initially did not think the Xuanyuan Sword was powerful because it was a ceremonial tool—a divine sword that Ji Dihong forged using blessings and the support of the people, not something for combat. However, it managed to block the holy sword. That proved it was stronger than the Seven Immortal Executioner Swords. Ji Dihong hid himself that deeply?

“Ji Dihong collected the holy sword and merged it into the Xuanyuan Sword. The Xuanyuan Sword should be even more powerful now,” Jiang Lianshan explained.

“Even more powerful?” Heavenly Access felt uncomfortable.

“Given that, two of the Six Paths Veritable Lords have died?” Sect Master Supreme Ascendant said with a frown.

Jiang Lianshan shook his head. “There should be three.”

“Three? Who killed the third Six Paths Veritable Lord?” Gu Hai asked, bewildered.

“I’m not sure. Old Mister Guan Qi mentioned it before he left.” Jiang Lianshan shook his head again.

“How excellent of Guan Qi’s game! Using others to kill!” Heavenly Access said gravely.

Although this Old Mister Guan Qi might not be the strongest, his schemes were astonishing. To think that three of the powerful Six Paths Veritable Lords had already died from his scheme?

“Several Old Mister Guan Qis died as well.” Kong Xuan frowned.

“Several died? Haha! Perhaps not many of him died.” Jiang Lianshan shook his head.

“Aren’t there ten?” Kong Xuan asked in confusion.

“There were four at my side and three on yours. Surely there were at least three at the third killed Six Paths Veritable Lord, right? That already makes ten. How could the other Six Paths Veritable Lords not be monitored by Old Mister Guan Qi?” Jiang Lianshan analyzed.

“This…” Everyone felt shocked.

“Old Mister Guan Qi also said that the three spiritual souls were the main ones and the seven physical souls were supplementary. Therefore, the strongest Six Paths Veritable Lords are the heavenly soul, earthly soul, and mortal soul—the three spiritual souls. Even the deity king body of the seven physical soul bodies would not be a match for the three spiritual soul bodies. He told us to be careful,” the Flame Monarch said with a bitter smile.

“That means that we could suffer from the retaliation of an even stronger Six Paths Veritable Lord ten days later?” Gu Hai frowned.

The Flame Monarch nodded.

As the group chatted, the Supreme Wa appeared shocked. However, Hetu appeared horrified.

“You-you-you killed three Six Paths Veritable Lords? You demons! You will die a horrible death! Island guards, capture them!” Hetu said in a rage.

The zombies ignored Hetu, waiting for the Supreme Wa’s order.

“Milady! Milady! There is not a single good person among these demons. We had better capture them!” Hetu pleaded anxiously with the Supreme Wa.

However, the Supreme Wa ignored Hetu. Instead, she looked at everyone. “Since everyone can kill the Six Paths Veritable Lord on your own, don’t disturb my elder brother. Please leave.”

When the Supreme Wa told the group to leave, Jiang Liangshan suddenly looked at the Supreme Wa and Hetu.

“Supreme Wa, you are sending us off already? I came to compare my sixty-four hexagrams with Fuxi!” Jiang Lianshan smiled.

“My elder brother is in closed-door cultivation and is not meeting anyone. Everyone, please leave!” The Supreme Wa invited the group to leave again.

“What if we refuse?” the Scarlet Emperor sneered.

“Then, don’t blame me. Zombie One, kill without mercy if anyone steps toward All Magnificent Island,” the Supreme Wa said coldly.

“Yes!” the leader of the zombies answered.

Boom!

The zombie soldiers immediately gave off sinister auras as they looked coldly at everyone.

“Hah! With these rotten zombies? Young lass, you are not married yet, right? Do you believe I will disfigure your face if they dare to attack? Let’s see if Fuxi will come out or not,” the Scarlet Emperor sneered, threatening the Supreme Wa.

To a young lady who had never left All Magnificent Island like the Supreme Wa, disfiguring her face was much more terrifying than killing her. She unconsciously stepped back.

In the next moment, the Supreme Wa felt furious over her own cowardice. She was about to shout back when Gu Hai’s eyes turned cold.

“Kong Xuan, slap!” Gu Hai said coldly.

Whoosh!

A five-colored divine light rushed at the Scarlet Emperor.

“What?” The Scarlet Emperor glared. The five-colored divine light was already close before he could react.

Jiang Lianshan and the others did not expect Gu Hai to fall out with them suddenly.

“Stop!” Jiang Lianshan glared.

However, it was already too late.

Boom!

A loud report resounded as the five-colored divine light swatted the Scarlet Emperor away. The five-colored divine light tore most of his clothes and cut his face, making him bleed.

Furthermore, Kong Xuan had already held back. Otherwise, the Scarlet Emperor would not just be bleeding.

“Kong Xuan? Gu Hai?” The livid Scarlet Emperor immediately showed a ferocious expression.

Whoosh!

The Flame Monarch and the White Emperor took out their enchanted treasures, looking coldly at Gu Hai and Kong Xuan.

“Humph!” Jiang Lianshan snorted coldly.

Space trembled, and a shock wave rushed at Gu Hai and Kong Xuan.

Coo!

Kong Xuan let out a loud cry, and a demonic aura burst forth, blocking Jiang Lianshan’s voice shock wave.

Heavenly Access did not interfere, and neither did Sect Master Supreme Ascendant. The Future Buddha held his palms together, saying nothing.

“Gu Hai, what are you trying to do?” Jiang Lianshan demanded coldly.

However, Gu Hai looked coldly at the Scarlet Emperor. “The Supreme Wa is my wife. Watch your words. Otherwise, it will not be as simple as a slap the next time.”

“Your wife? Humph! Hah!” the Scarlet Emperor laughed out of anger.

Jiang Lianshan’s face sank. Then, he looked at Heavenly Access and Sect Master Supreme Ascendant.

If one got slapped because of humiliating and scaring another’s wife, he could not say anything about it.

However, Jiang Lianshan sought verification.

“I don’t know anything,” Heavenly Access said indifferently. He wanted to watch this play out. Clearly, his anger had not abated yet.

However, Sect Master Supreme Ascendant smiled bitterly. Not wanting the conflict to intensify, he said gravely, “Perhaps it is true. When Heavenly Access offended Lady Supreme Wa earlier, Gu Hai destroyed his Immortal Murderer Sword, Immortal Exterminator Sword, and Immortal Voider Sword. Yan Heavenly Emperor, it is indeed your subordinate being too loose with his words this time.”

“Huh?” Jiang Lianshan’s pupils constricted as he looked at Gu Hai.

Although he had heard that the other group destroyed a Six Paths Veritable Lord because of Gu Hai, he had not thought much of it. Now, he heard that Gu Hai destroyed the Immortal Murderer Sword, the Immortal Exterminator Sword, and the Immortal Voider Sword. Those were Heavenly Access’s treasures. What happened earlier? To think Heavenly Access suffered at Gu Hai’s hands despite his strength?

“Humph! Gu Hai, we’ll remember this!” the Scarlet Emperor said coldly.

The White Emperor showed a somewhat complicated expression as she looked at Gu Hai.

Murong Yan seemed distracted, not appearing to listen to the conversation. At this moment, she looked towards the distant sea with a distressed expression. Heart-breaking worry showed on her face; she did not seem to care about anything else in the world.

Although the Supreme Wa still rejected Gu Hai calling her his wife, her distaste for Gu Hai lessened significantly. At the very least, he stood up for her when the Scarlet Emperor was rude to her. He had backed her and dealt a painful attack to the Scarlet Emperor.

“The Scarlet Emperor’s rude speech is his fault. However, he is our man. It is not your place to teach him a lesson!” Jiang Lianshan looked at Gu Hai coldly.

As he spoke, Jiang Lianshan waved.

Boom!

A golden diagram of the sixty-four hexagrams suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Immediately after, a golden Li hexagram shot at Kong Xuan.

Kong Xuan’s body could not move, apparently locked in place by the sixty-four hexagrams.

Coo!

Kong Xuan struggled with all his might as he cried out.

Space seemed to shatter like glass. Then, Kong Xuan struggled free. However, the golden Li hexagram continued towards him like a large fireball and engulfed him in fire.

Boom!

The attack knocked Kong Xuan away, tearing most of his robes and reducing him to a sorry state.

“Huh?” Gu Hai’s face sank as he extended his hand to draw the Immortal Trapper Sword and manipulate the stars above.

Boom!

The stars rearranged, and Jiang Lianshan felt a powerful murderous intent. Resplendent starlight shone as the Thirty-Four Line-Pair World Ritual Array prepared to fire another Disintegration Beam.

Jiang Lianshan could not possibly give in to Gu Hai, and Gu Hai would not give in to Jiang Lianshan. The sixty-four hexagrams revolved in the surroundings, and the Thirty-Four Line-Pair World Ritual Array readied an attack. An intense battle threatened to break out at the slightest trigger.

“Stop!” Sect Master Supreme Ascendant shouted anxiously.

Boom!

The Taiji Diagram appeared, and the power of Yinyang interposed between Jiang Lianshan and Gu Hai.

“Yan Heavenly Emperor, Imperial Emperor Gu, the Six Paths Veritable Lord is currently the greatest threat. Let’s wait until later to settle personal grudges, alright?” the Supreme Ascendant called out anxiously.

The Supreme Ascendant stepped in to stop them. Sect Master Heavenly Access stood unwilling beside the Supreme Ascendant.

Gu Hai and Jiang Lianshan glared at each other coldly.

“Your Reverence, this subject is fine,” Kong Xuan said as he flew over.

Although Kong Xuan hated Jiang Lianshan for making a move, he still took the situation into account and decided not to pursue it. However, he understood how strong Jiang Lianshan was from the earlier attack. No wonder Jiang Lianshan could kill a Six Paths Veritable Lord.

“Imperial Emperor Gu, Kong Xuan is fine, and he hit the Scarlet Emperor earlier, so it is even. How about that?” the Supreme Ascendant advised while smiling.

“I sent Kong Xuan to slap the Scarlet Emperor, as he humiliated my wife. That is even. However, Jiang Lianshan hit my subject after that. How can it be even?” Gu Hai countered coldly.

“Gu Hai? What do you want? We have given you face. That is not for you to act impudently against us!” Jiang Lianshan said coldly.

Gu Hai nitpicked the details not because he had a grudge but because he felt injustice for the Supreme Wa. Moreover, he needed to establish his position for the battle against the Six Paths Veritable Lord later.

Just the Disintegration Beam alone resulted in Heavenly Access no longer underestimating him. Now, Jiang Lianshan remained aloof. Although Jiang Lianshan was polite, Jiang Lianshan looked down on him.

Take earlier, for example. If Gu Hai were Long Zhanguo and the Scarlet Emperor insulted his wife, would Jiang Lianshan have fallen out with him over a slap?

Jiang Lianshan would not. It was right to teach those below a lesson when they were wrong.

Fighting the Six Paths Veritable Lord could result in death. Gu Hai needed to underscore his position. Only then would he not be treated as a pawn that could be discarded at will.
