Book 06 Chapter 136: Returning
Eight hundred thousand years in the future:
After the Revival Convention started and the many sovereigns and sect masters got sent eight hundred thousand years into the past, nearly all the major dynasties鈥?and sects鈥?blessings scattered.
The Divine Continent plunged into great chaos.
Many ambitious and restless minor factions鈥攎ost of which were royal and imperial dynasties鈥攗sed this opportunity to invade and occupy adjacent territory.
During this great chaos, countless factions dissolved. Of course, countless factions rose too.
Han Imperial Dynasty:
Since this had happened before, the Han Nation officials were experienced in dealing with this.
Overtly, Chen Tianshan managed the nation. Gao Xianzhi led the army to defend against the attackers that came from all directions. Meng Tai led the Embroidered Uniform Guard to deal with the unrest within the nation.
Covertly, Chang Ming led the Blood Uniform Guard to stop any assassins sent by the neighboring nations and washed the lairs of invaders in blood.
Everyone waited for the imperial emperor to return.
This day finally arrived almost one year later.
Boom!
Those scattered blessings reappeared out of nowhere, gathering above Borderless Heavenly Capital. Such a scene happened not just in the Han Imperial Dynasty but all over the world.
Blessings returned to the Wu Imperial Dynasty, the Ying Imperial Dynasty, the Huang Heavenly Dynasty, the Spirit Mountain Holy Land, and various other places. Blessings filled the Divine Continent. The countless fighting soldiers鈥?expressions changed.
鈥淲hat? His Reverence is still alive?鈥?
鈥淗ow can this be?! How can this be?!鈥?
鈥淲icked traitor! His Reverence has returned! Hurry! Kill the enemies with me and make contributions!鈥?
鈥淜ill!鈥?
The blessings鈥?return had an enormous impact in various places. Some suppressed armies suddenly gained boundless strength. Some armies with high morale suddenly lost hope.
At this moment, various nations displayed the might they should have.
The Huang Heavenly Dynasty only experienced some minor commotions. Nothing much happened.
The Spirit Mountain Holy Land also remained peaceful.
Only the sects and nations with unstable foundations fell into chaos.
The blessings鈥?return meant that the many experts of the Divine Continent had returned.
Borderless Heavenly Capital, Han Imperial Dynasty:
Chen Tianshan, Gao Xianzhi, Meng Tai, and others inwardly released bated breaths.
鈥淗ah! The blessings have returned! His Reverence is returning!鈥?Gao Xianzhi said excitedly.
Meng Tai exhaled slowly, showing a determined look in his eyes.
Chen Tianshan met with the officials outside the Soaring Palace Hall. The officials felt incredibly excited.
鈥淗eaven watches over the Han Nation!鈥?Chen Tianshan shouted.
鈥淗eaven watches over the Han Nation! Long live His Reverence! May His Reverence live for ten thousand years!鈥?the officials called out solemnly.
鈥淓veryone can relax now. His Reverence will return soon. Inform all the city lords and announce to the world that the blessings have returned. His Reverence will return soon. The entire nation will celebrate!鈥?Chen Tianshan shouted.
鈥淵es!鈥?
Word quickly spread. The Han Imperial Dynasty citizens immediately felt at ease, celebrating with the world.
While some celebrated, some naturally felt horrified.
Some sovereigns and sect masters had died eight hundred thousand years in the past. Naturally, their blessings did not return.
Among those affected was the Yan Heavenly Dynasty, one of the two remaining heavenly dynasties.
Divine Yan Hall:
The Yan Heavenly Dynasty鈥檚 second princess looked at the sky with an unsightly expression; the blessings had not returned.
All the officials showed sullen expressions, appearing anxious and worried.
鈥淲hat happened? What鈥檚 going on?鈥?the red-clad Jingwei said with an unsightly expression.
A guard saluted and reported after entering, 鈥淧rincess, you sent me to check on the surrounding four sects and eight nations. Aside from the Entrancing Music Sect, the blessings of the other three sects and eight nations have returned!鈥?
鈥淎bsolutely disgraceful!鈥?Jingwei slammed her hand on the armrest.
Boom!

The chair shattered as a loud report rang out in the palace hall. The officials trembled in fear.
鈥淪omething must have delayed Eminent Father! Men, keep an eye on those three sects and eight nations. If their sect masters or sovereigns return, immediately bring them to me!鈥?Jingwei shouted.
鈥淵es!鈥?
鈥淣o! Use the zither puppets! Use the zither puppets to inform me immediately!鈥?Jingwei yelled.
鈥淵es!鈥?
The Yan Heavenly Dynasty turned deadly silent. No one dared to speculate or say anything untoward. No one caused a commotion.
When the various sovereigns and sect masters returned, their blessings returned. Why did the Yan Heavenly Dynasty鈥檚 blessings not return? Did something happen to His Holy Eminence? However, no one dared to explore this thought.
This was a heavenly dynasty, one of the peak factions of the world. The sovereign鈥檚 death was a major matter.
Nothing will happen. Nothing will happen.
However, the Yan Heavenly Dynasty鈥檚 blessings still did not return as time passed.
This continued until one month later.
The Flame Monarch returned to the Divine Yan Hall.
鈥淓minent Father died? You are lying to me! Flame Monarch, you are lying to me!鈥?Jingwei yelled with wide eyes.
The Flame Monarch was still in a weakened state. He showed a bitter expression as he shook his head.
鈥淵ou are lying to me! That鈥檚 impossible! My eminent father is unrivaled. His schemes run very deep, and he plans far into the future. My eminent father will not die! He won鈥檛!鈥?Jingwei roared in denial.
The Flame Monarch could only look at her, bitter and mournful.
鈥淭ell me! Tell me how my eminent father died?!鈥?Jingwei roared as two lines of tears flowed out of her eyes.
Before the Flame Monarch could speak, the Present Buddha鈥檚 voice rang out outside the hall. 鈥淎mit膩bha!鈥?
鈥淟ass Jingwei?鈥?Ji Dihong鈥檚 voice came from outside.
The Flame Monarch鈥檚 expression changed. 鈥淭hey are here already? Oh no! Princess, you are in danger.

Borderless Heavenly Capital, Han Imperial Dynasty:
Whoosh!
A beam of azure light shot to the Soaring Palace Hall鈥檚 plaza.
The guards relaxed when they saw who had arrived. 鈥淪alutations, Fifth Corps commander!鈥?
It was Kong Xuan.
When Kong Xuan returned, Chen Tianshan and the others immediately came over.
鈥淟ord Kong, you have returned? Where is His Reverence?鈥?Chen Tianshan asked with anticipation.
鈥淗is Reverence? His Reverence has not returned yet?鈥?Kong Xuan said in surprise.
Far away in a hall, the Mosquito Daoist鈥檚 face sank.
鈥淜ong Xuan鈥檚 aura grew stronger again?鈥?The Mosquito Daoist鈥檚 expression turned unsightly.
The Mosquito Daoist had been guarding Borderless Heavenly Capital for the past several months. He had been relatively carefree, as he had confidence in Gu Hai. The blessings鈥?reappearance recently already proved it.
However, he did not know what Gu Hai and the others encountered during the Revival Convention.
鈥淗is Reverence has yet to return.鈥?Gao Xianzhi shook his head.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a beam of golden light shot over and arrived at the Soaring Palace Hall鈥檚 plaza.
鈥淲ho is it?!鈥?The guards rushed forward again.
鈥淚t鈥檚 Shangguan Hen!鈥?Kong Xuan said in shock.
Boom!
When Shangguan Hen landed on the Soaring Palace Hall鈥檚 plaza, he was shining with a bright golden light. His aura startled everyone.
鈥淭hat鈥檚 impossible! How did Shangguan Hen鈥檚 cultivation increase by this much? To think his aura is no weaker than Kong Xuan鈥檚? What did they encounter at the Revival Convention?鈥?the Mosquito Daoist exclaimed in shock.
鈥淕reetings, Prime Shangguan!鈥?the officials greeted when they rushed over.
鈥淗as His Reverence returned yet?鈥?Shangguan Hen looked at everyone.
鈥淣ot yet. However, the reappearance of the blessings cloud sea proves that His Reverence is fine.鈥?Chen Tianshan smiled.
鈥淥h!鈥?
鈥淲hile you all went missing, the blessings of the various major factions in the world disappeared. The Han Imperial Dynasty鈥檚 blessings returned half a month ago. I believe His Reverence should be returning soon,鈥?Chen Tianshan said.
Whoosh!
A beam of azure light shot over from a distance.
鈥淚t鈥檚 Prime Ao Shun!鈥?Shangguan Hen鈥檚 eyes lit up.
The now nearby Mosquito Daoist showed an unsightly expression. 鈥淲hy did everyone鈥檚 cultivation increase by so much on this trip? This is the same for Ao Shun too. Previously, he was just a newly advanced Upper Heavenly Palace Realm, right? Why鈥hy is his aura so strong now?鈥?
Buzz!
Ao Shun withdrew his aura. Shangguan Hen and Kong Xuan did the same.
After chatting for a while, they found that Gu Hai had not returned yet. They could only sigh. However, it did not matter. The blessings had returned. That meant that Gu Hai had already returned from eight hundred thousand years in the past. He probably got delayed by some matter.
鈥淟et鈥檚 just wait patiently.鈥?Kong Xuan shook his head.
Everyone nodded. They could only wait patiently.
鈥淟ord Meng, inform the Embroidered Uniform Guard to report any news of His Reverence immediately!鈥?Chen Tianshan instructed.
Meng Tai nodded. 鈥淩est assured!鈥?
------
Gu Hai fell unconscious. After some time, he finally woke up with a headache.
鈥淗iss! My head. Where is this?鈥?Gu Hai wanted to rub his head, still in a daze.
However, his body did not respond to him; he could not move.
Gu Hai immediately came to his senses and goggled at his surroundings.
He found himself in an empty hall. There was a large pool in the center of the hall. This pool was half-filled with a white liquid and half-filled with a black liquid.
The black and white liquids mixed, spinning around each other. However, they remained distinct, forming a Taiji diagram.
The black and white liquids surrounded Gu Hai; even his head was immersed in them. However, he strangely could breathe and speak.
Yin- and Yang-attributed energies entered and exited his body, stirring up the various parts of his body and preventing him from using any energy.
It was not just his body that could not use energy. The energies also surrounded the various deity kings, his mortal soul, and his earthly soul, rendering him immobile.
Gu Hai could not drive any of his energy. He could only remain trapped there.
Trapped? I鈥檓 trapped here? What is this Yinyang pool?
Gu Hai鈥檚 expression changed. He wanted to struggle free but could not move. The more he tried to struggle, the stronger the Yinyang energies twisted in his body, inflicting pain.
鈥淪top struggling. This is the Taiji Diagram, the thirteenth of the top sixteen ancient treasures. You are the first person to be imprisoned with the Taiji Diagram. However, we can only use this method on you, Gu Hai.鈥?A voice rang out behind Gu Hai.
Gu Hai鈥檚 face sank, and he stopped struggling. He could not turn his body, so he could not see the scene behind him. However, this voice sounded very familiar.
鈥淪ect Master Heavenly Access?鈥?Gu Hai鈥檚 expression changed.
Pad. Pad. Pad.
Soft footsteps came from behind. It was Sect Master Heavenly Access strolling to Gu Hai.
Another person followed behind Sect Master Heavenly Access. It was the Supreme Ascendant Dao鈥檚 Xuan Du.
Xuan Du looked at Gu Hai coldly with some apprehension in his eyes. However, he did not feel afraid as he followed behind Sect Master Heavenly Access.
Sect Master Heavenly Access sauntered to stand before Gu Hai, coldly eyeing him.
鈥淭hat purple light from when we were returning was you attacking me?鈥?Gu Hai showed a sullen expression.
