Divine cultivation?
Chiyou and his eighty-one brothers? The recent Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva?
The strength they showed vastly surpassed Gu Hai鈥檚 expectations. He suddenly discovered there were still a myriad of secrets he was unaware of in this world.
Chiyou and his band of brothers even managed to scare off the arrogant Sect Master Heavenly Access. That was the real Sect Master Heavenly Access in person!
鈥淎lright, go back to eating your Fusang Tree!鈥?Chiyou shouted.
鈥淎lright!鈥?
The giants immediately turned their attention back to the Fusang Tree.
Heads of bronze and arms of iron no weapons can penetrate. No item is inedible?
Shock flashed in Gu Hai鈥檚 eyes. If only I had such a group of followers.
鈥淎lright. I鈥檝e already sent Heavenly Access away. You don鈥檛 have to worry now, Brother.鈥?Chiyou suddenly smiled at Gu Hai.
Looking at Chiyou, Gu Hai bowed deeply. 鈥淢any thanks, Imperial Emperor Chiyou.鈥?
鈥淎re you looking down on me?鈥?Chiyou retorted with some anger.
鈥淣o! How can that be?!鈥?Gu Hai exclaimed.
鈥淚 called you Brother, but you called me Imperial Emperor Chiyou? If that is not looking down on me, what is it?鈥?
鈥淚 truly did not intend that!鈥?Gu Hai protested with a bitter smile.
鈥淚f that is the case, let鈥檚 immediately swear brotherhood. The immortal firmament will be our witness, and we will drink each other鈥檚 blood as our pledge. How about that?鈥?Chiyou suggested, smiling.
鈥淗ow is this humble one worthy of that?鈥?Gu Hai said with a bitter smile.
鈥淚f I say you are worthy, you are!鈥?Chiyou shouted.
As Chiyou spoke, he took out a large bowl. Ahda stopped chewing on the tree, took out a vat of wine, and poured wine out for Chiyou.
The other giants stopped eating and looked at Gu Hai and Chiyou.
Gu Hai looked at Chiyou with awe in his eyes.
鈥淚mperial Emperor Chiyou!鈥?Gu Hai said gravely.
鈥淗uh?鈥?Chiyou glared.
鈥淟et me finish. I鈥檓 grateful that you think highly of Gu Hai. However, I would like to say that I cannot let my Han Imperial Dynasty go. I cannot be like these brothers, following you everywhere,鈥?Gu Hai said gravely.
鈥淭hat is what you were worried about? Hahahahahaha!鈥?Chiyou guffawed.
鈥淗ahahahahaha!鈥?
The surrounding eighty-one giants started guffawing too.
Gu Hai frowned at Chiyou.
鈥淣aturally, my鈥擟hiyou鈥檚鈥攂rothers do not serve as my subjects. They follow me willingly. As long as I鈥擟hiyou鈥攈ave food to eat, I will never let my brothers go hungry. I will not force you if you are not willing to follow me. I think highly of you, so you are my brother. If I do not think highly of someone, I will ignore them, even the creator of everything!鈥?Chiyou shouted.
Gu Hai immediately let out a long breath. Then, he said, forcing a smile, 鈥淚 was petty!鈥?
鈥淧etty? Then contribute more blood!鈥?Chiyou guffawed.
鈥淎lright!鈥?
Gu Hai straightforwardly slit his palm and dribbled a large amount of blood into the bowl of wine.
Chiyou also slit his palm and added a large quantity of blood into the bowl.
鈥淚鈥檒l go first!鈥?Gu Hai picked up the large bowl and drank half the content.
Buzz!
After drinking the blood-and-wine mixture, Gu Hai immediately felt his body warm.
鈥淓xcellent!鈥?Chiyou picked up the bowl and finished the other half in one go.
鈥淔irst Brother!鈥?Gu Hai bowed deeply.
鈥淪econd Brother! Excellent brother! Hahahaha!鈥?Chiyou guffawed as he also bowed deeply.
鈥淐ongratulations, Brother Gu!鈥?The giants now all turned friendly as they looked at Gu Hai.
鈥淔irst Brother, I have a question. Why is First Brother willing to swear brotherhood with me?鈥?Gu Hai asked out of curiosity.
鈥淚 waited in this demonic cave for three thousand years. After the first one thousand years passed, I declared that I would marry the person who broke the seal if that person was female or swear brotherhood if that person was male. Hahahaha! Second Brother, you broke the seal, so you are my brother. Furthermore, I like you. Hahahaha! Not bad! Not bad! You live up to being my brother鈥攁 perfect heavenly soul upon reaching the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm. Back then, Jiang Lianshan had grand plans for this boundless lifespan. Well used!鈥?Chiyou guffawed.
鈥淚鈥檓 too embarrassed!鈥?Gu Hai smiled.
鈥淢y band of brothers will not swear brotherhood with you for now. They shall decide for themselves. It will not be too late to swear brotherhood later when you gain their acknowledgment,鈥?Chiyou said solemnly.
Gu Hai nodded. He did not feel any pressure from swearing brotherhood with Chiyou. It was not due to Chiyou being stronger than him but his heroic spirit.
Chiyou chased Sect Master Heavenly Access away the first time he met Gu Hai just because he found Gu Hai likable. He ignored cultivation and status, willing to befriend those of a lower position. He did not even care about any gains or losses. Gu Hai was willing to befriend him just because of Chiyou鈥檚 breadth of character.
Of course, they had just sworn brotherhood. Gu Hai could not possibly devote himself to Chiyou. He did not know whether Chiyou had a motive in swearing brotherhood with him. This would take time to verify.
鈥淔irst Brother has just been freed and has nothing good on hand. After First Brother fights those codgers and takes back my things, I will make up for it. For now, First Brother will give you a small gift!鈥?Chiyou declared.
鈥淭here鈥檚 no need. I do not lack anything now.鈥?Gu Hai shook his head.
Chiyou glared. 鈥淲hether you lack anything or not is your problem. Whether First Brother gives you something or not is mine. Alright, cut the crap. I have nothing good for you now. Your current cultivation is too weak, so let First Brother give you some cultivation.鈥?
鈥淗uh?鈥?Gu Hai felt slightly surprised.
Cultivation? How can you give cultivation?
鈥淭he Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivates energy. With a perfect heavenly soul, the energy requirement is ten thousand times鈥攖en million times鈥攈igher than for ordinary people. It is too difficult for you to cultivate, simply too difficult. Coincidentally, the demonic cave that sealed me contains boundless Shaman Energy. Using the Shaman Energy to build a foundation couldn鈥檛 be better. Go collect all of it; you probably can make a breakthrough. Go down, then!鈥?Chiyou extended his hand and patted Gu Hai.
鈥淎h! Wait! Wait!鈥?Gu Hai鈥檚 expression changed.
Boom!
Chiyou pushed Gu Hai down into the abyss.
鈥淭here鈥檚 no need to wait. Second Brother, listen carefully. Everything in this world but your own strength is fake. Strength is the one thing that is real. Go in and cultivate properly. My seal will break when you finish absorbing all the Shaman Energy in there!鈥?Chiyou shouted.
鈥淲ait! Wait!鈥?Gu Hai鈥檚 expression changed.
Boom!
Chiyou threw a palm strike, which sent the surrounding seawater into the abyss.
Then, he extended his hand and formed a large shaman seal at the entrance.
Rumble鈥?
The entrance to the abyss and its surroundings vanished in the blink of an eye.
The surrounding water covered it all, concealing everything from sight.
鈥淪econd Brother, I鈥檓 doing this for your own good. You can come and find me when you come out!鈥?Chiyou said gravely.
The nearby giants quickly finished eating the Fusang Tree.
鈥淏ig Brother, we are not full yet!鈥?the eighty-one giants said, frowning.
鈥淟et鈥檚 go! We鈥檒l return to the Divine Continent and have something good to eat! Hahahahaha!鈥?Chiyou guffawed.
鈥淗ah!鈥?The giants excitedly followed Chiyou into the distance.
As they flew away, the overwhelming black energy followed them.
Soon, the sea calmed, looking peaceful as though nothing had happened.
Only Gu Hai remained stuck in the demonic chasm.
Wisps of black energy poured over from the surroundings. However, Gu Hai was in no mood to absorb them.
Inside the Gu鈥檚 Immortal Firmament:
Jingwei, Mu Chenfeng, Purple Subtlety, Longevity, Ensnaring Performance, and the others goggled.
Whoosh!
Gu Hai waved his hand, and everyone came out.
鈥淕u Hai, you鈥ou swore brotherhood with Chiyou?鈥?Jingwei said in wide-eyed shock.
鈥淵ou saw it all. What鈥檚 there to say? We had better think of how to get out,鈥?Gu Hai said with a bitter smile.
鈥淕et out? Stop dreaming. Chiyou got sealed in here for three thousand years. Are you more capable than him?鈥?Jingwei said with an unsightly expression.
鈥淭hen are we just going to remain here? For how long?鈥?Gu Hai countered with a long face.
鈥淗ow would I know? I still want to see my elder sister!鈥?Jingwei said anxiously.
鈥淪earch around. See if there is any way out,鈥?Gu Hai said seriously.
Everyone quickly searched the surroundings. However, the demonic chasm was pitch-black. A demonic aura filled the place. This place was incredibly vast; the group simply could not find an exit. They kept flying around before returning to the same place.
鈥淲hat is this place? We can鈥檛 get out?鈥?Purple Subtlety said with an unsightly expression.

鈥淗ow unlucky of me! I just got out of a prison, and I鈥檓 trapped in a new prison?鈥?Longevity said in shock.
The Elite Hall disciples felt depressed. They recently rejoiced over the hall master saving them. Now, they were trapped again.
鈥淢aster, look at what I found!鈥?Ensnaring Performance yelled excitedly.
鈥淗uh?鈥?Everyone came over.
They saw Ensnaring Performance run over with a clump of flesh. This clump of flesh seemed alive.
鈥淟ifespan Dongfang?鈥?Gu Hai said in shock.
鈥淭he Lifespan Dongfang that Ahqi crushed? He did not die? There鈥檚 still a heartbeat?鈥?Ensnaring Performance said in shock.
鈥淐ough! Cough! Cough! Gu Hai, you jinx! You brought trouble to me!鈥?Lifespan Dongfang scolded, feeling depressed, his body mangled.
鈥淏rought you trouble? Would you end up like this had you not had malicious intentions?鈥?
Jingwei鈥檚 eyes lit up as she cried out, 鈥淭hat鈥檚 right! Lifespan? You are a lifespan cultivator? You can bring us out!鈥?
鈥淗uh?鈥?Everyone鈥檚 eyes lit up.
鈥淗urry! Open the door to the nether realm! Quickly open the door to the nether realm and bring us out. Otherwise, I will burn you!鈥?Jingwei said furiously while glaring.
鈥淵ou-you鈥斺€?Lifespan Dongfang exclaimed while vomiting blood.
鈥淗urry!鈥?A vast amount of flames came out of Jingwei鈥檚 outstretched hand.
鈥淚鈥檓 close to death and cannot open a large entrance. Wait for me to recover!鈥?Lifespan Dongfang yelled.
鈥淲ait for you to recover? Humph! You will be able to flee then, and we won鈥檛 be able to do anything to you. Hurry! Now! Right now!鈥?Jingwei brought the flame closer to Lifespan Dongfang.
鈥淛ingwei, you dare?!鈥?
鈥淚鈥檒l burn you!鈥?
鈥淒on鈥檛! I鈥檒l open it! I鈥檒l open it!鈥?Lifespan Dongfang roared, feeling depressed.
As Lifespan Dongfang spoke, his completely deformed figure gently swiped across space.
Buzz!
A fist-sized entryway appeared in space.
鈥淭hat鈥檚 all? How are we to enter the nether realm?鈥?Jingwei glared.
鈥淟ike this!鈥?
Whoosh!
Lifespan Dongfang cackled as he dived in.
鈥淥h no! Get back here!鈥?Jingwei roared.
Boom!
A vast amount of flames rushed in and burned Lifespan Dongfang on the other side.
鈥淎h! Wretched lass, I will get you for this! Argh!鈥?Lifespan Dongfang roared in pain as he fled.
The fist-sized entryway shrank slowly.
鈥淲hat should we do? What should we do?鈥?Jingwei appeared anxious.
Everyone seemed panicked.
Gu Hai showed an unsightly expression. 鈥淚鈥檒l send you over!鈥?
鈥淎h?鈥?Everyone looked at Gu Hai with doubt.
Then, they saw him wave, taking everyone back into the Gu鈥檚 Immortal Firmament.
Gu Hai could not enter, but he could extend his Gu鈥檚 Immortal Firmament into the nether realm like a balloon. He could elongate the section containing everyone into the nether realm.
Whoosh!
Gu Hai immediately released them into the nether realm.
鈥淲e are out! This is the nether realm?鈥?Jingwei said in shock.
鈥淢aster!鈥?Ensnaring Performance cried out.
The entryway shrank further, now just the width of a finger.
鈥淭here鈥檚 no need to bother with me. Ensnaring Performance, Purple Subtlety, Longevity, Mu Chenfeng, and Elite Hall disciples, follow Jingwei and find her elder sister. Quickly! Find her elder sister and get her to break the seal for me!鈥?Gu Hai shouted.
鈥淎h?鈥?
鈥淵es!鈥?
Everyone answered.
Buzz!
That entryway dwindled until it vanished.
鈥淲here鈥檚 Lifespan Dongfang? Find him! Hurry!鈥?Jingwei roared.
However, Lifespan Dongfang had already fled.
