During the drought, the people suffered greatly. The Gu Residence opened up the granary to distribute food, a great act of kindness. This attracted the sincere gratitude of countless disaster victims. Many thoughts of gratitude gathered into a river and flowed towards the Gu Residence.
Gu Residence, Soaring Pagoda:
As Gu Hai was in closed-door cultivation, everyone and everything were blocked outside the pagoda. Guqin, Shangguan Hen, and Chen Tianshan stood guard outside the Soaring Pagoda, protecting Gu Hai.
Rumble …!
The sound of metal clanging came from the Soaring Pagoda.
"That sounds like bones clanging? What cultivation did Milord break through? "Chen Tianshan asked, feeling confused.
Shangguan Hen frowned slightly and shook his head. Clearly, he did not know, either.
Gu Hai sat cross-legged in the Soaring Pagoda. His bones gave off clanging sounds.
Back when he was in the Dragon Pagoda Sect, the Life Ender Saber absorbed the boundless energy of the dragon vein in the Twenty-Nine Worlds, which gave Gu Hai a large amount of energy to strengthen his bones. However, in the later stages, he reached a bottleneck. Due to the accumulation of energy, there was no qualitative change.
Now, with the surging beneficence gathering a large amount of providence, Xiao Chen broke through this bottleneck, and his bones underwent a transformation.
Rumble …!
A loud sound reverberated in Gu Hai's body. After six hours, Gu Hai's body trembled.
Boom!
A loud sound rang out. Only then did Gu Hai's bones stop clanging. Instead, they gave off cracking sounds. After another two hours, they slowly calmed down.
Gu Hai opened his eyes. At this moment, he was already covered in sweat as he stretched out his right palm.
Shing!
Under the control of his will, a bone slowly pierced out of his palm. After the transformation, the bone remained silvery-white. However, this bone now gave off a metallic luster, looking as dense as silver. However, it was much tougher than silver. It was a silvery-white metallic bone.
With a flip of his hand, Gu Hai took out a sword.
Shing!
The silvery-white bone easily pierced through the sword. It was incredibly sharp.
"Is this considered a breakthrough in my external cultivation?" Gu Hai sighed.
Whoosh!
Under the control of his will, the bone slowly shrank back into his body. The skin that had been pierced recovered in the blink of an eye.
Without hesitation, Gu Hai closed his eyes again and sensed his Dantian. Other than the breakthrough in his external cultivation, the zhenqi in his dantian also seemed to have reached a limit and was on the verge of a breakthrough.
That comfortable feeling was still present in his body, and it was still in the process of filling up his body. Slowly, it formed a golden halo around Gu Hai's body.
He closed his eyes and immersed his consciousness into his dantian.
His dantian was filled to the brim with Zhenqi. The dragon-shaped Zhenqi swirled in the vortex, gathering Zhenqi. However, the nine fist-sized Zhenqi vortexes seemed to repel each other. He was unable to take another step forward.
"Ang!"
The dragon-shaped zhenqi roared as it pushed the True Dragon Innate Skill to its limits. The power of the cyclone could only be this strong.
"Hu!"
Suddenly, strands of golden energy flowed into his dantian. The golden energy was none other than the virtuous virtue from all over the world. The golden providence slowly flowed into the nine fist-sized balls of Quintessential Essence.
"Buzz!"
The nine True Essences slowly fused together, slowly fusing into one within the aura.
Boom!
The fusion of the nine True Essences immediately gave off a loud sound. A strong force rushed out of Xiao Chen's dantian.
"Boom!"
A loud sound came from Gu Hai's body, and a current suddenly surged out.
A watermelon-sized ball of purple Quintessential Essence slowly spun in his dantian. The vortex spun above it, as though it wanted to gather all the Quintessential Essence in his body into it. However, it seemed to have reached its limit, and the Quintessential Essence could not increase by a single bit.
The Quintessential Essence flowed through his meridians, looking like it had reached a critical point.
"Buzz!"
Gu Hai opened his eyes and looked at his clenched hands. Then, he took a deep breath and said, "Tenth Layer Innate Realm, consummation of the Innate Realm. I can break through to the Golden Core Realm now?"
Gu Hai's providence was still increasing. He was very satisfied with his current state.
"Providence? Back when I was in the Acquired Realm, if I had established my country earlier and obtained the help of the providence, perhaps I would not have needed to spend so much effort to reach the Innate Realm? "Gu Hai said thoughtfully.
Then, Gu Hai smiled bitterly and said, "Even so, back then, the various countries were controlled by the various large sects. With my strength back then, it was impossible to establish a country!"
After taking a deep breath, Gu Hai slowly stood up. There was an indescribable feeling of comfort in his body. Slowly, Gu Hai walked to the window of the Soaring Pagoda.
"Foster Father, you broke through?" Guqin asked joyfully.
Gu Hai smiled and nodded.
After obtaining the providence, Gu Hai confirmed that establishing a country was the right thing to do.
Another ten days passed. During this time, the providence continued to gather. Gu Hai's body seemed to have a trace of golden light, making him look like a god.
Gu Hai frowned again at this moment. It was originally an extremely comfortable matter.
Although the presence of fate energy was very comfortable, it was also dissipating. As time passed, the fate energy that was temporarily useless would slowly dissipate. This would cause a great waste.
"I have to figure out how to accumulate and store providence. Otherwise, a large amount of providence will be wasted. When it is needed, it will not be enough!" Gu Hai thought.
After sitting in the study for a while, Shangguan Hen asked for an audience.
"Sir, we found the Shenji Battalion's disciples! But …! "Shangguan Hen looked at Gu Hai with a wry smile.
"Oh?" Gu Hai was puzzled.
"They seemed to have encountered a great battle. The ground was covered in blood. We also found the corpse of a Shenji Battalion's disciple." Shangguan Hen said with a wry smile.
As he spoke, two villains brought in a stretcher. On it lay the corpse of a Shenji Battalion's disciple in armor.
Gu Hai examined it slightly. "Killed with a single blow. Pierced through the heart?"
Shangguan Hen nodded. "Yes! He was sent flying and fell into a hidden bush. That's why his corpse was left behind. I guess some other Shenji Battalion's disciples also died, but their corpses are all gone! And there are no footprints of anyone leaving! "
"Oh?" Gu Hai frowned slightly.
"Godfather, godfather …!" Guqin ran into the room from outside in a hurry.
"Hmm?" Gu Hai looked at him in confusion.
"Godfather, there is a person outside. He brought in a thousand heads. He said that he killed a thousand Shenji Battalion's disciples, led by Gao Liusheng. He said that he wanted to give them to you!" Guqin frowned.
After all, it was too strange. Was he here to deliver the heads?
Gu Hai and Shangguan Hen exchanged glances.
"First Young Master, who is it?" Shangguan Hen asked in shock.
"I'm not sure. It's a white-haired old man with sparse hair. He was rather polite to us. He brought one thousand heads in ten large boxes. I don't know how they were transported here!" Guqin said with a frown.
"Let's go and take a look!" Gu Hai said with a frown.
Shangguan Hen and Guqin followed closely behind.
Soon, Gu Hai arrived outside the Gu Residence's ritual array.
"Master!"
"Milord!"
The surrounding Gu Residence members bowed respectfully to Gu Hai. Everyone surrounded a corner of the plaza.
Ten huge wooden chests were placed on the square. The chests were wide open, and each of them contained a hundred bloody skulls. Suddenly, Gu Hai saw a familiar face. One of the heads was the one that accompanied Li Haoran in the past.
Is this Gao Liusheng?
An old man in loose robes stood before the ten boxes. He was balding, with white hair at his temples and a ruddy complexion.
"This old man is Yao Zhengtian. Greetings, Mr. Goode!" the white-haired old man said with a faint smile.
"Oh? Greetings, Mister Yao. May I ask what is the meaning of these ten boxes of heads? "Gu Hai asked, feeling confused.
"These one thousand people are the disciples of the Shenji Battalion. They lobbied experts from all over to assassinate Mr. Goode. Unfortunately, they ran into this old man, so this old man dealt with them all to give Mr. Goode a greeting gift!" Yao Zhengtian said with a faint smile.
"Oh?" Gu Hai narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Mr. Goode, there is no need to be suspicious. While they wanted to deal with Mr. Goode, they also had a grudge with this old man. I just used this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone!" Yao Zhengtian smiled.
Gu Hai was slightly surprised. This person was rather honest. He did not completely push this as a gift but as a convenience.
"Mister Yao, this humble one has never met Mister Yao before. May I ask if Mister Yao is …?" Gu Hai asked, feeling puzzled.
"Mr. Goode should know me!" Yao Zhengtian smiled.
"Oh?"
"In the past, this humble one brought three thousand subordinates to the Great Feng Mafia Family. Many people should have heard of me. However, I met the Shenji Battalion Commander, Li Haoran, and fought with him. At that time, I had no choice but to retreat to the sea. Unfortunately, my three thousand subordinates were killed by the Shenji Battalion. That is how my grudge with the Shenji Battalion came about!"
Yao Zhengtian smiled. "Huh?" Gu Hai's pupils suddenly constricted. "You are that Sea Beast Baxia?"
Back when Gu Hai was imprisoned in the Great Feng Mafia Family, Sea Beast Baxia brought three thousand sea beasts ashore and triggered the weather to snatch the dragon vein?
"That is this old man!" Yao Zhengtian smiled faintly.
"The Shenji Battalion's disciples ate three thousand of my subordinates. Naturally, I ate one thousand of the Shenji Battalion's disciples as well, leaving only the heads for Mr. Goode. I hope you can forgive me. I came here to ask for a favor. I hope I did not disturb Mr. Goode," Yao Zhengtian said with a smile.
Gu Hai's expression changed. Then, he nodded and said, "Mister Yao came from afar. This way, please!"
"Many thanks, Mr. Goode!" Yao Zhengtian nodded.
Yao Zhengtian followed Gu Hai into the ritual array enveloping the Gu Residence, leaving his subordinates stunned.
"The Sea Beast Baxia? Did I hear wrong? It's him? "an evil man exclaimed.
"Milord is getting increasingly incredible. Even the Sea Beast Baxia is here to ask for a favor?"
"Yao Zhengtian? I was wondering why this name sounded so familiar. So, it is Baxia? "
…
…
…
The evil men felt both shocked and proud. Milord's face was their face. To think that the mighty Sea Beast Baxia of the Thousand Islands Sea was so polite to Milord?
Gu Hai led Yao Zhengtian to a large hall. Guqin, Shangguan Hen, and Chen Tianshan accompanied him.
"Mister Yao, please!" Gu Hai gestured for Yao Zhengtian to sit.
"Many thanks!" Yao Zhengtian said politely.
Guqin stepped forward and poured tea for the two.
"Mister Yao, you are not here for the dragon vein, right?" Gu Hai asked, feeling bewildered.
Yao Zhengtian shook his head and said, "This old man has already seen through it. That dragon vein is not something I can get my hands on. Old Man Guanqi set up a trap. Touching it will result in death. Hence, Mr. Goode, there is no need to worry. I am not here for that. This time, I do have a favor to ask of Mr. Goode!"
