Gu Residence:
Already, three days had passed since Gu Hai's group returned.
Inside Hulao Pass, the craftsmen continued working day and night. There was a hubbub of voices, and dust flew everywhere.
A group of guards stood guard in a large hall in the Gu Residence.
Gu Hai sat in the host's seat, holding a cup of tea. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Montes, who barely managed to sit up in the guest's seat.
"You don't hate me anymore?" Montes held his teacup as he glared at Gu Hai.
"No, I already said that I still hate you. You are cold-blooded, merciless, insidious, and ruthless. You will do anything to achieve your goals. Ha! Unfortunately, in the end, you failed at the last step. No one pitied you!" Gu Hai said as he shook his head.
"Then, you still want to subdue me? You want to establish a nation and make me your subject? "Montes stared at Gu Hai in disbelief.
"A nation! Not a home! I am about to face an overwhelming situation. All my subjects are of one mind? Ha! Such a nation will not amount to much. It is just like a horse. No matter how strong it is, it might not run fast. However, if there is a locust on the horse's butt, the horse will charge forward with all its might. My nation will gather the most outstanding talents. However, talent is not enough. I will need to command it. I will need a locust to stab me! "Gu Hai said as he sipped his tea.
"A locust?" Montes revealed a look of disbelief.
Meng Tai had guessed that Gu Hai wanted to establish a nation. It was not hard for Meng Tai to guess that Gu Hai wanted to gather countless talents to be his subjects. However, Meng Tai found it hard to understand why Gu Hai wanted to find a saboteur in the imperial court. A locust? Using me to spur the subjects?
"That analogy is not appropriate. Let's change it to another one. The catfish effect. Have you ever seen fishermen go out to sea to fish?" Gu Hai looked at Montes.
Montes shook his head. He was a cultivator, why would he pay attention to those vulgar fishermen?
"There are a lot of reasons in the world of mortals. A fisherman goes out to sea and catches a lot of tuna, but the tuna dies from lack of oxygen when they reach the shore. The fisherman can't sell them for a good price, so he looks for a reason. He discovers that the tuna likes to be quiet, so they slowly suck up all the oxygen in the water in the fish hold and die from lack of oxygen. However, it's different when there's a catfish. The catfish likes to move, and it will stir up the fish hold, making it restless. If it keeps stirring, the oxygen will keep flowing, and the tuna will still be alive when they reach the shore!" Gu Hai said solemnly.
Montes did not understand what oxygen was, but he understood the general meaning.
"Are you worried that as your country grows bigger and bigger, it will slowly lose its vitality like a pool of stagnant water? You want me to be a bad person and stir up a country's stagnant water? You, you, aren't you thinking too far ahead? You're already thinking about the way to balance the vassals? You're still far from that step! "Montes looked at Gu Hai in shock.
"It's not far. I'm going to establish my country soon!" Gu Hai said as he took a sip of tea.
Montes's eyelids twitched. At this point, Montes was no longer worried about Gu Hai's cultivation. The Golden Core Realm was indeed inferior to him, but if they really fought, Montes believed that Gu Hai had a dozen means to kill him.
In fact, Montes even felt a sense of dread when he fought with Gu Hai. This was something that he had never felt before.
"I understand, I understand. Establishing your country? After you establish your country, you want me to do all the internal matters. You want me to do all the things that are inconvenient for you? I have to bear the curse and fear of my subjects, while you have the support of the world? "Montes stared at Gu Hai.
"I will establish a special department called the 'Embroidered Uniform Guard.' The Embroidered Uniform Guard will have the authority to set up prisons and patrol and arrest people. There will be a Discipline Division that will be responsible for investigating, arresting, questioning, and other activities. They will help me monitor my subjects and the world, and spy on the secrets of other countries. The Embroidered Uniform Guard will be my personal army and will not be responsible to anyone else. They will only be responsible to me! "Gu Hai said solemnly.
"Embroidered Uniform Guard?" Montes' eyelids twitched.
After hearing Gu Hai's simple description, Montes could naturally feel the power behind this identity. It was second only to one person and above all others. Moreover, this power was perverse.
Gu Hai sat to the side and quietly drank his tea.
"Heh, aren't you afraid that I will rebel again? Do something that will betray you? Or find a chance to kill you and replace you? "Montes narrowed his eyes as he stared at Gu Hai.
"This is your nature. I have naturally thought of it. You will definitely not be able to return to Class One Hall. Your reputation is already in tatters. Also, you want to establish your own business. Unfortunately, you are too smart, but you do not understand the big picture. Without me, you will not be able to achieve anything. Heh, since I dared to use you, I am not afraid of you rebelling. However, before you rebel, you better think about the price you will have to pay! "Gu Hai said calmly.
Montes' eyelids twitched.
"Without me, you would have died long ago. But I know that you will not remember this kindness, and I do not need you to remember it. My patience is limited. I will give you three days to adjust your identity and position. After three days, I hope to see you change!" Gu Hai put down his teacup, stood up slowly, and walked out of the hall.
"I … I still have not agreed to be your subject!" Montes shouted while glaring.
Gu Hai stopped and turned his head to look at Montes. Then, he revealed a faint smile. Without saying anything, he turned around and walked out of the hall. This left Montes with a twitching face. Are you sure that you can control me?
After leaving the hall, Gu Hai saw Long Wanqing, Venerable Liu Nian, and the Unborn Man in another hall. The three seemed to be discussing something.
When the three saw Gu Hai walk over, they stopped.
"Senior Unborn Man, did you discover anything strange with Ding Rui's corpse?" Gu Hai asked out of curiosity.
The Unborn Man shook his head and said, "Li Haoran destroyed Ding Rui's three spiritual souls. Dead men tell no tales."
Gu Hai frowned slightly, as that was what Shangguan Hen said back then. How did Shangguan Hen figure it out?
"That is unfortunate!" Gu Hai said while shaking his head.
"Gu Hai, we are preparing to return. I have to report this to Maternal Grandfather immediately. Do you want to come with us? When we return, I will help you register at Elite Hall's headquarters. That way, you will be able to enjoy the bestowment of providence, "Long Wanqing said as she looked at Gu Hai with anticipation.
Gu Hai shook his head and said, "I will be establishing my nation in one month. I have too many things to do and cannot leave."
"Alright!" Long Wanqing sighed softly.
"One month? Perhaps we will not be able to make it back in time, "Venerable Liu Nian said with some regret.
Gu Hai nodded. Finally, he asked, "Hall Master, I have never asked before. Your maternal grandfather is …?"
"You don't know who my maternal grandfather is?" Long Wanqing felt slightly stunned.
Venerable Liu Nian also goggled as he looked at Gu Hai, not daring to imagine.
"I have never paid attention to him before!" Gu Hai said while shaking his head.
"Division Master Gu is really magnanimous. Indeed, it is useless to pay attention to him too early. "Venerable Liu Nian nodded as he looked at Gu Hai with a complicated expression.
"Do you know the Da Qian Celestial Dynasty?" Long Wanqing asked.
"One of the three great celestial dynasties of the Divine Continent? I have heard of it before. "Gu Hai nodded.
"My maternal grandfather is the ruler of the Da Qian Celestial Dynasty. It is located in the north of the Divine Continent and connects to the sky. It is called Qian! "Long Wanqing said confidently.
"The Da Qian Celestial Dynasty?" Gu Hai raised his eyebrows.
"Our Elite Hall, the Shenji Battalion, and some other organizations are the foreign affairs departments of the Da Qian Celestial Dynasty. They are in charge of handling the miscellaneous matters of the Da Qian Celestial Dynasty. The Elite Hall Master, starting from my mother, is the Marquis Division. One of the ten External Affairs Departments. Unfortunately, it has declined somewhat in my hands! "Long Wanqing sighed slightly.
Gu Hai nodded.
"Senior Unborn Man, prepare to come with me to meet my maternal grandfather. We will be leaving soon. After meeting my maternal grandfather and checking the materials of the two letters, I will come and inform you," Long Wanqing said with some reluctance as she looked at Gu Hai.
"That's fine." Gu Hai nodded.
After saying goodbye, Long Wanqing's group boarded the flying ship and rushed into the distance.
After sending off the group, Gu Hai gave some instructions before heading to the Soaring Pagoda to enter closed-door cultivation. Gu Hai sat in the Soaring Pagoda with a large number of experts guarding the outside world.
The Outline of the Celestial Dynasty laid out before him.
"The royal seal is supreme, the divine tool of the nation. It stabilizes the nation's Luck and establishes the world! The Dragon Luring Jade hides the Dragon Veins of the land. With blood as the guide, the mind as the soul, and the Numinous Treasure as the source, fuse them into one. The supreme royal seal is heavy, and the lowly royal seal is light. After fusing, they will take form and worship. After establishing the nation, temper it with energy and strengthen the royal seal and the treasure. Both can be strengthened! "
Gu Hai repeated these words.
Xiao Chen looked at the Dragon Luring Jade in his hand. According to the Outline of the Celestial Dynasty, he still needed a treasure to fuse with it, using blood as the guide and the mind to pour in. Fuse it into an imperial seal?
What treasure should he use?
Li Haoran and Ding Rui had many treasures in their storage spaces. However, Gu Hai did not care for them.
After thinking for a while, Gu Hai reached out and touched his forehead.
"Buzz!"
The black Go stone that brought Gu Hai from Earth to this world suddenly appeared in his forehead space.
As Gu Hai held the black Go stone, he remained silent for a while.
"The stronger the Numinous Treasure, the stronger the imperial seal? I wonder how effective this black Go stone will be if I fuse it into the imperial seal, "Gu Hai said seriously.
Xiao Chen extended his hand and made a cut with his fingertip. Blood wrapped around the black Go stone and slowly brought it to the Dragon Luring Jade.
"Buzz!"
When the Dragon Luring Jade came in contact with the blood, it seemed to come to life. The Dragon Luring Jade greedily sucked in Gu Hai's blood. At the same time, nine small, jade-shaped dragon heads appeared on the Dragon Luring Jade. The dragon heads waved their claws and rushed to consume the black Go stone.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the black Go stone gave off a black light, which instantly filled the Dragon Luring Jade.
"Roar!"
The dragon vein in the Dragon Luring Jade seemed to fear this black light, letting out a long, painful roar.
Gu Hai quickly infused his consciousness into the Dragon Luring Jade through the blood.
Slowly, as the blood and the black Go stone merged with the Dragon Luring Jade, Xiao Chen's consciousness connected with it as well. It seemed like he could slowly control the Dragon Luring Jade.
Gradually, the spherical Dragon Luring Jade turned into a square. Nine dragons circled the square, each showing a ferocious expression as they faced the black Go stone in the center.
As the black Go stone merged with the Dragon Luring Jade, it instantly dyed the entire Dragon Luring Jade black. The outline of a black imperial seal appeared.
Gurgle …!
Surging blood flowed into the nine-dragon imperial seal. Slowly, eight large, scarlet words appeared at the bottom of the seal.
"Receiving the mandate of heaven, long life and prosperity!"
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Under Xiao Chen's control, the imperial seal slowly took form and gave off a faint jade-colored light.
Perhaps it was because the black Go stone was too precious. The moment the imperial seal was refined, it felt like it weighed a ton.
Boom!
The imperial seal landed on the ground in front of Gu Hai.
Rumble …!
Suddenly, a loud sound rang out.
The gigantic Soaring Pagoda collapsed with a loud rumble under the great pressure.
"What?" Gu Hai's expression changed as he reached out to grab the imperial seal.
Perhaps it was because Gu Hai was the one who refined the imperial seal. Although Gu Hai struggled to grab the imperial seal, he could still hold it in his hand.
However, the Soaring Pagoda was not spared. It suddenly collapsed, causing the expressions of everyone in the Gu Residence to change.
"Adoptive Father!" Guqin cried out in the distance.
"Everyone, do not come over!" A loud shout came from the rubble.
Guqin, Shangguan Hen, Chen Tianshan, and the others stopped in their tracks, revealing shocked expressions.
Gu Hai was trapped in a small space in the depths of the rubble.
However, Gu Hai did not care. Instead, he flipped his hand and tested the imperial seal again. Then, he pressed it against the ground.
Boom!
A strong suppressive force spread out in all directions from the rubble. The strong suppressive force caused the ground around the Gu Residence to tremble as if there was an earthquake.
Everyone outside revealed horrified expressions. They did not know what Gu Hai was doing in there.
Below the black jade imperial seal were the words, "Blessed by the heavens, live a long and prosperous life." Satisfaction flashed in Gu Hai's eyes as he said, "From today onwards, you will be called the Heaven Suppressing Divine Seal. You will guard the world for me!"
Buzz! The pitch-black Heaven Suppressing Divine Seal trembled slightly as if it was responding to Gu Hai.
Gu Hai gently placed the Heaven Suppressing Divine Seal on his forehead.
"Buzz!"
Just like the black Go stone from before, the Heaven Suppressing Divine Seal strangely entered the space between Xiao Chen's eyebrows.
Without the black Go stone in the space between Xiao Chen's eyebrows, the white crystal fragment seemed to become restless, wanting to flee.
Boom!
The Heaven Suppressing Divine Seal suddenly appeared and pressed down on the white crystal. The white crystal immediately stabilized.
The Heaven Suppressing Divine Seal hovered in the air, looking down on the world. Below, the thirty-thousand-odd Go boards continued merging.
After the Heaven Suppressing Divine Seal entered the space between Gu Hai's eyebrows, Gu Hai sank his consciousness into it again.
"Roar!"
The dragon vein in the Heaven Suppressing Divine Seal roared. However, the black Go stone's might was too horrifying. It suppressed the dragon vein until it could not resist. Now, the dragon vein roared in pain. When Gu Hai's consciousness entered, the dragon vein seemed to calm down significantly.
"The black Go stone is indeed an incredible treasure. After it entered the Heaven Suppressing Divine Seal, it actually suppressed the dragon vein and made it so easy to refine? I can completely refine the dragon vein in less than a year? At that time, I can enlarge the dragon vein and raise a dragon underground? "Satisfaction flashed in Gu Hai's eyes.
Boom!
A loud sound rang out as Gu Hai broke free of the rubble around him. He slowly walked out of the rubble.
