Dao Equaling the Heavens
Chapter 407 - 27 Return to the Heavenly Court

Chapter 407: Chapter 27 Return to the Heavenly Court

The next morning.

Gu Wen awoke from his drunken stupor, his head buzzing, still holding a white jade liquor bottle that was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.

Glancing around, he found himself already lying in an elegant and luxurious bedroom. Hmm

At the thought, he left his mortal mode in a breath’s time, and all symptoms of a hangover vanished.

Gu Wen’s gaze, at that moment, enveloped the entire Qianfeng Sect. He saw Lu Chan carrying breakfast over, and also saw Chi Yu Zi lying on the ground with her legs up in the air next door. He saw what Xuan Yue, Xie Yunnan, and tens of thousands of Qianfeng female disciples were doing at that moment.

In an instant, it was as if he had thousands of eyes, and everything inevitably came into his view. Even the dust particles floating in the air were accounted for by Gu Wen—he knew how many trillion there were and where.

Such an endless feeling of overview, even a Venerable would go mad in an instant.

But Gu Wen could maintain his composure with ease; in the next mutual, he returned to his mortal state.

Just as Lu Chan deliberately suppressed her cultivation to be sure she was still in the real world, Gu Wen also used the same method to suppress his state, but his aim was to still be human.

Otherwise, if he constantly maintained the state of a Saint, all the things in the world would appear to him as energies of different colors and shapes, and even Gu Wen’s own body would be considered a bundle of energy. His vision would ascend high into the sky, embracing and overseeing everything, much like the Heavenly Dao itself.

Gu Wen didn’t know how the Heaven and Earth Two Saints looked in the past, but speaking of Jianmu alone, it was currently acting as an existence that represented a realm of heaven and earth.

If it hadn’t been for the Human Race possessing Spirit Veins to compete with Jianmu for the Earth Vein Spiritual Energy, the land would still be barren today, with Jianmu as the only place for living beings.

Gu Wen was no exception, as he was inevitably merging with heaven and earth. From the Qi Cultivation Realm to the current Golden Core Realm, this was his progress in understanding the laws of heaven and earth.

In the future, when he reached the Mahayana state, it would be time for Harmonization to become a Great Saint. After that, he felt certain that he could make a trip to the underworld.

But now, Gu Wen wouldn’t always maintain this state, for as a human, it was a form of torture.

Thump, thump, thump!

The door was knocked, and the voice of Lu Chan came through.

"Brother, are you awake?"

"You little demoness, coming over so early to please someone. You got caught by the granny, didn’t you!"

Chi Yu Zi suddenly woke up, dashing out of her room and looking warily at Lu Chan.

The latter smiled and said, "Would you care for a bowl of lotus seed porridge? It’s a special medicinal food of Qianfeng Sect and quite rare in the outside world."

Chi Yu Zi, smelling the fragrance, lost much of her aggressive air and said, "I’ll taste it for Gu Wen to see if there’s anything strange or peculiar in it. What then?"

At this point, the door opened, and Gu Wen saw Chi Yu Zi squatting on the ground eating the lotus seed porridge.

"Come in and eat. You look like a little dog like that."

"Oh."

Once inside, both were immediately drawn to the white jade bottle on the table.

They saw the bottle, narrow at the top and broad at the bottom, emanating wisps of moonlight. A silver circle on the bottle’s body flickered in and out of sight, its aura incredibly mysterious.

More profound than a Taoist Soldier and more spiritual than a Spiritual Treasure.

"What is this?"

Chi Yu Zi picked up the white jade moonlight liquor bottle, and a whiff of Dao charm emerged, with the moonlight revealing a series of characters.

[Yun Li, with an excellent bone structure, a tender face, with a pure heart undisturbed by external things. However, feigning shyness and being contrary to her words, to speak of her likes is already the extreme.]

[Can be a top-class Chang’e, leading the dance in the moonlight.]

Seeing the words "feigning shyness with insincere flattery," Chi Yu Zi disdainfully said, "What trash, how dare it judge my grandmother?"

The next second, the moonlight transformed.

"Neglected in youth, sensitive due to lack of love, a child Venerable."

Chi Yu Zi was enraged. She turned her head to seek Gu Wen’s opinion and said, "Can I smash it?"

Gu Wen was indifferent and replied, "As you wish, this was the wine pot we used for drinking yesterday. Then somehow, a Heavenly Official Dao Fruit suddenly dropped out of it."

This object should be somewhat similar to her former Fate Diagram, possessing some very magical effect.

And there was the Deity of the Moon who wanted to confer her as one of the Nine Luminaries—could this be an object from the Heavenly Court, and why did it come into her possession?

Hearing this, Chi Yu Zi’s anger abated by half, and somewhat reluctantly, she said, "I can’t take the Pill Furnace from Xuan Yue, but this thing should not be less valuable than the Pill Furnace, right? It seems a pity to smash it. We should keep some treasures for when we retire from the world."

"An understanding child Venerable."

The white jade moonlight wine pot seemed to emit a heartless mockery.

Chi Yu Zi slammed it down hard. The pot bounced up high, then landed in Lu Chan’s hands.

A line of moonlight appeared.

"Lu Chan, pampered and spoiled from childhood, also exceptionally talented. In her youth, she developed an arrogant and haughty personality, but later learned her lesson after being defeated."

Lu Chan frowned and said, "This thing has a sharp tongue, always poking at sore spots. How does it know these things, though?"

Being beaten into realization—could this be the words of a human? Even she felt irritated, for this damaged the image she had in front of Brother Hongchen.

"The splendor of the Dao Fruit is wonderfully mysterious and must be a transformation of the Heavenly Saint Law."

Gu Wen took the white jade moonlight wine pot, and this time no sharp critiques appeared.

Because he actually had the power to crush the white jade moonlight wine pot.

"Where is Xuan Yue?"

Gu Wen tapped his right foot lightly, and the middle-aged Daoist suddenly appeared. He looked clearly flustered at first but then his gaze was immediately captivated by the white jade moonlight wine pot.

"A Heavenly Official Dao Fruit? One of the Nine Luminaries as well, how did it come to be here?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Wen knew he did not know much and cut to the chase, "Spill everything you know."

It wasn’t a question, but a command.

Now that the other party was a prisoner and a half-enemy, Gu Wen was not in the mood to converse with him politely or patiently.

Xuan Yue was a smart man and without much hesitation, he directly said, "Longevity was very simple before. The underworld could extend life at will, and the Heavenly Court had a lot of Immortality Pills. Even a mortal could have a chance at eternal life."

"For example, the Heavenly Officials are classified as The Three Pure Ones, the Four Imperials, the Five Elders, and the Nine Luminaries. All of these positions could lead to eternal youth. Their subordinates, the Heavenly Officials, could also extend their lives by thousands of years without regard to their cultivation level. After the departure of the Celestial Emperor, all Dao Fruits disappeared, some turned into peerless Taoist Soldiers, but without exception, they lost the ability for eternal life."

Gu Wen asked, "Then why have they appeared again now?"

"I don’t know. I thought the Pill Furnace on me was a one-off remnant. But now that even the Immortal Position of the Nine Luminaries has appeared, my clan may become the new Heavenly Court!"

Xuan Yue’s tone became somewhat excited.

Gu Wen asked, "Why?"

Xuan Yue smiled and said, "Does the Saint Venerable know why the Sanqing Taoist Sect is the beginning of the Human Race’s cultivation, and why it is called The Three Pure Ones? Because the Taoist Soldiers transformed from the remaining Heavenly Court’s Immortal Positions are now mostly in the hands of the Human Race."

"If I am not mistaken, the positions of The Three Pure Ones are the treasures of the three schools of the Daoist Sect. We live in good times, perhaps becoming an Immortal is within easy reach, and immortality is not a fantasy!"
