Everlasting Immortal Firmament

Book 07 Chapter 127: Death and Life Register



Book 07 Chapter 127: Death and Life Register

After his Heaven’s eye closed, Gu Hai sat cross-legged at the summit of a tall mountain in the Gu’s Immortal Firmament, carefully examining the laws within the immortal firmament.

The Gu’s Immortal Firmament had laws, but they were far from comparable to the Six Path Immortal Firmament’s.

Because he grasped the Gu’s Immortal Firmament, he could meditate and comprehend the laws.

Gu Hai focused on sensing the Go Dao laws.

He could lay the Thirty-Five Line-Pair World Ritual Array with the Six Paths Immortal Firmament’s laws. However, he could only lay the Thirty-Three Line-Pair World Go Puzzle with the Gu’s Immortal Firmament’s laws. He found that strange.

Gu Hai followed his comprehension of the Go Dao laws. After studying them for two days—twenty years in the Gu’s Immortal Firmament—he finally found what was different from the Gu’s Immortal Firmament’s laws.

If the Six Paths Immortal Firmament’s Go Dao laws were an aged tree, the Gu’s Immortal Firmament’s Go Dao laws would be a branch on this tree.

The Gu’s Immortal Firmament’s laws were incomplete, substandard, merely a section of the law.

“The Gu’s Immortal Firmament’s laws are like a branch of a complete tree. They cannot be called laws, only rules, at best?” Gu Hai said seriously.

Gu Hai continued studying the laws.

“The Gu’s Immortal Firmament has three thousand kinds of rules? Does the Six Paths Immortal Firmament have three thousand kinds of laws too? Three thousand great Dao? The Gu’s Immortal Firmament only skimmed the surface?” Gu Hai analyzed.

While Gu Hai could differentiate these three thousand kinds of rules, he could not fully understand them that quickly.

Gu Hai focused on the Go Dao rules, wanting to patch them into Go Dao laws. However, it was not that easy. He could create a vague silhouette in his mind, but he could not manifest it.

“It is not that easy to strengthen an immortal firmament.” Gu Hai sighed slightly.

Since Gu Hai could make no headway, he started studying other things. He extended his hand, and ten large transparent fragments flew over from a distance. These were the debris from when Essence Genesis crushed the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon’s secret realm immortal firmament.

Although they did not have three thousand laws like the Gu’s Immortal Firmament did, they were very similar to the Gu’s Immortal Firmament in form. Then he waved his hand.

Buzz!

The Gu’s Immortal Firmament started to consume these fragments slowly.

As the Gu’s Immortal Firmament consumed, its space became slightly larger. However, the changes were minute.

Ten immortal firmament fragments were not that easy to consume. Even when Gu Hai controlled the immortal firmament with all his might, it consumed only one percent after ten years in the Gu’s Immortal Firmament.

“Since it is slow, just take your time to consume them, then.” Gu Hai set this aside, letting the Gu’s Immortal Firmament slowly wear down these ten fragments.

Buzz!

Gu Hai waved his hand, summoning a book shining with white light. This was the Heavenly Soul Register he snatched from Emperor Kong and Mister Starless.

The Heavenly Soul Register?

When Gu Hai first saw this title, he had not hesitated to make a move. He had a Mortal Soul Register and an Earthly Soul Register. Although he had not figured anything out from the two over the years, it was easy to see a connection from their names.

Gu Hai opened his mouth and immediately sent the Heavenly Soul Register to his heavenly soul. Then his heavenly soul grabbed it.

Buzz!

His heavenly soul suddenly flared with a dazzling white light when it grabbed the Heavenly Soul Register. At the same time, a strange energy rushed into his heavenly soul.

The sudden change startled Gu Hai.

Buzz! Buzz!

Just as Gu Hai’s heavenly soul was about to toss the Heavenly Soul Register aside, the Mortal Soul Register and the Earthly Soul Register simultaneously gave off a dazzling white light and sent a stream of energy into his mortal soul and earthly soul, respectively.

The three books shone, which made Gu Hai suppress his impulse to toss the Heavenly Soul Register aside.

The energy pouring into his three spiritual souls made them feel extremely comfortable.

Gu Hai suspected these three books sensed each other through his three spiritual souls. That meant a person had to hold all three books for them to resonate through that person’s three spiritual souls.

Buzz!

After the three books resonated, they slowly flew out of Gu Hai’s mouth and hovered in the air. However, he sensed his three spiritual souls maintained a mysterious connection with the three books.

The three books shook as they approached each other.

Boom!

The three books touched, and a blinding flash of light erupted. They strangely melted and slowly merged, re-forming and eventually returning to the shape of a book; the three books had become one.

Now, it was a book with white jade inlays, giving off nine-colored light.

There were large words on the cover of the book.

“The Death and Life Register?” Gu Hai said in shock.

It was not the Life and Death Register Gu Hai had heard of on Earth. Instead, it was reversed, the Death and Life Register.

The Death and Life Register connected to Gu Hai’s three spiritual souls, allowing him to control it with his will.

There was a row of fine print on the back of the Death and Life Register.

“The infinite birthed one; death came first before life appeared. After Heaven recorded the great Dao, the Dao were wiped away to forge an immortal origin. The immortal origin controls the immortal firmament; henceforth, this split into three.” A gleam flashed in Gu Hai’s eyes as he looked at this row of words.

Gu Hai did not know who wrote these words, but he instantly understood the origins of this Death and Life Register from these words.

The infinite referred to the void, and the one referred to the world.

A world was born in the void. At first, it was lifeless. Then it became filled with life.

This Death and Life Register was born with the world, recording the three thousand Dao of the world. Someone erased the records of the three thousand Dao, refining them into the immortal origin. Whoever obtained the immortal origin controlled the world. After the Death and Life Register lost the records of the three thousand Dao, it split into the books, the Heavenly Soul Register, the Earthly Soul Register, and the Mortal Soul Register.

“The Death and Life Register once recorded all the laws of the three thousand Dao?” Gu Hai was shocked.

He flipped open the Death and Life Register with his thoughts. Indeed, there were three thousand-odd pages in the Death and Life Register. Each page probably corresponded to a Dao. However, the three thousand pages were currently blank.

Blank?

Gu Hai tried to control the Gu’s Immortal Firmament’s rules, and they slowly reflected in the Death and Life Register.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Strange patterns appeared on the Death and Life Register. All three thousand pages contained a strange pattern.

“All the rules I can control can be reflected in the Death and Life Register?” Gu Hai’s eyes lit up as his heart trembled.

The three thousand pages did not get filled up. Clearly, the three thousand Dao consisted of more than just these branches.

“I can still use the Go Dao laws! That’s right, the Corpse Mound World!” Gu Hai suddenly felt excited.

Gu Hai immediately stepped out of the Gu’s Immortal Firmament. After leaving the hall, he sought out the Unborn Man to return to the nether realm. He could not wait to head to the Corpse Mound World.

“Unborn Man, wait outside,” Gu Hai instructed.

“Yes!” The Unborn Man remained outside in confusion.

After entering, Gu Hai immediately took out the Death and Life Register.

“Since all the Dao records in this were erased, I shall make new records. I can’t do anything about the other laws, but I can use the Go Dao laws here!” Gu Hai narrowed his eyes.

After speaking, Gu Hai waved his hand.

Boom!

Boundless Go Dao laws quickly poured into the Death and Life Register. However, while they only passed through the Death and Life Register, a page in it slowly recorded them incredibly clearly. Millions of densely packed lines filled that page. As one looked at it, it felt like one’s souls would be sucked in.

One day later, Gu Hai stepped out of the Corpse Mound World with satisfaction.

“Your Reverence, did something happen?” the Unborn Man asked out of curiosity.

“It’s fine. Let’s go. Let’s return to Borderless Heavenly Capital,” Gu Hai said, itching to get on with it.

“Yes!” the Unborn Man answered.

The two returned to Borderless Heavenly Capital, and Gu Hai went into seclusion.

While in seclusion, Gu Hai returned to the Gu’s Immortal Firmament. Then he looked at the page filled with the Go Dao laws’ patterns in the Death and Life Register.

“It recorded the Go Dao laws. This is not what I visualized earlier; instead, it perfectly recorded the Go Dao laws. If so, can I fuse the complete Go Dao laws into this Gu’s Immortal Firmament?”

Gu Hai immediately acted on his thought, controlling the Death and Life Register to connect with the Gu’s Immortal Firmament. The page containing the Go Dao laws fused with the Gu’s Immortal Firmament.

Boom!

A loud sound rang out in the Gu’s Immortal Firmament. Then a dense, transparent web appeared in the world. This was the form of the Go Dao laws, but merging it with this world would not be that easy.

Gu Hai’s expression changed. “No, there’s form without a foundation. It is just the image of some laws; it cannot truly become laws. Does it need energy to make the Go Dao laws turn material?”

Boom!

The sound came from a distant sea where the two hundred billion superior-grade spirit stones Gu Qin earned in the Spirit Mountain Holy Land were. A suction suddenly pulled the energy in the vast number of spirit stones into the Go Dao laws’ image. Then the image suddenly released a dazzling white light, instantly illuminating the world.

“The spirit stones’ energy can fill the form of the Go Dao laws?” Gu Hai’s eyes brightened.

Indeed, as the Go Dao laws continuously absorbed the spirit stones’ energy, the Gu’s Immortal Firmament’s Go Dao laws increased, with more branches appearing, slowly completing the law tree.

Rumble…!

As the Go Dao laws perfected and materialized, massive changes occurred in the world.

In just ten days, the entire Gu’s Immortal Firmament doubled in size. The immortal firmament grew larger.

Gu Hai immediately stood up, looking at the changes in the world with pleasant surprise.

All the citizens in the Gu’s Immortal Firmament were alarmed, appearing terrified.

“Everyone, listen up. We are expanding the world. There’s no need to panic. Wait in an open space and protect yourselves!”

Gu Hai’s voice immediately rang out throughout the Gu’s Immortal Firmament.

“Yes! Heaven is expanding the world?”

“That scared me. I thought it was the end of the world.”

“There’s no need to worry. Everything will be fine soon.”

Despite having only heard Gu Hai’s voice not long ago, the Gu’s Immortal Firmament’s citizens had already accepted this Heaven, so their unease soon dissipated as they quickly adjusted to the situation.

The Gu’s Immortal Firmament expanded, quickly draining the two hundred billion superior-grade spirit stones to perfect the Go Dao laws. At the same time, space stretched and slowly thinned.

“Oh no! If the immortal firmament keeps expanding, space will become thin and might rip. The Gu’s Immortal Firmament might bloat and explode because of the Go Dao laws!” Gu Hai’s face sank.

Just then, the Gu’s Immortal Firmament’s consumption of the Purple Jade Heavenly Demon’s secret realm immortal firmament fragments suddenly increased.

Rumble…!

The Gu’s Immortal Firmament consumed ten percent of the fragments in mere moments, which immediately replenished the thinned space.

“These fragments? Hah! This is timely! They made up for the deficiency in space caused by the immortal firmament’s expansion!” Gu Hai inwardly sighed in relief.

As the Gu’s Immortal Firmament digested the secret realm immortal firmament fragments, it grew larger. The Go Dao laws in the Gu’s Immortal Firmament now appeared perfectly.

Gu Hai had finally found a way to strengthen his Gu’s Immortal Firmament.
