Book 6: Chapter 073: Guan Qi’s Game
Guan Qi’s nine inheritors immediately felt flustered and at a loss. However, no one dared attack Old Mister Guan Qi.
The expressions of the Heavenly Go Pavilion disciples, Prime Feng Yue, and the black tortoises changed.
What’s going on? The pavilion master wants to kill the nine inheritors?
The surrounding experts were startled and bewildered.
The situation had deviated from everyone’s expectations. Aren’t these nine Old Mister Guan Qi’s disciples?
Old Mister Guan Qi looked at the nine with a grave cast to his eyes.
Boom!
A loud sound rang out in the sky like a huge thunderbolt striking the Thousand Islands Sea’s ritual array. The beams of rainbow light trembled and quickly parted.
Everyone looked up and saw a gigantic eye appear in the crack in the rainbow light.
Heaven’s eye?
When Heaven’s eye appeared, an overwhelming pressure rushed down, inspiring an urge to kneel in the countless experts.
“Guan Qi? You aren’t dead yet?” A roar rang out in the sky.
The expressions of Gu Hai and the others changed. The Six Paths Immortal awakened again?
The Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access narrowed his eyes, showing overwhelming battle hunger. “This is the Six Paths Immortal?”
When the heavenly might pressed down, Old Mister Guan Qi smiled faintly and waved. “Six Paths, the game is about to start!”
Boom!
The earlier rainbow light filled the sky again, covering the barrier. Heaven’s eye disappeared from view. The pressure from the heavenly might vanished as well.
Everyone felt the surrounding rainbow light spinning wildly.
The entire Thousand Islands Sea seemed to be floating, moving quickly. Everyone’s heart pounded heavily.
“Something’s not right. What is this feeling? Even my heart is pounding?” the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access said with an unsightly expression.
“What?” Gu Hai’s face sank as he looked at the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access.
How strong was the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access? He was someone whose mind had been tempered to be as stable as the ground. Nevertheless, his heart was pounding?
It was not just the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access. The expressions of the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s Heavenly Access, the Three Lives Buddhas, Jiang Lianshan, and Ji Dihong changed dramatically.
“Old Mister Guan Qi, what are you doing?” the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access asked while glowering.
“The Revival Convention? I’m not participating anymore. I’m leaving. I won’t accompany you all in this craziness!” A sect master soared into the sky as his expression changed.
Now, everyone noticed a vast barrier around the Thousand Islands Sea. That sect master soared into the sky to break through the barrier.
Bang!
No sooner had that sect master touched the barrier than he turned into scattered sand and exploded, leaving nothing but dust.
Gasp! The expressions of the countless experts in the surroundings changed.
“Don’t act rashly and try to barge out,” Old Mister Guan Qi said with a faint smile.
——
Outside the Thousand Islands Sea:
The many experts that did not participate in the Revival Convention looked around.
Dark clouds covered the sky, lightning flashed, and thunder roared. A powerful, destructive might approached the Revival Convention.
Just then, the Thousand Islands Sea’s barrier suddenly gave off rainbow light that swirled around the barrier exceptionally quickly. The surrounding seawater splashed.
The hearts of the experts outside pounded. They did not know what had happened.
Boom!
All at once, the boundless thundercloud parted in the middle.
Buzz!
A colossal eye appeared.
A vast pressure accompanying Heaven’s eye tore the top of the barrier. When Heaven’s eye saw the tear, it immediately entered.
At the same time, the countless experts in the surroundings knelt, their expressions changing.
Heaven’s eye? This is Heaven’s eye? Has Old Mister Guan Qi come back to life? Now that Heaven’s eye has appeared, Old Mister Guan Qi is dead for sure.
“Guan Qi? You aren’t dead yet?” A roar rang out in the sky.
It was Heaven’s furious cry.
All the experts trembled at Heaven’s fury. When Heaven shouted in rage, their souls almost scattered from the shock. The heavenly might was horrific.
Buzz!
Just as everyone anticipated a massive battle, the rainbow light above the barrier expanded and closed the tear that Heaven’s eye opened.
The flowing rainbow light accelerated.
Whoosh!
The barrier vanished instantly—no, the entire Thousand Islands Sea vanished. All the islands, even the seawater, vanished.
“Huh?” Heaven’s eye constricted.
The Thousand Islands Sea vanished as though dug out, leaving a massive pit behind.
Whoosh!
Boundless seawater rushed in to fill the void, kicking up huge waves.
“It’s gone? How can it be gone? The islands are gone as well?” The experts’ expressions changed.
Heaven stared at that spot. It had indeed vanished. A cold light flashed in Heaven’s eye.
“Humph!” Heaven let out a cold snort.
Heaven’s eye slowly closed, and the surrounding dark clouds scattered.
The heavenly might disappeared.
Now, all the experts could stand up. When they saw the empty Thousand Islands Sea, they all gulped.
It took ten days for the seawater to refill the Thousand Islands Sea’s area. Furthermore, all the islands were gone.
The countless experts that entered the Thousand Islands Sea had vanished along with it. Not a single one remained.
At the same time, an earthshaking matter took place on the Divine Continent.
Borderless Heavenly Capital:
Boom!
Borderless Heavenly Capital’s blessings suddenly scattered with a loud sound, including that large golden blessings dragon.
“What happened? The blessings disappeared again?” The countless officials revealed horrified expressions.
The citizens also felt flustered. The blessings disappeared again? Something happened?
“Duke! The blessings vanished. Did His Reverence…”
“Duke, things are bad! The blessings vanished!”
“Duke!”
Fortunately, this had already happened once in the Han Nation. Chen Tianshan did not get flustered.
“What is all the noise about? It’s not like this has not happened before! Why are you shouting?” Chen Tianshan glared.
“But—”
“No buts! His Reverence entered closed-door cultivation with the blessings. Who dares to claim anything else? Send out a notice. All officials are to do their best to calm the citizens. Execute anyone who dares to cause a commotion among the people and make accusations of our sovereign!” Chen Tianshan shouted.
“Huh? Yes!”
“Go do whatever you are supposed to be doing!” Chen Tianshan glared.
“Yes! Yes!”
The Mosquito Daoist looked at the sky in confusion. “Imperial Emperor Gu, why do you keep doing this? My heart can’t take it!”
The Han Nation soon calmed down.
However, chaos broke out elsewhere in the world.
The blessings of the Yan Heavenly Dynasty suddenly scattered and vanished, causing chaos in the nation. Countless officials rushed to the Divine Yan Hall.
Jingwei felt incredibly anxious. However, she promised her father to watch over the nation. Naturally, she scolded the officials.
“Does the blessings’ disappearance mean that the sovereign died? Did Gu Hai die when the Han Nation’s blessings vanished previously?” Jingwei scolded while glowering.
The officials felt anxious. “I-I— But—”
“Humph! Just do what you are supposed to do. Anyone who dares claim that His Holy Eminence is dead will have their clan executed!” Jingwei shouted with a glare.
“Yes!” the officials answered.
Fear filled the Huang Heavenly Dynasty, the Wu Imperial Dynasty, the Ying Imperial Dynasty, and even the Spirit Mountain Holy Land.
Experts streamed to the Thousand Islands Sea to make discreet inquiries and dig up news. They tried to contact their sovereigns or sect masters but failed; they could not obtain any information at all.
Ferocious experts from the various factions immediately captured the experts who watched from outside the Thousand Islands Sea and interrogated them, asking them what had happened in the Thousand Islands Sea.
The experts in the Thousand Islands Sea had suddenly vanished. Although the various factions suppressed most of the chaos, unrest still broke out in the Divine Continent.
——
Tengen Island:
A sect master charged into the rainbow light barrier, and his body exploded. It was not a simple mangling of the flesh but more like a reduction to the most fundamental building blocks—separated at the molecular level.
Such a scene panicked everyone within the barrier.
“Old Mister Guan Qi, you plotted against us?”
“Some Revival Convention! You tricked us?!”
“Heavenly Go Pavilion, you are seeking death!”
The experts roared in a fury.
Several people tried to escape, relying on their strength. However, they disintegrated when they soared into the sky. Some tried to charge Old Mister Guan Qi. However, he just waved his hand, and a beam of rainbow light shot over, disintegrating those experts.
The barrier was like a cage trapping everyone. Old Mister Guan Qi was like a god here. Within the cage, he could kill anyone he wanted.
“The Revival Convention? Hah! Guan Qi, why did you trick us all into coming to your Thousand Islands Sea? Do you intend to turn hostile with us all?” Jiang Lianshan asked coldly.
While the surrounding experts were no match for Old Mister Guan Qi, it did not mean that Jiang Lianshan, Ji Dihong, Sect Master Heavenly Access, and the Three Lives Buddhas had no way to resist. Everyone waited for Old Mister Guan Qi’s explanation.
Old Mister Guan Qi let go of Murong Yan and patted her shoulder. Then, he looked at everyone. With a faint smile, he said, “The Revival Convention? I began preparing for today one thousand years ago. Everything is within my control. Of course, there were some minor deviations in the process. However, the overall direction did not change.”
Old Mister Guan Qi looked at Gu Hai with a smile that did not seem like a smile. Apparently, the minor deviations referred to Gu Hai.
“Began preparing one thousand years ago? That means the Go match against Heaven back then was just a part of your plan?” Ji Dihong frowned.
“You could say that.” Old Mister Guan Qi smiled.
“Did you deliberately leave the Go puzzle that is the Thousand Islands Sea? To lay today’s barrier?” Gu Hai frowned.
“That’s right.” Old Mister Guan Qi nodded.
The surrounding experts showed unsightly expressions. This Old Mister Guan Qi was truly scheming. To think that he had planned this far ahead.
“You still have not told us why you gathered us here. Are you not afraid of us becoming enemies with you?” the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s Heavenly Access said coldly.
“Actually, I already told Six Paths just now. I invited everyone here to participate in a game.” Old Mister Guan Qi smiled.
“A game?” The faces of the surrounding people stiffened.
“I have no time to play games with you!” the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s Heavenly Access said coldly.
“It is not about whether you are willing or not. Rather, it has already started. No one can withdraw now. Withdrawing means death, no matter who you are!” Old Mister Guan Qi suddenly revealed a cold smile.
