Chapter 2441 Oh Hei Cheng *Edited

"Wait." Genesis Lotus said: "How does that explain how we are going to quickly train up Ma Hong Yun?"

"Ah!" Red Lotus and Star Constellation exclaimed.

"My bad," Red Lotus apologized: "I was very interested with the secrets of the Past since, every time I tried to explore it, I would get blocked by some force, now with the Dao of Spacetime I can sense that the interference is related to Daos."

"I'll take it from here."

Star Constellation nodded.

"You see, to train up Great Dream Immortal Venerable in all Paths the Heavenly Dao was going to swallow up the entire Gu World in Dream Realms."

!!!

Covering the entire world in Dream Realms!

This piece of news was deeply shocking.

Red Lotus continued: "In Fate's original plan, the world would be slowly covered in Dream Realms, so that all races have time to learn the dos and don'ts regarding Dreams, giving them all a chance, while Fate also gave Feng Jin Huang multiple advantages, Dream Wings Gu being the most obvious."

"The Heavenly Dao has already moved forward the start date of the Great Era, it is now trying to raise up Feng Jin Huang as quickly as possible, likely running ahead of schedule since Fate no longer exists."

Red Lotus explained his plan: "We use the subsequent Dream Realms to boost Ma Hong Yun to Great-Grandmaster attainment level."

Genesis Lotus scratched his chin: "It's a good plan but achieving higher than Great-Grandmaster is where the difficulty really escalates."

Star Constellation nodded: "That's where this comes into play."

"T-this! How did you get your hands on it?"

What Star Constellation was holding in her hands was the only thing in the world that could allow one to directly jump to Supreme Grandmaster.

Primordial Domain!

Genesis Lotus exclaimed: "Didn't you transact the last portion of Primordial Domain with Fang Yuan? How is it in your hands right now?"

At that moment,

"Hmm? Star Constellation's piece of Primordial Domain is missing?" Fang Yuan began to make deductions.

"It seems the method she left behind was not simple, does that mean she managed to find Treasure Yellow Heaven's location?" Fang Yuan began to seriously ponder, while also inspecting Giant Sun's portion.

"Hehe, it involves some secret and deceit, but rest assured Fang Yuan won't be happy about it." Star Constellation chuckled:

"And besides, the amount I gave Fang Yuan is actually only ¼ of this the rest was a 'generous contribution from our new ally; Heaven!"

Far in Spectral Heaven,

Heaven felt a chill running down his back, tickling him to sneeze:

"Achoo!" Winds were stirred up across Spectral Heaven, killing any unfortunate Soul Beast in their path:

"Someone's talking about me!" Heaven had deep and vast connections, he could sense the intentions behind the words of every living being, as long as they didn't hide in their Blessed Land or had other forms of blocking the Heavenly Dao, thus he deduced silently and found it was Star Constellation.

Since they were 'allies' Star Constellation decided to tease him by having her words ooze so much sarcasm that they reached his ears.

"This damn!" Heaven was in a bad mood; he had recently been shown up by a mere 'mortal' and now had to work together with these 'mortals.'

Worse, they actually dared extort him under the pretence of 'contribution' and 'sincerity'

"Hmph! That was the last bit or Primordial Domain in the Gu World it would take eons to create more." But Heaven didn't really mind since attainment levels were useless to him.

"Wait till this is all over…"

In Longevity Heaven,

Giant Sun was instructing his two most promising children.

Light Emperor and Hei Lou Lan.

Giant Sun actually went through the trouble of adopting Hei Lou Lan!

Even though she was already a distant relative, Giant Sun still decided to adopt into his line of direct succession.

Now her authority already surpassed the 8 Extremities and 4 Desolation.

She was only below Giant Sun himself!

"Thank You Lord Ances…"

Giant Sun cut her off, waving his hand: "It's nothing, you've proven yourself to be a true successor of the Huang Jin Bloodline and also it's no longer Lord Ancestor, it's Lord Father."

Hei Lou Lan was stunned, she couldn't imagine her life-changing so much.

From her days of hiding in her own clan, about to be used as a human furnace [1] by her own Father, to being enslaved by Fang Yuan, then Shadow Sect to finally being able to peer down upon the world.

It felt good!

"I have a present for you daughter," Giant Sun calling her by 'daughter' really cemented it for her.

But soon she heard the sound of ruffling and kicking.

The 12 Extremities and 4 Desolations walked into the room.

They seemed to be following strict orders, as they walked uniformly and resembled an army platoon.

"Lord Giant Sun, Prince Light Emperor, Princess Hei Lou Lan" the 4 Desolations greeted, with a bow, while the 8 Extremities knelt:

"We have brought the accused," they tossed a sack that was wiggling and constantly letting out muffled screams.

The bag was cut open by one of the 8 Extremities, revealing…

Hei Cheng!

Hei Lou Lan's Father!

He was once an incredibly handsome man, though now he had ruffled hair and a swollen face.

It was not easy to capture a Gu Immortal alive, but with the combined might of these 12, it was a piece of cake.

In fact, Hei Cheng didn't know until the last minute that he was captured, he had 'accidentally' stepped into an entrapment formation.

"What's going on?!? Do you know who I am?" Hei Cheng swung wildly around, as he found he could not mobilize any of his Immortal Essence.

He was faced away from Giant Sun's throne, thus he only noticed Hei Lou Lan first:

"Hei Lou Lan! You unfilial daughter! To think you would hire so many people to beat up your own father! What do you plan to fill me? Your last blood relative?"

Hei Cheng's outburst caused him to receive death stares from everyone, especially Hei Lou Lan:

"This idiot doesn't even know who he's standing before!!!"

Hei Cheng decided to take the high ground not knowing that he was already in the pits of hell.

Hei Lou Lan was flabbergasted, then infuriated: "What right do you have to bring up Blood relation now? After taking the life of my mother? After abandoning me with your mistress? Who treated me poorly, sealed my cultivation and forced me to disguise myself as a guy? And to think you were even planning to to…" Hei Lou Lan found it hard to say that last point, as she often had nightmares in the past about what her own father was going to do to her.

Suddenly, a loud voice boomed from above: "Enough!"

Everybody's knelt to the ground, whereas Hei Cheng was slammed.

Hei Cheng nervously turned his head to see…

Giant Sun Immortal Venerable sitting on the Dragon Throne of 9 and 5

"L-L-L-Lord Ancestor!!!" Hei Cheng immediately kotowed so hard, that his head could almost pop through the floor.

"Hei Cheng," Giant Sun used his cultivation to magnify his voice: "Do you know your crime."

Giant Sun announce it as if the conclusion was set in stone:

"N-N—No your divine greatness, punish me however you see fit," Of course, Hei Cheng was not suicidal enough to directly question or feign ignorance with Giant Sun Immortal Venerable.

"First, I'll see what the punishment is about, as long as it's not my life then I can stomach it and" while Hei Cheng was scheming:

"Very well, I sentence Hei Cheng to death."

!!!

Hei Cheng immediately collapsed to the floor and prostrated himself: "Y---Your majesty what crime have I committed that deserved such a strict punishment??"

"Oh? You dare question this great one?" Giant Sun did not answer.

"Of course not! I was just lamenting the fact that I would offend your majesty to a point that is unreconcilable."

Giant Sun was amused: "Your tongue is a verily as they say it would be. Fine, you want to know what crime you committed?"

Hei Cheng didn't dare respond.

"Simple. You offended my daughter, Hei Lou Lan."

!!!

"E-Er y-y-your majesty i-is this some sort of sick joke?"

Before Giant Sun could react, one of the 4 Desolations immediately slammed Hei Cheng back into the ground:

"YOU DARE QUESTION HIS LORD GIANT SUN!"

From the ground Hei Cheng shook his head: "I wouldn't dare I wouldn't dare."

Giant Sun waved his hand, "Hei Cheng I give you one chance."

Hei Cheng immediately popped up from the ground, his face filled with cuts making him look incredibly pathetic:

"Anything your majesty anything!"

"Cripple yourself and give your blessed land and Immortal Gu to MY daughter Hei Lou Lan,"

Hei Cheng's last ray of hope was instantly dashed: "M-my l-lord,"

Giant Sun's glare petrified Hei Cheng:

"Y-y-yes lord, I oblige." Hei Cheng severed this Blessed Land and handed it over to Hei Lou Lan.

Hei Lou Lan kept the Blessed Land, using methods that Giant Sun gave her.

"T-then this one shall take his leave," Hei Cheng cupped his fist, his body and stance was weak and his face was pale.

"Not so fast," Hei Lou Lan grabbed his shoulder.

"W-what daugh," but before he could finish his sentence Hei Lou Lan punched his chest, piercing his heart:

"I am not your daughter, I am the daughter of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, as an act of mercy I shall grant you death." Hei Lou Lan said as she retracted her hand, Desolate Extremity walked up to her with a towel and cleaned her hands.

Giant Sun nodded: "Well done daughter, your karma is fully resolved, you are no longer linked to Hei Cheng or the Hei Clan. You are now my daughter."

"Daughter, what do you plan to do with this Aperture?" Giant Sun asked.

Hei Lou Lan thought about it: "The Dark Path Immortal aperture has no use to me. I plan to trade it back to the Hei Tribe for a more useful Immortal Gu, if they don't possess a Gu I need I'll either take Immortal Materials or find some other tribe or Gu Immortal."

Giant Sun interjected: "It's a good plan if you were a normal cultivator, but you possess one of Reckless Savage's inheritance, and thus, one of his best traits, cultivate any path!"

"In fact, you have the perk of being able to make Totem Path Killer Moves permanently attach to your Supreme King Totem," Giant Sun explained: "You can absorb the Dark Path Dao Marks of the Aperture into your Supreme King Totem, allowing you to incorporate Dark Path into your attacks!"

Hei Lou Lan bowed to Lord Giant Sun: "Thank you Lord Father for your kindness, I will repay you however much it cost to acquire Hei Cheng."

Giant smiled, "So she knew."

"It's okay my daughter I did not want you to have any lingering regrets, it was only a small matter." Giant Sun lied, his heart still bled.

[2] Earlier on the Stone Continent,

"Oh, Fang Yuan one more thing,"

Fang Yuan turned around: "Hmm?"

"I know you possess Hei Cheng and well Uhm I was wondering if you could *cough* give him to me."

A wide grin appeared on Fang Yuan's face: "Of course,"

"Really! Thanks, I," Before Giant Sun could finish he saw the greedy expression, coupled with Fang Yuan rubbing his index finger against his thumb:

"*Sigh* How much."

[1] If you read cultivation manhua, you'll know what it means 😉 if not then... well I forgot the chapter it was from but basically, Hei Lou Lan's father stole her Mother's lifespan, through a lifespan extension method that drained life through intercourse sooooooo yea

[2] For those that read the chapter alr I need to apologise for the error regarding Hei Cheng, I neglected to properly investigate his background, in the OG he's supposed to be trapped in FY aperture so this was the best way I could think of to resolve how he got out. Also, I removed mention of Dark Arrow Gu. Apologies once again.
