Chapter 7 Imperial court blessed land.

Heaven path comprises everything and balances everything, all living beings, be they immortals or mortals, powerful or weak, are included in heaven path. All kinds of Immortal Gu, Secluded Domains of Heaven and Earth, are also under the restrictions of heaven path. Heaven path controls Calamities and Tribulations, it controls Lifespan Gu. Venerables were powerful for an era, but when compared to heaven path, they are like a burning torch.

Man Tian believes if he has enough attainments in heaven path, human path and refinement path he can maybe deduce how to make endless lifespan gu and maybe in the extreme case even an immortal version of it.

In the past few months Man Tian had been in the Northern plains or at least he did so as a cover.

In the past few months Man Tian had made an avatar killer move with the rank five incarnation gu as the core gu.

Although the avatar had forty to fifty percent of Man Tian's original power it was not weak by any chance.

The avatar could actually fight hundreds of rank fives without breaking a sweat. It was a quasi rank six but if gu immortals heard quasi rank six they would beat him to death.

The avatar went around the four regions to set up inheritances and put the avatars in good well off pregnant women.

Man Tian prepared for everything and even hid the clones from heaven and would even hide them from wisdom path calculations after getting out of the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.

...

"Hahaha brother brother Meng Zhao although this is our first meeting but I feel like we have known each other for eternity." Man Tian said while hugging Meng Zhao.

Meng Zhao answered back while hugging Man Tian "Brother Lin Xiao although we have just met I feel the same way about you."

Meng Zhao was a tall man, with a big frame fair skin long straight black hair reaching his shoulders and small eyes. One could say he looked like the terracotta soldiers of the Qin dynasty, infact most northerners looked almost the same as Meng Zhao.

Meng Zhao set up a big banquet for Man Tian and showed him around the camp and introduced the situation of the northern plains.

"We were originally a little bit behind the Hei and Dong Fang Tribe but now that brother Lin has joined us we are sure of winning."

...

A few days later.

The Hei Tribe and the Dong Fang Tribe joined hands to suppress the Meng tribe after Man Tian joined after all no one wants their enemies to have master enslavement path gu master let alone a quasi grandmaster.

After the three tribes met on the battle field they started building defensive lines after defensive lines.

At this moment, Man Tian looked down from the window of his gu house, seeing large numbers of mortals and Gu masters anxiously setting up their defenses.

Some of them were digging canals, some were growing trees, erecting arrow towers, or building mud walls… a tight defensive line was starting to form.

This was the third line of defense of the Meng tribe alone.

Northern plains' terrain was mostly flat grassland, there were little obstacles and horses could run freely. Thus, since long ago, when two forces in northern plains engage in battle, the moment one side loses, they would not be able to escape, the winner would definitely be able to chase them down.

Once a battle is lost, it would mean that it was the end, a tribe would quickly weaken or even face its demise.

But with a defensive line, the results would be different.

Once a battle is lost, be it retreating and escaping, or avoiding the enemy temporarily, waiting for a chance to counterattack, these defensive lines would have great use.

Battles were a matter of life and death, it decided the fate of the tribes, it was dangerous and hard to predict, one tiny accident or a mistake from either side could result in failure.

At this time, when a tribe retreats and defends according to their defensive line, they would stabilize their footing and would be able to regroup.

This was the world of Gu. An individual had mysterious powers, it was not difficult to construct a long defensive line that was longer than the great wall on Earth.

People soon realized the benefits of these defensive lines.

Because battles in northern plains were not decided quickly, defense battles were much more advantageous than offensive assault.

"According to our intel, Dong Fang tribe is already starting on the growth defensive line, there are still about three thousand li of distance between us. According to their habits, every eight hundred to one thousand li would have a new defensive line." reported a young rank three gu master.

These days, he had been cultivating in closed doors, but he had a firm grasp of the outside information. He was a higher-up of Meng tribe alliance army, everyday there would be Gu Masters coming to give him information.

"Looking at the time, tomorrow our vanguards will meet and begin the battle. But there is still some time before I strike."

Man Tian was guarding the central camp now with Meng Zhao and other powerful master of the tribes that had surrendered to the Meng tribe.

...

After setting up the defensive lines each of the three tribe alliances sent out vanguards to start the battle.

During this few days Man Tian's leopards were increased by almost a hundred times bringing his leopards to almost four hundred and fifty thousand leopards together with the nine hundred thousand eagles making supreme in air and land attacks.

And although it seemed like Meng tribe had the upper hand in this competition this was actually not true the Hei tribe led by Hei Qin and the Dong Fang Tribe led by Dong Fang Wan Xiu were no slacks either.

(I doubt most people would like to read how the imperial court battles went so I am skipping to the end.)

After a tough and long battle the Meng tribe was barely surviving but that did not stop them from celebrating nonetheless.

Man Tian's enslaved beasts were almost gone with only a ninety thousand or so remaining all together but the supreme elder of the Meng tribe immediately sent over a million more eagles and eight hundred thousand leopards to Man Tian as debt to him but he could keep it all if he brought back lifespan gu. Man Tian knew he was a gu immortal so he did not ask to sign an agreement.

...

It was still snowing outside the window, snowflakes were floating in the air.

As the ten year disaster approaches, the blizzard did not show signs of weakening, instead it was growing.

Northern Plains, end of December.

When Meng Zhao led the army and and arrived at the last minute, at Imperial Court blessed land's entrance, the alliance had about a tenth its members left.

Most of the mortals died on the way there.

In fact, many Gu Masters died from the attacks of beast groups.

The item to open the Imperial Court blessed land was on Meng Zhao.

When he stood up, a mild golden light shone in the air.

Immediately after, the golden light intensified, forming a light ring.

The light ring expanded, turning into a grand city gate.

On the gate, there were exquisite silvery flower patterns. Many fist-sized copper buttons were plastered on the gate.

Boom…

There was like an invisible hand behind the door, pulling the heavy door open.

Immediately, the thick smell of sandalwood spread.

The snow in the air stopped moving. Under the influence of a mysterious power, the snow in the air gathered like bees, in an instant, a solid and magnificent ice ladder was created.

At the top of the ladder, it was connected to the floating Imperial Court gate. It extended all the way to the ground.

"Imperial Court blessed land!" Meng Zhao could not conceal his excitement, he took three steps as one step as he ascended the ice ladder, becoming the first person to enter the Imperial Court.

"Eighty-Eight True Yang Building…" Man Tian was the second person, his gaze became solemn as he took calm strides in.

The next person after him was around three seconds behind him. After Man Tian entered he saw Meng Zhao still lost and he smiled disdainfully and immediately used Meaning Gu on him.

The next person after Man Tian was around three seconds behind him that means Man Tian has ninety seconds to enslave Meng Zhao but should be able to do it in half of that time.

Although someone entering and being teleported to the same place as them was minimal at best but one can never be truly safe.

Seeing Man Tian attacking him Meng Zhao was surprised but immediately tried to use him gu worms but finding them to be locked seeing this he snorted.

snort.

"Do you think you can get away with this?"

Man Tian did not answer him but continued using the meaning after all he had no time to chit chat.

Now the meaning of Meng Zhao's life is to please and sacrifice everything for Man Tian.

Although the meaning Gu was an enslavement path gu worm but in essence it is a human path gu worm.

...

Do not worry the protagonist will not take important gu to the novel like fortune rivaling heaven gu
