Chapter 247: Heavenly Eye Prophecy
Chapter 247: Heavenly Eye Prophecy
Ji Qiankun felt extremely uncomfortable under his daughter Ji Xiaoyu's intense gaze. Somewhere along the way, he had lost the ability to read her, even though his cultivation was higher. He always felt that his daughter was dangerous, and he had even suspected that she had been possessed. However, after a thorough examination, there was no sign of possession.
Ji Xiaoyu slowly spoke, "Father, do you know the origin of the Primordial Dao Talisman?"
Ji Qiankun frowned. "The Primordial Dao Talisman is a legacy left by ancient immortals. It chooses its master through the cycle of reincarnation. Those who possess it are naturally gifted, and each time they break through a major realm, they receive the inheritance."
"Xiaoyu, I was the one who introduced you to the Primordial Dao Talisman. I certainly remember its importance. However, the Primordial Dao Talisman is not the only one of its kind. The Ji family has reached a bottleneck in its development and needs the power of the Seven Star Spirit Realm to open up new territories overseas. The family will not treat you unfairly for your sacrifices."
Ji Xiaoyu stood up and looked at Ji Qiankun from within the pavilion.
The moonlit night was as clear as water, and a cold wind blew.
Ji Qiankun felt uneasy under Ji Xiaoyu's gaze. Just as he was about to speak, Ji Xiaoyu continued, "The Primordial Dao Talisman within me has given me a Heavenly Eye. Do you know what my Heavenly Eye has seen?"
Looking at Ji Xiaoyu's cold and beautiful face, Ji Qiankun felt an inexplicable unease. He asked, "What did you see?"
Ji Xiaoyu moved, circled around the stone table, and approached Ji Qiankun. With each step, her aura grew stronger. Her expression was as cold as a celestial fairy, and her gaze never left Ji Qiankun.
"I saw the Seven Star Spirit Realm's heaven and earth shatter. I saw a million corpses within its borders, rivers of blood flowing."
"I saw the Ji family face its end, the Qilin mourning."
"I saw you, Father, decapitated, dying with your eyes open."
Ji Xiaoyu's voice was not loud, and her tone did not waver, but each word shook Ji Qiankun to his core.
The Primordial Dao Talisman was the result of ancient immortals' cultivation, and no one knew the full extent of its power.
The Ji family did not know the full extent of Ji Xiaoyu's Primordial Dao Talisman's power.
Ji Xiaoyu stopped at the steps and looked at Ji Qiankun. "If the Ji family only wanted me to surrender the Primordial Dao Talisman, I might not have refused. But you also want me dead. How can I agree to that?"
Ji Qiankun was silent. He wanted to say something, but looking into Ji Xiaoyu's eyes, he felt that any words would be futile.
"Regardless of what you say, the decision is made. Your time is running out!"
Ji Qiankun turned and left, his sleeves fluttering.
Watching his back, Ji Xiaoyu did not feel angry. Instead, a look of disdain appeared on her face.
...
Early Morning
Yan Qitian opened his eyes and found himself still in the forest. The figure of Swordsman Fudao was nowhere to be seen.
He recalled the inheritance memories in his mind, his expression complex.
"Path-Breaking Divine Light..."
He had not expected Swordsman Fudao to grant him a divine technique. He had already said he did not need any reward, yet Swordsman Fudao still did this, a gesture that earned his respect.
At the same time, he understood that if he spoke of this, Swordsman Fudao would not be lenient.
Swordsman Fudao was a great cultivator who was clear about his grudges and kept his word.
Yan Qitian could sense that the Path-Breaking Divine Light was no simple technique; it was a rare and valuable opportunity!
After some thought, he decided to visit the TaiXuan Gate.
Regardless, Swordsman Fudao was in seclusion within the TaiXuan Gate and had a good relationship with it. By visiting, he could show his respect to Swordsman Fudao.
Moreover, he felt that this might be an opportunity for him.
Perhaps he could use the TaiXuan Gate to make his cultivation journey smoother.
With that in mind, he turned and flew in the direction of the TaiXuan Gate.
Meanwhile, in the Third Herbal Valley, Gu An was leading his disciples in morning exercises. With over nine hundred disciples practicing together, it was a magnificent sight. Even Yang Jian was taking the exercises seriously.
The autumn air was crisp, and the spiritual energy was abundant.
Gu An was in a great mood, a smile on his face. Seeing his sunny disposition, the disciples' moods lifted as well.
After the exercises, Gu An did not leave but instead invited Xiao Chuan to play a game of chess. The other disciples wanted to watch, but he declined.
Xiao Chuan sat down, excited. "Brother, I won't go easy on you. I've been on a seventeen-game winning streak recently."
He arranged the black and white pieces on the board and made the first move.
Gu An followed, smiling. "How has your cultivation been? Have you been taking the pills I gave you on time?"
Xiao Chuan was only three years younger, and he was close to reaching his maximum lifespan. Gu An planned to have him release his cultivation over the next two years.
Unlike Li Ya and Zhen Qin, who were ambitious and explored the cultivation world, Xiao Chuan had a small ambition, content to help Gu An manage the herbs. However, in Gu An's heart, Xiao Chuan's importance was significant.
In this life, Xiao Chuan had been his longest companion, and their relationship was like family.
Xiao Chuan casually replied, "It's going well. I've been taking the pills."
He was more focused on how to win the game and surprise his brother.
As he made his move, Gu An followed, playing quickly. At first, Xiao Chuan did not mind, but as time passed, Gu An's rapid play put immense pressure on him.
What made it worse was that Gu An kept asking him questions, which he had to answer, causing him to become increasingly frustrated and almost frantic.
Gu An could see Xiao Chuan's frustration and was doing this intentionally.
Watching Xiaochuan's distress, Gu An found it incredibly amusing.
Suddenly, Gu An asked, "Xiaochuan, do you want to go down the mountain, get married, and have children?"
Xiaochuan quickly looked up, panic in his eyes. "Senior Brother, do you want to send me away?"
Gu An rolled his eyes. "Life is about experiencing all kinds of pleasures. I'm just suggesting you get married and have children. If you want to come back later, you can. Of course, it's up to you. If you don't like women, that's fine too."
Xiaochuan was already 138 years old and had never experienced romantic relationships. As his senior brother, Gu An felt it was his duty to help him.
Don't think that Gu An had experienced such things in this life. He had already experienced them in his previous life, so it wasn't new to him. But Xiaochuan was different.
Xiaochuan didn't even read "Qingxia's Journey," and Gu An was a bit worried about him.
Xiaochuan's face turned red. "Isn't that inappropriate?"
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. When the time comes, I'll give you money, and you can buy a house. A matchmaker will come, and you can live a normal life for a few decades. It might not be a bad thing," Gu An said softly, placing a chess piece that made Xiaochuan's face turn green.
How shameless!
Playing chess was one thing, but using underhanded tactics was another.
Xiaochuan's mind was in chaos, but he was also moved by Gu An's words.
The reason Gu An suggested he go down the mountain was to see if Xiaochuan could gain enlightenment after experiencing the secular world.
Gaining enlightenment was a mysterious process. Even Immortal Xian couldn't force someone to gain enlightenment just by willing it.
Enlightenment could change one's maximum lifespan because it was a gift from the heavens. Life was ultimately determined by the heavens.
In this way, under Gu An's constant persuasion, Xiaochuan was utterly defeated, feeling both depressed and helpless.
Gu An stood up and smiled. "Think about it carefully. When you make up your mind, come find me. Don't hesitate; we will always be senior and junior brothers, and I will protect you for life."
Hearing this, Xiaochuan's mood improved. He turned to look, and Gu An was already walking away.
For some reason, he felt that Senior Brother's arrangement was a sign that his time was coming to an end.
But it seemed that Senior Brother really cared about him.
Xiaochuan's face broke into a smile.
Gu An also smiled, thinking to himself, "Little brat, you want to beat me? Keep practicing for another 800 years."
That day, Yan Qitian visited the TaiXuan Gate, causing a stir among the higher-ups. Lu Baitian personally welcomed him, and they had a long discussion.
Three days later, Yan Qitian left, and the TaiXuan Gate announced that Yan Qitian, the second on the Heavenly List, had become a guest elder of the TaiXuan Gate. This news excited the entire TaiXuan Gate.
It was said that Yan Qitian left many cultivation techniques and spells, promising to respond if the TaiXuan Gate was in trouble. The TaiXuan Gate, in gratitude, began to publicize Yan Qitian's deeds, aiming to make him the top cultivator of the TaiXuan Gate.
Yan Qitian's joining caused a significant stir in the cultivation world, and various sects and kingdoms felt the pressure. They began to engage in diplomatic relations with the TaiXuan Gate. However, the Cangtian Sect remained silent, with low morale.
Autumn gave way to winter, and the snow covered the land.
In the Mystic Valley, Gu An stood by the window, admiring the snow.
His divine consciousness enveloped the continent.
Dealing with the Seven Stars Spirit Realm couldn't be done by force, mainly because it was too large. There were also the Five Directional Star Caves overseas, and he found it difficult to capture all of them at once, as it could alert other overseas forces or great cultivators.
So, he planned to first eliminate the Six Stars and Seven Stars Caves on the continent.
Gu An could sense their small worlds and was waiting for the Seven Stars Spirit Realm to show signs of trouble before making his move.
Since the appearance of the Divine City, many great cultivators from the oceans had visited the continent, including the Star Sea Sects, which were continuously investigating the Seven Stars Spirit Realm. Battles often broke out between them and the Seven Stars Spirit Realm on the continent.
Gu An intended to wait until the Star Sea Sects caused a significant disturbance and then descend into the Seven Stars Spirit Realm, eliminating all the high-ranking cultivators, ensuring that the Seven Stars Spirit Realm no longer existed on the continent.
At that time, the Star Sea Sects would likely push northward, putting pressure on the Seven Stars Spirit Realm's borders, forcing them to focus elsewhere.
Today, Gu An suddenly sensed a special force brewing within the Seven Stars Spirit Realm, which piqued his curiosity.
He saw the source of that force, making him more eager to see how things would develop.
"Indeed, this world is full of hidden dragons and tigers. There are many hidden forces."
Gu An thought to himself, turned back to his desk, and picked up the TaiXuan Secret Transmission.
Reading more books allowed him to understand what was truly classic.
If a book never grew old, it was a classic.
Page by page, like the rings of a tree.
Three years passed quickly.
Gu An's lifespan broke through to ten million years. On this day, he closed the TaiXuan Secret Transmission, stored it in his storage bag, and stood up, walking out of the pavilion.
The summer was hot, with insects chirping, and the sunlight fell on Gu An, reminding him of the scene when he first entered the Mystic Valley at 15. He focused his gaze and saw Lu Jiujia teaching the newly arrived miscellaneous disciples.
In Gu An's eyes, Lu Jiujia's figure gradually overlapped with Zhang Chunqiu's.
A hundred years had passed, and things had changed, but some impressions remained.
Gu An smiled and began to consider what magical weapon to use in the upcoming battle. Using brute force was a bit boring.
