Chapter 306: Absolute Order
Chapter 306: Absolute Order
When Gu An reached the Ninth level of the Divine Thought True Immortal Realm, the chaotic energy and rules of the universe finally calmed down.
Looking around, powerful figures could be seen in every direction, and the mysterious eyes that had been peering into the universe had vanished.
Gu An slowly opened his eyes, his gaze as indifferent as ever.
After witnessing countless lives, his Dao heart had grown stronger, and he had even touched upon his own Dao, albeit faintly.
The path of Dao is long and profound, requiring an immense amount of time to cultivate.
Currently, Gu An had only reached a certain level of cultivation. To strengthen his Dao, he needed to experience real time in the world.
Of course, this did not mean he was weaker than others at the same level; it merely indicated the direction of his future cultivation.
The Ninth Heaven of Immortal Dao, the Divine Thought True Immortal realm was the eighth level!
Cultivation stages: Qi Practice, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Essence Infant, Spirit Transformation, Void Crossing, Body Merging, Profound Heart, Great Ascension, Nirvana, Scattered Immortal, Wandering Immortal, Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal, Free Ranging Primordial Immortal, Marvelous Dharma Spirit Immortal, Dao Void Profound Immortal, Divine Thought True Immortal!
Unbeknownst to him, Gu An had crossed so many major realms.
At just 220 years old, his future achievements were boundless.
But what lay beyond the Ninth Heaven?
Gu An was lost in endless contemplation, paying no heed to the powerful figures moving in different directions.
Not to mention other Divine Thought True Immortals; currently, there were no Dao Void Profound Immortals in sight, likely hiding in the shadows.
Recalling the mysterious giant eye he had encountered before, he still couldn't discern its cultivation level.
Gu An glanced at the Life Boundary's consumption, frowning.
This breakthrough had cost him over 50 million years of lifespan.
Now, he only had 340 million years of lifespan left, and this breakthrough had consumed nearly 300 million years. It was hard to imagine how many years the next breakthrough would cost.
Regardless, the ninth level of the Divine Thought True Immortal realm was sufficient for self-preservation!
Gu An stood up, his mind drifting to the scene inside the third Medicine Valley Pavilion.
As soon as the thought arose, he was back inside the pavilion.
This was the power of the Divine Thought True Immortal realm!
With a mere thought, he could be anywhere, achieving a preliminary state of omnipresence.
The world looked different through Gu An's eyes. He saw more rules, and the world became clearer.
He again probed the Great Heavenly World. His divine thought far surpassed his previous divine perception, allowing him to penetrate the arrays and restrictions of powerful forces without being detected.
Indeed, this vast world harbored Marvelous DharmaSpirit Immortals, though few, all in seclusion, not involving themselves in worldly affairs.
Gu An's gaze turned to the Immortal Spirit Empire. The continent hosting the Immortal Spirit Empire was much larger than the one he stood on. The newborns there started at the Nirvana realm, and there were even Marvelous DharmaSpirit Immortals, as well as Dao Void Profound Immortals and realms beyond his perception.
In his view, the standard for what was difficult to perceive was silence and invisibility.
His divine thought could forcefully penetrate, but it would surely disturb the entities within.
The Immortal Spirit Empire was incredibly strong!
If not for the Holy Court, this empire could easily dominate the Great Heavenly World. However, they seemed content with their isolation, and Gu An saw no Immortal Spirits entering or leaving the empire.
He then directed his divine thought to the other end of the world, to the Holy Court.
The lower limit of the Holy Court was not as high as the Immortal Spirit Empire, but the number of living beings was vastly greater, far surpassing the Immortal Spirit Empire, even in numbers at the same realm.
If the Immortal Spirit Empire pursued an elite path, the Holy Court adopted a comprehensive development approach and had absolute control over the Great Heavenly World.
Even within the Holy Court, there were places Gu An dared not easily intrude. After a cursory exploration, Gu An felt the Holy Court was still stronger than the Immortal Spirit Empire.
During his observation, Gu An noticed Free Ranging Primordial Immortals entering and leaving the Great Heavenly World in a way imperceptible to ordinary beings.
He secretly rejoiced.
Fortunately, after reaching the Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal realm, he had not acted rashly. Otherwise, he might not have noticed a Free Ranging Primordial Immortal approaching him.
Reaching the Divine Thought True Immortal realm, Gu An could better sense the essence of the Great Heavenly World. Of course, he also had his own confidence, not fearing the Holy Court as much.
Gu An vaguely saw the Holy Court's aura forming an invisible channel, leading deep into the universe, into the Void Region.
His gaze naturally turned to the Void Region.
The universe was boundless, and the Void Region did not lie in one direction but surrounded the area of the Great Heavenly World. The Great Heavenly World was merely closer to one side, so the living beings there mistakenly believed the Void Region lay in one direction.
Even a Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal would need many years to fly from another direction to the Void Region, demonstrating the vastness of the universe.
Gu An retracted his divine thought, his heart filled with emotion.
This world was different from what he had envisioned.
Due to the influence of his past life's culture, he had thought that if there was an Immortal Dao, there would be order, Immortal Deities governing all things, and a cycle regulating Yin and Yang. But in reality, there were none.
There was an Immortal Dao realm, but no Immortal Deities governing the Dao.
There was a cycle of Yin and Yang, but no order like the Underworld.
After observing the universe, Gu An had only one feeling.
Chaos.
There was no absolute order!
Gu An felt that the other end of the universe might conceal even vaster worlds. The Void Region hindered the steps of the living beings in the Great Heavenly World, as he had already learned of other great worlds through the cycle.
Speaking of the Dark Great World, Gu An felt that it was even more powerful and expansive than the current Heavenly Spirit Great World.
This was to be expected. Bai Ziya had once mentioned that the current Heavenly Spirit Great World was just a fragment of the true, vast expanse that was hard to imagine.
Gu An couldn't help but think of his junior sister and his disciples.
His pride began to dissipate.
True Immortals were indeed powerful, but they hadn't yet reached the level of dominion over the cycle of life and death. At the very least, they couldn't grant eternal life to those around them.
He planned to visit Ye Lan after some time, to see if he could help her extend her lifespan to its limit.
Gu An raised his hand, tapping the table with his fingers.
This gesture was actually transmitting mana. He was reinforcing the mana within the Sky-Cleaving Axe, and at the same time, enhancing the 'Righteous Path' inscription on the Sky-Repair Terrace.
Since the reputation of the Righteous Path Sword Venerable had been established, he would continue to maintain it!
...
Late summer.
The weather was gradually becoming cooler.
In the forest, Gu An was guiding Yang Jian's cultivation.
Yang Jian wielded the Three-Pointed Two-Edged Blade, launching powerful and forceful attacks. However, he couldn't harm Gu An, who could block all his attacks with just two fingers.
This Three-Pointed Two-Edged Blade was crafted by Li Xuandao and given to Yang Jian long ago. However, within the Medicine Valley, Yang Jian wouldn't take out this divine weapon.
This divine weapon was crafted similarly to the Sky-Cleaving Axe, weighing a million catties, with special restrictions inside to enhance the striking power.
Yang Jian's heart grew heavier with each battle. He was already giving it his all, not to mention threatening his master, but under Gu An's suppression, his aura couldn't even damage the forest.
At first glance, he seemed like a faster and more powerful martial artist.
The Great Saint of the Blood Prison lay watching from the side, not surprised but rather finding it reasonable.
What he cared about more was Yang Jian's condition.
This boy's aura was getting stronger and stronger. He couldn't even imagine what Yang Jian would be like after reaching the Great Ascension Realm.
Yang Jian leaped up, angrily slashing down. Gu An raised his right hand, using two fingers to pinch the blade, stopping Yang Jian from pressing down, making him tremble all over.
"Alright, that's enough for today."
Gu An spoke calmly, then placed Yang Jian down.
Yang Jian sheathed his blade and quickly bowed, his heart uneasy, unsure if he had met his master's expectations.
His actual cultivation had already reached the Seventh Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm. Apart from his own efforts, he had also received many elixirs from Gu An. In terms of cultivation speed, Gu An was quite satisfied.
"Let's go, it's time to return. A great personage is coming today."
Gu An smiled and said softly.
Yang Jian couldn't help but feel curious. What great personage?
They walked out of the forest, and on the way, the Great Saint of the Blood Prison began to evaluate Yang Jian's combat, imparting practical combat experience. Yang Jian knew his true cultivation level, so he listened very attentively.
An hour later.
Gu An was playing chess with Steal Five Elements, with Nine-Fingered Divine Lord, Divine Heart, and a group of cultivators watching.
Steal Five Elements furrowed his brow, hesitant to make a move.
At this moment, a loud voice echoed across the TaiXuan Gate, resounding throughout the continent.
"The Holy Chancellor commands, the Righteous Path Sword Venerable has saved countless lives and can enter the Holy Court to receive a destiny fruit position!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Medicine Valley couldn't help but look up, and Gu An pretended to look as well.
After a brief silence, the Medicine Valley erupted in clamor.
"Is it the Holy Court?"
"Are they rewarding the Righteous Path Sword Venerable?"
"What's going on? What kind of power is the Holy Court?"
"What is a destiny fruit position? It sounds very powerful."
"Who is this Holy Chancellor, daring to recruit the Righteous Path Sword Venerable? That's too arrogant!"
Most of the disciples felt dissatisfied with the Holy Court, thinking it was disrespectful to the Righteous Path Sword Venerable. At least from these words, the Holy Court seemed to consider itself stronger than the Righteous Path Sword Venerable.
Gu An couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
Recruit me?
But why does this scene feel like something from Journey to the West?
Fortunately, it's not asking me to be the Stable Master.
A disciple couldn't help but ask Nine-Fingered Divine Lord about the Holy Court. Nine-Fingered Divine Lord didn't hide anything and began to introduce the Holy Court.
Upon hearing that the Holy Court was the supreme ruler of the entire world, the disciples' dissatisfaction instantly vanished, and they began to worry about the Righteous Path Sword Venerable leaving.
Without the Righteous Path Sword Venerable, what would happen if the continent faced another crisis?
Gu An, however, sensed that the heavenly fairy who had just delivered the message had already stepped onto the Sky-Repair Terrace.
He immediately stood up and went to see the commotion.
Inside the outer city, the crowd was buzzing.
On the Sky-Repair Terrace, everyone was discussing the Holy Court, and many felt that the Holy Court was belittling the Righteous Path Sword Venerable.
A man in white walked through the crowd, his pace unhurried, his sleeves fluttering, his appearance elegant, and a folding fan in his hand.
He smiled, inwardly disdainful.
"A bunch of mortals daring to question the Holy Court?"
The man in white wasn't angry. He wouldn't argue with mortals, especially not in the Righteous Path Sword Venerable's territory, where he couldn't afford to offend the Righteous Path Sword Venerable.
A great power capable of destroying the Great Cold Demon Sect was not someone he could provoke.
After delivering the Holy Chancellor's words, he didn't care whether the Righteous Path Sword Venerable agreed or not. Now, he wanted to try that Sky-Cleaving Axe.
Before coming to the TaiXuan Gate, he had heard of the Sky-Cleaving Axe's legend while traveling in the TaiCang Dynasty.
