Chapter 339: Annihilation Fate Seal
Chapter 339: Annihilation Fate Seal
"What's wrong?" Jiang Qiong furrowed her brows and asked, her expression turning cold. "Did someone give you trouble?"
Gu An smiled upon hearing this and said, "Nothing much. I was just thinking about a story from a book."
Jiang Qiong asked suspiciously, "Really?"
Gu An laughed and said, "Yes, I was actually planning to leave before you came out of seclusion. That way, if I missed you, you might feel guilty. But you came out so quickly, and I was caught off guard."
After all, he was a Divine Mind True Immortal, and although Lu Han's memories were heavy and vast, he could detach himself from them in a short time.
Lu Han was just one of his past lives.
Lu Han was him, but he was Gu An!
Hearing Gu An's words, Jiang Qiong's worries dissipated, and she glared at him, saying with annoyance, "You're really imaginative. I won't feel guilty."
"Is that so? It seems I overestimated our relationship."
"Hmph, but I'm glad you came to me. It's rare to see you leave the Taixuan Sect."
"I just suddenly thought of you. Every time, it's you who comes to find me. I should also come to look for you, especially since the Taixuan Sect and the Flower Gathering Sect have established a good relationship."
The two of them chatted, and as Gu An spoke, he observed Jiang Qiong's life destiny, probing into her fate.
Entering Nirvana, all beings are ordinary, and Gu An could see Jiang Qiong's life's end at a glance.
Jiang Qiong's fate was extremely complex, with countless variables and trajectories.
In her destiny, Gu An couldn't see himself, but he understood that the reason Jiang Qiong had so many fate branches was because of him. His choices would change Jiang Qiong's fate, but all the fate branches flowed towards the same conclusion—death.
There were various ends, such as dying of old age, dying in battle, or cultivating to the point of madness. It was like a tree of fate with branches spreading out.
Fate seemed so cruel! After integrating Lu Han's life experiences, Gu An gained deeper insights into the path of fate. Under the harsh fate, mysterious forces could disperse destiny at any time.
Gu An guessed that this was the glimmer of hope left by the Three Thousand Great Paths, a chance for beings to transcend the ordinary.
As long as Jiang Qiong could achieve Nirvana, her fate would be reshaped.
Thinking of himself, Gu An wondered about his own fate. Being in the midst of it, he couldn't probe his destiny. Fate was the presentation of all causes and effects in one's life. Although those who probed fate couldn't see their own, they could predict by performing cause and effect divination related to themselves.
If Gu An could probe Jiang Qiong's fate, then there must be stronger beings who could probe the fate of Divine Mind True Immortals. Fate, in essence, was not predetermined; it was just that the masses lacked the power to change their current path and could only be swept along by the grand trend of the mortal world.
The existence above the Ninth Heaven of Immortal Dao must also be able to see the grand trend that swept Divine Mind True Immortals. So, how could one transcend fate?
Gu An had been pondering this question throughout his conversation with Jiang Qiong.
Two hours later, Gu An stood up to take his leave.
"Can't you stay for two more days?" Jiang Qiong asked, trying to keep him.
Gu An replied, "I've already been out for four days. It's time to go back. There are several Medicine Valleys waiting for me to manage."
Jiang Qiong glared at him and said, "Why raise so many disciples if you're going to say that? As the leader of a sect, wouldn't I be even busier?"
"We're different, and it'll be more convenient in the future. We're both cultivators, and there will be plenty of opportunities to meet again." Gu An shook his head.
Jiang Qiong humphed, unable to persuade him, and could only see him off.
She escorted Gu An all the way to the main gate of the Flower Gathering Sect, and even after he flew away, she still stood in the same spot, gazing in the direction of his departure.
The Flower Gathering Sect disciples guarding the gate secretly wondered about Gu An's relationship with their leader, as she personally saw him off.
On his way back, Gu An was being watched, and Jiang Qiong secretly dealt with those people.
Because Jiang Qiong was following, Gu An's return to the valley was slowed down.
When Jiang Qiong left, he was still ten thousand miles away from the Taixuan Sect. He took a step and entered the Taixuan Sect.
Next, he planned to spend time comprehending the path of fate.
...
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, twenty years had gone by.
These twenty years flew by for Gu An. Besides gathering medicinal herbs, he spent most of his time secluded in his room.
Many new disciples didn't even have a chance to interact with him before they reached Foundation Establishment and graduated. Anxin, as the senior disciple of the Third Medicine Valley, had the authority to distribute Foundation Establishment Pills. She had twenty stewards under her command, managing the valley efficiently.
In the summer of that year, Gu An pushed open the door and strolled downstairs. Gazing at the azure sky, he felt refreshed and content, a satisfied smile on his face.
He could put aside his contemplation of the path of fate for now and take a few years to relax.
Over the past twenty years, he had cultivated Lu Han's strongest divine ability, known as the Annihilation Fate Seal!
The Annihilation Fate Seal was Lu Han's comprehension of the River of Destiny, and this divine ability could deprive enemies of their cause and effect, causing them to be rejected by the rules of heaven and earth. It also left an indelible scar, a flaw that would forever plague the opponent.
Lu Han had used this divine ability to injure the Black Profound Emperor.
If he encountered the Black Profound Emperor in the future, Gu An could make a judgment based on the scar left by the Annihilation Fate Seal. No matter what divine ability the Black Profound Emperor used, he couldn't conceal the damage caused by the Annihilation Fate Seal.
Of course, before he could ascertain Black Profound Emperor's strength, Gu An would try to minimize the use of Lu Han, Xiao Shengtian, and Chu Lu's magical abilities.
This was already the third time he was hunted down by the Black Profound Emperor, and it was definitely not a coincidence. The Black Profound Emperor was undoubtedly searching for him.
Just as Gu An was thinking about the Black Profound Emperor, Ji Xiaoyu approached him and scrutinized him, saying, "I feel like you've changed, but I can't quite put my finger on it."
Gu An glanced at her and smiled softly, "Maybe I've become even more handsome."
Ji Xiaoyu seemed deep in thought.
Gu An could sense the aura of destiny on her, and her cultivation method was clearly focused on the path of destiny. Perhaps this was why she could perceive Gu An's changes.
Fortunately, the gap in their cultivation levels was vast, and it was impossible for Ji Xiaoyu to discern Gu An's true strength.
After chatting for a while, Gu An found Anxin, and together they left Taixuan Sect.
After leaving Taixuan Sect, and only after confirming that no one was watching them, did Gu An take Anxin towards Human World Peak.
Anxin closed her eyes, then opened them, and they arrived at Human World Peak.
So fast!
At this moment, Anxin felt the same way Yang Jian had in the past.
The higher one's cultivation, the more one marvels at the master's strength.
"Master, what kind of technique is this? It's so fast!" Anxin couldn't help but ask.
Gu An flew with her through the clouds, gazing ahead, and said, "You guessed right, it's the Path Treading Time Step that you're cultivating."
Anxin widened her eyes in surprise.
No wonder this step technique was so difficult to practice. Once mastered, it could traverse the human world? Anxin felt an unprecedented anticipation for the Path Treading Time Step.
Soon, the master and disciple arrived at Firm Sky Peak.
Gu An went to pick medicinal herbs first, and along the way, he greeted the disciples. News of his return quickly spread throughout Firm Sky Peak.
With Gu An's addition, Human World Peak became even more tolerant towards Firm Sky Peak. The direct disciples could bring greater benefits to Firm Sky Peak, benefiting the entire peak. Everyone knew that this was because their Peak Master was strong enough, so the disciples had already deified Gu An in private.
As they strolled, Gu An casually picked herbs, giving the impression that he was intentionally entering the disciples' lives. All the disciples he spoke to were thrilled.
Occasionally, Gu An would help the disciples pick medicinal herbs, taking them but not keeping them, leaving the disciples pleasantly surprised.
Gradually, Gu An heard a piece of news.
The Immortal Dynasty was about to rise!
At Human World Peak, one could learn about various major events in the Heavenly Spirit Great World. Gu An also heard about the grudge between the Immortal Dynasty and the Holy Court.
The two factions had been fighting for who knows how many years, and it was only with the ascension of the Holy Heaven that the human world finally welcomed peace.
The Holy Heaven was undoubtedly the strongest in the Heavenly Spirit Great World, but no one knew exactly how powerful it was.
With the rise of the Immortal Dynasty, it would inevitably attract suppression from the Holy Court. If the two sides clashed, the peaceful days in the human world would come to an end.
Despite Gu An's experience of several tribulations, the Sea of Disconnection was too small to affect the entire world. Overall, the Heavenly Spirit Great World had maintained tens of thousands of years of peace.
Anxin was also very interested in these matters. This was the first time she had heard of the Immortal Dynasty, and she never imagined that there was a force in the human world that could rival the Holy Court.
Time passed.
Gu An brought Anxin to the courtyard at the top of the peak, where Anxin began her cultivation while Gu An wrote in the courtyard to relax his mind.
The main purpose of their visit today was to unwind.
After a while, he suddenly felt something and looked up.
His gaze pierced through the heavenly dome, reaching deep into the universe.
He sensed a strange aura coming from the Annihilation Realm.
This aura made him feel very uncomfortable.
Before long, he saw a coffin flying out of the darkness. It was a crimson pine coffin, deep red in color, as if covered in blood, and surrounded by visible black qi.
There was something inside the coffin!
Could it be coming for the Heavenly Demon's demonic embryo again? Gu An thought to himself, having no intention to intervene. The crimson coffin did not conceal its form or aura, and it was bound to be noticed by the Holy Court.
As expected, Gu An saw numerous figures flying out from the Holy Domain where the Holy Court was located, and the weakest among them was a Freedom Primordial Immortal!
What formidable foundations!
Gu An was once again astonished by the strength of the Holy Court. This was just the first wave of their forces, and it was hard to imagine the terrifying power the Holy Court could unleash if they mobilized their entire force.
However, Gu An saw a Marvelous Technique Spirit Immortal blocking the crimson coffin, using his own grand dharma power to resist. As a result, he showed a pained expression, and his physical body quickly turned into blood, falling onto the coffin and rapidly drying up.
The Marvelous Technique Spirit Immortal's soul managed to escape.
What terrifying power!
Gu An couldn't see how the crimson coffin devoured the Marvelous Technique Spirit Immortal; it was a power he had never witnessed before.
He could determine that the being inside the crimson coffin was not the Heavenly Demon, or at least not the one he had encountered.
The crimson coffin flew towards the Heavenly Spirit Great World with unstoppable momentum.
The cultivators who had flown out from the Holy Court seemed to have received an order, as they all stopped and even made way.
What did this mean? Gu An frowned slightly.
Could the crimson coffin be related to the Holy Court? Gu An thought as he continued writing with his head down.
With the Holy Court also in the Heavenly Spirit Great World, he wanted to see what would happen next.
