Chapter 401: Immortal Deity Legacy
Chapter 401: Immortal Deity Legacy
The people of the world.
Ambitions.
Li Xuandao fell into deep contemplation, and Gu An also refrained from offering his opinion, as both choices had their pros and cons for the common folk.
If they were content with the status quo, a crisis would arise in the future. But if they were discontent, it would bring hardship to the current generation and many generations to come.
Gu An's protection of the continent's living beings was already an act of benevolence, but he wouldn't constantly worry about the folk's daily lives.
When asked about the world's affairs, Gu An would give options to deal with the situation, but the final decision rested with Li Xuandao, who wouldn't take responsibility for the consequences.
Li Xuandao was deep in thought, and Gu An didn't disturb him, his gaze shifting to the courtyard outside.
As he instructed the human cultivator, Lv Xian would occasionally glance at Gu An, and when their eyes met, Gu An could see the excitement in his eyes.
Gu An was suspicious, but he wasn't in a hurry. He would wait until after talking with Li Xuandao to address it.
Usually, he didn't need to spend much time cultivating, so his pace of life was slow, and he didn't need to rush most things. He could handle them one by one, taking his time.
Li Xuandao also didn't remain immersed in his own world. As he came back to his senses, he started chatting with Gu An about Li Ya.
Li Ya was the bond between the two of them, and when they talked about him, their conversation became more lively.
Half an hour later, Li Xuandao suddenly said, "Lv Xian has been talking about you non-stop. He specifically came back from overseas to find you, but he insisted that I accompany him. He wants to meet you, yet he's also afraid of you. What's going on?"
Gu An feigned surprise and asked, "Why does he want to meet me? And why is he afraid of me? That doesn't make sense. Could it be that I've been treating him poorly?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Lv Xian, who immediately smiled at him.
Li Xuandao stared at Gu An, his eyes filled with meaning, and said, "Gu An, what kind of relationship do we have that requires such secrecy?"
Gu An's expression shifted between gloom and cheer, and he took a deep breath before saying, "To be honest, I do have a connection behind the scenes. If I reveal it, I will be punished, and those who know about it will also die."
After speaking, he raised his hand and patted his own shoulder.
Li Xuandao narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Then let's not talk about it anymore."
His heart, however, was filled with tumultuous emotions.
This kid...
He thought carefully, and suddenly, he felt like he had just realized something.
After Gu An joined the Taixuan Sect, Dao Support Sword Lord appeared, and his initial area of activity was very close to Gu An.
He also thought about how Li Ya's strength had skyrocketed over the years, something he had never been able to understand.
Now, it seemed like he finally understood. It turned out that Gu An had asked Dao Support Sword Lord to take care of Li Ya.
Li Xuandao's gaze towards Gu An became scorching, and this look made Gu An feel very uncomfortable.
Gu An didn't need to guess to know what Li Xuandao was thinking.
He didn't reveal it, and if Li Xuandao wanted to act in the name of Dao Support Sword Lord, he wouldn't mind giving Li Xuandao a pat on the shoulder.
It all depended on whether Li Xuandao would know his limits.
"You go find Lv Xian. I didn't come here for anything else," Li Xuandao said, waving his hand with a smile.
Gu An stood up, raised his hand to salute him, and then walked out of the courtyard.
Seeing him leave the courtyard, Lv Xian immediately approached and led Gu An to a corner of Horizon Valley.
"What's so mysterious about this?" Gu An asked.
Lv Xian spoke in a low voice, "I have something good here, and it will definitely not disappoint you!"
"Something good?"
Gu An became interested and followed Lv Xian.
Lv Xian led Gu An into a cave, which was his cave abode. He had built it specifically when he cultivated in Horizon Valley to avoid being seen by others. The restrictions here were very advanced.
After entering the cave abode, Lv Xian activated the restrictions, isolating the place.
Gu An looked at him with annoyance and asked, "Why all the secrecy? Are you hiding it from His Majesty as well?"
"Of course I'm hiding it," Lv Xian replied, his face filled with excitement. "If he finds out, he'll go crazy!"
He led Gu An to the deepest part of the cave, where he approached a stone table and took out a stone tablet. Its edges were irregular, resembling a large fragment. At first glance, this stone tablet seemed ordinary, with no words or talismans on its surface.
As Lv Xian placed the stone tablet down, Gu An suddenly saw through something, and his expression became strange.
This stone tablet actually contained Celestial Providence!
And it was purer and more unsettling than the Heavenly Ancestor's legacy and the Celestial Providence legacy that An Hao received. Its providence emanated a sense of oppression that was difficult to describe.
Even Gu An, a Dao Canon Freedom Immortal, felt a sense of apprehension upon sensing this Celestial Providence, along with a hint of yearning.
He wanted to possess this Celestial Providence!
As soon as this emotion was born, Gu An's apprehension grew.
This thing was not right!
Gu An turned to Lv Xian and asked, "What is this?"
He couldn't deduce the cause and effect of this stone tablet!
This meant that the origins of this stone tablet were even more powerful than the Dao Canon Freedom Immortal!
Thinking of this, Gu An wished Lv Xian would take this thing away and keep it far from him.
What was this thing?
Did he want to harm him?
Lv Xian revealed a thrilled smile and said, "This is a legacy I obtained by chance. You might not believe it, but inside is the legacy of an Immortal Deity, a true Immortal Deity, not something the Immortal Dynasty or Holy Court could compare to!"
Immortal Deity Legacy?
Gu An frowned. Neither Lu Han nor Long Zhan had encountered a true Immortal Deity during their long years, but they had met many who claimed to be from the Immortal Clan or the Divine Clan.
This led Gu An to believe that the so-called Immortal Deity was merely a more powerful existence.
Lv Xian continued, "The heritage within only considers talent, not cultivation. I failed, but I think you can give it a try."
"Why me? There are so many geniuses," Gu An hesitated and asked.
Lv Xian glared at him and said impatiently, "There are many geniuses, but the only one I'm close to is you. I wouldn't give it to An Hao. You possess unparalleled talent, yet you can suppress your competitive spirit and hide here. I think it's better for you to become an Immortal Deity, at least you won't threaten me, and you truly care for your friends."
Gu An was curious, but he always felt that this was dangerous. So, he said, "His Majesty also has strong talent."
Lv Xian's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "You noticed too? I thought I was the only one who knew."
"Hmm, but don't tell him I know."
"Hahaha, rest assured. He thinks he's hidden deeply, but he doesn't know that you are the deepest. It's clear when you think about it. Why did the Dao Support Sword Lord stay in the Taixuan Sect? It must be to cultivate you. An Hao claims to be his disciple, but he left, while the Dao Support Sword Lord remained, indicating that he's just benefiting from your connection."
Lv Xian smiled, genuinely believing that Gu An was stronger than An Hao.
He had sparred with both of them, and Gu An gave him the most oppressive feeling and psychological shadow.
He even thought that Gu An was the number one genius in the world!
After hearing this, Gu An fell silent, his gaze fixed on the stone tablet.
Wait a minute!
Should he simulate this with his lifespan? Gu An thought it was feasible, but directly touching the stone tablet was too dangerous.
His mind moved, and he immediately began the simulation.
【Simulating heritage requires consuming 1,000,000 years of lifespan. Continue?】
So much? Gu An hesitated, but looking at the stone tablet, he was truly tempted.
Forget it!
One extravagant attempt!
As Lv Xian continued his endless speech, Gu An chose to proceed. Immediately, his consciousness entered a pale white space.
Everything was a hazy white, and beneath his feet, a grassy field appeared first, rapidly expanding, with mountains appearing in the distant surroundings.
The heavens and earth were vast, and the sky dome was magnificent.
Gu An's gaze turned forward, and on top of the mountains, a dazzling ball of light appeared, enormous, larger than any mountain in the heavens and earth.
Within the ball of light stood a majestic figure, ten thousand zhang tall. From his silhouette, he seemed to be wearing armor, holding a divine weapon, and exuding a vast aura that dominated the heavens! Upon seeing him, Gu An felt threatened and couldn't help but think of the Black Xuan Di encountered by Lu Han and the Silent God Emperor encountered by Long Zhan.
Their auras were similar!
What kind of cultivation realm were they in?
"Mortal Spirit, now that you've seen the Heavenly Dao, why not kneel?"
A dignified voice sounded, but Gu An didn't kneel. After all, it was just a simulation, so he asked, "What heritage is this?"
"This is the Celestial Immortal Throne. To gain my approval, you must defeat me."
Defeat?
Gu An was surprised. If Lv Xian faced this guy, he would have no chance of winning, not even the will to fight.
Wait, Lv Xian said this heritage only considers talent. Could it be that facing different inheritors, this guy's cultivation would also be different?
Lv Xian failed because he faced an existence one great realm higher than himself.
Now, Gu An faced an existence one realm higher than the Dao Canon Freedom Immortal! No wonder he felt danger, but it didn't make him despair.
"What is the Celestial Immortal Throne?" Gu An asked again.
The other party didn't answer.
Gu An asked other questions, but no matter how he inquired, the other party didn't respond.
Forget it!
He'll fight and see if he has the strength to pass the heritage test!
...
Inside the cave abode, Lv Xian waved to Gu An, and Gu An's eyes suddenly became clear.
"What are you thinking about? I've asked you several times, but you haven't said a word." Lv Xian was dissatisfied.
Gu An smiled and said, "Nothing much. I'm just wondering if there really are Immortal Deities in this world."
He had passed the test.
It must be said that guy was indeed powerful. Even with my full strength, it took dozens of moves to completely annihilate him."
However, even with victory, Gu An still didn't understand the origin of the Celestial Immortal Throne.
But one thing was certain—the stone tablet heritage could see through his true cultivation. If there was an Immortal Deity force backing it, they could also understand his true strength through the stone tablet.
The thing Gu An least wanted was for someone to see through his true cultivation.
"Forget it. I can't accept it, but rest assured, I won't tell anyone else either." Gu An shook his head.
Lv Xian widened his eyes and said, "This is the Immortal Deity heritage. If you succeed in inheriting it, you'll soar to the heavens!"
Gu An said, "I only believe in the cultivation I've achieved myself, not relying on others. Otherwise, my life and death freedom would be controlled by others."
After hearing this, Lv Xian frowned.
He had to admit that Gu An made a valid point.
After Gu An's words, the excitement in his heart began to fade.
He looked at the stone tablet on the table and whispered, "You're right. Perhaps not passing the heritage test is a good thing."
