Chapter 430: The Heavenly Dao's Predestined Fate
Chapter 430: The Heavenly Dao's Predestined Fate
Upon hearing Lu Xian's inquiry, Gu An raised an eyebrow and said, "So, the news has reached your ears?"
Lu Xian crossed his arms across his chest and smiled proudly, "Of course!"
"That's quite slow," Gu An commented.
"What?" Lu Xian's smile froze, unsure of what to say. If it were anyone else, he would have kicked them, but what could he do when facing Gu An?
He could only endure it!
Lu Xian's eyes widened with excitement upon hearing this. He trembled all over and cautiously asked, "Really? Why am I the only one who knows?"
Gu An's gaze deepened as he replied, "Although you're not my match, in my eyes, you're the only one whose talent poses a threat to me. An Hao doesn't stand a chance; he's too smooth-sailing and will eventually stumble. Only those heaven-defying geniuses who survive are the true powerhouses."
Lu Xian was deeply moved, his fists clenched tightly as his chest swelled with surging blood.
Gu An was pleased with his reaction. It only took a few words to win someone over; why not do it?
Gu An walked over to the stone table nearby and sat down, while Lu Xian, now fully attentive, hurriedly followed.
Lu Xian sat across from Gu An and asked anxiously, "Is it because of your extraordinary talent, or are you a reincarnated powerhouse, or perhaps you're hiding your true age?"
Gu An looked at him and said, "When you reach the Immortal Dao realm, you will understand a stage called the Cycle Tribulation."
Cycle Tribulation?
The very name made Lu Xian's heart race with excitement.
"You didn't come here just to confirm this, did you?" Gu An asked, already knowing Lu Xian's intention but wanting to hear it from him.
Lu Xian took a deep breath and said, "The Dark Abyss Empire has invited me to join them. Recently, I've also been considering leaving His Majesty. In your opinion, is the Dark Abyss Empire a good choice?"
Gu An was aware of the rift between Lu Xian and Li Xuandao. As Li Xuandao grew stronger, he, like Gu An, began to unleash his true nature, becoming increasingly domineering, which only increased the pressure on those around him.
"If it's just about using them as a stepping stone, then it's indeed a good choice," Gu An replied. "But if you want to stay in the Dark Abyss Empire forever, you will perish with them."
Lu Xian's eyes widened in surprise. "The Dark Abyss Empire will be destroyed?"
Gu An smiled and said, "To be precise, all the powers in this universe will be destroyed, and all the old forces will turn to dust."
"Including the Taixuan Sect and the Taicang Imperial Dynasty?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Because the universe has its own evolution, and the Heavenly Dao has its own predestined fate."
"This... Does that mean all my efforts up till now are meaningless?" Lu Xian's face turned pale, and he was in a daze.
Gu An shook his head, his words carrying profound meaning, "There will always be survivors, but think about it. If all the powers in the world disappear and ninety-nine percent of the living beings turn to dust, and you survive, enduring for a while longer, what status will you hold in this new world?"
Lu Xian's face lit up with joy, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He even overlooked how he would survive until the end. The mere thought of becoming one of the supreme beings in the universe was enough to thrill him.
His gaze towards Gu An changed, and his eyes were now filled with admiration.
What kind of cultivation did it take to foresee the ultimate fate of the universe?
He didn't doubt Gu An's words, as he had also heard some legends about the universe's evolution. Throughout history, there had been numerous world-ending crises that swept across the entire universe.
Based on Gu An's situation, the universe's destruction seemed far away, as he couldn't see any signs of it.
A
Lu Xian was excited and started asking questions.
Gu An did not reveal the heavenly trends, but he could share some insignificant information, which was also a way to help Lu Baitian take care of his son.
Half a shichen later.
Gu An, accompanied by Lu Xian, walked out of the cave mansion. Luo Hun watched Lu Xian's respectful demeanor and couldn't help but find it amusing.
Lu Xian was proud and had never shown such reverence, not even to His Majesty.
Gu An wondered what this young man was capable of that could make Lu Xian, such a heavenly genius, submit.
Luo Hun watched from a distance and then approached.
"Gu An, where's the book?" Luo Hun asked as he reached Gu An.
Gu An casually took out Dream of the Red Chamber and handed it to him, saying, "Green Hero's Journey, the author went out to break through for a while."
Luo Hun's face turned red, and he said, "What's Green Hero's Journey? I only like Dream of the Red Chamber!"
Lu Xian curiously asked, "What book is Green Hero's Journey?"
Luo Hun knew about Dream of the Red Chamber because he was interested in Gu An, so he had read all of Gu An's books.
An Xian walked over and heard their conversation, and she couldn't help but look at Luo Hun with a strange expression, making him feel extremely embarrassed, wishing he could find a crack to hide in.
After Gu An left the Ends of the Earth Valley with An Xian and the Blood Prison Great Sage, An Xian started badmouthing Luo Hun, saying she never expected Senior Luo Hun to read such a lowly book.
Gu An looked ahead, feeling displeased.
You little brat, how dare you criticize someone indirectly!
Later, when guiding her cultivation, he would make her suffer a little.
...
In the wilderness, a gentle breeze blew.
An Hao, dressed as a swordsman, strolled on the mountain path. He lifted his hands, and the sword sheath passed through his arm, resting on his shoulder. His head was tilted back, and his expression was carefree.
After achieving the Nirvana Realm, he completely shed his awkwardness, and his entire being exuded an air of profound and unfathomable quality, showcasing the elegance of a Daoist master.
Whoosh—
A gust of wind blew from the front, ruffling An Hao's hair, and his half-closed eyes suddenly opened.
He looked at the top of the hill ahead, where a tall figure stood, his black robe fluttering in the wind.
Annihilation Emperor!
An Hao realized that he couldn't see the person's true appearance, indicating that the person's cultivation was extremely high or that they possessed a supreme treasure.
He felt that the former was more likely.
An Hao had traveled far and wide for many years and had encountered countless powerful beings, but none were as mysterious and powerful as this person.
He wasn't afraid and continued walking towards him.
The Annihilation Emperor stood on the hillside, motionless.
When An Hao passed by him, the Annihilation Emperor suddenly spoke, "Your life destiny is not simple. You are destined not to belong to this world."
An Hao stopped walking, but instead of turning his head, he looked at the distant majestic mountains and peaks and asked, "Oh? Then which world do I belong to?"
"A higher world. You can go there after surpassing the Immortal Dao's Nine Heavens."
"Is that so? May I ask where you are from?"
An Hao didn't feel surprised, and his tone remained calm.
The Annihilation Emperor turned around, and An Hao turned with him. The two faced each other, only five steps apart.
Looking at the darkness beneath the Annihilation Emperor's helmet, An Hao felt apprehensive but not afraid.
Before achieving Nirvana, An Hao had often faced existences far beyond his realm. No matter where he was, he never feared, as he had long since accepted life and death with equanimity.
Suddenly, a purple vortex appeared beneath the Annihilation Emperor's helmet, and An Hao instinctively looked at it, his expression changing and becoming lifeless.
