Chapter 454: The Demon God's Arrival
Chapter 454: The Demon God's Arrival
After seeing Gu An's agreement, Zhu Xhi pushed the Divine Principle Discourse towards her. She didn't immediately pick it up but instead looked at Gu An and asked, "Master, do you truly know about my bloodline?"
Gu An replied, "In fact, your background is very ordinary, and there are no cause and effect entanglements that will trouble you. Your talent is heaven-blessed, and you are born with the fortune of the heavens. You are known as the Primordial Swallowing Essence Body."
Primordial Swallowing Essence Body!
Upon hearing these five words, Zhu Xhi couldn't help but fall into a daze. She didn't know why, but she inexplicably acknowledged this name, as if it had awakened her long-forgotten memories.
Gu An encouraged her, "Cultivate diligently, and one day, you will stand at the pinnacle of the Immortal Path, becoming the person you currently admire and even surpassing them."
Hearing these words, Zhu Xhi wanted to ask, "Can I surpass you?"
Even though she was not the most well-mannered, she wouldn't be so bold as to ask such a question. She only dared to think it in her heart.
Gu An began to inquire about Zhu Xhi's cultivation situation, and as Zhu Xhi lowered her guard, she started to share her cultivation troubles. At the same time, Gu An was divining the cause and effect of the authentic text of the Divine Principle Discourse.
This Divine Principle Discourse possessed the ability to transform reality into illusion. For example, in a battle, it could make the injuries Zhu Xhi sustained become illusory, as if she hadn't been injured at all, delaying the manifestation of harm. Simultaneously, it could also make non-existent spells and divine abilities attack, causing the opponent to mistakenly believe they had suffered severe injuries when they hadn't, and this effect would persist for a while before dissipating.
This power was different from cause and effect; it was a unique force of the Great Dao. Currently, Gu An hadn't delved into this Great Dao, but he was very interested in it.
After half an hour, Gu An stood up, preparing to leave.
"Master, why don't you keep the Divine Principle Discourse for now? When I need it, I'll come to ask for it," Zhu Xhi handed the Divine Principle Discourse to Gu An, speaking seriously. In her heart, she was reluctant to part with it, but knowing its origins, she felt apprehensive about the book, finding it a bit too hot to handle.
The most crucial point was that Gu An could see through the book's origins, which implied that he was likely stronger than the force behind the book.
Moreover, she could sense Gu An's interest in the Divine Principle Discourse; otherwise, he wouldn't have come personally to find her. Since Gu An had expressed his intention to nurture her, why not be more open?
Gu An smiled and took the Divine Principle Discourse, thinking she was rather sensible.
After Gu An left, Zhu Xhi closed the door to her room, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Not just her, but anyone with a cautious nature like hers would be afraid to know that a supreme being was constantly watching them.
She carefully reviewed her previous words, making sure she hadn't said anything wrong, and only then did she truly relax.
She sat back down on her bed, her gaze turning towards the window. Her eyes were distant, and her heart was filled with emotion.
Why was she always afraid?
She felt that her personality wasn't necessarily a good thing, but when facing anyone, she instinctively maintained her guard. When encountering potential trouble, her first reaction was always to avoid it.
But that's how people are; even if they know their personality flaws, it's difficult to change.
After thinking for a while, she withdrew her gaze and continued her cultivation.
...
After chatting with Zhu Xhi, Gu An would offer guidance on cultivating the Path Treading Age Step every few days. During other times, he would either pick flowers and herbs or delve into the Great Dao powers mentioned in the Divine Principle Discourse.
He didn't directly absorb this power but instead sensed its presence, seeking similar rules within the vast universe that couldn't be perceived, and contemplating them.
By doing so, he could feel a purer force of the Great Dao and avoid being manipulated by the force behind the Divine Principle Discourse.
The universe was vast, and the invisible, colorless rules of the Great Dao were countless. They were the foundation of the universe, and it was because of them that the universe and all things within it came into existence. Each rule of the Great Dao was boundless, and even though Gu An had contemplated the Great Dao of Cause and Effect and the Great Dao of Destiny, compared to one of these rules, the difference was like heaven and earth. He couldn't yet imagine what kind of realm could be powerful enough to rival the Great Dao.
As Gu An began to contemplate the Great Dao and reduced his leisure time, the passage of time began to accelerate.
In the blink of an eye, another forty-five years had passed.
During this summer, Gu An arrived at the secluded paradise of Tianhuang Mountain. The three demons, Tianyaoer, had already moved into the secluded paradise, and the medicinal herbs from the Nianchu Cave Mansion had also been transferred there.
As the small world created by Gu An, the rules of the secluded paradise became increasingly complete, and the spiritual energy within was abundant, allowing Tianyaoer and the others' cultivation to steadily increase.
Today, Tianyaoer's cultivation had reached the ninth layer of the Great Enlightenment Realm, and she was ready to break through at any moment.
Gu An planned to take her out to face the tribulation, to avoid damaging the secluded paradise.
Upon hearing that they could go out, Tianyaoer was thrilled, and Tianqing and Tianbai also clamored to join, clinging to Gu An's arms in a playful manner.
Tianqing was alluring and full of charm, her mature demeanor making her seem like an older sister. Tianbai, on the other hand, was more innocent but loved to act coquettish, always speaking in a coy and playful tone. The two sisters worked together, softening Gu An's heart, and he could only agree to take them along.
Seeing their wish fulfilled, Tianyaoer shooed them away and held onto Gu An's arm, asking, "Master, after I successfully break through, can I always follow you from now on?"
She had been cultivating underground for almost a thousand years, and she was only seventeen when she first arrived. Now, at the age of nine hundred and eighty-nine, how could she not be curious about the vast world outside?
Gu An replied, "That's not possible. If you leave, who will help me guard this paradise? Tianqing, Tianbai, I can't put my mind at ease."
Upon hearing this, Tianyaoer's face immediately drooped, feeling dejected.
Gu An's tone shifted, "However, occasionally taking you out for a stroll isn't entirely impossible."
"Thank you, Master!"
Tianyaoer's face lit up with a smile, and she quickly expressed her gratitude to Gu An.
Gu An glanced at her; despite being nearly a thousand years old, she still had the demeanor of a young girl. Perhaps it was time for her to experience the mortal world, for if she reached a higher realm without the life experiences of mortals, it might become a difficult journey.
He continued walking forward, accompanied by Tianyaoer, while Tianqing and Tianbai jumped around, retaining their cat-like nature.
As Gu An chatted with Tianyaoer, listening to her laughter, his mood also became cheerful.
Suddenly, the ground trembled, and the spiritual energy in the secluded paradise began to surge chaotically, as if doomsday had arrived.
Tianqing and Tianbai were startled and quickly stopped their play. Tianyaoer frowned, sensing a terrifying pressure coming from outside the paradise.
This pressure wasn't fleeting but persisted, becoming increasingly formidable.
"Master, what's going on?" Tianqing looked at Gu An with concern.
Gu An gazed up at the sky and said, "A demon god has descended, and the true tribulation of the Heavenly Spirit Great World is about to arrive."
Gu An had already seen the demon god standing before the black city beyond the heavens, a city created by the Annihilation Emperor.
The Primordial Abyss Demon God!
With a glance, Gu An deduced the origin of this demon god. Speaking of which, in Long Zhan's inherited memories, there were also legends of the Primordial Abyss Demon God, an ancient being. Long Zhan had only seen its skeletal remains, emanating an endless desolate aura.
Beside the Primordial Abyss Demon God stood another powerful being, the Tyrant of the Demon King.
A new month had begun. Remember to stay warm, it's been a while since we last spoke. Wishing everyone a prosperous November and good fortune!
