Chapter 472: Heavenly Dao Golden Core, The Strongest Fate
Inside the attic, Gu An and Li Ya were drinking together, with Li Ya drinking quickly and shooting resentful glances at Gu An.
Gu An's face turned stern as he said, "Are you being disrespectful to the Ancestor?"
Li Ya's eyes widened in shock, and he slammed his hand on the table as he stood up and shouted, "You're taking advantage of me again! Come on, let's fight!"
Gu An laughed and said, "Are you sure?"
Li Ya was taken aback, and his anger suddenly dissipated. He sat down, looking a bit aggrieved, but for some reason, after Gu An's deliberate provocation, he felt less pressure.
If Gu An had maintained the aloof demeanor of the Dao Support Sword Lord, considering the care Gu An had shown him, Li Ya wouldn't have known how to face him. Now that Gu An had brought him into a master-disciple relationship, he naturally felt more at ease.
"Gu An, who exactly are you? We entered the valley together back then..."
Li Ya took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask, as this was the most puzzling thing to him.
Back then, when the two met as teenagers, he never would have imagined that his former close disciple would become so formidable.
Now, as he thought about it, the reputation of the Dao Support Sword Lord seemed to have started with protecting him...
When he and his sister, Li Xuan Yu, encountered an attack by demonic cultivators, it was the Dao Support Sword Lord who intervened and saved them. At that time, he wasn't known as the Dao Support Sword Lord but as the Flying Leaf Sword Immortal.
As everything connected, Li Ya had no reason to blame Gu An, and now he was only curious.
Gu An replied, "In past lives and the present, reincarnation is constant. Who can truly understand their own origins? Instead of dwelling on the past, why not accept the present and look forward to the future?"
"Who I am is not important. What matters is the bond between us. You don't need to feel burdened by my help, and I hope you'll think about what kind of person you'll become in the future."
He looked intently at Li Ya, and his eyes seemed to see right through Li Ya's thoughts.
Li Ya was surprised that Gu An could understand what he was thinking, but when he recalled the power of the Dao Support Sword Lord, he calmed down.
A being beyond the ninth heaven of the Immortal Dao possessed abilities and foresight beyond his imagination.
Then, Li Ya began to envision the future, and Gu An listened attentively.
Li Ya was his first true friend in this life, and even though there was a vast difference in their cultivation levels, it didn't change Li Ya's position in Gu An's heart.
Perhaps Gu An had already helped Li Ya a lot, but these were just casual acts for Gu An, and he hadn't gotten himself into trouble by helping Li Ya.
T
Gu An didn't just listen; he explained the realms of the ninth heaven of the Immortal Dao one by one and also described the opportunities of each realm, making Li Ya's heart yearn for them.
They continued chatting until nightfall, and from time to time, their laughter could be heard.
Under the starry sky, with the moon and stars shining brightly...
An Xian came to the attic and looked up at the window, sighing, "It's been a long time since Master was this happy."
The Blood Prison Great Sage, who was meditating nearby, scoffed. He didn't like Li Ya, but under his master's attic, he didn't dare speak ill of Li Ya.
An Xian watched from below for a while before turning to leave.
Ever since Ye Lan's passing, she had been worried about Gu An.
In her eyes, her master's mood was even more important than the entire world. If her master were to go to extremes, all living beings would be in peril.
Fortunately, her master always remained cheerful and open-minded, as if nothing could make him lose his way.
After this incident, An Xian admired Gu An even more.
As the moon set and the sun rose, the next morning, Li Ya left.
In front of the Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, the Absolute Luo Sword Lord watched Li Ya's back with a thoughtful expression.
"His fate has actually changed..."
He turned his head to look at Gu An's attic, filled with curiosity.
What realm had the Holy Ancestor reached? He couldn't understand, but just thinking about stepping into an even higher realm soon made his heart burn with anticipation.
...
Beneath the dazzling starry sky, a massive stone bridge stretched across the cosmos, its edges shimmering with colorful rainbow light.
Two figures walked on the bridge—the Yang Xian Emperor and An Hao.
The Yang Xian Emperor walked in front, his long golden robe flowing behind him, and as he moved, dragon energy encircled him.
An Hao followed behind, looking around in awe.
Finally, his gaze fell on the front, where the end of the stone bridge held a golden-red orb like a blazing sun, symbolizing hope and radiating attraction.
An Hao's pupils flashed with an unusual light, and he felt a surge of power.
An Hao, carefully sense this—it is the most powerful force in the world, a blessing from the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao legacy passed down through the ages is but a mere fraction of its power."
As Yang Xian Emperor walked, he spoke with an air of mystery, as if even he himself was filled with anticipation.
An Hao couldn't help but ask, "What is the Heavenly Dao? How does it differ from the Great Dao?"
After stepping into the Immortal Realm, he, too, began to comprehend the Great Dao. The higher his cultivation, the deeper his reverence for the Great Dao became. Yet, he struggled to understand the existence of the Heavenly Dao.
The Heavenly Dao was everywhere, just like the Great Dao, but it was less tangible, as if it were a fusion of countless rules.
"Heaven and Earth are the Heavenly Dao, all living beings are the Heavenly Dao, and the universe is the Great Dao. The Great Dao gives birth to the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao gives birth to all things. In my view, the Heavenly Dao is a power that arises from the Great Dao, and it is even more perfect and powerful."
Yang Xian Emperor spoke slowly, his steps never slowing.
An Hao listened and began to ponder these words.
After a long while, they finally reached the end of the long bridge and stood before the golden-red orb, appearing minuscule like grains of sand before a towering mountain.
Yang Xian Emperor raised his head, gazing up at the golden-red orb, and said, "The rulers of past Immortal Dynasties all contemplated the Heavenly Dao. They believed that only by truly understanding the Heavenly Dao could one have the qualification to transcend and establish an Immortal Dynasty. The First Immortal Emperor, who founded the Immortal Dynasty, claimed the title of Immortal Emperor, wishing to rival the heavens. But he met with calamity, and the Immortal Dynasty was destroyed. It was only after many years that someone else established the Immortal Dynasty anew."
"That was the first time the Immortal Dynasty felt the power of the Heavenly Dao and understood that in the darkness, all living beings were being guided by an unseen force."
An Hao listened intently, his gaze fixed on the golden-red orb, penetrating the golden-red flames. What he saw was darkness, a darkness that even Nirvana Realm cultivators found oppressive.
He couldn't help but ask, "If it's truly invisible and intangible, then what is it?"
Yang Xian Emperor replied, "This is a Golden Core left behind by a supreme being who obtained the power of the Heavenly Dao."
"What? A Golden Core? How is that possible!"
An Hao's eyes widened in shock.
No matter how he looked at it, it didn't resemble a Golden Core! Yang Xian Emperor's expression became complex. "This was discovered by the Immortal Dynasty during their pursuit of the power of the Heavenly Dao. It is located in the deepest part of the Heaven-Spirit Great World and is known as the Heavenly Dao Golden Core. Every epoch, the Heavenly Dao Golden Core reveals some information to us. This is why the Immortal Dynasty stands unshakeable. Even the Holy Court cannot destroy our Immortal Dynasty."
"Through the Heavenly Dao Golden Core, we learned that the Heaven-Spirit Great World was once shattered, and the current Heaven-Spirit Great World is just one fragment, but the most important one."
An Hao inquired further, "Why did the supreme being fall? Could it be related to the battle that shattered the heavens and earth?"
"We don't know either, but the power of the Heavenly Dao Golden Core is endless. It is this power that allows the beings of the Immortal Dynasty to be born with the Immortal Realm cultivation." Yang Xian Emperor answered, turning to face An Hao.
An Hao couldn't help but meet his gaze, and under his stare, he felt a pressure that made him furrow his brows.
Yang Xian Emperor's eyes shone with intensity as he said, "An Hao, you are the son of destiny. No one has a fate stronger than yours. You have the Sword Sovereign as your master, and you've received the most powerful legacy of the Immortal Dynasty. You will become the strongest under the Heavenly Dao. If you were to open a new epoch, in the next epoch, the Immortal Dynasty would undoubtedly be even stronger. You can do what we couldn't."
Just as An Hao was about to respond, he suddenly turned his head towards the Heavenly Dao Golden Core.
"What sound is that?"
An Hao asked in a deep voice, his gaze moving across the Heavenly Dao Golden Core as if searching for something.
Yang Xian Emperor watched him, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. His expression changed, becoming excited.
"Even the Heavenly Dao Golden Core has chosen him? What kind of fate is this, as if everything in the world was tailored just for him..."
Yang Xian Emperor looked at An Hao, feeling a sense of wonder, and even he couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy.
An Hao soon noticed something amiss and turned to Yang Xian Emperor, asking, "Your Majesty, can't you hear it?"
Yang Xian Emperor replied, "The ruler of the Immortal Dynasty can obtain the legacy of the Heavenly Dao Golden Core through fate. But at the end of every epoch, the Heavenly Dao Golden Core will choose its successor on its own. Perhaps you've already been chosen by it. What did you hear just now?"
An Hao hesitated for a moment, then said, "I heard a voice telling me to escape quickly..."
