Chapter 473: The Chosen One, Shouldering Grudges
"Escape quickly?"
Upon hearing An Hao's name, Yang Xian Di frowned and asked, "Why escape? And where are you planning to flee to?"
Just as An Hao was about to speak, suddenly, the Heavenly Dao Golden Core within him erupted with blazing golden flames, swiftly piercing into An Hao's forehead at an incredible speed.
In an instant, An Hao's eyes widened, and he raised his hand to grasp his head. He tilted his head back, and a thin golden line appeared on his forehead, resembling an eye slit.
Yang Xian Di was shocked and turned around to look at the Heavenly Dao Golden Core.
The Heavenly Dao Golden Core stood firmly ahead, unmoving, emanating an ancient aura as if it were the oldest existence in the world. It had witnessed the ocean turning into fields, the stars shifting in the sky, and countless experiences had shaped its current unfathomable aura.
An Hao knelt on the ground, his entire body trembling, his face contorted in pain, clearly enduring unimaginable suffering.
Yang Xian Di rushed to his side, wanting to help him, but he was pushed away by a powerful force.
He flew out several hundred zhang away, and after landing, he stumbled backward a few steps. He raised his right hand, and to his surprise, his right hand was scorched and dripping with blood.
He looked up at An Hao, his eyebrows furrowed.
An Hao knelt, his face turned downward, and strands of fiery flames seeped through the gaps between his fingers. His body trembled, and he was unable to make a sound.
"Could he really be the chosen one?"
Yang Xian Di muttered to himself, his expression complex.
He had chosen An Hao because of his unique fate, but there was another reason—he wanted to associate himself with Dao Support Sword Lord.
An Hao was the only true disciple of Dao Support Sword Lord.
However, he never expected that as soon as An Hao arrived, without doing anything, he had gained the recognition of the Heavenly Dao Golden Core. Throughout the history of Immortal Dynasty, he had never heard of a similar occurrence.
"An Hao, who exactly are you?"
An Hao couldn't hear Yang Xian Di's voice at this moment. He was enduring pain beyond imagination, not only in his physical body, which felt like it was being torn apart, but also in his soul, which was enduring terrible torment.
He saw many scenes, all of which were the ones he feared the most.
He witnessed the tragic deaths of his wife and child, the suffering of his junior sister, and even his master's tombstone. All of this was stimulating him.
"If you don't escape, you will end up like them."
A cold voice echoed in his ears repeatedly, stirring his heart and mind.
...
Thirty-seven years later, just after the New Year.
Gu An was walking within the Outer Gate City, followed by Blood Prison Great Sage and Long Qing.
Three hundred years ago, Divine Son of Heart had returned to the Sea of Suffering Buddhist Sect. Ever since then, Long Qing had become Gu An's constant companion, eagerly following him wherever he went.
Along the way, wherever Gu An went, people would greet him, mostly his friends or disciples he had taught.
After more than four hundred years, the shock brought by Dao Support Sword Lord had finally calmed down. Under the suppression of the Taixuan Sect's secret hall, those who knew Gu An's identity would no longer spread the news, and Dao Support Sword Lord once again became a legend.
Even without the name of Dao Support Sword Lord, Gu An, as the valley master of the Third Medicine Valley, also had a significant reputation.
"Master, does the Heaven-Shattering Axe truly have a legacy? Could it be a trick you intentionally left behind?" Long Qing quickened his steps and came to Gu An's side, asking curiously.
From time to time, he would also go to the Heaven Repairing Platform to try to pull out the Heaven-Shattering Axe, but no matter what, he couldn't budge the axe.
Nowadays, those who attempted to test the Heaven-Shattering Axe were mostly there to experience the power of Dao Support Sword Lord, rather than genuinely seeking the legacy.
Gu An gazed forward and replied, "Of course there is. You will sense it in the future."
Long Qing wanted to ask more, but he suddenly looked up.
Not only him, but Blood Prison Great Sage also did the same.
They saw countless silver meteor trails across the azure sky, all heading in the same direction, creating a magnificent sight.
The cultivators on the street also began to notice the anomaly in the sky.
"What is that?"
"Is it sword energy?"
"No, there's someone inside. It might be a major sect flying across the sky."
"Someone? It doesn't seem like they're flying over our heads; it's more like they're descending from the sky."
"Rest assured, this is the Taixuan Sect. Perhaps it's not the strongest sect, but it's absolutely the safest. Over these years, the Holy Court and the Immortal Dynasty have been in constant conflict, attacking each other, but the flames of war have never reached the Taixuan Sect.
The cultivators were abuzz with discussion, but Gu An merely glanced at them before withdrawing his gaze and continuing on his way.
Xue Yu Da Sheng and Long Qing caught up, and they began discussing the origins of the meteors.
Xue Yu Da Sheng's divine sense detected that the meteors were indeed a group of people enveloped in sword energy, and they had come from beyond the heavens. This piqued Long Qing's curiosity about the world beyond even more.
Although Long Qing still hadn't cultivated spiritual power, as he grew older, he could sense that he was from beyond the heavens and that some kind of mission awaited him.
He was no longer as anxious and instead began to enjoy life. He had a premonition that once he understood his mission, this life would be the luxury of his remaining years.
Gu An saw through the origins of those sword cultivators at a glance.
Da Hong Jian Tian!
Jue Luo Jian Jun had summoned them.
Da Hong Jian Tian prepared to establish a sect in the waters near the Great Cang Continent to support Gu An in the future.
Gu An wasn't too concerned about this. He was more focused on another matter.
That was the appearance of Xiao Chuan's Dao-Annihilation Life Seal! In other words, Xiao Chuan was about to be born in the Heavenly Spirit Grand Universe!
After so many years, Gu An had finally waited for Xiao Chuan.
Just thinking about seeing his junior martial brother again made Gu An feel delighted, and he even started humming a little tune.
Seeing that Gu An was in a good mood, Long Qing boldly asked about the origins of the sword cultivators he had just seen.
"There will be plenty of opportunities to interact with them in the future," Gu An replied casually. He now seemed even more like an enlightened master, knowing everything but unwilling to speak, letting others experience it for themselves.
Believe it or not, this feeling of foreseeing the future and witnessing fate was quite enjoyable.
At the same time, in the mountains, a wooden house stood on a mountainside, and a couple stood at the edge of a cliff, gazing at the lush green mountains and waters.
The woman held a baby in her arms and looked down at her son with a worried expression on her beautiful face.
She turned to look at her husband beside her and said, "Husband, you haven't named our child yet. Are you not planning to go back?"
Her husband wore black clothes, and his handsome face had slightly white hair at the temples, making him look mature yet with a hint of weariness.
"It's because of his birth that I must return. Ling-er, you should understand that if we don't go back, our family of three will never find peace. Those enemies won't let me off easily," the man in black said, his voice heavy with concern.
His name was Chen Luo, and his wife was Xu Ling. As they spoke, the couple moved closer to each other.
Xu Ling leaned on his shoulder, looking perplexed as she asked, "Is there truly no place for us in the Holy Domain? Should we leave the Holy Domain?"
Chen Luo sighed, "The outside world is even more chaotic and dangerous. Even with our Great Enlightenment Realm cultivation, it would be extremely difficult to protect our son without a powerful backer. Let's go back. At worst, I'll kneel before my mother and admit my mistakes. You've already given birth to our child, and I'm sure she won't make things difficult for you."
"But..." Xu Ling hesitated, wanting to say more.
Chen Luo turned and grabbed her shoulders, saying, "Ling-er, trust me. Even if I die, I will protect you and our son. I don't want to see you hurt again, and I don't want our son to be burdened with grudges from the start."
The baby in Xu Ling's arms opened his eyes, and his bright gaze made her heart melt.
"Yes, we can't let him bear grudges..." Xu Ling murmured to herself, convincing herself.
Chen Luo smiled and said, "When I first saw this little one, I felt that good fortune would come. Rest assured, I heard that my father just returned from serving the Holy Minister. With him in the family, my mother won't dare to cause trouble."
Xu Ling took a deep breath and nodded slightly.
Seeing her agreement, Chen Luo finally relaxed and tightly embraced his wife.
"I swear that I will let you live a stable life, and I will help you avenge your family's annihilation," Chen Luo said earnestly, gazing into the distance.
Xu Ling trembled slightly and didn't respond but instead closed her eyes slowly.
White cranes flew out from the forest across the mountain, soaring towards the horizon, forming a human-shaped formation. The sunlight shone on them, making them look like immortal cranes, as if carrying hope and flying towards the ends of the earth.
