Chapter 474: Power from Beyond the Universe
Chapter 474: Power from Beyond the Universe
After strolling around the Outer Gate City for half a day, Gu An only returned to the valley at dusk.
Xue Yu Da Sheng and Long Qing were discussing the cultivation of the Great Hong Sword Heaven, and many disciples in the valley were also talking about it. So, they joined in on the conversation.
Perhaps it was because Gu An loved to chat that the entire Third Medicine Valley had become fond of idle chatter, and even Jue Luo Sword Lord occasionally went to the Daoist Ground to play chess and chat, gradually becoming more human-like.
Back in the attic, Gu An sat at the table, but his thoughts were on Xiao Chuan.
With a glance, he saw Xiao Chuan's life in this lifetime.
In this life, Xiao Chuan had a better background than his previous life. He had parents and a prominent family, and his natural talent was also quite impressive.
However, the one flaw was that Xiao Chuan's parents passed away when he was young, casting a shadow over his childhood.
After his parents' death, his grandparents still doted on him and gave him everything, but he always remembered the grudge against his parents' enemies.
As he grew up, he began to investigate the truth behind his parents' deaths. Thus, he went through numerous battles and finally discovered that his grandparents had forced his mother to her death, and his father, unable to bear the loss, followed suit. This caused Xiao Chuan to break down.
He eventually cut ties with the Chen Family and started a life of wandering, even though he later became a renowned powerhouse in the world. Still, his temperament remained cold and devoid of laughter.
Gu An had waited for Xiao Chuan for hundreds of years, and naturally, he couldn't bear to see him suffer.
He immediately transmitted a message to Yang Jian, asking him to take care of the matter.
Nowadays, Yang Jian had regained his status as a Saint King, and his cultivation was rapidly improving, reaching the level of a Dao Void Immortal.
Due to Gu An's influence, Yang Jian received great support from the Holy Realm, leading a battlefield and gaining widespread fame.
With Yang Jian's intervention, it was enough to resolve all the difficulties Xiao Chuan's parents were currently facing.
"Life is like a chess game. I hope that in this lifetime, you can walk out of the chessboard on your own."
Gu An picked up the Destiny Pen and began to write, scripting Xiao Chuan's life.
Summer passed, and autumn arrived.
One day, Gu An lay on a tree, reading a book while guiding Zhu Xi in her cultivation.
Zhu Xi sat in meditation under the tree, her hands constantly changing positions as she circulated her heart method, and her blue robe fluttered with the flow of energy.
In Gu An's hand was the Heavenly Dao Theory.
In recent years, the Heavenly Dao Theory had caused a stir, attracting countless cultivators to fight over it. The other eight true copies were scattered across the world, giving rise to numerous powerful cultivators.
After obtaining the Heavenly Dao Theory from Zhu Xi, Gu An would study it in his free time.
For the past few hundred years, this copy of the Heavenly Dao Theory had shown no abnormalities.
But in the recent year, the Heavenly Dao Theory had been emitting a strange cause-and-effect aura, faint yet noticeable. Gu An carefully sensed it and realized it was a sign, as if it were welcoming the arrival of a certain existence.
Could it be that the mysterious creator of the Heavenly Dao Theory was about to arrive in the Heavenly Spirit Great Universe?
It was highly possible that the Heavenly Dao Theory appeared out of thin air, and there must be a plan behind it.
Following the cause-and-effect deduction from the Heavenly Dao Theory, the scenes Gu An saw were constantly changing, and he even saw other universes.
"Master, this Heaven and Earth Primordial Cultivation Technique is incredibly powerful. I feel that to fully master it, it would take many years, and I even think it's more challenging to cultivate than the Primordial Dao Eternal Dao Step."
Zhu Xi looked up at Gu An with a sigh.
She had already reached the Great Enlightenment Realm, but it was only this year that she began to receive Gu An's true teachings. Before that, Gu An had only guided her through her cultivation difficulties.
Gu An replied, "That's natural. If you can cultivate it, this universe won't be able to hold you back in the future."
Zhu Xi's face lit up with an even broader smile upon hearing these words.
She was about to continue flattering Gu An when she saw him suddenly look up into the distance with a solemn expression.
"Master, what's wrong?" Zhu Xi asked in surprise.
She rarely saw Gu An with such an expression, not even when the Primordial Abyss Demon God wreaked havoc in the mortal world. She had never seen him frown.
Gu An replied, "Nothing much."
He was observing the Holy Domain, and Xiao Chuan's parents, Chen Luo and Xu Ling, had returned to the Chen Family, facing difficulties due to the Chen Family's hostility. The reason was that Xu Ling's family, the Xu Family, had been sworn enemies of the Chen Family.
Gu An, with his ability to perceive cause and effect, knew that the Xu Family's destruction was due to the Chen Family's secret machinations. They plotted against the Xu Family, framing them as spies for the Immortal Dynasty, ultimately leading to their annihilation by the Holy Court.
Xu Ling managed to escape with her life, thanks to Chen Luo's protection.
Chen Luo was unaware of this, which made him furious about his mother's treatment of his wife.
As the couple returned to the Chen Family with Xiao Chuan in their arms, they faced challenges. Fortunately, Yang Jian's reliable actions arrived in time to resolve the crisis.
As the Holy King, the entire Chen Family had to bow down to Yang Jian.
Yang Jian openly stated the reason for his visit—Xu Ling's unborn child. This child possessed extraordinary fate, and a transcendent being had taken an interest in him. Yang Jian hoped the child could live peacefully in his early years until the transcendent being came to take him.
Yang Jian also emphasized that the child should not bear grudges, lest it affect his cultivation of the Dao.
Chen Luo's mother's expression turned unnatural upon hearing this. However, facing Yang Jian, she could only force a smile.
Gu An had experienced this scene before, but he suddenly looked up because Xiao Chuan's fate had changed.
After Yang Jian's appearance, Xiao Chuan's destiny shifted, and Gu An sensed a mysterious force of cause and effect descending upon the child.
This force of cause and effect originated from an unknown place, suddenly appearing, and only Gu An's profound cultivation allowed him to perceive its existence.
Even with the protection of the Holy Court's fate, the powerful cultivators of the Holy Court did not sense this force of cause and effect infiltrating the Holy Domain.
As Gu An looked at Xiao Chuan's fate again, he saw chaos. In the dim void, Xiao Chuan walked alone, with thick fog swirling, obscuring his figure.
Whether looking back at the past or into his future, the scene remained the same.
Gu An had a bad premonition.
His involvement seemed to have given Xiao Chuan a beautiful childhood, but it also made his future enigmatic and uncertain.
It was evident that someone was plotting against Gu An in the shadows, which was why they targeted Xiao Chuan.
Gu An suspected that the perpetrator was outside the Boundary Gate, unable to cross the barrier of the Heavenly Spirit Deity and descend upon this universe. That was why they used cause and effect to scheme.
He fell into deep thought.
Seeing that Gu An didn't want to say more, Zhu Xi could only suppress her confusion and continue her cultivation with closed eyes.
Meanwhile, at the Chen Family mansion, the hall was filled with prosperity. Everyone gathered around Xu Ling, gazing at Xiao Chuan in her arms.
"This child is indeed extraordinary, with a holy aura radiating from his face."
"Of course, how else could the existence behind the Holy King take an interest in him? Our Chen Family will rise."
"Yes, what's this child's name? I can offer my daughter to him."
"You're dreaming. He's destined for the Great Principle. Put away your thoughts, or that great figure might look down upon our Chen Family."
The Chen Family cultivators kept praising Xiao Chuan, causing Xu Ling to smile continuously, feeling as if she were in a dream. This was entirely different from what she had imagined before coming, leaving her in a daze.
Chen Luo was also in a daze, complimenting Yang Jian alongside his father and the family elders.
Yang Jian sat in a chair, sipping tea while observing Xiao Chuan. He, too, was curious about why his master had taken an interest in this boy.
Just then, Xu Ling's expression changed abruptly. She opened her mouth, her pupils constricted, and her body stiffened.
Before anyone could react, she suddenly turned into a pool of blood and fell to the ground, with Xiao Chuan in his swaddling clothes following suit.
Yang Jian appeared out of thin air, catching Xiao Chuan, and looked at the blood beside him in shock. The hall fell silent.
