Chapter 487: Tyrant Heaven Mechanism, Ji Yuan Mo Qi
In the dim void, thick fog surged, and star clouds appeared and disappeared. Suspended at the source of the light was a grand hall, above which nine suns were arranged in a fan-like formation.
Below the Nine Suns, a black throne stood on a high platform, occupied by a majestic figure.
He wore armor, his stature towering, and a divine crown adorned his head, resembling a Qilin's skull. His cold and dignified face protruded from the crown.
White hair fluttered around his face, and he propped his cheek with one hand, his posture relaxed. He exhaled turbid breath, resembling a true dragon at rest.
A bolt of lightning struck from the depths of the darkness, landing on the grand hall and transforming into a winged man. He wore a dark green Daoist robe, his face stern and his long hair casually hanging loose like a fierce ghost.
Before the seated man, the winged man seemed so small, as if facing a towering mountain.
"My lord, it seems that the power of immortal deities is interfering in this universe." The winged man spoke, his tone heavy with obvious apprehension towards the immortal deities.
The seated man slowly opened his eyes, his golden pupils making him appear even more imposing and oppressive.
"Immortal deities? Absurd. In this vast world, there is only one immortal deity, who does not intervene in conflicts within the realm. Moreover, this world once betrayed the immortal deities, and their dissatisfaction with this realm is not so easily dispelled."
His gaze turned towards the depths of the universe, and the image of the Heavenly Spirit Great World was reflected in his pupils.
Upon hearing this, the winged man frowned and asked, "Do you mean someone is pretending to be an immortal deity?"
The seated man replied, "Whether it's the Heavenly Dao or the immortal deities, they all act with tyranny, but they wouldn't engage in such roundabout actions. However, it's convenient for them to test the depth of the Heavenly Spirit Great World. Our task is to capture the remnants of the Long family."
The winged man pressed further, "But within the Heavenly Spirit Great World lies the Heavenly Dao Golden Core. Why don't we take it while we're at it?"
The seated man did not respond but closed his eyes instead.
The grand hall fell silent, and the nine suns continued to burn brightly, bringing endless light to the void.
Suddenly...
The winged man seemed to sense something and turned abruptly. In the depths of the void's darkness, a pair of giant eyes appeared, staring at them.
These eyes were like the eyes of the universe, and even the star clouds before them no longer seemed majestic.
"The descendants of the Long family are indeed in the Heavenly Spirit Great World, and they will compete for the Mandate of Heaven." A hoarse voice resonated.
This voice belonged to Crane Qing Song, but it was more assertive, as if a supreme deity was announcing the rules of the world to the heavens and earth.
The seated man opened his eyes and said mockingly, "Who do you think I am? I didn't expect you to still be searching for him."
The void's giant eyes fixed on him and spoke, "Ji Yuan Mo Qi, we can join forces. Perhaps the Long family's people are hiding under the Dao Support Sword Venerable's command. If so, you can't avoid him either. He's the one who even the Annihilation Emperor suffered a loss against. I propagate the Mandate of Heaven, and you annihilate the remnants of your enemies. Our actions do not conflict."
The seated man, referred to as Ji Yuan Mo Qi, remained unmoved, calmly staring at the eyes without revealing his thoughts.
The void fell silent once more.
"Unless you tell me who the descendants of the Long family are, I won't easily trust you." Ji Yuan Mo Qi spoke.
The void's giant eyes narrowed slightly, and Ji Yuan Mo Qi continued, "But you have another option: give me the Heavenly Dao Golden Core, and I might consider helping you."
The Heavenly Dao Golden Core!
The void's giant eyes immediately turned cold, and Ji Yuan Mo Qi closed his eyes.
The winged man in the hall smiled and mockingly looked at the void's giant eyes, waiting for their decision.
After a long time, the void's giant eyes spoke, "Not now. When the Heavenly Dao Golden Core appears, I won't stop you. Instead, I'll let you in."
Tyrant Heaven Mechanism heard this and a carefree smile appeared on his face.
...
Another thirty years passed.
At the age of 1943, Gu An was playing chess with the Nine-Finger Divine Lord, holding a copy of the Green Hero Chronicles in one hand and a chess piece in the other, his gaze fixed on the book.
The Nine-Finger Divine Lord, almost in a losing position, glanced at Gu An and said with dissatisfaction, "When playing chess with me, do you have to be so perfunctory?"
Gu An replied, "Please, it's you who insisted on playing with me."
Profound Heaven Intention had already reached the Nirvana Realm as a grand cultivator, but as more and more grand cultivators emerged from the Taixuan Sect, his fame was overshadowed. He often traveled around and rarely returned, sending Gu An new books every once in a while. Gu An always had the latest editions, and only after he finished reading them would the Green Hero Chronicles begin to circulate in the market.
This volume had an impressive plot. The male protagonist encountered a beauty with whom he had a deep-rooted grudge, and they engaged in a chase at sea. Eventually, they were attacked by a powerful demon, both of them were poisoned and temporarily lost their cultivation. Stranded on a deserted island, they became entangled in a love-hate relationship. Even without other characters, the interactions between them and the island's demons were fascinating to watch.
"The Absolute Luo Sword Lord holds eight volumes of the Heavenly Dao Theory. He is waiting in the Freedom Sword City he created, saying that if he loses, he will hand over all eight volumes. But even so, the last volume of the Heavenly Dao Theory has yet to appear."
The Nine-Finger Divine Lord sighed as he spoke, his face filled with admiration when mentioning the Absolute Luo Sword Lord.
His cultivation realm was far inferior to that of the Absolute Luo Sword Lord, so he deeply respected him. Moreover, they had played chess together in the past, and this connection made him pay special attention to news about the Absolute Luo Sword Lord.
Gu An casually asked, "What? Are you very interested in the True Immortal Heritage? You can also challenge him. What if you win?"
"How could I possibly win? I'm only at the Wandering Immortal Realm, while he is at the Ninth Heaven of Immortal Dao. Even if I cultivate for tens of thousands of years, I might not reach his level," said the Nine-Finger Divine Lord, his eyes wide.
Seeing that he didn't want to continue the game and was changing the subject, Gu An sighed and said, "Tens of thousands of years? Can you live that long?"
The Nine-Finger Divine Lord was furious and stood up, leaving with a flick of his sleeve.
Gu An rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that the man had no chess etiquette.
He got up and walked towards the exit of the dojo. Along the way, disciples and cultivators bowed to him as they saw him.
He walked towards the valley entrance, where a woman was pacing back and forth at that moment.
This woman was Ye Qing Xue, Ye Lan's disciple.
At the age of nearly a thousand years, she had already reached the Soul Transformation Realm. Two thousand years ago, she could have traveled across the continent with ease, but in the current Taixuan Sect, her status was not as high as some of the new disciples with exceptional talents.
Ye Qing Xue wore a yellow robe, and from a distance, she spotted Gu An's figure. She was delighted and was about to take a step forward, but then hesitated.
When she was young, she had been disrespectful and hostile towards Gu An, thinking that her master was so powerful that she shouldn't have to flatter Gu An. However, after learning that Gu An was the Dao Support Sword Venerable, she realized how ridiculous she had been. Because of this, she dared not meet Gu An, and after her master passed away, she concealed their relationship and didn't tell anyone about it.
Aside from the Elder Hall, no one knew of her connection with Gu An.
Seeing Gu An approaching her, Ye Qing Xue's heart was filled with anxiety.
Could it be that Senior Uncle had predicted her arrival and came to receive her? She thought it was very likely, after all, Senior Uncle was the Dao Support Sword Venerable. But she also feared that she was being overly sentimental.
Their relationship wasn't particularly close, and Senior Uncle surely had many such relationships. It wouldn't be possible for him to care about every junior. Ye Qing Xue stood in her original spot, feeling extremely nervous and caught in a dilemma.
