Chapter 492: Xuanxiu Immortal Lord
Chapter 492: Xuanxiu Immortal Lord
The battle between the two Dao Repository Freedom Immortals sent shockwaves through the Heaven and Earth, causing panic among all living beings. Even though they fought outside the world, the initial clash between them continued to wreak havoc on the world.
The vast ocean churned with giant waves, and the boundless plains were swept by fierce winds. Snowstorms raged atop the snow-capped mountains.
The people of the world fled in terror, while the sky roared with thunderous fury.
Inside his residence, Gu An foresaw that the Great Cang Continent would also be affected.
However, it wasn't a devastating blow, so he didn't plan to intervene. Instead, he wanted the people of the continent to be cautious.
He wanted them to realize that the so-called Heavenly Dao wouldn't protect them, and if they wanted to survive the turbulent times, they had to rely on themselves.
Gu An closed his eyes, no longer observing the scenes across the world.
As for the battle between the Yang Xian Emperor and the other Dao Repository Freedom Immortal, Gu An had already seen the outcome.
The Battle Court's desire for the Heavenly Dao Golden Core wasn't going to be easy.
Meanwhile, in the Great Cang Imperial Court, within the imperial palace.
Li Xuandao, clad in dragon robes, sat on the dragon throne, gazing at the fiery sky outside the hall. His brows were tightly knit, and his expression was grim.
He had already reached the Nirvana Realm, but his outward cultivation level was at the Void Crossing Realm, and no one knew his true depth.
"Your Majesty, even the existence beyond the world wants to fight for the Heavenly Mandate. Are you really not tempted?"
Standing in the hall was a gray-robed Daoist, holding a dust-sweeping brush and wearing a smile. He seemed to believe that he had seen through Li Xuandao's heart.
Li Xuandao fixed his gaze on the Daoist and said, "Can you really grant me the Heavenly Mandate?"
The gray-robed Daoist shook his head. "The only key to granting you the Heavenly Mandate in this world is the True Manuscripts of the Heavenly Dao. But that Absolute Luo Sword Lord is too powerful. No one can snatch the Heavenly Mandate from him. However, I can guide you to follow the Heavenly Dao and make the Great Cang Imperial Court a blessed existence under its protection."
Li Xuandao narrowed his eyes and asked, "Oh? How will you assist me, and what do I need to offer in return?"
The gray-robed Daoist smiled and said, "I can help you establish the Heavenly Fortune and regulate the imperial court's destiny. All you need to do is make the people believe in the Heavenly Dao."
"Believe in the Heavenly Dao? How should they believe?"
"Your Majesty only needs to have the people erect statues and monuments in honor of Xuanxiu Immortal Lord."
"Xuanxiu Immortal Lord?"
Li Xuandao raised his eyebrows, his expression turning playful. With great interest, he asked, "Is this Immortal Lord a Heavenly Dao Immortal Deity?"
The gray-robed Daoist laughed and said, "Indeed. By worshipping him, they will receive his blessings and may even gain his power."
Li Xuandao coldly smiled and said, "Is that so? To make me believe in his existence, you want me to gamble the fate of the empire. Don't you think you should offer something more convincing?"
The gray-robed Daoist remained calm and stared at Li Xuandao. "Your Majesty, do you desire an Immortal Dao Treasure?"
At these words, Li Xuandao's expression changed slightly.
The mention of an Immortal Dao Treasure naturally piqued his interest. His son, Li Hua, had once dominated the world with a fake Immortal Dao Treasure, and Li Xuandao had envied him for it.
The gray-robed Daoist raised his right hand, and a sword surrounded by a golden dragon flew out from his palm, quickly growing larger.
"This is the Xuanxiu Imperial Sword, even more powerful than an Immortal Dao Treasure. With this sword, Your Majesty will possess the power to roam the world as you please. But you must believe in Xuanxiu Immortal Lord, for the Imperial Sword will sense your heart."
After speaking, the gray-robed Daoist lifted his right hand, and the Xuanxiu Imperial Sword flew towards Li Xuandao.
Slap! Li Xuandao grasped the Xuanxiu Imperial Sword, and in that instant, his expression changed. He felt an unparalleled power.
This power made him feel like he could accomplish many things.
He looked at the gray-robed Daoist and asked, "There are so many empires in the world. Why did you choose me?"
The grey-robed Daoist smiled and said, "It's very simple. Because of the Dao Support Sword Venerable, he doesn't belong to the Heavenly Dao or the Heavenly Spirit Great World. He will make those around him distance themselves from the Heavenly Dao, so I want to bring the Great Cang Empire back to the Heavenly Dao. Your Majesty, there's no need to worry. The Heavenly Dao won't make you go against the Dao Support Sword Venerable, and the Heavenly Dao doesn't want to oppose him either. As long as the Dao Support Sword Venerable doesn't interfere in the matters of the Heavenly Dao, that's all we need."
Hearing him mention the Dao Support Sword Venerable, Li Xuandao's eyes couldn't help but reveal Gu An's face, and his expression became complex.
After learning that Gu An was the Dao Support Sword Venerable, his emotions couldn't settle for a long time.
He had always thought he was the best at hiding, but Gu An had opened his eyes to a whole new world.
He heard that Gu An had left the Third Medicine Valley for over a hundred years, and he couldn't help but wonder if it had something to do with the Heavenly Dao. Even someone as powerful as the Dao Support Sword Venerable didn't want to oppose the Heavenly Dao?
Li Xuandao fell into deep thought. Instead of becoming more eager for the Heavenly Dao, he became filled with apprehension towards it.
The fact that Gu An could hide his identity for so many years proved that they were of the same kind, and with Gu An's higher cultivation, he could see even more. Gu An's distance from the Heavenly Dao must have had a reason.
The Xuanxiu Imperial Sword in his hand might be a little too hot to handle!
The grey-robed Daoist stood on the altar, quietly observing him, waiting for his decision.
"Your Majesty, don't let me down," the grey-robed Daoist thought expressionlessly. He believed that Li Xuandao wouldn't refuse him.
If he did refuse, then he could only represent the Xuanxiu Immortal Lord in taking action.
...
A year passed, and spring turned into summer.
Gu An stood by the window, gazing upon the continent.
Last year's calamity had ended with the victory of the Yang Xian Emperor, and as a result, he had gained immense fame, becoming the second strongest being to successfully resist a powerful external enemy. His might shook the world.
That calamity had brought a devastating tsunami to the Great Cang Continent, but in the end, Li Xuandao had slashed it away with a single sword, saving the continent's inhabitants.
After that, the Great Cang Continent fell into an eerie calm, and the world didn't undergo any major changes. The Yang Xian Emperor, who had reached the Dao Repository Freedom Immortal, didn't directly march on the Holy Court but chose to seclude himself again.
"Without my intervention, this continent can still maintain peace, which proves that I can indeed let go."
Gu An's face broke into a smile as he spoke softly. Although Li Xuandao had some reservations, the fact was that he had indeed protected the continent.
Gu An believed that Li Xuandao would be the last one laughing.
Let that so-called Xuanxiu Immortal Lord watch; the power of mortals couldn't be underestimated, especially their ambitions.
Seeing the favorable weather, Gu An turned around and walked to the table, reaching out to touch the Spirit Flower on the table.
He deliberately paused his lifespan, preparing to welcome the new ability of a hundred million years of lifespan.
[You successfully obtained the Longevity Spirit Flower (6th Grade) and gained 68 years of lifespan.]
[Your lifespan has surpassed a hundred million years for the first time, unlocking the Lifespan Arena function.]
[Lifespan Arena: You can consume lifespan to establish an arena, which possesses some of the effects of a lifespan barrier, preventing divination and prying eyes. However, the arena cannot gather the spiritual energy of the world outside, and it has a defensive strength comparable to your current realm. The lifespan arena has no range limit, but the range will affect lifespan consumption. Note that the arena cannot be moved, and every ten thousand years, you can choose to re-establish the arena.]
Lifespan Arena?
Gu An's eyes lit up. This was great!
The lifespan barrier had been a tremendous help to him, but he couldn't keep it activated all the time due to the massive lifespan consumption. Fortunately, now he had the Lifespan Arena.
