Chapter 505: Unyielding Determination
Chapter 505: Unyielding Determination
In the forest, Yi Qingshan, Lin Chuan, Cheng Meng, Gu Changsheng, and Gu Chengdao advanced while chatting, gazing at the woods with a sense of familiarity and strangeness.
They reminisced about the events of a thousand years ago, filled with emotion.
Suddenly, Cheng Meng spoke up, "Do you think there's a chance our master is still alive?"
With these words, the other four fell silent.
Naturally, they hoped that Gu An was still alive, but when they left, Master was still at the Foundation Establishment Realm. Considering the cultivation speed as described by Master, living for a thousand years would be extremely difficult.
Of course, unless Master had deceived them, as they had never truly understood Master's cultivation level.
"Our purpose in returning here is to find him, isn't it?"
Gu Chengdao, the youngest among them, spoke up. Despite his age, he was the most composed of the five, always feeling that Master was not an ordinary mortal.
After a thousand years of roaming the world, they had encountered countless celestial prodigies, but when he recalled Master's figure, he felt that Master was no less impressive than any of them.
Yi Qingshan said, "Since we're already back, establishing a sect can wait. Let's search for Master first."
His words gained the agreement of the other four. Even if Master had passed away, spending several years searching for him would still be worthwhile.
Gradually, their conversation turned to their nemesis.
Mentioning their nemesis made them feel agitated. Their disciples and friends had been slaughtered by the nemesis, and they themselves had narrowly escaped death.
Despite their intense hatred, they had no means of revenge because their nemesis had reached the Immortal Dao Realm, and they had the backing of a powerful sect.
As they chatted, they arrived at a small stream, and upon seeing it, they were all stunned.
Lin Chuan couldn't help but ask, "Could this be the same stream from a thousand years ago? How is it still here?"
Yi Qingshan also felt a bit dazed and added, "A thousand years is not enough to cause drastic changes in the world, especially in this area without sect battles or demonic disturbances, so there shouldn't be significant transformations."
They looked around, recalling the past, moment by moment.
After a while, footsteps echoed from deep within the woods across the stream, capturing the attention of Yi Qingshan and the others.
They didn't sense any human or demonic aura, but the footsteps startled them.
They focused their gaze, and a woman in a green robe carrying a bamboo basket emerged from the woods. Her face was beautiful, and her aura was sacred, resembling a heavenly maiden descending to the mortal realm. Yi Qingshan and the others were left in awe.
It was none other than An Xin.
After a thousand years, An Xin had entered the Nirvana Realm, exuding a transcendent aura. Meanwhile, Yi Qingshan and the others were still stuck in the Great Vehicle Realm, desperately seeking the opportunity for Nirvana.
An Xin approached the stream and smiled at them, causing them to snap out of their daze and bow respectfully.
Yi Qingshan spoke first, "Senior, I am Yi Qingshan. A thousand years ago, I cultivated here for several years. I've returned to search for my esteemed master. I hope we haven't offended you, Senior."
After all, a thousand years had passed, and if this place had a new owner, they would have to turn back.
He couldn't see through An Xin's cultivation level, so he was certain that she was at the Immortal Dao Realm. Even if she was at the lowest Nirvana Realm, she was far beyond their ability to provoke.
An Xin smiled and said, "I've been cultivating here for a thousand years as well. Was your master named Gu An?"
Upon hearing this, the five of them were overjoyed and eagerly confirmed, asking about Gu An's relationship with her.
An Xin replied, "I did meet him. He's currently in secluded cultivation. I've established a Dao site in this area, and I have a connection with him. If you need any help in the future, you can come to me."
Hearing that Master was in secluded cultivation, the five of them were delighted. They expressed their gratitude for An Xin's kindness.
Yi Qingshan wanted to inquire further about Gu An's situation, but An Xin shook her head, saying no more, leaving him with no choice but to give up.
"Senior, we plan to establish a sect nearby to help mortals cultivate immortality. Would this disturb you?" Cheng Meng asked cautiously.
An Xin raised her hand and pointed to the stream before them, saying, "As long as your sect doesn't cross this stream, it won't be considered a disturbance."
Gu An had already informed her that Yi Qingshan was the reincarnation of Lu Jiujia, so she was also curious about the kind of sect Yi Qingshan would establish.
Hearing An Xin's response, the five of them were completely relieved.
An Xin turned and walked back the way she came, leaving behind these words, "The Great Way is long, so don't be blinded by hatred. Your own cultivation is the most important."
These words caused the five to be shocked and pale. Only after An Xin disappeared from their sight did they finally snap back to their senses.
Gu Changsheng cautiously asked, "Did she hear our words, or did she foresee this?"
It was said that the mighty Immortals could know one's past and future with a single glance.
Yi Qingshan took a deep breath and said, "She probably deduced it. Perhaps Master came here initially to search for her."
The other four also found this reasonable and held even more reverence for Anxin.
They didn't linger and turned to leave.
Now that they had confirmed their master was still alive, they could proceed with their plan.
Meanwhile, Anxin walked deep into the forest. When she caught sight of Gu An's figure, a smile appeared on her face, and she quickened her pace, no longer resembling the Heavenly Maiden but instead a lively and cheerful girl.
"Master, how was my performance?" Anxin asked proudly as she approached Gu An.
Gu An stood before a grove, with a butterfly resting on his right hand. He stared at the butterfly and said softly, "Not bad, you've got about a third of my charm."
Anxin became even more proud and curiously asked, "Master, aren't you afraid they'll establish another Taixuan Sect?"
Gu An replied, "As long as we're still in the Heavenly Spirit Great World and interacting with people, such things are inevitable. Let them be, at least we have no responsibility to protect the sect they establish. The prosperity they create can still provide you with entertainment when you're bored, and experiencing karmic encounters in the mortal world is also a form of cultivation."
As he raised his right hand, the butterfly flew away.
Then, he led Anxin towards the Primordial Dao Ground.
"That's true. After being in seclusion for so long, it's easy to get bored. But I've promised Heavenly Demoness that we'll spar again in a hundred years, and I don't want to lose to her again." Anxin said as she followed Gu An.
She got along well with the Heavenly Demoness, and their competition was healthy. They could motivate each other, and regardless of who won or lost, they wouldn't become complacent.
"She said the same to me," Gu An smiled.
There weren't many people in the Primordial Dao Ground, but none of them were quiet types. He was quite content with his current living environment.
When bored, he could visit the Immortal Island or the Human Peak, or explore other places. There were always options, and he wasn't isolated from the world after leaving the Taixuan Sect.
The master and disciple chatted casually as they walked back to the sect.
Meanwhile, in the depths of the universe, a majestic Boundary Gate towered in the void, seemingly at the center of the cosmos, emitting an endless ancient aura.
A ripple emerged from within the gate, and a figure stepped out.
This was a man clad in black, surrounded by crimson flames. His headgear resembled a strange beast, and his waist was adorned with dragon scales. He exuded a powerful aura.
After exiting the gate, he looked towards a figure beside it and turned to salute, saying, "Senior, it's been many years. Are you well?"
The figure he faced was none other than the Heavenly Spirit Deity.
The Heavenly Spirit Deity's body shone with intense light, revealing only their silhouette and not their true appearance.
"It seems the Battle Court is determined to see this through," the Heavenly Spirit Deity spoke with a cold tone.
The black-clad man smiled and said, "There's no other way. Our karma with the Dragon Clan runs too deep to be resolved."
The Heavenly Spirit Deity didn't respond, and the void fell silent.
After a moment of hesitation, the black-clad man asked, "Senior, if the Heavenly Court reappears in the mortal world, will you return?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his face changed, and his body trembled.
The Heavenly Spirit Deity didn't get up, but a terrifying killing intent locked onto the black-clad man, making him tremble with fear.
"Do not test the will of the gods, or the Battle Court won't be able to protect you," the Heavenly Spirit Deity's voice echoed.
The black-clad man felt the world spinning, his body as if falling into an endless abyss, his vision blurring, and his soul shaken.
After a while, the black-clad man opened his eyes. He found himself on a falling star, and as he stood up and looked around, he couldn't see a trace of the Boundary Gate. He was secretly shocked.
"What a terrifying Heavenly Dao power... Is this the force that suppresses a Great Thousand World?"
