Chapter 510: Sword Extinction Master, Imperial Myth
Chapter 510: Sword Extinction Master, Imperial Myth
"However, if you wish to inherit my Dao lineage and bear my cause and effect, it means you will gain incomparable power, but you will never find peace in your lifetime."
The old man stared at Li Ya, speaking slowly and deliberately, his gaze as cold as ice.
Li Ya was startled by his gaze and didn't respond immediately. Instead, he carefully recalled his entire life.
Despite the hardships he had endured, he always felt that he had reached this point today due to the help of others. In the first half of his life, his father had protected and guided him, and later, Gu An, in another identity, had guarded and taught him sword techniques.
When would he be able to repay these people?
Li Ya was torn between two difficult choices.
He feared that he might mess up and, in the end, still need Gu An to save him.
Unconsciously, he turned his head to look at the Divine Anomaly Spirit on his shoulder.
This time, the Divine Anomaly Spirit didn't speak but stared at him intently, as if saying that this time, the decision was his to make.
Li Ya believed that the old man wouldn't deliberately scheme against him because there was no need. The difference in their cultivation levels was vast, and if the old man truly wanted to force him to do something, he wouldn't have the strength to resist.
Just as Li Ya was hesitating, the old man turned and left.
Li Ya immediately knelt down and bowed towards the old man's departing figure, shouting, "Master, please accept your disciple's bow!"
The old man stopped and slowly turned around. He looked at Li Ya, his expressionless face saying, "Remember, my Dao title is Sword Extinction. Many call me the Sword Extinction Master."
After saying this, the Sword Extinction Master continued to leave, and Li Ya quickly stood up and followed his footsteps.
Li Ya's face couldn't hide his excitement as he watched the Sword Extinction Master's departing figure. He had many questions, but he held them back.
There would be plenty of time later!
After witnessing the Sword Extinction Master's display of power, Li Ya felt that the Sword Extinction Master was a rare existence in this world who could rival Gu An. Of course, this was just his personal feeling, as he believed that the Sword Extinction Master hadn't used his full strength when seizing the sword, effortlessly taking the Nine Extremes Sacred Heart Sword.
Unbeknownst to him, Gu An was eavesdropping on his thoughts.
"Comparing the Dao Repository Freedom Immortal to me?"
Gu An, who was picking medicinal herbs in the Primordial Dao Ground, couldn't help but laugh. This Sword Extinction Master seemed to have a formidable background.
He should have an even stronger true body.
Gu An had encountered his true body before, during Gu An's breakthrough to the Profound Origin Freedom Immortal Realm. At that time, Gu An had transformed into a skull that devoured the Freedom Immortal, leaving a deep impression on him.
The aura of that skull was identical to the Sword Extinction Master, and from the perspective of cause and effect, they shared the same origin.
If even the clone possessed the cultivation of a Dao Repository Freedom Immortal, one could only imagine how powerful the Sword Extinction Master's true body was.
Ever since Gu An had defeated the Battle Court, the Heavenly Spirit Grand World seemed to have distanced itself from the heavenly tribulations. In reality, there were more and more Dao Fruit Realm beings infiltrating the Heavenly Spirit Grand World, but they operated more covertly, presumably fearing Gu An.
Every choice had its pros and cons. His Lifespan Cycle had also left behind unfavorable cause and effect, but in the life he could control, he had always done good deeds, and he was content and never tired of it.
Gu An's mood became even more cheerful, and he began to instruct the Blooming Ghost Mother who was following beside him.
Although the Blooming Ghost Mother had lost her freedom, she didn't slack off. Instead, she saw greater hope and felt that her current life was more meaningful and fulfilling than before.
Pursuing immortality was far more significant than being a vice-sect leader!
The Blooming Ghost Mother took note of every word Gu An said and carefully pondered them.
Gu An knew what she was thinking but never revealed it, allowing her to have her wild thoughts. Who knows, maybe she would come up with something brilliant?
After an hour, Gu An finished his harvesting and asked Blooming Ghost Mother to plant the seeds. He then headed towards his own pavilion, preparing to take a nap.
Even Primordial Golden Immortals can sleep, and Gu An occasionally enjoyed dreaming, finding it an intriguing way to gain enlightenment in his dreams.
The white clouds in the sky drifted slowly, but in a blink of an eye, they seemed to move swiftly.
Time in the mortal realm flowed in a similar manner.
A thousand years passed like those white clouds, both fast and slow. For cultivators, it was swift, but for ordinary people, it seemed to drag on.
On a summer day, at noon, in the Great Cang Empire, within the imperial city of Cangzhou, Emperor Li Xuandao sat in his study, holding a memorial with an expressionless face.
H
At this moment, two people knelt inside the room, their bodies tense and heads bowed. Sweat even dripped from the forehead of one of them.
After a while, Li Xuandao lifted his eyes and looked at the two kneeling before the desk. "What about the Crown Prince? What is his attitude towards the Yang Family's actions?"
One of the elderly ministers raised his head to look at Li Xuandao, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Your Highness has not responded to us, but one of my informants told me that His Highness once said that the position of Crown Prince is truly uninteresting, and he doesn't know..."
"He doesn't know what?" Li Xuandao asked.
"He doesn't know what it's like to be emperor..." The minister quickly lowered his head, his forehead touching the ground.
Li Xuandao's eyes flashed with cold light as he listened. He closed the memorial in his hand and slowly placed it down.
"You may leave."
With that, Li Xuandao closed his eyes, and the two court officials immediately stood up, bowed, and quickly left.
They made their way out of the imperial garden, then out of the palace. Only when they reached the palace gates did they finally breathe a sigh of relief.
One of the middle-aged ministers looked at the elderly minister and asked in a low voice, "Is His Highness really going to..."
He glanced around, not daring to utter the word "rebellion."
"There were signs hundreds of years ago," the elderly minister said. "It's said that after His Highness returned from his cultivation in the sacred land, his temperament changed. He has already stepped into the immortal realm, and I fear the empire will face unprecedented turmoil. The Yang Family has gained the support of many influential figures..." He sighed.
His ancestors, for ten generations, had served Li Xuandao loyally. In his youth, he was even the top scholar appointed by Li Xuandao himself. In his heart, Li Xuandao was like heaven.
But facing the Crown Prince, who possessed immortal cultivation and came from a powerful family background, the elderly minister couldn't help but think that the throne would change hands.
The middle-aged minister fell silent, and the two of them walked quickly down the same street.
A
His voice echoed in the silent room, and no one outside responded.
Li Xuandao took a deep breath, stood up, walked around the desk, and lifted his robes, kneeling directly on the ground.
"Gu An, if there is still friendship between us, please help me..." Li Xuandao said with determination.
As he finished speaking, he began to kowtow.
However, just as his forehead was about to touch the ground, a hand reached out and gently caught his head, preventing it from making contact.
Li Xuandao's pupils constricted, and his body trembled slightly. He cautiously raised his head and saw that the person standing before him was none other than Gu An!
