Chapter 518: Five Thousand Years Old, The Transformation of Cause and Effect
Chapter 518: Five Thousand Years Old, The Transformation of Cause and Effect
Gu An's current life cycle was but a minor episode in his long existence. After warning Shen Zhen not to disclose this information, he returned to his usual daily routine.
He spent his days gathering flowers and herbs, guiding his disciples, reading, and writing.
Meanwhile, the others in the Primordial Dao Ground were busy with their cultivation, and time seemed to pass swiftly in the presence of the Primordial Dao Ground.
Before he knew it, Gu An had reached his five thousandth birthday.
Only he knew of this, as everyone around him believed him to be an ancient monster who had lived for an unknown number of years.
In the summer of that year, Gu An sat on a rock by a stream, examining his status panel.
[Name: Gu An]
[Life: 61,551,478,029/61,551,478,029]
[Constitution: Primordial Chaotic Body]
[Cultivation: Complete Primordial Golden Immortal Realm]
...
With a lifespan of over six hundred and fifteen billion years, things were progressing well, and his longevity was steadily increasing.
Gu An thought to himself with a smile on his face.
Beside him was the stream where he had first met Yi Qingshan and the others. Now, it was within the territory of the Heaven and Earth Sect.
He waited there for someone.
As he waited, Gu An looked into the distance, observing the current circumstances of his old acquaintances.
Wu Jue had become a high-ranking member of the Taixuan Sect, but his power was gradually corrupting his talent.
Xuantian Yi continued to travel the world, and after the Taixuan Sect became stronger, he completely put aside his responsibilities and lived a carefree life.
Jiang Qiong had become a Supreme Elder and was currently in seclusion for cultivation.
With Yang Jian's support, Li Xuandao began to expand the Taicang Empire's territories.
The world was still dominated by the conflict between the Immortal Dynasty and the Sacred Court, and while the number of people on both sides was decreasing, their overall fortune was rising as they produced more powerful individuals and Celestial Prodigies.
Without the intervention of the Freedom Immortals, the overall situation was relatively peaceful.
Gu An's gaze fell upon Li Ya, who was cultivating under the guidance of Sword Extinction Master. His cultivation was progressing rapidly, especially his sword intent, which was growing fiercely.
With the guidance of a Sword Dao expert who had surpassed the Nine Heavens of Immortal Dao, Li Ya's opportunities were among the best in the world. Among his peers, only An Hao could surpass him.
In a world as vast as this, with Celestial Prodigies as numerous as fish in a river, for the Taixuan Sect to produce two exceptional geniuses, Gu An felt a great sense of accomplishment.
With this sense of accomplishment, Gu An began to predict Li Ya's future.
As he calculated, Gu An's expression became peculiar.
To think that such a situation would arise...
Gu An thought of the Heavenly Dao Golden Core and Sword Extinction Master, and he felt that such a future was reasonable. After all, everything had its advantages and disadvantages, and as Li Ya became stronger, he would also have to bear the consequences of his power.
After some time, a figure emerged from the depths of the forest. Seeing Gu An from a distance, the person became excited and immediately rushed over.
It was Lu Xian!
The former top genius of the Taicang Empire and the son of Lu Baitian, the Sect Leader of the Taixuan Sect.
He stood beside Gu An, looking at him with great excitement, even feeling a bit overwhelmed.
"Gu An... I..." Lu Xian was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
Gu An looked at him up and down and smiled, "There's no need to be nervous. Since you've managed to cross the universe and come here, I will naturally keep my promise."
Hundreds of years ago, Gu An had heard Lu Xian calling out to him. It turned out that Lu Xian had challenged Yang Jian and suffered a crushing defeat, which greatly affected him. So, he thought of seeking out Gu An, as Yang Jian was Gu An's disciple.
He knelt in his own grotto, begging Gu An to teach him.
After all, they had a relationship spanning over four thousand years, and even for the sake of Lu Baitian, Gu An couldn't bear to refuse him. So, Gu An allowed him to come and also forbade him from revealing this matter.
And so, Lu Xian crossed the continent and traversed the ocean. Even with his Nirvana Realm cultivation, it still took him hundreds of years to reach the Nine Spirit Continent. Along the way, he encountered numerous hardships and experienced the ups and downs of life.
"Can I follow you in your cultivation now?" Lu Xian asked earnestly, his eyes gleaming.
Gu An smiled and gestured to the nearby stream, saying, "Think it through. Once you cross this stream, there's no turning back. Before the end of the heavenly tribulation, you cannot leave my Dao Site. It's an incredibly long period, long enough for those you care about to turn to dust."
Lu Xian's eyebrows furrowed as he listened. Many faces flashed through his mind, but after a brief hesitation, he took a step forward and crossed to the other side of the stream.
He turned to look back, gazing at the forest behind Gu An, and felt a weight lift from his shoulders.
Gu An stood up and crossed the stream, brushing past Lu Xian as he headed towards the Primordial Dao Ground.
Lu Xian hurried to catch up, but after just a few steps, he couldn't resist glancing back.
In a daze, he saw a graceful figure standing across the stream, her face lit with a bright smile directed at him, causing his pupils to tremble.
Lu Xian took a deep breath and resolutely turned away, quickening his pace to keep up with Gu An.
Gu An pretended not to notice his struggle and began to introduce the surrounding forest.
Lu Xian listened intently, but he couldn't help but think of that woman. Was she truly gone forever? However, he couldn't bear the thought of mediocrity even more.
He was born to become an immortal!
Gu An walked slowly, his voice gradually soothing the turmoil in Lu Xian's heart.
When they returned to the Primordial Dao Ground, a figure appeared before them out of thin air—none other than the Blood Hell Supreme Sage.
In his human form, the Blood Hell Supreme Sage sized up Lu Xian and said with a fierce grin, "I didn't expect you to be here. Let's have a spar."
He had long wanted to fight Lu Xian!
Lu Xian remembered the Blood Hell Supreme Sage, and without hesitation, he accepted the challenge. With this, he completely set aside the worries in his heart.
Gu An waved his hand to create a boundary, allowing the two to enter and battle freely.
As they entered the boundary and unleashed their auras, they also startled others within the Dao Site, mainly because they hadn't felt Lu Xian's aura before, which led to unnecessary speculation.
Several figures appeared beside Gu An, inquiring about Lu Xian's identity. Gu An briefly introduced him, and upon learning that Lu Xian was personally brought in by Gu An, the others dismissed their concerns and began to anticipate Lu Xian's performance.
Chen Chuan sensed Lu Xian's aura and was secretly astonished. Despite both being in the Nirvana Realm, he felt he might not be a match for Lu Xian.
Tian Yao'er, Tian Qing, Tian Bai, and Blooming Ghost Mother were also surprised.
Jiang Shi and An Shengtian observed the battle intently, hoping to learn from it.
Shen Zhen approached Gu An and muttered, "His cause and effect and destiny are rapidly changing."
Gu An glanced at her but didn't respond.
Indeed, things were changing! This was because Gu An was erasing the cause and effect from Lu Xian's body to prevent powerful beings from deducing the location of the Primordial Dao Ground through him.
Better safe than sorry, even though Gu An was already a Primordial Golden Immortal, he remained cautious in his actions.
Gu An looked at Lu Xian, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
At the same time, far away on the other side of the world, Li Ya arrived before the Nine Extremes Sacred Heart Sword.
It was a forest with a wide-open view, and not far away, Sword Extinction Master stood, watching Li Ya.
In front of Li Ya was the Nine Extremes Sacred Heart Sword, its blade embedded in the earth, marked with crimson flame patterns about four fingers wide. The hilt was a dark purple, as if wrapped in the scales of some exotic beast, and on the guard was carved a lifelike, eerie eye.
As Li Ya gazed at the Nine Extremes Sacred Heart Sword, he struggled to control his emotions, and Divine Anomaly Spirit emerged from within him, perching on his shoulder to examine the sword.
