Chapter 538: The Heavenly Dao Successor
Chapter 538: The Heavenly Dao Successor
After the Buddha Immortal left, Zhang Bu Ku couldn't calm his mind. He continued cultivating in the blood lake, but his thoughts were occupied with a difficult decision.
Three days later, Zhang Bu Ku made up his mind. He could only apologize to his Master Gu An in his heart, unable to repay his kindness.
"Buddha Immortal, come out. I promise, if you release him now, I'll keep my word!" Zhang Bu Ku gritted his teeth, feeling that repaying Master Gu An's kindness seemed like a distant dream, but the opportunity to save the Divine Anomaly Sovereign was right before him.
As his words fell, a gust of wind descended from the sky, and the Buddha Immortal immediately appeared, floating at a lower height than usual, though Zhang Bu Ku didn't notice this detail.
The Buddha Immortal looked at Zhang Bu Ku and smiled, saying, "There's no rush. I've changed my mind. I won't kill him, nor will I force you to inherit the Heavenly Dao Immortal Rank. To be honest, I never had the Heavenly Dao Immortal Rank to begin with. The reason I hid here is that I abandoned the Heavenly Dao Immortal Rank, and the Heavenly Dao doesn't tolerate such actions. I intended to possess your body and live on through your identity."
Hearing this, Zhang Bu Ku's face turned angry. Anyone would be furious after being toyed with, especially after enduring three days of the Heaven-Human Battle and making such a difficult decision. His heart felt like it was being torn apart, and now...
Seeing Zhang Bu Ku's rage, the Buddha Immortal quickly explained, "Regardless, he can still be saved. I've also changed my mind and plan to genuinely nurture you. For you, this outcome is better than what you had imagined."
Zhang Bu Ku stared coldly at the Buddha Immortal, clearly distrustful.
The Buddha Immortal sighed inwardly but continued explaining, thinking of that terrifying existence, "After my calculations, possessing your body might not yield a good outcome either. But your fate is extraordinary, so I've decided to teach you with all my strength. If you attain the Dao in the future and possess power beyond my reach, I hope you'll come back to save me."
Hearing these words, Zhang Bu Ku furrowed his brows, half-believing and half-doubting, filled with hesitation.
The Buddha Immortal sighed, "From my perspective, a million years is like a day. I can continue waiting, at least it's safer. If the Heavenly Court discovers me, I'll never be able to escape."
Zhang Bu Ku immediately turned and opened his mouth, spitting out a ray of blood light that landed on the Divine Anomaly Sovereign, quickly restoring his vitality and replenishing his flesh.
Witnessing this, Zhang Bu Ku's heart believed it to be mostly true.
However, another doubt arose in his mind.
Did the Buddha Immortal truly change his mind on his own?
Why does this situation seem so suspicious?
...
In the Primordial Dao Ground, inside a room.
Outside the window, night still prevailed.
Shen Zhen continued reading, while Gu An's spiritual awareness returned, unnoticed by her.
To warn the Buddha Immortal, Gu An didn't send his main body but used the power of Cause and Effect to manifest a clone.
With Zhang Bu Ku and the Divine Anomaly Sovereign present, Gu An could quickly locate them, unaffected by the restrictions of the Heavenly Spirit Grand World's rules.
For Zhang Bu Ku, the distance to the Heavenly Spirit Grand World seemed immeasurably far, so much so that he wondered if he would ever return in this lifetime.
But in Gu An's eyes, Zhang Bu Ku wasn't that far away. Although he was in another Grand Thousand World, reaching him wasn't a difficult task.
Crossing the Grand Thousand Worlds was challenging, especially passing through the Boundary Gate, guarded by the Heavenly Spirit Deity.
Gu An was different; he could travel to various Grand Thousand Worlds through the Great Dao River.
The Great Dao River existed independently outside the universe, a baffling entity. Dao Contemplators could use it to travel to different places, but most would only find confusion within, unable to find an exit.
Only when desperate would a Dao Contemplator flee into the Great Dao River.
Contemplating different Great Daos leads to different Great Dao Rivers. For example, a Fate Dao Contemplator can enter the Fate Great Dao River, and a Sword Dao Contemplator can enter the Sword Dao River.
To glimpse the Great Dao River is incredibly difficult; many Profound Origin Freedom Immortals fail to achieve it, purely depending on their understanding of the Dao.
Gu An closed the book and said, "The sky will soon brighten; you can return now."
Shen Zhen glanced at him and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry tonight? Last time we talked about the Green Hero Travels, and it went on for an entire day and night."
"I just experienced a battle, and I'm a bit tired."
"What battle?"
"My will clashed with an existence far beyond the Ninth Heaven of the Immortal Dao."
Gu An sighed dramatically, causing Shen Zhen to roll her eyes.
The entire evening passed, and she hadn't seen Gu An get up once. Moreover, his words sounded hollow, so she naturally didn't believe him.
"Fine, since you're urging me, I hope you're not too engrossed in your book."
Shen Zhen stood up, placed the book in her hand on the table, and turned to leave.
As she reached the door, she turned back to look at Gu An and asked, "Do I need to draw this book tonight?"
Gu An glanced at her and said sternly, "How many times do I have to tell you? There are a thousand paths to enlightenment, but some paths should be avoided."
"Then I won't draw it."
"Wait, go ahead and draw it. I'll correct your thoughts."
Gu An replied, causing Shen Zhen to cover her mouth and smile. Instead of arguing with him, she walked out of the house.
After Shen Zhen closed the door, Gu An took out his pen and paper and started writing.
Under the tranquil starry sky of the universe, the Heavenly Dao Golden Core stood at the end of the long bridge, and An Hao sat in meditation before it, looking lonely.
He faced the Heavenly Dao Golden Core, his eyebrows furrowed in concentration.
A figure emerged from within the Heavenly Dao Golden Core, strolling towards him. It walked all the way to the edge of the core and then stopped, gazing at An Hao.
"You still won't let go?"
A voice echoed from within the Heavenly Dao Golden Core, sounding like the Yang Immortal Emperor.
An Hao kept his eyes closed and said, "It's not that I won't let go; it's that I have no choice. You tell me to escape, but where can I go?"
"The Great Dao River is an escape route."
"I'm still far from the Great Dao River, and there are people here I can't bear to leave behind."
"Ridiculous! The heavens are destined to be destroyed, and the Celestial Spirit Grand World should have perished long ago. The reason these fragments remain is that the Celestial Spirit Deity is waiting for the Grand World Sovereign to return. If you don't escape, you will inevitably be annihilated along with the fragments of the Grand World. You possess a fate that shouldn't exist in the Grand Thousand Worlds, and it would be a waste to die here."
The voice from the Heavenly Dao Golden Core sounded urgent.
An Hao didn't respond.
"Even the teacher you most respect has fled. Don't you understand? There's no point in staying!"
The mysterious voice spoke with a tone of frustration, causing An Hao to open his eyes.
An Hao's voice deepened as he said, "My teacher would never flee. Even if he left, it would be for other reasons!"
In his heart, his teacher was a fearless and transcendent existence, one who could not be slandered, not even by the Heavenly Dao.
He now understood that the Heavenly Dao Golden Core belonged to the Heavenly Dao but had already abandoned it. The true goal of the Celestial Spirit Deity was the owner of the Heavenly Dao Golden Core.
Thinking of the impending annihilation of all the Grand Worlds in the universe, his heart ignited with fighting spirit.
He wasn't afraid, nor was he anxious or even angry.
Instead, he was filled with anticipation.
H
He also wanted such a moment, even if it meant death; he felt it would be worthwhile.
"Fine, if that's the case, I'll give you a chance."
Other figures began to appear within the Heavenly Dao Golden Core, emerging from the depths and increasing in number.
An Hao's brows furrowed as he witnessed this scene, but he didn't stand up; instead, he waited.
"They are the previous successors of the Heavenly Dao, and although they have all passed away, their power can be bestowed upon you. You will be our last hope."
As he listened to these words, An Hao's pupils gradually turned golden, just like the Heavenly Dao Golden Core, exuding the aura of the Heavenly Dao.
