Chapter 556: Entering Samsara
Chapter 556: Entering Samsara
The Nine Heavens Empress stood atop the Nine Heavens Bluebird, her gaze sweeping across the sea of clouds, causing Gu An's heart to tighten in anticipation of teleporting back.
Teleporting required a hundred billion years of lifespan, and a round trip would cost two hundred billion years. Gu An naturally didn't want to return so easily.
The Nine Heavens Empress didn't seem to notice the lifespan barrier, and the Nine Heavens Bluebird was the same.
After a while, a slightly childish female voice sounded:
"Your Majesty, are you really not going to the Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Immortals?"
Gu An could sense that this voice originated from the Nine Heavens Bluebird, even though the bird hadn't spoken.
The Nine Heavens Empress gazed into the distance, her expression cold. She replied, "It's uninteresting. I've been there several times, and there's not much difference. It's all superficial relationships, and I don't need the opportunities of the Grand Assembly."
"Your Majesty, although the Heaven's Apex Ninth Heaven is naturally blessed, if you could discuss cultivation with other powerful cultivators, it would greatly benefit your cultivation."
"If you want to go, you can represent me."
"If you're not going, what's the point of me going? Never mind, I won't go. By the way, Your Majesty, what do you think caused this anomaly?"
The Nine Heavens Bluebird changed the topic, and as it spoke, it surveyed the boundless sea of clouds.
The Nine Heavens Empress remained expressionless and said, "The Heaven's Apex Ninth Heaven is located above the Grand Thousand Worlds. This place is where the Great Path converges, and the anomaly here may originate from the lower realms. Even I can't easily make a judgment."
Upon hearing this, the Nine Heavens Bluebird fell into deep thought, its eyes shimmering with a strange light.
Above the Grand Thousand Worlds?
Gu An caught this piece of information and became even more curious about the Heaven's Apex Ninth Heaven.
Could it be that the Nine Heavens Empress had no connection to the Heavenly Court? Gu An didn't sense any Heavenly Dao Light Layer from the Nine Heavens Bluebird, and as for the Nine Heavens Empress, since she wasn't her true self, she couldn't sense anything. If he closed his eyes, he might not even be able to perceive her existence.
After another while, the Nine Heavens Empress leaped into the air and flew towards the distance, with the Nine Heavens Bluebird closely following behind. They soon disappeared at the edge of the sea of clouds.
Gu An breathed a sigh of relief and patiently waited.
After the time it took to burn a stick of incense, he no longer sensed the aura of the Nine Heavens Bluebird. He reopened the attribute panel and continued to improve.
Next up was the Eternal Boundless Divine Sword!
Although he had already mastered the Holy Heart Sword Dao, the Holy Heart Sword Dao merged with the River of Sword Dao, becoming an independent existence. He felt that he couldn't rely solely on the Holy Heart Sword Dao and needed stronger sword techniques as a backup.
The Eternal Boundless Divine Sword was promoted to the Three Thousand Slaying Dao Sword, reaching the state of Pure Blue Furnace, consuming eighty billion years of lifespan in the process!
During the half-hour of evolution, neither the Nine Heavens Empress nor the Nine Heavens Bluebird returned, so Gu An continued to evolve by investing his lifespan.
The Primordial Eternal Dao Steps were promoted to the Daoless Heavenly Net Steps, consuming forty-two billion years of lifespan and achieving the state of Profound Understanding.
The Heavenly Obscure Purple Micro Holy Body was promoted to the Primaphysical Golden Body of Primordial Chaos, also reaching the state of Profound Understanding and consuming seventy-six billion years of lifespan.
After promoting the most crucial techniques, Gu An's attention turned to the Great Prison Soul-Searching Art.
This art could search for souls, but as the enemy's cultivation level increased, so did the difficulty of soul-searching. It had to be improved.
This was the Soul-Capturing Art taught to him by Jiang Qiong back then, which had evolved.
Gu An spent one hundred and thirty billion years of lifespan in one go, causing the Great Prison Soul-Searching Art to rise several levels and eventually be promoted to the Catastrophic Blinding Eye.
The Catastrophic Blinding Eye not only could search for souls but also impose calamity upon enemies, and the calamity was formed from the caster's imagination.
Such a domineering divine ability! It had to stop here!
Gu An dared not continue to improve further, as with the consumption of the lifespan barrier, he only had two hundred and thirty billion years of lifespan left, and he still needed one hundred billion years to teleport back.
After a series of evolutions, Gu An felt like he had undergone a metamorphosis. Although his cultivation hadn't increased, his strength had undergone a significant change.
When dealing with the Heavenly Spirit Deity again, it would surely be effortless.
With that in mind, Gu An stood up and gazed at the constantly surging sea of clouds. He decided to take one last look before his next breakthrough, which would surely require a change of location.
The earlier appearance of the Nine Heavens Empress and the Nine Heavens Bluebird was definitely not a coincidence; they must have wanted to investigate his whereabouts. Even though they didn't explicitly state this in their conversation, he still needed to remain vigilant.
Gu An chose to teleport back and disappeared into thin air from his original spot.
...
Upon returning, Gu An no longer saw An Xin and the others in the nearby mountains of the Quantum Sect.
An Xin couldn't find him, so she returned to the Dao Ground to cultivate.
Gu An didn't rush back. He jumped down from the tree, crossed the stream, and sat on a large rock by the riverbank.
He raised his right hand, palm up, and a skull appeared in his palm, the size of a pebble, it was the Heavenly Spirit Deity.
The disheveled Heavenly Spirit Deity opened his eyes, gazing up at Gu An, his expression becoming calm.
After a century of suppression, he had adjusted his mindset and was prepared for any outcome.
Gu An's pupils suddenly turned deep red, and the Heavenly Spirit Deity, who was looking at him, couldn't help but widen his own pupils, then his expression became blank.
Catastrophe Blinding Eye!
He began to search through the Heavenly Spirit Deity's memories.
The morning sun shone down, illuminating Gu An, casting a long shadow.
After a while, Gu An's eyes returned to their normal color, and his brows furrowed.
The Heavenly Spirit Deity's memories were too simple. Having meditated at the Boundary Gate for years, a large part of his memories were blank, likely related to the Heavenly Court.
Nevertheless, Gu An obtained some useful information, including why the Heavenly Spirit Deity plotted against the Celestial Sage.
The flawless version is available at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar for the first release of this novel.
It seemed that many years ago, the Heavenly Spirit Deity could have destroyed the Heavenly Spirit Grand World, but he wanted to obtain the World-Annihilating Dao Essence Pearl from the Celestial Sage.
The World-Annihilating Dao Essence Pearl is an ultimate treasure nurtured by the Great Path, not only useful in combat but also for comprehending the Great Path, with boundless applications.
The Celestial Sage dared not recklessly use this pearl, fearing that its owner would come looking for it.
The owner of the World-Annihilating Dao Essence Pearl is none other than the Purple Emperor Immortal. Through the Celestial Sage's memories, Gu An saw the Purple Emperor Immortal.
This Purple Emperor Immortal looked exactly like the Purple Emperor Emperor that He Xuan Emperor encountered in his lifetime.
Gu An suspected that the Purple Emperor Emperor was the reincarnated body of the Purple Emperor Immortal.
It's common for mighty beings to project themselves across the myriad worlds, manifesting in reincarnation.
The Purple Emperor Emperor's strength is remarkable. At the same cultivation level, he can fight a hundred enemies and force them to retreat. It turns out he is the reincarnated Purple Emperor Immortal, no wonder he is so powerful.
Just as Gu An was marveling at this realization, the Heavenly Spirit Deity regained his senses. He looked at Gu An in fear and asked, "What have you done to me?"
Gu An looked down at him and asked, "Do you want to die, or do you want to live?"
When Gu An inquired if the Heavenly Spirit Deity's annihilation attempt was related to the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Spirit Deity admitted it was his personal desire, which earned him a sliver of respect from Gu An.
The Heavenly Spirit Deity dared to do as he pleased, and it would be a waste to kill him directly.
The Heavenly Spirit Deity's annihilation, from the perspective of the commoners, was a heinous crime, but from the perspective of the universe, he had maintained the cosmic order.
Of course, if the Heavenly Spirit Deity wanted to live, it would depend on his attitude.
Confronted by Gu An's question, the Heavenly Spirit Deity frowned, paused for a moment, and said, "It's impossible for me to submit to you. My current plight is the result of my own greed. If not for my greed for the ultimate treasure, I would have followed the Heavenly Dao earlier, and it wouldn't have ended like this. Kill me."
After speaking, the Heavenly Spirit Deity closed his eyes.
Gu An suddenly asked, "Have you ever been a mortal?"
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Spirit Deity opened his eyes, looking at Gu An in surprise.
In the Heavenly Spirit Deity's memories, he was born as a favored child of heaven, and at a very young age, he was taken in by the Purple Emperor Immortal. From the moment of his birth, he stood above all living beings.
Gu An looked down at him and said, "Killing you like this is too easy on you. Go to the mortal world and experience the suffering of mortals. In the eyes of immortals and deities, mortal spirits are no different from dust. But how can you know the struggles mortals endure to survive?
As his words fell, Gu An flipped his palm and threw the Heavenly Spirit Deity into the stream.
The Heavenly Spirit Deity fell downward, looking at Gu An. In his field of vision, Gu An was a majestic figure. Indeed, he didn't know the suffering of mortals, but at this moment, he felt what it was like for mortals to look up to immortals and deities.
His vision quickly plunged into darkness.
After flipping his hand and releasing him, Gu An used his divine sense to send the Heavenly Spirit Deity into reincarnation.
After comprehending the Great Path Dominion Skill and the Sun Moon Non-Self Divine Dao, Gu An could easily manipulate the reincarnation Great Path, allowing the Heavenly Spirit Deity to reincarnate and be reborn. This was not a difficult task for him.
Gu An had the Heavenly Spirit Deity reincarnate in the Heavenly Spirit Grand World to prevent him from escaping.
The Heavenly Spirit Deity had already been sealed by Gu An using the Return to Origin Divine Dao, his divine soul sealed. Without Gu An's intervention, he would remain in reincarnation forever, unable to break free.
