Chapter 570: The Battle Court's Arrival, Unconquerable
Chapter 570: The Battle Court's Arrival, Unconquerable
As Gu An immersed himself in the memories of reincarnation, the essence of the Primordial Dao Ground began to flow towards him, startling the disciples within.
Shen Zhen was the first to be awakened, and she turned her head towards Gu An, who was meditating with his eyes closed. Her eyes were filled with curiosity.
An Xian arrived first, followed by Lu Xian, Chen Chuan, Tian Xiao'er, and the others, who came one after another. In less than five breaths, everyone had gathered in the courtyard.
When they realized that the unusual phenomenon of the essence was emanating from Gu An, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"What is Master doing?"
"It seems like he's enlightening."
"Master's cultivation is truly remarkable. He can still have sudden realizations, and his innate talent might be even greater than we imagined."
"Of course, Master is undoubtedly a genius. How else could he have reached his current level?"
"Stop guessing, and quickly take a seat. Savor the Master's path."
The group discussed in hushed voices, careful not to disturb Gu An.
After the reminder from the Xueyu Great Sage, everyone sat down and began to carefully sense and understand.
The Primordial Dao Ground fell into silence, with the surrounding mountains and forests exuding tranquility. Everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful.
An hour later, Gu An opened his eyes and saw that everyone was meditating in the courtyard. His expression remained unchanged, and he turned his gaze towards Shen Zhen.
"Such a heavy obsession..."
Gu An sighed inwardly, having already understood the relationship between Shen Zhen and Yaoxuan Immortal Maiden.
In reality, the two had no direct connection. It was the Eternal Emperor who transferred a portion of Yaoxuan Immortal Maiden's cause and effect onto Shen Zhen, hoping that the main body, Gu An, would help him find and rescue Yaoxuan Immortal Maiden.
Yaoxuan Immortal Maiden was a Great Dao Emperor with unparalleled innate talent. Even a fraction of her cause and effect could alter Shen Zhen's destiny.
Shen Zhen was not chosen by the Eternal Emperor from the start but only after meeting Gu An. It was the Eternal Emperor's action after merging with the Grand Cause and Effect Stele, as he couldn't predict the location of the main body and could only rely on the stele's power.
His choice of self-destruction was to better utilize the stele's power. In the final moments before his will dissipated, he locked onto the future Heavenly Spirit Grand World. The reason for choosing Shen Zhen was that among those Gu An cared about, only Shen Zhen had him in her heart.
The Eternal Emperor believed that only such a relationship would motivate Gu An to rescue Yaoxuan Immortal Maiden.
Furthermore, the Eternal Emperor left an imprint within the Grand Cause and Effect Stele, considering it a repayment to the main body.
Through this incident, Gu An realized that Shen Zhen's feelings for him were indeed unique. Although she didn't express it verbally, she had abandoned everything and followed him unwaveringly.
When Shen Zhen chose him, she was unaware of his true cultivation level. It was because they shared the same aspirations.
Gu An looked at Shen Zhen, and his heart also relaxed.
Shen Zhen was not a replacement for anyone; she remained herself, and that was good.
As for the Eternal Emperor's cause and effect, Gu An would bear it, for they were essentially the same person. One day, he would help the Eternal Emperor find Yaoxuan Immortal Maiden.
Gu An's mind stirred, and his eyes transformed, turning purple with a hint of raging flames within.
Immortal Emperor Eyes! After inheriting the Eternal Emperor's memories, Gu An instantly mastered the Immortal Emperor Eyes.
It's worth mentioning that his Immortal Emperor Eyes had no connection to the Celestial Thievery Emperor, a tactic of the Eternal Emperor.
The Eternal Emperor had merged the Celestial Thievery Emperor's Immortal Emperor Eyes within the Grand Cause and Effect Stele, and Gu An's ability to condense the Immortal Emperor Eyes was due to their nature as a variant of divine abilities, affecting bloodline and soul.
The Immortal Emperor Eyes were a type of Great Dao's creation, extremely difficult to cultivate. Different individuals could cultivate unique variations of the Immortal Emperor Eyes.
At this moment, Gu An's mana was condensing towards the Immortal Emperor Eyes, which would give birth to a unique ability exclusive to him.
Gu An dispersed his Dao intent, allowing everyone to immerse themselves in enlightenment and preventing them from witnessing the Immortal Emperor Eyes.
...
Night fell, and the stars twinkled in the sparse sky. Within the Third Medicine Valley, the lights in the tower shone brightly.
In the tower that once belonged to Gu An, Long Qing and Ye Cang sat facing each other. They had been talking for several days, with Ye Cang doing most of the talking and Long Qing listening.
After recounting his experiences over nine thousand years, Ye Cang took a deep breath and said, "Master, I truly recognize my mistakes. I willingly accept punishment, and I beg you to handle me according to the sect rules."
He had avenged his sister by killing Cui Xianlin, settling his grudge. Now, he was ready to take responsibility for his wrongdoings.
Although he hadn't caused bloodshed when he intruded into the Taixuan Sect, he had injured many and caused immeasurable losses to the sect.
Long Qing looked at Ye Cang and asked, "If I ask you to bear the responsibility of the Taixuan Sect, would you be willing?"
"What responsibility?" Ye Cang asked, confused.
Long Qing replied, "The responsibility of the Sect Leader."
Upon hearing this, Ye Cang stood up in shock. "How can I possibly become the Sect Leader?"
As he spoke, the image of Gu An once again flashed through his mind. He wasn't sure what he was thinking, but he found the whole situation absurd.
Long Qing's gaze remained calm as he said, "Now that you've shared your past, it's time for me to tell you about mine."
Ye Cang's eyebrows furrowed, and he could only suppress the confusion in his heart before sitting down.
Long Qing began to narrate the history of the Long Clan and the feud between the Long Clan and the Battle Court.
Upon hearing that his master was from beyond the heavens, Ye Cang was astonished, but he didn't interrupt with questions. Instead, he listened attentively.
As time passed, Ye Cang's expression kept changing, and by the end of the story, his mood became somber.
Chapter 6, Section 9
He never imagined that his master carried such a heavy burden. Compared to him, his own hardships were insignificant.
Heaven Pillar Ancestor flew out of Ye Cang's body, his expression complex as he looked at Long Qing.
Seeing the Heaven Pillar Ancestor appear, Long Qing paid it no mind and continued to speak of the cause and effect he bore.
After a long while, Long Qing finished his story and looked at Ye Cang. "I'm destined to die, but I don't want my descendants to walk the same old path. I want them to stay away from the Taixuan Sect and the cause and effect of the Long Clan. My thoughts differ from the Grand Elder, so I want to support you in becoming the next Sect Leader."
"Your talent is powerful enough to make you the strongest in the Taixuan Sect's future."
"However, Cang'er, your temperament still needs tempering. You can showcase your brilliance, but always leave room for maneuver. Don't go too far."
His tone remained calm, revealing no emotions.
Ye Cang couldn't help but speak, "Master, why must you bear such a heavy cause and effect? Hasn't the Battle Court not arrived yet? Perhaps they've already been annihilated, or maybe they can't find the Heavenly Spirit Grand World."
"Impossible," the Heaven Pillar Ancestor said with a hint of trepidation. "The Battle Court's power is beyond your imagination. I've also heard of the Long Clan's affairs, and I never imagined that their bloodline still exists. The Battle Court will certainly not let the Long Clan off the hook."
Ye Cang turned to the Heaven Pillar Ancestor, frowning as he asked, "Is the Battle Court truly invincible?"
The Heaven Pillar Ancestor sighed, "Indeed, they are invincible."
Ye Cang protested, "What if my master ancestor intervenes? Can they withstand it?"
The Heaven Pillar Ancestor hesitated, thinking of Gu An. But he still spoke, "That's the cause and effect of the Long Clan. Your master ancestor doesn't need to get involved, especially since the Battle Court is so powerful. You've never been beyond the Grand World, so you don't understand how terrifying they are."
Long Qing continued, "That's right. My cause and effect won't implicate my master. He took me in, which was already a great effort. Back then, he didn't want me to bear this cause and effect, but I insisted."
He looked at Ye Cang, "Cang'er, when I was young, I was as impulsive as you are now. I'm telling you all this not because I want you to do something for me, but to let you know that everyone has their own fate, and can only control their own affairs."
Ye Cang fell silent after hearing this.
The Heaven Pillar Ancestor looked at his master and disciple, his heart also feeling heavy.
He understood the Battle Court's power better than Long Qing.
"With your current cultivation, even if you're prepared to sacrifice yourself, you might not be able to withstand the Battle Court. If you die, they won't spare your descendants. Although I don't know what you're relying on, I feel that you can't possibly sever the cause and effect of the Long Clan." The Heaven Pillar Ancestor looked at Long Qing, offering a reminder.
He paused, then continued, "Moreover, I can sense a powerful force approaching the Heavenly Spirit Grand World. I was surprised before, but now I think that force is the Battle Court."
Long Qing smiled, "I have my own methods. I've also sensed it, which is why I chose to tell you about this and didn't hide your existence."
The Heaven Pillar Ancestor stared at Long Qing, speaking seriously, "If the Battle Court wants to slaughter the Heavenly Spirit Grand World, I will take Ye Cang and leave. Although your master-disciple bond is deep, I also care about him."
Long Qing didn't respond. Instead, he picked up the already cold teacup from the table.
Ye Cang took a deep breath, slowly standing up. His gaze became determined as he looked at Long Qing, "Master, I'll remember the principles you've taught me, but as for your cause and effect, I want to help you. Isn't it the Battle Court? I don't believe they're truly invincible!"
The Heaven Pillar Ancestor glared, "You little brat, what strength do you have to talk big? Without my power, what's the difference between you and an ant?"
Ye Cang turned to him, "If I can't defeat them, I'll protect the Long Clan. Master, rest assured, I won't throw my life away. I remember what I promised you, and once I fulfill that, perhaps I'll have the ability to confront the Battle Court."
The Heaven Pillar Ancestor opened his mouth but couldn't bring himself to say anything.
He really wanted to say that even if Ye Cang fulfilled his promise, it would still be far from enough to shake the Battle Court.
