Chapter 571: The Fortune of the Heavenly Dao, Millennial Obsession
Chapter 571: The Fortune of the Heavenly Dao, Millennial Obsession
After inheriting the memories of the Eternal Emperor, Gu An's life returned to tranquility once more. His disciples at the Dao Ground were unaware that he had cultivated the Immortal Emperor's Eye, and he continued to refine Dao Artifacts.
In addition to crafting an artifact for the Deep Sea Dragon Carp, he also prepared artifacts for Jiang Qiong, Long Qing, Yang Jian, and Zhang Bukou.
Of course, these were merely prepared in advance, and the timing of their delivery would depend on his mood.
Refining artifacts, gathering herbs, and occasionally guiding his disciples, Gu An's life progressed at a leisurely pace, yet the passing of time seemed to accelerate.
A thousand years flew by in the blink of an eye.
During the Primordial Era, the Heavenly Spirit Grand World experienced continuous fortune. The Heaven and Earth not only nurtured extraordinary creatures but also produced superior Celestial Materials and Heaven-Earth Artifacts.
Artifacts were not solely crafted; the Heaven and Earth themselves would also give birth to Primordial Artifacts, which were more adept at stirring the rules of Heaven and Earth. Each one contained immense power, and those who obtained Primordial Artifacts would find it easier to become powerful figures who could shake the world.
In this context, the discourse of the Heavenly Dao began to spread among mortals once more. Those who obtained supreme treasures would be labeled as favored by the Heavenly Dao, causing all living beings to hold a deeper reverence and yearning for it.
On this day, after refining a Dao Artifact, Gu An set the foundation for a new one and then stood up.
Without greeting Shen Zhen, he directly walked away.
Shen Zhen didn't mind too much; she was immersed in the Grand Cauldron, sensing the Dao Artifact within. She felt a kind of Great Dao aura that she had never comprehended before.
"How does he possess so much Great Dao power...?"
Shen Zhen muttered to herself. In her opinion, mastering one kind of Great Dao power was enough to tower over all living beings, but Gu An had already displayed over a dozen kinds, and his depths were unfathomable.
She merely sighed and didn't think further, focusing on comprehending the Great Dao.
In the recent thousand years, as she comprehended the Great Dao, a yearning arose within her heart. It seemed like she was searching for something, but she wasn't clear what it was, not even to herself. It was an instinctual yearning.
This yearning drove her to work harder on her enlightenment than in the first half of her life, no longer slacking off.
Meanwhile, Gu An arrived at a mountain cliff, overlooking the mountain path below. The path was flanked by high mountains that blocked the sunlight, and the mountain walls were covered in creeping vines, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and solitude.
At this moment, a scholar carrying a satchel and supporting himself with a wooden cane was making his way forward. The path was steep, without stones, and overgrown with weeds that obscured sharp rocks, making his progress slow.
This scholar was none other than the reincarnated Celestial Spirit Deity.
Under Gu An's watchful gaze, a white fox followed the Celestial Spirit Deity.
This white fox had endured ten thousand years, finally finding the Celestial Spirit Deity after his reincarnation.
Ten thousand years ago, the Elder Brother had killed an evil man in the city to save Little Fifth, which led to the authorities pursuing him. The three white foxes, as promised, had saved Little Fifth, but after opening the path of killing, they could no longer restrain their murderous intent. When faced with troublemakers, they would always find a way to eliminate them. Over time, they were discovered by a Cultivation Sect.
With their low cultivation, they couldn't resist the capture of the cultivators. Little Fifth, on the other hand, was taken away by the same sect because he possessed Demon Power.
After cultivating for several decades, Little Fifth seized an opportunity to rescue the three white foxes, but by then, two of them had already died tragically. Little Fifth could only escape with the remaining fox, who was severely injured and on the brink of death.
The surviving white fox, named Su Jin, had sustained serious injuries, forcing Little Fifth to protect her during their subsequent escape. The Cultivation Sect started hunting them down because Su Jin had once transformed into a Green Crane Sword-wielding courtesan, leading to malicious speculation about their relationship among the cultivators. Rumors spread, and their names became known, attracting more cultivators to join the pursuit.
Under the pressure of the secular and Cultivation worlds, Little Fifth and Su Jin eventually developed feelings for each other.
Little Fifth escorted Su Jin to the Demon Realm, and to protect her, he died under the swords of the cultivators.
Such tragic stories were not uncommon in this world. Su Jin was fortunate; she found a powerful Demon master and obtained the technique to seek reincarnation.
She had searched for Little Fifth for ten thousand years, and it was only in this life that she finally found him.
Of course, the reason she could find him was also due to Gu An, as the Celestial Spirit Deity was covered by his cause and effect. Without Gu An's intention, she would never have found him.
The Celestial Spirit Deity had reincarnated hundreds of times, experiencing various lives. With each death, his will briefly awakened, allowing him to accept the experiences of his reincarnation.
Gu An could sense the change in Tian Ling Shen's mindset, so he gave him a chance.
In this life, Tian Ling Shen is named Bai Sheng, and he comes from a remote town. He is on his way to the imperial city of the dynasty to participate in the imperial examination.
He reached the highest point of the mountain path, and ahead was a downhill slope. He stopped, put down his satchel, and began to wipe the sweat from his brow.
He turned to look back, gazing down the mountain path he had come from. The undulating mountains and forests stretched as far as the eye could see, a magnificent sight that brought a smile to his face and stirred a heroic spirit within him.
"Traveling the world, even if reading brings no reward, this life is worth it," Bai Sheng sighed sincerely, his handsome face filled with pride and satisfaction.
Suddenly, he caught sight of a small white fox in the grass below. He waved and smiled, "Little fox, we meet again. Are you reluctant to part with me?"
Su Jin heard his words and immediately emerged from the grass, quickly climbing up the mountain. She made her way to Bai Sheng, rubbing against his trouser leg affectionately.
Bai Sheng was amused by her, and he took out his own provisions, sharing a piece with her.
Gu An stood at the top of the mountain, looking down at the joyful reunion between the man and the fox.
The story of the scholar and the demon reminded Gu An of the ancient literature of Huaxia in his previous life, Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. In the Celestial Spirit Grand World, there were many tales of love between humans and demons, but they were not so convoluted. Rarely did mortals who wronged demons meet a good end, as the power disparity was undeniable.
In this life, Bai Sheng and Su Jin were destined for a tragic ending, but with Gu An's intervention, everything could change.
Gu An decided to test Tian Ling Shen.
If Tian Ling Shen still lacked compassion, he would continue to sink in the cycle of reincarnation.
When Gu An no longer feared the Heavenly Court, it would be the time for his demise.
