Chapter 593: The Divine in the Vast Universe
Chapter 593: The Divine in the Vast Universe
The eagle-headed monster's words echoed within the underground plaza, but the ancient voice of his so-called Master did not immediately respond.
Upon hearing the mention of the Sword Sovereign of the Dao, Long Qing's expression remained unchanged, and he did not reveal his connection with the Sword Sovereign.
Silence engulfed the underground plaza.
The eagle-headed monster turned and looked down at Long Qing on the ground. His right hand rose, transforming into an eagle's claw, slender and sharp, with a chilling glint at its tip.
He glared down at Long Qing, a cold smile on his face, unable to conceal the murderous intent in his eyes.
Long Qing looked up at him, his face still calm, showing no fear.
Seeing Long Qing's composure, the eagle-headed monster's anger ignited. His face contorted, and he raised his claw to strike at Long Qing.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, the ancient voice rang out, and the stone statue of the ferocious monster dissipated, releasing strands of demonic energy that quickly condensed into a transformed monster.
This was an old man, wearing a black robe made of beast skins. He floated in the air like a ghost, his white hair loosely hanging, covering most of his face. He looked at Long Qing, his eyebrows furrowed.
"What is your relationship with Long Qing, the head of the Taixuan Sect?" the old man asked, unable to deduce Long Qing's cause and effect, which made him feel uneasy and filled with a strong sense of panic.
He felt that disaster was imminent!
The eagle-headed monster turned his head to look at his Master, frowning. "Even if he has a connection with the head of the Taixuan Sect, so what? When the foreign forces attacked, the Sword Sovereign of the Dao didn't take action either. Moreover, over the years, some members of the Long family have also encountered trouble, and not all those who provoke the Long family's power have been wiped out."
He knew the identity of the head of the Taixuan Sect, a disciple of the Sword Sovereign of the Dao.
But the Sword Sovereign of the Dao had more than one disciple, including Yang Jian. During the campaign to aid the Great Azure Dynasty, Yang Jian had also been captured by a powerhouse, facing countless life-and-death tribulations, yet the Sword Sovereign of the Dao never intervened.
Even today, Yang Jian's nemesis still roams freely, which was why the eagle-headed monster felt that his Master was being overly cautious.
He even thought that his Master had been intimidated by the Sword Sovereign of the Dao, lacking the demeanor of a Freedom Immortal.
The black-robed old monster flickered and appeared in front of Long Qing, followed by the eagle-headed monster.
"What is your relationship with the Long family of the Taixuan Sect?" the black-robed old monster asked, staring at Long Qing.
Long Qing snorted, "If you want to kill or capture, I'll leave it to your discretion!"
He could tell that this monster greatly feared the Sword Sovereign of the Dao, and he didn't want to bring shame to his ancestors.
His attitude made the black-robed old monster even more nervous, as it was one of fearless arrogance.
The eagle-headed monster frowned, "Master, please let me kill him!"
The black-robed old monster turned to look at him, his eyes fierce. "If you dare to kill, you would have done it already. Why bring him before me? Isn't it because you're unsure and want me to bear the pressure for you?"
The eagle-headed monster's eyes widened, wanting to refute, but facing his Master's gaze, he held back.
In fact, just as his Master said, although he was angry, deep down he didn't feel as dismissive as his words suggested.
If he truly wasn't afraid of the lingering might of the Sword Sovereign of the Dao, he wouldn't have stood by while Long Qing slaughtered the demonic soldiers.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't contain his anger and went to the Great Azure Dynasty, only to hear that Long Qing was being bestowed a title. He was furious and took action to abduct Long Qing.
He was a Divine Consciousness True Immortal, and Long Qing was powerless before him.
"Moreover, you underestimate the Great Azure Dynasty. Someone has already caught up with us," the black-robed old monster said coldly, his tone icy.
Hearing this, the eagle-headed monster's face darkened.
The black-robed old monster turned to look at Long Qing. For some reason, seeing Long Qing's calm expression made him feel increasingly anxious.
He, too, began to feel angry.
Idiots!
How could they cause such a huge disaster?
In the current world of great contention, countless treasures emerged, and he also needed the help of monsters, which was why he supported this disciple.
Now, he regretted it.
The black-robed old demon took a deep breath and said, "Send him back! Do not let him suffer even the slightest injury!"
"What?"
The eagle-headed demon's expression changed drastically, and he looked at his master in disbelief, his eyes filled with anger.
The black-robed old demon suddenly burst out with an overwhelming aura, causing the eagle-headed demon to stagger backward.
"Either send him back, or you and I will sever our master-disciple relationship, and I will leave right now!" The black-robed old demon spoke in a tone that brooked no argument.
Upon hearing this, the eagle-headed demon panicked.
Long Teng watched the dispute between the two, finding it nothing but noisy.
Two useless fools!
The reason Long Teng didn't panic after being captured wasn't because he had something to rely on, but because he wanted to die and fall into reincarnation.
He stopped paying attention to the two demons and closed his eyes, thinking about the Heavenly Dragon Reincarnation Grand Dharma Image.
...
As for Long Teng's situation, Gu An only glanced at it and didn't pay it much mind. Such incidents were not uncommon in the Heavenly Spirit Grand World; many of his old acquaintances had experienced similar situations.
Once his enemies learned of their connection to Gu An, they would become hesitant and even start infighting.
Gu An was reading a book in the courtyard, still the Green Knight's Journey.
Xuan Tianyi had already reached the Wanderer Immortal Realm and traveled to more and more places. Every place he visited, he would write about, some stories were fictional, while others were true.
What Gu An admired most about Xuan Tianyi was his unwavering commitment to his original aspirations.
No matter how high his cultivation realm was, Xuan Tianyi could still write about his past stories without putting on airs.
Xuan Tianyi didn't write the Green Knight's Journey to please Gu An; they hadn't seen each other in many years, and Xuan Tianyi wrote more for himself.
Gu An had bought the Green Knight's Journey from the cultivation world and never offered any suggestions to Xuan Tianyi.
An Xin appeared beside Gu An out of thin air and said, "Master, the Heaven and Earth Sect is preparing to fight for a Primordial Spirit Tree. Yi Qing Shan invited me to help, and he said he could plant the Primordial Spirit Tree near our Dao Ground."
Gu An casually replied, "If you want to help, then go ahead."
He wasn't as strict with controlling An Xin, and over the years, she had helped the Heaven and Earth Sect numerous times, and her reputation had spread.
Of course, the reason Gu An tacitly allowed An Xin to help was that the Heaven and Earth Sect followed a righteous path.
Unlike other sects that only sought to gain benefits, the Heaven and Earth Sect prioritized life above all else. If they encountered a situation where lives were threatened, they would definitely intervene, and all their missions prioritized saving lives.
Being a chivalrous hero was the principle of the Heaven and Earth Sect's disciples. Nowadays, many people joined the sect to become immortal knights, not solely for longevity.
"In that case, I'll go. Recently, I've been discussing with Ghost Mother about improving the mountains and forests outside our Dao Ground, hoping to plant more medicinal herbs and turn the outside world into a human sacred land as well." An Xin said with a soft laugh.
She had already reached the Heaven-Earth Immortal Realm and held the Dao Artifact, Six Paths Mirror, which was enough to rival all beings within the Ninth Heaven of the Immortal Dao.
Gu An nodded slightly, his attention still on the book.
An Xin glanced at the cover of the book and thought to herself, "It's this book again. How can he not get tired of reading it?"
She bowed to Gu An and then chatted with Shen Zhen, who was in front of the refining cauldron, before leaving.
It wasn't until the evening that Gu An put down the Green Knight's Journey, stood up, and started stretching his muscles.
He turned to Shen Zhen and asked, "Do you want to go out for a walk?"
Shen Zhen turned to look at him, confused, and asked, "Then who will watch over the refining cauldron?"
"Actually, it's not necessary for someone to keep an eye on it all the time. Even without anyone, the Dao Artifact can still condense successfully." Gu An replied.
Shen Zhen's eyes widened, and she almost cursed.
Suppressing her anger, she asked, "Then where do you want to take me?"
Gu An answered, "To meet the gods of the Vast Universe."
"Gods?"
Shen Zhen's anger dissipated, replaced by curiosity.
