Chapter 596: I Thought You Were Him
Chapter 596: I Thought You Were Him
Gu An discovered traces of Wu Dao Xian within the demon city.
Wu Dao Xian was the master of Hei Xuan Di, and it was he who incited Hei Xuan Di to slay his reincarnation body. Like Hei Xuan Di, he met his end at the hands of the Celestial Spirit Deity, but surprisingly, he had not truly perished.
Wu Dao Xian imparted the Great Dao Exclusive Art to Hei Xuan Di, an incredibly exquisite cultivation technique that Gu An then passed on to Jiang Shi and An Sheng Tian. With this art, they were capable of challenging the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit.
It's worth mentioning that Zhu Xi also learned the Great Dao Exclusive Art from Xun Xian Dao Ren, indicating some connection between Xun Xian Dao Ren and Wu Dao Xian.
Of course, there's another possibility—this art might be related to the Celestial Court.
Currently, Zhu Xi is wandering in other vast universes, and Xun Xian Dao Ren has disappeared without a trace, but Wu Dao Xian has suddenly appeared.
Gu An could sense that this Wu Dao Xian was not the original, and the original was hidden in a secret space along the Great Dao path. To locate it precisely, he would need to interact with Wu Dao Xian's clone first.
Wu Dao Xian boasted that a divine being would be born in this place, which piqued Gu An's interest even more.
Could it be that he had foreseen the Celestial Spirit Deity's resurrection here?
If so, things were about to get interesting.
Gu An wasn't afraid of Wu Dao Xian causing trouble; as someone not tolerated by the Celestial Court, Wu Dao Xian had been in hiding and couldn't possibly be colluding with them.
Gu An was also curious about the backing Wu Dao Xian had.
Bai Sheng had no objections to Gu An's proposal and took the lead in walking forward. He didn't mind the person Gu An wanted to meet, as his heart was only focused on Su Jin.
Shen Zhen followed behind Gu An, and she asked through sound transmission, "He seems so distracted; could he be planning to give up Su Jin without a fight?"
"We'll find out today."
Gu An responded using sound transmission.
He watched Bai Sheng's back, feeling quite sentimental.
What he was reminiscing about wasn't Bai Sheng and Su Jin's relationship but the brotherly bond between them.
He missed the days when he and Bai Sheng traveled together, drinking and chatting freely. Bai Sheng, unaware that he was the Fu Dao Sword Sovereign, treated him without excessive reverence or any ulterior motives, and the two of them had a deep understanding of each other.
Unfortunately, times had changed, and Bai Sheng had lost that carefree spirit, and he had also long forgotten about Gu An.
More than thirty thousand years had passed, and now, the only one who could chat with Gu An casually was Shen Zhen, perhaps a sacrifice that came with great power.
As Gu An was sighing over the changes brought by time, the demon city became livelier.
A gust of wind blew in, startling the demons and cultivators on the street, who looked up to see a large fish with black feathered wings soaring over the city walls and flying towards the distance. This fish had a wingspan of thousands of meters, blocking out the sun, causing the street where Gu An and the others were to quickly darken.
Bai Sheng, with his extensive knowledge, wasn't surprised.
But if he knew that there was a pavilion on the fish's back, and within it was a being no less powerful than the Demon Emperor, he would surely be shocked.
The Demon Emperor of this city was named Da Liang Demon Emperor. Although he had the cultivation of a Divine Consciousness True Immortal, this fellow possessed a clue to a Heaven-Earth Supreme Treasure. This was also the reason why various powerhouses had come to pay their respects.
The Heaven-Earth Supreme Treasure was the term used in the cultivation world to refer to the mightiest of artifacts. These artifacts contained dense heavenly fortune and could even create a new world, harboring the power of the heavens and earth.
These Heaven-Earth Supreme Treasures also originated from the Battle Court, and the ones who crafted them were Golden Immortals, hence their ability to contain the power of a world.
Gu An didn't have a bad impression of the Da Liang Demon Emperor. Although this fellow had taken Su Jin captive, he treated her with courtesy and promised to wait for her to develop feelings for him before taking her. The reason for the early wedding was that the Heaven-Earth Supreme Treasure was about to be born.
It's worth mentioning that there were also people from the Dao Court who came to congratulate the Da Liang Demon Emperor.
Different realms had different circles, and the Da Liang Demon Emperor could only invite Freedom Immortal Realm cultivators at most. Such beings were rare and powerful in the entire world, ancient myths in the eyes of ordinary mortals.
Bai Sheng aimlessly wandered, but under Gu An's Dao influence, he was unknowingly drawing closer to Wu Dao Immortal.
As time passed, more powerful beings arrived, some even riding mounts more spectacular than the Black-Feathered Giant Fish. The city's demons felt a sense of pride and awe.
They didn't know the true strength of these powerful beings; they only felt the allure of the Great Liang Demon Emperor.
An hour passed swiftly.
Unbeknownst to them, Bai Sheng arrived at a massive stele located at a street intersection. This stele towered at a height of hundreds of feet, attracting the attention of countless beings.
Wu Dao Immortal was also here! In this life, Wu Dao Immortal wore a green Dao robe, had white hair, and held a dust-sweeping whisk in his hand. With his immortal aura and Daoist bones, he held the whisk in one hand and stroked his beard with the other, seemingly deep in thought.
Gu An walked straight towards him, passing by Bai Sheng.
Shen Zhen followed closely, causing Bai Sheng to subconsciously keep up.
"This stele seems to hold some profound meaning."
Gu An spoke softly as he approached Wu Dao Immortal.
Wu Dao Immortal glanced at him, initially unconcerned, but as soon as he saw Gu An, his expression changed abruptly.
Wu Dao Immortal scrutinized Gu An and asked, "What's the matter? Did you notice something?"
Gu An, in his eyes, was just a Heavenly Flying Immortal, but his appearance made Wu Dao Immortal feel a sense of familiarity.
Why does he look so much like a troublesome disciple I once taught?
Gu An turned to Shen Zhen and smiled, asking, "Did you notice anything?"
Hearing this, Shen Zhen began to carefully observe the hundred-foot-tall stele.
Wu Dao Immortal didn't look at Shen Zhen; instead, he kept his gaze fixed on Gu An, his eyes sharp as if trying to see through him.
Bai Sheng, standing behind, observed Wu Dao Immortal. He had seen many Daoists like Wu Dao Immortal, but he could sense a hint of hostility from Wu Dao Immortal towards Gu An.
"I see a giant red turtle, and this stele belongs to its shell."
Shen Zhen suddenly spoke, drawing Wu Dao Immortal's attention. Surprise flashed in his eyes.
This girl can see through things?
Shen Zhen continued her observation, furrowing her brows as she said, "That red turtle is still alive, and I want to find a fragment of its shell."
Wu Dao Immortal took an interest in her and smiled, asking, "This young lady is not ordinary; she can even see the cause and effect beyond the heavens. May I ask, who is your master?"
Shen Zhen snapped out of her thoughts and didn't answer Wu Dao Immortal directly. Instead, she looked at Gu An, conveying her answer with her eyes.
Wu Dao Immortal turned his gaze back to Gu An, sighing, "Young man, you resemble one of my disciples. If I hadn't witnessed his soul scatter, I would have thought you were him."
His eyes held a hint of nostalgia, as if reminiscing about that disciple.
Hearing this, Bai Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't seem like Wu Dao Immortal was seeking revenge.
Although he wasn't sure how powerful Gu An was, he could sense the unfathomable depth of Wu Dao Immortal's cultivation. Such a person was not to be trifled with.
Gu An nodded, "You also resemble one of my masters. If I hadn't witnessed his beheading, I would have thought you were him."
As soon as these words left his mouth, Wu Dao Immortal's pupils abruptly contracted, and almost instantly, he raised his right hand.
Shen Zhen and Bai Sheng had no time to react.
However, Gu An's actions were even faster.
Slap!
Gu An's right hand landed on Wu Dao Immortal's shoulder, causing the mana within him to dissipate instantly, and his eyes widened in shock.
