Chapter 602: A Grand Fortune
Chapter 602: A Grand Fortune
In the early morning, a thick fog enveloped the heavens and earth, and the peaks of the mountains emerged like sword tips, creating a scene akin to a celestial paradise.
On a mountain summit, a courtyard nestled amidst a garden of flowers and plants, and a white dog with slender limbs lay curled up on the ground, deep in slumber.
Suddenly, the door opened, and Li Xuan Yu, clad in a white dress, stepped out. The morning sun, peeking over the distant mountain peaks, illuminated her.
She raised her right hand, and a flower petal gently landed in her palm. She looked down, her gaze cold and detached.
A female disciple, brandishing a sword, swiftly flew through the clouds and into the courtyard. Before she even touched the ground, her flying sword shrank and flew into her sleeve. After landing, she took two steps forward and said with a smile, "Master, the Heaven and Earth Sect has recently produced a genius with extraordinary talent, and all the branches are vying for him. We can't let this opportunity slip by."
As the reputation of the Dao Court grew, the Heaven and Earth Sect began to emulate it by establishing various branches to foster healthy competition within the sect and better manage its power.
Li Xuan Yu was now the leader of one of the Heaven and Earth Sect's branches and held the position of Elder in the sect. Even after Tang Cai left, she had not departed.
Hearing the female disciple's words, Li Xuan Yu didn't seem too concerned. "There are countless geniuses; why bother competing for them?"
"This one is different. He's from the Forbidden Land! He was personally brought to the Heaven and Earth Sect by that Immortal!" The female disciple grew anxious and quickly explained.
The Forbidden Land!
Li Xuan Yu's expression shifted slightly. She was well aware of the Forbidden Land and knew that the Immortal they were referring to was none other than Gu An.
"Why would an Immortal bring a disciple to the Heaven and Earth Sect?" Li Xuan Yu asked.
"I was puzzled about it too, but now I understand. This disciple, Tian Hao, is truly remarkable. He's undoubtedly a blessing from the Immortal to our sect, and the Sect Master has already designated him as the next Sect Master!"
The female disciple was excited as she spoke of Tian Hao, her face filled with admiration.
Li Xuan Yu's interest was piqued, and she asked, "Is he really that powerful?"
The female disciple nodded eagerly, "It's said that when he first joined the sect, he only needed to glance at the inheritance pillar once to master the Great Mystic Skill. It's truly unfathomable!"
Li Xuan Yu fell into deep thought.
Tian Hao...
She hesitated, torn between trying to establish more connections with Gu An and her fear of disturbing him.
It wasn't that she had any specific requests for Gu An; she simply felt an inexplicable desire to understand him better.
How had Gu An traveled so far and acquired such formidable cultivation? What hardships had he endured?
The female disciple continued to talk about the benefits of accepting Tian Hao into their branch, but Li Xuan Yu's mind had already wandered elsewhere.
...
Time flew by.
A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.
The thunderclouds that had enveloped the Heaven and Earth Sect dissipated, and within the city, Gu An and Li Xuan Yu sat on the second floor of an inn, drinking wine. They leaned against the window, gazing at the streets below filled with cultivators looking up at the sky.
"Is Tian Hao really human? To advance from the Great Sage Realm to the Wanderer Immortal Realm within a thousand years is too exaggerated..."
"Could he be a reincarnated Immortal?"
"It's very likely, considering he was personally brought to the sect by an Immortal."
"Regardless, such a genius will be beneficial to us. He will lead the Heaven and Earth Sect to unprecedented heights."
"That's right. Instead of being jealous, we should look forward to it together."
Listening to the discussions at the other tables, Li Xuan Yu turned to Gu An, wanting to ask him something but unsure if she should.
Gu An swirled the wine in his cup and smiled, "When I first found him, I already felt he was extraordinary. As expected, even I find it incredible."
Li Xuan Yu spoke softly, "Is that so? I don't believe in so many coincidences."
Given Gu An's strength, it was evident that he was skilled in teaching disciples. Li Xuan Yu attributed Tian Hao's talent to Gu An's guidance, believing that he had secretly instructed Tian Hao.
She was qualified to say such words. After Tian Hao became her disciple, she initially taught him with utmost dedication, but soon, Tian Hao's comprehension of Dao techniques surpassed her, as if he were divinely aided.
Recalling this, she couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.
She would never forget the expression on Yi Qing Shan's face when he entrusted Tian Hao to her.
Not only did she gain Tian Hao as a disciple, but her branch also received better treatment. In just a thousand years, the branch she oversaw had risen to the top ten within the sect. She could recruit more talented disciples and had the support of numerous prominent families, who sent many powerful cultivators her way.
She knew that all the privileges she enjoyed today were brought about by Gu An.
"Why did you send him to me as a disciple? You know I can't teach him anything," Li Xuan Yu finally asked.
Gu An drained the wine from his cup and smiled, "It wouldn't have mattered who I gave him to; no one could teach him. This is a grand fortune. As long as he joins the Heaven and Earth Sect, it becomes the sect's fortune. And as for who specifically teaches him, it's only natural to choose someone I trust. It's not just because of our past friendship; I also wanted to leave a good karma for Li Shixiong."
Upon hearing Gu An mention Li Ya, Li Xuan Yu felt a sense of relief, and her heart settled.
Li Xuan Yu asked, "Why not visit my Dao Mountain for a gathering?"
There was no mistake in the first, second, or third character, but the fourth character was wrong.
Gu An looked out the window and said, "I like places like this, bustling with life. Don't you feel bored after being in seclusion for so long?"
As he spoke, he lifted his left hand to support his face, his eyes exuding laziness.
Li Xuan Yu also looked out the window, observing the bustling street with people coming and going. Whether it was her imagination or not, she seemed to sense a certain artistic realm.
Although Gu An was looking at the street, his spiritual eyes were actually gazing beyond the heavens.
The dimensional gateway stirred with activity.
Amidst the intense light, a figure emerged.
"Celestial Spirit Deity, it's not easy to find this vast universe. Is it your doing, or has the Celestial Spirit Immortal not completely perished?"
A burst of laughter echoed from within the gateway, and a gray-robed Daoist walked out. He had white hair but a youthful face, holding a dust-sweeping whisk in one hand and a white jade bottle in the other. Celestial energy swirled around him, and within that energy, faint silver light flickered, as if stars were hidden within.
The Celestial Spirit Deity stood up and turned to face the newcomer. The divine light on his body dissipated, revealing his true appearance—the face of Bai Sheng.
"Greetings, Great Yin Star Lord," he said, his tone indifferent.
Despite his cold demeanor, the Celestial Spirit Deity bowed to the Great Yin Star Lord.
The Great Yin Star Lord smiled and approached the Celestial Spirit Deity. "How many years has it been? Have you still not found that ultimate treasure?"
The Celestial Spirit Deity replied, "What ultimate treasure? I'm not aware of it. The reason I haven't destroyed this realm is that I've seen a favorable destiny here that benefits the Heavenly Court."
The Great Yin Star Lord glanced into the depths of the universe and said, "Indeed, the heavenly fortune is rising, and the reputation of the Heavenly Court is spreading. But I know what you desire."
The Celestial Spirit Deity's expression remained unchanged as he stared calmly at the Great Yin Star Lord.
After a while, the Great Yin Star Lord withdrew his gaze and looked at the Celestial Spirit Deity. "With your talent, your cultivation should be far greater. When will you ascend?"
The Celestial Spirit Deity answered, "It's all up to heaven's will. I only need to remain in my immortal position and wait for heaven's decree."
"Hmph! If you don't bow your head, how can heaven's will fall upon you?" The Great Yin Star Lord mocked.
The Celestial Spirit Deity fell silent once again.
The Great Yin Star Lord's eyes turned cold, and he said, "Help me with one thing, and I'll help you conceal your crime, allowing you and this vast universe to continue existing."
