Chapter 604: Heavenly Court Myth
Chapter 604: Heavenly Court Myth
Tian Hao's sudden appearance brought unprecedented morale to the Heaven and Earth Sect, and Qianqiu Youxian's fame spread far and wide.
Over the long years, countless people came to recruit Tian Hao, including those from the Dao Court, but things always ended inconclusively. There were also geniuses who challenged Tian Hao, but none returned victorious.
Ten thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.
Dao Court, Xiao Lan's Cave Mansion in her Dao Ground.
At a mountain stream, Xiao Lan, who had just broken through to the Heaven-Earth Flying Immortal Realm, was explaining the power of the Heaven-Earth Flying Immortals to Gu An.
The two sat in meditation on a massive rock, with a small table between them, holding wine and spiritual fruits.
Xiao Lan shared her experiences while comprehending the true meaning of heaven and earth, unaware that the person before her was just a clone.
Gu An's expression shifted slightly as his main body replaced the clone.
He had just returned from picking medicinal herbs at the Mountain God Temple on the Great Azure Continent and was in high spirits.
He summoned his attribute panel and began to admire it:
[Name: Gu An]
[Lifespan: 45, 402/760, 382, 411, 523]
[Constitution: Cyclic Reincarnation Indestructible Body]
[Cultivation: Perfected Open Heaven Great Immortal Realm]
...
His lifespan was drawing closer and closer to ten billion years! Gu An cherished this peaceful and harmonious life, free from external enemies, and his lifespan was increasing at a steady pace.
For him, the lifespan number was like an experience bar in a game.
Xiao Lan picked up a cup of wine and drank it in one gulp, saying, "Many peerless geniuses have emerged in the world. The current number one genius in the world does not belong to the Dao Court but comes from a sect called the Heaven and Earth Sect. His name is Tian Hao, and he is quite arrogant, taking the heavens as his name. However, his breakthrough speed is truly astonishing. He is only eleven thousand years old, yet he has already reached the Carefree Immortal Realm."
Mentioning Tian Hao, she sighed with emotion.
Gu An smiled and said, "You're not far behind either. On the path of cultivation, it's not about who is faster but who lives longer."
Xiao Lan shook her head and chuckled, feeling that Gu An didn't grasp the terror of Tian Hao.
Changing the subject, she said, "Recently, there have been widespread discussions about the Heavenly Dao's teachings, and many myths have emerged. They say that beyond the heavens, there are even more powerful immortals and deities from the Heavenly Court..."
The myth of the Heavenly Court did spread throughout the world, thanks to the efforts of the Immortal Sages and the intervention of the Taiyin Star Lord.
As more and more beings became aware of these myths, the Heavenly Dao's fortune in the world noticeably increased, and the Heavenly Light Layer above the Heavenly Spirit Grand World became brighter.
This made Gu An realize that even though there was a distinction between immortals and mortals, the Heavenly Court wanted the living beings to know of their existence.
Among the circulating myths of the Heavenly Court, the most powerful was the Immortal Lord Xuan Su. He was all-powerful, capable of creating the heavens and the earth. He could hear the voices of all living beings and save those in distress.
Immortal Lord Xuan Su was the master of Taiyin Star Lord, who actively promoted his image.
Gu An had an impression of this immortal deity. Before the reshaping of the heavens and earth, the deity's followers had already roamed the mortal realm, spreading his name far and wide. This resulted in many ancient believers writing about him in ancient books, allowing future generations to learn about his history and further believe in his myth.
It is worth mentioning that many human dynasties worshipped Immortal Lord Xuan Su and even established a causal relationship with him.
For example, Li Xuandao of the Great Azure Dynasty was one of the earliest recipients of Immortal Lord Xuan Su's power. This event occurred in the previous epoch.
Gu An had never interfered in this matter because, in his opinion, everyone had their own fortunes, and he preferred to observe the development of all things.
Xiao Lan couldn't comprehend the existence of immortal deities. In her opinion, the supreme beings of the Dao Court were already the strongest; how could there be immortal deities more powerful than them?
Upon reaching the Heaven-Earth Flying Immortal Realm, Xiao Lan felt an overwhelming sense of omnipotence, even contemplating a journey beyond the heavens. She struggled to imagine the power of the mythical gods and deities should they exist.
Xiao Lan began to entertain conspiracy theories, suspecting the existence of forces plotting to overthrow the Dao Court.
The Dao Court, as the supreme ruler, was akin to the Heavenly Dao itself, playing the role of a deity, setting the rules for the world. Now, with the knowledge that there were even more formidable gods and deities above the Dao Court, how should one regard it?
Gu An didn't pay much attention to Xiao Lan's thoughts. Everyone had their own perspectives, and Xiao Lan, being a part of the Dao Court, naturally considered its interests.
"This world is still too vast, and the Dao Court has yet to fully unify it," Gu An sighed.
Xiao Lan picked up the wine pot and poured a cup for Gu An, asking, "Why is it that I'm the one doing all the talking? Brother Gu, don't you have anything you want to know or something you desire? I can help you achieve it."
Gu An smiled and said, "Don't worry about me. I was once an ordinary mortal, and I'm already content with my current situation. I understand your concerns, but I haven't lost my freedom. While you were in seclusion, I often wandered around. I've made many friends in the Dao Court, and I'm truly satisfied. The thing that makes me happiest is hearing others marvel at your greatness; it makes me proud as well."
Xiao Lan was deeply moved by his words. She put down the wine pot and spontaneously stood up, moving closer to Gu An. She gazed at him with adoration.
Xiao Lan held Gu An's hand, and he didn't resist, watching her approach him slowly.
As Xiao Lan's face blocked the lower half of Gu An's face, his eyes turned upwards towards the sky.
At this moment, Li Ya was being stopped by the Taiyin Star Lord.
...
The waves relentlessly washed over the beach, and Li Ya, dressed in black, frowned as he faced the obstructing Taiyin Star Lord. His gaze grew colder.
"What is your purpose?" Li Ya asked bluntly, his right hand resting on the sword sheath at his waist.
The Taiyin Star Lord smiled and said, "Your fate has deviated from the path set by the Heavenly Dao. It seems you have a noble helper, and this change is ongoing. In the future, you may even forge a connection with a god or deity. Although I'm unsure which one, there's undoubtedly a hint of divine fortune upon you."
Li Ya scoffed, "What's this? Are you one of those heavenly Dao-preaching, heavenly court-serving, smelly Taoists? I don't believe in gods or deities."
If there were truly gods and deities, why would this world face so many tribulations, each time relying on his senior martial brother, Gu, to turn the tide?
If there were such beings, they could only be his senior martial brother, Gu.
His brother's temperament wouldn't allow him to be one who seeks praise.
The Taiyin Star Lord chuckled, waving the whisk in his right hand towards the white jade bottle held in his left. A drop of water flew out of the bottle's mouth, hovering between the two.
"Our encounter is also a form of fate. This is a divine brew that can help you transform and attain a primordial body. Consider it a virtuous connection," the Taiyin Star Lord said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, the drop of divine brew struck Li Ya's forehead, leaving him no time to dodge.
Li Ya was startled and immediately touched his forehead, but he felt nothing. He couldn't track the drop of divine brew and couldn't sense any abnormalities within his body.
The Taiyin Star Lord turned and left, speaking leisurely as he walked, "This grand world is not simple. There will surely be many fascinating stories in the future. Interesting, indeed."
