Chapter 606: Gathering and Projection
Chapter 606: Gathering and Projection
After harvesting the ripe medicinal herbs, Gu An left on his own, while the Datura Ghost Mother, as usual, began sowing seeds.
Gu An didn't return to his own courtyard; instead, he randomly chose a direction and started walking.
As he walked, he played with the Destiny Pen.
He seemed to be admiring the scenery along the way, but in reality, he was observing Zhang Bukou, who was far away in the Great Swamp Grand World.
Zhang Bukou had already taken root in the Great Swamp Grand World and had established a powerful Demon Clan.
Xu You, a reincarnated being from the Celestial Court, assisted him and taught him the art of destiny, which further strengthened his Demon Clan. Those under his command found cultivation easier, and their fortunes increased.
Watching Zhang Bukou's current achievements, Gu An felt relieved.
At least Zhang Bukou no longer had to wander aimlessly, as he had found his own life's purpose.
If Zhang Shixiong were still alive, what would he feel seeing his son's success and influence? Gu An wondered, and his mood improved even more.
The advantage of staying in the mortal realm was that there were always new and different things happening, something that even the immortal gods might not experience.
Even if many events seemed similar, the fact that different people experienced them would always result in unique outcomes.
Half an hour later, Gu An arrived at a waterfall. He sat on a rock by the riverbank and began to cast the Lifespan Projection.
[Please select the Dao you wish to pursue]
The Dao of Cause and Effect!
This was the Dao that Gu An was currently most proficient in.
[This will consume 100,000,000,000 years of lifespan. Continue?]
What nonsense!
A lifespan of one trillion years! Gu An cursed inwardly, knowing that the new function wasn't as good as it seemed.
The later the function is released, the more lifespan it will consume! He instinctively wanted to refuse, but then he changed his mind. There must be a reason for the high cost.
At the very least, he wanted to see what made it so expensive. If he wasn't satisfied, he could always permanently seal this function later.
Continue!
[You have chosen to consume 100,000,000,000 years of lifespan to initiate the Lifespan Projection]
[Projection begins]
[Projection into the Taiwei Grand World]
[Projection into the Supreme Purity Grand World]
...
A series of prompts continuously appeared before Gu An, surprising him.
He could actually see the specific worlds being projected!
Gu An saw the Great Swamp Grand World where Zhang Bukou resided, and also the Xuanqing Grand World that the Dark Emperor had once visited.
He even saw worlds that didn't have Grand World names.
Although he only saw their names, it was enough to spark his imagination.
Soon, all the prompts stopped.
He had actually projected into three thousand worlds!
Gu An was amazed, but soon, he felt something was amiss.
The projection was complete, but then what?
Gu An furrowed his brows, feeling confused but not anxious. He patiently waited, sitting on the rock.
Time passed quickly.
About half an hour later, two prompts appeared before him:
[Begin gathering the projected body]
[Begin inheriting the insights of the Dao]
The spiritual energy within the Primordial Dao Ground suddenly stagnated, causing everyone inside to open their eyes.
Before Gu An could think further, infinite insights of the Dao flooded into his mind, plunging his consciousness into chaos.
At the edge of the Primordial Dao Ground, at the entrance, stood a stone gate built by Anxin.
Outside the stone gate was a thick fog, making it appear mysterious.
A figure emerged from the mist and stepped through the stone gate; it was Tian Hao.
Tian Hao strode forward with the grace of a dragon and the might of a tiger. Behind him, three uniquely shaped long spears floated, each measuring ten feet in length and fanned out.
A proud smile hung on his face as he muttered, "This time, I'll definitely surprise Master!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. He furrowed his brows and looked up at the distant mountain ranges, his eyes filled with astonishment and doubt.
The spiritual energy within the Dao Ground seemed to have ceased its flow, and an unfamiliar, unsettling force was running amok.
Without hesitation, he leaped into the air, transforming into a rainbow-colored light that swiftly vanished beyond the mountains.
After some time...
"This is the first time I've seen Master enter a state of enlightenment."
Everyone gathered by a small river, whispering as they watched Gu An sitting in meditation on a rock across the river.
Tian Hao was among them, his gaze fixed on Gu An, filled with curiosity.
In all his years, this was the first time he had witnessed his master entering such a state.
In Tian Hao's eyes, his master was already the most powerful existence, and yet, he was still capable of enlightenment?
Could Master be about to break through?
Tian Hao couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brothers and Sisters, what realm has Master reached? Has he attained the Dao Treasury Freedom Immortal Realm?"
The Dao Treasury Freedom Immortal Realm was a state he had only heard of in recent decades, and it was said that those who achieved it possessed the power to move mountains and seas.
No one answered him because they, too, were unaware of Gu An's cultivation realm.
The Xueyu Great Sage hummed, "Brat, all you need to know is that Master is stronger than anyone you've ever met, even surpassing the beings who created this world."
Tian Hao's heart raced as he listened. He pressed further, "Have you ever seen Master fight, not just spar?"
As the senior disciple of the Heaven and Earth Sect and the leader of the younger generation, Tian Hao often undertook missions, earning great merits for the sect. He had experienced numerous life-and-death battles and had grown fond of the thrill.
The intensity of real combat far exceeded that of friendly sparring.
Lu Xian smiled, "I've witnessed it, but no one could withstand even a single move from your master."
The Ghost Mother of Datura added, "No matter how powerful the opponent, facing your master would result in death by his sword."
Lu Xian continued, now in high spirits, "It's time for you to learn about your master's past."
He began narrating the story of the Taixuan Sect, and even Anxin and Shen Zhen, who rarely spoke with Tian Hao, chimed in from time to time. Along with the Xueyu Great Sage, they pieced together Gu An's past.
Even Jiang Shi, An Shengtian, Tian Xiao'er, Tian Qing, Tian Bai, Chen Chuan, and the Ghost Mother of Datura learned things they had never heard before.
From helping small sects establish righteous paths to saving the continent, the oceans, and even the world, everyone could sense Gu An's heart turning towards great benevolence.
After saving countless lives, Gu An chose to leave the Taixuan Sect, retreating to this place, and supporting the Heaven and Earth Sect. This only added to their admiration for him.
To this day, the Heaven and Earth Sect remains a righteous sect, though occasional misdeeds occur. Most disciples still uphold chivalry as their code of conduct, and even the Dao Court is hesitant to wage war against such a righteous sect.
Tian Hao listened intently, and his mindset gradually shifted.
Since childhood, although Gu An hadn't taught him much, Tian Hao had always admired his adoptive master. When he was young, Gu An's every word and action inspired him, and he aspired to become like him.
"Perhaps, I shouldn't just strive for strength for its own sake."
Tian Hao silently contemplated as he watched Gu An meditating across the river, still in a state of enlightenment.
The others continued to reminisce about the past, and as they recalled these events, they felt as if they had happened long ago, almost like a distant dream.
Suddenly, Gu An opened his eyes, and the entire Primordial Dao Ground returned to its original state. Spiritual energy surged, and the chaotic threads of cause and effect settled.
As soon as he opened his eyes, the first person he saw was Tian Hao across the river.
The master and disciple locked eyes, and Tian Hao's gaze burned with intensity. When he saw his master open his eyes, his heart raced with fear.
Gu An narrowed his eyes, and with just a glance, he saw through Tian Hao's billions of years of life.
