Chapter 621: The Golden Gorge's Seventy-Two Immortals
Chapter 621: The Golden Gorge's Seventy-Two Immortals
The Celestial Spirit Deity stood silently before the realm gate, his gaze calm, lost in thought.
Time passed swiftly.
After a long while, the realm gate erupted with a dazzling light, and from it emerged seventy-two figures, both men and women, each with unique attire but all exuding extraordinary auras, bathed in celestial radiance.
The Celestial Spirit Deity's expression changed slightly, clearly not expecting the identities of the arrivals.
Leading the group was a man in a purple robe, wearing a divine crown adorned with intricate patterns and studded with exquisite crystals. Two dragon horns extended from the crown, and as he strolled, wisps of blue flame encircled his body.
The Celestial Spirit Deity immediately bowed in greeting to them.
The purple-robed man did not acknowledge the Celestial Spirit Deity and walked right past him, with the others following closely behind.
"Celestial Spirit Deity, you've been guarding this backward Vast Universe for so many years. It's time to bow down to the Purple Palace Immortal Emperor. It's a waste of your talent."
A young man in golden chain mail, holding a long spear, smiled at the Celestial Spirit Deity.

- Publish your Space, making it accessible to others.
He walked among the crowd, and if observed individually, his aura was no weaker than that of the Celestial Spirit Deity.
The Celestial Spirit Deity remained silent, and the golden-armored youth didn't seem offended, continuing on his way.
As he watched them fly into the depths of the universe, the Celestial Spirit Deity sighed inwardly, "Taiyi Immortal Lord has sent the Golden Gorge's Seventy-Two Immortals. It seems Jin Ji God is destined to die."
"But is Jin Ji God worth the mobilization of the Golden Gorge's Seventy-Two Immortals?"
The Celestial Spirit Deity thought of Gu An. Could Taiyi Immortal Lord have learned of Gu An's existence?
Just thinking about Gu An made his feelings complicated.
He had died at Gu An's hands, which could be considered a grudge, but Gu An hadn't truly eliminated him. Moreover, Gu An had treated his son extremely well, making it difficult for him to discern his own feelings towards Gu An.
Regardless, it had nothing to do with him; he only needed to sit and watch.
...
Time passed slowly.
Five thousand years had passed since Gu An helped Xuan Miao Zhenren lift the curse.
Despite the entire world's efforts to counter the Xiantian Human Race, they couldn't completely eradicate them. Gu An had tried, secretly eliminating an evil Xiantian Human Race demon, but he didn't receive any lifespan extension.
This Xiantian Human Race was entangled with a mysterious karmic power related to Jin Ji God. Perhaps their lifespans were already in Jin Ji God's grasp.
Unable to take their lifespans, Gu An didn't bother to intervene further, leaving the resolution to the beings of this world.
Although he didn't take action himself, it didn't mean he was indifferent. His disciples, acting on his instructions, had saved countless lives over the past five thousand years.
The fame of Nothingness had spread, and all the sects in the world were aware of his existence. Tian Xiao'er, Chen Chuan, and others had not revealed Gu An's name, so the world only knew they were from Nothingness, but the master of Nothingness remained unknown.
On this day, the weather was clear.
Gu An was guiding An Xing in cultivating the Celestial Emperor Orb. Since being stimulated by Tianhao's Heavenly Tao Karma to enter the realm, her understanding of the Celestial Emperor Orb had grown. Although her achievements were far from Gu An's, she could now wield the power of the Celestial Emperor Orb.
Her Celestial Emperor Orb ability was not a karmic power but a devouring force that could consume everything and transform it into her strength in a short time.
This was a highly practical ability in combat, as the devoured power, although temporary, could turn the tide in a closely matched battle.
She had just begun to comprehend it. If she became powerful enough to devour a Great Way and make it fight for her, the scene would be terrifying even to imagine.
After so many years, although An Xing's comprehension was awakening, her combat talent wasn't exceptionally high. Now, with the Celestial Emperor Orb, she truly had the qualifications to challenge Tianhao.
However, the Celestial Emperor's Orb was linked to the Heavenly Court's cause and effect, and it was not something to be used casually outside of the Dao Court.
Gu An looked at An Xing, his face gradually breaking into a smile as he thought.
Unbeknownst to him, An Xing had become the person who had accompanied him the longest. For this filial and obedient disciple, he had a soft spot, and he openly favored her. He didn't mind if other disciples were envious because he believed that An Xing's diligent nature deserved such treatment.
The master and disciple sat in the bamboo grove. An Xing closed her eyes, and on her eyelids, a pair of purple eyes appeared, mysterious and eerie.
Bamboo leaves fluttered and scattered, one of them landing on An Xing's head.
An Xing suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Gu An, saying, "Master, I have an ominous premonition. The more I comprehend this divine ability, the stronger this feeling becomes, as if some terrifying presence is drawing near."
Gu An replied, "Trust your instincts. Indeed, what you're cultivating is not Misfortune's End Gaze, but a powerful divine ability known as the Celestial Emperor's Orb. This orb can even make deities wary."
An Xing's perception was due to the increasing number of deities in the Heavenly Spirit Grand World.
Over three thousand years ago, seventy-two deities, no less powerful than the Celestial Spirit Deity, had crossed through the realm gate. Among them, one had even reached the pinnacle of the Taiqing Jin Xianjing realm. Gu An could discern that they had a complex karmic connection with Taiyi Xian Jun, suggesting that these deities were likely summoned by Taiyi Xian Jun.
They infiltrated the Heavenly Spirit Grand World, drawing no attention. Concealing their auras and identities, they wandered in the mortal realm.
Wu Yi Cuo Yi Shou Yi Fa Yi Nei Yi Rong Yi Zai Yi 6 Yi 9 Yi Shu Yi Ba Yi Kan!
Initially, Gu An had assumed they were here to learn from Jin Ji God and spread the fame of Taiyi Xian Jun. However, that wasn't the case.
They seemed to be searching for something.
With the protection of the Heavenly Tao Karma, Gu An couldn't hear their inner thoughts.
At this moment, Gu An suddenly had a hunch.
Could they be searching for the Celestial Emperor's Orb?
Once the Celestial Emperor's Orb was cultivated to completion, it would alert the Heavenly Court. But An Xing had never used the power of the Celestial Emperor's Orb outside, and Gu An still trusted the Dao Court.
He suddenly thought of another person.
Tianhao!
A primordial deity like him couldn't escape the notice of other deities.
Speaking of Tianhao, his reputation shook the world, yet Jin Ji God had never sought him out. While it might have been a coincidence in the past, the fact that they hadn't met face-to-face until now was clearly unreasonable.
Could it be that Taiyi Xian Jun and Xuan Su Xian Jun didn't have a grudge, but this vast world held something that forced them into competition?
"The deities' wariness... Does that mean I can't use it in the future? Will it cause trouble for you, Master?" An Xing asked anxiously.
Gu An smiled and said, "That's why you must continue cultivating. Reach the realm of perfection and master the Celestial Emperor's Orb. Then, even when you go out, you won't leak its aura."
An Xing seemed deep in thought. She raised her eyes to look at Gu An and asked, "Master, could it be that the Xiantian Human Race, which is causing chaos in the world, was brought about by me?"
Gu An huffed, "Do you think you have that ability?"
An Xing stuck out her tongue, her ears turning red from the scolding, but she also heaved a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on her face.
As long as it wasn't her, she didn't have the grand ambition to save the world, but she also didn't want to bring about a world-ending calamity because of herself.
"However, there are currently dozens of deities in the mortal realm. Among the three thousand great worlds, our Heavenly Spirit Grand World is the one with the most deities at present."
Gu An's words piqued An Xing's interest, and she began to ask about the deities' whereabouts.
