Chapter 622: Zi Long Xing Jun, A Greater Guan Yao
Chapter 622: Zi Long Xing Jun, A Greater Guan Yao
Gu An shared her knowledge of Jin Ji God and the Seventy-Two Immortals of Jin Dong, including Xuan Su Xian Jun and Taiyi Immortal Lord.
When An Xing initially cultivated the Celestial Emperor Orb, Gu An felt that she had truly matured, and it was time to broaden her horizons and expand her knowledge.
An Xing was indeed stunned. Although legends of deities had been circulating in the world, she never imagined that there were so many deities wandering among mortals.
After Gu An finished speaking, An Xing remained silent for a moment. She raised her eyes and asked, "Master, is Tianhao my senior brother's reincarnation?"
Gu An did not give an ambiguous answer but nodded.
An Xing asked further, "Did you make my senior brother into a deity because his destiny originally belonged to the deities?"
An Hao's talent in his past life was equally astonishing, and he did not seem like an ordinary mortal.
Gu An sighed, "I can only say that it was a twist of fate, and it was also the will of the Heavenly Spirit Sage's choice."
He narrated the past of the Heavenly Spirit Sage, the Celestial Spirit Deity, and An Hao, and as An Xing listened, her eyes shone with a strange light.
She realized that the final battle of the previous epoch had so many grudges, and her senior brother was truly the son of heaven and earth, favored by the heavens.
An Xing continued to ask, "Master, if Xuan Su Xian Jun and Taiyi Immortal Lord descend, and they want to enslave the mortals or take my senior brother away, what would you do?"
Gu An looked at her and smiled, asking, "What do you hope I will do?"
An Xing blinked and said, "Rationally, I hope that you won't get entangled in Guan Yao, but in my heart, I want to see how you would fare against the deities."
The presence of so many deities excited An Xing.
She was not thrilled by the sight of the deities but by her master's strength.
Facing the potential threat of so many deities, her master could still smile at the mortal realm. How profound was her cultivation?
Gu An looked at her and said, "The deities are indeed powerful, and I will not provoke them."
If the deities provoke you, will you kill them? An Xing wanted to ask this question, but she held back, not out of fear of offending, but because she wanted to leave some suspense and anticipation.
As Gu An and An Xing were discussing the deities, the deities wandering in the mortal realm finally encountered each other.
Surrounded by mountains, a vast lake lay, with dense forests on its shores. Mist rose from the forest, and Jin Ji God stood by the lake, his brows tightly furrowed, scanning the surroundings. He clenched a spear in his hand.
"Jin Ji God, you're indeed diligent. If I were Xuan Su Xian Jun, I would be moved and would strongly support you."
"Hmph, who doesn't know that Xuan Su Xian Jun has a mad dog under his command, doing all sorts of heaven-defying and immoral deeds? If not for Xuan Su Xian Jun's protection, he would have been severely punished by Tian Fa Yan Cheng and vanished into thin air long ago."
"I heard that Xuan Su Xian Jun once descended to the mortal realm to secretly meet a mortal woman, fearing that he would violate Tian Gui, and so he had Jin Ji God kill his mortal children and grandchildren."
"It's truly laughable that a dignified heavenly deity doesn't guard his territory but instead runs around doing such things."
"Indeed, those who don't know might think he hasn't achieved immortality and that spreading the Dao doesn't require the personal intervention of a heavenly deity."
Voices came from all directions, filled with ridicule.
Upon closer inspection, figures emerged from the forest, and even on the lake's surface, silhouettes appeared and disappeared.
Jin Ji God was not angry, but his face was grim. He gritted his teeth and uttered six words: "The Seventy-Two Immortals of Jin Dong..."
Despair flashed in his eyes as he could tell that the visitors were not friendly.
If it was just a provocation, why would the Seventy-Two Immortals personally surround him? As he remained silent, the Seventy-Two Immortals of Jin Dong emerged from the thick fog, and all their gazes fell upon him, making him feel like he had thorns on his back, extremely uneasy.
Jin Ji God struggled to maintain his composure. He turned his gaze to the purple-robed man with the most formidable aura, raised his hand in a salute, and said, "Zi Long Xing Jun, what matter requires the joint action of the Seventy-Two Immortals of Jin Dong?"
"Lord Zi Long Xing Jun, the leader of the seventy-two Immortals of Golden Gorge, was one of the few who did not mock the Jin Ji God. His indifferent expression exuded an air of disdain, as if looking down upon all creation.
When the Jin Ji God questioned him, Lord Zi Long Xing Jun did not respond. Instead, he walked towards the Jin Ji God, stopping just three steps away.
The Jin Ji God was tall and robust, but Lord Zi Long Xing Jun stood a head taller. In his presence, the Jin Ji God's aura seemed to diminish.
Lord Zi Long Xing Jun slightly raised his chin, his gaze looking down upon the Jin Ji God, who couldn't help but avert his eyes.
'Do you really think Xuan Su Xian Jun sent you here to spread the Dao? You, of all people, are a Celestial Being,' Lord Zi Long Xing Jun asked.
The Jin Ji God's eyes flickered, and he replied, 'I serve the Immortal Lord and dare not question his orders. My task is merely to spread the Dao.'
Lord Zi Long Xing Jun's expression remained cold. He continued, 'Back then, the Heavenly Spirit Sage stole more than just the World-Destroying Great Pearl from the Purple Palace.'
The Jin Ji God looked up at him, his eyebrows furrowing as if he truly didn't know about this.
Lord Zi Long Xing Jun spoke softly, his eyes sharpening as he continued, "Currently, only the two Immortal Lords know about this, but that may change in the future. The fewer who know, the better."
The Jin Ji God's face paled, and he instinctively tried to retreat, but a golden light trapped him, rendering him immobile. With difficulty, he lifted his head and saw a golden umbrella floating above him.
The other Golden Gorge Immortals continued to approach, while Lord Zi Long Xing Jun's gaze became increasingly menacing.
'Are you trying to kill a god?' the Jin Ji God asked, looking back at Lord Zi Long Xing Jun with gritted teeth.
Lord Zi Long Xing Jun's expression remained unchanged as he said, "Under the radiance of the Heavens, how could we possibly go against the Heavenly Rules? But we need you to sleep for a while."
As soon as he finished speaking, he struck the Jin Ji God's chest with a palm, destroying his physical body and turning it into countless golden specks.
He then retracted his hand, and the myriad golden specks condensed into a golden pearl in his palm.
Casually, he tossed it to the side, and a Golden Gorge Immortal with three heads caught the pearl, swallowing it into his mouth and beginning to chew and swallow.
The Golden Gorge Immortals watched this scene, all of them wearing mocking smiles.
A female Immortal turned to Lord Zi Long Xing Jun and said, 'Senior Brother, after all these years, we still haven't found him. In my opinion, why not shatter this vast universe? If he's truly here, he will reveal himself.'
Her words received agreement from many of the Golden Gorge Immortals.
'No, this is still a vast universe. Although destroying it may not be considered a severe punishment for us, it will undoubtedly attract more attention. If we were to do the same, wouldn't you wonder why we gathered to destroy it?' an elderly Immortal spoke up, his eyes fixed on Lord Zi Long Xing Jun.
Lord Zi Long Xing Jun gazed into the distant sky and said, 'The Guan Yao of this vast universe has been altered, but fortunately, the legends remain among mortals. Let's continue searching for Fu Dao Jian Zun. Perhaps the purpose of his existence in this realm is the same as ours. He should still be here.'
