Chapter 640: The Determination to be the Best in the World
Chapter 640: The Determination to be the Best in the World
As the sun set, Gu An hummed a little tune as he strolled along the mountain path within the Wushi Dao Field. His mood was excellent, and he occasionally reached out to touch the flowers and plants along the way.
After half a day of contemplation, he decided not to assist Zhang Buku but instead let Zhang Buku resolve his predicament on his own. Gu An's priority was to protect Zhang Buku's life.
He also wanted to see how Xu You would help Zhang Buku become a Heavenly Court Immortal.
Walking straight to the courtyard at the top of the mountain, Gu An had just entered when Tian Qing and Tian Bai, who had been waiting for a long time, approached him. Aside from them, only Shen Zhen and the White Spiritual Mouse were in the courtyard.
"Master, Emperor Tian Hong wants to join the Wushi Dao Field. What do you think?" Tian Qing asked first.
Tian Bai also looked at Gu An with anticipation.
Earlier that morning, Emperor Tian Hong had arrived at the Heaven and Earth Sect, causing a huge commotion. He declared his intention to join the Wushi Dao Field, startling the Heaven and Earth Sect's upper echelons, who summoned Tian Qing and Tian Bai.
Twenty thousand years ago, a disciple of Wushi emerged to save the world. Although it was ultimately Fu Dao Jian Zun who turned the tide, the Wushi disciple had already established a formidable reputation. Each Wushi disciple, holding mysterious Taoist treasures, left a deep impression on the various sects, despite their realms not being the pinnacle of their generation.
It was easy to speculate about Wushi's location, and it was no surprise that the Heaven and Earth Sect's disciples had found their way to the Wushi Dao Field.
However, Emperor Tian Hong was the most illustrious figure after the Xiantian Human Race's calamity, and his desire to join Wushi shocked everyone in the Heaven and Earth Sect.
The Heaven and Earth Sect itself was founded with the support of Wushi, and they held Wushi in high regard. They believed that if a figure like Emperor Tian Hong were to join Wushi, it would be a good thing for them, and perhaps Emperor Tian Hong would become part of their network in the future.
Gu An casually replied, "I won't accept him. Let the world know that Wushi doesn't recruit disciples. Those with fate will naturally join Wushi."
Even if Emperor Tian Hong wasn't Taiyi Immortal Lord's pawn, he wouldn't accept him.
When taking disciples, Gu An only considered their connection and not their talent, which was secondary.
In the new era, every so often, a peerless genius carrying the fortune of heaven and earth would be born. Ordinary people with a maximum lifespan of 9,999 years existed in various places, and Gu An occasionally encountered such individuals during his travels, but he would only take a second glance and never thought of taking them as disciples.
"Master, Emperor Tian Hong is extremely famous. After Tianhao left, no one in the world can compare to him. If we accept him, it will definitely increase Wushi's reputation. If you don't want to teach him personally, you can let us take him in."
Tian Qing continued, and since receiving Anxin's guests from the Heaven and Earth Sect, she and Tian Bai had been exposed to more fame and fortune. This had caused a change in their thoughts.
They wanted Wushi to become renowned throughout the world and become the number one sacred land. They believed that with Gu An, their Wushi was far superior to the Heaven and Earth Sect.
Gu An walked past them towards his house, saying, "I don't need fame. If you want to pursue empty fame, you can go out and establish your own sect in the future."
Upon hearing this, Tian Qing and Tian Bai looked at each other, not daring to persuade Gu An further.
Shen Zhen, who was in front of the refining cauldron, glanced at them and shook her head slightly, but said nothing.
Even the disciples within the Wushi Dao Field were beginning to pursue fame and fortune, and it seemed that the world was about to be embroiled in conflict again.
Shen Zhen thought to herself. She had been contemplating the Dao of Cause and Effect for many years, and her understanding of the world's trends deepened.
The world had been reshaped nearly a hundred thousand years ago. Apart from the chaos caused by the Xiantian Human Race, the human realm had been in a state of peace. However, human hearts were restless, and conflicts would inevitably arise.
(End of Chapter 640)
Even if the world were in chaos, what did it have to do with her?
Shen Zhen collected her thoughts and continued to comprehend the Great Dao.
Tian Qing and Tian Bai waited for a while before heading to the Heaven and Earth Sect, intending to reject Emperor Tian Hong.
They waited until nightfall.
The two women returned, walking through the forest. They stopped in front of a small river, and Tian Qing glanced sideways, her peripheral vision catching something behind them. She said, "Please go back. Any further is trespassing into the Wushi Dao Field."
From the depths of the forest, a figure approached. He was a handsome man in blue, with an extraordinary aura and an undeniable arrogance in his brows.
He was the current top prodigy of the Dao Court, Emperor Tian Hong!
Emperor Tian Hong looked at the two women and said, "I won't trespass into the Wushi Dao Field. I only wish to demonstrate my determination to Fu Dao Jian Zun."
Tian Qing and Tian Bai crossed the river and turned to face Emperor Tian Hong.
Emperor Tian Hong came to the river, lifted his robe, and knelt down.
Seeing this, the two women's eyes lit up with joy. Although they had rejected Emperor Tian Hong, deep down, they still hoped that Wushi could have a peerless genius like Emperor Tian Hong. With such a genius, Wushi's name would spread even further. They dared not defy Gu An and could only hope that Emperor Tian Hong would impress Gu An with his own efforts.
Tian Bai reminded him, "If you cross this river without permission, not only will you destroy any chance of entering Wushi, but you might also bring about irreversible disaster."
Kneeling before the river, Emperor Tian Hong straightened his chest and raised his head, his face resolute. Although he didn't reply, he had already shown his determination.
Tian Qing and Tian Bai turned and left, disappearing into the darkness of the night.
Under the night sky, the mountain forest was quiet, occasionally interrupted by the sound of insects, allowing Emperor Tian Hong's heart to find peace.
The latest chapter is now available!
Even as the top prodigy in the world, Emperor Tian Hong felt no humiliation, for this was his own choice.
His mind recalled the experiences of thousands of years ago.
He traveled the world and arrived at a place called Tai Cang Continent. He had heard that Tai Xuan Gate was once blessed by an immortal, so he decided to pay a visit.
It was only when he stepped onto the Patching Heaven Platform and held that axe that he was truly astonished.
After a moment of shock, he became determined.
He must obtain this inheritance!
He couldn't lift the Patching Heaven Axe, so he sought out Fu Dao Jian Zun. Returning to the Dao Court, he mobilized its resources and eventually discovered that Fu Dao Jian Zun was hiding within the Nine Ling Continent.
To free himself from the Dao Court, he didn't immediately rush to the Nine Ling Continent. Instead, he spent thousands of years tirelessly carrying out the Dao Court's missions, reporting back to them.
His determination even surprised the leader of the Dao Court, Yuan Song Zi, who met with him privately. After understanding his resolve, Yuan Song Zi also expressed his support.
Yuan Song Zi was even more aware of Fu Dao Jian Zun's power than Emperor Tian Hong. In Yuan Song Zi's eyes, by following Fu Dao Jian Zun's cultivation, Emperor Tian Hong could truly surpass Tian Hao and reveal his exceptional talent.
With the support of his sect, Emperor Tian Hong felt more at ease on his journey. He had anticipated rejection, so he wasn't in a hurry.
For him, waiting was a joy, filled with anticipation.
Throughout the night, Emperor Tian Hong was filled with happiness.
Days passed.
Tian Qing, Tian Bai, and the White Spiritual Mouse occasionally passed by him, but he remained unmoved, still kneeling before the river.
After kneeling for over a hundred years, when he still hadn't met Fu Dao Jian Zun, his heart finally succumbed to panic.
He had come with all his determination, but if he couldn't become a disciple of Fu Dao Jian Zun, how would he face the Dao Court? How would he stand in this world?
Doubts began to fill Emperor Tian Hong's mind. He clutched his knees, applying slight pressure.
