Chapter 652: Bai Shou Xian Zu
Chapter 652: Bai Shou Xian Zu
"What are you looking at?" Gu An asked with a smile, addressing Shen Zhen. He could sense her curiosity, but he didn't reveal the answer.
Even when facing Shen Zhen, Gu An would not disclose his true strength.
Shen Zhen snapped back to reality and asked, "Now that Emperor Tian Hong has left, do you really think he can save the world?"
Over the years, the human realm had become increasingly chaotic, and she could sense an eerie, indescribable power manipulating the lives of mortals from the shadows.
Such power must be related to the heavens.
This was not a cause that Emperor Tian Hong, even with his Dao Xu Xuan Sheng Jing cultivation, could resolve, regardless of his possession of the Dao treasure.
Gu An approached her and telekinetically moved a chair from a distance to sit beside her. As he sat down, he said, "Don't underestimate him. He possesses talents comparable to Tian Hao. Do you think he's an ordinary person?"
"Does he also have a divine background?"
"Perhaps."
Hearing Gu An's words, Shen Zhen could conclude that Emperor Tian Hong had an inseparable connection with the divine.
Tsk tsk.
The divine realm was elusive and intangible, yet it seemed not so extraordinary when standing by Gu An's side.
Shen Zhen turned to look at Gu An beside her, her eyes filled with an unusual brilliance.
She was curious about Gu An's role in the eyes of the divine. With a smile, Shen Zhen asked, "With so many divine beings appearing before you, do you think the Heavenly Court's target is you? If one day, the Heavenly Court invites you to join the Xian Ban, what would be your choice?"
"That depends on the position offered," Gu An replied casually.
Shen Zhen's eyes curved into crescent moons as she asked, "What if they invite you to be a horse keeper?"
She had approached Gu An because of her interest in his books, and even now, she still enjoyed reading the likes of Feng Shen Yan Yi, Journey to the West, and Tai Xuan Xian Zun.
Gu An rolled his eyes at Shen Zhen and said with a hint of annoyance, "You're quite the joker. If that's the case, I'll go and take care of the horses, and I'll bring you along to assist me."
"Great! The horses in heaven must be extraordinary."
Shen Zhen's excitement was palpable as she spoke, causing Gu An to shake his head and chuckle.
The two of them spent some time discussing the idea of going to the Heavenly Court to take care of horses before shifting the conversation to the matters of the world.
Shen Zhen was curious about the mysterious force that had brought chaos to the human realm, and Gu An did not hide the truth. He shared his discoveries with her, hoping to deepen her understanding of the Great Dao.
Speaking of which, apart from An Xing, Gu An had also put a lot of effort into cultivating Shen Zhen. It wasn't that he favored her, but rather that the others had not yet reached the stage of enlightenment and were still at the lower levels of secluded cultivation.
Shen Zhen's current achievements were also due to the cause and effect of the Yong Sheng Emperor.
Of course, this didn't mean she was lucky. After all, she relied solely on Gu An, unlike Tian Yao'er, who had a life-and-death relationship with him. Shen Zhen had chosen Gu An, abandoning all other ties, which was also the reason the Yong Sheng Emperor had chosen her.
Everything had its cause and effect, and behind coincidence was inevitability.
This year, the human realm underwent a significant change as a once-in-a-million-year peerless Tian Jiao was born again.
Instead of returning to the Dao Court, Emperor Tian Hong traveled the four corners of the world, suppressing evil forces in various regions.
The Dao Court, which ruled over the human realm, also exerted its power to suppress the unrest, and many Tian Jiaos emerged during the salvation of the world. Among them, the most renowned was the current top disciple of the Dao Court, Zhao Ru Shen.
In the chaotic and dark times, Emperor Tian Hong and Zhao Ru Shen shone like two bright stars, trying to illuminate the entire world with their feeble light.
...
A hundred years later.
On this morning, Gu An finished picking herbs in the Wushi Dao Field and left alone.
He walked through the forest outside the Dao Field, and his figure suddenly disappeared.
He continued walking, but the universe beneath his feet was changing, and with each step, he crossed a different universe.
Time and space seemed to flow like a shuttle, and light seemed to reverse its course. His pace appeared swift, but due to the endless journey, it also seemed slow.
Suddenly.
Gu An was enveloped in black qi, which quickly obscured his body. His right foot landed, and he found himself in an obscure and dark void.
He stopped and looked ahead, seeing an endless Dao Mountain range stretching before him. Each mountain was majestic, and in the distance, higher mountains stood like divine beings, exuding an overwhelming sense of power and oppression.
The Endless Dao Mountains!
As soon as Gu An appeared, he felt the power of the rules surging towards him, as if trying to cloak him in a layer that isolated him from the cause and effect of the simulation. However, he did not hide his true form.
He maintained his formless body, remaining vigilant towards the rules.
When the power of the rules enveloped him, he felt no restrictions on his actions, a fascinating principle.
He took a step forward, admiring the numerous Dao Mountains along the way.
Before coming, he had suppressed his cultivation to the Kai Tian Da Luo Immortal level. Moreover, he made his aura faint, appearing at first glance like a cautious mysterious cultivator, inadvertently revealing a hint of the Kai Tian Da Luo Immortal's aura.
He didn't come to the Endless Dao Mountain to cultivate but to gather intelligence, make connections with cultivators here, and gain a deeper understanding of the Great Dao.
If he could learn more about the Celestial Court here, that would be even better.
He wandered aimlessly, noticing that most cultivators enjoyed a Dao Mountain alone, as there were indeed countless Dao Mountains here.
These cultivators seemed wary of each other.
This was troublesome.
Gu An began to miss Bai Zi Ya from the Human Peak. When he first ventured to the Tian Wai, he met the enthusiastic Bai Zi Ya, who brought him to the Human Peak.
The latest chapter is now available on Li Jiu Ba Xiaoshuo!
Although the Human Peak didn't significantly aid his cultivation, it did help him better understand the world. This was why he never severed his karmic ties with the Human Peak; he cherished these bonds.
He continued to wander, waiting for an opportunity.
During this time, he also saw others entering the Endless Dao Mountain. Most figures had their own goals and flew swiftly.
Gu An spotted a figure who seemed as lost as he was, moving slowly and occasionally looking around.
He hesitated for a moment before cautiously flying over.
The other person was also a Kai Tian Da Luo Immortal. Perhaps it was because of his confidence that he dared to wander so freely; Gu An had seen a Tai Qing Jin Xian quickly hide within a Dao Mountain upon arrival.
This Kai Tian Da Luo Immortal had a slightly thin figure, resembling a Daoist with a sword-like whisk in his hand. Seeing Gu An flying towards him, he stopped and turned to look at Gu An.
"Fellow Daoist, may I ask if this is the Endless Dao Mountain?" Gu An asked, his voice slightly altered.
"Yes, this is indeed the Endless Dao Mountain. Is this your first time here?" The other person replied with a slightly cold tone.
"That's right. I've heard that the Endless Dao Mountain contains infinite truths of the Great Dao. My cultivation has hit a bottleneck, so I came to give it a try. The aura of the Great Dao here is indeed rich, even surpassing my imagination. But it's different from what I expected..."
Gu An feigned hesitation as he finished speaking.
"I didn't expect there to be so many people here, is that right?" The other person asked.
"Yes."
Gu An's tone carried a hint of astonishment.
The other person sighed, "The cultivators who come here are all great powers from various realms, which only proves the vastness of the Great Dao, beyond our imagination. Although I had some knowledge of the Endless Dao Mountain, I'm still new here, just like you, and I'm also overwhelmed."
Hong Ya Zi, a Da Luo Immortal from the Piaomiao Xianting, asked, "I don't know your name or which sect you're from, fellow Daoist?"
Piaomiao Xianting?
Gu An was surprised that the first Da Luo Immortal he encountered was from Piaomiao Xianting. He replied, "I'm Meng Lang. Ever since I reached the Jin Xian realm, my sect was destroyed, and I've been wandering without a sect."
Hong Ya Zi responded, "With your cultivation, establishing a sect shouldn't be difficult."
Gu An shook his head. "Forget it. Having a sect means having burdens. I prefer to pursue the Great Dao without constraints."
"That makes sense," Hong Ya Zi agreed. He seemed to think of something and fell silent.
Gu An pondered how to advance their relationship.
"Fellow Daoist Meng, since you're also new here, you probably don't know where to go next. Why don't you come with me to listen to a Zhen Xian's lecture?" Hong Ya Zi invited.
Gu An was flattered and hesitated, "Should I go with you? Is that appropriate?"
Hong Ya Zi replied, "Don't worry. I also have no connection with that Zhen Xian. His lectures are not private; anyone can go and listen."
"May I ask the name of that Zhen Xian?"
"He is revered as the Bai Shou Xian Zu, a highly respected immortal deity in the Celestial Court."
