Chapter 654: The Cup Falls, Calamity Disappears
Chapter 654: The Cup Falls, Calamity Disappears
Under the blue sky, amidst green mountains and flowing waters, birds chirped and flowers bloomed.
Li Ya and Li Xuan Yu sat in a small pavilion by a mountain stream, sipping tea and reminiscing about the past. As Li Ya narrated his experiences over the years, Li Xuan Yu appeared indifferent, but her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Compared to Li Ya, she felt much luckier.
To become stronger, Li Ya had to fight for opportunities, constantly engaging in battles, while she, within the Heaven and Earth Sect, had no shortage of cultivation resources and faced no bottlenecks in her training.
Regarding the absence of bottlenecks in her cultivation, she suspected that Gu An was secretly assisting her.
Before meeting Gu An, her comprehension abilities were not as remarkable.
After Li Ya finished recounting his legendary life, he raised his eyebrows and turned to Li Xuan Yu, asking, "Sister, what about you? How have these years been for you?"
He was unaware of Li Xuan Yu's inner thoughts, and he was quite proud of his own experiences. Although he was not listed as one of the Tian Jiao, his reputation was not low, and he had achieved all of it through his own hard work!
Li Xuan Yu did not hide her experiences. She began to narrate, mainly focusing on her rise in status within the Heaven and Earth Sect.
In the end, Li Xuan Yu sighed, "Compared to you, my life is too ordinary."
Li Ya listened intently at first, but as he continued to listen, he felt something was amiss.
With the help of a great power from the sect, she successfully crossed the tribulation and broke through to the Tian Di Fei Xian Realm.
Under the guidance of a celestial being, she attained the Xiaoyao Yuan Xian Realm.
When facing the tribulation of the Wonderful Law Immortal Realm, she nearly perished, but fortunately, the Nothingness Dao Treasure came to her aid.
Li Ya opened his mouth, wanting to ask if this was true. He was aware of Li Xuan Yu's talent, and even before they arrived on the Great Cang Continent, he had already surpassed her. For tens of millions of years, he had wandered the world, encountering numerous opportunities, and it was only after enduring countless hardships that he finally attained the Wonderful Law Immortal Realm.
Li Xuan Yu had faced the same difficulties during her tribulations, and each time she successfully crossed one, her body would be covered in scales and she would endure immense pain.
As for Li Xuan Yu?
Even though she was his elder sister, Li Ya couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.
Gu Shidi, are you trying to tell me that staying by your side offers a brighter future? Li Ya felt that Gu An was intentionally nurturing Li Xuan Yu. If he was just a fellow disciple, it would be impressive enough, but how could Li Xuan Yu have cultivated to her current realm without Gu An's guidance?
And so quickly, too!
Li Xuan Yu asked, "Why have you come here?"
Why?
Li Ya's heart suddenly felt stifled for no apparent reason.
He had a closer relationship with Gu An, yet now he felt more distant.
Li Ya replied, "Regarding this world, I've obtained some intelligence that I want to share with you... with the Fu Dao Jian Zun."
He almost addressed Gu An as his fellow disciple, but then he reconsidered. After all, Gu An was the Fu Dao Jian Zun, the one who had changed Li Xuan Yu's fate. He shouldn't be so disrespectful.
Moreover, more than ten million years had passed. Would Gu An still recognize him as his senior brother?
As Li Ya's cultivation level increased, his understanding of Gu An's power also grew, and he became increasingly reverent of the Fu Dao Jian Zun's strength.
No matter how much he improved, he was still an ordinary person in this world. He had encountered too many beings that made him look up in awe and reverence, and it was because of this that he often marveled at Gu An's power.
Just how powerful was he to ignore the entire Heavenly Spirit Great World and even rival the terrifying existence from beyond?
"Intelligence about the world?" Li Xuan Yu was surprised and was about to ask more.
Suddenly, a figure appeared beside the two of them. The newcomer lifted his robe and sat down directly.
Li Xuan Yu was stunned, gazing blankly at Gu An.
Li Ya, seeing Gu An suddenly sitting beside him, was equally shocked.
Gu An wore a white robe, with a newly forged Immortal King's Crown on his head. His entire being exuded an immortal aura, appearing otherworldly. Combined with his nearly perfect face, he seemed like a celestial star lord who had descended from the heavens.
"What's wrong? Am I not welcome here?"
Gu An smiled and then poured himself a cup of tea without waiting for a response.
Li Xuan Yu regained her senses and said, "How could we not welcome you? It's just that I didn't expect you to come out personally..."
Her gaze involuntarily turned to Li Ya. She had long known that Gu An cared about Li Ya, but she didn't expect that as soon as Li Ya arrived, Gu An would come to receive him in person.
Such deep affection!
She was filled with confusion. Logically, when Gu An met Li Ya, he was already an extraordinary and transcendent great power. Could their friendship have developed after just a few years of Li Ya's stay in the Mysterious Valley?
Or did Li Ya possess some hidden potential that she couldn't see?
Gu An took a sip of tea and chuckled, "Speak, what is this intelligence concerning the world that you must share with me?"
Li Ya snapped back to attention, his expression turning solemn. "This world is becoming increasingly chaotic. I originally thought it was just the Heavenly Dao's reincarnation, but then I met an old Daoist who was a servant of the Heavenly Dao. He encountered some kind of curse, and before he died, he told me that a force of resentment from beyond this world is infecting mortals, fueling their evil thoughts. If this force isn't eradicated, the chaos in the mortal realm will continue until the world is destroyed."
After hearing this, Li Xuan Yu's expression changed as well, and she instinctively looked at Gu An, wanting to know if the information Li Ya had mentioned was true.
She believed that Gu An could see through everything in the world.
Gu An glanced at Li Ya and smiled softly, "You also said that it's about nurturing evil thoughts in people's hearts, which indicates that there is resentment in the hearts of all living beings, isn't it?"
What Li Ya said was indeed true. The believers of the Heavenly Court and the Heavenly Dao, who preached in the mortal realm, had been cursed one after another. It was obvious that this mysterious power feared the Heavenly Court, but with so many Vast Universes being invaded by this power, how could the Heavenly Court be unaware? Gu An had already calculated the origin of this mysterious power, which came from the Chaos Resentful Luo, an evil being from beyond the Three Thousand Grand Worlds, and its cultivation was at the mid-stage of the Miao Zhen Da Luo Immortal realm.
After some deduction, Gu An realized that there were many more evil beings in Chaos similar to Chaos Resentful Luo, and that the edge of Chaos had the Heavenly Court's fortune. This indicated that the Heavenly Court had long been eyeing Chaos.
The fact that Chaos Resentful Luo could invade the Three Thousand Grand Worlds from Chaos seemed like a conspiracy no matter how one looked at it.
This conspiracy might have originated from the Xuan Su Immortal Lord, but how could he be the one to take the lead?
When the Heavenly Spirit Grand World truly reached the brink of life and death, he would take action.
The latest chapter of Liu Jiu Ba Xiaoshuo is now available!
He had saved this Vast Universe many times, and the lives he had saved would eventually face death. His actions only prolonged the lives of the mortals.
"Humans have seven emotions and six desires, and evil thoughts cannot be eradicated. But a power from beyond the heavens must be hiding an even greater disaster. Perhaps this power will absorb the evil thoughts of mortals to strengthen itself?" Li Ya frowned as he spoke.
Gu An gave him a sidelong glance and said impatiently, "It's not that exaggerated."
He had already seen through the reason why Chaos Resentful Luo released this mysterious power. It wasn't to absorb the power of the mortals, but as its resentment covered the world, the fortune of the Heavenly Dao would retreat. Once the fortune of the Heavenly Dao completely dissipated, Chaos Resentful Luo would descend.
Before his breakthrough, he had also thought that Chaos Resentful Luo invaded the Vast Universe to feed or strengthen itself. But now it seemed that the invaded Vast Universes were like a path.
Chaos Resentful Luo might be fleeing or heading towards a certain place, but there was too much fortune of the Heavenly Dao along the way, so he could only act in this manner.
He was like a refugee, too rushed to care about the insects he trampled on his way.
Li Xuan Yu spoke up, following his lead, "The tribulations of the world are endless. We can't always rely on the Sword Lord to take action. The bloody lessons will remain in history, reminding future generations and thus avoiding more disasters."
She was also contemplating the Dao of Cause and Effect, and her greatest realization was that as long as there was spiritual intelligence, conflict was inevitable. With more conflicts, disasters would eventually arise.
Moreover, she felt that when in the midst of a calamity, one should save oneself rather than seek help from a powerful existence beyond the rules.
Recently, there were undercurrents within the Heaven and Earth Sect, and the atmosphere within the sect became increasingly tense. However, the higher-ups did not want to seek help from Nothingness, as that would make them seem incompetent.
"But..."
Li Ya hesitated. He had originally thought that this matter wouldn't be difficult for Gu An, which was why he had come to seek his help. He hadn't expected Gu An to refuse.
Gu An gently pushed his teacup towards Li Ya and said, "Does Li Shixiong really want to end this chaos?"
Li Ya subconsciously picked up the teapot and poured tea for Gu An. He then asked, "What do you mean? Can I just wish for it?"
"It's rare for you to come to me. How can I not grant your wish?" Gu An said with a grand and lofty tone.
In front of others, he would pretend to be a wise and lofty figure, but in front of Li Ya, he wanted to show off.
Li Ya was overjoyed, but when he thought of Li Xuan Yu's words, he felt it was reasonable.
This calamity had ended, but what about the next one?
Did he have to come to Gu An every time? Li Ya furrowed his brows and hesitated, "By doing this, won't it consume your cultivation or bring you great trouble?"
Gu An picked up the teacup, finished drinking, and then shook the teacup in his hand towards Li Ya, saying, "This catastrophe is indeed unstoppable for the living beings in the world. But for me, it's as simple as putting down this teacup."
As his words fell, he gently put down the teacup.
He looked at Li Ya and smiled, "You see, it's done."
Li Ya was stunned.
A look of confusion also appeared in Li Xuan Yu's eyes.
Unbeknownst to them, the mysterious power that had shrouded the world suddenly vanished without a trace.
