Chapter 657: Yanluo's Reincarnation
Chapter 657: Yanluo's Reincarnation
Hong Ya Zi clearly held some resentment towards the Heavenly Court as well. When Gu An inquired, he opened up and began to speak without pause.
It turned out that while Piaomiao Xianting had a path to promote the Immortal Path, it also came at a significant cost. Every 10,000 years, they had to offer an enormous amount of resources to the Heavenly Court and even set up statues of the deities of the Heavenly Court in each Immortal Manor. Those who successfully ascended to the ranks of the Immortals, though they didn't sever ties with Piaomiao Xianting, became arrogant and treated them like slaves.
Through Hong Ya Zi, Gu An gained a deeper understanding of Piaomiao Xianting.
Although Piaomiao Xianting's destiny wasn't as powerful as the Heavenly Court, it was still an extremely formidable existence. Whether there were Daoji Da Luo Immortals within was uncertain, and he couldn't fully calculate it. The inability to calculate it meant there was a high possibility of such a presence.
The fact that it could nurture a Yong Sheng Emperor was enough to prove the profound depth of Piaomiao Xianting's foundation.
Hong Ya Zi had a good impression of Gu An, feeling like they were old friends, and even invited Gu An to visit him in Piaomiao Xianting. For this, he took out a token named the Hongyu Immortal Token.
With this token, Gu An could enter Piaomiao Xianting and was even bestowed the status of an Honored Guest.
Piaomiao Xianting had numerous immortal domains, and Hong Ya Zi was the lord of the Hongyu Immortal Manor, wielding significant influence within Piaomiao Xianting.
Gu An didn't hesitate and promised to visit him.
After that, the two parted ways.
Gu An was merely an incarnation, and he didn't plan to leave the Endless Dao Mountain just yet. Instead, he intended to find a suitable Dao Mountain to settle down.
He didn't need to return to his main body, as his main body could already access his memories and even control him directly.
At the same time, the Gu An in the Wushi Dao Field began contemplating whether he should visit Piaomiao Xianting to see Hong Ya Zi.
With his current cultivation, even if he encountered trouble in Piaomiao Xianting, he could easily retreat unscathed.
Forget it, there's no rush for this matter, and he had no urgent reason to go to Piaomiao Xianting.
First, he decided to raise his cultivation to the Great Perfect Realm of Daoji before considering it!
Gu An closed his eyes, lay on a rock, and basked in the sun, his thoughts drifting to the boundless Dao Principles.
...
Atop the majestic Golden Furnace Peak, Huangfeng Immortal Lord sat cross-legged in mid-air, his hands placed on his legs as he silently cultivated.
A golden light appeared behind him, manifesting a figure—none other than Tianzhen Shen.
Tianzhen Shen bowed and greeted, "Xian Jun, Yanluo of Chaos has gained considerable momentum. If we don't subdue him, it might cause a significant problem. With Heaven above, we must take action."
Huangfeng Immortal Lord, with his back to Tianzhen Shen, asked without even opening his eyes, "Has Yanluo of Chaos's power invaded the Heavenly Spirit Grand World?"
Tianzhen Shen frowned and replied, "Yes, but his power has vanished. I'm not sure if he retreated or if a powerful being intervened."
Over the years, Tianzhen Shen had been keeping a close eye on Yanluo of Chaos, and he was also quite surprised by the abnormalities in the Heavenly Spirit Grand World.
He didn't inquire with Tianling Shen, as he was aware of the Heavenly Spirit Grand World's past and felt that it harbored a significant cause and effect that he shouldn't meddle in. Hearing Huangfeng Immortal Lord mention the Heavenly Spirit Grand World made him even more vigilant.
He must not get entangled in the cause and effect of the Heavenly Spirit Grand World.
Upon hearing his words, Huangfeng Immortal Lord opened his eyes and looked down at the Furnace Inner World, his thoughts unknown.
After a long while, Huangfeng Immortal Lord spoke, "Let's start the operation. You take care of eliminating Yanluo of Chaos's power, and I will request even stronger Tian Dao power to capture Yanluo of Chaos."
Tianzhen Shen heaved a sigh of relief and immediately accepted the order, departing without delay.
After Tianzhen Shen left, the world fell into silence. Huangfeng Immortal Lord's eyes flickered, his mind weighing some unknown considerations.
Over the years, since the conclusion of the Listening Dao event at the Endless Dao Mountain, Gu An had not encountered any major incidents, and his days had become leisurely once more.
The dark clouds shrouding the world had dispersed, but the conflicts in the mortal realm persisted.
After Gu An eliminated the power of Yanluo of Chaos, the Qiankun Sect regained peace within a hundred years, getting back on track and even starting to send out disciples to save the world.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, ten thousand years had passed.
Seventeen-year-old Gu An had accumulated another 160 billion years of lifespan. As he had spent 80 billion years of lifespan to reach the middle stage of the Great Perfect Realm of Daoji from the initial stage, and this didn't even include the consumption of the Life Span Barrier, he planned to reach 200 billion years of lifespan before attempting the breakthrough to the later stage.
Before achieving the Great Perfect Realm of Daoji, he had no intention of challenging the 100 billion years of lifespan function.
This spring, as Gu An was writing in the courtyard, he suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with surprise.
Shen Zhen, who was playing the zither beside him, noticed his reaction and asked, "What is it? Did something happen to the Qiankun Sect?"
Gu An was looking in the direction of the Qiankun Sect.
The latest news, the smallest details, are all in the book bar!
"It's nothing," Gu An replied casually. "The Qiankun Sect will have a disciple with exceptional talent descend upon the world." He then turned his gaze back to his writing.
Shen Zhen's curiosity was piqued, and she asked further, "How does he compare to Emperor Tian Hong and Zhao Rushen?"
After ten thousand years, the conflicts in the mortal realm were nearing their end. The grudge between Emperor Tian Hong and Zhao Rushen was well-known throughout the world. As the strongest Tian Jiao of different eras, their incompatibility had everyone wondering who would have the last laugh.
"Perhaps even more so," Gu An said with a meaningful tone.
Emperor Tian Hong was a reincarnated Xian Shen, and the disciple he mentioned was the reincarnation of Yanluo of Chaos.
Yanluo of Chaos didn't seem to have reincarnated naturally; it was as if a powerful being had thrown him into the reincarnation cycle of the Heavenly Spirit Grand World, and it just so happened to be in the Qiankun Sect. This was definitely not a coincidence.
It seemed that behind Taiyi Immortal Lord or Xuanxu Immortal Lord, there was an even more powerful entity watching Gu An.
Despite the separation of Tian Dao Destiny, Gu An couldn't speculate much, but the other party didn't dare to act rashly against him before his breakthrough, and now that he had broken through, he was even less likely to be flustered.
"If so, the Qiankun Sect will finally rise," Shen Zhen remarked without much thought, expressing her sentiments.
The Qiankun Sect had been developing well, but its seniority was too short compared to sects with lineages spanning millions of years, tens of thousands of years, or even longer. In various aspects, they still had a long way to go.
If they could produce a disciple with even greater talent than Emperor Tian Hong and Zhao Rushen, perhaps they could narrow the gap.
After staying by the Qiankun Sect for over ten thousand years, Shen Zhen had also developed a sense of attachment to it. Disciples of Wushi who went to the Qiankun Sect were always treated as Honored Guests, and there had been no instances of disciples offending them. The higher-ups of the Qiankun Sect held Wushi in high regard and dared not be careless.
"The Qiankun Sect will rise sooner or later, it's just a matter of time. And they will also eventually fall," Gu An said while writing.
He had even given up on Tai Xuan School; it was impossible for him to protect the Qiankun Sect forever.
Shen Zhen didn't question Gu An's words; instead, she asked, "If Emperor Tian Hong returns, will you really take him as your disciple?"
"I don't like going back on my word," Gu An replied.
There weren't many secrets within the Wushi Dao Field; the field itself could be relocated or reestablished.
The fact that Emperor Tian Hong could kneel for so many years was proof of his character. What difference did it make if he was a reincarnated Xian Shen?
Perhaps Gu An could learn more about the Heavenly Court from Emperor Tian Hong.
