Chapter 658: The Invincible Emperor
Chapter 658: The Invincible Emperor
Sixteen years later, the Heaven and Earth Sect encountered a major event. A sixteen-year-old disciple was exceptionally accepted as a disciple by the Sect Master, who intended to groom him as the next Sect Master. This decision was agreed upon by the four great elders, and rumors spread within the sect and even reached the outside world.
This youth was named Yuan Luo. He originally had a different name, but after his first attempt at Nasal Breathing cultivation, he changed it.
On his first try at Nasal Breathing, he successfully reached the Foundation Establishment stage, astonishing the guiding cultivator. The news quickly reached the upper echelons of the Heaven and Earth Sect.
After that, Yuan Luo took only a year to condense his Golden Dan, and by the age of sixteen, he had already attained the Yuanling Realm. His cultivation speed was astonishingly rapid.
"Master Yi Qing Shan and the others have discussed for several days and decided to cultivate Yuan Luo in the same way as they did with Tian Jiao. They are determined to nurture him into an unparalleled genius comparable to Zhao Rushen and Emperor Tian Hong. However, in my opinion, they are relying on the protection of Nothingness. Without Nothingness, such favoritism towards a disciple will only lead to an early demise."
Anxin stood beside Gu An and spoke while he was fishing at the edge of a lake. This lake was created by Vanilla Ghost Mother and was filled with many lively fish, specifically for his amusement.
"It doesn't matter. Whether we acknowledge it or not, the outside world considers Nothingness as the Heaven and Earth Sect's backer. And indeed, we have done many things," Gu An said, gazing at the lake's surface.
As his cultivation realm grew higher and he experienced more years, Gu An's mindset also underwent a transformation.
He became more focused on his own feelings.
Anxin curiously asked, "Master, what is Yuan Luo's background? With such exceptional talent, he must be a reincarnated mighty figure, right?"
"Indeed, in his previous life, he was known as Yanluo of Chaos. He wreaked havoc in numerous vast universes, and the previous catastrophe in the mortal world was caused by his power. He was likely captured by the deities and thrown into reincarnation, ending up in this situation." Gu An did not hide anything and briefly explained Yuan Luo's origins.
Anxin furrowed her brows and asked, "The deed of the deities? Is there a scheme behind this evil being's reincarnation within the Heaven and Earth Sect?"
Gu An glanced at her and smiled, "Yes, there might be some hidden scheme, but such schemes have never ceased. If you cannot see through it on your own, it means you are not strong enough yet."
Seeing that he could still smile, Anxin knew that everything was under his control. She couldn't help but ask, "Master, is there something you need me to do?"
"Let nature take its course."
Gu An didn't elaborate further, as he believed Anxin would understand his intentions.
After spending so many years together, the master and disciple had developed a high level of tacit understanding, and some things didn't need to be repeatedly explained.
Anxin stopped talking about Yuan Luo and shifted the topic to Emperor Tian Hong and Zhao Rushen.
"I heard that the Dao Court plans to cultivate Zhao Rushen to become a Great Dao Emperor. Master, didn't you say that a Great Dao Emperor must attain it on the Great Dao Path? Does this mean Zhao Rushen will be heading to the Great Dao Path next?"
Anxin was very interested in the Great Dao Emperor and wondered if a Great Dao Emperor of the same realm could rival her Divine Emperor's Eyebrow.
"He is going there, and he is destined to become a Great Dao Emperor," Gu An replied.
When the Great Dao Emperor was mentioned, his attention naturally shifted to the Great Dao Path, where he spied on Ji Xiaoyu and Xiao Lan.
After years of battles, Ji Xiaoyu's destiny had been fulfilled, and she was getting closer to becoming a Great Dao Emperor. Xiao Lan had also begun to initially step onto the Emperor's Path.
After joining the competition for the Great Dao Emperor, their cultivation grew rapidly, and they could become stronger through combat.
Xiao Lan had already reached the Shen Nian True Immortal Realm, catching up with Tian Hao, who was far away in the Piaomiao Immortal Court.
Ji Xiaoyu was even more impressive, as she was on the verge of breaking through to the Luotian Self-Liberation Realm. In terms of strength, she had already surpassed Yuan Songzi.
After years of fighting side by side, Yuan Songzi had successfully convinced Ji Xiaoyu to join the Dao Court. If she and Xiao Lan succeeded, the Dao Court would possess two Great Dao Emperors, giving them the confidence to compete with the Three Thousand Great Worlds beyond the Heavenly Spirit Grand World.
Gu An could hear Yuan Songzi's thoughts, and his excitement was far greater than what he showed on the surface.
At this moment, Ji Xiaoyu is cultivating in preparation for her upcoming battle. Her next opponent is an invincible genius from the Taiyu Empire, who has achieved a thousand victories at the same realm on the Great Dao Path.
The Invincible Emperor is one of the top five geniuses in the Taiyu Empire, with an extremely powerful momentum.
Gu An has already foreseen the outcome of this battle and is not surprised.
The original owner of the Divine Emperor's Eyebrow, the Heaven-Stealing Emperor, also came from the Taiyu Empire. He founded the Heavenly Immortal Sect and even attracted the pursuit of the Heavenly Court, which is enough to prove how terrifying his cultivation is.
The Taiyu Empire's foundation is far beyond that of the Vast Universe.
"Master, do you think our Wushi needs to cultivate a Great Dao Emperor?" Anxin asked expectantly.
Although Wushi is not a conventional sect in the secular sense, Anxin, as a member of Wushi, feels a strong sense of belonging.
"It depends on personal goals. I won't force anyone. The Great Dao Emperor is indeed powerful, but the path is extremely challenging," Gu An said softly.
With the memories of the Eternal Emperor, he knows how difficult the path to becoming a Great Dao Emperor is.
Looking at the disciples in the Dao Field, to be honest, he hasn't seen anyone with the potential to become a Great Dao Emperor, not even Xiao Lan outside, who relies on his secret protection.
If Xiao Lan were to venture out alone, she would have died long ago.
Moreover, he senses that if he continues to help Xiao Lan, no matter how many times she wins, she will never become a Great Dao Emperor.
The will of the Great Dao Path is unfathomable!
After hearing this, Anxin fell into deep thought, vaguely understanding Gu An's hidden meaning.
At this moment, Gu An's fishing rod moved, and he began to pull the rod with all his might, his arms trembling.
The latest chapter is available now!
Anxin couldn't help but laugh as she watched Gu An struggle like an ordinary person, thinking that her master was quite the actor.
...
In a bright hall, Ji Xiaoyu sat in meditation in front of a blue crystal, her silhouette reflected on its surface.
Yuan Songzi approached and stopped in front of Ji Xiaoyu, hesitating to speak.
With her eyes closed, Ji Xiaoyu asked, "If you have something to say, Court Master, just say it."
Yuan Songzi took a deep breath and said, "Give up. Your next opponent is invincible."
Hearing this, Ji Xiaoyu opened her eyes and looked at him steadily.
Yuan Songzi continued, "I've investigated. Not only has the Invincible Emperor achieved a thousand victories, but he has also swept through his contemporaries in the Taiyu Empire. A Great Dao Emperor fought him at the same realm and was defeated."
Defeating a Great Dao Emperor before even stepping onto the Emperor's Path is unimaginable, even if the Great Dao Emperor had suppressed cultivation.
Just thinking about it made Yuan Songzi shudder. Fearing that Ji Xiaoyu might still be skeptical, he added, "On the Great Dao Path, everyone believes that the Invincible Emperor is destined to become a Great Dao Emperor. It's unfortunate that the will of the Great Dao has matched you with him. Avoiding the battle may result in abandoning all previous efforts, but it will at least keep you alive."
The battle for the Great Dao Emperor is no joke; nine out of ten losers will die.
Over the years, many geniuses have fallen at the hands of Ji Xiaoyu.
Ji Xiaoyu remained calm and asked, "Court Master, have you ever considered that the path to becoming a Great Dao Emperor is so cruel? It's impossible to have it easy all the way. If I give up this time and encounter an opponent as strong as the Invincible Emperor the next time, what's the point of my journey on the Great Dao Path if I keep giving up?"
"If you want to gain the recognition of the Great Dao, you must defeat the opponent chosen by the Great Dao."
Yuan Songzi frowned at these words, finding them very reasonable. Perhaps he had underestimated the difficulty of becoming a Great Dao Emperor.
Thinking of Xiao Lan possibly facing an opponent like the Invincible Emperor, he suddenly felt lost.
Perhaps he had been too hasty. The current Dao Court might not be capable of nurturing a Great Dao Emperor.
Ji Xiaoyu looked at Yuan Songzi and smiled, saying with confidence, "Moreover, Court Master, how dare you say that I will definitely lose?"
