Chapter 666: The Unyielding Emperor Ancestor
The black-robed elder was the greatest supporter of the Unyielding Emperor, known as the Unyielding Emperor Ancestor. The Unyielding Emperor was a title passed down to each successor of the Unyielding Emperor Clan, and there had been many Unyielding Emperors in the clan's history.
To be given the title of Unyielding Emperor among one's peers almost guaranteed the path to becoming a Great Dao Emperor. The reason behind this was the Divine Emperor's Eyebrow, a power that the Unyielding Emperor could inherit from the Unyielding Emperor Ancestor.
Even the Unyielding Emperor Clan was unaware of the existence of the Divine Emperor's Eyebrow. The clan members only knew that the Unyielding Emperor possessed a forbidden power that must not be exposed. Even if it meant their bodies being crushed and their souls scattered, they would protect the Unyielding Emperor's secret.
The Unyielding Emperor Ancestor's Divine Emperor's Eyebrow did not involve greater karmic entanglements. He had merely witnessed the suppression of the Heaven-Stealing Immortal Sect and the Heaven-Stealing Emperor by the Heavenly Court, which made him dare not reveal the Divine Emperor's Eyebrow.
But the power of the Divine Emperor's Eyebrow was too great for him to give up. In the past, he had lost much, and in his despair, he cultivated the Unyielding Emperor Clan that shook the Taiyu Empire.
Now, he had reached the cultivation of a Miao Zhen Da Luo Immortal, his power reaching the heavens and shaking the earth. He hid behind the scenes, watching the rise and fall of the mortal world.
If it weren't for the Unyielding Emperor and the elite of the clan being exterminated, he wouldn't have taken action.
Gu An suddenly changed his mind after learning that the Unyielding Emperor Ancestor had no connection with the Heavenly Court and even feared it.
Of course, the main reason was that the Unyielding Emperor Ancestor only had a few billion years of lifespan left. By killing him, Gu An could gain a few hundred million years of lifespan.
For the current Gu An, a few hundred million years of lifespan wasn't that important. The Unyielding Emperor Ancestor might be able to bring him greater benefits.
Gu An threw the Unyielding Emperor Ancestor into his Cosmic Fruit Universe.
Great Luo Immortals could all create a universe in the depths of their souls. Some Great Luo Immortals focused on developing the power of their universes. Gu An had previously tried planting medicinal herbs in his Cosmic Fruit Universe but gained no lifespan from it, so he had no interest in developing his universe further.
To Gu An, the Cosmic Fruit Universe was more like a divine ability, used to seal enemies and store treasures.
The Unyielding Emperor Ancestor opened his eyes and subconsciously looked around. He realized he was in a dim universe.
Suddenly, he seemed to sense something and turned his head abruptly. He froze, his eyes widening, and his face showed disbelief.
In the darkness, a pair of golden-red eyes stared at him. In front of these eyes, the Unyielding Emperor Ancestor felt an urge to submit.
"Who... who are you?"
The Unyielding Emperor Ancestor asked, his voice trembling.
He could feel the power of the mysterious eyes before him, and it made him tremble with fear. He had never felt this way before, and it made him dread the eyes' owner.
"Before you die, I want to know who you are and if those eyes are the Divine Emperor's Eyebrow."
The Unyielding Emperor Ancestor spoke, his voice shaking.
Ever since the Heaven-Stealing Emperor's fall, he hadn't seen another pair of Divine Emperor's Eyebrows, which led him to make many speculations about Gu An's identity.
He even suspected that Gu An was the Heaven-Stealing Emperor himself!
"You're wrong. I have no connection with the Heaven-Stealing Emperor. My eyes are indeed the Divine Emperor's Eyebrow, and you should be able to sense that we share the same power. This has nothing to do with our cultivation."
Gu An's voice echoed, causing the Unyielding Emperor Ancestor to fall silent. He felt a strong sense of defeat.
"Do you resent the Heavenly Court?"
Gu An's question awakened the Unyielding Emperor Ancestor's ancient memories.
His Divine Emperor's Eyebrow suddenly revealed itself, and he gritted his teeth, "Indeed, at this point, I have nothing to hide. The Heavenly Court's Celestial Deities killed my wife and child. This grudge, I will never forget for eternity!"
The Unyielding Emperor was separated from him by an unknown number of generations, and he didn't hold much responsibility for the Unyielding Emperor.
But his wife and child were different; even though it had been a long time ago, he still couldn't suppress his hatred whenever he thought about them.
The Divine Emperor's Eyebrow of the Heaven-Stealing Emperor attracted the Heavenly Court's wariness. When the Celestial Deities descended, they were unable to capture the Heaven-Stealing Emperor. However, the victorious Heaven-Stealing Emperor, with his soaring fighting spirit, led the Heaven-Stealing Immortal Sect to actively confront the Heavenly Court, inviting their heavenly might to suppress him.
In that battle, the Primordial Emperor's Domain was affected, and countless innocent lives perished, including the Unyielding Emperor's wife and child.
The reason for his hatred was that his wife and child were not affected by the aftermath of the battle but were sacrificed to provide life force for an injured Celestial Deity. His entire city was offered up, and he happened to be outside, narrowly escaping death. But he witnessed the scene of his wife and child's souls being devoured by the Celestial Deity.
When Gu An searched for their souls, he couldn't see the Celestial Deities of the Heavenly Court clearly, but he could perceive the situation at that time; only the Celestial Deities appeared blurry.
The Celestial Deities of the Heavenly Court had always been plotting against him. Even though Celestial Spirit Deity proposed to cultivate virtue and ascend to immortality, Gu An couldn't see through them.
"Serve me as your master, and this cause and effect will be resolved. You and I both possess the Divine Emperor's Eyebrow, belonging to the same camp. At least, we will never be accepted by the Heavenly Court; we can only be suppressed."
Gu An's voice echoed, but the Unyielding Emperor Ancestor wasn't surprised. When he saw the other party's eyes, he knew that they couldn't be Celestial Deities of the Heavenly Court.
If he refused, he wouldn't just die; even the Emperor's clan might face extinction.
He had been cultivating for so many years and didn't want all his efforts to go to waste.
In his eyes, the Unyielding Emperor's clan was merely his weapon, a tool for his revenge against the Heavenly Court. But the weapon wasn't powerful enough, and he had to lie low.
Gu An was also aware of his hatred and plans for the Emperor's clan, which was why he could subdue him.
"I can make your Divine Emperor's Eyebrow even stronger."
Upon hearing Gu An's words, the Unyielding Emperor Ancestor's pupils suddenly constricted, and he immediately knelt down, saying in a deep voice, "I pay my respects to my master!"
...
Subduing the Unyielding Emperor Ancestor was just an interlude. Gu An assigned him some tasks and then let him go, continuing his peaceful days.
Ever since Yuan Song Zi returned, Zhao RUSHen had the ambition to challenge the Great Dao Emperor.
This plan had long been circulating within the Dao Court. In the past, Zhao RUSHen couldn't find a way to defeat Emperor Tian Hong. He felt that only by becoming the Great Dao Emperor could he completely shake off Emperor Tian Hong.
However, Yuan Song Zi didn't agree to take him to the Great Dao Path, which made Zhao RUSHen very dissatisfied.
Regarding Yuan Song Zi's claim that he wasn't prepared, Zhao RUSHen felt humiliated. If even a mortal woman like Xiao Lan could go, why couldn't he?
Occasionally, when Gu An accompanied Xiao Lan, he could see Zhao RUSHen's actions. This fellow was secretly colluding with the high-ranking officials of the Dao Court, and his heart harbored rebellious intentions.
In response, Gu An had no intention of intervening as long as it didn't involve Xiao Lan.
Time passed quickly under these circumstances, flowing much faster than before, and the era known as the Primordial Epoch was also approaching its end.
