Chapter 668: Taiwei Divine Court
Chapter 668: Taiwei Divine Court
Gu An didn't pay attention to the Deep Sea Dragon Carp; instead, he continued picking medicinal herbs.
He couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion within his heart.
As his disciples' cultivation time grew longer, their hearts also began to harbor wild ambitions.
This was normal, as cultivation was always driven by specific goals.
Gu An would never restrict his disciples for life.
After promising the Deep Sea Dragon Carp, its fate changed. In the distant future, it would unify the ocean Yaozu of the Tianling Great World, and it would even undergo Dragon Transformation, establishing the Dragon Palace. It would engage in a world-shaking war with the cultivation world on the continent, a battle that would alter the epoch.
Gu An witnessed these future scenes without considering them as bad omens.
Such struggles were the choices of heaven and earth, and if not the Deep Sea Dragon Carp, others would take on the task. He couldn't judge all conflicts as absolute evils.
It's worth mentioning that when that great calamity arrives, the Deep Sea Dragon Carp will face the Wushi Disciples, but both sides won't know each other.
Unaware that Gu An was peering into his future, the Deep Sea Dragon Carp followed him closely, sharing his recent cultivation doubts, which Gu An addressed one by one.
Gu An's nurturing of the Deep Sea Dragon Carp was no less than that of the Wushi Disciples. After all, the Deep Sea Dragon Carp was solely responsible for managing the medicinal garden in Qianling Palace, a significant contribution.
The Deep Sea Dragon Carp had reached the Wonderous Fairy Realm, while the disciples within the Wushi Dao Field had, at the very least, also attained the Wonderous Fairy Realm. Among them, Anxin and the Xueyu Great Saint had surpassed the Daoxu Fairy Realm and reached the Shen Nian True Immortal Realm.
Although their strength wasn't yet formidable, Gu An was satisfied with their growth rate.
After all, not everyone could achieve such rapid progress like him, and even with exceptional talent, cultivating required the accumulation of long years.
...
Under the majestic blue sky, amidst the continuous mountains, stood a colossal tree, towering over the surrounding majestic peaks. It wasn't the only tree of its kind.
Beneath one of these giant trees, thousands of cultivators gathered, and even with so many people, the diameter of the area they occupied was still narrower than the trunk of the tree.
Zhu Xi, the former master of the Divine Court of Tianling Great World and a Shengtian Reincarnated, stood among the crowd, listening to the speaker at the front.
"The Holy Court dominates, controlling the life and death of all living beings. Reincarnation is in their hands, and the land where the masses reside is divided by them. Those expelled by the Holy Court must leave the Taiwei Great World, but outside lies the Darkness Prohibited Zone, teeming with countless demons and ghosts, waiting to devour any living being that enters their domain. We, confined here, await only exile..."
Zhu Xi wore a blue and white Daoist robe, her hair casually tied, exuding the aura of a female swordsman from the rivers and lakes.
As she listened to the speaker, her thoughts wandered, and a bitter smile appeared on her face.
She had been wandering in another great world, and after awakening her divine soul, she had reached the Xuan Yuan Zi Zai Xian Realm. She had founded her own sect, but due to sectarian conflicts, she was targeted by the major sects of her home world, and during a chaotic battle, she shattered the void and fled into the chaotic stream of the Dao.
When she awoke again, she found herself in the Taiwei Great World. Just as she was about to explore this new world, a group of cultivators descended from the sky, declaring her an outsider and imprisoning her.
This small world was the Holy Court's detention center, holding countless lives, some with cultivation far surpassing hers, and many more.
She wandered aimlessly until someone approached her, asking if she wanted to escape.
Having traveled through numerous worlds, Zhu Xi knew that her fate was in her own hands, and she couldn't just sit and wait for death. So, she followed.
The surrounding thousands of cultivators had, at the very least, reached the Celestial Realm of Supreme Freedom, and the speaker's cultivation was unfathomably deep, reminding her of the enemies she faced during the battle that led to her departure from the Heavenly Spirit Grand World.
"Even if my master were here, their cultivation might not surpass his. Such a terrifying level of cultivation, yet suppressed by the Divine Court. How formidable must this Divine Court be?"
Zhu Xi's heart trembled, and when she thought of her master, a hint of melancholy surfaced.
After more than two hundred thousand years apart, she couldn't find the way back to the Heavenly Spirit Grand World. She even felt that she might never be able to return to the Grand World in this lifetime.
Only after leaving the Grand World did she realize how vast the Great Dao was.
For this very reason, her heart was filled with even greater ambition! She wanted to restore the Holy Court and make it a transcendent existence above the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
For now, she had to find a way to escape this place.
The more dangerous the situation, the more she felt that she had stumbled upon a great opportunity.
This Taiwei Great World must be hiding an unimaginable grand opportunity.
"Can you guess how high his cultivation is?"
A voice suddenly reached Zhu Xi's ears, causing her to turn her head.
Standing beside her was a handsome man, his face adorned with a smile, contrasting sharply with the solemn expressions of those around him.
"How high?" Zhu Xi asked.
The handsome man smiled and said, "He is a Primordial Golden Immortal, above the Celestial Realm of Supreme Freedom."
Zhu Xi's pupils widened. In the previous Great World, she had heard legends of Primordial Golden Immortals, but she never imagined she would encounter one in such a place.
The handsome man continued, "There are dozens of Primordial Golden Immortals here. Do you know the cultivation level of the Divine Court cultivator guarding this place?"
"What is their cultivation level?"
The man named Meng Lang smiled and said, "That person is a Heaven-Spanning Golden Immortal, above the Primordial Golden Immortal. He has a hundred Primordial Golden Immortals under his command, suppressing this place. But within the Divine Court, the Heaven-Spanning Golden Immortal is not the pinnacle."
His words caused Zhu Xi to furrow her brows tightly, and she couldn't help but feel despair.
With such a vast difference in cultivation, how could she possibly escape?
No matter how she looked at it, she felt that the group's upcoming actions were destined to fail.
Meng Lang turned to Zhu Xi and said with a hint of a smile, "I have a way to help you escape."
Zhu Xi furrowed her brows, her guard up as she asked, "We are strangers, so why would you help me?"
Meng Lang lifted the corners of his mouth and said, "You carry the karma of the Heavenly Court. It seems you have a connection to a certain Heavenly Court Immortal."
Zhu Xi's brows tightened further.
"Don't overthink it. I was planning to escape anyway. Seeing that you carry such karma, I might as well take you with me," Meng Lang shrugged, a carefree smile on his face.
Zhu Xi pondered for a moment and decided to test this man. She said, "My name is Zhu Xi. May I ask for your name?"
Meng Lang replied, "My name is Meng Lang."
Meng Lang?
What a common name. Zhu Xi had met many people with the same name in various places.
She looked around, confused, and asked, "Can't the others hear us talking?"
Meng Lang smiled and said, "Of course not. After all, we are conspiring to escape. Why would we publicize it?"
"How do you plan to do it? Are you also a Heaven-Spanning Golden Immortal?" Zhu Xi fixed her gaze on Meng Lang, asking earnestly.
Meng Lang shook his head and said, "The Heaven-Spanning Golden Immortal possesses supremely powerful abilities. I am not one of them."
Zhu Xi pressed further, "Then are you a Primordial Golden Immortal?"
