Chapter 671: Taking Its Place
Chapter 671: Taking Its Place
Would the Three Thousand Great Worlds be destroyed?
Gu An was also taken aback by this statement. In his view, while the Xianshen were tyrannical and regarded the lives of mortals as nothing, they would still adhere to the so-called Heavenly Law. Even if they were to destroy the world, they would need a justifiable reason.
The Heavenly Court indeed had the power to wipe out the Three Thousand Great Worlds in one fell swoop, but wouldn't this be considered a violation of Heavenly Law?
Gu An suddenly felt that the so-called Heavenly Law was quite flexible. When it came to the supreme rulers, Heavenly Law was nothing more than a joke.
"What should we do, then?" the Celestial Spirit Deity asked Gu An, looking at him seriously.
The Vast World Guardian Deity had already started to seek a way out. For them, the Vast World represented divine authority. If the Vast World were to disappear, their status would be threatened, and their cultivation might even suffer a backlash.
The Celestial Deities regarded mortals as mere ants, but were the supreme beings of the Heavenly Court any different in their view of the Celestial Deities?
Gu An stopped walking and looked at the spirit beasts crouching in front of a street stall. He replied, "Go with the flow. Before anything happens, the only thing you can do is to focus on your cultivation."
The Celestial Spirit Deity could only accept this.
Thinking of Gu An's profound cultivation, he felt that when the calamity of the Imperial Struggle reached the Heavenly Spirit Grand World, his situation might not be as difficult as it seemed now.
Afterward, he continued to recount his observations from his recent travels. Gu An listened attentively, and their conversation remained private, even as they walked through the bustling streets.
After spending half a day touring the Heaven and Earth Sect, the Celestial Spirit Deity returned to the boundary gate.
Gu An, on the other hand, continued to wander around the city.
With the addition of twenty geniuses from the Invincible Emperor Clan, the Heaven and Earth Sect had undergone rapid development, experiencing unprecedented growth. The top genius, Yuan Luo, was also actively enhancing the sect's reputation, attracting more disciples.
As dusk fell, Gu An held a wine gourd in his hand. He stopped, drinking while watching the spectacle.
The disciples on the street were observing a heated argument between two young male disciples. One of them had once been a genius but had been crippled during his external training and was now being humiliated by the other disciple.
The other disciple was the descendant of an elder in the sect, so no one dared to intervene.
Gu An had no intention of getting involved. He watched the scene, feeling quite reflective.
For the disciples of the Heaven and Earth Sect, the sect was their entire world. For the rest of the world, the vastness of the universe was boundless, and they were unaware that the Vast World was as insignificant as dust in the eyes of certain beings.
Gu An pondered the path he intended to forge. What kind of rules would he need to establish?
He believed that in the mundane world, one could find their true self, as he himself had risen from the lowest ranks.
...
Time passed, and another four hundred years went by.
In a valley, Zhu Xi, dressed in black, stood on the surface of a lake. She held a long sword in her hand, the blade held horizontally in front of her, and her eyes were closed.
Gu An lay on the grass by the lakeside, holding the Seven-Star Mirror, observing the human realm of the Taiwei Great World.
The Divine Court Crown Prince was just one example. Many people in the world wanted to resist the Divine Court and that Xianshen. The Crown Prince had been persuaded by these people, who had already formed a coalition. However, their power was not as strong as the Divine Court, so they could only remain hidden.
Whenever someone was taken to become a Divine Disciple, these people would appear, attempting to recruit the siblings or descendants of the Divine Disciple, using their hatred to draw them in.
However...
Gu An saw the leader of this faction secretly kneel to the Lord of the Divine Court, all of it a calculated move.
The Divine Court's control over the Taiwei Great World was too deep. Overthrowing their rule would be incredibly difficult.
But as Gu An taught Zhu Xi cultivation, he saw a variable.
Zhu Xi would stand against the Divine Court. As long as she could deal with that Xianshen, she could replace the Divine Court.
Boom!
A vast sword intent swept across the lake, the raging wind stirring the flowers and grass, creating a sea of green around Gu An.
Gu An slowly sat up, tucking the Seven-Star Mirror into his chest. He looked toward Zhu Xi on the lake.
Zhu Xi still held her sword, her sword intent manifesting as countless silver stars floating on the lake, the scene beautiful and fantastical. Her clothes billowed, her long hair fluttered, and she exuded an ethereal grace.
"Finally entered the Dao, this speed truly lives up to her Sage Talent."
Gu An thought to himself. Zhu Xi's previous life was Sage Heaven, unmatched in the world, symbolizing the strongest Talent in a vast world.
The sword intent Zhu Xi comprehended was the Sage Heart Sword Path.
The Sage Heart Sword Path was created by his reincarnated form, Yang Xian, and was attached to the Sword Path River. It didn't require him to use his lifespan to enhance it, and it had been growing stronger on its own.
In addition to mastering the Sage Heart Sword Path, Gu An had used Dao Intent to aid Zhu Xi's cultivation over the years. She had also gained many insights and creative ideas, possibly leading to a different form of the Sage Heart Sword Path.
Zhu Xi opened her eyes, her gaze sharp, like two beams of sword light shooting out. She slowly raised her head.
She could already sense the Sage Heart Sword Path guiding her from an incredibly distant place. This feeling was subtle, and she could even borrow the power of the Sage Heart Sword Path.
She turned to look at Gu An in the distance, her figure flickering as she appeared before him. She bowed and said, "Senior, I have barely entered the Dao."
Gu An stood up, looking at her with a smile. "Since that's the case, it's time for us to part ways. Do you want to stay in the Taiwei Great World, or leave? I can help you one more time."
Zhu Xi was taken aback, not expecting Gu An to leave today. However, she didn't feel right about asking him to stay, so she replied, "I want to stay."
"Are you sure? There will be no one to help you afterward. This vast world is brewing a terrible calamity. Even if you cultivate for millions of years, it will be hard to turn things around", Gu An said seriously.
Zhu Xi took a deep breath. "I've already made up my mind. The spiritual energy and Dao in this vast world are stronger than those in the other vast worlds I've visited. Moreover, the ruling forces here have internal issues, providing me with room to grow. I want to stay, and perhaps I can achieve great things here."
Gu An smiled, saying no more as he turned to leave.
Zhu Xi watched his back, suddenly kneeling down. She gritted her teeth and said, "Thank you, Master, for your kindness. I have yet to repay you. One day, I will stand before you proudly, making you proud of me."
Gu An didn't stop, his figure vanishing.
Zhu Xi couldn't sense even a trace of Gu An's Qi, feeling an emptiness in her heart.
After so many years together, she finally recognized this Meng Lang as her Master from the Heavenly Spirit Grand World, Gu An, known as the Dao Sword Venerable.
But she couldn't tell if he had come for her or just happened to pass through this world.
She felt it was more likely the latter, which only reinforced the idea that this vast world was not simple.
"Xianshen..."
Zhu Xi's eyes flickered, her gaze revealing a hint of ambition, making her face appear stern and full of oppressive presence.
