Chapter 673: Primordial Dao Emperor
Chapter 673: Primordial Dao Emperor
Seeing that Gu An didn’t seem to be joking, Xiao Lan felt confused, but she also had her pride and didn’t want to back down.
"Then let’s go!"
Xiao Lan raised her hand, beckoning to Gu An with a grandmaster’s demeanor.
The corner of Gu An’s mouth curved upward, and he took a light step forward. In an instant, the entire world changed. The sky grew dark, and the flowers and plants on the ground vanished, replaced by an endless wasteland beneath their feet.
This sudden change in the environment made Xiao Lan’s face pale. She looked around, feeling that everything around her wasn’t an illusion.
What’s going on?
She turned to look at Gu An, her eyes filled with caution. "Are you really my Big Brother Gu?"
Gu An smiled. "Lan’er, think carefully. Do you really know my origins? Since you were old enough to understand, I’ve been at Xiao Manor. Do you know who I was before I came here?"
"Who are you?"
As Xiao Lan listened to Gu An’s words, her unease faded. As long as Gu An was still Gu An, she wouldn’t be afraid.
Gu An took out the Azure Crane Sword, holding the scabbard. "Show me your full strength first."
A sharp light flashed in Xiao Lan’s eyes, and her figure blurred.
Boom—
Xiao Lan appeared in front of Gu An, gripping the White Spirit Sword. The tip of her sword was just ten centimeters from Gu An’s shoulder, and the ground beneath them shattered, sending countless rocks flying as if the heavens and earth couldn’t bear the pressure and were collapsing.
But that ten centimeters was a barrier Xiao Lan couldn’t overcome.
Her pupils dilated in shock at Gu An’s strength.
Gu An, holding the scabbard of the Azure Crane Sword, pushed forward, and Xiao Lan felt an overwhelming force like a tidal wave crushing down on her. She was thrown back uncontrollably, flying away like an arrow until she disappeared into the horizon.
Along the way, Xiao Lan shattered dozens of towering mountains, leaving a trail of dust that looked like a dragon. Countless rocks floated in the air, creating a spectacular sight.
Xiao Lan soon emerged from the rolling dust, looking unperturbed, with visible Qi Force swirling around her. She looked in Gu An’s direction, her eyes filled with fear.
In that moment, she had felt a terrifying sense of impending death.
The earth and mountains trembled violently, and a massive dust cloud rose in the distance. Amid the vast cloud, a figure was rapidly ascending—it was Gu An.
Xiao Lan could feel Gu An’s gaze. She didn’t have time to wonder why he was so powerful. She immediately raised her sword, and a surge of sword intent soared into the sky. Sword shadows appeared around her, multiplying rapidly and expanding their coverage.
In the blink of an eye, the sword shadows covered a vast area, countless in number. As Xiao Lan raised her sword, the sword shadows rose, like stars flying into the universe, their sword auras trailing behind them like tails, creating a magnificent sight.
Xiao Lan swung her sword at Gu An, and the sword shadows around her followed, releasing sword auras that shook the heavens and earth, unstoppable.
The ground trembled, and the sky split. In the presence of such overwhelming sword auras, everything seemed fragile.
Gu An didn’t use Tong Sheng. He flew straight toward Xiao Lan.
His speed suddenly increased!
Like a bolt of lightning, he tore through the sea of sword auras, the sky seemingly split in two.
Clang—
Xiao Lan’s White Spirit Sword blocked Gu An’s scabbard. In that instant, she felt her blood churn and a wave of discomfort.
She looked at Gu An, noticing his indifferent expression and the lack of any emotion in his eyes.
This expression deeply affected Xiao Lan. She leaped forward, disappearing from in front of Gu An and reappearing behind him.
Xiao Lan summoned seventy-two large banners, quickly surrounding Gu An. Almost instantly, the formation was completed, and a myriad of thunderbolts erupted, intertwining around Gu An.
Gu An slowly turned around. As the lightning was about to touch him, it vanished, creating an untouchable barrier around him.
Xiao Lan's expression changed slightly. She put away the White Spirit Sword into her storage bag and began to cast a spell with her hands. The lightning changed color, transforming into streaks of purple lightning, like dragons and snakes, madly attacking Gu An. The formation's glow intensified, illuminating the entire world.
"Is that all you've got?"
Gu An's voice echoed, causing Xiao Lan's fighting spirit to surge.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
The heavens and earth roared, the ground continuously shattered, and rocks flew into the sky. The dark sky began to distort, as if it could not bear the intensity of the battle.
An hour later.
In the ruins.
Xiao Lan knelt on a large rock, one hand gripping the White Spirit Sword, using it to support her body. Her hair was disheveled, her robe dirty and torn, and she looked utterly disheveled.
She struggled to lift her head and saw Gu An descending from the sky, hovering before her.
Compared to her, Gu An seemed as if he hadn't been in a battle at all. There wasn't a speck of dust on him, and his face was free of sweat or blood.
"How strong am I?" Gu An asked.
Xiao Lan pouted and said, "Very strong, I can't beat you."
After the initial shock, she felt a bit wronged. They had been so sweet a few days ago, but today he was so strict.
Gu An smiled and said, "If you can defeat me, you can achieve the rank of Da Dao Emperor. I can teach you cultivation."
Hearing this, Xiao Lan looked at him, struggling to stand up. "Have you been to the Great Dao Path?"
"Been there."
"Then why did you pretend to be so curious when I told you about the Great Dao Path?"
Xiao Lan said resentfully, feeling like she had been toyed with.
Gu An said, "I went there in my past life. Everyone has a past life, and you do too. If you wish, I can help you recover your past memories now."
Xiao Lan frowned and asked, "What realm are you in? Why do you hide your cultivation? And you... do you really care about me?"
She wanted to ask if Gu An truly cared for her, but she felt this question couldn't be asked out loud.
Gu An smiled and said, "I can't tell you about my realm yet. When you surpass me on your own, you'll know. I hide my cultivation to avoid trouble. I like peace and quiet, and you should know my nature. As for whether I truly care about you, you don't need to doubt it. When I went to Xiao Manor back then, it was for you."
Xiao Lan's frown deepened. She was no longer the innocent and naive girl she once was, but she still appeared innocent when facing Gu An.
"Is it because of my past life?" Xiao Lan asked.
Gu An nodded.
Xiao Lan fell silent.
Gu An, hearing her thoughts, consoled her, "Whether it's your past life or this one, you are still you. It's just that your memories are different. If I only cared about your past life, I would have restored your memories long ago."
Xiao Lan took a deep breath and asked, "Can you help me become a Da Dao Emperor?"
Gu An landed in front of her and replied, "Yes, but I can also guide you on another path, one that is no less prestigious than the Da Dao Emperor."
"What path?"
"Primordial Dao Emperor."
Xiao Lan's expression changed. She had never heard of this title, but the name alone suggested it was no small feat.
She couldn't help but ask, "Is the Primordial Dao Emperor also a Qi Yun Rank?"
Gu An smiled and said, "Yes, achieving the rank of Primordial Dao Emperor is different from the Di lu. It doesn't rely on battles but on enlightenment."
