Chapter 677: Nothingness Third Generation, Qi Yun's Success
Chapter 677: Nothingness Third Generation, Qi Yun's Success
After Gu An agreed to An Xing's request to take disciples, she eagerly headed to the Heaven and Earth Sect.
However, An Xing's standards were exceedingly high, and she didn't find anyone in the Heaven and Earth Sect who met her expectations.
She wasn't in a rush, planning to wait for the right person over the long years. If she was going to take a disciple, it would be the strongest of the Nothingness third generation!
Although the Nothingness sect had yet to produce its third generation, the disciples were already eager and ready to compete.
The once-in-a-thousand-years sparring sessions were no longer enough for them, especially after Xueyu Great Saint and An Xing had taken a significant lead. The other disciples started to think of other ways to surpass them.
Not only was Gu An himself immensely powerful, but his ability to cultivate disciples was also well-known. Naturally, the disciples wanted to emulate him.
Upon hearing that An Xing had been allowed to take disciples, the other disciples in the training ground also approached Gu An, hoping to take disciples themselves.
Currently, apart from An Xing, only Heavenly Demon, Heavenly Azure, Heavenly White, Xueyu Great Saint, Tanhua Ghost Mother, Emperor Tian Hong, Shen Zhen, and Jiang Shi remained in the training ground.
Chen Chuan, Lv Xian, and An Shengtian had yet to return. They had established their own sects outside and could only occasionally come back to visit.
Gu An did not stop the disciples from competing. As long as it wasn't malicious, it provided some entertainment during the long, non-cultivation periods.
...
Time passed quickly, and another ten thousand years went by.
An Xing still hadn't taken any disciples because she hadn't found the right one. The other disciples weren't in a hurry either. They respected the rules in secret, recognizing that An Xing, as the eldest disciple, should have the eldest disciple among the third generation.
Moreover, they needed a standard. If someone took a disciple first, it would set a benchmark for the others.
There were countless geniuses in the world, and who could guarantee that their own disciple would be the strongest?
But if others had already taken disciples, they could make comparisons.
During these ten thousand years, Gu An had undergone six more Lifespan Projections, bringing his Great Dao achievement to an extremely high realm.
That year, after the Spring Festival, Gu An went alone to the Vast Path of the Great Dao.
The Vast Path of the Great Dao was boundless, not a physical plane but a vast expanse with countless branches, each containing different Great Dao rules.
The path he came to was one of the main branches of the Great Dao Path, where the Three Thousand Great Dao formed a vast sea of qi. Within this sea were numerous continents and Yun stars, devoid of life. Looking beyond the Great Dao Sea, the darkness made everything seem insignificant.
Gu An came here to open the Primordial Dao Emperor.
He floated in the void, above the Great Dao Qi Basin, and his Mind Eye could see unimaginably far.
He saw people searching for treasures, others trapped in Great Dao dilemmas, some fighting for the Dadao Emperor, and others facing parting and death.
It wasn't just humans and demons; there were many other races, some not even in the form of living beings, resembling souls or stars.
Seeing all things, even as a Grand Luo Immortal of Dao's Peak, Gu An felt the boundless creation.
Those who could enter the Great Dao Path had already become immortals, transcending the mundane. Each of them carried boundless karma, as if a whole world had condensed into a speck of dust on the Great Dao Path.
Gu An's gaze turned to the distant horizon.
The Three Thousand Great Worlds lay below the Great Dao Path, and the path connected to many mysterious planes, including the Primordial Emperor Domain, Piaomiao Xianting, and Spirit Mountain. Above the Great Dao Path was a chaotic expanse, indiscernible, but Gu An's divine sense could penetrate it, indicating that there were planes above, though he couldn't yet explore them.
Gu An retracted his gaze and began to create the Primordial Dao Emperor's Qi Yun.
Creating Qi Yun wouldn't cause much of a stir. For the Primordial Dao Emperor's Qi Yun to truly take root, it would need a long time to develop.
Rather than creating Qi Yun, it was more like creating a great path, allowing it to exist within the Great Dao Path until it was discovered by cultivators.
It's worth noting that Yang Xian's Sage Heart Sword Path was also a form of Qi Yun. The Sage Heart Sword Path existed alongside the Sword Path River, and cultivators could borrow its power. Wasn't this similar to the Dadao Emperor and the Primordial Dao Emperor?
The only issue was that Yang Xian's cultivation wasn't strong enough.
It must be said that Yang Xian's insight was truly terrifying. Without relying on Life Span evolution, he had managed to reach this point, and he didn't even have a Heavenly Spirit.
Before Gu An reached the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit Realm, it would have been very difficult for him to create such a sword path.
However, Yang Xian was Yang Xian, and if Yang Xian was powerful, then he was powerful too.
Gu An praised himself in his mind while he continued to create.
His Dao Intent formed streams of energy around him. Before he arrived, he had already constructed the structure of the Primordial Dao Emperor's Qi Yun. Now, only the final step was needed to bring it to life.
Soon, these streams of energy converged, forming a gray mist dotted with countless golden stars, still swirling around Gu An.
He raised his right hand and pointed in a direction, and the Primordial Dao Emperor's Qi Yun surged in that direction.
As it moved, the Qi Yun gradually took on colors, resembling a rainbow but quickly becoming even more vibrant and diverse.
Gu An watched it as it moved away.
When it finally merged into the Dadao Qi Yun and disappeared without a trace, he followed suit.
He didn't return directly to the Heavenly Spirit Grand World but instead traveled to other major worlds, even visiting the Primordial Emperor Domain and the Ethereal Immortal Pavilion. At each place, he cleansed his Karma and Qi.
After hundreds of such trips, he finally returned to the Heavenly Spirit Grand World.
It was still afternoon, with the sun shining brightly.
Gu An went to the Flower Gathering Sect to meet Jiang Qiong.
Upon receiving Gu An's message, Jiang Qiong immediately set aside all her affairs and came to see him, even arranging for Immortal Brew and Fare to be prepared.
The two met in a small pavilion on a mountaintop, with a vast sea of clouds outside, creating a scene that seemed like a heavenly paradise.
"Is something wrong?"
Gu An asked with a smile, knowing very well what Jiang Qiong was facing. He had chosen to call her directly to help her out of a difficult situation.
Jiang Qiong's smile faded, and she frowned, sighing, "It's still about the Great Dry Dynasty and the Dao Court. Taiqian has called on the Under Heaven sects and dynasties to divide the Dao Court's territory. Before Taiqian conquers the Dao Court, any territory gained by the sects can be theirs forever. If they wait until Taiqian conquers the Dao Court, Taiqian will seize all the Under Heaven territories. Our elders also want to get involved, but I don't think Taiqian will win."
"Why not?" Gu An asked.
Jiang Qiong rolled her eyes at Gu An and said irritably, "Because the Taicang Dynasty is still there. The Dao Court won't annex the Taicang Dynasty, but Taiqian will."
Gu An smiled helplessly, "I have long severed ties with the Taicang Dynasty. I won't meddle in the affairs of the world."
"Is that so?"
Jiang Qiong didn't believe him, and her thoughts made Gu An glare at her.
Gu An cleared his throat and said, "I have an opportunity for you. If you seize it, the Flower Gathering Sect might one day become as powerful as the Dao Court."
