Chapter 682: Wicked Grandmaster
Chapter 682: Wicked Grandmaster
"Free and easy, huh..."
An Xing murmured to herself, thinking of An Hao, her mood turning somber.
When she was a child, her parents were devoured by monsters. If not for An Hao's desperate protection, she would have died as well. In her heart, An Hao was like a real brother, even though they had only relied on each other for a few years before he left to pursue his own path. An Hao was like a majestic eagle, never stopping to rest, always spreading his wings to fly higher. He would continually take on missions, ultimately sacrificing himself for the sake of all living beings.
In this life, he was reborn as Tianhao, yet he still had to journey to the Ethereal Immortal Pavilion for the sake of the Heavenly Spirit Grand World.
After learning An Hao's fate, An Shengtian no longer harbored resentment towards their ancestor. Instead, he took An Hao as his goal, determined to surpass him and prove that the An family's descendants were not a burden to An Hao.
Young An Zizai didn't fully understand the meaning behind his name. When An Xing fell silent, he couldn't help but call out to Gu An, "I have a name, I don't want to be called An Zizai!"
Gu An smiled and asked, "Then what do you want to be called?"
"Mother calls me Xiaochun."
"You can keep that name. People don't have to have only one name."
Gu An's words eased An Zizai's tension. For some reason, being given a new name made him feel nervous, as if he were being sold.
At that moment, Shen Zhen, Heavenly Demon, and others arrived, curious about the talents of An Xing's new disciples.
An Zizai's talent was certainly not lacking, with a maximum lifespan of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years.
On the Nine Spirits Continent, orphans like him were not uncommon, especially when considering the span of hundreds of thousands of years. In the long expanse of time, such tragedies were countless, and An Xing never deliberately intervened unless the situation appeared before her.
An Zizai caught An Xing's attention because, in his moment of despair, he could actually invoke the rules of Heaven and Earth, despite having no cultivation at all.
However, a maximum lifespan of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years was not rare in the current Mortal World. Physical talent was no longer the most crucial factor; it was the intangible and ungraspable enlightenment that determined how far a cultivator could go.
An Zizai was very cute, and this quickly earned him the sympathy of the others.
Gu An didn't plan to teach An Zizai, using this as an opportunity to train An Xing's teaching skills.
An Zizai's arrival broke the silence of the training ground. The other disciples no longer secluded themselves in meditation but began to accompany An Zizai as he grew.
This was the first third-generation disciple of Nothingness. Even though the disciples had a competitive spirit in teaching, they all hoped that An Zizai would excel.
Thus, they took turns teaching him.
Over the next ten years, the Wushi Dao Field was bustling with activity. Despite being an orphan, An Zizai was not reclusive. In fact, he was quite lively, often causing chaos in the training ground.
By the age of seventeen, An Zizai had already formed his Nascent Soul, his talent outstanding, giving all the Nothingness disciples confidence and high hopes for him.
In the summer, Gu An was reading a book under a large tree by the mountain stream, enjoying the cool breeze.
A figure appeared out of nowhere beneath the tree, looking up at him.
It was An Zizai.
He wore a blue and white fitted robe, his long hair tied back loosely with a strip of cloth. His handsome face still carried a hint of youth.
"Hey, Grandmaster, why are you reading again? What book is so good?"
An Zizai called out. His divine sense couldn't get close to Gu An, so he didn't know what Gu An was reading.
From childhood, although Gu An had never taught him cultivation, he knew from everyone else that his grandmaster was the most powerful person in the world.
However, Gu An liked to tease him. When he was young, Gu An would often suddenly pull down his pants, making him look foolish in front of everyone. This led to An Zizai not being particularly respectful or reverent towards Gu An, and even harboring some resentment.
In his heart, this grandmaster was too cruel. Whenever his uncles praised him, the grandmaster would always criticize him, pointing out his flaws. The worst part was that these flaws were real, leaving him feeling frustrated and stifled.
"This is a book for adults. Don't ask."
Gu An replied casually. Although he didn't teach An Zizai, he quite liked the boy. An Zizai's arrival indeed made the training ground more lively and his life more interesting.
Sometimes, Gu An had to admit his age.
Old people tend to love children, but he wasn't always like that.
After hearing this, An Zizai became even more curious about the book in Gu An's hands, but he was quite annoyed by Gu An's words. He was clearly already grown up.
"Master asked me to tell you that the Heaven and Earth Sect's Tian Jiao Dueling Competition is about to begin. He asked if you want to go together?"
An Zizai continued, his curiosity piqued. Ever since coming to the Wushi Dao Field, he hadn't ventured out and was curious about everything in the outside world.
"I will go, but not with you."
"Tch."
An Zizai pouted, waved his fist at Gu An, and then disappeared on the spot, eager to head to the Heaven and Earth Sect.
Gu An paid no attention to his little antics and continued reading, his mind focused on the Great Dao Path.
Xueyu Great Saint had successfully undergone Reincarnation Projection, marking the beginning of the Primordial Dao Emperor's path.
Now, over a thousand beings had embarked on the Primordial Emperor Path. Although no one had yet achieved the rank of Primordial Dao Emperor, many forces were already investigating the Primordial Dao Emperor.
Even the Heavenly Court!
Gu An saw a Celestial Deity investigating the Primordial Dao Emperor and engaging in conversation with one of the Primordial Dao Emperor's contenders.
This Celestial Deity seemed familiar to him. Although the Heavenly Court's Qi Yun could shield against divination, Gu An recognized that the Celestial Deity bore a striking resemblance to Long Xin.
He had a vague suspicion.
Even if this Celestial Deity had no connection to the Long family, Gu An wouldn't deliberately suppress them.
When he was establishing the Primordial Dao Emperor, he had anticipated the current situation.
He wasn't worried that anyone could trace him through the Primordial Dao Emperor's Qi Yun. The Primordial Dao Emperor's Qi Yun had already been established, akin to a Great Dao. The Great Dao is boundless; who could fathom its origins?
Fang Xuan was growing well on the Primordial Emperor Path. After multiple Reincarnation Projections, his understanding of the Great Dao far surpassed those of his realm.
If he were to fight others of the same realm on the Di Lu, Gu An believed he wouldn't lose.
This indicated that the Primordial Dao Emperor indeed had potential that rivaled the Dadao Emperor.
After observing for an hour, Gu An turned and walked down, tucking the Chronicles of the Green Hero into his chest, then headed toward the Heaven and Earth Sect.
He wasn't going to watch the Tian Jiao Dueling Competition but to meet an old friend who had come to the Heaven and Earth Sect.
This old friend was none other than Xuan Tianyi, the author of the Chronicles of the Green Hero.
Xuan Tianyi had traveled Under Heaven for hundreds of thousands of years and was visiting the Heaven and Earth Sect for the first time. He had no specific purpose, just happening to be there.
Gu An looked forward to meeting him.
They hadn't seen each other in hundreds of thousands of years. Gu An had always bought the Chronicles of the Green Hero in the Mortal World, not from Xuan Tianyi himself.
Meanwhile.
Xuan Tianyi was wandering through the bustling main city of the Heaven and Earth Sect. He had visited many such prosperous sects before, walking through the crowds and observing the sect's atmosphere, seeking inspiration.
"The Heaven and Earth Sect is indeed extraordinary. Not only is it rich in heritage, but I haven't encountered a single instance of bullying or coercion on my journey here. It truly lives up to its reputation as the foremost righteous sect in this domain."
Xuan Tianyi mused to himself, thinking of the Grand Mystery Sect.
Since Gu An's departure, he hadn't returned either, wondering if the Grand Mystery Sect now possessed such a righteous atmosphere?
