Chapter 684: The Most Leisurely Person
Chapter 684: The Most Leisurely Person
Fang Xuan traversed the Meteor Ocean, feeling the unique aura of the Primordial Dao Emperor's pursuers grow increasingly intense. This made his heart even more uneasy.
In the Great Dao Path, cultivators chasing the Dadao Emperor would fight on sight. He wondered if the same would be true for those pursuing the Primordial Dao Emperor?
Becoming a Primordial Dao Emperor did not require mutual slaughter, which was why he dared to come.
However, the Great Dao Path had no rules, and there were always those who would act recklessly. He could not guarantee that such interactions would not bring him trouble.
Regardless, he had already come.
Fang Xuan released his qi, hoping the other party would sense it.
"Do you also wish to become a Primordial Dao Emperor?"
A voice came from ahead, and it was none other than Xueyu Great Saint.
In the depths of the void, Xueyu Great Saint was meditating on Yun Star. He opened his eyes and looked in the direction Fang Xuan was flying.
His eyes showed appreciation, not only because Fang Xuan was a fellow cultivator but also because of Fang Xuan's attire, which suited his taste.
"I am Fang Xuan, and indeed, I wish to become a Primordial Dao Emperor. Fellow Daoist, you are the first of my kind I have encountered, and I hope I have not disturbed you."
Fang Xuan's voice carried a note of anticipation.
He did not immediately approach Xueyu Great Saint but kept a safe distance.
Xueyu Great Saint stood up, looking at Fang Xuan from afar, sizing him up.
"Fellow Daoist Fang, I truly wish to meet other fellow cultivators. Would you like to come over and chat?" Xueyu Great Saint replied, his tone warm, which relieved Fang Xuan.
Xueyu Great Saint had long wanted to converse with fellow cultivators, not for cultivation but to complete a task assigned by his master.
His journey to the Great Dao Path was not just for cultivation but also to gather information about the Dadao Emperor and the Primordial Dao Emperor.
Fang Xuan appeared before Xueyu Great Saint, raising his hand in greeting.
Xueyu Great Saint smiled, warmly grasping Fang Xuan's wrist and pulling him down to sit and talk.
Fang Xuan maintained a slight vigilance, but as their conversation deepened, he began to develop a liking for Xueyu Great Saint.
Xueyu Great Saint shared his insights openly and spoke with a boldness that did not involve probing Fang Xuan.
Fang Xuan, having lived through many schemes and deceptions, could tell that Xueyu Great Saint had no ulterior motives, only an endless curiosity about the Primordial Dao Emperor.
He too was curious about the Primordial Dao Emperor and felt he could get along well with Xueyu Great Saint.
After Xueyu Great Saint finished sharing his insights, Fang Xuan did not hold back either, starting to share his own. This also earned him Xueyu Great Saint's favor.
This person is quite decent, he can be trusted!
This was Xueyu Great Saint's feeling.
After so many years in the Great Dao Path, he had felt very lonely and had long wished to find someone to talk to.
The two felt an immediate connection, as if they had met too late.
When Xueyu Great Saint mentioned that he came from the Heavenly Spirit Grand World and was a disciple of the Eternal Sword Dao Venerable, Fang Xuan was greatly startled, leaving Xueyu Great Saint puzzled and asking what was wrong.
Fang Xuan hesitated for a moment but then revealed his background.
Upon hearing that Fang Xuan had once been a disciple of the War Court and had participated in the campaign against the Heavenly Spirit Grand World, ultimately being exterminated by the Fu Dao Jian Zun, Xueyu Great Saint could not help but laugh.
Just as Fang Xuan thought Xueyu Great Saint would mock him, the latter smiled and said, "The fact that you survived under my master's hand means you were not meant to die. To be honest, my master must have shown mercy. I must admit, I once had a similar experience."
Fang Xuan was surprised, not expecting Xueyu Great Saint to have a similar past. He immediately asked about it, and Xueyu Great Saint began to recount his story.
Learning that Xueyu Great Saint came from the mortal world, almost killed the disciples of Fu Dao Jian Zun after ascending, and was ultimately subdued and bestowed unprecedented opportunities by Fu Dao Jian Zun, Fang Xuan's respect for Fu Dao Jian Zun grew even more.
Let's not mince words. Back then, Fu Dao Jian Zun truly had the power to wipe out all life in the War Court.
This Fu Dao Jian Zun had a heart full of compassion, truly a great enlightened being.
He believed that Fu Dao Jian Zun's actions were out of consideration for the War Court disciples, many of whom were forced into their fates, just like himself. When his master gave an order, he had no choice but to obey.
After a heartfelt conversation, their relationship grew even stronger. Xueyu Great Saint proposed a blood brotherhood, and Fang Xuan was overjoyed. The two immediately knelt down and swore an oath to Fu Dao Jian Zun and the Great Dao, much to the amusement and bewilderment of Gu An, who was far away in the Wushi Dao Field.
Karma is truly fascinating.
While he couldn't predict how the Primordial Dao Emperor's story would unfold, he could foresee the future of Xueyu Great Saint and Fang Xuan.
These two would team up to traverse the Great Dao Path, even expanding their circle of sworn brothers. All these brothers would be Tian Jiao figures chasing after the Primordial Dao Emperor. Eventually, Xueyu Great Saint would bid farewell to his brothers and return to the Heavenly Spirit Grand World alone, while Fang Xuan and the others would continue to make a name for themselves on the Great Dao Path, with boundless prospects ahead.
...
A thousand years passed swiftly.
One day in early summer, Gu An was fishing in the training ground, holding a fishing rod in one hand and a book in the other. The book was a new one written by Xuan Tianyi.
Through his subtle manipulations, Xuan Tianyi stayed in the Heaven and Earth Sect, eagerly awaiting more books to appear before him. Little did he know that the books he wrote contained Dao Intent, which often led him to enlightenment and reinforced his resolve to stay longer.
Yes, just a bit longer, but he was destined to wander far and wide.
With this mindset, Xuan Tianyi looked forward to more works from the mysterious author.
Even if it took a hundred years for a new book, he considered it worth it!
As Gu An enjoyed his peaceful, meditative time, a figure appeared behind him.
"Grandmaster, Master won't let me leave, saying he's afraid I won't return if I go out. But I just want to go out and train, and I will come back eventually!"
An Zizai said with a pout. At a thousand years old, his temperament was still that of a young man, as he had yet to experience much of the world. He knew this and thus wanted to go out and train, just like the geniuses of the Heaven and Earth Sect.
Gu An, with his back to him, replied casually, "You underestimate the influence of the secular world. Once you go out, you might not come back. I can't decide this for you. If you want to leave, persuade your master. Actually, even if you don't return, I don't really care."
Though he didn't care about An Zizai, Gu An was very concerned about An Xing. He knew how much An Xing valued An Zizai, so he didn't want to interfere with An Zizai's life.
Hearing this, An Zizai couldn't help but glare at him, finding his grandmaster as unpleasant as ever.
An Zizai's eyes darted around, and he asked, "Grandmaster, what if I go to visit my uncles?"
Lv Xian and the others were far from the Nine Spirits Continent, and a round trip would be enough for him to train.
"Ask your master."
"Can't you just put in a good word for me?"
"Ask your master."
"You..."
No matter how An Zizai tried to persuade him, Gu An remained unmoved, leaving him feeling frustrated.
Just then, An Xing appeared beside him, scaring him so much that he quickly bowed.
An Xing frowned and said sternly, "Didn't I tell you not to disturb your grandmaster's cultivation unless it's important?"
"Is this even cultivation?"
An Zizai couldn't help but roll his eyes. Since he was old enough to understand, he had never seen Gu An cultivate. To him, the most idle person in the Nothingness was Gu An.
An Xing's eyes flashed with displeasure, and she scolded, "Kneel down and apologize!"
An Zizai felt like he was about to explode with frustration but chose to comply and kneel down.
Gu An turned around and smiled at An Zizai, making his eyes well up.
An Xing turned to look at Gu An and asked, "Master, can you predict whether he will return if he leaves?"
An Zizai felt a wave of despair, certain that Gu An wouldn't speak up for him.
"He will return, but he will go through many trials", Gu An replied casually, much to An Zizai's surprise.
Gu An didn't elaborate. He had predicted An Zizai's fate after leaving the training ground. The boy would indeed return, but not before facing numerous hardships and even taking on some missions.
Of course, these missions were all within the Heavenly Spirit Grand World and were nothing significant to Gu An. As long as the boy could handle them on his own, Gu An saw no need to intervene.
An Zizai was certainly not the last Wushi Disciple; new disciples would come in the future. Therefore, Gu An didn't consider him indispensable.
An Xing's eyes grew complex upon hearing Gu An's words. She understood the implications of her master's statement.
An Zizai would go through many trials, and these trials would undoubtedly be arduous.
