Chapter 686: Removing the Celestial Emperor
Chapter 686: Removing the Celestial Emperor
An Zizai was deeply shaken by Gu An's words. When he finally regained his composure, he began to seriously consider his ancestor's words.
Should he revive them?
He truly lacked the courage to claim he could protect others for their entire lives, let alone those old friends who had been dead for many years and were likely to have already reincarnated.
He remembered his master once saying that reincarnation was natural, and many powerful beings even relied on reincarnation to further their cultivation.
Knowing that his old friends had entered the cycle of reincarnation, he felt a sense of relief.
He had originally thought that their souls had dispersed, leaving no hope for reincarnation.
After much contemplation,
An Zizai looked at Gu An and replied, "Let it be. I don't want to interfere with their lives anymore, but I will work hard to cultivate and avenge them, fulfilling my own mission."
His closest brother had said on his deathbed that he might be the one to bring down the Beidou Sect, that he could become a savior.
To those people, the Beidou Sect was the most powerful existence, capable of covering the sky with one hand. An Zizai had also felt the Beidou Sect's strength, and he could not yet think of how to bring it down.
The Mortal World was vast, and the places he had visited were almost all under the control of the Beidou Sect. Even when encountering cultivators from the Heaven and Earth Sect, they were still wary of the Beidou Sect.
An Zizai had been indoctrinated from a young age to believe that his ancestor was the strongest, but after venturing out, this belief began to waver. Even knowing that his ancestor could reincarnate, he did not think that his ancestor could single-handedly turn the tide.
After hearing An Zizai's choice, Gu An did not say anything more. An Zizai bowed and then turned to leave.
An Zizai's aura attracted the attention of the disciples in the training ground. They all emerged from their seclusion to seek him out.
Gu An continued to fish, but his ears were eavesdropping on their conversation.
Upon learning of An Zizai's experiences, the Wushi Disciples were filled with righteous indignation. Heavenly Demon even wanted to go to the Beidou Sect, but was ultimately restrained by An Xing.
"Uncles, I will avenge this myself. I will cultivate diligently. I have seen the Mortal World, and I will not let you down again!"
An Zizai said earnestly. After talking with his ancestor and the other elders, his fighting spirit was reignited.
Though he had lost much, he was not without resources.
He not only needed to seek revenge but also protect Nothingness.
Emperor Tian Hong snorted, "What Beidou Sect? When you're ready to seek revenge, I'll go with you. Rest assured, the heads of our enemies will be yours to take."
An Zizai couldn't help but look at Emperor Tian Hong. Among all the uncles, Emperor Tian Hong was the one he most respected, as he rarely smiled and often just watched him without speaking.
Although Emperor Tian Hong didn't speak much to him, he had taught him the Fasha technique, and in his heart, he was also a family member.
Moreover, in his view, Emperor Tian Hong was likely the second strongest in Nothingness, second only to his ancestor. The aura of a powerful being that Emperor Tian Hong exuded filled him with admiration.
Hearing Emperor Tian Hong's bold words, An Zizai did not doubt them but felt a warm sense of reassurance, feeling very secure.
With such an elder by his side, the unease brought by the Beidou Sect gradually dissipated.
An Xing glanced at Emperor Tian Hong and said, "You should focus on your cultivation!"
Emperor Tian Hong averted his gaze and did not argue.
"Junior, tell us about the current state of the Mortal World", Heavenly Azure looked at An Zizai and asked curiously.
An Zizai nodded and began to describe the landscapes he had seen, including the Sword Sect founded by Chen Chuan.
The Wushi Disciples had also ventured out to train before, and comparing their memories with An Zizai's descriptions, they felt that the Mortal World had changed significantly. However, they were disappointed that they could not learn from An Zizai about the current top realms of cultivation in the Mortal World.
When An Zizai mentioned that the Ninth Heaven of Immortality was the Zizai Immortal Realm, his face was filled with longing, almost making everyone want to laugh. However, they held back and tacitly chose not to point it out.
...
Inside the Great Dao Qi Basin, the stars shone brightly. A beam of golden light swept across the Qi Sea, and countless figures were advancing on this beam. These figures were all clad in golden battle armor, their auras formidable.
Zhang Buku and Xu You walked among the Heavenly Army, blending in without standing out.
Their gazes were fixed on the towering figure leading the army.
The Heavenly Guardian!
The Heavenly Guardian was clad in heavy, majestic celestial armor, wielding a large blade. As he walked, divine manifestations floated around him.
"Is this another battle against the Chaos Demons?"
Zhang Buku whispered to Xu You beside him. The other heavenly soldiers were also discussing, their excitement palpable.
Those who could join the Heavenly Army were all heavenly prodigies and great powers from various realms. For them, battle only brought excitement.
In the midst of great battles, it was easiest to seize Qi Yun and accumulate merit. Their goal was to become Celestial Deities like the Heavenly Guardian.
Xu You replied, "Probably not. If it were the Chaos Demons, it would have been revealed by now. There hasn't been a single hint. Perhaps this time, it's not the will of the heavens but a personal matter of the Xianshen."
His gaze swept left and right, as if searching for someone.
"A personal matter of the Xianshen?" Zhang Buku was even more confused.
"Didn't you think the Xianshen act only for the benefit of all beings? They also have their own interests and conflicts", Xu You answered, his face calm.
Even without his beggar's appearance, he still seemed out of place in the heavenly soldier's armor, not as majestic as Zhang Buku.
"Why wouldn't it be a search for treasure? How can you be so sure it's an internal conflict among the Xianshen?" Zhang Buku pressed.
He had long realized that Xu You was not ordinary. In the Great Marsh World, Xu You had shown himself to be all-knowing. Now, in the Heavenly Army, Xu You continued to provide answers, leaving Zhang Buku full of questions.
However, based on their hundreds of thousands of years of life-and-death companionship, Zhang Buku trusted Xu You, believing that Xu You would not harm him.
"Because this is the Great Dao Path, a place where nothing can be predicted, and the Heavenly Court's Qi Yun cannot reach. Actions taken here will not be discovered by the Heavenly Court. Even if a Xianshen falls here, it would be difficult to trace the true culprit."
Xu You's words made Zhang Buku frown. The surrounding heavenly soldiers, upon hearing this, began to bombard Xu You with questions.
The two had been in the Heavenly Army for hundreds of thousands of years and had made many friends. Xu You answered freely, without hesitation.
The Heavenly Guardian at the front seemed not to notice, never turning back.
Time passed quickly.
The golden light stretched endlessly, and the Heavenly Army's march never ceased, as if it would never end.
After a long while.
A vast and overwhelming pressure came from ahead, enveloping the hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers, causing all of them to change color.
The Heavenly Guardian stopped, and as he did, all the heavenly soldiers followed suit, feeling the terrifying pressure from ahead. They stood ready, no longer daring to speak.
"Heavenly Guardian, do you truly intend to exterminate completely?"
A voice filled with murderous intent came from ahead, the tone full of hatred.
The Heavenly Guardian's face was expressionless as he said, "Choosing the wrong side and the wrong camp should lead to an irreversible fate. No matter where you run, it won't help. You should be grateful that it's me who has come, and not that Immortal Lord."
The mysterious voice followed, "Pathetic. Even daring to remove a Celestial Emperor, your end will be worse than that of the Yellow Wind Immortal Lord!"
