Chapter 703: Heavenly Court Yingtian Token
Chapter 703: Heavenly Court Yingtian Token
"Rise, I have come here for personal matters."
Eternal Deity spoke, and these words made Celestial Spirit Deity even more nervous. If it was for personal matters, it was likely to be for revenge.
"Do you know what Karma your son possesses?" Eternal Deity paused in front of Celestial Spirit Deity, his expression indifferent.
Celestial Spirit Deity looked up at him, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Is he the Reincarnated Son of Heaven?"
If the other party was asking this, they must already know the situation. Hiding the truth would only cause more trouble.
"You are correct. He is Celestial Emperor Xuanqing, and also my disciple. I entrusted Ziwei Immortal Emperor to conceal his Karma. The fact that it has been hidden for so long is already satisfactory."
Eternal Deity's response made Celestial Spirit Deity breathe a sigh of relief. It turned out to be Tianhao's past master. If that was the case, he should not be an enemy.
"I am known as Eternal Deity. I wish to see Fu Dao Jian Zun. Go and summon him for me. I will wait for him at the Realm Gate."
Eternal Deity spoke with an unyielding tone. Hearing the term "Divine Venerable", Celestial Spirit Deity's pupils suddenly constricted. His heart was filled with shock, never expecting a legendary figure to personally arrive.
He dared not object and immediately rose to find Gu An.
Eternal Deity waved his sleeve, and the surrounding mist dispersed, concealing his figure.
...
Nine Spirits Continent, Heaven and Earth Sect.
Gu An and Celestial Spirit Deity met in the city. They walked along the streets, chatting about Eternal Deity.
"In Heavenly Court, those who bear the title of Divine Venerable are all ancient legends. A Divine Venerable is an existence above Xian Lord. This is the first time I have seen one with my own eyes. He has come for Tianhao and claims he wants to see you", Celestial Spirit Deity said, his brows furrowed with worry.
Gu An could understand why Eternal Deity had come to see him, given their unbreakable Karma. But why did he want to see Gu An?
Tianhao had already left the Heavenly Spirit Grand World. If Eternal Deity still sought out Gu An, could it be to eliminate him?
Celestial Spirit Deity and Gu An had deep ties. He knew that if Gu An were to be exterminated, he would not be far behind.
Xian Shen were immortal outside of Heavenly Court, but within it, a high-ranking Xian Shen could be killed by removing their Heavenly Court Qi Yun.
Gu An's expression remained calm as he glanced around. He was not in a hurry to meet Eternal Deity.
He had already sensed Eternal Deity's presence when he arrived.
This person's cultivation was at the Early-stage Daoist Great Law Realm, far stronger than Solar Deity.
Both were Divine Venerables, but Solar Deity was only a Miaozhen Grand Luo Immortal, while Eternal Deity had reached the Daoji Grand Luo Immortal Realm. No wonder he could become the Celestial Emperor's master.
Gu An was not afraid of trouble. Eternal Deity had not shown any hostility or become his Karmic enemy.
Since the Life Span prediction had been upgraded, Gu An frequently encountered warnings of Cause and Effect Hatred. The number of beings destined to bear grudges against him had already exceeded a billion.
And this was without him actively seeking out challenges. It was hard to imagine how many enemies a cultivator who traveled through the realms would encounter in their lifetime.
"Sure, I will go and meet him later. Since you've come all this way, why don't you take a look at the new wonders of Heaven and Earth Sect?"
Gu An replied with a light laugh after hearing Celestial Spirit Deity's words.
Seeing Gu An's composure, Celestial Spirit Deity felt somewhat relieved. He admired Gu An's demeanor, knowing that it would take him a long time to achieve such poise.
Admiration aside, he could never fully immerse himself in leisure.
It wasn't until evening that Gu An followed the Celestial Spirit Deity to the Realm Gate.
Night fell.
Gu An returned to the Wushi Dao Field and walked into his courtyard. Inside, only Shen Zhen was seated in meditation before the Alchemy Cauldron.
Seeing Gu An return, Shen Zhen turned her head and noticed the golden token in his hand. Curiously, she asked, "What's that in your hand?"
Gu An walked to his recliner and sat down. Lying back, he raised the golden token in his right hand, as if wanting to admire it by the moonlight.
"This is the Heavenly Court Yingtian Token. With this token, one can join the ranks of the immortals", Gu An replied.
The Eternal Deity had come to him specifically to offer this opportunity, ostensibly as a reward for his care of Tianhao. However, Gu An was well aware that the Eternal Deity's true intention was to bind him more closely to Tianhao, making them allies in the same camp.
The Heavenly Court Yingtian Token could grant direct entry into the Heavenly Court, bypassing any trials, and the initial status would be higher than that of a Celestial Deity. When the Celestial Spirit Deity heard about the power of this token, she was stunned, her faith nearly crumbling.
Gu An could not bear to part with Tianhao, so he did not refuse this opportunity. Now, he was considering who to give it to.
Xuan Miao Zhenren was not an option; he needed to have a backup plan and not be entirely at the Eternal Deity's mercy.
He decided to choose one of his disciples to become an immortal, based on who had the strongest desire.
"Join the ranks of the immortals?" Shen Zhen was taken aback. She immediately stood up and squatted beside Gu An, curiously examining the Heavenly Court Yingtian Token.
She asked how he had obtained the token, and Gu An did not hide the truth from her.
Shen Zhen already knew about the Heavenly Court and Tianhao's background through Gu An. However, when she heard that Gu An had formed a bond with the immortals, she was still surprised.
Even though she had been by Gu An's side all along, she could not fathom the extent of his capabilities.
"Who do you think should receive this token?" Gu An asked casually.
Shen Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Do you remember your other disciple, Yang Jian? Yang Jian once wanted to follow An Hao. Now that An Hao has reincarnated and is on the path to becoming an immortal, why not let Yang Jian become an immortal as well, to continue following An Hao? I always feel there might be hidden dangers in having the training ground's disciples become immortals."
Having spent so many years at the Wushi Dao Field, she was well aware of the training ground's unique nature.
Moreover, she had delved deeply into the Path of Karma and understood its terrifying power. Therefore, she did not want anyone from the Wushi Dao Field to become an immortal.
Gu An glanced at Shen Zhen and smiled.
"Gu An, what is the Heavenly Court really like? How many immortals are there, and where are they?" Shen Zhen asked curiously.
Gu An shared all the information he had, and Shen Zhen listened with great interest.
"Even the immortals cannot escape the struggle for power. What does true transcendence really mean?"
Shen Zhen sincerely pondered, but Gu An did not answer. He, too, was contemplating the same question.
Is the Supreme Heavenly Emperor truly transcendent?
If so, why is there an Imperial Struggle? And with the boundless realms of the cosmos, there are still places beyond the reach of the Heavenly Dao, suggesting that even the Heavenly Dao is not the strongest.
That night, Gu An and Shen Zhen enjoyed the moon together, discussing their thoughts on transcendence.
The next morning, Gu An left the Wushi Dao Field with Shen Zhen and An Xing.
On the way, An Xing learned that Gu An intended to make Yang Jian an immortal, which led her to understand more about Gu An's interactions with the Eternal Deity. This only increased her curiosity about An Hao's status as a Celestial Emperor.
Yang Jian was still in the Taicang Dynasty, but he spent most of his time in seclusion, far from the imperial court. The First General of the Taicang Dynasty was Long Teng, whose presence allowed An Xing to focus on her cultivation.
Having reached the Free Spirit Immortal stage, he was now considering undergoing the Reincarnation Tribulation.
