Chapter 709: Under Heaven
Chapter 709: Under Heaven
In response to Li Xuemiao’s inquiry, Heaven Destroyer did not refuse. He began to recount the details of the Celestial Deity.
Although the Celestial Deity is the lowest rank in the Heavenly Court’s hierarchy, there are tens of thousands of types. The most common are the Celestial Deities who guard the world. Besides the Three Thousand Great Worlds, there are numerous cosmic planes that also have Celestial Deities as protectors.
Where there is protection, there is destruction. Heaven Destroyer belongs to the destruction faction of Celestial Deities, wielding the power of slaughter.
Above the Celestial Deity is the Star Lord, followed by the True Deity and the Xian Lord. The pinnacle of Heaven Destroyer’s faction is the God of Destruction, a True Deity.
After joining the ranks of the Grand Light Divine Venerable, Heaven Destroyer considered himself to have broken away from the God of Destruction’s faction and embarked on a new path.
Li Xuemiao had long known that the Grand Light Divine Venerable was not an ordinary being, but he never expected his status to be so high.
According to Heaven Destroyer, nine out of ten Celestial Deities never get the chance to face a Supreme Xian.
Heaven Destroyer was also very curious about Li Xuemiao. After explaining his understanding of the Heavenly Court’s hierarchy, he inquired about Li Xuemiao’s ascension experience.
Li Xuemiao, who had a good impression of Heaven Destroyer, did not hide anything.
Upon hearing that Li Xuemiao had passed the test of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Stone in the Freedom Immortal Realm, Heaven Destroyer was greatly impressed.
With Li Xuemiao’s talent, he might very well achieve the rank of Supreme Xian in the future!
The two of them talked more and more enthusiastically, and their relationship grew closer.
...
The friction between the Hundred Teachings and the Dao Court increased day by day. Each of the hundred sects was a dominant force in its own right. They joined forces to oppress the Dao Court, causing its prestige among the people of Under Heaven to decline. This also led to other weaker sects beginning to show disrespect to the Dao Court.
Ultimately, an unprecedented and unparalleled war in the Mortal World erupted.
The Hundred Teachings launched an offensive against the Dao Court within a mere decade, and over the years, more and more sects joined the fray.
The Dao Court was like an ancient celestial tree, on the verge of collapse, and all the creatures wanted a piece of its flesh.
The Heaven and Earth Sect was also drawn into the conflict. They ultimately forgave Yuan Luo, but only after imprisoning him for ten thousand years. Then, they joined the campaign against the Dao Court.
The enmity between the Heaven and Earth Sect and the Dao Court ran deep, primarily due to the conflicts between Yuan Luo and Zhao Ru. The friction between the two sides had been building for hundreds of thousands of years, and they were just waiting for the right moment to erupt.
The Dao Court, however, was a colossal entity that had dominated Heaven and Earth for a million years. Its reserves were so profound that even in the face of an assault from all of Under Heaven, it could still demonstrate remarkable resilience.
After a hundred thousand years.
The war in the Mortal World had still not ended. New Heavenly Tributes continued to emerge between Heaven and Earth, all eager to prove themselves on the ancient battlefield.
Inside the Wushi Dao Field.
Gu An was lecturing his disciples, including the third-generation disciples. Over the years, three more disciples had been added: Mo Xundi, taken in by Jiang Shi; Li Qing, taken in by Emperor Tian Hong; and Chang Jie, taken in by Heavenly White.
Of these three, only one came from the Heaven and Earth Sect, while the other two were mortals from the Nine Spirits Continent.
Gu An was sharing his insights into the Primordial Dao Emperor, and even the third-generation disciples found his teachings profoundly beneficial.
He wanted to make Nothingness a colossal entity on the path of the Primordial Emperor.
The Primordial Dao Emperor would eventually surpass the Great Dao Emperor. When that time comes, many sects would join, and no one would think to connect the Primordial Dao Emperor with Nothingness.
After Gu An finished his discourse, he allowed the disciples to ask questions one by one. The most enthusiastic were the third-generation disciples, who vied to ask their questions.
This time, Gu An was very patient with them. Although he usually showed little interest in his grand-disciples, when it came to cultivation, he was impartial. He answered each grand-disciple's question seriously and provided them with suitable cultivation paths.
"Great Grandmaster, the Primordial Dao Emperor relied on understanding nature, not on killing enemies. How do you view the calamities of the Mortal World?"
Mo Xundi suddenly asked, his eyes fixed on Gu An.
He looked to be in his early twenties, with a complexion that was not particularly fair. His brows were often furrowed, giving him a perpetually troubled expression.
He came from the Heaven and Earth Sect. His parents had died in the war with the Dao Court, and the seed of vengeance had been planted deep in his heart.
Upon hearing his question, Jiang Shi sighed but did not intervene. He, too, hoped that Gu An could guide Mo Xundi.
Gu An looked at Mo Xundi and said, "Natural disasters and human calamities have existed since ancient times. Both carry karma. Although I do not enjoy conflict, I do not detest it either. Everything you see is the result of the great Dao's rules. The catastrophe in the Mortal World is due to ambition, and many beings are caught in its wake, unable to control their fates. I know you want revenge, but perhaps before you succeed, your enemies will meet the same fate as your parents, dying in the war. You can have your hatred, but you must consider who exactly you should hate and what you will do after you hate them. These are the things you should think about."
Mo Xundi hesitated, wanting to say more but holding back.
Gu An continued, "The Primordial Dao Emperor can project into the myriad reincarnations. When you reach that level, you will experience the pain you are now enduring. When you get there, you can come back and ask me about your hatred."
One cannot leave the Nine Spirits Continent unless they reach the Free Spirit Immortal Realm. This was the rule Gu An set for the third-generation disciples, and no one could violate it.
Each disciple was informed of this rule before entering the Realm of Nothingness. However, they were so captivated by the vastness of the Realmvast that they did not realize how long it would take to reach the Freedom Immortal Realm.
Mo Xundi immediately thanked Gu An after hearing his words.
Although he harbored hatred, it was not directed at any specific individual. He detested the world's conflicts and believed that by cultivating under Gu An, he would find the answers he sought.
"Great Grandmaster, it's my turn. Can the Primordial Dao Emperor project my consciousness into the myriad reincarnations, such as if I wanted to spread my books?"
Shangguan Xianer raised her hand and asked, looking at Gu An with anticipation.
The other disciples did not think much of it. They knew Shangguan Xianer loved writing books but were unaware of the breadth of her interests.
Gu An remained unperturbed and said, "That's an interesting idea. If you can achieve it, you might carve out your own path. To inject your consciousness, you need to delve into karma, souls, and reincarnation. Simply comprehending one aspect of the Dao is not enough."
Time continued to pass.
The Q&A session only ended the following morning. Gu An stood up, preparing to take a walk.
Boom—
A deafening explosion erupted from the distance, causing the ground to tremble. The disciples, who were discussing the insights they had gained, immediately stood up and turned to look in the direction of the sound.
Gu An paid no attention and left on his own.
The third-generation disciples, however, gathered around their respective masters, asking about the source of the disturbance.
"The fires of war are about to reach the Nine Spirits Continent."
An Xing gazed at the horizon, muttering to himself.
This statement caused the third-generation disciples to pale. Was the Heaven and Earth Sect about to be attacked?
After leaving the courtyard, Gu An took a single step to the Realm Gate.
The Celestial Spirit Deity was already waiting there. Upon seeing Gu An appear, he immediately stood up and bowed.
Gu An sat down beside him and asked, "What did you find out on your trip to the Heavenly Court's lower realm?"
The Celestial Deity did not have the right to ascend the Heavenly Ascension Steps, but there was a plane below the Heavenly Court where many Xianshen descended to exchange information or conduct transactions.
