Chapter 715: He Is Also My Master
Chapter 715: He Is Also My Master
Taishang Jue’s life was a spectacular and moving saga. In his final battles, he even became a symbol of resistance against the Celestial Authority in the hearts of countless beings.
Gu An could not interfere with Taishang Jue’s life, nor did he intend to. After all, Taishang Jue was his reincarnated self, and he had a guiding role in Taishang Jue’s current path. During the Lifespan Cycle, he could make choices for Taishang Jue.
Additionally, Gu An discovered that while the reincarnated selves in the Lifespan Cycle could not directly interact with each other, they could still intersect through karma. This led him to have more ideas about the Karma Great Dao.
The Lifespan Cycle originated from him, and all his reincarnated selves would not appear in his world. They could not meet or influence each other’s lives.
It seemed that the path of reincarnation also had different levels. Lower-level reincarnations followed a sequence over time, while higher-level reincarnations could transcend time.
The Supreme Heavenly Emperor also enjoyed reincarnation, but no one knew where he was.
Taishang Jue’s master, Reddust Dao Ancestor, had once said that the Heavenly Emperor was everywhere, at the beginning of reincarnation and at its end. He could even appear in different timelines simultaneously.
Could the Lifespan Cycle be akin to the Heavenly Emperor’s path of reincarnation?
Gu An had considered whether he might be connected to the Heavenly Emperor.
But this idea was quickly dismissed, as he felt he was overthinking it.
His Lifespan Cycle could not penetrate the Heavenly Court, indicating that Tian Dao Qiyun would isolate the Lifespan Cycle. Moreover, his reincarnated selves had been repeatedly exterminated by the Heavenly Court’s immortals, creating a deep-seated enmity.
Additionally, his reincarnated selves were destined to die, and their fates were all within his sight.
The sun sank toward the horizon, and Gu An, while reviewing Taishang Jue’s memories, felt his heart transforming into the Great Dao Sageheart.
During this process, his many Great Dao achievements were also improving.
The Lifespan Cycle was a gamble. If a reincarnated self died young, it would be a total loss. However, Taishang Jue lived a long life, and the benefits he provided to Gu An were immeasurable.
Of course, the Lifespan Cycle could also bring other karmic troubles. Although others could not directly trace him through his reincarnated selves, some karma still resonated with his heart.
As night fell, Gu An’s heart fully transformed into the Great Dao Sageheart.
In addition, he mastered many of Taishang Jue’s Tong Sheng techniques and Daoist arts.
He was Taishang Jue, and Taishang Jue was him!
The night was cool, and the moon reflected on the sea.
Gu An lowered his eyes and crushed the white jade in his hand, feeling the Dao Intent left by Taishang Jue. This Dao Intent would guide him to the sealing location of Reddust Dao Ancestor.
A little while later.
Gu An slowly stood up.
"Desolate Heaven Tomb, it’s time to settle this karma."
Gu An muttered to himself. His current cultivation level allowed him to pinpoint the location of the Desolate Heaven Tomb and sense the curse and malevolent forces within it.
Sin and Fairy Yaoyuan were both subjected to the backlash of the Great Dao Karma, forever barred from entering the realm of the Great Dao. The Desolate Heaven Tomb was a special area within the Great Dao, capable of containing Sin. The massive palace created by Taishang Jue could also protect Sin from torment.
This was the only thing Taishang Jue could do, as his cultivation was not yet sufficient to resist the Karma Great Dao.
Gu An was also not yet capable of doing so, but he could gradually see the Desolate Heaven Tomb more clearly. He had a premonition that once he reached a higher realm, he would be able to resolve the curse on Sin’s body and bring Sin to Nothingness to cultivate.
As for Fairy Yaoyuan, she was still lost in the Karma Great Dao, and Gu An believed he could track her down through her sins.
There was also Lu Qiuxian within the River of Destiny, and Gu An would find a way to help her escape the Destiny Great Dao.
These matters were not troublesome for Gu An, after all, they were remnants of his past lives, and through these past lives, he had grown stronger.
Next, he just needed to wait for his lifespan to reach a trillion years!
Gu An’s lips curled into a smile, and he vanished from the spot.
……
After the dissolution of the Dao Court, Under Heaven plunged into even greater chaos. The hundred great sects vied for territory and resources, and the people of Under Heaven gradually realized that the problem with Under Heaven was not the Dao Court.
The major sects of Under Heaven cared little for the thoughts of the masses. They saw an unprecedented opportunity and only wanted to compete, for who wouldn’t want to be the overlord of a unified Under Heaven?
Even the Heaven and Earth Sect became frenzied, and Yi Qingshan and his four companions gradually lost control over the sect.
A thousand years later.
The Mortal World remained in chaos, with constant battles and conflicts.
In a courtyard of the Heaven and Earth Sect, Yi Qingshan, Linuan, Cheng Meng, Gu Changsheng, and Gu Chengdao were entertaining An Xing.
These five had founded the Heaven and Earth Sect with their own hands and were now renowned great cultivators in Under Heaven, their demeanor and mindset matured. In contrast, An Xing appeared younger than them.
"We are truly getting old; the younger generation no longer listens to us", Cheng Meng said as he poured tea for An Xing, shaking his head in sigh.
The others echoed his sentiment. The entire Heaven and Earth Sect now desired expansion, and the righteousness of the path mattered far less than the resources for cultivation. With figures like Yuan Luo leading the charge, many were already pushing for them to relinquish their power, even demanding their positions.
An Xing spoke, "Throughout history, sects that have endured for eternity have all gone through such processes. This is both a test for the Heaven and Earth Sect and a test for you."
Gu An only allowed her to protect the Nine Spirits Continent, so she could not interfere.
She had watched Yi Qingshan and his four companions establish the Heaven and Earth Sect. Over more than a million years, generations of disciples had come to pay tribute to her, and through them, she could sense the growth of the Heaven and Earth Sect.
As for the fate of the Heaven and Earth Sect, she felt a sense of regret, but she would not alter it.
"I suppose it’s time for us to step down. When we founded the sect, it was to seek revenge and rebuild our homeland. Now that these goals have been achieved, it’s time to let go", Yi Qingshan said, his words met with agreement from the others.
They were truly tired and wanted to let go of everything to focus on cultivation.
An Xing did not argue; perhaps this was the best outcome.
Yi Qingshan hesitated for a moment, then looked at An Xing and asked, "Senior, we have always wanted to know about our Master's situation. Is he well?"
Back then, when they arrived here, they only knew that their Master, Gu An, was in seclusion. They assumed he was also under An Xing’s protection, just like them.
Over a million years, Gu An often visited the Heaven and Earth Sect, but they never encountered him.
They could never forget the Master who taught them cultivation in their youth. They no longer remembered his face, but they would never forget his figure.
An Xing put down her teacup and, under the expectant gazes of the five, said, "He is well."
These three words brought great joy to the five.
"In fact, he is also my Master. It has never been me protecting him; it has always been him protecting me. I can be considered your senior", An Xing said calmly.
These words left Yi Qingshan and the others stunned.
They had witnessed An Xing’s power, but they did not know how strong Gu An was. Back then, Gu An only revealed that he was at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
