Chapter 719: Beyond the Great World
Chapter 719: Beyond the Great World
The sun was setting, and on the slopes of a mountain, Gu An and Sin walked outside the forest, the slanting sunlight stretching their shadows long.
Sin followed behind Gu An, his eyes darting around, filled with curiosity. The flowers, trees, and all the scenery were things he had never seen in the Desolate Heaven Tomb.
He often glanced at Gu An, his eyes brimming with curiosity.
Although he didn't know Gu An, he felt a sense of familiarity from the moment he saw him. Of course, this was mainly because he hadn't yet formed a clear sense of right and wrong or a deep understanding of human nature.
As they walked, Gu An and Sin encountered Jiang Lan, a third-generation disciple, who was practicing his sword skills in the forest.
Jiang Lan noticed Gu An and immediately straightened up, bowing respectfully. Then, he saw Sin's figure.
"Another junior brother?" Jiang Lan thought to himself, carefully observing Sin. Although the boy looked young, his Qi was peculiar, making him seem extraordinary.
Indeed, anyone who could enter the Nothingness must be a genius. Of course, being a genius was a relative term. Outside the Nothingness, they were all considered prodigies, but within the Nothingness, talent was measured by different standards. Jiang Lan himself felt his talent was rather ordinary here.
Gu An nodded slightly at Jiang Lan, and as they passed him, he stopped and said, "He is your little uncle, named Sin."
Little uncle?
Jiang Lan was taken aback, feeling surprised.
The Great Grandmaster was actually taking disciples?
Gu An continued walking, and Jiang Lan, regaining his composure, hurriedly bowed to Sin, addressing him as little uncle.
Sin looked at Jiang Lan with curiosity, then darted to his side, poking Jiang Lan's arm and face with his fingers, making Jiang Lan feel quite uncomfortable.
"Sin, hurry up and catch up."
Gu An's voice floated over, and Sin quickly followed.
Jiang Lan turned around just in time to see Sin turn his head and make a funny face at him.
For some reason, Jiang Lan found Sin's expression both amusing and endearing. He even felt a sense of closeness and looked forward to the days ahead.
With an additional uncle, the Nothingness was bound to be lively for a while.
Jiang Lan sheathed his sword and silently followed behind.
Night fell.
All the disciples of the Nothingness gathered in Gu An's courtyard, making the yard seem crowded.
Everyone curiously observed Sin, even An Xing and Shen Zhen were surprised. They hadn't expected Gu An to take on disciples.
Sin, who didn't understand what nervousness or discomfort felt like, curiously scanned the crowd with his gaze.
"He is called Sin. I have taken him as my personal disciple. His background is unique; he comes from beyond the Three Thousand Great Worlds. Don't let his size fool you; in fact, he is older than all of you, but he has been trapped for a long time. From now on, you must teach him well."
Gu An introduced him with a smile, and these words only added to the disciples' astonishment.
Lv Xian was the first to ask, "Beyond the Three Thousand Great Worlds, what is that place?"
The third-generation disciples had also never heard of a place beyond the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
They knew the Great Grandmaster was powerful, but they had no idea just how powerful. Hearing this, they felt a mix of awe and admiration.
Not to mention beyond the Three Thousand Great Worlds, they hadn't even explored the entire Great World.
"That is an incredibly distant place. Even if you surpass the Free Spirit Immortal realm, you will not be able to reach it. However, if you diligently train, one day you will be able to go there yourself."
Gu An answered simply, without revealing the existence of the Desolate Heaven Tomb. After all, the Desolate Heaven Tomb contained the remains of a Mystic Qi Primal Immortal, and the karma involved was not simple.
The disciples began to chatter excitedly.
An Xing whispered to Gu An, "Master, don't worry. I'll take personal charge of him."
She knew Gu An was busy and couldn't constantly keep an eye on the disciples.
Of course, she also knew what Gu An was busy with, but she felt that Gu An deserved to enjoy it. To have become so powerful, he must have endured unimaginable hardships. Now that he was strong, he should enjoy his life.
"No problem. You focus on your cultivation. I'll take care of him personally, or I'll have the Ghost Mother of the Night-Blooming Cereus do it", Gu An said with a smile.
Zui had been trapped in the Desolate Heaven Tomb for so many years, and Gu An was determined to make up for it. He planned to take Zui everywhere, helping him form his own views and broaden his horizons.
As for having the Ghost Mother of the Night-Blooming Cereus take charge, Gu An had his own reasons. He wanted her to better integrate into Nothingness.
An Xing's mind began to wander after hearing this.
Could Zui be Master's son?
She turned to look at Zui but couldn't see any resemblance to Gu An.
Everyone could sense how much Gu An valued Zui, and given his mysterious background, everyone was filled with curiosity about him.
Zui was curious about everything, making the days in Nothingness lively.
Time flew by.
A century passed, and the Heaven and Earth Sect fell into internal strife. Yi Qing Shan abdicated the position of Jiao Zhu to Yuan Luo, and various factions began to vie for power, with hidden dangers lurking everywhere.
In the spring of that year, Gu An brought Zui to the Flower Gathering Sect to visit Jiang Qiong.
The Flower Gathering Sect had seized the opportunity and rapidly grown in strength. With Gu An's help, Jiang Qiong had achieved the rank of Free Spirit Immortal, a title that carried immense authority even in the current era.
Jiang Qiong watched Zui, who was running around outside the pavilion, full of curiosity.
Zui still looked like a young man, wearing white clothes, a red cloth around his waist, and his black hair tied high on his head. Despite his youth, he exuded confidence and vigor.
"Is he really your disciple? He seems more like your son."
Jiang Qiong turned to Gu An, puzzled.
Looking at Zui, she was reminded of her first meeting with Gu An. Although he had already grown up then, he seemed much more naive compared to now.
Gu An smiled, "What's the difference between a disciple and a son? After all, a day as a teacher is a lifetime as a father."
Jiang Qiong propped her chin on her hand, looking at Gu An playfully, and asked, "Do you want a real son? I can give you one."
Gu An laughed and shook his head, "We are both cultivation practitioners. Why do we need children?"
He truly believed this. His karmic ties were already numerous, and he had no desire to add more by having children.
Children were different from disciples. He could sever ties with a disciple, but with a biological child, how could he just cut ties?
With his current abilities and the Dao Court's resources in Nothingness, if he had children, they would likely grow up to be unruly tyrants.
Of course, the most important reason was that Gu An didn't particularly yearn for children.
"Master, I want to go out and play. Can I?" Zui stood on the wall and called out to Gu An.
Gu An replied, "Go ahead, but don't go too far."
Just as Jiang Qiong was about to say something, Zui vanished from the wall.
This speed surprised Jiang Qiong.
His technique far exceeded his realm!
This boy must have remarkable talent and insight.
Jiang Qiong said, "I was thinking of having someone take him around, but he seems to be in a hurry."
Gu An smiled, "Don't worry. He won't cause trouble. It's better he's gone; I can personally guide you in your cultivation."
Jiang Qiong's face lit up, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons. She smiled and asked, "Actually, I do have some questions I need your guidance on."
As she spoke, she placed her hand on Gu An's leg.
