Chapter 724: The Fall of a Xianshen
Chapter 724: The Fall of a Xianshen
After hearing her master's words, An Xing found them reasonable and instantly relaxed.
Indeed, why should she fear the power of the Primordial Dao Emperor or doubt the Emperor Eye?
As long as she became the Primordial Dao Emperor, the Xueyu Great Saint would stand no chance against her.
"Master, are you really not going to teach the other disciples how to cultivate the Emperor Eye?" An Xing asked curiously. She wasn't worried about the other disciples mastering it; she just thought that if all the Nothingness disciples could grasp such power, the future of Nothingness would be even more promising.
Gu An replied, "The Emperor Eye brings significant trouble and isn't suitable for everyone to cultivate."
He had many disciples, and there was no need for each of them to master all his Dao techniques, especially since the Emperor Eye wasn't something that could be cultivated just by wanting to.
He had only passed it on to An Xing to see if she could grasp it, and it turned out she was quite insightful when it came to the Emperor Eye.
Seeing that Gu An had made up his mind, An Xing no longer dwelled on the issue. She asked a few more questions about the Primordial Dao Emperor, and after receiving satisfactory answers, she left contentedly.
Gu An continued to wander through the herb garden. Even without anyone watching, he acted as if he were being observed, making it a habit.
The Nothingness Dao Ground had become lively after the sin, and now that the Xueyu Great Saint had returned, the days were chaotic.
The third-generation disciples were all curious about the Xueyu Great Saint's experiences, and he was eager to share them. As a result, he and the third-generation disciples quickly bonded.
Spring came and went, and autumn arrived again.
Five hundred years passed swiftly.
On this day.
In a inn belonging to the Heaven and Earth Sect, Gu An and the Unyielding Emperor Ancestor were drinking together. He planned to have the Unyielding Emperor Ancestor take the twenty Tian Jiao from the Unyielding Imperial Clan back with him.
He had called them to help the Heaven and Earth Sect establish itself, but now that the sect was nearing its end, they were no longer needed.
The Unyielding Emperor Ancestor asked, "Master, why not let them stay and establish their own sects? If you need them in the future, you can command them at any time."
Gu An smiled and asked, "Hasn't your Unyielding Imperial Clan been facing troubles lately? Don't you need their strength?"
The Unyielding Emperor Ancestor was inwardly startled. Gu An, even while in the Heavenly Spirit Grand World, could see the situation in the Primordial Emperor Domain.
"Master, you jest. If the Unyielding Imperial Clan needs the strength of these juniors to overcome its difficulties, it would be unworthy of its name", the Unyielding Emperor Ancestor said with a shake of his head and a smile.
Gu An understood the Unyielding Emperor Ancestor's thoughts. This arrangement would help build a closer relationship and leave a seed behind.
The Unyielding Imperial Clan had left its bloodline in the Three Thousand Great Worlds as a precaution.
Gu An thought for a moment and said, "Very well, let them stay in the Heavenly Spirit Grand World. They can develop their own sects and even vie for power, but if they commit heinous deeds and threaten the grand world itself, I will not allow them to act as they please."
The Unyielding Emperor Ancestor's face lit up with joy, and he immediately raised his wine cup to thank Gu An.
Gu An turned to look out the window at the street below. The Heaven and Earth Sect disciples were hurrying about, maintaining a distance from each other. At a glance, the entire street had lost its former bustling atmosphere and was now filled with a tense, uneasy mood.
The Unyielding Emperor Ancestor followed his gaze and sighed, "Rise and fall, birth and rebirth—our branch of the Di clan has experienced this, even nearing extinction several times."
Gu An chuckled softly, "Indeed, all is rebirth. By the time you come again, you won't see the same scene."
Unyielding Emperor Ancestor listened thoughtfully, sensing that Gu An's words held deeper meaning.
Gu An continued to drink with him, sharing information about the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
Regarding the Emperor's Contention, Gu An had already given Unyielding Emperor Ancestor a heads-up, and the latter had been keeping an eye on it for years.
The Primordial Emperor Domain did not belong to the Three Thousand Great Worlds, but Immortal Deities often descended into the Imperial Domain. Through his network of contacts, Unyielding Emperor Ancestor confirmed that there was indeed an Emperor's Contention.
The identities of the two Celestial Emperors involved were still unknown, but the Unyielding Imperial Clan knew which planes and sects were participating.
Even though it was a maelstrom of intrigue that would eventually be judged by Heaven, some still chose to step into the fray.
Gu An listened patiently, his curiosity piqued. Involving the Heavenly Court, he couldn't fully predict the outcomes, but he could already foresee the chaos that would engulf the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
The disaster would bring out many powerful beings lurking in the shadows, and even some Immortal Deities would fall.
The moment he could see the fall of an Immortal Deity, it meant he had the ability to glimpse the Karma of the Heavenly Court. As his cultivation grew stronger, the mysteries of the Heavenly Court would gradually be unveiled to him.
They talked for a long time, until dusk, when Unyielding Emperor Ancestor finally bid farewell. He needed to inform the twenty younger members of his clan.
Gu An, meanwhile, strolled leisurely down the street.
As he walked, he encountered someone—Li Xuanyu, Li Ya's sister.
Li Xuanyu had stayed near the Heaven and Earth Sect ever since she learned Gu An was in the vicinity. She had since become a high-ranking member of the sect.
Their meeting on the street was no coincidence; Gu An had foreseen that she would pass this way.
Li Xuanyu wasn't surprised to see him. Over the long years, they had often met by chance, but each time, Gu An would offer her opportunities or guidance. Eventually, she realized these "coincidences" were deliberate.
"Are you going to reveal the future of the Heaven and Earth Sect to me?" Li Xuanyu asked curiously as she approached Gu An.
In recent centuries, the open and hidden struggles within the Heaven and Earth Sect had intensified. Yuan Luo's domineering actions had offended many, and while some rose in rank, others fell. Once it was confirmed that Yuan Luo had no connection to Nothingness, the opposition began to unite.
Li Xuanyu had seen the signs of internal strife, but she remained calm, knowing that Nothingness was nearby. Just like in the Grand Mystery Sect, no matter what storms they faced, Fu Dao Jian Zun would always step forward to calm the chaos and stabilize the situation.
"The Heaven and Earth Sect will soon disband. Are you planning to return to the Taicang Dynasty, or join Nothingness? Of course, you have other options as well. It's best to prepare in advance."
Gu An spoke, and he and Li Xuanyu had always had a good rapport. Back when he wasn't as strong, Li Xuanyu had introduced him to people who needed help managing their caves, providing him with more channels to extend his lifespan. These favors, though perhaps forgotten by Li Xuanyu, were etched in Gu An's memory.
Throughout his journey, he hadn't had many enemies, but there were even fewer people who would take the initiative to help him before he displayed his strength.
Gu An could see through the essence of the Mortal World, so he valued such kindness even more.
After hearing this, Li Xuanyu asked hesitantly, "Can I really join Nothingness?"
She was uncertain because, in her view, she offered no real help to Gu An, and she felt unworthy.
Seeing her expression, Gu An had an idea.
What if he cultivated Li Xuanyu to be stronger than Li Ya, and one day Li Ya was defeated by her own sister? What would Li Ya's reaction be?
Gu An found the idea intriguing. Li Ya and Li Xuanyu were siblings, and sparring wouldn't damage their relationship. He wanted to see Li Ya's expression of frustration and surprise.
