Chapter 725: Beyond Celestial Deity
Chapter 725: Beyond Celestial Deity
"Of course, you don't need to worry too much. However, I must tell you that once you enter Nothingness, it won't be easy to leave. If you want to achieve enlightenment, you'll have to endure a long and tedious journey."
Gu An smiled at Li Xuanyu, and if Li Xuanyu didn't want to join Nothingness, he wouldn't force him.
Li Xuanyu nodded and said, "I understand. Following you will grant me the power to surpass all beings. If not restrained, such power might bring calamity to the mortal world. I can only choose between freedom and strength."
Is that how you see it?
Not that it's impossible.
In truth, the reason Gu An restricts his disciples is simply because they are too weak. Leaving too early could lead to problems they can't solve on their own, and he doesn't want to be constantly cleaning up after them.
"You've come to invite me personally, how can I refuse? Can you give me some time to settle my affairs?" Li Xuanyu looked at Gu An and spoke softly.
The people around them couldn't hear their conversation, and no one even glanced their way.
This wasn't the first time Li Xuanyu had noticed this, but each time, she felt a sense of awe and disbelief.
Gu An had no objections. They exchanged a few more pleasantries, then parted ways.
At the same time.
On the other side of the Mortal World, deep in a forest, stood a wooden cabin. Inside, Li Xian You, now grown, was carving a wooden sword with a small knife.
He wore a white robe, with a black shoulder cloak and his hair tied back with a grass rope. His chiseled face exuded confidence.
Bang!
The door to the wooden cabin creaked open, and an old man in a green robe stepped out, his expression grim. He didn't even glance at Li Xian You as he transformed into a white light and disappeared into the horizon of the heavenly dome.
Li Xian You didn't pay much attention and continued carving his wooden sword.
Li Ya, dressed in black, emerged from the cabin, the sunlight falling on his figure. He stretched and sighed, "Apprentice, why are there so many ambitious people in this world? The Dao Court's fate should serve as a warning. Unifying the Mortal World is no easy task."
Li Xian You, with his back to Li Ya, replied, "The Dao Court wasn't a failure. They dominated for so long, and they disbanded on their own. The major sects in the Mortal World might have been founded by Dao Court cultivators under different names. Even without the Dao Court, there's still the Xuan Court and the Xian Court. They can still enjoy the resources of the Mortal World."
Li Ya glared at Li Xian You and said irritably, "Brat, do you want me to join those sects and become their lackey?"
"That's not what I mean. If you want to join an immortal cultivation sect, you should join Nothingness and follow Uncle Gu", Li Xian You said without turning around.
Ever since he witnessed Uncle Gu's abilities, he had wanted to join Nothingness. Unfortunately, Li Ya refused.
He understood his master's thoughts. Men, after all, are competitive. If Uncle Gu were a generation senior, it might be different, but they were brothers in the same generation.
Li Ya huffed, "Nothingness is a great place, I know that. You don't understand what I'm thinking."
"True, I don't understand. What I do know is that without me around, you might end up seriously injured again."
"Nonsense, last time was an accident."
"Heh, let's call it an accident. After all, without me carrying you, you would have been reincarnated already."
Li Xian You's words infuriated Li Ya. This brat was becoming more disrespectful by the day.
Li Ya regretted his impulsive actions in the past. He should have investigated his opponent's background before acting. It wasn't that he was afraid, but losing face in front of his apprentice was painful.
"Stop carving that wooden sword. Come, I'll take you to the Sword Sect. You want a divine sword, right? I'll fulfill your wish!"
Li Ya placed her hands on her hips and said with great confidence.
Upon hearing this, Li Xian You immediately stood up, his eyes wide with surprise as he looked at Li Ya.
Li Ya relished his gaze; this was the attitude a disciple should have.
"The Sword Sect’s reputation is now unparalleled, and Sword Sect’s Chen Chuan is the foremost sword cultivator under heaven. According to what you, Master, have said, he can be considered my senior. Could he offer me some guidance?" Li Xian You stepped forward, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Li Ya’s eyes widened in anger. "His sword path can’t compare to mine! Are you thinking of betraying me, you little brat?"
"Of course not. I just want to gather the strengths of various schools under heaven and create my own sword path", Li Xian You replied earnestly.
In his heart, he truly believed Li Ya was no match for Chen Chuan.
Ever since Chen Chuan entered the Zizai Immortal Realm, he had never been defeated. To be precise, he had never lost since he gained fame. Unlike his master, Li Xian You had personally witnessed his master’s defeat.
The image of his master, covered in blood and on the brink of death, still haunted him.
Once, Li Ya was the invincible presence in his heart. His Uncle Gu, of course, didn’t count, as he would never become his master’s rival.
His master’s defeat shattered his faith.
Of course, he wouldn’t voice these thoughts, fearing they might hurt Li Ya.
He still respected Li Ya, for Li Ya was the most chivalrous person he had ever met. Li Ya had saved many people like him who were in distress, asking for nothing in return.
The last time Li Ya was injured, it was because he couldn’t stand the sight of the strong oppressing the weak.
"Fortunately, this time the Sword Sect is holding the First Sword Conference under heaven. I will challenge him and show you who is truly more powerful", Li Ya said with a snort, her eyes brimming with intense battle spirit.
Chen Chuan’s fame was too great. Everywhere he went, he would hear sword cultivators mention this name, which piqued his curiosity.
If he couldn’t defeat Gu An, he certainly wouldn’t be able to defeat Gu An’s disciple?
The world was vast, filled with countless powerful beings. As a senior, he needed to give his junior a little reminder.
Upon hearing this, Li Xian You opened his mouth to refuse but ultimately held back his words.
Forget it.
With Uncle Gu’s reputation, Chen Chuan wouldn’t dare harm his master.
...
Above the cloud sea, figures clad in silver armor, radiating Heavenly Dao light, stood like towering peaks. Most of their faces were filled with excitement.
Zhang Buku and Xu You were among them, feeling the Heavenly Dao Qi Yun within them, their hearts unable to calm down.
"Is this the power of Xianshen? It’s truly formidable..."
Zhang Buku looked at his hands and murmured.
Xu You glanced at him and said, "This is just the beginning. We have only just received the Heavenly Court Qi Yun. Our cultivation will grow rapidly, eventually reaching the Luotian Freedom Realm. If you seize the opportunity and advance to the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit Realm, you will become a true Celestial Deity. Heavenly Soldiers don’t even have the right to call themselves Xianshen."
Hearing this, Zhang Buku lifted his gaze to the heavenly dome, where a boundless expanse of golden mist floated. Above the mist, a Heavenly Guardian looked down upon them, like a sovereign watching over his creations.
Seeing the Heavenly Guardian, Zhang Buku was reminded of his crushing defeat on the Great Dao Path.
So-called Celestial Deities were nothing more than that.
His goal was to surpass them!
