Chapter 732: The Heavenly Emperor's Only Mount
Chapter 732: The Heavenly Emperor's Only Mount
Time flies. It has been another five hundred thousand years since Li Xian You left.
Inside the Voidness Training Ground.
Gu An sat by the lake, painting a landscape, his mind wandering beyond the Nine Spirits Continent.
Li Ya showed extraordinary insight on the Primal Dao Emperor path, achieving the Primal Dao Emperor realm in just five hundred thousand years. During this time, he did not engage in any duels but immersed himself in cultivation.
Although he remained calm, his disciple Li Xian You found himself in trouble.
Li Xian You fell in love with a woman, but she was betrothed by her family. She had left her family to escape the arranged marriage and met Li Xian You by chance.
They decided to face the family pressure together, but fate was cruel. The woman was forced to her death within her family. Now, not only her family but also the family she was betrothed to wants to kill Li Xian You to restore their honor.
Both families are ancient and powerful, possessing Dao Library Free Immortal realm elders.
Gu An watched quietly, not fearing that Li Xian You would be in danger, for Li Ya would intervene.
In the upcoming battle to save his disciple, Li Ya would display a sword art that would shake the Under Heaven, becoming the first sword cultivator of the Under Heaven. In the future, he would also become the openly acknowledged top cultivator of the Heavenly Spirit Grand World.
Li Ya would elevate the Primal Dao Emperor path, making it a goal for future cultivators to aspire to.
Besides Li Ya, Gu An also kept an eye on others. He saw Zhang Buku following the Heavenly Guardian into the Great Dao void between the Three Thousand Great Worlds, diligently cultivating.
With the help of Tai Qing Jin Xian, Zhu Xi was gradually taking control of the Taiwei Great World.
The Taiwei Great World had a rich heritage. With Zhu Xi's strength, it would have been impossible for him to become the Master of Heaven and Earth, but because Taishang Jue had destroyed the Divine Court, the great cultivators were wary of Taishang Jue's return and wanted to use the Holy Court as a shield. This gave Zhu Xi an opportunity.
When the Emperor's Contention begins, these ancient forces will launch attacks on the Holy Court, aiming to reclaim their former power. However, that is a matter for the future. For now, Zhu Xi will remain in the position of World Master for a long time.
Gu An watched the Heavenly Realms while painting, each brushstroke imbued with Dao Intent, making everything in the painting come to life. The flowers and grass in the painting swayed in the wind, as if they were real.
Xueyu Great Saint approached Gu An with a flattering smile and said, "Master, the geniuses of the Nine Spirits Continent are increasing, and many people are seeking our help. When can we open the gates of Voidness?"
Gu An replied casually, "What? You want to take disciples?"
"I won't take any. I am your mount. How could I take disciples? What if the generations get mixed up and conflicts arise? That would be a big problem. I just think Voidness should grow. Besides, the Nine Spirits Continent has a solid foundation after all these years", Xueyu Great Saint chuckled.
The stronger Voidness becomes, the more he benefits. The thought of countless Wu Shi Disciples looking up to him filled him with excitement.
He even had greater ambitions.
He wanted to be the Heavenly Emperor's only mount!
Gu An said softly, "Once that gate opens, it will be like a great river, unstoppable and unceasing."
"Master, why stop it? If you fear the trouble, you can let An Xing and us manage it. If you fear the younger generation causing chaos, you can establish rules", Xueyu Great Saint asked, puzzled.
He never considered that Gu An might be wary of the Heavenly Court.
In his mind, Gu An was the strongest, and Voidness was far from the Heavenly Court.
Not to mention, there were many sects in the Under Heaven that were more powerful than Voidness, and they hadn't suffered any divine retribution.
Gu An was also pondering the issue.
Although he always said he didn't want to establish a sect, in reality, he had been doing just that.
Moreover, he couldn't always protect his disciples; it was time for them to stand on their own.
Seeing that Gu An didn't speak, the Great Sage Xueyu didn't press the matter further. Instead, he focused his gaze on the painting.
"This painting..."
The Great Sage Xueyu's eyes lit up. Though the painting depicted a landscape, he saw the vast Three Thousand Great Dao pathways within it. The Great Dao rivers flowed ceaselessly, like a kaleidoscope of scenes unfolding before his eyes.
Gu An put down his brush and handed it to the Great Sage Xueyu.
"The next part of the painting is up to you. Show it to me when you're done."
With that, Gu An turned and left, while the Great Sage Xueyu, holding the brush, became immediately engrossed, his eyes filled with anticipation. He forgot all about the expansion of Forgetnothingness and focused solely on the painting.
Gu An walked into the forest and eventually arrived at the other end of the Mortal World.
Human Realm Peak, Heaven Stabilizing Peak.
Over three million years had passed, and he was still the peak master of Heaven Stabilizing Peak. He hadn't interfered much with Human Realm Peak, so it hadn't become one of the top sects of the era.
The strongest cultivator at Human Realm Peak was only at the Zizai Immortal Realm. Fortunately, the peak master, Eternal Year Dao Lord, had no ambitions for power and only wanted to solidify the dao tradition.
Because of this philosophy, time seemed to pass quickly at Human Realm Peak.
Gu An had only just arrived when Eternal Year Dao Lord appeared in his courtyard.
"Peak master, are you specifically waiting for me?"
Gu An asked while picking herbs.
Eternal Year Dao Lord couldn't sense Gu An's qi, but he could feel the slightest movements in the courtyard. Of course, this was only because Gu An hadn't deliberately hidden his presence. He had countless ways to ensure that Eternal Year Dao Lord wouldn't know he was there.
Eternal Year Dao Lord wore a white dao robe, exuding a sage-like aura and a warm, friendly smile. He was deeply beloved by the disciples of Human Realm Peak, who all considered him a good person.
"Exactly. I've encountered some confusion and wanted to seek your advice."
Eternal Year Dao Lord chuckled. Over the years, as Gu An returned to the peak every month, the two had gradually become close, or at least, that's what Eternal Year Dao Lord believed.
From the moment they met, Gu An had always seemed mysterious to him. He had always thought Gu An was of a high cultivation level, and over time, he even suspected that Gu An might be a Dao Library Free Immortal, as even the Free Spirit Immortals in the sect couldn't detect Gu An's presence.
To Eternal Year Dao Lord, a Dao Library Free Immortal was already a tremendous existence, though there were still higher realms like the Celestial Realm of Supreme Freedom and the Xuan Yuan Zi Zai Xian.
As for the Vast Dao Sword Venerable, that was a legend he rarely thought about.
Gu An didn't stop his work and casually asked, "What confusion could I possibly resolve for you?"
Eternal Year Dao Lord smiled and said, "It's about the Primal Dao Emperor. I mentioned before that I obtained some opportunities from the Primal Dao Emperor, which I wanted to give to you, but you refused. I believe you must be the Primal Dao Emperor, with a cultivation so deep and unfathomable that you don't care about such matters."
Gu An didn't respond.
The opportunities from the Primal Dao Emperor weren't given to Eternal Year Dao Lord by him. As the Three Thousand Great Worlds began to produce Primal Crystals, the Heavenly Spirit Grand World also had some, one of which Eternal Year Dao Lord had obtained.
It could only be said that Eternal Year Dao Lord truly had great fortune.
"Alright, but I haven't yet become the Primal Dao Emperor either. I'm just a bit further along in the exploration", Gu An replied with a hint of resignation.
Eternal Year Dao Lord's smile widened. "Indeed, you must be secluding yourself at Human Realm Peak to better comprehend the dao, right?"
