Chapter 734: The Unfathomable Nothingness
Chapter 734: The Unfathomable Nothingness
Emperor Tian Hong's departure caused quite a stir within the Nothingness. After all, Emperor Tian Hong was the only one who could match An Xing and the Great Sage Xueyu, even Lv Xian couldn't best him.
Gu An didn't hide his true origins, revealing his Xianshen identity to the Wushi Disciples, allowing them to formally encounter the ancient overlord of the Three Thousand Great Daos, the Heavenly Court.
Xianshen Reincarnation!
The second-generation and third-generation disciples were all shocked. An Xing also shared his knowledge of the Heavenly Court with the disciples, deepening their understanding of this ancient power.
Learning that some Wushi Disciples had already achieved immortality, the disciples in the training grounds were even more invigorated. They felt that the Nothingness was all-powerful, capable of granting immortality and freedom across the heavens.
At the same time, they began to speculate more about Gu An.
Even after cultivating for millions of years within the Nothingness, no one knew Gu An's true origins, not even An Xing or the Heavenly Demon.
Gu An could hear the disciples' speculations, but he paid them no mind. No matter what the younger generations guessed, it wouldn't affect him. The more they revered him, the better, as it would prevent any trouble.
After Emperor Tian Hong left, An Xing came to ask Gu An if they should open the sect to more disciples. Gu An refused.
However, he did loosen his stance a bit, allowing the disciples to take on apprentices. Each disciple from the second generation onward could only take one apprentice, and if a disciple committed evil, their master would also be held accountable.
While it seemed like a limited number of apprentices, the lineage would eventually grow over generations, and the Nothingness would strengthen.
Gu An had just relaxed his stance when, less than a decade later, the first fourth-generation disciple was born.
Gu An didn't care much about the fourth-generation disciples and didn't go to see them personally. He planned to hand over more power to An Xing, as he didn't want to deal with the trivial matters.
An Xing didn't monopolize the power either, letting his eldest disciple, An Zizai, manage many of the affairs.
An Zizai often lamented that despite his name meaning "freedom", he felt far from free.
Of course, he was just venting. He was content with his current life and had found his own value.
The Nothingness was gradually growing stronger, and so were the various sects across the Under Heaven. From the sects, one could see the entire world, and the Heavenly Spirit Grand World was also developing rapidly.
With the assistance of a Xianshen and the guidance of the Primordial Dao Emperor, the Vast World's fortune naturally soared.
Thirty thousand years passed.
Compared to the rapid changes in the outside world, the Nine Spirits Continent didn't change as quickly.
One morning.
Two figures cut through the thick fog and flew into the Nine Spirits Continent. They were Li Ya and Li Xian You.
Li Ya was still dressed in black, his black hair tied back, with two strands of hair framing his face. The breeze made his robes flutter, but his stance was as immovable as a mountain.
Li Xian You's aura, while not as powerful as his master's, still exuded the aura of a great being. Compared to his last visit to the Nine Spirits Continent, he had a more weathered and experienced air, as if he had endured more hardships than Li Ya.
"Such a dense spiritual energy, far surpassing what it used to be. Even the cave heavens of the nine great sects can't compare."
Li Ya marveled, feeling a bit nervous as he thought about soon meeting Gu An.
Li Xian You nodded, about to speak, when a rainbow of light shot from the horizon. The light dissipated, revealing two figures.
It was An Xing and Li Xuanyu.
"Sis!"
Li Ya shouted in pleasant surprise. He had been worried about Li Xuanyu, and seeing her made him feel much more at ease.
He immediately recognized that Li Xuanyu had also attained the rank of Free Spirit Immortal, which made him marvel at his junior brother's training ground and its remarkable fortune.
The Li family now had two Free Spirit Immortals, which was enough to elevate their status. Unfortunately, neither of these Free Spirit Immortals was in the Taicang Dynasty.
Li Xuanyu was also delighted to see Li Ya and quickly approached him.
Li Ya did not neglect his manners, first greeting An Xing and introducing his disciple.
"Your disciple is quite remarkable, having already reached the cultivation level of a Free Spirit Immortal", Li Xuanyu remarked, sizing up Li Xian You.
An Xing was not surprised. The last time Li Xian You visited, she had already noticed that he was a Free Spirit Immortal.
Li Xian You's cultivation speed was undoubtedly among the best in the world, leading An Xing to suspect that he had received guidance from his master.
She knew that her master often paid attention to Li Ya and might have secretly assisted him.
"He has indeed proven himself, but compared to other Free Spirit Immortals, he still has a long way to go", Li Ya smiled.
As they flew toward Nothingness, the four of them chatted, with Li Ya and Li Xuanyu doing most of the talking.
After learning about Li Ya's experiences over the years, Li Xuanyu sighed, "You're still the same, always stirring things up. Compared to you, my experiences have been rather mundane, always cultivating within the training ground."
Li Ya shook his head, "Even though you've stayed here, your cultivation is no less than mine."
Despite this, Li Ya did not consider Li Xuanyu a rival.
On the contrary, he was very curious about An Xing's strength.
In his perception, An Xing's cultivation was unfathomable, and her gaze made him feel uneasy.
He suspected that An Xing had already surpassed the Free Spirit Immortal stage.
If that were true, it would be truly extraordinary.
An Xing was his junior, yet she had surpassed him.
Back when they were in the Grand Mystery Sect, An Xing had been unremarkable to him, except for being Gu An's disciple. Who would have thought that An Xing could reach this level?
As they flew, they passed by numerous cities, and Li Ya was amazed by the spiritual Qi of the living beings they encountered.
The inhabitants of these cities were all cultivating for immortality, and their cultivation levels were impressive. Almost every city had beings who had transcended the Heaven and Earth stage, a foundation that even the nine great sects could not match.
Li Xian You was also astonished. Compared to his previous visit, this continent had undergone tremendous changes, giving him the impression that this place was the center of the Heavenly Spirit Grand World.
When they and their disciples saw the World Gate shrouded in mist, they were even more amazed.
Li Xian You had seen it before, but from a distance. Now, being closer, he could feel the vast Qi of the World Gate, which filled him with awe.
Seeing Li Ya's surprise, An Xing explained the origin and purpose of the World Gate. After understanding, Li Ya was even more impressed by Gu An's Dao cultivation.
How strong is Master Gu?
The higher his own cultivation became, the greater the gap between him and Master Gu seemed to be.
However, he did not feel disheartened. He knew that it wasn't because his own growth was slow, but rather that the initial gap was already significant, and now it was just more apparent.
The four of them continued without stopping. Li Ya, filled with amazement, finally arrived at the core training ground of Nothingness.
He could sense an invisible great array isolating the outside world. As he stepped in, a powerful Dao Intent enveloped him, making him feel refreshed and invigorated.
"Li Ya, you're still alive, I see?"
A cheerful laugh echoed, and Li Ya turned to see a middle-aged man standing under a tree in the forest below, looking up at them.
Zuo Yijian of the Grand Mystery Sect!
He was here too!
Li Ya was shocked again, as Zuo Yijian had also reached the Freedom Immortal Realm.
This...
