Chapter 738: Great Daokarma, Evil Retribution
Gu An listened to Shangguan Xianer's mental monologue and found it amusing. What kind of rumors were circulating in private? Those disciples who left and never returned were not rejected by Gu An.
"Go and consult your mentors. You don't have the qualifications for me to teach you yet."
Gu An replied, then continued carving the wooden figure in his hand.
Shangguan Xianer widened her eyes, wanting to say something but ultimately held back.
"It seems my sword path isn't good enough to catch the Great Grandmaster's eye."
Shangguan Xianer thought to herself, feeling she had found her answer. She had shown Gu An her skills to gauge her own progress. Since she wasn't good enough, she would practice more, at least now she had more motivation to refine her sword path.
With this clarity, Shangguan Xianer's spirits lifted, and she returned to her usual lively self. She left in a hurry after a few words.
Gu An's lips curved into a smile, and he continued carving the wooden figure.
Over the long years, he had many hobbies, and those he persisted with, he developed into cultivation practices. The wooden figure in his hand, though ordinary in appearance, held deep secrets.
He wanted to turn these wooden figures into formidable combatants. The current number was already substantial, but his cultivation realm was still insufficient.
After Shangguan Xianer left, no one else disturbed Gu An.
As twilight approached, Shen Zhen, who had been meditating in front of the Alchemy Cauldron, opened her eyes. She looked at Gu An, who was admiring the wooden figure in his hand, and said, "Gu An, I saw someone. A mysterious Karma guided me, urging me to save her."
Gu An looked at her and asked, "Who is it?"
As he spoke, he followed Shen Zhen's Karma, and what he saw and heard made his heart race.
Finally, he had found her!
"It's a woman, meditating in a darkness that I can't describe, it's incredibly oppressive..." Shen Zhen took a deep breath and spoke earnestly.
Gu An stood up, tucking the wooden figure into his robes. He looked at Shen Zhen and asked, "Do you want to go and see her?"
Shen Zhen didn't immediately agree. Instead, she hesitated and asked, "Will it be dangerous? Could I be manipulated by some powerful being, using me to lure you there?"
After cultivating for millions of years, although she didn't focus much on Qi cultivation, her time spent in enlightenment was the longest. After achieving the rank of Primordial Dao Emperor, she had undergone more Reincarnation Projections in the training ground than An Xing.
Although An Xing didn't say it, Gu An knew she already considered Shen Zhen her greatest future rival, referring to the Spell Dueling Assembly. Xueyu Great Saint was no longer a threat to her.
Her profound Dao cultivation and deep understanding of Karma Dao made her believe that there were no coincidences in the world.
She couldn't have achieved enlightenment for no reason, nor could she have developed such a strong desire to save a stranger without cause.
This must be the work of some supreme being.
What could make such a powerful being manipulate her?
The only thing she could think of was Gu An.
"Indeed, someone is guiding you to save that woman." Gu An walked over to her and smiled.
Hearing this, Shen Zhen sighed in relief and asked, "You sensed it long ago? Do you know that person?"
"Let's go, I'll explain on the way."
Gu An came to her side and lightly patted her shoulder.
Shen Zhen stood up and followed Gu An. As she took her first steps, the surroundings suddenly changed. She found herself in darkness, with silver rays of light beneath her feet, like an endless stream of fish flowing forward, never stopping.
Gu An walked ahead, and Shen Zhen's gaze followed his back, her unease dissipating.
She hurried to catch up, walking side by side with Gu An. Curiously, she asked, "Where are we? Why is there no Qi of the Great Dao here?"
"This is a void created by Karma Dao. Despite its emptiness, the edges are guarded by Great Daokarma. Great Daokarma is a rule created by the Three Thousand Great Daos. Violating the rules of the Great Dao will result in the backlash of Great Daokarma, causing one's Dao cultivation to dissipate and suffering endless torment until consciousness is extinguished."
Gu An replied, stating that this was his first time visiting this place as well. Even if the Grand Luo Immortal of Dao's Peak were to come here, if they were tainted by Great Dao Karma, they would not have a good outcome.
When he used the Karma Tong Sheng curse to kill enemies before, he had suffered the backlash of Great Dao Karma. However, compared to the Great Dao Karma surrounding this plane, it was like a grain of rice shining next to the bright moon.
Although the Great Dao Karma here was powerful, it could not harm the Primal Dao Fruit.
In other words, the Primordial Essence Immortal could come and go as he pleased, and the Great Dao Karma was like an illusion to him.
"Great Dao Karma... does it mean retribution?" Shen Zhen muttered.
"You can understand it that way. Let me tell you a story."
Gu An responded and then began to recount the story of the Eternal Emperor.
The journey was long, and he wasn't walking particularly fast. Telling the story was just a cover; he was using his Dao Intent to help Fairy Yaoyuan expel the Great Dao Karma.
Fairy Yaoyuan was entirely enveloped by Great Dao Karma, her consciousness falling into an endless abyss, constantly reliving her deepest fears. She had long since broken down.
The only reason she hadn't completely lost her mind was because of the protection of Dadao Emperor's Qi Yun.
It had to be said that the Dadao Emperor was indeed a remarkable being, capable of contending with the Great Dao.
For a fairy, Fairy Yaoyuan's Great Dao Karma was impossible to dispel, and even the Eternal Emperor was at a loss. However, for the current Gu An, her Great Dao Karma backlash was something he could resolve.
At first, Shen Zhen wasn't too concerned, listening while feeling the unfamiliar and unknown universe around them. But soon, she was drawn into the story of the Eternal Emperor.
Born into a tragic life, losing both parents, burdened with hatred, he cultivated with determination. He met the one he loved but was ultimately separated from her. Carrying his obsession, he traveled through the heavens, and before he could save his beloved, he was pursued and hunted by Xianshen.
Shen Zhen, who had a habit of writing, found herself deeply engrossed in the Eternal Emperor's life story, her emotions swaying with the narrative.
In some inexplicable way, she felt a connection to the Eternal Emperor.
"The Eternal Emperor dedicated himself to the Great Karma Stele, hoping to use the most perfect creation of Karma Dao to find Fairy Yaoyuan."
Gu An paused here, glancing at Shen Zhen.
Shen Zhen understood and asked, "The woman I saw is Fairy Yaoyuan, and the Karma guiding me to save her is the Eternal Emperor's obsession?"
Gu An replied, "That's right. Once you save Fairy Yaoyuan, this Karma will be resolved, and you won't be affected by it anymore."
Shen Zhen frowned. "But why did the Eternal Emperor choose me? Do I have any connection to Fairy Yaoyuan? Am I her descendant?"
"You are not, but you are connected."
"I'm not? Then why choose me?"
Shen Zhen was puzzled. Suddenly, she thought of something and widened her eyes in shock. "Could you be the Eternal Emperor's descendant? No, what is your relationship with the Eternal Emperor? You can't be his reincarnation, can you?"
The thought of Gu An being the Eternal Emperor made Shen Zhen feel a strange mix of emotions, indescribable and confusing.
Gu An shook his head and laughed. "He died within the Great Karma Stele and has no chance of reincarnation. I just knew him."
This was the truth. The Eternal Emperor had no reincarnation; rather, Gu An was the reincarnation of the Eternal Emperor.
