Chapter 740: Xuan Qiong Holy Mother
Chapter 740: Xuan Qiong Holy Mother
Shen Zhen searched high and low but found no trace of any other presence. Fairy Yaoyuan furrowed her brows, surprised that more than one entity was watching her.
Gu An, however, remained calm, waiting for the other party to reveal themselves.
A burst of intense light erupted from the depths of the void opposite the mysterious giant eye, startling Shen Zhen and causing her to turn around.
Fairy Yaoyuan also stood up and turned to look.
The radiant light illuminated half of the cosmic void, and within it, a figure slowly emerged. It was a woman, dignified and imposing.
Like an ancient titan descending, she towered over billions of miles, dwarfing every mountain Shen Zhen had ever seen, making her eyes widen in astonishment.
"I didn't expect a Dao companion to see through my illusion."
A cold female voice echoed, accompanied by a vast Heavenly Majesty.
A Heavenly Court Immortal Deity!
Gu An cast a Lifespan Detection at her.
[Xuan Qiong Holy Mother (Great Dao Supreme Immortal Realm (Late Stage)): 0/0/0]
Xuan Qiong Holy Mother!
Gu An noted the name, planning to inquire about her from the Celestial Spirit Deity and Taiyi Immortal Lord later.
Xuan Qiong Holy Mother's Heavenly Dao Qi Yun was extremely dense. Gu An could only discern her cultivation and true form. She was not a human who had become an immortal but a tree by nature.
Gu An spoke, "May I ask, Dao companion, for whom have you come?"
"This woman is not my target. My goal is to subdue this evil entity. Could you do me a favor and step aside?" Xuan Qiong Holy Mother replied, devoid of the arrogance one might expect from a Heavenly Court Immortal Deity.
In truth, she was quite surprised. When Gu An and Shen Zhen burst in, she was taken aback that this person could resist the backlash of Great Dao Karma.
Now, facing Gu An directly, she could not gauge his depth and could not even see his face clearly.
What did this mean?
Gu An's Dao cultivation was at least on par with hers, if not higher!
Most terrifyingly, he lacked Heavenly Dao Qi Yun, indicating he did not belong to the Heavenly Court.
To cultivate to this level without the support of the Heavenly Court was no small feat.
While the Heavenly Court boasted countless powerful beings, the majority of Xianshen owed their current strength to the Heavenly Dao Qi Yun provided by the Heavenly Court.
The higher the realm, the more difficult it was to advance. Talent alone was no longer a sufficient measure.
"If it's just for this evil entity, I will not interfere. Let's go."
With that, Gu An raised his hand and gestured to Fairy Yaoyuan to follow. Then, he turned and left, with Shen Zhen close behind. Fairy Yaoyuan did not hesitate and followed the two.
"May I ask for your name, Dao companion? I am a Supreme Xian of the Heavenly Court, Xuan Qiong Holy Mother. Since we have met, why not form a good connection? My training ground is in the Ninth Heaven of the Heavenly Pole. I welcome you to visit in the future."
Xuan Qiong Holy Mother's voice called out from behind, but it did not make Gu An pause.
"My name is Meng Lang. I have no fixed abode and travel through the heavens. If I ever pass by the Ninth Heaven of the Heavenly Pole, I will surely visit you."
Gu An replied casually, causing Shen Zhen's lips to twitch.
Xuan Qiong Holy Mother said no more, watching as Gu An and the others departed.
Soon, the three of them vanished into the void, and Xuan Qiong Holy Mother continued toward the mysterious giant eye, her emitted Heavenly Dao light gradually consuming the darkness.
On the other side.
Gu An and his two companions entered the Great Dao Turbulence, surrounded by bizarre and dazzling light, which left them dazzled.
"That person is really a Heavenly Court Immortal Deity? Why didn't that evil entity run away? When we were leaving, it was still standing there foolishly", Shen Zhen remarked.
Gu An gazed forward and said, "She is indeed a Xianshen, and the Heavenly Court’s Qi Yun would not lie. As for that evil entity, it’s not foolish; it simply can’t escape. It also isn’t afraid of a Xianshen because it shares life and death with the Karma Dao."
"So terrifying. Does the Xianshen have a way to completely eliminate it?" Shen Zhen pressed.
"Didn’t you hear her? She wants to subdue it, which means she’s here for her own selfish desires."
"Subdue? Allowing such an evil entity to grow is not a good idea, right? Isn’t she afraid it will cause a great disaster?"
Shen Zhen suddenly felt worried. The thought of the evil entity absorbing the evil thoughts of living beings and becoming an extremely terrifying existence, bringing catastrophic disasters to the Three Thousand Great Worlds, filled her with concern.
She used to love writing books and was very sensitive to such plot developments.
"I don’t know. Xianshens have their own plans", Gu An replied casually. In reality, he wasn’t concerned about that evil entity.
Not to mention a Primordial Essence Immortal, even a Dao Apex Grand Luo Immortal could easily subdue it. After all, the evil entity is a creation of the Karma Dao, and no matter how powerful it becomes, it can’t surpass the Karma Dao itself.
Of course, for those who haven’t created their own Dao, such an evil entity is extremely terrifying. If they were to encounter it, they would be better off dead.
Fairy Yaoyuan followed behind, silent.
She was filled with curiosity. Before being expelled by the Great Dao Karma, she hadn’t seen many Xianshens, and the aura of Xuan Qiong Holy Mother was stronger than any powerful being she had ever encountered.
Who is this person?
Why did she come here?
Fairy Yaoyuan had a vague suspicion. In her eyes, Gu An’s figure gradually overlapped with that of another person.
Although she had suspicions, she didn’t question him. If he didn’t say anything, there must be a hidden reason.
What she needed to focus on now was recovering her own cultivation.
Soon, the surrounding Great Dao Turbulence disappeared, and they arrived at a Great Dao River. Light rose from beneath their feet, illuminating their surroundings.
Gu An stopped and turned halfway to face Fairy Yaoyuan. "This is the Great Dao Path. From now on, you are free."
Fairy Yaoyuan looked at him. Even though his face was blurry, she felt a sense of familiarity. She asked, "You saved me, and you don’t need me to do anything for you?"
Shen Zhen watched them, silent.
"I am an old acquaintance of the Eternal Emperor. He died inside the Great Karma Stele, and I merely helped him fulfill his last wish", Gu An revealed the Eternal Emperor’s fate.
Fairy Yaoyuan’s eyes changed when she heard this.
Shen Zhen finally relaxed, realizing that Gu An and Fairy Yaoyuan had no direct connection.
At that moment, Fairy Yaoyuan looked at Shen Zhen and said, "She carries the Karma of my child. That means my child was saved by you as well. Where is he?"
"He is in my training ground, and I have taken him as my disciple. If you want to see him, I will let him visit you once he becomes powerful", Gu An said honestly.
Fairy Yaoyuan looked at him again and asked, "Can I go to your training ground?"
She paused and continued, "Although I don’t know how many years I was sealed, I can feel that besides my child, I have no other place to go or rely on. If I go to your training ground, I will serve you in the future."
Gu An sighed inwardly. He could hear Fairy Yaoyuan’s suspicions.
She was certain he was the Eternal Emperor.
So be it.
It’s a good time to let Zui'er meet his mother.
In the future, guiding Fairy Yaoyuan to achieve the Primordial Dao Emperor might help her understand the relationship between the Eternal Emperor and him.
