Chapter 741: Xianshen's Evil Thoughts
Fairy Yaoyuan's arrival did not cause much of a stir in the Wu Shi Training Ground. With the increasing number of fourth-generation disciples, many still remained strangers to one another.
Fairy Yaoyuan was quite curious about the Wu Shi Training Ground. The spiritual energy and Dao Intent here were the strongest she had ever encountered, making it an absolute cultivation sanctuary.
Gu An instructed Shen Zhen to take Fairy Yaoyuan to meet Zui, while he returned to his room to observe the methods of Xuan Qiong Holy Mother in dealing with the evil entity.
As expected, Xuan Qiong Holy Mother subdued the evil entity and turned it into a pet, naming it Xuan Evil. Notably, she did not introduce Heavenly Dao Qi Yun into Xuan Evil's body, leading Gu An to speculate that she did not want the Heavenly Court to be aware of this matter.
After taming Xuan Evil, Xuan Qiong Holy Mother flew toward the Nine Heavens of the Celestial Apex without meeting any other Xianshen along the way.
Gu An retracted his gaze, closed his eyes, and began to ponder the Great Dao Karma of the Exile Realm.
How was such a place formed, and why did an existence like Xuan Evil come into being?
If the Great Dao Karma could form Great Dao rules, could other Great Dao also do so? Does this mean there are other entities similar to Xuan Evil, and are there other Exile Realms of other Great Dao?
Thinking further about Heavenly Dao Qi Yun, it is not omnipresent. The Three Thousand Great Worlds are the central domain of Heavenly Dao Qi Yun, but beyond that, there are other realms of Heavenly Dao Qi Yun, such as the Primordial Emperor Domain, Piaomiao Xianting, and Spirit Mountain.
However, there are also many places outside the Heavenly Dao, like the Hongmeng Great World, Abyssal Dao Sea, and Supreme Origin Forest, which Gu An has visited.
From what is currently known, the number of cosmic planes outside the Heavenly Dao far exceeds those within it.
In other words, the Heavenly Dao is far from being the ultimate Great Dao.
What do the Heavenly Emperor and the Supreme Beings standing at the peak of the Heavenly Dao face? Do they have any concerns?
While Gu An was engaged in such speculative thinking, Zui and Fairy Yaoyuan reunited. Shen Zhen had not yet introduced Fairy Yaoyuan when Zui pounced toward her.
The reunion of mother and son was a heartwarming scene. Zui embraced his mother, with countless things he wanted to say, while Fairy Yaoyuan, seeing that he was doing well, beamed with joy.
In the days that followed, the relationship between Zui and Fairy Yaoyuan became known. Zui is Gu An's little disciple, and all the Wushi Disciples knew that Gu An doted on him. No one expected that Gu An would dote on him to the extent of bringing his mother back.
Many disciples had their suspicions but dared not voice them.
Gu An is supremely powerful; even if they spoke in whispers, he would likely hear them.
Gu An did not pay much attention to what the disciples were thinking; time would eventually dissipate all doubts.
Although Fairy Yaoyuan's realm had fallen to Dao Library Free Immortal, she was still a Great Dao Emperor. Upon arriving in Nothingness, her cultivation progressed rapidly.
Notably, Fairy Yaoyuan discerned that An Xing had cultivated the Emperor Eye. She proactively suggested a sparring session with An Xing. Although they did not determine a clear winner, it put pressure on An Xing.
An Xing would seek out Fairy Yaoyuan for a sparring session every thousand years.
By the time Fairy Yaoyuan reached the Xuan Yuan Free Immortal Realm, she was no longer an opponent.
For An Xing to achieve the Xuan Yuan Zi Zai Xian realm, he needed time to accumulate his understanding of the Great Dao. However, Fairy Yaoyuan had already reached this realm in the past; she was merely recovering her cultivation.
Fairy Yaoyuan and An Xing developed a close relationship, which Gu An viewed as a positive development. Having followed the Eternal Emperor in battle for so many years, Fairy Yaoyuan's knowledge of the Emperor Eye would greatly benefit An Xing.
Time passed swiftly.
A million years had gone by since Fairy Yaoyuan entered Nothingness.
In the early morning, Gu An stood by the lake, practicing Tai Chi. His movements were slow, yet his posture exuded a graceful, fluid beauty.
As he practiced, he brought up his attribute panel.
【Name: Gu An】
【Life Span: 6,250,704 / 450,337,945,422,651】
【Constitution: Primal Infinite Creation Dao Body】
【Cultivation: Perfect Primordial Essence Immortal Realm】
...
Four hundred and fifty trillion years of Life Span!
He was still halfway to the ten quadrillion-year mark, but Gu An felt that relying solely on Life Span for his next breakthrough wouldn't be enough.
Fortunately, he currently had no formidable enemies. With the likes of Eternal Deity, Yang Jian, and Li Xuemiao, his relationship with the Heavenly Court was stable, and they were not at odds.
Violence and conflict didn't suit him. He preferred a peaceful and tranquil life, where he could do as he pleased and continuously grow stronger.
To him, Life Span was like an experience bar in a game. Watching it rise reassured him that he was on the right path to becoming stronger.
Practicing Tai Chi was something he enjoyed doing in his free time, refining the martial arts techniques from his previous life.
After a few rounds, the Tai Chi in his hands had evolved into an immortal dao technique, each move capable of shaking the Heavens and Earth.
A figure emerged from the woods behind him, it was Fairy Yaoyuan. She wore a white dress, her posture dignified, and though her expression was cool, she exuded a deep, inscrutable aura.
Only Gu An knew that Fairy Yaoyuan had yet to reveal her true personality. In Eternal Emperor's memories, Fairy Yaoyuan was extremely belligerent and arrogant. During their adventures, it was often Eternal Emperor who had to counsel her.
Perhaps her memories hadn't fully returned, or perhaps the passage of time had mellowed her. Since coming to Nothingness, Fairy Yaoyuan had been very composed, displaying the demeanor of a Grandmaster. Over the million years in Nothingness, she had gained a high level of respect. Apart from Gu An, no one knew her true nature.
She stood behind Gu An, watching him quietly.
"Is there something you need, Fairy?" Gu An asked, not stopping his movements.
Fairy Yaoyuan spoke, "Between the Great Dao Emperor and the Primordial Dao Emperor, who do you think is stronger?"
She was certain that Gu An was the Eternal Emperor, who had once been a Great Dao Emperor and was now cultivating as a Primordial Dao Emperor, a path that intrigued her.
There were already over ten Primordial Dao Emperors in the Wu Shi Training Ground, and through them, Fairy Yaoyuan had learned about the wonders of the Primordial Dao Emperor path, which left her captivated.
However, she was already a Great Dao Emperor. She wasn't sure if she could directly cultivate as a Primordial Dao Emperor or if she needed to first dispel the Qi Yun of her Great Dao Emperor status.
"Strength depends on the individual cultivator", Gu An replied, truly believing it.
The Primordial Dao Emperor path seemed to have the potential to surpass the Great Dao Emperor path, but that was only because it was easier to cultivate. There was no need for constant battles, and failure didn't mean death.
Even the most powerful beings didn't want to engage in endless battles with those of the same or higher realms.
Fairy Yaoyuan nodded slightly and continued, "During my time in Exile, I saw countless images and captured many evil thoughts. They involve great karma. Do you want to hear about them?"
"Sure, go ahead."
Gu An replied casually. No matter how great the karma, it would be isolated within the Wu Shi Training Ground. Outside, such karma could not be discussed, but inside, it was fair game.
Fairy Yaoyuan paused for a moment before saying, "I saw the evil thoughts of the Heavenly Court's Immortal Deities. Some Xianshen wish to perform blood sacrifices with the lives of mortals, some want to seize the position of the Heavenly Emperor, and there are others..."
"Others?"
"Others include the evil thoughts of the Heavenly Emperor."
Gu An stopped his movements, straightened his body, and turned to face her.
