Chapter 742: Zhang Buku's Obsession
Chapter 742: Zhang Buku's Obsession
"That malevolent entity calls itself the Heavenly Emperor. It is weary of everything it has created and hostile to everything it possesses. It even wants to destroy the Heavenly Dao itself. The sheer malice still terrifies me to this day. If this malevolent entity truly comes from the Heavenly Emperor, it would be an unimaginable catastrophe..."
As Fairy Yaoyuan spoke, her brows furrowed, and her eyes were filled with worry.
She had seen Xianshen and heard the mythical tales of the Heavenly Emperor. In the myths of the Three Thousand Great Worlds, the Heavenly Emperor is the supreme existence. Some myths even say that the Heavenly Emperor is the creator of all.
In any myth, the Heavenly Emperor is the pinnacle of existence, an entity that immortal cultivators can only look up to.
Gu An listened to Fairy Yaoyuan's words without doubt, and instead, he found it plausible.
The Heavenly Emperor had been invincible for too long, and the Heavenly Court's status was unshakable. Absolute power combined with an endless lifespan would make him accustomed to everything and everyone. After becoming accustomed, weariness sets in, and that could further lead to hostility.
Now, thinking about it, the Heavenly Emperor's indifference to the Emperor's Contention might just be for his own amusement.
Gu An could even predict the direction of the Emperor's Contention. How much more could the Heavenly Emperor see?
Knowing the impending disaster, the Heavenly Emperor still does not appear, perhaps because what is a catastrophe to the mortal world is just a bit of fun to him.
Of course, Gu An only thinks it's possible. Before he sees the Heavenly Emperor himself, he won't make any judgments.
"Why worry about something that hasn't happened? Even if it's true, what can we do about it?"
Gu An looked at Fairy Yaoyuan and spoke to comfort her.
The Primordial Essence Immortal can see far into the future, but he cannot see the end of the Heavenly Dao, nor can he judge the fate of the Great Dao.
Fairy Yaoyuan stared at Gu An and said, "You once pursued the Karma Dao. Now, with your profound cultivation, you hide in this small world. Isn't it because you fear the Heavenly Court?"
She had heard from Shen Zhen that the Eternal Emperor was once pursued by Xianshen and ultimately sacrificed himself to enter the Great Karma Stele. These events, in Fairy Yaoyuan's view, shaped the Gu An of today.
The Eternal Emperor was once full of spirit and courage, fearless and even arrogant in his actions.
Clearly, the Eternal Emperor did not die when he entered the Great Karma Stele, but because of the Xianshen, he began to hide his identity and cultivate in a small world. Only now, after achieving great cultivation, did he come to save her.
For this reason, Fairy Yaoyuan would not expose Gu An's disguise. If Gu An feared the Xianshen, why add to his troubles? She only needed to share information about the Heavenly Court with him.
Gu An listened to Fairy Yaoyuan's thoughts and felt quite helpless.
You really have a vivid imagination!
Gu An said seriously, "I have no grudges against the Heavenly Court. No matter what you speculate, you are wrong. I like my current life, and I am not a combative person."
Fairy Yaoyuan responded, "I also focus on cultivation and enjoy my current life. If you want to learn more about the Heavenly Court, I have other information to share with you."
"Perhaps not a bad idea..."
Gu An considered, knowing he couldn't deduce the malevolent entity Fairy Yaoyuan felt within the Great Dao Karma. He could only hear it from her or have her recall it.
Fairy Yaoyuan's face lit up with a smile at his words.
...
Above the cloud sea, the Heavenly Guardian walked ahead, followed by nine Heavenly Soldiers, including Zhang Buku and Xu You.
After millions of years, Zhang Buku and Xu You's auras had undergone a drastic change, now embodying the might of Heavenly Soldiers.
Zhang Buku was communicating telepathically with Xu You, curious about who they were going to meet.
"Probably to see Star Lord or Xian Lord."
Xu You's voice echoed in Zhang Buku's mind, filling his eyes with curiosity.
Zhang Buku was just beginning to understand the Heavenly Court and the ranks of the Immortal positions. The idea of achieving such a lofty status was thrilling.
If one wanted to become immortal, one had to strive for the top!
Meeting Star Lord or Xian Lord would be the best possible outcome.
Of course, he knew it was just a thought, as he was far from having the qualifications to speak to Star Lord, let alone to meet Xian Lord.
"Whenever we meet anyone, you must kneel. Understand?"
The Heavenly Guardian's voice came from the front, stern and serious.
"Understood!"
The nine Heavenly Soldiers responded in unison, their voices a testament to the tacit understanding formed over millions of years, and the Guardian's words also heightened their tension.
After about the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the Heavenly Guardian suddenly knelt down. The nine Heavenly Soldiers quickly followed, forming a line behind him.
Zhang Buku scanned the horizon, where the cloud sea stretched endlessly, vast and magnificent. There was no sign of any Immortal or even a building.
Where was Star Lord?
Zhang Buku's mind was full of confusion when a terrifying Heavenly Majesty descended, causing the Heavenly Soldiers to pale.
They all looked up, eyes wide and mouths agape.
A colossal golden mountain descended from the sky, its overwhelming presence crushing the cloud sea, sending waves of energy rippling out.
In the face of this golden mountain, the nine Heavenly Soldiers felt their blood churn and their spirits oppressed.
Before they could react, another golden mountain descended from the sky, followed by more and more.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
Heaven and Earth rumbled and shook, the golden mountains stacking one upon another, rapidly forming a Heavenly Ascension Steps that seemed to stretch endlessly into the sky. Even the nine Heavenly Soldiers, who had reached the Luotian Zizai Immortal Realm, could not see the top.
"The Heavenly Ascension Steps, this is the only path to the Heavenly Realm. Even Celestial Deities do not have the right to step on it. Each step is filled with immense Heavenly Majesty, impossible to force one's way through."
Xu You's voice reached Zhang Buku's ears.
At that moment, Zhang Buku stared dumbfounded at the Heavenly Ascension Steps, his mind in shock and his thoughts blank.
The other seven Heavenly Soldiers were similarly stunned. They had never seen such a breathtaking sight, and the Heavenly Majesty that made their souls tremble gave them an overwhelming urge to kneel.
When the rumbling finally ceased, Zhang Buku regained his senses.
He saw a brilliant light at the top of the Heavenly Ascension Steps, like a sun hanging above, and a figure slowly stepped out, descending the steps.
He could not make out the figure's true appearance, but his heart pounded like a drum.
A sudden resolve formed in his mind.
He wanted to step onto the Heavenly Ascension Steps!
He wanted to become a true Immortal!
He wanted to stand in the Heavenly Realm and look down upon all the worlds!
His desire to become immortal had never been stronger.
The Heavenly Guardian also looked up, remaining silent as he waited for the Immortal to descend.
The mysterious Immortal did not move quickly. As he descended more steps, his form grew immensely large, like a primordial god of the Heavenly Realms descending into the Mortal World, casting a tremendous Oppressive Feeling over the nine Heavenly Soldiers.
"I am Immortal Lord Yin Xuan. Are you the Heavenly Guardian?"
A cold voice descended from the sky, and the Heavenly Guardian quickly responded, "I am the Heavenly Guardian. What does the Immortal Lord require of me?"
His body was tense, clearly not expecting to meet an Immortal Lord.
