Chapter 758: Daoji Lectures on Dao
Time continued to rush by, and the ceaseless river of years continually produced heroes. Some met with defeat and ruin, while others continued to strive and advance.
The chaotic background of the Under Heaven was a torment for Mortal Souls, but for many Immortal Cultivators, it was a rare opportunity. However, the opportunities that required competition often hid the abyss of death behind them.
Another million years passed.
Gu An, who was now 11,560,000 years old, was instructing a seventh-generation disciple.
Indeed, Nothingness had already reached its seventh generation. Since Taking Disciples was already permitted, Gu An didn’t overly restrict his descendants from Taking Disciples. The only requirement was that they could only take one disciple, and only after that disciple had matured could they consider taking a second.
Although Nothingness did not engage in secular disputes, the towering Worlds Gate stood as a symbol of pride for all disciples. Without Gu An’s instructions, they were very strict in Taking Disciples. Ordinary geniuses couldn’t even catch their attention; they would only take those who could vie for the top spot among their peers.
Duan Li was very excited. He never expected that while practicing in the forest today, he would be noticed by the Ancestor of Nothingness, who would even guide him. He was so overjoyed that he felt a bit dizzy and didn’t hear much of what Gu An said, his mind turning to mush.
Gu An was helpless. How could this boy be so easily excited? He hadn’t even heard clearly and was already responding.
"If you don’t calm down, I’ll leave", Gu An said sternly, which immediately startled Duan Li.
What am I doing!
Duan Li broke out in a cold sweat and stammered, "Ancestor, I’m sorry, I’m just too excited. I really didn’t mean to..."
He was on the verge of tears.
In the Wushi Dao Field, he had only seen Gu An a few times over the decades. This was his first time speaking with Gu An, and the Ancestor was even guiding him in cultivation. If he displeased Gu An, his master, Great Grandmaster, and even the Great Great Grandmaster would not forgive him.
"How about this? I’ll teach you a new set of cultivation techniques. What do you think?" Gu An suddenly said.
Duan Li dared not refuse and quickly thanked Gu An.
Gu An let Duan Li kneel. He raised his right hand, pointing his index finger at Duan Li’s forehead. As Duan Li looked up, his pupils suddenly dilated, and he fell into a trance.
Gu An withdrew his hand, walked around Duan Li, and headed out of the training ground. It was time to go and gather the mature herbs.
Half an hour later, Duan Li shuddered and snapped out of his trance. He quickly stood up, looked around, and called out for the Ancestor.
"Stop making noise. Do you think you can call the Ancestor whenever you want?"
An impatient voice came from the depths of the forest. A figure emerged, and when Duan Li saw his face, his expression changed drastically. He hurriedly bent down and bowed.
"Great Grandmaster Lu!"
Duan Li said respectfully, his body tense.
Lu Xian walked up to him and asked with a frown, "Why did you shout for the Ancestor?"
Today, he had nothing to do and decided to wander around. By some strange impulse, he came to this forest. He didn’t have a deep impression of Duan Li, only remembering that he was a seventh-generation disciple, as the number of Wushi Disciples had already grown significantly.
"Earlier, the Ancestor transmitted a cultivation technique to me, and I wanted to thank him", Duan Li answered honestly. There had never been a precedent of disciples harming each other in Nothingness, so Duan Li didn’t guard himself against his seniors. He answered whatever the Great Grandmaster asked.
"Oh?"
Lu Xian raised an eyebrow. He believed Duan Li wouldn’t lie, after all, this was the Wushi Dao Field. However, the Master hadn’t Taken Disciples in many years and certainly wouldn’t guide his descendants in cultivation.
Could this boy be different from others?
Duan Li felt extremely uneasy under Lv Xian's gaze. He wanted to escape but didn't dare to offend the Grandmaster.
Lv Xian couldn't see anything special about Duan Li, so he casually asked, "What is the cultivation technique your Master passed down to you called?"
His Master had created many cultivation techniques, and the type of technique could indicate how much the Master valued the disciple.
"It's called the Fate-defying Divine Technique", Duan Li replied cautiously.
Fate-defying Divine Technique!
Lv Xian was stunned, standing there in shock.
Wasn't this the technique his father, Lu Baitian, cultivated?
His father had been dead for a long time, and Lv Xian rarely thought about him.
From a young age, he harbored hatred for his father because of the other soul within him, even wanting to kill him with his own hands. However, he gradually came to see things differently.
Due to his busy life, he missed his father's funeral. On the surface, he seemed indifferent, but deep down, it left a thorn in his heart.
He never expected his Master to remember his father...
Lv Xian thought back to the distant past when Lu Baitian often discussed with him how to cultivate Gu An into the next leader of the sect.
Those days were long gone, and he almost forgot the specific circumstances, with his father's face becoming increasingly blurred.
"Grandmaster Lv? Is something wrong?"
Duan Li asked nervously, his heart filled with unease. Could the Fate-defying Divine Technique be something significant?
He trusted that the Ancestor would not harm him, but he was afraid that the technique might be too powerful for him to handle.
Lv Xian snapped back to reality, a complex smile on his face. "Nothing, just cultivate diligently. Being chosen by the Master is a great blessing, so cherish it. If you dishonor this technique, I will be the first to hold you accountable."
These words made Duan Li's legs tremble, causing Lv Xian to shake his head with a smile before turning and leaving.
He needed to reflect on the past to avoid forgetting his roots.
Lv Xian suddenly understood why his Master often seemed lost in thought, perhaps recalling the past to always remember who he was.
In the days that followed, the news of Duan Li receiving the technique from Gu An spread throughout the training ground, piquing the curiosity of all the disciples. Even the second-generation disciples summoned him to assess his talent and insight.
Unfortunately, Duan Li did not display any exceptional talent compared to the other disciples. However, this did not disappoint the disciples; rather, it made them even more eager.
The Master would never make a mistake in judgment. Even if this boy lacked talent, being remembered by the Master meant he would surely stand out in the future.
Ten years passed quickly.
Since passing down the technique to Duan Li, Gu An had not visited him again.
This morning, he heard a powerful being from the Endless Dao Mountain calling out to deliver a lecture, which piqued his interest, and he decided to go listen.
This powerful being was Daoji Grand Immortal, whose Dao cultivation was profound, and listening to his lecture would definitely be beneficial.
However, Gu An's main body needed to gather medicinal herbs, so he sent a clone to attend, suppressing its cultivation to the Heaven-Opening Grand Immortal Realm.
The clone moved swiftly and soon entered the territory of the Endless Dao Mountain.
In the dim Heavens and Earth, the majestic Dao mountains loomed in the spiritual fog, mysterious and solemn.
Gu An flew toward an old acquaintance, Hongyazi, who had been very welcoming when they first met, introducing him to many Dao companions. Now that Hongyazi was here, Gu An naturally went to see him.
Upon arriving at the Dao mountain where the lecture was to be held, Gu An quickly spotted Hongyazi, who, as before, was chatting and laughing with several cultivators, enjoying himself.
Hongyazi immediately noticed Gu An and exclaimed in surprise, "Menglang, it's been a long time!"
