Chapter 783: A Doomed Conclusion
Chapter 783: A Doomed Conclusion
Upon hearing Elder Immortal Ci Xuan mention Celestial Emperor Xuan Qing, An Hao's true identity, Gu An's expression remained unchanged.
"Since you've made your decision, I wish you the best of luck."
Gu An lifted his wine glass and smiled softly.
As long as the Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign didn't insist, they could be friends.
If he did insist, Gu An wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson.
In the Heavenly Court, aside from the Heavenly Emperor, only a few Supreme Beings of Heavenly Dao had reached the rank of Primordial Profound Venerable Immortal. This was Gu An's confidence.
Even if the Heavenly Court were to attack, he could teleport the Nine Spirits Continent with a single thought. If he wished, he could even take the Heavenly Spirit Grand World and escape deep into the Chaos.
The scope of Heavenly Dao was vast, with Qi Yun covering an endless expanse, but no matter how wide Heavenly Dao spread, it still couldn't match the Great Dao. There were always places where Heavenly Dao couldn't reach.
The Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign narrowed his eyes and stared intently at Gu An. Elder Immortal Ci Xuan didn't know what to say and could only raise his glass to drink with Gu An.
While drinking, Elder Immortal Ci Xuan gave the Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign a meaningful look, signaling him not to act rashly.
At least Gu An hadn't shown any particular fondness for Grand Immortal Tai Xian. While it was regrettable that he couldn't be swayed, it was crucial not to turn him into an enemy.
Afterward, Gu An and Elder Immortal Ci Xuan began to chat casually, avoiding the topic of the Emperor's Contention and instead discussing the myriad worlds.
The Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign remained silent, drinking alone as if lost in his thoughts.
After a long while, Elder Immortal Ci Xuan sighed and said, "Ancestor, you have eradicated the Dark Deity for this world, earning great merit. Why not join the Heavenly Court as a Celestial Official?"
He was probing Gu An's opinion of the Heavenly Court.
Gu An shook his head and laughed, "If I were a Celestial Official, I would have a specific role. I prefer my current carefree life. Moreover, staying in this world allows me to handle any calamities that arise. If I were to join the Heavenly Court, I might not be able to resolve the troubles it faces."
"Furthermore, one of my disciples has already joined the celestial ranks, fulfilling my aspiration to become immortal."
Elder Immortal Ci Xuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Oh? May I ask which disciple you're referring to?"
Gu An replied, "His name is Yang Jian, recommended for immortality by the Eternal Deity."
Eternal Deity!
The expressions of the Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign and Elder Immortal Ci Xuan subtly changed.
Elder Immortal Ci Xuan didn't press further but praised Yang Jian, saying he must be exceptionally talented for the Eternal Deity to recommend him.
They continued chatting, the topics varied, until dusk when Elder Immortal Ci Xuan finally stood to take his leave. As he was about to go, the Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign finally spoke.
"Ancestor, it seems you don't trust me. I will show you that I will win. When I achieve victory, I still welcome your support, and we can even share the Cosmic Creation Lotus."
The Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign stared at Gu An, his eyes burning with absolute confidence and an aura of invincibility.
Gu An smiled, "Thank you, Your Highness. I will wait to see you triumph."
The Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign's lips curled upward, and he left with Elder Immortal Ci Xuan.
Gu An stood up, turned to look at the distant heavenly dome, and watched them depart.
Under his gaze, the fate of the Emperor's Contention had already begun to shift.
Throughout the entire encounter, neither the Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign nor Elder Immortal Ci Xuan had shown any hostility toward Gu An, nor had they become karmic enemies. This was why Gu An had been amiable.
In fact, compared to Grand Immortal Tai Xian, Gu An preferred the Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign to win. Grand Immortal Tai Xian's cultivation of the Demon God Body and his use of the Moroc Clan in the war seemed highly sinister. Gu An even suspected that Grand Immortal Tai Xian might be connected to the Chaos.
Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign was different. Under his command were Heavenly Soldiers, with no Chaos Demons in sight and no Mortal Souls being sacrificed. In terms of conduct, Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign was far more upright and noble.
Unfortunately, even if fate were to change, Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign would still lose.
Zhang Buku fought for Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign, and Gu An needed to figure out how to save him.
Zhu Xi, from the Taiwei Great World, supported Grand Immortal Tai Xian. Even if she deliberately stepped back, it made no difference. However, her ending was good, as she would have the opportunity to join the ranks of immortals.
In the future, more old friends would join the ranks of immortals, and all of this was because of Gu An.
Without him, people like Zhang Buku and Zhu Xi would never have come this far, even if Zhu Xi’s predecessor was Sage Heaven.
No matter how strong Sage Heaven’s blessings were, it was still difficult to transcend the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
Gu An did not find these matters troublesome. He also used this process to comprehend the Karma Great Dao.
"Next, I should start the projection. I cannot stop my pursuit of the Great Dao."
Gu An thought to himself, a smile spreading across his face.
Even as the Three Thousand Great Worlds were embroiled in war, he quietly grew stronger, unnoticed by the Heavenly Court. This feeling, even after millions of years, remained wonderfully exhilarating.
No one knew just how powerful he had become, and behind the scenes, he continued to grow stronger without limit. Only he truly understood the depth of this transformation.
On the other side.
Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign and Elder Immortal Ci Xuan arrived in the Heavenly Realms, flying towards the Realm Gate.
"Your Highness, do you really want to court him?" Elder Immortal Ci Xuan asked curiously.
Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign looked straight ahead and said, "Yes. The situation in the Nine Spirits Continent and the Heavenly Spirit Grand World has given me a favorable impression of him. He is a true follower of the Dao, seeing through the Mortal World and controlling his desires. Such a person is more suited to becoming an immortal. Nowadays, the Heavenly Court is filled with despicable immortals who are tarnishing its image. I am deeply dissatisfied, but my power is not enough to change this."
Elder Immortal Ci Xuan sighed. "The Primordial Ancestor indeed has the demeanor of a Dao follower. However, in my view, even if Your Highness wins, he will not come, and he will not be swayed by the Cosmic Creation Lotus."
Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign did not question this and remained silent.
The two immortals quickly vanished into the depths of the void.
Their arrival and departure went unnoticed by the masses. Tao Ji Yuan, Chen Chuan, and others were aware, but they did not know the identities of Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign and Elder Immortal Ci Xuan. This encounter left them filled with a sense of mystery.
Time flowed like a great river, ceaseless and irreversible.
The Three Thousand Great Worlds were in constant conflict, while the Heavenly Spirit Grand World remained peaceful. The Heavenly Dao Light Layer that enveloped the world continued to grow, symbolizing the increasing strength of immortal cultivation in this realm.
Besides the Heavenly Spirit Grand World, many other planes were also at peace, even in silence.
For example, the Great Dao River, where each of the Three Thousand Great Daos had its own river, existing independently of the world, accessible only to those who had comprehended the Dao.
...
In the darkness, the River of Destiny emitted a Qicai Halo, a breathtaking sight. Threads of Great Dao energy coursed through the river.
Deep within the River of Destiny, a figure surrounded by a silver glow sat in meditation. He suddenly opened his eyes, which were cold and icy, with countless stars flickering in his pupils.
He was Lu Qiuxian, trapped in the River of Destiny.
Lu Qiuxian spoke slowly, "You, again. Do you think you have the strength to defeat me now?"
