Chapter 804: Above the Xianshen
Chapter 804: Above the Xianshen
The Three Thousand Great Worlds launched a massive counteroffensive, and Grand Immortal Tai Xian summoned the Chaos Demons to battle, causing immense suffering across all the worlds. As the Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign began his counterattack, various local forces in the major worlds started to overthrow Grand Immortal Tai Xian's rule.
The Primordial Divine Sparrow flew over the Three Thousand Great Worlds, seen by countless beings. The masses believed that the Primordial Divine Sparrow brought victory and hope, and shrines and temples dedicated to the Primordial Divine Sparrow sprang up like mushrooms after rain.
The Primordial Divine Sparrow earned many titles.
In the years that followed, even Gu An, far away in the Wushi Dao Field, could feel the special Faithborn Qi Yun surging toward him, a result of the masses' faith in the Primordial Divine Sparrow.
This faith-generated Qi Yun was extremely complex, capable of aiding his cultivation, creating magical artifacts, and other wonders—truly all-encompassing.
No wonder the Xianshen sought the incense offerings from the Mortal World.
It's worth noting that the merit did not belong to the Heavenly Dao.
Gu An stored this merit directly within the Primordial Divine Sparrow, keeping it for future use. He did not plan to rely on merit to enhance his own cultivation but kept it as a precaution for other purposes.
In the years that followed, the Heavenly Spirit Grand World remained relatively stable, but the Three Thousand Great Worlds plunged into unprecedented chaos. The more oppression Grand Immortal Tai Xian brought, the more intense the emotions the masses released now.
However, without a powerful combatant like Gu An, the Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign would need more time to annex all of Grand Immortal Tai Xian's vast worlds.
In the blink of an eye, three thousand years passed.
Gu An sat in a bamboo grove, boiling water for tea while gazing at the Three Thousand Great Worlds. After so many years of counteroffensive, about 60% of the major worlds had fallen under the control of the Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign. The morale of Grand Immortal Tai Xian's forces plummeted, and they suffered continuous defeats. More and more Xianshen abandoned their support for Grand Immortal Tai Xian, while the number of Xianshen supporting the Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign grew, including many new faces.
Xianshen, despite their divine status, still possessed human traits. Seeing the Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign's impending victory, many Xianshen wanted to add their own contributions to ensure the victory. To stabilize the situation, under the persuasion of Elder Immortal Ci Xuan, the Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign chose to accept the assistance of these Xianshen, even sharing the benefits with them and allowing them to spread their doctrines in the Mortal World.
What seemed like a personal dispute between two Celestial Emperors was, for many Xianshen, a rare opportunity.
Each Xianshen had their own Celestial Authority, and they couldn't simply descend to the Mortal World to spread their doctrines. This was why one Xianshen had to rely on dreams to spread his teachings, as he could not personally descend.
Gu An watched the actions of these Xianshen as if observing a play, while at the same time contemplating his next breakthrough plan.
With so much Life Span, he could comprehensively enhance himself. However, he felt that his current Dao techniques were already strong and sufficient, as he had not yet felt any pressure from peers in his realm.
But when he thought about the Heavenly Emperor Reincarnation that Gu Xuan You had encountered, he changed his mind.
No way!
He not only needed to have higher cultivation but also far superior combat strength compared to his peers!
True invincibility isn’t about being unbeatable in one-on-one combat; it’s about facing any number of enemies and still remaining unvanquished.
Gu An even began to speculate that the Heavenly Court might have multiple Heavenly Emperors. After all, the position of Heavenly Emperor could be passed down, and what if an ancient Heavenly Emperor hadn’t died?
As Gu An pondered, two figures emerged from the bamboo grove: An Zizai and Zhuang Xian.
Zhuang Xian had been out training for three thousand years. Apart from his slightly worn clothing, his appearance and spirit remained largely unchanged.
The two approached Gu An and bowed.
An Zizai said, "Great Grandmaster, Zhuang Xian has returned from his training. Do you have any instructions for him?"
He asked this because he hoped Gu An would take a liking to Zhuang Xian and personally mentor the young man. Being able to learn directly from Gu An would certainly allow Zhuang Xian to surpass other disciples. For instance, among the younger generations, there were many with greater talent and insight than An Zizai, but no one below the Second Generation Disciples could challenge his strength and status.
Zhuang Xian looked at Gu An, but he wasn’t particularly agitated. Instead, he appeared very composed.
Gu An raised his eyes to examine Zhuang Xian and asked, "Did you encounter any insurmountable challenges during your training?"
Zhuang Xian replied, "Yes, many. My cultivation is too weak, and my ability to help others is limited. There are many malevolent sects I need to eliminate. I will cultivate diligently and go out again in the future."
He didn’t directly ask Gu An for help, which earned him a new level of respect from An Zizai. In fact, An Zizai had been observing him for years and knew all about his experiences.
Zhuang Xian had raged and lost his mind at times, but after returning to Nothingness, he became very calm. He wouldn’t let others help him achieve his will.
"Have you ever regretted anything?"
"Yes, I believed the lies of a treacherous person, thinking she would truly reform. As a result, more people were harmed. Even though I eventually killed her, it couldn’t change the facts. I swear, I will never show mercy again."
"Has anything ever shaken your beliefs?"
"Yes, I know someone who upholds justice and helps mortal souls, whether they are humans or untransformed beasts. He does this without seeking any reward. He has saved many mortal souls, but in the immortal cultivation world, he is considered a demon, using cultivators to create soulbanners. He is notorious. I don’t know how to define whether he is good or evil."
As he spoke, Zhuang Xian’s expression grew complex.
Gu An smiled and said, "It seems you’ve gained a lot. You may go."
Zhuang Xian immediately bowed and then turned to leave.
An Zizai was taken aback. He alternated his gaze between Zhuang Xian’s departing figure and Gu An, hesitating to speak.
"He is a good candidate. Don’t worry; I will teach him the Dao when the time is right. He himself feels that he is not ready yet."
Gu An picked up the teapot and said softly.
An Zizai smiled, knowing that with Gu An’s words, Zhuang Xian’s future achievements would be significant. He hurriedly thanked Gu An and left without further disturbance.
After An Zizai departed, Gu An decided to break through to the next realm the next day. He had already begun to imagine the realm above the Primordial Profound Venerable Immortal.
As night fell, Gu An finally got up and returned to his courtyard. As usual, he chatted with Shen Zhen about trivial matters.
Elsewhere.
Zhuang Xian sat in meditation in his cave dwelling. The oil lamp on the wall illuminated the spacious cave, which had a small lake and a medicinal garden, adding to its beauty.
Zhuang Xian suddenly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and raised his right hand. His palm was black, and his expression became peculiar.
"Since returning to Nothingness, this power has calmed down. Could it be afraid of the Dao Intent within Nothingness?"
Zhuang Xian muttered to himself. He recalled that when facing the Ancestor, he could feel the mysterious power in his palm become extremely tense, as if it wanted to shrink into a point.
He had been troubled by how to overcome the temptation of this power, but now it seemed that as long as he stayed in Nothingness, he didn’t need to worry about it.
