Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses-Chapter 739 - 731: The Celestial Emperor’s Only Mount
Chapter 739 -731: The Celestial Emperor’s Only Mount
Time flies like an arrow; five hundred thousand years have passed since Li Xianyou left.
Within the Daoist Field of the Beginningless.
Gu An sat by the lake painting. What he painted was a landscape, but his thoughts drifted outside of the Nine Spirit Continent.
Li Ya had shown extraordinary comprehension in the ways of the Primordial Dao Emperor, achieving such a level in just five hundred thousand years. During this period, he hadn’t sparred with others, instead immersing himself in his cultivation.
Even though he remained low-key, his disciple Li Xianyou, on the other hand, stirred up trouble.
Li Xianyou fell in love with a woman, but that woman had been betrothed by her family. She left her family to escape the engagement and then coincidentally met Li Xianyou.
The two decided to face the pressure from her family together, but by a twist of fate, the woman was forced to her death within her family. Now, not only did her family want to kill Li Xianyou, but also the family that she had been betrothed to sought his death to avenge their honor.
Both families were ancient and formidable, each boasting ancestors at the Daoist Collection Freedom Immortal Realm.
Gu An watched silently; he wasn’t worried about Li Xianyou getting into trouble because Li Ya would intervene.
The upcoming battle for his disciple’s rescue would see Li Ya exhibit a Sword Dao that would shock the world, establishing him as the foremost Sword Cultivator in the world. In the future, he would also become the preeminent Great Cultivator known to the world in the Celestial Spirit Great World.
Li Ya would glorify the Primordial Dao Emperor, making it a target for future cultivators to aspire to.
Besides Li Ya, Gu An also kept an eye on others. He saw Zhang Buku following the Celestial Calming God descending into the void between the Three Thousand Great Worlds, deeply focused on his cultivation.
With the assistance of the Taiqing Golden Immortal, Zhu Xi was also gradually gaining control over the Taiwei Great World.
The Taiwei Great World had deep foundations. With Zhu Xi’s power, he originally couldn’t have become the Master of Heaven and Earth, but because the Taiqing annihilated the Divine Court, causing those Great Cultivators to have reservations, fearing Taiqing’s return to create more trouble, they wanted to use the Holy Court as a shield, providing Zhu Xi the opportunity.
When the struggle for the Son of Heaven began, these ancient powers would launch an offensive against the Holy Court to regain old powers. Of course, that was future talk; for now, Zhu Xi could remain the world’s master for a long period.
Gu An, while observing the Outer Heaven, continued painting, each stroke imbued with Dao Intent, making everything in the painting appear vivid, with the plants and flowers seeming to sway in the wind, as if they genuinely existed.
The Blood Prison Great Saint approached Gu An with a fawning smile, saying, “Master, the talents from the Nine Spirit Continent are increasing. Many people are seeking us out. When do you think we can open the gates of Wushi?”
Gu An replied nonchalantly, “Why? Do you also wish to take in disciples?”
“Not me. I’m your mount; how can I take in disciples? It would mess up the generational hierarchy in the future, creating significant trouble. I just feel that Wushi should expand, especially since the Nine Spirit Continent has developed a solid foundation over these years.” The Blood Prison Great Saint laughed.
The stronger Wushi became, the more he would benefit. Thinking of numerous Wushi disciples admiring him made him excited.
He even had bigger ambitions.
He aspired to become the sole mount of the Celestial Emperor!
Gu An said softly, “Once this gate is opened, it will be like a surging river that cannot be stopped.”
“Master, why block it? If you’re afraid of trouble, you can let An Xin and us manage it. If you’re worried about the younger generations causing chaos, you can establish strict sect rules,” the Blood Prison Great Saint asked, puzzled.
He never considered that Gu An was wary of the Celestial Court.
In his heart, Gu An was the strongest, and Wushi’s distance from the Celestial Court was unfathomable.
Besides, there were many sects more powerful than Wushi in the world, yet they hadn’t faced divine retribution.
Gu An was also pondering over problems.
Though he always said he didn’t want to establish a force, in reality, he continuously took steps towards it.
Moreover, he couldn’t always shield his disciples; it was time for them to stand on their own.
Seeing Gu An stay silent, the Blood Prison Great Saint stopped speaking and gazed at his painting.
“This painting…”
The Blood Prison Great Saint’s eyes lit up. Though the painting depicted the scenery ahead, he saw the vast Three Thousand Great Dao within it.
The rivers of Dao surged, ceaselessly flowing, like a kaleidoscope of myriad scenes before his eyes.
Gu An stopped his brush and handed the brush to the Blood Prison Great Saint.
“You will finish the next part of the painting, and then show it to me.”
Leaving these words behind, Gu An turned and left, the Blood Prison Great Saint holding the brush, his eyes filled with anticipation.
He immediately forgot about Wushi’s expansion, focusing solely on painting.
Gu An walked into the mountains and arrived at the other end of the Human World.
Human World Peak, Heaven-Defining Peak.
Over three million years had passed, and he remained the Peak Master of Heaven-Defining Peak. He hadn’t intervened much in Human World Peak, and hence, Human World Peak had not become a top Major Sect of the present age.
The strongest of Human World Peak was merely at the Free Immortal Realm. Fortunately, the Peak Master Yongnian Daoist Monarch had no desire for supremacy, only wishing to consolidate the Daoist Lineage.
Precisely due to this ideology, time passed quickly for Human World Peak.
Gu An had just arrived when Yongnian Daoist Monarch appeared in his courtyard. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
“Peak Master, you’ve been waiting for me?”
While picking medicinal herbs, Gu An asked.
Yongnian Daoist Monarch couldn’t catch his presence, but could perceive the movements within the courtyard, of course, this was also because Gu An wasn’t deliberately hiding.
He had countless ways to prevent Yongnian Daoist Monarch from noticing his arrival.
Yongnian Daoist Monarch donned a white Taoist robe, exuding an immortal aura. His smile was kind and approachable. Within Human World Peak, he was deeply loved by the disciples, who all believed him to be a good person.
“Indeed, I have encountered some confusion recently and wish to seek your guidance.”
Yongnian Daoist Monarch said with a joyful smile. Gu An returned once a month, and over time, the two had become friends, at least that’s what Yongnian Daoist Monarch thought.
Since knowing Gu An, he had always found him mysterious, suspecting his cultivation was exceedingly high. By now, he even thought Gu An might be a Daoist Collection Free Immortal, as even the Free Immortals in their sect couldn’t detect Gu An’s movements.
To him, a Daoist Collection Free Immortal was an immense existence, although there were still the Profound Yuan Free Immortal, Heaven-Encompassing Free Immortal in the world.
As for the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable, that was for him an unimaginable legend.
Gu An didn’t stop his hands, casually asking, “What confusion would I be capable of resolving?”
Yongnian Daoist Monarch laughed, “It’s about the Primordial Dao Emperor. Didn’t I mention before that I obtained an opportunity related to the Primordial Dao Emperor? I intended to give it to you, but you refused. I believe you are the Primordial Dao Emperor, so your Dao practice is unfathomable, not concerned with the Primordial Dao Emperor’s opportunity.”
Gu An didn’t respond.
The opportunity related to the Primordial Dao Emperor wasn’t given by him to Yongnian Daoist Monarch. With the continuous emergence of Primordial Crystals across the Three Thousand Great Worlds, the Celestial Spirit Great World had them too, and Yongnian Daoist Monarch had acquired one.
One could say Yongnian Daoist Monarch indeed had no small amount of fortune.
“Alright, I haven’t achieved the Primordial Dao Emperor either; I just explored it earlier than you.” Gu An responded helplessly.
Yongnian Daoist Monarch smiled even more, “As expected, you are hidden in the Human World Peak, probably to better achieve enlightenment, right?”
