Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses-Chapter 766 - 758: Jiang Rulai, Beyond the Heavenly Dao

Chapter 766 -758: Jiang Rulai, Beyond the Heavenly Dao

Looking at Hongya Zi, Gu An smiled and nodded at him. Hongya Zi, after saying a few words to those around him, flew towards Gu An.

It had been millions of years since their last meeting, and Hongya Zi was as enthusiastic as ever, holding Gu An’s hand and having endless things to talk about.

Gu An knew that the Misty Immortal Court had had a rough time over the years. The Son of Heaven had been putting pressure on them, hoping they would participate in the struggle for the Son of Heaven, but the Misty Immortal Court had its own pride and repeatedly refused. The Son of Heaven’s patience had worn thin, and this put great pressure on the Misty Immortal Court.

Hongya Zi came to unwind and had no intention of getting involved in the matters of the Misty Immortal Court.

The two chatted for a while and then ascended Dao Mountain together. Along the way, Hongya Zi introduced Gu An to this Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal named Jiang Rulai, who was born in the Primordial Emperor Domain. He had once been part of the Immortal Class, later reincarnated and started his cultivation anew, breaking free from the Celestial Court’s destiny. No one knew how long he had lived.

When Hongya Zi was young, he had heard of Jiang Rulai’s name. His admiration for Jiang Rulai clearly surpassed that for the White-haired Ancestor.

After ascending the mountain, the two arrived at Jiang Rulai’s dojo, which was vast and already filled with many people meditating. They found a corner and sat down.

Listening to Hongya Zi recount Jiang Rulai’s deeds, Gu An looked forward to seeing Jiang Rulai even more.

Although Gu An’s cultivation level was higher than Jiang Rulai’s, he likely had not lived as long as Jiang Rulai. Even the venerable Gu Xuan You had lived through accelerated periods to achieve enlightenment, which requires the accumulation of years.

Perhaps the conversation grew deeper, as Hongya Zi couldn’t help lamenting the Misty Immortal Court’s stance towards the Celestial Court.

Many of their fellow Immortals who had ascended urged them to submit, but if the Misty Immortal Court became the lackeys of the Son of Heaven, their status would surely decline, unless this Son of Heaven truly became the Celestial Emperor. Otherwise, the path in the Celestial Court for the Misty Immortal Court would only get narrower.

Hongya Zi couldn’t understand what those fellow Immortals were thinking, being so bold as to gamble the fate of the Misty Immortal Court.

“Perhaps they have their reasons,” Gu An comforted him.

Hongya Zi thought the same but was still filled with dissatisfaction towards those fellow Immortal Gods.

Time passed quickly.

A full hundred years passed before Jiang Rulai descended. By then, the dojo had gathered hundreds of thousands of listeners, a grand scale with the lowest cultivation level being Heaven-Balancing Golden Immortal.

Jiang Rulai was enveloped in Dao Light, with only Gu An able to see his true form.

This person had skin like white jade, a face difficult to distinguish between male and female, with an extreme coldness between the eyebrows. Wearing a golden robe and a crown with golden horns resembling a Flood Dragon, he appeared like a supreme divine king descending, with a Dharma Aspect of the world behind him, exuding overwhelming dominance.

Because of the Dao Light surrounding him, other listeners could not see Jiang Rulai’s true form, but this did not prevent them from being shocked by his aura.

The moment Jiang Rulai appeared, the entire dojo fell silent.

“I have traveled through Chaos and Hongmeng and gained much insight. Today, I will expound the Dao of Creation for you all,” Jiang Rulai’s voice resounded, his tone indifferent but carrying immense authority that left no room for doubt.

Creation?

Gu An was intrigued and began to look forward to Jiang Rulai’s lecture.

Without further ado, Jiang Rulai began his lecture. The vast Dao Intent, as immense as the ocean, enveloped the entire dojo, making all the listeners feel as if they were journeying through Chaos along with Jiang Rulai.

Chaos was even more vast than the Dao Universe, with chaotic spiritual energy surging, everything appearing bizarre and fantastical, and seeming to have Immortal Spirits traversing without leaving any traces.

Gu An was also immersed in it.

This lecture lasted thirty thousand years.

After thirty thousand years, all the listeners felt as if they had been abruptly pulled out of a dream, feeling a sense of loss.

Gu An looked up at Jiang Rulai, who still sat high on the Dao Platform, radiating boundless Dao Light, unrivaled in the world.

Sitting beside him, Hongya Zi opened his eyes, and after a brief moment of confusion, showed a look of longing.

“Such vast Creation Dao. If I could obtain even one-tenth of his achievement, I could surpass my current realm obstacle,” Hongya Zi praised, and Gu An nodded slightly, not saying a word.

He noticed that Jiang Rulai was gazing at a certain place outside Endless Dao Mountain with a serious look, seemingly on guard against something.

Far away in the Daoist Field of the Beginningless, Gu An’s true self followed Jiang Rulai’s gaze, crossing countless universes and arriving outside the Heavenly Dao, close to the void near Chaos, where a deep red mist was approaching the Heavenly Dao.

Oh?

Gu An’s true self raised an eyebrow. He could sense the incredibly terrifying power within that deep red mist. It should be noted that he was now at the peak of the Xuan Qi Primordial Immortal Realm. If something could make him feel threatened, it was certainly not simple.

Looking towards the Celestial Court, as expected, a large number of Immortal Gods were flying towards the Palace of the Polestar, obviously startled by this mysterious force.

Since the Celestial Court was already paying attention, Gu An did not need to worry too much.

The Celestial Spirit Great World was located at the edge of the Three Thousand Great Worlds, not within the range of the Celestial Dao Destiny. For this mysterious force to threaten the Celestial Spirit Great World, it would first have to break through the Celestial Court’s layer of destiny. For the Celestial Court, destiny was its lifeblood, and it would certainly not let it have its way.

Vaguely, Gu An saw some unseen and untouchable threads of cause and effect within the deep red mist, connecting with the Three Thousand Great Worlds of the Heavenly Dao.

With his cultivation level, it was difficult to perceive these threads of cause and effect without careful observation. It must be known that he primarily cultivated the Way of Cause and Effect.

“No wonder I have always felt there would be changes in the struggle for the Son of Heaven. It turns out the changes come from outside the Heavenly Dao,” Gu An thought silently. Although this crisis was not directed at him, he still believed it would be wise to break through as soon as possible.

Once I reach a lifespan of two billion years, I will break through! Gu An decided in his heart.

Meanwhile,

At Endless Dao Mountain, within the dojo, Jiang Rulai spoke, “The Path of Creation is the cornerstone of the Three Thousand Great Dao. Even the Great Dao itself is a creation. I hope you can understand the profound mystery of creation and attain the Dao soon.”

After speaking, he stood up. Tens of thousands of listeners also stood up and saluted him.

Jiang Rulai sought nothing from his lecturing, yet it was deserving of their bowing in respect.

Jiang Rulai transformed into a rainbow light and disappeared into the dim cloud sea.

Gu An saw him flying in the direction of the Celestial Court. It seemed that although he had broken free from the Celestial Court, he still had connections with it.

“Fellow Daoist Meng, where will you go next?” Hongya Zi looked at Gu An and asked with a smile.

Gu An heard his inner voice and answered, “I plan to continue my journey through the myriad realms of the Great Dao.”

Hongya Zi wanted to follow him and see his dojo, but he didn’t want to return to the Misty Immortal Court. However, he couldn’t bring Hongya Zi back to the Celestial Spirit Great World.

“In that case, why don’t we travel together?” Hongya Zi suggested with a smile.

Gu An had no objections and nodded in agreement. After all, he was just an avatar. Where he went and what he did would not affect his true self harvesting medicinal herbs.

Seeing Gu An agree, Hongya Zi was even happier. He grabbed Gu An’s wrist and asked, “Then let’s go, Fellow Daoist Meng. Where do you think we should go first?”

“I want to take a look at the Underworld.”

“Just as well, I have acquaintances in the Nine Yin Divine Mansion of the Underworld. The Profound Abyss Ancient Tree of the Nine Yin Divine Mansion is about to bear fruit. Perhaps we can witness a spectacle.”

“Is that so? That’s perfect.”
