Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses-Chapter 793 - 785: Emperor Ziwei

Chapter 793 -785: Emperor Ziwei

The vast blue sky was magnificent, and a meteor wreathed in flames streaked across the celestial vault, hurtling towards the earth.

It swept past mountain peaks along its path, crashing into the mountains, causing the entire ground to quake. Mushroom cloud-like plumes of dust surged upward, rocks flew wildly, and trees were swept away like dust to distant lands. The terrifying impact destroyed everything in its wake.

The heavens and earth roared, the tumult continuing for a long time.

As the waves of dust settled, a figure slowly emerged from the billowing dust. It was a man dressed in purple robes, walking amidst the ruins, his hair flowing, revealing a handsome face. His brows and eyes were cold and proud, with a slender purple line on his forehead, making him appear otherworldly, as though an Immortal God had descended to the mortal world, even the dust couldn’t conceal the glow of his purple jade crown.

The man in purple clothes walked forward while gazing into the distance, muttering to himself: “The changes in this world are truly vast.”

Before he could go far, a figure appeared in the midair ahead, it was none other than Taiyi Immortal Monarch.

Taiyi Immortal Monarch looked at the man in purple from afar, raised his hand in greeting, and asked, “Emperor Ziwei, long time no see. I wonder what brings you to this world?”

The man addressed as Emperor Ziwei smiled and replied, “Taiyi Immortal Monarch, does this realm fall under your jurisdiction now?”

“Though it is not under my control, you didn’t enter through the proper World Gate and chose to cross through the Celestial Dao Light Layer. That might violate the Celestial Rules.”

Taiyi Immortal Monarch stared at Emperor Ziwei with a meaningful expression.

Emperor Ziwei maintained his smile, “I have yet to do anything, how have I offended the Celestial Rules? On the contrary, you, having stayed in this realm for so many years, isn’t that neglecting your duty?”

The two celestial beings were at odds, the winds and waves seemed to freeze, and as their gazes locked, neither showed any fear.

After a long silence, Taiyi Immortal Monarch broke the stillness, “If you do not explain your presence, then I must stop you. Once we clash, our cultivation levels will alert the Celestial Court, and none of us will benefit.”

“You know this, yet you still wish to impede me? We should each go our own way, shouldn’t we?” Emperor Ziwei sneered coldly, as he spoke, he raised his right hand, a purple light burst forth from his palm, and a purple jade staff appeared in his grip.

This action already conveyed his stance!

Taiyi Immortal Monarch did not expect Emperor Ziwei to be so unyielding, which made things difficult for him.

At this moment, Emperor Ziwei’s expression changed drastically, a horrifying killing intent enveloped him, solidifying the mana within his body.

He felt he might be annihilated at any moment!

Even though he could resurrect, facing such killing intent still made him tremble.

He quickly drew the purple jade staff back into his body, and as he retracted the magical treasure, the terrifying killing intent vanished, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief. freeweɓnovel.cøm

Taiyi Immortal Monarch didn’t know what Emperor Ziwei had experienced, he didn’t feel the killing intent, but he could sense the change in Emperor Ziwei’s aura.

“Right, no need to escalate this. Since the Immortal Monarch wishes to guard this realm, I should not further disturb you.”

Emperor Ziwei smiled again, bowed to Taiyi Immortal Monarch, and then turned to leave.

As he lifted his right foot, he disappeared from sight.

Taiyi Immortal Monarch sensed Emperor Ziwei entering the Celestial Dao Light Layer toward Outer Heaven.

Emperor Ziwei’s departure seemed even quicker than his arrival.

Taiyi Immortal Monarch mused, immediately thinking of Gu An, and couldn’t help but shake his head with a chuckle.

He bowed in the direction of Nine Spirit Continent, and then turned to leave.

Meanwhile, Gu An, still in the mortal world, watched Emperor Ziwei’s departure.

Emperor Ziwei, this Immortal God, was inextricably linked to An Hao’s birth. Back then, Celestial Spirit Immortal Venerable stole the World Punishment Dao Pearl from Ziwei Immortal Palace, and within that pearl was An Hao’s original divine soul.

Which means, this immortal has connections with Emperor Xuanqing and Eternal Life Venerable, likely in the same faction.

However…

Emperor Ziwei carried the aura of Eternal Dao Extreme!

Gu An was certain he did not come for An Hao, but for something else.

Fortunately, Emperor Ziwei had not become his mortal enemy, perhaps due to their vast difference in cultivation, Emperor Ziwei dared not show disrespect toward him.

Or maybe…

Could it be that Emperor Ziwei’s joining of the Eternal Dao Extreme was orchestrated by the Celestial Court?

Gu An wondered as he cooked, having no grievance with the Eternal Dao Extreme, there was no need to make enemies prematurely.

Even if he were to make enemies, he needed to understand the relationship between Eternal Dao Extreme and the Celestial Court.

With these thoughts set aside, Gu An focused on his cooking.

Until nightfall, the courtyard echoed with their laughter of three, the anticipation for the future made them seem very happy.

Gu An knew their future was not bright, as long as he retained his current identity and power, he could not prevent the impending tragedy.

Over the long years, Gu An had experienced various lives, the only thing he could control was not committing evil, yet the world always had its dark corners, and even without committing evil, retribution would come.

The moon set, the sun rose.

Thirty years later, Gu An stood under the shade of a tree, looking at the slope ahead, where a man knelt before two graves, swearing an oath.

Those two graves belonged to Gu An and his wife in this lifetime. Their son, pursuing immortal cultivation, ventured out for ten years, but his enemies came first, and Gu An and his wife died by the enemies’ swords. When their son returned, he didn’t even see their corpses, it was the neighbor who helped bury them.

Gu An watched the scene with a calm expression, having no intention of revealing himself.

This lifetime’s cause and effect concluded here.

He could see his son’s future, and even though he and his wife were unfortunate, their son would ultimately achieve his desires, avenging them and eventually becoming a renowned Great Cultivator on this continent.

But that was all, for the son would fall just before Nirvana.

Gu An watched for a while and then turned to leave.

He returned to the Daoist Field of the Beginningless, entering the courtyard, and saw Shen Zhen and Shangguan Xian’er inside the room, writing something together.

Without eavesdropping, Gu An knew what they were up to.

The two were incorporating cultivation techniques within their writings, and readers had to uncover the patterns in the stories to grasp the techniques. Their books spread across Nine Spirit Continent, with some even bringing them to other worlds through the World Gate.

In this aspect, they surpassed Gu An.

Gu An often wondered if his writing was too serious.

He went to the Artifact Refining Cauldron and continued refining Dao Treasures.

Currently, he didn’t create new Dao Treasures, but refined his disciples’ existing ones to enhance them.

Take An Xin’s Six Paths Mirror, it now possessed the ability to contend with an Innate Golden Immortal.

This was Gu An’s favor towards his close disciples.

Among the third-generation disciples, only a few possessed Dao Treasures, and none below them had any.

Not long after Gu An had returned, An Zizai approached him from behind, respectfully saying, “Ancestor, a prince from Tai Cang Dynasty has come to visit. He claims to be an old acquaintance of yours.”
