At dawn, Gu An emerged from the forest, followed by Jiang Shi, whose expression was somewhat bewildered.
Lu Jiujia, who was organizing the disciples for training, turned his head and noticed Jiang Shi following Gu An, which sparked surprise within him.
“This young man actually dares to seek out his senior brother?”
In his heart, Lu Jiujia lamented, seeing that Jiang Shi clearly looked defeated.
Gu An continued on, joining the ranks of the disciples in preparation for training.
Lu Jiujia did not ask Jiang Shi for details but urged him to join the queue quickly as the training was about to start.
An hour later, Gu An left Mystic Valley, and only then did Lu Jiujia dare to pull Jiang Shi back to the house to ask about what had happened the night before.
Under the control of Gu An’s Divine Thought, the disciples in the valley were unable to perceive the disturbances of the previous night and even failed to sense the approach of Gu An and Jiang Shi’s energies.
Facing Lu Jiujia’s inquiry, Jiang Shi shook his head and said, “Senior brother, don’t ask. Rest assured, I am fine. I will devote myself to building up Mystic Valley and won’t let you or Master down.”
After hearing this, Lu Jiujia felt uneasy.
Why did it seem that this young man had grown closer to his senior brother?
Even closer than him!
Lu Jiujia thought it over and figured, since he didn’t have many years left to live, wasn’t this situation what he had hoped for?
He respected Gu An and treated Jiang Shi like a son, naturally hoping for a closer relationship between the two.
“Perform well, your master will take note,” Lu Jiujia said solemnly as he patted Jiang Shi on the shoulder.
Jiang Shi nodded, his eyes blazing with a fire named combativeness.
…
After the summer had passed, the Yang Xian Emperor officially began his Tribulation Crossing.
Gu An stayed in the attic of the Third Medicine Valley, beginning to watch the Divine Thought True Immortal’s Tribulation Crossing.
He wanted to see if the Heavenly Tribulation of the Yang Xian Emperor could match his own.
As soon as the Heavenly Tribulation began, he was disappointed.
It seemed not very strong; as a Divine Thought True Immortal Realm being, he could have easily crossed it.
While he was disappointed, the Heaven and Earth Flying Immortals in the exterior layers of sky shuddered with fear. Even from a great distance, they could feel the terror of the Heavenly Tribulation.
“What kind of Heavenly Tribulation is this? So far away and yet the pressure is still so terrifying?”
“Which level of the Immortal Path’s Heavenly Tribulation could this be?”
“All I know is that from the fifth to the sixth level, the Heavenly Tribulation is nowhere near as frightening, and this is just the beginning.”
“Could this tribulation affect the Great Heavenly Spirit Land?”
“The Immortal Dynasty is truly formidable. The pressure we feel is just the residual effect, look at their formations, how profound.”
The Heaven and Earth Flying Immortals discussed among themselves. Then, the Carefree Primordial Immortal and the Divine Immortal of Wondrous Dharma began to arrive.
As time passed, the Heavenly Tribulation of the Yang Xian Emperor grew increasingly terrifying.
From the beginning of the Heavenly Tribulation, Gu An could foresee the result. Even at its strongest, the tribulation could not shake his physique from when he was in the Divine Thought True Immortal Realm. If he were to undergo the Yang Xian Emperor’s Heavenly Tribulation, he would surely succeed on his first try.
This Heavenly Tribulation would last a total of seven days.
The next day, the sky emitted a red glow, akin to a burning cloud; the cultivators of the Supreme Sect merely thought it beautiful, without giving it much thought. The same was true for ninety percent of the beings under the sky.
On the third day, the temperature of heaven and earth suddenly rose, and the spiritual energy became violent, forcing many cultivators who were in seclusion to emerge, with some even being invaded by inner demons.
On the fourth day, earthquakes and tsunamis began to occur all around the world, which the Supreme Sect couldn’t ignore.
On the fifth day, the Holy Court took action!
Gu An saw a multitude of Holy Court powerhouses shot towards the cosmos like a rain of arrows; their mana converged together, forming a formidable force that struck the Great Immortal Dynasty’s formation with an unstoppable momentum.
The tremendous aftermath shattered many stars and meteorites in the cosmos, and then surged towards the Great Heavenly Spirit Land.
The scenario Gu An had deduced occurred; some Heaven and Earth Flying Immortals turned to ash on the spot, and the entire Great Heavenly Spirit Land was shaken.
The Great Immortal Dynasty’s formation was broken in an instant; however, dazzling flames burst forth from Yang Xian Emperor’s body, brighter and more massive than even the seven outer days, radiating endless scorching heat!
Yang Xian Emperor raised his hand and astonishingly repelled tens of thousands of Holy Court powerhouses with a single move, including five Divine Thought True Immortals!
Not only that, Gu An saw divine spirits with powerful auras flying out from the Reincarnation Vortex, all of whom were Divine Thought True Immortals and Dao Void Mysterious Immortals.
The origins of these divine spirits were extremely bizarre, untraceable, almost as if they weren’t Living Spirits but came from the Nine Nether World; they did not go to aid Yang Xian Emperor but instead headed toward the Holy Dynasty.
A world-shaking war thus erupted!
In the ensuing time, Gu An saw Divine Thought True Immortals battling in the cosmos, Dao Void Mysterious Immortals fighting within the Tao Realm, and Divine Immortals of Wondrous Dharma and Carefree Primordial Immortals dueling in states unobservable by ordinary beings.
The Holy Gods joined the fight!
All the Holy Gods of the Holy Court were Divine Thought True Immortals; each of their arrivals resembled Immortals descending to the mortal world, majestic and awe-inspiring.
Gu An was indeed riveted by what he saw, but of course, he didn’t forget his own identity, and he would also pretend to be worried when around others.
On the seventh day, Yang Xian Emperor had advanced to the Free Immortal Realm, in full splendor.
A violent storm approached.
Under the pavilion, Ji Xiaoyu looked up at the rolling thunderclouds, her brow tightly furrowed.
The Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor suddenly appeared beside her, sighing, “This is the Six Realms Destiny Ultimate Void Tribulation; this Yang Xian Emperor is truly a rare genius in history, not inferior to Shengtian. Having two prodigies from the same era in a single great heaven and earth is terrifying. It’s fortunate that they are adversaries.”
Upstairs, Gu An heard this and his expression turned odd.
The Six Realms Destiny Ultimate Void Tribulation?
When he had broken through to the Dao Void Mysterious Immortal Realm previously, his heavenly tribulation was called the Six Realms Destiny Ultimate Void Tribulation, three realms more than what Yang Xian Emperor is facing now. Did this represent a higher level of difficulty?
Ji Xiaoyu spoke, “Indeed, if there were stronger beings in the Great Heavenly Spirit Land to guide them to unite, then this land could soar. Sadly, there are no such supreme beings here, destined to have only one prodigy survive. From what we see now, I believe Shengtian will have the last laugh.”
The Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor showed a smile, saying, “I, on the other hand, think Yang Xian Emperor has more hope. The Holy Court entered the Reincarnation Tribulation later than Your Majesty, and by the time Yang Xian Emperor unifies the Great Heavenly Spirit Land, he might not be able to escape from his tribulation.”
After hearing this, Ji Xiaoyu did not continue the conversation, her gaze firmly fixed on the sky.
With a loud bang!
A bolt of thunder appeared in the sky, resembling a giant dragon, spectacular to behold.
“I, Yang Xian Emperor, ruler of the Immortal Dynasty, proclaim my ascension to the Nine Heavens of Immortal Path. How dare the Holy Court obstruct my Tribulation Crossing? From this day forth, the Immortal Dynasty declares total war on the Holy Court. In this war, only one shall remain!”
The voice of Yang Xian Emperor resounded, his tone mixed with towering rage, and the most profound part was that only beings of the Immortal Path Realm could hear it, inaudible to Mortal Spirits. Experience more content on empire
Gu An couldn’t help but admire; this guy’s acting was also very strong.
Clearly, he had been deliberately waiting for the Holy Court to make a move.
The Holy Court had no choice but to act, unable to watch the birth of a Free Immortal in the Immortal Dynasty.
Their failure to act this time meant that the Holy Court was defeated by the Immortal Dynasty twice!
Gu An was full of anticipation for the future; as the great chaos commenced worldwide, continuously more suicidal attackers would invade the Taicang Continent, and he hadn’t taken action in a long while, eager to display his Divine Skills!
