An Hao had a dream in which he found himself seated upon an immensely grand chair, with a Qilin crawling at his feet and True Dragons swirling around his hands. Below him was a radiant starry sky, and figures exuding powerful auras floated beneath him like a series of steps.
The sensation was incredibly wonderful; he felt as if he had control over everything and even experienced a sense of loneliness.
Immersed in this feeling, he lost track of time.
He did not know how much time had passed when suddenly, a dazzling golden light burst from the depth of the universe below and rushed towards him, turning the powerful figures along its path into ash.
The golden light shone on An Hao’s face, making it feel scorching hot to the point of burning.
An Hao suddenly opened his eyes, gasping for breath with sweat covering his forehead and his pupils still trembling.
What met his gaze was the twilight sky, and his eyes instinctively caught the sight of the figure of the Annihilation God Emperor.
The Annihilation God Emperor stood nearby, gazing up at the sky, seemingly lost in thought.
An Hao sat up and was about to stand when the Annihilation God Emperor’s finger pressed on his forehead, rendering him immobile.
At that moment, An Hao felt his mana and Qi-Blood freeze, making him extremely uncomfortable.
Having reached the Nirvana Realm, he had felt so powerful, confident to handle anything. But at that moment, he felt as if he had returned to the Mortal Realm, feeling his own insignificance once again.
He looked up at the Annihilation God Emperor, his expression of shock rapidly turning into one of resentment.
“You have the same look in your eyes as he did, possessing the same Life Grid, but you are still far from his level,” the Annihilation God Emperor said, looking down at An Hao.
An Hao gritted his teeth and asked, “Who is he?”
“His name cannot be mentioned. This entire Great Heaven and Earth cannot bear its consequences. If mentioned, this Great Heaven and Earth would instantaneously turn into nothingness.”
An Hao’s eyes widened.
It was the first time he heard of such power.
Neither the Yang Xian Emperor nor Holy Heaven could achieve such feats!
“Having traversed so many Great Heaven and Earths, it is rare to encounter someone with such a grand Life Grid as yours. I grant you a Divine Skill, now it remains to be seen how high you can reach.”
As he spoke, the Annihilation God Emperor’s index finger emitted Demonic Qi, which burrowed into An Hao’s forehead.
An Hao, unable to move, was extremely nervous. As the Demonic Qi entered his body, he did not feel any discomfort, which made him even more uneasy.
The Annihilation God Emperor withdrew his hand and said, “What you saw earlier were the memories of that being. Remember that sensation; it is the power you must strive with all your might to pursue.”
With those words, the Annihilation God Emperor vanished from the spot.
An Hao then freed from constraint, swiftly got up. He could no longer sense the presence of the Annihilation God Emperor, not a trace was left, as if everything he had experienced was just an illusion.
“Who exactly is he…”
An Hao furrowed his brows, touching his forehead subconsciously, feeling that he had gotten himself into big trouble.
Meanwhile.
Far away in the Third Medicine Valley, Gu An withdrew his gaze. When the Annihilation God Emperor approached An Hao, he had been paying attention.
This Annihilation God Emperor was merely a Free Immortal in terms of cultivation level. If he dared to harm An Hao, Gu An could eradicate him even faster, but it seemed as though the Annihilation God Emperor intended to bring an opportunity to An Hao.
After the Annihilation God Emperor left, Gu An checked An Hao’s fate once more and found that his future had changed.
An Hao was already on the path of the chosen, but after receiving the legacy from the Annihilation God Emperor, An Hao grew even stronger, which reminded Gu An of Long Zhan and Lu Han, who could just barely surpass him.
What exactly is the origin of the Annihilation God Emperor?
What does a higher realm refer to? Your next read is at empire
Gu An looked up, and beyond the Outer Heaven was the universe, surrounded by the Silent Destruction Domain. The entire universe seemed infinitely vast, with no end to be seen in any direction.
His gaze involuntarily fell upon the Boundary Gate, guarded by the Heavenly Spirit God.
Perhaps to reach beyond the universe, one must pass through that gate.
But, approaching the Boundary Gate would mean destruction by the Heavenly Spirit God, a terrifying existence capable of effortlessly annihilating the Taoist Hidden Immortal.
Gu An then thought of the Immortals he had encountered, it seemed that there were even more terrifying and vast beings above the Immortal Path.
“Master, the Sect Leader is here to see you.”
A disciple ran up to Gu An and whispered.
Gu An, standing in front of a wooden railing, withdrew his gaze and nodded to the disciple, then walked towards his loft.
Returning to the room, Gu An saw Lv Baitian, who immediately rose to greet him.
“I’ve told you so many times, there’s no need for such formality, it feels so alienating,” Gu An complained.
As Lv Baitian watched him walk over and sit down, he finally spoke, “I was ignorant before. Knowing your true identity now, proper courtesy must be observed.”
Gu An’s face remained unchanged, but he was pleased inside. Old Lv really understood people’s hearts.
He invited Lv Baitian to sit and asked why he had come.
“Your disciple, Xu Jie, had a conflict with a family. It was a misunderstanding, and I have had the family release him and have tried hard to ease the relationship. However, Xu Jie is still unhappy,” Lv Baitian began, his face showing helplessness as he spoke.
Due to the prior incident with the Wu Jue, Lv Baitian dared not be careless.
With such extraordinary talent, Xu Jie likely had Gu An’s guidance behind him; he had to handle the situation carefully.
Gu An replied nonchalantly, “If he’s unhappy, so be it. The Supreme Sect must not indulge him.”
Lv Baitian pondered the underlying meaning of Gu An’s words and responded, “He’s still young after all, and his talent is indeed rare. He reminds me of An Hao in his earlier years.”
Mentioning An Hao made him think of An Xin, and his expression turned strange.
When many things were connected, they seemed so absurd.
He also wondered what An Hao’s feelings would be if he knew all this.
An Hao didn’t know who his own master was, only knowing that his master had transformed into Sword Venerable Fudao.
“Are there a shortage of geniuses in this world now? Just treat him normally, no need to consider me. He is just a passerby from the Third Medicine Valley and has not truly become my disciple,” Gu An said carelessly.
Hearing this, Lv Baitian became even more interested in Xu Jie.
Without the guidance of Sword Venerable Fudao, Xu Jie had still shown such talent; such a genius must be properly cultivated.
The key was to bring him under his command, to become his strength!
Seeing Gu An truly uninterested in Xu Jie, Lv Baitian started discussing other matters, hoping Gu An would provide guidance for the future development of the Supreme Sect.
A full Ancient Hour passed before Lv Baitian finally left.
Gu An personally saw him down the stairs. Before parting, the two kept bowing to each other, causing nearby disciples to talk.
Gu An looked at Lv Baitian’s departing figure and noticed that Lv Baitian’s karma had changed.
Killer Calamity!
He immediately calculated Lv Baitian’s Life Grid and his expression became strange.
Due to his words today, Lv Baitian would face calamity.
Lv Baitian would find death due to Xu Jie.
