Chapter 533: Chapter 530: Laws of the World
Gu An watched the battle unfold while he waited for his cultivation level to become completely stable.
During this process, the battle between the man in silver armor and the mysterious Great Demon in his eyes gradually slowed down.
The Dao rules of the Celestial Extreme Nine Heavens were indeed rich, providing great benefits for Gu An, and his aptitude in the Way of Cause and Effect also greatly improved.
At that moment, he even considered relocating the Daoist Field of the Beginningless to the Celestial Extreme Nine Heavens.
Of course, he merely thought about it; while the Celestial Extreme Nine Heavens were appealing, they were even more dangerous.
So far, he hadn’t seen any beings in the Celestial Extreme Nine Heavens with a cultivation realm lower than that of an Innate Golden Immortal.
…
The beings here could easily extinguish the inhabitants of the Daoist Field of the Beginningless with a single breath, and he suspected that those of lower realms could not survive in this world. They could easily be crushed by the power of the Great Dao unless they stayed inside the dojo.
After a long time,
Gu An’s cultivation level finally stabilized. He looked at his remaining life span; he still had over one hundred ninety billion years left.
It was not perilous, a steady breakthrough!
[Would you like to expend 10,000,000,000 years of life span to teleport back to the previous location?]
Gu An stood up, his gaze stretched far into the distance, where the distant battle seemed not to have yielded a winner. Looking in other directions, he saw no traces of other beings.
He silently chose yes, and then his figure vanished from the spot.

Once again, a familiar, peculiar sensation assailed him, and his senses plunged into darkness.
After a while,
his feet touched the ground again. He opened his eyes and found himself back in that forest, now under the veil of night.
His Heart Eye instantly captured the entire world, spreading quickly, and his heart followed, settling down.
He did not leave but continued to observe the universe, aiming to capture all the Great Heaven and Earth within it and imagining the combined size of them.
In the universe, there were more than a thousand Great Heaven and Earth and many Little Worlds, but even so, all combined seemed quite small in Gu An’s eyes.
He felt that now he could create a Dao Fruit World that was larger than the Celestial Spirit Great World before it fractured, indicating that his cultivation level had already surpassed that of the former Master of the Great World.
This was to be expected; after the fragmentation of the Celestial Spirit Great World, Free Immortals roamed the universe freely, making Daoist Zang Zizai Immortal exceptionally rare, indicating that the Celestial Spirit Great World wasn’t as exaggerated as Gu An had thought before it broke apart.
Gu An then looked towards the Celestial Spirit God under the World Gate, similar to the Celestial Extreme God he met at the Celestial Extreme Nine Heavens, with the cultivation of a Heaven-Balancing Golden Immortal, yet far from reaching the Perfection Realm.
Finally, Gu An no longer felt pressure when facing the Celestial Spirit God.
A smile appeared on his face, his mood becoming even more cheerful.
Even though his cultivation level surpassed the Celestial Spirit God, Gu An did not immediately plan to act against the Celestial Spirit God since there wasn’t deep enmity between them, and there was clearly a much larger force behind the Celestial Spirit God.
He would deal with the Silent Destruction God Emperor first!
That individual schemed against the Long Clan and him, creating an irreconcilable deadly feud.
The Celestial Spirit God, at most, differed in stance, acting out of their duty, not because of Gu An, whereas the Silent Destruction God Emperor acted out of self-interest.
Gu An stepped forward, enjoying the night scenery of the forest. The tiny insects in the dark appeared so vivid; their world was also vivid, bearing similarities to the world humans lived in.
Busy with survival, entwined with cause and effect.
Great Thousand World, Great Heaven and Earth, Little World, and the world of insects—all these worlds had their strengths and weaknesses, but all followed a set of rules.
In the darkness, a mantis slowly emerged from beneath a leaf, creeping closer to a cicada.
…
At dawn, the sunlight broke through Heaven and Earth.
Between the mountains lay a lake, enshrouded in fog, resembling a paradise from the Human World. Li Ya stood by the lake, holding the Nine Extremes Sacred Heart Sword, his gaze fixed on a man in black robes in the distance, his hair disheveled, resembling an Evil Demon.
The man in black robes was actually the transformation of the Silent Destruction God Emperor, who was pondering the ways of the Sacred Heart Sword Dao.
Li Ya had always been wary of this man, but the Sword Annihilation Ancestor dared not drive him away. This man even taught him Divine Skills, so he could only endure in silence.
Watching the man in the black robe enthralled, Li Ya was very curious.
What was this man’s background?
What was he scheming?
Why did he want to study the Sacred Heart Sword Dao but not go to the River of Sword Dao?
The Sword Annihilation Ancestor had once taken Li Ya to the River of Sword Dao; the splendor and dazzle of it had left Li Ya with unforgettable memories.
He really wanted to visit the River of Sword Dao again, but the Sword Annihilation Ancestor said that with his Cultivation Level, he could not stay long in the River of Sword Dao.
He wondered if Junior Brother Gu had ever been there.
Suddenly, Li Ya thought of Gu An. Although Gu An had revealed his true identity, in his heart, Gu An would always be his junior brother.
It wasn’t that he wanted to take advantage, but he felt that the title of Junior Brother Gu made him feel closer; the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable seemed too distant, and he only felt respect towards him.
As soon as he thought of Gu An, Li Ya’s lips involuntarily lifted in a smile.
He and Gu An had grown up together, feeling that Gu An was not pretending—perhaps Gu An in this life was just an identity of Supporting Dao Sword Venerable’s reincarnation. Because of this, he trusted that the Gu An in his memories was more real than the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable.
Suddenly, the Sword Annihilation Ancestor appeared behind the Silent Destruction God Emperor, and the two seemed to be communicating telepathically. Li Ya could not hear them and soon, the two disappeared from the spot.
Seeing this, Li Ya did not think further and continued practicing his swordsmanship.
If he wanted to catch up to Junior Brother Gu, he’d become the world’s top swordsman first!
He did not notice that behind him at the top of the trees, Gu An was standing on the leaves, silently watching him.
Mountains behind and mist rising from the lake, the scene was so aesthetically peaceful and serene.
Gu An, having just achieved a breakthrough, thought of Li Ya, so he came to see him.
Looking at Li Ya, he recalled the feelings and ambitions of their youth.
One must not forget one’s original aspirations. Reminiscing about the past occasionally could also make his heart more resolute.
Gu An decided to wait until the Silent Destruction God Emperor had completely passed down the Divine Skills to Li Ya, then he would take action against him.
As for whether killing the Silent Destruction God Emperor would provoke a stronger existence, he did not care, since the World Gate separated them from other Great Thousand Worlds.
His intuition told him that the strongest in the Battle Court would not be much stronger than the Silent Destruction God Emperor; otherwise, the pursuit of Long Qing would not have been delayed until today.
A breeze lifted Gu An’s garments, a leaf fluttered up from beside him, spiraling toward the Celestial Vault.
Seasons came and went.
Thirty years passed swiftly.
Inside the Daoist Field of the Beginningless.
Gu An watched Lv Xian practice martial arts, with An Xin by his side, discussing the recent troubles faced by the Qiankun Sect.
The Qiankun Sect was already the overlord of the Nine Spirit Continent, but its development always met with troubles. Over the years, An Xin frequently aided people like Yi Qingshan. Now, with an Overseas Sect targeting the Nine Spirit Continent and supposedly an Old Monster from the Celestial and Earthly Immortals sitting within that sect…
Celestial and Earthly Immortals were considered legendary to the Qiankun Sect, and even An Xin could not handle them; they could only rely on Gu An.
Gu An, staring at Lv Xian, spoke softly, “You can help the Qiankun Sect, but don’t help them expand their territory. If a Great Cultivator breaks into the continent, then you can make your move.”
An Xin pouted, helplessly saying, “Master, is whether I intervene the point? I can’t beat them!”
