Chapter 535: Chapter 532: Ascending to Yellow Heaven, Emperor of Absolute Thought
Li Ya struggled to adjust his emotions, he looked at Sword Annihilation Ancestor, cautiously asking, “Master, are you alright?”
Although the image of his master had collapsed in his heart, the many years of guidance were a kindness he could not forget.
Sword Annihilation Ancestor came back to his senses, he took a deep breath and said, “I’m alright, but you must forget today’s events, or it will bring about great trouble.”
He knew very well how terrifying the Silent Destruction God Emperor was, and this one was the original entity.
Having the capability to suppress the Silent Destruction God Emperor so easily, the Dao Practice of that being just now…
Sword Annihilation Ancestor couldn’t help but tremble, he even dared not think deeper.
…
The pressure Li Ya felt was far less than that of Sword Annihilation Ancestor; he didn’t feel that Sword Annihilation Ancestor was too cowardly, after all, considering his relationship with Gu An, Gu An would definitely take care of him.
Tsk tsk, Junior Brother Gu sure knows how to scare my master, truly not giving any face.
Li Ya felt emotional, he also couldn’t help but wonder, just how high was Junior Brother Gu’s Cultivation Level.
How could such an unrivaled powerful existence be so easily defeated by Junior Brother Gu?
Li Ya couldn’t figure it out, he just couldn’t understand.
How many years had Gu An cultivated, and how many hardships had he endured to become so powerful?
Li Ya couldn’t imagine.

Sword Annihilation Ancestor also couldn’t imagine, even as a Profound Yuan Free Immortal, in his knowledge, apart from the Celestial Spirit God guarding the World Gate, the Silent Destruction God Emperor was the most powerful being.
Previously, Supporting Dao Sword Venerable had exterminated the incarnation of the Silent Destruction God Emperor, and when the Silent Destruction God Emperor himself arrived, it frightened Supporting Dao Sword Venerable to leave the Celestial Spirit Great World, undeniably proving the power of Supporting Dao Sword Venerable.
But now…
Sword Annihilation Ancestor could accept the defeat of the Silent Destruction God Emperor, but could not accept that the Silent Destruction God Emperor had no power to fight back…
The Celestial Spirit Great World became a frightening place in the eyes of Sword Annihilation Ancestor, the once-center of the Great Thousand World indeed hid unfathomable and terrifying cause and effect.
He dared not be curious about who that being was, only hoping he could forget.
Having lived for so many years, he knew very well that even without speaking, remembering certain things could also bring boundless trouble.
On the other side.
Gu An had already returned to the Daoist Field of the Beginningless, the reason he spared Sword Annihilation Ancestor was firstly due to Li Ya’s face, and secondly because he had ways to eliminate the cause and effect, ensuring the incident wouldn’t be spread.
He arrived in his courtyard, lying on a chair, he raised his right hand and flipped it open, revealing a Black Pearl, which was transformed from the Silent Destruction God Emperor.
The Black Pearl was not the true body of the Silent Destruction God Emperor, but was suppressed by Gu An’s power of cause and effect; within the Black Pearl, the Silent Destruction God Emperor was helpless, unable to escape, only to be handled by Gu An.
The Silent Destruction God Emperor had possessed so many of the Long Clan’s juniors, Gu An couldn’t just kill him, he needed to understand the reasons.
He began to Soul Search the Silent Destruction God Emperor.
The flowers and grass in the courtyard slightly swayed, and sparrows chirped on the old trees, enhancing the liveliness of the courtyard.
Shen Zhen came back carrying a bamboo basket, she was in a good mood, humming a little tune she had heard from the folk.
When she saw Gu An admiring a black pearl, she couldn’t help but ask, “What is the origin of the pearl in your hand?”
She was just curious and didn’t think much about it, usually, Gu An liked to fiddle with little gadgets, making others feel cultivation was easy for the highly skilled, with no need for daily practice.
“I picked it up in the river.”
Gu An casually replied, his heart, however, was filled with murderous intent.
Through Soul Searching, he saw the tragic conditions of generations of the Long Clan’s talented members, the lighter cases were possession, the severe ones endured endless torment, being tortured to death alive.
The Silent Destruction God Emperor was not reincarnated into the Long Clan, but targeted the exceptionally talented disciples of the Long Clan for possession, thus seizing their lives. If the possession failed, he would find ways to take their bloodline, making the victims endure unimaginable pain.
As Gu An had guessed, the Silent Destruction God Emperor had indeed targeted the Long Clan’s bloodline because of Long Zhan. The Divine Emperor had noticed Long Zhan when he roamed the universe; he found Long Zhan’s growth rate astounding, hence always kept him under covert observation.
When Long Zhan crossed the Nine Heavens of the Immortal Path, he felt threatened, thus making his move to execute him.
Afterward, he took Long Xin as his disciple and assisted Long Xin in rebuilding the Battle Court, having a genuine mentor-disciple bond with Long Xin, without ever attempting possession.
Later, Long Xin was killed by a supreme being, and the Silent Destruction God Emperor could not avenge him, which deeply provoked the Silent Destruction God Emperor.
Afterwards, Long Xin’s grandson exhibited a talent no less impressive than Long Zhan’s. He then became greedy, continuously searching and continually failing, making him more obstinate, eventually leading to a great disaster.
The one who killed Long Xin came from Ascending to Yellow Heaven, known as Emperor of Absolute Thought.
In the memory of the Silent Destruction God Emperor, at that time, he had yet to reach the middle stage of the Innate Golden Immortal Realm. Facing the Emperor of Absolute Thought, he was completely powerless and only managed to escape by using a secret technique.
After that, he never encountered the Emperor of Absolute Thought again, and he dared not venture to Ascending to Yellow Heaven, which seemed to be a forbidden place to him.
Besides, Gu An also learned about another existence.
Immortal Emperor!
This person was the Lord of the War Court, initiating the war that overthrew the power of the Long Clan. He was also the longest-ruling entity of the Battle Court, claiming he could be eternally immortal as long as a living being could chant his title, allowing him to resurrect.
The Silent Destruction God Emperor was also wary of the Immortal Emperor; the two never clashed.
It’s worth mentioning that the Immortal Emperor was not interested in the Long Clan, spending years in seclusion; it was his offspring who, fearing the Long Clan’s resurgence, began the extermination.
As Gu An continuously extracted memories, Shen Zhen sat on a nearby stool, quietly watching him.
For some reason, she felt the black pearl in Gu An’s hands had a not-so-simple origin.
Moreover, Gu An’s current state gave her an indescribable feeling of profound mystery.
She felt like painting.
Hence, she took out a palette and set it up in front of her, then hung up a sheet of paper and took out her ink and brush.
Gu An noticed her actions but said nothing.
Time quickly passed.
After a long while.
After Gu An finished plundering the memories of the Silent Destruction God Emperor, he clenched his right hand, shattering the black pearl.
[You have successfully seized the life span of the Silent Destruction God Emperor (Middle Stage of Innate Golden Immortal Realm) for 15,098,273,628 years]
Fifteen billion years of life span!
Upon seeing this prompt, dark thoughts of slaying Innate Golden Immortals arose in Gu An’s heart.
But he quickly suppressed them.
To live to the Innate Golden Immortal Realm, one must surely not be ordinary!
Like the Silent Destruction God Emperor, his master, close friends, and disciples were all extraordinary; just killing him was manageable, as Gu An could erase the cause and effect, but if he killed too many, it would always lead to major trouble.
Regardless, eradicating the Silent Destruction God Emperor resolved a great concern for Gu An.
After that, he could fully enjoy life and watch his disciples grow.
Gu An turned his head to look at Shen Zhen nearby, curious about the kind of painting she had created.
He saw Shen Zhen holding the brush, her expression slightly blank, completely fixed in front of the palette, motionless.
Gu An immediately stood up and walked over to her, making his way to her side, looking at the drawing paper with squinting eyes.
The paper depicted a man with white hair and blood clothes, standing atop a mountain peak, gazing up at the sun, moon, and stars.
Although Shen Zhen’s drawing was not very clear, Gu An could recognize the person instantly.
Long Xin’s grandson, Long Jun’s son, Long Mie.
The character ‘extinction’ in Long Mie was derived from the Silent Destruction God Emperor, who had visited him when he was just born, at that time, the Silent Destruction God Emperor hadn’t yet realized Long Mie’s talent.
This scene in the painting had not appeared in the memories of the Silent Destruction God Emperor. After the Silent Destruction God Emperor captured Long Mie, and before he had attempted possession, they encountered a Great Dao storm on the Path of the Great Dao, which obliterated Long Mie while severely injuring the Silent Destruction God Emperor.
