Chapter 549: Chapter 546: Master, What is the Profound Yuan Free Immortal?
In the autumn season, the forests within the Daoist Field of the Beginningless gradually turned yellow and withered.
Gu An was instructing An Xin in her cultivation by a small river. The Fairy, who appeared unfathomably profound in the eyes of Qiankun Sect disciples, was now wearing a face full of distress, unable to grasp Gu An’s words.
And all at once, An Xin felt ashamed.
When she had been instructing the Qiankun Sect disciples, encountering those with dull Spiritual Root Qualifications, she couldn’t help feeling somewhat irritated.
Yet looking at her master, facing the difficult task of teaching her, he remained composed, and even kept a smile on his face.
She felt that her own path was still long.
…
Little did she know, the reason why Gu An was smiling was that Li Ya was taking a beating again; while others teamed up to combat the Evil Demons from the Supreme Demon Realm, he alone was being pursued by a group of Evil Demons.
Even though Li Ya was being chased, he did not lose his verbal edge. Every time he was about to be caught, he would burst forth with even stronger power to break out of the encirclement.
He was excited, thinking that he had broken through the limit of his physical body, undergoing a transformation amidst the battle.
Gu An heard his heart’s voice and was even more amused.
Oh, senior brother, your potential is my doing.
As Gu An thought this, he turned to An Xin and said, “If you can’t figure it out, then take your time. It’s meaningless to think about other useless matters instead of focusing on Enlightenment.”
Upon hearing this, An Xin nodded earnestly. She stopped her wild thoughts and began to review the previous Dao teachings with concentration.
Gu An noticed her refocused mind and felt satisfied with her attitude.
Besides Li Ya, other old acquaintances were also more or less caught in trouble. In the current times, the scramble for opportunities inevitably involved Combat and killing.
What Gu An was most concerned about, however, was Zhu Xi. Zhu Xi had already stepped into the realm of Daoist Zang Zizai Immortal, his body exuding the aura of Reincarnation, clearly having regained his Destiny Pattern from his previous life as a Saint of Shengtian.
It’s worth mentioning that Zhu Xi did not go to Outer Heaven for his breakthrough. They were hidden in an ancient Secret Realm, and his breakthrough had caused quite a stir, covering the entire Celestial Spirit Great World. However, since the Supreme Demon Realm was causing chaos, the various Sects did not fully mobilize to investigate the truth.
Zhu Xi, who had reached the realm of Daoist Zang Zizai Immortal, was preparing to impact an even higher Realm.
Profound Yuan Free Immortal!
Gu An was curious about the Immortal Seeker, although he was a Reincarnated being, his Cultivation Level was not strong in this life. How was he using other forces to help Zhu Xi break through by force?
This power reminded Gu An of the aura of the God of Destruction.
The God of Destruction was also a god of the Celestial Court. In Black Profound Emperor’s memories, the aura of the God of Destruction was different from that of the Celestial Spirit God, but it was, nonetheless, related to the Celestial Dao Aura.
The power that the Immortal Seeker borrowed was similar to that of the God of Destruction, though there were also differences.
Gu An sensed carefully and felt that this power might be at the same level as the God of Destruction and the Celestial Spirit God.
Compared with the three, none was significantly stronger than the others.
Interesting, it seems that there’s some cause and effect contradiction within the Celestial Court itself.
While observing the world, Gu An repeated his teachings. The content An Xin had already memorized, but the reason he repeated it was that he infused his Dao Intent into his voice, allowing the Dao Listener to have new realizations with each listening of the same content.
An Xin’s Spiritual Root Qualification was mediocre, but her Comprehension was not bad. For her to have come this far, Gu An had expended quite a bit of effort just teaching the Dao.
Thankfully, it looked to be worth it.
“Let’s see what kind of existence it is that has allowed the Celestial Spirit God to hold on until now.”
Gu An looked at An Xin, thinking thus in his heart.
In the following autumn, the Nine Spirit Continent remained relatively calm, but the Tai Cang Continent and other places around the world suffered even more intense shocks.
The Supreme Demon Realm seemed to sense something and became increasingly manic.
All over the world, the multitude of living beings felt a sense of oppression.
…
“The world isn’t really about to end, is it?”
At dusk, Lv Xian stood beside Gu An, looking into the distance with him.
Lv Xian’s face was full of worry, because he felt an oppressive aura emanating from outside the dojo, causing all things between heaven and earth to tremble, even the spiritual energy seemed restless and uneasy.
The reason he could sense the situation outside the dojo was because Gu An specifically allowed him to feel it.
To be precise, he allowed everyone inside the dojo to feel it.
At such a time, it is necessary to make the people in the dojo aware, so they would cherish what they have.
“Perhaps it truly might be the end of the world.”
Gu An said softly, alarming Lv Xian who looked at him in fear.
Lv Xian asked, “If that is so, what about us…”
With Gu An’s abilities, he could surely escape to Outer Heaven, so why choose to seclude in the Celestial Spirit Great World?
“This catastrophe will lead to the annihilation of all beings, followed by the shattering of heaven and earth, and even the universe will collapse…”
Gu An began to describe the future, his voice painting one solemn scene after another in Lv Xian’s mind, causing his pupils to constrict.
After he finished speaking, Lv Xian dully asked, “Why would this happen? Who caused all this? The nature of heaven and earth itself? Or the Heavenly Dao?”
Thousands of years ago, the concept of the Heavenly Dao spread throughout the land, making all living beings aware of its existence.
In the obscurity, it is the Heavenly Dao that controls everything.
Destiny, reincarnation all lie within the Heavenly Dao!
Study the Great Dao, follow the Heavenly Dao!
“Perhaps it is the Immortal Gods that people admire who are dissatisfied with our world, and soon you will see the truth for yourself,” Gu An said with profound meaning.
Lv Xian subconsciously asked, “How soon is ‘soon’?”
As soon as the words fell, the ground trembled, and a vast oppressive force descended, enveloping all things between heaven and earth.
Lv Xian was immediately intimidated by this force, his eyes widened, showing an expression of utter disbelief.
At this moment, a series of figures appeared out of nowhere behind them.
It was An Xin, Shen Zhen, and others.
They looked toward Gu An nervously, the sudden oppressive force was truly frightening, prompting them to instinctively seek out Gu An.
Gu An did not turn around; he looked into the distance and said, “Take a good look, recognize the true nature of this world. One day, you will have to face such despair on your own.”
Hearing this, An Xin was about to speak when a thunderous boom shook heaven and earth.
Gu An waved his sleeve, and a light screen appeared in front of them, reflecting a vast continent. At this moment, the continent was splitting apart, dust rising, with grand momentum. If one looked closely, amidst the spectacular surging tide, tendrils appeared as if something, a Giant Demon, was about to break through the soil.
“What is that?” Shen Zhen couldn’t help but ask.
No one answered her, and Gu An did not explain, but let them continue to watch.
As more and more dust arose on the continent, the view on the light screen zoomed out, showing more of the sea areas, while the continent was submerged by the surging waves.
Soon, the expressions of An Xin and others began to change, some even with their mouths wide open in shock as if a mortal had seen a ghost.
They saw a huge round fruit rising within the mighty surging tide, its surface covered in golden Dao patterns. It was larger than the continent, rising continuously, growing larger and larger.
Chen Chuan turned his head to another direction, his eyes wide as he pointed and said in astonishment, “Look over there, quickly!”
Everyone turned to look, and saw a gigantic object appearing on the horizon, the same mysterious giant fruit from the light screen.
“That is the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit, the essence of heaven and earth itself. Without it, there would be no heaven and earth, nor would there be all things within heaven and earth,” Gu An introduced.
Without waiting for anyone to ask, he continued, “Someone has reached the level of Profound Yuan Free Immortal, prompting the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit to appear.”
Profound Yuan Free Immortal?
Blood Prison Great Saint asked impatiently, “Master, what is a Profound Yuan Free Immortal?”
