Chapter 583: Chapter 577: Ancestral Dragon War, The Sword that Cleaved the Universe_2
The Celestial Destruction God did not make a sound, but the coldness in his eyes grew more intense.
“Descendant, is this all you can achieve?”
*The Celestial Destruction God pondered silently. Although he spoke of protecting the Long Family if he was present, he understood in his heart that if Long Qing’s lineage perished, the Long Clan would cease to exist.*
*After attaining the Immortal Class, he severed his ties with the mortal world.*
*The reason he continued to protect his descendants was merely due to a fixation in his heart.*
*He was unwilling to see the Long Clan meet such a fate, but unfortunately, he could not personally aid the Long Clan.*
…
At that moment!
A brilliant light burst forth in the apparition, erupting from the feet of the Dragon Annihilation Dharma Aspect, or rather, it was Long Qing who was radiating the light.
Long Qing’s Soul Body shone with an exceptionally bright white light. His flesh began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his will was also being restored.
*He was still thinking of his mentor when he suddenly felt a miraculous power burst from the depths of his Soul Body, different from the pain induced by the Celestial Dragon Dharma Aspect. This power made him feel extremely comfortable, sweeping away his pain and fatigue.*
The Candle Celestial Monarch seemed to sense it and quickly retreated.
The Dragon Annihilation Dharma Aspect also stopped its actions.
The sixteen Innate Golden Immortals presiding over the grand formation felt immense pressure, an invisible force pushing them back.
They widened their eyes, their gaze fixed on Long Qing.
Numerous cultivators from the Battle Court also looked towards Long Qing. Everyone watched as the intense light on Long Qing’s body began to condense into a figure. This figure rapidly grew taller, the Dragon Annihilation Dharma Aspect disintegrated, transforming into an endless stream of blood energy that surrounded this new Dharma Aspect. The blood energy quickly faded from red.
Fang Xuan watched this figure rapidly rise, his heart pounding wildly.
*His intuition told him that the terrifying presence he feared most was about to reveal itself.*
Because the Dragon Annihilation Dharma Aspect was reflected in the Celestial Vault of the Celestial Spirit Great World, all living beings could see the new Dharma Aspect.
This new Dharma Aspect shone with white light all over, quickly growing to the same size as the Dragon Annihilation Dharma Aspect. Compared to the destructive aura of the Dragon Annihilation Dharma Aspect, the aura of this Dharma Aspect was even more vast and majestic, as if it hailed from the source of time, overlooking all transformations on the Great Dao.
Within the Daoist Field of the Beginningless.
An Xin, Celestial Demon Child, and others watched more clearly through the mirror on the Artifact Refining Cauldron.
They all turned their heads to look at Gu An, their expressions peculiar.
Lv Xian couldn’t hold back and was the first to ask, “Master, isn’t that Dharma Aspect you?”
The Dharma Aspect condensing from Long Qing was in the form of Long Zhan. Although the attire’s outline was different from Gu An’s, the posture and facial features were extremely similar to Gu An.
And how could it be such a coincidence, Long Qing was also Gu An’s disciple!
“Wasn’t it said that the Celestial Dragon Dharma Aspect could only summon his ancestors?” Shen Zhen murmured.
Her voice was light, but in everyone’s ears, it was like a thunderclap.
Could Gu An be Long Qing’s ancestor?
The Blood Prison Great Saint’s eyes lit up, and he instantly believed it.
Following Gu An for so many years, seeing countless orphans, he had never seen Gu An take in anyone else, and he had long noticed how much Long Qing resembled Gu An.
Gu An remained calm, still staring at the mirror, merely having sheathed the Cyan Hong Sword into its scabbard.
Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, everyone could only refocus their gaze on the mirror.
When the Dharma Aspect on Long Qing thoroughly solidified, the terrifying pressure enveloping the Celestial Spirit Great World rapidly dissipated, and all living beings breathed a sigh of relief.
On the edge of the Tai Cang Continent, the waves crashed against the shore.
Li Ya stood on the edge of a cliff, looking up at the Celestial Vault, his pupils trembling.
“Junior Brother Gu…” Li Ya did not know the Celestial Dragon Dharma Aspect, but he immediately recognized that the Dharma Aspect resembled Gu An.
Junior Brother Gu had saved the world once again…
So Junior Brother Gu had never left.
At this moment, Li Ya felt a strong fighting spirit arise. Junior Brother Gu had not left, so he could not leave either.
He resolved to stay in the Celestial Spirit Great World, to protect all living beings!
As for Zhang Buku, he had no leads to search for, so he decided it would be better to find them after attaining the Dao.
Elsewhere.
Bai Sheng looked up at the towering Dharma Aspect, his expression peculiar.
*For some reason, he found this figure somewhat familiar.*
Su Jin, however, did not think too much about it. Gu An had not left a profound impression in her memory. She had disliked Gu An from the beginning and naturally would not hold him in her heart.
On the other side of the human world, on a barren plain, a man wrapped in a large robe walked through the wind and sand. He looked up and saw the massive Dharma Aspect on the Celestial Vault. A look of shock appeared on his weathered face, but it quickly gave way to a smile.
“Gu An, you’re indeed still here.”
Martial Resolution murmured to himself, then bowed his head, continuing to move forward against the wind and sand.
Having glimpsed Gu An, his heart was completely at ease. The heavens would not collapse, and he could continue pursuing his destiny.
The gaze of all living beings was focused on Gu An’s Dharma Aspect. Aside from Gu An’s old acquaintances, the multitude of beings felt hope.
At the first sight of this Dharma Aspect, all beings felt a profound peace.
*This feeling was peculiar, yet it truly existed.*
…
Long Qing slowly raised his head to look and then stood there dumbfounded. After two breath’s time, he suddenly turned around and soared into the air.
When he arrived in front of the Dharma Aspect, he was completely stunned.
A name surfaced in his mind.
Long Zhan!
He had heard of Long Zhan’s name, the true primordial ancestor of the Long Clan, the ancient existence that truly established the Battle Court, while Emperor Longxin merely inherited his legacy.
He had actually summoned the Primordial Ancestor!
*But that wasn’t the most crucial part…*
*What shocked him was how much the Primordial Ancestor’s face resembled his mentor’s.*
*No, it wasn’t just a resemblance!*
*It was his mentor!*
*Suddenly, he realized, and all his doubts were dispelled.*
*Why did his mentor choose to adopt him?*
