Chapter 634: Chapter 627: Son of Heaven, Gaining Experience
Facing the encirclement of the Seventy-Two Immortals of the Golden Cave, Gu An’s demonic shadow remained calm, as if he had long anticipated the arrival of the Seventy-Two Immortals of the Golden Cave.
He did not answer the Purple Dragon Star Monarch. He felt that the Purple Dragon Star Monarch was not qualified to speak to him, and with things having gotten to this point, there was no misunderstanding to discuss.
The target of the Seventy-Two Immortals of the Golden Cave was Tian Hao, and as a master, Gu An naturally had to step forward.
Moreover, the conflict between the Immortal Gods could also affect all living beings. Although Gu An didn’t want to be a diligent savior, if he came across a calamity that absolutely couldn’t be resolved by everyone else and he could easily resolve it, he wouldn’t deliberately ignore it.
Let it be considered the repayment for the many years of life span he had taken while secluding himself in this realm.
Gu An turned around to face the Purple Dragon Star Monarch.
The Immortal Lights of the other seventy-one Golden Cave Immortals converged, forming a Formation superior to the Mortal World, invoking the Dao Rules, and discreetly suppressing Gu An.
The Purple Dragon Star Monarch was a Taiqing Golden Immortal, while the other Golden Cave Immortals were all Heaven-Balancing Golden Immortals. The Formation they formed had already surpassed the limit that a Taiqing Golden Immortal could withstand. Although it was not powerful enough to suppress a Heaven-Opening Daluo Immortal, it was sufficient to sweep through all existences beneath the Daluo Dao Fruit Realm.
“This Formation is the Golden Cave Absolute Immortal Array. No one except a Daluo Immortal can escape!”
A Golden Cave Immortal spoke with a proud tone.
Why would a Daluo Immortal come to this realm!
If their target was the same as theirs, why would they need to stay in the Celestial Spirit Great World? They could have already taken away the person they were trying to find.
Cultivators, Innate Human Race Evil Demons, and others watching from afar all watched the battle nervously, not daring to move.
Tian Hao, Yuan Songzi, Lv Xian, and Celestial Demon Child and others were curious about what a Daluo Immortal was?
The people of Wushi had indeed heard of this name from the books written by Gu An. They quietly thought that indeed, the books the master wrote were not entirely fictional but were mythical stories that had truly happened.
Zhu Guanghan looked at the Seventy-Two Immortals of the Golden Cave, and his expression drastically changed as if he thought of something. He became extremely anxious and very much wanted to flee the place.
Once the Golden Cave Absolute Immortal Array was deployed, those outside the Formation could only feel the grandeur but could not personally experience the oppressing force. However, simply witnessing the Immortal Light of the Golden Cave Absolute Immortal Array made them feel their insignificance—as if they would be reduced to ashes upon mere contact with the Immortal Light.
Gu An’s demonic shadow remained silent, waiting for either the Profound Residence Immortal Monarch or Taiyi Immortal Monarch.
From a causal deduction perspective, it was unlikely that either of the two Immortal Monarchs would intervene, at least not in the short term.
Gu An looked at the Seventy-Two Immortals of the Golden Cave, contemplating how to deal with them.
To kill them was definitely impossible to accomplish thoroughly; even if annihilated, they could be resurrected through Heavenly Dao.
It would be possible to seal them like he dealt with the Celestial Spirit God, preventing their resurrection and letting them endure the torment.
Seeing that Gu An refused to speak, the Golden Cave Immortals grew furious, and one burly Golden Cave Immortal immediately spoke, “Elder brother, destroy him! Since the person we are looking for is right before us, why worry so much? We are Immortal Gods!”
As Immortal Gods, they had absolute confidence.
Becoming an Immortal signified immortality; they would only fear other Immortal Gods.
Facing someone of higher Realm who wasn’t an Immortal God, they weren’t scared at all.
The Celestial Court was their greatest backing!
Over the endless years, they had experienced innumerable tribulations and faced every possible scenario.
The Purple Dragon Star Monarch deeply looked at Gu An and nodded slightly. Seeing this, the seventy-one Golden Cave Immortals immediately took action, using their Divine Skills simultaneously. Their Immortal Light rapidly expanded, and wind, fire, thunder, and rain suddenly erupted, instantly engulfing Gu An’s figure.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
Inside the Golden Cave Absolute Immortal Array, deafening booming sounds erupted, dazzling lights flashed, creating a blinding spectacle that made it impossible to discern the specific situation inside the Array. However, they could truly feel the terrifying aura of the Golden Cave Absolute Immortal Array.
Yuan Songzi, Tian Hao, and others instinctively stepped back, an inherent impulse that could not be suppressed by reason, including Zhu Guanghan from the Heaven-Encompassing Free Immortal Realm.
They widened their eyes, reflecting the Immortal Light of the Golden Cave Absolute Immortal Array in their pupils, which trembled.
They could no longer see Gu An’s figure, but the aura emanating from the Golden Cave Absolute Immortal Array made everything seem fragile.
They couldn’t imagine what kind of destruction such a terrifying presence would cause if it descended upon the Celestial Spirit Great World.
As Great Cultivators, the spectators felt that such an aura could turn the Celestial Spirit Great World to ash, as they themselves couldn’t withstand it at all.
If such was the case outside the Formation, what would it be like inside?
As this thought emerged in everyone’s minds, the Golden Cave Absolute Immortal Array suddenly dispersed, revealing Gu An’s figure, who reached out and grabbed. The Seventy-Two Immortals of Jin Dong transformed into seventy-two beams of golden light that flew into his hand, quickly shrinking and disappearing without a trace.
Following this, Gu An clenched his fist, and two beams of purple light appeared on his face shrouded with Demonic Qi, the surrounding void abruptly changed, and the scarlet world reappeared, making everyone feel as if they were in a different era.
By the time they regained their senses, Gu An had vanished.
The world fell silent, and the sound from the Golden Cave Absolute Immortal Array gradually disappeared.
Even Lv Xian and Celestial Demon Child were stunned.
They had thought there would be a thrilling great battle, but it ended so quickly.
Zhu Guanghan hovered in midair, also falling into a daze.
He suddenly didn’t know what to do.
Dao Court Cultivators turned their gazes to him, equally at a loss, as they were no match for Zhu Guanghan.
The sky was vast and the sea of clouds pristine, a rainbow hanging at the horizon.
Below the rainbow stood a small pavilion, perched above the clouds, where two Daoists were playing a game of Go, though the pieces were not black and white.
One of them, a white-haired man with handsome features, had his eyes covered with a silver ribbon and a golden pattern on his forehead. He wore a spotless white Dao robe, with a scroll floating behind him, its light flowing; the painting within depicted a shifting landscape.
He was none other than Taiyi Immortal Monarch.
Taiyi Immortal Monarch’s right hand held a game piece between his fingers, not yet placed on the board, seemingly contemplating something.
Sitting opposite him was a yellow-robed Daoist with an aged face, his hair a mix of black and white, and authority in his gaze. Golden-red halos floated around him like slender, lengthy scarves, and behind his head hovered a phantom image of two mysterious and majestic Divine Beasts intertwined.
The yellow-robed Daoist spoke, “Do you really intend to interfere in the matters of Celestial titles? There are many Sons of Heaven, why care so much about one who has been exiled? Even sending the Seventy-Two Immortals of Golden Cave.”
Taiyi Immortal Monarch responded, “It’s true there are many Sons of Heaven, and many have been exiled, but he’s different. He was once deeply favored, and now he has fallen into Reincarnation. In my view, he’s not being exiled but is undergoing trials. If it were truly an exile, there’d be no need to conceal the heavenly secrets.”
The yellow-robed Daoist shook his head and chuckled.
Taiyi Immortal Monarch then placed his piece on the board, “Not many Sons of Heaven can ascend to the Palace of the Polestar, but he was able to right from birth. I will never forget the scene of thousands of Immortals surrounding him.”
The yellow-robed Daoist teased with a smile, “For that, you would contend with Profound Star Immortal Monarch? You should know that Profound Star Immortal Monarch has backing.”
“As long as it does not violate Celestial Rules, what does a big backing matter?” Taiyi Immortal Monarch retorted.
Suddenly, he frowned, the golden pattern on his forehead shining brightly.
The yellow-robed Daoist picked up a game piece, smiling as he asked, “What’s wrong?”
After a moment of silence, Taiyi Immortal Monarch said, “The Seventy-Two Immortals of Jin Dong failed. The one who acted has an unfathomably high Cultivation Level; they did not test his depth. The only certainty is that he lacks the Destiny of the Celestial Court.”
The yellow-robed Daoist’s interest was piqued, and he smiled, “Those daring to oppose the Celestial Court are indeed rare.”
