Chapter 639: Chapter 632: The Fortune of the Immortal Emperor’s Eye
Although Xu You’s words were sharp, Zhang Buku had grown accustomed to them; Xu You played an undeniable role in his journey to this day.
In critical moments, Xu You was always so reliable, and more than once rescued him from desperate situations, their bond had long since become one of life-and-death trust.
“Then let’s go compete for an Immortal Position!”
Zhang Buku looked at Xu You and said earnestly.
In his heart, though, he was thinking of two other people.
If he could Ascend to Immortality, he should be able to find Master Gu and Li Ya. What expressions would they wear when faced with the Immortal him?
With this thought, his fighting spirit was ignited instantly, and his eyes blazed like torches.
Xu You, seeing him all of a sudden excited, sighed inwardly, ‘truly an enigmatic fellow.’
…
At the end of the year, Gu An stood on a cliff, braving the heavy snow, watching as the figures of the Celestial Spirit God and Tian Hao disappeared into the World Gate.
Gu An could see that their journey was going smoothly, but the cause and effect beyond the Misty Immortal Court became unpredictable, indicating that there lay mighty beings in the Misty Immortal Court not to be underestimated.
This was good; he needed the Misty Immortal Court to be strong enough now.
Moreover, Gu An felt that even if Tian Hao was targeted, he would not die; neither Profound Residence Immortal Monarch nor Taiyi Immortal Monarch seemed like they would send assassins for Tian Hao, but rather seemed more likely to capture him.
Just like the Seventy-Two Immortals of Jin Dong, upon discovering Tian Hao, they did not annihilate him with thunderous might, they even had the leisure to speak.
“Hao’er, what exactly is your origin?”
Gu An’s gaze turned profound, his thoughts stretched even further.
Who sent An Hao to Ziwei Immortal Palace?
Why did they send An Hao away to escape the control of the Celestial Court?
Even though he had reached Miaozhen Daluo Immortal Realm Perfection in Cultivation Level, there were still things beyond his comprehension.
He wasn’t troubled by this, for he had means to resolve his current perplexities.
That is to breakthrough!
As long as he was strong enough, he would be able to see through the fog that lay before him.
Gu An looked for a while, then turned and walked down the mountain. The heavy snow soon covered his figure, and the footprints he left behind quickly disappeared, without leaving a trace.
Time is like this snow, erasing all marks in the world.
Given enough time, even the strongest and most magnificent things will fade away.
Ten years later.
An Xin followed Gu An on the mountain ridge, the setting sun stretched their shadows long.
“Master, don’t deceive me, we are still on the Nine Spirit Continent, how could we reach the place Tian Hao wants to go? You wouldn’t use this as a metaphor, to teach me some life lessons, would you?”
An Xin couldn’t help questioning, her face filled with suspicion.
If that was truly the case, then she would have to…
Forget it!
Since he is the Master, she could only endure.
Gu An laughed and said: “What’s the hurry? Use your Immortal Emperor’s Eye to sense it.”
Upon hearing this, An Xin immediately activated her Immortal Emperor’s Eye, and her pupils turned purple. Her view of the world changed.
She found that their surroundings were not the forests of the Nine Spirit Continent, but a mysterious cosmic void. A grey airflow came from ahead, and upon careful sensing, she realized that it was the breath of the Great Dao.
She was greatly shocked and began to seriously sense the Great Dao essences along the way.
What was going on?
Was this an Illusion Divine Power?
Or had she actually arrived in another place?
An Xin, filled with curiosity, watched Gu An’s figure ahead.
Gu An continued to walk leisurely as if stepping over rough mountain terrain, his strides not that of walking on flat ground.
Moreover, An Xin felt a strong sense of kinship emanating from Gu An. Without guessing, she knew it was the perception granted by Gu An’s Immortal Emperor’s Eye.
The Master who imparted her with the Immortal Emperor’s Eye, surely he himself had mastered such peerless Divine Skills.
She secretly compared and found that her Immortal Emperor’s Eye was far inferior to her master’s.
This gap was greater than any description in the world.
She felt that if she faced her master’s Immortal Emperor’s Eye, she might not even have the courage to resist. It was an immensely vast aura that made her feel incredibly insignificant.
“I have many disciples, and they have each received different parts of my inheritance, but the Immortal Emperor’s Eye, I have only passed it on to you alone. It is not only because this divine skill is difficult to cultivate, but also because I see the most potential in you. In fact, I think you are my most outstanding disciple, and you will surprise everyone,”
Gu An’s voice came from ahead, casual in tone, but the content of his words filled An Xin with joy and surprise.
Although she had followed Gu An for 88,000 years, it was the first time she had heard her master speak so highly of her.
Whether it was An Hao, Yang Jian, the current Celestial Demon Child, Blood Prison Great Saint, Lv Xian, or Chen Chuan, so many geniuses have appeared under the master’s guidance, she never dared to imagine that she would be the favorite disciple of her master.
An unprecedented surprise and touch filled her heart, converging into a mysterious force that caused changes in her Immortal Emperor’s Eye.
Purplish auras escaped from her Immortal Emperor’s Eye’s purple pupils, entwining around her eye sockets and branding into unusual purple Dao Patterns.
Although Gu An, walking ahead, did not look back, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.
An Xin’s Immortal Emperor’s Eye had transformed!
The reason for the transformation was not just because of Gu An’s words, which were just a catalyst; the main influence was the surrounding Dao Intent.
At this moment, they were walking on the Path of the Great Dao, surrounded by the intent of the Great Dao.
The Path of the Great Dao is boundless and beyond ordinary natural forms. He used the Daoless Celestial Net Step to walk on the edge of the Great Dao Path, where no one could detect their presence.
But this path was very dangerous, and the slightest carelessness could lead to complete annihilation.
An Xin was unaware of the fortune she was in; she could feel changes within herself, which made her even more grateful to her master.
Time seemed to stand still as An Xin gradually entered a state of self-forgetting.
Her Immortal Emperor’s Eye allowed her to see many impactful images.
In absolute darkness, a big explosion occurred, giving birth to the universe, with countless shards of rock flying and becoming pieces of worlds, which then gave birth to all living things.
She saw the origin and destruction of life, the collision of Dao creating the Rules of Heaven and Earth, and she even saw terrifying figures standing with their backs to all living beings at the site of the explosion.
So many images overwhelmed her sight, and during this process, she absorbed some power.
This power came from the Great Dao!
To absorb the power of the Great Dao from something akin to an illusion was beyond An Xin’s own comprehension.
She realized that she still didn’t understand the Immortal Emperor’s Eye completely.
Perhaps the reason her master said she was his most outstanding disciple was mainly because she had cultivated the Immortal Emperor’s Eye.
“Master once said that the Immortal Emperor’s Eye holds different divine skills for different individuals, and they are very profound. Perhaps my Immortal Emperor’s Eye is more than just about absorbing power for my own use…” An Xin thought to herself as she continued to immerse in the current fortune.
She didn’t know how much time had passed, it could have been a day or two, or maybe thousands of years.
Suddenly.
An Xin suddenly woke up, stumbled, nearly bumping into Gu An, but fortunately, Gu An steadied her with his index finger on her forehead.
“We have arrived,”
Gu An said with a smile to An Xin, who came back to her senses and looked around subconsciously.
They were standing amidst a brilliant starry sky, countless stars and varying massive nebulae visible in every direction, all so beautiful it seemed unreal.
An Xin was still immersed in the fortune of her Immortal Emperor’s Eye and felt a sense of loss. She asked subconsciously, “Where is this place?”
Gu An looked in a certain direction and said, “Misty Immortal Court, where your senior brother will practice in the future, and perhaps he will Ascend to Immortality there.”
Upon hearing this, An Xin fully awakened, her curiosity prompted her to ask, “Could it be that Immortal Gods reside here?”
Gu An replied, “Not exactly, but Immortal Gods have been born here.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a rainbow light streaked across the depths of the starry space ahead. It was a cultivator who looked like an Immortal, with an extraordinary demeanor, surrounded by several treasures, moving at an extremely fast speed.
He suddenly stopped, not far from Gu An and An Xin, stood still, his eyes widened, his body trembling slightly.
This scene left An Xin puzzled, and just as she was about to ask, her eyes suddenly widened.
Suddenly, a figure burning with black flames appeared out of nowhere behind the cultivator, as tall as a hundred feet, like a mountain behind him.
The figure with the black flames was raising its right hand, with the index finger touching the cultivator’s head.
