Chapter 674: Chapter 666: Changes of the World
Two hundred thousand years after the reshaping of Heaven and Earth, figures of both humans and demons have spread across the Celestial Spirit Great World, and the Celestial Dao Destiny that shrouds the Great World has also begun to change.
Those great powers who comprehend the rules of Heaven and Earth can all sense that the fate of the world is about to enter a completely new phase.
Time flies.
It has been a hundred thousand years since Gu An subjugated the Unbeaten Emperor Ancestor.
A hundred thousand years are enough to change the world, but only those great powers who remain in deep seclusion have not been affected.
Now, the human world has a new landscape, with an Imperial Dynasty named Taiqian rising. Supported by many super sects from the human world, within a hundred thousand years, Taiqian has aggressively expanded, and although it has not yet completely unified the world, its momentum has shown everyone the aura of a World Ruler.
The relationship between Taiqian and the Dao Court is somewhat tense. Their grievances are many, and it is difficult to discern who is right or wrong.
In early summer of this year, Gu An wandered with Emperor Tianhong within the Qiankun Sect, watching the recent internal competition. After the Combat ended, they went to an inn to drink wine.
[Name: Gu An]
[Life Span: 283,979/18,947,893,809,561]
[Physique: Primordial Dao Creation Body]
[Cultivation Level: Perfect Daoist Great Luo Immortal Realm]
…
Without much fighting and killing, the increase in life span isn’t very fast, but fortunately, it’s steady. Gu An is quite satisfied with this pace of increase.
For the next million years, there will be no catastrophe in the Celestial Spirit Great World, so his days will be very peaceful.
He has achieved the cultivation level of the Perfect Daoist Great Luo Immortal Realm, and he can now consider factors beyond the cosmos in his future predictions. His foresight includes the influence of the Three Thousand Great Worlds on the Celestial Spirit Great World, a prediction ability far surpassing before.
However, there are still unknown causes and effects he cannot factor in.
Tian Hao has already left the Celestial Spirit Great World, and it is challenging for larger causes and effects to descend upon the Celestial Spirit Great World again.
While pouring wine for Gu An, Emperor Tianhong curiously asked, “Master, recently a lot of mysterious talents have appeared in the Qiankun Sect. Might this be your handiwork?”
Gu An replied, “Yi Qingshan constantly begged me, so I had no choice but to recommend a batch of talents.”
This batch of talents is not simple; they are from the Undefeated Emperor Clan and would be considered top-tier talents even in the Primordial Emperor Domain. Coming to the Celestial Spirit Great World, none are inferior to Zhao Rushen.
Gu An first arranged for the Unbeaten Emperor Ancestor to deploy twenty people. These twenty have already established a foothold in the Qiankun Sect. They are very happy to have come to the Celestial Spirit Great World, for within the clan, they amounted to nothing, but here, they finally experienced the treatment of peerless talents.
The most important thing is that it’s the arrangement of the ancestor. Being able to serve the ancestor, they feel proud.
Under the admonishment of the Unbeaten Emperor Ancestor, these talents behaved very well, causing no trouble and actively making contributions to the Qiankun Sect.
“Does Wushi have other disciples?” Emperor Tianhong inquired further. The twenty talents from the Unbeaten Emperor Ancestor made a great impression during the Qiankun Sect’s competition. He felt their talent was not inferior to his own, which surprised him greatly.
Gu An shook his head and said, “It’s just a bit of cause and effect with me.”
Seeing that Gu An didn’t want to elaborate, Emperor Tianhong stopped probing and shifted the topic to the millennium Combat within the Daoist Field of the Beginningless.
Every millennium, one-on-one sparring occurs within the Daoist Field of the Beginningless.
In the last bout, Emperor Tianhong faced the Blood Prison Great Saint.
He unexpectedly lost to the Blood Prison Great Saint!
This frustrated him greatly. He had thought himself to be the second disciple of Wushi, yet he was unable to defeat that seeming frivolous Ox Demon.
However, considering the Blood Prison Great Saint was his master’s only steed, he felt a sense of relief.
Now he just wanted to know what divine skills the Blood Prison Great Saint was cultivating that were so domineering.
Gu An answered, “Extreme Dao Combat Technique, it’s a Daoist technique I created during my reincarnation. It’s a technique distinct from divine skills, very difficult to cultivate, and even he has only barely entered the Dao.”
The Extreme Dao Combat Technique is a Daoist technique created by the Extreme, and among all the disciples, only the battle spirit of the Blood Prison Great Saint is qualified to cultivate the Extreme Dao Combat Technique.
Hearing this, Emperor Tianhong mused deeply.
He found that his master had many inheritances, and each disciple cultivated different paths, with no repetition, so he dared not ask his master to teach him the Extreme Dao Combat Technique.
He believed the Daoist technique passed to him by his master was not weak, only he had yet to reach the grand achievement to unleash its true power.
“After this internal competition ends, do me a favor by going down the mountain to Taiqian, find someone and teach him the Method of Cultivating Immortality, and give him a new name, Taiyi.” Gu An looked at the street outside the window and said softly.
As he spoke, he handed Emperor Tianhong a Jade Pendant, which would guide Emperor Tianhong to find that person.
Emperor Tianhong took the Jade Pendant and asked, “To what extent should I teach him, and do I need to bring him back?”
Gu An replied, “It’s up to you, at least ensure he has the power to defend himself. There’s no need to bring him back, nor should you take him as a disciple or reveal the name of Wushi.”
This instruction made Emperor Tianhong even more interested in that person.
The internal competition of the Qiankun Sect will last several months, as the sect’s establishment is vast, with many talented disciples participating. The final thirty winners will go to the Dao Court together to compete in the Magic Battle Conference, which symbolizes the highest talent in the world.
The millennial Heavenly Pride Magic Battle Conference is regarded as the most premier event between Heaven and Earth, and the rivalry of talents will bring unimaginable benefits to the sects backing them. It is truly a case of one person achieving Dao, elevating everything related to them.
After the Qiankun Sect’s competition ended, Emperor Tianhong set off.
Gu An, however, went to the Hidden Spirit Palace under the sea.
Chen Chuan’s parents, Xu Ling and Chen Luo, had long departed, and they joined Chen Chuan to develop the Sword Sect together. Without further curses, Gu An naturally paid less attention to them.
Even though Chen Chuan was Xiaochuan’s reincarnation, Gu An had already given enough care to his parents, with no need to keep watching all the time.
The Hidden Spirit Palace was desolate, with arrays of Medicine Gardens planted in front of the palace. The distribution was simple, and the colors pieced together gave off a bizarre sense of beauty.
The Deep Sea Dragon Carp opened its eyes and saw Gu An harvesting Medicinal Herbs. It immediately stood up.
Now it had the cultivation of a Divine Immortal of Wondrous Dharma; its temperament had become more mature than before, yet in its simple white robe with long hair reaching the ground, it still exuded a feminine grace.
Although it still had the appearance of a feminine grace outwardly, it already understood the difference between genders. After cultivating in the Hidden Spirit Palace for more than two hundred thousand years, it also harbored greater ambitions in its heart.
“Master, when will you let me adopt a few disciples to relieve my boredom?”
The Deep Sea Dragon Carp came beside Gu An, asking cautiously.
Since Chen Luo and his spouse left, it felt lonely, often having no one to talk to.
Gu An ignored its sigh, knowing well what it was thinking, and said, “Once you reach the Zi Zai Immortal Realm, I will permit you to travel for a thousand years to personally select and bring back nine disciples.”
Zi Zai Immortal?
The Deep Sea Dragon Carp’s expression changed slightly, indicating it might take another million years?
But thinking about its grand ambitions, it felt that even achieving the cultivation of the Freedom Realm was far from enough, and being able to cultivate nine disciples in the Zi Zai Immortal Realm would greatly aid its future vast undertaking.
“Thank you, Master!”
The Deep Sea Dragon Carp immediately bowed, thanking Gu An.
