Chapter 675: Chapter 667: Taiwei Divine Court
Gu An did not look at the Deep Sea Dragon Carp; he continued to pick the medicinal herbs.
His heart was filled with emotion.
As the disciples’ time in cultivation grows longer, their hearts too begin to nurture ambitions.
This is quite normal, for cultivation is indeed pursued with some goal.
Gu An would not restrain the disciples for a lifetime.
With his promise to the Deep Sea Dragon Carp, the fate of the Deep Sea Dragon Carp changed. Long in the future, he would unify the ocean demon clans of the Celestial Spirit Great World, even transform into a dragon, establish the Dragon Palace, and would engage in an epoch-changing battle with the Immortal Cultivation Realm on the continent.
Seeing scenes of the future, Gu An did not think it was a bad thing.
Such conflicts are the choice of heaven and earth; without the Deep Sea Dragon Carp, someone else would do it. He could not claim that all wars are absolutely evil.
It is worth mentioning that when that great calamity comes, the Deep Sea Dragon Carp will also face a Wushiji Disciple, only that the two sides do not know each other.
The Deep Sea Dragon Carp did not know that Gu An was peering into his future, and he meticulously followed Gu An, narrating his recent cultivation confusions, which Gu An addressed one by one.
His upbringing of the Deep Sea Dragon Carp was not inferior to that of the Wushiji Disciple, after all, the Deep Sea Dragon Carp had been independently managing the Medicine Garden of the Hidden Spirit Palace with great merit.
The Deep Sea Dragon Carp was in the realm of the Divine Immortal of Wondrous Dharma, while the disciples within the Daoist Field of the Beginningless had the lowest cultivation level also being in the Divine Immortal of Wondrous Dharma Realm, among them An Xin and the Blood Prison Great Saint had already crossed into the Dao Void Profound Immortal Realm, reaching the Divine Thought True Immortal Realm.
Although their strength could not yet be considered great, Gu An was still satisfied with their growth speed.
After all, not everyone could be as favored as him. Even the most exceptional talent requires a long time to accumulate cultivation.
…
Under the magnificent blue sky, the mountains stretched continuously, with celestial giant trees rooted, towering over the surrounding majestic mountains, and there was more than one such tree.
Beneath a giant tree, thousands of cultivators gathered together, and even with so many people together, the diameter of the occupied area was still far less than the width of the main trunk of the giant tree.
Once the Holy Heaven Reincarnation and the former Lord of the Heavenly Spirit Great Heaven and Earth Holy Court, Zhu Xi, she stood among the crowd, listening to the person speaking at the front.
“The Divine Court is domineering, controlling the life and death of all living beings under heaven, and the cycle of reincarnation is at their command. The land upon which all beings dwell is divided by them. Those expelled by the Divine Court must leave the Taiwei Great World, but outside the Taiwei Great World lies a dark forbidden zone, with countless evil demons and ghosts lurking, waiting to swallow living spirits. We, imprisoned here, have nothing to await but exile…”
Zhu Xi, wearing a blue and white form-fitting robe, with her hair tied casually, exuded a demeanor of a chivalrous lady from the martial world.
Listening to the speech, her thoughts drifted away, a wry smile appearing on her face.
She was originally venturing in another Great World. Having awakened her origin divine soul, she was already a Profound Yuan Free Immortal, having re-established her own sect. Due to sectarian struggles, she was jointly targeted by the local major sects. In the midst of chaotic fighting, she deployed a secret technique, shattered the void, and escaped into the chaotic stream of the Great Dao.
Upon awakening again, she found herself in the Taiwei Great World. Just as she was about to acquaint herself with the new world, a group of cultivators descended from the sky, declaring her an outsider adventurer who must be detained, and thus she ended up here.
This Little World is the detention ground of the Divine Court, housing countless living beings, even those far exceeding her cultivation, and quite a few at that.
She wandered this place aimlessly until someone recruited her, inquiring if she wished to escape to safety.
Having ventured through numerous worlds, Zhu Xi deeply understood that one’s fate must be grasped in their own hands and could not sit idly by waiting for doom, and thus she came along.
Surrounding thousands, with the lowest cultivation level being the Zi Zai Immortal Realm, and the speaker’s Dao practice being deep and unmeasurable, reminiscent of the type of adversary she faced when departing the Celestial Spirit Great World.
“Even if my master were here, his Dao practice might still not be as profound as his. How terrifying a level of cultivation to be suppressed by the Divine Court, how formidable must this Divine Court be?”
Zhu Xi pondered alarmed, and thinking of her master made her feel a bit desolate.
Parting for over two hundred thousand years, she could not find her way back to the Celestial Spirit Great World and felt as though she might never return in this lifetime.
Only after leaving the Celestial Spirit Great World did she realize how magnificent the Great Dao was.
Because of this, her heart embraced even grander aspirations!
She wanted to restore the Holy Court, to elevate it to an existence surpassing the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
For now, she had to find a way to escape this place.
The more perilous the situation, the more she felt she could encounter great fortunes.
This Taiwei Great World surely harbors great fortunes beyond her imagination.
“Do you suppose what his cultivation level might be?”
A voice suddenly reached Zhu Xi’s ears, causing her to turn her head.
A handsome man came beside her, his face smiling, in stark contrast to the grave expressions on the faces of those around.
“How high?” Zhu Xi inquired.
The handsome man smiled and said, “He is an Innate Golden Immortal, above the Heaven-Encompassing Free Immortal.”
Zhu Xi’s pupils suddenly dilated. In the previous Great World, she had heard of the legends of Innate Golden Immortals, and she never expected to encounter one in a place like this.
The handsome man continued, “In this place, there are dozens of Innate Golden Immortals. Do you know the realm of the Divine Court cultivator guarding this place?”
“What is the realm?”
“That one’s realm is the Heaven Balancing Golden Immortal Realm, above the Innate Golden Immortal, with a hundred Innate Golden Immortals under him, suppressing this place, while within the Divine Court, the Heaven Balancing Golden Immortal is far from the summit.”
His words made Zhu Xi furrow her brows tightly, feeling a sense of despair.
With such a vast gap in cultivation, how could she escape?
No matter how it seemed, the upcoming actions of this group would all result in failure.
The handsome man looked at Zhu Xi and said with a faint smile, “I have a way to get you out of here.”
Zhu Xi frowned, cautiously asked, “We are strangers. Why are you assisting me?”
The handsome man grinned, “You bear the karma of the Celestial Court. It seems you are related to some celestial being from the Celestial Court.”
Zhu Xi’s brows knitted even tighter.
“Don’t overthink it, I was planning an escape anyway. Seeing you have such karma, I’d take you along.” The handsome man shrugged, wearing a carefree smile.
Zhu Xi deliberated and thought it prudent to first test him, so she said, “I am called Zhu Xi, and may I know your honorable name, Fellow Daoist?”
The handsome man replied, “I am named Meng Lang.”
Meng Lang?
Such a common name, Zhu Xi had encountered many bearing this name in various places.
She glanced around, puzzled, and asked, “It seems others can’t hear our conversation?”
The handsome man named Meng Lang smiled, “Naturally, since we are conspiring to escape, how could it be broadcast?”
“What do you intend to do? Are you also a Heaven Balancing Golden Immortal?” Zhu Xi looked intently at Meng Lang, seriously asking.
Meng Lang shook his head, “A Heaven Balancing Golden Immortal, possessing vast divine skills, I am not.”
Zhu Xi pursued, “Then are you an Innate Golden Immortal?”
