Chapter 693: Chapter 685: Removing the Son of Heaven
An Zizai was shaken by Gu An’s words for a long time; when he came to his senses, he began to seriously ponder the words of the Ancestor.
Should he choose revival?
He indeed lacked the courage to say he could protect others for a lifetime, let alone those old friends who had been dead for many years and might have already reincarnated.
He remembered his master once said that reincarnation is natural, and many Great Powers even rely on reincarnation for cultivation.
Knowing that his old friends had entered reincarnation brought him some comfort.
He originally thought that his old friends would be lost forever, with no hope for reincarnation.
After contemplating for a long time.
An Zizai looked at Gu An and replied, “Let things take their natural course. I don’t want to interfere in their lives anymore, but I will strive to cultivate, avenge them, and fulfill my mission.”
The brother closest to him had said before dying that perhaps he was the hope to overthrow the Beidou Sect, that he would become the Savior.
In the eyes of those people, the Beidou Sect was the most powerful existence, covering the skies with one hand, and An Zizai had also felt the strength of the Beidou Sect. For now, he couldn’t think of how to topple the Beidou Sect.
The Human World was vast, and almost every place he had been to was under the control of the Beidou Sect, even when encountering cultivators of the Qiankun Sect, they were full of dread for the Beidou Sect.
From a young age, An Zizai had been instilled with the idea that his Ancestor was the strongest, but after going out once, this thought wavered; even knowing the Ancestor could enter reincarnation, he did not feel that the Ancestor could reverse the fortunes with sheer personal power.
After hearing An Zizai’s choice, Gu An said nothing more. An Zizai then paid his respects and turned to leave.
An Zizai’s aura attracted the attention of the dojo disciples, who left their seclusion one after another to seek out An Zizai.
Gu An continued fishing, but his ears were eavesdropping on their conversations.
When the Wushiji disciples learned of An Zizai’s experiences, they were filled with righteous indignation; even the Celestial Demon Child wanted to visit the Beidou Sect, but in the end, was subdued by An Xin.
“Uncles, I will take this revenge personally. From now on, I will train diligently. I have seen the worldly affairs of the Human World, and I will not let you down again!”
An Zizai said earnestly, having reignited his fighting spirit after conversing with the Ancestor and many mentors.
Though he had lost much, he was not left with nothing.
He not only had to seek revenge but also to protect the Wushiji.
Emperor Tianhong snorted and said, “What Beidou Sect? When you want revenge in the future, I will accompany you. Rest assured, you shall collect the heads of your enemies.”
An Zizai couldn’t help but look at Emperor Tianhong; of all the uncles, Emperor Tianhong was the one he respected and feared the most, for Emperor Tianhong rarely spoke, often just watching him in silence.
Though Emperor Tianhong didn’t like talking to him, he had taught him spells, making him family in An Zizai’s heart.
Moreover, An Zizai believed that Emperor Tianhong could very well be the second strongest within the Wushi, next only to the Ancestor, and the aura exuded by Emperor Tianhong made him aspire.
Hearing such grand words from Emperor Tianhong, An Zizai did not question it; instead, it made his heart warm, filling him with a profound sense of security.
With such mentors around, the unease brought by the Beidou Sect gradually dissipated.
An Xin glanced at Emperor Tianhong and said, “You should still cultivate diligently!”
Emperor Tianhong shifted his gaze and did not retort.
“Nephew, tell us what the current Human World is like?” Celestial Cyan looked at An Zizai and asked curiously.
An Zizai nodded and began to describe the landscapes he had seen, including the Sword Sect founded by Chen Chuan.
The Wushiji disciples had also gone out to train before, comparing their memories with An Zizai’s descriptions, which made them feel the world had changed greatly. Unfortunately, they could not grasp from An Zizai’s words what the top cultivation level in the Human World was now.
When An Zizai mentioned that the Ninth Heaven of the Immortal Path was the Zi Zai Immortal Realm, his face was filled with a look of longing, which almost made the crowd laugh, but they restrained themselves and tactfully did not expose it.
…
Within the Qi Sea of the Path of the Great Dao, the stars shone brilliantly, and a beam of golden light swept across the top of the Qi Sea, countless figures advancing within it, all donned in golden battle armor, with an imposing and unstoppable aura.
Zhang Buku and Xu You walked amidst the Celestial Army, rather inconspicuous.
Their gazes were fixed on the hulking figure at the forefront of the army.
Celestial Calming God!
Celestial Calming God was clad in heavy and commanding celestial armor, wielding a large saber, with Dharma Aspects ebbing and flowing around him as he walked.
“Are we dealing with the Chaos Evil Demon again this time?”
Zhang Buku asked Xu You in a low voice, while other Heavenly Soldiers were also discussing, all very excited.
To be able to enter the Celestial Army, one must be a peerless talent and a Great Power from various realms, and they only got excited about combat.
In great battles, it’s the easiest to seize destiny and accumulate merit; their goal is to become a Celestial God like the Celestial Calming God.
Xu You replied, “Probably not. If it were the Chaos Evil Demon, there would have been word of it long ago. There hasn’t been a whisper, which means that perhaps what’s happening next isn’t by the will of the Cangtian but a personal matter of the Immortal Gods.”
His gaze swept from side to side, seemingly searching for someone.
“A personal matter of the Immortal Gods?” Zhang Buku was even more puzzled.
“Do not assume the Immortal Gods only act for all living beings. They too have their struggles over interests.” Xu You said, his face calm beyond measure.
Shedding his beggar appearance, even wearing the Heavenly Soldiers’ battle armor, he looked unsuited, unlike Zhang Buku who seemed imposing and majestic.
“Why is this not about seeking treasures for the Immortal Gods? How do you conclude it’s an internal struggle among the Immortal Gods?” Zhang Buku pursued further.
He had long realized Xu You wasn’t simple; in the Taize Great World, Xu You already acted as if omniscient. Now that they were within the Celestial Army, Xu You could still answer his questions, filling him with confusion.
Based on their tens of thousands of years of life-and-death bonds, however, he trusted Xu You wouldn’t harm him.
“Because this is the Path of the Great Dao, a place that cannot be deduced, and where the destiny of the Celestial Court cannot encompass. Acting here won’t be discovered by the Celestial Court, and even if an Immortal God falls here, it’s hard to find the true culprit.”
Xu You’s words made Zhang Buku frown, and the surrounding Heavenly Soldiers, upon hearing this, inquired with Xu You.
The two had joined the Celestial Army for hundreds of thousands of years and made many friends. Xu You had no reservations and answered whoever asked him.
The Celestial Calming God at the forefront seemed not to notice him and never looked back.
Time swiftly passed.
The golden light extended infinitely, and the Celestial Army’s steps never halted, as though trudging along an endless path.
For a long time.
A vast and overwhelming pressure emanated from ahead, enveloping tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers within the army, causing them all to change their expression.
Celestial Calming God halted his steps, and with his pause, all Heavenly Soldiers followed suit, feeling the terrifying pressure from the front, standing solemnly and not daring to speak.
“Celestial Calming God, do you truly intend to annihilate us to the bitter end?”
A voice filled with murderous intent resounded from the front, the tone full of indignation.
Celestial Calming God’s face was expressionless as he said, “Choosing the wrong team, picking the wrong camp, one should face a fate of endless calamity, no matter where you flee. You should be grateful that it’s me coming instead of that Immortal Monarch.”
The mysterious voice followed, “Ridiculous, even the Son of Heaven dares to eliminate you. Your fate and that of Huang Feng Immortal Monarch will be worse than mine!”
