Chapter 700: Chapter 692: The Supreme Celestial Emperor
“How do you wish me to choose?”
After much thought, Profound Mysterious Zhenren decided to inquire about Gu An’s attitude.
He owed his current achievements entirely to Gu An’s support, and he believed Gu An would not harm him. Even if he was merely a pawn for Gu An, he would willingly accept it.
Gu An replied, “Naturally, I hope you can accept it, and perhaps in the future, you could use this body to enter the Immortal Class.”
Profound Mysterious Zhenren narrowed his eyes and asked, “Do you want me to infiltrate the Celestial Court?”
So clever!
Gu An spoke earnestly, “Immortal Gods exist, but they disregard all living beings. Some even commit evil deeds in the Human World. I think there might be issues within the Celestial Court that creates Immortal Gods.”
The reason he chose to give the Demon God Body to Profound Mysterious Zhenren was twofold: to genuinely help him change his fate, and because Profound Mysterious Zhenren yearned for Immortal Gods, thus he could send him to the Celestial Court as a spy.
The Destiny of the Celestial Court is complex and cannot be predicted, but if a spy is planted, they can still investigate the internal situation of the Celestial Court.
After hearing this, Profound Mysterious Zhenren thought it made sense. The current Immortal Gods were indeed strange. They were not seen saving the world; instead, many catastrophes arose because of them.
“Then I am willing to possess this body, thank you for your grace!”
Profound Mysterious Zhenren immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Gu An.
If it weren’t for Gu An’s care, he wouldn’t have lived this long. Even though he was already hundreds of thousands of years old, his path of cultivation was still hopeful, all thanks to Gu An.
Moreover, he believed Gu An was greatly virtuous. Without Gu An, the world he resided in would have been destroyed several times already.
No matter the underlying reasons, born in the Celestial Spirit Great World, he should take its side. Whoever protected it was the true Immortal God in his heart.
Gu An, looking at Profound Mysterious Zhenren kneeling in front of him, couldn’t help but think back to fifty-six thousand years ago, when Profound Mysterious Zhenren had also knelt to him like this.
He wondered whether this arrangement was a blessing or a curse for Profound Mysterious Zhenren?
Gu An did not hesitate. He had already explained the pros and cons and his intentions to Profound Mysterious Zhenren, which was also what the latter sought.
He believed that Profound Mysterious Zhenren was not compelled by his power.
Profound Mysterious Zhenren surely knew that even if he refused Gu An, Gu An would not trouble him.
“Then let’s begin.”
…
On a desolate meteor on the Path of the Great Dao, Zhang Buku opened his eyes, quickly stood up, and looked around. He found himself surrounded by Heavenly Soldiers.
Xu You stood by his side, frowning as he looked into the distance.
Zhang Buku couldn’t help but ask, “Did that person leave?”
Xu You nodded and said, “The other party didn’t harm us; they probably left to save someone.”
Following his gaze, at the horizon, the Celestial Calming God was meditating on a cliff, with his back to hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers.
“What’s wrong with him?” Zhang Buku whispered, also staring at the Celestial Calming God.
Xu You replied, “He might be transmitting information.”
He took a deep breath, turned to Zhang Buku, and asked, “Did you feel anything during the previous great battle?”
Hearing this, Zhang Buku began to recall carefully, thinking of the terrifying scene that seemed to suppress the world, and he still felt fear.
After a while.
Zhang Buku hesitantly said, “That person had a kind of Destiny similar to the Daoist Emperor, but different from it.”
The Great Dao Destiny was no secret to him. He currently had access only to the Celestial Dao Destiny and Daoist Emperor. Whether becoming a Celestial Dao Immortal God or a Daoist Emperor, one would possess unparalleled divine power in the same realm.
Now there was a new type!
Gu An’s Great Dao Destiny made him feel an extremely fierce aura that directly confronted the soul and Dao Heart.
“Indeed, it’s another kind of Great Dao Destiny. The heavens are about to change,” Xu You said softly, his words full of complexity.
Zhang Buku asked in confusion, “Change?”
“A long time ago, when the Daoist Emperor was born, it once triggered a catastrophe that swept through the Three Thousand Great Worlds and all the heavens, even affecting the Celestial Court. Although the Celestial Court disdained the Daoist Emperor, once there were many Daoist Emperors, they attempted to overthrow the Celestial Court’s rule. If this Great Dao Destiny also flourishes, it will inevitably challenge the divine might of the Celestial Court.”
Xu You’s voice was filled with emotion.
“Do you mean the Celestial Court will hunt down this kind of Destiny?”
“No, the Celestial Court is arrogant. They disdain all existence, especially the supreme Celestial Emperor. He can allow all forces to grow. The conflicts between the Celestial Court and all the heavens are basically about offending a certain Immortal God, rather than the will of the entire Celestial Court.”
Mentioning the Celestial Emperor, Xu You’s eyes shone with a light Zhang Buku had never seen before.
Zhang Buku could feel Xu You’s immense reverence for the Celestial Emperor, sparking unlimited curiosity about him.
What kind of being is the Celestial Emperor?
Meanwhile.
In another plane on the Path of the Great Dao, Blood Prison Great Saint and Fang Xuan were blocked by a group of people.
“Do you also wish to pursue the Primordial Dao Emperor?” Blood Prison Great Saint asked with a raised eyebrow.
The Primordial Dao Emperor had already taken root and flourished on the Path of the Great Dao. Blood Prison Great Saint didn’t think this was a secret, nor did he know that the Primordial Dao Emperor was something Gu An had pioneered.
After the previous great battle, he assumed that Gu An was also the Primordial Dao Emperor. It made sense: if Gu An wasn’t the Primordial Dao Emperor, why would he let them cultivate as the Primordial Dao Emperor?
As for Gu An sending him to gather information, he understood it. Even though he had begun reincarnation projection, his understanding of the Primordial Dao Emperor was still insufficient.
Not to mention the Primordial Dao Emperor, those Daoist Emperors who achieved their own Great Dao Destiny probably didn’t know enough about it.
Xuanji Emperor nodded and said, “Indeed, that fiercely powerful Great Dao Destiny suits me more.”
Having witnessed Gu An’s power, he was enthralled by such a powerful and domineering aura. Even though he was already close to becoming a Daoist Emperor, he decided resolutely to abandon it.
In his eyes, the Daoist Emperor was just a form of power, not his lifelong pursuit. Now, with the emergence of a stronger and more alluring power, how could he hesitate?
The people following Xuanji Emperor had similar thoughts; they were very curious about the Primordial Dao Emperor.
“To tread the Primordial Emperor Road, you must find the Primordial Crystal; it will guide you into the path…” Blood Prison Great Saint began introducing the Primordial Crystal.
A proud talent behind Xuanji Emperor had a slight change in expression because he had encountered a Primordial Crystal before but hadn’t paid much attention to it, thus secretly blaming himself for being blind.
After chatting for a while, Xuanji Emperor finally thanked them and left.
Blood Prison Great Saint and Fang Xuan both received Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from him, which made them feel favorable toward him.
This person was different from other proud talents on the Emperor Road; he was not that arrogant and acted considerately.
Watching them leave, Fang Xuan smiled and sighed, “My path is not lonely. I truly look forward to the day when the Primordial Dao Emperor overshadows the Daoist Emperor.”
Blood Prison Great Saint laughed, “That day will surely come. The Daoist Emperor’s path of proving the Dao, like raising venomous creatures, goes against the natural Daoist Technique, and will ultimately be eliminated.”
