Chapter 1063: Chapter 1054: The Sovereign Descends

When Xuanqing Star Monarch was reminding Li Ya, Gu An was drinking with Martial Resolution on a Floating Island in the Heavenly Realm. Surrounding them was an endless sea of clouds, beautiful and tranquil.

This Floating Island was located within a Cloud Realm under Gu An’s command. Upon closer inspection, there seemed to be massive figures faintly moving within the sea of clouds.

“I used to think the Divine Horse Celestial Official was a minor position. Now I see, I underestimated it. Such a vast Cloud Realm is under your control, and the presence of Divine Steeds here is incredibly strong. Impressive.”

Martial Resolution gazed into the distance and remarked with admiration.

Gu An smiled, pouring him a drink, without responding to these words.

Martial Resolution glanced at him and asked, “With your abilities, you shouldn’t need to serve as the Divine Horse Celestial Official. Why do you hide your cultivation level?”

Even having been to Central Heaven and ascended to the Celestial Court, Gu An remained an enigmatic presence in his heart. The position of the Divine Horse Celestial Official surely undervalued his capabilities.

Gu An smiled, “I became an Immortal God just for fun, to experience it. Besides, I do nothing, so there’s no need to pursue a higher Immortal Position.”

Martial Resolution found it reasonable, believing Gu An was only there for amusement.

“What about you? Why do you wish to Ascend to Immortality?” Gu An asked.

Martial Resolution didn’t pursue immortality before, but now he was striving wholeheartedly for the Immortal Position.

Upon hearing this, Martial Resolution’s face showed a subtle change as he said, “Ascending to Immortality can make me stronger. After all, I don’t have great Destiny or Great Cause and Effect, so I have to walk the path most cultivators take.”

Gu An nodded, following with a sigh, “Indeed, all living beings cultivate, isn’t it to Ascend to Immortality? But once we become Immortal, we see another side of it, and our fantasies about Immortality are shaken.”

“I don’t think too much about it. My current life is quite enjoyable,” Martial Resolution smiled.

Looking at the spirited him now, Gu An thought of the solitary him back in the Supreme Sect. It’s truly like two different people.

He was genuinely happy for Martial Resolution. Though he helped him secretly along his path to growth, Martial Resolution’s progress was inseparable from his own talent and bravery.

At least his care for Martial Resolution was far less than that for Li Ya, Zhang Buku, and others.

For the troubles Martial Resolution might face, Gu An didn’t plan to remind him, letting him experience them himself.

Martial Resolution, intent on becoming stronger, lacked reflection on himself.

What exactly did he stand for, apart from becoming stronger, what else did he want? These questions he had not yet thought through, he was even afraid to think about.

Because of this, he chose to ignore the torment that came with great power.

The two began reminiscing, recalling the days in the Supreme Sect.

They talked for nearly two hours before Martial Resolution stood up.

“My master has assigned me a task, I have to make a trip to the Primordial Emperor Domain.”

Martial Resolution smiled freely, then waved and left.

Gu An sat on the stool, watching him depart. In his eyes, the scene of Martial Resolution confronting Li Ya appeared.

Martial Resolution and Li Ya had a good relationship; the entanglements between them had to be resolved by themselves.

As long as it doesn’t turn too ugly, it’s fine. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NoveI[F]ire.net

Once Martial Resolution disappeared, Gu An also stood up, preparing to descend to the mortal world, though he was taking a different path.

…

Underworld.

Zhang Buku and Xu You stood before a mountain. The mountain was desolate, with no wild grass growing, their eyes focused on a figure at the mountain top.

The figure was none other than Zhang Chunqiu, with disheveled hair, standing tall, back facing Zhang Buku and Xu You.

A finger bone drifted to Zhang Buku’s side, and Hongqian Ancestor’s voice emanated from it, “He has been resurrected, but the Cause and Effect on him cannot be dispelled. There might be changes in him, which I cannot foresee.”

Hongqian Ancestor’s tone seemed indifferent, yet there was a faint unease in his heart.

He always worried about things he couldn’t grasp.

At his Realm, there are still Causes and Effects he couldn’t fathom. He dared not think about it.

But this was something the Saints guided him to do, so he could only comply.

“In any case, thank you, senior. His death back then was also due to an unknown Cause and Effect, and I was powerless. Only you could resurrect him, I am truly grateful.”

Zhang Buku stared at Zhang Chunqiu’s back and replied softly.

Hongqian Ancestor remained silent.

Instead of Zhang Chunqiu, he was now more curious about Zhang Buku.

What exactly was the relationship between this child and the Saints?

“What does he want?” Xu You’s wary voice sounded, followed by Zhang Buku frowning.

Only to see Zhang Chunqiu, standing at the mountain top, raising his arms as if welcoming something.

Suddenly.

Zhang Chunqiu turned his head, glancing down at Zhang Buku and Xu You with a sidelong look.

His gaze was so cold, filled with extreme malice, that even the fearless Xu You felt his heart chill under his stare.

Zhang Buku squinted his eyes, his gaze becoming sharp and cold.

“Trouble is brewing.”

Hongqian Ancestor’s voice echoed, and at this moment, he understood the intent of the Saints.

The Cause and Effect on that guy must originate from beyond Chaos!

For he sensed an aura from Zhang Chunqiu that far exceeded that of the Supreme Emperor of Ultimate Merging Dao.

Saint!

Hongqian Ancestor silently lamented.

Before, he couldn’t find the Saints, and now being drawn into them, fortune or disaster was unpredictable.

He could only pray Gu An was stronger, that Gu An wouldn’t kill him, and would let him work, suggesting the possibility of falling under Gu An’s command.

“Supreme Emperor of Ultimate Merging Dao? Are you the strongest existence in this Dao Universe?”

Zhang Chunqiu turned, his voice resonating through heaven and earth, revealing his entire face. Although his features seemed unchanged from before, his aura was entirely different.

At this moment, he seemed like a supreme god, looking down on ants.

Supreme Emperor of Ultimate Merging Dao?

Zhang Buku and Xu You instinctively looked at the hand bone concealing Hongqian Ancestor.

They hadn’t heard of this Realm, thinking it was Hongqian Ancestor’s title.

“I am not the strongest. The Heavenly Court Emperor and I stand in the same Realm, perhaps he is even stronger than I am.”

Hongqian Ancestor’s voice followed, also echoing between heaven and earth, not losing momentum to Zhang Chunqiu.

“The Celestial Emperor, he indeed is strong, but you are the most dangerous. You seek to gather the power of the Nine Great Dao. If you succeed, even the Celestial Emperor will fall at your hands.”

Zhang Chunqiu’s tone remained icy, and his words caused Zhang Buku and Xu You’s faces to change drastically.

This mysterious predecessor can actually match the Celestial Emperor? Even possessing the ability to kill the Celestial Emperor!

Having served as Immortal Gods, Xu You was once the Son of Heaven, they understood what the Celestial Emperor represented.

Trouble escalating to the level of the Celestial Emperor made Zhang Buku feel intense unease.

Could his father already be…

He dared not think further, his eyes starting to bloodshot.

“So knowledgeable about Chaos, who exactly are you?”

Hongqian Ancestor questioned, his tone was strong and unyielding.

Even though Zhang Chunqiu at this moment made him feel extremely dangerous, he remained unperturbed.

He had the backing of a Saint, what was there to fear?

“I am the Great Profound Yin Dominator, Reincarnation and the Underworld will fall into my hands. I offer you a chance, kneel, and worship me as your master, or you will cease to exist like the soul of this body.”

Zhang Chunqiu’s aura fully erupted, one that Zhang Buku and Xu You had never felt before, instantly giving them a chilling sense of impending annihilation.
