Chapter 1094: Chapter 1085: Re-Creation
“Taoist Master? How interesting.”
In the mountain hot spring, Gu An leaned his head back, muttering to himself.
Steam surrounded his body, and his face was wet, while the Hongqian Ancestor and the Great Profound Yin Dominator stood by the hot spring, their backs to Gu An, gazing into the distance, discussing in low voices.
Gu An focused on the two saints outside the chaos discussing how to deal with the chaos. He was very interested in the Taoist Master they mentioned.
To command so many saints to serve him, this Taoist Master must be extraordinary.
Following the threads of causality of the two saints, he couldn’t see the Taoist Master clearly but could confirm that the Taoist Master was at the level of Primordial Taiyi True Saint Realm Perfect.
Such a cultivation level is enough to suppress most saints.
However, the Taoist Master was too far from the chaos and deliberately reduced causal contact, so Gu An couldn’t yet perceive him clearly.
Moreover, the Taoist Master was clearly hiding in a special domain, unable to be found.
Gu An had already seen the scene of the Evil Heart Yin Yang Array being activated. At that time, the Heavenly Dao and all living beings would hate the Celestial Court, unleashing an unprecedented Heavenly Tribulation.
The Celestial Court had long endured hardships, which was not surprising; any hegemon of the Dao Universe would face the same, for there are always those who want to overthrow them and take their place. Only by overcoming all obstacles can they remain standing eternally.
If they can withstand it, they will endure through the ages; if not, they will fall on the path, becoming mere traces of history.
From their perspective, the Celestial Court’s tribulations came swiftly, but for mortal spirits, the catastrophe brought on by the Luoxu Saint Dao was a legend from long, long ago.
The higher the cultivation level, the more blurred the perception of time becomes.
Just as mortal spirits do not care about the passage of a single breath.
Gu An watched for a while before withdrawing his gaze to focus on enjoying the innate hot spring.
The hot spring here was no ordinary spring; it was rich in spiritual energy, allowing even the living beings in the nearby mountains and forests, who did not understand cultivation methods, to grow rapidly. For the living beings of this human world, this place was a forbidden zone.
The Hongqian Ancestor and the Great Profound Yin Dominator were observing a group of lost Sect disciples. Entangled by evil spirits and on the verge of mental collapse, they were internally divided and quarreling, almost ready to fight. Follow current novels on novel(ꜰ)ire.net
The Hongqian Ancestor and the Great Profound Yin Dominator were merely watching the spectacle because among these Sect disciples was someone tainted with the causality of saints beyond the chaos, knowingly fanning the flames to lead them toward disaster.
“The Holy Dao truly penetrates everywhere. Mortal spirits are truly ignorant,” remarked the Hongqian Ancestor, showing a look of disdain.
The Great Profound Yin Dominator replied, “Not so ignorant; they have no knowledge of the Holy Dao, and the Holy Dao does not only choose them. The Holy Dao covers all living beings, and some will choose it. Such choices will lead them down a different path.”
The Hongqian Ancestor turned to look at the Great Profound Yin Dominator, curiously asking, “Can you too achieve this extent?”
“I cannot. As long as there are living beings and worlds in any Dao Universe, there will be the Great Dao, which is universal. Infusing one’s saintly intent into the Great Dao can radiate anywhere,” the Great Profound Yin Dominator replied calmly.
“Isn’t that an unsolvable situation? Even saints are powerless against saints?”
“How could that be? Simply abandon the invaded living beings and recreate them; it’s not difficult. The only difficulty is in the letting go,” the Great Profound Yin Dominator’s words sent chills down the Hongqian Ancestor’s spine.
Indeed.
This way, it could be avoided.
The Hongqian Ancestor suddenly understood why Gu An chose the Celestial Emperor.
Abandonment is effortless; persistence is the hardest.
The always solitary Hongqian Ancestor once again felt admiration toward the Celestial Emperor and respect for Gu An.
From the actions of the Celestial Emperor, one could discern what kind of people Gu An admired, capturing a glimpse of Gu An’s nature.
The Hongqian Ancestor didn’t want to be such a person, but he couldn’t help but admire it.
“After the Celestial Emperor, besides me, who else is most likely to become a saint?”
The Hongqian Ancestor changed the topic, not wanting to be trapped in a certain emotion. What Celestial Emperor, he would eventually surpass and trample underfoot!
The Great Profound Yin Dominator answered, “There are several whose saint signs are already apparent. Even if their cultivation level is far below yours, you might be surpassed.”
These words instantly provoked the Hongqian Ancestor, who quickly said, “Impossible, the master said I would be the third saint!”
“Do you think that includes himself? Moreover, he said you were the most hopeful,” the Great Profound Yin Dominator’s tone carried a mocking edge, sending shivers down the Hongqian Ancestor’s spine.
The Hongqian Ancestor couldn’t imagine being surpassed by the younger generation.
Time continued to pass.
Two hours later, Gu An was dressing while walking toward them.
“Let’s go, continue our journey,” Gu An said with a light smile.
The Hongqian Ancestor curiously asked, “Master, should we help those cultivators?”
“Help with what? If you help everyone you meet, wouldn’t the order of heaven and earth be in chaos, unless you particularly want to intervene,” Gu An casually replied.
He only helped those among the suffering living beings who had no choice, while these cultivators had chosen to come seeking opportunities and must bear the consequences of their choices.
As for those chosen by the Holy Dao among them, he could care less.
There were far too many such people in the Heavenly Dao.
Upon hearing this, the Hongqian Ancestor nodded slightly, realizing that the master was simply passing through here with no other intention.
He turned to lead the horse, while the Great Profound Yin Dominator lifted the shoulder pole.
…
Central Heaven, Tai Cang Dynasty.
The Tai Cang Dynasty had stood for tens of millions of years, ancient and powerful, dominating a territory with myriad races submitting to its rule.
This dynasty’s emperor had always been only one person, Li Xuandao.
On this day, deep within the Imperial Palace’s Imperial Garden, Li Xuandao was hosting Long Teng and Yang Jian.
After becoming a Lingxiao Daoist, Li Xuandao’s status soared, and his fame spread far and wide. Many Daoist lineages and races came to befriend him. Recently, he was preparing to preach the Dao, leading many to believe he was about to expound on the Primordial Saint Path, and thus they flocked to hear him.
Yang Jian and Long Teng had also come upon hearing the news.
They were once Li Xuandao’s most favored generals, and although many years had passed, their relationship remained close.
Li Xuandao recounted his past experiences in the Palace of the Polestar, which Long Teng and Yang Jian listened to intently.
To these two, Li Xuandao was even closer than his own sons, holding nothing back. The battle of the saints stirred both of their hearts, making them yearn for more.
After he finished speaking, Yang Jian curiously asked, “By the way, Your Majesty, where is my master? Why didn’t he go to the Palace of the Polestar to hear the Dao teachings?”
Li Xuandao shook his head with a smile, “You underestimate your master. What do you think allowed me to enter the Palace of the Polestar? The Celestial Emperor is a saint, and your master undoubtedly is as well.”
Saint!
Yang Jian was immediately excited, recalling the past, feeling as if it were a dream.
Though surprised, Long Teng handled it better than Yang Jian, as he had previously traveled with Gu An. Regardless of how powerful Gu An was, he found it reasonable.
“I plan to invite your master to join us in discussing the Dao, and then you can meet him,” Li Xuandao stroked his beard and smiled, a statement that made both Long Teng and Yang Jian’s eyes light up.
