Chapter 1050: Chapter 1041: Supreme Goodwill

“What’s wrong with joining the fun? We may have been playing along the way, but haven’t you gained any insight at all?”

Gu An looked ahead and spoke casually.

Long Teng couldn’t help but think carefully, realizing it was indeed so. He hadn’t been cultivating, yet his cultivation level had indeed increased.

Could this be the true path of cultivation?

“Silly child, that’s only because you’re by my side that you have such effects.”

Gu An secretly smiled. Indeed, Long Teng’s gloomy look now was quite amusing. He could often tease him. If he was still the righteous and heroic type he was before, he wouldn’t be easily fooled.

He continued to ramble: “The Great Dao is in the Human World. If you can attain Enlightenment, you will see through everything, find your true self, and even make amends for all.”

Upon hearing these words, Long Teng’s eyes sparkled.

Make amends for everything?

Long Teng began to look forward to his future life, as he had already come to terms with himself.

The past cannot be changed; what matters is the future.

He no longer wanted to restore the Long Clan, but he would remember the past of the Long Clan.

The beings persecuted by the Long Clan have long vanished into the annals of time, and even the Long Clan has been forgotten. Bearing the sins has no meaning.

The two continued forward, listening to other cultivators’ discussions along the way.

“It’s said that Hong Xuan became a Golden Immortal at a hundred years old, attained the Daluo Dao Fruit at ten thousand years old, and across the Three Thousand Great Worlds, such talent is unmatched.”

“Really? That’s just too ridiculous.”

“What do you think gives the Shaking Light Holy Land the confidence to host such a grand event? They have the assurance!”

“This event also includes Immortal God Reincarnations, definitely thrilling.”

“Compared to that, I’m more curious about the results of the All Heavens Cause and Effect Tree.”

Listening to these words, Long Teng became intrigued as well.

He once was a prodigy, renowned across the realms, but compared to this realm’s prodigies, he was nothing.

To attain the Daluo Dao Fruit at ten thousand years…

He was millions of years old, yet the Daluo Dao Fruit was still a distant dream.

Having seen Immortal Gods, his mindset had already transformed. Even if he didn’t admit it, deep down, he was already prepared to face anything.

Today, upon hearing about Hong Xuan’s deeds, Long Teng felt abandoned by the era, or it was like a wake-up call.

Heavenly Dao prodigies emerged one after another, while he wallowed in self-pity?

Long Teng took a deep breath and asked, “Ancestor, is this Central Heaven?”

Only Central Heaven could give birth to such prodigies, at least, that’s what he believed.

Gu An replied, “That’s right.”

Long Teng fell silent again, realizing he had wasted not just time over the years.

Meanwhile.

In the Heavenly Realm, inside the Palace of the Polestar.

Emperor Hong Yang stood atop the grand hall while the Celestial Emperor sat high above, and a light sphere floated between them, reflecting a magnificent and prosperous city. The city’s edge bordered a vast sea, majestic and expansive.

Emperor Hong Yang stared at the light sphere, his brows furrowed.

“Did you feel it?”

The voice of the Celestial Emperor came from the front, interrupting Emperor Hong Yang’s thoughts.

Emperor Hong Yang came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and said, “I feel it; his aura is strong, the same origin as mine.”

He already knew his true identity; he didn’t harbor hatred toward the Celestial Emperor because they had already resolved their differences.

The Celestial Emperor threw him into the Heavenly Dao not to seize his power, and the Celestial Emperor promised him that as long as he was exceptional enough, the position of Celestial Emperor would eventually be his.

Perhaps the previous Celestial Emperor was deceiving his offspring, but now, he indeed had the notion of abandoning the Celestial Emperor’s position.

He had grown weary of the act of passing the throne to himself; he just couldn’t see hope in becoming a Saint.

Now, he saw it; his vision and outlook had transformed.

“He was born within the Heavenly Dao. How should the Celestial Court treat him?”

The Celestial Emperor asked as he guided Emperor Hong Yang to consider from the perspective of the Celestial Emperor.

Emperor Hong Yang’s expression became complex, and he replied, “From the Celestial Court’s point of view, we should recruit him, but…”

Before finishing his sentence, he suddenly raised his hand to hold his head, showing a pained expression.

The Celestial Emperor frowned as he tried to deduce Emperor Hong Yang’s cause and effect but couldn’t see through.

Ever since the great transformation, the deducing of Emperor Hong Yang had become increasingly blurred; he didn’t know why, merely attributing it to the special nature of Hongmeng Will.

Emperor Hong Yang’s face twisted as he gritted his teeth and said, “But… there is a power protecting him, very strong… and it’s not from the Heavenly Dao…”

The Celestial Emperor did not panic, continually watching him.

After a while, Emperor Hong Yang suddenly knelt down on one knee, lowering his head and breathing heavily.

He looked up at the Celestial Emperor and trembled as he spoke, “Father… there is a Hongmeng Will that has always existed, it’s set its sights on the Celestial Court!”

The Celestial Emperor frowned. He wasn’t surprised but couldn’t help being cautious.

“Who is it?”

“Hongqian…”

Boom!

As Emperor Hong Yang’s words fell, a thunderous sound echoed outside the Palace of the Polestar.

The Celestial Emperor raised his eyes, his expression flickered.

He sensed a warning.

The opponent could penetrate the Celestial Dao Destiny!

“Was that strange feeling you brought to me back then?”

So thought the Celestial Emperor; he wasn’t flustered because he had already seen the opportunity to become a Saint.

However, at the present moment, he thought of one person.

The person he personally appointed as Merit Suppressing God Venerable.

What is the identity of this existence?

Instinct told him the opponent had no intention to oppose him.

Strangely enough, he remained vigilant towards everyone, yet somehow held trust in this person.

He didn’t think it was caused by Reincarnation’s overlap; he felt it was Gu An affecting him, reaching out with goodwill.

He already sensed that the opponent was stronger than he was, but surprisingly, he wasn’t too bothered. Chapters first released on N0velFire.ɴet

“No matter your intentions, I will not yield.”

The Celestial Emperor’s eyes regained their usual majesty, not putting Hongqian in his sights.

He would personally resolve Hongqian to show Merit Suppressing God Venerable.

The Celestial Emperor withdrew his gaze and looked at Emperor Hong Yang, saying, “Go to the Lower Realm and meet that Hongmeng Will named Hong Xuan.”

Emperor Hong Yang stood up, his condition rapidly recovered, he nodded to the Celestial Emperor, bowed respectfully, and then turned to leave.

The Celestial Emperor focused his gaze within the light sphere, feeling that the city hid something else.

During the conversation between him and Emperor Hong Yang, time passed faster in Central Heaven; the great gathering of prodigies had begun.

Gu An and Long Teng sat atop a rooftop pavilion, sipping wine and gazing at the sky.

Looking around, there were many pavilions in the city with such towers, all filled with spectators.

A massive light screen hovered above the city, reflecting an epic battle. This light screen was very mysterious, as no matter the viewpoint, one felt as though they were in the scene.

Long Teng watched intently and remarked, “Hong Xuan hasn’t even appeared yet, and these other prodigies already make me pale in comparison; truly worthy of Central Heaven.”

Gu An swirled his wine cup, saying, “In the future, you’ll be mightier than them.”
