Chapter 1060: Chapter 1051: Wushi Rights and Wrongs

Gu An did not gaze at Chang Lanzhi and Yue’er, nor did he pay attention to their master’s panic; scaring that disciple a little might even be beneficial, lest the disciples’ minds become too constrained.

The number of disciples in the Wushi Realm continued to grow, and naturally, factions and circles increased in number as well. Despite the backdrop of unity and peace, minor frictions would still arise. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ n0velfire.net

After wandering around the Wushi Realm for a few days, Gu An went to meet with An Xin.

An Xin was very pleased with his visit, as she had too many matters where she hoped her master could make decisions for her.

An Xin’s Taoist Palace was large and grand in momentum, but the internal furnishings were very simple, with not much decoration.

She let Gu An sit in her seat while she stood by the side, beginning to pour out her grievances.

The Wushi Realm was growing larger, and so were the number of disciples. Although there had been no major turmoil, trivial matters piled up and could certainly become influential. How to manage the Wushi Realm well wasn’t something that high cultivation levels could determine.

Listening to her, Gu An realized it was nothing more than conflicts like those between Yue’er and her master. Without external threats, disciples born into a stable environment would inevitably yearn for freedom. Cultivation levels mattered to them, but not as much as before.

Moreover, with more disciples, power would expand. The allocation of resources also became a troublesome issue, and the disciples below would work hard to compete for them.

The Wushi Realm was good, but after staying there for a long time, the disciples would desire more things. No one could remain satisfied forever.

After An Xin finished venting her grievances, she sighed, “I suddenly realize that governing is actually more challenging in a peaceful environment without external enemies. Fairness has become the most important matter.”

Fairness is easy to speak of, but hard to implement, because it’s difficult to grasp what others truly want.

Especially when there are many people whose needs one must consider, and the relationships are all very close.

Within the Wushi Realm, every being is An Xin’s student or grand-student, with countless connections that she must tend to.

“Why, are you thinking of quitting?” Gu An asked with a smile.

An Xin shook her head and said, “Not really, instead, I feel more motivated. I just hope you can guide me on what should and shouldn’t be done. I’m afraid of causing irreparable harm to Wushi.”

Often, after dealing with disciples, she would feel regret but couldn’t bring herself to call them back.

She couldn’t determine whether her attitude might harm the disciples who sought her help.

The main reason for this situation was An Zizai being busy in seclusion, leaving her unaccustomed. Before the Wushi Realm was born, An Zizai was the one managing it.

The disciple had been managing it for many years, finally wanting to stop and cultivate. As their master, she felt awkward rejecting his wish.

“You’re overthinking it. Even if there is something, it is a personal choice. No disciple will be oppressed within the Wushi Realm, only desires unmet; that is their own doing. You could even select a few disciples to assist in management; there’s no need to handle everything personally.”

Gu An said helplessly. Deep down, he was quite pleased with An Xin’s sense of responsibility. As her cultivation level increased, An Xin hadn’t become arrogant; instead, she was even more cautious about people and affairs. This was why he entrusted the Wushi Realm to her.

An Zizai was also quite capable, even more adept at wielding power than An Xin, but he was too prone to act on emotions. Should he control the Wushi Realm, numerous dangerous futures might emerge, all of which Gu An had foreseen.

“Even if chaos truly arises, there’s still me. I will cover for you. No matter the right or wrong, no matter if someone hates you, I will always shield you.” Gu An said, rolling up his sleeves, speaking with a rare domineering tone.

An Xin was deeply moved after hearing this. These words carried an immense weight because Gu An would never say something so selfish or biased to others.

“Moreover, you must change your perspective. Being allowed into the Wushi Realm is already a tremendous grace. The Wushi Realm owes them nothing; getting in is the greatest fortune of their lives.” Gu An said earnestly.

This is also why he didn’t allow innate spirits to be born in the Wushi Realm, to prevent endless arguments.

After hearing this, An Xin felt it made sense. Indeed, the Wushi Realm was created by her master, and it could be a home for the Wushiji disciples, but only if her master was willing.

Upon realizing this, she felt a lot of pressure lifted off her shoulders, revealing a smile on her face. She asked, “Master, where have you been in these years? Can you tell your disciple?”

Gu An did not refuse and began recounting his experiences over the years.

He spoke about Long Teng, Su Han, and Hong Yuan, and also introduced the Nine Great Dao to her.

Having become the master of the Wushi Realm, An Xin would inevitably interact with the Nine Great Dao in the future because the Wushi Realm didn’t restrict disciples’ travels. This would surely lead to friction with the outside world, and once the existence of the Wushi Realm spread, it would be targeted by ambitious individuals.

The world is not short of those harboring unrealistic hopes; even the Celestial Court would be targeted.

Gu An spoke for half a day before finally summarizing his experiences over those years.

“It sounds plain, but I always feel that what you’ve done is related to the entire Heavenly Dao. Master, with the Nine Great Dao being so powerful, should Wushi accept one of them as a disciple?” An Xin asked.

Gu An said the Nine Great Dao possessed the potential to overturn the Heavenly Dao, which made her somewhat worried.

The longer one lives, the more one understands the terrifying depth of the Celestial Court. The higher the cultivation level, the more one comprehends the vastness of the Celestial Dao Destiny.

She couldn’t imagine anyone other than her master possessing such potential.

“Let nature take its course. Doesn’t Hong Yuan essentially count as a Wushiji disciple?” Gu An said offhandedly, standing up, stretching lazily, and stepping down the steps.

An Xin watched his departing figure and asked, “Master, when will you return next time?”

“We’ll see.”

As Gu An finished speaking, he disappeared from the hall.

Feeling pensive, An Xin noted the names of Long Teng and Hong Yuan, for it was clear her master valued them. If they ever came to the Wushi Realm, she could take extra care of them.

After leaving An Xin’s palace, Gu An went to visit Xiao Lan, Shen Zhen, Celestial Demon Child, Celestial Cyan, and Tian Bai in turn, and then to check on the disciples encountering obstacles in cultivation.

For him now, there was nothing urgent. Even if he didn’t cultivate, his cultivation level and lifespan continued to grow.

Gu An could relax, but others were not so at ease.

Deep within Chaos.

In a dim, solitary hall, the Emperor of Heaven Burial was meditating, still nursing his injuries, his face extremely unsightly.

Numerous faintly visible golden little dragons circled around him, resembling shadows, and when they were about to disappear, they would bite at his body.

The Emperor of Heaven Burial opened his eyes, exhaling a mouthful of foul air, and muttered to himself, “Celestial Emperor, I indeed underestimated you. You are stronger than past Celestial Emperors.”

After being severely injured by the Celestial Emperor, he had been nursing his wounds, yet he could never eradicate the force the Celestial Emperor left in him.

At this moment, a purple lightning bolt appeared out of nowhere in the vast, empty dark hall ahead, rapidly expanding like a space rift ripped open, with dark red mist surging inside, resembling an entrance to another dark world.
