Chapter 1070: Chapter 1061: Celestial Dao Reincarnation
Even though Li Ya informed Gu An that the Celestial Court was targeted by mysterious forces, Gu An took no action and continued to live a leisurely life.
Besides occasionally taking time to return to Wushi or the Heavenly Realm, he spent most of his time wandering the Human World with the Hongqian Ancestor and the Great Profound Yin Dominator.
Hongqian Ancestor transformed into his old servant, while the headless appearance of the Great Profound Yin Dominator, though peculiar, was understandable in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, where others believed he was a corpse puppet crafted by Gu An.
In the vast sea of time, even Central Heaven experienced tremendous changes, let alone the Human World.
The Celestial Court’s actions to purge outsiders grew increasingly intense. Because the Celestial Emperor was busy in retreat, Emperor Hong Yang and some Celestial Dao Venerables began to vie for power. Under Cangtian’s watchful gaze, they used various means, constantly resulting in Immortal Gods being thrown into the Heavenly Prison or cast down to the Mortal World to suffer the pains of reincarnation.
The Celestial Court’s internal strife naturally influenced the realms of the Human World.
Some Immortal Gods, to escape the whirlpool of conflict in the Celestial Court, secretly descended to the Mortal World, wreaking havoc.
Others used the power they left in the Human World to pour dirt or found themselves wrongly accused, having to flee the Celestial Court to cling to a slim chance of survival.
Most importantly, a majority of the Immortal Gods focused their attention on the Heavenly Realm, neglecting governance of the Lower Realm.
Since taking in the Great Profound Yin Dominator, two hundred million years have passed.
On this day, within a Great Thousand World, Gu An rode a black horse along the mountain ridge.
Hongqian Ancestor led the horse by the reins ahead, while the Great Profound Yin Dominator staggered drunkenly behind.
Hongqian Ancestor gazed into the distance, the mountains all around were covered in flowers and grass, resembling a blue ocean, undulating in waves, magnificently vast and inspiring; only in the direction he looked, a ferocious battle was unfolding.
A giant demon with a towering bull’s head over two hundred zhang high wielded a large axe battling thousands of cultivators, the blood-laden gale intermittently swept through, turning the green sea on the plains, even stirring Gu An’s hair.
“Wherever you go nowadays, this is the scene of battle, not as peaceful as it was in previous years, much less fun.”
Hongqian Ancestor spoke, his tone edged with regret.
Having wandered with Gu An through the years, he gradually tasted the joys of the Human World; without power, yet in the ordinary, the True Meaning of the Great Dao also manifested.
It confirmed Gu An’s words, the Great Dao is omnipresent.
The myriad conditions of the Human World, all beings must enter reincarnation; is this not a form of fate? Even if the endpoint is the same, mortals can live out different splendid lives.
Hongqian Ancestor once empathized from the mortal’s perspective amidst hardship, discovering sometimes the mortal’s plight was even more desperate than the trials on the Path of Cultivation, devoid of any hope.
The Great Profound Yin Dominator, although not as sentimental as Hongqian Ancestor, would also calm down and seriously experience along the way.
Their cultivation levels are profound, but they did not cultivate from the Mortal Spirit stage; they were born to stand above all beings, their world, environment lacking rules like the Heavenly Dao.
“This is also the Celestial Dao Reincarnation, such scenes will appear and will also disappear.”
Gu An spoke in a relaxed tone, which surprisingly made Hongqian Ancestor hear a trace of cruelty.
Realizing this, cold sweat streamed down Hongqian Ancestor’s back.
He felt he had changed.
He couldn’t distinguish if this was a good omen, but if it continued for long, he feared his concept of the Heavenly Dao would change.
The group continued forward, bypassing the battleground; with a breath, they could stop this conflict instantly, but they did not, for cause and effect are infinite.
The Heavenly Dao is vast and remote, even if the cultivators deliberately avoid mundane cause and effect, as long as they are within, they will always be affected.
Not far from the battleground, a young boy covered in dust ran towards them; as he passed by the three of Gu An, he stopped, turned, and looked at Gu An’s back, his expression somewhat conflicted.
Standing there, he could already see the monstrous mist stirred up by the world-shaking giant demon, and the sky was gloomy and oppressive.
“May I ask if you are cultivators?”
The boy gritted his teeth and asked loudly.
Unfortunately, Gu An and the others did not reply.
The boy’s gaze shifted to the Great Profound Yin Dominator; the headless figure looked bizarre no matter how he viewed it, but Gu An’s demeanor made him feel he was not an evil person.
Immediately, he ran forward, blocked in front of Gu An’s horse, and opened his arms, looking nervously at Gu An.
Gu An reined in his horse and looked at the boy calmly.
Hongqian Ancestor sized up the boy, his expression increasingly peculiar.
With no response from the two, the boy grew more nervous, thus repeated the question, “Are you cultivators?”
Gu An and Hongqian Ancestor still did not answer him, making him even more uncertain inside.
Could it be these two did not understand his language?
Then, Hongqian Ancestor spoke: “You need not think about your hatred; the demon who killed your father is your real father, the father who died was merely your adoptive parent, and you do not need to seek immortal cultivation opportunity. Once you receive enough stimulation, it will trigger your bloodline inheritance, helping you step onto the path of cultivation.” This text is hosted at novelꞁire.net
The boy was stunned, his expression became colorful.
Hongqian Ancestor tugged on the horse’s reins, bypassed him, continuing onward.
“You…”
Hongqian Ancestor’s words hit the boy hard. His mind was chaotic as he followed Hongqian Ancestor’s thinking, nearly breaking down.
The Great Profound Yin Dominator passed leisurely beside him, a hair lightly falling onto his head without him noticing.
When the three had walked far, the boy sat paralyzed on the ground, unable to believe Hongqian Ancestor’s words, but had no choice but to think so; since he was alive, it indicated this speculation was very likely true.
“Can’t help but want to leave variables for the Human World?”
Riding the black horse, Gu An suddenly asked with a laugh, prompting Hongqian Ancestor to turn back towards the quietly trailing Great Profound Yin Dominator.
In the past two million years, Hongqian Ancestor had occasionally acted impulsively, Gu An did not prevent it. Precisely because of such experiences, Hongqian Ancestor’s concept of the Heavenly Dao had begun subtly transforming.
The Great Profound Yin Dominator was not like Hongqian Ancestor easily drawn into matters; always silent, today was his first action.
“It’s nothing, just his background resembles mine somewhat, and whether it counts as salvation for him is hard to say.” The Great Profound Yin Dominator answered sullenly.
He was not afraid of Gu An’s displeasure due to this act; he believed Gu An kept him around for a significant purpose.
He was not like Hongqian Ancestor, eager to curry favor; he was a Saint, an immortal existence.
However, meeting Gu An caused him to doubt whether he truly was immortal.
“Blessing or calamity is hard to predict, but all is within my eyes; the fact you cannot see indicates the Heavenly Dao is already surpassing you.” Gu An said casually.
These words made the Great Profound Yin Dominator freeze.
