Chapter 1071: Chapter 1062: Legend of Ji

Have I already been surpassed by the Heavenly Dao?

Ever since Gu An spoke those words, the Great Profound Yin Dominator has been pondering this question.

He knew that the Celestial Emperor represents the Heavenly Dao, and the stronger the Heavenly Dao, the stronger the Celestial Emperor. Could it be that this new Celestial Emperor has already become a Saint?

He couldn’t accept this point, so he could only think that perhaps the Heavenly Dao’s creation was inherently superior to him; otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to the Heavenly Dao seeking Reincarnation.

Compared to him, the Hongqian Ancestor didn’t think that much. After all, for him, becoming a Saint was out of reach, and he was more concerned about how to become a Saint.

He turned his attention to the demon boy who inherited the Great Profound Yin Dominator’s power. After leaving, the demon boy’s life remained fraught with hardships and did not undergo any significant transformation because of his words.

Even knowing his own origins, his temperament had long determined his destiny.

The real turning point occurred a century later when the demon boy was hunted down and on the brink of death; as he fell into the abyss, his consciousness met the Great Profound Yin Dominator, and through his choice, he inherited the Great Profound Yin Dominator’s power, marking a transformation in his life.

The demon boy practiced in the abyss for a hundred years, completely transforming himself, and his first action upon emerging into the world was revenge.

Yet, in the Red Dust, hatred never perishes; old grudges dissipate only to give rise to new ones, and his life would step into an even more complex situation.

Gu An and others did not leave this Great Thousand World, but decided to stay for a while longer.

A thousand years later.

Above the sea of clouds, the Celestial Palace stood majestically; this was the power center of the Taiwei Great World, the group of Celestial Palaces of the Holy Court.

In a cloud pavilion, Gu An was drinking tea, enjoying the view outside the pavilion. The Hongqian Ancestor and the Great Profound Yin Dominator stood by the pavilion, also observing the Holy Court.

Sitting opposite Gu An, Zhu Xi was very curious about these two people. Her intuition told her that their Dao Practice was unfathomable, but they seemed to be her master’s servants, which made her sigh in amazement at Wushi’s greatness.

Unaware since when, no matter where she went, she could hear Wushi’s name, as if it had become a famous Holy Land, and crucially, the Celestial Court did not suppress Wushi, leading to much speculation from various forces.

“Master, why have you come to Taiwei, is there anything I can help with?” Zhu Xi asked Gu An respectfully.

The time they spent as master and disciple wasn’t long, but in the years that followed, Zhu Xi frequently received Gu An’s assistance. Often, she didn’t even see Gu An, but could sense someone helping in secret.

Today, when Gu An suddenly visited and transmitted to her, she was bewildered and somewhat at a loss.

“Just taking a walk, happened to pass by.” Gu An said with a light smile.

Zhu Xi, however, did not dare to believe it was true, thinking that her master must have something important. Her expression changed as she asked, “Is it trouble from the Celestial Court?”

She didn’t think her master was sent by the Celestial Court but rather believed the Celestial Court wanted to trouble her, and her master came to warn her.

She had served as a Heavenly Court Immortal and still held an Immortal Position, deeply aware of the Celestial Court’s might, which she couldn’t possibly resist, nor did she expect her master to dare to oppose the Celestial Court.

“What are you thinking, I really was just passing by. I’ve been here for a thousand years, don’t believe me, ask them.” Gu An shook his head, his tone somewhat helpless.

Hongqian Ancestor nodded and said, “Indeed, we have been journeying across the heavens for twenty million years, not aiming for any particular goal.”

In the past, he couldn’t understand Gu An’s actions, but now he gradually had some insight, feeling disdain for the misunderstanding of others. If it weren’t for this woman calling Gu An her master, he couldn’t be bothered to engage.

It must be said, this Saint’s disciples and grand-disciples were indeed numerous and not gathered in one place. Wherever he went, Gu An always seemed to meet acquaintances.

Most crucially, these people didn’t even know he was a Saint.

On this point, Hongqian Ancestor was full of admiration for Gu An. Becoming a Saint was one thing, when he first entered the Xuan Qi Primordial Immortal Realm, he swept through Chaos, fearing others wouldn’t know. Now he’s low-key because he’s already enjoyed his fame.

Hearing that her master had traveled for so long, Zhu Xi couldn’t help feeling admiration. She sighed, “Master, you are a true Saint, from the time I knew you, you have not sought fame or fortune, living a simple life yet at ease.”

Simple?

Hongqian Ancestor almost spoke up.

The Great Profound Yin Dominator silently turned away.

“And you, have you encountered trouble related to the Celestial Court?” Gu An asked casually, as if chatting.

Zhu Xi was silent for a moment, then began to lament, revealing her situation.

The internal strife within the Celestial Court was growing increasingly intense. She sensed something amiss, fearing a misstep would send her falling into the abyss, so she returned to the Taiwei Great World to cultivate. Many immortals were acting like her, resulting in more and more Immortals in the Three Thousand Great Worlds.

So when Gu An came, she was startled, never expecting to be targeted so quickly.

“Master, how many years do you think this turmoil will last?” Zhu Xi asked Gu An, seriously.

Gu An lowered his eyes, looking at the teacup before him, and answered, “Another ten million years and it will end.”

Hongqian Ancestor’s expression grew solemn, startled internally.

Another ten million years, will the Celestial Emperor become a Saint?

The Celestial Emperor becoming a Saint, more than just the Heavenly Dao undergoing massive change, could potentially influence all of Chaos.

“That long?” Zhu Xi frowned.

Ten million years was a long time even for an Immortal like her.

Gu An didn’t continue the conversation, instead looking at the most magnificent Celestial Palace in the distance, which stood in front of the setting sun, symbolizing the Holy Court’s Destiny.

Zhu Xi noticed his gaze and couldn’t help asking, “What is it?”

Gu An spoke, “Isn’t the Holy Court recently circulating the ultimate legend?”

Zhu Xi raised an eyebrow, following up, “Master, do you know about the ultimate legend? There is such a thing, but I didn’t take it seriously. The legend says that acquiring ultimate power can overturn everything, reverse time and space, sounds too mysterious. Even in the Heavenly Realm, I haven’t heard of it.”

“It is indeed true, but acquiring this power is harder than becoming a Celestial Dao Venerable.” Gu An replied, the so-called ultimate legend is actually the Supreme Emperor of Ultimate Merging Dao.

This Great Realm was famous during the previous Heavenly Court catastrophe, though only the upper echelons knew, as even the Celestial Dao Venerable couldn’t reach that realm.

Now the Celestial Court still has only one Supreme Emperor of Ultimate Merging Dao.

“Really?” Zhu Xi furrowed her brows again.

Why would such a legendary power be circulated within the Holy Court?

She first suspected conspiracy!

Someone wanted to plot against her and her Holy Court.

“You’re not wrong, someone indeed wants to plot against the Holy Court, and the person just happens to possess ultimate power.” Gu An said these words while looking at Zhu Xi.

Zhu Xi’s face changed slightly as she cautiously asked, “What does the Holy Court have worth plotting against for him?”

Gu An, with a slight smile, answered, “Because your Destiny has already changed.”

These words puzzled Zhu Xi even more, yet Hongqian Ancestor became unsettled, staring at her intensely, as if they were mortal enemies.
