Chapter 1126: Chapter 1117: Saving Creation

The golden sunlight poured down, and the Ghost Mother of Ephemera, clad in black, emerged from the clouds and mist. She approached the edge of a cliff, below which lay a deep abyss stretching thousands of feet. The sea of clouds surged, with only the tips of mountains revealing themselves, their true forms elusive.

The Ghost Mother of Ephemera gazed downward and slowly exhaled. She spread her arms and murmured to herself, “So, this is the Xuan Qi Primordial Immortal?”

She had just broken through to the Xuan Qi Primordial Immortal Realm and was in a state of curiosity about everything.

Now, with her renewed gaze upon heaven and earth, she could see a completely different scene. The Dao was no longer a formless thing; even sentient beings were composed of it. She could discern the essence of everything, including the cause and effect of fate.

The creations of the Xuan Qi Primordial Immortal were truly wondrous, filling her with a yearning for even higher realms.

She finally understood why there were so many ascetic cultivators; it turned out that continually breaking through realms was the most marvelous experience in the world.

At that moment, she suddenly recalled a young boy she encountered millions of years ago, a boy with the Primordial Appearance.

She was able to reach her current state thanks to the assistance of her master, yet that boy was destined to become a Xuan Qi Primordial Immortal from birth. The gap between them was truly unimaginable.

The Ghost Mother of Ephemera withdrew her thoughts, ceasing to envy that boy from years past. She was ready to embrace a brand-new life.

She leaped gracefully upward, like an arrow piercing through the skies, swooping between mountains in flight like a startled swan. Along the way, she even brushed the head of a white crane, traversing thousands of miles in an instant.

She landed beside a vast lake, only to find Gu An fishing there. The Hongqian Ancestor stood nearby, speaking to him, while the Great Profound Yin Dominator sat meditating in the distance, seemingly cultivating.

Gu An glanced at the Ghost Mother of Ephemera, and the Hongqian Ancestor paused, no longer discussing Qing Feng or Ming Yue. He turned his gaze to the Ghost Mother of Ephemera, marveling at how fortunate she was.

To elevate such average aptitude to the level of a Xuan Qi Primordial Immortal!

Though he didn’t regard the Xuan Qi Primordial Immortal highly, even he couldn’t cultivate a Mortal Spirit to such a level.

Of course, he was speaking of himself before becoming a Saint because he believed his sanctification was a serendipity gifted by Gu An, not entirely his own.

“How does it feel?” Gu An asked with a smile, without releasing the fishing rod from his hand.

The Ghost Mother of Ephemera replied with a smile, “Wonderful, far exceeding my expectations. I’ve started to find the true mindset of a strong one. I will continue to work hard on my cultivation.”

The Hongqian Ancestor stroked his beard and laughed, “After cultivating for millions of years, you can reach the Mixed Element Profound Venerable Immortal, a realm many Celestial Dao Venerables have not attained. Beyond that, you can strive for the Ultimate Merging Dao Venerable Emperor Realm. Only by reaching the pinnacle of the Ultimate Merging Dao Venerable Emperor can you aspire to the Saint Realm. Let me tell you in advance, though it seems just a step away from the Ultimate Merging Dao Venerable Emperor Realm Perfection to the Saint Realm, the time required exceeds all your previous cultivation combined.”

Admiring his godly demeanor, the Ghost Mother of Ephemera didn’t refute, for Gu An had already explained these matters to her.

Nonetheless, the Hongqian Ancestor was, after all, a Saint and the second Celestial Emperor; it was fitting for him to act grandly. It was what he deserved.

The three of them casually discussed the Xuan Qi Primordial Immortal, mostly with the Ghost Mother of Ephemera sharing her feelings.

After a long time.

The Ghost Mother of Ephemera looked at Gu An and curiously asked, “Master, there’s no fish in this lake. What exactly are you fishing for?”

A lake devoid of fish, could it be hiding a mysterious secret she couldn’t fathom?

After thinking it over, she felt too dismissive of herself.

She was a Xuan Qi Primordial Immortal, how could she doubt her judgment?

The master might simply be bored, using fishing as a meditation.

Gu An looked at the lake surface and said, “If I’m not fishing, does it matter if there are fish or not?”

The Ghost Mother of Ephemera grew even more curious and pressed, “Then, what are you fishing for?”

Gu An didn’t answer, merely gazing quietly at the lake surface. Seeing that he was no longer smiling, the Ghost Mother of Ephemera also solemnly watched the water, waiting for any ensuing change.

The Hongqian Ancestor grew curious as well, having initially thought Gu An was just acting casually. Now it seemed Gu An was serious about his fishing.

After a while.

Gu An’s fishing rod began to shudder, even drawing the attention of the distant Great Profound Yin Dominator, whose shoulder noticeably tilted.

The expressions of the Hongqian Ancestor and the Ghost Mother of Ephemera grew more peculiar, for they could see that the hook in the lake had caught nothing.

Oddly enough, it felt like the hook was being tugged by some invisible force, straightening the fishing line in the water.

Gu An stood up and began reeling in, which only increased the curiosity of the Hongqian Ancestor and the others.

Could there truly be something there?

Gu An suddenly released his strength, and with a boom, the lake surface exploded. The hook flew into the air, tearing through space. Above the surface of the lake, as if struck by a heavy hammer, a distorted purple region appeared, and a figure emerged from it. It was a man, his right hand gripping Gu An’s fishhook. Even though his palm was pierced, he held firm.

Someone was indeed there?

The Ghost Mother of Ephemera was greatly astonished; it all happened too quickly. Before this, she hadn’t sensed any spatial fluctuation or this person’s presence.

Thud!

Dragged by the fishhook, the man fell onto the grass, soaked and disheveled, clad in a black robe over white garments. Despite his current bedraggled state, the Ghost Mother of Ephemera felt at first glance that he was extraordinary.

She couldn’t see through his cultivation level!

Having newly achieved Xuan Qi Primordial Immortal status, the Ghost Mother of Ephemera’s joy was overshadowed, realizing that her rank might not be as impressive as she thought.

After landing, the man gasped deeply as if he had narrowly escaped drowning.

After a dozen or so intervals, he finally composed himself, lifting his head to look around, his gaze quickly falling on Gu An and the others.

Scanning the area, he ultimately fixed his eyes on Gu An, asking through gritted teeth, “Who are you, and where is this place?”

Attempting to stand, he found it utterly impossible, appearing incredibly frail.

Gu An looked at him, then retorted, “Shouldn’t I be the one asking you? It was you beseeching my help.”

Upon hearing this, the man’s pupils dilated, and he asked in a trembling voice, “Are you Wushi?”

Mentioning Wushi left the Ghost Mother of Ephemera even more puzzled. Could this man be some Great Power of the Heavenly Dao?

She glanced at the Hongqian Ancestor, preparing to communicate telepathically, only to see him staring coldly at the black-robed man, as if facing a formidable enemy.

It was her first time seeing the Hongqian Ancestor so tense.

What was the reason?

As a Saint, did the Hongqian Ancestor have mortal foes within the Heavenly Dao too?

Gu An said, “You can call me that.”

The black-robed man grew more agitated, promptly saying, “Thank you, senior, for saving me. The fact that you rescued me from there means your Dao practice is beyond my comprehension. Please, senior, take action to save the Endless Dao and the creation!”

The Endless Dao?

Creation?

The Ghost Mother of Ephemera felt like she was lost in the clouds; the man’s words were grandiose.

“You come from beyond the Chaos. What makes you think my master should help you?”

The Hongqian Ancestor suddenly spoke, causing the Ghost Mother of Ephemera to turn pale with astonishment.
