Chapter 1135: Chapter 1126: Wushi’s Calamity

What should be done?

An Xin was stumped by her master’s question. She knew her master was testing her, but why at such a critical moment?

Although she had grown stronger, she still couldn’t handle the tremendous cause and effect at the Great Dao level.

Unable to help herself, she lamented, “Master, at this point, you still ask me? Whatever you wish to do, whatever you need from me, just tell me.”

Gu An smiled, but his smile appeared quite sinister under the enhancement of the Reversing Void Eye.

“What if I refuse to yield an inch?” Gu An asked.

Not yielding an inch?

An Xin’s expression changed slightly, and she cautiously asked, “Do you mean to rebel against the Great Dao, and show no mercy to all living beings of the Great Dao?”

“The Great Dao views me as an enemy, all living beings are readying themselves, and the future of Wushi will be challenging. We either flee and establish our own order in the void or stay in the Heavenly Dao and fight off invaders from all the Dao Universes, forcing the Great Dao to compromise.”

When Gu An spoke these words, his tone was exceptionally cold.

An Xin felt a heavy heart. She couldn’t refute him, yet the thought of the situation made her troubled.

How did things develop to this point?

Wushi had always been the righteous savior; how had it become an enemy of the Great Dao, a calamity?

She wished deeply that someone was scheming against Wushi, yet, her master admitted to it.

Her Absolute Void Eye could clearly discern that the person before her was indeed her master, not an imposter.

Gu An didn’t comfort An Xin because this was indeed the reality, and he was quite dissatisfied with the Great Dao as well.

He had stifled his desires, yet the Great Dao still shone upon all living beings, trying to eradicate him, even if he retreated, there was no other way.

The Great Dao lacks the consciousness of a living being, but it has a survival instinct that now threatens Gu An.

This is a matter of stances, Gu An and all living beings are on opposing sides, irreconcilable.

Gu An gave An Xin a deep look then vanished into thin air, leaving behind these words:

“The struggle between the Great Dao and Wushi will be the Great Dao’s hardest tribulation, and Wushi’s true first tribulation, with a beginning and an end.”

Upon hearing this, An Xin was in a daze, mumbling to herself, “With a beginning and an end…”

She heard the implication of replacement.

…

The Wushi calamity!

All heavens and myriad realms were stirred by this calamity, with all realms investigating and hunting down all people and things related to Wushi.

Even Wushi disciples who had graduated were tragically targeted, with some ambitious individuals maligning their enemies as Wushi heretics.

More and more Wushi disciples fled back to the Wushi Realm, while many met tragic fates in otherworlds. Within the Wushi Realm, the atmosphere was equally oppressive as everything, to their understanding, was constructed by the Great Dao, and defending it was justice.

How could they not be seen as evil now that they were moving against the Great Dao?

Some disciples began protesting, hoping the Ancestor would step forward to explain or possibly turn back from this path.

At the base of the mountain where Gu An resided, millions of beings gathered, including Wushi disciples and cultivators reincarnated in the Wushi Realm, with the entire mountainside filled with throngs of people.

Wu Xie floated in the air, using his presence to intimidate a million disciples, preventing the hot-blooded ones from ascending the mountain, thereby becoming the public enemy below.

“Ancestor Wu Xie, you mustn’t assist the Ancestor on this wayward path!”

“Are we truly to destroy the Great Dao and slaughter all living beings?”

“Since ancient times, hasn’t Wushi been the most righteous Daoist lineage? Why have we come to this?”

“Ancestor Wu Xie, don’t force us to act against you!”

Upon hearing the angry words of the disciples below, the expressionless Wu Xie finally showed a change; he laughed scornfully and coldly.

Wu Xie raised his right hand, a long spear formed in his grasp, and he pointed it downward, exuding a powerful aura that belonged to the Xuan Qi Primordial Immortal, shaking the earth.

“Do you fools not understand your own stance? A bunch of ungrateful bastards—whoever dares act, shall die; whoever dares step onto the mountain, shall die!”

Wu Xie’s murderous aura enveloped the entire world, and the origin power of the Daoist Emperor could no longer be contained.

With these words, all beings below were intimidated and dared not speak again.

On the mountaintop.

Gu An stood at the edge of the cliff, hands behind his back, gazing down with a heart full of emotions.

Truly, the human heart is unpredictable.

Wu Xie, originating from the reincarnation of the Daoist Emperor’s will, surprisingly became his most loyal disciple, while those beloved disciples and grand-disciples all wavered, at best maintaining silence and silently followed his will.

Amidst silence, Wu Xie’s shout was so powerful.

One must know that he, possessing the origin power of the Daoist Emperor, was most influenced by the Dao, yet he managed to restrain himself.

Gu An realized that everything needed a conclusion.

He stepped forward, rising into the air, traversing through time and space, arriving in a realm of darkness, raising his left hand where the Wushi Realm appeared in his palm, surrounded by a mysterious gray mist.

Beneath him appeared a long staircase extending into the depths of darkness.

He displayed his aura, informing all cultivators of the Dao Universes that he stood here waiting for their arrival.

Moreover, he broke the limitations between Dao Universes, allowing anyone who wished to face him to come forth.

From here, overlooking the myriad realms and Dao Universes, a sense of loneliness arose in Gu An’s heart for the first time.

Alone, he came to the Great Dao, to Chaos, was born in the Heavenly Dao, and now alone he would face everything.

He understood the irresistible nature of the Dao Will for the Great Dao’s living beings, yet he had to admit that he now existed on a different level than any other being, no matter how he tried humbling himself to maintain the status quo.

While Gu An pondered, the stairs below began showing figures distributed across different steps, with those of higher cultivation levels being closer.

A formidable figure, not weaker than a Taoist Master, landed below and looked up at him. This figure was clad in black armor, with a blood-red cloak billowing around him, his eyes icy, and dragon horns emerging from his black hair like a demon from the abyss.

Gu An saw through his background at a glance.

The arch-nemesis of the Wanyuan Dao Ancestor, the Wanyin Demon Venerable.

The Wanyin Demon Venerable and the Wanyuan Dao Ancestor were born simultaneously, possessing the same talent, yet unaware of each other, created by the Great Dao to restrain one another. Without Gu An, they would have stirred chaos in the Great Dao, establishing order for the Endless Dao.

Even the Dao Master who created Chaos would be inferior to them.

Due to a variable, the Dao Master found an opportunity to transcend the Saint, which defied the Dao Will. The Great Dao created everything, but would not allow creation to threaten itself.

Would not the Dao Master’s fate have been Gu An’s doing? Without Gu An, he would have met an even worse end.

The higher the Dao Practice, the closer one is to confronting the Great Dao.

The terror of the Great Dao is unimaginable to the cultivators, turning everything a cultivator possesses into weapons that could harm them.
