Chapter 871: Chapter 863 The Most Feared Person

It was noon, and the sun was shining brightly.

Beside the fields, a group of village children gathered to listen to Gu An’s storytelling.

After Gu An finished speaking, a young boy impatiently asked, “Hou Yi shot the suns, but where did those suns come from? The story didn’t make it clear!”

The others also looked at Gu An, who smiled and said, “It is said they were born of the Celestial Emperor Di Jun and Xi He. They are responsible for bringing daylight to the Human World in turns, but occasionally they all appear together, causing calamities to the Human World.”

Another girl asked, “After Hou Yi shot the Golden Crows, would the Celestial Emperor seek revenge on him?”

The other village children started speaking all at once, noisy and bustling.

Gu An was not annoyed, only amused. He had told such mythological tales elsewhere, but it was the first time village children asked such questions. Elsewhere, children would only marvel and revere Hou Yi’s strength.

This village was truly a fortuitous place.

While An Xin was still battling foes on the other side of the world, Gu An patiently answered the children’s questions, guiding them to think rather than giving absolute answers.

Millions of years later, these children would become the dominant power holders of this Great Thousand World. They transformed the heavens and earth and mastered destiny, at least within this Great Thousand World.

Even if Gu An and An Xin had not come, they could still break through the darkness and chaos to bring light to the Human World.

Gu An did not intend to form any ties with them; he was just somewhat bored and came to pass the time.

If the two of them had not come to this realm, these village children would have lost their homes and loved ones, living forever in the shadow of hatred.

The story of Hou Yi shooting the suns was told because Li Ya was challenging three Golden Crows from the Dark Heavenly Court. Searᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It was a struggle, but under the gaze of many disciples, he could only grit his teeth and persevere.

Gu An had no intention of intervening. Although the battle would be brutal, Li Ya would win and even make a breakthrough in Sword Dao.

Li Ya truly lived a brilliant life, making Gu An both empathetic and impressed.

An hour later, Gu An stood up and left under the reluctant gazes of the village children. Before leaving, he left behind a Basic Technique to help them embark on the Cultivation Path sooner.

Even though it was just a Basic Technique, it made their future brighter and more accomplished.

When they stood atop this Great Thousand World, they would seek Gu An, but unfortunately, childhood memories were too vague, even if they used Cause and Effect deduction to no avail.

After a while, Gu An took An Xin back to the Daoist Field of the Beginningless.

As the master and disciple walked along the mountain path, An Xin began describing her feelings about today’s battle. She was in good spirits, able to sense her own progress.

They walked slowly, and the Daoist Field of the Beginningless was vast.

By the time dusk had fallen, they still had not returned to the Main Peak.

At this moment, they encountered two disciples approaching from the woods ahead.

It was Sin and Su Han.

Sin had been roaming for tens of millions of years and recently returned. Su Han had long heard of his tales and visited him as soon as he returned; they hit it off quickly.

Today, Sin challenged the Blood Prison Great Saint, ending in a draw; he felt dissatisfied, while Su Han comforted him.

Seeing Gu An and An Xin, they hurriedly bowed in greeting.

Having been with Gu An for a long time, An Xin also liked to hide her aura, so even when Sin and Su Han entered the woods, they did not perceive their presence.

Gu An passed by them without speaking, and An Xin did the same.

Sin tilted his head and watched An Xin’s retreating figure, his eyes filled with confusion.

Why does it feel like the Senior Sister has grown even stronger?

He had roamed many Great Worlds with numerous opportunities, yet upon returning to the Beginningless, he felt his status had not changed at all.

People he couldn’t defeat in the past, he still couldn’t defeat now. He even doubted whether he should have left in the first place.

Seeing An Xin again, Sin discovered an eerie pressure emanating from her, inexplicably frightening him, but he couldn’t figure out why.

Gu An, with his back to Sin, was satisfied with Sin’s perception.

Sin’s father was the Emperor of Eternal Life, who possessed the Immortal Emperor’s Eye. Although Sin hadn’t inherited this, he had an unusually high Perception Power towards it.

Gu An planned to teach Sin how to cultivate the Immortal Emperor’s Eye.

However, he still needed to consider how to guide the Blood Prison Great Saint. He couldn’t allow his steed to lose to his young disciple.

After Gu An and An Xin walked away, Su Han couldn’t help but ask, “Uncle Master, you and Master Senior are of the same generation. Are you really afraid of her?”

Sin, still maintaining a youthful appearance, cleared his throat and said, “I respect her, but to be honest, I am indeed very afraid of her. In fact, I would say she is the one I fear the most in the dojo.”

Su Han discovered that many highly esteemed disciples feared An Xin, a question he had always wanted to ask about.

“Why? Is she fierce?”

“She isn’t fierce, but she is Master’s most cherished disciple, like a daughter. She once held the highest authority in the Beginningless, and years ago, the Second Generation Disciples frequently sparred, and she was the strongest, unshakable.”

Sin’s answer filled Su Han with reverence for An Xin.

He knew An Xin was strong, but he hadn’t realized none among the Second Generation Disciples could rival her.

Recalling the Blood Prison Great Saint’s performance within the Barrier today, he shivered; such a terrifying existence was no match for Master Senior?

How terrifying must her talent be?

On the other side.

An Xin overheard their conversation, a smile tugging at her lips. She looked at Gu An and asked, “Master, could this Su Han really be Senior Brother Su?”

She remembered Gu An once had a disciple named Su Han, the only one to die an untimely death, and Zhen Qin’s lifelong obsession.

What a coincidence it would be if this Su Han happened to join under Zhen Qin’s wing and even gained paternal favor.

Facing An Xin, Gu An did not hide the truth, saying, “It is indeed him, but I don’t plan to let him and Qin’er know the truth just yet. When they achieve enlightenment, all confusion will naturally unravel, and by then, they will be at peace.”

An Xin nodded and remarked, “Master, though you say you don’t care about this or that, I think there isn’t anyone softer-hearted than you.”

Gu An often instructed his disciples that protecting the Celestial Spirit Great World was enough, yet whenever the Three Thousand Great Worlds faced calamities, he would always intervene, albeit discreetly.

She understood her Master’s approach; being too conspicuous risked offending the Celestial Court, inviting greater disasters, which only deepened her admiration for him.

Knowing something impossible and still doing it.

Gu An did not respond to An Xin but changed the subject, saying, “Tomorrow, I’ll take you to experience a real battle. You might lose, so prepare yourself mentally.”

Upon hearing this, An Xin’s smile faded, her eyes filled with battle intent. She indeed needed more powerful opponents.
