Chapter 746: Chapter 738: Exile Realm
Upon hearing that Gu An was not the reincarnation of the Emperor of Eternal Life, Shen Zhen couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although Gu An already had several women, the thought of Gu An having had a memorable and reincarnated romance with a certain woman still made her a little uneasy.
Gu An could hear her thoughts and found it amusing.
He had no intention of rekindling his past with Fairy Yaoxuan; he too felt uneasy about it. He just needed to save Fairy Yaoxuan and fulfill the Emperor of Eternal Life’s obsession. As for what happens to Fairy Yaoxuan afterward, that would be up to her.
Shen Zhen asked a few more questions. She was full of curiosity about the Emperor of Eternal Life. His experiences sounded even more legendary than An Hao’s, and she had also heard many names of cosmic planes and great beings in the stories, giving her a sense of touching the pinnacle of the Great Dao.
Gu An, satisfying her curiosity, did not slow his pace. Though he seemed to be walking leisurely, each step took him a significant distance. However, this universe was too vast, far beyond comparison to the Celestial Spirit Great World.
After Gu An dealt with all of Shen Zhen’s questions and saw her fall silent, he quickened his pace.
Shen Zhen looked up and saw a purple lotus blooming in the darkness ahead, emitting circles of purple light, beautiful and yet exuding a dangerous aura.
When she saw the purple lotus, she barely had time to think before it suddenly appeared in front of her.
Before she could react, Gu An waved his sleeve, and a fierce wind arose at his feet, dispersing the purple lotus at once, revealing a figure.
It was a woman in a white dress, sitting cross-legged with an upright, sacred posture, resembling an ancient female immortal, exuding an aura of desolation. Her delicate face, skin like white jade, and slightly furrowed brows stood out.
What an extraordinary female immortal!
No matter how many reincarnations Shen Zhen had projected into, seeing countless Daughters of Heaven, she was still astounded by Fairy Yaoxuan’s appearance and demeanor.
“What’s wrong with her? Is she still alive?” Shen Zhen asked cautiously, standing beside Gu An, not daring to act rashly, afraid to disturb Fairy Yaoxuan.
Gu An replied, “She’s alright now, but her consciousness needs time to recover.”
“I see…”
Shen Zhen responded, yet she didn’t understand what Gu An had done.
Did he save Fairy Yaoxuan with just a wave of his hand?
She watched Fairy Yaoxuan silently, feeling her profound aura, her cultivation level unfathomable.
So strong!
Stronger than anyone she had ever seen, of course, except for Gu An. Gu An never revealed his aura; at first glance, he seemed like an ordinary person, but anyone who dared to challenge him would face his unrivaled power.
The two fell silent, letting the void fall into complete stillness.
After a long while.
Shen Zhen saw Fairy Yaoxuan’s eyelids tremble slightly, making her nervous.
The main character of Gu An’s story was the Emperor of Eternal Life. She knew little about Fairy Yaoxuan’s personality, but from the story, this Fairy Yaoxuan seemed extraordinary, a formidable presence on the Path of the Great Dao.
Of course, what she feared more was knowing the relationship between Fairy Yaoxuan and Gu An.
Did they come to rescue Fairy Yaoxuan just because of their acquaintance with the Emperor of Eternal Life?
That sounded too far-fetched!
This was not the right place, and how terrifying was the Path of Cause and Effect?
Fairy Yaoxuan slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Gu An and Shen Zhen. She could see Shen Zhen’s face clearly, but Gu An’s face appeared blurry to her, only his outfit was distinct.
Her eyes were empty, devoid of emotion, like a deep well, making Shen Zhen’s heart quiver.
She did not speak, just quietly watched Gu An and Shen Zhen.
Gu An remained silent, knowing that Fairy Yaoxuan was regaining her consciousness. Her cultivation had fallen to the Daoist Collection Freedom Immortal Realm, but the Daoist Emperor’s destiny still lingered. With time, she could recover all her memories.
Thus, silence enveloped both sides once again.
After the time of a stick of incense passed, just as Shen Zhen was about to lose her patience, Fairy Yaoxuan spoke, “Who are you? Are you the ones who expelled the cause and effect from me?”
Her voice was hoarse, her words hesitant.
Gu An answered, “You should be able to feel the cause and effect of the Emperor of Eternal Life on her. It was his obsession that brought us here to rescue you. From now on, you can return to the Dao Universe and regain your freedom.”
“The Emperor of Eternal Life…”
Fairy Yaoxuan murmured, clearly reminiscing about the name.
She did not fall silent again but asked, “Can you take me away from here?”
Gu An smiled, “We managed to come here, so naturally we can leave. But before we go, we can help you resolve some potential troubles.”
He turned around, looking into the depths of the universe, and said, “Show yourself, product of the evil intent of the Path of Cause and Effect.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhen quickly turned around to look, but no matter where she looked, she could not see any sign of life.
Fairy Yaoxuan also looked up, her gaze directed towards one spot, her eyes growing colder.
“Who are you to come to the Exile Realm?”
A cold voice echoed, and with it, a pair of enormous eyes opened in the darkness, overlooking Gu An and the others.
Shen Zhen, feeling those eyes on her, felt extremely uncomfortable, as if she was experiencing the utmost malice.
“Product of evil intent? Not a living being?” Shen Zhen asked in a low voice.
“Yes, the Path of Cause and Effect is the result of all beings defying the Dao Rules. These actions carry various evil intents, and when the Path of Cause and Effect gathers these evil intents together, it gives birth to it. It is part of the Path of Cause and Effect. The more evil intent it encounters, the stronger it becomes. It wants to reach the Dao Universe to absorb the evil intents of all beings. But it is bound by the Path of Cause and Effect and cannot find the Dao Universe. It can only sense that far away there is the evil intent it desires, so Fairy Yaoxuan became its hope.”
“If we leave directly, it will attach itself to Fairy Yaoxuan.”
Gu An introduced the origin of the mysterious giant eyes, his explanation making those eyes narrow in malice.
Shen Zhen shuddered at the thought. If such an existence were brought to the Three Thousand Great Worlds, wouldn’t it cause a disaster?
She asked no more questions, warily watching the mysterious giant eyes ahead.
“You can see through my origins. Since that’s the case, what do you plan to do with me?”
The cold voice sounded again, filled with apprehension and unwillingness. It did not want to give up on Fairy Yaoxuan as its hope.
Fairy Yaoxuan was trapped here, and so was it. Staying here, it could not find the meaning of its existence, and the images brought by those evil intents made it yearn for the Human World.
“Fellow Daoist, if you continue to watch the show, I may have to ruin your plans.”
Gu An’s words shocked both the mysterious giant eyes and Shen Zhen.
There were other people?
The mysterious giant eyes shifted rapidly, seemingly trying to locate the person’s position.
