Chapter 747: Chapter 739: Xuanqiong Saint Mother
Shen Zhen searched everywhere but could not find the presence of any other entities. Fairy Yaoxuan frowned deeply, she hadn’t expected that more than one presence was watching her secretly.
Gu An, on the contrary, remained calm, waiting for the other party to appear.
A burst of intense light erupted from the depths of the void across from the mysterious giant eye, startling Shen Zhen to turn around and see.
Fairy Yaoxuan also stood up and turned to look.
The radiant light blossomed, illuminating half the cosmic void. Within that light, a figure slowly stepped out; from the figure’s shape, it was a woman with an elegant posture and an extraordinary aura.
She seemed like an ancient giant deity descending, towering over countless miles, larger than any mountain Shen Zhen had ever seen, making her widen her eyes involuntarily.
“I didn’t expect Fellow Daoist to see through my concealment technique.”
A cold female voice echoed, accompanied by a majestic Heavenly power.
Heavenly Court Immortals!
Gu An cast a Life Span Detection toward her.
[Xuanqiong Saint Mother (Late Stage Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal Realm): 0/0/0]
Xuanqiong Saint Mother!
Gu An noted the name, planning to inquire with Celestial Spirit God and Taiyi Immortal Monarch later.
Xuanqiong Saint Mother’s Celestial Dao Destiny was extraordinarily dense. Gu An could only perceive her cultivation level and true form; she was not a human who ascended to Immortality through cultivation, her true form was a tree.
Gu An spoke, “May I ask whom Fellow Daoist seeks?”
“This woman is not my aim. My goal is to subdue this evil entity. Could Fellow Daoist grant me some convenience?” Xuanqiong Saint Mother replied, devoid of the arrogance typical of Heavenly Court Immortals.
In truth, she was quite astounded. When Gu An had entered with Shen Zhen, she was already surprised that this person could resist the counter forces of the Path of Cause and Effect.
Now, face to face, she couldn’t discern Gu An’s depths; she couldn’t even see his features clearly.
What did it imply?
Gu An’s Dao Practice compared to hers was not lower and perhaps higher!
The most terrifying thing was that this person bore no sign of Celestial Dao Destiny, indicating he did not belong to the Heavenly Court.
To cultivate to this degree without reliance on the Heavenly Court, he was definitely not an ordinary person.
Despite the countless powerful entities within the Heavenly Court, the vast majority of Immortal Gods grew to their current status due to the Celestial Dao Destiny.
The higher the realm, the harder it is to ascend further; talent alone can’t measure it.
“If it’s solely for this evil entity, I naturally won’t interfere, so we’ll leave first.”
As Gu An spoke, he raised his hand and beckoned to Fairy Yaoxuan, signaling her to follow.
Then, he turned and left, Shen Zhen followed closely, and Fairy Yaoxuan didn’t hesitate, catching up to their pace.
“May I know Fellow Daoist’s name? I am the Supreme Immortal of the Heavenly Court, Xuanqiong Saint Mother. Since we have met, why not forge a good bond? My dojo is in the Celestial Extreme Nine Heavens, you are welcome to visit anytime.”
Xuanqiong Saint Mother’s voice echoed from behind, but it didn’t cause Gu An to stop.
“My name is Meng Lang, I wander the heavens without a fixed abode. If I pass by the Celestial Extreme Nine Heavens, I will certainly visit Fellow Daoist.”
Gu An responded casually, causing Shen Zhen’s mouth to twitch.
Xuanqiong Saint Mother said no more, watching Gu An and the two others depart.
Soon, the trio vanished into the void, while Xuanqiong Saint Mother continued toward the mysterious giant eye, the Heavenly Dao light she emitted gradually enveloping the darkness.
Elsewhere.
Gu An led the trio into the chaotic currents of the Great Dao, surrounded by dazzling lights that were mesmerizing.
“That person is truly a Heavenly Court Immortal? How come that evil entity didn’t flee? Before we left, it was still staring blankly.” Shen Zhen remarked.
Gu An stared ahead, saying, “She is indeed an Immortal God. The Heavenly Court’s Destiny can’t be faked. As for that evil entity, it wasn’t foolish, but it couldn’t escape at all. It doesn’t fear Immortal Gods as it coexists with the Path of Cause and Effect.”
“That threatening? Can the Immortal Gods completely annihilate it?” Shen Zhen pressed.
“You heard her, she wants to subdue it, which means she’s here for personal gain.”
“Subdue it? Allowing such an evil entity to grow is not right, isn’t she afraid of a catastrophe?”
Shen Zhen suddenly felt worried, thinking of how that evil entity absorbed the malicious thoughts of all beings, becoming an extremely terrifying existence that could bring catastrophe to the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
She used to love writing books and was sensitive to such plotlines.
“I wouldn’t know, Immortal Gods have their own intentions.”
Gu An replied casually, actually not caring about such an evil entity.
Not to mention Xuan Qi Primordial Immortal, even a Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal could easily subdue it. After all, the evil entity was a creation of the Path of Cause and Effect; no matter how strong, it couldn’t surpass the Path itself.
However, to beings that haven’t created their own Dao, such an evil entity is extremely terrifying, leading to a fate worse than death if encountered.
Fairy Yaoxuan followed behind silently.
Her heart was filled with curiosity; before being expelled by the Path of Cause and Effect, she hadn’t encountered many Immortal Gods, and the aura of Xuanqiong Saint Mother was stronger than any Great Power she had seen.
Who was this person?
Why did she come?
Fairy Yaoxuan faintly guessed, seeing Gu An’s back gradually overlap with another figure in her mind.
Though she had guesses, she did not question him. There must be another hidden story he wasn’t revealing.
Currently, she needed to focus more on restoring her own cultivation level.
Soon, the chaotic currents of the Great Dao disappeared, they arrived at a long river of great Dao, light rose from beneath their feet, enveloping them in brightness.
Gu An stopped, turning slightly to face Fairy Yaoxuan, saying, “This is the Path of the Great Dao, from now on, you are free.”
Fairy Yaoxuan gazed at him, even with his redefined face, she felt a sense of familiarity. She asked, “You saved me, don’t you need me to do anything for you?”
Shen Zhen watched them in silence.
“I was an old acquaintance of the Emperor of Eternal Life. He has died within the Great Cause and Effect Stele, I just fulfilled his last wish.” Gu An revealed the fate of the Emperor of Eternal Life.
Fairy Yaoxuan’s eyes changed upon hearing this.
Shen Zhen let out a deep breath; it seemed Gu An and Fairy Yaoxuan indeed had no direct connection.
At this moment, Fairy Yaoxuan looked at Shen Zhen, saying, “She carries the cause and effect of my child. So, my child has also been saved by you. Where is he?”
“He is at my dojo, taken in as my disciple. If you wish to see him, I will let him meet you when he becomes stronger.” Gu An said truthfully.
Fairy Yaoxuan turned her gaze back to him, asking, “May I go to your dojo?”
She paused and continued, “I don’t know how many years I’ve been sealed, but now I feel that apart from my child, I have no more support or place to go. Joining your dojo, I will serve you in the future.”
Gu An sighed inwardly, he could hear Fairy Yaoxuan’s hidden guesses.
She determined he was the Emperor of Eternal Life.
Fine.
Just right to let her child see his mother.
In the future, leading Fairy Yaoxuan to attain the Primordial Dao Emperor, perhaps she would understand the relationship between the Emperor of Eternal Life and him.
