Chapter 748: Chapter 740 Immortal Gods’ Evil Thoughts
Fairy Yaoxuan’s arrival did not cause much of a stir at the Daoist Field of the Beginningless. With the increasing number of fourth-generation disciples, some disciples were still strangers to each other.
Fairy Yaoxuan was quite intrigued by the Daoist Field of the Beginningless. The Spiritual Energy and Dao Intent here were the best she had ever encountered, making it truly a Holy Land for cultivation.
Gu An asked Shen Zhen to take Fairy Yaoxuan to find Zui, while he returned to his room to observe the Xuanqiong Saint Mother’s methods against the evil creature.
Sure enough, the Xuanqiong Saint Mother subdued the evil creature and named it Xuan E.
It is worth mentioning that the Xuanqiong Saint Mother did not introduce the Celestial Dao Destiny into Xuan E’s body, which made Gu An speculate that she did not want this matter to be known by the Celestial Court.
After subduing Xuan E, the Xuanqiong Saint Mother flew towards the Celestial Extreme Nine Heavens without encountering other Immortal Gods.
Gu An withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes, and began to ponder the Path of Cause and Effect of the Exile Realm.
How was such a place formed, and why did it give birth to an existence like Xuan E?
If the Path of Cause and Effect can form Dao Rules, so can other paths. Does that mean there are other existences similar to Xuan E in other Exile Realms of different Dao?
Given that the Celestial Dao Destiny is not omnipresent, the Three Thousand Great Worlds are the central places for Celestial Dao Destiny. Beyond them, there are other realms for Celestial Dao Destiny, such as the Primordial Emperor Domain, Misty Immortal Court, and Ling Mountain.
However, there are many places outside the Celestial Dao as well. Places like the Hongmeng Great World, Abyss Dao Sea, and Supreme Origin Forest that Gu An had visited.
At present, the cosmic planes outside the Celestial Dao far surpass those within it.
This means that the Celestial Dao is far from encompassing the Great Dao.
Standing at the pinnacle of the Celestial Dao, what do the Celestial Emperor and the Celestial Dao Venerables face, and do they have worries?
While Gu An was thinking divergently, Zui reunited with Fairy Yaoxuan. Before Shen Zhen could introduce Fairy Yaoxuan, Zui rushed to her.
A mother-child reunion is always a heartwarming scene. Zui hugged his mother, wanting to share countless words, while Fairy Yaoxuan, seeing that he was doing well, had a face full of smiles.
In the days that followed, the relationship between Zui and Fairy Yaoxuan became known. Zui was Gu An’s youngest disciple, and all disciples of the Daoist Field of the Beginningless knew that Gu An doted on him. No one expected Gu An to go as far as to bring his mother back as well.
Many disciples had their suspicions but did not dare to voice them.
Gu An possessed great divine skills, so even if they spoke in the softest of whispers, he would likely hear them.
Gu An did not care much about the disciples’ thoughts; time would dilute all doubts.
Although Fairy Yaoxuan’s realm had fallen to that of a Daoist Zang Zizai Immortal, she was still an Emperor of the Great Dao. After arriving, her cultivation level grew rapidly.
It is worth mentioning that Fairy Yaoxuan saw through An Xin’s cultivation of the Immortal Emperor’s Eye and proactively proposed a spar. Although neither emerged victorious, it put pressure on An Xin.
An Xin would spar with Fairy Yaoxuan every thousand years.
Until Fairy Yaoxuan reached the Profound Yuan Free Immortal Realm, An Xin was no longer her match.
For An Xin to achieve the Profound Yuan Free Immortal Realm, it required years of accumulated Great Dao insights, while Fairy Yaoxuan was merely regaining her former cultivation level.
Fairy Yaoxuan and An Xin developed a close relationship, which Gu An considered a good thing. Following the Emperor of Eternal Life in battle for so many years, her understanding of the Immortal Emperor’s Eye would greatly benefit An Xin.
Time flew by quickly.
A million years had passed since Fairy Yaoxuan joined the Daoist Field of the Beginningless.
In the morning, Gu An stood by the lake, practicing Tai Chi. His movements were slow but had the graceful beauty of floating clouds and flowing water.
While practicing, he brought up his Attribute Panel.
[Name: Gu An]
[Life Span: 6,250,704/450,337,945,422,651]
[Physique: Primordial Infinite Creation Dao Body]
[Cultivation Level: Perfection of Xuan Qi Primordial Immortal Realm]
…
Four and a half trillion years of life span!
He was halfway to the trillion-year mark, but Gu An felt that the next breakthrough would require more than just a trillion years of life span.
Fortunately, he had no strong enemies currently. With the Eternal Life Venerable, Yang Jian, Li Xuanmiao and other Immortal Gods around, he had a buffer with the Celestial Court, preventing enmity.
Fighting and killing did not suit him; he preferred this leisurely and peaceful life, doing whatever he wanted while continuously growing stronger.
For him, life span was like an experience bar in a game. Watching it grow assured him that he was on the right path to becoming stronger.
Practicing Tai Chi was something he took interest in during his leisure time, using some fist techniques from his past life.
After several rounds, this set of Tai Chi had evolved into a secret skill of the Immortal Dao in his hands. Every move and stance could shake the world.
A figure emerged from the woods behind him; it was Fairy Yaoxuan, dressed in a white gown, exuding grace and an enigmatic demeanor despite her cold expression.
Only Gu An knew that Fairy Yaoxuan had yet to reveal her true character. In the Emperor of Eternal Life’s memories, she was immensely combative and quite arrogant. Throughout their adventures, it was often the Emperor of Eternal Life who acted as the voice of reason.
Perhaps her memories had not fully returned, or perhaps it was the sediment of years, but since arriving at the Daoist Field of the Beginningless, Fairy Yaoxuan had behaved with great composure and the stature of a grand master. In a million years, she had established a high level of prestige; except for Gu An, no one knew her true nature.
She stood quietly behind Gu An, watching him.
“Does the fairy have something to discuss?” Gu An asked, without pausing his movements.
Fairy Yaoxuan spoke, “Between the Daoist Emperor and the Primordial Dao Emperor, who do you think is stronger?”
She was certain Gu An was the Emperor of Eternal Life, as he had once been a Daoist Emperor and now practiced as a Primordial Dao Emperor, which intrigued her.
The Daoist Field of the Beginningless already had more than ten Primordial Dao Emperors. Through them, Fairy Yaoxuan learned the wonders of the Primordial Dao Emperor, which fascinated her.
But she was already a Daoist Emperor and was unsure if she could directly cultivate the Primordial Dao Emperor or if she would need to abandon her Daoist Emperor destiny first.
“Stronger or weaker depends on the individual cultivator,” Gu An replied. That was truly what he thought.
Although the Primordial Dao Emperor seemed poised to surpass the Daoist Emperor, it was because its cultivation method was easier, at least without the need for constant combat, and failure didn’t mean death.
Even great powers would dislike constant battles within their own realm or higher.
Fairy Yaoxuan nodded slightly and continued, “During my years in exile, I witnessed countless scenes and captured many malicious thoughts involving the Great Cause and Effect. Are you interested in hearing them?”
“If you want to say it, then say it,” Gu An replied casually. As the Daoist Field of the Beginningless could isolate any cause and effect, discussions were not restricted here.
Fairy Yaoxuan fell silent for a moment, then said, “I saw the malicious thoughts of the Heavenly Court Immortals. Some Immortal Gods wanted to perform a blood sacrifice of all living beings, some wanted to seize the Celestial Emperor’s throne, and…”
“And what?”
“And the malicious thoughts of the Celestial Emperor.”
Gu An paused his movements, stood straight, and turned to face her.
