Chapter 797: Chapter 789 Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor
If one does not become a Saint, all is illusion; beneath the Saints, all are as insects!
Saint!
Gu An heard this realm’s name again, his intuition telling him that becoming a Saint is not something achieved by simply accumulating Dao practice.
Looking far and wide within and beyond the Great Dao, not to mention Saints, even the Primordial Profound Venerable Immortal is as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, hard to encounter. As for those who surpass the Primordial Profound Venerable Immortal, Gu An could only be certain that the Celestial Emperor was one such being.
Hongya Zi was also pondering this sentence, equally curious about what it meant to be a Saint.
As a Heaven-Opening Daluo Immortal, how far was he from becoming a Saint?
The two men were each deep in thought, staring blankly at the steles scattered across the mountain before them.
The realm of Saints had greatly impacted them. Although Hongya Zi’s realm was lacking, he understood something of the Ancient Heavenly Court. Seeing the words on those steles, he vaguely sensed that the being who left that sentence had an extremely deep Dao practice and a high Immortal position.
After a long while.
Hongya Zi snapped back to reality and said, “These steles seem like the last words left by the Immortal Gods, filled with regret, despair, and anger. Who knows what they encountered?”
Gu An spoke up, “Let’s keep moving forward.”
With that, he took the lead, heading uphill towards the mountaintop, with Hongya Zi following closely behind.
The two of them passed through the steles; Hongya Zi remained vigilant, looking around cautiously, while Gu An carefully felt the steles.
These steles were not simple, containing many Dao Intents, which were very subtle and completely imperceptible to Hongya Zi.
The Dao Intents of the steles did not seem innate but rather clues left by the cultivators of the Ancient Heavenly Court.
When Gu An’s Divine Sense connected with these Dao Intents, he saw many scenes.
Immortal Gods fighting fiercely!
No demons, no monsters, no ghosts, all were Immortals exuding Celestial Dao Destiny!
These scenes were merely fragments, not continuous. Gu An patiently explored, hoping to see the figure of the Celestial Emperor.
Unfortunately, after they crossed this hillside and looked ahead, the uneven slopes in the distance still had many steles standing, but these steles were much more sparsely distributed than those behind them.
Hongya Zi quickened his pace, having seemingly discovered something, becoming more interested in these steles.
Gu An felt the same; as time went by, he still hadn’t seen any images of the Celestial Emperor, but instead became aware of a Celestial Dao Venerable.
Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor!
This Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor was the enemy of the Immortal Gods in the images, and his might was the source of many Immortal Gods’ despair.
It’s uncertain whether this Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor is still the Celestial Dao Venerable of the Heavenly Court today?
If so, doesn’t that mean the Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor lived even longer than the Celestial Emperor?
After all, according to Hongya Zi, the Ancient Heavenly Court was presided over by the previous Celestial Emperor.
Gu An held many speculations in his mind, but his steps never ceased.
…
In the darkness of the night, hundreds of cultivators gathered on the wasteland, all meditating to heal, Li Ya among them.
Li Ya was still dressed in black, a treasure sword imbued with a silvery-blue aura floating behind him. His pale complexion made it clear he suffered from severe internal injuries.
He slowly opened his eyes, gazing upwards. Amidst the night, few stars were visible, making the Celestial Vault unsettlingly oppressive.
He turned his head, his eyes betraying a look of fear.
Following his gaze, at the edge of the world loomed an enormous figure, like a giant shadow encompassing half of heaven and earth.
The place he stood was not the world but the palm of a giant hand!
The vast wasteland below was just a small part of the palm!
In the dim, oppressive void, a figure enshrouded in black mist moved slowly, its form humanoid, seemingly clad in heavy armor, adorned with menacing and sharp spikes. In its right hand, at first glance, the palm seemed empty, but in reality, Li Ya and hundreds of cultivators were within, appearing even smaller than dust.
This terrifying figure walked through the void, its steps unhurried.
Just seeing the figure caused a chill to run through Li Ya.
His gaze drifted to the distance, amid the clustered people, where a yellow-robed elder sat meditating, his complexion also grim.
Not only Li Ya, but many others were watching this yellow-robed elder.
The yellow-robed elder was the most powerful existence among these cultivators, with a cultivation level reaching the Heaven-Balancing Golden Immortal Realm!
Previously in the Profound Yuan Free Immortal Realm, Li Ya couldn’t even imagine how strong a Heaven-Balancing Golden Immortal could be. It was said to be comparable to the cultivation level of a Celestial God.
The yellow-robed elder possessed not only profound cultivation but was also the patriarch of a sect from a Great Thousand World, establishing a dojo in the Great Dao void. Li Ya originally went to hear the Dao, but during the session, he and other attendees were captured by mysterious evil demons.
While listening to the Dao, the yellow-robed elder’s Dao Intent felt unfathomably profound to him, incomparable even to Gu An’s level at the time.
When the evil demons attacked, the yellow-robed elder wielded a magical treasure, displaying great divine skills, shaking the entire universe, with myriad Dharma Aspects emerging endlessly, broadening his horizons. Yet, with a single counter, the evil demons suppressed the elder and the Dao listeners entirely.
The mighty Heaven-Balancing Golden Immortal had no power to resist.
Li Ya couldn’t fathom the extent of this evil demon’s Dao practice level.
He couldn’t help but think of what the Golden Crow Divine Sovereign once told Gu An when faced with him.
Miaozhen Daluo Immortal Realm Perfection!
This was Gu An’s realm.
Afterward, he traveled the world, never hearing the words Miaozhen Daluo Immortal anywhere, not even in Outer Heaven. Bringing up this realm’s name caused him inexplicable trepidation, so much so that he dared not inquire further.
“Junior Brother Gu, if you were here, with such a realm of Miaozhen Daluo Immortal, could you defeat this demon?”
Li Ya thought silently, even with utmost trust in Gu An, he lacked the confidence to say Gu An would surely surpass this demon.
The Yellow-robed elder’s divine skills were vast, seemingly mobilizing the Power of the Three Thousand Great Dao; recalling that scene still left him incredulous.
Yet the evil demon’s one move ended everything.
The evil demon seemed to respond as casually as Gu An did when dealing with the Dark God.
Li Ya longed for Gu An to appear yet feared that his arrival might only ensnare him in trouble.
“Li Ya, oh Li Ya, when will you truly stand on your own? How long will you rely on Junior Brother Gu? Why haven’t you considered how Junior Brother Gu reached this point?”
Li Ya gritted his teeth, internally resenting his weakness; at this critical moment, he still longed for Gu An’s intervention.
At that moment, in the darkness ahead, a beam of light like sunshine burst forth, dispelling the darkness, illuminating Li Ya and the hundreds of cultivators.
Everyone looked up, their faces lit up, quickly some became excited.
Within the strong light, a figure approached them, appearing like an Immortal God, exuding an aura of invincibility from its mere stance.
“Immortal Monarch Xuanmiao of the Celestial Court is here, demon, submit now without resistance!”
A powerful and domineering voice resounded through the void, stirring the emotions of the hundreds of cultivators.
Li Ya, however, felt a sense of confusion.
This voice sounded somewhat familiar…
Profound Mystery?
