Chapter 879 - 871 Awakening
Chapter 879: Chapter 871 Awakening
Gu An pretended not to notice the glances from Shen Zhen and Shangguan Xian’er, yet soon other disciples barged into the courtyard.
“Master, who was that Immortal God shouting just now? What an arrogant tone!”
“Master, he’s using provocation tactics. There might be more hidden Immortal Gods in the dark.”
“I think so too.”
“Maybe he’s here specifically for you, Master.”
Those who could come to this courtyard were all second-generation disciples. Compared to the honor of Wushi, they were more concerned about Gu An’s safety.
With such rampant Immortal Gods, they couldn’t help but worry.
Especially over the past years, even disciples of Wushi had gone to participate in the Grand Alliance of the Three Thousand Worlds, faced Immortal Gods, and knew how terrifying their power was, completely deserving the description of unparalleled dominance.
The courtyard became noisy, and Gu An couldn’t continue reading. He got up, looking at the chattering disciples, and said with a helpless smile, “Why all the noise? Can what you see be more than what I see?”
With these words, everyone quieted down.
The Blood Prison Great Saint had not spoken earlier; he felt that no matter how many Immortal Gods there were, they were not a match for his master. But seeing everyone worried about the master, he dared not say so, for fear of fanning the flames.
He had observed for hundreds of millions of years and felt that the master, though verbally claiming fear of the Celestial Court, was not afraid at all. How long had it been since the Heavenly Court Immortals appeared?
The master still hadn’t budged, absolutely unafraid of the Immortal Gods knocking on his door.
Perhaps, when he spoke of fearing Immortal Gods, it was merely to prevent the disciples from becoming complacent.
At least every time the Blood Prison Great Saint thought that the master might indeed be the strongest existence, he couldn’t help but feel his blood boil, uncontrollably excited.
“Master, what do you intend to do?” An Xin asked. She also had full confidence in Gu An, but some matters, once done, would cause a lot of trouble, and she was unsure of Gu An’s considerations.
Gu An sighed helplessly and said, “Originally, I wanted to let all beings hone themselves and, when there was no retreat, I would step in. After all, the Celestial Spirit Great World is the world of all beings. However, since this Head of the Heavenly Gods is after me, I can only act in advance.”
Gu An’s words and demeanor were filled with discord, making the disciples secretly exclaim.
No wonder he’s the master; at the very least, in the art of pretension, he’s already reached the Transformation Realm.
No wonder the books he writes are so enjoyable to read; turns out he’s writing about himself.
The Blood Prison Great Saint suddenly got excited and yelled, “Master, ride on me to slay the Gods and Immortals!”
Everyone was still immersed in the heroic spirit of Gu An’s words, but upon hearing the Blood Prison Great Saint’s words, their emotions were suddenly shattered.
Jiang Shi glared, saying, “Blood Prison Great Saint, does Master need to ride you?”
The others followed in mocking the Blood Prison Great Saint. If such a thing were to happen, in the future, the Blood Prison Great Saint would certainly boast about it, perhaps even press them with it, just thinking about it made their scalps tingle.
Facing everyone’s onslaught, the Blood Prison Great Saint didn’t care at all; he eagerly looked at Gu An.
Gu An shook his head and chuckled, not agreeing to the Blood Prison Great Saint’s request. He looked up towards Outer Heaven, as the Marshal of Heaven was still descending. Judging by his pace, it might take a while to walk down the Heavenly Ascension Stairs.
This Immortal God was doing it deliberately, oppressing the courage of all beings, giving them time to react, leading them to hate Xuanyuan Human Venerable, or even Gu An.
The Ancestor Master Wushi had safeguarded all living beings for countless years and had long become a guardian god in their hearts. Hearing the Marshal of Heaven’s words, many beings were worried that the Ancestor Master Wushi would flee, breeding resentment in them.
Gu An could already sense the emotions of all beings, but he didn’t mind. After all, all beings have diverse behaviors; some hate him, some undoubtedly expect him, and some even wish he would leave, so they wouldn’t have to join them in death.
Now, not only the disciples in the courtyard, but also the beings of the Daoist Field of the Beginningless and the Nine Spirit Dynasty were anticipating Gu An.
Except for those beings who had gone to train in Outer Heaven, other beings all worshiped Gu An, believing him to be the mightiest existence, hoping that he wouldn’t lose.
The words of the Marshal of Heaven filled the hearts of all beings in the Nine Spirit Continent with rage.
At this moment, Taiyi Immortal Monarch, Celestial Spirit God, and the Seventy-Two Immortals of Jin Dong were struggling internally, facing the Marshal of Heaven’s pressure with myriad emotions.
They realized it was time to make a choice.
If they remained kneeling, they would certainly be alienated by Gu An in the future.
But if they stood up, what if Gu An wasn’t a match for the Marshal of Heaven…
After a brief silence, the Celestial Spirit God slowly rose; he wasn’t betting on Gu An’s victory, but he had a reason he must stand up for.
The Heavenly Soldiers, Heavenly Soldiers, and the Immortal Gods on the Heavenly Ascension Stairs seeing this scene, most of their faces showed disdain.
Giving up an Immortal God status just to resist the Celestial Court, utterly foolish!
The Marshal of Heaven’s expression remained indifferent, not stopping his steps, looking down at Taiyi Immortal Monarch.
He could see through the Cause and Effect of the Celestial Spirit God and knew why he acted so.
But Taiyi Immortal Monarch had no such reason.
The Celestial Spirit Great World had no matters directly involving Taiyi Immortal Monarch with Cause and Effect, and Taiyi Immortal Monarch had no fault in the Celestial Court, with no need to oppose it.
Under the gaze of the Marshal of Heaven, Taiyi Immortal Monarch unexpectedly rose slowly.
This scene caused an uproar among the Immortal Gods; the Celestial Spirit God was a minor role in their eyes, but Taiyi Immortal Monarch was different; his Immortal Monarch Destiny made it impossible for the Immortal Gods to take him lightly.
A dignified Immortal Monarch standing up for the beings of one world against the Celestial Court?
What for?
Seeing the Taiyi Immortal Monarch rise, the Seventy-Two Immortals of Jin Dong all clenched their teeth and stood up, their faces filled with determination when their bodies straightened.
Their expressions were identical as they gazed at the Marshal of Heaven, causing him to frown.
“Immortal Cultivation for peace, yet you, honored as Immortal Gods, conduct demonic acts, slaughtering all living beings, disrupting the Great Dao’s order. So be it, I shall awaken you on behalf of the Heavenly Dao.”
A voice came from the depths of the universe, startling all Immortal Gods to turn their heads toward the direction of the Celestial Spirit Great World.
The Marshal of Heaven stopped his steps, turning his head to look; the two grand banners behind him paused, no longer fluttering.
He lifted his right hand, and a Divine Weapon larger than his physical body appeared in his hand, resembling a Heaven-piercing Halberd, with the halberd blade taking up a third of the entire weapon. Upon its appearance, wisps of golden aura spilled out, forming golden dragons and fire phoenixes coiling around the halberd blade.
“Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, heed my order, first eliminate this demon!”
The Marshal of Heaven’s voice rang out, causing the attention of all Immortal Gods to shift toward the direction of the Celestial Spirit Great World.
The Celestial Gods around the World Gate led their respective Celestial Armies flying towards the Celestial Spirit Great World, spreading out and each forming a Heavenly Array.
The various sects and clans in the void retreated in fright, yet their hearts were filled with excitement.
Could the voice just now belong to Ancestor Master Wushi?
The higher the Cultivation Level, the greater the reverence for Ancestor Master Wushi, because they not only heard of but had also experienced battles where Ancestor Master Wushi turned the tides, and they truly believed that as long as Ancestor Master Wushi didn’t flee, the Celestial Spirit Great World would have a chance to continue existing.
The living beings of heaven and earth also heard Gu An’s words, and although Gu An’s tone wasn’t as forceful as the Marshal of Heaven, the casualness in his words instantly calmed their uneasy hearts.
