Chapter 906: Chapter 898 The Impossible-to-Reach Realm
For the all living beings of the Celestial Spirit Great World, ten million years is very long, even considered an era. But for the Wushiji disciples who moved to Central Heaven, it passes quickly.
After ten million years, numerous medicine gardens have been established within the Daoist Field of the Beginningless. Each disciple has their own medicine garden and field, and Gu An’s medicine garden is personally tended by the Ghost Mother of Ephemera.
That year, an unprecedented great battle erupted in the void above the Three Thousand Great Worlds, so much so that even the Wushiji disciples in Central Heaven could sense it.
The disciples sought familiar fellow disciples, gathered together, and discussed the pressure coming from Outer Heaven.
At this moment, Gu An was harvesting medicinal herbs, and the Ghost Mother of Ephemera beside him curiously asked, “Is there a battle outside?”
“It’s the final battle between immortals and demons in the Three Thousand Great Worlds.”
Gu An casually replied as he carefully wrapped the harvested mature herbs and placed them in the bamboo basket before the Ghost Mother of Ephemera.
The Ghost Mother of Ephemera hesitated to speak.
Gu An perceived her thoughts and softly said, “Don’t worry, the Three Thousand Great Worlds will be fine. In the future, cultivators from the Celestial Spirit Great World will still ascend here, and perhaps you may even see those disciples who choose to stay behind.”
Upon hearing this, the Ghost Mother of Ephemera’s face showed expectation.
Many disciples she knew she could no longer see. Occasionally, she felt lost about this. She respected those disciples’ choices but also felt regret.
Now, hearing Gu An’s words made the Ghost Mother of Ephemera suddenly realize.
It turns out they did not leave; they went to the destination everyone needs to reach, waiting for old friends to arrive at the endpoint.
Thinking this way, the Ghost Mother of Ephemera was inwardly cautious.
Those disciples remaining in the Celestial Spirit Great World would never have imagined this.
After countless years, there will certainly be a huge disparity between them and the Wushiji disciples who chose to follow Gu An.
Indeed, only by following the master, is the most correct choice.
At first, she thought the master was merely tired and wanted a change of place, but now, thinking about it, for a great power cultivator like the master, any decision made must have deep intentions.
Gu An heard the Ghost Mother of Ephemera’s inner thoughts and found it amusing but did not expose them.
He came to Central Heaven simply because he found it could be more interesting.
Cultivation is the same everywhere, but observing the development and growth of a Great World makes life interesting, and this process can enhance the understanding of the Great Dao, not only for him but also for other disciples.
The Ghost Mother of Ephemera ceased speaking and began imagining the immortal-demon battle.
This decisive battle lasted a long time, and the pressure transmitting to Central Heaven persistently changed, allowing Wushiji disciples to feel the intensity of this fight.
Days later, that pressure reached an exceedingly terrifying height, shaking the land of Central Heaven and startling the Wushiji disciples.
What kind of realm is this?
“What realm are both sides of the battle at this moment?”
Under the night sky, in the courtyard, Shen Zhen sat meditatively before the artifact refining cauldron, looking at Gu An, and curiously asked.
She originally had her own courtyard but couldn’t get used to it, and later found an opportunity to move back, bragging that it was better for enlightenment here.
Gu An was reading a book, written by a disciple, examining with a scrutinizing and critical mindset.
“Very high, very high.” Gu An answered casually.
The realm of Primordial Profound Venerable Immortal couldn’t yet be disclosed to Shen Zhen and the disciples, because it was too far from them.
Moreover, one side was even higher than the Primordial Profound Venerable Immortal.
Shen Zhen raised her eyebrows and asked, “Very high? So, do I have a chance to reach it?”
Following Gu An in cultivation for many years had already changed her mindset, thinking she could always break through without limit. But tonight’s pressure made her waver, uncertain about how long she needed to cultivate to reach it.
This powerful pressure was transmuting from the Three Thousand Great Worlds, making it hard to imagine what it would be like to be in it.
“No.”
Gu An’s clear answer stunned Shen Zhen, leaving her with no interest, plunging the courtyard into silence.
He was not deliberately discouraging Shen Zhen; this was the reality.
Saint Gu An can help those around him become stronger, far exceeding their limits, but cannot make others infinitely stronger.
Not to mention the Primordial Profound Venerable Immortal, even the Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal depends on one’s own fortune, and neither could achieve it by relying on others through the Xuan Qi Primordial Immortal.
The roads beyond the Immortal Dao are different, following others’ footsteps is not viable.
This is why Gu An guides his disciples toward enlightenment instead of having them focus solely on his Daoist technique.
At night, in the endless mountains and forests, the Wushiji disciples could not settle down to cultivate. They gathered together, discussing this mysterious battle, reminiscing about the past.
They also appreciated Gu An, knowing what coming to Central Heaven meant.
After countless years, they will be beings of high seniority compared to all living beings of Heaven and Earth. Just the thought made them excited; they are all anticipating Central Heaven’s future.
Night passed.
Early the next day, the pressure from the Three Thousand Great Worlds vanished, and the world returned to peace.
The mundane life at the Daoist Field of the Beginningless continued.
Until ten years later, a startling commotion came from afar, waking all the Wushiji disciples.
Gu An was playing chess with Fairy Yaoxuan; the two sat within a bamboo forest, enjoying the gentle breeze.
Fairy Yaoxuan turned her head, frowned, and said, “What kind of presence is this? Even the rules of heaven and earth are converging toward it.”
Gu An played a piece and replied with a smile, “The first lifeform of Central Heaven is about to be born. He is born of the creation of heaven and earth, the celestial dao destiny. His aptitudes are beyond your imagination; he will be the mythic starting point of Central Heaven. Perhaps in many years to come, he will come to us at the Beginningless.”
These words intrigued Fairy Yaoxuan. She looked at Gu An and asked, “Central Heaven’s significance to the Heavenly Dao is unusual. Are you not afraid of being watched by the Celestial Court by bringing us here in advance?”
She always believed Gu An was the Emperor of Eternal Life, although Gu An didn’t acknowledge it, so she didn’t expose him. She was no longer obsessed with past affections with the Emperor of Eternal Life and was more concerned about her own cultivation and her son’s — Sin’s — growth.
In her heart, this is the best life now; she desires nothing else.
Gu An dared not show himself as the Emperor of Eternal Life and remains hidden, evidently wary of the Heavenly Court Immortals, the Emperor of Eternal Life was once pursued by Immortal Gods. This life, Gu An has contended with the Immortal Gods multiple times, which is one reason she wants to become stronger.
Since arriving in Central Heaven, she’s been puzzled, not understanding what Gu An aims to do. As for Gu An’s rhetoric, she equally didn’t believe it could merely be about feeling bored and wanting a change of living environment.
Gu An answered, “Don’t worry, we won’t be discovered. This dojo is different from the one in the Celestial Spirit Great World, and before this world is filled with life, I won’t let disciples venture outside.”
Although he no longer feared the Celestial Court, he didn’t want to publicize it to avoid inflating his disciples’ egos. Of course, he also feared becoming inflated himself.
Upon hearing this, Fairy Yaoxuan nodded, temporarily choosing to trust Gu An.
At that moment, turbulent thunderclouds churned in the sky, the world swiftly darkened, and terrifying heavenly might enveloped all of Central Heaven.
