Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses-Chapter 759 - 751: The Immortal Arrives, Born for the Destiny

Chapter 759 -751: The Immortal Arrives, Born for the Destiny

Looking at the small tree in Sin’s hand, Gu An could feel a formidable curse power contained within the tree, eerily similar to the malevolent force of the Desperate Celestial Tomb. If one were to be ensnared by the tree’s vines, their mana would dissipate. Even if one could manage to escape, they would be plagued by misfortune for the rest of their life.

Gu An chuckled softly, “Not bad, but you must be careful of being backfired by this kind of power.”

Sin nodded, then began to speak excitedly, describing the inspiration and future plans for this divine skill.

In Gu Xuan’s long life, he had done many things, but never took on a disciple. After merging with his memories, facing his disciple again, he felt a sense of novelty.

As he regarded Sin, he suddenly understood the meaning of reincarnation.

To the Great Dao, reincarnation was of little help, but to those beings with regrets in their hearts, reincarnation was hope.

The existence of the Path of Reincarnation made the world constructed by the Great Dao not just one of birth and destruction.

Having figured this out, Gu An no longer dwelled on the matter.

Compared to such questions, there were many other things worth pondering.

What shall I do tomorrow?

Should I listen to music, or indulge in wine and pleasure?

Nevermind, I’ll combine both!

…

In the darkness, a figure appeared out of thin air, his entire body shining with the strong light of the Heavenly Dao, clad in heavy silver armor and wrapped in a long golden scarf, looking extraordinarily divine.

He lowered his eyes, his expression cold and indifferent, and within his eyes, specks of starlight appeared, seemingly containing two universes.

“Indeed, full of life, but alas, everything shall be reshaped. The happiness, pain, hatred, and hope you now possess will become meaningless, yet seeing the presence of Immortal Gods in one’s lifetime is fortunate enough, a life not lived in vain.”

The Silver Armor Immortal God muttered to himself as he raised his right hand, and a golden scroll appeared in his hand, unfolding it with his left hand.

In an instant, the scroll burst forth with brilliant golden light, dazzling like the sun, illuminating the darkness. Strands of golden energy gushed out, increasingly faster, countless in number, all flying toward the darkness below, forming a magnificent river of golden qi.

At the same time, deep within the void of the Three Thousand Great Worlds emerged innumerable golden qi, quickly growing larger, surging toward the heavens and the earth of various realms.

Gu An, standing side by side with Xiao Lan, slightly raised his eyes, and through the Celestial Spirit Great World, he saw the conditions of the other Great Thousand Worlds. A powerful force of Immortal Gods was descending, this force would present all beings the vision of the Immortal Gods’ arrival, and convey the will to compete for destiny, telling them how to survive the upcoming calamity.

To end killing by killing, to strive by fighting!

“Brother Gu, do you think there’s a genius in our Xiao Family?”

Xiao Lan turned her head to look at Gu An, smiling as she asked. They stood at the eaves of a palace, overlooking a vast square in front, where tens of thousands of disciples of the Xiao Family were meditating and absorbing qi. The spiritual energy formed spirals of varying sizes, creating a spectacular scene, while the edge of the square was marked by a sheer cliff, thick fog shrouding the mountain, as if fairy traces were hidden within the mist.

Gu An replied, “Compared to our era, these disciples are all geniuses.”

Xiao Lan shook her head and laughed, “As you said, compared to the past, but in the current human world, they are nothing. Even the lowest mortals in our continent are engaging in Immortal Cultivation. Upon reaching adulthood, they possess qi power comparable to the Foundation Establishment Realm. The standard for talent has long changed.”

What she spoke of was the continent in which the Xiao Family resided, where even the lowest mortals were cultivating immortality.

Indeed, the Celestial Spirit Great World was gradually detaching from the Mortal Realm. With the strengthening of the Celestial Dao Destiny of the Celestial Spirit Great World, more Ascenders would be guided to this realm. To the beings of the Lower Realm, the Celestial Spirit Great World was equivalent to the Immortal Realm, vast beyond imagination, where one could pursue longevity.

Gu An nodded slightly, not responding further. He could sense Xiao Lan’s little thoughts, but he had no interest in supporting the Xiao Family.

Xiao Lan wanted to support the Xiao Family because recently they had borne a prodigy of Heaven. Unfortunately, the boy’s mother bore a deep blood feud; if he left the continent in search of the immortal path, he would face assassination. If not for Xiao Lan’s intervention, he would already be dead.

Aside from her, the strongest in the Xiao Family was merely at the Dao Void Profound Immortal Realm. In the current Celestial Spirit Great World, a Dao Void Profound Immortal was nothing remarkable.

If the prodigious youth stayed on the continent, following the Xiao Family’s cultivation path, they feared squandering his talent. Thus, the elders of the family turned to Xiao Lan for help.

Xiao Lan had long since noticed the extraordinary nature of the youth’s physique. However, she was unsure about teaching him. Taking advantage of Gu An’s visit, she invited him to observe the cultivation of the Xiao Family disciples.

Seeing Gu An simply nod without stating much, Xiao Lan bit her lip. “Brother Gu, you know what I wish to ask. Please take a closer look at him. I don’t ask you to take him under Wushi, just point out his physique and tell me how to guide his cultivation.”

Her gaze held a hint of melancholy. She knew Gu An was deliberately waiting for her to speak first.

She recalled those early days back in the Xiao Family when she had vowed to strengthen the family relying solely on its members. Over millions of years, through countless tribulations, she had never turned to Gu An for help. Now, breaking her promise for the sake of a junior left her feeling rather frustrated.

But there was no other choice; despite the Xiao Family’s millennia of existence, the talents they had produced were insignificant compared to those of the Dao Court. Now having a prodigy whose physique she couldn’t discern, she didn’t want to miss this opportunity. It might be the key for the Xiao Family to soar.

She had been in seclusion for many years, watching over the Xiao Family. For the family to thrive, it relied on future generations.

If they could produce someone like Emperor Tianhong, Zhao Rushen, or Yuan Luo, the Xiao Family would undoubtedly ascend, forging deep connections with the major sects of the time.

“This child’s physique is the Primordial Chaos Body. In all the realms, very few can match his innate talent. However, the Primordial Chaos Body requires awakening. Currently, he has yet to fully manifest his potential.”

Gu An nonchalantly remarked, gazing down at the square. His attention was with the Three Thousand Great Worlds, his mind split in two. The other half was responding to Xiao Lan; the prodigy of the Xiao Family did not interest him.

“Primordial Chaos Body?”

Xiao Lan’s eyes lit up in excitement. After millions of years, had the Xiao Family finally borne fruit?

“How can he awaken?” Xiao Lan hurriedly asked.

Gu An replied, “He needs powerful mana to shatter his meridians, bones, and flesh. When he is on the verge of death, his Primordial Chaos Body will absorb nature’s spiritual energy, helping him regenerate his body. From then on, he will be unstoppable.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lan frowned, her excitement dissipating.

Such an awakening method seemed overly cruel.

Gu An looked at the celestial vault and said, “His physique has indeed emerged due to destiny. The world is about to change again, and perhaps this heralds the replacement of the Old and New Eras.”

Hearing his words, Xiao Lan felt even more conflicted.
