Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses

Chapter 875: Chapter 867: Point of No Return

[You have successfully slain the Black Fall Emperor (late-stage Daoist Great Luo Immortal Realm) 692,872,400,811,223 years of life span]

Upon seeing the prompt before him, Gu An’s mood instantly lifted.

The Black Fall Emperor was present as he manifested himself, which is why Gu An appeared, saving the need to use Karma Divine Power.

The reason the Black Fall Emperor descended in his true form was naturally not due to recklessness; rather, he had something to seek in the Heavenly Dao.

Now, Gu An, even without resorting to Soul Search techniques, could see through the past of the Black Fall Emperor, especially since they had made contact, grasping the hand for a moment, leaving nothing secretive about the Black Fall Emperor in his eyes.

This was the most life span he had ever seized, which also indicates that even the Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal is not immortal.

The destiny of the Dark Heavenly Court is much like that of the Celestial Court, but it cannot achieve the undying nature of the Celestial Court Immortals and Gods, especially when the Black Fall Emperor came to the Heavenly Dao, repelled by the Heavenly Dao Rules, his life span revealed, thus giving Gu An the opportunity.

Gu An’s gaze turned toward the red-robed man, who was at this moment still in shock.

It wasn’t that he was scared silly, but rather he simply couldn’t believe his ancestor would die; he still thought his ancestor was being deliberately mysterious. However, the longer he waited, the more uneasy he became.

As Gu An’s gaze fell upon him, although he couldn’t see Gu An’s true visage, he could feel a chilling sense of horror as if he were pierced by thorns.

The red-robed man disappeared in an instant, the void silent, as he swiftly maneuvered out of this Great Thousand World.

An Xin frowned, but she did not speak; she trusted her master’s judgment and choice.

Gu An merely turned around and then raised his right hand, his palm opening, and the red-robed man inexplicably appeared within it.

Upon seeing this, An Xin inwardly marveled; even at such close proximity, she could not discern the techniques of her master.

Under An Xin’s gaze, the struggling red-robed man suddenly turned into ashes.

Another prompt appeared before Gu An’s eyes, although compared to the life span brought by the Black Fall Emperor, it was hardly worth mentioning.

“Let’s go.”

Gu An spoke, then stepped forward, disappearing with An Xin into the cosmic void.

On the ground, Li Ya and over ten thousand disciples were still observing, except for Li Ya, none could see clearly what was happening beyond the heavens.

Li Ya hadn’t actually seen the entire process; he only saw the sudden appearance of the Black Fall Emperor and then his disappearance, after a while, the mysterious red-robed man also vanished.

After Gu An appeared, the battle abruptly ended.

Li Ya’s mood was akin to An Xin’s; only by crossing swords with a reference could he appreciate Gu An’s profoundness and unpredictability.

Beside him, a disciple cautiously asked, “Master, the disturbance outside has vanished; does this mean the battle has concluded?”

Li Ya withdrew his gaze and softly laughed, “Yes, it has ended; we have narrowly escaped a calamity. Let the other disciples continue their cultivation. From now on, no one will come to disturb us, at least in this realm.”

These words had barely been spoken before disciples from all around began to cheer, their voices shaking the heavens.

Li Ya took a deep breath, recalling Gu An’s figure, his heart filled with determination.

This time, upon sudden enlightenment, he felt he had truly found the right direction and eagerly anticipated future accomplishments.

Elsewhere.

Gu An and An Xin had already returned to the Daoist Field of the Beginningless, the master and disciple walking along the mountain path just as they did in days past, chatting freely.

An Xin began to summarize the battle, feeling she lacked lethal Great Divine Power, craving that domineering force that could turn enemies to ashes upon contact.

Gu An mocked her greed, telling her to create for herself.

He indeed possessed such Divine Skill but wished An Xin to trail her own path; if utterly impossible, then he would teach her.

An Xin had no thoughts of beseeching Gu An to teach her, desiring to rely on her own Immortal Emperor’s Eye to create, setting this as her cultivation goal, an expectation filled her.

“From now on, you’ll continue in seclusion.”

Gu An suddenly said, carrying An Xin was somewhat inconvenient, having accompanied for so many years was enough, and indeed An Xin had gleaned much, a perfect conclusion.

An Xin never resisted Gu An’s arrangements, nor did she question his reasoning.

Turning to Gu An curiously, she asked, “Master, will you continue to rescue the suffering all living beings?”

Over the years, they ventured into many worlds; aside from slaying monsters and demons, they also left behind opportunities, feeling greater accomplishment from sowing kindness and accumulating virtue rather than merely cultivating their own fortuity.

“Hmm, I will roam again anyways, nothing much to do.”

“Aren’t you afraid the Celestial Court will notice?”

“Afraid, so I’ll come quietly, doing things within my capability, not striving for greater merit, just soothing an uneasy heart.”

Gu An’s reply left An Xin admiring, even as her master grew formidable, he candidly admitted his caution towards the Celestial Court, a trait worth learning.

Thus master and disciple conversed freely, traversing mountains, appearing small and easily veiled by the vast greenery within the expansive Daoist Field of the Beginningless.

…

In the splendid palace, above was a starry sky, countless golden dragons coiling around, their golden glow illuminating the hall, rendering it extremely bright.

The Xuanyuan Human Venerable sat in meditation atop the high platform at the forefront of the hall, behind him was a circular screen, displaying images of land, rivers, and mountains, a great river cascading from the highest peak, flowing past mountain ranges, adorned along its course with picturesque views of the star sea.

This screen wasn’t large, yet upon close scrutiny, it seemed boundless.

At this moment, a figure flew into the hall, an Old Immortal.

It was none other than Cixuan Old Immortal.

Approaching the steps, he saluted Xuanyuan Human Venerable, then raised his head, his visage full of anxiety.

“Your Highness, if this continues, you are certain to meet utter ruin!” Cixuan Old Immortal spoke, gritting his teeth.

Xuanyuan Human Venerable slowly opened his eyes, looking at Cixuan Old Immortal, self-mockingly said, “Do you think I have any means to reverse it now? This is the Celestial Court, even the Ancestor Master Wushi cannot interfere.”

Cixuan Old Immortal followed, “Your Highness, have you forgotten your teacher? You have no other course, it’s time to gamble everything, even not for yourself, you must fight for the living beings of the Three Thousand Great Worlds, this is your Immortal Position, it cannot be defied, nor ignored, or else Cangtian will exact punishment upon you, this is also the scheme of the Supreme Emperor.”

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Human Venerable’s eyes flickered.

“Your Highness, this Taoist knows for certain the Supreme must have left you with means, even if you can’t depart this Cold Palace, you can contact him, correct?” Cixuan Old Immortal asked expectantly.

Not only does he serve Xuanyuan Human Venerable, but his disciples, his descendants, too many causalities rely on Xuanyuan Human Venerable, he cannot afford to lose.

Beyond his juniors, other Immortals and Gods hope he delivers the message to Xuanyuan Human Venerable, imploring him to rally, not to give up.

To give up would mean utter ruin!

Celestial Court Immortals and Gods are immortal, transcending all living beings, yet the struggles within the Celestial Court are fiercer than those in the Human World.
