Chapter 1021: The Existence of Devouring Life
Beyond Chaos?
The Epiphyllum Ghost Mother thought about what Gu An said, but she couldn't imagine what was beyond the chaos.
If chaos is a collection of endless universes and planes, then how should the outside of the universe appear?
The more she thought about it, the more insignificant she felt. She seemed to possess powerful magical powers, but compared to the vast and boundless chaos, what was her power?
Thinking of this, she felt a strong curiosity in her heart and wanted to explore the chaos and practice for a lifetime. If she could travel through the chaos, then she would truly have no regrets in her life.
Gu An walked in front without disturbing the Epiphyllum Ghost Mother's thoughts. His gaze had already jumped out of the sky and looked down at the chaos.
In his view, chaos is like a big chess game, with chess pieces constantly moving and the situation constantly changing.
It took a long time.
“Almost ready.”
Gu An whispered to himself, his face calm and his tone emotionless.
Epiphyllum Ghost Mother regained consciousness. She looked at Gu An and asked curiously, "What's almost ready?"
"The Great Dao, Nine Hongs."
"What is that?"
"That is the true reason for the war between Heaven and Chaos. It can determine the fate of Heaven and Chaos. It can make everything become an illusion, or it can make all illusions come true."
Gu An’s answer changed the look in Epiphyllum Ghost Mother’s eyes. She longed for such power.
The two walked along, chatting about the fate of chaos and heaven, which also broadened the horizons of the Epiphyllum Ghost Mother.
The Epiphyllum Ghost Mother was secretly grateful. She understood that her master was giving her some advice, so she listened very carefully.
He waited until Gu An finished picking the herbs before leaving Wu Shi Dao Chang and coming to Fang Cun Island.
In order to find something for Xuanwu to do, Gu An asked him to open up a medicinal field on the island. In addition to planting medicinal herbs, he also adopted some sea monsters.
In the past years, Xuanwu has raised batches of monsters. Many of them have grown up and become powerful and dominant on the sea. This has also made the name of Fangcun Island widely spread and become a fairy island in mythology.
With those powerful monsters guarding it, it is difficult for practitioners with ulterior motives to find this place.
Gu An appeared on the island and walked along the beach. Xuanwu, who was meditating on the reef, heard the footsteps, opened his eyes and looked. When he saw it was Gu An, he immediately stood up, landed on the beach, and bowed to Gu An from a distance.
He waited until Gu An came in front of him before straightening his back and asking, "Master, how come you have time to come here today?"
"If I didn't come, would you be more comfortable and be able to dominate the world and become the master of Fangcun Island?" Gu An tilted his head, looked at the waves on the sea, and asked softly.
Xuanwu immediately smiled and said, "How is that possible? I was just playing with the little monsters, don't take it seriously."
He knew that even when his master was not around, he would be able to know everything he did, so he never acted presumptuously.
Gu An snorted lightly and did not continue to suppress him. Instead, he asked, "How is your practice recently?"
Upon hearing this, Xuanwu immediately looked sad and started complaining.
In the past, he just didn't like practicing, but now he was hit by his own talent, because the little monsters he adopted became more powerful than him, which shocked him deeply.
After being hit, he began to practice hard, but he could not catch up with those little monsters. There was even a rebellious little monster who mocked him for not making progress, which made him very angry.
Gu An just found it funny after hearing this. He knew the relationship between Xuanwu and those little monsters. Although they often bickered, their relationship was really good. Even if those little monsters surpassed Xuanwu, they still cared about him, otherwise why would they stay in this sea area? With their talents, they could definitely go to a wider world to explore.
Sometimes, Gu An found it quite interesting to watch Xuanwu raise monsters, cultivate them, and then have conflicts with them.
There is also warmth in the ordinary. After watching so many earth-shaking battles, watching such scenes is quite interesting.
Xuanwu grew increasingly angry as he spoke, until a ray of light flashed across the sky, interrupting him. He turned his head and exclaimed in surprise, "The True Essence is back."
Then, his face fell, it turned out that the master did not come for him.
Over the years, Gu An has spent less and less time on Fangcun Island, and he is worried about being abandoned, so he was very happy to see Gu An today. He seemed to be complaining, but actually he wanted to talk to Gu An more.
The ray of light soon came in front of Gu An and the others, revealing the figure of Zhenyuan Patriarch.
Today, the Zhenyuan Patriarch has an extraordinary temperament, and the bearing of a powerful person who has attained the Tao is fully displayed, making Xuanwu, who has not seen him for a long time, a little dazed.
Xuanwu suddenly understood what those little monsters said. The world outside is really different.
After many years of absence, the Zhenyuan Patriarch came back again. His aura made Xuanwu feel in awe, and he didn't even dare to bow his head.
This guy's cultivation level must have far surpassed his...
For the first time, Xuanwu felt envious of Zhenyuan Patriarch.
Patriarch Zhenyuan bowed respectfully to Gu An, then smiled and nodded to Xuanwu. Although he didn't say much, Patriarch Zhenyuan always had Xuanwu in his heart, and his status was second only to Gu An.
"Master, I have something important to discuss with you privately."
Patriarch Zhenyuan said seriously, Gu An nodded, then turned and left, and Patriarch Zhenyuan immediately followed.
Watching them leave, Xuanwu felt lonely and an unprecedented desire arose in his heart, a desire to become stronger.
The other side.
Gu An brought Zhen Yuan Patriarch to the forest on the island. As he walked, he asked Zhen Yuan Patriarch what he wanted to see him about.
The True Yuan Patriarch's expression darkened. He took a deep breath and said, "Master, the calamity of Heaven is coming."
Gu An was happy and said with a smile: "Didn't you come earlier? Don't forget that I am a merit immortal of the Heavenly Court. I have participated in the wars waged by the Heavenly Dao against foreign powers."
The True Yuan Patriarch shook his head and said, "No, the enemies that Heavenly Court is facing now are far less terrifying than that existence. He is devouring the Great Dao, and neither Heavenly Court nor the various forces of Chaos have noticed it. Moreover, I have seen some scenes..."
As he spoke, his eyes revealed a look of fear and even some terror.
Gu An restrained his smile and waited for him to continue.
The True Yuan Patriarch paused and continued, "I saw him constantly killing in the future and the past, and absorbing some kind of power from the victims. My Dao tells me that he was devouring the lifespans of living beings. He quickly grew stronger through the killings, and he was probably relying on taking the lifespans of living beings to improve his own cultivation."
Gu An's expression remained calm as he asked, "How can you be sure that it is devouring lifespan and not mana?"
"Because those killed in his hands quickly grew old and died, but their bones remained. If it was due to the devouring of magic power, I could see through it."
Patriarch Zhenyuan tried hard to calm down. The scene he saw was far more terrifying than he described.
and……
He felt that the terrifying existence had already noticed his deduction!
