Chapter 1062: Sacred Destiny
"Ancestor Honggan? How powerful is he that he can even threaten the Heavenly Court?" Gu An asked in surprise.
The face of the ancestor Honggan who was standing aside twitched, which caused the body of the Great Xuanyin Lord to move slightly. He was looking at the ancestor Honggan curiously.
Li Ya shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but I've heard that Patriarch Honggan's cultivation surpasses that of the Heavenly Dao Supreme. Only the Heavenly Emperor, who inherited the Heavenly Emperor's destiny, can hope to defeat him. Patriarch Honggan doesn't dare to show up because he's afraid of the Heavenly Emperor."
"Humph, how is that possible? His vision is not that low!"
Ancestor Honggan couldn't help but snorted coldly, which immediately attracted Li Ya's attention.
Gu An glanced at him and asked, "Why? Do you know Patriarch Hong Gan?"
Li Ya had just felt that Patriarch Honggan was no ordinary person, and after hearing this person's arrogant tone, he also became interested.
When Patriarch Honggan noticed Gu An's gaze, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. His face turned awkward. He coughed and said, "I've heard a little bit that Patriarch Honggan's target is the other eight great paths. The first generation of Heavenly Emperor may be in his eyes, but the current young Heavenly Emperor is not in his eyes. He doesn't want the Heavenly Dao, but a higher pursuit."
Li Ya raised his hand in greeting and asked, "My fellow Daoist, my name is Li Ya. How should I address you?"
Patriarch Honggan glanced at Gu An and said, "My name is not worth mentioning. I am just practicing with the ancestor."
After hearing this, Li Ya couldn't help but look at Gu An and nodded thoughtfully.
Gu An said, "Since Wu Jue has made his choice, let him bear the consequences. We can't just help him without knowing right from wrong. Moreover, I am now an immortal, so I should stand on the side of the Heavenly Court."
Li Ya frowned and said, "I understand the truth, but he didn't do anything evil. He just pursued a power that didn't belong to the Way of Heaven. If he is doomed because of this, it's really a bit..."
Gu An looked at him and said, "You have grown stronger with the help of the Heavenly Court's luck, so you should take on the responsibility of protecting the Heavenly Court. Don't use simple good and evil to define cause and effect and the way of heaven."
Li Ya was silent, thinking carefully about what Gu An said.
Ancestor Honggan and the Great Xuanyin Lord were curious about the relationship between Li Ya and Gu An.
Is such an ant qualified to talk to a saint?
How ridiculous that he dared to call a saint his junior fellow disciple!
However, this was not the first time they had seen such a situation. At most, they muttered a few words in their hearts but did not dare to say it out loud.
Seeing that Gu An didn't want to care about the martial arts, Li Ya gave up and asked, "Junior Brother Gu, have you ever heard of a saint?"
Ancestor Honggan narrowed his eyes.
Gu An asked calmly, "Of course I've heard of it, but there are many kinds of saints. I wonder which one you're talking about?"
"Just like the saints described in your book Investiture of the Gods."
"Oh? That's just a legend, illusory. Have you ever seen a saint like that?"
Gu An asked curiously, his tone and expression suddenly made Patriarch Hong Gan admire him.
With such a high level of cultivation, he is still willing to act with ants. Could it be that the reason why saints cannot see and find him is that he is hiding in the mortal world like Gu An?
"I don't know either. I heard it from other merit immortals. They said they entered an ancient secret realm and saw the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Palace. Some walls recorded ancient wars, which mentioned saints. The original Emperor of Heaven wanted to pursue the saint, but failed. He could only transform himself into luck to bless future Emperors of Heaven."
Li Ya shook his head and spoke as he recalled the past.
At the end of his speech, he sighed, "It is said that the First Emperor of Heaven, who opened up the Heavenly Dao, is the strongest Heavenly Emperor. How powerful must one be to reach the Sage Realm if even he cannot?"
While speaking, he was also observing Gu An's expression.
He first learned about the Daluo Dao Fruit from Gu An. Only when he reached this level did he realize the wonders of the Daluo Dao Fruit. He was very curious about how Gu An viewed him at the time.
What realm is Gu An pursuing now?
Is it a vague saint?
"I don't know how powerful he is, but every time I feel the vastness of the Heavenly Dao, I understand more about that Heavenly Emperor."
Gu An sighed, causing Li Ya to nod in agreement.
The longer he became an immortal god, the more he could feel the vastness and unfathomable depth of the Heavenly Dao. He could not imagine how the First Emperor of Heaven created the Heavenly Dao.
The two of them began to sigh at the way of heaven.
An hour later, Li Ya stood up and said goodbye.
Although he didn't say it, he was still very anxious after Gu An refused to help Wu Jue, and decided to find other ways.
Gu An was right. The right and wrong in Heaven could not be measured by simple good and evil, but Heaven was more gray, and he could still rely on these grays to help Wu Jue.
"The Meritorious Immortals of Heaven appear to be independent of Heaven's destiny, but in reality they are still dependent on the destiny of the Heavenly Emperor. This Heavenly Emperor also enjoys playing these tricks. I feel truly sad for the people of Heaven's destiny."
Patriarch Honggan looked at Li Ya's departing back and snorted coldly, his tone full of contempt, not directed at Li Ya, but at the Emperor of Heaven.
Gu An said calmly: "Sometimes not knowing the truth is also a kind of happiness."
He turned to look at the Great Xuanyin Lord and asked, "What do you think of the Way of Heaven?"
Patriarch Honggan turned his head. Although the Great Xuanyin Lord was a prisoner, this guy was a real saint, and it was difficult for him to look down on a saint.
Normally, even when they were alone together, the Great Xuanyin Lord disdained to talk to him, which made him suspect that the Great Xuanyin Lord was just a shell.
Although the Great Xuanyin Lord was arrogant towards him, he never dared to pretend to be dead when facing Gu An's questions.
"If you want to compare yourself to the Great Dao, you must overestimate your own abilities."
The voice of the Great Xuanyin Lord sounded, his tone was cold and indifferent, without the arrogance he had when facing Zhang Buku and the others.
"Are you overestimating your own abilities?"
Gu An smiled and did not refute.
Patriarch Hong Gan heard the hidden meaning and couldn't help but ask, "Senior, do you think the Emperor of Heaven can become a saint?"
The body of the Great Xuanyin Lord visibly tensed up.
Gu An poured himself some tea while answering, "It's not that I feel that way, but I have already granted him a holy fate, and he will soon become a saint."
As soon as these words came out, Patriarch Honggan's face changed drastically. The Great Xuanyin Lord was also shocked. He cried out, "Impossible! Achieving the Dao and becoming a saint cannot be achieved with the help of external forces. It can only be achieved through one's own luck!"
Gu An smiled and said nothing more. His attitude made the Great Xuanyin Lord fall into silence again.
After a brief shock, Patriarch Honggan's heartbeat began to accelerate.
If the Emperor of Heaven can become a saint with the help of Gu An, why can't he?
At this moment, Patriarch Honggan's heart was about to jump out, and he was completely lacking in the composure of the Supreme Rong Dao Emperor.
Gu An looked up and gazed towards the sky.
"When you become a saint, the laws of nature will truly change. I hope you can create more wonderful things and don't let me down."
Gu An's chuckle sounded so weighty in the ears of Patriarch Honggan and the Great Xuanyin Lord.
The Great Mysterious Yin Lord asked in a trembling voice: "Who are you? Could it be that you..."
Patriarch Honggan waited for him to continue speaking, but unfortunately, he refused to finish.
