Chapter 392 Accepting Fate
When Emperor Yang Xian's angry cry resounded throughout the world, the prelude to the era of great strife was officially unveiled.
Emperor Yang Xian, who had successfully broken through, descended upon the Holy Court, and powerful men from other immortal dynasties followed closely behind, launching an unprecedented offensive against the Holy Court.
However, the Holy Court had great luck and was able to use it to condense a formation to block Zizaixian's attack, which made Gu An marvel at it.
The uses of the Way of Qi and Luck are very rich, no less than the Way of Cause and Effect. To be precise, each of the three thousand great ways has its own merits, and there is no absolute distinction between strong and weak. It all depends on the practitioner's attainments in that way.
In the end, the Holy Court resisted the offensive of Emperor Yang Xian, who had to retreat and return to the Immortal Dynasty to begin seclusion.
Although the Holy See survived, it suffered heavy losses in this battle, causing the forces distributed in various regions of the world to begin to shrink.
When the sects around the world saw that the Holy See was not as invincible as they had imagined, many of them began to stir.
Who doesn't want to become a member of the Holy Court? They just succumbed to the power of the Holy Court, which does not mean that they are loyal to the Holy Court from the bottom of their hearts! In the following autumn, the entire Tianling world fell into turmoil.
In late autumn, Gu An brought An Xin to Renjian Peak, and they soon felt the tense atmosphere there.
The world is in chaos, and sects and dynasties are all watching. Even if they have no ambitions, they have to take sides. This is a major change that has not happened in millions of years, and all forces are very cautious.
After Gu An finished picking herbs at Dingtian Peak, Zhu Xinglan found him and said that the main peak invited him to attend the peak master meeting. Gu An did not refuse and set off.
All the masters of the sacred peaks participated, and when Gu An arrived, he received goodwill from many of the peak masters. After all, in their eyes, Gu An was an existence that surpassed Xiaoyao Yuanxian, so naturally they had to win him over.
When all the masters of the sacred peaks gathered, Taoist Yongnian began to explain the situation of the Human Peak. The Holy Court hoped that the Human Peak would support them and attack the affiliated lands of the Immortal Dynasty together.
The Immortal Dynasty took advantage of the victory and expanded rapidly after suppressing the Holy Court, with the momentum of a tiger swallowing up the world.
Now Taoist Yongnian wants to discuss whether or not to support the Holy Court, and if so, how to support it?
Gu An did not participate in the discussion, but just listened quietly.
The vast majority of peak masters believed that they could not rashly support the Holy Court this time. The strength of the Immortal Dynasty shocked their cognition, especially the Yang Xian Emperor. When Shengtian mysteriously disappeared, the Yang Xian Emperor showed his courage to be the best in the world.
The world's number one is in the Immortal Dynasty, how dare they support the Holy Court? Gu An did not look down on them for this. In fact, their guess was correct. Without Shengtian, the two free immortals of the Immortal Dynasty would not be defeated.
The peak leaders' meeting lasted for an hour, and they finally decided to agree to the Holy Court first, but would discuss later when to take action.
Gu An returned to Dingtian Peak and taught Anxin how to practice.
It was not until the evening that the two returned to Taixuan Gate.
Walking in the woods outside Xuan Gu, Gu An moved forward while observing Zhu Xi.
"Master, who do you think will have the last laugh between the Immortal Dynasty and the Holy Court?" An Xin asked excitedly. Following Gu An, she was not afraid of a war between the two powerful forces. She believed that her master could protect her from the wind and rain.
"It's hard to say, but what is certain is that this disaster will last for a long time."
Gu An answered casually, his tone calm, as if he didn't take the matter to heart at all.
An Xin asked how powerful Emperor Yang was. Today, she heard many disciples from Renjian Peak talking about Emperor Yang, calling him the strongest in the world and the pinnacle of the immortal path.
"Very strong. Even with Hao'er's aptitude, it would take millions of years to reach that level." Gu An's answer made An Xin stunned.
Millions of years...
After the shock, An Xin fell into endless reverie.
After a million years, is she still alive? She couldn't help but look at her master.
How long has the master lived if he can say a million years so easily?
Would a million years be like ten years or even one year for ordinary people in the eyes of her master? Anyway, she felt that no matter how powerful Emperor Yang was, he could not be as powerful as her master.
Gu An didn't know what she was thinking, but when he saw Zhu Xi pretending to be innocent after stealing the herbs and sobbing in front of her master, he wanted to laugh.
If Taichu Tunyuanti is given time, he will surely become the strongest person in the world, even stronger than Emperor Yangxian.
Unfortunately, she was born late and happened to live in such turbulent times. She was really unlucky.
etc!
Could it be...
Born to meet disaster?
Gu An showed interest and began to deduce Zhu Xi's fate.
The cause and effect of Taichu Swallowing Yuan Body is hard to predict, but as a Taoist Zang Zizaixian, Gu An can more or less deduce the cause and effect.
…
As time went by, as the Immortal Dynasty and the Holy Court went into an all-out war, the whole world was filled with smoke of war, and there were many more meteors in the sky at night than before.
There were constantly more and more overseas monks fleeing to Taicang Continent to seek refuge, which brought with it many grievances that continued to spread.
Twenty years passed in a flash.
In late summer, Gu An and Lu Jiujia stood side by side on the edge of the cliff, looking into the distance.
Lu Jiujia's hair is full of white, and he looks more and more old every year. The effect of the anti-aging pill has disappeared.
"Over the years, the atmosphere within Taixuan Sect has become increasingly tense. Even the sky is not as blue as before and always looks gloomy." Lu Jiujia sighed.
There were layers of dark clouds scattered across the sky, but they did not cover the entire sky, and there was no wind or rain.
Gu An responded, "Yes, it is a troubled time. Tell me, are we lucky or unlucky in this life? We always encounter various disasters. Although we have survived them safely with the protection of Taixuan Sect..."
Lu Jiujia smiled and said, "Of course I am lucky. Those seniors also feel that they have suffered a lot in their lives. They all feel that they were not born in the best period."
"I didn't expect you to be so understanding." Gu An glanced at Lu Jiujia and said with relief.
As Lu Jiujia's deadline got closer, he couldn't help but think of Xiaochuan.
Why hasn’t Ogawa been reincarnated yet?
Could it be that he was reincarnated into another world?
Gu An thought about how the Immortal Dynasty summoned back so many powerful immortals from the Samsara Vortex, and felt that the Samsara Vortex was not that simple.
"That's what my senior brother taught me well, and I won't live for many more years. The disasters in my life were all caused by myself, so I can't blame others. Anyway, I'm quite satisfied with this life." Lu Jiujia shook his head and laughed.
Gu An snorted, "How come all of you have no regrets when you die of old age? Are you afraid of being a burden to me?"
He has seen off many people, and each of them left with a smile on their face, so he doesn't feel too sad, except for some nostalgia when he thinks of them occasionally.
"Hahaha, senior brother, don't think too much. Is it possible that under your care, we really live well? We have all been out there and seen the dangers of the world, so we can cherish our present life and be satisfied with the life we have lived. You really don't need to think too much. No one should be responsible for another person's life." Lu Jiujia laughed a few times, and then said seriously.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
He could see that the senior brother cared a lot about the cultivation of those around him. He knew that the senior brother did not ask for wealth and prosperity for those around him, but only hoped that they would live longer.
Gu An smiled and said, "I'm not overthinking. I'm actually selfish. I don't want to die alone. If you all die, I will be so lonely."
Lu Jiujia smiled and said, "Everyone will die eventually, and it is irresistible."
"Yes, let's talk about the Great Sun Sect. Who knows, they might call us someday."
"That can't be possible. The Broken Sea Region is protected by the Holy Court. Is the Great Sun Sect stronger than the Great Cold Demon Sect of the past?"
Lu Jiujia frowned and said, recently news about the Great Sun Divine Sect has been flying everywhere, and even the realm of Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal has forcefully squeezed into the cognition of Taixuan Sect's disciples.
Anyway, all the news pointed to one thing, the Broken Sea Region was about to face an unprecedented threat, and it would be difficult for the Taicang Dynasty in the Broken Sea Region to escape the disaster! Gu An smiled and said, "Why not make a bet and guess whether the Great Sun Divine Sect can defeat the Fudao Sword Master when it comes?"
When Lu Jiujia heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "I bet they are no match for Fudao Jianzun!"
Gu An's smile froze, and he said, "No, let's draw lots and decide the order of priority."
"I don't."
"Are you itching for trouble? Don't think that just because you're old, your senior brother won't dare to hit you!"
"Oh, the disciples are all watching. How disgraceful! You must maintain your dignity as the eldest disciple and not make it difficult for the next generation of eldest disciples."
The two began to bicker and laugh.
…
There are continuous mountains and several attics located in a forest.
A young man knelt in the courtyard, his face full of stubbornness, his eyes fixed on the gate.
"No matter how long you kneel, I will not give you your ancestor's secret bag." A female voice came from the gate.
The young man gritted his teeth and asked, "Why? Are you really going to let go of the blood feud between my father and my grandfather? They are your descendants too!"
"That's why I can't let you continue to take risks. What's wrong with being a mortal? No one will have a good ending if they set foot in the world of immortal cultivation."
"When ordinary people encounter powerful forces or immortal cultivators, they are like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others!"
The young man almost hoarse when he spoke the last part.
The mysterious woman inside the gate fell into silence.
for a long time.
The mysterious woman said quietly, "The An family's bloodline is deeply cursed. None of your ancestors had a good ending. Even my son didn't live past the age of 30. The more you cultivate immortality, the worse your ending will be. Even so, are you determined to do it?"
"The magic bag left by our ancestors might be used to solve this problem."
"it's useless."
"I don't believe it! Just leave it to me and let me decide. Someone has to try it!"
The young man said in a deep voice, his body was shaking, because he had been kneeling for too long, and his emotions were so agitated that his energy and blood were insufficient.
Bang——
The door suddenly opened, and a brocade bag flew out and landed in front of the young man.
The young man was overjoyed and immediately picked up the brocade bag and opened it. He found a note inside. He took it out tremblingly and checked it. There were two big words written on the note.
Accept your fate!
The young man was struck by lightning, his eyes widened and he was completely stunned.
“Why…why…”
The young man muttered to himself, his hands clenched into fists, and the piece of paper was also crumpled into a ball. His nails dug into his flesh, and blood oozed out, staining the paper in his hand.
