Chapter 480 Fighting the Heaven
After entering Qianling Palace, Gu An flashed to the center of the hall, sat down in meditation, and began to practice his skills.
He felt a strange force trying to harm him.
Similar to cause and effect, but more terrifying than cause and effect! Gu An used his own causal power to resist, but he was unable to counteract this strange power in a short period of time.
As time went by, Gu An gradually understood this strange power.
This is the backlash of cause and effect!
There seems to be some mysterious force that checks and balances those who use the law of cause and effect to prevent the collapse of order.
Although the law of cause and effect is only one of the three thousand great ways, it has the ability to influence all great ways. It involves time and space, reincarnation, life and death, etc. A small change in cause and effect may subvert everything.
If there is no suppression, the law of cause and effect would seem to be the most powerful avenue.
But in fact, all three thousand great ways are equal. There is no distinction between strong and weak. It only depends on the attainments of the practitioners in their respective great ways.
The stronger the force of cause and effect that is mobilized, the more causal backlash one will suffer.
Gu An opened his eyes and called up the attribute panel to check. He found that his lifespan was decreasing, but his lifespan was already the number after the seizure, and now it was 5.4 billion years.
He practiced his skills while waiting.
The backlash of karma couldn't possibly deduct all of his 1.4 billion years of life, right? If that was the case, then this time he hadn't taken away any of his life.
Don't just not take away your life, you also waste it...
Gu An frowned, but fortunately after a while, the speed at which the life span number started to slow down.
After an incense stick of time, his life span stopped decreasing and it decreased by a total of 200 million years, which meant that he still gained 1.2 billion years of life.
Make big profit!
Gu An breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his right hand and looked at his palm. He saw black lines appearing in his palm, like poisonous wounds, which was very creepy.
He has already endured the backlash of cause and effect, but it will take time to erase the traces it left behind.
For now, his strength has not been damaged, but he has left some causal traces that are difficult to erase in a short period of time, which is not a big deal.
But what should he do in the future when he encountered such a backlash just after using the Wuji Sword Book? Gu An felt that the Wuji Sword Book had to continue to be improved and its causal power strengthened, so that one day he would be able to escape the causal backlash.
In any case, this time not only did we eliminate a hidden danger, but we also gained 1.2 billion years of life, which is a double happiness.
Gu An adjusted his mood and looked at the Wuji Sword Book again.
While using the Wuji Sword Book, Gu An also saw Jian Guming and the old man with deer horns through the sword of cause and effect, but he was unable to deduce their cause and effect from this perspective.
…
Under the starry sky, in front of the golden elixir of heaven.
An Hao and Emperor Yang Xian sat in meditation side by side, each practicing their own skills.
Sudden.
Emperor Yang Xian opened his eyes and frowned. He suddenly turned his head to look at the Tiandao Golden Pill.
The Heavenly Dao Golden Elixir is still burning, looking mysterious and powerful. The aura on its surface is like the law governing the operation of all things, endless, and all kinds of great principles can be seen in it.
An Hao noticed his movements, opened his eyes and looked at him, and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
Emperor Yang Xian stared at the Heavenly Dao Golden Pill and said, "The world suddenly lost a catastrophe. It's strange, but it's true."
"One less catastrophe? What did you see before?" An Hao was even more curious.
"In the process of comprehending the Heavenly Dao Golden Elixir, I saw the future. I saw a river hanging in the sky, visible to all living beings. This river was formed by the sword path, and it would bring a catastrophe that would destroy the heavens and the earth to all living beings."
Emperor Yang Xian replied, his thoughts lost in reminiscence, and he spoke slowly and leisurely. His tone was full of a certain artistic conception, which made An Hao think of the picture he described in his words.
An Hao couldn't help but ask, "Such a catastrophe suddenly disappeared. Could it be that a great power changed the fate of heaven and earth? Is the great world of Tianling peaceful now? There will be no more chaos in the future."
Emperor Yang Xian snorted, "Do you really think that the catastrophe of heaven and earth is due to the ambition of a powerful being? That's not the case. Whether it's the Immortal Dynasty or the Holy Court, their luck is shrinking. Only by devouring the other party's luck can we preserve the Taoism. This is the will of heaven and earth at work. It will continue to emit cause and effect, forcing catastrophes to come one after another."
He turned around, took a deep breath, and said, "When this catastrophe ends, there will be a new catastrophe. If you want to end it completely, there is only one way."
"What road?" An Hao asked with a frown.
He really didn't like this kind of destiny, which made him feel that his talent was a gift from God, and that the Tao he cultivated was also the choice of the will of heaven and earth.
Everything seems to have lost its meaning.
Emperor Yang Xian replied, "That means if only one survives, the Immortal Dynasty or the Holy Court, the winner will destroy 99% of the living beings, causing the vitality of heaven and earth to drop to the extreme, reshaping the rules of heaven and earth, and the will of heaven and earth will naturally fade away."
An Hao's face changed drastically. Ninety-nine percent of the living things had to die? This will of heaven and earth went against his fantasy.
"Of course, such a situation goes against the right path, and it will be difficult for the winner to feel at ease. No one wants to slaughter all living beings, so the Immortal Dynasty and the Holy Court decided to fight to the death and reduce the number of each other's lives at the same time." When Emperor Yang Xian said this, his face was indifferent, as if he had no emotion.
An Hao's brows furrowed even more tightly.
He thought of another thing and asked, "Will the invasion from outer space become a variable? Don't let the outer space forces have the last laugh."
Emperor Yang Xian sneered and said, "They are just bandits. If they are too ambitious, they will only die."
An Hao really wanted to say that if it weren’t for his master hundreds of years ago, we would all have died and the world would have been occupied by the devil.
But he changed his mind and thought that perhaps his master's action was also part of the will of heaven and earth, or even without his master, there might be other powerful beings taking action.
yes.
If the master is so powerful, why would he stay in Tianling Great World? Does the master represent the will of heaven and earth?
When An Hao thought of this, he suddenly felt enlightened.
After traveling around the world for so many years, he had a deep understanding of history and knew that the peaceful years had lasted for countless years, and the current shock was rare in millions of years.
Fudao Sword Master has only appeared for more than a thousand years, and he appeared after Shengtian disappeared.
The more he thought about it, the more it made sense to him, as if he had seen through the truth of the world.
Wait, if the master represents the Way of Heaven, then the master chooses him...
An Hao's expression changed and he fell into a mysterious state.
Emperor Yang Xian noticed his change and could only sigh in his heart that the world was unfair.
Rather than being jealous of An Hao, he was more curious about why the catastrophe disappeared.
In his observation, that catastrophe was more desperate than the previous ones, and he could not forget the figure of Jian Guming.
That figure was even more terrifying than the previous Xuanhuang Demon God and Jiemie God Emperor.
"What kind of existence is fighting behind the scenes? Is this a battle against the heavens?"
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
"But can you really win in a fight with the heavens?"
Emperor Yangxian thought silently, he looked at An Hao again, if An Hao was chosen by Heaven, and would fight against such an existence in the future, does this boy really have a chance of winning?
He couldn't imagine what An Hao's attitude would be like in the future.
…
At the beginning of autumn, in Xuan Valley.
Gu An sat on the cliff, looking at Jiang Shi and An Shengtian who were fighting in the air ahead.
Both of them have already reached the Xuanxin realm. When An Shengtian first came, he was only in his teens or twenties, and now he is approaching a thousand years old.
It is estimated that in another five hundred years, this master and disciple pair will be able to reach the Nirvana realm.
Gu An only cultivated them in Xuan Valley and did not invest much energy in them. Their ability to reach the Xuan Heart Realm was inseparable from their own efforts.
The Blood Prison Great Sage sat behind Gu An and said with emotion: "This kid An Shengtian is really becoming more and more like his ancestor."
An Shengtian looks very much like An Hao, and his demeanor after becoming powerful makes him even more like An Hao.
"He's still a long way off." Gu An said casually.
An Hao has inherited the Heavenly Dao heritage, and his cultivation is improving at an extremely exaggerated speed. It is impossible for An Shengtian to surpass An Hao in this lifetime, and the gap will only get bigger and bigger.
It's not just An Shengtian. Among his peers, everyone can only look up to An Hao.
Gu An suddenly thought of the Tianzong inheritance in his hands. The Tianzong inheritance is also a kind of destiny of heaven, which can make people immortal, but also lose their freedom and be at the mercy of heaven.
Let An Shengtian accept the Tianzong inheritance?
Forget it. Regardless of whether he could catch up or not, there was no need for him to cause trouble for An Hao.
No matter how many disciples he has, An Hao is still Gu An's most respected and anticipated disciple. In his heart, An Shengtian cannot compare to An Hao.
An Hao was the first disciple he had truly cultivated with all his heart, and he had watched him grow up since he was young.
Compared to An Shengtian, Gu An cares more about Jiang Shi.
Jiang Shi has behaved diligently since he joined Xuan Gu. In the past, he used unscrupulous means to join Xuan Gu and might have killed Lu Jiujia, so Gu An had a bad impression of him.
But after so many years of getting along, Jiang Shi has used thousands of years to prove his loyalty, and Gu An has also begun to respect him.
Unlike An Shengtian's strength that can be seen with the naked eye, Gu An feels that Jiang Shi has more prospects. This kid deliberately holds back when facing an opponent of the same level, with the purpose of highlighting An Shengtian's strength.
Gu An even sensed a hint of Tao from him.
Before reaching the Nirvana state, Jiang Shi had already begun to comprehend the law of cause and effect. Judging from his talent for enlightenment, this kid is a rare genius that is hard to come by in a million years.
Of course, it is also related to Gu An’s cultivation of Taoism.
Ever since discovering that Jiang Shi had an extraordinary talent for perceiving the law of cause and effect, Gu An had been releasing the power of cause and effect to him intentionally or unintentionally.
"It's indeed far away. Speaking of which, I haven't heard from An Hao for a long time. Is he in seclusion?" The Blood Hell Great Sage asked curiously. He believed that his master must know where An Hao was.
Gu An didn't answer immediately because someone was flying over.
I saw a figure flying out from Xuan Valley, it was An Xin.
An Xin landed beside Gu An and said excitedly: "Master, a fairy god has appeared in the world!"
Immortal god?
The Blood Hell Great Sage turned his head to look at An Xin, and Jiang Shi and An Shengtian who were fighting were also attracted.
Gu An asked without even turning his head: "What immortal god? Tell me about it."
An Xin sat down beside him and said, "An immortal has come down to earth and said that if you collect nine authentic copies of the Heavenly Dao Theory, you can comprehend the Heavenly Dao Record and inherit the True Immortal's heritage and destiny!"
The Blood Hell Great Sage couldn't help but ask, "What immortal came down to earth? Why is there so little noise?"
In the past, Gu An’s battles with those powerful men were earth-shattering.
In the opinion of the Great Sage of Blood Hell, if a true immortal came, there would be a lot of commotion.
