Chapter 588: The Illusory Heaven
The sea was surging, thunderclouds covered the sky, and lightning flashed continuously in the sky, making the atmosphere between the sky and the sea extremely depressing.
Zhang Buku, dressed in dark red armor, was suspended in the air, holding a spear in his hand. The Lord of the Divine Realm stood back to back with him. The two of them stared into the distance. Looking around, there were powerful figures blocking the way in all directions. Those strong men kept a distance from them and were forming a formation.
There was another person next to Zhang Buku, and the two were five feet away from each other. This person was ragged, his face was covered in dirt, and his hair was messy, making him look like a beggar. He was thin, and facing enemies on all sides, he had a playful smile on his face, which was in sharp contrast to the nervous expressions of Zhang Buku and the Lord of the Divine Realm.
"Hey, Zhang Buku, look, you might as well give the treasure to me. At least you won't die. Do you regret it?" The thin man looked at Zhang Buku and asked jokingly.
Zhang Buku didn't say anything, but the Master of the Divine Realm snorted coldly: "Xu You, don't you want to die?"
The thin man called Xu You spread his hands and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if I die. I am just experiencing the reincarnation calamity. There is still a next life after death. You are the original body. When you die, you are really dead."
Hearing this, the eyes of the Lord of the Divine Realm were filled with coldness.
"You three dared to harm my son, and no one can escape today!"
A roar like thunder resounded under the thunderclouds. The raging rage caused the sea of clouds in the distance to disperse. A bronze statue larger than a mountain was approaching. It was an eight-armed statue wearing armor and holding a magical weapon in each hand. On top of the statue stood a man in a white robe, his white hair fluttering like flames, his face ferocious, and the murderous intent in his eyes almost condensed into substance.
Zhang Buku looked at the eight-armed bronze statue and said, "Even if you are a reincarnated body, you probably don't want to die. Let's fight together. Once you get out, I will give you a chance to fight fairly for the treasure."
When Xu You heard this, his mouth opened wide, revealing two rows of black and yellow teeth. He chuckled and said, "You are quite sensible. Let's fight together. Don't fall behind. I won't look back."
After saying that, he turned and walked in another direction, flying with his back to the eight-armed bronze statue. In front of him, there were also many monks blocking his way in the sky.
There were countless powerful people watching this battle from afar. The one watching the battle the farthest away was Gu An, who was in the distant Tianling world.
While Gu An was refining the Taoist treasure, he was watching the battle, mainly watching Xu You.
Xu You did not lie to Zhang Buku, he was indeed a reincarnation body.
This guy's true form is not simple. Gu An can feel that his cultivation is similar to his, and he possesses the aura of heaven.
In other words, this person is most likely a deity from heaven.
If Gu An had not broken through to become the Daluo Immortal of Kaitian, he would probably not have been able to see through the cause and effect of his original body.
Xu You and Zhang Buku's meeting is by no means accidental, because Zhang Buku is the inheritor of Buddha and immortals, who are also related to the Heavenly Palace.
Fortunately, judging from Zhang Buku's fate, Xu You had no intention of harming him, but wanted to support him.
Although Gu An was curious, he had no intention of investigating.
Xu You didn't even know of his existence, so why would he provoke him? Even for the top powers in the universe, the Heavenly Palace was mysterious and illusory.
However, there are many immortals and gods wandering around in the Three Thousand Worlds. Some people know their identities but can only pretend not to know.
The cause and effect of the immortals and gods are too great. Even though the Tianling World is guarded by only one immortal god, Tianling God, many forces dare not break in by force.
It seems that there is a place where one can communicate with the gods who protect the world with permission from some authority.
Gu An looked at it for a while and then stopped paying attention.
His life is peaceful now, and he doesn't want to have any cause and effect relationship with the Heavenly Court too soon.
As long as there is no necessary reason, Gu An will not take the initiative to provoke the Heavenly Court. He wants to stay in the Tianling World.
Gu An couldn't help but think of the God of Heaven.
In this life, Bai Sheng has embarked on the path of cultivating immortals with the help of Su Jin. Gu An hopes that he can have a compassionate heart so that the Tianling world can have gods.
The gods not only protect the universe, but also stabilize the heavens.
The reason why Gu An wanted to try to win over Tianling God was because Tianling God violated the principles of heaven for the treasure of the Immortal Palace. This at least showed that Tianling God was not that loyal to Heaven.
Although the Tianling God once wanted to destroy the Tianling World, that was a task assigned by the Heavenly Court and he delayed it for many years.
During the long years, the Tianling God would not listen to any explanations from anyone who posed a threat to the existence of the Tianling World, and would kill them whenever he encountered them. By doing so, he at least reduced the occurrence of many disasters for all living beings.
"God of Heaven, I am looking forward to your future. I hope you won't let me down. If it doesn't work, I can only kill God."
Gu An thought so in his heart and a smile appeared on his face.
Until then, he will continue to enjoy his peaceful life.
When Xiao Lan naturally awakens her past life memories, he will let her choose whether to stay in the Wu Shi Dojo or continue to travel the world.
The current Tianling world is not that big in Gu An’s eyes. Here, he is omnipotent and he can dominate everything.
…
The Enlightenment Conference lasted for a full five years. Each temple had a special Enlightenment platform. Those who achieved outstanding enlightenment would be notified to various cities and become famous throughout the world.
Xiao Lan lived up to everyone's expectations. Her understanding of the Dao touched the Dao stone tablet and she stood out. Gu An, who was following her to gain enlightenment, could see that Master Su and the fellow cultivators were ecstatic.
Master Su is usually very calm, even a little cold, but in the face of Xiao Lan's outstanding achievements, she failed to maintain her image. Fortunately, Xiao Lan could not see this scene.
The Dao Court is too large, with tens of thousands of branches. The Enlightenment Conference is similar to the imperial examinations in the human world. It is an opportunity for disciples to change their fate. Those disciples with mediocre spiritual roots and aptitude will also have hope. The Dao Court values the understanding of the Dao more.
Xiao Lan didn't wake up until the enlightenment conference was over.
Gu An accompanied her off the stage and was soon greeted by Master Su and other teachers.
"Come on, I will take you to meet the powerful people in the court. Your comprehension has been recognized by those above. Disciple, you will really become a prodigy in the Taoist court!" Master Su held Xiao Lan's hand and said excitedly.
Xiao Lan looked at Gu An hesitantly. Gu An winked at her and said, "Go ahead. It's not like we're saying goodbye. Wait for you to come back and tell me about it."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Hearing this, Xiao Lan's face broke into a smile and she nodded immediately.
Master Su pulled Xiao Lan and flew away quickly. Other great monks from the same lineage also began to care about their disciples. Seeing that they had nothing to say to him, Gu An turned around and left.
"Gu An, right? You'd better be prepared. Xiao Lan will soar to great heights in the future and become someone you and even the rest of us look up to." A middle-aged Taoist suddenly said, looking at Gu An's back.
Gu An did not stop. His back made the other great monks shake their heads. They all thought he was stubborn, not knowing that feelings were fragile in the face of time and talent.
Cultivating immortals is a process of mastering the heart of Tao and controlling instincts. When a cultivator overcomes the control of the seven emotions and six desires, he will naturally make the most beneficial and rational decision for himself.
Gu An didn't pay attention to the discussions of the group of wandering immortals. His mind was on Long Teng.
Long Teng was about to get into trouble, and he was ready to lend a hand.
No matter what, he is Long Zhan, and Long Teng can be considered his descendant. Moreover, Long Teng’s coming to Daoting was arranged by Li Xuandao. If something goes wrong, the Li family and the Long family will become enemies, which will not be good.
Gu An didn't want to test people's hearts.
He didn't walk fast, as if he was just strolling around. After all, fighting was not allowed in Daocheng.
Gu An was very satisfied with Long Teng's performance over the years. There was almost nothing wrong with this kid's character. If he had to say something, it was that he was too upright and not selfish enough.
This kind of character is rare in the Long family. Gu An not only wants to save him, but also is ready to give him a hand.
At the same time, on another street, Long Teng was walking side by side with a man in blue.
"You are so amazing! When the stone tablet in front of you glowed, there were exclamations from the audience, and many people were trying to find out your origins!"
The man in blue was sent by Li Xuandao to accompany Long Teng in his training. After seeing the prosperity of Dao Court, he felt that Taicang Continent was very backward, so he acted very cautiously. Over the years, he saw Long Teng suppressing various geniuses, and even the geniuses of Dao Court were no match for him. He was very happy.
Especially in his performance at the Enlightenment Conference, Long Teng's comprehension reached the highest level, and the number of people who could compare with him could be counted on two hands.
Compared to the excitement of the man in blue, Long Teng was very calm.
He was still thinking about his previous enlightenment.
He felt that he needed to find a path that was truly suitable for him. His current methods were too diverse, making him a little confused.
The two walked all the way towards the city gate. Even though Long Teng didn't respond, the man in blue kept talking. He began to look forward to Long Teng ten thousand years later. He felt that Long Teng would surpass Yang Jian and become the number one general of the Taicang Dynasty.
By the time they reached the city gate, Long Teng was still thinking about enlightenment.
Suddenly, a figure stopped them.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" the man in blue asked with a frown.
Long Teng's train of thought was interrupted and he frowned subconsciously. He looked up and was about to speak when his pupils suddenly dilated. He froze and his body even trembled a little.
