Chapter 672: People's Fickleness
After parting with Zhu Xi, Gu An's life fell into peace again. He devoted himself to studying and creating the Dao, but this path was extremely difficult, and always made this Daoist master ponder.
The years pass quickly.
Another ten thousand years passed.
This year, the Taiqian Dynasty launched a surprise attack on the Dao Court, sparking war on earth.
Taicang Dynasty, the Imperial Palace, in the Imperial Garden.
While pouring wine for Gu An, Li Xuandao said with emotion: "That Tai Qian is really amazing. He actually dared to launch an attack on Dao Court. Regardless of success or failure, the courage of Emperor Tai Qian is enough to make me admire him."
Taiqian is the most powerful dynasty in the world. Although the Taicang Dynasty has not been annexed by it, it can still feel its power.
If Taiqian had not had any grudges with Daoting, Li Xuandao felt that Taiqian would have attacked Taicang Continent sooner or later.
Gu An played with the jade statue given to him by Li Xuandao and said with a smile, "Why, Your Majesty also wants to learn from Tai Qian?"
He had been to Taiqian for a visit. Taiqian was filled with a warlike atmosphere from top to bottom. The war against Daoting was not due to any grudges, but just to use the grudges to achieve hegemony.
Tai Qian has many powerful sects behind him, which is also their confidence.
Next, the two forces will fight for thousands of years, until the sky and the earth are dark, until Zhao Rushen leads the Dao Court to suppress Tai Qian and ascends the throne of the Lord of the Dao Court. At this point, the Taichu period comes to an end.
From now on, there will be an era called the Ancient Times, which will be much longer than the Primordial Times. The final battle of the Ancient Times will plunge the world into desolation, thus entering the Ancient Times.
Gu An’s vision can see back to a very distant period, even to the Tianyuan period where Ji came from.
It’s just that the Tianyuan period in the future is completely different from the Tianyuan period where Ji is.
However, he must be born. If he does not exist, the memory he brings to Gu An is illusory.
“It’s a lie to say that I don’t want to learn. As an emperor, who doesn’t want to unify the world? However, Dao Ting is too strong. Without the certainty of victory, I will not drag the people of Taicang to die.” Li Xuandao shook his head and said.
Today, he has reached the level of Xiaoyao Yuanxian. Although his cultivation speed is not as fast as Wu Shi's disciples, it is still considered fast in the world.
The two chatted about world affairs, and from time to time they talked about Li Ya, Yang Jian, Long Teng and others.
Now, the person Li Xuandao values most is not Yang Jian, nor the prince, but Long Teng.
As the son of Long Qing and now the ancestor of the Long family, Long Teng has grown up and his cultivation has reached the level of Miao Fa Ling Xian. He symbolizes the strongest talent of the Taicang Dynasty and is a world-famous genius.
Li Xuandao asked curiously, "By the way, I've always wanted to ask, Long Teng's cultivation speed is getting faster and faster, even Yang Jian is surprised, are you secretly cultivating him behind the scenes?"
Miaofa Lingxian is the sixth level of the immortal path. One can roam freely outside the sky. Those who reach the Miaofa Lingxian realm a million years ago are all unique talents that are hard to come by among billions of creatures.
Gu An picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "See through but don't say it."
He really liked Long Teng and often transformed himself into other people to get close to Long Teng. Long Teng could be what he is today thanks to his Taoism. When Long Teng was practicing, his Taoism enveloped Long Teng and helped him realize the Tao.
Long Teng is still unaware of this.
In fact, although Gu An's Taoism can help people, it is more of a way of adding fuel to the fire. If Long Teng's comprehension is extremely mediocre, he will not be able to cultivate his current accomplishments even if he uses Taoism to help him every day.
After hearing this, Li Xuandao became even happier and started inviting people to drink.
The two of them drank for two hours before Gu An said goodbye and left.
Li Xuandao looked at Gu An's departing back and couldn't help asking, "Gu An, how long can this kind of life last?"
One hundred thousand years seemed so long to him, not to mention that he was the emperor and faced more separations and deaths than ordinary people.
He even sent away many of his descendants, and the ministers in the court were replaced one after another.
Only when facing Gu An will his heart calm down and he will feel that there are some things that time cannot erase.
The most ruthless is the imperial family. Li Xuandao has become completely alone.
Gu An raised the jade statue in his hand and said, "Until you despise it."
Li Xuandao watched him suddenly disappear, shook his head and laughed, whispering to himself: "How could I hate him..."
His expression gradually became complicated. He did not stand up, but still sat at the table, not knowing what he was thinking about.
After leaving the Taicang Dynasty, Gu An appeared on the sea of clouds and strolled forward.
“People’s hearts are always changing.”
Gu An sighed and said that he didn't want to interfere too much in Li Xuandao's life.
Li Xuandao had been emperor for too long. When the Taicang Dynasty stopped expanding, internal conflicts broke out. He had executed rebellious royal children, which made his relationship with the royal family increasingly distant.
Li Ya and Li Lingtian had already traveled freely around the world and never came back.
When Gu An didn't look for him, he would always stay in his bedroom or the imperial study, either practicing or reading.
Not only Li Xuandao, other old friends also encountered difficulties in life to some extent. These difficulties were not caused by the environment, but more by the state of mind.
The journey of cultivating immortals is long. When one is unable to make a breakthrough for many years, one’s fighting spirit will weaken and one’s thoughts will become confused.
Ambition and emotions are intertwined, just like the human heart in the world, complex and difficult to control.
Not to mention them, Gu An would occasionally become impetuous, especially when his path to success was not going smoothly.
Because of this, Gu An likes to travel around the world. He has been to all major sects and dynasties in the world.
The various creatures always help his Taoist heart calm down quickly.
The reason why he was looking for Li Xuandao to drink today was because his path to creating the Dao was finally making progress. He was in a good mood and wanted to drink with friends.
Li Ya was busy settling scores, so Gu An couldn't find him, so he could only find his father.
When Gu An met Li Xuandao, Gu An was still very weak, so when he saw Li Xuandao, he could think of his own weak time, which is a feeling that cannot be brought by the friends made after becoming powerful.
Soon, Gu An disappeared above the sea of clouds.
He came to Xiao Lan's cave and exchanged places with his clone.
Xiao Lan is about to come out of confinement.
After returning from the Great Dao, the growth rate of her cultivation slowed down. Even after seclusion for 100,000 years, she could not see any hope of a breakthrough, which made her very upset.
“Brother Gu!”
The voice comes before the person arrives.
Gu An, who was admiring the flowers and plants, was about to turn around when he was pounced on by Xiao Lan.
Xiao Lan kissed him without saying a word and even took off his clothes.
Although there were only two of them in the cave, it was the first time that Gu An encountered such brutality.
A few days later.
Xiao Lan stood up from the grass, straightened her clothes, looked into the distance, and sighed, "Brother Gu, I suddenly feel that I am not a true genius, and I am beginning to encounter bottlenecks."
Gu An stood up, looked at her profile, and asked, "How about we have a sparring match?"
Xiao Lan turned her head to look at him and shook her head slightly.
"Brother Gu, I don't need to rebuild my confidence by defeating you. Even if I defeat you many times, my cultivation level won't improve." When Xiao Lan said this, a look of nostalgia appeared on her face.
If she defeats a strong enemy on the road to the avenue, at the end of the battle, the aura of the avenue will surge towards her, and she will be able to rapidly increase her cultivation in a short period of time.
The feeling was so wonderful that she still misses it.
"Who said I want to lose to you?"
Gu An's voice interrupted Xiao Lan's thoughts and made her meet his gaze.
Xiao Lan was stunned. It was the first time she saw Gu An look so serious.
She curled her lips and said, "Why? Do you want me to let you go?"
Gu An stared at her and said quietly, "Even if you use all your strength, you can't beat me."
