Chapter 789: All Below Saints Are Ants
When Gu An's clone and Hong Yazi went to Xuanyou Divine Abyss, Gu An's original body was still in Wushi Dojo.
Gradually, Gu An went out less and less often. Except for picking herbs on a regular basis, he stayed alone in a bamboo forest in the Wu Shi Dojo, thinking quietly.
The disciples also noticed that he was unusual, but no one was worried. They all thought that he was going to create some extraordinary skills or supernatural powers.
Time flies.
About ten thousand years have passed since Li Lingtian came for help.
Gu An's clone and Hong Yazi have already gone deep into the Xuanyou Divine Abyss, and they have run into trouble and are trapped somewhere, unable to leave.
It was a clear and sunny day.
A gentle breeze blew into the bamboo forest. In the beautiful green scenery full of vitality, Gu An, dressed in white, sat on the steps in front of the attic. His hair was disheveled and his clothes were loose, as if he had just woken up from a dream.
He supported himself on the steps with one hand and placed the other hand on his knee, pinching a bamboo leaf between his fingers.
"What on earth is this..."
Gu An murmured to himself. Over the years, he had been searching for a feeling, but he could never figure it out. He even performed multiple life projections, which made the feeling even stronger. He felt like he was about to grasp it, but could never grasp it. Even though he was in the realm of Hunyuan Tongxuan, he couldn't help but worry about gains and losses.
It is worth mentioning that his clone also had the same feeling.
This is also the reason why he did not immediately rescue Hongyazi.
They were trapped in the mysterious abyss of the gods and were bound to encounter a catastrophe, but as that inexplicable feeling emerged, the calamity became unclear.
All along, Gu An's practice has been about improving his Taoism. Although he would temper his Tao heart and increase his understanding of the Tao through various means, he has never felt the existence of his state of mind as much as he does now.
It seemed that there was a state of mind waiting for him to break through.
After the breakthrough, he may not become stronger, but it makes him want to achieve it very much. This is the feeling that only appears after reaching the level of Hunyuan Tongxuan Immortal.
It seemed that there was a force guiding the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, which in turn affected Gu An.
Just then, a figure came out from the woods, came to Gu An, and bowed to him.
"Master, my Immortal Emperor Pupil has been feeling uneasy lately, causing my Dao heart to become violent. Why is this? I clearly haven't encountered any stimulation." An Xin looked at Gu An and asked with a worried look on her face.
Ever since she handed over all the matters of Wu Shi to An Zizai, she has devoted herself to cultivation. Now, she has reached the level of Luo Tian Zizaixian, and is ahead of all Wu Shi's disciples.
Gu An's eyes did not move away from the bamboo leaf in his hand. He replied softly: "Another pair of Immortal Emperor Pupils appeared in the Three Thousand Worlds. Your Immortal Emperor Pupils sensed your nemesis, so they disturbed your mind."
After hearing this, An Xin quickly asked, "How can I solve this problem?"
"Either go and kill that person, or hone your mind, overcome the influence of the Immortal Emperor's Eye on you, and truly dominate it."
Gu An’s answer made An Xin fall into deep thought.
Killing people is definitely not an option. There is no grudge or hatred between them. Even if the Immortal Emperor repels him, An Xin cannot do such a thing.
To hone your mind? Anxin feels challenged because she has been suffering from it recently.
However, no matter how difficult it was, she had to overcome it. She couldn't bring shame to her master.
"By the way, Master, you have often come to this bamboo forest in recent years. What are you studying?" An Xin asked curiously.
Gu An glanced at her, raised the corner of his mouth, and smiled: "My teacher, like you, needs to overcome the confusion in his state of mind."
Hearing this, An Xin smiled and actually felt relieved.
Even a strong master would face similar situations, and she couldn't help but feel inspired.
The master and disciple continued chatting. Gu An was concerned about her cultivation progress, and she answered truthfully.
With Wu Shi's development to this point, Gu An no longer needs to teach his disciples personally, as the disciples will inherit the knowledge on their own. It must be said that An Zizai's management ability is excellent, even surpassing An Xin. He manages the entire Wu Shi very well, and no disciple has suffered any grievances.
An Xin stayed for a long time before leaving.
Gu An still sat there thinking.
…
Xuanyou Shenyuan, the sky here is dark red, the mountains are undulating, and although there are trees, there are no flowers or leaves, let alone a trace of green.
Gu An and Hongyazi were walking in the mountains. Hongyazi looked around with a frown on his face, appearing very impatient.
He suddenly stopped and said in a deep voice: "I won't go any further. No matter where I go or where I fly, even if I destroy this place, I can't get out!"
Gu An stopped, half turned around, tilted his head to look at him, and asked, "If you don't leave, are you going to sit and wait for death?"
"If it doesn't work, you and I can practice here, and maybe we can break through and get out."
"How long will it take to break through?"
"But if we keep going, I don't know how long it will take to get out. This Mysterious Abyss is too weird. How come I have never heard of such a restriction of heaven and earth before?"
Hongyazi said depressedly. He was the Daluo Immortal of Kaitian. Since he reached this level, he had never encountered such a powerless situation.
Gu An retracted his gaze and continued to move forward, leaving only one sentence: "Then you stay here, I will move forward alone. If I escape, I will come back to save you. If I die in front and you succeed in breaking through, then don't worry about my body."
Hearing this, Hongyazi's expression changed slightly, and his eyes became resentful.
"Do you have to say it so absolutely?"
Hongyazi cursed in a low voice, then followed Gu An's footsteps.
"I'm curious, why are you so calm?" Hongyazi came to Gu An and asked.
Gu An looked straight ahead and asked, "I'm also curious, why are you so impatient? You've been practicing for so many years, can the time we've been trapped be as long as the time you've been in seclusion?"
Hongyazi choked and couldn't help but reflect on himself.
Is it really that there is something wrong with my heart? The two of them fell into silence on the rest of the journey.
I don’t know how long I walked, maybe half a day, or maybe decades, hundreds of years, or even thousands of years.
Gu An's expression changed. Following his gaze, he saw that the hillside in front was filled with stone tablets of various sizes, engraved with strange words and obscure patterns.
The numb Hongyazi was also attracted by the scene in front of him. He took out his whisk and was on guard against any strange numbers breaking out.
The two continued to move forward and came to the foot of the mountain. They did not rush up the mountain, but watched from a distance.
Their eyes were involuntarily attracted to the largest stone tablet on the hillside.
"That seems to be the writing of the ancient heaven." Hongyazi pondered.
Gu An asked in surprise: "Ancient Heaven? Was there another Heaven in the past?"
Hongyazi shook his head and said, "The Ancient Heaven is the Heaven of the previous Emperor. The Emperor lived longer than all living beings in the Heavenly Dao, so the earlier Heaven is equivalent to a legend and is called the Ancient Heaven. An immortal god in Piaomiao Immortal Court once obtained the skills of the Ancient Heaven. I was also taught by him and recognize this word."
"What is written on the stele?" Gu An asked.
Hongyazi's expression became strange. He hesitated for a moment and said, "It says that if you don't become a saint, you will be illusory. All those below a saint are ants."
