Chapter 879 The Lord of the World
Gu An came to the stone table in the middle of the Imperial Garden, placed the Samsara wine on the table, and said with a smile: "This wine is good. I drank a bowl of it earlier. It really has the mystery of Samsara."
Li Xuandao, who was wearing a loose white robe, looked at Gu An and asked, "Are you here for the underworld?"
Ever since the Tianling World repelled the army of immortals and gods, beings from the underworld have contacted him, hoping to cooperate with the Taicang Dynasty to build a road connecting yin and yang. He did not agree and is still considering it.
Gu An sat down, rolled his eyes at him, and said unhappily, "When have I come to see you? Have I ever come here not to relax?"
After hearing this, Li Xuandao couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. Then he took the initiative to pick up the wine jar and pour wine for Gu An.
Afterwards, Gu An talked about what he saw and heard in the imperial city. There were many changes that Li Xuandao had not noticed. At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, but as he listened, he felt that the scenes described by Gu An had a unique artistic conception.
Li Xuandao couldn't help but sigh, "I really don't know how big the gap is between your realm and mine. Your casual description of a street in the folk can also make me feel deeply moved."
Gu An smiled and said, "The Great Dao is everywhere. The so-called immortals and mortals are a distinction made after birth, but in the eyes of the Great Dao, immortals and mortals are the same."
Li Xuandao seemed to be thinking about something.
Gu An looked at Li Xuandao and could see all of Li Xuandao's future. Ever since he defeated the army of immortals and gods, the destinies of many people in the world have been constantly changing. Li Xuandao, who was already Luotian Zizaixian and could be regarded as one of the overlords of the world, was affected even more.
Li Xuandao's ambition is greater than anyone else's, but he rarely reveals it. He won't even tell Gu An, but Gu An can see and hear it.
Gu An neither supported nor opposed Li Xuandao's ambition.
He admired Li Xuandao's determination and attitude towards cultivation, and believed that Li Xuandao was a fellow cultivator like him.
So far, except for Gu An, no one knows Li Xuandao's true cultivation level. He always lowers his level by two major realms to show others. Some people have also forced out his true cultivation level, but they all died in his hands in the end, so this secret has always been a secret.
Gu An has deeper expectations for Li Xuandao.
That is the Lord of Heaven and Earth.
Li Xuandao was emperor for 160 million years and never exploited the people for his own selfish desires. He might be domineering, and court officials and clan members were afraid of him, but he did nothing wrong to the people.
Gu An has decided to leave the Tianling World in the future. He hopes that someone will protect the Tianling World at that time, which will fulfill his wish.
No matter what, Gu An was born in the Tianling World in this life. Even if he would not say it, in his heart, the Tianling World still held great importance.
As for why he wanted to leave the Tianling World, it was not because he was afraid of trouble, but because he simply wanted to go out and take a look.
In order to become stronger, he has been lurking in the Tianling World. Not to mention the Supreme Emperor of Rongdao, even beings beyond the Free Immortals would travel through the heavens.
In the future, he will also go to other worlds to live in seclusion, constantly changing his place of practice, and truly enjoy the freedom of the great way.
Before that, what he needs to do is to make a breakthrough.
After surpassing the Supreme Rong Dao Zun Emperor, he will be more relaxed. Even if he leaves the Tianling World, if people are in danger, he can help them at any time, and even take action across the heavens and all worlds.
As the two chatted, Li Xuandao mentioned the Heaven Palace. He sighed and said, "I don't know how the first immortals and gods came about. Does the legendary Emperor of Heaven really exist? Did he create the Heaven Palace?"
He felt that with Gu An's ability and his attitude of not fearing the Heavenly Court, perhaps Gu An had met the Emperor of Heaven and even had a close relationship with him.
Gu An gently shook his wine glass and said, "Then I don't know, but you can think about it from the people in the imperial city. They are just as confused as you are. They are curious about how the Taicang Dynasty was established, and they also question whether you really exist. Even if you are in the same city, 90% of the people will never see you in their entire lives."
Li Xuandao thought about what Gu An said and felt as if he suddenly understood something.
"If you become the master of the human world, you will be the emperor of heaven in the hearts of all living beings in the Tianling world. I hope that by then, you will not forget your current contempt and hatred for the immortals and gods."
Gu An said in a teasing tone, which made Li Xuandao's heart beat faster.
Lord of the world!
How does he know my ambition and what does this mean? He supports me?
Or, did he see the future?
Li Xuandao felt ecstatic. The development of the Taicang Dynasty had stagnated for tens of millions of years. He had also been confused. The status of the Tianling Taoist Alliance was as solid as a rock, and there was no hope of collapse. He even felt that his ambitions would never be realized.
Gu An looked at Li Xuandao's excited expression and changed the subject, talking about his own grand-disciple.
The number of disciples in Wu Shi Dao Chang has been increasing. With more people, conflicts will always arise. He spoke out a conflict he saw, which resonated with Li Xuandao.
Li Xuandao's descendants would fight each other for power, which sometimes gave him a headache.
He felt that he needed to learn the mentality from Gu An.
The two sat in the imperial garden and chatted, just like many years ago. At that time, Gu An was not yet the Unbeginning Master, and Li Xuandao was not yet the immortal emperor.
…
In the dark sky and earth, thick fog was surging.
Zhang Buku and Xu You stood in front of a stone tablet with strange words engraved on it, which made them frown.
“The texts in this ancient heaven all contain the true meaning of the great Dao. I cannot understand many of the words. I am afraid that even after ten thousand years, you and I will not be able to break out.” Xu You said in a pessimistic tone.
Zhang Buku clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Ten thousand years? The three thousand worlds can't wait!"
Xu You glanced at him and said, "To be honest, even if you and I return to the Three Thousand Worlds, nothing can change. You should know how terrifying the background of the Heavenly Court is."
After hearing this, Zhang Buku's face became even uglier.
When he thought of the Tianling world turning into a purgatory on earth, his heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife, and those beautiful memories seemed to be torn apart.
"You can practice with peace of mind now. The Tianling World has been saved."
A voice suddenly came from the stone tablet, and Zhang Buku's face changed drastically.
The owner of this voice was none other than Emperor Gu Tong Xuan Zun! For the first time, Zhang Buku felt that this guy's voice was so pleasant to the ear. He quickly asked, "Really? What happened? Did the Heavenly Court decide not to clean up the human world anymore?"
Xu You was also surprised. As a former emperor, he knew very well what kind of struggle was behind this disaster. How could it be stopped just like that?
"There was a transcendent being called the Wushi Patriarch who repelled all the invading immortals and gods. As a result, the Tianling World was saved, but other worlds were still being swept by immortals and gods."
The First Master?
When Zhang Buku heard this, he was stunned.
Is there such a thing in the Tianling world?
Xu You's face changed drastically, he knew more clearly what these words meant.
Emperor Gu Tong Xuanzun's voice sounded again: "However, the Wushi Patriarch will bring disaster upon himself. The emperor will deal with him personally. A very terrible destiny of the heaven is descending on the Tianling World. This emperor has the power to rival the emperor of heaven. The Wushi Patriarch will surely be doomed."
