Chapter 992 Daoshu Zun
Under the dark starry sky, a huge old tree stood motionless. Vines hung from each branch, and at the bottom of the vines were oval fruits of different colors, shaped like eggs, trembling slightly.
On a branch, a man in a black robe was meditating and practicing. His white hair was as white as snow, and there was a thin vertical crack on his forehead. His skin was pale and bloodless. The hem of his clothes was very long, like willow catkins, fluttering in the wind. There were three tails hanging under his green clothes, one like a dragon, one like a snake, and the other like a lion.
Sudden.
The man in black robe opened his eyes, frowned, and a look of surprise and suspicion flashed in his eyes.
He subconsciously raised his hand and covered his chest.
"What's going on? What does this feel like?"
The black-robed man muttered to himself, his tone filled with confusion.
He began to cast a spell, and the vertical eyes on his forehead opened and moved left and right, as if looking for something.
However, no matter how he deduced, he could not find the root cause, nor did he even find anything abnormal about himself.
In the end, he had no choice but to give up.
He looked up into the depths of the void, his eyes closed, and his gaze was full of deep meaning.
"Emperor of Heaven, it seems that ending you is not that easy."
The man in black robe muttered to himself with a strange smile on his face.
He raised his right hand, and the fruits in the distance shook and fell off quickly, all colliding together and condensing into a wooden stick with a hook-like tip. The whole thing gradually changed from dark green to red, and there was a faint surge of black air.
He held the staff, and the black robe on his body fluttered, and his whole aura seemed to change.
…
Halfway up Wuzhong Mountain, Gu An sat on the edge of the cliff and wrote. From here, he could see the beautiful mountains and rivers, which were magnificent and boundless.
Fairy Yaoxuan came from behind and came to his side. She looked at the paper hanging on the wooden frame in front of him and read the words on it:
"Dao Shuzun..."
Fairy Yaoxuan seemed to be lost in thought. When she thought of the name, she felt the aura of cause and effect coming towards her, which made her feel terrified that the foundation of her Taoism was unstable.
Gu An glanced at her and chuckled softly, "You're becoming less cautious. You even dare to pronounce an unknown name?"
Fairy Yaoxuan shook her head slightly and said, "I'm indeed not as cautious as before. Perhaps it's because I've started to rely on you and trust you."
Gu An was at a loss for words, so he had to change the subject and ask, "Did you see anything just now?"
"Killing, endless killing... and devouring?"
Fairy Yaoxuan recalled and described, saying that in just a moment, she saw so many scenes, and the more she recalled, the more she remembered.
At the end, Fairy Yaoxuan said firmly: "It is indeed devouring. He wants to devour the destiny of the heaven."
There is nothing strange about devouring luck, but it is terrifying that Dao Shuzun wants to devour the luck of the Heavenly Dao.
The Way of Heaven is so vast. To the creatures of the Way of Heaven, the Way of Heaven is everywhere and is everything. Even chaos cannot compare to the Way of Heaven in their eyes. They believe that the Way of Heaven will replace chaos sooner or later.
Now a creature appears, who becomes stronger by devouring the luck of heaven, which makes Fairy Yaoxuan feel uneasy.
If the Heavenly Dao collapses, wouldn't all of them, the creatures of the Heavenly Dao, be in danger?
Even though Fairy Yaoxuan disdains the immortals and gods in heaven, she still has awe for the Heavenly Dao that raised her.
Dao Shuzun will definitely become the most terrifying enemy of the Heavenly Dao, and even bring despair to the people.
She looked at Gu An, hoping he could help her solve her problem.
The fact that Gu An was able to write down this name must have been because he had calculated Dao Shuzun's future actions in advance.
"You guessed right. This Dao Shuzun came from the Chaos. He is an existence older than the Heavenly Dao. Before the Heavenly Dao was opened up, the creator of the Heavenly Dao once went to listen to his preaching." Gu An gave a simple introduction, but his words were enough to shock Fairy Yaoxuan.
Older than the Way of Heaven?
Fairy Yaoxuan looked at Gu An with a very subtle look. If she could see such an ancient existence, then what kind of existence was Gu An?
"What are you going to do?" asked Fairy Yaoxuan.
Gu An replied: "My position is naturally the way of heaven."
He was born in this life under the Heavenly Dao and based on the Heavenly Dao. Even if he is not under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao, he is willing to repay the Heavenly Dao.
Moreover, the people and things he cares about are all within the laws of nature.
Even though he had become a saint, he had no desire to let go of these things and people.
Becoming stronger is not only to avoid being bullied, but also to protect everything you want to cherish.
Gu An wants to become stronger for various reasons.
He never tries to do anything deliberately, he just does it spontaneously.
Fairy Yaoxuan looked at him and said seriously, "You have changed. You are becoming more direct and more like him."
Gu An knew who she was talking about, but he didn't care. Instead, he said, "What about you? What do you care about?"
Fairy Yaoxuan replied, "Before, it was Sin'er, and then there was him. Now, I want to return to my old self, unencumbered by emotions, and to seek the truth with all my heart."
"Then you must hurry up. It will be very chaotic and will also give rise to stronger talents."
Gu An chuckled softly, then he picked up the pen and continued writing.
Fairy Yaoxuan looked carefully, but this time she did not read out the words she saw.
"Jiuhong?"
Fairy Yaoxuan thought to herself that these two words were full of profound meaning, making her want to explore what they represented.
…
Above the sea of clouds, Liu An and Wei Ye followed behind Yang Jian. They were extremely excited and would work together from time to time to demonstrate the combat tactics they had just mastered.
Ever since Tianhao arranged for them to practice with Yang Jian, their strength has improved by leaps and bounds, which has made them feel very happy and they feel that following Tianhao is the best choice they have ever made.
Yang Jian stood in front, his brows furrowed, ignoring the sparring between the two behind him.
They flew forward on the clouds and quickly arrived at Tianhao's palace.
After entering the palace, they walked straight ahead until they reached the steps. After the clouds dispersed, the three of them saluted Tianhao above.
"Junior brother, the situation has changed again. His Majesty is planning to select nine Dao Heavenly Emperors from among the former emperors to guard the eight directions. Xuanqing Xingjun has come to me and told me that I am within His Majesty's selection range."
When Tianhao said this, he was not happy, but looked worried.
Having experienced so many calculations, it was difficult for him to believe in the current emperor.
After hearing this, Yang Jian immediately said, "This is indeed a conspiracy. The title of the Great Dao Emperor is enough to make you on par with the Supreme. I think you don't have to worry too much. The Heavenly Court has indeed been in trouble recently. Your Majesty needs more power. Moreover, even if there is a conspiracy, protecting the Heavenly Court is the duty of us immortals and gods. It's just that some positions are more dangerous."
Tian Hao nodded and said, "I'm not afraid, it's just that the four words 'Dao Tiandi' make me think too much."
Yang Jian said, "The Heavenly Army and the Meritorious Immortals have been gaining momentum recently. Senior Brother needs to accumulate merits and reputation. This is a good opportunity. The God also said so. He asked me to persuade you to agree and not miss it."
Tian Hao did not express his opinion immediately. He looked at Yang Jian and asked, "If Master were here, what do you think he would say?"
