Chapter 1081: Chapter 1072: Possession During the Listening of the Dao
Hong Yi spoke casually, but Gu An could feel her longing, her desire to belong, to be closer to Gu An.
Gu An possessed the great power of Wushi, yet she could not integrate into it, which made her doubt her standing in his care, with Wushi being what Gu An truly cared about.
“Alright, but even if you join Wushi, you can’t be the leader. You need to restrain yourself a bit. You’re too powerful, and I fear you’ll overshadow the other disciples,” Gu An nodded and said.
These words made the corners of Hong Yi’s mouth rise, and Gu An’s words pleased her greatly.
She never cared about fame or status; she only cared about Gu An’s attitude and opinion of her. Gaining Gu An’s approval was more important than anything else.
“Since you want to become stronger, I’ll give you some special treatment,” Gu An said seriously.
Hong Yi, although one of the Nine Great Dao, possessed unparalleled talent, but her path was entirely shaped by Gu An, and her achievements would also make him proud.
Having already become the first Celestial Emperor, she needed to maintain her position!
Gu An would not allow anyone to surpass her!
As for the Wushiji disciple, he was well aware that no one could compare to Hong Yi, only An Xin could come closest to her.
Ji Xiaoyu and Xiao Lan had no chance to become one of the thirty-two Celestial Emperors.
Immediately, Gu An began to lecture Hong Yi; Hong Yi didn’t need divine skills or Daoist techniques, what she needed was comprehension, which could actually be accumulated through perceptive experiences.
The first Celestial Emperor worked so hard, let alone other listeners.
The listeners at the Palace of the Polestar became highly sought after by various factions, and if there was power, the listener’s status would also rise sharply.
The pursuit of the position of the Celestial Emperor became the main theme!
Some even wanted to seize the chance to listen to the Dao.
When the second listening of the Dao at the Palace of the Polestar began, the Celestial Emperor revealed someone had been possessed but did not expose who, which made the listeners feel a sense of crisis.
After the second listening of the Dao at the Palace of the Polestar ended, four new Celestial Emperors were born.
An Xin successfully joined them, but unfortunately, not as the fifth Celestial Emperor, but as the seventh, which left her secretly dissatisfied.
Though dissatisfied, Ji Xiaoyu, Xiao Lan, Tian Hao, Lu Lingjun, Zhu Xi, and others who knew her were shocked.
Unknowingly, An Xin had grown to such a level.
Back in the Human World, An Xin was so ordinary, only favored by Gu An, and unexpectedly she reached this far.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that aside from the Celestial Emperor and Gu An, An Xin’s comprehension had reached the seventh level of the Heavenly Dao, which was an astounding honor.
After the second lecture ended, the listeners quickly left without much interaction, but after leaving the Heavenly Realm, many listeners faced attacks, even the seventh Celestial Emperor An Xin was not spared.
In the Human World, beside the Great River, Gu An rode a horse, and Hongqian Ancestor quickly returned to lead the horse, while the Great Profound Yin Dominator still followed behind.
“The slaughter has begun, yet the Celestial Emperor didn’t stop it, but instead acquiesced to this behavior.”
Hongqian Ancestor clicked his tongue in wonder, thinking the Celestial Emperor truly wanted to elevate those listeners, but it seemed unlikely now.
“Guarding one’s own opportunity is a kind of cultivation, not to mention they can stay in the Heavenly Realm for refuge. Leaving shows there are still things they can’t let go of.”
Gu An said softly, he would not comment on such a so-called fair act of the Celestial Emperor, but if someone he cared about was in danger, he would certainly intervene.
He would never think from the perspective of the Celestial Emperor; he was a person first, and actions must satisfy his own attitude.
He had no burden in acting against those weaker than himself.
He sought to become strong, just for the ability to use strength to oppress the weak?
Though Gu An seemed to be sitting motionless on horseback, he had in fact dealt with five unwise great powers of the Heavenly Dao.
Life span tips emerged before him, but he remained indifferent.
Hongqian Ancestor turned to look at Gu An, wondering aloud, “Your disciple An Xin seems to have cultivated some powerful divine skill.”
He had once observed An Xin, and when their eyes met, he felt a momentary unease.
His cultivation level far surpassed An Xin, yet he felt such a sensation, which was proof of An Xin’s exceptional nature.
Since An Xin was Gu An’s beloved disciple, he felt it was normal, even anticipating An Xin’s future somewhat.
“Hmm, it’s indeed as you thought.”
Gu An responded, not elaborating. For Hongqian Ancestor, that answer was enough.
“I have started to look forward to the arrival of those saints in the Heavenly Dao.” Hongqian Ancestor stroked his beard and laughed, his hand never loosening the reins, and his steps never slowing.
Gu An’s form swayed with the movement of the horse, appearing like a powerless scholar.
Beside him, a flood dragon suddenly leaped out of the river and flew ahead, splashing water everywhere.
Hongqian Ancestor tilted his head to watch the flood dragon fly into the distance.
“There are grievances in the heavens and cause and effect in the Human World. With spiritual intelligence, conflicts seem impossible to cease.” Hongqian Ancestor sighed.
This was an insight he gained from the Primordial Saint Path.
The Celestial Emperor’s Holy Dao was the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao was the Human World. In the process of realizing the Primordial Saint Path, he saw the world and all living beings, saw the vast sea and events through time. ꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛʀs, ᴘʟᴀs ᴠsᴛ novel-fire.et
He suddenly realized the length of life doesn’t depend on time, but on the amount of cause and effect in the Red Dust.
Perhaps that’s the reason Gu An wanders in the Human World.
Viewing from above and experiencing firsthand create completely different mindsets.
“Perhaps, but for now, the urgent task is to head to the town at the end of the river; the roast chicken there smells delicious, I can already smell it.”
Gu An smiled, and Hongqian Ancestor did not find it absurd, just hastened his steps.
He never believed Gu An’s absurd words, but he also dared not question them, only able to cooperate with Gu An’s play.
…
Inside a dim palace, Zhang Buku sat meditating in cultivation while Xu You emerged from the darkness.
“Now rumors about the thirty-two Celestial Emperors are rampant; many factions are starting to operate, are you truly indifferent?”
Xu You asked, his tone carrying a sense of frustration.
Zhang Buku answered with his eyes closed, “We escaped from the Celestial Court, should we return? Moreover, what does the position of Celestial Emperor have to do with us? The Celestial Emperor did not invite us.”
He now only wanted to cultivate, and he hadn’t encountered a bottleneck, so he didn’t care about that so-called Primordial Saint Path.
Xu You spoke helplessly, “Can’t go just because there’s no invitation? Someone has already succeeded in possession and gained insight into the Primordial Saint Path, which is the Saint’s Way.”
To him, the current Celestial Emperor was a junior, so he always looked down on the Celestial Emperor, but as the rumors grew, he became tempted.
“Go if you want, but if you die out there, don’t blame me for not accompanying you in reincarnation.”
Hearing Zhang Buku’s response, Xu You rolled his eyes and grumbled, “In such a battle for fortune, dying might not even grant the chance for reincarnation.”
Zhang Buku opened his eyes, his gaze profound, staring at Xu You and saying, “I sense a tribulation, there will be drastic changes in the future, and not within the Heavenly Dao. We must seize the time to become stronger and delay no more.”
