Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses-Chapter 1027 - 1019: Creation and Variables
Transcend all living beings?
Upon hearing this, An Xin squinted her eyes.
She wasnβt afraid of the power of that entity, but instead wondered if her master had also transcended all living beings. π§πβ―β―π€β―π£πβ΄πππ.ππ°π
If even such a powerful existence is disregarded by her master, itβs hard to imagine what realm her master truly belongs to.
Gu An, hearing An Xinβs inner thoughts, was speechless; what kind of thought process does this girl have? Is now the time to be concerned about the masterβs cultivation level?
You must be tense!
Get tense!
"This existence, devouring the Great Dao, is truly an eternally indestructible power far beyond your imagination,"
Gu An spoke again, making An Xin nod in understanding.
She then mused, "The Great Dao is boundless; such a powerful being must devour in secret. I wonder whom he fears, or perhaps heβs in a world beyond our imagination. Iβm truly curious about such a world."
Her gaze towards Gu An became intense, filled with longing.
Gu An rolled his eyes once more; he understood that he couldnβt scare this student.
Oh well, who spoiled her to have such a personality?
"Donβt look at me like that. Iβll take you next time, okay?" Gu An finally relented, making An Xin smile brightly and thank him.
...
In the void, teeming with boundless flames, ten thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals continuously assaulted endless evil demons, as if trying to tear apart a black ocean.
Lu Lingjun and the White Spirit Demon Emperor were among the Celestial Army, with the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals rotating positions. They had just moved from the edge inward, panting.
"Why hasnβt Gu An arrived yet?"
said the White Spirit Demon Emperor, listlessly. During the previous battle, Gu An had appeared over ten times, and nothing felt amiss while fighting together, but his absence left it suffocating.
Continuing to fight this way, it felt it could be annihilated at any moment as the evil demons grew stronger.
Lu Lingjun was about to respond when a familiar voice came:
"What? Miss me so much?"
Lu Lingjun instinctively turned to see, a smile blooming on her face.
There stood Gu An, clad in silver armor, behind them. Not only that, but An Xin also stood beside him, dressed in the armor of a Celestial God.
Their arrival went unnoticed by other Immortal Gods, only Lu Lingjun and the White Spirit Demon Emperor saw them.
Lu Lingjun and the White Spirit Demon Emperor werenβt surprised; they had already met An Xin at the Supreme Sect, and it wasnβt the first time Gu An had brought An Xin to the battle.
The White Spirit Demon Emperor was astonished yet speechless by Gu An continuously bringing disciples to train without being detected by the Celestial Gods.
It couldnβt comment on Gu Anβs behavior.
"What do you think of this battle?" Lu Lingjun asked.
Gu An, holding a long spear, said, "Do your best, and listen to the Celestial Mandate."
Lu Lingjun rolled her eyes, unable to respond to such words.
Before they could talk further, the surrounding Heavenly Soldiers and Generals began to move, and they followed suit to change formation.
An Xin opened the Immortal Emperorβs Eye, freely using it with Gu Anβs assistance, without being detected by other beings.
Knowing about an extremely terrifying existence devouring the Great Dao, An Xin seemed calm on the surface but felt urgency inside.
No matter how much she trusted her master, only by being powerful herself could she be truly fearless.
In this battle, she aimed to refine her Immortal Emperorβs Eye well!
...
Since Gu An assigned missions to the second-generation disciples, the Mountain of No End had become much quieter; disciples no longer disturbed him, even Shen Zhen returned to his cave mansion to cultivate.
Alone, Gu An didnβt feel awkward; after prolonged hustle, enjoying solitude was quite pleasant.
On this midday, he hid in the courtyard by himself, molding clay with both hands.
He was shaping living beings, exploring the Path of Creation.
The creatures he molded, heβd cast into the Human World, neither destroying them nor keeping them.
He used no special water or earth, just casually grabbed some from the courtyard.
He molded not only humans but other types too, throwing them into the Great Dao River once formed, scattering these clay creatures randomly across different worlds.
After molding dozens of Earth Spirits, Gu An stopped, sitting still, his gaze transcending time.
He sent some Earth Spirits to the past chaos, wanting to observe the effects.
He didnβt send them to the past of the Heavenly Dao, fearing it might affect those he knew, increasing retribution from the Great Dao.
At his cultivation level, heβs not afraid of the Great Daoβs backlash, but his old friends are different. Changes in fate could easily cause cause-and-effect rejections by the Great Dao.
The destinies of these Earth Spirits unfolded before him, allowing him to gain insights into the Great Dao.
The Earth Spirits created by a Saint do not lack potential, being infused with Gu Anβs Dao Intent, even casually, it was a significant creation.
Now, Gu An could even create another Heavenly Dao; whether it could reach the current Heavenly Daoβs mysteries, heβs unsure since the extinguished Hongmeng was still beyond complete perception.
The Earth Spirits achieved various accomplishments; some even surpassed the Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal, reaching higher Xuan Qi Primordial Immortal levels.
The higher the cultivation level, the greater the karma retribution. As the Great Daoβs karma entangled Gu An, he casually brushed it off his shoulder, dispelling it.
Even if he were to return to the past and destroy the Heavenly Dao, Gu An wouldnβt be affected. However, such an act would have no benefit to him.
If he destroyed the Heavenly Dao, Hongmeng would reform, with the Nine Great Dao serving as a catalyst.
Gu An immersed himself in creation and variables, gradually losing track of time.
Not until the Ghost Mother of Ephemera came to call on him did he awaken.
By then, it was autumn, and fallen leaves covered the courtyard.
The Ghost Mother of Ephemera stood before Gu An, curiously watching him.
Before Gu An came to his senses, a kind of aroma, very alluring to the Ghost Mother of Ephemera, emanated from him, which made her want to approach. The closer she got, the faster her Dao Fruit circulated, with some mysterious changes, as if her cultivation level was rising.
Standing in front of Gu An for a while, she felt her cultivation had surpassed a millenniumβs accumulation. Were it not for valuing Gu Anβs herb-picking matters highly, she might have gotten lost in it.
Gu An raised his eyes to the Ghost Mother of Ephemera, smiling as he rose slowly, then walked towards the courtyard, with the Ghost Mother following behind.
As they walked into the mountain forest, Gu An admired the autumn scenery while asking, "Ghost Mother, after all these years of cultivation, what is your goal? What do you most wish for in life?"
The Ghost Mother of Ephemera wasnβt surprised since Gu An frequently asked her suddenly; she didnβt ponder, directly responding, "I seem to have no desires now, but gain a great sense of achievement from changes within the dojo. What I want seems always changing; the only certainty is that being by your side gives everything meaning."
Gu An wasnβt satisfied with this answer, prompting further, "Are you curious about the size of the chaos or the scenes beyond it?"
