Chapter 602: Chapter 595 I Really Thought You Were Him
“`html
Gu An discovered traces of Wu Dao Xian in this Demon City.
Wu Dao Xian was the master of the Black Profound Emperor, and he incited the Black Profound Emperor to slay his Reincarnation Body. He, like the Black Profound Emperor, had died at the hands of the Celestial Spirit God, yet he had not truly fallen.
Wu Dao Xian tutored the Black Profound Emperor in the Daoist Unique Venerate Skill. This cultivation technique was extremely exquisite, and Gu An had imparted it to Jiang Shi and An Shengtian. With this skill, they were able to strive towards the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit.
It was worth mentioning that Zhu Xi also learned the Daoist Unique Venerate Skill from the Immortal Seeker, suggesting that there was some connection between the Immortal Seeker and Wu Dao Xian.
Of course, there was also the possibility that this cultivation technique was related to the Celestial Court.
Currently, Zhu Xi was roaming other Great Thousand Worlds, the Immortal Seeker was nowhere to be seen, and yet Wu Dao Xian surfaced first.

He could feel that this Wu Dao Xian was not the true self; his true self was hidden within a secret space on the Path of the Great Dao. The specifics of the location could only be explored after contacting his avatar.
Wu Dao Xian proclaimed that an Immortal God would be born here, which piqued Gu An’s interest in him even further.
*Could it be that he anticipated the revival of the Celestial Spirit God here?*
*If that were the case, it would certainly be intriguing.*
Gu An was not afraid of Wu Dao Xian causing trouble. Wu Dao Xian was not tolerated by the Celestial Court and had to hide everywhere, so it was unlikely he would collude with the Celestial Court.
As for what sort of backing Wu Dao Xian had, Gu An was also quite interested.
Bai Sheng did not mind Gu An’s proposal. He walked ahead first, indifferent to the person Gu An wanted to meet, as his mind was solely on Su Jin.
Shen Zhen and Gu An followed behind him. Shen Zhen used the Sound Transmission Technique to ask, “He’s so absent-minded, could he be willing to give up Su Jin?”
“We’ll know the answer today.”
Gu An replied using the Sound Transmission Technique.
*He looked at Bai Sheng’s back and felt deeply moved.*
*It wasn’t Bai Sheng and Su Jin’s relationship that moved him, but his brotherhood with Bai Sheng.*
*He somewhat missed the days of exploring mountains and waters and drinking joyously with Bai Sheng. Bai Sheng did not know he was the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable, treated him with less reverence, and had no ulterior motives. They had a sense of kindred spirits.*
*Sadly, times change, and Bai Sheng had lost his carefree nature and had long forgotten him.*
*Over thirty thousand years had passed; now the only one he could chat freely with was Shen Zhen. Perhaps the loss of such companionship was the price of power.*
As Gu An was sighing over the changes brought by time, the Demon City grew increasingly lively.
A strong wind swept through, startling the demons and cultivators on the streets as they looked up, only to see a large fish with black wings flying over the city walls and heading towards the distance. Its wingspan spanned thousands of feet, blocking out the sky and plunging the street where Gu An and his companions stood into darkness.
Bai Sheng, having seen much, was not surprised.
But if he knew that there was a pavilion on the fish’s back, with someone inside not weaker than the Demon Emperor, he would surely be shocked.
The Demon Emperor of this city was named the Great Liang Demon Emperor. Although he was a Divine Thought True Immortal in cultivation, he possessed clues to a Heaven and Earth Ultimate Treasure, which was why all the great powers came to celebrate.
Heaven and Earth Ultimate Treasure was the Immortal Cultivation Realm’s term for the most powerful Magical Treasures. These treasures were rich with destiny, even capable of creating a world, harboring the power of heaven and earth.
These Heaven and Earth Ultimate Treasures also originated from the Battle Court. Those who crafted them were all Golden Immortals, thus they contained world power.
Gu An did not harbor ill feelings towards the Great Liang Demon Emperor. Although this guy kidnapped Su Jin, he treated her politely and promised to only win her heart before taking her. The reason for holding the grand wedding in advance was because that Heaven and Earth Ultimate Treasure was about to be born.
It was worth noting that people from the Dao Court also came to congratulate the Great Liang Demon Emperor.
Different realms had different circles. The Great Liang Demon Emperor could at most invite those in the Zi Zai Immortal Realm. Such beings were rare great powers in the world and were considered ancient myths to mortal spirits.
Bai Sheng, though wandering aimlessly, was being subtly guided towards Wu Dao Xian under the influence of Gu An’s Dao Intent.
As time went by, more and more powerful beings arrived, with steeds even grander than the previous black-winged fish, bringing glory to the city’s demons.
They did not know just how strong those powers were; they only felt the commanding presence of the Great Liang Demon Emperor.
An hour quickly passed.
Unknowingly, Bai Sheng arrived in front of a giant stele, located at a crossroads on the street, towering a hundred feet high and surrounded by hundreds of beings.
Wu Dao Xian was also here!
In this lifetime, Wu Dao Xian wore a blue Daoist robe, his hair completely white, and held a horsetail whisk in his hand, exuding an immortal-like aura. He held the whisk in one hand and stroked his beard with the other, seemingly deep in thought.
Gu An walked directly towards him, brushing past Bai Sheng.
Following close behind, Shen Zhen’s steps made Bai Sheng subconsciously follow suit.
“This stele seems to contain some profound meaning.”
Gu An approached Wu Dao Xian and spoke softly.
Wu Dao Xian glanced at him, initially dismissive, but upon seeing him, Wu Dao Xian’s expression suddenly changed.
Wu Dao Xian scrutinized Gu An, asking, “What? Did you see something?”
To him, Gu An appeared to be merely a Celestial and Earthly Immortal, but Gu An’s features seemed familiar.
*Why did he resemble that rebellious disciple of mine from before?*
Gu An looked at Shen Zhen and asked with a smile, “Did you see anything?”
Upon hearing the question, Shen Zhen began to seriously examine the hundred-foot-tall stele in front.
Wu Dao Xian kept his gaze on Gu An, his eyes sharp, seemingly wanting to see through him.
Bai Sheng stood at the back, inspecting Wu Dao Xian. He had seen many Daoists like Wu Dao Xian before, but he could feel that Wu Dao Xian had a certain hostility towards Gu An.
“I see a giant red tortoise. This stele is a piece of its shell.”
Shen Zhen suddenly spoke, causing Wu Dao Xian to shift his gaze to her, eyes filled with surprise.
*This woman can actually see through it?*
Shen Zhen continued to observe intently. She frowned and said, “The red tortoise is still alive, seeking to find this fragment of its shell.”
Wu Dao Xian became interested in her and asked with a smile, “This young lady is remarkable, seeing the cause and effect from Outer Heaven. May I ask whose tutelage you are under?”
Shen Zhen snapped back to reality and did not answer Wu Dao Xian. Instead, she looked towards Gu An, giving an answer with her eyes.
Wu Dao Xian turned his attention back to Gu An and sighed, “Young brother, you bear a strong resemblance to a certain disciple of mine. Were it not for seeing with my own eyes his soul scattered, I might have thought you were him.”
His eyes showed a trace of nostalgia, as if reminiscing about that disciple.
Bai Sheng, hearing this, breathed a silent sigh of relief; it didn’t sound like a vendetta.
Although unsure of how strong Gu An was, he sensed that Wu Dao Xian’s Dao Practice was unfathomable. Such a man was not to be provoked.
Gu An nodded and said, “You also resemble a master of mine. Were it not for seeing with my own eyes his beheading, I might have thought you were him.”
With these words, Wu Dao Xian’s pupils shrank suddenly. Almost instantly, he lifted his right hand.
Shen Zhen and Bai Sheng were unable to react in time.
However, Gu An’s movement was quicker.
Slap!
Gu An’s right hand landed on Wu Dao Xian’s shoulder, and with this pat, his mana dissipated instantly, his eyes widening.
