Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses-Chapter 795 - 787: Profound Abyss Divine Pool

Gu An’s questioning of Shen Zhen was a reflection of his years of pondering. Besides increasing his mana and Dao practice, he felt there was an indescribable realm that required his contemplation.

Shen Zhen’s truthful response, however, left Gu An sensing a glimpse of the Great Dao within it.

He smiled and replied, "At the very least, I feel that everything now is real."

Shen Zhen heard this and also broke into a smile. Afterwards, Gu An began to talk about past events, touching on the bygone days, which evoked many emotions in Shen Zhen.

The setting sun lengthened their shadows.

In the years that followed, Gu An no longer trained in the mortal world. He decided that in the future, if he wanted to re-enter the red dust, he would assume his identity in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, cultivating like Yang Xian, growing with extraordinary talent and temperament.

These two reincarnated bodies were not the strongest, but their temperament and way of handling matters pleased Gu An the most, making him feel they lived with a unique flair.

...

Above the sea of clouds, a giant round fan was flying, with more than a dozen people sitting cross-legged on it.

Yang Ni sat at the back, watching the Wushiji disciples ahead who were chatting and laughing, feeling a mix of emotions.

Ancient memories resurfaced in her mind, filling her with deep sentiments.

Although she already knew that Gu An had become the greatest power in the world, seeing Gu An’s disciples and grand-disciples standing strong and becoming great cultivators she looked up to was a shocking experience.

It was hard for her to associate the once carefree flower- and grass-picking Gu An with the now all-powerful Ancestor Master Wushi.

Li Lingtian, sitting beside her, said excitedly, "The Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance has promised us a dojo. When I return and discuss it with my father, we will bring a group of Li Family disciples there to cultivate. As for you, Senior Yang, what are your plans?"

Yang Ni came to her senses and replied, "I plan to take a look Beyond Heaven."

Li Lingtian frowned and said, "Beyond Heaven is extremely perilous, it’s not worth taking risks just for opportunities."

He knew about the past between Yang Ni and Gu An and thought she was distressed. frёeωebɳovel.com

It was normal; even he was deeply moved, not to mention Yang Ni.

Gu An did not intervene personally, but his disciples and grand-disciples were grandly welcomed by the great cultivators of the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance. When they heard their requests, the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance immediately agreed to release Yang Ni without any re-examination. If not for An Zizai’s insistence on the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance to investigate, they would have been freed long ago.

During this time, Li Lingtian developed a certain respect for An Zizai. But whenever he thought about his own time in the Third Medicine Valley, when An Zizai had yet to be born, it made him feel awkward.

Nevertheless, he dared not shamelessly request to join Wushi. He had heard from Wushiji disciples that once you join Wushi, you couldn’t easily leave or even establish your own sect outside. Even the Sword Sect’s master, Chen Chuan, had relinquished his identity as a Wushiji disciple. Even if the Sword Sect faced enemy attacks, Wushi would not come to help.

An Zizai insisted the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance thoroughly investigate the truth, presumably to maintain Wushi’s reputation.

"I know it’s dangerous. Don’t worry, I won’t get into trouble. Wasn’t this confinement by the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance all because of your recklessness?"

Yang Ni glanced at Li Lingtian and said coldly.

Li Lingtian smiled awkwardly. He was in such a hurry to save Yang Ni because the matter had started due to him.

Thinking about it carefully, Yang Ni indeed handled matters prudently. Throughout the years, she always acted alone and never encountered any mishaps. Li Lingtian recalled his own experiences over these years and felt embarrassed, realizing he was in no position to advise others.

The two fell silent, their thoughts drifting away.

They couldn’t imagine Gu An’s realm and vision. This vast world was too expansive for them, filling them with both anticipation and trepidation for the future.

...

In the Underworld, beneath the dark celestial vault, a desolate land was shrouded in ghostly vapors, with a colossal ancient tree standing tall. This tree was entirely an eerie blue, with branches draped with vine-like tendrils resembling catkins, and glowing orbs rotating like stars around them.

This tree was the ancient Sacred Tree of the Underworld, known as the Profound Abyss Ancient Tree!

Two people were meditating under the tree—Gu An’s avatar and Hongya Zi from the Misty Immortal Court.

Hongya Zi opened his eyes and sighed, "As expected of the Profound Abyss Ancient Tree, its creation is limitless. Not only can one comprehend the Yin Yang Reincarnation here, but also the mysteries of creation. It is said that this tree once bore a fruit which cultivated and attained the Dao, befriending the Celestial Emperor’s reincarnation body, and they were known as the Two Great Saints of the Great Dao. Unfortunately, he rebelled against the Celestial Court and finally perished together with the Celestial Emperor’s reincarnation body."

Gu An opened his eyes and asked, "Is this story true? Where did you hear it from?"

"Of course, it’s true. It was brought back by the predecessors of the Misty Immortal Court from the Celestial Court. However, there are many such stories in the Celestial Court," Hongya Zi replied.

"The Celestial Emperor is the most powerful existence. To be known as the Two Great Saints of the Great Dao alongside his reincarnation body, his talent must have been terrifying. Unfortunately, since then, the Profound Abyss Ancient Tree has never borne the Profound Abyss Fruit again."

As he spoke, Hongya Zi raised his head, seemingly searching for the Profound Abyss Fruit on the tree.

Gu An didn’t expect the story of Gu Xuanyou to be known in the Celestial Court. He guessed it was at the Celestial Emperor’s behest; otherwise, how could it be circulated?

In his mind, the image of Taihao appeared.

Taihao’s temperament was bold and unrestrained, somewhat like An Hao, but his actions were more domineering and magnanimous. In Gu An’s memory, he always clung to Gu Xuanyou. After they became sworn brothers, the question of who was the elder brother was never settled.

However, during the last battle, Taihao seemed like a different person. Perhaps that was the Celestial Emperor, making Gu An feel unfamiliar and pressured.

The bond of the reincarnations had long been gone. Gu An wouldn’t think they were still sworn brothers. Taihao’s eyes before his death revealed madness.

The Celestial Emperor was definitely not cold by nature.

The two chatted while waiting for the distant visitor.

They were chatting because they both sensed an aura coming from afar, which should be from the Nine Yin Divine Mansion.

The Nine Yin Divine Mansion’s destiny was profound. The aura of its cultivators differed from that of ghost souls and ghost gods, making it easily identifiable.

Soon.

A white-haired man in a black robe, resembling a specter, swiftly approached and landed ten steps in front of them.

Gu An immediately recognized his origins.

This person was named Zhu Luocha, possessing cultivation at the Heaven Balancing Golden Immortal Realm, originally a soul of the snake demon.

Zhu Luocha looked at Gu An and Hongya Zi, raised his hand in salute, and said, "The Pavilion Master has something to discuss with you both."

Hongya Zi’s expression remained indifferent as he asked, "Which Pavilion Master?"

"The Second Pavilion Master, to discuss the matter of the Profound Abyss Divine Pool. The Profound Abyss Divine Pool is about to open, and you two must be waiting for this opportunity, so the Second Pavilion Master sent me to invite you," Zhu Luocha replied.

Hearing this, Hongya Zi’s eyes sparkled with joy. He exchanged a glance with Gu An, then stood up and said, "Lead the way."

Zhu Luocha immediately turned and began to lead the way, with Hongya Zi following closely behind.

Gu An lagged slightly, watching Hongya Zi’s back, he secretly sighed, "This is not an opportunity, but an abyss of destruction."
