Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses-Chapter 799 - 791: Persistence
Chapter 799 -791: Persistence
Gu An didn’t make a move immediately, but continued watching Li Xuanmiao battle the evil demon, although Li Xuanmiao was not a match, this fight could temper him.
After watching for a while, he shifted his gaze to Li Ya.
Although he would tease Li Ya about always getting beaten when they met, in reality, he greatly admired Li Ya.
His nurturing of Li Ya was far less than that of his disciples, yet Li Ya’s growth, despite being full of hardships, saw an undoubtedly fast increase in his cultivation level. Among his peers, how many could compare?
Li Ya’s fate was constantly changing, even without Gu An’s interference, he could change his destiny through opportunities. Once, his fate was to become the number one Great Cultivator in the world, but now, his fate was no longer confined to the Celestial Spirit Great World.
This perilous encounter also altered Li Ya’s destiny.
Li Ya surprisingly had a cause-and-effect destiny line for ascending to immortality.
After this battle, ascending to immortality would become his obsession. Once Li Ya had an obsession, he would exert all his strength to achieve his goal. It was precisely this personality that had supported him to this day.
In some sense, Li Ya resembled the protagonist in novels from his past life on Earth. In his spare time, Gu An would often focus on him, as if following a thrilling drama series.
Until dusk fell, the battle between Li Xuanmiao and the evil demon had not yet concluded, and they had fallen into a great river of the Great Dao, fortuitously the River of Destiny.
Lu Qiuxian, although still in the River of Destiny, was already able to detach from it. He was obtaining enlightenment deep within, seemingly creating a great divine power about the Path of Destiny.
Li Xuanmiao’s battle had been noticed by Lu Qiuxian, yet he was unconcerned. He also knew that the Immortal Gods were immortal and unextinguishable, and he did not wish to get involved in the matters of the Celestial Court.
Gu An stood up, stretching his waist in the courtyard. Recently, he rarely stayed in that patch of bamboo forest, deciding to relax for a period, no longer straining his mind on that mysterious state of mind.
If you can’t figure it out, why not let it go for now?
Gu An also wanted to be as persistent as Li Ya, but if he couldn’t achieve it, he could only give up.
If all else fails, it’s still not beyond cheating!
He would never give up on the ability to evolve life span.
He always thought he wasn’t a genius, and that getting to this day was solely due to his life span evolution ability. Even though he had become powerful, he would not deny this fact, nor fakely intend to give up this ability.
The reason he would seek enlightenment on his own was to find something to do during the years of storing life span.
He could take shortcuts to become strong, but he couldn’t afford not to understand his power after becoming strong.
Gu An casually chatted a bit with Shen Zhen in front of the Artifact Refining Cauldron, then returned to the house alone.
As the moon set and the sun rose, a new day came. Gu An walked out of the house, holding a flute, heading out of the courtyard.
The dojo was filled with rolling mountains, the green hills and waters grand and picturesque. The floating spirit mist made the world seem more like an immortal realm. Although Gu An was already used to the scenery in the dojo, every time he stepped out of the courtyard, he felt a sense of contentment.
The many worlds he could see, but what truly belonged to him was the little world within the dojo, where everything brought him satisfaction.
He stepped into the forest, enjoying the morning breeze brushing against his face. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
The flowers and plants by the roadside were vibrant, with a faint hint of spirited beings passing by. Those were spiritual objects formed by the condensation of Dao Intent, possessing a degree of spiritual intelligence, but unable to contact living spirits, let alone communicate, merely existing in the same dojo but not in the same space.
Along the way, Gu An reached the cliff halfway up the mountain. Looking far ahead, he saw a dozen disciples practicing swordplay by a small river between the mountains some ten miles away, guided by a fifth-generation disciple.
Such scenes were present in several places within the dojo. Wushi had already formed its Daoist Lineage, with complete regulations and order, requiring no effort from Gu An.
Having developed to the present, Wushi was no longer just a dojo belonging to Gu An alone, but also an embodiment of the disciples’ efforts. Over the long years, the second-generation disciples, when traveling outside, had established a very positive image for Wushi, earning it the reputation of a human world Immortal Cultivation Holy Land.
Every year, people would come to the edge of the Nine Spirit Continent seeking to join Wushi to cultivate immortality, but even entering Wushi was difficult, let alone becoming a citizen of the Nine Spirit Dynasty.
Gu An raised the flute in his hand and spun it with one hand, his gaze already falling on Li Xuanmiao.
Li Xuanmiao was beginning to fall into a disadvantage!
Within the vast River of Destiny, the mysterious evil demon was entangled entirely with black chains formed by the Path of Cause and Effect, wielding the long spear to attack Li Xuanmiao. His offensive continued to intensify, forcing Li Xuanmiao to retreat step by step.
Li Xuanmiao, hair disheveled, his armor on the verge of breaking, seemed quite in distress, as if heading towards a dead end.
Li Xuanmiao furrowed his brows tightly, as the demonic creatures spewing from the mysterious evil demon’s mouth were devouring his mana, and now the black chains around the mysterious evil demon were shattering his mana each time they struck.
He had exerted every means he possessed, repeatedly deploying all the divine skills and secret techniques at his disposal. The best scenario he managed was to shatter the mysterious evil demon’s physical body, yet within a very short time, it would regroup again, leaving him feeling powerless.
“Could I be defeated?”
Li Xuanmiao thought with unwillingness in his heart. Being an Immortal God, even in death, he could resurrect in the Celestial Court. Still, he was unwilling for his first battle as an Immortal God to end in failure.
Hundreds of cultivators trapped in the palm of the mysterious evil demon once again fell into despair.
“His speed is getting slower. I can barely make out some of his moves…”
“If even the Celestial Immortal Monarch can’t deal with this demon, then we’re really doomed.”
“Rumor has it that the Celestial Court is the gathering place for Immortal Gods. Surely they wouldn’t dispatch only one Immortal God, right?”
“Do you know what an Immortal Monarch represents? Currently, all the Immortal Gods campaigning across the Three Thousand Great Worlds are of a lower immortal position tier than him.”
“Damn it, to think I’d die at the hands of an unknown evil demon without even a name. How frustrating.”
The cultivators were discussing among themselves, with many remaining silent, their eyes filled with fear.
More than death, they feared enduring tortures worse than death.
This demon was so powerful, yet it did not kill them, instead taking them somewhere, clearly not allowing them an easy death.
Li Ya had long since come out from his complicated emotions, now filled only with concern, fearing Li Xuanmiao might encounter misfortune.
He didn’t believe such a coincidental occurrence. With his cultivation level, he could already perceive the cause and effect between people. Being an Immortal Monarch, Li Xuanmiao was naturally capable of the same.
He felt Li Xuanmiao had come specifically to save him, even though they were not well-acquainted, but after all, they were of the same lineage.
“Don’t be stupid, finally reaching immortality, there’s no need to fight to the death for us…”
Li Ya muttered softly, hoping Li Xuanmiao could hear.
At that moment, the mysterious evil demon roared angrily, the chains around its body quickly intertwining, unexpectedly revealing a black coffin.
As soon as the black coffin appeared, the surrounding Great Dao’s air currents surged towards it, and even Li Xuanmiao felt a horrible pulling force.
Li Xuanmiao, looking at the black coffin larger than the mysterious evil demon itself, was filled with intense unease.
The existence within this coffin was undoubtedly very dangerous!
