Chapter 1087: Chapter 1078: Forever, Heartless

The Celestial Court, Heavenly Prison.

In a dimly lit cell, Gu An sat in meditation. Within the heavenly prison, he could not cultivate through Qi Absorption, but he would repeatedly reflect on his past cultivation experiences to attain Enlightenment.

Boom—

A loud noise came from outside the prison door, and the walls trembled along with it.

Gu An opened his eyes, and his murky gaze quickly turned clear. A look of doubt appeared in his eyes.

He had been in the heavenly prison for so many years, yet this was the first time encountering such commotion.

How could the heavenly prison, so stable, experience such vibrations?

Could someone be forcing their way in?

Regarding the heavenly prison, Gu An had heard many legends.

Since ancient times, aside from Chaos Creatures, all demons and ghosts who forcefully invaded the Celestial Court aimed for the heavenly prison because those they cared about were held here. Yet, in the end, they would also be thrown into the heavenly prison.

The heavenly prison was deep, so much so that even Immortal Gods were unsure how many layers lay below; the higher the cultivation level, the deeper they were confined.

Gu An was not joyful at the thought of a jailbreak; after all, he hadn’t committed an unforgivable crime and still had a chance of getting out.

If one truly escaped, the days ahead would be miserable, facing endless pursuit from the Celestial Court.

With these thoughts in mind, Gu An started waiting to see what would happen next.

Outside the prison door was pitch black, not a guard’s shadow in sight, nor any other prisoners visible, yet Gu An could sense that the prisoners were already beginning to stir as their auras fluctuated.

After a while, torrents of flames surged through the dim hallway of the heavenly prison, illuminating the cells on both sides, as a figure stepped out from the fire.

“All who believe in the Luoxu Saint Dao can gain a glimmer of survival. Show your devout attitude to me, for once I pass your cell door, you will no longer have the opportunity.”

A hoarse voice emerged from the sea of fire, and that figure moved forward, opening some cell doors along the way.

Gu An frowned as he looked on, seeing the released prisoners kneeling before their cell doors, muttering something.

He could tell what the prisoners were chanting.

The Luoxu Scripture!

When he previously accepted the Luoxu Saint Dao, he had inherited the Luoxu Scripture and memorized it thoroughly.

His brow furrowed deeply, and he felt a bit shaken inside.

He couldn’t discern whether the Luoxu Saint Dao genuinely wished to save them or if there was another plot.

The reason he accepted the Luoxu Saint Dao was to become stronger, yet he found himself sinking deeper and deeper.

Seeing so many prisoners affiliated with the Luoxu Saint Dao shocked him; clearly, these Immortal Gods had all previously claimed they were wronged.

Oh, he, too, had claimed he was wronged earlier.

Seeing so many Immortal God prisoners defect to the Luoxu Saint Dao, Gu An realized the seriousness of the issue.

This many Immortal Gods defecting could undoubtedly shake the foundations of the Celestial Court.

What exactly does the Luoxu Saint Venerable desire?

Reflecting on the power he had received, Gu An couldn’t help but feel uneasy, worried that the power he was cultivating might not belong to him.

Just as he was filled with doubt, the fiery figure had already reached his cell door.

At this moment, Gu An suddenly thought of Wu Jue.

Wu Jue was still a Heavenly Official in the Celestial Court, and everything he had belonged to the Heavenly Dao; how could he betray the Celestial Court and the Heavenly Dao?

He couldn’t pursue strength at all costs.

With this thought, Gu An’s eyes grew resolute, and his posture straightened.

The figure passing by the cell door was enveloped in a mysterious black aura. When it walked past Gu An, a chill surged from within his heart.

His intuition told him this person was incredibly dangerous.

Fortunately, this person did not force him to bow. After passing his cell door, his discomfort vanished.

Gu An breathed a sigh of relief, still sitting in meditation, not rising.

No matter how chaotic the heavenly prison got, he wouldn’t waver.

“Impudence!”

A thunderous shout echoed, followed by a gust of wind outside the cell door. Gu An saw a flash of silver light pass by.

He recognized this voice, for this god ranked among the top three in the guardian gods of the heavenly prison, with immeasurable power.

Thinking of that mighty figure, he felt slightly at ease, waiting for the outcome.

The heavenly prison trembled more violently, even causing gravel to fall from above Gu An, tightening his nerves once again.

Hope he won’t get caught in the crossfire?

…

Outside the Palace of the Polestar, a figure descended from the sky—a man with an exquisite and grand robe, his sturdy and tall body stretching the green robe. His face was solemn, his long hair tied up, and his crown resembled an eagle reflecting a purple glow.

He was the Celestial Dao Venerable, the Great Sun Realm Venerable Lord.

He gazed at the Palace of the Polestar, his eyes flickering with unknown thoughts.

Behind him, the celestial vault revealed many crimson cloud phenomena, carrying a sense of the poignant beauty of a sunset at dusk.

By this moment, the Celestial Court was already in chaos.

A figure followed him down, none other than the Heavenly Marshal.

The Heavenly Marshal’s Celestial Dao Destiny was thriving, and just standing there, he exuded an aura of oppression, no less than any ancient Celestial Dao Venerable.

“I wonder why the Venerable has come to the Palace of the Polestar at such a critical moment?”

The Heavenly Marshal asked, his tone indifferent.

The Great Sun Realm Venerable Lord glanced at him and said, “Heavenly Marshal, even now, do you still harbor illusions about the Heavenly Dao?”

The Heavenly Marshal asked with an unchanged expression, “Why? Is the Venerable dissatisfied with the current Heavenly Dao?”

The Great Sun Realm Venerable Lord sighed deeply, “The Heavenly Dao has been in Reincarnation from ancient times to now. Although seemingly stable, don’t you find it a repetition of some form of torment?”

“Eventually, the mighty perish, the weak suffer, thrown into Reincarnation with remorse. The so-called recompense for good and evil, in hindsight, everything is meaningless. This Celestial Court doesn’t have eternal Immortals; only the will of Cangtian is ever-present, unfeeling forever. What a poignant phenomenon.”

At this point, the Great Sun Realm Venerable Lord displayed a deeply sorrowful expression. The rightful source is ɴovelfire.net

The Heavenly Marshal, however, mocked, “What? Do you seek some change? Does your new master let you see the hope you desire?”

The Great Sun Realm Venerable Lord replied, “Indeed, the Celestial Emperor has achieved the Primordial Saint Path, but the existence behind me has long stepped into the Holy Dao. The Celestial Emperor didn’t let the Venerable hear the Dao, which in itself reveals his mindset. By following him, the future is now. Do you intend to stop here?”

The Heavenly Marshal raised his hand, summoning a Divine Spear. Coldly, he said, “Have you considered, if the existence behind you is so powerful, why scheme against the Heavenly Dao, and why not act openly? You’re a Venerable; you should know the fate of the invaded once they fall.”

The Great Sun Realm Venerable Lord shook his head, looking at the Heavenly Marshal with a pitiful gaze, “You’re a frog in a well, unaware of the perilous world beyond. If you don’t seize this opportunity, we all will face endless calamities.”

With these words, the Great Sun Realm Venerable Lord suddenly raised his hand, causing boundless black flames to rise behind him, towering higher than the Palace of the Polestar, threatening to engulf the Heavenly Marshal.

The Heavenly Marshal instantly plunged into darkness, but his gaze remained bright and sharp, appearing capable of piercing through all treachery.
