Chapter 1092: Chapter 1083: Great Vast Saint Path
After wandering in Central Heaven for several years, Gu An let the Hongqian Ancestor and the Great Profound Yin Dominator rest in the mountains and fields for a few days, while he returned to the Wushi Realm.
After the lecture at the Palace of the Polestar ended, Xiao Lan returned to the Wushi Realm, wanting to chat with him. Not only her, An Xin also wanted to find Gu An.
The experiences at the Palace of the Polestar left them with many confusions and curiosities, and they needed Gu An to clarify things.
After returning to the Wushi Realm, Gu An directly called both women to his courtyard. Seeing Gu An, both women’s spirits were high, and they immediately began recounting the events within the Palace of the Polestar.
Gu An lay on a chair, listening to their narration. Although only two people were speaking, they made the courtyard lively.
Since coming to the Wushi Realm, Shen Zhen moved out. After all, Gu An was mostly not in the Wushi Realm, so it was pointless for her to stay here.
As time passed, the second-generation disciples were successively attracted by the voices of An Xin and Xiao Lan, because they could deduce from their words that their master had returned.
Although they still belonged to Wushi, they could feel the increasing distance between themselves and their master, meeting only once in a million years. Now that their master finally returned, they naturally wanted to pay their respects.
After greeting each arriving disciple, Gu An had them sit down and listen to Xiao Lan and An Xin speak.
An Xin’s journey to the Celestial Court to listen to lectures wasn’t a secret. The other disciples weren’t initially curious, because in their view, the Celestial Emperor didn’t match Gu An, and the opportunities at the Celestial Court couldn’t compare to Wushi.
But when talk of the Saint battle arose, their interest was piqued.
Saint—these two words have recently been as resounding as thunder in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, being talked about everywhere.
It’s said that the Saint is the end of cultivation, and after becoming a Saint, one will transcend the Great Dao, transcend everything, and become an ultimate sovereign. Even between Saints, neither can kill the other.
The Saint represents true eternal indestructibility, and such power naturally attracts all living beings.
An Xin and Xiao Lan described the true form of the Celestial Emperor and the image of the Saint Venerable of Punishment again, astonishing the second-generation disciples. Gu An waved his sleeve, letting them experience the Saint’s Dharma Form firsthand, which left all the arriving second-generation disciples shocked.
“My heavens, is this real?”
“So tall…”
“Is this a Saint? It feels like Central Heaven can’t contain them.”
“Who is the Celestial Emperor?”
“What’s that evil thing on the Saint Venerable of Punishment’s abdomen?”
The second-generation disciples discussed, marveling at the Saint’s presence.
When their consciousness returned to reality, their curiosity was fully ignited, and they began to question Xiao Lan and An Xin.
Gu An lay on the chair, smiling, letting the disciples discuss first.
The Celestial Demon Child came to Gu An’s side and curiously asked, “Master, have you also reached the Saint Realm?”
As soon as this was said, all the disciples turned to look.
The Blood Prison Great Saint said irritably, “Nonsense, the master must be a Saint. Otherwise, would the Celestial Court allow us? The creation of the Wushi Realm, even the Heavenly Realm cannot compare!”
The other disciples echoed, all believing in Gu An’s strength, yet while speaking, they kept observing Gu An’s expression, including the Blood Prison Great Saint.
They would only feel at ease if Gu An admitted it himself.
Facing the gaze of all the disciples, Gu An smiled and nodded, completely igniting the disciples’ emotions. They began to voice their feelings excitedly, and someone even claimed to have foreseen it long ago.
Gu An did not expose them. Seeing them so joyful, his own mood was lifted as well.
After chatting for a while, Gu An finally said, “From now on, you all must diligently cultivate. With the Celestial Emperor becoming a Saint and granting the chance of a Saint, the Heavenly Dao will eventually enter the Era of Saints. By then, the Heavenly Dao will become more complex, appearing peaceful, yet in reality more perilous than before.”
The disciples nodded; however, they couldn’t understand Gu An’s words, thinking only that the cultivation realm was being elevated.
Gu An didn’t elaborate, as many things must be personally experienced to be understood.
“Master, the Celestial Emperor lectures on the Holy Dao, otherwise, why don’t you also lecture on the Holy Dao for the Wushi Realm?” The Blood Prison Great Saint raised an eyebrow, flattering.
Upon hearing this, the other disciples’ eyes lit up. They all have their own disciples and grandchildren, just as Gu An cares for them, they too have people they care for, hoping to share blessings with those they care about.
Gu An hesitated for a moment and said, “Alright, a thousand years from now, I will lecture on the Holy Dao of Wushi. Tell the disciples outside to return and listen.”
The disciples immediately cheered and thanked Gu An profusely.
After some time of excitement, they gradually left to summon the disciples. The source of this content ɪs novel•fire.net
Only Gu An and Xiao Lan remained in the courtyard. Xiao Lan looked at Gu An and said, “I saw Miss Ji at the Palace of the Polestar. She seemed a bit upset.”
Not becoming one of the thirty-two Celestial Emperors dealt a heavy blow to Ji Xiaoyu. Her face was quite sullen when she left the Palace of the Polestar.
Gu An looked Xiao Lan over, half-smiling, and asked, “Why weren’t you affected at all?”
“I’m different from her. She used to be a favored child of heaven, but I’ve never been the most outstanding person anywhere. I’ve always been content with each of my steps,” Xiao Lan shook her head as she spoke. These were her genuine feelings; merely entering the Palace of the Polestar was enough to make her feel flattered and shocked.
Gu An shook his head and said, “So you don’t have to worry about her. Precisely because her sense of self-respect is stronger, she can go further than you.”
Xiao Lan raised her eyebrows and asked, “Can she catch up with you?”
Gu An did not answer, beginning instead to tidy his sleeves.
“You see, since she can’t surpass you anyway, why insist?” Xiao Lan said earnestly.
Gu An countered, “If that’s so, why do you roam the Human World, spreading Daoist Techniques, what for? Isn’t it for a hope, to find your own path among all living beings?”
Xiao Lan also had a heart set on strength, just her obsession wasn’t as strong. She wanted to be the strongest but wouldn’t drive herself for it.
Upon hearing these words, Xiao Lan seemed to remember something and asked, “Right, while traveling the Human World, I’ve encountered many Daoist Lineages. But there was one with the word ’Saint’ in it too. Could it also be an arrangement by the Saints?”
“Tell me about it.”
“That lineage is called the Great Vast Saint Path, claiming that belief in vastness can transcend the Great Dao. It’s quite mysterious, and the beings cultivating this path view dying as a form of Nirvana. They long for death, living simply to prepare for it.”
“That does sound pretty mysterious. Stay away from them, don’t fall under their spell.”
Gu An said with a chuckle. Xiao Lan lingers in the Red Dust, bound to be entangled with the cause and effect of the Holy Dao in the future, unending troubles, but he did not warn her, knowing that even when encountering trouble, he would intervene.
If any Saint accidentally schemes against his junior sister, then they can only consider themselves unlucky!
“Of course, I won’t fall for it. I only believe in the Holy Dao of Wushi!”
Xiao Lan huffed, her eyes turning as she hesitated to speak.
Gu An glanced sideways at her and said, “Go ahead and choose, you can give the Xiao Family one hundred slots.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lan beamed and immediately lunged at Gu An, nearly knocking him to the ground.
