Chapter 922: Chapter 914: Mysterious Curse

How many years has the Heavenly Dao existed?

It can no longer be measured by time, yet even so, Gu An remains vigilant against unknown cause and effect.

Although the Celestial Emperor does not greatly revere the existence of this eye, beings that lived before the Heavenly Dao are unimaginable entities, coexisting with the Great Dao.

“I refuse to believe it, I will see how Hongmeng retaliates against me.”

The Celestial Emperor snorted coldly, his tone filled with disdain.

“If I can exterminate the Lord of Hongmeng, I can annihilate the cause and effect of Hongmeng!”

After speaking, the Celestial Emperor turned around and stepped forward, while the eye within the solar star fixed its gaze firmly on him.

Gu An gazed steadily at this eye, sensing a strange power from it.

The owner of this eye seemed to be cursed.

The root of anything is the Great Dao, and curses also originate from the Great Dao, they can be observed.

The curse power entwining this eye is more profound and unfathomable than any curse Gu An has encountered before, merely sensing this curse power made Gu An feel that the owner of this eye was suffering greatly.

Perhaps he existed within the solar star because he was cursed.

As the Celestial Emperor departed, the scene suddenly changed, the Celestial Emperor appeared above the vast bright light of the Heavenly Dao, his aura had already changed, seven-tenths similar to the Celestial Emperor Gu An observed before.

Now it was the early creation period of the Heavenly Dao, the Celestial Emperor was immersed in his creation, his face full of satisfaction.

The Heavenly Dao was newly established, with no living beings yet, but he could already see the future of the Heavenly Dao.

Gradually, the smile on the Celestial Emperor’s face disappeared, he seemed to see something, anger flashed in his eyes.

However, from Gu An’s perspective, a shadow appeared behind the Celestial Emperor, the figure of that shadow was identical to the Celestial Emperor, only its movements did not match, as if the shadow was about to come alive.

And the Celestial Emperor did not notice the anomaly behind him.

When the Celestial Emperor bent down to rush downward, that shadow lingered in the void.

Gu An saw clearly that the Celestial Emperor was unable to perceive it because the shadow’s realm was far above his; at that time, the Celestial Emperor had not yet achieved the Supreme Emperor of Ultimate Merging Dao, while that shadow was already at the Supreme Emperor Perfect cultivation level.

The memory fragment shattered again, and Gu An entered another memory.

A long time passed.

Gu An opened his eyes, his fishing rod unchanged, no fish had yet taken the bait, but it was already near dusk.

From the Celestial Emperor’s will, Gu An glimpsed many beings, these beings appeared in the Celestial Emperor’s memories because the Celestial Emperor was currently puzzled.

Just like that shadow, the Celestial Emperor did not notice at first, but as he reached the Supreme Emperor of Ultimate Merging Dao, he became aware of its existence, though he could not trace its whereabouts.

This time, the Celestial Emperor used his will to search the entire Heavenly Dao, not targeting Gu An, but the cause and effect of Hongmeng.

As for why the Celestial Emperor conducted the search at this time, perhaps he sensed something.

Gu An started to reel in his rod, the recent observations sparked new guesses and understandings of the Great Dao within him.

He was now very interested in Hongmeng, for the Celestial Emperor ironically could create the Heavenly Dao seemingly by leveraging the cause and effect of the Hongmeng Great World.

He hesitated about whether to take a trip to the Hongmeng Great World, while the Celestial Emperor might not perceive the existence of the Hongmeng Great World, he could step directly into it.

Forget it.

Better not go, focus on becoming stronger himself.

Gu An could see a long future for the Heavenly Dao, as long as the future could be seen, it meant there was no calamity that could threaten him.

He would not settle for the Primordial Taiyi True Saint Realm, even if there was no one in the same realm on the surface, he would still strive to grow stronger.

When there were no more puzzles in his heart, that would be the moment of truly being the strongest.

…

The Supreme Demon God roamed invincible, no creature could subdue him, and in the years that followed, human race strongmen began to rise, following him in battle, making all living beings in the world feel a sense of crisis.

Thus, the one who established the concept of the Demon Race, a figure of great power, called upon all the Demon Race of the world to gather and select a Demon Emperor together, to unite the Demon Race of the world, and jointly resist the Supreme Demon God.

For a time, the entire world became lively, with powerful beings flying over the Daoist Field of the Beginningless every day, provoking much discussion among the Wushiji Disciples.

On this day, in the courtyard.

Xiao Lan came to find Gu An, she sat by Gu An’s side, and curiously asked: “Is that little creature from before going to rise in this grand event, becoming one of the Seven Demon Emperors, or even the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Beasts?”

She always remembered that day, she and An Xin accompanied Gu An fishing, when they encountered a fire-red crow, Gu An said it would become the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Beasts in the future, its name was Fang Qiu.

Gu An was holding a book recently written by Wu Xie, he replied casually: “That’s right, as early as a few years ago, he had already become famous throughout the world, just that the fame hadn’t reached Wushi yet.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lan became even more curious, she began to question about this upcoming Demon Race grand event, and Gu An answered them one by one, as these were events soon to happen, and Xiao Lan couldn’t interfere, revealing the secret wouldn’t affect much.

From Gu An’s answers, Xiao Lan could already feel how strong the Demon Race had become, she found it incredible.

After spending so many years in Central Heaven, she felt time flew by quickly, the first day of arrival seemed just like yesterday, yet during these years, Central Heaven’s foundation already far surpassed the Celestial Spirit Great World, the Demon Race had over a hundred beings reaching the Taiqing Golden Immortal Realm, what kind of talent was that?

Her mindset began to change, from looking down at Central Heaven to looking up, for the first time she felt her own talent was quite ordinary.

“By the way, what is the origin of that Supreme Demon God, is it also a pawn of the Heavenly Court Immortals?” Xiao Lan asked, perplexed.

Such a powerful Demon Race couldn’t overcome the Supreme Demon God, then how terrifying must the Supreme Demon God be?

Gu An glanced at her, smiling: “You have become smart.”

Xiao Lan fell silent for a moment, then asked: “Does it have to be that all living beings slaughter each other for the Heavenly Dao to advance? Such rules seem too absurd.”

“In your eyes, it might seem as if the Heavenly Dao is at a standstill, with living beings born and perishing, but in reality, each tribulation breeds stronger beings, their cultivation levels, their destiny, strong enough to rival the entire heaven and earth; the Heavenly Dao is indeed unfair to mortal spirits, but it favors the immortals.”

Gu An answered, stating the facts.

The Celestial Court also had similar tribulations and reincarnations, each time consuming ninety percent of the Immortal Gods, yet those who survived grew stronger, those Celestial Dao Supremes were those who survived the calamities, breaking through limits, one immortal’s destiny equals millions of immortals.

And it was with such a strategy that the Celestial Emperor continuously grew stronger.

However, such a strategy also had limits, and now the Celestial Emperor was aware of a bottleneck, wanting to change the Heavenly Dao.

Xiao Lan looked up at Gu An, asking: “Senior Brother, will you interfere with Central Heaven in the future?”

Gu An chuckled faintly, and said: “Since I am in this world, how can I be completely isolated from it; once the dojo opens, trouble will find its way here.”
