Chapter 1040: Chapter 1031: Ancient Hongmeng
Li Ya’s inquiry drew the attention of all the Merit Immortals towards him. As the first Merit Immortal, even though his cultivation level was not the highest, being the first still held weight.
Xuanqing Star Lord looked at Li Ya with a deep impression and ever-present expectations, even though Li Ya’s presence in the Celestial Court was not prominent.
Hearing Li Ya’s inquiry, Xuanqing Star Lord roughly guessed the reason.
A portion of the cause and effect on Li Ya was always difficult to deduce, and it also originated from the Celestial Spirit Great World, likely having interaction with the Merit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch.
However, the Merit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch did not instruct him to take extra care of Li Ya, indicating a temporary reluctance to acknowledge this cause and effect, so he naturally would not take it upon himself.
Xuanqing Star Lord stroked his beard and smiled, "His disciples are indeed numerous, varied in background, yet none dare to act recklessly in his presence."
He did not outright deny it but instead managed to flatter the Merit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch, leaving no gaps.
Li Ya heard the denial because he knew Gu An was unpretentious, and Gu An’s disciples were quite laidback, not as strict as Xuanqing Star Lord described.
Could he have guessed wrong?
It’s true, the Heavenly Dao is vast, and Chaos is boundless, concealing unimaginable great powers, which is also normal.
Li Ya asked no more, and the other Merit Immortals looked away after hearing him.
If Li Ya were acquainted with the Merit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch, they would view Li Ya with newfound respect. Unfortunately, Li Ya did not have this Fuyuan.
Xuanqing Star Lord continued to narrate his interactions with the Merit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch, and the Merit Immortals listened attentively, imagining the image of the Merit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch.
They were deeply curious about the Merit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch and also eagerly awaited the day the Tianhe First Demon-Vanquishing Army returns, as the Celestial Court would be lively then.
The Xuanqing Immortal Palace was merely a microcosm of the Celestial Court, where discussions about the Merit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch were also held in other Immortal Palaces and Dojos.
All the Immortal Gods understood that the Merit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch would be one of the highest-ranking figures in the Celestial Court’s future, while they admired the Celestial Emperor.
Long before the previous Celestial Emperor’s reign, Chaos was already invading the Celestial Court, leaving hidden dangers. Not long after ascending the throne, the New Heavenly Emperor promoted the Merit Immortal and established the position of the Merit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch. Now, the Merit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch has severely injured Cangming, creating unprecedented achievements, which naturally made the Immortal Gods admire the chosen Celestial Emperor.
The achievements of the Merit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch benefited all the Immortal Gods, who had long been weary of Chaos’s entanglement. Furthermore, once the Celestial Court triumphed, unimaginable resources would be captured, and the Heavenly Court Immortals would be blessed.
The Tianhe First Demon-Vanquishing Army had not yet returned, yet Gu An was preparing to break through.
Despite having comprehensive knowledge of Chaos, he still chose to believe in lifespan breakthroughs.
He stood on the cliff of Inch Island, from where he could see the figures of the True Yuan Ancestor and Xuanwu, quietly activating the lifespan breakthrough function.
[You activate the lifespan breakthrough function, and based on your current realm, the following breakthrough locations have been selected for you]
[One, Chaos Innate Tower]
[Two, Ancient Hongmeng]
[Three, Great Darkness Borderless Domain]
[Four, Origin Dao Sea]
[Five, Reincarnation Heaven Cliff]
[Six, True Extreme Dao Universe]
[Seven, Endless Terminal]
[Eight, Dao Yu Yuan Mountain]
[Nine, Ancestor Saint Tomb]
Upon seeing the list of prompts before him, Gu An raised an eyebrow slightly, as he had already reached the Primordial Taiyi True Saint Realm Perfect, and there were still so many places available for a breakthrough.
The nine options were given by the evolution ability and did not mean only these nine places.
It seemed realms beyond the Saint had been born before.
Gu An contemplated and decided to choose Ancient Hongmeng, as the places chosen for lifespan breakthroughs were absolutely safe, and perhaps he could also observe the past of Hongmeng from this place.
He immediately made a choice and simultaneously stepped to the other end of the Human World, standing alone in a forest.
[To teleport to Ancient Hongmeng, it requires consuming 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 years of lifespan, do you wish to continue]
Ten quadrillion years!
That’s quite a lot, and it’s just for teleportation.
But no matter, this expenditure is merely one-thousandth of his lifespan.
Gu An chose to continue.
Immediately, he closed his eyes as the familiar dizziness returned.
Only this time, the duration was longer than any previous lifespan breakthrough.
He patiently waited, gradually sensing a chill.
After a while, he slowly opened his eyes, and what greeted him was the boundless Red Sky Vault. He stood in the air looking down, finding no land below, and seeing no end in any direction.
There were no stars, no oceans, and no creatures, yet numerous clouds and mist were visible.
Is this Ancient Hongmeng?
Gu An squinted his eyes as his Holy Thought spread out, exploring the Ancient Hongmeng.
The Ancient Hongmeng was indeed lifeless; there was no spiritual energy here, but it was filled with a special power, akin to the power of the Great Dao, yet distinctly different.
As he continued to observe, vast cause and effect appeared before his eyes, allowing him to understand the origins of Ancient Hongmeng.
This place did not belong to the time and space under the Dao Rules; it was a much more distant place, inaccessible to any creature.
The birth of Ancient Hongmeng was directly related to Hongmeng; it was like a reflection of Hongmeng. When Hongmeng evolved to a certain stage, another Hongmeng would be born outside the Great Dao.
It is termed Ancient Hongmeng because this piece of Hongmeng once suffered an attack from a certain power.
Gu An carefully deduced and discovered that Ancient Hongmeng was not invaded but coexisted with Hongmeng. When Hongmeng perishes, it perishes.
Hongmeng had no creatures, and so it did not have creatures. The fact that it’s still here indicates that Hongmeng had not been completely extinguished.
Gu An had visited the Hongmeng Great World before.
The Celestial Emperor seized Hongmeng Destiny to create the Heavenly Dao, but the place where the Heavenly Dao resided was not Hongmeng; Hongmeng was suppressed at a deeper level.
With Gu An’s current cultivation level, he could naturally stand in the Heavenly Dao and capture Hongmeng.
Crossing Yin and Yang, one can reach Hongmeng.
Though Hongmeng had no creatures, it had birthed some wills, existing in another form.
The existence of Ancient Hongmeng depended on another power, an equivalent force to the Great Dao, which restrained the Great Dao.
It was because of this force that Gu An could perform a breakthrough here.
Gu An found he could indeed probe into everything that had happened in Hongmeng through Ancient Hongmeng.
The existence of Hongmeng spanned a far longer epoch than the Heavenly Dao, and deducing everything about Hongmeng required time, though breaking through was more important than this.
Gu An gathered his spirit, sitting cross-legged while bringing up his attribute panel.
[Name: Gu An]
[Lifespan: 794,003,423/120,187,631,229,000,435,227,409]
[Physique: Creation Eternal Life]
[Cultivation Level: Primordial Taiyi True Saint Realm Perfect]
...
1.2 decillion years lifespan!
Enough for him to break through!
The past breakthrough to Primordial Taiyi True Saint cost nearly five hundred sextillion years, but now, with his lifespan more than a hundredfold over, he was full of confidence.
Gu An focused directly on his cultivation level and began to invest lifespan.
