Chapter 1098: Chapter 1089: No Bottleneck
After leaving Central Heaven, Gu An didn’t care about those cultivators recognizing his identity, as it didn’t affect him at all.
They arrived again at the edge of the Heavenly Dao, a world born after the Celestial Emperor achieved sainthood. Here, myriad races were already established, and all living beings touched upon the path of cultivation, but compared to the Three Thousand Great Worlds, it was still far behind, belonging to the mortal realm category.
Gu An was still riding the black horse he had meticulously selected in the Celestial Court, with Hongqian Ancestor leading the reins, recounting his glorious deeds.
This time, after teaching Purple Willow Ancestor a lesson for Li Xuandao, it brought him great satisfaction. He felt he finally did something for Gu An, even though it was a minor task, but at least he was useful.
Riding this wave of emotion, he recounted enemies he encountered in chaos and spoke of his victories with high spirits, while Gu An watched him with a smile, fueling his desire to speak more.
The three of them and the horse walked along the ridge, the bright sun shining high, with a river beside them flowing tirelessly for thousands of miles, majestic as a tiger.
Gu An, swaying with the horse’s back, was in a good mood and was willing to listen to Hongqian Ancestor brag. His thoughts, too, wandered to the past.
He wasn’t thinking about his past at the Supreme Sect but rather a more distant past.
In his previous life, did he ever imagine himself in such a day while living a mediocre life in the bustling city?
Perhaps he did, but it was mere fanciful dreaming.
Now, Gu An felt incredibly grounded and even more satisfied, yet this mindset made him uneasy.
One can be satisfied, but never complacent.
He managed to rise unnoticed in the chaos, so it’s possible for someone else to emerge suddenly without his detection; nothing is absolute.
Even the Infinite Supreme Saint couldn’t satisfy Gu An.
Gu An could see the direction to move forward; as long as there was a path ahead, he couldn’t stop.
What lies beyond the Infinite?
Gu An, through reflection, began contemplating the future.
The entire chaos held no secrets for him now; to continue progressing, he must explore unknown territories, enrich his knowledge, and hone his thoughts.
If he couldn’t achieve that, he’d just keep going like he always had.𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Gu An wasn’t deliberately avoiding using his life span to evolve; he was simply waiting. If he could achieve enlightenment before his life span reached a breakthrough point, all the better. Once his life span accumulated to the breakthrough stage, he’d advance without hesitation.
Perhaps it was due to his smooth life that Gu An cherished those around him and was willing to offer opportunities to strangers without seeking anything in return.
"No bottleneck..."
Gu An muttered to himself, as if grasping something.
Hongqian Ancestor turned to look, curiously asking, "Master, who has no bottleneck?"
"Of course, the master. You think it’s you?" said the Great Profound Yin Dominator with irritation.
Hearing Hongqian Ancestor brag, he genuinely felt like acting if he hadn’t seen Gu An in such high spirits.
Hongqian Ancestor felt irked but didn’t dare say anything else, for Gu An allowed them to spar.
Could his bouts with the Great Profound Yin Dominator be called sparring?
Every time Hongqian Ancestor thought of this, he felt aggrieved, angry yet unable to express it.
"Nothing much, I was pondering if there could be a way in this world without bottlenecks or limits," Gu An smiled, as the breeze tousled his hair, fully revealing his handsome face.
Hongqian Ancestor, intrigued by his words, couldn’t help but ask, "No bottlenecks, no limits? Are you speaking about cultivation level?"
"Cultivation level is just one aspect, including thoughts, vision, steps, and so on."
Gu An replied, which only puzzled Hongqian Ancestor more.
Wouldn’t all these enhance with a strong cultivation level?
The Great Profound Yin Dominator considered more deeply.
Is he aiming to create a path akin to the path of cultivating immortality?
A defined and unprecedented cultivation path?
The Great Profound Yin Dominator, being worldly wise, had witnessed countless cultivation paths, yet all were branches of the path of cultivating immortality, leading to the same goal by different routes.
Upon considering Gu An’s realm surpassed that of saints, he thought Gu An could indeed achieve it.
If Gu An truly created a path without limits, wouldn’t it mean surpassing the saints for him as well?
His heartbeat raced as he immediately said, "Indeed, none within the realm, but beyond, there is you. Just as in the chaos before, cultivators like Hongqian couldn’t fathom the existence of saints."
Though ridiculed, Hongqian Ancestor wasn’t foolish and quickly realized what the Great Profound Yin Dominator meant.
"Yes, master, even if it doesn’t exist, it awaits your creation," Hongqian Ancestor immediately said, eyes filled with anticipation.
Gu An chuckled softly, not saying anything, but he indeed felt their expectations.
Unbeknownst to him, he was carrying many hopes, not feeling pressured, nor resisting, rather, enjoying it.
To amaze those dearest to him was a greater achievement for him than wielding great power.
"The future is long, let’s see,"
Gu An’s voice rose and drifted with the wind, their figures from high above the sea of clouds looked so small, like dust in the universe.
...
Years passed, Li Xuandao’s teachings, Hongqian Ancestor’s action against Purple Willow Ancestor, became widely known across Central Heaven, even spreading to the Celestial Court.
Purple Willow Ancestor, as a being surpassing the Dao Extreme Daluo Immortals, was someone even immortals and gods paid respects to, yet he was caught off guard and suffered such a loss.
The news of Hongqian Ancestor serving the Ancestor Master Wushi spread silently, arousing curiosity among the great powers about how formidable the Ancestor Master Wushi truly was.
The Heavenly Court immortals suddenly realized, making sense of it, for if it was Ancestor Master Wushi, it seemed reasonable.
As they knew well, the Ancestor Master Wushi was actually the Merit Suppressing God Venerable, the strong existence who once saved the Heavenly Court, highly revered and mysteriously concealed.
When Gu An rarely returned to the Merit Divine Horse Heavenly Palace, Xuanqing Star Lord came to find Gu An, telling him about these events, saying although Gu An hadn’t acted, his fame spread across the Heavenly Dao.
In the hall, besides Xuanqing Star Lord, there was another, a Great Celestial Divine Steed managing great power on behalf of Gu An.
The Great Celestial Divine Steed transformed into a fairy in a white dress, radiant and captivating, with an ethereal presence, but with a cold expression.
She watched Xuanqing Star Lord with hostile eyes, making him uncomfortable.
Xuanqing Star Lord could only ignore her, looking at Gu An, and said, "Venerable, the Celestial Court might once again face turmoil."
Gu An nonchalantly responded, "The Emperor has achieved sainthood, does he still have troubles he cannot solve?"
Xuanqing Star Lord glanced at the Great Celestial Divine Steed, then at Gu An, gritted his teeth, and said, "To be honest, the Emperor’s Saint Realm might fall!"
Upon hearing this, the Great Celestial Divine Steed visibly showed surprise, her gaze changed.
Gu An frowned, internally amused.
Playing this game again!
"During the last battle with the Saint Venerable of Punishment, the Emperor was severely injured. Recently, in the depths of chaos, a type of black flame appeared that couldn’t be extinguished, causing a drastic change in demeanor upon contact. Not long ago, I found an immortal bringing this flame back to the Celestial Court. Upon investigation, it was the doing of a Celestial Dao Venerable,"
Xuanqing Star Lord furrowed his brow and sighed.
Within the Celestial Court, only Celestial Dao Venerables were beyond his scrutiny; every internal calamity involved a Venerable, leaving him puzzled.
