Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses - Chapter 1016: 1008: Godslaying
Chapter 1016: Chapter 1008: Godslaying
At noon, Gu An’s courtyard was buzzing with excitement because Lv Xian had returned. After a century away, he came back unscathed, boastfully sharing his achievements with the second-generation disciples.
Gu An stepped out of the house, and the disciples immediately greeted him with respect.
“It’s okay, you continue speaking, I want to listen too.”
Gu An smiled at Lv Xian, then walked to the side and began to stretch his muscles.
Lv Xian, invigorated, continued narrating his battle experiences.
Having reached the rank of Heaven-Opening Daluo Immortal, he was considered a person of great power in Central Heaven, while Chen Chuan was still in the Heaven Balancing Golden Immortal Realm, his enemies only in the Taiqing Golden Immortal Realm.
Descending from the sky, Lv Xian single-handedly confronted a sect, resolving Chen Chuan’s grievances and spreading the name of Wushi.
Gu An previously had no objections to Chen Chuan’s departure. Over the years, he always monitored Chen Chuan, for Chen Chuan was his junior brother Xiaochuan reincarnated.
If not for his hidden protection, Chen Chuan wouldn’t have achieved the Heaven Balancing Golden Immortal Realm, let alone reach Central Heaven.
Many disciples left Wushi, but only a few could reach Central Heaven, the central stage of the Heavenly Dao.
“By the way, during this outing, I also discovered a list, recording the names of Immortal Gods. I even saw the name of the Merit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch, but the name of this list…”
As Lv Xian spoke, he glanced at Gu An hesitantly.
Blood Prison Great Saint expressed displeasure: “You’re already talking about it, why act coy, just say it!”
Others chimed in; having spent so much time together, they understood Lv Xian’s personality?
Lv Xian fake-coughed to mask his embarrassment and continued: “This list is called the God Slaughter List. It is said that the Immortal Gods on this list will be killed, though I didn’t believe it initially until I saw my master’s divine name on it.”
Celestial Demon Child curiously asked, “How many divine names are on this list?”
“Too many to count, at least I saw no fewer than a million.”
Lv Xian shook his head in response, this statement arousing further curiosity among the disciples.
Does the Celestial Court have so many Immortal Gods?
An Xin remarked, “If it’s true, the knowledge of so many divine names could only have spread from within the Celestial Court.”
Jiang Shi pondered aloud: “This is Central Heaven, where the Immortal Gods watch from above. For the God Slaughter List to spread, the Immortal Gods couldn’t be unaware.”
The disciples began to speculate, increasingly convinced it was an internal struggle within the Celestial Court, possibly led by the Celestial Emperor.
As the conversation continued, Shen Zhen looked at Gu An and asked, “Why don’t you share your opinion? Surely you understand.”
The other disciples looked at Gu An, their eyes full of curiosity.
Having faced so many hardships, their confidence in Gu An was unwavering; they didn’t believe the so-called God Slaughter List could threaten him.
Gu An, twisting his waist, replied: “The God Slaughter List isn’t from within the Celestial Court. It’s truly a declaration of war against the Court. According to this list, it reveals the mysterious veil of the Immortal Gods and then kills them one by one, dismantling the reverence for Immortal Gods among all beings, which in turn shakes the Celestial Court’s destiny and scatters the Celestial Dao Destiny.”
The disciples’ expressions changed drastically, suddenly feeling the pressure.
Gu An remarked deeply: “Currently, the Celestial Court is helpless, unable to curb the spread of the God Slaughter List or find its mastermind.”
Lv Xian frowned and asked, “Master, even you can’t foresee this?”
Gu An turned his head to gaze at the celestial vault without answering, plunging the disciples’ hearts into despair.
An invisible pressure instantly enveloped them all.
Just then, golden light appeared in the sky, capturing the attention of all the disciples. They looked up to see golden lotus flowers descending from the sky, scattering across the Human World.
“Is another Great Fortune Seeker born?”
Celestial Cyan asked curiously, as they had seen this scene often in the past.
Gu An replied slowly: “It’s not a gift from the world’s creation; it’s the fall of an Immortal God of high immortal position that makes Cangtian mourn.”
The fall of Immortal Gods!
The disciples became instantly uneasy, Blood Prison Great Saint quickly asked: “Aren’t Immortal Gods immortal?”
Beings strive to become Immortals for the sake of eternal life.
And the immortality of Immortal Gods is the ultimate goal pursued by cultivators.
“Because the creator of the God Slaughter List can devour the Celestial Dao Destiny. When the Immortal God’s Celestial Dao Destiny is stripped away, they naturally fall. Ultimately, so-called Immortal Gods depend on the power of the Heavenly Dao.”
Gu An gazed up at the celestial vault, speaking softly.
After listening, the disciples felt even heavier hearts.
Previously, they had heard about the war between the Celestial Court and Chaos, which could be investigated in Central Heaven. They had listened for entertainment before, but now they realized it wasn’t just the Celestial Court’s catastrophe; it was the calamity of the entire Heavenly Dao.
As the golden lotuses fell, the disciples instinctively reached out to catch them. Surprisingly, when touched, the lotuses melted, and they felt a sudden surge of sadness.
No creation, no destiny, no inheritance, only sorrow.
The whole of Central Heaven was shrouded in gloom, for not just Wushiji Disciples were bathing in this golden lotus rain, but all regions in Central Heaven experienced the same. All beings who came into contact with the lotuses felt immense grief, unable to calm their minds for cultivation or concentrate on their tasks.
“Master, what was the realm of this fallen Immortal God? And what was their immortal position?”
An Xin turned to look at Gu An, asking earnestly, trying to suppress the sadness in her heart.
More than the news of the Immortal God’s fall, she cared that her Dao Heart could be affected by the Heavenly Dao, indicating her cultivation was not deep enough.
Other disciples followed her gaze towards Gu An.
“Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal, Supreme Immortal.”
Gu An’s answer made their expressions change drastically, Lv Xian opened his mouth but ultimately couldn’t say a word.
The news of the Immortal God’s fall swiftly spread across Central Heaven, shaking the Celestial Court even more.
Immortal Gods gathered in the Palace of the Polestar, disputing this matter.
Li Ya was also in the hall, although he was the first Merit Immortal, he stood towards the back, very far from the Celestial Emperor’s Throne, with no fewer than a hundred thousand Immortal Gods standing before him.
It should be noted that the Celestial Court was still at war, with less than thirty percent of Immortal Gods remaining in the Court; even so, there were so many standing in front of him.
Compared to his first time entering the Palace of the Polestar, Li Ya’s courage had diminished considerably.
He was distracted, finding it hard to discuss the God Slaughter List with other Immortal Gods, even though his divine name was also on the list.
“Don’t worry, it now seems the God Slaughter List doesn’t follow any specific order. If you stay within the Celestial Court, you won’t encounter a crisis.”
A nearby Immortal God spoke, having heard of Li Ya’s exploits, and admired Li Ya, thus proactively offering comfort.
Li Ya shook his head, about to reply when a vast heavenly might descended.
All Immortal Gods looked up, seeing the Celestial Emperor appear.
The Celestial Emperor stood before the Emperor’s Throne, shrouded in the strong light of the Heavenly Dao. Though he didn’t reveal his true form, just his figure revitalized all Immortal Gods, including Li Ya.
Those Immortal Gods who had experienced the Celestial Emperor’s shift were even more dazed; they seemed to see the past domineering and arrogant invincible Celestial Emperor.
This reignited hope within them.
Has the New Heavenly Emperor completely inherited the Celestial Emperor’s destiny?
