Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses - Chapter 1046 - 1037: Luoxu Saint Venerable
Chapter 1046: Chapter 1037: Luoxu Saint Venerable
“Extraordinary to Saint? What does it mean?”
Gu An looked at the young monk with a teasing smile.
The young monk had retreated to the side of the pavilion, his eyes full of incredulousness as he looked at Gu An, his body even trembling, and he asked through gritted teeth, “Who exactly are you?”
Gu An picked up the wine pot, pouring himself a drink while asking, “And who are you?”
The two had met by chance, both pursued by demons, narrowly escaping with their lives, coming here to relax; the young monk had never imagined that the seemingly powerless scholar was actually a being transcending Immortal Gods.
Gu An would not meet people by chance; the reason why he met this young monk was due to the karma they shared from the monk’s past life.
The young monk was the reincarnation of his junior disciple Wuxin, who had been living well when Gu An left the Celestial Spirit Great World. However, as the legend of Central Heaven spread, too many cultivators wanted to go there, and Wuxin was also moved. Unfortunately, no matter what he did, he couldn’t find Central Heaven, eventually thinking of reincarnation to enhance his qualifications through the Innate Reincarnation Skill.
After endless reincarnations, Wuxin finally incarnated in Central Heaven, although his memories had not yet recovered, retaining only his cultivation insights from past lives, appearing as a commoner but in truth possessing a powerful divine soul.
It wasn’t solely his efforts that enabled Wuxin to reincarnate in Central Heaven.
Gu An, seeing his struggles in reincarnation, lent him a helping hand.
However, after descending to Central Heaven, Wuxin encountered anomalies, marked by forces beyond Chaos.
Not just him, countless beings within the Heavenly Dao were targeted by that force.
That force was the Great Infinite Demon Ancestor.
This Saint’s maneuvers increased, and his day to descend upon Chaos was not far off.
He had orchestrated countless years, inserting myriad pieces within the Heavenly Dao, now spreading destiny far and wide, seeking to develop followers, eventually devouring the Celestial Dao Destiny, finding Hongmeng, replacing it, and seeking the chance to become a Super Saint like the Hongmeng Ancestor.
After discovering the Chaos birth of a Saint, the Great Infinite Demon Ancestor was not afraid; instead, he became more anxious.
Not only him, the other Saints were like this too.
Yet the power of Saints couldn’t easily break through the Dao Universe’s barriers, forcing them to employ various means and wait for opportune moments.
“Who am I?”
The young monk’s expression shifted, unable to answer.
He traveled the world searching for this answer. He had not cultivated immortality, yet he harbored a powerful force, once inadvertently revealing it while young at the temple, even injuring a senior brother. When this force surged, he felt a strong obsession.
Later, his master told him he needed to journey through the Human World to find his true self.
During his travels, he gradually explored fortune-telling arts, able to glimpse ordinary people’s life and death, and deduced their destinies.
This was his first time deducing an Extraordinary to Saint destiny.
Strangely, despite it being his first time, he instinctively blurted it out as Extraordinary to Saint.
Calming down now, he found it perplexing.
What is Extraordinary to Saint?
Why did he instinctively feel fear?
“You are afraid because there is another entity inside you feeling scared; that is his emotion. As for Extraordinary to Saint, it is a realm, a level.”
Gu An said with a smile, then raised his bowl to drink.
The young monk felt uneasy, discovering in horror that his body was out of control, instinctively desiring to turn away.
Then.
Gu An suddenly threw the wine bowl at him, the wine splattering his face faster, instantly waking him, bringing a sense of relief.
He regained control of his flesh, looking at Gu An in astonishment, noticing Gu An’s gaze had turned fierce.
What kind of gaze was that?
Even though the young monk had seen emperors and generals, reclusive immortals, he had never seen such an oppressive gaze that made him want to bow down.
He noted that Gu An’s gaze was not fixed on him; he turned his head to look behind him, not completely turned, his peripheral vision caught sight of a pitch-black figure, causing his pupils to widen in fright.
This was a black shadow-like figure, looking similar in stature to the young monk.
The young monk, terrified, ran towards Gu An, arriving behind him in haste, observing the black shadow with fear.
“He… came from inside me?”
The young monk asked in a trembling voice, realizing the earlier sudden relaxation was genuine, and that hidden power and obsession in him originated from another person.
Under broad daylight, this shadow appeared even more terrifying and dreadful, making him filled with dread.
In truth, he was not a Celestial Mandate person; he was merely possessed by evil.
The shadow opened a pair of human-like eyes, staring at Gu An with bloodshot eyes, seemingly gritting his teeth and asked, “Chaos Saint, as the Nine Great Dao persists, Chaos should not birth a Saint. Who exactly are you, from which Dao Universe do you come?”
Gu An looked at this Supreme Emperor of Ultimate Merging Dao from another Dao Universe, chuckling softly, “You are not a Saint; how dare you make assertions? Are you sure the entity behind you is completely honest with you?”
Outside Chaos, Saints employ various means, and the Great Infinite Demon Ancestor’s method was to send beings into the Heavenly Dao, spreading destiny widely, amassing followers, whereas other Saints had their own means, like the Supreme Emperor of Ultimate Merging Dao before them, sent by Saints through the Great Dao River.
The Saint named Luoxu Saint Venerable was not inferior to the Great Infinite Demon Ancestor, having opened a Dao Universe himself, thriving more than Chaos, at least not segmented like Chaos and the Heavenly Dao.
“What do you mean?”
The shadow asked in a deep voice, knowing the opponent was a Saint, filled with despair, choosing not to escape because he couldn’t, accurately immobilized right now.
Gu An squinted his eyes, asking, “Do you think the Saint’s cause and effect are so coincidental? You came into contact with him, encountered me, is it your misfortune?”
Upon hearing this, the shadow trembled, eyes revealing anger.
He understood he had become a pawn of that Saint, moreover, a discarded one.
“Fellow Daoist, how should I address you?”
A vast voice echoed between heaven and earth, startling the young monk, who looked up in search, unable to find the source.
Gu An spoke, “Stop looking; he is not in this realm.”
Turning his tone, he said, “I am called Meng Lang; may I know Fellow Daoist’s true name?”
“Meng Lang? Since you have become a Saint, why not use a Saint’s name?”
“A name is merely a symbol; I need only one.”
“Fellow Daoist is genuine indeed. I am Luoxu Saint Venerable; do you know the predicament you are currently in?”
Gu An smiled, asking, “At the moment, it seems I’m being targeted by Fellow Daoist.”
The young monk was too tense to breathe, the shadow equally tense, uncertain of any glimpse of hope.
“If I were to be an enemy to Fellow Daoist, I wouldn’t approach this child. The predicament you face is beyond your imagination, even I can only glimpse a bit. The fortune that appeared in Chaos alerted many Saints hidden in the darkness; Chaos has become the most conspicuous existence in the dark.”
Luoxu Saint Venerable’s tone was indifferent, with no discernible emotion.
