Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses - Chapter 955: 947: Mutation of Cause and Effect
Chapter 955: Chapter 947: Mutation of Cause and Effect
“Didn’t I just say that? The Celestial Court is now in a period of upheaval.”
Xuanqing Star Lord gave a false cough, explaining seriously, and the awkward expression on his face quickly disappeared.
Li Ya remained silent. He had also heard of the enmity between the Dragon Ancestor and Jinglan Immortal. In his view, the only mistake of the Dragon Ancestor was being too extreme, but such a mistake was forced by Jinglan Immortal.
“The Heavenly Dao and the Celestial Court are one. Over the long years, there will always be changes. If you feel it is not good, you can strive to change it. If you succeed, you will benefit the future generations. To the living beings of the future, this is merely a fleeting mark in the long river of history.”
When Xuanqing Star Lord spoke these words, his tone became extraordinarily cold. Li Ya glanced at him but found himself unable to refute.
Looking back, Li Ya recalled that all realms had difficult pasts, but the living beings did not care about past sufferings, only the present. If the current ruling power is good to them, they will be grateful.
As Li Ya pondered this phenomenon, an extremely terrifying battle pressure came from afar.
The Celestial Court began to besiege the Dragon Ancestor!
This battle lasted longer than the living beings anticipated. Facing the siege of the Heavenly Court Immortals, the Dragon Ancestor surprisingly held his ground. He did not fly to Outer Heaven but fought within the heavens and earth, causing the world to tremble, allowing all living beings to feel the heavenly might.
The stronger the heavenly might, the more it demonstrates the Dragon Ancestor’s strength.
The Dragon Ancestor’s spirit influenced all living beings. First, creatures from the ocean went to support, followed by great powers residing on land.
The cultivators of Central Heaven had not experienced too much peril. They sought the Dao with grand aspirations and felt that the Celestial Court was too overbearing. Today it was the Dragon Ancestor; wouldn’t it be their turn in the future?
Most importantly, Jinglan Immortal’s time in the Human World was too arrogant, giving them a very poor impression of the Immortal Gods.
No matter what, the Celestial Court did not restrain Jinglan Immortal, and this alone was enough to stir hatred among the living beings towards the Celestial Court.
Several days into the battle, a great power shouted out that this was not just the Dragon Ancestor’s vendetta but also Central Heaven’s grievance. Central Heaven needed to strive for the respect of the Celestial Court on its own.
The will of the living beings grew more intense, exponentially increasing the pressure on the Celestial Court’s side.
At that evening, Gu An stood on a cliff, gazing at the twilight sky where the setting sun was as red as blood, a poignant beauty.
Fairy Yaoxuan came to Gu An’s side and asked, “Will the Emperor of Eternal Life participate in this battle?”
In recent days, great powers constantly called out to the heavens and the earth. Although Fairy Yaoxuan had not left the Wushishi Continent, she could see many great powers looking in the same direction. Under the cries of these renowned great powers, the resistance will of the living beings quickly coalesced. Given her understanding of the Emperor of Eternal Life, he would surely also join the battle.
“Perhaps.”
Gu An replied casually. In fact, the Emperor of Eternal Life would indeed take part in this battle.
However, this was not necessarily a bad thing. Because of Central Heaven’s uniqueness, it was impossible for the Celestial Court to obliterate Central Heaven in one fell swoop. This battle, instead, would lead to an internal cleansing within the Celestial Court.
After reincarnation, the Celestial Emperor would appear in the form of the new Celestial Emperor. Through this battle, certain Immortal Gods would be purged, thus freeing up more Immortal Positions for Central Heaven, while allowing the living beings to be aware that the Celestial Court could make mistakes but would definitely correct them.
Jinglan Immortal and the Supreme Immortal behind him had always been pawns of the Celestial Emperor.
The Celestial Emperor knew of their arrogance and indulged them precisely because he understood their temperaments.
Gu An was not in a position to judge the Celestial Emperor’s way of balancing power. He intended to observe from the perspective of a spectator. If any blind fools took advantage of the chaos to invade, no matter who they were, he would show no mercy.
“Will the descent of so many Immortal Gods to the mortal realm affect you?” Fairy Yaoxuan looked at Gu An and asked.
She had never understood Gu An and did not know what he was thinking.
In her view, Gu An, hiding here, must be apprehensive of something.
She very much wanted to know his concerns, but feared that her own lack of strength would cause him trouble instead.
“I’m not participating, so how could it affect me?”
Gu An shook his head and chuckled, then turned to look at Fairy Yaoxuan and asked, “Did you come because of this matter?”
Fairy Yaoxuan met his gaze and said, “Since the descent of the Immortal Gods, I have felt a peculiarity in the Path of Cause and Effect, fearing something big is about to happen.”
She had once been countered by the Path of Cause and Effect for countless years, making her extremely sensitive to it.
“Indeed, something big is happening. You needn’t worry; it will pass.” Gu An smiled and waved his hand.
That Fairy Yaoxuan could sense this bit was indeed impressive.
Indeed, once Fairy Yaoxuan had also been the pride of the heavens, her Dao Practice couldn’t be measured by her current realm. After all, she had wasted countless years, and those grueling years were rather an opportunity for her now.
Upon hearing this, Fairy Yaoxuan was relieved, as long as Gu An had also detected the clue.
The two looked towards the horizon in silence.
After a while, Fairy Yaoxuan left.
Gu An then walked down the mountain path. He was not accustomed to being alone with Fairy Yaoxuan and always found it awkward.
The moon set, the sun rose, a new day began. The Wushishi Continent occasionally trembled, and the waves rising at the continent’s edge rose and fell, indicating that the war between immortals and mortals was still fierce, with no end in sight.
In the following days, more great powers joined the battle, and many Immortal Gods were completely destroyed by the Dragon Ancestor’s Great Divine Power. This led to the Celestial Court dispatching even stronger Immortal God forces to join, with the divine might of the Heavenly Court’s Treasures often illuminating Central Heaven’s celestial vault, witnessed by all living beings.
The longer this battle lasted, the more it invigorated the living beings.
It turned out the Heavenly Court Immortals were not invincible!
In such circumstances, dark powers began to invade Central Heaven.
Gu An saw the Dark Heavenly Court and Eternal Dao Extreme start to infiltrate Central Heaven. They were like termites, always ready to exploit the Heavenly Dao’s upheaval and would not abandon this target due to the Celestial Emperor’s strength.
…
On the boundless desert, countless lightning interwove in the sky, and a black rift gradually widened.
Soon.
Figures emerged from the black rift, led by none other than Ji Xiaoyu.
She wore black, adorned with a red crown, exuding a vast aura that even stilled the thunder. With steps in mid-air, each step brought forth different hues of the celestial glow.
The Sun and Moon Nether Emperor followed in the crowd, gazing at the forefront Ji Xiaoyu with fervent eyes.
These people all hailed from the Yin Yang Immortal Domain of the Celestial Spirit Great World, and the other three of the Four Emperors of Yin and Yang also arrived.
Yellow Springs Demon Emperor, Earth Store Divine Emperor, Six Paths Dust Emperor!
When they saw Ji Xiaoyu’s stride, they were equally amazed.
“The Tao Emperor’s Dao Practice is becoming ever deeper, beyond my comprehension.”
“Even in Central Heaven, she can integrate into the Rules of Heaven and Earth. We are indeed riding on the coattails.”
“Yes, should this blazing thunder strike, even with your and my Dao Practice, it would be hard to withstand.”
The three emperors sighed, and their words left other great powers of the Yin Yang Immortal Domain even more astonished, all wondering just how strong the Reincarnation Dao Emperor really was?
