Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses-Chapter 751 - 743: Mo Luo Clan, Chaos of Immortals and Demons
Chapter 751 -743: Mo Luo Clan, Chaos of Immortals and Demons
In the dark depths of the universe, bolts of lightning appeared out of thin air, entwining and spreading. Faintly, a colossal entity was advancing, accompanied by lightning. The massive scales that resembled mountains reflected a cold, icy light.
On the other end of the universe, countless meteorites gathered into a meteorite belt. Zhu Xi and a dozen cultivators stood on one of the meteorites, looking into the depths of the void, all frowning.
“What is that?”
“The aura is so terrifying; it must have at least reached the level of a Heaven-Encompassing Free Immortal Realm!”
“It seems to be tearing apart the universe?”
“Could it be that the battle for the Son of Heaven is about to start?”
The cultivators around Zhu Xi whispered to each other, all very tense.
Since the unification of the Taiwei Great World, the Holy Court’s main focus had been preparing for the battle, anticipating the inevitable struggle for the Son of Heaven.
Today, they suddenly sensed an uninvited guest arriving in the Taiwei Great World, so they came to observe the situation.
The Taiwei Great World also had immortal gods guarding it. As long as those immortal gods were not disturbed, it meant that the Taiwei Great World had not faced an apocalyptic disaster. What they needed to do was to prepare countermeasures in advance.
Zhu Xi stared intently at the giant entity at the end of the void, wondering why its aura seemed somewhat familiar to her.
There was one person, however, who saw through the origin and identity of this colossal entity—Gu An.
Seventy thousand years had passed since Gu An taught An Zizai the second palm of the Myriad Supreme Palm.
Today, he was wandering through a city in the Tai Cang Dynasty when he suddenly sensed that mysterious creatures were continuously invading the Three Thousand Great Worlds, so he looked up.
“This demon and the Demon God Body have similar blood and flesh aura…”
“Mo Luo Clan… Mo Luo Qilin…”
Gu An looked at the mysterious demonic creature infiltrating the Taiwei Great World and quickly calculated its cause and effect.
The Mo Luo Clan comes from the edge of the Great Dao and is somewhat causally linked to Chaos Evil Demons. There are countless forms within the Mo Luo Clan. The Demon God Bodies crafted by the immortal gods are derived from the flesh and blood of the Mo Luo Clan. And now, the mysterious creatures invading the Three Thousand Great Worlds also come from the Mo Luo Clan, known as Mo Luo Qilin.
These Mo Luo Qilin are all bound by invisible Heavenly Dao Lock Chains. Their purpose is to station themselves within the Great Thousand Worlds.
From a macro perspective, Gu An saw that not all Great Thousand Worlds had Mo Luo Qilin, only half of them did.
It appeared that this was a tactic of a certain Son of Heaven, deploying forces in advance.
Gu An deduced that the Son of Heaven manipulating the Mo Luo Qilin was the Great Immortal Divine Yuan.
The Great Immortal Divine Yuan relied on the combined forces of the Mo Luo Clan and the native cultivators of the Great World, while Xuanyuan Human Venerable depended more on the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.
In the future, when the two sides clashed, it would bring chaos between immortals and demons to the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
Gu An quickly halted his deductions, wanting to leave some suspense for the future.
Although the Celestial Spirit Great World was not under the call of the Sons of Heaven, it was also part of the Three Thousand Great Worlds and could not avoid catastrophe. At that time, the various sects would have to resist invaders from other Great Worlds and even face the havoc caused by demonic creatures and heavenly soldiers.
At that time, Gu An would also send out his Wushiji Disciples for training.
Mere secluded cultivation was not enough. Even for Gu An, having undergone numerous lifespan reincarnations, he had accumulated battle experience unimaginable to ordinary people.
Then, Gu An withdrew his gaze and continued to walk down the streets of the Human World.
This city in the Human World had cultivators, with the highest realm reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, but it was still mostly inhabited by mortals. The streets were lined with various vendors, and it was the flower season, with numerous petals floating in the air, mingling with a special fragrance that was refreshing and delightful.
As he walked, Gu An noticed a group of children chasing and beating a small black dog. The dog’s fur was dirty and matted, and it was limping, but the children found it amusing.
Passersby, though some glanced over, did not intervene. No one cared about the safety of a stray dog, thinking that children under ten couldn’t possibly harm it fatally.
Gu An initially did not pay attention, but the small black dog ran towards him, surprising him somewhat.
Although he hadn’t concealed his aura or presence, the small black dog choosing him was a kind of fate.
The small black dog ran up to him, circling behind his legs, and the children coming after it stopped in their tracks, looking at him timidly.
Gu An’s clean and elegant attire made him look unlike a common person, so the children naturally didn’t dare offend him.
The older children exchanged glances, then turned and ran, with the other children quickly following suit.
“Whimpering…”
The small black dog leaned against Gu An’s boot, whimpering pitifully.
Gu An glanced at it and then continued walking.
The small black dog stayed in place for a moment, then limped to follow Gu An.
Gu An didn’t pay it any mind and continued his stroll.
By dusk, he left the city, and the small black dog still followed, though it looked extremely exhausted, stumbling as it walked.
After leaving the city, Gu An entered the woods, and the distance between him and the small black dog gradually increased.
Unknown time passed, and the small black dog finally couldn’t hold on, collapsing on the ground, its eyelids growing heavy.
It struggled to open and close its eyes. Seeing Gu An squatting before it, an unusual light flickered in its eyes.
“Since you have such perseverance, I will help you shed your mortal form. But I hope you do not become what you now fear and despise.”
Gu An’s voice reached the small black dog’s ears. Though it was ignorant, these words etched deeply into its heart.
Drowsiness surged like a tide, quickly dragging its consciousness into darkness.
…
Night fell.
Gu An returned to his courtyard. Shen Zhen, unusually, was not meditating before the Artifact Refining Cauldron but lay on the rocking chair where Gu An usually lounged, reading a book.
Seeing Gu An return, she glanced at him and asked, “You seem to be in a good mood?”
“Mm, I did a good deed today, saved a little dog.”
Gu An said with a smile, but these words made Shen Zhen feel awkward.
With his immense cultivation level, capable of saving all living beings in an instant, now simply saving a dog could make him so happy?
Shen Zhen always felt she understood Gu An well, but sometimes she felt she didn’t understand him at all.
Perhaps her Dao practice was still insufficient, or maybe something more profound happened during the process of saving the dog.
Gu An ignored her and went straight into the room.
The moon set and the sun rose, day after day.
The Daoist Field of the Beginningless remained untroubled by worldly affairs; a year outside was like a day inside.
Another million years passed.
On this day, after picking medicinal herbs, Gu An returned to the Daoist Field of the Beginningless. Midway up the mountain, he saw fourth-generation disciples gathered together, discussing the affairs of the world.
They talked about a Great Demon that had unified half of the Human World, a demon calling itself the Demon Emperor with a grand following, unsettling the Nine Sects of the Human World. It was said that the Nine Sects were debating whether to eliminate this demon.
This demon had not committed any evil deeds, but the gathered power of the demon race under it posed a significant threat.
