Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses Chapter 1040 - 1031: Ancient Hongmeng

Li Ya’s inquiry drew the attention of all the rit Immortals towards him. As the first rit Immortal, even though his cultivation level was not the highest, being the first still held weight.

Xuanqing Star Lord looked at Li Ya with a deep impression and ever-present expectations, even though Li Ya’s presence in the Celestial Court was not prominent.

Hearing Li Ya’s inquiry, Xuanqing Star Lord roughly guessed the reason.

A portion of the cause and effect on Li Ya was always difficult to deduce, and it also originated from the Celestial Spirit Great World, likely having interaction with the rit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch.

However, the rit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch did not instruct him to take extra care of Li Ya, indicating a temporary reluctance to acknowledge this cause and effect, so he naturally would not take it upon himself.

Xuanqing Star Lord stroked his beard and smiled, "His disciples are indeed nurous, varied in background, yet none dare to act recklessly in his presence."

He did not outright deny it but instead managed to flatter the rit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch, leaving no gaps.

Li Ya heard the denial because he knew Gu An was unpretentious, and Gu An’s disciples were quite laidback, not as strict as Xuanqing Star Lord described.

Could he have guessed wrong?

It’s true, the Heavenly Dao is vast, and Chaos is boundless, concealing unimaginable great powers, which is also normal.

Li Ya asked no more, and the other rit Immortals looked away after hearing him.

If Li Ya were acquainted with the rit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch, they would view Li Ya with newfound respect. Unfortunately, Li Ya did not have this Fuyuan.

Xuanqing Star Lord continued to narrate his interactions with the rit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch, and the rit Immortals listened attentively, imagining the image of the rit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch.

They were deeply curious about the rit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch and also eagerly awaited the day the Tianhe First Demon-Vanquishing Army returns, as the Celestial Court would be lively then.

The Xuanqing Immortal Palace was rely a microcosm of the Celestial Court, where discussions about the rit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch were also held in other Immortal Palaces and Dojos.

All the Immortal Gods understood that the rit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch would be one of the highest-ranking figures in the Celestial Court’s future, while they admired the Celestial Emperor.

Long before the previous Celestial Emperor’s reign, Chaos was already invading the Celestial Court, leaving hidden dangers. Not long after ascending the throne, the New Heavenly Emperor promoted the rit Immortal and established the position of the rit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch. Now, the rit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch has severely injured Cangming, creating unprecedented achievents, which naturally made the Immortal Gods admire the chosen Celestial Emperor.

The achievents of the rit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch benefited all the Immortal Gods, who had long been weary of Chaos’s entanglent. Furthermore, once the Celestial Court triumphed, unimaginable resources would be captured, and the Heavenly Court Immortals would be blessed.

The Tianhe First Demon-Vanquishing Army had not yet returned, yet Gu An was preparing to break through.

Despite having comprehensive knowledge of Chaos, he still chose to believe in lifespan breakthroughs.

He stood on the cliff of Inch Island, from where he could see the figures of the True Yuan Ancestor and Xuanwu, quietly activating the lifespan breakthrough function.

[You activate the lifespan breakthrough function, and based on your current realm, the following breakthrough locations have been selected for you]

[One, Chaos Innate Tower]

[Two, Ancient Hongng]

[Three, Great Darkness Borderless Domain]

[Four, Origin Dao Sea]

[Five, Reincarnation Heaven Cliff]

[Six, True Extre Dao Universe]

[Seven, Endless Terminal]

[Eight, Dao Yu Yuan Mountain]

[Nine, Ancestor Saint Tomb]

Upon seeing the list of prompts before him, Gu An raised an eyebrow slightly, as he had already reached the Primordial Taiyi True Saint Realm Perfect, and there were still so many places available for a breakthrough.

The nine options were given by the evolution ability and did not an only these nine places.

It seed realms beyond the Saint had been born before.

Gu An contemplated and decided to choose Ancient Hongng, as the places chosen for lifespan breakthroughs were absolutely safe, and perhaps he could also observe the past of Hongng from this place.

He imdiately made a choice and simultaneously stepped to the other end of the Human World, standing alone in a forest.

[To teleport to Ancient Hongng, it requires consuming 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 years of lifespan, do you wish to continue]

Ten quadrillion years!

That’s quite a lot, and it’s just for teleportation.

But no matter, this expenditure is rely one-thousandth of his lifespan.

Gu An chose to continue.

Imdiately, he closed his eyes as the familiar dizziness returned.

Only this ti, the duration was longer than any previous lifespan breakthrough.

He patiently waited, gradually sensing a chill.

After a while, he slowly opened his eyes, and what greeted him was the boundless Red Sky Vault. He stood in the air looking down, finding no land below, and seeing no end in any direction.

There were no stars, no oceans, and no creatures, yet nurous clouds and mist were visible.

Is this Ancient Hongng?

Gu An squinted his eyes as his Holy Thought spread out, exploring the Ancient Hongng.

The Ancient Hongng was indeed lifeless; there was no spiritual energy here, but it was filled with a special power, akin to the power of the Great Dao, yet distinctly different.

As he continued to observe, vast cause and effect appeared before his eyes, allowing him to understand the origins of Ancient Hongng.

This place did not belong to the ti and space under the Dao Rules; it was a much more distant place, inaccessible to any creature.

The birth of Ancient Hongng was directly related to Hongng; it was like a reflection of Hongng. When Hongng evolved to a certain stage, another Hongng would be born outside the Great Dao.

It is terd Ancient Hongng because this piece of Hongng once suffered an attack from a certain power.

Gu An carefully deduced and discovered that Ancient Hongng was not invaded but coexisted with Hongng. When Hongng perishes, it perishes.

Hongng had no creatures, and so it did not have creatures. The fact that it’s still here indicates that Hongng had not been completely extinguished.

Gu An had visited the Hongng Great World before.

The Celestial Emperor seized Hongng Destiny to create the Heavenly Dao, but the place where the Heavenly Dao resided was not Hongng; Hongng was suppressed at a deeper level.

With Gu An’s current cultivation level, he could naturally stand in the Heavenly Dao and capture Hongng.

Crossing Yin and Yang, one can reach Hongng.

Though Hongng had no creatures, it had birthed so wills, existing in another form.

The existence of Ancient Hongng depended on another power, an equivalent force to the Great Dao, which restrained the Great Dao.

It was because of this force that Gu An could perform a breakthrough here.

Gu An found he could indeed probe into everything that had happened in Hongng through Ancient Hongng.

The existence of Hongng spanned a far longer epoch than the Heavenly Dao, and deducing everything about Hongng required ti, though breaking through was more important than this.

Gu An gathered his spirit, sitting cross-legged while bringing up his attribute panel.

[Na: Gu An]

[Lifespan: 794,003,423/120,187,631,229,000,435,227,409]

[Physique: Creation Eternal Life]

[Cultivation Level: Primordial Taiyi True Saint Realm Perfect]

...

1.2 decillion years lifespan!

Enough for him to break through!

The past breakthrough to Primordial Taiyi True Saint cost nearly five hundred sextillion years, but now, with his lifespan more than a hundredfold over, he was full of confidence.

Gu An focused directly on his cultivation level and began to invest lifespan.
