Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses-Chapter 783 - 775: The Myth of Ancestor Master Wushi

Chapter 783 -775: The Myth of Ancestor Master Wushi

“Indeed, it has dissipated.”

The Demon Suppressing Great True Emperor spoke, the light emanating from his divine armor revealing the complex emotions on his face.

The Celestial Spirit God, Taiyi Immortal Monarch, and other Immortal Gods speculated that it was Gu An who acted. But how long had it been?

They hadn’t even felt the disturbance or aura of the great battle, and the Dark God was gone?

The Demon Suppressing Great True Emperor glanced at the Immortals and asked, “It seems there is a Great Power hidden within the Celestial Spirit Great World. Do you know who it is?”

These words made some Immortal Gods look a bit unnatural. Being Immortals yet serving Mortal Spirits, even if the other’s cultivation level was profound and unfathomable, if word got to the Celestial Court, trouble might arise.

Taiyi Immortal Monarch shook his head and said, “If we knew, we wouldn’t have sought aid from the Celestial Court. Speaking of, the Eternal Life Venerable once visited, perhaps he came to see this Great Power.”

Eternal Life Venerable!

The Demon Suppressing Great True Emperor’s eyes changed slightly. He and the Eternal Life Venerable were both Supreme Immortals. Although they were not close, they had interacted.

For the Supreme Immortal to visit, whether that Great Power had ties to the Celestial Court or not, it was best not to get involved.

Having stayed in the Celestial Court for countless years, he knew one thing: Immortal Gods should only perform their Immortal duties. Once they get involved in matters beyond their duties, trouble easily follows.

“Since the calamity has ended, there is no need for me to act.”

The Demon Suppressing Great True Emperor left these words then turned and walked into the World Gate, the Immortal Gods all saluted him, respectfully seeing him off.

Before leaving, the Demon Suppressing Great True Emperor’s divine sense swept across the Celestial Spirit Great World, but he did not find the location of the Daoist Field of the Beginningless. However, the words of the masses got his attention.

Ancestor Master Wushi?

Interesting!

After the strong light within the World Gate faded, the Immortal Gods finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Celestial Spirit God looked at Taiyi Immortal Monarch, and sighed, “Immortal Monarch, you remain composed.”

Taiyi Immortal Monarch smiled and said, “The higher the Immortal Position, the more an Immortal God fears trouble. Only a few take risks; I am an example. Greed almost led me to eternal doom.”

The Seventy-Two Immortals of Jin Dong and Emperor Tianhong both nodded, very agreeing with this perception.

The Heavenly Court Immortal Gods disdain Mortal Spirits, but those who may attract Immortal God attention often have intricate connections with the Celestial Court.

Even Gu An is no exception; he is the mentor of the Son of Heaven.

“Let’s cover the cause and effect of this realm first. At least don’t let the name of the elder spread to other Great Thousand Worlds, just let the beings of this realm remember.” Taiyi Immortal Monarch ordered.

Unconsciously, he had already become the backbone of this group of Immortal Gods. The Seventy-Two Immortals of Jin Dong were originally his subordinates, and the Celestial Spirit God also respected him over time. As for Emperor Tianhong, he always prioritized Gu An, supporting anything beneficial to Gu An.

…

The news that the Dark God was exterminated by the Ancestor Master Wushi spread wildly across the land, shocking all who heard it.

The Dark Divine Sect had overshadowed the Celestial Spirit Great World for too long, so long that the beings believed them to be invincible. The Immortal Cultivation Realm was even more shaken, understanding better the strength of the Dark Divine Sect.

Many versions of the Ancestor Master Wushi’s extermination of the Dark God were disseminated.

Some said the Ancestor Master Wushi killed the Dark God with a single sword, some said they fought tens of thousands of rounds, with the Dark God ultimately suffering a crushing defeat, and some said the Dark God turned to ash upon a mere glare from the Ancestor Master Wushi.

In these legends, Li Ya and the Demon Emperor were repeatedly mentioned. Li Ya was the first to blockade the Dark Heavenly God from summoning the Dark God. Even though he did not ultimately succeed, he was worthy of the title of the world’s greatest Sword Cultivator.

The Demon Emperor, being within the Dark Divine Sect, chose to sacrifice himself, his spirit and courage shaking the beings of the world. Even the Nine Major Sects no longer had the face to slander him; they ceased entangling with the Demon Emperor.

The Demon Race was greatly invigorated. In the past salvational legends, there was no trace of demons, but this time the Demon Emperor brought glory to the Demon Race. Some even said the Demon Emperor moved the Ancestor Master Wushi to take action.

Within the Beginningless, there were humans and demons. The Beginningless never participated in struggles, only taking action when the world was in peril, recognized as a Holy Land.

The world became lively. With the dissolution of the Dark Divine Sect, various sects and dynasties began reclaiming lost lands, expanding territories.

Great Powers from various sects emerged to preach, often recounting the stories of the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable, increasing the reverence and yearning among cultivators for the Ancestor Master Wushi.

As the stories of the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable were unearthed, the status of the Beginningless in the minds of the beings rose higher and higher.

It had been fifty years since the Dark God was exterminated.

This year, in spring, Gu An came to the Gathering Flower Sect to see Jiang Qiong.

During the chaotic years of the Dark Divine Sect, the Gathering Flower Sect could only barely protect its mountain gate. Now, with the disbandment of the Dark Divine Sect, the Gathering Flower Sect started establishing connections with various sects, and trades and discussions flourished, leading to a scene of prosperity.

“Quickly tell me, what exactly happened at that time? What was the Dark God like? Did he have three heads and six arms?”

In a small pavilion, Jiang Qiong, while pouring wine for Gu An, urged eagerly.

She wore a wide white robe, her black hair freely cascading to her waist, her skin as white as solidified cream, even glowing under the sunlight. Her beauty was unmatched, combining with her aura of an enlightened master, making her seem not like a mortal woman, carrying an air of profound depth.

Gu An immediately began recounting the situation then, “That day, the sky darkened, lightning flashed, and thunder roared. Those involved in the battle knelt in despair. I originally did not want to intervene, trusting that the heavens had their own destiny. Yet, I couldn’t bear it in my heart…”

Jiang Qiong listened intently, not minding Gu An’s embellishments but rather enjoying it greatly.

When Gu An mentioned that he used Li Ya’s sword to kill the Dark God, Jiang Qiong burst into laughter. She knew Li Ya, aware that the world’s greatest Sword Cultivator valued his reputation highly. Being saved by his junior again, his expression must have been spectacular.

When Gu An finished, Jiang Qiong still felt unsatisfied, thinking it wasn’t enough.

Gu An began tasting the Gathering Flower Sect’s snacks.

Jiang Qiong suddenly asked, “What is the origin of the Dark God? It is said his Dark Heavenly Gods once defeated Immortal Gods.”

To Great Cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, Immortal Gods were not mere legends. Taiyi Immortal Monarch and other Immortal Gods had wandered the Human World, confirming for cultivators the existence of Immortal Gods.

Gu An pretended to ponder and said, “This involves an ancient secret history. I don’t know if I should tell you, I fear bringing trouble upon you.”

Jiang Qiong widened her beautiful eyes and grumbled, “My mouth is tight, unlike your disciples who would travel far. I will stay in the Celestial Spirit Great World until you decide to leave.”

Gu An said meaningfully, “Don’t speak too hastily. If the chance to ascend to immortality were really before you, you might not be able to refuse.”

“Unless you ascend to immortality, I will never ascend.” Jiang Qiong said firmly.

Gu An listened and shook his head, smiling. Then he began to recount the Dark Heavenly Court, and upon hearing the struggle between the Celestial Emperor and the Son of Heaven, Jiang Qiong was deeply engrossed, imagining many magnificent scenes.
