Chapter 1091: Chapter 1082: Motives

After leaving the Palace of the Polestar, Xuanqing Star Monarch still felt somewhat dazed.

The heavy responsibility given to him by the Celestial Emperor imposed immense pressure on him. The Celestial Emperor had imparted the method of becoming a Saint to so many people, yet the Celestial Emperor’s Saint Realm remained unstable, leaving behind irreparable injuries.

Xuanqing Star Monarch looked again at the pristine Heavenly Realm and suddenly felt that the foundation of the Celestial Court was steeped in sorrow. Since ancient times, the Celestial Court seemed always able to turn danger into safety, but how many Celestial Emperors have been sacrificed?

Those corrupted Immortal Gods lament the unfeeling nature of the Heavenly Dao, but whose sacrifices compare to that of the Celestial Emperor?

Xuanqing Star Monarch still remembered the appearance of the Celestial Emperor before ascending the throne—a young man in high spirits, exuding vigorous ambition, full of anticipation for everything.

The current Celestial Emperor appeared domineering and majestic, yet seemed indistinct from past Celestial Emperors, having lost his own character, becoming an Emperor solely devoted to the Heavenly Dao, with so-called cold indifference being a form of compassion for all living beings.

If the Celestial Emperor were to grow close to the Immortal Gods, it would mean calamity for all living beings.

Reflecting on the past, Xuanqing Star Monarch suddenly felt that the perpetuity of the Heavenly Dao was not due to justice, but the heartfelt and exhausting efforts of successive Celestial Emperors.

Intuition told Xuanqing Star Monarch that the next Celestial Emperor was about to emerge.

With a heavy heart, Xuanqing Star Monarch left this layer of heaven.

…

After staying in the village for three days, Gu An and the Great Profound Yin Dominator departed. Before leaving, Gu An left an Immortal Cultivation Technique for Zhou Qiao, which left him bewildered.

Back in Central Heaven, the two walked among the mountains and fields. The Great Profound Yin Dominator curiously asked, “How do you intend to arrange this Saint?”

He was unfamiliar with Zhou Qiao’s true nature, but anyone coming to the Heavenly Dao was certainly not benign.

Such a Saint—if not extinguished, what purpose would they serve by being kept?

Was it to test the younger generations of the Heavenly Dao?

Gu An, riding on a black horse, lazily replied, “Let’s observe his actions in the future. If he commits more injustices, I will clean up the mess myself. If his heart leans towards goodness, then the path of the Great Dao is open to him.”

The Great Profound Yin Dominator pondered these words, believing Gu An was hinting something to him.

After the extermination of the Saint Venerable of Punishment, he indeed harbored some fear and concern for Gu An, afraid that Gu An’s moodiness might lead to his own demise over a simple disagreement.

Even though he doubted the death of the Saint Venerable of Punishment, he dared not gamble, maximizing his caution towards Gu An, believing himself safer that way.

Suddenly, the Hongqian Ancestor appeared in front of the black horse, incidentally taking hold of the reins. He turned his head and remarked, “Master, did you witness the battle between the Celestial Emperor and the Saint Venerable of Punishment?”

He was very excited about that battle of Saints; even though he had only seen some vague scenes, they still left him thrilled.

“Watched for a while.”

Gu An casually replied, at which Hongqian Ancestor immediately began to describe what he had seen and heard.

As one at the Ultimate Merging Dao Venerable Emperor Realm Perfection, nothing fascinated him more than the Saint Realm.

That battle of Saints lasted many years, providing the Lingxiao Daoist with numerous insights. At Hongqian Ancestor’s current realm, he didn’t need to enter seclusion for enlightenment; even while holding the reins for Gu An, he could digest those insights.

Now, he eagerly awaited Gu An’s insights, as someone who surpassed ordinary Saints, Gu An’s words would surely enlighten him.

However, Gu An offered no evaluation, leading Hongqian Ancestor to become increasingly uncertain as he spoke.

Finally, he stopped and asked, “Master, could there be a greater disaster from this event?”

Could the Saint Venerable of Punishment make a comeback?

He felt it was very possible. Although he didn’t know how the Celestial Emperor returned, he sensed the Saint Venerable of Punishment growing stronger.

Besides the Saint Venerable of Punishment, there was also the Luoxu Saint Venerable who disturbed the Celestial Court.

He couldn’t help but glance at Gu An, wondering if this eminent existence would also feel pressured facing more and more Saints.

Hearing his inner thought, the Great Profound Yin Dominator couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“You worm, what are you thinking? The Saint Venerable of Punishment you revere was already swatted to death by the master, I witnessed it personally.”

The Great Profound Yin Dominator spoke in a disdainful tone. At this moment, his mindset completely changed, returning to his usual disposition, no longer anxious, even forgetting his previous sympathy for the Saint Venerable of Punishment.

Hearing his words, Hongqian Ancestor was momentarily stunned.

“How…”

Subconsciously, Hongqian Ancestor wanted to question, but the next word couldn’t come out, because he had witnessed Gu An suppressing the Great Profound Yin Dominator.

He was instantly overwhelmed by shock.

The grand figure of the Saint Venerable of Punishment couldn’t be dispelled from his mind; he couldn’t imagine such a being getting swatted to death, what a sight it would be.

“Yes, just like swatting a fly, the master swatted him dead. At that time, we were even drinking with mortals; the master tapped the table, and the Saint Venerable of Punishment lay on it, so tiny. I saw his expression, he couldn’t accept the reality.”

The Great Profound Yin Dominator continued, with a tone full of mockery, making Hongqian Ancestor completely bewildered.

Gu An looked ahead silently, his attention focused on Zhang Buku and Xu You. These two, it must be said, were ill-fated, once again caught in the sights of the Saints.

However, Zhang Buku would not be swayed; knowing Gu An was part of the Heavenly Court Immortals, he would never again oppose the Heavenly Court.

Thus, Zhang Buku prepared to bide his time, unaware that Saints could perceive human intentions.

Now, Gu An had already witnessed over ten Saints plotting with the Heavenly Dao.

They secretly searched for the Hongmeng Will, aiming to seek opportunities to surpass Saints.

Of course, for them, as long as they could enhance their cultivation level, it was a boon; surpassing Saints was merely a fantasy.

They had extensive life spans; they had indulged in bliss; they even forgot what danger felt like, not fearing the consequences of failure in the Heavenly Dao.

They came to the Heavenly Dao not out of obsession, but more as a form of amusement.

Their amusement might endanger the living beings of a realm in the Dao Universe, but they didn’t care.

Life, to them, had lost its meaning, for in their eyes, all living beings were destined to die, destined to fade, good and evil no longer their standard of conduct.

“Master, does the Celestial Emperor know about this?”

After calming down, Hongqian Ancestor couldn’t help but ask.

Gu An replied, “He does not.”

Upon hearing this, Hongqian Ancestor suddenly suspected that the Celestial Emperor’s safe return was likely due to assistance from the master behind the scenes.

“No need to overthink, discovering the method of becoming a Saint is what you should contemplate now. You are most likely to become the third Saint of Chaos.”

Gu An leisurely stated, these words filled Hongqian Ancestor with enthusiasm, instantly igniting his fighting spirit.

“I will absolutely not disappoint your expectations!” Hongqian Ancestor immediately promised.

The Great Profound Yin Dominator’s mood was suddenly displeased.

The thought of such a character becoming a Saint, sharing his realm, made him uncomfortable.

He could even imagine Hongqian Ancestor’s demeanor once he became a Saint.

“No, I mustn’t stop!”

The Great Profound Yin Dominator silently vowed, recalling that Gu An had once mentioned being able to guide him to surpass Saints.

Looking back, he suspected that Chaos was opened up by Gu An, and those traces of opportunities were intentionally set by Gu An, luring Saints into the game.

It remains unknown what this mighty existence truly sought.
