Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses

Chapter 854: Chapter 846: Destiny Mission

In the darkness, Emperor Xuan sat meditating on a red lotus throne, dressed in a plain white robe, his hair disheveled and his brows furrowed, with two golden crescent moons hovering around him.

This was a suffocating void, in the depths of which faint flashes of lightning and dark red nebulae surged, resembling the end of the apocalypse, where everything had already turned to nothingness.

Emperor Xuan’s face was pale. He slowly opened his eyes, raised his right hand, and pulled open the robe on his chest, revealing tiny silver lines flowing like they were silver dragons.

The remnant power of the Myriad Dragons Ascending to Heaven was still tormenting him, making him feel that he would hardly recover in a short time.

Recalling the experience of facing the Myriad Dragons Ascending to Heaven, Emperor Xuan’s brows furrowed even tighter, his eyes full of unwillingness.

“Could it be that the Primordial Dao Emperor is stronger than the Daoist Emperor?”

Emperor Xuan muttered to himself, his tone filled with confusion.

He could sense that An Zizai was the Primordial Dao Emperor, and as someone who cultivated both the Daoist Emperor and another, he was dividing his focus into two different destinies, whereas An Zizai could channel all his energy into one Great Dao Destiny.

In fact, earlier, he had sensed that the Primordial Dao Emperor’s destiny had suddenly become much stronger, but the Daoist Emperor’s way of cultivating through combat was much to his liking.

Now, he was wavering again, feeling that his dual cultivation of the Daoist Emperor might be an unwise move.

“Who says the Primordial Dao Emperor is stronger than the Daoist Emperor?”

A cold and hoarse voice echoed, startling Emperor Xuan, who turned his head to look, seeing a dark silhouette emerging from the depths of darkness, its form human-like but incredibly large, lightning flickering behind it, red clouds surging, making it appear even more terrifying.

Emperor Xuan squinted and asked, “Who are you?”

“It doesn’t matter who I am. What’s important is that you need to know there is no Great Dao Destiny that can compare to the Daoist Emperor. Your failure is not due to the Daoist Emperor but because your killing intent is not strong enough.”

Upon hearing the words, Emperor Xuan mocked, “Can the Daoist Emperor be compared to the Celestial Dao Immortal Gods?”

“The Celestial Dao Immortal Gods rely on the power of the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao cannot grant them true power. Once the Heavenly Dao takes back the power given to them, they will be reduced to their original form.”

This reply from the mysterious figure made Emperor Xuan regard him with more respect, realizing he was not blindly arrogant.

Emperor Xuan was not of mortal origin; he had long understood the Heavenly Court Immortals, and even knowing the truth didn’t hinder his curiosity about the Heavenly Dao.

Although he did not deny the other’s words, Emperor Xuan remained vigilant towards the mysterious figure.

More importantly, the other gave him an eerie feeling, one that he rarely experienced, the last existence that made him feel this way was an ancestor of an Emperor Clan.

Their coming was certainly not to persuade him to believe the Daoist Emperor was the strongest!

“Do you only respect the power of the Daoist Emperor alone?” Emperor Xuan asked, simultaneously secretly employing his cultivation technique to restore himself as much as possible, ready to escape at any moment.

Regardless of whether he was injured, even in peak condition, he was afraid he couldn’t defeat this person.

The mysterious figure stood in the depths of darkness, unmoving, with eyes seemingly piercing through time and space, watching Emperor Xuan.

“I came to find you because you are the most promising person on the Daoist Emperor’s path. I am guided by the Daoist Emperor and will grant you greater power. However, you have just happened to be frustrated and waver in your Dao Heart, which displeases me. Being defeated is not terrifying; what’s terrifying is that you don’t reflect on yourself but instead crave your enemy’s power.”

The words from the mysterious figure made Emperor Xuan’s brows tighten, rendering him unable to refute. He believed the Daoist Emperor was inferior to the Primordial Dao Emperor, simply because he felt An Zizai’s Primordial Dao Emperor was stronger?

“The Daoist Emperor and Primordial Dao Emperor will eventually clash, as these two Great Dao Destinies fundamentally conflict. You’d better abandon the Primordial Dao Emperor.”

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuan was immediately displeased. He coldly snorted, “What right do you have to interfere with my choice? I choose the Daoist Emperor, not to become a puppet of the Daoist Emperor. From your words, it seems the Daoist Emperor is no different from the Celestial Dao Immortal Gods, only not as mighty as the Heavenly Dao.”

“I won’t interfere with your choice, just advise you. When the Daoist Emperor and Primordial Dao Emperor wage war, destinies will devour each other. Having two destinies will cause backlash upon you, leading to your downfall. Whether choosing the Daoist Emperor or the Primordial Dao Emperor, you need to plan early.”

The mysterious figure’s reply made Emperor Xuan calm down again.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Xuan asked, “Who exactly are you?”

The mysterious figure suddenly raised a hand, and a terrifying blood wind rushed towards him, causing his eyes to widen, plunging him into a trance.

Emperor Xuan’s pupils reflected a series of battle scenes, rapidly shifting, as blood-red Dao Patterns gradually emerged on his forehead, like blades clashing.

Not knowing how long had passed, Emperor Xuan gradually came to his senses, his vision clear, as if waking from a dream, taking deep breaths while clenching his right hand over his chest.

He looked down, discovering the residual strength from the Myriad Supreme Palm had dissipated, his state had unexpectedly returned to its peak.

Emperor Xuan’s gaze became complex. The recent memory truly let him understand what the Daoist Emperor was and why the Daoist Emperor was born.

“Since the Daoist Emperor has such origins, what about the Primordial Dao Emperor?” Emperor Xuan gazed at the distant mysterious figure and asked in a deep tone.

“The Primordial Dao Emperor was merely created by a cultivator without any mission. He hoped to strengthen himself with this destiny, and one day the Daoist Emperor will find the creator, but to annihilate all Primordial Dao Emperors will require every Daoist Emperor’s action, including mine. I have traveled the furthest on the Daoist Emperor’s path, but you have the hope to surpass me. I don’t want you to hesitate or even take the wrong path.”

The mysterious figure’s words enlightened Emperor Xuan.

No wonder he suddenly felt the Primordial Dao Emperor had grown stronger. Upon reflection, it was because the creator had made a breakthrough.

Thinking that the Primordial Dao Emperor was backed by a cultivator made him feel awkward, just like he couldn’t imagine the Heavenly Dao was some entity’s will, then wouldn’t all living beings be mockeries of the existence behind the Heavenly Dao?

“Think carefully, I await your choice.”

After saying this, the mysterious figure turned and disappeared.

Emperor Xuan remained seated on the red lotus, quietly contemplating.

…

Millions of years had passed since Emperor Xuan’s defeat, and the world had forgotten him, with new figures capturing everyone’s attention.

This year, Wushi once again welcomed a new group of disciples, their mentors bringing them to pay respects to An Zizai.

Every new disciple must face the first disciple, it’s customary, every generation of Wushi disciples must adhere to it.

In the grand hall, a group of Wushi disciples gathered together, laughing and talking, while the new disciples stood in a row facing An Zizai, diverse in seniority but similar in age.

Their mentors weren’t thinking much, all mutually complimenting each other’s judgment.

An Zizai surveyed these new disciples, his gaze suddenly resting on a black-clad youth among them, he narrowed his eyes, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
