Chapter 903: Chapter 895: True Colors Revealed

“I have no discontent with him, but I also have no interest in him. The reason for not letting him ascend to immortality is that he cannot ascend. There is a cause and effect on him that you cannot see through, and the Celestial Dao Immortal Position will expose his true nature.”

Gu An looked into the distance and softly answered.

Wu Xie is the incarnation of the Daoist Emperor’s destiny, essentially a calculation against the Primordial Dao Emperor.

Even before becoming a saint, Gu An never took the Daoist Emperor seriously, so he wouldn’t interfere with Wu Xie’s growth. But if Wu Xie went to the Celestial Court, it would also be a disaster for him.

Of course, Wu Xie himself is not interested in becoming an immortal. What he cares about is Wushi’s attitude towards him. What others have, he also wants. He can refuse, but he cannot not have it.

An Zizai, upon hearing this, his face changed dramatically.

Expose his true nature?

Could it be that the Wushi catastrophe that Ancestor spoke of years ago is indeed Wu Xie?

An Zizai fell silent, digesting Ancestor’s words.

Gu An did not disturb him and continued to gaze over the world. Soon, he would leave the Celestial Spirit Great World, and now, what he saw before him were the little pieces of the past.

Although he felt a sense of emotion, he was not reluctant. Even if he left, he could return whenever he wished; it’s just that once he left, he would live in another world.

“Ancestor, what do you think I should do to console him?” An Zizai cautiously asked.

Having spent so many years together, his affection for Wu Xie had deepened, and even if Wu Xie was truly the disaster, it was hard for him to handle.

Gu An turned around, looked at An Zizai, and asked, “If you were made the master of Wushi, would you be willing to take on this responsibility?”

An Zizai as the master would inevitably favor Wu Xie, and by then, everything Wu Xie wanted would be within his grasp, naturally resolving his discontent.

However, upon hearing this, An Zizai was immediately terrified. He knelt down in a hurry and shouted anxiously, “Ancestor, you cannot abandon me. Wu Xie in my heart will never compare to you, I want to always be by your side to serve you!”

This was his true sentiment. Without Gu An, he wouldn’t have anything he has now and wouldn’t have met Wu Xie.

He was forever grateful to Ancestor, never wanting to leave Ancestor.

Moreover, he knew that following Ancestor was the right path.

Gu An looked at An Zizai and asked with a smile, “Do you truly think so?”

An Zizai nodded and said, “I truly think so.”

“Then you should choose suitable candidates to manage the Wushi because not everyone can leave with me.”

“Ancestor, how can you be sure the disciples are unwilling to follow you?”

An Zizai hesitated for a moment, then seriously spoke, noting the many disciples remaining at the Daoist Field of the Beginningless who were dedicated to the pursuit of the Dao.

Gu An planned to leave the Celestial Spirit Great World to find a different environment to live in, so he was reluctant to bring too many, but hearing An Zizai’s words, he suddenly had another idea.

His lips curled into a smile, thinking the new idea was very good and interesting.

“From now on, you can ask the disciples. When the time comes, I’ll leave with all who wish to follow me, but you must tell them that once they leave with me, they can’t come back.”

Gu An looked at An Zizai and laughed softly. An Zizai was delighted, as long as Ancestor agreed.

He immediately thanked Gu An on behalf of the other disciples, then left in a hurry.

Gu An stood on the cliff and looked for a while longer before disappearing.

That day, the news of the Ancestor leaving the Celestial Spirit Great World spread, prompting more and more disciples to gather to discuss this matter.

In the following days, the news even reached the Nine Spirit Dynasty.

The majority of disciples were born on the Nine Spirit Continent; their families and friends were on the continent. They knew how significant the Ancestor’s decision was and could not keep it a secret.

For a time, the Nine Spirit Continent was in turmoil.

In less than a year, the news spread to the entire world, shaking various sects, causing fear, concern, and excitement alike.

Regardless of how well Wushi performed, there would always be opposition and doubt.

Three years later.

That morning.

Before Gu An stepped out of his house, the courtyard was bustling with noise.

“Nonsense, hurry back!”

An Zizai’s voice was heard, and it was filled with anger.

A man’s voice followed, saying, “No way, today I must see Ancestor!”

The owner of this voice was none other than Wu Xie.

Wearing a black robe, Gu An tidied his garments and then pushed the door open. Upon entering the courtyard, he saw Wu Xie kneeling in the courtyard, facing his door.

An Zizai stood beside Wu Xie, looking furious.

Shen Zhen sat by the Artifact Refining Cauldron, curiously observing Wu Xie.

Seeing Gu An coming out, all three of them focused their gaze on Gu An. At that moment, Wu Xie’s previously firm and resolute expression became tense.

He had just exited seclusion last night and was furious upon hearing that Ancestor was leaving.

He found out later than other disciples, and it wasn’t just the second-generation disciples who knew before him—the news had spread throughout the dojo.

What did this mean?

It meant the Ancestor hadn’t considered him!

He came to the courtyard, enduring for two hours before stepping in.

An Zizai came because Shen Zhen had sent him a message.

Upon seeing Gu An, An Zizai quickly saluted, while Wu Xie gritted his teeth and stubbornly stared at Gu An.

Having joined Wushi millions of years ago, he was always nervous when meeting Ancestor; his words were stuck in his throat. This time, he didn’t want to be timid because the Ancestor was leaving!

Gu An looked at Wu Xie and asked with a smile, “Why do you need to see me?”

Seeing Gu An smile, for some reason, Wu Xie felt a sense of shame.

Could it be that Ancestor didn’t disregard him?

Upon thinking carefully, throughout these years, every time he saluted Ancestor, Ancestor would smile and nod at him.

It was because of this that even though he hadn’t received the treatment he wanted, he still remained loyal to Wushi.

“I…”

Wu Xie initially wanted to express his discontent but couldn’t bring himself to say it. He paused, then said, “Ancestor, could you take me with you wherever you go?”

“Sure.”

Gu An agreed readily, leaving Wu Xie stunned.

He thought Ancestor would question him, asking if he was prepared or ready to not return, but unexpectedly, Ancestor directly agreed to his request.

This left Wu Xie feeling like his anger was hitting a soft pillow—his heart felt empty. While he was no longer angry, he wasn’t happy either.

An Zizai hurriedly said, “Ancestor has agreed, now withdraw! Don’t disturb Ancestor’s rest!”

He reached out to pull Wu Xie, but Wu Xie didn’t get up.

Gu An looked at Wu Xie and said, “Actually, there’s no need to overthink. I didn’t see you because we lack common interests. Wushi is different from other sects; your actions won’t go unnoticed by Wushi, and I myself won’t interfere in Wushi’s matters either.”

Lack of common interests?

This reason left Wu Xie very surprised, and even An Zizai was taken aback.

Could the reason be so simple?
