Chapter 150: Red Dust Karma Not Severed, Meet Again in Immortal Domain Someday

~15 min read 2,969 words

Inside the Immortal Ascension Passage.

The Qilin Ancient Emperor, Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor, and the other Four Great Supremes had already passed through, truly stepping into the Strange World.

Even though they were former Provers of the Dao, when they truly arrived at this realm and perceived the divine mystery and extraordinariness of being within it, they still found it difficult to suppress the excitement and joy in their hearts!

Ultimately, longevity was within sight, and even becoming an immortal was not impossible; moreover, their own sons and daughters had come along as well, which could be called the utmost fortune!

Among them.

Huo Lin'er had already awakened, because the fluctuations in the surroundings were too terrifying; even though the Qilin Ancient Emperor ferried them across with Dao Principles to protect them, they were still inevitably awakened.

Of course, at this time her age was not very great; water-blue long hair, from within the Divine Source, like a porcelain doll.

But even so, one could still vaguely see that once she grew a bit older, she would certainly be a peerless beauty of unparalleled grace; this too was a manifestation of bloodline.

"Father!"

Along with a voice carrying trembling, carrying a crying tone, containing both sadness and joy, Huo Lin'er, carrying the Divine Source, threw herself into the Qilin Ancient Emperor's embrace, overjoyed to the point of tears, excited to the extreme.

On an occasion like this, a trace of awkwardness inevitably flashed through the Qilin Ancient Emperor's eyes.

However, he ultimately let out a light sigh, then unsealed the Divine Source, held his daughter in his arms, a gentle expression on his face.

Even as a former supreme Taigu Emperor who once possessed Supreme Majesty.

And after such a long separation of countless years, at this moment, he ultimately was merely a kind father who could not bear to part with his child.

……

The Four Great Supremes and the others all turned their bodies, gazing toward the direction of the Immortal Ascension Passage, quietly waiting.

Huang, who is the Dacheng Holy Body in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, at this moment had long since shed the golden hair originally covering his whole body, revealing his true appearance.

This is a martial man with black hair draped over his shoulders; although mixed with several dozen strands of white hair, he still could not conceal that peerless heroic bearing.

His sword eyebrows slant upward into his temples, his face like knife-carved, incomparably resolute, his body sturdy; he is a Human Race Supreme Hero of majestic figure in ancient history!

Huang's life, in fact, was like Gu Xuan and the Void Great Emperor, a lifetime of conquest, nearly draining all the blood from his body.

Back then, if not for the Ruthless Great Emperor's arrival, he would have truly completely perished, and the Ruthless Great Emperor ultimately still let him survive.

This moment.

At the time of imminent departure, Huang ultimately still could not restrain himself.

Tall and majestic as he was, he turned his body, facing the Ruthless Great Emperor, cupped his hands, prostrated himself in a grand salute.

"Great Emperor, this farewell, hope you take care... and may the Great Emperor's heart's desires be fulfilled!"

From Huang's mouth came a deep yet clear voice.

Outsiders might not understand the meaning of his last sentence, but Gu Xuan, Wu Shi, and the others knew deeply.

Obviously.

Huang also clearly knew, the Empress's transformation and nirvana life after life over these hundreds of thousands of years, in the end, was waiting for whom.

And the next moment.

The Empress lightly sighed, even wearing a ghost face mask that seemed both crying and laughing, could not conceal her peerless beauty and dust-free elegance.

And at this very moment, her eternally beautiful, cold, calm, and tranquil face finally showed a trace of being moved; a fleeting brilliance flashed in her eyes.

"Go, if fate allows, we will meet again."

She spoke for the first time, her voice clear and cold, yet also possessing a magnetic quality; if not for her lack of sentiment, it would be like heavenly sound, extremely moving.

This scene shook everyone, even the Void Great Emperor and the Chaos Ancient Emperor in the Strange World were the same.

As junior Human Race Great Emperors, how could they not know what an arrogantly ancient and peerless existence this Empress was, yet now she also had such a side.

In fact.

Only a Human Race Peerless Hero like Huang could make the Empress be like this.

And after all, the Empress once saved his life back then, owing him a great debt of gratitude; moreover, from a certain perspective, Huang also counted as the Empress's "Guardian of the Mountain" for hundreds of thousands of years.

Finally.

Huang bowed once more to the Empress, then saluted Gu Xuan, to express gratitude.

Afterward he stepped into the Strange World, standing together with the Void Great Emperor and the others, because in the past the two had already discussed the Dao, counting as acquaintances.

Next was Dacheng Holy Body Xu Lie.

After bitter cultivation and self-sealing for tens of thousands of years at the Holy Cliff Dao Chang, his Dao Xing had long since far surpassed that of the former Holy Body Great Perfection.

That day, he was able to, with one person's power, defeat the two strongest Dacheng Tyrant Bodies of the Tyrant Body Ancestor Star; this is proof, he was no longer the original Wheel Treasure Holy Body with an extremely tragic fate in the original trajectory.

Placed in any No-Emperor Era in ancient history, he would be an undisputed Current Era Supreme!

However.

This moment, he too was like Huang, bowing deeply to Gu Xuan in a grand farewell salute, because he was truly grateful for Gu Xuan's grace of rebirth, then was lifted up by a gentle Dao Principle.

Walking last was Di Li Si; she even kowtowed to Gu Xuan, paying thanks with the supreme grand salute.

Because without Gu Xuan's extending a helping hand, she would have already passed away in the depths of the starry sky tens of thousands of years ago, fundamentally impossible to pursue Wu Shi, let alone have today's opportunity.

And as the Wu Shi Great Emperor's Dao Companion, she walked at the end of the formation, waiting for the Wu Shi Great Emperor to finish supporting the Breakpoint, to step into the Strange World together with him.

At her side were several large Divine Sources, within which were sealed Little Black Dog, Gu Tian Shu, and others, all drawn by her Supreme Treasure Bracelet.

This moment.

Little Black Dog, who is the future Black Emperor, for some reason woke up from the Divine Source, opening a pair of eyes like black gems.

Its fur black and glossy, even appearing oily and slick; one look and you could tell it had gotten no small amount of Gift from the Wu Shi Great Emperor.

Or perhaps, this dog didn't know how many Medicine Kings it had nibbled in Purple Mountain.

And not only that.

Despite carrying a few points of timidity, the Black Emperor still held its shiny black eyes wide, curiously sizing up all directions.

Even, perhaps because it was following its mistress Di Li Si, and its master Wu Shi Great Emperor was not far ahead, the Black Emperor's courage was also a few points greater than usual.

He was very curious, looking at the Immortal Ascension Passage, then looking at the Strange World ahead.

In the end, he even glanced at Gu Xuan behind him, and even at the Ruthless Great Emperor.

However, upon seeing the Ruthless Great Emperor, the Black Emperor involuntarily shivered, as if startled by her terrifying Qi presence.

Such a manner, while showing the Black Emperor's boldness and agility, also made him appear somewhat sordid.

In a trance, this dog's greed and shamelessness, black-heartedness and obscenity, even though he is now only in his juvenile period, already reveal a slight trace.

Of course, this is not a true manifestation, but merely a strand of feeling Gu Xuan himself vaguely sensed, for only he knows this big black dog's supreme quality.

Therefore.

At this moment, in the depths of Gu Xuan's eyes, a trace of strangeness and playful interest couldn't help but flash.

"Dao Friend Wu Shi, I observe this dog has karma with me; why not leave him behind, to follow me and achieve immortality in this realm?"

Gu Xuan spoke, a trace of humorous brilliance flashing in his eyes, and this naturally was also seen by Wu Shi and Di Li Si.

Of course.

Because the Black Emperor was startled by the Ruthless Female Emperor, he naturally did not discover this point.

Even though Wu Shi, as the Current Era Great Emperor, in the world's eyes has always cut a majestic figure with incomparable prestige, at this moment inside the Immortal Passage, his expression also contained a smile.

And he also cooperated very well with Gu Xuan, smiling and nodding, speaking in reply: "Since Senior shows such favor, so favoring Little Black, that is truly Little Black's supreme honor."

"Woof!"

The juvenile Black Emperor frightenedly shivered, subconsciously wanting to desperately struggle within the Divine Source, wishing to rush toward the Wushi Great Emperor's direction.

But unfortunately at this time, his cultivation was too low; within the Divine Source he fundamentally could not move, at most making an incomparably anxious expression.

And seeing he could not move, he desperately struggled again, wanting to hug Di Li Si's wrist, begging his mistress to speak for him; of course this also naturally could not succeed, blocked by the Divine Source.

"Great Emperor, I want to follow you, don't abandon me..."

Finally, the Black Emperor let out a miserable cry; he had obviously already awakened spiritual wisdom long ago, naturally he could speak, only just now he was anxious to a certain degree.

Such a scene, seen by the Void Great Emperor, Chaos Ancient Great Emperor, and even the Qilin Ancient Emperor and others, all couldn't help but smile.

For they obviously had long understood, this was merely Gu Xuan's momentary joke.

Even the Female Emperor on the other side had the corners of her mouth slightly curved; having reached her height, many matters are instantly perceived, like ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers, all minute details in view.

And although she is proud and cold, she is ultimately not a heartless, ruthless person; it is merely due to a certain lifelong obsession that she appears slightly so.

And the Black Emperor is also ultimately extremely clever, immediately knowing from the atmosphere under the starry sky that the Saint Emperor was merely joking with him.

Finally.

Amidst the Black Emperor's howl, he was scooped up by Di Li Si with her hand, dog and Divine Source together, held in her palm, clearly intending to bring him along.

And Wu Shi also looked at him with a smile; now the Black Emperor was completely at ease.

A small farce, passed in the blink of an eye.

More importantly, Void, Chaos Ancient and others, from Gu Xuan's words, learned a certain piece of information.

The previous sentence, "... why not leave him behind, to follow me and achieve immortality in this realm?", the meaning was already very obvious.

And the Ruthless Female Emperor being on the other side of the Immortal Passage, in the Ren Yu Universe, her posture was also sufficient to explain everything.

Therefore.

Chaos Ancient couldn't help himself, simultaneously facing Gu Xuan and the Female Emperor's direction, speaking: "Two Seniors, why not come together to this realm for longevity?"

This question actually also represented the heart's voice of Void and others, although they had already anticipated this.

Gu Xuan temporarily did not reply first, but turned his head, looking at the Female Emperor, obviously meaning to let the Female Emperor reply first; this is respect for this Senior Human Race Great Emperor.

And the Female Emperor gently shook her head, expression calm, peerless immortal countenance without a ripple of waves, eyes clear as water.

And then, Gu Xuan spoke.

"Red Dust karma not severed, other day Immortal Domain meet."

His voice though not loud, transmitted through the entire Immortal Passage, even those several Imperial Path Experts of unknown local forces in the Strange World heard it, faces showing shock.

At the end of the Immortal Passage, the Wushi Great Emperor who had been supporting the breakpoint all along lightly sighed.

Although in the previous Dao discussion, he had long known Gu Xuan and the Female Emperor's decision, but truly hearing it at this moment, he still could not conceal that strand of reluctance and loss in his heart.

Since he proved the Dao and became Emperor, he has guarded the Ren Yu Universe for nearly forty thousand years, ten thousand races paying respects, honored as supreme within the universe, destroyed the Di Fu, pacified the Six Great Forbidden Zones, achievements can be said to crown past, present, and future, prestige flourishing to the extreme.

Except for the goal of reviving his parents, this one difficulty reaching the extreme.

Having Di Li Si such a peerless goddess as Dao Companion, in emotional aspects he ultimately does not leave regret like Yao Huang Xue Yue Qing.

And his parents' bodies are both preserved within the Wushi Bell, following him into the Strange World, later together entering the Immortal Domain, waiting until he cultivates to that legendary realm, perhaps he truly can revive his parents.

Only, ultimately a bosom friend is hard to find.

These tens of thousands of years, Gu Xuan and the Ruthless Great Emperor both walked to the same height as him, mutually sitting and discussing the Dao, discussing longevity, talking immortality, speaking of the Immortal Path, naturally able to mutually verify.

This is truly a rare thing.

Perhaps this farewell at this moment, unknown how many years later, before they can meet again.

Even more serious is not necessarily impossible, of course this almost will not happen.

Only, Wu Shi ultimately long knew the road Gu Xuan chose, and understood the Ruthless Great Emperor's obsession.

In fact.

Void and Chaos Ancient also long guessed this result; the previous asking, ultimately was still wanting to try once more.

Therefore, the two of them also lightly sighed, did not force it further, for this is the other party's chosen Immortal Path, the stakes are great, naturally need not be said.

Finally.

After Wu Shi received Di Li Si over, he sacrificed the Wushi Bell, replacing to continue supporting the Immortal Path breakpoint.

And then, he turned his body, eyes full of reluctance, facing Gu Xuan and the Female Emperor cupping hands, prostrating in a bow.

"Two Seniors, please take care, future day Immortal Path meet."

With Wu Shi's strength, if speaking of who in the world can make him so, I fear only Gu Xuan, Female Emperor and a few others.

Strange World Middle on the other side.

The Void Great Emperor, the Chaos Ancient Great Emperor, Xu Lie, Huang, the Qilin Ancient Emperor, Di Li Si, and the others also revealed reluctance; they likewise paid their respects, some cupping their fists, some prostrating in a bow — varied in form.

And Gu Xuan did not put on airs either; he likewise prostrated in return.

The Female Emperor was by nature rather cold and aloof; she slowly nodded, watching Wu Shi, Huang, and the others with a gaze deep and profound, yet clear as water.

Seeing you off a thousand li, ultimately there must be a farewell.

And even though Gu Xuan, Wu Shi, and the Female Emperor are all powerful to the utmost, this passage leading to the Strange World ultimately cannot be propped open like this forever; the pressure of collapse grows ever greater.

The moment of final parting, ultimately, still has to arrive.

Gu Xuan and Wu Shi simultaneously withdrew the Dao Principles propping up the passage, letting it slowly close.

In the end, the two Great Universes completely returned to closure, never to see each other again; only a faint, lingering "take care" drifted through the distance.

……

In the Human Path Universe.

Across the Heavens and Worlds, the Supreme Races and major powers in every region have long been incomparably shaken, all focusing their attention on this place at the Ying Huo Ancient Star.

Even a few bold and powerful cultivators, from several nearby Star Domains, crossed the Taiyu, arriving at the outside of this stretch of Xing Kong, wanting to probe the truth of this place.

Of course.

These people are almost all decrepit old Great Saints, old Quasi-Emperors, their white hair so sparse only a few strands remain, their eyelashes long since fallen out, with not many years left to live.

Therefore, only they dared draw near, separated by the distance of several Xing Xing, observing from afar.

Otherwise there is not a single one who would dare approach so many Ancient Emperor and Great Emperor-level existences; that is purely courting death — a mere strand of Qi mechanism leaking out would be enough to annihilate them a thousand times, ten thousand times over.

What a pity.

Relative to Imperial Path Experts, these people are still like ants; the gap is vast beyond imagination.

Their Divine Sense fundamentally cannot probe the situation occurring within the Ying Huo Ancient Star; even carrying some Probe Treasure is equally to no avail — this is a dimensional gap in essence, difficult to surmount.

This is still because Gu Xuan, the Female Emperor, and the others have no intention to kill.

For if it were some tyrannical and ferocious Taigu Royal, a mere strand of Qi mechanism alone would suffice to annihilate these old cultivators probing from afar across so many Xing Xing of distance.
