Chapter 433: Chapter 296 Siege
Red Dust Immortal Sect.
Gu Yu, dressed in a scarlet Daoist robe, came before a grand hall and said loudly: “Disciple Gu Yu requests to see Master!”
The tightly closed doors of the hall abruptly opened.
Gu Yu stepped inside.
High in the hall, a figure in white sat cross-legged; his appearance was scholarly, his demeanor transcendent, like an immortal exiled to the mortal realm, harmonizing with the world. If not seen with the naked eye, it was almost impossible to sense even the slightest breath from this person.
Was Cang Yuan, Sect Master of the Red Dust Immortal Sect.
As Gu Yu entered the hall, Cang Yuan opened his eyes and smiled slightly.
“What important matter brings you here today?”
“Disciple wishes to journey to the Nine States of the Eastern Domain!”
Gu Yu said respectfully.
Hearing these words, Cang Yuan was slightly taken aback.
“The Nine States you speak of, is it not where the Divine Martial Dynasty resides?”
Upon Gu Yu’s accurate response, Cang Yuan’s expression became clear.
Even though the Red Dust Immortal Sect was far in the Central Domain, Cang Yuan had also heard of the Divine Martial Dynasty.
Because in the Nine States of the Eastern Domain, the Divine Martial Dynasty had produced a peerless expert who could kill a Great Saint while still in the Semi-Saint Realm, which in any era could rival a young Great Emperor.
For such a powerful figure, Cang Yuan naturally could not be completely ignorant.
Gu Yu said, “Disciple has received news that the Star Dynasty intends to march on Nine States to destroy the Divine Martial Dynasty. Having been favored by the Divine Martial Dynasty in the past, upon learning of this, I cannot stand idly by.
However, Master can rest assured that this matter will be handled solely by the disciple, and the sect will not be implicated!”
Cang Yuan said with a hint of surprise: “Although the Red Dust Immortal Sect is not a top-tier sect, it does not fear a mere Star Dynasty. Since the Divine Martial Dynasty has shown you kindness, both emotionally and logically, you ought to go there.
This way, you can also resolve a bit of karma!”
“Therefore, on your journey to the Divine Martial Dynasty, I will assign two elders to accompany and guard you. You may act under the banner of the Red Dust Immortal Sect, but how to proceed will be up to your own discretion!”
Gu Yu’s face was full of gratitude. The Red Dust Immortal Sect, as a sect in the Central Domain, willing to involve itself in the affairs of the Eastern Domain for him, spoke volumes.
As for the Red Dust Immortal Sect only sending two elders without a large force, Gu Yu understood the reason.
The Red Dust Immortal Sect, being a sect of the Central Domain, could not arbitrarily meddle in the Eastern Domain’s affairs.
The two elders’ company.
And allowing him to act under the Red Dust Immortal Sect’s banner.
These two points alone showed Cang Yuan’s high regard for him.
“You’ve stayed in the sect for long, never comprehending the path to the Dao Palace Realm. This journey to the Eastern Domain might give you that breakthrough.”
As Cang Yuan said this, he waved his sleeve, and a jade talisman suddenly appeared, landing before Gu Yu.
“This is a jade talisman left by a Saint of our sect in the past, containing a Saint’s strike. In the current End of Dharma Era, if you encounter danger, this jade talisman can save your life!”
Gu Yu reached out to receive the jade talisman, carefully storing it away.
He understood clearly.
Such a Supreme Treasure containing a Saint’s power needed no further explanation of its preciousness.
Even though the Red Dust Immortal Sect was wealthy, such treasures were definitely not in abundance.
Cang Yuan waved his hand, and Gu Yu bowed and withdrew.
The grand hall returned to silence.
“Innate Thunder Divine Body!”
“In this Great Struggle Prosperity Era, my Red Dust Immortal Sect must produce an invincible Great Emperor!”
Cang Yuan’s expression was serious, his eyes flowing with Dao rhythm, seemingly deducing something. Countless changes in the Great Tao appeared, and in the end, he closed his eyes, with two lines of blood tears slowly trickling down.
“The heavenly secrets are confused!”
“Still nothing can be divined.”
“This Great Struggle Prosperity Era might differ from the past; instead of prosperity, it could be a monstrous catastrophe!”
Cang Yuan reopened his eyes, which were initially filled with divine light and Dao rhythm, now showing a slight redness, as if reflecting a future scene.
Heavenly secrets are confused!
All these changes indicate that this era is not simple.
Although the Red Dust Immortal Sect is deep-rooted, facing a catastrophe sweeping the Ancient Desolate World, Cang Yuan wasn’t confident in safely weathering it.
To survive this great calamity, the Red Dust Immortal Sect must produce an invincible Great Emperor.
For an ordinary cultivator to aspire to the Great Emperor’s realm is easier said than done.
Years ago, by chance, Cang Yuan encountered Gu Yu, discovering he possessed an Innate Thunder Divine Body, and thus accepted him as a direct disciple, making him a True Inheritor of the sect.
The power of the Innate Thunder Divine Body, Cang Yuan understood well.
Gu Yu’s performance had not disappointed Cang Yuan either.
In just twenty years, he had reached the pinnacle of the Ninth Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm, a step away from breaking through to the higher Dao Palace Realm.
Though Gu Yu was in the Ninth Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm, his combat prowess could match a cultivator in the Dao Palace Realm, even surpassing some in the Second or Third Layer of the Dao Palace Realm.
The power of the Innate Thunder Divine Body had fully manifested.
Cang Yuan naturally had to cultivate with all his might.
He had a premonition.
The Red Dust Immortal Sect’s hope to survive the coming calamity lay with Gu Yu.
This was why he didn’t hesitate to use the Saint’s jade talisman.
As long as his safety could be ensured, no matter the cost to the Red Dust Immortal Sect, it would be worth it.
