Chapter 1568: Chapter 960: Gu Wa Zi’s Major Life Event_2

The majesty of the Immortal Emperor is not to be gazed upon directly; while preaching, he seems as if heaven and earth are a void, imperceptible. Even if one can sense it, it’s definitely beyond the realm’s reach.

Thus, the woman did not know that the Gu Chen before her was the same Emperor Gu who had just preached above the Nine Heavens.

Gu Chen’s attire fluttered in the wind, his voice gentle, yet he did not answer the woman’s question: "I observe your karma, an orphan with heaven and earth as your home. From today onwards, you shall stay by my side, and I will take you as my disciple."

With his words, an invisible power pierced through the place, instantly conveying the cause and effect to the woman.

Upon hearing this, a trace of joy and excitement flickered in the woman’s eyes; she never imagined she would have such heaven-defying fortune, almost unimaginable.

Immediately, she knelt on the ground, bowing before Gu Chen, her voice carrying a slight tremor: "Master above, disciple Nangong Jingxue greets with three bows."

Gu Chen gently raised his hand, indicating she needed not be overly formal.

It was his first time accepting a disciple, and a female one at that, but he felt no discomfort.

At this realm, he himself was akin to the Tao, everything as naturally flowing as water between his fingers.

"The path of cultivation is tremendously perilous; even with a master, you must exert more effort and sweat than others, walking the Great Tao alone." Gu Chen said with earnestness.

Upon hearing this, a trace of determination and persistence flashed in Nangong Jingxue’s eyes: "Disciple understands, disciple will definitely train hard, and not let Master down."

Gu Chen nodded slightly; he waved his hand, and a ray of light flew from the void, landing in his hand.

It was an ancient scripture, on its cover were four old characters - "Sky Tyrant Body".

"This is the cultivation method I’ve prepared for you; take it and carefully comprehend it." Gu Chen handed the scripture to Nangong Jingxue.

Nangong Jingxue received the scripture with both hands, like gaining a treasure, and unconsciously opened it, only to find its words obscure and difficult to understand, containing endless mysteries and power.

A mere glance made her mind ache, realizing she absolutely couldn’t look further, or her head would explode.

"Master forgot to tell you, this book cannot be read yet, even the most basic geniuses need to Ignite The Divine Fire first."

"..." Though the woman suddenly felt that her teacher might be somewhat unreliable, even internally, she dared not think anything unruly of an Immortal Emperor, and obediently nodded, signifying she understood.

"Snap."

She closed the book, carefully storing it in her bosom, afraid it would fall, despite such a possibility being unlikely, yet given her realm, good things need proper safekeeping.

Gu Chen watched Nangong Jingxue’s focused demeanor, nodding discreetly in his heart.

Though it was his first time accepting a disciple, things looked promising; this disciple, though her realm was lowly, possessed a commendable disposition.

Moreover, being compatible with the Sky Tyrant Body, as long as she persisted diligently, she was bound to achieve extraordinary feats in the future.

After the woman properly ensured the scripture’s placement, Gu Chen began softly: "Since I’ve accepted you as a disciple, I must tell you about the sect; you ought to have some understanding..."

Nangong Jingxue nodded eagerly like a bird pecking at grain.

Emperor Gu hailed from the Holy Land, who in the Immortal Domain does not know?!

"Since you already know, I won’t elaborate further." Gu Chen nodded, drawing frequent admiring glances from Nangong Jingxue.

This teacher, Emperor Gu, seemed quite amiable.

As soon as Gu Chen accepted a disciple, Jiang Hui sensed it immediately.

To his surprise, his follower’s disciple could actually skip the first step, converting directly into his follower.

Even without calculation, with eyes closed, Jiang Hui could discern the basics about Nangong Jingxue.

However, upon seeing the last column, Jiang Hui’s expression suddenly became somewhat peculiar.

Then, he revealed a mysterious smile of seasoned understanding.

Because the last column showed there was a fateful bond between this woman and Gu Wa Zi.

Though it did not elaborate on the pros and cons of their bond.

Jiang Hui silently calculated immediately.

Soon, he smiled knowingly.

A match made in heaven, unwavering unto the ends of time.

"Gu Wa Zi also possesses the ability to calculate; I wonder if he has foreseen this..." Jiang Hui suddenly pondered.

At this realm, one can instantly know past times, all that one’s current life holds, theoretically, one should see it.

Perhaps, it’s for seeing his karma with the woman that Gu Wa Zi accepted her as a disciple.

This Jiang Hui got wrong; had Gu Chen seen even a glimpse, he wouldn’t accept her as a disciple, even with her compatibility with the Sky Tyrant Body.

Such is his nature.

...

Years fade as swiftly as shuttles, and time flies like arrows. In the blink of an eye, Nangong Jingxue had trained beside Gu Chen for two years.

During these two years, under Gu Chen’s attentive instruction, her strength surged remarkably, having already Ignited The Divine Fire, and now able to study the scripture.

The only aspect perplexing the woman was how her master initially behaved quite normally.

Yet somehow, afterwards, upon seeing her, the master’s skin would suddenly flush red, like a monkey’s bottom, deliberately avoiding her gaze.

Day in and day out, bizarre occurrences.

Today, she couldn’t even find him upon visiting to pay respects.

In the cave, Gu Chen’s face was flushed, and he frequently swallowed nervously.

Logically speaking, at his level of attainment, how could he experience such anxiety and restlessness only mortals would have? However, hearing the calls of his female disciple outside the cave, he couldn’t help blushing, his heart racing, almost to the point of his neck bulging.

Until,

The sound of footsteps gradually faded away, and his rapid breaths finally returned to normal.

"Sigh..." After a long while, Gu Chen sighed deeply, his mind had never been so conflicted.

Because just now, he had tentatively deduced something about this new disciple he had just accepted.

He suddenly realized that there was indeed a kind of marriage fate between them.

And it was a predestined fate.

This left him feeling disconsolate.

He had never thought of such matters before; at the beginning, his focus was on suppressing darkness and eliminating the black disaster, but now he’s pondering how to suppress the strange...

Such life matters were far too early for him to consider.

His lifespan was endless, and there was no need for him to rush such things.

Yet, ironically, what he didn’t seek came right to him.

In the following days, Nangong Jingxue came to seek out Gu Chen a few more times but never saw him.

So she stopped coming.

This incident, however, left Gu Chen feeling an inexplicable sense of loss.

"Terrible, terrible, I’ve probably gone crazy, fell into the kind of obsession Brother Tu talked about."

Gu Chen shook his head.

He tried to force himself to calm down, but no matter what, he couldn’t quiet his mind, and the more he meditated, the more confused he felt inside.

"Forget it, what’s meant to be, will come."

A moment later, it seemed like he had figured something out, or perhaps made a firm decision. He got up and walked out of the cave.

...

...

Nangong Jingxue was meditating with her eyes closed when Gu Chen gently coughed, startling her awake.

The woman froze, unable to believe her eyes. Her master, who had not appeared for a long time, had come to find her on his own!

But before Nangong Jingxue could speak, she heard her master say:

"Jingxue, I... I have something to discuss, uncertain whether I should."

Gu Chen’s voice was clearly trembling, even he was surprised by this unprecedented nervousness.

He took a deep breath, attempting to calm the storm in his heart, but his breathing only grew more rapid.

"Master, just say it."

"Disciple, I... I wish to become Dao companions with you!"

"Ah..."

Nangong Jingxue’s mouth dropped open in shock, and she couldn’t find her voice for a long time, "Master, are you teasing me?"

Three days later.

The village was enveloped in a festive atmosphere.

Red silk hung high, and the word "Happiness" adorned the doors.

He took a deep breath, attempting to calm the storm in his heart, but his breathing only grew more rapid.

"Master, just say it."

"Disciple, I... I wish to become Dao companions with you!"

"Ah..."

Nangong Jingxue’s mouth dropped open in shock, and she couldn’t find her voice for a long time, "Master, are you teasing me?"

Three days later.

The village was enveloped in a festive atmosphere.

Red silk hung high, and the word "Happiness" adorned the doors.

A drop of blood, black to the extreme, massive in scale, spanned the sky of the Immortal Domain, casting a vast shadow, plunging the entire Immortal Domain into darkness.

This era was suppressed.

At this moment, the ancient history belonging to the Immortal Domain was trembling, shuddering, experiencing an unprecedented collapse, the very foundation of time was dissolving and annihilating under an overwhelmingly powerful force.

"Boom! Boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"
