The Final Trial

Inside the room, Gu An sat by the table, pouring himself tea. Lu Xian shut the door, then came before him and, with an air of mystery, took out a long box and placed it on the table.

The scene made Gu An think of the time years ago when Lu Xian had handed him the Heavenly Dao Immortal Stone, leaving him caught between laughter and tears.

Before Lu Xian arrived, Gu An had already known what this fellow was going to take out, but he still chose to ask him.

"What is this?"

Faced with Gu An's question, Lu Xian chuckled and said, "Another immortal-divine opportunity! I'm starting to suspect I'm an immortal god descended to the mortal world. Inside is a piece of divine wood, and hidden within it is an opportunity to become an immortal. It's said that a supreme immortal god is roaming the Great Dao Universe. This immortal god seems to be searching for something. If one can help him, one may obtain an immortal opportunity."

Gu An nodded slightly, though inwardly he felt disdain.

The Son of Heaven and the immortal gods under him were actually resorting to such petty tricks, deliberately making things look mysterious.

Gu An said, "You'd best not get involved in this karma."

He explained the struggle between the Sons of Heaven, and Lu Xian listened until he was dumbstruck.

Lu Xian had once guessed that it might be some sort of scheme, a trap, but he had not expected such a struggle to be hidden behind it.

The sons of the Heavenly Emperor fighting one another, using all living beings as chess pieces?

Afterward, the Heavenly Dao would not severely punish the Son of Heaven, but would send Heavenly Punishment down upon the Cultivators who participated in the struggle
