Chapter 150: Uniting the World to Fight Against Demons!
Chapter 150: Uniting the World to Fight Against Demons!
Li Xuandao!
How did this guy inherit the power of the Ephemeral Flower Sect?
Gu An asked, "What power did he inherit from the Ephemeral Flower Sect?"
Chen She replied with difficulty, "The Ephemeral Flowers all over the world are absorbing spiritual energy for the Ephemeral Flower Spirit. The Ephemeral Flower Spirit is also an ancient remnant. It can absorb the spiritual energy of the world with the help of the Ephemeral Flowers. Once it is integrated with a living being, all the Ephemeral Flowers will wither and only the shells will remain..."
The figure that appeared in its eyes was none other than Li Xuandao, even revealing his true appearance. Li Xuandao seemed to be communicating with someone, but no sound came out.
"Were your injuries caused by trying to stop him?" Gu An asked.
"Yes, he has the support of the Xuan Heart Realm, but he didn't kill me..." Chen She replied.
"Do you want me to kill him?" Gu An asked.
"If possible... it would be best to cripple his cultivation... the Ephemeral Flower Spirit is ultimately an ominous object..."
"Then rest up and heal your injuries. You can take care of him yourself later. Your poison will disappear soon," Gu An said casually.
Of course, how could he possibly listen to Chen She's words and cripple whoever she asked him to?
Chen She remained silent for a moment before speaking, "I was too presumptuous..."
Gu An then disappeared from her forehead.
With Chen She's own cultivation in the Xuan Heart Realm, once her poison was gone, none of the demons and monsters on Tianhuang Mountain could harm her.
After sensing that Gu An had left, Chen She closed her eyes and her ragged breathing began to ease.
On the other side.
Gu An returned to Nianchu's cave abode and was surprised to find that Tianyaoer had passed out drunk, lying face down on the table.
He picked up the jar and found that all the wine inside had been drunk.
This girl...
Gu An smiled helplessly and carried Tianyaoer in his arms, heading inside the house.
"Master... Master... help me... kill the Demon Mother... avenge my parents..."
Tianyaoer coquettishly hooked her arm around Gu An's neck, murmuring softly, her hot breath falling on his neck.
Gu An did not tell her that the Tianhuang Demon Mother was already dead.
With a target for her hatred, she would have more motivation to cultivate.
...
The next day at noon, Gu An arrived at Tianya Valley.
The night before, he had used his spiritual sense to detect that Li Xuandao had returned to Tianya Valley.
From a distance, Gu An could see Li Xuandao sitting under a tree at a stone table, holding a book in one hand.
【Li Xuandao (Void Crossing Realm, Layer 7): 271/1599/6050】
Void Crossing Realm, Layer 7!
His cultivation had increased again!
More importantly, his maximum lifespan had doubled; Gu An recalled that his maximum lifespan had been slightly over three thousand years.
The Ephemeral Flower Spirit was so powerful?
Gu An suddenly felt that Li Xuandao was truly extraordinary. There were people with higher maximum lifespans than him, but their cultivation speed was not as fast as his.
Even An Hao's cultivation speed might not be as fast as his!
Most importantly, no one knew about Li Xuandao's true cultivation level. He had cultivated some kind of special technique, and his apparent cultivation level was at the first layer of the Golden Core Realm.
To disguise himself as being at the first layer of the Golden Core Realm while actually being at the seventh layer of the Void Crossing Realm was simply too deceitful!
As Gu An thought about this, he made his way towards Li Xuandao.
"Greetings, Uncle," Gu An said as he approached Li Xuandao and raised his hand in salute.
Li Xuandao put down the Investiture of the Gods novel in his hand and smiled, "Gu An, you're finally here. Your uncle has prepared a high-grade Golden Core for you. The original owner of this core was a first-rate genius. When your cultivation reaches the ninth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm, your uncle will ask a great cultivator to help you achieve the Golden Core Realm."
Upon hearing this, Gu An quickly thanked him.
Li Xuandao gestured for him to sit down and continued, "Recently, I've been reading the Investiture of the Gods again and gained some new insights. What do you think would have happened if King Zhou had befriended the Chanjiao from the beginning?"
Gu An replied, "There are no 'what ifs' in life. Different personalities lead to different choices. Many things are destined to happen. King Zhou was tyrannical, and the Chanjiao might not have approved of his style of governance."
Li Xuandao shook his head, "That's too one-sided. I feel that the Investiture of the Gods conveys some other profound meanings as well."
Has he gone mad from demonic influence?
Gu An suddenly didn't know how to respond. He carefully sensed Li Xuandao's aura but couldn't detect any trace of the Ephemeral Flower's energy.
He became intensely curious about Li Xuandao's cultivation technique. His intuition told him that Li Xuandao's technique was extremely powerful and might even be stronger than Lu Baitian's Reverse Life Divine Ability.
Li Xuandao had been secretly manipulating events and gathering geniuses from all over, and he even had the backing of the Xuan Heart Realm! Gu An was curious about how he had accomplished all this. Was it through strategic alliances and winning over influential families by offering them benefits, or had he managed to find a high-level master to mentor him?
It was most likely the latter. Otherwise, why would a cultivator of the Xuan Heart Realm look favorably upon an emperor?
Li Xuandao began to share his insights and understanding of the Investiture of the Gods, and his explanations became more and more abstruse. He even started analyzing the motivations of the characters in the novel.
Gu An noticed that Yiliuyun and Lu Xian had not returned.
Since Lu Xian had previously possessed the remnant soul of the Evil Emperor of the Ephemeral Flower Sect, Gu An suspected that Lu Xian might have something to do with Li Xuandao obtaining the Ephemeral Flower Spirit.
After chatting for a long time, Li Xuandao finally concluded his lecture reluctantly and allowed Gu An to go gather herbs.
After Gu An finished his tasks, he came to bid farewell to Li Xuandao. Before leaving, he asked out of curiosity, "Uncle, what brings you here this time?"
Li Xuandao looked at the book in his hand and casually replied, "I'm waiting for someone from the Grand Palace of the Tai Xuan Gate to come find me."
The Grand Palace?
Gu An became even more curious. Could it be that Li Xuandao had won over one of the three great families?
He didn't pursue the matter further and left it to these people to fight amongst themselves as long as it didn't affect him.
With his current cultivation, he couldn't claim to be invincible on the continent, but at least, within the Nine Dynasties, no one could threaten him.
Gu An's curiosity was piqued, and he found himself enjoying the spectacle of watching these people's struggles from a distance. It was unexpectedly intriguing.
...
After the world had achieved peace, Gu An's life returned to its usual routine. He traveled between the various medicinal valleys, occasionally visiting the outer sect cities and chatting with his friends there. For him, every day was interesting and never dull.
In the blink of an eye, five years passed.
During the summer of this year, Gu An turned seventy-nine. His lifespan broke through five million years, and he was getting closer and closer to a lifespan of ten million years.
The existence of the Xuan Heart Realm was no longer a secret. Surprisingly, even within the inner sect cities, there were whispers and discussions about the story of a great cultivator from the Xuan Heart Realm.
One day, Gu An arrived at the inner sect city and invited Wu Jue to a tavern for drinks.
Wu Jue was delighted by his visit.
After the two of them had each drunk a jar of wine, Wu Jue said, "Brother Gu, I will be leaving next month, and it will be difficult for me to return in the next ten years."
After so many years, Wu Jue's maximum lifespan had not increased further, perhaps due to the peaceful and comfortable life he had been leading.
Gu An asked curiously, "Where are you going?"
Wu Jue replied, "The current emperor has declared his intention to unite the Nine Dynasties and gather the power of the world to resist the Demon Tribulation that is said to occur decades from now. My master has sent me to support him."
The Zhou family!
Five years ago, out of curiosity about whom Li Xuandao was meeting with, Gu An had used his spiritual sense to probe and discovered that the esteemed master was none other than Wu Jue's master, Zhou Yu.
After their meeting, Li Xuandao returned to the palace and made that shocking statement that reverberated throughout the world.
Uniting the world and fighting against the demons together!
Such an audacious statement caused an uproar within the Tai Xuan Gate, but the events that unfolded defied the expectations of the sect's disciples.
The Tai Xuan Gate actually dispatched disciples to support the emperor and assist Li Xuandao in his endeavors.
This was clearly not Lu Baitian's intention, and Gu An could sense the tension within the inner sect. It was worth mentioning that Lu Baitian had not sought him out in these five years.
If he hadn't used his spiritual sense to investigate and confirm that Lu Baitian was still alive and well, cultivating in seclusion, he would have thought that Lu Baitian had fallen into madness again.
"I have a disciple named Ye Yan, who joined the army many years ago. If you happen to meet him, please take good care of him," Gu An said with a smile.
Wu Jue patted his chest and assured, "Of course, your disciple is as good as my disciple."
Gu An raised his wine bowl and clinked it with Wu Jue's.
The two continued their conversation, with Wu Jue in high spirits, sharing his insights into the Falling Sun Fist and the Mad Wind Phantom Leg. He claimed to have comprehended even stronger techniques.
Suddenly,
Gu An's gaze shifted towards the staircase leading to the second floor, and he spotted someone walking up.
【Wei Tiangong (Xuan Heart Realm, Layer 3): 3889/4500/4600】
Xuan Heart Realm, Layer 3!
Gu An glanced and then averted his eyes, his curiosity piqued.
Who was this person?
He had lived for over three thousand eight hundred years, and the late Elder Xuan Tian would probably be considered a junior in front of him.
Wei Tiangong was dressed in a blue robe, holding a dust whisk, with a beard that extended past his jaw and hair tied atop his head. His aura resembled that of a Golden Core Realm cultivator, so he didn't attract the attention of the other disciples.
This style of dress was not uncommon in the cultivation world; there were even two similar-looking individuals on the second floor of the tavern.
Wei Tiangong scanned the area and his gaze landed on Wu Jue. He walked over, a smile on his face, and asked, "May I join you two gentlemen?"
Wu Jue frowned and glanced at Gu An.
Gu An smiled and said, "Since we are fellow sect members, how could we refuse? Please, take a seat."
Wei Tiangong stroked his beard and smiled, then sat down. He introduced himself, "My surname is Wei, and I am not a disciple of the Tai Xuan Gate. I am merely a guest here. I felt a sense of familiarity when I saw you two, so I took the liberty of joining you."
This statement caused Wu Jue's frown to deepen.
In the first half of Wu Jue's life, the Tai Xuan Gate had experienced several incidents of spies and traitors causing chaos, so he held a strong aversion towards cultivators from other sects.
Gu An asked, "May I ask which sect Master Wei is from?"
Wei Tiangong turned to Gu An and smiled, "I am from the Seven Star Spirit Realm. Have you gentlemen heard of it?"
Gu An shook his head.
Wu Jue, annoyed, said, "What are you trying to probe for? Get to the point, and don't disturb our drinking."
Wei Tiangong shook his head and chuckled, then took out a piece of green jade from his sleeve and placed it on the table, pushing it towards Wu Jue. He said, "I see that your bone structure is extraordinary, and your heavenly spirit cover exudes a spiritual aura. You have a connection with my Seven Star Spirit Realm, and I would like to invite you to cultivate in the Seven Star Spirit Realm."
He turned to look at Gu An, and Gu An couldn't help but look at him expectantly.
However, the man merely smiled and nodded politely, the gesture a bit awkward.
Gu An maintained his smile but remained silent.
Wu Jue huffed, "Seven Star Spirit Realm? I've never even heard of it. I'm not going!"
Wei Tiangong stroked his beard and laughed silently, as if amused by Wu Jue's ignorance.
His attitude irritated Wu Jue even more, and he glared at him, his fists clenched.
Wei Tiangong smiled and said, "Young friend, do you know how many people in the Nine Dynasties would love to enter the Seven Star Spirit Realm? Even if it's just for a few years of cultivation, they would beg and scramble for the opportunity."
Hearing this, Gu An suddenly thought of Ji Xiaoyu and the sacred site she had gone to.
Could the Seven Star Spirit Realm be the legendary sacred site?
Third shift!
