Chapter 192: The Sword Sovereign Shakes the World, the Holy Land Saves the World

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

As dust filled the air, Xuantian Yi flew out from the rubble and soared into the sky, looking down at the massive fissure created by Changsheng Daoist. On the other side of the crack, the terrifying presence of the Demon Ancestor had completely vanished, and all he could see was dust and demonic mist swirling, as if it were a world of chaos.

"Was that a sword formation earlier?" Xuantian Yi furrowed his brows, thinking back to the might of the Sword Formation. The Sword Sovereign had not shown himself, yet with just one move, he had slain the Demon Ancestor. It truly shocked him.

This was the first time he had truly witnessed the power of the Sword Sovereign. Even above the ocean, he had never seen such a sword formation.

Other great cultivators also gathered from all directions, none of them injured, just disheveled from being thrown around. They were all excited.

"The Demon Ancestor is dead! Is the Demon Calamity over?"

"Hahaha, we finally won, and we didn't even have to die!"

"The Sword Sovereign is truly formidable. Even among immortals, there are differences in strength."

"Why does he hide his identity if he's so powerful?"

"That's a question you should ask yourself. For someone of his caliber to make an appearance once or twice is already a blessing. If his true identity were exposed, you'd probably be begging him for help every time something went wrong."

The great cultivators were thrilled, some even laughing aloud as they released the pent-up tension of years.

Liang Canghai, the leader of the Cangtian Sect, spoke up, "Fellow cultivators, I propose that the three dynasties and all the sects erect statues in honor of the Sword Sovereign, not to curry favor with him, but to ensure that all under the heavens remember his grace forever!"

This suggestion was met with enthusiastic agreement from the other sects.

Xuanquan Laozu frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but held back.

Xuantian Yi glanced at Liang Canghai and coldly hmphed, but said nothing.

Following this, at Liang Canghai's command, they began to patrol the area to ensure that the Demon Ancestor was truly dead.

Far away, in the Third Medicine Valley, Gu An was also using his spiritual sense to search the battlefield. Surprisingly, the Demon Ancestor had left no demon core or treasures behind after his death.

This guy died without leaving anything of value.

Could he still resurrect somehow?

Gu An suppressed his thoughts and joined his disciples in discussing the might of the Sword Sovereign.

Now, all that was left to see was how the Seven Stars Spirit Realm would react! The Seven Stars Spirit Realm, which called itself the Holy Land, should not act recklessly. After all, Lin Jingxian had not revealed his true name, and the disciples of the Tai Xuan Gate did not know who he was.

...

News of the Demon Ancestor's fall spread throughout the world within just two days. This was due to the Demon Ancestor's proclamation challenging the Sword Sovereign before his descent upon the Three Dynasties.

The Sword Sovereign's fame reached unprecedented heights across the lands of the Three Dynasties.

Although the demons ravaging the world had not completely dispersed yet, the Demon Kings had been frightened into withdrawing from the Three Dynasties, and the morale of the human race was soaring.

People everywhere sang praises of the Sword Sovereign.

As Gu An traveled through the mortal world in his guise as the Green Hero, he found that in every city and village, people were discussing the Sword Sovereign. He was surprised at how quickly the news had spread.

Even after the Demon Ancestor's fall, the number of demons remained high, indicating that the true controller of the demons was not the Demon Ancestor.

However, as long as those Demon Kings retreated, the Three Dynasties would eventually emerge victorious. Gu An did not rest, using this opportunity to accumulate more lifespan.

His ability to take the lifespan of others was his biggest secret, so he could not go on a killing spree as the Sword Sovereign. After all, the Sword Sovereign had rarely massacred demons in the past, so it made sense for the Green Hero to do so instead. There were quite a few heroes like him in the world today.

Days turned into weeks.

A month later, Gu An's lifespan broke through to eight million years.

On this day, Lu Baitian arrived at the Third Medicine Valley to see him, and Gu An received him in the pavilion.

Lu Baitian was in high spirits, first praising the Sword Sovereign endlessly. He was delighted that the Sword Sovereign had appeared during his tenure as the leader of the Tai Xuan Gate, and he had successfully kept the Sword Sovereign around. The Grand Elders were very pleased with his performance, and Xuantian Yi had also expressed that he would not compete for the position of sect leader.

"It seems the Demon Calamity is coming to an end," Lu Baitian said with a gentle shake of his teacup. "Not only did the Sword Sovereign slay the Demon Ancestor, but the Holy Land has also opened its gates, sending its disciples down from the mountain to save the world."

"The Holy Land?" Gu An asked, recalling what the Third Miss had told him. "I heard that the Holy Land never interferes in the affairs of the continent. Why are they descending this time?"

Lu Baitian explained, "I heard that the formation of the Demon Calamity is not only related to the Demon Ancestor but also to an ancient and powerful demon named Li Mo. Li Mo was sealed by the Holy Land in the depths of the earth. After the Demon Ancestor's fall, when the demons continued to wreak havoc, the Holy Land realized something was amiss. Upon investigation, they discovered that although Li Mo is still in a sealed state, his demonic energy is seeping through the earth's spiritual energy and entering the bodies of the demons, causing them to fall into madness and become demons."

"Because the Three Dynasties are located at the southernmost part of the continent, farthest from Li Mo, the human race has not been affected by his demonic energy," Lu Baitian continued. "The Holy Land has also revealed that Li Mo is growing stronger and will inevitably emerge one day, bringing about another great catastrophe. However, the Holy Land has vowed to face this threat alongside the human race and its sects, as they believe that their inability to completely eradicate Li Mo is their responsibility."

Hearing these words, Gu An almost felt a sense of respect for the Seven Stars Spirit Realm.

It was indeed an impeccable, flawless plan! If not for Gu An's discovery of those memories, just based on Lu Baitian's words, the Holy Land would appear truly noble.

But he knew that this was all a charade orchestrated by the Holy Land.

Nonetheless, it was a good thing. The fact that disciples of the Holy Land were descending to save the world meant that the Seven Stars Spirit Realm still cared about its image and would not act recklessly.

It also indicated that the Seven Stars Spirit Realm was wary of the Sword Sovereign and did not want to engage in a direct confrontation, giving Gu An more time to grow stronger.

Gu An couldn't afford to be careless, however, as he still had to guard against the Seven Stars Spirit Realm investigating him in secret.

Upon hearing this, Gu An's face lit up with joy, and he asked, "That's definitely good news. The Holy Land must be incredibly powerful. Do the other sects know about this?"

"Yes, messengers from the Holy Land have delivered the news to all the sects. I estimate that in at most another five years, there will no longer be any demons under the influence of the Demon Ancestor in the world, and the Three Dynasties may even be able to expand into the Demon Realm. This could pose some trouble for the Tai Cang Empire and the Tai Xuan Gate," Lu Baitian nodded.

Gu An asked in surprise, "What kind of trouble?"

"The Da Jiang Empire and the Tian Wei Empire stand between the Tai Cang Empire and the Demon Realm, making it difficult for us to venture into the Demon Realm to mine spirit stones and seek opportunities. In the long run, the Tai Cang Empire will eventually be annexed by the other two empires. When that happens, the Tai Xuan Gate's influence in the cultivation world will weaken. I intend to support Li Xuandao in his endeavors," Lu Baitian said with a worried expression, and then he started drinking his tea.

Gu An really wanted to say, "You guys sure know how to stir up trouble."

The Demon Calamity wasn't even over yet, and they were already thinking about how to divide up the Demon Realm?

But he couldn't stop them. The Tai Xuan Gate did need to become stronger, which would help him survive better.

Lu Baitian began to explain the Tai Xuan Gate's plans for the future, displaying a completely open and honest attitude. It was clear that he hadn't given up on the idea of accepting Gu An as his disciple.

According to him, after the Demon Calamity was resolved, the Grand Elders would not head south again but would instead lead the Tai Xuan Gate disciples to explore the Demon Realm, helping the sect to continuously grow stronger.

They even regarded the Cangtian Sect as their imaginary enemy. The Cangtian Sect had a similar mindset, and Lu Baitian found their excessive praise of the Sword Sovereign nauseating.

"Do they want to curry favor with the Sword Sovereign? In your dreams! Gu An, you should write a book with the Sword Sovereign as the main character. With your reputation as Pan An, it will spread throughout the world!" Lu Baitian looked at Gu An and said seriously.

He wanted me to write about myself again?

Gu An wasn't that narcissistic. He quickly shook his head and said, "No way, I don't want to write about others anymore. Besides, the Sword Sovereign's karma is too great. If I write about him and the book becomes popular, I'll definitely have endless troubles in the future. Sect Master, do you want me dead? I'm afraid even you wouldn't be able to stop the Sword Sovereign's enemies, let alone me."

Lu Baitian found his reasoning reasonable and could only temporarily set the idea aside.

They chatted for a long time before Lu Baitian left with a hint of regret.

Gu An didn't stay either. He left the Third Medicine Valley and headed to Xuangu Valley, where he stayed for half an hour before descending the mountain once again, disguised as the Green Hero.

...

Time flew by, and another month passed.

Gu An turned ninety-five years old, inching closer to a hundred.

One day, Xuantian Yi came to visit Gu An. He pulled Gu An, who was still planting in the garden, back into the pavilion and acted mysteriously.

"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?" Gu An asked, unable to hold back his curiosity as he watched Xuantian Yi set up restrictions inside the house.

Xuantian Yi turned around and walked to the desk. He then took out a book from his storage bag and slammed it onto the table.

Gu An's eyes widened as he recognized the title.

The Sword Sovereign's Journey!

What a bold move!

Gu An exclaimed, "Are you crazy? You even dare to mock the Sword Sovereign? Aren't you afraid he'll come after you?"

Xuantian Yi raised an eyebrow and asked, "How can I get into trouble just by writing a book?"

"Be careful, or the Sword Sovereign might tap you on the shoulder in the middle of the night!"

"Hmm? That's not a bad idea. It could add to the atmosphere."

"No, I'm serious. Don't mess around!"

Gu An was anxious. The Tai Xuan Secret Manual had already exposed his true name, and he didn't want his other identity to be revealed as well.

Lu Baitian was such a beast! Since he couldn't find Gu An, he asked Xuantian Yi to write the book instead?

If he had known this would happen, Gu An should have accepted the task himself!

Xuantian Yi looked at the anxious Gu An, deeply touched. He had made the right choice in this brother!

"Rest assured, this time I've changed my style. I'm imitating your writing. Take a look," Xuantian Yi waved his hand, exuding an air of confidence.

Gu An immediately picked up The Sword Sovereign's Journey and started reading carefully.

Xuantian Yi walked to the bookshelf, curious about what books Gu An usually read.

After a while, Gu An put down The Sword Sovereign's Journey and breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to Xuantian Yi and said, "It's not bad. Indeed, there aren't as many romantic tales. Now that the Sword Sovereign is revered by cultivators all over the world, it's fine to deify him, but we can't let him do anything despicable."

Xuantian Yi turned around and glared at him, asking, "What do you mean? Are you saying the Green Hero is despicable?"

"Speaking of which, I've always been curious. Is the Green Hero's Journey something you made up, or is it based on real experiences?"

"Half and half, I guess."

The anger in Xuantian Yi's eyes faded noticeably, replaced by embarrassment.

"Which half is true, and which half is false?" Gu An asked, furrowing his brows.

So, it was real!

How could you do that to your girlfriend, Zi? That night in the ruined temple...

Gu An suddenly felt like finding a knife and stabbing Xuantian Yi.

Xuantian Yi coughed lightly and said, "Let's not get sidetracked. Give me some suggestions for this book. After all, you, as Pan An, understand the cultivators of the world well. I've heard that other sects will also send people to write books, imitating Pan An, to curry favor with the Sword Sovereign. We can't lose to them in terms of writing!"
