Chapter 221: The Legendary Immortal of Heaven and Earth
Chapter 221: The Legendary Immortal of Heaven and Earth
Watching Gu An overpoweringly suppress the two Youxian, Chi Jiuxiao was stunned, while An Hao was so excited that his whole body trembled.
Gu An glanced at the purple-robed man in his hand and sent out a life probe.
Nine Star True Lord (Fifth Layer of Youxian Realm): 42,089/150,000/160,000
He then looked down at the red-clad man and performed another life probe.
True Lord of the Scarlet Leaves (Sixth Layer of Youxian Realm): 56,803/160,000/190,000
They were both quite old!
Since they both bore the title of True Lord, Gu An wondered if it was a position of status in the Seven Star Spirit Realm.
Just then, the True Lord of Scarlet Leaves, who was beneath his feet, spoke with difficulty, "Who are you, noble one? If that boy is truly your disciple, then take him and leave!"
Boom!
The sand behind Gu An suddenly exploded, darkening the vision of An Hao and Chi Jiuxiao. A massive scorpion as large as a mountain attacked, raising its pincers to clamp down on Gu An.
Xianxian Scorpion!
It was too fast; so fast that Chi Jiuxiao and An Hao couldn't react in time.
Before they could even see clearly, the Xianxian Scorpion exploded, spraying black venom everywhere, followed by an even more terrifying roar.
Rumbling—
Gu An's figure stirred up a cloud of dust, obscuring the black venom that filled the sky.
"How is this possible..."
The Nine Star True Lord, whose shoulder was gripped by Gu An, widened his eyes, his face filled with disbelief.
The Xianxian Scorpion was also a being of the Youxian Realm, yet it had died just like that?
He didn't even see what method Gu An had used. He only felt that as soon as the scorpion's pincers touched Gu An, its physical body exploded.
You successfully claim the lifespan of the Xianxian Scorpion (Second Layer of Youxian Realm): 57,009 years
Seeing this prompt, Gu An was slightly satisfied.
The Xianxian Scorpion had died to the Dao Gang Yuan Qi. This Yuan Qi was an ability derived from the Heavenly Dao Gang of the Ji Family. Whenever someone attacked Gu An's physical body, this ability would be triggered, resulting in their destruction.
Although the True Lord of Scarlet Leaves couldn't probe with his divine sense or turn his head, he felt that at the moment the Dao Gang Yuan Qi erupted, he too would be reduced to ashes.
He had never felt such despair before.
His opponent must have transcended the Youxian Realm!
How could there be such an existence on this backward continent?
Witnessing the eruption of the Dao Gang Yuan Qi, the Nine Star True Lord was terrified to his core.
At this moment, the two Youxian had lost all will to fight, replaced only by infinite fear.
The longer they lived, the more they feared death.
"Senior... please..." The True Lord of Scarlet Leaves trembled as he spoke.
Although Gu An couldn't receive hostility prompts, the fact that the True Lord of Scarlet Leaves dared to let the Xianxian Scorpion attack him meant that he was asking for death.
Gu An's right foot suddenly exerted force, directly crushing the True Lord of Scarlet Leaves' physical body into nothingness, turning him into a blood mist that dissipated, leaving only a storage bag behind.
The Nine Star True Lord's eyes widened, filled with despair.
A burst of divine light erupted from Gu An's palm, instantly turning the True Lord into dust, leaving nothing behind.
The storage bag on the Nine Star True Lord also fell to the ground.
In this way, the two Youxian died without any resistance!
An Hao and Chi Jiuxiao were stunned. They were all too aware of the power of these two Youxian, and it was precisely because of this that they were now in a daze.
Two prompts appeared before Gu An's eyes, informing him that he had successfully claimed two thousand years of lifespan!
A figure flew in from behind and landed behind Gu An. The figure bowed and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, senior, for saving my life!"
It was Chi Jiuxiao's master, Chi Bei.
At this moment, Chi Bei looked pathetic. Black blood was seeping out all over his body.
"Don't reveal this matter to anyone, or you will also become my enemy."
After leaving these words behind, Gu An disappeared into thin air, along with the two storage bags on the ground.
Chi Bei looked up, but his divine sense could no longer capture Gu An's figure, prompting him to sigh.
At this moment, Chi Jiuxiao rushed out of the formation and stood before Chi Bei. He supported his master and asked anxiously, "Master, are you alright?"
Chi Bei spoke with difficulty, "Get the medicine cauldron ready. I need to drive out the poison..."
Chi Jiuxiao immediately complied.
Soon, Chi Bei entered the Cauldron and began healing his injuries. He took out the medicinal herbs he had prepared and retrieved the spiritual water.
An Hao approached the large cauldron cautiously and asked, "What is the origin of the Immortal Scorpion?"
Chi Jiuxiao gazed at the Cauldron and replied, "The Immortal Scorpion is one of the nine ancient and deadly poisons of the ocean. It is also the strongest venomous insect alive today. If an Immortal is swallowed by it, they will instantly turn into poisonous blood. A single sting will cause their cultivation to deteriorate, and not even the gods or Buddhas can save them."
So terrifying?
An Hao was shocked and didn't know how to comfort Chi Jiuxiao.
Chi Jiuxiao turned to him and asked, "Just who is your master? How could he possibly..."
Gu An's performance just now was truly frightening. Even though Chi Jiuxiao was the one who had been saved, he still feared Gu An's strength.
This fear was born from an existence beyond his comprehension!
"I can't reveal my master's name. He doesn't allow me to speak of it," An Hao shook his head. He felt proud deep down.
Every time he witnessed a higher realm of existence, he would wonder about the realm his master had attained.
However, his master shattered his expectations time and time again.
It seemed that no matter how powerful an existence appeared before his master, they were nothing but ants.
He realized that even though he possessed exceptional talent, compared to his master, it was insignificant. He even suspected that the reason his talent was so extraordinary was because of his master's favor.
Upon hearing this, Chi Jiuxiao fell into silence, recalling Gu An's earlier display, and admiration shone in his eyes.
A man who cultivates immortality should have such an aura!
On the other side, Gu An did not return to Tai Xuan Gate but instead stepped onto a solitary island in the sea.
He appeared in a forest, quickly sorting through the belongings of the two True Lords, destroying suspicious items, and storing the remaining treasures in his own bag.
His bag was not large enough to hold the inheritance of the two True Lords, so he had to refine one of their bags.
After some time, he finally left.
He returned to the cave he had cultivated, emptying the contents of the bags and burning the nine-star True Lord's bag to ashes.
Although he found no issues after inspecting them, he wanted to take extra precautions.
After finishing this task, he returned to Tai Xuan Gate.
He arrived at the peak of the mountain beside Xuan Gu, gazing into the distance.
Although it had been easy to slay the three Youxian, he did not feel calm.
He knew that this incident would cause a huge commotion!
However, he did not regret his actions, as he could not let his enemies live.
There was another way!
He could also try to find the celestial spirit of Shenyi City and hand it over to someone else, thus ending the conflict prematurely.
Gu An was not interested in Shenyi City, even though it possessed great power. The karma of Shenyi City was too great, and he did not want any trouble.
Giving it to someone else and letting them leave with the Star Sea Group would be the best outcome.
He had visited Shenyi City twice and vaguely sensed the trail of the celestial spirit.
...
Several days later, within the small world of Shenyi City, the winds and sand had ceased.
Chi Jiuxiao supported Chi Bei as he emerged from the cauldron, helping him to sit down. Chi Bei changed into a clean white robe, his face pale and his hair disheveled, bearing no resemblance to the dignified Youxian.
After sitting down, Chi Bei sighed, "I never expected that Shenyi City would attract a Heavenly Immortal."
Upon hearing this, An Hao's face lit up with curiosity.
"A Heavenly Immortal? Could it be the legendary immortal realm that allows one to roam beyond the heavens?" Chi Jiuxiao's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly.
Chi Bei nodded, "Most likely. Being at the same Youxian realm, he shouldn't have been able to defeat those two True Lords so easily."
He turned to Chi Jiuxiao and said, "Since that senior saved us, we must keep our promise and not reveal his identity. Let's say that it was the doing of the Star Sea Group. Do you understand?"
Chi Jiuxiao nodded heavily.
Chi Bei then looked at An Hao, examining him carefully. He could see the extraordinary roots of An Hao but could only perceive the past ten years of his life, unable to see any connection between An Hao and his master.
As for Lu Baitian, he disregarded him entirely, as a mere combined realm cultivator was not worth his attention.
"I'm not sure, probably not," An Hao shook his head, leaving room for doubt as he did not fully trust Chi Bei.
Chi Bei smiled, "What good fortune you have, young man. With such a master, your future is limitless. How about joining the Star Sea Group now?"
An Hao hesitated, "I have more than one master. My other master is the sect leader of Tai Xuan Gate, and I have a responsibility to strengthen the sect."
Chi Bei's smile became more gentle, "I'm not asking you to leave Tai Xuan Gate. You can come to the Star Sea Group to cultivate for a period, fostering a good relationship between the two sects. The Star Sea Group can help you become stronger quickly, and when you are powerful enough, you can better protect Tai Xuan Gate. In the future, if the Star Sea Group is in danger, you can lend a hand."
Hearing this, An Hao found it hard to refuse, and he glanced at Chi Jiuxiao.
Chi Jiuxiao hummed, "Could my master deceive you? Xuan Tianyi is a perfect example."
Having traveled together, he had already learned about the relationship between Xuan Tianyi and An Hao.
He, too, wanted to win over An Hao.
Winning over An Hao meant gaining the favor of the Heavenly Immortal he had witnessed days ago!
A Heavenly Immortal—the Star Sea Group had given birth to Heavenly Immortals in the past, but those were mere legends, and he had never witnessed one himself.
An Hao hesitated for a while but eventually nodded in agreement, causing both Chi Bei and Chi Jiuxiao to smile.
Chi Bei's smile faded as he said, "I have not completely purged the poison of the Immortal Scorpion. Let's leave Shenyi City first to avoid further pursuit from the Seven Star Spirit Realm."
"But what about Shenyi City...?" Chi Jiuxiao hesitated.
Chi Bei glared at him and scolded, "There are Heavenly Immortals and other Youxian in Shenyi City. Do you think you are qualified to compete for the celestial spirit?"
Chi Jiuxiao immediately backed down, scratching his head and laughing awkwardly, no longer insisting.
Although An Hao felt a bit of regret, he knew that leaving like this was not a bad deal. He had already found numerous treasures with Chi Jiuxiao, and their harvest was abundant.
And so, the three of them packed up and began searching for a way out.
...
In a dimly lit grand hall, one side of the wall was adorned with brass oil lamps, some of which had gone out.
Standing before the wall of lamps was a woman in a purple skirt, her face veiled, with her long hair pinned up, revealing only her delicate eyebrows and eyes, which held a coldness that added to her mysterious aura.
A boy wearing only a bellyband appeared on her shoulder, tilting his head as he asked, "Mother, what are you looking at?"
Upon closer inspection, the boy's feet seemed to merge with the woman's shoulder, indicating that he was a soul body and not a living being.
