Chapter 264: A Rare Sight in a Million Years
Chapter 264: A Rare Sight in a Million Years
Gu An didn't use his full strength, but it was enough to disperse the immense power contained within the monstrous waves, restoring calm to the sea on the side of the Broken Sea Rift.
As for the tidal disaster on the other side, Gu An didn't bother with it. He didn't believe that anyone there could stop the waves.
Even if Gu An hadn't intervened, he thought someone of great power would eventually step in, though the timing was unpredictable. It might happen after the TaiXuan Gate was submerged.
His guess turned out to be correct.
Two days later, Gu An saw the waves on the other side of the Broken Sea Rift being dispelled by a mysterious great cultivator. Though it wasn't enough to make him wary, he could confirm that the person was a Free and Easy Immortal!
After dispersing the waves, the Free and Easy Immortal vanished without a trace.
This world truly harbored many powerful beings. The higher the realm, the more mysterious they became. Some, like Gu An, chose to remain hidden among the masses, while others secluded themselves in their caves, detached from worldly affairs.
Previously, Gu An had explored this world and found many places he couldn't easily see through.
Three more days passed, and news from the sea reached the TaiXuan Gate.
Sword Venerable Fudao had taken action, slaying a powerful and unusual ghost, thus resolving the disaster!
The TaiXuan Gate was instantly abuzz with excitement, and the news spread quickly!
Gu An was still reading in his pavilion when he heard the disciples discussing the event. He didn't go downstairs but continued reading.
This time, his intervention didn't bring him a sense of accomplishment. He would be happy once the Broken Sea Rift disappeared.
However, as evening approached, something happened that left Gu An feeling helpless.
It was the return of You Yingying, who had just left a few days ago.
As soon as she returned, she sought out Gu An and shared the information she had gathered. She was very excited, her voice filled with admiration and respect for Sword Venerable Fudao.
She provided a clearer understanding of the situation, describing how the Broken Sea Rift had erupted with waves that could engulf the world, and within those waves was an unusual and powerful ghost that even the Star Sea Sects couldn't handle.
She specifically introduced the unusual ghost, fearing that Gu An might not know how terrifying it was.
Gu An played along, pretending to be tense when she mentioned the disaster and the unusual ghost, and becoming excited when she mentioned Sword Venerable Fudao. This greatly satisfied her emotional needs.
This event had a profound impact on You Yingying, and she needed to share it with someone, preferably a TaiXuan Gate disciple.
She wanted the disciples to be grateful and to know how strong Sword Venerable Fudao was!
With the favor of Sword Venerable Fudao, the TaiXuan Gate was truly blessed!
If such a powerful being resided in the Star Sea Sects, how wonderful would that be?
When Gu An heard this, he felt something was off.
Why was she telling him all this?
Could she have guessed that he was Sword Venerable Fudao?
For a moment, Gu An felt wary of You Yingying.
You Yingying, however, had no idea about Gu An's thoughts. She just spoke her mind, and the idea that Gu An could be Sword Venerable Fudao never crossed her mind.
After a long while, with her need to vent thoroughly satisfied, You Yingying left with a happy heart.
Gu An watched her leave, feeling a bit regretful that he couldn't use this opportunity to get rid of her.
Given her deep admiration for Sword Venerable Fudao, he decided to let her stay a bit longer.
In the days that followed, the entire TaiXuan Gate was abuzz with discussions about Sword Venerable Fudao. Since many of the disciples were sea cultivators, news about the unusual ghost also spread.
Undying and unextinguishable, devouring living spirits!
The unusual ghost was once a living spirit!
Just hearing about it was terrifying!
Notably, You Yingying went to the outer gate city every day to spread the word about Sword Venerable Fudao's power. She felt that some things needed to be clarified so that the TaiXuan Gate could have even more reverence for Sword Venerable Fudao!
Every time Sword Venerable Fudao took action, the number of cultivators on the Heaven-Repairing Platform surged.
This made Zuo Yijian, the guardian of the Heaven-Cleaving Axe, busier than ever, but he wasn't tired. Instead, he was energetic and proud.
He now considered himself one of the Sword Venerable's people.
After all, the Sword Venerable had once patted him on the shoulder! Who could have such an honor?
Gu An saw numerous sects gather above the Great Rift of the Broken Sea. Glancing around, the number of cultivators had already exceeded five million and was still growing. It seemed that the Great Rift had thoroughly sparked panic among the ocean's inhabitants.
His gaze shifted upward, and he saw more and more celestial immortals descending from the Great Heaven and Earth.
It appeared that the major forces of the sea were mobilizing their people.
This was a good thing!
However, Gu An then thought of something else. Would the increasing number of cultivators sent to support the effort lead to a rise in the number of divine resentful ghosts?
He could only pray that those sects could handle the troubles deep within the Great Rift on their own.
He wasn't the destined hero of this world, so it shouldn't fall to him to solve everything, right?
He didn't think it would come to that. After all, this world was home to an imperial dynasty filled with celestial beings and a mysterious continent with a powerful aura that could even resist his divine consciousness.
Moreover, Gu An had previously seen many transcendent forces, none of which could be compared to the Star Sea Sect or the Seven Star Spirit Realm.
The Star Sea Sect was the overlord of the sea, but there were many such overlords.
At Gu An's cultivation level, he could already sense the destiny and aura of sects and forces. From the strength of their auras, the TaiXuan Gate was far inferior to the Star Sea Sect, and the Star Sea Sect was similarly far inferior to that celestial imperial dynasty.
Gu An speculated that the true first-rate forces in the world must have deployments even beyond the heavens, giving them access to far more resources than the Star Sea Sect could ever dream of.
The commotion caused by the Sword Venerable did not affect Gu An.
However, he began to spend more time teaching Yang Jian.
Since he dispersed the sea waves, Yang Jian had been seeing more and more illusions, which severely impacted his cultivation.
Once, while Gu An was guiding Yang Jian, the latter suddenly went into a daze. When he was shaken awake, he was covered in cold sweat, having seen himself being devoured, with no ability to resist. The intense pain was not just an illusion but a real physical reaction.
Unfortunately, Gu An could not trace the origin of these illusions through cause and effect.
Days passed one by one.
The end of the year approached, and winter snow covered the mountains and rivers.
In the forest a hundred miles outside the Mystic Valley, Gu An was guiding Yang Jian in the practice of the Boundless Freedom Step.
Yang Jian had exceptional talent and insight, but the Boundless Freedom Step was profound and mysterious, making it a difficult task for him to master.
After one movement, Yang Jian nearly collided with a tree trunk but managed to steady himself just in time.
He turned to look at Gu An, about to speak, when his brow suddenly furrowed.
He clutched his head with both hands and collapsed onto the snowy ground.
Gu An sensed something was wrong and immediately used his magic to isolate the forest, preventing any unusual occurrences from alarming the TaiXuan Gate.
He approached Yang Jian, placing his right hand on the young man's shoulder, and used his own magic to assist him.
In an instant, Gu An felt an unknown causal force approaching. He could resist it, but he hesitated for a moment and then pretended to be affected.
His thoughts were pulled into a mysterious illusionary realm, where Yang Jian's consciousness was also present.
Yang Jian saw his master's figure appear beside him and immediately felt relieved.
He was about to speak when he sensed something and turned his head. A dark shadow appeared in front of him, emerging from the vast snow, its figure clad in some kind of armor.
"Black Iron Body, a rarity seen only once in a million years."
A cold, greedy voice came from the front. The tone was filled with avarice, and the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard, sending shivers down one's spine.
