Chapter 266: The Supreme Treasure Body, A Dream from a Past Life
Chapter 266: The Supreme Treasure Body, A Dream from a Past Life
"Such a physique is rare, very rare indeed."
The Nine-Fingered Divine Lord scrutinized Xi Yuxiao, marveling aloud.
Xi Yuxiao frowned slightly, circling around the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord to stand beside Gu An, her gaze wary as she watched him.
Gu An chuckled, saying, "Senior, don't scare the child."
The Nine-Fingered Divine Lord stood up, turning to face Gu An, and sighed, "Gu An, this girl's talent is exceptional. You should try to win her over while she's still young. Establish a good relationship with her; she might save your life one day."
Gu An dismissed the idea with a wave of his hand, "I don't leave the TaiXuan Gate, so what danger could I possibly face?"
"True," the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord laughed, then glanced at Xi Yuxiao once more before turning to leave.
Gu An turned to Xi Yuxiao and smiled, "My name is Gu An. You can just call me Valley Lord from now on."
Xi Yuxiao nodded lightly, her eyes remaining calm as she looked at Gu An, seemingly not remembering him at all.
This left Gu An somewhat disappointed. This Xi Yuxiao was not the same as her past life.
Gu An took Xi Yuxiao's small hand and led her toward the pavilion complex.
Xi Yuxiao's face was slightly uncomfortable, but she did not pull away.
Later, Gu An arranged for Xi Yuxiao to live with Anxin and have her take care of her.
He had his own selfish reasons. Xi Yuxiao would eventually soar to great heights. If she could form a deep bond with Anxin, Anxin would have a strong support in the future.
After all, Anxin was his disciple, and he naturally thought about her welfare.
However, less than half an hour later, Gu An's door was knocked on, and a young voice called out from outside, "Valley Lord, can I come in?"
Gu An replied, "Come in."
The door opened, and the young Xi Yuxiao entered.
She wore a white lotus dress, her hair neatly arranged, looking like a little fairy descended from heaven.
She approached the table and stared at Gu An, saying, "Valley Lord, can I live alone?"
Her voice was childlike, yet her tone and manner were mature and steady.
"Why?" Gu An asked with a smile.
Xi Yuxiao replied, "I prefer living alone, and I don't want to be disturbed when I practice."
Gu An thought for a moment and said, "How about you live downstairs?"
His pavilion had two floors, with the first floor used for living quarters, which only he occupied. However, he usually spent his time in the study on the second floor.
Xi Yuxiao hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly.
Gu An smiled warmly, "If you need anything, just let me know. Although I am surnamed Gu, I was also born in the Ji family."
Xi Yuxiao's eyes widened with curiosity, "You were born in the Ji family?"
"Yes, I used to be a servant in the Ji family..." Gu An began to tell the story of his origins and how he entered the TaiXuan Gate.
However, he did not mention Xi Yuxiao's name, only referring to her as the third young miss of the family.
He wanted to test Xi Yuxiao, to see if she remembered.
Xi Yuxiao listened intently, and when Gu An finished, she asked, "Have you ever looked into who your parents are? The Ji family keeps records of all their servants."
Gu An was taken aback.
Actually, when he reached the realm of Free and Unfettered Immortal, he had returned to the Ji family to see if he could find any traces of his past. He wanted to see what his parents looked like, but unfortunately, he found nothing.
Perhaps it was due to the passage of time or some other reason, but Gu An could not see the cause and effect of his childhood.
"No, regardless of their status, if they miss me, they will naturally come to find me, won't they?" Gu An replied.
To say he had never fantasized about his parents in this life would be a lie, but as someone who had lived two lives, he was not one to dwell on such things. Although he had no parents in this life, he had experienced family in his past life.
Xi Yuxiao moved a chair to the table and sat down, placing her hands on it as she looked at Gu An, "It's strange, but I feel very distant from my parents. Other children in the clan have close relationships with their parents, but whenever my mother comes near me, I feel very uncomfortable..."
She began to share her inner thoughts, and Gu An listened attentively.
As it turned out, when he was young, Gu An had often heard other servants and maids discussing the third young miss's distant relationship with her parents, which often made her mother sad. However, because of her extraordinary talent, everyone had to be kind to her, and even her parents did not dare to be too critical.
Gu An guessed that although Xi Yuxiao did not remember her past life, her personality and intelligence remained intact. She just needed time to adapt.
As Xi Yuxiao recounted her childhood experiences and inner feelings, Gu An occasionally agreed, analyzing from an outsider's perspective. Despite the age gap, they chatted quite happily.
As they talked, a smile gradually appeared on Xi Yuxiao's face, dispelling her usual cold demeanor.
They continued chatting until dusk, when Xi Yuxiao stood up, saying, "It's getting dark. I need to go practice."
Gu An nodded with a smile.
This little girl was more talkative than in her past life.
But occasionally chatting with a child was not such a bad thing.
Suddenly, Xi Yuxiao said, "Valley Lord, for some reason, I feel very close to you, as if I've known you for a long time."
Gu An replied, "That means we have a connection. Welcome to my medicinal valley."
Rewritten Text
Emily smiled and then bowed to him like a little adult.
After she closed the door, Ethan picked up the book on the table and continued reading.
As night fell, he sensed Emily beginning to cultivate downstairs.
He felt the presence of the Primordial Path Emblem.
The emblem still contained an unfathomable power, aiding Emily in her cultivation.
Ethan didn't keep watching her and soon returned to his book.
...
The azure sea and sky stretched out, with floating islands dotted across the horizon. Birds flew in formation, and cultivators came and went.
On one of the floating islands, a palace stood majestically. Inside, the light was bright, and the floor shimmered a deep blue like the ocean's surface.
Austin sat in the water of a pool, surrounded by mist. His black hair floated slightly, and a faint glow, like a flame, emanated from his skin.
A figure appeared by the pool, a man in a long robe with a sage-like demeanor. He held a Feather Duster and had white hair tied under a Lotus Crown. Three different-shaped flying swords hovered behind him.
"Disciple, you must not leave the Stellar Ocean Clan for a while. Your master is heading to the Fractured Sea Chasm and won't return for an unknown period," the man in the long robe said.
He was known as Floating Sage, Austin's master in the Stellar Ocean Clan.
Austin opened his eyes and looked at him, frowning. "Why can't I leave? I don't have any divine city."
Clearly, he was unhappy about Lena being restricted, as they both came from the Terra Gate and were considered fellow townsfolk. Seeing his friend suffer, he couldn't be happy.
Floating Sage shook his head. "Your situation is different, and your troubles are greater. A divine resentful spirit with an ancient treasure body has appeared in the Fractured Sea Chasm. Once a transcendent immortal, it can traverse the heavens and is known as Tian Wuchang. Tian Wuchang plans to devour all treasure bodies in the world and will eventually target you. His Dao cultivation is even stronger than a transcendent immortal."
Stronger than a transcendent immortal!
Austin's expression changed slightly. He now understood the realms of immortality but could only grasp up to the transcendent level. Beyond that was taboo, not to be casually explored.
Floating Sage comforted him, "If you stay in the Stellar Ocean Clan, he won't harm you. So, do not leave. Wait until the clans can destroy the divine resentful spirit at the bottom of the Fractured Sea Chasm."
Austin nodded. He wouldn't risk it and test Tian Wuchang's strength.
No matter how talented he was, he knew he was still weak in the grand scheme of things, almost a bottom-tier cultivator.
After that, Floating Sage gave a few more instructions and left.
Austin raised his right hand, and a stream of flames surged from his palm, coalescing into a small sun. The firelight illuminated his face, which remained calm.
"Tian Wuchang, Supreme Treasure Body, why do I want to devour you?"
...
The summer heat was intense.
In the Third Elixir Valley, Ethan rode the Great Blood Prison Saint down from the teleportation platform. Today, he had gone to the Horizon Valley to harvest a batch of medicinal herbs and spent half an hour in the Mystic Valley.
Ethan looked into the distance, his eyes on the Mystic Clear Tree.
Under the Mystic Clear Tree, Emily was staring at it, while Liam stood beside her, saying something.
Ethan patted the Great Blood Prison Saint, indicating he should head towards the Mystic Clear Tree.
"Girl, my sword technique is really powerful. Are you sure you don't want to learn it?"
"Learn it, I see you have great talent. You must have a formidable skill to rely on."
"Why won't you listen, girl? I am the crown prince!"
No matter how Liam tried to persuade her, Emily ignored him, making him stomp his foot in frustration.
At that moment, Ethan's voice drifted over, "Your sword technique should first prove itself against Jian'er."
Liam turned around, scratching his head awkwardly and smiling.
Ethan dismounted and walked towards Emily, saying, "Don't disturb her, or I'll make Jian'er take you to cultivate."
Liam's face changed, and he hurriedly left.
When Ethan reached Emily, she was staring at the Mystic Clear Tree, lost in thought.
The bickering of the Great Blood Prison Saint and Liam echoed from behind, with the Great Blood Prison Saint always getting under Liam's skin.
Ethan watched Emily, amazed.
Had she started comprehending the Dao just a month into the valley?
That was too incredible!
He didn't disturb her, standing guard to prevent other disciples from bothering her.
As dusk approached, Emily finally snapped out of her trance.
Ethan guessed it was her body's natural response, forcing her to cultivate at night.
Emily turned her head and saw Ethan, smiling. "Brother Ethan, why are you here? Are you done with your tasks today?"
Ethan ruffled her hair. "I finished long ago. What were you thinking about just now?"
Emily recalled and said, "I saw some memories, but they weren't mine."
"Oh? What did you see?"
"I saw myself standing in the sky, with many demons and humans kneeling before me."
As she spoke, Emily's face showed a hint of discomfort. She felt like she was talking about a dream, but she had indeed seen it.
