Chapter 286: The Life-Stealing Immortal and the Anger of the Sea
Name: Gu An

Constitution: Primordial Causal Body
Cultivation: 9th Layer of the Miraculous Spirit Immortal Realm
...
Beneath the tree, Gu An lay back to rest, checking his attribute panel. Seeing his lifespan, he smiled.
It had been twenty-one years since his last breakthrough, and he had already accumulated over twelve million years of lifespan. Gu An was quite satisfied, proving that he hadn't been slacking.
If he could maintain this pace, reaching a hundred million years of lifespan wouldn't be far off.
After checking his attributes, Gu An scanned the Great Rift of the Broken Sea with his divine sense.
Not long ago, Zhang Buku had become a disciple of the Mysterious Realm Lord, and Gu An could feel the Mysterious Realm Lord's goodwill. Moreover, the Mysterious Realm Lord wasn't just paying lip service; he had already started teaching Zhang Buku earnestly and hadn't left his cave.
However, this situation suggested that the Mysterious Realm Lord was in a hurry, likely indicating that the great calamity spoken of by Steal the Five Elements was approaching.
Gu An wasn't too worried, though. The Mysterious Realm Lord must have other means at his disposal; otherwise, how could he dare to create such a massive rift in the sea?
He would let them fight it out first. Once Zhang Buku was involved, he would consider intervening.
Gu An wouldn't involve himself directly in any disputes unless he was certain he could resolve the root of the problem.
Zhang Buku was in a good situation, and Gu An felt relieved.
"Everyone is doing well, everyone is busy, busy in a good way."
Gu An used his divine sense to scan everyone he knew, seeing that they were all well, he smiled.
He sat up, stretched, and then got up and left the place.
On the way, he greeted the disciples he encountered, who returned his greetings with smiles, showing no airs.
He arrived at the pavilion, where he saw Yang Jian talking with the Blood Prison Great Sage about cultivation matters. The Blood Prison Great Sage was also a body cultivator, which was why he possessed the divine beast's true blood.
Seeing Gu An approach, Yang Jian quickly stood up and bowed.
Gu An thought for a moment and said, "Rest well. In a while, I'll take you to spar with others to test your true strength."
Yang Jian's eyes lit up at this. He usually could only spar with Li Lingtian, which was rather boring. Hearing that he could engage in a real battle, how could he not be happy?
Without waiting for a reply, Gu An stepped up the stairs.
In the distance.
Steal the Five Elements, who was playing chess with someone, stared at Yang Jian, lost in thought. He could tell that Yang Jian was a kind of ancient treasure body, which made him even more curious about Gu An. No wonder this person could establish a close relationship with the reincarnation of the Emperor of the Cycle. He must be quite extraordinary.
Steal the Five Elements didn't plan to investigate Gu An but intended to form a good connection with Yang Jian.
Regardless, as long as Yang Jian could live to ten thousand years, he would surely become a renowned existence. Forming a connection with such an existence would naturally be beneficial.
Steal the Five Elements began to consider what spells or abilities to teach Yang Jian.
Gu An didn't mind him guiding other disciples, so he wouldn't stop him from teaching Yang Jian.
That evening, Steal the Five Elements found Yang Jian.
"Little brother, I've observed you for a while and feel that your aptitude and insight are extraordinary. I have a set of palm techniques. Would you like to learn them?" Steal the Five Elements smiled and asked.
Yang Jian knew that he was a great cultivator, after all, he could beat the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord in a game of Go.
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior, but there's no need," Yang Jian bowed and declined.
Steal the Five Elements was taken aback and asked, "Do you think I'm not powerful enough?"
Yang Jian shook his head and said, "To be honest, I'm not interested in palm techniques. Techniques and abilities for the body are not as effective as enhancing physical strength."
Steal the Five Elements became interested and curiously asked, "Then what do you want to learn?"
Yang Jian, seeing his persistence, asked, "Senior, have you read the Investiture of the Gods or Journey to the West?"
Steal the Five Elements nodded and said, "Of course, I've read them. You call yourself Yang Jian; do you want to become a figure like him? But those are just made-up books. The techniques and abilities in the books don't truly exist."
Yang Jian, hearing this, could only shake his head and turn to leave.
"Wait, how about I teach you a set of spear techniques? This is the most powerful spear technique I have. Once mastered, it can dominate an era, and few can match you. It would be very suitable for your constitution," Steal the Five Elements quickly called out to Yang Jian.
Yang Jian stopped, looked at him, and his eyes held a hint of anticipation.
Steal the Five Elements smiled and said, "This spear technique is called the Thirty-Six Heaven-Annihilating Dao Spear. It's very difficult to master, and no one in this era has inherited it."
Yang Jian, hearing this, said, "Is that so? Then I'll give it a try. Thank you, Senior."
"Let's find a secluded place to practice."
"Alright!"
The two of them walked deep into the medicinal valley, where the Blood Prison Great Sage had also become interested and followed. Steal the Five Elements didn't drive him away, as he believed that Yang Jian couldn't possibly master it.
Yang Jian, however, had an ancient treasure body, which was rare in this era.
Inside the pavilion, Gu An also noticed this scene but wasn't concerned. Steal the Five Elements shouldn't cause trouble; if he did, he would be courting death.
Moreover, Gu An was also quite interested in the Thirty-Six Heaven-Annihilating Dao Spear, wondering if it was truly as powerful as claimed.
The next morning, as the sky just brightened, the disciples gathered together to prepare for their morning exercises.
Gu An watched as Yang Jian quickly approached, followed by Steal the Five Elements.
Steal the Five Elements had a dazed expression, lacking his usual composure, as if he had been shocked.
Gu An found it rather amusing that Qiwuxing was so shocked. It was clear that Yang Jian’s comprehension and physique had startled him. In just one night, Yang Jian had managed to initially master the Thirty-Six Heaven-Annihilating Spears, even though he hadn’t yet unleashed the true power of the technique, it was enough to shock Qiwuxing.
He suspected that Yang Jian’s physique was among the top-tier ancient treasures, but unfortunately, Tian Wuchang had already vanished. Otherwise, he could have returned to consult Tian Wuchang, who knew the most about ancient treasured physiques.
"What were you doing?" Li Lingtian looked at Yang Jian, surprised.
Yang Jian’s aura was chaotic, clearly indicating he hadn’t rested well the previous night.
"Just practicing, don’t ask too much," Yang Jian replied evasively.
Li Lingtian’s gaze shifted to Qiwuxing in the distance, understanding the situation.
After the training session, Li Lingtian found Qiwuxing and asked if he had taught Yang Jian any techniques. Qiwuxing didn’t hide it and nodded.
"Can you teach me too? My talent isn’t bad either!" Li Lingtian immediately followed up.
Qiwuxing sized him up and said, "Your talent is indeed good, but not enough to impress me. Work on improving your cultivation first. When I find you pleasing, I’ll teach you."
"Pleasing?"
Li Lingtian was furious. From a young age, he had always been doted on by others. When had he ever been rejected? Even when he came to the Third Medicine Valley, Gu An hadn’t refused him!
Li Lingtian gritted his teeth and left with a flick of his sleeve.
Qiwuxing wasn’t bothered at all. Li Lingtian’s karma was simple, and the forces behind him couldn’t threaten him.
He even looked forward to the forces behind Li Lingtian causing him trouble, adding a bit of excitement to his life.
Qiwuxing was about to go play chess when he was stopped by Shenzhenzi.
"Amitabha, sir, let’s chat?" Shenzhenzi stared at Qiwuxing, his face serious.
Qiwuxing smiled and nodded, then the two of them left the Third Medicine Valley.
...
Autumn arrived, and the Third Medicine Valley gradually turned a withered yellow, with disciples sweeping fallen leaves everywhere.
In the pavilion, Shen Zhen was excitedly telling Gu An about her new masterpiece, but Gu An wasn’t interested in her "Journey to the South." His divine consciousness was looking out to sea.
Above the Great Sea Rift, a shocking battle was taking place, one person fighting three divine ghost kings, and that person was winning.
Heaven-defying immortal!
The divine ghost kings were already at the ninth level of heaven-defying immortals, yet there was another heaven-defying immortal who could suppress them single-handedly. How could Gu An not be curious?
"Are you listening?" Shen Zhen asked, dissatisfied.
Gu An laughed and said, "Of course. I’m more curious about your cultivation than your books."
【Shen Zhen (7th Level of the Yuan Baby Realm): 231/880/4400】
Shen Zhen’s maximum lifespan had actually increased! This surprised Gu An, as her maximum lifespan had previously been just a little over two thousand years.
Pity his junior sister and brother, who struggled with cultivation, never finding the opportunity to comprehend the Dao. Shen Zhen spent her days writing and painting, lazy to cultivate, yet her maximum lifespan had increased. Where was the logic in that?
Perhaps writing and painting were also a path of cultivation.
Shen Zhen coughed and her face showed some discomfort. "It’s fine, I’ve been working hard."
Gu An didn’t have the heart to expose her. Every time he used his divine consciousness to check on her, she was either writing, painting, or playing the zither, and most importantly, living alone in her cave, she never seemed tired.
Of course, now it seemed that her actions weren’t meaningless.
From the look on Shen Zhen’s face, she hadn’t realized her talent and comprehension had grown.
Gu An didn’t point it out to her. Since she was still young, there was no need to rush into cultivation. If he mentioned it, she might never find that feeling again.
"How about you? Why does it seem your cultivation hasn’t progressed?" Shen Zhen raised an eyebrow and asked.
Gu An’s face darkened at the question, and he sighed.
Shen Zhen frowned and asked, "What’s wrong? Is there trouble?"
"Nothing, just feeling more and more the weight of fate. Even with medicinal herbs and alchemy, I find it hard to break through. You wouldn’t understand this feeling. I can’t see the future of cultivation, perhaps this is my future." Gu An sighed.
Shen Zhen, after hearing this, opened her mouth to offer comfort but found no words to say.
Talent was reality. Gu An’s good friend Wu Jue had already soared to the heavens, and Li Ya had become the face of the TaiXuan Gate.
Gu An forced a smile and said, "Miss Shen, my life is short, but yours is different..."
Just as he was about to continue, a vast pressure enveloped the heavens and earth, cutting off his words. Then, a majestic and unrivaled voice echoed through the world:
"I am the Life-Seizing Immortal of the Great Cold Demon Sect. Today, I stand at the Great Sea Rift. Within a hundred years, if no one can defeat me, I will annihilate all who hear my words, to quench the ocean’s wrath!"
The Great Cold Demon Sect!
Gu An had heard of this sect, a demon sect comparable to the Bitter Sea Buddhist Sect. According to Bai Zixia, the Great Cold Demon Sect was one of the few demon sects acknowledged by the Holy Court. Though it was a demon sect, the places they slaughtered were all abandoned by the Holy Court.
Could it be that their continent and surrounding seas had all been abandoned by the Holy Court?
Thank you, Peachyuan, for the 1500 coins.~~
