Chapter 308: The Ten-Thousand-Year Summit
Chapter 308: The Ten-Thousand-Year Summit
Yang Jian saw the expression on Lu Xianyi's face and knew that he had heard of Journey to the West but had never read it. Given his demeanor, he was most likely from overseas.
Without further ado, Yang Jian took a book from his chest and handed it to Lu Xianyi.
"This is my favorite book, the greatest oddity of all time. I present it to you, Senior."
Lu Xianyi immediately reached out to take the book, even bowing to Yang Jian, which made the latter wary.
What's going on?
Did this guy sense my hidden cultivation?
Lu Xianyi, noticing Yang Jian's change in expression, spoke up, "Thank you. I'll take a look at this book right away. I have nothing else to do, anyway."
With that, he turned and left.
Yang Jian watched him walk away, pondered for a moment, then continued weeding.
It wasn't until evening that Xuantian Yi finally left.
Gu An looked at the book on the table, his face filled with anticipation.
The latest Green Knight's Journey!
Xuantian Yi truly lived up to his status as a sage in Gu An's heart. Despite the chaos of the past few years, this young man still managed to write a book.
Green Knight's Journey was based on real experiences and focused on romantic relationships, suggesting that Xuantian Yi had accumulated more romantic entanglements over the years.
Gu An took a deep breath and picked up Green Knight's Journey with both hands.
The moon outside the window was full, and the valley was filled with the chirping of insects, creating an atmosphere that made him even more eager to read.
He wasn't the only one reading in the valley; Lu Xianyi, staying in the guest room, was also engrossed in Journey to the West, his brow furrowed as he calculated with his fingers.
...
Seven days later.
Gu An rode the Blood Prison Great Sage to the Horizon Valley to gather medicinal herbs. Inside the valley, only Luo Hun, Lu Xian, and the three monkey demons remained; Yi Liuyun, Ji Ruolai, and Li Lingtian had not returned.
High above the clouds, Lu Xianyi looked down at the Horizon Valley, his brow still furrowed.
Listening to Gu An and Luo Hun's conversation, he finally relaxed his guard.
This young man could be planting seeds for the Tai Xuan Sect, and even working tirelessly for the imperial court. It was almost impossible for him to have a significant background. Because of his lack of background, he was so humble.
Lu Xianyi turned and left, planning to visit the Tai Xuan Sect. He had heard that The Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West could be connected, and he wanted to see what The Investiture of the Gods was about.
Gu An, who was weeding, smiled at the corner of his mouth.
Beside him, Luo Hun continued, "What do you think?"
"I'll decline. I don't want to leave the Tai Xuan Sect. Thank the Emperor and the Crown Prince for their kindness, but I won't go to the imperial city," Gu An replied.
Luo Hun smiled, "The Crown Prince always talks about defeating Yang Jian. He has been training hard these years, and even received guidance from a great ocean cultivator. You should let Yang Jian know."
Gu An nodded, "Alright, Old Luo, you're getting old."
"Old? Why do you say that?"
"You've become more talkative. When you borrowed Green Knight's Journey from me, you hardly spoke."
"Have you the nerve to mention it? Green Knight's Journey hasn't had a new volume, and the secret transmission of the Tai Xuan Sect you asked me to find is still missing."
"Read more of Journey to the West, it will help you cultivate your mind."
Gu An continued to pick herbs while bantering with Luo Hun.
Time continued to flow.
Autumn turned to winter, and snow began to fall from the sky.
One day, while reading in the Eight Scenic Caves, Gu An suddenly sensed something and immediately took out a green jade, the Human Jade, a symbol of the peak master and a magical artifact.
He probed his divine sense into it and soon learned that the Ten-Thousand-Year Summit was about to begin.
He thought for a moment, stood up, and vanished from the spot.
The Human Jade contained a directional guide, but Gu An didn't need it; he had already found the location of the Human Peak.
The Human Peak was extremely distant from the Tai Xuan Sect, situated in a foggy ocean with no islands or continents, only towering peaks emerged from the sea, piercing the clouds.
Gu An appeared at the edge of Human Peak and then soared forward on the clouds.
Before long, he saw more and more cultivators heading in the same direction.
Gu An didn't speed up; he flew at a leisurely pace, taking in the scenery along the way.
He was considering whether to plant medicinal herbs on his own peak as the peak master.
Once at Human Peak, he couldn't rely solely on himself to gather herbs, as that would be too suspicious. After all, he was a celestial cultivator here.
"Please stop, Daoist friend!"
A voice called out from behind, and Gu An halted, turning to look.
Two cultivators were approaching on flying swords, one male and one female, both at the Nirvana Realm.
Gu An used his lifespan detection to identify them: the male was Xu Ruo Hai, and the female was Xu Xi. Their maximum lifespans weren't outstanding, but they weren't mediocre either.
The two reached Gu An, and Xu Ruo Hai extended his hand, bowing in greeting, "I am Xu Ruo Hai, and this is my sister, Xu Xi. May I ask your name, Daoist friend?"
Gu An returned the gesture, "I am Meng Lang. What brings you two here?"
Xu Ruo Hai smiled, "Are you also heading to Human Peak? We were just about to go there ourselves. How about we travel together?"
Though he couldn't discern Gu An's cultivation level, Gu An didn't seem threatening. Moreover, Xu Ruo Hai noticed Gu An wasn't flying fast, looking around curiously, clearly a first-timer.
Xu Xi sized up Gu An, and when he met her gaze, she immediately looked away, her ears slightly flushed.
Interesting, she's still shy after living for over eight thousand years.
Gu An thought to himself and nodded.
Xu Ruo Hai became even more enthusiastic, and the three of them flew and chatted together.
Gu An asked them about Human Peak, confirming his suspicion that this was his first visit.
Xu Xi was quiet, mostly letting her brother do the talking, occasionally interjecting with additional information.
Through their conversation, Gu An gained a clearer understanding of Human Peak.
At the same time, he thought of the brother and sister he had last met in Xiao Sheng Tian, remembering their adventures. He couldn't help feeling a bit of regret, which made him slightly more fond of Xu Ruo Hai and Xu Xi.
Half an hour later,
The three of them passed through a dense fog, their attention drawn to a towering peak ahead. It was a magnificent mountain, larger than any they had encountered along the way, with a diameter of at least a thousand miles, rising into the sky, its summit invisible.
The mountain's surface was densely forested, teeming with life, and cultivators from all directions flew toward it.
Upon arrival, the heavens and earth grew noisy, with distant roars and cries of spirit beasts and mounts.
Xu Ruo Hai looked ahead, sighing, "No wonder it's Human Peak, one of the oldest sects in the world. I've wanted to join Human Peak since childhood, but I wonder if I'll pass the trials."
Gu An smiled, "With your cultivation, you'll make it. Don't worry."
Xu Ruo Hai sighed, "Brother Meng, you might not know, but Human Peak is very selective about..."
"Ha ha ha, Daoist friend Meng, you finally Made It!"
A boisterous laugh echoed from the sky, cutting off Xu Ruo Hai.
Gu An didn't need to look up to know Bai Ziya had arrived. He had intentionally leaked a hint of his celestial cultivator aura, which Xu Ruo Hai and Xu Xi hadn't detected, but Bai Ziya had quickly found him.
Bai Ziya descended from the sky, grabbing Gu An's hand to pull him up.
"If you hadn't come, your position as peak master would have been taken!" Bai Ziya grunted.
Gu An quickly said, "I want to bring them along."
Bai Ziya glanced at Xu Ruo Hai and Xu Xi, nodding slightly.
Xu Ruo Hai and Xu Xi were taken aback.
Peak master position?
They couldn't have heard wrong, could they?
Third watch!
