Chapter 309: The Unreachable
Chapter 309: The Unreachable
Gu An saw that Xu Ruo Hai and his sister were still in shock and immediately rolled up his sleeves, scooping them into his palm before following Bai Ziya upward.
Bai Ziya raised an eyebrow, smiling, "Meng Dao, your abilities are impressive!"
To Xu Ruo Hai and Xu Xi, it wasn't that they had shrunk, but rather that Gu An and Bai Ziya had grown to an enormous size. This visual impact was incredibly awe-inspiring, leaving the siblings speechless.
Hearing Gu An and Bai Ziya chatting, Xu Xi regained her composure and turned to Xu Ruo Hai, cautiously asking, "Brother, the senior just now mentioned Meng Dao... he's the peak master?"
She naturally knew what a peak master represented. On Human Peak, the peak master held immense power and symbolized the status of a strong cultivator, a legendary figure.
Xu Ruo Hai's heart was in turmoil, but he tried to remain calm, nodding slightly without a word.
He carefully recalled their earlier conversation, realizing he hadn't offended the other party, and the other party had even reassured him about successfully joining Human Peak.
Xu Ruo Hai's eyes lit up, his heart beginning to race, and the fists in his sleeves were already clenched tight.
Meanwhile, Bai Ziya began to explain the situation of the Ten Thousand Year Summit.
The Ten Thousand Year Summit wasn't strictly held every ten thousand years. It had been twenty thousand years since the last one, and Bai Ziya, who rarely returned, had convened it with the other peak masters.
The Ten Thousand Year Summit not only recruited new disciples but also invited friendly forces.
Before the Ten Thousand Year Summit, Bai Ziya would take Gu An to choose an unoccupied Divine Peak.
Human Peak had many peaks, divided into four levels from low to high: Sea Peak, Immortal Peak, Divine Peak, and Supreme Peak. The Supreme Peak was the highest level, with only one peak, while there were twenty-five Divine Peaks. The standard for the master of a Divine Peak was the Heavenly Flying Immortal realm.
Gu An was curious. Could the masters of the Divine Peaks be lacking?
Bai Ziya replied that many Heavenly Flying Immortals yearned to explore beyond the heavens, so whenever there was an opportunity, many were willing to vacate their positions.
Seeing that Gu An didn't react too strongly, Bai Ziya breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed his initial attempt to intimidate Gu An had worked.
He had exaggerated the dangers of the world beyond to keep Gu An in the vast Heavenly Spirit Realm.
Moreover, for someone like Gu An, who had no background, to achieve the Heavenly Flying Immortal realm through closed-door cultivation was unimaginable for a genius. Even without exploring the world beyond, he could still make progress.
They continued to fly upward, and gradually the vast blue sky disappeared, replaced by the brilliant starry sky.
Xu Ruo Hai and Xu Xi stood in Gu An's palm, looking up and immersing themselves in the grandeur of the universe.
Gu An followed Bai Ziya into a grand hall, where he set down Xu Ruo Hai and Xu Xi, instructing them to follow behind him.
The hall was vast, with immense, awe-inspiring statues on either side, and the ceiling adorned with various magnificent scenes. Xu Ruo Hai and Xu Xi were cautious, not daring to make a sound, closely following Gu An.
As they progressed, Gu An saw twenty-five blue-violet crystal pillars, each containing regulated power and countless restrictions, suggesting that Human Peak likely harbored profound mystical techniques.
Even a Free Immortal would find it challenging to create such crystal pillars.
Bai Ziya stopped, pointing to two adjacent crystal pillars, saying, "These two Divine Peaks are available, named Heaven-Bearing Peak and Heaven-Stabilizing Peak..."
He began to introduce Heaven-Bearing Peak and Heaven-Stabilizing Peak.
Heaven-Bearing Peak had over a million disciples, its height was moderate, and due to its long history, the disciples' cultivation levels were generally strong.
Heaven-Stabilizing Peak was the second highest among the Divine Peaks, but due to a previous internal turmoil, it suffered a gap in disciples, with the majority of disciples below the Loose Immortal realm. Resources were scarce, and many areas were idle.
Currently, Heaven-Stabilizing Peak had slightly over two hundred thousand disciples.
Gu An immediately said, "Then let's choose Heaven-Stabilizing Peak. I'll work hard to improve it and contribute to Human Peak."
Hearing this, Bai Ziya looked at Gu An with newfound respect.
Afterward, Bai Ziya had Gu An take out his Human Jade and place it on the crystal pillar.
After completing this, they proceeded to other halls, a tedious process mainly to unlock Gu An's authority on Heaven-Stabilizing Peak.
Xu Ruo Hai and Xu Xi were also registered, becoming disciples of Heaven-Stabilizing Peak.
Half an hour later, Bai Ziya led Gu An and the two to Heaven-Stabilizing Peak, then left.
He didn't stay to help Gu An settle in, jokingly, did a Heavenly Flying Immortal need help?
Who would dare to cause trouble? That would be courting death!
On Human Peak, disciples were not allowed to bump into the peak master!
Xu Ruo Hai and Xu Xi gazed at the magnificent and grand Heaven-Stabilizing Peak, their faces filled with excitement.
Gu An looked at them and smiled, asking, "From now on, how should you address me?"
Xu Ruo Hai hurriedly bowed, saying, "Disciple Xu Ruo Hai greets Master!"
Xu Xi also came to her senses, following suit and calling out, "Master."
Gu An smiled, then revealed the aura of a Heavenly Flying Immortal, enveloping Heaven-Stabilizing Peak.
At this moment, Xu Ruo Hai and Xu Xi truly felt Gu An's formidable power.
The three flew to the peak, and soon nine Wandering Immortals came to greet them. Without a word, Gu An showed his Human Jade.
The nine Wandering Immortals' faces lit up, bowing respectfully and addressing Gu An as Master.
Gu An scanned their lifespans, finding them all in good health, capable of serving him for many years.
The eldest disciple of the Heavenly Peak, Zhu Xinglan, had reached the ninth level of the Immortal Realm, seemingly just one step away from the Heavenly Immortal Realm. However, for most Immortal Realm cultivators, that final step was an insurmountable barrier.
Gu An dismissed the other disciples and asked Zhu Xinglan to accompany him, while he had already assigned Xu Ruo and Hai to assist with arrangements.
Zhu Xinglan exuded a refined and elegant demeanor, appearing to be in his forties, dressed in a green robe with a mix of black and white beard. He stroked his beard, looking both steady and dignified.
Gu An had Zhu Xinglan show him around the Heavenly Peak.
Two hours passed in a blink.
After settling into his new residence, Gu An prepared to leave. Before he went, he gave Zhu Xinglan a large amount of spirit stones to purchase medicinal herbs and plant them on the Heavenly Peak. Zhu Xinglan was thrilled, feeling that the Heavenly Peak had welcomed a capable peak master.
Upon returning to the Third Medicine Valley, Gu An transformed from the lofty peak master of the Human Peak to an ordinary valley master of the TaiXuan Gate.
In the evening, Gu An found Qie Wuxing and the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord, still engrossed in a game of chess, wasting time.
Curious, Gu An asked, “Where did Divine Heart go?”
The Nine-Fingered Divine Lord casually replied, “He’s said to be attending the Myriad Year Summit of the Human Peak. He just left.”
“Human Peak?”
“Yeah, an ancient sect of destiny and qi. Don’t bother asking; you’ll never encounter it in your lifetime. It’s even more powerful than the Great Cold Demon Sect.”
The Nine-Fingered Divine Lord casually answered, earning a glare from Gu An, who then turned and left.
Qie Wuxing chuckled, “That’s not certain. He invented this chess game, so perhaps he will have great fortune in the future.”
“Who knows? You’re so capable, yet you haven’t helped him.”
The Nine-Fingered Divine Lord casually replied, though he was familiar with Gu An, he had no intention of altering his fate.
Given Gu An’s potential, even joining a major sect might not be a good thing for him.
At least here, Gu An could live a carefree and happy life.
Hearing their words, Gu An felt a quiet amusement.
If I reveal my true realm, you might not have even heard of it!
Gu An snorted and went to chat with Ji Xiaoyu.
With some time still before the Myriad Year Summit, Gu An didn’t rush to leave.
A few days later, Gu An arrived at the Immortal Seeking Island and had a final conversation with the island’s owner. From now on, the island belonged to him.
Due to the catastrophe brought by the Great Cold Demon Sect, the forces behind the island’s owner had withdrawn and were unwilling to return. They could only sell the island to make a profit.
Before leaving, the island’s owner told Gu An, “It’s best if you have a cultivator from your backing forces come to the island, or it won’t be manageable.”
Gu An nodded with a smile.
After the owner and his people left, Gu An turned to Hu Xiaojian and said with a smile, “From now on, the Immortal Seeking Island is mine, and I won’t neglect you.”
Hu Xiaojian immediately knelt down, excitedly bowing to Gu An.
Gu An then summoned the elders of the Sea Guarding Mansion and briefly instructed them. Upon hearing that Gu An would arrange for an Immortal Realm cultivator to come later, all the elders became more respectful and no longer underestimated him.
Gu An wasn’t exaggerating; the Heavenly Peak had Immortal Realm cultivators, and he could easily arrange for one.
Besides, he was using Meng Lang’s identity on the Immortal Seeking Island.
Time passed quickly.
By the time the Spring Festival was over, the Myriad Year Summit of the Human Peak was finally about to begin.
Above the sea of clouds, the Western Spirit Holy Mother stood on a lotus throne, flying swiftly, with Lu Lingjun beside her. On her shoulder, a small snake, the White Spirit Demon Empress, who had ascended with her, rested.
Lu Lingjun’s beautiful eyes widened as she looked at the mountain peaks ahead, visible through the mist, as if she were seeing a paradise on earth.
The White Spirit Demon Empress flicked her tongue curiously and asked, “Compared to the Great Cold Demon Sect, which is stronger, the Human Peak?”
Lu Lingjun couldn’t help but glance at the Western Spirit Holy Mother, her eyes filled with curiosity.
She still remembered the Great Cold Demon Sect’s siege of the continent, an unforgettable sight.
At that time, the Great Cold Demon Sect seemed invincible.
“In terms of historical depth, the Human Peak is stronger, and it holds significant influence within the Holy Court. Even our Bitter Sea Buddhist Sect can’t compare,” the Western Spirit Holy Mother replied, her face calm.
This response made Lu Lingjun and the White Spirit Demon Empress even more aware of the Human Peak’s power.
The Western Spirit Holy Mother continued to recount the history of the Human Peak.
As Lu Lingjun listened, she looked into the distance, growing more anticipatory of the Myriad Year Summit.
As they passed through layers of clouds, they never stopped gazing at the mountains along the way.
Gradually, more and more cultivators appeared in their field of vision, all invited from powerful sects, each exuding a formidable aura.
Lu Lingjun and the White Spirit Demon Empress, who hadn’t even reached the Great Ascension Realm, felt a sense of tension and discomfort as they encountered cultivators and beasts far stronger than themselves.
But they were ascenders and wouldn’t show any fear!
Their hearts were filled with greater ambition!
One day, they would come here as invited guests, not relying on others to bring them.
Lu Lingjun couldn’t help but think of Gu An. That young man had written the divine book. If he could see this scene firsthand, it would surely inspire him even more.
Unfortunately, given Gu An’s potential and temperament, he would never come to such a place in his lifetime.
