Chapter 310: The Unconquerable Celestial Tyrant
Chapter 310: The Unconquerable Celestial Tyrant
At the summit of Human World Peak, in a courtyard atop the mountain, Gu An gathered with numerous Sky Earth Flying Immortals. All those present were either peak masters or elders of the main peak.
The courtyard was ancient and not particularly spacious, filled with various flowers, trees, and a faint scent of sandalwood. Gu An engaged in polite conversation with everyone.
No matter how high one's cultivation realm, social interaction was inevitable.
Gu An didn't mind; after all, he planned to stay at Human World Peak for the long term, and this place would be an important source of lifespan extension.
Overall, the atmosphere was harmonious, and there was no sign of scheming or rivalry—at least for now.
The master of the main peak, as Gu An had guessed, was Freedom Primordial Immortal, and not of a low cultivation level.
Eternal Year Daoist (Freedom Primordial Immortal, 6th Layer): 267,907/780,000/1,500,000
A limit lifespan of 1.5 million years!
Surpassing Divine Heart Son's 999,999 years, it seemed that reaching the Freedom Primordial Immortal realm would bring about a transformation in limit lifespan.
With the 6th layer of Freedom Primordial Immortal having a lifespan of 780,000 years, Marvelously Lawful Spirit Immortal would definitely surpass a million years, and the higher Dao Void Profound Immortals would undoubtedly have lifespans of several million years, or even more.
Gu An couldn't even estimate how long the Divine Mind True Immortals had lived; they were ancient monsters.
Compared to them, Gu An felt like an infant.
After interacting with everyone, Gu An began to listen attentively.
Ten Thousand Year Summit would be hosting a banquet, where the higher-ups of various sects would gather to discuss the Dao and engage in peak duels. This served two purposes: to foster internal competition and to showcase the strength of Human World Peak to the world. As for recruiting disciples, it was merely a secondary concern; with Human World Peak's current foundation, they didn't care about the number of new disciples.
After some time, the Human World Peak's high-level meeting concluded, and Gu An set off alone towards Firm Sky Peak.
He dispersed his divine sense and had already located Lu Lingjun and Divine Heart Son.
Divine Heart Son was fine; with his 9th-layer Immortal Traveling Realm cultivation, he was treated with respect wherever he went. However, Lu Lingjun, who was only at the Profound Realm, couldn't accompany him. Without Xi Ling Holy Mother by her side, she could only stay in the courtyard where she was temporarily residing.
Lu Lingjun lived on a mountain peak, enjoying a panoramic view. Along the way, many cultivators and demons gave her curious looks, making her feel uncomfortable.
Gu An glanced at her and then averted his gaze, not paying too much attention.
Upon returning to Firm Sky Peak, Gu An strolled leisurely, as no disciples recognized him along the way.
Firm Sky Peak had many spiral mountain paths, and along these paths, one could see the courtyards of the disciples. Some cultivated flowers and plants, while others had empty courtyards. There were also those who raised demon beasts and insects, which Gu An found quite interesting.
Firm Sky Peak had several mountain cities, equivalent to the cities of Taixuan Sect. One could purchase anything they desired within these cities, though they weren't as crowded as Taixuan Sect's cities.
As Gu An passed by one of the mountain cities, a voice called out in surprise.
Gu An turned to see Xu Xi approaching with quick steps.
As soon as she saw Gu An, her ears turned red, and she lowered her head shyly, which made Gu An feel at ease.
But this ease wasn't due to shyness; it was gentleness.
Gu An smiled and asked, "Where's your brother? Why are you alone?"
Xu Xi kept her head down, her hands clutching her sleeves, and she replied softly, "He went to Dao Discussion Peak, hoping to meet familiar faces or clan members."
Dao Discussion Peak was where Human World Peak received guests. This time, the Ten Thousand Year Summit gathering had turned the usually quiet Dao Discussion Peak into a bustling place.
Seeing Xu Xi's demeanor, Gu An's smile widened, and he took out a secret manual, handing it to Xu Xi. "Meeting is fate. Consider this cultivation method as a gift. You can also pass it on to Xu Ruohai."
Xu Xi looked up, instinctively took a step back, and waved her hands. "If it weren't for you, Master, we might not have the chance to join Human World Peak. How could we accept cultivation methods so easily? We will work hard and earn cultivation methods through our own efforts."
Gu An gave her a stern look. "Then what kind of master am I? Take it!"
Xu Xi had no choice but to accept it.
Seeing her awkwardness, Gu An smiled. "If you're embarrassed, why not help me with something? Are you busy these days?"
Xu Xi shook her head hurriedly. "No, not busy at all."
"Go to Dao Discussion Peak and find someone named Lu Lingjun from Sorrow Sea Buddhism Sect. These days, wherever she wants to go, accompany her. If she asks, tell her it's arranged by the master, but don't reveal my name. If she has any requests, help her as much as you can. I won't let you suffer any losses afterward." Gu An instructed, and then lifted his hand, transmitting Lu Lingjun's image into Xu Xi's mind.
Xu Xi was stunned for a moment and agreed to the task.
Gu An waved his hand, and she immediately bid farewell and left.
Watching Xu Xi's departing figure, Gu An smiled.
He arranged this task for two reasons: to broaden Lu Lingjun's horizons and to give Xu Xi some training. This was his impromptu idea.
Gu An continued downhill, enjoying the scenery along the way.
...
In the courtyard.
Lu Lingjun sat at a stone table, flipping through a book out of boredom, while White Spirit Demon Emperor lay on the table.
A figure descended from the sky, and Lu Lingjun looked up instinctively, then stood up.
"Lu Lingjun?" Xu Xi asked.
Lu Lingjun nodded, feeling a bit nervous.
Xu Xi wore the Human World Peak's Daoist robe, her face was beautiful, and her posture was dignified. She exuded a sense of immortality, and Lu Lingjun instinctively felt a sense of pressure.
Xu Xi would blush when facing Gu An, but she was composed when facing Lu Lingjun, precisely because of this composure that the aura of the Nirvana Realm was revealed, putting pressure on Lu Lingjun in the Profound Realm.
Lu Lingjun's thoughts were as quick as lightning, wondering if she had offended someone.
"My master sent me here. Is there somewhere you want to go? I can accompany you. You can ask me for anything, until the Ten Thousand Year Summit ends," Xu Xi replied.
She found it strange. Why would her master care about a junior cultivator like this?
She quickly reconsidered. What's the difference between her and her brother in the eyes of their master compared to this girl?
Perhaps this girl had met her master on the road and got along well with him.
"May I ask who your master is...?" Lu Lingjun asked cautiously.
"My master is the Peak Lord of Firm Sky Peak," Xu Xi answered.
The Peak Lord of Firm Sky Peak!
As a transcended cultivator, Lu Lingjun couldn't remain calm, and White Spirit Demon Emperor widened her snake-like eyes in shock.
They had heard from Xi Ling Holy Mother that the Peak Lord of Human World Peak was a transcendent existence, especially the master of Divine Peaks, and Firm Sky Peak was one of them.
How could such a transcendent existence know about her? For a moment, Lu Lingjun felt uneasy.
...
At dusk, Gu An returned to the Third Medicine Valley.
Ji Xiaoyu approached and curiously asked, "Where have you been these past two days?"
Gu An replied, "I have a Daoist friend who's hosting a banquet, so I went to visit."
Ji Xiaoyu nodded and said, "I had a dream while cultivating today. Let's chat about it?"
'Chat about what? I don't want to be entangled in your grand karma!' Gu An felt helpless, but he immediately responded, "No problem."
The two of them went upstairs to the pavilion.
After Ji Xiaoyu set up restrictions, she sat down at the desk, frowning. "I dreamed I was in a dim space, surrounded by stars in all directions, some of which were enormous. I was surrounded by evil demons, and I was fighting..."
Beyond the heavens?
No mortal in this world had ever ventured beyond the heavens, so Ji Xiaoyu could only describe it as a dim space.
Gu An listened intently, and he quickly realized that Ji Xiaoyu's dream was about the Heavenly Demon.
Could it be that in one of her past lives, she had been to the Annihilation Domain? He wasn't surprised by this, as he had always known that Ji Xiaoyu's identity was not ordinary. What puzzled him was that in Ji Xiaoyu's previous life, she not only fought fiercely against the Heavenly Demon's army but also mentioned a terrifying existence.
That terrifying existence led the Heavenly Demon.
"He said that no matter how many times I reincarnate, he will wait for me to challenge him..." Ji Xiaoyu took a deep breath, and as she thought of the fierce battle in her dream, she couldn't help but clench her fists.
Gu An thought for a moment and consoled her, "Don't worry. It will probably take many years, maybe even this lifetime, before you can challenge him. I can't even imagine how to slay such a vast starry sky with a single sword."
Although his words weren't pleasant, they did comfort Ji Xiaoyu.
Just then, a voice echoed: "That's the Heavenly Demon Emperor, who once suppressed the Heavenly Spirit Great World."
It was the voice of Steal Five Elements!
As his voice trailed off, he appeared in the room.
Ji Xiaoyu furrowed her brows but remained silent.
Gu An didn't stop him, as he was the Cycle Daoist Emperor, introduced by Steal Five Elements.
"Suppress the Heavenly Spirit Great World? How powerful is that?" Gu An asked cautiously.
Steal Five Elements' expression turned solemn. "Extremely powerful, beyond imagination. The Cycle Daoist Emperor also told me that her fate is to challenge the Heavenly Demon Emperor. But she reincarnated quickly, and her fate was passed on in the cycle of reincarnation."
Gu An asked further, "Do you mean the Heavenly Demon Emperor won't actively attack our world?"
"That's right. The establishment of the Holy Court has blocked the Heavenly Demon's rampage. As long as the Holy Heavenly Dao Path remains intact, the Heavenly Demon Emperor won't come. The existence behind me has also been to the Land of Heavenly Demon and was cursed. It's a terrifying place beyond imagination. But judging from her current growth rate, it's unlikely she'll encounter the Heavenly Demon before thirty thousand years."
As he spoke, Steal Five Elements' gaze shifted to Ji Xiaoyu.
Gu An remained silent, feigning a shocked expression.
It was normal for a mortal to be shocked upon hearing about the existence of the Heavenly Demon. At least, Steal Five Elements expected Gu An to show such a reaction.
After listening, Ji Xiaoyu regained her calm.
Steal Five Elements continued to describe the power of the Heavenly Demon.
After a while, he finally left.
The room fell silent.
Gu An sighed and said, "He said that even the Dao Support Sword couldn't defeat the Heavenly Demon Emperor. That's good news. You don't have to worry now."
Ji Xiaoyu looked at him, her eyes calm. "I originally wanted to live out this life peacefully, but after hearing his words, I suddenly don't want to die. I want to cultivate to the level where I can meet the Heavenly Demon Emperor."
Gu An was taken aback. "Having a greater goal is a good thing."
Ji Xiaoyu stood up and turned to leave.
As she reached the door, she suddenly turned back and said, "Why don't you give up either? I've dreamed of many people. Some started from humble beginnings but ended up shining brightly. How wonderful it would be if you could accompany me in challenging the Heavenly Demon Emperor?"
With that, she turned and pushed the door open, walking out.
