Chapter 312: A Million Years is Far From Enough
After being slapped by Gu An, Magic Scar Elder's face turned incredulous, never expecting Gu An to be so audacious.
Despite the disparity in their cultivation levels, they were both Freedom Primordial Immortals! Magic Scar Elder gritted his teeth and asked, "Who exactly are you, and which sect are you from?"
Everyone fixed their gaze on Gu An, awaiting his answer.
Was the Sky Earth Flying Immortal, who had just joined Human World Peak, a Freedom Primordial Immortal?
Everyone felt it was absurd, even suspecting that Gu An had ulterior motives.
Bai Zixian couldn't help but ponder for a moment, but then he recalled that it didn't seem like a setup when he was persuaded to join Human World Peak.
Gu An stared at Magic Scar Elder and said, "Does it matter? If I were just an ordinary peak master of Human World Peak, how would you take revenge on me?"
When Magic Scar Elder harbored hostility towards Gu An, in his mind, Magic Scar Elder was already a dead man.
Gu An's words made Eternal Year Daoist squint his eyes.
After hearing this, Magic Scar Elder's face turned even gloomier, and for a moment, he didn't know how to respond.
"Could it be that he also came for Firm Sky Peak?"
Magic Scar Elder thought angrily, refusing to believe it was a coincidence.
How could it be that they randomly picked someone, only to find out it was a powerful cultivator hiding his cultivation?
Now, he was in a difficult situation, and even if he didn't admit defeat, the cause and effect wouldn't dissipate. But if he did admit defeat, it would only make things worse.
Suddenly, Magic Scar Elder broke into a smile and bowed, saying, "If that's the case, then I'll definitely join Human World Peak. As for Firm Sky Peak, I don't want it anymore. Heaven Bearing Peak is fine too."
Upon hearing this, most of the people present heaved a sigh of relief.
Eternal Year Daoist spoke up, "Forget it, fellow Daoist. Please go to another sect."
Everyone looked at him in astonishment, surprised by how quickly his attitude had changed, while Magic Scar Elder's face turned even gloomier.
Gu An turned to look at Eternal Year Daoist, who subtly nodded, causing a smile to appear on Gu An's face as well.
How understanding!
"Hmph!"
Magic Scar Elder coldly snorted and left with a flick of his sleeves.
No one dared to stop him, fearing that his presence would escalate the conflict.
Gu An raised his right hand, drawing everyone's attention, wondering what he was up to.
Three breaths later, Gu An suddenly clenched his hand and then put something into his sleeve, the action so fast that no one could see what he had grabbed.
[You have successfully taken Magic Scar Elder's (Freedom Primordial Immortal Realm, Layer Four) 8709 years of lifespan]
Looking at the prompt before him, Gu An remained unmoved, feeling no sense of accomplishment.
The Freedom Primordial Immortals' faces changed instantly, their gazes towards Gu An filled with fear, as they realized that Magic Scar Elder's aura had suddenly disappeared.
The Sky Earth Flying Immortals were curious about what Gu An had just grabbed.
Gu An approached Bai Zixian, and Eternal Year Daoist looked at him deeply before signaling for the banquet to continue.
Bai Zixian looked at Gu An, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Gu An smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Bai, will it be the same as before?"
Bai Zixian nodded subconsciously, his entire demeanor becoming more restrained.
How could it be the same?
Damn, that was terrifying!
Bai Zixian felt a sense of lingering fear. If he had acted arrogantly earlier, would he have been squashed by Gu An?
He couldn't bring himself to ask this question, but the answer was already obvious.
During the rest of the banquet, Gu An became the center of attention, everyone enthusiastically interacting with him, a stark contrast to the previous scene, even the Freedom Primordial Immortals addressing him as 'Senior'.
...
At a courtyard on Dao Discussion Peak, tables were set up for a banquet. Lu Lingjun, Xi Ling Holy Mother, and Xu Xi sat at one table, while Divine Heart Son was at another, discussing Buddhist teachings with others.
Xi Ling Holy Mother turned to Xu Xi and asked curiously, "Xu Xi, may we visit your master? I'd like to thank him in person for his care towards Lingjun."
Lu Lingjun also looked at Xu Xi. During these days, Xu Xi had taken her around, broadening her horizons and even introducing her to various cultivation philosophies.
Whenever Lu Lingjun wanted something, Xu Xi would buy it for her without waiting for her to ask, though she was somewhat apprehensive about the intentions of the Firm Sky Peak Master. Still, she had developed a favorable impression of Xu Xi.
Xu Xi shook her head and said, "My master hasn't mentioned meeting you, nor has he said he wants to keep Lingjun here. After the summit, you can return directly without any pressure."
These words made Xi Ling Holy Mother and Lu Lingjun exchange a glance, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.
Just then, a cultivator entered the courtyard.
"Magic Scar Elder has offended the Firm Sky Peak Master. He just left Human World Peak and met his demise!"
The cultivator spoke excitedly, drawing everyone's attention.
Hearing that it involved the Firm Sky Peak Master, Xu Xi, Lu Lingjun, and Xi Ling Holy Mother all showed curiosity.
The cultivator began narrating what had happened at the banquet, and the news spread quickly among the various peaks of Human World Peak.
Magic Scar Elder used to be an elder of the Great Cold Demon Sect, which is now almost disbanded, so Human World Peak didn't hold back, using his death to showcase their strength.
Magic Scar Elder had tried to suppress the Firm Sky Peak Master, forcing him to yield his position, but the Firm Sky Peak Master displayed even greater cultivation, publicly slapping Magic Scar Elder and driving him away in embarrassment. The entire process was thrilling to hear.
Magic Scar Elder had just flown out of Human World Peak when he met his end, making the Firm Sky Peak Master seem even more formidable to those who heard the news.
When the news reached Firm Sky Peak, all the disciples were elated, dispelling the gloom of their low ranking.
After learning about this, Lu Lingjun felt even more anxious.
This Firm Sky Peak Master was so dominant!
With such a person's assistance, it was hard to predict the outcome.
Due to the conflict between the Firmament Peak Summit Lord and the Magic Scar Elder, this Ten Thousand Year Summit became more of a discussion platform. As the identity and deeds of the Magic Scar Elder were gradually uncovered, all the guests felt the might of the Human World Peak.
After the banquet, Gu An returned to the Taixuan Sect.
He had heard about the commotion at the Human World Peak, and the news spread so quickly. In reality, the Human World Peak was intentionally spreading the news, but thankfully, they didn't mention Meng Lang, which could be considered a form of respect.
When Gu An returned to the Third Medicine Valley, he happened to meet Anxin, and they chatted for a while.
The master and disciple discussed trivial matters in the Medicine Valley, and Gu An found these small talks more interesting than discussing the grand affairs of the world.
Those Freedom Primordial Immortals would talk about the Dao and the welfare of the world, making them seem lofty.
...
In the Divine Odd Realm, under the blood-red sky, Zhang Bukou was cultivating his divine abilities by the sea.
Behind him, the Divine Odd Realm Lord sat before the Divine Odd Stela, gazing up at the sky, his thoughts unknown, and his eyes shifting.
Zhang Bukou finished his cultivation and turned to look at the Divine Odd Realm Lord, asking, "Master, the great tribulation has ended, and you've made agreements with the various sects. Why do you still look so worried?"
Whenever he thought about the feats of the Exalted Sword of Dao, his blood would boil.
The Divine Odd Realm Lord slowly retracted his gaze and said, "The Great Cold Demon Sect is just a pawn, like me. How could this matter end so quickly? But the commotion is too big; the Holy Court will definitely investigate. Once the storm subsides, more trouble will come."
"Zhang Bukou was unconcerned, 'If the force behind the Great Cold Demon Sect could rival the Support Sword of Respect, they would have made their move long ago.'"
"Perhaps they are investigating the identity and cultivation of the Spiritual Path Assistance Sword."
"Master, don't worry. You should focus on cultivation and strive to break free from fate on your own."
Zhang Bukou advised. Since his father's passing, he had faced countless hardships and had long cultivated a determined heart. He knew that worrying about the future was futile; grasping the present and diligently cultivating was the key.
The Divine Odd Realm Lord shook his head and smiled, "I'm not like you. I can't cultivate to become stronger. The more Divine Odd Ghosts there are, the stronger I become."
Hearing this, Zhang Bukou frowned and asked, "With the world at peace, how can you increase the number of Divine Odd Ghosts?"
The Divine Odd Realm Lord nodded and looked up again, saying, "I can't become stronger in this realm. Disciple, do you want to venture into other Great Universes?"
"Where?"
"A very dark universe."
Zhang Bukou was confused by the Divine Odd Realm Lord's words. What did 'very dark' mean? Was there a place darker than the Divine Odd Realm?
...
Time flew by, and seven years passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Lu Lingjun returned.
She saw Gu An playing chess with someone and couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle. Was this game of chess so captivating?
Her gaze fell upon Divine Heart Son. Why was this prominent figure of the Sorrow Sea Buddhism Sect staying here? She couldn't understand what charm the Third Medicine Valley held to attract such a powerful cultivator.
She sent a sound transmission to Gu An, who immediately asked Yang Jian, standing nearby, to take over the chess game.
When Yang Jian started playing, Lu Xianyi, who had been trying to curry favor with Yang Jian for years, approached. Gu An had a hunch about something, but he didn't voice it, choosing to keep it to himself and pretend he didn't know.
Gu An squeezed out of the crowd and greeted Lu Lingjun.
"Let's talk in your room," Lu Lingjun said, nodding.
Gu An naturally had no objections, and the two chatted as they walked towards the pavilion.
Upon entering the room, Lu Lingjun sat down and scanned the surroundings. When her eyes fell upon certain books on the bookshelf, she couldn't help but sneer.
Indeed, one's nature is hard to change.
Gu An brewed tea for her, and she began to share her experiences over the years.
"I attended the Ten Thousand Year Summit at the Human World Peak and was amazed. Do you know about the Human World Peak?" Lu Lingjun asked.
Gu An nodded, "I've heard of it, and Divine Heart Son was there too, but I don't know much. Those powerful cultivators said I wasn't qualified to know."
Lu Lingjun laughed and said, "Indeed, you're not qualified, but I was lucky to go. I can tell you about it. Do you want to hear?"
Gu An brought over a cup of hot tea and placed it in front of her, saying, "Of course I want to hear. Tell me."
Let's see if you can impress me!
Lu Lingjun started from when she first heard about the Ten Thousand Year Summit and continued as Gu An sat down and listened attentively.
She didn't hide the care she received from the Firmament Peak Summit Lord, and her words even seemed to guide Gu An, as if she wanted to see his reaction.
Gu An maintained a normal expression but couldn't help but complain inwardly.
Are all women like this?
Initially, Jiang Qiong also used the Dao Support Sword Respect Sword to provoke him.
After a long while,
Lu Lingjun sighed, "The strength of the Firmament Peak Summit Lord is beyond imagination. The elder of the Great Cold Demon Sect can kill at will. I wonder when I'll be able to reach such a realm."
Gu An smiled, "Cultivate for eight hundred thousand years, perhaps."
Lu Lingjun glared at him and said, "You make it sound so easy. Eight hundred thousand years is far from enough. You have no idea how vast the Immortal Realm is!"
