Chapter 325: Heavenly Sovereign, Legend of the Divine King
After Lv Baitian left, Gu An followed downstairs to continue enjoying the spectacle.
Currently, the Profound Realm Battle was underway, and the battle scene was projected onto the sky, causing the valley's disciples to discuss it animatedly.
"So powerful, is this the Profound Realm?"
"This is nothing. Wait until you see the Great Enlightenment Realm battle; that's thrilling. Even when the Immortals battle, you can feel the pressure in the valley."
"It's an eye-opener. I wonder if we'll ever have such a day."
"How could we not? Work hard in your cultivation, and when you enter the Third Medicine Valley, you'll already be ahead of ninety percent of the disciples."
"That's right. Even if you're from a noble family, if your talent isn't up to par, you'll have to start as a menial disciple. Do you know Li Ya from Divine Anomaly City? He's my master's junior, and they entered the Medicine Valley on the same day."
"I know. My master told me that Li Ya used to cry a lot, feeling hopeless about his future. It was my master who encouraged him."
As the disciples chatted, their conversation drifted off-topic. Nowadays, the turnover of new and old disciples in the Third Medicine Valley was rapid, with many new disciples joining every year.
The number of registered disciples in the valley had already exceeded eighteen hundred.
Gu An naturally joined the group of disciples without causing a disturbance. The disciples didn't need to stand up to greet him, nor did they suspect each other, thanks to Gu An's easygoing attitude, which also influenced the disciples' outlook on life and interpersonal relationships.
Gu An sat next to Anxin and asked about the previous battle.
Before Anxin could speak, You Yingying sat down on the other side of Gu An and took the initiative to continue the conversation, introducing the situation.
The reason for her excitement was that a senior master from the Star Sea Congregation had also come to participate, and among them was a senior she admired.
She believed that this senior could win the first place on the Heavenly Rank Tournament.
Gu An merely smiled at this.
This session of the Heavenly Rank Tournament was filled with hidden cultivators and people concealing their true identities, making it extremely difficult to secure the top spot.
A Marvelous Technique Spirit Immortal had also come to participate, and Gu An couldn't understand what they were thinking.
"No matter how you looked at it, the Marvelous Technique Spirit Immortal's participation in the Heavenly Rank Tournament seemed demeaning, and they might even provoke the Exalted Sword, bringing trouble upon themselves."
Gu An couldn't comprehend it.
The Celestial Spirit Dynasty had sent people, and the Holy Court had also dispatched representatives. Now, a mysterious Marvelous Technique Spirit Immortal had appeared.
However, since they had come, he would make the best of the situation.
Currently, the Marvelous Technique Spirit Immortal remained a mysterious existence, like a dragon that appeared and disappeared without a trace. The Freedom Primordial Immortal was the highest entity that the cultivation sects could interact with, and as for the Dao Void Profound Immortal, who was one level higher than the Marvelous Technique Spirit Immortal, he hadn't encountered one yet.
Anxin believed that the Nine-Finger Divine Lord could win the first place, and the two women started bickering. With Anxin's personality, she naturally couldn't outdo You Yingying.
How could Gu An sit idly by and let his precious disciple be bullied? So, he joined the argument, causing You Yingying's face to quickly turn red.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, at dawn.
Even though it was still early in the morning, there were already many figures moving about in the city.
In an alley, Zhang Xianwang from the Celestial Spirit Dynasty stopped in his tracks. He slightly turned his head, using his peripheral vision to look at the person behind him.
"Why are you following me, fellow cultivator?" Zhang Xianwang asked calmly.
Standing behind him was an elder with white hair and a white robe, exuding an air of immortality. Even the passing cultivators couldn't help but steal a few glances at him.
The white-haired elder stared at Zhang Xianwang and asked, "Why has a Divine Dynasty person come to this place?"
Zhang Xianwang turned around to face the white-haired elder, his expression indifferent, and asked, "How can I answer if you don't?"
The white-haired elder replied, "You can call me the Heavenly Sovereign."
Heavenly Sovereign!
Zhang Xianwang's face changed dramatically, showing disbelief. He asked in astonishment, "Heavenly Sovereign? How is that possible? Fifty million years ago, you..."
The Heavenly Sovereign interrupted, "It's your turn to answer now."
Zhang Xianwang's eyes flickered, and he didn't respond immediately.
"You probably don't want a conflict to break out here. There are definitely Holy Court cultivators within the Taixuan Sect," the Heavenly Sovereign said in a tone devoid of emotion, sending a chill down one's spine.
Zhang Xianwang took a deep breath and said, "I came to recruit the Dao Support Sword Lord. What about you?"
The Heavenly Sovereign replied, "I came for an old friend."
"An old friend? Who?"
"Since our purposes don't conflict, let's not disturb each other."
After saying this, the Heavenly Sovereign turned to leave.
Just then, a voice called out, "Fellow cultivator Zhang, what are you doing here?"
The speaker was Gu An, who was walking towards the Heavenly Sovereign. The two passed by each other.
[Heavenly Sovereign (Marvelous Technique Spirit Immortal, 7th Layer): 789023/1700000/1750000]
A seventy-eight-million-year-old monster!
The 7th layer of the Marvelous Technique Spirit Immortal was truly terrifying, almost catching up to me.
Gu An thought silently, looking at Zhang Xianwang with a delighted smile.
Zhang Xianwang couldn't help but smile when he saw Gu An.
After the Heavenly Sovereign left the alley, Gu An finally asked, "Who was that person just now? Were they causing trouble for you? Should I contact the Hall of Affairs?"
Hearing this, Zhang Xianwang's smile widened. He smiled helplessly and said, "No trouble. Do you know his cultivation level?"
"What cultivation level? Incarnation Realm? Void-Traversing Realm? Or Soul Merging Realm?"
By the end, Gu An's face showed surprise, and his voice rose several octaves.
Zhang Xianwang couldn't help but laugh, so he changed the subject and asked, "How did you end up here?"
Gu An replied, "I came to purchase medicinal herb seeds. What about you?"
The two began chatting, and Zhang Xianwang took a liking to Gu An, so he didn't mind the other's cultivation level and conversed on equal terms.
After chatting for a while, Gu An asked, "You seem pretty capable. Have you signed up for the Heavenly Ranking Tournament?"
"No, I came here for another matter."
"What is it? Can I help?"
"That won't be necessary."
"Alright, then I won't disturb you further."
Gu An cupped his fists in a polite gesture and then left.
Zhang Xianwang watched him leave, a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
Gu An also pondered why Zhang Xianwang wanted to recruit him. He had previously thought that the Celestial Spirit Dynasty was very exclusive and that Zhang Xianwang was not trying to recruit him but plotting something else.
After leaving the alley, Gu An continued wandering through the city. He planned to buy some interesting items for Tian Ya'er to cheer her up.
Managing the Tranquil Paradise was also tiring, so Gu An had to treat her differently to prevent her from feeling too dejected.
After walking down two streets, Gu An saw the Celestial Sovereign.
Just as they were about to pass by each other, the Celestial Sovereign suddenly raised his hand and pressed down on Gu An's shoulder.
Gu An couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Being held by the shoulder made him feel strangely uncomfortable.
He turned to look at the Celestial Sovereign, asking in surprise, "You... Huh? Are you the person from earlier?"
The Celestial Sovereign stared at the Immortal King Crown on Gu An's forehead, his eyes cold and sharp.
Gu An's heart skipped a beat. Could the other party have seen through the disguise of the Immortal King Crown?
"Tonight, after leaving Taixuan Sect, I will find you and give you a chance to be reborn." The Celestial Sovereign left with these words.
Gu An was left baffled.
What could be the reason?
After seeing the Celestial Sovereign off, Gu An continued on his way, deep in thought about this matter.
A hundred paces away, amidst the crowd, Zhang Xianwang frowned. Eventually, he sighed and left in the opposite direction of the Celestial Sovereign.
The Heavenly Ranking Tournament's battle reached its peak in the afternoon, featuring two Nirvana Realm Great Cultivators, one of whom was a Taixuan Sect cultivator, and both were from the Ocean Realm.
The two Nirvana Realm Great Cultivators displayed their techniques, divine abilities, demon pets, formations, and various esoteric skills, showcasing the essence of cultivation to the spectators.
Within the same realm, the higher the cultivation level, the more difficult it was to kill the opponent, often resulting in intense battles.
Gu An watched with great interest. These cultivators' abilities were not exceptional, but their combat styles were quite diverse.
Gu An, who could only instantly kill his opponents, couldn't experience such enjoyment and could only feel envious.
This continued until nightfall.
Gu An left the Mystic Valley alone and flew towards the distance.
Along the way, he pretended to be tense, furrowing his brows.
To demonstrate his determination, he flew faster and faster.
Half an hour later.
Gu An felt a surge of spiritual power approaching and immediately prepared himself, submitting to it.
At first glance, he seemed to be falling, plummeting into a forest.
After landing, he quickly stood up, feigning a panicked expression. When he saw the Celestial Sovereign's figure, he finally calmed down.
The Celestial Sovereign emerged from the darkness, praising, "You have great courage. No wonder you dared to accept the Immortal King Crown. Although I don't know why the Immortal King Crown hasn't devoured you, regardless, you have gained the recognition of the Daoist Immortal Treasure. Do you have a master?"
Gu An shook his head. "No, is the Immortal King Crown the crown on my head? I happened to find it while shopping."
He had already altered his cause and effect, so even the Celestial Sovereign would be deceived.
The Celestial Sovereign indeed saw through the cause and effect that Gu An had purchased the Immortal King Crown from the Odd Treasure Pavilion at a low price. At that time, the Immortal King Crown seemed newly unearthed, with an old and worn surface.
How could the Marvelous Technique Spirit Immortal see through the methods of the Divine Mind True Immortal?
"Do you want to know the origin of the Immortal King Crown? Once you do, you will no longer be able to lead a peaceful life." The Celestial Sovereign stared at Gu An and spoke softly.
Gu An smiled bitterly. "Then can I go back now?"
"No, there's no turning back once you're here."
"Then why did you ask?"
"The Celestial Sovereign's Dao is the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao must conform to the will of the people."
"Does this count?"
"It does since you came."
Gu An felt that the other party was being unreasonable, but as he didn't sense any hostility from the Celestial Sovereign, he decided to hear him out.
It was nice to have some excitement occasionally, especially when planting flowers and tending to the grass.
He dared to face excitement because the Celestial Sovereign couldn't threaten him.
"The Immortal King Crown was crafted by the first Immortal King of the Heavenly Spirit Great World. He existed in the distant era of the initial opening of the universe, when there was no Holy Court, and the rules of the Heavenly Dao had not yet reached beyond the heavens..."
The Celestial Sovereign's voice was filled with a mysterious sense of creation, allowing Gu An to glimpse some scenes from ancient times.
The vast land was filled with giant beasts, devoid of systems, sects, or dynasties.
He saw the silhouette of the Immortal King, blurry but exuding a formidable aura that reminded him of the Dragon War.
This indicated that the Immortal King and the Dragon War stood on the same level.
The Ninth Heaven of Daoism!
When the Immortal King proclaimed himself as the Immortal King, thunders roared, and the land was ravaged by various calamities.
"The Immortal King considered himself extraordinary and wanted to challenge the Heavenly Dao, unify the entire universe, venture beyond the heavens, and offend the Will of the People. In the end, he encountered the Heavenly Dao's curse. Before his death, he sealed his Dao within the Immortal King Crown, making the Immortal King Crown the first Daoist Immortal Treasure in history, at least the first in the Heavenly Spirit Great World." The Celestial Sovereign's tone remained indifferent.
