Chapter 348: You're Stronger Than a Body Merging Realm Cultivator?
Chapter 348: You're Stronger Than a Body Merging Realm Cultivator?
On a cliff, two figures stood, one of them was the white-robed man who had previously conversed with the Dark War Emperor, and the other had disheveled hair, tattered red clothes, and his hands bound by iron chains. On his back were numerous talismans, and the sea breeze blew, ruffling his messy hair.
"Sage King of Conduct, what do you think of my situation?" The man in chains asked, his expression indifferent, his eyes as deep as a dark well.
The white-robed man, known as the Sage King of Conduct, showed no emotion and said, "I feel even more fortunate. Dao Void Mystic Realm is very powerful, and the Sage King stands tall, but the higher you stand, the more cautious you must be, because your enemies are even stronger."
Upon hearing his words, the Great Void Sacred King closed his eyes and smiled.
The Great Void Sacred King lifted his hand, and the chains rattled, making a crisp sound.
"How do you know that your cautious choice is correct? Just wait and see, the Holy Minister must be hiding an even greater conspiracy." The Great Void Sacred King smiled freely, having already accepted life and death.
The Sage King of Conduct sensed something and subconsciously turned his head, his expression becoming unnatural.
A figure enveloped in dark purple Demon Qi appeared behind them.
Dao Support Sword Sage!
The Sage King of Conduct felt an immense pressure rushing towards him, giving him the same feeling as facing the Holy Minister and the Holy God.
At this moment, he understood why the Holy Minister treated the Dao Support Sword Sage so well.
He immediately cupped his fists and bowed, saying, "I have seen the Holy Sword!"
Upon hearing his words, the Great Void Sacred King's body trembled slightly. He seemed calm, but how could he not be nervous when facing life and death?
[Sage King of Conduct (Dao Void Mystic Realm, 4th Layer): 1,740,982/6,000,000/7,500,000]
[Great Void Sacred King (Dao Void Mystic Realm, 2nd Layer): 1,580,442/4,000,000/5,000,000]
Gu An looked at the lifespans of the two and was secretly satisfied.
The lifespan of a Dao Void Mystic Realm cultivator could reach several million years. Judging from the lifespan difference between the 4th and 2nd layers, the lifespan of a Divine Mind True Immortal cultivator was very likely to surpass ten million years.
Gu An nodded slightly at the Sage King of Conduct, and his gaze fixed on the Great Void Sacred King. He could sense the latter's tension.
Boom!
A golden light suddenly burst from Gu An's forehead, instantly engulfing the Great Void Sacred King. The golden light soared towards the sea surface and dissipated less than a thousand feet away.
As the golden light faded, the Great Void Sacred King was nowhere to be seen.
Gu An didn't bother to communicate with the Great Void Sacred King or listen to his explanations.
Even if there was a misunderstanding between the two, it was the Great Void Sacred King's problem, and with so many people pointing fingers at him, it was hard to be false.
The Sage King of Conduct watched in shock.
This was a Dao Void Mystic Realm cultivator, and even if he was weaker, it was still surprising to be annihilated so easily.
Just how powerful was the cultivation of the Dao Support Sword Sage?
[You have successfully taken 370,963 years of lifespan from the Great Void Sacred King (Dao Void Mystic Realm, 2nd Layer)]
Seeing the prompt in front of him, Gu An felt slightly pleased. Of course, what reassured him the most was removing one of the obstacles.
Gu An disappeared from his original spot, leaving the Sage King of Conduct behind.
The Sage King of Conduct stood on the cliff for a long time before finally leaving.
The death of the Sage King, who was above all living beings, left a deep psychological shadow on the Sage King of Conduct, who was also a Sacred King.
The Heavenly Spirit Great Universe became even more complex and dangerous in the eyes of the Sage King of Conduct.
...
At the Human World Peak, Firm Sky Peak.
In the Peak Master's courtyard, Gu An was sipping tea, while Anxin stood behind him, and in front of him was a row of Wanderer Immortals, all disciples of Firm Sky Peak, including Zhuxinglan.
They were discussing the Holy Court's bestowal of the title 'Holy Sword' upon the Dao Support Sword Sage.
"The Holy Sword, the number one sword in the universe, it seems the Holy Court highly values the Dao Support Sword Sage."
"The aura of the Heavenspan Demon was so terrifying, yet it was no match for the Dao Support Sword Sage. Such a powerful being, how could the Holy Court not try to recruit him?"
"I heard that the reason the Heavenspan Demon targeted the Dao Support Sword Sage was because a Sacred King plotted against him, sending a large number of Heavendemon Reincarnations into the Taicang Continent. How sinister."
"I heard it was the Great Void Sacred King. He underestimated the strength of the Dao Support Sword Sage."
"To be honest, who could have guessed that? Such a terrifying Great Cultivator existed in that small place."
The Wanderer Immortal disciples of Firm Sky Peak were excited, and this was only because of Gu An's presence. In front of their own disciples, they all maintained a dignified and lofty demeanor, behaving like enlightened cultivators with noble bearing.
Zhuxinglan looked at Gu An, having heard that his master had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He wondered if his master knew the Dao Support Sword Sage.
As for the possibility that his master was the Dao Support Sword Sage, he didn't consider it.
There were countless ascetic cultivators in the world, and the Dao Support Sword Sage had only hidden his identity. Perhaps his true identity had once shaken the world, but who could say for sure?
Anxin listened to their discussion and secretly laughed to herself.
The person they admired was right in front of them, and she wondered how they would react if they knew the truth.
She didn't know the exact cultivation realm of the Dark War Emperor, so she couldn't understand the excitement of the Wanderer Immortals.
In her eyes, there was no difference between Wanderer Immortals and Sky Earth Flying Immortals; they were all terrifyingly powerful.
After they finished speaking, Gu An said, "Then you all must cultivate diligently. I feel that the world is becoming less and less peaceful."
His Divine Mind was observing Yang Jian.
The Heavenly Sovereign had learned of the Great Void Sacred King's demise and was preparing to bring Yang Jian out of seclusion.
After many years, Yang Jian had become stronger, while the Heavenly Sovereign had grown older, and although his cultivation realm hadn't declined, his aura was not as powerful as before.
The lifespan of the Heavenly Sovereign Sect, which had lost its destiny, was rapidly diminishing, and it was estimated that it wouldn't last many years.
Upon hearing Gu An's words, the disciples all agreed, each sensing the tension in the grand trend of the world, a feeling they hadn't experienced in many years.
After a long while, the disciples took their leave.
Anxin sat down and couldn't help but stretch lazily. She didn't remove her mask but instead looked at Gu An and asked, "Master, what exactly is the Holy Court?"
She knew that Dao Support Sword Zun was Gu An, but being in the Human World Peak, she had to be careful with her words.
Gu An replied, "The ruling power of the human world, the strongest of this era. As for good or bad, it depends on the situation."
In this world, there are no absolute good people or forces. Even the current Taixuan Sect has its share of dark secrets.
Even if he joined the Holy Court, Gu An still didn't have a favorable impression of it.
Once he surpasses the Ninth Heaven of Immortal Dao, he won't have to fear the Holy Court.
Right now, he was more curious about the Annihilation Realm.
The Annihilation Divine Emperor could easily wipe out a Dragon War who had surpassed the Ninth Heaven of Immortal Dao, but now it seemed that even the Holy Heaven could withstand the Annihilation Realm.
Could it be that it wasn't the same Annihilation Realm? Or perhaps, the Annihilation Divine Emperor had already left?
Anxin was very curious about the strength of the Holy Court, but unfortunately, Gu An wasn't clear either, only giving vague answers.
Today's conversation with the Firm Sky Peak disciples had proven the methods of the Holy Minister. Although Gu An hadn't merged with the destiny of the Holy Court, within a few short years, all the powers in the world knew that he had joined the Holy Court.
No matter what he thought in his heart, from now on, he was openly affiliated with the Holy Court.
The enemies of the Holy Court might also target him! Does the Holy Court have enemies? Of course, there is the Immortal Dynasty coveting their power, and beyond the heavens, countless Heavenly Demons are watching.
He only hoped that they wouldn't disturb his peaceful life.
After chatting for a while, Gu An stood up and said, "It's time to test your cultivation results. Don't let Lo Qing surpass you in the future."
Upon hearing this, Anxin quickly got up.
Lo Qing, who was four years younger, had been raised by her. But later, that kid kept pestering Youyijing, making her feel quite uncomfortable.
She couldn't let that kid surpass her!
Today, Anxin had heard about many great events in the world, and her fighting spirit was ignited. With such a master, why couldn't she forge her own path?
She didn't realize that her mindset was beginning to change towards An Hao.
...
Seasons changed, and eight years passed.
Thirteen-year-old Lo Qing was running in the Medicine Valley, his figure swift as a leopard, chasing after a plump, pig-like white-furred rat.
His eyes were sharp, and his face was handsome. His long hair was tied like a girl's, which made the disciples along the way laugh and tease him.
After running for a long time, in a secluded area, Lo Qing stopped. He supported his knees with both hands and panted heavily.
"Stinky rat, how are you so fast? Did you not push it to its limit before?" Lo Qing muttered, his face filled with dissatisfaction.
Just then, footsteps approached from the side. Lo Qing turned his head and quickly stood up.
He clasped his hands together and bowed to the approaching person.
Seeing his action, Shen Xinzi couldn't help but chuckle.
"Do you want to catch up with it? Should you take me as your master?" Shen Xinzi walked up to him and asked with a smile.
Lo Qing scratched his head and said, "Senior, I already have a master."
Shen Xinzi smiled and said, "I know you have a master. Who says you can only have one master? Have you read Journey to the West?"
Lo Qing nodded, but he didn't like reading; he preferred listening to others.
"You're like Sun Wukong, and I'm Bodhimanda Master. Should I secretly teach you cultivation?" Shen Xinzi asked with a mischievous smile.
Like Youyijing, he had an inexplicable fondness for Lo Qing, but after observing him, he knew that Lo Qing wasn't a reincarnated Heavenly Demon.
The fact that he, an Immortal Dao existence, felt a sense of closeness towards Lo Qing at least indicated that Lo Qing's innate destiny was extraordinary, and his fate was beyond that of ordinary people.
"Can you be Bodhimanda Master?" Lo Qing asked with a skeptical expression.
Shen Xinzi laughed and said, "You know your master is at the Core Formation Realm, but do you know my cultivation level?"
"Body Merging Realm?"
"Haha, you even know about the Body Merging Realm. Do you know what's above that?"
"What? Your cultivation is even higher than the Body Merging Realm?"
Lo Qing was shocked. He had grown up in the Third Medicine Valley and was well-versed in cultivation levels. The Body Merging Realm was, in his understanding, a god-like realm.
Seeing the disciples' respect for Shen Xinzi, he guessed that Shen Xinzi's cultivation was extraordinary, but he hadn't expected it to be so powerful.
Shen Xinzi raised his chin and said, "Above the Body Merging Realm is the Profound Realm, followed by the Great Vehicle, Nirvana, Loose Immortal, Wanderer Immortal, and Sky Earth Flying Immortal. I'm just one step away from Sky Earth Flying Immortal."
With each realm he mentioned, Lo Qing's mouth opened wider in surprise. By the time he finished, Lo Qing was left speechless.
Lo Qing's expression greatly pleased Shen Xinzi.
At that moment, he suddenly understood the Taixuan Immortal Sage.
Because he liked Journey to the West, he had read all of Pan An's books, but he didn't understand why Taixuan Immortal Sage's books were so popular. The characters in them seemed brainless, often mocking the protagonist, and there were even scenes where the protagonist deliberately showed off. In his opinion, these didn't conform to reality.
Today, he had experienced it himself, and he finally understood.
Thanks to the strongest apprentice in history for the 500 Qidian coins and to A Drop of Water in the Ocean for the 500 Qidian coins!
