Chapter 352: Moonshadow Emperor, Old Monster
Chapter 352: Moonshadow Emperor, Old Monster
Late summer.
Human World Peak, Firm Sky Peak.
Gu An sat in the courtyard, writing with his sleeves rolled up, while the masked Anxin cultivated by his side, creating a picturesque scene as the gentle breeze blew by.
Anxin suddenly opened her eyes and curiously asked, "Master, what cultivation level have my senior brother and junior brother reached now?"
Gu An casually replied, "Your senior brother has attained the fifth layer of the Profound Realm, and your junior brother has reached the first layer of the Body Merging Realm."
"So high?"
Anxin couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise.
"Look at Firm Sky Peak. Do their cultivation levels seem high to you?" Gu An's words silenced Anxin.
Anxin cautiously asked, "Master, do you really think I can become an immortal?"
Her actual cultivation level was only at the eighth layer of the Core Formation Realm, which was far inferior to An Hao and Yang Jian.
"Don't think about that. Instead, think about how you can achieve it. If you don't even believe in yourself, then you're truly finished."
Gu An's words made sense to Anxin, and she tried to adjust her mindset.
"By the way, Master, is Senior Divine Heart teaching Qing'er to cultivate?"
"Mhm."
"Qing'er is also cultivating the Breath Control Technique? I can't even sense his spiritual power."
"You're thinking too much. He hasn't cultivated spiritual power yet."
"Huh?"
Anxin was astonished and asked, "With Senior Divine Heart's cultivation, how is it possible for Qing'er not to cultivate spiritual power?"
"There are always people with worse aptitudes than you," Gu An said nonchalantly.
He didn't reveal that Lo Qing had reached the Nirvana Realm, fearing it would be a blow to Anxin.
Moreover, Lo Qing's identity was special, and both the Immortal Dynasty and the Holy Court might hunt him down. Before Gu An was confident he could protect Lo Qing, he didn't plan to unlock the Return to Primordial Dao within him.
In any case, Lo Qing's current lifespan exceeded ten thousand years.
It was a good opportunity for this young man to cultivate his Dao heart and avoid the path of the Dragon War, the Dragon Family's ancestor.
Anxin fell silent, and she suddenly felt sad for Lo Qing. With his personality, once he realized his talent was lacking, he would undoubtedly be deeply affected.
Gu An didn't say more and focused on his calligraphy.
Anxin looked at him, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
After a moment's thought, she realized that Master had already done a great favor by taking in Qing'er, so why should she ask him to change Qing'er's fate? Moreover, Master must have already made plans.
After coming to this realization, Anxin calmed her mind and continued her cultivation.
...
Six years later.
The weather was clear, and white clouds adorned the azure sky, each with its unique shape.
In the mountains.
The twenty-year-old Lo Qing had fully matured. He wore a tight-fitting blue robe and stood in a horse stance, constantly punching. Despite being drenched in sweat, his eyes remained determined, and he kept exhaling.
His skin was flushed, and steam rose from his body. His legs trembled, and he was on the verge of collapsing at any moment.
Divine Heart Son stood by, holding a copy of 'Journey to the West' in his hand. He glanced at the book and said, "Endure for another hour, and the medicinal effects will manifest."
Lo Qing gritted his teeth and asked, "Master, my strength has increased significantly. How many layers of Qi Condensation can I defeat now?"
"You should be able to defeat a cultivator at the third layer of Qi Condensation."
"What? Only three layers?"
Lo Qing's face showed a look of despair, but Divine Heart Son didn't offer any comfort.
After muttering to himself, Lo Qing mustered his spirits, and his gaze became determined once more.
Divine Heart Son glanced at him with the corner of his eye, secretly pleased. "This kid has an incredibly poor aptitude, but his temperament is good."
In his opinion, temperament was more challenging to cultivate than cultivation itself, so he still held hope for Lo Qing.
Teaching Lo Qing was a momentary whim, so he wasn't in a hurry.
Just then, Divine Heart Son suddenly sensed something and abruptly looked up.
On the other side, the Nine-Finger Divine Lord, who was playing chess with Gu An, also looked up.
Gu An looked up at him and urged, "What are you staring at? Hurry up and make your move."
As he spoke, Gu An's Divine Mind also locked onto the heavens.
A massive rift appeared in the starry sky beyond the heavens, hanging above the Heavenly Spirit Great World, startling the mysterious beings within the sun to open their eyes.
"Wait, something's happening in the heavens. I'll take a look first," the Nine-Finger Divine Lord said impatiently.
Gu An looked up, feigning confusion.
Under his Divine Mind's scrutiny, a figure appeared within the mysterious rift—a black-robed man with a tall and straight stature, long sleeves, broad shoulders, a cold and stern face, and a silver jade crown on his head. Behind him, two magical tools floated, emitting a brilliant light like the sun and moon, illuminating his body as if it were radiating a million rays of light.
As soon as this person appeared, the light layer on the surface of the Heavenly Spirit Great World trembled.
Upon seeing this man, Gu An felt a sense of unease.
Unfortunately, the Divine Mind could not perform a lifespan scan.
The black-robed man suddenly disappeared.
The next moment, Gu An's Divine Mind shifted towards the Holy Court in the Holy Domain, where the destiny was under assault and gathering. He felt a strong battle aura emanating from the direction of the Holy Court.
The Nine-Finger Divine Lord followed his gaze towards the Holy Domain, his brows furrowing.
He stood up and said, "Today's game is a draw. We'll play again another day."
After speaking, he vanished into thin air.
Gu An couldn't help but mutter, "Even in a hurry, he still tries to take advantage. What a despicable creature."
As he collected the chess pieces, he kept his attention on the direction of the Holy Court.
Soon, the destiny of the Holy Court regrouped, making it difficult for his Divine Mind to forcefully enter. This piqued his curiosity about what was happening inside the Holy Court.
He waited until nightfall, but the black-robed man did not appear, and the Holy Domain remained unusually calm. However, Gu An saw numerous Great Cultivators rushing towards the Holy Court like a rain of arrows.
It was clear that something had happened within the Holy Court.
In the following days, the Holy Court remained silent, and the spatial rift in the heavens had disappeared. The black-robed man did not show himself either.
Gu An searched for information on Immortal Seeking Island and Human World Peak but found nothing. However, the Great Cultivators on Human World Peak also noticed the commotion in the Holy Court, and their various speculations seemed far-fetched to Gu An.
A month passed.
As Gu An was refining pills in his room, he suddenly sensed something, causing his eyebrows to twitch slightly.
"How did he get here..."
Gu An remained seated, fearing that any movement might alert the intruder.
A figure entered the Third Medicine Valley—the black-robed man who had forcefully entered the Holy Court before.
His appearance made Gu An uneasy. Regardless of whether he was an enemy of the Holy Court or not, his arrival might attract the attention of the Holy Court.
Gu An did not want to be exposed.
After carefully sensing the man's presence, Gu An felt slightly relieved. This guy's aura was very weak, suppressed to the Core Formation Realm. It was completely different from when he had intruded upon the Holy Court, as if they were two different people.
After hesitating for a moment, Gu An stood up and walked downstairs.
As he descended the stairs, he casually glanced into the distance. When his gaze passed over the black-robed man, he immediately performed a lifespan scan, but his eyes did not linger.
[Moonshadow Emperor (Divine Mind True Immortal Realm, Eighth Stage): 15,876,308/40,000,000/60,000,000]
Divine Mind True Immortal Realm, Eighth Stage!
Over 15 million years old!
A maximum lifespan of 60 million years!
Gu An's heart raced at the sight of this ancient monster.
Why had this guy come to the Third Medicine Valley?
Was he here for him?
As Gu An descended the stairs, he was filled with confusion.
At that moment, Ji Xiaoyu walked out of her room. She did not look at Gu An but instead stared at the approaching Moonshadow Emperor in the distance.
