Chapter 354: Shaking the Heavens and Earth, the Immortal Dynasty Banquet
"Of course, who do you want to choose? Do you want to go and take a look now?" Xiaochuan readily agreed, even standing up.
Gu An quickly spoke up, "No rush, not right now."
Xiaochuan replied, "Just take a look. What if there's someone who catches your eye right now?"
"There's no rush. The disciple I want to accept hasn't even been born yet."
Gu An waved his hand. Every time he imparted his teachings to Xiaochuan, Xiaochuan's Life Destiny would change, which also caused the Chuan Manor's destiny to fluctuate.
"I see."
Xiaochuan sat down again, deep in thought.
Recently, he often entered a mysterious state where the cultivation puzzles that perplexed him would effortlessly unravel, giving him a sense of enlightenment.
Thinking back now, could it be related to his senior brother? How ordinary he was, and his only blessing was his senior brother. If not for his senior brother's Primordial Life Cycle Technique, he might have already perished and returned to dust.
Gu An began to chat about major events in the cultivation world, quickly capturing Xiaochuan's interest.
It wasn't until nightfall that Gu An finally left.
He arrived at the Eight Scenic Caverns and prepared to spend the night alone.
Lying beneath the Cavern Vine Tree, his Divine Mind pierced through the mountains and peered into the heavens.
Ever since the sudden appearance of the Moonshadow Emperor, the Holy Court had dispatched a group of powerful cultivators to patrol the heavens. These cultivators were all at the Sky Earth Flying Immortal Realm, and their presence made the Sky Earth Flying Immortals coming and going feel tense.
News of the Moonshadow Emperor's attack on the Holy Court spread, but no one knew the exact details. However, the fact that someone could forcefully break into the Holy Court was enough to shock all the sects in the world.
Gu An could sense a tense atmosphere in the heavens and earth, but he couldn't quite explain the reason.
In any case, when his Divine Mind swept through, the world remained peaceful.
It was worth mentioning that after the Heavenly Ancestor passed away, Yang Jian returned to the Holy Court. Gu An wondered how he was doing now.
Without the Great Void Sacred King, Yang Jian should be able to restore his Sacred King body.
Gu An was curious about how a reincarnated body could recover the cultivation of the previous life. Did it require starting cultivation anew? As of now, Ji Xiaoyu didn't need to start over. The Primordial Dao Seal within her contained immense power, allowing her to return to her peak state at any time.
Thinking of this, Gu An wanted to borrow a lifespan cycle again.
But he held back.
He couldn't waste his lifespan anymore. He needed to save up for a billion years and then break through.
The appearance of two Divine Mind True Immortals made him feel uneasy.
He had to be the highest cultivation level in his environment to feel secure.
A billion years... He had to step up his efforts!
...
After deciding to sprint towards a billion-year lifespan, Gu An became busy. He utilized Immortal Seeking Island to collect more high-level medicinal herbs and simultaneously increased the production of medicinal herbs on Firm Sky Peak.
T
Indeed, the treatment of a third-rank celestial position was terrifying. A million top-grade spirit stones, a hundred bottles of high-grade spirit pills, and a large number of medicinal herb seeds greatly accelerated Gu An's lifespan accumulation.
Gu An's days became busy. He was either traveling around or instructing An Xin and others in their cultivation, and imparting his teachings to Ye Lan, Xiaochuan, and Zhen Qin.
In the blink of an eye.
Thirty years passed in the blink of an eye.
In early autumn of that year, the secluded paradise welcomed a bountiful harvest, and Gu An successfully accumulated fifty million years of lifespan.
Currently, he could only harvest seventh-rank medicinal herbs. The eighth and ninth-rank herbs required more time to mature.
Feeling delighted, Gu An entered the Medicine Valley, humming a little tune as he gazed at the nearly seven hundred and fifty million years of lifespan, his smile unwavering.
From a distance, he spotted Shen Xin Zi and Long Qing's figures.
Their master-disciple relationship had already been made public. No matter how Shen Xin Zi taught, Long Qing couldn't cultivate a trace of spiritual power. Long Qing, who was now cultivating his physical body, was indeed an extraordinary being. At sixty years old, Long Qing's physical strength was terrifying, even capable of rivaling the Blood Prison Great Sage of the Core Formation Realm.
Gu An raised the Blood Prison Great Sage's cultivation to the Core Formation Realm, and An Xin's cultivation also reached the Core Formation Realm. As for himself, he was at the Nascent Soul Stage.
An Xin's true cultivation had already reached the seventh layer of the Nascent Soul Stage. With the previous release of the Primordial Life Cycle Technique's restrictions, coupled with Gu An's frequent teachings, her maximum lifespan had increased to five hundred and seventy years.
Gu An saw Long Qing's excited face, indicating progress in his physical cultivation that day.
"Master!"
Long Qing, upon seeing Gu An, called out loudly and waved at him.
Shen Xin Zi also nodded at Gu An.
Gu An walked towards them, intending to chat and inquire about Long Qing's cultivation progress.
Just then, a violent earthquake shook the valley, causing everyone to panic.
Shen Xin Zi frowned and stomped his foot, releasing a silver glow from within. It expanded rapidly, covering the entire Third Medicine Valley, which then returned to tranquility, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
This was the first time Long Qing had felt Shen Xin Zi's spiritual power. He turned to look at Shen Xin Zi with admiration.
Shen Xin Zi, radiating a silver glow, seemed like a living Holy Buddha, exuding an overwhelming divine might.
While Gu An was amused, his Divine Mind looked towards the distance, where the entire Taicang Continent was trembling, and even the surrounding ocean was churning with raging waves.
The source of this chaos was a distant continent, where thunder roared and fierce winds raged.
Gu An's Divine Sense swiftly captured a figure.
The person hovered in mid-air, and below, the vast mountains and rivers turned into ruins, with billowing dust filling the heavens and earth, swirling like mist.
This was a Sky Earth Flying Immortal!
His vital energy was rapidly increasing.
He seemed to have cultivated an exceptionally robust physique, and Gu An judged it to be no less impressive than Yang Jian's Xuan Gang Dominant Body.
Gu An could see numerous Great Cultivators rushing towards this Sky Earth Flying Immortal.
Without further observation, he quickly retracted his Divine Sense and hurriedly approached Shen Xin Zi, asking anxiously, "What happened?"
Shen Xin Zi gazed into the distance, his expression grave.
Long Qing spoke up, "Master, don't be afraid. With my second master here, even if the heavens collapse, we won't fear it!"
His blind worship of Shen Xin Zi made him feel exhilarated, and as he spoke these words, he couldn't help but sound boastful, making Gu An want to laugh.
Gu An smiled, expressing relief, and then inquired about Long Qing's cultivation.
As soon as they started discussing this, Long Qing became excited. He claimed to have just mastered a set of fierce boxing techniques, capable of blasting a thirty-zhang-high hill with a single punch.
Shen Xin Zi paid no attention to his disciple and master, disappearing into thin air.
On the other side.
Ji Xiaoyu walked out of the house, gazing towards the horizon.
"The Reversed Blood Sacred Body, a rare sight. The Heavenly Spirit Great World indeed still possesses a profound foundation. Perhaps when the Holy Court falls, this world will soar instead."
The Moonshadow Emperor appeared beside Ji Xiaoyu, smiling playfully.
Ji Xiaoyu turned to look at him and asked, "How could the Holy Court, being so powerful, possibly fall?"
The Moonshadow Emperor crossed his arms in front of his chest and smiled with his eyes closed, "That's not certain. Even the strongest forces have their fates sealed in time. The Holy Court has existed for too long, and its tribulation is approaching. This is also the reason for the Holy Heaven's Life Cycle."
Ji Xiaoyu couldn't help but glance at Gu An in the distance and then asked, "Then can you calculate when the Holy Court's tribulation will arrive?"
"That's impossible. The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. Although my cultivation is high, I am no different from ordinary spirits when facing the heavenly path." The Moonshadow Emperor shook his head.
"Just wait and see, a grand spectacle will unfold soon."
After speaking, the Moonshadow Emperor disappeared into thin air.
Ji Xiaoyu's eyebrows furrowed. She wouldn't believe in any grand spectacle; the Moonshadow Emperor's spectacle was undoubtedly a catastrophe, and with the Holy Court involved, the tribulation would undoubtedly be significant.
Half a shichen later, the tremors on the Taicang Continent finally ceased. This quake caused many mortals to lose their homes and lives, and even the spirits in the mountains and forests were affected.
The various sects dispatched disciples to help those in need.
This had nothing to do with Gu An. If a powerful enemy that the continent's inhabitants couldn't resist were to appear, he might take action, but for a calamity resembling a natural disaster, he wouldn't intervene.
If he intervened too often, it might become a sin if he didn't act in the future. He couldn't let the people think he had an obligation to protect them from everything.
In a mortal's lifetime, natural disasters were inevitable, whether big or small.
That evening, Gu An witnessed the Sky Earth Flying Immortal engaging in battle with the Great Cultivators from various sects, even alarming the capital city of the Duanhai Region, forcing the Freedom Primordial Immortal to take action.
This person's physique was indeed formidable, holding his ground against the siege of multiple Sky Earth Flying Immortals until the Marvelous Technique Spirit Immortal subdued him.
Falling into the hands of the Holy Court, his fate was uncertain.
Gu An didn't pay it much attention. From time to time, such earth-shattering existences would emerge in this world, but previously, they were too far from the Duanhai Region to affect it.
Year after year passed.
Another five years went by.
At the Human World Peak, on the Firm Sky Peak.
In the courtyard, Gu An was listening to Zhu Xing Lan's report while An Xin cultivated nearby.
"It's rare for the Immortal Dynasty to invite all the sects to attend a gathering. The main peak hopes that Master will go together to prevent any deception," Zhu Xing Lan said, frowning as he mentioned this.
Gu An held a book in his hand and asked casually, "What gathering?"
"It's a banquet. The Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Dynasty wants to discuss the Dao with all the sects and has offered Immortal Fruits. It's said that these fruits mature once every million years, and consuming one can enhance comprehension and refine one's physique. Whether it's true or not, I don't know."
"Is that so? Then I won't go."
"Okay, I'll inform the main peak."
Zhu Xing Lan replied without further persuasion, as he was also worried about Gu An getting involved. The Firm Sky Peak had finally gained momentum, thanks to Gu An's support, and he naturally didn't want Gu An to be entangled in any trouble.
Hearing about the Immortal Fruits, Gu An was tempted to go, but after a second thought, he realized that with so many sects gathering, something might happen.
Perhaps the Holy Court would make a move.
Not going would mean missing out on an opportunity, but going might invite trouble.
Gu An spoke up, instructing Zhu Xing Lan to expand the medicinal herb cultivation on the Firm Sky Peak, claiming it was to increase resources for the disciples' cultivation, which touched Zhu Xing Lan.
Having such a master was indeed their good fortune.
After Zhu Xing Lan left, Gu An finally put down the book.
He felt a presence.
Lu Ling Jun! She had followed the West Spirit Holy Mother to the Human World Peak, and a Freedom Primordial Immortal led the group. The Sea of Suffering Buddhist Sect had sent many people, probably to discuss some important matter.
Gu An wasn't concerned. He stood up and said, "Xin'er, it's time to go back."
Upon hearing this, An Xin immediately got up and walked towards Gu An.
