Chapter 390: Do You Know My Master's Cultivation?
Chapter 390: Do You Know My Master's Cultivation?
As autumn turned to winter, snow gradually blanketed the Celestial Continent.
Gu An, wearing a mask, sat on the roof of a house, gazing up at the sky while Xuan Miao Zhenren, the Divine Mystery True Man, refined pills inside the courtyard, curiously observing Gu An.
No one knew what the Mountain Deity was looking at, but he stared for a long time.
Xuan Miao Zhenren thought to himself, yearning for the Mountain Deity's perspective, certain that the sights the Mountain Deity beheld transcended his imagination.
Could something extraordinary be happening beyond the heavens?
Xuan Miao Zhenren's guess was correct; something significant was indeed occurring beyond the heavens, and it concerned the entire world.
Gu An witnessed countless celestial beings forming an immense formation in the universe, and he could even discern the silhouettes of two Divine Mind True Immortals. They sat in meditation atop the formation, their auras unconcealed.
Someone was about to break through! Judging by this spectacle, it seemed a Divine Mind True Immortal was attempting to attain the Freedom Immortal realm!
Gu An couldn't pinpoint who it was, as the Immortal Dynasty was protected by its destiny and causality. Of course, given enough time, he could calculate it, but whether he did or not made little difference. There weren't many Divine Mind True Immortals, and currently, there was only one Freedom Immortal in each region.
There were only two Freedom Immortals in the entire Heavenly Spirit Great Universe.
Gu An stood up, looking down at Xuan Miao Zhenren, and said, "The world is about to change. Cultivate diligently and don't be lazy."
With that, he vanished into thin air from the roof.
Was the world about to change?
Xuan Miao Zhenren furrowed his brows, wondering what kind of calamity could prompt the Mountain Deity to speak of such a transformation.
Meanwhile, Gu An took a step and arrived inside the Subtle Spirit Palace. He looked beyond the barrier, where the Deep Sea Dragon Carp was swimming nearby.
After bumping into the barrier earlier, the carp had located the Subtle Spirit Palace. Instead of being anxious, it calmly circled the barrier, making not a sound.
Gu An walked to the empty space in front of the Subtle Spirit Palace's gate and lifted his right foot. Instantly, the Deep Sea Dragon Carp appeared beneath his foot.
The carp froze, its eyes widening. This time, it didn't struggle but remained still, gazing intently at Gu An.
"Are you asking for death? Speak, steamed or grilled?" Gu An asked expressionlessly, looking down at it.
The Deep Sea Dragon Carp's eyes welled up, and the hardships it had endured on its journey paled in comparison to the two times it had cried in front of Gu An.
Gu An showed no mercy. After a moment's thought, the Primordial Divine Eye appeared on his forehead, shooting out a golden light that penetrated the carp's body.
The Deep Sea Dragon Carp trembled, its body stiffening.
After a few breaths, it seemed to sense something and cautiously asked, "Are...are you a Divine Immortal?"
It spoke human language!
Its voice sounded like that of a young boy, filled with innocence.
Gu An didn't move his foot and asked, "What does it matter to you whether I am or not?"
"Divine Immortal...can you take me as your disciple? I'm willing to serve you as my master. Please teach me your divine abilities, and I'll always follow your commands..." The Deep Sea Dragon Carp spoke with tears in its eyes, sounding so aggrieved that it tugged at the heartstrings of those who heard it.
"Why should I take you as my disciple?"
"Please, I beg you..."
"How did you learn about Divine Immortals in the depths of the sea?"
"Since I was young, I've had many memories that weren't mine. They must have been passed down from my ancestors. I've seen Divine Immortals descending, and they looked just like you..."
"I'm a human. The human race exists in this world."
"No, you're different from humans. You give me the same feeling as those Divine Immortals..."
Hearing this, Gu An narrowed his eyes and immediately used the Great Imprisonment Soul Technique to search its memories.
The Deep Sea Dragon Carp's eyes lost their luster, as if it had died, and it even started blowing bubbles from its mouth.
After a long time, Gu An retracted his Divine Sense, his expression peculiar.
There really were Divine Immortals! In the Deep Sea Dragon Carp's memories, it was a very ancient era, but Gu An couldn't determine how long ago it was through the fragmented bloodline memories.
The Divine Immortals in its memories were undoubtedly beings beyond the Ninth Level of the Immortal Dao. There were five of them, descending from the heavens and casting mysterious crystal stones into the vast ocean.
This was the only fragment of memory, but the scene was clear, indicating that the Deep Sea Dragon Carp's ancestors held this memory close to their hearts, unwilling to forget it.
Gu An performed another calculation and confirmed that the Deep Sea Dragon Carp had no other major causality. Only then did he feel relieved.
He gently kicked the Deep Sea Dragon Carp, causing it to snap out of its daze.
Without Gu An's suppression, the Deep Sea Dragon Carp soared into the air, hovering in mid-air.
It looked at Gu An timidly, tense with anticipation.
Gu An gazed at it and said, "I can take you as my disciple, but are you sure you're willing to give up your eternal freedom?"
The Deep Sea Dragon Carp was overjoyed and nodded vigorously. "I am! As long as I can cultivate with you and become an immortal, I'm willing!"
"Become an immortal? Show me your worth first."
Gu An gave the Deep Sea Dragon Carp a sidelong glance and then began introducing the Subtle Spirit Palace to it.
The Deep Sea Dragon Carp listened attentively, afraid of displeasing Gu An.
After giving it instructions, Gu An told it to wait for a while before he would teach it cultivation methods. Then, he returned to the Taixuan Sect.
The Deep Sea Dragon Carp turned its head to look at the Subtle Spirit Palace, its eyes bright with excitement.
After decades of hardship, it finally tasted the sweetness of success.
...
Thirteen years later, in the dead of night, Gu An stood atop a mountain at the edge of Mystery Valley, toying with the Destiny Pen in his hand while gazing at the night sky.
The Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Dynasty, Yang Xian Di, was about to face his tribulation!
Tens of thousands of powerful immortal spirits gathered in the universe, and even the weakest among them were at the Flying Immortal Realm. This was not even the full strength of the Immortal Dynasty, and just witnessing this sight made one marvel at its power.
In the Beyond Sky Layer, numerous Heaven-Earth Flying Immortals from various sects stood, discussing the might of the Immortal Dynasty.
Previously, they had known that the Immortal Dynasty was powerful, but it was only today that they truly realized just how formidable it was!
The most crucial point was that the Holy Court showed no signs of concern, as if they didn't care about the Immortal Emperor's tribulation.
"What kind of terrifying tribulation is he about to face with this grand display?"
"What a terrifying aura. It feels like the number of Heaven-Earth Flying Immortals in the Immortal Dynasty is more than the combined number of people here."
"Why do you think the Immortal Dynasty dares to challenge the Holy Court?"
"The Immortal Dynasty is so ambitious. How come the Holy Court seems to be wary of them?"
The Heaven-Earth Flying Immortals from various sects discussed, and among them were cultivators from Human World Peak.
Gu An listened to their conversations, silently mourning for them in his heart.
The Holy Court wasn't wary of the Immortal Dynasty; they were clearly waiting for the right moment.
Gu An could sense that in one of the cities of the Holy Court, a large number of Wonderful Dharma Spirit Immortals and Freedom Primordial Immortals had gathered, obviously preparing for something.
He calculated that a great battle would soon take place, and some of the Heaven-Earth Flying Immortals in the Beyond Sky Layer wouldn't have time to escape, instantly turning into ashes.
This battle would also affect the Heavenly Spirit Great World, leading to earthquakes, tsunamis, storms, and other disasters in various regions. For many years to come, the Great Cang Continent would be deeply impacted, and countless lives would face a difficult period.
Gu An had no intention of intervening, as this tribulation wouldn't affect his Medicine Valley. As for the masses, they would only perceive it as a natural disaster, unaware of the higher-level struggle.
The cultivation world would understand, but they too would be caught in the turmoil of the conflict.
Once the Holy Court's control was shaken, the world would face a turmoil not seen in millions of years.
"Yang Xian Di... Interesting, he's quite a character."
Gu An thought to himself, envisioning Yang Xian Di's domineering figure in the years to come. The Holy Court would enter a dark period until the arrival of Holy Heaven.
However, he couldn't calculate where Holy Heaven was.
There were still many people in this world like Ji Xiaoyu, who possessed the reincarnation cause and effect. Without being able to calculate their past lives through reincarnation cause and effect, it was difficult to determine who Holy Heaven was in their previous life.
Perhaps Holy Heaven wasn't even in the Heavenly Spirit Great World.
Just as Gu An was predicting the future, footsteps approached from behind.
The newcomer was none other than Jiang Shi.
He cautiously approached Gu An and, seeing that Gu An's eyes were open, gathered his courage to ask, "Master, you've been here for so long. Is there anything you need? I'll prepare it for you."
Gu An didn't look at him and replied softly, "Then prepare some wine and dishes."
Jiang Shi's face lit up with joy. He quickly bowed and then turned to make the preparations.
Gu An didn't mind Jiang Shi's attentiveness, as this kid had been performing well over the years, truly settling down.
Jiang Shi had already reached the Core Formation Realm, just one level below Gu An, the valley master. With his talent, finding a master among Body Merging Realm cultivators wouldn't be difficult.
Not long after, Jiang Shi returned with wine, dishes, and a small table.
Gu An took the wine from him and casually asked, "Jiang Shi, do you know what cultivation level your master has reached?"
Jiang Shi was taken aback and paused for a moment before replying, "I heard from the senior brother that you were in the Nascent Soul Realm many years ago."
"Actually, I'm a Vagrant Immortal."
Gu An suddenly spoke, causing Jiang Shi's eyes to widen in disbelief.
Under his gaze, Gu An raised his hand, and the clouds in the sky quickly churned, forming a magnificent coiled dragon.
After a few breaths, Gu An retracted his hand, and the anomaly in the night sky disappeared, returning to normal.
Jiang Shi was stunned speechless, unable to believe his eyes.
Gu An raised his hand again, and Jiang Shi felt the world spinning. When he opened his eyes again, he was terrified, trembling all over. In his eyes, Gu An had become as massive as a mountain, and he found himself standing in Gu An's palm.
At that moment, Jiang Shi suddenly understood how Sun Wukong felt in the palm of the Buddha.
Gu An looked down at him, expressionless, and asked, "Do you regret staying in Mystery Valley now? No one knows my cultivation level, and those who did are dead."
Jiang Shi immediately knelt down, keeping his head lowered, afraid to look at Gu An. He gritted his teeth and said, "I don't regret it. Being able to become your disciple is my three lives' good fortune!"
His mind was in chaos, never expecting Gu An to be so powerful. All he could do was try his best to please Gu An.
He was terrified.
After all, Gu An had never liked him, and he wondered if he would be killed this time.
He suddenly regretted coming to flatter his master.
Wait!
If his master wanted to kill him, why go through all this trouble?
Jiang Shi's anxious heart began to calm down as he thought of this.
A hint of appreciation flashed in Gu An's eyes as he looked at Jiang Shi.
Although this guy had made mistakes in the past, they were forgivable. Moreover, with Lu Jiujia's great limit approaching, it was a good opportunity to cultivate him.
The reason Gu An had changed his view of Jiang Shi was that for decades, Jiang Shi had remained in Mystery Valley, unwilling to leave. Gu An also knew what Jiang Shi was afraid of, but that wasn't important. What mattered was that Jiang Shi could stay put, unlike Yang Jian, who wanted to leave as soon as he became stronger.
