Chapter 393: An Yuan's Warmth
Chapter 393: An Yuan's Warmth
"Why should I accept my fate... Why..."
The boy trembled all over, his eyes filled with despair.
Dark clouds filled the sky, as if fate was shrouding his life, blocking out the sunlight and hope.
The mysterious woman in the building did not answer, nor did she comfort him. When she first saw those two words, she too had felt such despair.
She didn't blame the man either. After all, he had reminded her before he left, but she couldn't resist her family's persuasion and was dragged into the conflict, causing her descendants to hide in the deep mountains, lamenting the injustice of fate.
Just then, the boy suddenly felt a sharp pain in his palm, which startled him, and he subconsciously threw the paper ball in his hand.
He instinctively looked at his palm and saw numerous blood patterns in it, looking sinister. He seemed to sense something, and when he looked up, his gaze fixed on the bloodstained paper ball, and he quickly crawled towards it.
He picked up the paper and unfolded it, only to find that the two characters 'accept fate' had disappeared, replaced by three large characters.
Taixuan Sect!
"Taixuan Sect... What does this mean..." The boy frowned and muttered to himself.
He had, of course, heard of Taixuan Sect, the legendary number one sect in the world, surpassing even the royal dynasty.
With his talent, it would be incredibly difficult for him to enter Taixuan Sect.
A figure appeared out of thin air beside him, a woman in a black Daoist robe with white hair, but a youthful and beautiful face.
She was none other than Princess Tian Wei, who had once been betrothed to An Hao, Ji Yan'er.
She snatched the paper from the boy's hand and stared at the words, her eyebrows furrowed, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
"Didn't you tell me not to try to curry favor with him... Why did you leave a secret message, telling your descendants to go to Taixuan Sect? Did you know this day would come, or were you worried about their safety?"
Ji Yan'er spoke to herself, her tone complex, filled with surprise, reluctance, anger, and resentment.
The boy stood up, his legs weak, and it took him a while to straighten his body.
"Grandmother... What do you mean by ancestor? Are you telling me to go to Taixuan Sect?" The boy asked anxiously, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Ji Yan'er took a deep breath and said, "Yes, go to Taixuan Sect."
The boy was delighted and turned to leave.
"Wait, do you know where Taixuan Sect is and how far it is?" Ji Yan'er suddenly called out to him.
The boy turned his head and said, "Taixuan Sect is so famous, I should be able to find it."
"With your speed, it will take you ten years to get there, and by the time you arrive, you might already be dead."
Ji Yan'er stared at him, her expressionless face speaking volumes.
The boy's face paled at her words.
Ji Yan'er turned and walked towards the tower, leaving behind the words, "Wait, I'll take you to Taixuan Sect."
The boy's face lit up with joy, and he quickly knelt to thank Ji Yan'er.
At the same time, An Hao was cultivating in the Immortal Dynasty, unaware of what his descendants were going through.
He sat on a cliff, with a massive and majestic waterfall in front of him, deafening in its roar. Below was a vast lake, shrouded in mist, making the place seem like a heavenly paradise.
A figure appeared behind An Hao, a woman in a white dress, gazing at him with adoration in her eyes.
"An Hao, the Immortal Dynasty has announced a fortune bounty, why don't you go for it? With the dynasty's fortune aiding you, your cultivation will increase much faster, far better than your solitary cultivation." The woman in white spoke, her voice gentle and filled with affection.
An Hao, with his back to her, kept his eyes closed and replied, "Relying on fortune to cultivate the Dao may not be the right way. I believe more in the power I cultivate myself."
The woman in white smiled and said, "That's true, your talent is so exceptional that you can reach the peak of the Immortal Dao on your own, it's just a matter of time."
An Hao didn't respond, and the only sound in the world was the rushing waterfall hitting the lake.
The woman in white continued to watch An Hao, not finding it boring at all.
After a while, An Hao spoke, "Please return, Immortal Maiden. Perhaps I misunderstood your intentions. In any case, I will not remarry in this life. I once had a wife, but for the sake of cultivation, I severed my ties with her, and I don't wish to have a non-friendly relationship with another woman."
An Hao's tone was calm, but his words were resolute.
After hearing this, the woman in white's expression changed slightly. She wanted to say something, but looking at An Hao's back, she couldn't bring herself to speak.
She watched his back for a while before finally turning and leaving.
After she left, An Hao opened his eyes, a hint of melancholy in his gaze.
"After so many years, are you still well?"
An Hao muttered to himself, and a bright and playful girl appeared before his eyes. Her smile was unforgettable, even after hundreds of years.
...
One year later, near Taixuan Sect, in the mountains.
Ji Yan'er and the boy were on their way, the boy carrying a large bundle on his back, bending his spine.
He looked at his grandmother walking ahead and couldn't help but ask, "Grandmother, why don't you teach me cultivation? Otherwise, I'll surely die of exhaustion."
When his grandmother took out a flying treasure, he was stunned, never expecting her to be so powerful.
He had also questioned her before about why she didn't save his grandfather and father, to which Ji Yan'er replied that they were too far away, and she couldn't make it in time.
As for why she didn't seek revenge, it was also for his sake.
The enemy was a powerful family with Immortals, far beyond her capabilities.
Upon learning the truth, the youth became even more eager to cultivate.
He had to become stronger!
"We're almost there, what are you cultivating?" Ji Yan'er's voice came from ahead.
The youth was overjoyed and hurriedly quickened his pace.
He began asking about his ancestors' connection with the Taixuan Sect.
This time, Ji Yan'er did not hide anything.
"Your ancestor's name is An Hao. He was the number one genius in the world, and now he's exploring even more distant lands. He's the pride of the Taixuan Sect..."
As Ji Yan'er spoke, her face revealed a nostalgic expression.
She thought of An Hao's spirited and heroic face.
She held no grudges against An Hao's choice; it was she who had fallen for him first. Moreover, before leaving, An Hao had left behind many treasures, which was why she and her descendants had survived after the An Clan's decline.
Hearing the name An Hao, the youth felt it sounded familiar. But as he listened to his grandmother's praise, he remained calm, his face growing increasingly gloomy.
The stronger An Hao was, the more the youth hated him.
So what if he was the number one genius? In the youth's eyes, he was just an irresponsible ancestor, probably not that powerful!
The two continued chatting as they walked, with Ji Yan'er doing most of the talking while the youth remained quiet.
As they walked, figures appeared ahead. The first to catch their attention was a man riding a Demonic Ox, accompanied by a woman.
Ji Yan'er had already sensed their auras, and one of them was even a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, undoubtedly a disciple of the Taixuan Sect. So, she wanted to find these two to guide them into the sect.
She quickened her pace, with the youth following closely behind, his gaze fixed on the Blood Hell Saint.
What a fine ox!
Gu An patted the Blood Hell Saint's head, signaling it to stop.
An Xin De turned her head to look, and her eyes quickly locked onto the youth, her eyebrows furrowing.
[An Yuan (Cultivation Realm Level 1): 17/25/5000]
Gu An looked at the youth's lifespan, his expression unchanged, but he was secretly puzzled. Why was his lifespan so short?
The reason Gu An brought An Xin De here was that he had foreseen Ji Yan'er and her companion's arrival, and he had also calculated the tribulations faced by An Hao's descendants. However, when he actually met An Yuan, he was still surprised.
This lifespan was ridiculously short, despite the youth's body showing no signs of illness.
Ji Yan'er approached An Xin De and raised her hand in salute, saying, "I am Ji Yan'er, from the former Tian Wei land. May I ask if you are disciples of the Taixuan Sect?"
"You're Ji Yan'er?"
An Xin De widened her beautiful eyes in surprise.
Ji Yan'er asked curiously, "Have you heard of my name, Miss?"
"Of course, my senior brother mentioned you to me!"
"Your brother is...?"
Ji Yan'er became excited as well, recalling that An Hao had told her he had a sister.
An Xin De did not hide her identity, revealing that she was his junior sister, and the two women embraced each other as if they had been reunited after a long separation.
An Yuan stared at An Xin De, surprised that this heavenly beauty was his ancestor's junior sister.
So young, she looked around his age!
"And who is this?"
Ji Yan'er turned her gaze to Gu An, asking curiously.
An Xin De quickly introduced him, "This is my master. Of course, he's not the master of my senior brother and me, but my second master."
Y
Gu An smiled and asked, "You're not here to find An Hao, are you? He has joined the Immortal Dynasty, and even if you're a Great Sage Stage cultivator, it would take decades, even a century, to reach the Immortal Dynasty."
Immortal Dynasty!
J
Had he already reached such heights...
Ji Yan'er suddenly felt grateful, grateful that she hadn't clung to him back then. If she had stayed in the Great Cang Continent, how could An Hao have achieved such greatness?
"Let's go back to the valley first and rest for a few days before discussing further," Gu An added, which was exactly what Ji Yan'er had in mind. She quickly saluted in gratitude and asked An Yuan to speak.
An Yuan woke up from his daze and bowed in return.
The group headed towards Mystery Valley.
An Xin De and Ji Yan'er walked hand in hand in front, while An Yuan cautiously followed behind the Blood Hell Saint's buttocks.
The Blood Hell Saint turned his head to look at An Yuan, his eyes full of curiosity.
An Yuan felt uncomfortable under his gaze, wondering if the monster wanted to eat him.
"He does look a lot like An Hao, but his talent is far inferior. I can't believe such a genius like An Hao could have such a poor descendant," the Blood Hell Saint said.
An Yuan was furious, but he dared not retort.
Gu An slapped the Blood Hell Saint on the head, annoyed, "What's the point of saying that about the junior? Do you believe I can make you even worse than him?"
The Blood Hell Saint shivered in fear and dared not speak.
An Yuan looked at Gu An curiously, feeling a sense of goodwill towards him.
For some reason, when An Yuan first saw Gu An, he felt a strong affinity, finding his smile warm and comforting.
Gu An waved at An Yuan, signaling him to come over to the Blood Hell Saint.
