Chapter 406: Zhu Xi's Caution, the Human God
Chapter 406: Zhu Xi's Caution, the Human God
"Master, what are you looking at?"
An Xin asked curiously, and she looked up as well, but saw nothing in the sky.
She didn't think that Gu An was just casually looking around; he must have seen something.
Gu An withdrew his gaze and smiled softly, "Another powerful being has descended upon the mortal realm."
"How powerful?"
"So powerful that even the heavens can't stop them."
After hearing this, An Xin fell into deep thought.
Gu An turned to look at An Shengtian. Perhaps it was because there were too many peerless geniuses around him that An Shengtian's talent seemed mediocre in his eyes.
However, it didn't matter. Gu An took him in to help him, not expecting anything in return.
The younger generation had their own paths, and he was only there to provide assistance. It wasn't his concern how they would fare in the future.
Gu An withdrew his gaze and turned to walk towards the valley, with An Xin quickly following behind.
Jiang Shi turned to look, feeling anxious.
H
It was clear that there was a huge gap between An Shengtian and An Hao, and Jiang Shi had also heard of An Hao's achievements, knowing how exaggerated his speed was.
An Hao's speed was so exaggerated because he had received personal guidance from Gu An, while An Shengtian did not have such treatment.
Gu An had watched An Shengtian cultivate many times, only observing, which made Jiang Shi anxious.
Without a solid foundation, the gap between An Shengtian and those peerless geniuses would only widen in the future.
"Master, how is my knife technique?"
An Shengtian suddenly turned to ask Jiang Shi, his tone excited.
Jiang Shi replied casually, "You still need more practice."
After saying this, he left with a flick of his sleeve.
An Shengtian was puzzled, wondering why his master seemed to be in a bad mood.
On the other side, Gu An brought An Xin to the Human Peak and taught her cultivation on the peak.
Gu An spared no effort in nurturing An Xin, as she was his precious disciple.
He was determined to cultivate An Xin to surpass An Hao and Yang Jian.
Currently, An Xin's talent was indeed far inferior to the other two, but Gu An had resources and could teach her the Dao, so there was still hope to bridge the gap in talent.
An Hao and Yang Jian did not have the guidance of the Dao Treasury Freedom Immortal!
Two hours later.
Gu An walked down the mountain path, while An Xin remained at the top of the peak.
With the change in the Human Peak's recruitment criteria, Ding Tian Peak also had many disciples below the Nirvana Realm.
Along the way, Gu An encountered disciples greeting him, and he smiled and nodded in response. Unlike the rapidly changing Taixuan Sect, Ding Tian Peak had not changed much, and even the flowers and plants along the path had not changed much compared to several years ago.
After a long time.
Gu An arrived at the base of Ding Tian Peak, and the further down he went, the more disciples there were, and the denser and louder the commotion became.
When he reached this place, none of the disciples recognized Gu An, so no one greeted him.
Gu An walked to a medicinal garden, turned his head, and saw a female disciple sprinkling spiritual water inside.
It was Zhu Xi, the possessor of the Primordial Devouring Essence Body!
Zhu Xi had recently encountered a predicament; she had offended a disciple of Ding Tian Peak and had been suppressed here for nearly a decade.
During those ten years, Zhu Xi had behaved very obediently, causing the disciple to gradually forget about her.
As Zhu Xi was sprinkling water, she sensed something and looked up, only to see Gu An watching her.
She pretended to be nervous and asked timidly, "Senior, is there something you need?"
What an act!
This person only seemed to be at the fifth layer of the Nascent Soul Stage, but in reality, she had devoured the spiritual power of a Combined Spirit Realm cultivator and even destroyed their soul.
The power of the Primordial Devouring Essence Body far surpassed all other physiques of this era, even surpassing An Hao and Yang Jian.
Zhu Xi's strength could not be measured by her surface cultivation realm; in a sense, she was similar to Gu An, as she could devour spiritual power and cultivation methods, while Gu An could steal lifespans.
"It's nothing, I just happened to pass by. Why are you alone in this medicinal garden?" Gu An asked with a smile, his gentle expression easing Zhu Xi's tension.
Zhu Xi replied, "The garden master is visiting a fellow cultivator, and I don't know when he will return. Once he's back, I can leave."
Gu An gestured to Zhu Xi.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Xi took a step forward and walked out of the medicinal garden. She approached Gu An, stopping five steps away, and asked nervously, "Senior, what do you need me to do?"
Gu An raised his right hand, pinched his fingers, and five secret manuals appeared, fanning out to reveal their titles.
"Meeting is fate, and you have caught my eye. Choose one."
Gu An had calculated that if things continued, Zhu Xi would eventually end up on a path opposing the Human Peak. In any case, he was also the peak master of Ding Tian Peak, so he should do something for Human Peak, and he was very much looking forward to Zhu Xi's future.
Zhu Xi glanced at the manuals, her expression odd.
The Heaven Earth Universe Primordial Power, Path Walking Time Step, Dao Aura Primordial Energy, Primordial Cycle Power, and Palm Holding Universe!
They all seemed powerful, but they were unreliable!
Where would you find such peerless secret manuals inscribed on books? Cultivation sects used jade slips, and cultivators read them with their spiritual sense.
Gu An wasn't in a hurry and let her choose.
If she didn't like them, then so be it.
Gu An didn't need to use this method to resolve potential grudges. If Zhu Xi dared to cause trouble on Ding Tian Peak, he could suppress her with a wave of his hand.
Could the Primordial Devouring Essence Body swallow the Primordial Fusion Body's grand cultivation method?
Zhu Xi felt that it was too good to be true, but upon further thought, she decided that accepting the book wouldn't be a loss. However, if she refused, would this person become angry out of embarrassment?
After cultivating for so many years, Zhu Xi had encountered all sorts of troubles and had plenty of experience in handling them.
Zhu Xi took out a secret manual and then thanked Gu An.
Ta Dao Shui Yue Bu!
Gu An gave her a deep look and then smiled, turning to leave.
Zhu Xi hadn't expected him to leave so suddenly. She watched as Gu An's figure disappeared around the bend in the mountain path before returning to the garden.
Instead of continuing to water the plants, she sat at the wooden table and began to read Ta Dao Shui Yue Bu.
Before long, her expression became grave, and her hands holding the manual trembled.
"This divine ability..."
Zhu Xi looked up, no longer sensing Gu An's aura.
But she remembered Gu An's face, and her heart was filled with complex emotions.
After reading the manual, she confirmed that this divine ability was real and extremely powerful. The other party hadn't deceived her, which made her mind wander with various thoughts.
Why had the other party taken an interest in her?
It definitely wasn't because they found her pleasing.
Could it be that they had seen through her physique? Although Zhu Xi wasn't clear about the origin of her physique, she knew that if this news were to spread, she would become the public enemy of the entire world.
No way!
She must leave Renjian Peak! Zhu Xi thought to herself, her eyes firm with determination.
...
Several days later.
In the attic of the Third Medicine Valley.
Gu An was chatting with Shen Zhen, his divine sense locked onto Zhu Xi.
He hadn't expected his good intentions to scare Zhu Xi away, which made him even more curious about her.
This woman was too cautious, almost like another him!
He wasn't angry; instead, he became even more intrigued by Zhu Xi's future, as this temperament would make it easier for her to survive.
"I've been dreaming less and less lately. Tell me, have I lost my talent?" Shen Zhen asked anxiously.
When her body was occupied by Evil Beyond Shore, her consciousness was in a dream state, so she was completely unaware of Evil Beyond Shore's existence, let alone its death.
Gu An smiled and said, "Your previous dreams were already exaggerated, equivalent to enlightenment. How can one constantly enlighten? What you need to do now is summarize what you've realized and solidify your Dao heart. There will definitely be another opportunity. Do you know Wu Jue?"
He began to explain how Wu Jue had enlightened several times, without mentioning maximum lifespan, but Wu Jue had indeed enlightened multiple times.
Shen Zhen hadn't expected that Wu Jue had such an experience, no wonder he could suddenly rise to prominence.
"Hmm? Now that I think about it, why is it that those related to you always encounter all sorts of fortuitous encounters?" Shen Zhen suddenly asked.
Gu An raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it because of my merit? You should kneel and thank me!"
Shen Zhen couldn't help but roll her eyes at his words, "How is that possible? You're not worthy. I just think it's a coincidence, or perhaps we have something in common. Maybe it's because of celestial providence. A great cultivator once came to Taixuan Sect to give a lecture, and I went to listen. He talked about celestial providence..."
Gu An hadn't gone to listen to the lecture because the speaker was only a scattered immortal.
However, now that Shen Zhen mentioned it, he listened attentively.
Those with great celestial providence could always turn danger into safety and break through limits. At the same time, they would also attract each other.
Hearing this, it did seem like celestial providence could be used as a reason.
After chatting with Gu An, Shen Zhen's worries dissipated. She felt that Gu An was right; there was no need to overthink it. She had already gained a lot before.
As long as she maintained a calm mind, she would surely be able to enlighten again while playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, or painting.
"I am the Human God, and all living beings shall speak my divine name. With sincere faith, you shall receive my divine power's protection!"
A loud and majestic voice resounded, startling the entire world and interrupting Shen Zhen's speech.
Shen Zhen's face showed surprise after hearing this.
Gu An looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Zhen took a deep breath and said, "When I was writing before, I thought of the name Human God, and even imagined a scene. After I drew it, I don't know how, but it disappeared."
Gu An knew that Evil Beyond Shore had destroyed it to avoid alerting the Human God.
That Human God was also at the ninth layer of the Freedom Immortal Realm! He didn't have the celestial providence of Holy Court, but he had a complex relationship with Holy Court. This appearance was most likely invited by Holy Court.
"Should I draw it again for you?" Shen Zhen stood up and went to get paper and a brush.
"Wait, he's already descended to the mortal world, and you still dare to draw? Aren't you afraid he'll suddenly appear before us?"
Gu An glared at her and asked impatiently.
Shen Zhen felt it made sense and chose to sit down.
"He calls himself a god, could he be a true Immortal Deity?" Shen Zhen asked curiously.
Before the war between Immortal Dynasty and Holy Court, people believed they were Immortal Deities, but as the world fell into chaos, people's illusions about them shattered, thinking they were just powerful forces.
Gu An shook his head, "How would I know?"
Shen Zhen widened her eyes, "You wrote the Investiture of the Gods, Journey to the West, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. You must have received a Daoist's touch in your dreams. You definitely know more than me."
She always believed that those three books weren't fabricated and must be a part of Immortal Deity history.
Not just her, many others in the world thought the same, which was why Pan An was always remembered.
