Chapter 418: Why Don't You Just Say You're a Mind-Spirit True Immortal?
Chapter 418: Why Don't You Just Say You're a Mind-Spirit True Immortal?
The Primordial Dao Seal continuously exudes the power of the Cycle Dao Emperor, causing Ji Xiaoyu's divine sense to rapidly strengthen.
Whether it's Ji Xiaoyu or the Nine-Finger Divine Lord, they both understand that the game of Go is a battle of calculation. This is why Gu An, despite being at a lower realm, has been able to consistently win against them, leaving them feeling dissatisfied.
The Nine-Finger Divine Lord senses Ji Xiaoyu's rapidly growing power and is secretly startled.
More and more powerful cultivators are drawn to the scene, including Shen Xinzi and Long Qing.
Gu An and Ji Xiaoyu play swiftly, exuding a killing intent that makes the onlookers dare not even breathe.
A figure suddenly appears beside Ji Xiaoyu—none other than the Sun-Moon-Dark Emperor. He gazes at the Go board, his brows furrowed, as if he wants to speak but stops himself.
Anxin and You Yingying also approach, observing the game from the crowd.
Even those with lower cultivation levels can sense Ji Xiaoyu's ever-increasing momentum.
You Yingying stares at Ji Xiaoyu, secretly amazed. She has always been curious about Ji Xiaoyu's background, only knowing that Ji Xiaoyu is from the Ji family.
Ji Xiaoyu is undoubtedly the most mysterious figure in the Third Medicine Valley, always in seclusion, and only has a close relationship with Gu An.
Anxin is also curious about Ji Xiaoyu's strength. She knows that Ji Xiaoyu is powerful, and Gu An has even claimed that her talent is no less than An Hao's. How could she not be curious?
As Ji Xiaoyu's momentum continues to rise, thunderclouds gather in the sky, creating an intense atmosphere that quickly darkens the heavens. Thunder rumbles in the distance.
The disciples in the valley look up in surprise, discussing the unusual phenomenon. Even the disciples from other cities and medicine valleys in the Taixuan Sect are drawn to the spectacle.
"What's happening?"
"Is someone undergoing tribulation?"
"It's coming from the Dao Ground. Feel it carefully; there's a power rapidly growing stronger."
"Indeed, many people are rushing over there. Let's go and take a look."
"What's there to be afraid of? Within the Taixuan Sect, even if the heavens fall, we need not fear!"
The valley disciples discuss among themselves, and many head towards the Dao Ground to see what's happening.
Gu An holds a white stone and looks at Ji Xiaoyu, asking, "Do you have to go this far?"
Once the power of the Primordial Dao Seal is used excessively, it will be expelled by the cycle rules, and Gu An can see Ji Xiaoyu's lifespan decreasing.
Ji Xiaoyu raises her eyes to meet his gaze and says, "I must defeat you once to have no regrets. It's quite enjoyable to battle on the Go board."
Gu An stares at her and smiles, "Even so, I won't admit defeat. In my life, I've never truly lost. Even if I do lose, it's only to myself."
The Nine-Finger Divine Lord can't help but speak up, "You're really good at pretending. Someone who doesn't know you might think you're the Dao-Supporting Sword Lord."
Gu An glances at him and says, "How dare a defeated opponent bark like a dog? I'll teach you a lesson later."
The Nine-Finger Divine Lord's face turns red with anger, but he doesn't know how to refute.
The other spectators find it amusing but dare not offend the Nine-Finger Divine Lord.
The Sun-Moon-Dark Emperor watches Gu An's moves on the Go board, his expression becoming increasingly peculiar.
He doesn't stop Ji Xiaoyu because, to him, he serves the Cycle Dao Emperor, not Ji Xiaoyu.
He wishes for Ji Xiaoyu to recover and become the Cycle Dao Emperor again!
The two continue their game, Ji Xiaoyu's moves becoming increasingly fierce. Still, Gu An manages to neutralize each one.
The onlookers are secretly amazed, as they also enjoy playing Go and have their own insights. They can tell that Ji Xiaoyu's skill is exceptional, and each of her offensive moves surprises them.
Despite this, Gu An neutralizes every one of Ji Xiaoyu's moves. His moves may not be as powerful as Ji Xiaoyu's, but they give off an impenetrable aura.
Boom! A clap of thunder echoes beneath the thunderclouds, startling many.
Ji Xiaoyu stares at the Go board, her face cold and her eyes filled with pressure. The momentum of her moves continues to intensify.
In contrast, Gu An remains calm, playing at a steady pace.
Time passes quickly.
As the game progresses, Ji Xiaoyu's moves slow down.
With the power of the Primordial Dao Seal, her calculation speed increases, but no matter how fast she calculates, she can't turn the tide. This situation increases her pressure with each move, and she even starts to feel like she can't beat Gu An.
Ji Xiaoyu raises her eyes to look at Gu An, seeing him smiling, seemingly unaffected by the tense atmosphere around him. The spectators frown, nervous for the players, while Gu An seems calm and collected.
The more confident Gu An becomes, the more Ji Xiaoyu feels uncertain.
Does she really have to summon her true self?
Ji Xiaoyu furrows her brows, her eyes flashing with hesitation.
Gu An suddenly makes a move, his voice ringing out. He continues, "That's enough. You've lost."
Ji Xiaoyu's brows knit tighter, and just as she's about to speak, Gu An raises his hand, and the Go jar moves to his side.
Without waiting, Gu An waves his right hand, and the black and white stones from the two jars fly out, landing on the Go board.
Everyone is taken aback, unsure of what he's doing.
Ji Xiaoyu looks at the Go board, and her expression changes.
The Nine-Finger Divine Lord and the Sun-Moon-Dark Emperor also look perplexed.
Black and white stones continue to fall, and more stones fly up. From the black stones' path, it's clear that Ji Xiaoyu is not playing personally.
After ten breaths, no more stones fall, and the game's outcome is clear—the white stones have won.
The others realize that Gu An has simulated Ji Xiaoyu's moves.
They were all cultivators, with extraordinary memories beyond that of mortals. They reviewed the previous moves, and the higher their cultivation, the faster their expressions changed.
They looked at Gu An with disbelief.
Could he have calculated this too?
Ri Yue Ming Di, the highest cultivator among them, secretly compared his calculations. Gu An's simulated game path for Ji Xiaoyu was incredibly strong, and if it were him, victory wouldn't be so easily achieved.
The Nine-Finger Divine Lord opened his mouth to speak but ultimately couldn't say a word.
Gu An turned to the Nine-Finger Divine Lord and smiled, asking, "How about a game?"
The Nine-Finger Divine Lord's expression turned stern as he replied, "Forget it, another day. Today, you played exceptionally well, giving me much inspiration. I need to meditate on it."
Gu An was amused; this senior's tone was so rigid.
He turned to Ji Xiaoyu and smiled, asking, "What's wrong? Can't handle losing?"
Ji Xiaoyu took a deep breath, looked at Gu An, and said, "I lost."
The Primordial Dao Seal within her began to calm down, and her aura dissipated with it.
She stood up and walked to the side.
Ri Yue Ming Di seized the opportunity to sit down and said, "Let's play a game!"
Gu An looked at him and asked, "Can you play?"
"Why not? I've played here several times before." Ri Yue Ming Di glared at Gu An, annoyed, feeling that this young man was too arrogant.
Ji Xiaoyu came to Gu An's side, her eyes complex, her thoughts unknown.
The Nine-Finger Divine Lord had met Ri Yue Ming Di once and had always felt that this person's cultivation was unfathomably profound. He was intrigued and wanted to see if Ri Yue Ming Di could win against Gu An.
Facing Ri Yue Ming Di's challenge, Gu An naturally wouldn't refuse.
The two of them quickly engaged in a fierce battle.
The others continued to watch.
Half an hour later, Gu An stood up. Under Ji Xiaoyu's astonished gaze, he looked down at Ri Yue Ming Di and said, "Go isn't as simple as you think."
The surrounding disciples immediately cheered, although they weren't clear about Ri Yue Ming Di's identity. Inside the Third Medicine Valley, they undoubtedly supported Gu An.
The Nine-Finger Divine Lord, the Divine Heart Son, and several other great cultivators stared at the board, unable to snap out of their astonishment for a long time.
Ri Yue Ming Di trembled all over, his face filled with disbelief.
"How is this possible..."
Ri Yue Ming Di muttered to himself, unable to believe that he had lost.
Seeing Gu An turn around, he immediately stood up and asked in a deep voice, "Stop! Who are you? You're not Gu An!"
With these words, everyone turned to look at Gu An, including the Divine Heart Son and the Nine-Finger Divine Lord.
Long Qing couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean? You're angry because you can't beat me?"
Ri Yue Ming Di stared intently at Gu An's back and said, "My cultivation is above the fourth heaven of the Immortal Dao. How could he possibly beat me? The game path I calculated isn't something an ordinary spirit could think of."
Above the fourth heaven of the Immortal Dao?
Above the Heavenly-Earth Flying Immortal?
Even the Nine-Finger Divine Lord and the Divine Heart Son were startled, their gazes towards Ri Yue Ming Di filled with fear.
Gu An turned to face Ri Yue Ming Di and said, "The fourth heaven of the Immortal Dao? Why don't you just say you're a Mind-Spirit True Immortal?"
Ri Yue Ming Di's face changed dramatically, and Ji Xiaoyu's expression also shifted. She looked at Gu An, feeling that he was so unfamiliar.
Gu An stared at Ri Yue Ming Di and said, "Since you know I'm stronger than you, how dare you speak to me like this while hiding in my residence?"
His tone was indifferent, but he exuded a tremendous sense of oppression.
For the first time, the disciples realized how intimidating their master was.
However, they had never heard of the term Mind-Spirit True Immortal, and even the Nine-Finger Divine Lord and the Divine Heart Son were pondering what realm it represented.
Ri Yue Ming Di's face turned extremely ugly. Facing Gu An's gaze, his heart raced uncontrollably, and he felt more nervous than when he had ventured into the Holy Court.
"You are..." Ri Yue Ming Di clenched his teeth, but the words 'Dao-Supporting Sword Lord' just wouldn't come out.
Gu An turned around and smiled at Ji Xiaoyu, saying, "Let's go back to the room and talk."
Ji Xiaoyu nodded subconsciously and followed him away.
Ri Yue Ming Di stood in his original spot, staring at their departing figures.
The others exchanged glances, their hearts filled with confusion.
Long Qing approached the Divine Heart Son and asked in a low voice, "Master, what realm is the Mind-Spirit True Immortal?"
The Divine Heart Son didn't answer; he also wanted to know the answer to this question.
In any case, he was clear on one point: the Mind-Spirit True Immortal was above the Heavenly-Earth Flying Immortal, and Gu An was likely even stronger than the Mind-Spirit True Immortal. Otherwise, how could he have scared Ri Yue Ming Di into such a state?
An Xian was the only one who wasn't surprised; she was only excited.
She also wanted to reveal her true self in front of others, just like her master. Her motivation for cultivation grew stronger, and she immediately turned around and left, ready to cultivate diligently.
On the way to the pavilion, Ji Xiaoyu looked at Gu An, her heart filled with a thousand words she wanted to say.
"Have you awakened your past life's memories?" Ji Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask.
She had previously guessed that he might be a Freedom Immortal's reincarnation, and now she was even more certain of this. Otherwise, how could Gu An suppress Ri Yue Ming Di?
As for the possibility of Gu An being the Dao-Supporting Sword Lord, she didn't think it was likely.
The Dao-Supporting Sword Lord had made his move more than once, and if a reincarnator were to use their original body's power, they would be expelled by the reincarnation rules.
