Chapter 424: I Am the Dao Support Sword Zun
Chapter 424: I Am the Dao Support Sword Zun
As the Primordial Immortal King turned to ash and disappeared, the entire universe seemed to quiet down in an instant.
The cultivators of the Great Profound Sect were all left dumbfounded, staring at Gu An with shock in their eyes. Even Di Xie, standing before Gu An, was stunned, his body frozen in place.
The Nine-Finger Divine Lord and the Divine Heart Son were equally petrified, unable to believe their eyes.
Gu An's expression remained unchanged, but he felt a hint of regret in his heart.
Could such a powerful Freedom Immortal not break through his Huda Shenyuan? He truly hadn't counterattacked just now. The Primordial Immortal King had been vanquished by his own power and the Huda Shenyuan, both body and soul annihilated.
Unfortunately, the Primordial Immortal King was not a living being, so Gu An did not gain any lifespan from this.
More and more figures appeared out of thin air, all of them high-level cultivators of the Great Profound Sect. They looked at the street where Gu An was standing, their brows furrowed, as the air was still filled with the powerful aura of the Primordial Immortal King. Seeing the chaos on the street, they couldn't help but imagine the commotion that had just taken place.
Gu An raised his right hand, and strands of black energy appeared out of thin air, drilling into his palm. He then casually slipped his hand into his sleeve, and no one could see what it was.
He looked down at Di Xie and asked, "Brother Di, are you alright?"
Di Xie snapped out of his daze and, with Gu An's support, stood up shakily. He looked at Gu An, and his eyes couldn't hide his reverence.
"You..."
Di Xie's lips trembled as he wanted to ask about Gu An's identity, but he was afraid of offending him.
"Dao Support Sword Zun!"
Someone shouted from a distance, and with these words, the silence was broken. Voices of exclamation rose and fell, quickly turning into a cacophony.
Di Xie also guessed this.
The Primordial Immortal King had claimed to be at the ninth level of the Immortal Dao, and the only one in the Great Profound Sect capable of killing someone at that level was the Dao Support Sword Zun.
He was actually the Dao Support Sword Zun...
Di Xie looked at Gu An's gentle smile, but his Dao Heart couldn't calm down.
Recalling the years of interaction with Gu An, he felt ashamed and fearful. Fortunately, he had never looked down on Gu An, and at least he hadn't been rude during their exchanges.
Gu An couldn't hear his thoughts, but he could guess what they were.
Regarding this, Gu An found it amusing and didn't feel the need to prove anyone wrong. He enjoyed socializing with others and never demanded too much. As long as people showed him a smile, it was already good enough; there was no need to ask for more.
"Is he the Dao Support Sword Zun?"
"No, it's more likely that the Dao Support Sword Zun protected him."
"That's right. Since we didn't see him make a move, it must have been the Dao Support Sword Zun who acted."
"That person is Gu An, the Valley Master of the Third Medicine Valley. He invented Go, Chinese Chess, and Gomoku. I know him, and he's definitely not the Dao Support Sword Zun."
"I've known him for hundreds of years, and he's an extremely kind person. Perhaps he has met the Dao Support Sword Zun, who is living in seclusion, so the Sword Zun came to help him."
"I wonder if that guy is dead or not."
More and more disciples started discussing, and the atmosphere changed in an instant. As Gu An's acquaintances spoke up, many believed that the Dao Support Sword Zun had protected Gu An, rather than him being the Sword Zun himself.
Of course, there were still some who thought Gu An was the Dao Support Sword Zun because he had been so calm in the face of the Primordial Immortal King.
Even if he wasn't the Sword Zun, he must have had a close connection with him, or else he wouldn't be so fearless.
Lu Baitian, Ji Hantian, Gu Zong, and other high-ranking members appeared one after another. When Lu Baitian saw Gu An, he heaved a sigh of relief. He gave Ji Hantian a quick instruction and then appeared next to Gu An.
"Let's go somewhere else to talk," Lu Baitian said in a low voice. He glanced at Di Xie, his eyes filled with surprise.
Gu An nodded slightly and followed Lu Baitian away.
Di Xie watched Gu An's departing figure, about to speak, when two figures appeared in front of him out of thin air.
"Come with us," one of them said coldly. The oppressive aura of the Immortal Realm enveloped Di Xie, leaving him no choice but to comply.
The street was quickly sealed off, and the onlookers were dispersed. The strange phenomena in the sky and the remnants of clouds gradually disappeared, and the white snow continued to fall.
In the distance, streaks of meteors appeared, figures emerging from the Reincarnation Whirlpool, descending upon various places in the Heavenly Spirit Great World.
...
"It's over? What happened?"
The Ancient Immortal Emperor looked into the distance, frowning as he asked. In the grand hall, only he and the Yang Immortal Emperor remained.
The Yang Immortal Emperor also sensed the sudden cessation of the Primordial Immortal King's aura. He pondered for a moment and said, "It's likely the work of the Dao Support Sword Zun."
The Yang Immortal Emperor couldn't forget the place where the Primordial Immortal King had descended.
That was the place that had brought shame to the Immortal Dynasty!
A powerful immortal spirit had been slain by the Dao Support Sword Zun, and the Immortal Dynasty dared not seek revenge. This situation naturally caused great dissatisfaction within the dynasty, directed at the higher-ups and the Yang Immortal Emperor himself.
Although the Yang Immortal Emperor feared the Dao Support Sword Zun, he hadn't expected that the Sword Zun could make the Primordial Immortal King's aura disappear in such a short time.
The Taicang Continent...
What had happened there? The Yang Immortal Emperor suddenly felt the urge to visit the Great Profound Sect.
At this moment, not only him but even the Holy Chancellor of the Holy Court wanted to make a trip there.
The Primordial Immortal King had been so dominant; it was impossible for him to have restrained his aura right after landing. It was more likely that he had been suppressed.
"Dao Support Sword Zun, who are you, and what is your purpose in hiding your identity?"
The Holy Chancellor sat on his holy throne, his eyes filled with deep thought.
The holy deities in the hall were also discussing this matter. The Primordial Immortal King's aura had disappeared too quickly, and no matter the outcome, it would make them uneasy.
Half an hour later, Gu An leisurely returned to the Third Medicine Valley. As soon as he arrived, he was surrounded by a large group of disciples.
News of what happened in the Outer Gate City spread quickly, and the name of Gu An and Feng Dao Sword Zun became widely known, although there were various speculations. One thing was certain: Gu An was very likely to have a connection with Feng Dao Sword Zun.
The disciples had heard before that their master's cultivation was not ordinary, and now with this new information, how could they not be excited?
Facing their inquiries, Gu An helplessly said, "I won't hide it from you. I am indeed Feng Dao Sword Zun. All along, I have been interacting with you as an ordinary Medicine Valley master, but in return, you don't show enough reverence towards me. This time, my actions were unexpected."
As soon as these words came out, the disciples couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Among the crowd, You Yingying couldn't help but hum, "You're really good at pretending."
Doubts arose in her heart. Previously, Shen Xinzi wanted to kill her, but suddenly changed his mind. Could it be related to Gu An?
Could Gu An really be Feng Dao Sword Zun?
It shouldn't be, she thought. She had heard from Xuantian Yi about his growth story, and now, he was only around seven hundred years old.
At this age, how could he possibly be Feng Dao Sword Zun?
Gu An's lighthearted tone left her unable to think otherwise.
Not just her, but other disciples also felt that Gu An was joking.
Gu An didn't offer further explanations, leaving them to guess the truth. It was interesting to let life retain some mystery.
It's worth mentioning that earlier, Lu Baitian had promised to help suppress this matter.
Lu Baitian thought that Gu An had acted to protect Tai Xuan Men.
Of course, there were more reasons in his heart.
He feared that the true identity of Feng Dao Sword Zun would be exposed, a concern shared by the core upper echelons of Tai Xuan Men.
If other factions were to learn of Feng Dao Sword Zun's true identity, it would be disastrous. They weren't afraid of something happening to Feng Dao Sword Zun, but rather, they feared he might be lured away.
The Holy Court was the best example!
Gu An managed to escape the disciples' entanglement and arrived at his own pavilion, only to be blocked by Ji Xiaoyu.
"Did you cause that commotion earlier?" Ji Xiaoyu asked.
Gu An shook his head and said, "There was a guy who descended from the sky and wanted to snatch my crown. Just as he was about to strike me, he suddenly disappeared."
As he spoke, he patted his chest, looking shocked.
Ji Xiaoyu seemed deep in thought, and for some reason, Gu An's description gave her a sense of familiarity.
Seeing her lost in thought, Gu An didn't continue speaking and went inside alone.
When Gu An closed the door, Ji Xiaoyu snapped out of her daze. She turned her head towards the second-floor door, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Could it be the Heavenly Dao Aura? Even if it is, to want to annihilate such an existence..."
Ji Xiaoyu's heart was filled with shock, and Gu An became incredibly mysterious in her eyes.
As time passed, the events in the Outer Gate City quickly spread, even with Tai Xuan Men's efforts to suppress the news. Various factions heard one name.
Gu An!
After returning to his room, Gu An picked up the Green Hero's Journey.
He could sense that the followers of the Primordial Immortal King had descended upon the mortal realm, bringing impending disaster. However, Gu An didn't intend to intervene.
This disaster would cause the Immortal Dynasty and the Holy Court to temporarily cease their conflict, which was a good thing.
The war between the Immortal Dynasty and the Holy Court affected countless sentient beings.
Moreover, with Gu An's current insight into cause and effect and fate, he could foresee even more distant calamities. No matter how he intervened, the tribulations of the Heavenly Spirit Great World would never permanently disappear. There would be life and death, blessings and curses—this was the law of evolution for all things.
After the Primordial Immortal King's annihilation, the winter snow grew heavier.
In the following days, more and more people came to the Third Medicine Valley to play chess, visit, and meet Gu An. Gu An, however, continued to wander through his various medicine valleys, harvesting medicinal herbs.
When he went to Nianchu Cave Mansion, the three Heavenly Demon Children questioned him about the Primordial Immortal King's roar. Gu An briefly comforted them before guiding their cultivation.
Life was still quite busy. Aside from harvesting herbs, Gu An also had to instruct the Heavenly Demon Children, Tian Qing, Tian Bai, and An Xian. Additionally, he had to make time for self-cultivation and tempering his character.
In the blink of an eye, the New Year's Festival arrived.
On the morning of the Spring Festival, Gu An made a trip to the Inner Gate City, where he drank with Wu Jue in an inn and listened to a storyteller narrate tales of the overseas world.
"It is said that the Immortal Lord Qin is a supreme being from a million years ago. He has returned from the cycle of reincarnation and needs to devour the souls of ten thousand cultivators to reconstruct his physical body..."
The storyteller's words were filled with emotional fervor, captivating even Gu An and Wu Jue.
Wu Jue turned to Gu An, curious, and asked, "What is your relationship with Feng Dao Sword Zun?"
Gu An glanced at him and said, "I am Feng Dao Sword Zun. What do you think our relationship is?"
"Impossible! I've watched you grow from the Foundation Establishment Realm to where you are today. If you're Feng Dao Sword Zun, then I must be the Yang Immortal Emperor!" Wu Jue exclaimed.
Gu An's gaze followed someone heading upstairs.
