Chapter 438: Sacred Heart Sword Dao, Gu An's Transformation
After inheriting Yang Xian's memories, Gu An obtained the latter's Sword Dao heritage, the culmination of Yang Xian's lifelong dedication to the Sword Dao.
Sacred Heart Sword Dao!
This Sword Dao uses the heart as the essence of the sword, allowing one to transform their thoughts into their own sword.
Flowers, trees, mountains, rivers, and seas can all become swords. All living beings and even the sun, moon, and stars can be transformed into swords!
Yang Xian even wanted to turn the Three Thousand Great Daos into his swords, but his Sword Dao had not yet reached the level of the Great Dao, so it remained a mere concept for now.
When Gu An finished assimilating Yang Xian's memories, he opened his eyes, and a day had already passed.
It seemed like only a day, but he had experienced a lifetime. Those memories were so intense, as if he had lived through them himself.
He was Yang Xian, yet he wasn't entirely Yang Xian. To be precise, Yang Xian was just a part of him, Gu An. This feeling was quite mystical.
Yang Xian brought more to Gu An than just the Sacred Heart Sword Dao; he also brought a profound understanding of various Great Daos.
Even Gu An was amazed by Yang Xian's enlightenment. Without using lifespan evolution, Yang Xian's comprehension of the Great Daos was exceptionally deep, surpassing that of other reincarnated selves.
Gu An glanced at the lifespan consumed by the lifespan barrier; it wasn't much. He stood up and took a step back into the Spirit Palace.
The Abyssal Carp was cultivating when he heard footsteps and opened his eyes to see Gu An's return. He was delighted and quickly got up to ask, "Master, why have you returned?"
Gu An looked at him and said, "You wanted some combat techniques, right? How about I teach you a set of sword techniques?"
"Of course! Thank you so much, Master!"
The Abyssal Carp immediately bowed to Gu An, excitedly approaching him with anticipation.
Without further ado, Gu An began to teach him sword techniques, guiding him through the Sacred Heart Sword Dao from basic sword forms.
The Abyssal Carp felt that Gu An's demeanor had changed somewhat, but he couldn't pinpoint what exactly had changed. Instead, he felt even more respect for Gu An.
This was the influence of Yang Xian's memories on Gu An.
Yang Xian, known as the Sword Dao Sage, often preached, and his noble demeanor was hard to conceal, already beginning to affect Gu An.
Integrating the memories of his reincarnations inevitably influenced Gu An.
After an hour, Gu An returned to the Third Medicine Valley. As he descended from the teleportation platform, he encountered disciples greeting him.
"Do you feel that Master has changed?"
"Do you sense it too?"
"Indeed, has he broken through again?"
"How can we, his disciples, even fathom Master's cultivation? Don't forget who's backing him."
The disciples whispered as they watched Gu An's departing figure, some even deliberately flattering him, guessing that Gu An could hear them.
When Gu An reached the pavilion, even the Blood Prison Great Sage was startled by the change in his demeanor.
Had the master's cultivation improved again?
He felt a sense of reverence for Gu An, and the stronger Gu An became, the happier he was, as he had decided to follow Gu An for the rest of his life.
"It's not necessary to wait a thousand years; just be prepared."
Gu An paused and said this to the Blood Prison Great Sage.
Upon hearing this, the Blood Prison Great Sage was stunned, and the fur on his ox body began to move as if blood flames were burning.
Gu An continued up the stairs and returned to his room. He sat at his desk, took out paper and pen, and began to write down the sword techniques and cultivation methods from Yang Xian's memories.
He wasn't worried about forgetting them; he just wanted to write them down to spread opportunities in the future.
Later, he could even create a building dedicated to housing these secret manuals, not for profit but for the sheer pleasure of collecting them...
Ahem!
To show off!
Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door. Gu An responded, and An Xian entered, closing the door behind her.
She approached the desk without saying a word, simply observing Gu An.
Gu An didn't stop writing, keeping his head down as he asked, "Is there something you need?"
An Xian smiled and said, "I heard that your demeanor has changed, and everyone is guessing that you've broken through. So, I came to see for myself, and it's true; you have a more powerful aura than before."
Gu An smiled but didn't respond.
He suddenly thought of Yang Xian's experiences and asked, "Do you have emotional thoughts?"
An Xian was taken aback and asked in surprise, "What kind of emotional thoughts? There's no one in this valley who can make me lose my heart to the mortal world. Moreover, I will never fall into a love tribulation in my life. My senior brother once told me that his greatest regret was forming a bond with someone, which hindered his progress. But if he were to abandon it, he would suffer in his heart. I will never let myself fall into such a situation."
An Shengtian and the descendants of the An family still held a grudge against An Hao, which made An Xian even less inclined to acknowledge him as her biological son.
Furthermore, she had cultivated and would not be influenced by the instincts of her mortal body. She was happy with her current life and genuinely did not yearn for love.
Gu An looked up at her and saw that she didn't seem to be just going through the motions, so he smiled and said, "Is that so? The word 'love' is not as simple as you think. When fate arrives, you may forget your current words."
An Xian tilted her chin up and hummed, "I won't forget. Master, you're not trying to drive me away, are you?"
"How could I? I just read a book these past few days, and it made me reflect on the love stories within."
As Gu An spoke, that complex emotion surfaced in his heart once again.
Yang Xian's greatest regret in life was rejecting Fang Meng. He had never been with a woman because just remembering Fang Meng's feelings for him was enough to satisfy him.
After hearing this, An Xian heaved a sigh of relief and reminded him, "Master, don't read too many random books."
Gu An couldn't help but glare at her and said, "Get lost, you disrespectful brat!"
An Xian smiled triumphantly, waved her hand in a salute, and then left.
Gu An continued to write, and the sun outside the window gradually set.
Time continued to pass.
Three years later, everyone who knew Gu An had become accustomed to his changing temperament. Through the integration of Sacred Heart Sword Dao, his Sword Intent had also improved, and the Sword Dao had once again become his most powerful skill.
One day, Gu An stood on a cliff at the edge of the Third Medicine Valley, gazing into the vast sky.
He saw that deep in the universe, near the Annihilation Domain, there appeared a massive city, entirely pitch-black, as large as the sun above the Heavenly Spirit Great World.
The Annihilation Emperor was hidden within that black city.
The Holy Court, Immortal Dynasty, Dark Abyss Empire, and Demon Sect had all sent people to investigate, but upon approaching the black city, they would turn to stone. As far as the eye could see, hundreds of stone statues hovered in the void, the strongest among them reaching the Dao Void Mystic Realm, which was a pity.
"What exactly are you planning to use to attract Long Qing?" Gu An thought to himself. The Annihilation Emperor was enveloped by a cause-and-effect power even stronger than that of a Freedom Immortal, making it impossible to deduce his identity. It must be the Annihilation Emperor's true body.
At that moment, a figure descended from the sky and landed beside Gu An. It was none other than Wu Jue.
A few years ago, Wu Jue had just broken through to the Great Achiever Realm, shaking the Taixuan Sect. Back then, he had spent a day and night drinking with Gu An.
Gu An looked at him and asked with a smile, "How did you get here?"
Wu Jue excitedly said, "I have news about An Hao. He has already reached the Nirvana Realm and has made an appointment to fight someone at sea. The Taixuan Sect is preparing to send a group of cultivators to support him, and I'll be going too."
An Hao!
He was the strongest genius in the history of the Taixuan Sect, still legendary to this day, often mentioned by many disciples.
Gu An feigned surprise, asking in a shocked tone, "He broke through so quickly? Is his opponent very powerful?"
"The opponent is a Loose Immortal. He's challenging a Loose Immortal across realms, so this matter is causing a huge stir overseas. Isn't your disciple, An Xian, close to him? Do you want me to pass on a message to her?" Wu Jue smiled, eager to witness the battle.
Gu An paused for a moment and said, "Forget it. Don't tell her. It'll only make her worry."
"That's true. You said that An Hao is so powerful that he dares to challenge a Loose Immortal in the Nirvana Realm. It's said that the higher you go in the Immortal Dao Realm, the more difficult it is to surpass. Even within the same realm, killing an opponent is as difficult as ascending to the heavens." Wu Jue said with a face full of admiration.
An Hao was younger than him, and he had only just reached the Great Achiever Realm, while An Hao had already started challenging Loose Immortals. How could he not admire An Hao?
He had once been the top genius of the Taixuan Sect for a long time, but both he and the entire Taixuan Sect felt that he wasn't the strongest genius in history because someone else had always held that position.
Gu An pointed at his own face and asked in feigned surprise, "You're asking me?"
W
Gu An gave him a sidelong glance and said, "You don't believe me? If you want to say something, just say it. I'm not afraid."
Wu Jue became more determined and said, "Since you're not afraid, I'll tell him. I look forward to seeing your meeting."
